Chapter 396: Hijacking
Xiao Ji was not too moved by Xiao Ji's closeness and overtures, but pulled the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "Once bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and please don't blame His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The tone is polite and distant.
Xiao Ji smiled slightly, then unfolded again, and sighed: "I know that what I say now can't make up for the murderous ...... that my father created at the beginning."
Xiao Ji's brows moved, he didn't expect Xiao Ji to admit Emperor Longqing's sins so easily.
Is it because the father and son turn against each other and want to make a profit, or do they really care about the old relationship and do things righteously?
However, just because it can't be remedied doesn't mean it doesn't have to be remedied.
Xiao Ji looked solemn, raised his hand and said: "Now that the truth has been revealed, please also ask the Holy Lord to announce to the world, return my father's innocence, and comfort me to the tens of thousands of people in Jinyang who died unjustly!"
Loud and resolute.
Xiao Ji's heart tightened and straightened up.
Emperor Longqing could never have made an edict against himself, and he was not willing to self-destruct the favorable situation that he had earned so hard.
"The stakes are high, and we have to take a long-term view. Xiao Ji shirked and said, "Father has been unwell recently, so you might as well wait ......for a while."
People are pouring out, the evidence is conclusive, and it is impossible to cover up the past.
Not to mention......
Xiao Ji quickly glanced at the former generals of the Wuwei Army who had been surrounding Xiao Ji all along.
What's more, since Xiao Ji dared to stand in front of people, beat the Dengwen drum with great fanfare, and obediently entered the palace, he would never have any preparations.
And at the moment, he doesn't have much military power in his hands, and the people he can mobilize are only enough to defend the palace.
Most of the courtiers who served him were civilian officials, and Feng Yi, who was in charge of the most soldiers, has not yet made a clear statement.
The reason why he was able to break through Emperor Longqing's detention and murder that day was just a surprise, and he took advantage of the righteousness and won by luck.
If it weren't for Emperor Longqing now in his hands, those Imperial Forest Army and Gyeonggi Guards, who were loyal to Emperor Longqing, would have led their troops directly into the palace a long time ago.
Since he couldn't persuade Xiao Ji to dispel his thoughts for the time being, all he could do at the moment was to appease and buy more time to deal with it.
Xiao Ji's mind was spinning quickly, thinking that he could delay for a moment longer.
"Long nights and dreams. Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afraid that the longer it drags on, the more troublesome things will be?" Xiao Ji knew what Xiao Ji's idea was, his face was cold, unmoved, and insisted, "Besides, it's been almost ten years, and those dead souls have been waiting long enough. ”
Xiao Ji choked, and quickly glanced at the calm and vigorous soldiers who were guarding Xiao Ji's side, and even forced laughter became difficult.
Outside, there is a famous Lishan monk who leads the scholars to petition, and there is a master who he can't see the depth of protection, obviously all of this has been planned by Xiao Ji a long time ago.
It's a pity that he thought that by getting people into the palace, he would be able to control things within his control, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of others.
Xiao Ji felt that this cousin, who had escaped by luck and had not seen him for more than ten years, was so strange that he couldn't get close to him at all.
The matter has come to this point, either kill Xiao Ji on the spot, or force Emperor Longqing to surrender his own edict.
And no matter which of these two things, Xiao Ji felt that he couldn't do it, and he didn't want to do it.
However, he was unwilling to do it, unable to choose, but someone else made a decision for him.
The two of them hadn't yet come up with a winner, and the little Liu Gonggong of Kunning Palace rushed in with a rolling belt, his face was pale, and he didn't care that there were outsiders present, so he "pounced" and fell down in front of Xiao Ji, and begged for help: "Your Highness, go to Kunning Palace to save Niangniang, save Niangniang......
Xiao Ji's face changed on the spot, and he didn't care that Xiao Ji was still watching from the side, so he hurriedly lowered his body and asked sharply, "What's wrong with the queen mother?!"
After he took control of Emperor Longqing, he ordered the removal of the imprisonment of Kunning Palace, and thought that the imperial city was under his control, so he has been busy sorting out the chaotic and cumbersome government affairs recently, but he has not paid much attention to the situation in Kunning Palace.
Unexpectedly, he was just a little slack, and as soon as he made a mistake, something happened in Kunning Palace.
"Holy Lord! Holy Lord, he sent people to surround the palace and took the queen mother!" Xiao Liu's father-in-law whimpered, "I beg Your Highness to go and save Niangniang! Save Niangniang! If it's too late, woo...... The Queen's ......"
Xiao Ji's face turned gray in an instant, his eyes were red, he was trembling with anger, and he couldn't speak for a while.
He was still thinking about the remnants of the father-son relationship of that idea, and he did not immediately order someone to draft an edict on behalf of Emperor Longqing, and use the seal to tell the world, Emperor Longqing was good, and took advantage of this opportunity to hold Queen Yang hostage!
That's his wife!
Bear children for him and help him ascend to the throne, how can he?!
Such a father and such a husband made Xiao Ji angry.
Xiao Ji frowned at the farce in front of him, straightened up, and quietly clenched his Hidden Blade.
To show sincerity, when entering the palace, Xiao Ji ordered people to confiscate their weapons, but they did not search their bodies.
It was also because of this respect and sincerity that Xiao Ji had the patience to listen to him reminisce without having a seizure on the spot.
In retrospect, this was a blessing in disguise.
Even though several of them have unique skills and excellent martial arts, they are flesh and blood, and they will inevitably be injured when they fight with swords with their bare hands.
Several generals of the Wuwei Army also quietly tightened their bodies, surrounded the center, and protected Xiao Ji more closely.
Xiao Ji glanced at He Shan, who was closest to him, He Shan nodded, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the Qinzheng Palace.
Xiao Ji was busy rescuing Queen Yang, where did he still have the heart to care if there was one less person around Xiao Ji.
"Immediately gather people and go with the palace to Kunning Palace to rescue the queen mother!" Xiao Ji said, pulling out his sword first, and immediately rushed towards the door of the hall.
When he passed by Xiao Ji's side, he didn't even look at him, and rushed out like a gust of wind.
Obviously, he was eager to save his mother, and he couldn't even take care of Xiao Ji, an enemy who was by his side.
Xiao Ji's eyebrows moved slightly.
It seems that the Lishan monk is right, Xiao Ji is indeed like his mother, who values love and righteousness, but is not like his father.
Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, and then ordered in a low voice: "Follow up." ”
He had no intention of helping Xiao Ji, a cousin with unknown intentions, but he couldn't watch his father's killer go on a rampant scale.
These people used to be loyal to the King of Jin and accompanied him from birth to death, but now they are serving Xiao Ji, and naturally they are also under an order, and life and death go hand in hand.
"Yes!" several people replied in a deep voice, maintaining the formation of guarding Xiao Ji, and followed Xiao Ji to rush out of the Qinzheng Palace.
However, as soon as he got down the jade steps, he saw Emperor Longqing, who was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword, rushing over with a team of heavily armed Imperial Forest Army.
Xiao Ji suddenly paused, quickly walked to the corner of the exit, and ordered several people to line up to take precautions.
