Chapter Forty-Seven: Being tricked, the Long family is in trouble
The silent hall did not look like a court hall at all, and everyone retreated with great interest.
In Ximan, the discord between King Sheng and the emperor is already a well-known thing. King Sheng will rebel sooner or later, which is also a prediction that the important ministers of the court know well.
It's just that now watching the fire from the other side, it's hard to say who is better this emperor or King Sheng.
Let's not say that King Sheng is the emperor's uncle, King Sheng is holding a military talisman of 100,000 soldiers and horses, coupled with his scheming and cunning wolf-like temperament, it is enough for the new emperor to eat a pot.
Besides, the new emperor is fighting Ge, a rising star, who has been pretending to be stupid and stunned before, in order to avoid the limelight of the prince's battle against the Qingmu clan.
However, since the beating of the Holy King has been aggressive, the emperor seems to have returned to before the rebellion, and has become cowardly, forbearing, and looking like a good gentleman.
This situation had to make some courtiers sigh, and they all started to protect their official hats.
"Tsk, this Xiban has really become messy ......enough," Ling Huxian on the roof sighed, "Just that Sheng Wang Wanjie knew at a glance that he was not a good bird," "I'm afraid that Zhan Ge's mind is not above the court," Xuanyuan Che paid attention to the court below, and spit out a sentence for a while. "You're kidding me? His mind is not in the imperial court, and he has spent so much time looking for me to help get rid of the power of the princelings......" Ling Huxian said, and she was also stunned, "Good guy...... This guy is selfish enough......"
Xuanyuan Che chuckled at her sluggishness and sloppiness......
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Above the court, all the ministers worshipped.
"Aiqing is exempt from courtesy." Zhan Ge's cynical voice came, causing the little girl on the roof to pout for a while, and her face was full of hatred. "Take the highest right of a country to protect yourself and your mother, tsk, it's really a clever move, and it is worthy of being a person with the blood of the Long family."
Xuanyuan Che listened to this complaint, and held back a smile, "Bai Blind tried his best to help him get to the top at the beginning......"
"Oh? What is Uncle Huang's complaint? On the dragon chair, Zhan Ge raised his eyebrows in surprise, when did their imperial uncle, who had a tiger in his heart, also have a complaint to file?
As soon as she heard that the point was coming, Ling Huxian immediately came to her senses, pushed Xuanyuan Che away, and her eyes were blazing: "A good show is about to be staged!"
Above the court, Wan Jie stood up and did not kneel and said indignantly, "The minister's mansion was attacked by assassins last night, and the minister was almost stabbed by those assassins, but fortunately, the guards came in time, and the minister was able to capture the two assassins. ”
What Yu Wanjie said was very sincere, which shocked Zhan Ge.
…… It can't be that those two ancestors were arrested......
"Ahem, what Prince Sheng said is reasonable, where are those two assassins?" He steadied his mind and asked in a raised voice, and Wan Jie waved his arm: "Bring it up!"
On the roof, Xuanyuan Che helplessly hugged Ling Huxian, who had been provoked by his own brain, and laughed together......
Outside the palace gate, the four palace guards each escorted two unkempt men in......
"The emperor forgives the sin! I don't know anything! ”
When the rags in their mouths were removed, the two of them took the initiative to kneel down and beg for mercy as soon as they entered the main hall......
When Zhan Zhan Ge saw it, he was happy, and when he looked at it again, Wan Wanjie's face turned blue.
Someone in the courtiers' queue peeked at the so-called thief twice, covered his mouth and snickered.
Look at the two people again, just like the people caught last night, unkempt and bloodstained, it was a miserable one. It's just that this face is raised, no matter how dirty it is, it can still be recognized......
"Ahem, Du Hu and Yin Da, can you two be guilty?" The Emperor asked in a solemn voice, "Emperor...... Emperor...... The minister doesn't know anything, Wow Emperor! The two of them shook their bodies and kowtowed.
"Sophistry! Prince Sheng insisted that it was you who assassinated my courtiers, and that dog dared to enter King Sheng's mansion and wanted to assassinate the prince! Damn it! Zhan Ge didn't give these two a chance to plead, and directly buckled his hat on Wan Jie's head.
The courtiers and the people on the top of the main hall trembled with laughter, obediently, everyone knows that in the capital, King Sheng's right-hand man is Du Hu and Yin Da, and this time it can be said that he lifted a stone and hit his own feet......
"Zhan Ge has entered the play, hahaha, the children can be taught, the children can be taught!"
“…… You little girl...... Xuanyuan Che helplessly protected her to prevent her from falling off the roof, this little girl really has more ghost ideas than ghosts......
Yu Wanjie clenched his fists, the two assassins he captured last night were not these two people, and after thinking about it again, he realized that he had been designed......
"The emperor ......" he tried to save the two again.
"Lord Sheng doesn't need to say much, I know that you are very wronged, I will definitely deal with it impartially and punish these two traitors who have committed the most heinous crimes!" He said these righteous words without smiling, which made Wan Jie almost vomit out old blood.
…… Is he wronged? He's wronged! I didn't expect this yellow-haired boy to be so insidious and cunning!
"Come on, pull these two traitors down, and behead them at noon to show the public!"
Wanjie blushed and watched the two of them begging him for help in a miserable manner, being pulled down by the emperor's Praetorian Guards, gritting his teeth. The Emperor was secretly observing him, and the corners of his lips curled into a wicked smile.
"Ness~ Everything is going according to plan!" Ling Huxian's eyes were like foxes, watching the two of them being pulled out and still unsatisfied, she was extremely excited to be proud in Xuanyuan Che's arms.
Xuanyuan Che carefully protected her from falling, quite helpless: "Can you be honest for a while?"
"Let's go, there's almost nothing to see, go and wait in the emperor's study." She stood up and patted the dust on her clothes, and pulled Xuanyuan Che into the deep palace.
Zhan Ge propped his head and looked at King Sheng, who had been silent, it seemed that there were some things he should have done, otherwise he would have lost such a big gift in vain.
As soon as the emperor returned to his own study...... It's messy......
Who can tell him what happened in such a messy study?
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked someone to give a message, please come over for breakfast......" The little eunuch who walked in behind him saw this tragic situation, his legs trembled with fright, and he said tremblingly.
Shouning Palace is harmonious, and the Queen Mother Long Xiaoning rarely laughs so happily, and she actually served a dish for a girl for the first time. Zhan Zhanying pouted dissatisfiedly: "Queen Mother, you haven't served vegetables for others......" "Yo, how old are you, and you still want the queen mother to serve you vegetables?" Long Xiaoning pretended to be annoyed and glared softly, making Hu Xian smile slightly, pick up the dishes in the bowl and put them in her mouth.
"How is it, Xian girl, Ximan's meal is still appetizing, right?"
"Very good, thank you Queen Mother for your concern." She put down her chopsticks and replied politely. "Huh? Why do you still shout about the Queen Mother? Long Xiaoning smiled and tapped Ling Huxian's forehead, Xuanyuan Che didn't come with her, I heard that he went to deal with the business of the ghost witch in Ximan.
"Oops, Queen Mother~" she grimaced and shouted with a smile. "Hey, that's right, the mourning family has such a smart daughter!"
In front of Shouning Palace, the visitor heard the mother's unladylike laughter, and shook his head helplessly. "The emperor has arrived!" The little eunuch who was rumored to be sent down by him waved his hand before he opened his throat, not only that, but all the guards were also outside the main hall, he knew that after entering Shouning Palace, let alone letting those women salute him, he would already be Amitabha Buddha if he was not disgusted and died......
"Yo, the emperor is here," Zhan Zhanying picked up the dishes, lazily giving his brother half a look, "Xiuzhi, move a bench for the emperor." The queen mother's eyes didn't take her eyes off the goddaughter, she spoke directly, and asked the palace maid to move a bench and invite the emperor to sit at the table......
Ling Hu Xian's evil eyes glanced at Zhan Ge's accustomed appearance, and shook his head sympathetically.
"I wonder if the Xiban Emperor can prepare to deal with Prince Sheng's 100,000 soldiers and horses?" Zhan Ge's hand holding chopsticks paused, "I thought that Princess Longxian would solve everything," his smug smile provoked a burst of contempt from his sister, "The 50,000 elite soldiers you ambushed in the Xiban Capital, as well as the 30,000 cavalry placed in Gyeonggi, have raised these troops in the past few days, it's not bad." It's just that in the next second, Linghu Xian, who was deep in everything, all came out bald.
"But who would have thought that as soon as I went to the morning court today, His Highness gave me a big gift?" Zhan Zhan Ge didn't know if this gift was good or bad, anyway, he knew that Wan Jie's rebellion was imminent......
After breakfast, Shouning Palace finally fell into silence, leaving only two people in the room to discuss important matters.
"Sit down," the warm sun outside hung in the southern sky, Long Xiaoning caressed the tea cup, and looked at Ling Huxian generously sitting on the guest seat with a kind face.
"Hui Yu, let people guard Shouning Palace." She spoke softly, and there were people from Black Eagle Cliff sneaking in the dark. Ling Huxian held up the cup, "What the queen mother wants to say may be what Xian'er is curious about," that girl, dressed in a water-blue Western barbarian national robe, with black hair scattered around her waist, and the blue gems on her forehead sparkling, such a brave and resourceful talent, but a person who will go toe-to-toe with her own family.
"The descendants of the Xiaozi generation, only the elder brother of the mourning family, Long Xiaoan, the elder brother of the mourning family and the concubine Long Xiaotian, and Long Moyun's child is the son of the eldest brother of the mourning family......" Long Xiaoning's face was inexplicably sentimental, recalling everything he had experienced in those years.
"The mourning family knows that the ancestors of the Long family have been planning for this world for nearly a hundred years, but when the eldest brother inherited the position of patriarch, he knew what he was going to do and what he had to do, so he decided to give up. The eldest brother is such a gentle and loving person...... How could he allow the world to fall into trouble because of his own trouble...... "Those old eyes slowly filled with tears, "But for some reason, the second brother knows all this, he is such an ambitious person, he can do whatever it takes to get what he wants...... He killed the eldest brother and killed the eldest brother's family...... At that time, Mo Yun was only three years old! Her tears flowed unconsciously, unconsciously recalling, these past events were like re-peeling off her scars...... "He robbed Mo Yun and raised the child to be a strategist who paved the way for his ambitions...... He...... He's changed ......"
As if she had seen the bloody changes of the Long family again, a proud and dignified old woman covered her face and sobbed, making the fox soothe and gently put down the teacup.
She still knew that Long Xiaoning had no choice but to escape from the Long family because Long Xiaotian wanted to forcibly marry her to the patriarch of the Wang clan like the Long family as a concubine in order to win her over...... and swore to be the enemy of Long Xiaotian from then on......
"That'...... Long Moyun's Gu technique, so he ...... It was the young patriarch of the Wuma family back then, Wuma Moyun. ”
