Chapter 69: The Storm is Coming

The spring night was long, and when the darkness covered the whole land, the rain was blown by the wind, and it gradually became heavier. Spring thunder bursts, lightning flashes by, bringing instant light.

After the curfew, the streets were deserted.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped by, all the way north, in the direction of the palace. However, seeing that the palace was close at hand, the sharp dart pierced through the rainy night, and hit the neck of the man on the horse. The speed of the dart was so fast that the man didn't even have time to react, and with a muffled grunt, he fell to the ground with a bang, merging with the heavy rain. The good foal lost control and seemed to smell danger, spreading his hooves and running away.

After a while, a carriage slowly stopped, and a tall man with handsome facial features and a cold face came down from the carriage, which made him look even more gloomy and terrifying on such a rainy night.

With great speed, he searched the fallen person clean, and then coldly ordered: "Deal with it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three shadows looming in the darkness and dragged the body down. The rain was even bigger, washing the ground until it washed away all the filth and left no smell left.

The man got into the carriage, and the carriage continued on.

"Master, it's the Tan family."

The cold man presented the search, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was still cold, but his respect for the person on the seat of the carriage was clear.

With the light of the lightning instantaneously, it can be vaguely seen that the person on top is wearing a blue and black python robe, the cuffs are embroidered with gold silk auspicious cloud patterns are exquisite and gorgeous, wearing a jade crown, on his handsome face, the sword eyebrows are heroic, and the narrow phoenix eyes are full of coldness. Look at it, in today's Han Dynasty, who else can there be such a character except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu Zhuang? !

Liu Zhuang swept slightly, and knew what it was. His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glow flashed away, and the corners of his lips hooked: "If you strike first, you must also have that ability!" ”

The carriage drove smoothly into the palace, swaying leisurely, and looked particularly leisurely in the rain, which shows that its owner was not impatient at all, and he was full of bamboo.

And at this time, the main hall of the palace.

Tan Lu entered the palace overnight to face the saint, and participated in the current queen Yin's family, without the model of motherhood and the virtue of mother-in-law. Seven years ago, the emperor personally conquered Jinzhou, and the crown prince Liu Jiang was in charge of the country. After Yin, she falsely reported that the emperor was defeated, and took the opportunity to slander and persuade the prince to ascend the throne as the emperor and stabilize the dynasty. After the abolition, Guo's temperament was gentle and could not be persuaded. After the emperor returned, he was reappointed as a prince for his immorality.

The emperor threw the fold to the empress, lay down in silence, and waited for the empress to plead.

Queen Yin sat behind the screen, a silk handkerchief was crumpled by her, and panic flashed in her apricot eyes. Obviously, she didn't know what went wrong, which caused Tan Lu to suddenly attack. She understands that if the situation is not stabilized today, her future position will not be guaranteed, and even the crown prince will be implicated......

The lightning illuminated the entire hall transparently, reflecting the pale face of the Yin Queen. She was forced to be calm, slowly flipped the twists and turns, not missing a word, nor letting go of any loopholes. Fold the music, and she slowly saluted: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The three of them became tigers, and Lord Tan had no evidence, why did he want to discredit the concubines? ”

The latter words were naturally said to Tan Lu. There are words in the words, and they accuse Tan Lu of having no evidence and wronging the current queen.

The emperor has always trusted the queen of Yin, and when he saw the queen shouting grievances, he was naturally moved, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the queen to sit down, and looked at Tan Lu with more suspicion in his eyes: "Tan Lu, what the queen said is reasonable, you say so, is there any evidence?" ”

Tan Lu knelt down again: "Back to the emperor, the minister has evidence." Seven years ago, the Empress Yin tampered with the war book and changed the triumphant letter of state to the holy decree of being imprisoned and re-establishing a new king. ”

"Bring it on!"

Although the emperor was suspicious of Tan Lu, if there was really evidence, he would not have wronged a good person. He has been conquering the battlefield for many years, every city and every inch of land was brought down by him with blood and sweat, and he will never allow anyone to do such a thing behind this and steal the country, even if this person is his favorite queen of yin, he will not let it go.

"Your Majesty, in order to preserve the evidence, the minister deliberately handed it over to someone trusted by the minister, and after a while, the evidence will naturally arrive."

Tan Lu was full of confidence, Rao is Liu Zhuang is smart and wise, and he would never have thought that he did not bring the evidence with him.

"I'm afraid you don't have proof!"

Suddenly a voice sounded, and everyone looked outside the hall, and saw Liu Zhuang in a court dress, handsome, with a steady step, coming slowly.

"The sons and daughters see their father, the queen mother, and the father and the queen are healthy."

He knelt down and saluted first, very respectfully.

"Get up." The emperor was quite pleased with this son and immediately called out.

But Liu Zhuang raised his head and said, "Erchen is guilty and doesn't dare to get up." ”

"What sin can you have?" The emperor asked him.

"The sons are incompetent and cannot protect the queen mother, so that the queen mother will be slandered at such an age. Sons are not filial! ”

"Who dares to slander your mother? Cure him for his sins! The emperor suddenly breathed, and his voice was very loud. After looking around, I saw that everyone was kneeling, and this time I softened my tone: "Don't hurry up yet." ”

Liu Zhuang accepted it when he saw it: "Thank you, father!" ”

This trick is preconceived, and Liu Zhuang can do it freely.

"Your Majesty, the minister did not slander the queen's mother......"

Tan Lu had already broken out in a cold sweat, but at this time, he couldn't allow him to retreat, either admit to slandering the queen, or come up with evidence.

"The evidence will arrive soon, please give the minister another time to stick incense!" Tan Lu's head is close to the ground, how can there be a turning back arrow when he opens the bow, he can only bite the bullet, and he also believes that the evidence will arrive soon!

"Okay, a stick of incense!" The emperor spoke, and everyone could only accompany and wait.

The queen glanced at Liu Zhuang and saw that he was calm and calm, and felt a lot more relieved.

The emperor didn't call out, and Tan Lu didn't dare to do it privately, so he could only keep kneeling.

The air was quiet and the atmosphere was subtle, until a stick of incense was left and nothing was there.

"Tan Qing, where did you get the rumors, and you don't know it clearly, so you dare to bite indiscriminately?" Emperor Bo said angrily.

Tan Lu understood the emperor's words, the emperor was not without suspicions, but now he can't produce evidence, and the emperor can't believe him. With a sharp turn of thought, Tan Lu immediately pleaded guilty: "The minister deserves to die, the minister didn't find out the facts, so he wronged the queen's mother, please punish the emperor!" ”

He is a businessman, he has always been good at kung fu, and he is also thick-skinned, and it is nothing to say something against his will.

Tan Lu knew very well that the crown prince had a solid foundation, and he was not the prince's opponent, so he chose to threaten the queen, wanting to marry his daughter into the prince's mansion and be a mother in the world. But he never expected that after only one day's kung fu, he lost his martial arts and spider amber, and he instantly lost the support of the Western Regions, and his account books with the Western Regions also disappeared. He had to suspect that everything was done by the crown prince. Since the prince is ruthless, don't blame him for making the first move. However, he still underestimated the crown prince after all......

However, he is not without a chance to turn the tables. Although the emperor trusted the empress, he also believed his words a little. If the prince bites on at this time and joins him, it will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion. Then even if he has no evidence, the emperor will check it out, and there are no eggs under the nest, and he will definitely be able to find ironclad evidence!

In Tan Lu's expectant eyes, Liu Zhuang knelt down again and said, "Father, Lord Tan ......"
