Under the dragon chair, the cold light was shining, Ji Yue stared at Yan Jing coldly, and said word by word: "Scholar Yan, falsely preaching the holy decree, but it is a big crime to punish the nine clans!"

Yan Jing's face was embarrassed, he lowered his head, and after being silent for a while, he still said firmly: "The body of the minister, if you can comfort Your Majesty's spirit in the sky, why be afraid of death?"

"The emperor is in the palace, but the third prince Ji Yun and Duan Yiyi colluded to assassinate him, and it happened suddenly, how can there be any edict?" Ji Yue stared at Yan Jing's eyes and said calmly: "If the emperor has an edict left, where is he now?"

Yan Jing lowered his head and saluted respectfully: "The edict is now in the hands of the Third Highness, and I also ask His Royal Highness to enter the palace to meet him, and everything will naturally be known." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

At the beginning of the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, the crimes of the third prince Ji Yun had been pointed out, assassinating and bullying the king, colluding with other countries, and the crime was unforgivable...... It's in the hands of the Third Highness!

Yan Jing bowed to the ground, every word, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty was assassinated when he was seriously ill, and the whole world mourned, but only a few days after the incident, the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War said that it was done by His Royal Highness. The old minister knows that His Royal Highness is a human being, and he will never dare to do this evil act, as for His Majesty's edict, the minister dares to guarantee it with the head of the item, which is indeed true. ”

Ji Wen's hands trembled a little, and his heart was even more miserable.

He never thought that before the assassination broke out, his father would leave an edict under his nose!

What was written on the edict, he could think clearly with his toes, and he suddenly felt a trace of sadness, it seemed that his father was really disappointed in himself.

Ji Wen stood silently beside Ji Yue, looking at the emperor's uncle who was frowning, and his heart was even more desperate, if Yan Jing's words were true, his father really left an edict, even if the enthronement ceremony had been carried out to the last step, but with the emperor's uncle's temperament, I was afraid that he would not let himself easily get his wish.

Therefore, if the prince wants to sit on the dragon chair smoothly, he must completely defeat this sudden edict!

"Ji Yun and Duan Yiyi, the lieutenant of the Shence Army, colluded with each other, and it was a sure thing that they would do this rebellious act. ”

The prince looked at the ministers in front of the palace and said slowly: "Ji Yun is used to smearing grease and whitewashing on weekdays, deceiving the world and confusing the public. Besides, if the father and the emperor really have an edict left, why do the queen mother and the palace, including the emperor's uncle, know nothing about this matter?"

Hearing this, some of His Royal Highness's ministers have already made relieved expressions, and such a thing as an edict can be forged.

Ji Yue, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly looked up at Yan Jing, frowned and said: "This king has always deeply respected the old bachelor as a person, but what he heard and saw today really disappointed this king, as an old minister of Dayan, he actually secretly shielded the assassin mastermind, and when your hundred-year-old soul returns to Jiuquan, what face will you have to see Your Majesty's heroic soul at that time?!"

Ji Yue's eyes became colder and colder, and he looked at the frowning man kneeling in the hall and said sharply: "The first assistant scholar Yan Jing colluded with the court to repeat the offense and falsely spread the will of the emperor. Come, expel him from His Highness, and put him in prison for later trial!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.

King Xiaoyao, who has always handled the government with gentle means, why did he choose this strong and iron-blooded way to suppress it when it came to the matter of the emperor's edict?

Yan Jing smiled helplessly, without the slightest struggle, let the eunuch in front of the palace hold his arm, he was ready to die at the moment of admonition, but he still didn't expect that the prince's attitude would be so tough, and the ministers in front of the palace would be so frightened, and no one dared to come out and speak.

The fate of the lonely minister will never be much better.

The eunuchs walked out of the hall with Yan Jing half-hugged and half-guarded, and in front of the main hall were several murderous guards with knives, who were waiting for them.

The crown prince's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know why the emperor chose to detain Yan Jing so strongly, but it was always a good thing for himself, and now I hope that these civil servants can be intimidated by the power of the royal family, and dare not be too presumptuous, so that the enthronement ceremony will end as soon as possible.

Yan Jing was dragged away in embarrassment, and while being dragged away, the old man thought in his heart that his reputation was outside, and he might not die immediately, but when the prince really sat on the dragon chair, would he be greeted with a glass of poisonous wine or a white silk?

At this moment, everyone heard a faint sigh.

The sigh came from the person in the second column of civil officials, who was ranked by the border generals in a book and had a very high reputation in the army...... Qin Lao Shangshu.

He dragged a drooping old body, slowly walked out of the ranks, and then slowly knelt down and spoke slowly.

"The old minister asked the prince to take back his will.

The ministers were in an uproar.

Ji Yue's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that this eighty old minister would actually stand up at this time, even if he was friends with Yan Jing in private, but at the solemn moment of this national ancestry, what does this military department still mean?

Qin Ling lowered his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty has a testament, and the minister also asks the Queen Mother to announce His Majesty's will in the palace." ”

Ji Yue's eyes slowly narrowed, and the cold light gradually grew.

Then he said indifferently: "As an old minister of Dayan, but pretending to be an edict, Qin Shangshu, you should also go and reflect on it." ”

As soon as the words fell, another eunuch guard stepped forward and framed Qin Ling's body.

In an instant, the Taihe Hall was suddenly filled with a solemn atmosphere of panic, a scholar and a scholar were in the palace to oppose the crown prince's accession to the throne!

Of course, the courtiers didn't know about the affair between Ji Yun and Ji Ling'er, and when they saw this situation, they couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Right now.

A voice with a smile sounded.

"Lord Wang, this is a scholar and a military secretary, so arbitrary, it's not good. ”

Ji Yue frowned, looked at the source of the voice, and then a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The segment is top-notch.

Previously, the Shence Army had been under the control of the emperor himself, but later the emperor was old, so he delegated a part of the Shence Army to Duan Yiyi, who had made great achievements, until the emperor was seriously ill five years ago, Duan Yixin gradually took all the Shence Army into his own hands, took refuge in Ji Yun, and became the most powerful chess piece in his hands.

Therefore, after Ji Yue stabilized the palace, the first order he made was to withdraw Duan Yi directly, and the Shence Army returned to the Ji family again.

It's just that today, why did he suddenly appear in the temple, and he also said wildly that he wanted to take back his fate.

Who gave you the guts?

The cold light in Ji Yue's eyes became more and more intense, and he suddenly shouted: "The Divine Ce Army listens to the order, Duan Yi has no saints, intends to rebel, and the crime is unforgivable." Decapitate instantly, no mercy!"

Duan Yiyi had a playful smile on his face.

In front of the hall, dozens of armor-clad and sword-wearing Shence troops belonged, and none of them made any moves.

A cold light flashed in Ji Yue's eyes, "What?!You also want to disobey the order and rebel!"

Duan Yi snorted twice, looked at Ji Yue and said, "Oh, what's wrong with that invincible King of Ease?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, then he clapped his hands and said softly: "The Shence Army listened to the order and sent the prince, the prince and the queen mother to the Hanguang Palace, and waited for His Highness's follow-up arrangements." ”

"Yes. ”

Dozens of Shence soldiers with long knives on their waists poured into the hall like a tide, looking at the armored sergeant under his feet, Ji Yue felt that his head was dizzy, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

The prince's face finally found it difficult to remain calm, and he became gloomy and flustered, how could he not have thought that Duan Yiyi, who had been deprived of his official position, could still have such a great influence in the Shence Army!

The Divine Ce Army is the division of the Tiger Ben carefully cultivated by the Great Yan Imperial Family, and it is the absolute main force guarding the Kyoto 0 Imperial Palace, and the Divine Ce Army that can carry a sword in front of the emperor belongs to at least the cultivation of the four realms.

What to do?

A stagnant pain between Ji Yue's eyebrows began to spread throughout his brain, and he suppressed it in his heart and thought, Ji Yun, Ji Yun, it seems that this king still underestimated your energy in the palace.

He looked at the solemn sergeant who had walked in front of him step by step, and his face turned ugly.

......

......

A remote alley in Dayanjing, Kyoto, is a little far from the Imperial Palace, and not close to the most luxurious mansion in Kyoto, but at this time it is extremely quiet, not to mention the movement of the crowd, not even the slightest sound of cicadas.

The name of the alley is Osmanthus Lane, a very inconspicuous name. Reading the Library

At the end of the alley is a quiet courtyard, which was bought by someone two years ago. In the past few years, only one woman has come to live a few times, and I don't know what the identity of that woman is, but she can buy such a quiet courtyard.

In the Dayan Palace today, there is a real life-and-death battle going on, but Ye Fan, who was supposed to be on standby in the palace, was sitting very leisurely under the tree in this courtyard at this time, drinking tea, while looking down and thinking about something.

He suddenly frowned, and asked the sweet-looking girl beside him, "Except for the prince, who else knows about your courtyard?"

Luo Tingnan shook his head, and there was a trace of unconcealed sorrow between his eyebrows.

This courtyard is a secret base purchased by Luo Tingnan himself.

Except for Luo Qingxuan, who occasionally came here, no one knew that it was Luo Tingnan who bought this small courtyard. Therefore, after Ye Fan made a series of things last night, he did not choose to continue to stay in the palace, but chose to come to this small courtyard, not worried about being found by outsiders at all.

At this time, the palace was in turmoil, Ye Fan didn't want to take risks, only the courtyard in this alley could ensure his safety, and at the same time facilitate the communication between him and Qiao Sandao.

Ye Fan's brows suddenly furrowed, he stood up from the chair, and looked at the back door of the small courtyard calmly.

Because he heard someone walking towards this courtyard, and the person who came was obviously not Qiao Sandao who he was waiting for.

With a creak, the wooden door of the small courtyard was unlocked from the outside and slowly pushed open.

Luo Tingnan was in front of Ye Fan and whispered, "Hurry up." ”

Ye Fan didn't move, just looked at the woman who walked in at the back door and smiled, the emotions in his smile were very complicated, and then he reached the ground and said, "Ye Fan, I've seen Miss Qingluan." ”

The person who came was not Qiao Sandao, but Shi Ruoyu's only apprentice, Zhao Qingluan, who had an entanglement with Ye Fan.

Zhao Qingluan's face was calm, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, he looked at Ye Fan quietly, and after a while, he saluted and said, "Qingluan has seen Ye Fan Shaoxia. ”

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that he was waiting for news from his subordinates in the courtyard, but he didn't expect to wait for this one.

"Miss Luo, can you go and rest first?"

Ye Fan's face was a little embarrassed, knowing that what Zhao Qingluan was going to say next definitely didn't want this little princess of Dayan to hear, but at this time, the two of them were on other people's territory, and it was really a little unkind to drive people out like this.

Luo Tingnan pursed his mouth as if he was angry, but he didn't have a seizure with Ye Fan, but retreated to the house empathetically, but before closing the door, he glanced at the woman with a graceful temperament and a good figure, and thought to himself, what is the relationship between such a beautiful girl and Ye Fan?

Zhao Qingluan came here alone, although he did not deliberately disguise himself, but he obviously made some arrangements.

Ye Fan looked at her quietly, stretched out his hand to invite her to sit down, and said after a moment of silence: "I can imagine that Lord Guo passed the news out, but I didn't expect the girl to have such great courage, knowing that Dayan Kyoto was in turmoil, but she dared to come to meet me alone. ”

"Compared with Shaoxia, Qingluan's courage is a small thing. Zhao Qingluan was as dignified and polite as ever, and replied with a smile: "I know that Ji Yun will not be willing to do this, but Shaoxia can still sit in a small courtyard and watch the situation reverse, I really don't know if Shaoxia is confident or at a loss." ”

Ye Fan looked at Zhao Qingluan's gentle face, and said softly and helplessly: "If I really have confidence, why would I provoke the girl to come." ”

Zhao Qingluan responded: "Now the situation in Dayan Kyoto is critical, and the master is responsible for stabilizing the border passes, and he will definitely not be able to leave the country, so if the young man wants to meet the master, he is afraid that it will be a little difficult." It's just that I don't know what the difficulties of the young man are, I took the liberty to come to see it, and I hope that the young man will not be surprised. ”

Ye Fan sighed: "It's so annoying to the girl, Ye Fan should say not to be surprised." ”

Zhao Qingluan's eyes were slightly confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ye Fan scratched his head, and also felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhao Qingluan bit his lower lip lightly and said softly: "After the young man left the Holy Water Secret Realm, why didn't he even want to see Qingluan?

Ye Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How is it possible." I'm just afraid of disturbing the girl's cultivation, and besides, I don't know what kind of identity to see the girl......"

Zhao Qingluan lowered his head and thought for a while, leaned closer to Ye Fan's side, and said softly: "I don't know if the young man still remembers, the Holy Water Secret Realm, Liangzhou City, have you promised me anything?"

Ye Fan nodded helplessly and said: "I agreed to the girl's matter, Ye Fan will not forget it, but at this moment, please don't make it too difficult for me." ”

Zhao Qingluan smiled and said: "At this time and that time, Qingluan is not a vexatious person, of course he will not make things difficult for young heroes." It's just that Shaoxia wants to prevent Ji Yun from ascending the throne, and the Shence Army is probably the biggest obstacle for Shaoxia and the Dayan Imperial Court. ”

Ye Fan sighed, Duan Yiyi's perfect control of the Divine Ce Army can be regarded as a stab at his own vital point, and also a stab at the weakness of the Carefree King Ji Yue.

Ye Fan also had a headache about this matter, Duan Yi's first-class natal flying sword exploded, and he was later deprived of his official position by Ji Yue's will, but he didn't expect this sudden mutiny to catch everyone off guard.

He glanced at Zhao Qingluan, frowned, and said: "The Kyoto garrison division is stationed in Yuantai, as long as there is no problem with the City Gate Division, it is still the Shence Army that can solve the general trend of Kyoto." ”

Both were silent.

Zhao Qingluan suddenly asked, "Why would Emperor Dayan Xian rest assured that Duan Yiyi would be in charge of the Divine Ce Army? Why did he turn a blind eye to Ji Yun's various bad deeds, this is a big doubt, why on earth?"

Ye Fan pondered silently, thinking about the way to solve the situation.

Zhao Qingluan suddenly said faintly: "Otherwise, Shaoxia should invite that girl out, she has a much clearer control over the situation in Dayan Kyoto than you and me." ”

......

......

Ye Fan is a very careful and cautious person.

So he stayed in the courtyard of the alley for a little longer, until it was getting dark, and then he put on a very common hat, and went out of the courtyard, out of the alley, and walked in the direction of the palace to the east between the white flags of the houses.

He decided to take a risk and enter the palace to meet Ji Yue and Guo Huaiyong.

He was a little anxious, so he didn't pay much attention to the environment around him, and it wasn't until he immediately walked out of the alley that he noticed a few strange breaths on his side.

I have been discovered.

Ye Fan frowned, turned into an alley behind him, and tried to disappear between the overlapping houses in Kyoto before these people could surround him.

And those people have rushed forward without fear of death.

Ye Fan turned around suddenly, Jiuxiao Tian took the opportunity out of the sheath, and slashed at the throat of the nearest person, but in an instant, that person was in a different place.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fan's figure disappeared in place in an instant, appeared behind another person, and another sword was slashed out, and the target of this sword was the opponent's neck.

The two swords were very light, clean and swift, and there was no time for the three of them to send any messages.

But Ye Fan knew that there must still be Ji Yun's people in this alley, so he didn't stop at all, another black shadow flashed out, and he left the alley in an instant.

At this moment, a man flew over from the sky.

An iron palm the size of a grinding disc went straight towards the top of Ye Fan's head!

The palm wind was like a knife, and Ye Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his scalp ached.

At this time, he realized that for those people in the palace, force is always the last resort, but for himself, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Kyoto, and the masters are endless, and he must not be taken lightly.

For example, the palm that came at this time has at least the level of more than the six realms.

Ye Fan didn't have time to think about it, the sword qi spread to the palm of his hand, and his palms were silently opposed, as if they were stuck in one place.

In the next moment, he took a deep breath, controlled the Nine Heavens with his sword technique, and slashed out a sword qi several zhang long.

A muffled grunt sounded.

The master took a few steps back, his face a little incredulous.

This young man's sword seems to be a bit overbearing.
