Chapter 12 There is a phoenix coming to the dynasty, and all the people sing to congratulate each other

He finished kowtowing, saw the emperor waving his hand impatiently, and hurriedly wanted to leave.

But before leaving, he remembered one more thing, in the end, he paused stiffly, supported the death gaze above, took out another bag from his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, there is still this...... This was recovered from the Assassins. ”

The emperor's face was stormy, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Take it and take a look at me." ”

Yue Zhou hurriedly handed over the things, compared to the very recognizable black oil bombs, the contents of this bag were extraordinary.

However, the only thing worth noting about the small boxwood carved sign is the intricate pattern.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Can the source of this brand be found?" ”

Something happened, where can Yuezhou find out, now seeing the emperor like this, he doesn't dare to tell the truth, so he can only say: "The lower officials are investigating ......"

As soon as he said this, the emperor looked at him with a little unkindness: "Then don't go quickly!" ”

After saying this, Yuezhou didn't dare to delay any longer, and after confessing the crime, he walked out of the palace in disgrace.

Blown by the night wind, Yue Zhou found that the placket on his back was already soaked.

Yue Zhou shook his hands and wiped his sweat, and sighed again.

He had always known that the emperor favored the eldest princess more than his own children, and tonight could be regarded as a real insight.

Speaking of which, this princess is really a good life.

The first emperor came to have a daughter, and he had an eldest princess at the age of sixty.

The phoenix song in her name is taken from the meaning of "there is a phoenix to come, and all the people are singing to congratulate each other".

Since childhood, she has been pampered like a jewel, and on her first birthday, the first emperor gave her the most fertile fiefdom in North Vietnam, Ha Duong.

North Vietnam has gone through three dynasties and a hundred years, and she is the only princess with a fief.

After the death of the first emperor, he ascended the throne today, and he became more and more fond of Zhao Huangge.

After all, the emperor is over forty years old now, but the eldest princess Zhao Huangge is only fourteen.

Today, there is a difference of twenty and six years between the saint and the eldest princess, although his heirs have withered, and three or four children have died in succession, now only one of the four princes is still alive, sick and crooked. But if the other heirs are still alive, the eldest son is four or five years older than Zhao Huangge.

It is precisely because of this that both the first emperor and the current saint are at her mercy.

But now, such an ancestor made a mistake when he was guarding, and the emperor didn't ask for his head directly, he had to kneel down to thank the emperor!

Thinking of this, Yuezhou felt that he was extraordinarily fatal.

In any case, with the suspected culprit of the national teacher, although the emperor is now distressed about the eldest princess, he hasn't remembered to pay attention to him, but when he turns back and settles the accounts, with the national teacher topping the thunder, his situation will inevitably be much better!

Yuezhou thought all the way forward, but he almost bumped into someone.

He was in the midst of the happiness of the rest of his life, and subconsciously frowned and said, "You ......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, and there was a little more humility in his voice: "Master Sun, why are you here?" ”

Sun Cheng is the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, although he is not his top boss, but he is half a student of the other party.

As he spoke, he quietly observed the other party.

The rain was not heavy, but Sun Cheng's clothes were already soaked, and he was not wearing official clothes, which made him a little embarrassed. A long face was full of coldness, the sparse eyebrows were twisted together, and the brows were tightly wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and in this night, it looked more and more solemn.

Because he is in charge of the huge Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Sun Cheng rarely smiles, but in this state, something is obviously wrong.

Yue Zhou thought in his heart, but forgot his miserable situation for a while, and said casually: "Xia Guan just came out of the emperor's place, he is not in a good mood, you will pay attention later." ”

Hearing this, Sun Cheng only bowed slightly, and said, "The official knows, you don't have to be on duty?" ”

He was in a hurry, but at this time, Yuezhou was blocking the way, so he stopped, but his expression was still ugly.

Seeing that the other party obviously had no desire to communicate with him, Yue Zhou also knew that most of them couldn't say anything, so he turned sideways very wisely and gave way to the other party: "I'm about to be on duty, my lord, go quickly, don't delay things." ”

When Sun Cheng went in a hurry, Yue Zhou's smile gradually faded.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers and horses of the five cities entered the palace for what?

The emperor also wanted to ask.

He just drove away a Yuezhou, and was pinching the black oil bomb and twisting his eyebrows to think about it, and when he heard the waiter reply, his first reaction was to put away the black oil bomb.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Baijiapo."

In the evening, the earth dragon turned over, and because the movement was not large, there were few people in Shangjing who felt it.

After the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division found out about the movement, they went into the palace to return to the emperor.

Knowing that it was the earth dragon that turned over, the emperor was startled, but later he heard Sun Cheng say that someone had mistakenly used explosives made of firecrackers and other things, and he put his heart back in an instant.

There were already mountain bandits running around Baijiapo, and the emperor probably guessed that it was the mountain bandits who were in trouble, so he just ordered Sun Cheng to investigate at will, and then give him the results the next day.

Who knew that Sun Cheng not only came in the middle of the night, but also brought him bad news.

"Weichen caught him alive, and after interrogating him overnight, he learned that those who were killed were not mountain bandits, but private soldiers."

When Sun Cheng said this, he handed the fold up again, and said, "This is their confession, please take a look." ”

The emperor's expression at this time had long since lost his previous indifference, and he took it with a solemn face, and after seeing the confession above, his breathing became a little heavier: "Can you find out who has raised it?" ”

It is only ten miles away from the imperial city, and there are private soldiers here, and this is a knife placed next to his couch!

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is investigating, although there is no definite evidence, but the number of private soldiers who practice martial arts is somewhat familiar, similar to what I learned in the North Vietnamese army."

In other words, the person who raises a private soldier is either related to someone in the army, or, he himself is a soldier!

These words made the emperor's heart churn, and he was only a little excited, and then he had an earth-shattering cough.

The waiter was about to enter the door, but was stopped by the emperor, poured a cup of tea himself, and then eased up a little, and said in a deep voice: "You continue." ”

Sun Cheng looked at the emperor with some concern, in the past year, the emperor's body has become weaker and weaker, and it has been declining rapidly recently.

According to this momentum, the destiny of heaven is afraid to ......

He didn't dare to think about it for a while, so he could only abandon those chaotic thoughts and return to his senses: "Those people don't know who they have given their orders, but Weichen has found this from them. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the evidence he had found and said, "Look at this brand, this is from a private soldier, and each pattern is different, probably related to their respective ranks. ”

After Sun Cheng handed over the sign, the emperor's pupils shrank suddenly.

This brand, and the things sent by Yuezhou before, are of the same origin and ancestry!

"Go, call Yuezhou back to me!"

Hearing the emperor's orders, the chamberlain promised again and again, and ran out to stop people.

So, Yuezhou just left the palace gate and was intercepted back.

"Wechen knocks to see the emperor."

He didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked people to drag him back, but looking at the appearance of the emperor and Sun Cheng, it was obvious that there was nothing good at this time.

Yue Zhou was apprehensive in his heart, and subconsciously secretly went to look at Sun Cheng, but heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "You said earlier that a wooden plaque was found from the assassin, may it be confirmed that it is the assassin's belonging?" ”

Hearing this, Yue Zhou felt more and more bottomless in his heart, looking at the emperor's expression, he didn't dare to hide anything, and replied more and more cautiously: "Back to the emperor, it's true, that brand was worn by the assassin closely, because his body was blown up in pieces, and it took a lot of effort." ”

After all, who would dare to take evidence stained with blood and flesh and let the emperor see it?

Isn't that crazy!

Hearing his words, the emperor was silent for a moment, then threw the sign on the dragon case and said, "You come and see these." ”

Yue Zhou only dared to look up at the emperor at this time, but after seeing what he threw over, his eyes suddenly widened: "This ......"

These brands, except for the different patterns, are made of exactly the same material, all of which are made of boxwood!

This realization made Yue Zhou's hands tremble a little, and he subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, where did you get these brands?" ”

When he caught the assassin, he probably thought that this sign would be a clue, but now it is clear that it is not only a clue, it seems to be ......

Don't have an inside story?!
