Chapter 124: Stalling for Time

The emperor was so angry that he slammed his fist on the wooden table on the side, and with a "bang" sound, he said:

"How unreasonable! Is the Wan family going to rebel or what, they will do something to the queen, and they don't want to live him. ”

One of the guards said:

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother went to Wanqing's mansion in order to save Qin Meiniang, but I didn't think about it, the prime minister and Wan Qing not only did not obey, but also ambushed a large number of guards inside and outside the house, they disobeyed and used force against the queen's mother, the civil and military officials who faced this face all knew, the Wan family did this, it was really outrageous, bold, and asked the emperor to teach the Wan family a good lesson this time, otherwise, they are really lawless."

The emperor immediately yelled at his father-in-law outside the door:

"Come on, immediately send the general to defend the city and rush to Wanqing's mansion with me, I want to see how lawless this Wan family is, and they dare to rebel and rebel, it's really unbelievable."

Then the father-in-law said loudly:

"Yes, the emperor, the servant will go to the city guard in person to pass the general guarding the city outside the palace, waiting for the emperor to go to Wanqing's mansion with him."

The emperor nodded and said:

"Well, be quick!"

After speaking, the emperor immediately took his Shang Fang sword and hurried to the palace gate.

Seeing this, several guards immediately followed the emperor.

In a short time, the father-in-law summoned the general to the gate of the palace, and he rode a horse, dressed in armor, and was imposing, followed by a long line of soldiers.

The emperor soon rode to the gate of the palace.

When the general defending the city saw the emperor riding over, he immediately hugged his fist at the emperor and said:

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor said seriously:

"The general is exempt, I came to you today, there is an important matter, the Wan family wants to rebel, and they also use force against the queen, I am now going to go to Wan Qing's mansion in person, and arrest all the Wan family, you have to cheer up and make meritorious contributions to me."

The general defending the city said calmly:

"Your Majesty, the last general must do his best to serve the emperor, why did the Wan family suddenly think about rebellion, the prime minister has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, if the Wan family really wants to rebel, then the emperor still needs to gather soldiers and horses as soon as possible, if you fall like this, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, please don't go to the emperor, the last general is willing to go, and the queen mother must be rescued, and the emperor will not go in person!"

The emperor clenched the Shang Fang sword in his hand and said angrily:

"Humph! All the families dare to call at me so blatantly, how can I sit idly by, I must go in person and ask the prime minister, what he thinks, if he wants to rebel, then I will personally correct him on the spot first, lest he come to his senses in the future, and if he comes to Yin, it will leave a very big hidden danger to the Jiangshan Sheji of Jinfeng Kingdom. ”

When the general guarding the city saw that the emperor insisted on going to Wanqing Mansion in person to arrest the Wan family, he had no choice but to hold his fists and say:

"Yes, since the emperor has decided to personally lead his troops to arrest the people of the Wan family, then he will definitely swear to protect the emperor's safety."

The emperor nodded and said:

"Well, without further ado, let's hurry up and go to Wanqing Mansion."

The general defending the city said seriously:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After speaking, the emperor immediately turned the horse's head and rode in the direction of Wanqing Mansion.

Seeing this, the general guarding the city did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed the emperor quickly, and a large number of soldiers behind him also ran quickly in the direction of Wanqing's mansion, and the whole scene was extremely tense.

Wan Qing's mansion was still nervous and cold.

万金宝 Chong Queen Mother said:

"Niangniang, now that Qin Meiniang has spoken, she is willing to marry my son, don't think about breaking them up anymore, although you are the queen, but you can't be unreasonable and lawless! What is your relationship with this Qin Meiniang? Are you desperate to save her and protect her? ”

Queen Mother says:

"Prime Minister, you don't talk nonsense, today you dare to use force against me, this clearly shows that you want to rebel, let me tell you, the emperor will know about this matter sooner or later, even if I can't help you today, but your good days will come to an end, if you don't let go of Qin Meiniang today, then I won't leave, if you really kill me, your family will definitely give me a funeral, so I'm not afraid, it's useless for you to persecute Qin Meiniang, the reason why Qin Meiniang said that she voluntarily wanted to marry Wan Qing as his concubine, That's because she didn't want us to be hurt, she was forced to say this in desperation, do you really think that's her voice? ”

Qin Meiniang was already crying on the side.

Liu Feng also looked lost and depressed.

The county lord sighed and said:

"Prime Minister, since you have made such a big fuss, it is better to calm down now and talk about the conditions!"

Wan Jinbao laughed twice and said:

"Talk about conditions, what are you, you talk to me about conditions, and you don't look in the mirror to see what you look like, are you worthy?"

The queen looked at the county lord and said:

"Lord County, what conditions do you want to negotiate with the prime minister?"

The county lord looked at the queen and said with a look of grievance:

"Hui Niangniang, how can the lower officials be qualified to talk to the prime minister! In fact, the lower official wanted to negotiate the conditions with the prime minister with the queen's mother. ”

The Queen asked:

"Tell me about it, is it possible?"

The county lord leaned into the ear of the queen mother and whispered:

"Niangniang, it is estimated that a few guards sent out have already gone to the palace to find the emperor to report the matter here, and the emperor will definitely personally drop the soldiers to come here to save us in the future, so let's find a way to deal with the prime minister first, try to delay the time, as long as the emperor arrives, the prime minister will naturally be weak-minded, and they will not dare not let go of Qin Meiniang at that time, so this condition will be negotiated with the prime minister by the subordinate instead of Niangniang."

The queen nodded to the county lord.

Seeing this, Wan Qing yelled at the queen mother and the county lord:

"Do you want to play any tricks, I tell you, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise, I will have my guards drive you all out of the house."

The county lord smiled and said:

"Young Master Wan, don't get excited, things are already deadlocked, the queen mother said, she can open the net for today's affairs, and don't hold the people of your family accountable, as long as you release Qin Meiniang immediately, and go back to the palace to meet the emperor together, as long as your ten thousand families voluntarily hand over the military power in their hands, then today's affairs The queen mother can treat as if nothing happened, and will intercede for your ten thousand families in front of the emperor, what do you think?"

Wan Jinbao was stunned and said:

"What! If you want us to let Qin Meiniang go, and hand over the military power in your hand, this, how is this possible, now you are the loser, why are you with our family, this is an impossible thing, I will never agree, don't even think about it, even if the emperor comes today, I still don't dare to do anything to me, my son and Qin Meiniang are married, whatever is about you, you are here to make trouble, and you want to take Qin Meiniang away, this is not clear about robbing people! So, it's the queen mother, you are wrong first, what do you have to do with my family? ”

The county lord then said:

"Prime Minister, this is wrong, what you do today, that is rebellion, this since ancient times, how can any prime minister dare to be disrespectful to the queen, not to mention that you also let your guards use force against the queen, your behavior is serious, if it spreads, the reputation of your family will stink, besides, you rely on the tens of thousands of troops in your hands, want to fight against the royal family, you must know that you are doing this is a big rebellion, you are digging your own grave, you will not have a good end, those who know the times are Junjie, If you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes and hand over the military power in your hands, let me ask, does the emperor dare to let you continue to be the prime minister of this Golden Phoenix Kingdom? ”

万金宝 says:

"Since I dare to do this today, I am not afraid that the emperor will blame me for this, besides, today's matter, if it weren't for the queen's hard work, how could I use force against you, so I can't blame me for this matter today."

The county lord said seriously:

"Prime Minister, you yourself disobeyed the holy decree, you are guilty of deceit! It is a capital offense. ”

Wan Jinbao smiled and said:

"Even if it's a holy decree, then it has to be reasonable, it's not about the law, Qin Meiniang was originally willing to marry my son, and she wanted to be his concubine, how could she become a forced marriage, from this point of view, this holy decree is not about human feelings, it is deliberately difficult."

Queen Mother says:

"Prime minister, don't talk nonsense here, Qin Meiniang was quietly arrested by your Wan family before, and then I don't know what spell she used by you, so she saw Wan Qing as Liu Feng, so she was confused and became a relative to Wan Qing, you are clearly framing and persecuting, bullying Qin Meiniang, and now that the matter has been revealed, she is still arguing here, saying that Qin Meiniang and Wan Qing became married was her willing, isn't this nonsense!"

Wan Qing grabbed Qin Meiniang in his hand and threatened:

"You hurry up and tell the queen that you are willing to marry me, and no one in our family forces you to leave quickly, otherwise, I will immediately let my guards do something to them, if you don't want your Liu Feng to die, then hurry up and do what I say, otherwise, there will be your good fruit to eat."

After finishing speaking, Wan Qing rushed to the guard on the side and said:

"You go, arrest Liu Feng for me."

Several guards immediately approached Liu Feng's side.

Seeing this, Qin Meiniang's heart was full of entanglement and said:

"Wan Qing, what are you going to do? Don't hurt Liu Feng. ”

Wan Qing was full of excitement and said:

"Then you hurry up and let the queen mother get out of here, don't continue to toss around in my mansion, I hate her to death."

Qin Meiniang didn't have a point, looked at the queen and said:

"Queen Mother, you just take your people and leave quickly, Wan Qing and I have already married in the church, I am already his woman, thank you for always being kind to me, I beg you to leave quickly."
