The government and the opposition unanimously rumored that Li Yanlin did not pass on the jade seal of the country. He only has the current Empress Dowager to ensure that he ascends the throne, although he did not pass on the jade seal, he is also the crown prince, and he is the next heir to the throne of the righteous Shun, the emperor suddenly contracted an illness and died, even the imperial doctor also confirmed.

Therefore, although the emperor Li Yanlin has been tyrannical after ascending to the throne, it can be regarded as justifiable.

"How can this heirloom jade seal be in your hands?" Cheng Junbao couldn't believe it.

Li Zhengyan put away the heirloom jade seal, wrapped it in a brocade box and put it in his arms, the heirloom jade seal never left him closely, he said: "Otherwise, why do you think Li Yanlin wants to kill King Ning and King Xiang?" Moreover...... Before the emperor's death, the most trusted courtier was me. ”

Cheng Junbao had no doubts about Li Yanlin's accession to the throne, but he had some doubts about Li Yanlin's instructions to King Xiang of Ning, and he ordered the two people to be headed immediately, and there was no need to leave them alive. This kind of extermination, he is still a brother, although he is a disciple taught by himself, his whole family is in the hands of Li Yanlin, and he can't say anything.

Thinking like this, he raised his head suddenly, stared at Li Zhengyan in a daze, and said, "What do you mean, is it true that he is killing the king and seizing the throne?" Before the emperor died, he handed over the jade seal of the country to you, just so that you could protect King Ning and King Xiang? ”

"Or else?" Li Zhengyan was very natural, remembering the fire that burned in the mansion, and the mechanism he laid with his own hands was destroyed, and at the same time, it was also the mechanism he laid with his own hands, killing his cronies.

Qin Weiwei looked at Li Zhengyan's solemn expression, and continued: "General Cheng, do you remember the fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Naturally remember...... "Cheng Jun couldn't stay in Kyoto, and he was in his hometown to live for the rest of his life, so that the new emperor and his family went to the court to congratulate him, who knew that he was detained like this." The fire, but the whole of Kyoto rarely worked together, they didn't believe that Li Zhengyan rebelled, and everyone in Kyoto helped put out the fire.

Qin Weiwei continued: "In that fire, He Wanqing and He Gonggong also died inside. He was already injured when he appeared in front of our husband and wife, and he was chased by the fierce people all the way, and then sent the heirloom jade seal to us. ”

"I see. No wonder Li Yanlin declared to the outside world that Father-in-law He has been recuperating for a long time. ......" Cheng Junbao suddenly realized that He Wanqing was the emperor's confidant, and he did not appear, which had already made the court elders suspicious.

It turned out that he had already died.

Qin Weiwei heard it from this fierce voice, this upright old man already completely believed what they said. Although Cheng Junbao has fully believed in them, it does not mean that they can fully believe in Cheng Junbao.

He can let go of the country's righteousness for the sake of the family, this kind of person can be used but not worth entrusting. A person who has already joined the army should dedicate all his friendship, otherwise there will only be people on the battlefield who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

In Li Zhengyan's arms, in addition to the jade seal of the country, there are also the edict of succession and the letter written by Li Ji himself, of course, these two things cannot be taken out. Under the guise of taking Li Yuanxin as a pretense is a fact that everyone else in the country now believes.

Li Zhengyan said: "General Cheng, you have already betrayed the first emperor once, do you want to betray the second time?" ”

"Old man......" Cheng Junbao was ashamed, after all, he was already old, he had a group of children and grandchildren under his knees, and he had long forgotten the bloody wind on the battlefield, and he only had family fun in his mind.

"What you mean by this is that you want to abandon the national righteousness. You're just a timid coward. Li Zhengyan looked at Cheng Junbao.

"Old man......" Cheng Junbao became more and more empty when he was stared at by Li Zhengyan, and he simply said: "The old man's life is here, if Mr. Li wants it, just take it." ”

"How much do you think your life is worth? You want to trade your life for the life of your whole family? In the future, your son, grandson, or great-grandson will follow your example and be a timid coward! Qin Weiwei sneered coldly, she never stopped laughing at people, but poked her heart and continued: "Or, do you think that if you die, your family will be able to live." Li Yanlin is the apprentice of the martial arts you taught by yourself, he didn't even let go of you, the master, not even his own brother, now there are real benevolent and righteous people in front of you, but you don't want that villain? ”

"Don't say it again!" Cheng Junbao's ears turned red, and Qin Weiwei really took an invisible knife and only stabbed him in the heart. He had already admitted defeat and said, "What do you want to do next, the old man will definitely cooperate." ”

"It would have been nice to say it earlier. Even if you die in our hands, Li Yanlin will never let your family go. Your reputation is gone, and now you still have the face to see your ancestors. Qin Weiwei continued lukewarmly.

"In this case, General Cheng Junbao, please personally escort King Ning and King Xiang back to Beijing together." Li Zhengyan smiled, with Cheng Junbao to bring back, he would at least fight a few fewer battles.

"Don't worry, the old man will do it. It's just one thing, you must promise the old man. Cheng Junbao was very excited and directly shook Li Zhengyan's hand.

Li Zhengyan stared coldly at the hands of the two, and did not rush to withdraw them, but said: "Don't worry, I will help you save the lives of your family." ”

Qin Weiwei went out and called the little military doctor back and asked him to take good care of the two of them.

This time, at the stop of Mosha City, both the Li family army and the Mosha army were injured to varying degrees, but compared to what Wang Cheng was harmed, it was already much better.

Qin Weiwei made an inspection of the military doctor's place, and the military doctor's tent was busy coming back, and she happened to go with Li Zhengyan to find Li Mian and Li Qing.

Li Mian said: "Mosha City has already taken care of everything, and the news will not leak out, don't worry." Originally, Feng Chu was the only one sent by Kyoto to be able to contact the above. The rest of Feng Chu's henchmen had also been controlled. ”

"That'll be fine." Li Zhengyan is very satisfied, what they are most afraid of now is that the news will leak out, if there is a fight in the country, it will be ordinary people who will suffer!

Feng Chu and Wang Cheng, Qin Weiwei and Li Zhengyan have already discussed, the two of them are going to take them away, they are so seriously injured, they don't have to worry about escaping if they are staring at them.

Qin Weiwei thought about it and asked, "By the way, we don't have good news now, do you know any major news from Kyoto, come and tell us." ”

Li Mian said: "There hasn't been any special news recently, but there is one that even we feel is too much. ”

"What is it?" Qin Weiwei asked.

Li Mian continued: "Didn't you last time that many of the women who were favored by the emperor were released after giving the silver, the reason is that the emperor didn't like it enough. Now there is a more egregious message, which is already definite news. The queen is in charge, and some of the concubines in the harem are dismissed, and among them, there are also concubines. ”

"Even doing something like this?" Even Li Zhengyan was shocked, Li Zhenglin can be said to be relying on the throne and doing whatever he wants!
