Luo Ke's scheming is not far worse than Zhuang Chang.

He also quickly thought that their relationship for so many years was coming to an end, although he didn't want Zhuang Changyuan's life, but the other party had to kill him, so he couldn't be soft-hearted.

Luo Ke, who returned home, went down to his basement overnight to find out the evidence of Zhuang Changyuan's collaboration with the enemy over the years, checked them one by one, and then wrapped them in things.

It was handed over to the personal guard: "Send it to Lord Xiao overnight and tell him that once the time is ripe, he will report this to the emperor." ”

The guards took the order and took the things out.

It's just that he didn't even go to Xiao Anguo's mansion, but he was knocked unconscious by someone who didn't know where he came out, and directly took the things in his hand.

The guards were discovered by Luo Ke's family, because he waited for a long time and didn't see anyone come back, so Luo Ke sent the family out to look for him, and then saw the guard who was about to freeze to death after being knocked out on the side of the road.

There is no need to ask anything, the evidence is definitely robbed, and this person must be Zhuang Changyuan.

Now Luo Ke is not soft-hearted at all.

He knows Zhuang Changyuan's temperament very well, guessing is one thing, and getting empirical evidence is another, once he sees these evidence of treason, he will not leave a little affection for Luo Ke, and will even kill his entire family.

He had to do it first.

Luo Ke also has some soldiers in his hands, compared with Zhuang Changyuan, of course, it is not good, but the emperor has already taken away the military power of his chief executive, which is a part less.

However, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the Imperial City is also in his hands, and these soldiers will have as many as 100,000 people, and it is still easy to take down a small Luo Ke.

It's just that once Zhuang Changyuan moved the Imperial Forest Army, even if the emperor didn't get the evidence of his treason, his antipathy also showed the world that it was not conducive to his future plans.

Luo Ke was anxious, thinking left and right, thinking that Ling Tiancheng would protect him when he sent troops, and on the other hand, he thought of Zhuang Changyuan's power.

After so many years, he didn't have no antipathy, so he just got so much military power in his hands, didn't he just be able to directly capture the palace and kill the emperor when he wanted to rebel?

Even if Ling Tiancheng had been prepared for a long time, and now he also had the royal soldiers in his hands, and now he had the Ouchi guards in his hands, but it was still far from enough to deal with the Imperial Forest Army.

Once Zhuang Changyuan rebelled, killed him, and then attacked the palace, then he would be the final winner.

Luo Ke only started to panic now, and he couldn't even figure out how things had come to this point.

But as in the past, he had no way out, and now he was caught in the middle, and there was no way to reconcile with Zhuang Changyuan, so he could only rely on Ling Tiancheng.

This is the only way for him.

Luo Ke entered the palace overnight, took his waist card, entered the Zichen Palace, and asked people to quickly report to Ling Tiancheng, saying that he had something important to face the saint.

At this time, Ling Tiancheng was discussing the matter of silver with Zhuang Siyan in the Xuan Palace.

Zhuang Siyan carefully looked at the things he had robbed, and after confirming that it was Zhuang Changyuan's evidence, he carried it to find Ling Tiancheng.

"Something for you."

Ling Tiancheng looked up at her, he didn't know what it was, but when he took it in his hand, his face changed greatly.

"How did you get it?"

Zhuang Siyan looked proud: "Don't worry about this, just cash out the one thousand taels of silver you said before." ”

Ling Tiancheng had already stood up from the table and quickly flipped through the evidence about Zhuang Changyuan.

Even he didn't expect that Zhuang Changyuan could be rampant in this place, and since the time of the first emperor, he has begun to do things that are not rebellious.

He deducted eighty percent of everything that was paid tribute from the outer lands, and only two percent could go to the treasury.

In recent years, he has privately colluded with outsiders to cede the herdsmen and property on the border of the Dasheng Dynasty to the other party.

agreed with the other party that once he sat on the throne, he would cede all the land and grasslands on the border of the Dasheng Dynasty.

In addition, there are countless other crimes, such as selling officials.

He sold his official positions in all provinces, and these people were loyal to him.

The leader of the Imperial Forest Army, as well as the leader of the Ouchi Guard, are his men.

It's no wonder that when he handed over the military power at that time, he didn't care, because he knew that even if he didn't have the military power, these people would still listen to him.

Ling Tiancheng was also a little flustered, judging from the current situation, as long as Zhuang Changyuan reversed, they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and they would definitely be taken down by him.

Even if he is calm, he still can't believe what is happening in front of him.

Zhuang Siyan also noticed his abnormality, and said with a smile: "No, a thousand taels of silver, but you said it yourself at the beginning, why are your hands still shaking at this time?" ”

Ling Tiancheng's eyes sank: "You don't understand Yan'er, this matter is serious." ”

"I don't understand, I gave you these things after I saw them." Zhuang Siyan didn't care at all.

But Ling Tiancheng really couldn't laugh at this time, he really wanted to give her some silver, and it was best to send her out quickly.

But Luo Ke has now taken out such an important thing, which means that Zhuang Changyuan has already done something to him, and the palace is also within his scope.

None of them want to go out now.

If Zhuang Siyan stayed in the palace and stayed by his side, he would definitely fight to save her life, even if it was his own death.

After all, she is Zhuang Changyuan's daughter, and if she stabs the emperor, then her father will definitely not want her life.

But if you send her out now, it will be a dead end.

Ling Tiancheng frowned, but Zhuang Siyan looked at him and said, "Ling Xuan, why don't we discuss one more thing?" ”

"Seeing that you are worried now, I am also very distressed, otherwise, you give me a thousand taels of silver first, and I will give you a clever plan for free?"

Ling Tiancheng: "......"

That's it, no matter what the road ahead is, this is his Yan'er's last request, and it is also her hope, and he still has to meet it.

called Li Fu over: "Bring a thousand taels of silver to Concubine Wan." ”

Li Fu didn't know anything, and when he saw that the emperor gave Concubine Wan silver, it was only a normal reward, so he hurried to buy it.

At this moment, there were people going back and forth outside, saying that Luo Ke had urgently entered the palace and wanted to see Ling Tiancheng.

He glanced at Zhuang Siyan: "I'll go and take a look, don't move here." ”

"No, Your Majesty, you wait for me, I'll change my clothes and go with you."

Zhuang Siyan casually picked up the clothes of the nearest eunuch, put on Ling Tiancheng's dressing table, quickly sorted out the makeup on his face, and turned into a little eunuch, followed him to his left and right, and went to Zichen Palace.

Ling Tiancheng only glanced at Luo Ke and knew that things had begun.

Luo Ke is an old minister, he has been an official in the court since the first emperor, and when he arrived at Ling Tiancheng, he controlled the government with Zhuang Changyuan.

It can be said that he has seen more major events than Ling Tiancheng, so he has practiced the kung fu of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face.

It was also this effort that prompted him to survive countless storms and waves, and rise step by step.

His personality was originally very rigorous, and the chance of making mistakes was very small, so for so many years, Ling Tiancheng had never seen him panic.

But he was standing outside the Zichen Hall at this time, the light of the palace lamp was shining on his face, which was pale, his hair was also a little messy, and his clothes were even more panicked because of walking back and forth, and the hems were twisted together.

Although his hands were hidden in his sleeves, judging from the slight changes in his body, he should be trembling at this time.

Seeing Ling Tiancheng coming from a distance, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and knocked his head down, almost breaking his forehead.

Ling Tiancheng already knew the whole story, but he could hold it steady at this time, but instead pretended not to know anything, and asked him, "Luo Aiqing entered the palace late at night, but what's the urgency?" ”

Luo Ke said "Your Majesty", his body was already trembling, and he almost knelt down again when he just got up.

Ling Tiancheng hurriedly sat down, and he also sat down on the main seat, comforting him and saying, "Don't panic, talk slowly if you have something." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, ......."

Is it not a capital offense? With so many evidence of treason in Zhuang Changyuan's hands, he didn't come out at all when he asked him to investigate the case before, and now that things were robbed, he dared to say it, and the crime was not lighter than Zhuang Changyuan.

Ling Tiancheng remained silent, and only asked him what was the matter.

Luo Ke said: "The emperor ordered the minister to investigate the evidence of Zhuang Xiang's treason, and the minister spared no effort, but Zhuang Xiang was too cunning, and the minister had nothing to gain in the end, so he could only show the result to the emperor."

The emperor was merciful and allowed him to return to the court as prime minister, which was originally a good thing, but ......"

He paused for a moment, and when he saw Ling Tiancheng sitting with an unmoving expression, he continued: "But not long ago, the minister received a secret report that Zhuang Xiangye really committed treason.

Because the news was unreliable, the minister did not dare to show the emperor for the time being, so he had to check privately.

Recently, I finally found some evidence, and I was about to play the emperor overnight, but I was robbed halfway. ”

Ling Tiancheng asked, "Snatched?" Who is so bold as to rob you Lord Luo? ”

Luo Ke wiped the sweat from his head and said his guess: "I am in the court with Zhuang Xiang, and I have always been at odds, and this Manchu Dynasty is known to both civil and military.

Recently, the emperor has been very fond of his ministers, and the Zhuang Xiang is naturally jealous.

If these found evidence of guilt are reported to the emperor, he will definitely be a serious crime, so he will definitely have an eyeliner in my house.

As soon as my family went out, they were knocked unconscious and their things were gone. ”

Ling Tiancheng's eyes were empty: "So, Luo Aiqing still has no evidence of Zhuang Xiang in his hands now?" ”

Luo Ke shook his head: "Although there is no empirical evidence, his treason is true and ambitious, and the evidence shows ......, which shows that he still has the ...... to seize the emperor." ”

There is no evidence, and it takes courage for Luo Ke to say such a thing, after all, he has nothing in his hands now, if Zhuang Changyuan does not rebel, then all his words will become slander.

Slandering the first prime minister of the dynasty is also a capital crime.

Luo Ke is now like a fried heart.

Ling Tiancheng was also very anxious, but he had to calm down and patiently asked Luo Ke: "With Aiqing, what will Zhuang Xiang do next?" ”

Luo Ke couldn't sit still, slipped off the chair, and ran back in front of Ling Tiancheng.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to think about it, the entire Imperial Forest Army, as well as the Ouchi guards, are now Zhuang Xiang's people, and the palace and the imperial city are actually under his control.

Now that he knows that I am going to expose him, he will definitely find a way to take the minister's life first.

And since he can kill the family members in the minister's mansion, he will definitely know about the minister's entry into the palace tonight.

Will it be ...... in a hurry, and really ...... in a hurry? On the contrary, it is difficult to say. ”
