Li Jinglong shouted at Wang Han and said, "Wang Han, you dare to pretend to be sick and lead the army to besiege the Qin envoy, are you going to rebel?" ”

Wang Han pointed at Li Jinglong with the tip of his knife and scolded: "Cao Guogong, you are a close relative of King Zhou in vain, and you actually took advantage of his unpreparedness to frame him, are you still human?" ”

Li Jinglong pointed at Zhang Shixing and said: "There is a Jinyi guard, and I am just acting on orders." ”

At the critical moment, he pushed the matter away.

Wang Han pointed at Zhang Shixing again and said, "Zhang Yanshi, what crime has my prince committed?" You're going to make a big move and trap him? ”

Zhang Shixing knew that there were only hundreds of soldiers in the park, and it would be difficult to resist the enemy, so he could only delay time at the moment, and only when the army outside the palace invaded could he reverse the crisis, so he took out Zhu Youjiao's confession paper, shook it down, and said: "You wait until you see it clearly, Zhu Youjiao, the second son of the king of Zhou, the king of Runan County, sued the king of Zhou for rebellion, and there are three major crimes, one is that the palace exceeds the system, which is comparable to the palace; the second is to make friends with foreign ministers and express grievances; The third is to write books and teach medicines, and buy people's hearts. There are these three crimes, so Jinyi Wei temporarily detained the king of Zhou and sent him to Jingshi, respectfully asking His Majesty to deal with it. Maybe the emperor's grace was vast and the king of Zhou was pardoned and released, or the king of Runan County falsely accused his father, and the court distinguished right from wrong and sent him back to the domain, but it is not known. It must be an undetermined number, and now that you soldiers are besieging the envoys, it is really unwise, it is better to disperse as soon as possible, Cao Guogong will not pursue your crimes. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong nodded again and again: "The big guy is eager to protect the master, I know, after I return to Beijing, I will definitely show the emperor your loyalty, and the emperor will definitely reward you." Now let's disperse and wait for the court to deal with it. ”

Wang Han sneered and said: "You have said it well, I will be favored by King Zhou, and if we don't understand this matter today, we will never give up." You say that the king of Runan is the first to accuse his father, so where is the other man, ask him to come out and confront him. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "The king of Runan has already gone to Runan to take up the domain, how to come out and confront him." When the king of Zhou arrived in Beijing, he would mention the king of Runan County to confront him, and after the trial of the three law divisions, everything would be revealed. Don't worry, let's disperse. ”

Wang Han raised his hand and said: "That's not necessary, let's confront each other here, come here, and bring the king of Runan County." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of soldiers staggering forward with a man who staggered forward and shouted at the crowd inside and outside the wall, and said that he would spare his life.

Zhang Shixing took a closer look, that person was Zhu Youjiao, the king of Runan County, and couldn't help but look dark, and almost planted the wall, he was really afraid of something, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Wang Han waved his knife on the top of Zhu Youjiao's head, scaring Zhu Youjiao half to death, Wang Han shouted to him: "King Runan, how did you sue King Zhou for rebellion, you have to tell the truth, if there is a half-word lie, I know you, you must know that the knife in my hand does not recognize you." ”

Zhu Youjia even shouted that he was wronged, and pointed to Zhang Shixing on the wall and said: "It was that Jinyi Wei Zhang who tortured to extract a confession, Xiao Wang, and I had to falsely accuse my father." I think my father has always loved the people like a son, and he wrote books and said that he was a natural saint to cure diseases and save people, and how he rebelled was all caused by their torture. As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeve, revealing his left arm, on which at some point a few blood marks appeared.

Wang Han pointed to Zhu Youyi's blood marks and said: "Zhang Yishi, you Jinyiwei have always framed good people, under the five trees, why can't you ask for it, let go of my King Zhou, otherwise you will all die under the knife." When the palace guards heard this, they were clamoring and shouted, "Framed, framed." Release people, release people. ”

When Zhang Shixing saw that the big thing was not good, he hurriedly ordered someone to put the king of Zhou on the wall, and said to the king of Zhou: "Lord, we are also acting on orders, please forgive the prince." You asked Wang Han to retire, I will guarantee that you will not die, and when the prince goes to Beijing, he will tell the emperor by himself, maybe it will be fine. Otherwise, we will burn all the jade today. With that, the knife was drawn on King Zhou's neck.

King Zhou looked at Wang Han, but he burst into tears and choked up: "Wang Han, this king is wrong to blame you." Now it's too late to regret it. Who this king is, everyone knows, he is worthy of his ancestors, and he is worthy of his ministers and people, and I am not humiliated. Then he lowered his head and killed himself by wiping his neck.

Zhang Shixing was shocked, fortunately he was quick to move, and as soon as he withdrew the knife, King Zhou only cut the flesh and skin, Rao was so, the blood on his neck flowed, Zhang Shixing hurriedly ordered his subordinates to escort him down and bandage the wound.

Wang Han, who was outside the wall, saw that the king of Zhou had killed himself, and he couldn't help crying, and said: "Traitor, dare to harm my king, today I will fight to the death to avenge my king." With a wave of the sword, he commanded the army to attack Shouchun Garden, and the palace guards also thought that the king of Zhou had been killed, and everyone was angry, shouting revenge, and marched forward bravely, and in a moment, they broke through the garden gate.

Li Jinglong and Zhang Shixing retreated to the Lingxu Pavilion with King Zhou, condescending, desperately resisting, and most of the guards around them were killed and wounded.

At this moment, the sound of killing inside and outside the palace shook the sky, and Li Jinglong's army broke through the four gates of the palace, rushed in, and surrounded Wang Han and others.

Li Jinglong shouted at Wang Han on the Lingxu Pavilion: "Wang Han, I see that you are loyal to the Lord, spare you from death, surrender quickly." ”

King Zhou also poked his head out of the railing and cried: "Wang Han, your loyalty, this king knows, don't do useless things, it's better to save your life." ”

As soon as Wang Han saw the king of Zhou, he knelt down and kowtowed, bowed three times, and said: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, Wang Han can no longer serve the king in the future, I hope my king takes care." With that, he slashed the knife horizontally and killed himself on the spot, splashing blood all over the ground.

King Zhou saw it upstairs, screamed, and fainted.

Zhang Shixing hurriedly lucked, stretched out his finger and pointed at his acupoint, King Zhou woke up this time, saw Zhang Shixing in front of him, and beat him, shouting: "Okay, you traitor, return my long history." ”

Zhang Shixing didn't want to entangle with him, so he went downstairs, only to see that the palace guards saw that Wang Han had committed suicide, the dragons were leaderless, and they were besieged, so they threw away all their knives and guns, raised their hands and surrendered.

At this time, a group of imperial court sergeants escorted Zhu Youjia to the front, and as soon as he saw Zhang Shixing, Zhu Youjia immediately weakened his knees, knelt down in front of him, and said that he would spare his life.

Zhang Shixing helped him up and said coldly: "Lord Wang, you are the king of the county, you are noble, noble, and noble, give me a little four-grade thing to kneel, what kind of system will it be?" ”

Zhu Youjia smiled and said: "Zhang Yi acts on behalf of the sky, if the emperor comes in person, Xiao Wang sees the Son of Heaven, how can he not kneel." ”

Zhang Shixing snorted and said, "I'm afraid that the prince really got to see the Son of Heaven, and it's another rhetoric." ”

Zhu Youjiao waved his hand again and again and said: "Zhang Yan misunderstood, Xiao Wang is the first to denounce my father, he has the palace to exceed the system, he has resentment, and he has three major crimes of buying people's hearts. ”

Zhang Shixing rolled up his sleeve, revealing the blood marks on his left arm, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You have to make it clear, otherwise Your Majesty said that I forced a confession from you, and that confession was the only one, then our Jinyiwei brothers can't agree. ”

Niu Er shouted beside him: "Little prince, you must make it clear about this matter, whether you voluntarily sue your father, or our Jinyi Wei tortured to extract a confession, otherwise we will not agree." ”

Zhu Youjia shook his head and said with a smile on his face: "Brothers Jinyiwei, Xiao Wang is really offended today. Today, your brocade guard brothers escorted me out of the house, who knew that just out of the city, on the way to the Wang Han led people to capture, at first I did not tell the truth, who knew that Wang Han used torture on me, I can not be tortured, only nonsense. Everything was done by this Wang Han, and I was also forced to do it, this guy is really hateful. As he spoke, he stepped forward and kicked Wang Han's body a few times with his foot.

Zhang Shixing didn't want him to spoil the corpse of the loyal protector so much, so he grabbed him and said, "Okay, I hope that after the little prince arrives in Beijing, in front of the three law divisions, don't change his words." ”

When Zhu Youjia heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Never change your words." Does Xiao Wang still want to go to Jingshi, and don't you go to Runan to become a vassal? ”

Zhang Shixing said angrily and funny: "The big event here has been decided, of course the prince will return to Beijing with us." Otherwise, how could King Zhou be convicted? ”

Zhu Youjiao was a little remorseful, and asked cautiously: "Xiao Wang is going to Jingshi, Your Majesty will not punish me together, right?" ”

Zhang Shixing patted him lightly on the back and said: "Lord, don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely reward you greatly, King Zhou is Your Majesty's closest relative, Your Majesty has the virtue of a good life, and he will not be cut down at most." ”

Only then did Zhu Youjiao put his mind at ease.

Li Jinglong disbanded more than 9,000 people from the three guards of the palace on the spot and placed them under the command of the Henan Metropolitan Division, leaving another 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison the palace; and dismissed all the slaves and maids of the royal family, and properly placed them by the Henan Political Division; The palace should be seized all the property, and the gold and silver fine and soft loaded into the car and transported to the capital division. After tossing and turning like this for a few days, everything was ready to stop, and Li Jinglong led the army south.

At the same time, Zhang Shixing commanded the captain of Jinyi to escort the children of King Zhou's family to the prisoner car, strictly guarded them, and returned south with Li Jinglong's army.

As soon as the team came out of the south gate of Kaifeng, they saw that the people kneeling on the side of the road were full of people, all burning incense and worshipping, crying: "Virtuous king, virtuous king." Some people also shouted: "Wronged, wronged." ”

When King Zhou saw this scene in the prisoner car, he burst into tears with excitement, and said to the people on both sides of the road: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please hurry up, how can I Zhu Hu, dare to take on this great gift." The sky is above, the sun and the moon can be seen, I Zhu Hu has no rebellion, and justice is in the hearts of the people. ”

Li Jinglong rode on his horse, turned his head to Zhang Shixing behind him, and said: "You said that King Zhou bought people's hearts and plotted against him, so it seems that it is true. I see that this Kaifeng city only knows that there is a king of Zhou, but I don't know that there is a court. ”

Zhang Shixing nodded yes, but his heart was churning, he finally lived a hated kind of person, regardless of right or wrong, whether it was right or wrong, whether it was a standard eagle dog minister, whether it was joy or sorrow, it was really hard to say.
