Chapter 324: Cover-up

Eagle Guard interrogated Sun Zhong overnight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sun Zhong began to grit his teeth and did not admit it at all.

Ren Shinian has a lot of experience in interrogation and knows how to break through people's psychological defenses.

He threw the evidence that the Queen Mother secretly sent someone to deal with his entire family directly in front of Sun Zhong.

Sun Zhong's disbelief at the beginning slowly became like ashes.

The rest is a logical one.

"Loyal? This name was given by you the Queen Mother? The corners of Sun Zhong's mouth twitched, and there was indescribable sarcasm on his face, "Pity me for being loyal all my life, but I ended up ruining my family, Queen Mother, you are really ruthless." ”

The Queen Mother's face kept changing, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, and a little angry, seeing Sun Zhong looking at her, she couldn't help but speak eagerly: "It's no wonder that the mourning family, you really spoil your little nephew too much, just like Mama Qin did to her daughter, or you reminded me yourself, you said that if someone threatens Mama Qin's daughter, Mama Qin will not be able to keep the secret." ”

She paused, and didn't say the rest of the words again, but Sun Zhong already understood what she meant.

Sure enough, everything has a cause and must have an effect.

"It turns out that everything is retribution!" Sun Zhong closed his eyes, and the expression on his face slowly became numb from the anger and ridicule just now.

He was afraid that Mama Qin would remind the Queen Mother to deal with Mama Qin's family because her daughter betrayed the Queen Mother's secret.

The Queen Mother was also afraid that he would not be able to keep secrets because of his family, so she dealt with his family.

Sun Zhong felt like a dead heart for a while.

"The Queen Mother, it's not yours, it's temporary to get it forcibly, it will never become yours." The corners of Sun Zhong's mouth twitched, revealing a meaningful smile, and then his teeth bit his tongue hard.

Bright red blood slowly flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide.

However, Sun Zhong's death did not cause much reaction.

Compared with Sun Zhong's death, the conversation between him and the Queen Mother just now surprised everyone.

The Queen Mother's eagerly justifying the reason for killing Sun Zhong's family is tantamount to admitting that everything Sun Zhong said is true.

If it wasn't true, she wouldn't have to deal with Sun Zhong's family in order to cover up the facts.

When she said those words just now, the emperor had already closed his eyes, knowing that he was no longer able to hide this matter.

It's better not for the Queen Mother to come, it will add to the chaos.

And at this moment, the Queen Mother obviously understood the consequences of what she said just now.

Her back was cold, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Qi Chenjing waved his hand and ordered the Eagle Guard to take Sun Zhong down.

"You must be very clear about what Sun Zhong said just now, the one sitting on the dragon chair now is not the bloodline of my father at all, but the widow of the third young master of the Dong family of Zhenning Marquis, his biological mother is a Lingnan woman Cai Qing, and the Queen Mother got a kind of thing called ' The medicine of the soul, when the queen mother gave birth, the soul was placed in the midwifery medicine, and someone was ordered to set fire, and the queen mother died, and the queen mother did such a heinous thing, and asked the ministers and the clan to testify for the king, and the king wants to seek justice for his father and my mother today. ”

The ministers looked at each other, and Xu Dong and the others, who had been pleading to convict King An just now, shrank back vigorously, wishing that they didn't exist.

The facts are already obvious.

The emperor is not the bloodline of the Qi royal family, so he is naturally not qualified to be the emperor again.

The heir of the former emperor was only King An.

The Queen Mother confused the royal blood and poisoned the Queen Mother and Princess, and King An would not forgive the Queen Mother.

A few old ministers who took the lead and Lao Zongzheng discussed a few words in a low voice.

In the end, Lao Zongzheng came out to speak, "The facts are there, and I also ask the emperor to write an edict of Zen Rang, and King An will ascend the throne as the emperor." ”

didn't mention the Queen Mother, the main thing at present is to correct King An's name first.

He was the only prince of the previous emperor, and he ascended the throne

The queen mother confuses the royal bloodline, after all, it is a matter of royal privacy, and it is not easy for the people to explain it when it is passed out, and it is not good for the reputation of the former emperor, so Lao Zongzheng means that the emperor will directly cede the throne to Qi Chenjing, the king of An.

The reason is also ready-made, the emperor has no children under his knees, and his body is weak.

In this way, King An's ascension to the throne was smoothly completed, and many unnecessary speculations from the outside world were also avoided.

As for how the emperor will deal with it and how the queen mother will be convicted, of course, Qi Chenjing will have the final say after ascending the throne.

"What a calculation!" The emperor, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his eyes and stared at Lao Zongzheng and sneered, "Just based on the confession of a palace maid and a eunuch, I want to convict the Queen Mother and me, I see that you have eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard." ”

He stood up suddenly, slapped the table and shouted, "I don't agree, and I don't allow you to do this, I am the crown prince and heir to the throne that the emperor personally announced to the world, at that time, Qi Chenjing, you don't know where to squat." ”

"It's a joke to say that I am not the blood of the first emperor, and I also say that you are not the blood of the first emperor!"

Qi Chenjing raised his eyebrows, indifferent to his roar, he looked at Lao Zongzheng, "This king doesn't agree with this proposal either. ”

Lao Zongzheng was stunned.

Several old ministers also frowned.

"There must always be a discussion of right and wrong, the royal blood cannot be confused, and the princess cannot be innocently killed, so it is just to let the initiator confess his guilt and correct the name of the deceased." Qi Chenjing said without refusal.

The implication is that the queen mother's crimes and the emperor's life experience, he must be made public.

Lao Zongzheng and the old ministers looked at each other.

"Haha, haha........." The Queen Mother suddenly stood up from her chair, smiled sharply, and staggered down the steps, "The way of justice?" What is the Way of Justice? If he hadn't spoiled that slut wholeheartedly, how could the first child of the mourning family have a miscarriage? If it weren't for a miscarriage, how could the mourning family never get pregnant again? ”

The Queen Mother looked like a madman, staggered and almost fell down the steps.

She rushed forward and pointed at Qi Chenjing, "You talk about justice with the mourning family?" Is it true that your father and mother treat the mourning family fairly? Their feelings are feelings, and the feelings of mourning are not feelings? ”

Qi Chenjing looked at her fixedly, and said word by word: "I don't comment on the matter between my father, my mother and you, but at least my mother has not harmed anyone." ”

"Hehe, harmful!" The Queen Mother seemed to be crying, "Hurting people, is it true that the mourning family was born to want to hurt people?" They forced me, they forced me, if I don't do this, sooner or later there will be no place for me in this great palace, and your mother will replace me sooner or later. ”

Qi Chenjing looked at her coldly and didn't say a word.

Everyone was also a little confused by the Queen Mother's sudden words.

No one paid attention, and the somewhat embarrassed Ding Gang quietly entered the main hall, wearing only the clothes of an ordinary little eunuch, and quietly gestured to the emperor at the door.

Everyone turned their backs to the door, and no one saw them.

The emperor, who was facing the door, looked at it squarely.

His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sit up straight, his fists clenched tightly.

The Queen Mother was still muttering, "But, so what, she still hasn't beaten the Mourning family, the Mourning family is the master of this harem, the Mourning family has been rich and glorious for a lifetime, and she, it is estimated that even the bones are rotten into slag, the Mourning family has enjoyed the glory and wealth of the past twenty years more than her, it is worth it, it is worth it, haha!" Haha"

The Queen Mother laughed loudly and walked out of the hall, as if she had gone crazy.

Everyone was surprised that no one stopped her for a while.

Until she walked out of the hall, the high-pitched and shrill laughter continued.

Qi Chenjing didn't care about the Queen Mother going out.

She couldn't get out of the palace anyway.

Without Sun Zhong, the minions around the Queen Mother would not be able to become a climate.

Lao Zongzheng asked Qi Chenjing, "King An, we all understand what you said as courtiers, but this is .........."

It's just that it's going to be difficult to implement.

The emperor got up from the dragon chair, walked out unhurriedly, looked down at Lao Zongzheng, and snorted coldly, "Lao Zongzheng, you bowed down to Qi Chenjing so quickly, the speed at which you changed your face is really fast." ”

Lao Zongzheng's face froze.

The emperor looked at the others from above, and pointed at the people who had just spoken out to support Qi Chenjing, "You, and you, I have seen it today, this is what you keep saying about loyalty on weekdays, it's really ridiculous." ”

The ministers he ordered lowered their heads, not because of guilt, but because it was really difficult to refute.

There are so many things to go through in one day today.

One moment ago, they kept saying that they supported the emperor and convicted King An, but the next moment they found out that the emperor was not really a royal bloodline, and they turned around to support King An.

Although they felt that they had done nothing wrong, this instant switch was still somewhat contrary to the way of the saints they had been taught.

Lao Zongzheng reversed the stiffness just now, and retorted: "This is so unreasonable, the minister has always been loyal to the orthodoxy of the Liang royal family, and loyal to the Taizu Emperor's hard work, King An is the only prince of the previous emperor, what's wrong with calling him a minister?" ”

He arched his hand to Qi Chenjing, and said: "If you know that you are not the orthodox royal family, you have to bow down to the courtiers, you are disloyal, disloyal to Emperor Taizu, disloyal to the country that the ancestors have worked so hard to build, know your mistakes and change them, what's wrong!" ”

That's right, know what is wrong and change, what's wrong!

The minister, who had bowed his head, puffed up his chest again.

They are right, if they know that they are wrong, and still insist on moving forward, it is against the way of the saints.

The emperor stared at Lao Zongzheng fiercely, "I really underestimated you before, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent, only to be a Zongzheng, I really wronged you!" ”

"Since you keep saying that you are loyal to Emperor Taizu's country, then don't regret it, I hope you can still insist on this loyalty when you meet Emperor Taizu underground!" The emperor glanced at the ministers and sneered back to the back of the dragon case.

What do you mean?

Everyone was confused.

Qi Chenjing's face changed suddenly.

The next moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the main hall, as well as the crisp sound of weapons interfering.

A large number of guards who were also dressed in black instantly poured into the hall, holding long swords, and instantly surrounded the people standing in the hall.

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

"These are the Yan Wei and Shadow Guards trained by me, I don't know how to compare them to your Eagle Guard?" The emperor stroked his wrist with a look of anticipation.

Qi Chenjing frowned.

The emperor smiled, "King An colluded with Lao Zongzheng to rebel, led the Eagle Guard into the palace, killed the ministers who participated in the court meeting and refused to give in, and finally my Yan Wei and Ying Wei fought bloodily to take down King An's party, you say, I told the world this statement, is it appropriate?" ”

Everyone who was surrounded instantly changed color and understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor made it clear that he wanted to catch all of them.

After killing everyone, he announced to the world that King An Qi Chenjing had rebelled, killed all the ministers who participated in the court meeting, and pushed all the charges on King An, and he became a poor emperor who was forced to defend himself and had to kill his younger brother in order to give justice to the courtiers who were also killed.

At that time, all the people in the main hall will be dead, and no one will know everything that happened in the palace, and the identity of the emperor will naturally not be known.

Killing two birds with one stone, what a vicious strategy.

The old ministers who reacted quickly all gasped in their hearts.

And some people who have not fully reacted to the meaning of the emperor's words, such as Xu Dong and others, knelt down and climbed to the bottom of the steps, "Your Majesty, the emperor spares his life, the minister has always been loyal to you, and he has never had two hearts, and please spare the emperor's life, and the minister, the minister is willing to be a witness to King An's rebellion." ”

"Yes, yes, the minister proved that King An rebelled and killed all the adults."

Several people were busy showing their loyalty.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Oh, is it? ”

Xu Dong nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, the minister's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon!" ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, "In that case, you should be the first witness of King An's rebellion." ”

He waved his hand to the shadow guard closest to Xu Dong.

Xu Dong was overjoyed, "Thank you......... The Imperial ........."

Before the words were spoken, I felt a chill in my heart, and a long sword had passed through my chest.

Xu Dong's eyes widened in disbelief, "Your Majesty......... You ........."

The emperor walked into him with his hands behind his back, "Be the first witness to be killed by King An!" ”

Xu Dong's eyes widened violently and he died.

The emperor snorted coldly, and then waved his hand.

Plop, plop, the shadow guards raised their swords and fell, and the ministers who knelt down and begged for mercy just now all fell to the ground in an instant.

How could such a person at both ends of the rat keep a secret for him.

The emperor didn't look at the corpses on the ground.

All those in the temple today must die.

The minister who was surrounded looked at the corpses on the ground, although he did not have a good impression of these people, but he could not help but give birth to a kind of sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, and a chill that gradually rose from his heart.

The emperor turned around mercilessly and ordered, "Kill, leave no one!" ”

The shadow guards stepped forward, the Yan guards guarded the outer layer, and the eagle guards brought by Qi Chenjing greeted them.

The hall was instantly in a mess.

The sound of weapons colliding and crying made the hall suddenly chaotic.

Qi Chenjing still held his hands behind his back and watched as the eagle guards tried their best to protect the safety of the ministers in the palace.

He turned to look at the emperor, "Qi Chenyu, do you think I will enter the palace unprepared?" ”

The emperor raised his head and snorted, "Qi Chenjing, is it only if you are prepared, I will not have a backhand?" (To be continued.) )
