Chapter 226: The Emperor Is Caught
The emperor whispered a few words in the eunuch's ear, and the eunuch looked at him suspiciously, and the emperor scolded sharply: "Go quickly, this is the only way to stop him now." ”
"Yes. The eunuch finally answered, quietly retreated, and then went to find Zhong Jingsong.
At that time, Zhong Jingsong was about to leave, the emperor was not a good emperor, but Lu Yuanbai was not a good person either, he was really tired during the years in Beijing, and he hadn't seen the big Chu rivers and mountains in detail.
If the rest of her life is gone, she will travel all over the rivers and lakes with wind and rain as a companion, go to see the mountains and rivers and lands she once guarded, and try the life she once lived.
He took out a horse, not wearing a riding costume, and saw the eunuch next to the emperor coming from a distance, and vaguely felt that it was not a good thing in his heart.
"Where do you want to go, Lord Zhong?" asked the eunuch with a flattering smile, the smile was very fake, and the clues could be seen at a glance.
Zhong Jingsong made a move in his hand, and said lukewarmly: "Go and ask the emperor to resign, and no longer interfere in the affairs of the court." ”
"This is a coincidence, the emperor also wants to see you, if you don't go over, someone will suffer, the fourth prince is still ......" The eunuch deliberately did not finish speaking.
The first reaction in Zhong Jingsong's mind was that Chi Yingchu fled back to Lu Yuanbai, but he was not protected by him and fell into the hands of the emperor, and now he has become a threat.
"Take me there now. In a panic, he threw off the reins and strode away with the eunuch.
Walking to the gate of Shangjing, he suddenly stopped, and realized that something was wrong, if Chi Yingchu was in the hands of the emperor, he would not be able to change anything in the past.
What did the emperor mean? He seemed to be getting more and more incomprehensible, and when the eunuch saw him stop, he turned back to him.
"Lord Zhong, what's wrong?"
"I suddenly remembered that there were still some things, and I would go over to see the emperor later, and I would bother my father-in-law to reply. He turned to leave, and several of the guards around him tended to draw their swords.
His cold eyes swept away, but there were no weapons around him, and in the absence of a complete chance of victory, bubbling action was the stupidest method.
The eunuch cocked his orchid fingers, aimed at a few guards who drew their swords, and pretended to be annoyed and scolded: "One stupid thing, why did you still use a knife against Lord Zhong?"
"They are all people around the emperor, everything must be done by the emperor first, if anyone has different intentions, it is the real innocent!"
On the surface, these words were insulting the guards, but in fact they were more like they were said to Zhong Jingsong, Zhong Jingsong pursed his lips tightly, but he didn't refute it at this time.
"Looks like you have to go?"
"Naturally. The eunuch said respectfully, but there was no half respect in his eyes.
What's the use of power, who is the red man around the emperor, that's the most important thing, everything else is not to please the emperor, the emperor's orders are above everything.
Zhong Jingsong laughed, dusted off his robe and wanted to leave with him: "Then let's go, since it is the emperor's will, it is impossible for the minister to disobey it." ”
"You can think of it that way. The eunuch took him to the emperor with pride.
Lu Yuan's white eyes swept over Zhong Jingsong, and there was no color in his eyes, but the emperor pushed Zhong Jingsong to the front and shouted: "I will give you one last chance, will you retreat?"
"Could it be that the younger brother likes him?"
Lu Yuanbai raised his eyes, with an attitude of not caring very much, not only did he not want to plead, but even wanted to say a few cool words.
"It's great that the royal brother can solve him for me, no one will stop me without him, he has never been taken seriously by me. ”
"You are still as arrogant as ever," the emperor snorted coldly, his gaze fell on Zhenguo Gong, "Originally, I was going to kill you that time, but he found my people at a critical time and wanted to rescue you." ”
"But he didn't expect me to have a back hand, and he risked his life to hold back my forbidden army, thinking that he had sent you out safely, but only pushed you into the hands of my secret guards. ”
"Don't you treat Zhen Guogong as your own son? I haven't found your daughter, if Lu Yuanbai doesn't withdraw from the army, how about letting him die on your daughter's behalf?"
That also means that Zhong Jingsong has never betrayed the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion's face trembled fiercely, and he didn't open his mouth to ask Lu Yuanbai.
But Lu Yuanbai had already seen that he was shaken, he slowly raised his hand, and Zhou Gu saw his intentions, and became more and more indignant: "What kind of thing is he?"
"How many of us have endured the burden for decades, and now give up at this juncture, are you willing?"
Lu Yuanbai withdrew not for Zhong Jingsong, but for Chi Yingchu, if she was here at the moment, would she beg for his life?
Zhong Jingsong also wanted to wait for an answer, he wanted to know which was more important in the heart of Zhen Guogong, himself and Lu Yuanbai, but this answer didn't seem to be meaningful.
Either way, he didn't want to live again.
"You don't need to retreat!" Zhen Guogong's old eyes were cloudy, oozing tears, and he shouted to Zhong Jingsong, "Do you remember the ones that were handed over to you before?"
Even if he becomes a prisoner, he can't drag others down, the current situation is obvious, the day of this Great Chu should have changed, everything Lu Yuanbai did was the will of the people, and the person who should retreat was the emperor.
"I remember!" After Zhong Jingsong said this, he suddenly grabbed the emperor with both hands, the guards drew their swords one after another, and the eunuchs took advantage of the chaos to slip away.
The guards didn't dare to hurt the emperor, so they still had some scruples, but Zhong Jingsong didn't have any worries, he directly hugged the emperor and jumped off the city tower.
Zhen Guogong was shocked by his action, and rode forward to catch him, Zhong Jingsong's body was cushioned before landing, so he was not too seriously injured.
The emperor fell to the ground hard, feeling that all his internal organs were hurting, dozens of swords were pointed at him, and he spat fiercely: "I didn't expect that you would rather betray me at this price!"
There was already a great chaos in Shangjing, Lu Yuanbai asked the Zhenguo Gong to settle Zhong Jingsong, and ordered the army to be stationed outside the city, not to harm the people in the city, and to deal with those who violated the military order.
Zhou Gu Yin approached the emperor with a face, and the knife he raised had not yet fallen, when he heard Lu Yuanbai's voice: "Stop!"
The knife in Zhou Gu's hand froze, the emperor was only temporarily imprisoned, and Lu Yuanbai entered the city and lived in the former palace, but he never entered the palace.
"He's already in his hands, what are you waiting for? I really don't understand you more and more now, she's still ......"
As soon as he heard that he was going to advance Chi Yingchu, Lu Yuanbai's sharp gaze swept over, and he strode out angrily: "I never saw you indecisive before!"
There was already a chaotic scene in the palace, and the palace people wanted to escape before he forced the palace, but when Lu Yuanbai really entered the palace, he only took the kidnapped emperor with him.
The emperor was wearing a dragon robe, stained with filth, and he didn't see the slightest bit of nobility in the past, Lu Yuanbai took him to a palace and kicked him in the knee.
The emperor knelt down, and Lu Yuanbai's voice was soft, but not gentle: "This is the place where you harmed my mother, do you remember?"
"You should kowtow to her and admit your mistakes, as well as your father's side, the Zhou family, and the concubine ......."
"There are so many people on your knees that I can't remember anymore. ”
