"Is it true? That Han Lin is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"

"Didn't the queen say that the fourth prince poisoned her wine and intended to rape her daughter?

"Isn't the fourth prince a peerless waste, how can he be so powerful?"

When everyone below heard this, they were skeptical, mainly because in the past six months, Ba Linglong's mother and son had poured a lot of dirty water on Qin Xiao in order to wash their hands, confusing the public.

"We're just plain-headed people, we can't care so much, we just know that we have to live, and if we don't open the door, we can only knock the door open!"

"Yes, open the door, we won't mess with these things, we're going to Xianghe City!"

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

Just as the chaos was showing signs of subsidence, someone shouted, and suddenly the crowd surged again, pushing and rushing towards the city gate.

"Listen to my orders, kill those who bewitch the crowd with evil words! Kill those who take the lead in rushing through the pass!"

Captain Zhao immediately made a decision, shouted a sharp order, took the lead in sweeping down the city wall, and landed next to the person who was the first to make a fuss.

"Click!"

The cultivation of the True Qi Realm unfolded, and he slashed out the True Knife like lightning, cutting off the person's head with one sword.

"Click, click!"

Immediately, his subordinates also raised their knives and killed dozens of people to the ground in the blink of an eye.

With so many people dying in front of their eyes, the surging crowd immediately stopped, and they all looked at Captain Zhang and the others with fear.

Captain Zhang looked around coldly, hugged his fists in the direction of the palace, and said: "General Zou said, no one is allowed to leave the city without his order! ”

Everyone didn't dare to look at Captain Zhang, and secretly retreated, for fear of offending the military might of Captain Zhao and others, and becoming a soul who died in vain.

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, at this time, if you don't use extraordinary means, the situation will definitely deteriorate, but you can't just suppress it bloodily, this situation is really difficult for these soldiers.

"I hope Your Majesty and they will stabilize the situation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for us to withstand the pressure from here. ”

Back on the city wall, Captain Zhang looked at the crowd that was still coming, and his face was extremely cold.

If he is careless and causes a riot among the people below, he is a martial spirit sinner.

At this time, Qin Xiao and his entourage had already rushed to the prison and summoned the prison warden.

"The junior official meets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Prime Minister!"

When the warden saw that it was Qin Xiao who was the leader, he immediately showed surprise, knelt down and bowed.

The prison was located in the middle of nowhere, and they could not leave their posts without permission, and they did not yet know the specifics of the coup.

But he had seen Qin Xiao before, and looking at the situation in front of him, he had already guessed a few points in his heart, and he couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious.

"Presumptuous, don't knock on Your Majesty yet!"

Yelu Chu immediately screamed, and suddenly frightened the prisoners and prostrate on the ground, they are such small officials, how have they ever seen the true face of the king, and they dare not offend Long Wei if they have a hundred dares.

"He who does not know is not guilty, so get up. ”

Qin Xiao motioned for the wardens to get up and asked, "Where is Lao Cheng, lead us over." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The warden was still in shock, and led Qin Xiao and the others to the depths of the prison without obeying the call.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!

The vision in the prison was dim, and when the prisoners in the prison saw someone coming in, they all leaned over the prison fence and looked out, and when they saw that it was Qin Xiao and Yelu Chu and others, they were all shocked, and immediately knelt down to meet them.

They were all extraordinary before they were imprisoned, so they naturally understood what it meant for Qin Xiao and Yelu Chu to come to the prison together.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has finally looked forward to you, and the minister has been wronged!"

After reacting, someone shouted in prison and shouted injustice.

"Lord Zhou, please get up. ”

As soon as Qin Xiao saw that it was this person, he immediately walked to the side of the prison and helped him up.

When Qin Xiao was framed by Ba Linglong's mother and son, he vigorously stated all kinds of unreasonableness in this matter, hoping to rehabilitate Qin Xiao, so that he would be persecuted by Ba Linglong's mother and son, and Qin Xiao naturally would not forget.

"Your Highness!"

Lord Zhou was grateful, and he held Qin Xiao's hand for a long time and did not let go.

Qin Xiao was finally rehabilitated, and his grievances had to be washed away, and he could finally leave this dark cage.

Qin Xiao had a brief conversation with Lord Zhou, and said to Tao Yan: "Tao Yan, you stay and rescue Lord Zhou and them from prison." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tao Yan promised.

"Your Majesty?"

Lord Zhou and the others were originally just guessing, but now when they heard Tao Yan call Qin Xiao His Majesty, they prostrate on the ground with great joy.

Most of them were convicted because they refused to bow their knees to Ba Linglong's mother and son or were not happy with Ba Linglong's mother and son, and now that Qin Xiao has ascended the throne, their days of humiliation are over.

The situation was critical, Qin Xiao did not stay long, and continued to walk forward.

"Gentlemen, please get up. ”

As soon as Qin Xiao left, Tao Yan immediately said to Lord Zhou and the others.

These people are undoubtedly loyal to Qin Xiao and Wu Ling, and they will definitely be reused after they are released from prison, so he naturally has to handle the relationship well.

The old prime minister Sikong Zhao was imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison, probably because the prison took special care of him, and an oil lamp was lit in the prison, so he could see the situation inside.

At this time, Sikong Zhao was sitting with his back to the prison door, writing something by the light, his withered white hair was scattered, slightly messy, and his body was thin but sitting like a yellow bell, revealing the unique style of a scribe.

"Old Prime Minister. ”

Qin Xiao shouted softly, afraid of disturbing Sikong Zhao's writing.

Sikong Zhao entered the office at the age of eighteen, starting from the county of a small county, and it took 30 years to become the prime minister of the extremely popular minister, and he was re-elected as the prime minister for more than 40 years.

Whether it is a small official of 200 stones like Ren Xiancheng, or a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, the old prime minister has done his best to dedicate his life to the revival of Wuling, and has always been regarded as a royal teacher by the first king of Wuling, and he naturally has great respect for Qin Xiao.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The old prime minister slowly turned around, confirmed that it was Qin Xiao, stretched out his hand to pick up the hem of his clothes, and bowed to Qin Xiao with a solemn expression.

"The guilty minister greets Your Majesty. ”

With the wisdom of the old prime minister, of course, he understood why Yelu Chu accompanied Qin Xiao here, so he regarded himself as above the court, and the official etiquette naturally would not have a trace of gaffe.

"Old Prime Minister, please get up. ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old prime minister up.

"Teacher, you have suffered. ”

Yelu Chu looked at the old prime minister's thin appearance, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and he bowed deeply to the old prime minister.

He worshiped under Sikong Zhao from the age of more than ten years, from the doorman of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the long history, to the long history to the guest secretary, and then to the position of the counselor in the court, etc., all of which were Sikong Zhao's meticulous care and selfless guidance, and he was finally able to serve as the prime minister, but also because Ba Linglong's mother and son were afraid of the influence of the old prime minister's relative government, and wanted to use him to stabilize a group of the old prime minister's protégés.

Forced by the situation, the old prime minister was imprisoned in the prison, not only could he not be rescued, but he never even came, and he was really ashamed at this moment.

"Prime Minister Yelu, you are doing well, you don't have to be like this. ”

Although Yelu Chu had great respect for the old prime minister, the old prime minister did not rely on the old man and betray the old man, and held Yelu Chu up.

The rise and fall of dynasties, there are so many ghosts in them, no matter who is in power, there must be people to contribute to the court and seek benefits for the common people of Wuling.

Yelu Chu has been in office as prime minister for more than half a year, and has ensured the stability of Wuling to the greatest extent, protected many upright ministers, and the pressure he faces from the Ba family is naturally not small, and it is indeed not easy.
