Chapter 182 Accident Occurred
The Iron Rider Khan is also very popular, but he has more benefits than Xu Zhao, after all, he has obtained an orchid tribe that has looted a lot of silver taels from Dahua! Moreover, this orchid tribe is Dahua's mortal enemy, and he is not worried that the orchid tribe will rebel at all. It's just that Liu Meier ran to the Dahua Dynasty to save Xu Zhilan, I don't know if there will be an accident?
On October 26, the weather was a little cooler. Xu Zhilan returned to Jinling City, only to see that the people who admired him in the past saw him enter the city at this moment, their eyes were full of anger, and the joy of seeing the sinner was caught.
In the afternoon, hundreds of civil and military officials were summoned to the Jinluan Hall to participate in the confrontation between Xu Zhilan and Xu Zhiyuan.
Prime Minister Jian and the others got close to Xu Zhilan, and they had sons and nephews serving as officials in Yangtao County, and they were very worried!
Xu Zhilan saw the eyes of the civil and military officials, his heart lightened, he walked quickly to the front, swept left and right, in addition to the cold eyes of the three princesses, he also saw the gloating Alice and a young man who looked a bit like Xu Zhao.
"Erchen has seen his father!"
"Yang Tao, the father and son of the Lou family went to assassinate Princess Chongyang, but they were instructed by you?" Ozhao asked the question himself.
"Could it be that the father and son of the Lou family relied on their sons to assassinate Princess Chongyang by themselves?" Xu Zhilan asked back.
"That's not true, they said that the assassination of Princess Luoyang and Princess Chongyang was their own idea, and it had nothing to do with King Yangtao." Gonggong Liu answered.
"The father and son of the Lou family are the remnants of the orchid, and they are mainly based on the king of Yangtao, such a big thing, without the orders of your king of Yangtao, they dare to assassinate Princess Dahua? Moreover, the three princesses were lightly dressed and obedient, and the request not to accept the government's help was made by King Yangtao, is this obviously to facilitate the assassination? Isn't that right? Now you want to lose your pawn and keep the handsome, when we are all fools? Xu Zhiyuan smiled and swept over the civil and military officials.
Xu Zhilan didn't want to have a war of words with Xu Zhiyuan, so he said to Xu Zhao: "Father, can you let the Lou family father and son go to the palace to confront each other?" ”
Gonggong Liu glanced at Xu Zhao, and then ordered someone to bring the Lou family father and son into the hall.
The father and son of the Lou family didn't dare to look at Xu Zhilan's eyes, and the two of them bowed their heads deeply!
"Lou Jingzhi, Lou Qingshan, did this king send you to assassinate Princess Chongyang?" Xu Zhilan asked fiercely.
"A manly husband dares to do it, the assassination of Princess Luoyang and Princess Chongyang has nothing to do with King Yangtao, it is all my father and son's private action!" Lou Jingzhi said loudly.
"Orchid Empress Xu Zhilan, you have two loyal subordinates, but in this case, who believes it?" Xu Zhiyuan said loudly.
Xu Zhilan ignored Xu Zhiyuan, took out the orchid jade seal, and said to the Lou family father and son: "Lou Jingzhi, Lou Qingshan, you two looked at the orchid jade seal in the king's hand, and said loudly What did this king let you do?" To be honest, there must be no half-a sentence to hide! ”
The father and son of the Lou family looked up at the orchid jade seal, and felt even more guilty in their hearts, and said loudly: "The assassination of Princess Luoyang and Princess Chongyang has nothing to do with King Yangtao, it is all my father and son's private action!" ”
Xu Zhilan knew that the Lou family's father and son wanted to admit it themselves to save his life!
"Bang", the orchid jade seal was slammed on the hall by Xu Zhilan, which frightened the ministers, and even shouted out the sound of escort. When the generals wanted to push Xu Zhilan, they were stopped by Xu Zhao's "retreat".
"Lou Jingzhi, Lou Qingshan, you don't dare to tell the truth to the orchid jade seal! Since you don't respect your orchid jade seal and want to kill me, I admit it! But I beg you, please tell the truth, don't harm my family! ”
When Xu Zhilan said this, he burst into tears, and knelt down towards the Lou family father and son, and hit his head on the floor with a straight sound of "knock, knock, knock".
Xu Zhao stood up from the dragon chair and said loudly: "Lou Jingzhi, as long as you tell the truth, I will spare your father and son from dying!" ”
Lou Qingshan saw Xu Zhilan kneeling so sadly and begging them to tell the truth, he couldn't stand it, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I'll tell the truth!" At that time, you ordered our father and son to lead a team to kill Princess Luoyang and Princess Jinyang, and we were only allowed to fail, not succeed! Our father and son originally wanted to listen to your words and pretend to kill Princess Luoyang and Princess Jinyang, but Princess Jinyang actually lived in a private house, and our father and son couldn't find it for a while, so they went to kill Princess Luoyang first. ”
Xu Zhilan slowly raised his head, smiled and wiped the blood on his head.
Gonggong Liu immediately sent a handkerchief and helped Xu Zhilan up.
"Thank you!" After thanking Gonggong Liu, Xu Zhilan said to Lou Qingshan: "You continue!" ”
Lou Qingshan went on to say that they went to the Tongfu Inn to kill the shopkeeper, and Xiao Jinfeng came in, and admitted that he was Alice's person, and the poisonous smoke was put by Xiao Jinfeng. After killing the Tongfu Inn, their father and son were ready to go to Princess Jinyang, but Xiao Jinfeng disagreed, saying that killing Princess Chongyang or killing Princess Jinyang made no difference to usurping the throne.
"Thank you, your father and son have only listened to my order carefully until today! I thank you! Xu Zhilan bowed to the Lou family father and son.
"Xu Zhilan, you have done so much preparatory work, just to pretend to assassinate, and you are only allowed to fail, not successful, do you believe it?" Xu Zhiyuan said.
Xu Zhilan sighed and said to Xu Zhiyuan: "If I guess correctly, you are Xu Zhiyuan, right?" Take your father's token of the prince everywhere and deceive around, and tell Liu Mei'er about our Dahua's perfect plan to attack Jingyang Kingdom, so that before I left Liu Mei'er's big tent, she put a knife on the belly and almost died in the grassland! ”
"You still have to explain why you sent the Lou family father and son to assassinate Princess Luoyang and Princess Chongyang! Explain your question first, and my question will fall into place. Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"I remember that my father once asked my son who he intended to be the prince of Dahua, and my son replied to Princess Ziyang or Princess Luoyang at that time, did my son tell a lie?" Xu Zhilan looked at Xu Zhao and asked.
"It's true, you said at the time that the most optimistic person is Luoyang!" Xu Zhao replied truthfully.
"In late September, the king came back from the Yangtao grassland, saying that he wanted to go back to Yangtao County to see, and the next day, Princess Luoyang ran to the Yangtao Palace, saying that she wanted to go to Yangtao County with the king. The king was worried that Xu Zhiyuan might assassinate all the princesses of the rank and make it easier for him to ascend to the throne, so he said that Princess Luoyang was welcome to play in Yangtao County, but this king did not provide security. The implication is to let her give up going to Yangtao County! ”
After describing to the ministers, Xu Zhilan looked at Princess Luoyang and asked, "Luoyang, is there such a thing?" ”
Princess Luoyang nodded.
Xu Zhilan looked at Xu Zhao and asked again: "Father, Erchen once said that the most disoptimistic person is Princess Chongyang, she is not the material for being a monarch at all!" Although, she gave Erchen the Night Pearl and gave Erchen a lot of silver tickets. This king admits that he is a little greedy for money, but standing in the general righteousness of the country, Erchen has always thought that Princess Chongyang is not suitable to be a prince! ”
