Chapter 261: The Battle for Military Power

I saw that he trembled and stamped the seal, and although he tried his best to stabilize his hand, he could still see that it was a little difficult.

Xia Li took the piece of paper and put it in front of the emperor, and after comparison, it was different from the letter sent by Dali Temple.

"Call the people from Dali Temple." The emperor said angrily.

Liu Yuanqing stepped forward in fright, and knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, Weichen is derelict in his duties, please forgive the emperor." ”

Not long ago, he had just been transferred from the household servant to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and now there is such a thing, which makes his face where to put it, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the official hat will be lost.

"Say, where did those letters come from, why didn't you scrutinize them carefully?" He asked sharply.

"Back to the emperor, those letters suddenly appeared at the door of Dali Temple, at that time the minister thought that someone was playing a prank, but after careful comparison of the handwriting, it was found that it was indeed from the same person's hand, as for the seal that the regent princess said, this, this subordinate really did not see. ”

When he said this, he was a little weak-hearted, because after he got the letter, he didn't compare it carefully at all, so he sent it to the emperor without stopping.

After listening to his explanation, Gu Yuanzhen did not speak, and what he said was not completely unreasonable, if Bai Xiyue hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have found this problem.

At this stalemate, one of them hurriedly ran over from the outside, went straight to Wei Qing, whispered a few words in his ear and retreated.

Wei Qing's expression was solemn, but he still had to say it, "Emperor Qi, the murderers of those assassins in the day have been found, but now they are all dead, and none of them are alive." ”

"Bring it with you and have the doctor look it up." He commanded.

Wei Qing nodded, beckoned someone to lift the corpse up, the lower half of the corpse had been burned beyond recognition, and there was a burst of scorching smell, and the people present couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw it.

"What's going on?" The emperor frowned, pointed to the corpse and said.

"Back to the emperor, when the minister's subordinates arrived with people, there was a group of masked men in black who were burning these corpses, just this one, or desperately snatched down, but they couldn't catch those men in black, I think they must be the black hands behind these assassins."

Wei Qing said in a fifteen-10 manner, this person was sent by the regent, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward, and it was difficult for him to tell his identity directly.

"Doctor Liu, you come over to check and check to see if there is anything strange about this corpse." The emperor's face was heavy, if it was really as Wei Qing said, someone in this Yuancheng wanted to put him to death, and he didn't even know anything.

After Dr. Liu finished the salute, he stepped forward to check the corpse, Bai Xiyue stood beside him, and also kept observing, this person was still wearing the armor of the Wei Jiajun during the day, the corners of his mouth were bleeding black and red, his face was blue, and even his hands began to turn black, as for the burnt place, it was not clear to see, as far as the current situation is concerned, it should have died of poisoning.

"Back to the emperor, this assassin died of poisoning." After a cursory look, Dr. Liu came to this conclusion.

The emperor did not speak, even if the assassin died of poisoning, it could not explain anything, and it was very likely that the Wei family did it himself.

But this letter happened to get rid of their suspicion, and for a time it was a dilemma.

"Go back to the palace!" As soon as he gave the order, the Imperial Forest Army was closed.

After a large number of troops left, Wei Qing looked in the direction of the palace with a worried face, "Princess, what do you mean by the emperor, will he let my sister go?" ”

Bai Xiyue shook her head, she always felt that something was wrong, as if someone wanted the Wei family to suffer, but she was helping her.

General Wei came out of the house and said slowly, "The emperor has doubts in his heart, even if he is not from the Wei family this time, I am afraid he will not have a little trust." ”

"In the final analysis, it's always for this military power, that's it, tomorrow I will personally send the military talisman over, and replace your sister back, without the military power, those people in the dark will not stare at us. ”

After he finished speaking, he sighed and went into the house.

"General Wei, I should go back too, don't worry too much, the prince over there in the palace has already sent someone to pay attention, and it will be fine." ”

Wei Qing nodded and personally sent her back.

Gu Yichen sat in the hall and waited for her to come back, and as soon as he saw her figure, he immediately stood up and looked around to see if she was injured.

"Lord Wang, General Wei has decided to hand over his military power and save Wei Wan back." Bai Xiyue's tone was a little heavy, he could feel Wei Lin's helplessness, his whole life was dedicated to the Tianyuan Kingdom, but when he was old, he ended up like this, which couldn't help but make people feel a little embarrassed.

"Hand over the power!" Gu Yichen frowned, "Yue'er, you're tired too, go and rest, I'll be fine here." ”

She nodded, didn't speak again, and Bai Tao and Bai Shuang went back to the Listening Rain Pavilion with her.

Gu Yichen called Dark Six over, "I heard what I said just now, go and quietly leak this news to the second prince, he will definitely not sit still." ”

"Yes!"

On the other side, the second prince was in a hurry, the letter had been sent for so long, but he still didn't get any news, and he walked around the house in a hurry.

At this time, Yusheng came over in a panic, "Second prince, the emperor has returned to the palace." ”

"What! Is the news reliable, the evidence is conclusive Why haven't you disposed of the Wei family yet. "The emperor will not be such a person, he has always been very suspicious, and it is impossible not to deal with it in the face of evidence.

Yusheng hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's the princess regent, she found out that the letter was fake, and she also took away the body of an assassin, the emperor just let me go of the Wei family, second prince, you quickly think of a way, and then investigate, it is very likely that we will be exposed." ”

He was just about to say something, when another guard hurriedly walked over again, "Second prince, the people who are ambushed in the Wei family have found out the news, and General Wei is ready to hand over the military power tomorrow." ”

"Enter the palace!"

Gu Jiuxiao rushed to the palace in a hurry, the emperor was already ready to sleep, he insisted on kneeling at the door, he had to see him.

Yumeiren was changing the emperor's clothes, and when she heard the voice outside the door, she advised: "Your Majesty, the second prince came late at night to have something important, so you might as well meet him." ”

"I want to see him, but I can't go to see him immediately, I should hang him for a while to let him know that there are rules in this palace." The emperor said calmly, the second prince's personality is too persistent, sometimes it will bring him some unnecessary trouble, and today's incident also makes him understand what to do when to do.

"Yes, the concubine understands." Yu Meiren didn't say anything more, but her face was relieved.

Outside the palace!

"Lord, the emperor saw the second prince, the two didn't know what to say, and they ordered Wei Wan to come out on the spot, and at this moment Wei Qing had already entered the palace to pick up people. "Dark Six rushed back as soon as he got the news.

Gu Yichen frowned, how could he let go, how could the second prince agree to let Wei Wan out, so that he wouldn't have tossed in vain.

"This king knows, let the people who monitor the second prince be careful and don't be discovered." He commanded.

"Yes!"

According to the emperor's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to let go of the Wei family so easily, even if there is no sufficient evidence, but with such a sign, he will guard against the Wei family's military power, but once the old general Wei hands over the military power, they are like fish and meat on the board, let others slaughter.

In the palace!

Wei Wan was released from the prison, including the Wei family army who was arrested together.

The second prince waited at the prison gate, and when he saw her come out, he immediately withdrew everyone.

"This prince has something to say to Miss Wei, you go down first."

"Yes!"

When there were only two people left, Wei Wan looked at him vigilantly, "If the second prince has anything to say, let's do it as soon as possible." ”

He smiled unwillingly, and said meaningfully: "Miss Wei, do you really think that you are safe when you get out of this prison, the emperor's mood is uncertain, and his mind is uncertain, and it may not be a good thing for him to let you out." ”

Wei Wan raised his head violently, with a puzzled expression, "What does the second prince mean by this, the assassin has nothing to do with the Wei family, and we have never thought of betraying the emperor, since I can be released, it means that the innocence of the Wei family has been proven, what do you say." ”

The second prince smiled mockingly, "You are really naΓ―ve," he slowly approached, and said softly: "Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, and the reason why the emperor is tolerant of your family is all because General Wei Lao holds military power, but if you lose military power, what will happen to you." ”

After speaking, he slowly stepped back and returned to his normal voice, "Okay, that's all the prince has to say, I believe that Miss Wei is a smart person and should know how to do it." ”

"Come on, send Miss Wei out."

"Yes!"

Wei Wan followed them to the gate of the palace, Wei Qing was waiting there, before she got into the carriage, she happened to see the carriage of the second prince, the two looked at each other, tacitly.

Yusheng looked at the departing carriage and worried, "Second prince, is this really feasible, if they still take out the military power tomorrow, then we will fall short." ”

Originally, the plan was perfect, but they underestimated the strength of the Wei family.

"What are you afraid of, Wei Wan has already understood what I mean, she now thinks that the emperor will let her out for the sake of military power, which is equivalent to a life amulet, do you think she will let General Wei hand over military power." ”

Gu Jiuxiao knew that she couldn't control the emperor, but no matter how powerful Wei Wan was, she was just a girl, she didn't have such a big pattern and knowledge, even if she did, she would care about it in front of her relatives.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't believe what he said, but decided to let Wei Wan go, otherwise, they would have been separated at this moment and the emperor's forces would have been cut off.
