Chapter 117: The Emperor Arrives
"Your Majesty? Great."
Ye Cheng turned his head happily, he didn't know why the emperor suddenly appeared here, but it helped him a lot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe three princes will not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and the conflict can be stopped temporarily.
The value-added soldiers stopped tightening the encirclement, and in the middle of the crescent encirclement, the soldiers with their backs to the door slowly moved out of the way.
The third prince stood in front of the soldier humane, with an angry and corrupt expression, staring at Ye Cheng with a pair of eyes, completely lacking the evil smug smile just now.
Looking out of the door, the emperor in a yellow cloak walked slowly under the support of a eunuch. On the left hand side of the emperor followed another eunuch, who held a large umbrella high and blocked the snow in the air from falling on the emperor.
The emperor was helped into the room, and the soldiers slowly knelt down and bowed their heads, and the iron armor on their bodies made a "Titicaca" friction and collision sound.
In addition to the sound of Titicaca, Ye Cheng also accidentally heard the sound of "brushing", which was the same as the sound in the main hall before. He immediately understood that it was impossible for the emperor to leave the palace with only two eunuchs. The quick-added soldiers protecting the emperor had already entered the room, but they were moving fast, and Ye Cheng couldn't see it at all.
looked at the emperor with a nervous expression, and the emperor walked through the humanity and just arrived at the third prince's side.
The third prince showed a far-fetched smile, turned to face the emperor, and said respectfully, "Father, why are you here?" ”
The emperor ignored the greetings of the three princes, but slowly took off his cloak, and then stood alone. The emperor's wide dragon robe is very eye-catching, and there are nine dragon patterns embroidered on it with dull gold wire, and the dragon patterns soar in the clouds, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
The emperor glanced at Wan Haokong, who was lying on the ground, and then said in a slightly reproachful tone, "What are you doing here?" Xiuwen Yuan is the prince's place, you bring so many soldiers, do you want to force the palace? ”
The third prince suddenly knelt on the ground in a panic, "Father, the sons don't dare"
"Then don't retreat," said the emperor.
"Yes," the third prince turned his head in a panic to look at the hundreds of value-added soldiers kneeling on the ground, and shouted, "Stand down"
Suddenly, the sound of metal armor colliding neatly sounded, and the soldiers stood up and walked out of the room slowly.
"Crown Prince," the emperor continued.
The crown prince immediately greeted him, walked up to the emperor, bowed down and said respectfully, "Father"
"You have a meritorious service in capturing Wan Haokong, and I will officially pass on to you at the Xiao Wang Festival," the emperor said.
Suddenly, the third prince hurriedly said, "Father, eldest brother, he is the mastermind of the Lei Killing Army, he has no eyes on the legal system of the country, so father, you can't pass the throne to the eldest brother."
After hearing this, the emperor looked at the prince with a straight face, and said sternly, "Prince, what Xiao Heng said is the truth."
The prince bowed his head and was silent, his face a little panicked.
At this time, the dean stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the prince has been wronged in this matter." The third prince arrested a junior cultivator and tortured him to extract a confession, and the cultivator couldn't stand the pain, so he was forced to testify against the prince."
Ye Cheng was a little surprised! In front of the emperor, the dean denied everything. But these were all expected by him, and the unexpected person should be the third prince.
When the third prince heard this, he immediately stood up and yelled at the dean, "Academician Dusk, you are talking nonsense! ”
The dean's face did not change, and he guided the emperor to look at Xiao An's younger brother who was being grabbed by two value-added soldiers next to him, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the cultivator who was tortured by the three princes to extract a confession."
The emperor stared at Xiao An's younger brother for a long time, and then said, "Forget it, this matter will end here, investigate the matter of Lei Jijun and wait for the crown prince to inherit the throne, and then the prince will complete it himself."
"Father..... the emperor" The third prince still wanted to continue arguing, and said anxiously.
Before the third prince finished speaking, the emperor turned his head and glared at him, and said sternly, "Don't you even listen to my words?" ”
The third prince immediately settled down, but his expression was still a little unconvinced, but in the face of the stern emperor, he could only say in a calm tone, "Erchen doesn't dare"
"Dusk Fu, this year's King Xiao Festival is still up to you, so prepare well. Come on, arrest Wan Haokong to me," the emperor said.
"Brush" Suddenly, two value-added soldiers wearing iron armor flashed beside Wan Haokong. Then the two soldiers lifted Wan Haokong up and brought it to the emperor.
Seeing Wan Haokong being taken away, Ye Cheng was anxious. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, the emperor appeared here to stop the three princes, but Concubine Zhao had something. Turning his head to look behind the bandits, he saw Concubine Zhao hiding among the bandits, and it was not easy to find it for the time being.
Even so, Ye Cheng was still very worried, because Wan Haokong knew that Concubine Zhao was here, and if he told the emperor about this, Concubine Zhao would have to return to that deep palace.
"It seems that the emperor's sudden appearance here is not a good thing," Ye Cheng muttered in his heart.
"Father"
"Father"
Just when Wan Haokong was brought to the emperor, the crown prince and the third prince said anxiously to the emperor at the same time. The two of them were also surprised, and raised their heads to look at each other.
"You two brothers still have something to do, go back to the palace and talk about it" The emperor stared at Wan Haokong, and asked in a stern tone, "Where is my Concubine Zhao?" Where did you get her? ”
"Hmm," Wan Haokong squeaked.
Seeing that the cloth blocking Wan Hao's empty mouth was about to be torn off, the speed of Ye Cheng's heartbeat was increasing little by little, and he could even hear the frequency of beating. His feet moved towards Wan Haokong little by little, and if Wan Haokong said the word Concubine Zhao, he immediately rushed over to stop it.
One of the soldiers got permission from the emperor and pulled the cloth off Wan Hao's empty mouth.
Wan Haokong looked up to the sky as if relieved, gasped, and then shouted at the emperor, "If you want to find her, you will find her in hell, haha"
Ye Cheng was surprised! Wan Haokong would say this, completely unexpectedly. Although he didn't know why Wan Haokong chose to defend Concubine Zhao at this time, his nervousness for Concubine Zhao eased up.
The emperor was not angered by Wan Haokong's words at all, and said calmly, "Pull him out and cut him off."
"Yes" The two soldiers carrying Wan Haokong were about to go to the door.
"Your Majesty" Dean stopped at this time, and then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, a thousand cultivators have been found, and they are in the star space, we need Wan Haokong to release everyone, so we can't kill him yet."
"Sure enough, it's inside, no wonder you haven't been able to find it," the emperor said.
"This is thanks to this young man" The dean turned around, pointed at Ye Cheng and continued, "Wan Haokong and the thousand cultivators were all found by him, if he hadn't found Wan Haokong, Lao Chen wouldn't have known where to find someone who could use the stars."
Hearing this, the emperor seemed to be a little displeased, and looked at him with a straight face.
Ye Cheng suddenly became nervous again, the emperor thought that the credit belonged to the crown prince, but now that the dean said so, all the credit was pushed to him. Ye Cheng knew that few of the courtiers who had high merit in history had a good end.
Ye Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "What the dean said is not true, in fact, I was able to catch Wan Haokong this time, thanks to the prince, if he hadn't found all the information about Wan Haokong, I wouldn't have been able to catch him." So the biggest credit is still the prince's."
Ye Cheng lowered his head, he couldn't hear the emperor's words for a long time, and he was a little nervous. He knew that such an explanation was far-fetched, but he couldn't think of a better reason for it for the time being.
Slowly raised his head, wanting to see the emperor's expression at this moment.
"Let go of me, you beast" Suddenly, a woman's cry came from behind.
