449. False Will

There was still chaos in Jinling City, but Han Min and the others soon found that their number of people was also inexplicably decreasing. There are those who were injured by a sudden accident www.biquge.info those who were accidentally injured, and there were those who alienated them without a trace, and there were those who were sick somehow, and there were those who disappeared suddenly and could no longer find anyone. And the sudden entry of the Qin and Xie families has made a lot of changes in the situation. The originally one-sided situation slowly began to change, and such a change made Han Min a little uneasy.

In the study room of the Han Mansion, several officials of the DPRK and China sat together with scholars with great reputation. A middle-aged man said with some concern: "Lord Han, three more colleagues have reported illness today, and a few have returned to the Yamen, plus people from the Xie family and the Qin family have joined, and the household department and the criminal department have resumed some operations today." If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be bad for us. ”

Han Min frowned and said in a deep voice, "Resume operation? The two books are gone, how did they recover? ”

The middle-aged man said: "Lin Changfeng went to the household department, and Nangong Xu went to the criminal department this morning." Lin Changfeng is Wei Gongzi's confidant, in his early years, he was in charge of Zixiao Hall for Wei Gongzi, and he has also had a lot of experience in Chenzhou in recent years, and he is assisted by people from the Qin Xie family and several officials, and it is not difficult to take charge of the household department in a short time. As for Nangong Xu, the Criminal Department is in charge of the law of criminal names, and with the assistance of Tianfu, there will be no big chaos in the short term. In addition, Xie Jiaqilang went to the Hanlin Academy, the Xie family has an outstanding reputation among scholars, Xie Qilang is also famous, and most of the officials who came out of the Xie Family Academy will give them some face. ”

Han Min nodded, "So, it was Wei Gongzi who made the move." ”

The middle-aged man said, "Someone saw that the Lord of Xingcheng County had visited the Xie family and the Qin family. ”

Han Min was silent, thought for a long time, and said, "I'm afraid that not only Gongzi Wei and the County Lord of Xingcheng, but also King Yan has probably woken up." What news is coming out of Yanwang's Mansion? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Since King Yan fell into a coma, the people in King Yan's mansion have cut off contact, but I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”

Hearing that King Yan had woken up, everyone present couldn't help but change color a little, "Lord Han, what should I do?" ”

Han Min sighed and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, you must rescue Your Majesty first!" ”

"Your Majesty is under house arrest in the palace, and it is not easy to rescue him." Someone frowned, worried about the authentic.

Han Min said in a deep voice: "Most of the people in Jinling City are on our side now, so it may not be impossible. Inform the army that there are still people from all over the city, and the time has come to serve the first emperor and His Majesty, and we can only fight hard! ”

"Yes."

That night, a sudden fire broke out in the barracks outside Jinling City. The originally quiet military camp suddenly became full of people and noisy.

"Someone burned grain and grass!"

In the big tent, Xue Zhen sat on the main seat and listened to the movement from outside with a heavy expression, and his subordinates were Nangong Xu and Xue Zhen, as well as Chen Xu, Xue Bin and others.

"General Qiyu, there is a fire in the army, and the grain and grass are burned!" A soldier hurried in and said.

Xue Zhen heard this, but he was not angry, "The grain and grass were burned, it was really bold." ”

"General......" The soldier glanced around and realized that something was not quite right. At this time, it was almost time to get to life, and everyone should have already slept peacefully. But at this time, in Xue Zhen's big tent, not only Xue Zhen was sitting neatly dressed. The few people sitting below were obviously well-dressed, and there was no drowsiness on their faces. A hint of ominousness flashed in his heart, and the soldier suddenly looked up and saw the sneer on Xue Zhen's face. Without hesitation at the moment, he flew towards Xue Zhen. At the same time, a dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and the blade was pointed directly at Xue Zhen's chest.

"Presumptuous!" As the commander of the First Army, Xue Zhen has great military achievements, and his martial arts are naturally not weak. raised his hand to block the dagger in the soldier's hand, and in the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged seven or eight moves, and neither side took advantage. The soldier was ruthless and ruthless, and he was right to the point at every turn. But he felt a strong wind behind him, and saw that Xue Bin, who was originally sitting at the bottom, had already stabbed him with a sword. Hurriedly on the table in front of Xue Zhen, he reflexively avoided Xue Bin's thunderous sword. Xue Bin sneered, perseveringly chased after him, and the two fought in the big tent. Seeing that Xue Bin was defeated, the * next to him also joined the battle group, and after a while, the soldier was put around his neck by two swords, one on the left and one on the right.

"General?!" The guards outside had already heard the movement and rushed in. Xue Zhen raised his hand to stop them, and said indifferently: "It's okay, what's going on outside?" ”

The guards were also startled when they saw the people caught by Xue Bin and the others, and hurriedly said, "Someone in the army is in turmoil, and they have rushed towards the big tent." ”

Xue Zhen sneered, "Let them come, General Ben wants to see how capable they are!" ”

"Yes, General."

Waving off the guards, Xue Zhen looked at the captured soldier, "General Ben thinks that the secret guards in the palace should have been lost, and now it seems that there are still fish that have slipped through the net?" ”

The soldier's face was cold and silent. Nangong Xu said lightly: "General Xue, don't bother. Couldn't ask anything useful. Xue Zhen nodded and said, "That's right, that's it, horizontal and vertical... We don't miss this confession. Xue Bin, take it down. ”

Xue Bin nodded, "Yes, General!" "With * one left and one right, he grabbed the soldier and walked out.

Outside the big tent gradually became lively, and the sound of soldiers was faintly heard. Nangong Xu and Xue Zhen are not in a hurry, if the two of them can control and let these people turn out of the sky, then they will be in vain. It's just that Xue Zhen said with some regret: "It's a pity, I didn't lose many people when I attacked the city, but I didn't expect ...... "They are all Great Xia people, and there is no deep hatred for each other, Xue Zhen is not willing to kill them all." Originally, the defenders of Great Xia had already surrendered, but who knew that they were secretly harboring evil intentions and plotting to make a comeback, so... These people cannot stay.

Nangong Xu didn't care, "It was too easy to surrender so easily." "Although Xiao Qianye is not a capable king, he has not acted perversely to the point of making all the courtiers think that he is a faint king. Even if he is really a faint king, there are still a few loyal courtiers.

"Before, they may not have surrendered, but someone is secretly agitating, and it is easy to rebel." Nangong Xudao.

Xue Zhen nodded, "That's right." Tonight is an example to the monkeys, and General Ben only hopes that there will be no more such things in the future. ”

Nangong Mo lowered his head and drank tea, no longer speaking.

The sound of fighting outside lasted for more than half an hour, and only then did the general come in and say, "General Qiyu, the rebellion has been taken down!" Please show the general! ”

Xue Zhen nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." ”

At this time, in the palace, the brothers Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were also anxious. Although the sound outside the city could not be heard in the palace, standing on the highest point in the palace, you could see the fire of the camp outside the city. Not long after, there were guards who reported that the military camp outside the city had mutinied. Hearing this, Xiao Qianchi sat down in the chair with some weak legs, and Xiao Qianwei's face was also pale.

The two of them had no sleep all night, and by the time the sky was slightly bright, their eyes were already red. The gate of the palace is still full of people, and the commotion is even worse than yesterday. After receiving the news, the two hurried to the gate of the palace, and saw Han Min wearing the court clothes of a first-class official, followed by a large group of ministers of the court and the central government who were also dressed in the government, standing at the front of the crowd, with a solemn expression.

This is not the first time Han Min has appeared at the palace gate, but it is undoubtedly the most formal. Xiao Qianwei's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Han, what do you want to do?" These days, Ben Gongzi is very polite to you, you don't want to get an inch. ”

How could Han Min take him seriously? With a sneer, he said proudly: "The old minister led the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, asking to see His Majesty, asking to see the Empress Dowager!" ”

"Your Majesty's serious injuries have not healed, and the Queen Mother's status is noble, how can you see it when you say it." Xiao Qianwei sneered.

Han Min didn't care either, just repeated: "The old minister asks to see Your Majesty!" ”

The officials behind Han Min also said in unison: "The ministers ask to see Your Majesty!" Your Majesty, please! ”

Seeing this, some people took the lead and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please see His Majesty the Emperor!" Suddenly, the cry shook the sky. Xiao Qianwei's face was pale, and the sky was still a little gray, looking at the crowd kneeling in front of him. What to do? Don't... Can he kill them all?

Xiao Qianchi was also helpless.

"The eldest son, the second son." At the palace gate, a guard hurriedly came to give a farewell.

"What?"

The guard whispered: "The people in the imperial study are making trouble, if it... If we don't let them go, they'll ......"

Xiao Qianwei said angrily: "What do you want?!" ”

"It's going to... Martyrdom. The guard hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Xiao Qianwei's face became even more gloomy.

"Second brother, what's going on now?"

Xiao Qianwei glanced at the person kneeling on the ground at the gate of the palace, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Seeing this, a sneer flashed on Han Min's face, and he suddenly spoke: "The two princes said that Your Majesty was seriously injured and could not see anyone, but the old minister heard that His Majesty was under house arrest by King Yan, so he didn't go to court for many days. ”

Xiao Qianwei said coldly: "Lord Han is cautious. ”

Han Min sneered, took out a bright yellow cloth from his sleeve and said, "The old man has His Majesty's blood edict in his hand to testify. King Yan put His Majesty under house arrest and plotted to disrupt the country. His Majesty took great pains to entrust this edict to his loyal ministers. We, the subjects of Great Xia, should serve the country loyally, support the royal family, and expel the traitors! ”

"Who do you say is a traitor?!" Xiao Qianwei said sharply.

Han Min raised his eyebrows and said, "Whoever should be who!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Han Min moved the edict forward in his hand, stood up and unfolded the cloth to read out the contents of the edict in public, Xiao Qianwei was angry, "Shut up!" You ......"

"Shut up." A voice came faintly, a little weak and rude, but equally full of majesty.

Everyone was stunned, only to see a group of people and horses quietly appear at the end of the street. The crowd was so excited that few people had the idea that a carriage would appear on the streets. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Nangong Mo, dressed in light blue clothes, jumped out of the carriage. Everyone was stunned again, and the person who spoke just now was clearly a male voice, but it was not the county lord of Star City.

Soon, another man came out of the carriage. He has a handsome appearance and an indifferent temperament, because his face is a little pale but it looks even colder. Who is not Wei Junmo? Wei Junmo turned around and helped a person out of the carriage, Zhong Re's heart was tight, and the identity of the person who came was about to come out, it was His Royal Highness King Yan, who had not shown up for several days.

Fang Cai's words obviously came out of his mouth as well.

"Father!" Xiao Qianchi was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout.

King Yan got out of the car, but he was still helped by Wei Junmo to the gate of the palace, and the people around the gate of the palace invariably made a way. Nangong Mo seemed to be following the two of them leisurely, but in fact, he was wary of the onlookers around him. These two are still sick now, and who knows who else is hiding in this crowd.

King Yan walked up to the group of court officials and stopped, scanning everyone with an indifferent expression. All the officials only felt a chill in their hearts, and couldn't help but bow their heads. Only Han Min was left alone, still looking up at King Yan without showing weakness. Yan Wang's face was better than Wei Gongzi's, but his body was really weaker than Wei Gongzi. He even needed Wei Junmo's support when he walked, but he still walked calmly and looked dignified. looked at Han Min lightly and didn't speak, but Han Min couldn't help but change his expression slightly. When King Yan took another step forward, Han Min finally couldn't help but take a step back.

No matter how powerful Han Min is, he is only a civil official, and he can't compete with a king like King Yan, who has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years.

King Yan snorted lightly, swept past Han Min and walked to the palace gate.

Nangong Mo followed behind him and smiled indifferently at Han Min: "Mr. Han, don't come unharmed." ”

Han Min snorted coldly and ignored it. Nangong Mo felt bored, shrugged and followed.

"Father, you're awake at last. It's just wonderful. Xiao Qianchi couldn't help but redden, and said a little choked. He was so tired these days, he had never been so helpless. obviously wants to do everything well, and even tries to get rid of his selfishness. But it's just that it's not right to do anything, the more you do it, the more wrong it is, and it's still wrong if you don't do it. Xiao Qianchi even doubted that if his father went for another ten days and half a month, would this palace really change hands again.

King Yan glanced at his two sons lightly and said, "This king is awake, you just show me this?" ”

Xiao Qianchi immediately lowered his head in shame, Xiao Qianwei didn't dare to say anything, and followed his brother silently. Looking at the listless appearance of his two sons, King Yan sighed, patted Xiao Qianchi's shoulder and said, "That's it, it's hard for you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianchi's ears couldn't help but make his eyes hot, and the words he wanted to say were choked in his throat. Xiao Qianwei only felt embarrassed and ashamed, lowered his head and held his hands tightly.

"Table... Big brother, are you alright? Xiao Qianchi quickly gathered the thoughts in his heart and asked in a low voice. When he got closer, he naturally saw Wei Junmo's face. A few days ago, they had just finished detoxifying King Yan, and they also visited Wei Junmo once, but Wei Junmo was asleep at that time, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But seeing Wei Junmo's face at this time, Xiao Qianchi knew that the young man of the string song said that Wei Gongzi released half of his blood to save his father, but he was afraid that it was not a lie. After raising it for so many days, his face is still so ugly. All these years, when have they seen Wei Gongzi with such a pale face? Even his lips seemed to have lost a bit of blood.

Wei Junmo shook his head slightly, "It's okay." ”

Han Min looked at the few people in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression, and the hand holding the bright yellow silk silk was also slightly tightened. He said in a deep voice: "Since His Royal Highness King Yan is here, please give an explanation to the old man and the people of the world." ”

"Confession?" King Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What explanation?" ”

Han Min snorted lightly and said, "The prince imprisoned His Majesty, isn't there anything to say?" ”

King Yan said: "Why don't you explain the matter of the false holy decree first?" ”

Han Min's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "The old man doesn't know what His Royal Highness King Yan means. ”

"So..."King Yan said: "Is the edict in Lord Han's hand true?" At the behest of the first emperor, this king went south to Jingjing. The traitors of the other countries should have been put to death immediately as an example. Correct... His Majesty said that Daoer and others had been teachers for the former prince and His Majesty, although they were rejected by the first emperor, they were also old, and there was no merit and hard work, but they could spare their lives. Just because His Majesty was seriously injured, he didn't even issue an edict to deal with it, but I didn't expect you to get even worse, and dare to fake the holy decree and cause trouble in the imperial city! ”

"You're spewing blood!" Han Min was furious and said sharply.

King Yan was not angry, but said: "Since Lord Han insists that there is no false holy decree, why don't you hand over the edict in your hand to the ministers for inspection?" Don't worry, this king will never move the edict, the people in front of you are all people brought by Lord Han, you should always believe it, right? ”

After listening to King Yan's words, many people hesitated a little. Suspicious eyes looked at Han Min one after another, could it be... Is it really Han Min's fake will?

Sensing his companion's suspicious gaze, Han Min became even more annoyed, "How could the old man act like this? Don't you believe in the old man? ”

Beside King Yan, Nangong Mo said with a smile: "Since Lord Han insists, I will take out the edict and check it." Why do adults shirk it like this? Could it be that the adults are really trying to slander His Royal Highness King Yan by falsely spreading their will? ”

An official behind Han Min sighed and said, "Brother Han, since the edict is true, let us take a look." Whether it is true or false is determined, and it is good to give an explanation to the people of the world. "Since King Yan has already said such things in public, if you don't check it, it will be tantamount to admitting King Yan's words. So here they stand today......

Han Min naturally knew this truth, but looking at the calm look in front of him, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason.

He looked down at the edict in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" ”

Seeing him like this, many people's hearts were relieved again. If the edict in Han Min's hand was fake, then even if they were polite standing here now, they would become rude. Several officials from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and cautiously checked the edict. The surrounding officials and people couldn't help but look at the bright yellow silk silk, silently waiting for the result, and for a while, the gate of the palace was unprecedentedly quiet in the past few days.

The sky is getting brighter, and the morning sun rises in the east. A few rays of sunlight fell on the edict, reflecting a faint golden light.

After a long time, an official's face changed greatly, and he looked at Han Min and said, "Brother Han... This... This edict..."

Han Min's heart sank, and King Yan next to him spoke, "How is the edict?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, and said with a somewhat disgraced face: "The edict... The edict is only afraid... It is not a handwritten letter from His Majesty. ”
