Chapter 444: Will

At this moment, the commander of the Praetorian Guard suddenly came out of the shadows and stood in front of all the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, looking at them condescendingly.

He put one hand on the long knife at his waist and looked at the person in front of him with indifference.

Seeing this, an uneasy official asked loudly: "Commander, who are you?" ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard said indifferently: "In accordance with Your Majesty's order, please don't embarrass me." ”

No one had time to ask what the order was, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard did not give them a chance to speak at all, his hand was raised, and immediately someone understood what he meant, and rushed up to seal their mouths.

It was only at this time, seeing that everyone was silent, that the commander of the Praetorian Guard said the second half of the sentence: "...... In accordance with His Majesty's order, he was trapped in the side hall of the dormitory, waiting to be released. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Even a few of them struggled on the spot regardless of their manners, but under the control of the Praetorian Guards, not only did they not escape, but they even broke free of the black gauze hat on their heads, and their half-white hair was scattered, so they were not embarrassed.

Seeing this, the commander of the Praetorian Guard glanced at the few people who were struggling, and said lightly: "Please cooperate a little with the adults, otherwise I can only order them to knock you unconscious, and then drag them into the side hall to take care of them, if you don't want to make things so ugly, please think twice." ”

As soon as the words fell, the amplitude of the struggles of the men gradually decreased, until finally they returned to complete calm.

They knew too well the way the Janissaries behaved.

Especially the young Commander.

If they continue to struggle fearlessly, this commander will really not hesitate to suppress them.

Anyway, it is to do things for His Majesty, and he will definitely not be afraid of punishment afterwards.

The Praetorian Guard, a difficult object to provoke in the palace.

Soon, a group of more than a dozen people were imprisoned in the side hall farthest away from the emperor's bedroom.

I met several palace people along the way, but no one dared to intervene to stop them, and they didn't even have the courage to take a second look, so they had to kneel on the ground or avoid them in advance.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but despair in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.

They just want to add another touch of security to the country's society for the sake of the country's future, why did they suddenly fall to the point of being guarded?

However, no matter how aggrieved everyone was, they didn't dare to fight against the Praetorian Guards at this moment.

Because at this moment, the Praetorian Guard represents the will of the emperor, and to act against the Praetorian Guard is to provoke the majesty of the emperor.

It wasn't until he was sent into the side hall and the rag in his mouth was torn out and he finally regained his freedom that he was able to ask urgently: "Commander, what the hell is going on?" Why did Your Majesty suddenly remember to attack us and imprison us?! ”

It's definitely not a simple thing to be.

So many people were imprisoned at once, and no one would believe it.

The Praetorian Guard's eyes turned cold and glanced at the person who was talking, and said, "I'm just acting according to orders, you don't have to ask me, when you regain your freedom, you can naturally let Your Majesty answer for you." ”

What a cold and ruthless one.

A Praetorian Guard commander who will only obey the emperor's orders.

After knowing that they couldn't get any words, the courtiers also extinguished their hearts one after another, and watched as the commander of the Praetorian Guard turned away, locked the side hall coldly, and ordered the people below to guard them more closely, completely cutting off their contact with the outside world.

It was only at this time that the minister, who had been neglected before, dared to complain in a low voice: "What a group of rough people who don't know how to be polite!" ”

I don't know how much etiquette is light.

The Praetorian Guards never spoke politely, they only followed orders.

There are very few people like this who only complain afterwards, and what they care more about is why Emperor Jin Anhuang did this.

"Colleagues, do you know what Your Majesty means?"

"Who knows?" Immediately, someone took over the conversation dissatisfiedly: "If you want me to say, it should be Your Majesty who has been angered by the re-establishment of the crown prince in the past few days, and it is Your Majesty who thinks of teaching us a lesson." ”

As soon as this remark came out, some people expressed a different opinion: "In my opinion, it may not be. ”

If you just want to give a lesson, you don't need to be so popular, just scolding the court casually is enough to make that person lose face.

After such a reminder, someone finally noticed that something was wrong

"Why do you kneel outside His Majesty's bedroom with the Grand Master?"

"And why are you here?"

The same question hovers over everyone's mind, but they think about it and don't think about it in the end.

After sorting out the clues, everyone suddenly discovered that the reason why they appeared in this place was more or less related to Jiang Bowen.

After a long time, one of them said: "It seems that this matter can only be asked by the Taishi." ”

Jiang Bowen didn't know that the rest of the ministers outside the palace were all taken into custody.

In this matter, he is trying to fool Emperor Jin An.

Because Emperor Jin An said that he didn't want him to speak, Jiang Bowen honestly closed his mouth and waited for the superior to ask.

This feeling of being slaughtered by others is actually not good, but Jiang Bowen has no other way to do it, so he can only be in such a passive situation.

After a while, Emperor Jin An, who Jiang Bowen had only listened to, asked, "What is the cause of your son Jiang You's broken leg?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jin An suddenly reacted, he only gave Jiang Bowen the choice of shaking his head or nodding, this person couldn't answer such a complicated question.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jin An ignored Jiang Bowen's instantly ugly face, and asked again: "Did you plan Jiang You's fall from the horse?" ”

Suddenly, Jiang Bowen's face turned pale: "Your Majesty ......"

"Shhhhhhhh ”

In desperation, Jiang Bowen could only shake his head.

He wouldn't admit it anyway.

After admitting it, things are going to get troublesome because he has no way to explain why he did it.

Once this matter is torn apart, everything will become very troublesome, or even unending.

Seeing that he didn't admit it, Emperor Jin An was not surprised, but there was a lot more disappointment in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Bowen was willing to admit it and tell him the reason why he did such a thing, maybe everything could still be saved, but he denied it.

"It's really none of your business?" Emperor Jin An asked again.

Jiang Bowen nodded.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin An no longer had any hope for him, and continued to ask, "Have you ever sent someone to assassinate the crown prince?" ”

“……”

"Is the corruption case in Po Ting related to you? Have you ever colluded with Po Ting? ”

“……”

"When the prince of the East Palace was in the Yan Kingdom, did you reach an agreement with Yan Zheng, the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom, to let him take the prince's life?"

“……”

Shake your head, or shake your head.

Even if every question of Emperor Jin Anhuang made Jiang Bowen tremble, he stubbornly resisted the pressure and did not admit anything.

In the end, Emperor Jin Anhuang was a little tired of asking, but he still had to continue.

Because Jiang Bowen's so-called, it can be described in four words.

Finally, Emperor Jin Anhuang pinched his eyebrows, felt the pain in the corners of his forehead, and continued to ask:

"Did you keep private soldiers in captivity?"

"Are you a fine work sent by Liangguo?"

"Are you the mastermind behind the shipwreck?"

"Thirteen was kidnapped, did you send someone to do it?"

Countless questions were asked in person, like one after another, making people speechless and even shaking their heads in denial.

Jiang Bowen became more and more frightened.

He didn't know how these things were stabbed in front of Emperor Jin An.

Although I have already begun to wonder if it was the prince of the East Palace.

However...... He had no evidence.

And, even if she is the prince of the East Palace, how can she know these things?!

Seeing that his expression changed several times, Emperor Jin An sneered in his heart: "Okay, I've finished what I want to say, what do you want to say, now is the best opportunity." ”

The implication is that if he doesn't say it again, he won't have a chance to say it.

In shock, Jiang Bowen did not hear the meaning of Emperor Jin An's words, but blindly calmed down, did not rush to explain, and still said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Wechen doesn't know who is slandering Wechen in front of Your Majesty, but Wechen dares to assure Your Majesty that everything Your Majesty says has nothing to do with Wechen." ”

Isn't it irrelevant?

Nature is relevant.

Even in everything, he is behind the scenes.

However, it is naturally impossible to tell Emperor Jin An directly, and he can't reveal a word anyway.

Once one of the charges is confirmed, then he will be greeted by an endless abyss, and once he falls, he will never be able to turn over.

"You mean, it's all slander?" Jin Anhuang's tone was condensed, and his trust was completely consumed, and he was too unkind at the moment.

Looking at Jiang Bowen's gaze, it was like looking at a dead man.

Jiang Bowen nodded stubbornly: "...... It has nothing to do with ministers. ”

There were some things that he couldn't even remember.

In the same way, I hope others can't remember it.

Whatever happens, it's best not to get involved with him.

For now, Jiang Bowen can only secretly pray for the person who broke all these things, and there is no definite evidence in his hand to prove that he did those things.

In this way, he can find a glimmer of life from the current desperate situation.

Otherwise......

He was only afraid of danger.

After the disappointment accumulated to a certain extent, and then listened to Jiang Bowen's full of lies, Emperor Jin An could no longer be angry, and only felt that everything was extremely ridiculed.

Whether it is for the royal family, or for Jiang Bowen, or for the people.

This is tantamount to a great mockery.

As the king of a country, he couldn't understand people to such an extent that he reused the meticulous work sent by an enemy country, and almost dragged the entire Great Jin into the Infernal Hell.

How can Emperor Jin An not hate?

He hated to death, and he couldn't wait to immediately dismantle Jiang Bowen into eight pieces to vent his anger.

However, as Qi Changrong said, this is no longer a war between the royal family and Jiang Bowen.

This is a war between the royal family and the common people.

Decades of operation have made countless people become Jiang Bowen's most solid backing.
