What's more, the news from the cronies of the Marquis of Zhenguo and along the way, the rebels have not been able to try to rescue Xia Changhe, and the road from the city gate to the palace will not be good.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, this Xia Changhe had to be quietly and unobtrusively escorted into the palace, so that he could negotiate with the rebels.

King Ning was a little unhappy, but seeing that many people agreed, even Zhu Jingyan and Xie Ming were silent, acquiescing, and after thinking about it himself, it was indeed such a truth, so he had to temporarily suppress the agitation in his heart and agreed.

At this point, King Ning's heart was finally put back into his stomach a little.

And the rebels displayed outside the south gate don't know if they also learned the news, but they actually stopped for the time being, and they didn't move for a few days.

A few days later, the old town of Xihou entered Beijing.

But it was he and the Marquis of Zhenguo who quietly came back with a team of masters who escorted Xia Changhe quietly, and the accompanying army queen was to attract the attention of those rebels and escort Xia Changhe back to the palace safely.

However, on the way from the city gate to the palace, the rebels still came out a few times, but fortunately, King Ning had already prepared, the old town Xihou and Zhenguo Hou were not vegetarians, and finally there was no danger, and Xia Changhe was escorted into the palace gate.

didn't go to the city gate to pick it up, and King Ning could barely wait in the Taihe Hall with the ministers at this time.

Until someone came to report that the two marquis had come to the Taihe Hall with the traitor Xia Changhe, the entire hall was silent, and everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the palace gate.

After a while, faint footsteps came.

In the sight, the first person was dressed in armor, although he was already in the age of the sixtieth year, he was still in good spirits, and he was old and strong, and it was the old town of Xihou.

The person who was half a step behind him was also dressed in armor, slightly fatter, and was the Marquis of Zhenguo. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen the Marquis of Zhenguo dressed in military uniform.

At the back, there were four soldiers, escorting one person, against the light, hanging his head slightly, his hair was slightly messy, covering his head and face, and he couldn't see it clearly for the time being.

Can......

The smile on King Ning's face narrowed slightly, and the other people in the hall were also weird, this was a little wrong! In the forbidden palace, in addition to the forbidden army, the generals had to unload their blades before entering the palace gate, but the old Zhenxi Hou and Zhenguo Hou were all dressed in armor and entered with swords.

At this time, the old Zhenxi Hou had already stopped, and so did the Zhenguo Hou and the soldiers behind him.

King Ning's mind was racing, but he smiled, stepped down from the high steps, took two steps forward, and said with a happy face, "Old Marquis, you are back......

As soon as the word "" fell, but when he heard the sound of a sword, Xihou, the old town that had been sinking like water, actually pulled out his sword from the sheath, and the tip of the sword pointed straight at King Ning's face.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, what was going on?

This is a great sin of disrespect! Although King Ning has not yet ascended the throne, he is also the rightful imperial brother.

The expression on the face of the old town Xihou did not flicker for a moment, and he stared at King Ning firmly and indifferently.

The smile on King Ning's face stiffened and became bitter, but he still had to force his way and said, "What is the old marquis doing?" ”

"Zhu Zheng, you chaotic thief, you still have the face to ask the old man what to do?" Lao Zhen Xihou snorted, the two gray beards on his lips curled twice, but the long sword in his hand was steady.

The rest of the people in the hall knew that today's matter was big, and they all shrank their heads and shook their shoulders, wishing they could find a crack in the ground under their feet, and it would be better to go in and hide.

King Ning smiled, "What is the old marquis talking about?" There must be some misunderstanding of this? ”

"Misunderstanding?" Lao Zhen Xihou snorted, "The old man will let everyone in the world see your wolf ambition clearly today, so that you can be convinced." After that, the old town Xihou has taken out a thing from his sleeve, it is a letter written in silk, the silk is light in color, faintly revealing two points of blood, the old town Xihou eyes in the hall for a while, and then, the silk in his hand shook off, right in front of King Ning's eyes.

"This blood letter is written by the first emperor in your mouth, and the letter clearly explains your many evil deeds, how you plotted to kill the king of Sui, and how you framed the prince to rebel, killed the king, imprisoned him, drugged him, and coerced him to order you to be named the emperor's brother...... If His Royal Highness King Ning still feels wronged, can he ask the old man to read this blood letter in front of all the ministers? A few pavilion elders, do you want to look at them one by one and see them clearly? ”

Those pavilion elders naturally didn't dare to say a word, King Ning's face was pale, but he still forced an innocent face, "Dare to ask the old marquis, where did this blood letter come from?" How can the old marquis listen to and believe partially, but not believe in this king? This king is the first emperor to canonize and announce the emperor's younger brother to the world, how can he be a chaotic minister and thief? No matter what is written in this blood book, it must have been forged and framed by others, and I can't believe it for half a point! ”

"The handwriting on this letter, the old man still recognizes, is the handwriting of His Majesty." The old town Xihou was dissatisfied with being questioned, and blew his beard and glared.

"Old marquis, there are many strange people in this world, and this king knows that some people can imitate the handwriting of others to confuse the truth." King Ning said helplessly.

"Zhu Zheng, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you are really an old man and confused, and you can't even recognize whether the handwriting in this blood book is true or false? You have forgotten that the old man had been the prince and the young protector earlier. ”

As soon as the old town Xihou said this, there was silence everywhere, and so did King Ning. Oh, yes! The prince is young! It was exactly what Emperor Qianhe did when he was still the crown prince, and he was a close minister of Emperor Qianhe when he was still the prince, and he was naturally very familiar with Emperor Qianhe's handwriting.

"What's more...... This handwriting is not the handwriting of His Majesty all the year round, this handwriting is still when His Majesty was young, knowing that the old man was a left-hander, accustomed to writing with his left hand, and he was curious to follow the practice. But because he was afraid of people talking, he never appeared in front of people. In addition, between the old man and His Majesty, there are code words and tokens, all of which can be matched one by one, except for Your Majesty, no one knows. Is it like this, you still have to quibble? ”

The smile on King Ning's face had completely disappeared, and a thin lip that was exactly the same as Zhu Jingyan slowly pursed into a straight line, his tiger eyes were slightly condensed, staring at the old town Xihou, and the cold light shot out of his eyes.

Old Town Xihou stared at him and smiled, "It seems that you have nothing to say?" ”

King Ning was silent, and the old town Xihou suddenly turned his head and said to the ministers in the palace, "Everyone, you can all see and hear clearly, our Royal Highness King Ning, for his own ambition and greed, blood cannibalism, disloyalty for ministers, and injustice for uncles, it is really a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished." You are all loyal, brave and benevolent people, don't be deceived by him, you must keep your eyes open, and work with the old man to set things right. ”

"Zhenxi Hou!" King Ning finally opened his mouth, "I thought you were upright, loyal and trustworthy, but I didn't want to, after all, this king made a mistake." ”
