The morning of the second day.

The Imperial Study.

"Aiqing, do you have any bold ideas to talk to me about today?"

Last time, Emperor Yongping had already taken care of Gu Ming's proposal to compile the "Yongping Grand Canon", as well as the abolition of the ban on martial arts, the addition of martial arts, and the formation of special combat forces, and was recently discussing with some ministers.

Basically, there are relatively many supporters of the "Yongping Canon".

However, the vast majority of ministers are opposed to the lifting of the ban on arms, for fear of irreversible and serious consequences.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here today to report a major incident."

"Oh?" Emperor Yongping couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" ”

The stakes are high, Gu Ming lazily detoured around the bend and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Ni Chenggui, the general of the western border pass, is plotting to rebel!" ”

"What?"

Emperor Yongping exclaimed, thinking that he had misheard.

"Your Majesty, this is a true thing, this letter was written by the Duke of Yasukuni to the emperor, and the emperor will know it at a glance."

"Yasukuni Gong? With such a major military situation, he shouldn't even report it to me? ”

Gu Ming explained: "Your Majesty, Ni Chenggui is already mobilizing troops, and once the Duke of Yasukuni appears in the palace, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other party......

Saying this, Emperor Yongping was barely able to accept it, and took the letter with a gloomy face.

After reading the letter, my face finally improved a little...... Come to think of it, Luo Xiao has already talked about the countermeasures in the letter.

It's just that Gu Ming's words pulled his heart to the bottom again......

"Your Majesty, if nothing else, it is ...... that colludes with Ni Chenggui Celebrate the king! ”

"How could it be him? Uncle Huang has always followed the rules, Gu Aiqing, where did you get these bases from? How did you know that Ni Chenggui would rebel? ”

"Your Majesty, this is ...... It's more complicated to say. Originally, some ministers were going to wait until the time was ripe to talk about it, but now...... It has already involved the major matter of rebellion, and the minister can only talk about it in advance. ”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongping couldn't help frowning: "Aiqing, what else are you hiding from me?" ”

"Your Majesty, didn't the minister have the intention to hide it from you...... In this way, let's talk about Ni Chenggui's rebellion first. ”

"Okay, then Aiqing, can you tell me more about how you learned about this news?"

"Yes~" Gu Ming nodded, and then said: "It was when the minister first arrived in the capital to take office, and that night, Princess Qing came to find the minister......"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yongping's eyes immediately widened: "Wait, Aiqing, what did you say?" Princess Qing went to look for you at night? ”

Speaking of which, Princess Qing is his aunt...... This...... It's literal.

"Ahem, the emperor listened to the ministers explain slowly...... This whole thing is very weird, and the emperor had better be mentally prepared. ”

"Well, I'll try to listen as calmly as I can."

"The reason why Princess Qing married Prince Qing is actually a well-designed conspiracy. Princess Qing's name is Xin Jiuniang, and her real identity is actually a fox spirit......"

"What? Princess Qing is a fox spirit? ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, there are even more bizarre ...... The reason why Xin Jiuniang was able to marry into the palace was all due to a secret arrangement by one person. ”

"Who?"

"Protector of the Country!"

"The Protector of the Country? This...... How could this be? Could it be that the protector of the country can't see Xin Jiuniang's identity? ”

"On the contrary, it was precisely because the abbot knew that Xin Jiuniang was a fox spirit that he would let her marry into the palace.

To put it simply, it is a beauty trick that is convenient to control King Qing. ”

"Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it, the Dharma Abbot is a generation of high monks, and I personally canonized the Dharma Abbot of the Protector of the Country, how could he do such a thing?"

This is also Gu Ming, if it were another minister who said this, Emperor Yongping would have turned his face long ago.

Regarding Emperor Yongping's reaction, Gu Ming already knew it, and raised his hand to lift the three-character scripture hanging on the wall: "The emperor knows why the minister sent such a picture in the first place?" ”

"This ...... Could it be that there is something profound? ”

"That's right, this painting can make the emperor's heart clear and calm his mind, so as to weaken the influence of the Fazhang on you."

"Impact? This...... What do you mean? ”

"The image of the high monk of the Dharma Abbot is only in its form, in fact, his body is a thousand-year-old centipede essence!"

"What? What do you say about the Fajo...... Goblin? ”

Emperor Yongping lost his temper again.

This is probably also the most gaffe in his life.

"That's right, whether the emperor believes it or not, listen to the ministers slowly.

Although Xin Jiuniang is a fox spirit, she has a good nature...... Earlier, she entered the WTO to find a husband, and the couple loved each other and gave birth to a child.

As a result, she was targeted by the abbot, kidnapped her husband and children and threatened her, and finally had to marry Prince Qing under the coercion of the abbot.

She has been trying to save her husband and children, but she doesn't know where they are being held.

It is precisely because of this that she chose to cooperate with the minister, she helped the minister provide some information, and the minister also promised her that she would find a way to save her husband and children.

Ni Chenggui colluded with Prince Qing to rebel, and it was she who found some traces of spiders and worms......"

"Such a major matter, why didn't Aiqing report it to me in the first place?"

At that time, Xin Jiuniang was only suspicious, not completely sure. After weighing the left and right, the minister went to the Duke of Yasukuni and asked him to help secretly keep an eye on the movements of the border garrison......

Now, the people sent by the Yasukuni Gong can confirm that Ni Chenggui has a problem, and the minister entered the palace to report to the emperor. ”

"That'...... Is there a way for Aiqing to prove that the Fazhang is a demon? ”

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister has already fought with him......"

"Huh?"

"The minister is just testing his strength, and it's basically the point. In fact, it is very simple to prove that he is a demon, but I am afraid that if I force him to be in a hurry, I am afraid that the consequences will be very serious. ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, the old demon kidnapped not only Xin Jiuniang's family, but also the families of many ministers in the court.

It is precisely based on this that the minister is afraid that the old demon dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, so he has been secretly looking for a place to hold the hostages. ”

"That'...... Is there any progress? ”

"Not for the time being, because the minister has been paying attention to the matter of Ni Chenggui and Prince Qing conspiring to raise troops."

"I'm a little dizzy......"

Emperor Yongping couldn't help covering his forehead, and his mind was in chaos.

At this time, Gu Ming couldn't help but use his words to form a chapter, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, you must believe the words of the minister." ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I ...... It's just that the Dharma is ...... How could he be a demon? ”

"He is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that he is not at ease to be a protector of the country. Once he has achieved the general trend, the world will be in chaos! ”

"That'...... So what should I do now? ”

At this time, Emperor Yongping was really physically and mentally tired.

It's not that he doesn't believe Gu Ming, but Pudu Cihang also has a great influence on him, and he can't accept it for a while.

The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat......

Coupled with the rebellion between Ni Chenggui and Prince Qing, it made his brain even more confused......

"Your Majesty, this is also the reason why the minister has not told you the true identity of the abbot before, I wanted to talk about it when the time is ripe.

But now the two things are intertwined, so the minister can only reveal it in advance......

Your Majesty, regarding the identity of the abbot, this matter is not trivial, and I also ask the emperor not to mention it in front of anyone, once the news leaks, the consequences will be unimaginable......

……

A few days later.

A piece of news suddenly came back to the capital, which immediately caused a huge turmoil between the government and the opposition.

Ni Chenggui, the general guarding the pass, and more than a dozen of his subordinates conspired to rebel, but fortunately they were discovered in time by the imperial court agents, and they controlled a cadre in time by thunderous means, avoiding a mutiny crisis.

When the news came back to the capital, there were still many ministers who did not believe that Ni Chenggui would rebel at all, thinking that it was an internal strife for power and profit.

This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and some lieutenant generals can be said to be unscrupulous in order to climb up, and dare to use any means.

Subsequently, another shocking news came out: it was Qing Wangye who colluded with Ni Chenggui to rebel, Qing Wangye knew that the matter was exposed, and led a group of subordinates to flee in a hurry, but before he escaped from the capital, he was arrested by a group of masters in the Shence Mansion.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition were shocked.

After all, Prince Qing has always followed the rules, giving people the impression that he belongs to the kind of person who is content with the status quo and only knows pleasure, how can he have such great ambitions?

Qing Wangye was caught on the front foot, and on the back foot, all the princes in the capital went to the palace one after another...... Because, they have also become frightened birds, for fear of being implicated in this matter, they must go to the emperor to talk, clear their suspicions, and show their loyalty.

Qingwang's Mansion was taken over by the imperial court, and all the family members and people in the palace were taken into custody and investigated the same party one by one.

However, there is an important person who has disappeared mysteriously: Princess Qing.

In all dynasties, rebellion is a heinous crime, and the nine clans should be punished. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Qing Wangye...... The Nine Clans of the Prince of Xuqing?

Qing Wang Ye is the emperor's own uncle, didn't the Zhu Jiu clan punish the emperor himself?

Therefore, the participation of the children of the royal family in the rebellion generally only involves their direct lineage.

Princess Qing, as the main chamber of Prince Qing, cannot escape the felony whether she knows it or not......

As a result, the whereabouts have become a mystery and have caused many people to speculate.

Some people say that Princess Qing is pregnant with Prince Qing's child, and for the sake of safety, Prince Qing has long sent Princess Qing out of the capital and placed her in secret to keep the incense.

Some people say that Princess Qing happened to return to her parents' house and escaped this catastrophe for the time being......

There are even more outrageous sayings, saying that it was because Princess Qing was so beautiful that the emperor was reluctant to kill her, so he secretly put it in the harem and lied to the outside that she was missing......

As a result, no one expected that Xin Jiuniang did not leave the capital at all.

Amaterasuji Temple.

"Rubbish, you've been staying with that old guy and didn't even know he was going to rebel?"

In the meditation room, Pudu Cihang had a hideous face and roared angrily at Xin Jiuniang.

Recently, he was thinking about how to deal with Gu Ming and clear the obstacles, but he never expected that there would be a fire in the backyard.

From this, the old demon also began to realize that his ability ...... Maybe it's not that strong.

"Fazhang, slave family...... The slave family is really wronged......"

Xin Jiuniang pretended to be aggrieved.

"Don't make excuses, you are clearly dissatisfied with this seat and deliberately conceal it and do not report it."

"Lord Fajo, that's really not the case, this is ...... This is all to blame for Gu Ming, as well as those people from the Western Regions......

The slave family has already heard the news, this time Prince Qing colluded with others to rebel, and it was Gu Ming who delivered the news to the emperor......"

"Even you don't know, how can that kid know?"

"This ...... The slave family really doesn't know...... Also, the reason why Prince Qing was not completely controlled by the slave family must be the ghost ...... those people from the Western Regions."

"Have you seen those people from the Western Regions?"

"I met once, Prince Qing once brought two people from the Western Regions to the palace. Those two people don't seem to have any problems.

However, King Qing often goes out, and it is inconvenient for the slave family to follow him, so what he has done outside, how can the slave family know? ”

"Hmph, you're still useless......"

"Ask Lord Fazhang to be merciful, will you let go of the husband and children of the slave family?"

"You have done all the things that this seat has explained, and you still want this seat to release people?"

Xin Jiuniang's face was miserable: "That...... What should the slave family do before the abbot is willing to release him? ”

"For now, you can only stand by for the time being...... Otherwise, you will change your appearance and stay in the palace, be a palace maid by Concubine Ning's side, and then find a chance to confuse the emperor......"

"Obey the orders of the Fa Zhang!"

Xin Jiuniang didn't dare to say more, so she could only respond.
