Chapter 428: Collaboration with the enemy and treason
"This hall is ordered by the emperor to bring the prisoner Hu Ruijun back to the criminal department, what do you people from the Zhan Wangfu want to stop this hall?!"
The moon hung in the sky, Baili Cheng took a team of officers and soldiers to the front of the Zhan Wangfu, and the guards of the Zhan Wangfu stopped outside the door, and the two faced each other, each refusing to give in.
"The eldest prince, the prince is not in the mansion now, and the little ones really don't dare to make decisions without permission, and ask the eldest prince to forgive their sins."
Baili Cheng sneered. "This palace doesn't care if he is there or not, if you don't let it, you will disobey the emperor's order, and those who dare to disobey the emperor's order will be killed! Break into the main hall! ”
Baili Cheng gave an order, and the officers and soldiers behind him were ready to move, all wanting to compete for a chance to perform in front of the eldest prince.
"What is the eldest prince doing?"
As the saber rattling, a figure walked out of the palace.
Baili Chengyi sneered, and said politely: "It turned out to be the old prince, I don't know that the old prince has returned to Beijing, and he couldn't go to the house to pay a visit, so please don't blame the old prince." ”
The corners of Su Yuanshan's mouth pursed a trace of arc, and he nodded towards Baili Cheng.
"The eldest prince is busy with official business, so he doesn't have to bother, but I don't know what this is doing today, and I ask the eldest prince to explain."
"A few days ago, King Zhan caught a murderer and detained him in the palace without permission, and now the emperor is very angry when he knows it, and asks King Zhan to hand over the murderer immediately, but the guards of the Zhan Palace's palace are very brutal, and they actually prevent the palace from entering, the old prince, the Zhan Palace's palace does this, so how can the palace explain to his father?"
"The emperor's order, the Zhan Wangfu naturally does not dare to disobey, but this matter has always been handled by the dog, the old man is not very clear, the eldest prince might as well enter the mansion and wait for a while, and when the dog returns, he will naturally give the eldest prince an explanation."
If he hadn't learned the news that Hu Ruijun had been rescued, Baili Cheng would not have entered the palace to persuade Emperor Shangzong to let him bring someone to interrogate, and he also found out that Su Yuchen was not in Bianjing at all in the past few days, no matter how good the opportunity was, how could he miss it!
"Old prince, how can you and I be slack off on the emperor's order, let me enter the mansion and search!"
Baili Cheng gave an order, and the officers and soldiers behind him rushed up directly, and the guards of the Zhan Wangfu naturally wouldn't let them in, and the two sides started to move.
"Where has King Zhan gone?" Su Yuanshan looked at the chaotic scene outside the palace, and his brows furrowed.
"I don't know, I just said that I have sent a message to the prince, and the prince will be back soon."
"King Zhan's Mansion is secretly hiding prisoners, and arrest them all in the main hall! Go, send more men, and bring the prisoners back today no matter what! "Baili Cheng came prepared this time, and a steady stream of officers and soldiers rushed in, even if the guards of the Zhan Wangfu were good, they would be invincible with two fists.
Su Yuanshan's face was so angry that his face was dark, but Baili Cheng had the holy oracle in his hand, even if he did this, even if he talked about the emperor, the emperor would scold him a few words at most, and he would not do anything to him!
"The eldest prince, if you want to go to the Zhan Wangfu to bring the prisoners, the old man will not stop you in this matter, but you took so many people to trespass into the Zhan Wangfu, where are you putting the face of the Zhan Wangfu!"
Baili Cheng sneered, Su Yuanshan was old after all, and the momentum of one enemy and one hundred on the battlefield had long been exhausted.
"Your Zhan Wangfu detains prisoners privately, and this palace still wants to ask you what you want!"
Baili Cheng led people to break into the Zhan Wang's Mansion and began to search the Zhan Wang's Mansion like locusts entering the palace.
In the palace of King Zhan, the secret guards hidden in the shadows clenched the swords in their hands one by one angrily, but even so, they couldn't easily attack without receiving the order.
Seeing such a scene, Su Yuanshan was so angry that there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood almost came out.
The dungeon of King Zhan's Mansion is hidden in a basement, and you can't find it at all just by searching in King Zhan's Mansion.
And Bai Licheng didn't seem to be interested in Hu Ruijun's place at all, but directly led people into Su Yuchen's bedroom and study.
"The eldest prince, my subordinates found a secret letter in King Zhan's study!" An officer and soldier ran out of the study, still holding a fire-lacquered envelope in his hand.
Baili took a look at it, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, you Su Yuchen, in vain your father is so good to you, you actually did such a rebellious thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason! This traitor must have secretly sent the prisoner away, and it would be in vain to waste time here, withdraw! ”
Su Yuanshan's mouthful of blood was still in his throat, and he saw Baili Cheng hula and leave with people again.
Leaving the Zhan Palace, Baili Cheng entered the palace without stopping.
In the dormitory of Emperor Shangzong, Emperor Shangzong took a key made of red gold with a focused expression, and slowly inserted it into the keyhole, his expression was tense, as if he was doing an extremely sacred thing.
With a "click", the lock was opened, and Emperor Shangzong's face immediately showed a touch of excitement.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince asks to see you." Wen Dahai bowed outside the door.
Emperor Shangzong carefully put down the lock on his hand and did not raise his head. "What is he doing on the big night?"
Bai Licheng, who was waiting outside the door, his face stiffened, he, the father, can really retire!
"Didn't the emperor let the eldest prince go to the Zhan Wangfu to bring prisoners......"
Emperor Shangzong finally let go of the lock on his hand, and he really forgot about it.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Baili Cheng strode into the dormitory and knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Shangzong.
"Father, how could the sons and daughters never imagine that King Zhan would have such ambitions and dare to do such a thing behind his father's back!"
Emperor Shangzong was stunned by his battle, and reached out to take the letter he held high above his head and looked at it, his face gradually sank.
"Where did this letter come from?"
"It was found by Erchen in Su Yuchen's study."
"Bold!"
"Bang!" Emperor Shangzong slapped the letter on the table, his face was dark and scary, since Emperor Shangzong became obsessed with playing with locks, he didn't know how long it had been since he had seen such a look on his face.
"Su Yuchen? Let him enter the palace to see me immediately! You send someone to block the Zhan Wangfu, don't let a fly fly out! ”
Wen Dahai could feel Emperor Shangzong's anger even outside the palace, and he didn't know what the eldest prince had shown the emperor to make the emperor so angry.
"Yes."
At this time, Su Yuchen's carriage had just arrived outside the city gate.
Ding Xiang turned over and dismounted and took out the token of the Zhan Wangfu, the officers and soldiers guarding the city exchanged a look, and after opening the city gate to let Su Yuchen enter the city, they all stepped forward to surround them.
"Hurry up to the great prince of Ming, the king of Zhan has entered the city."
"Yes."
Ding Xiang saw that the convoy was surrounded, and his resolute face looked extremely gloomy against the background of the night.
"What are you doing here?"
"Su Yuchen, the king of Zhan, colluded with the enemy country to rebel, and the emperor ordered to take people down."
"Tap, Tap, Tap"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Ding Xiang and the others raised their eyes and saw Baili Cheng coming with a team of men and horses.
Baili Cheng ran to the carriage and looked at the carriage and sneered. "Su Yuchen, you collaborated with the enemy and treason, secretly hid the annoying Hu Ruijun, come here, arrest the criminal Su Yuchen to the main hall!"
The curtain of the carriage moved slightly, and a white and delicate hand lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then, a face wearing a veil appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
When the people in the carriage got out of the carriage, Baili Cheng's hand clutching the reins burst out.
"The people's daughter Bird Ling has seen His Royal Highness the Great Prince."
Bai Licheng's eyes were round, and he stepped forward to lift the curtain with a horse's belly and saw that there was only one woman in a plain robe inside, where was Su Yuchen's figure!
"Damn Su Yuchen!" I actually put him together!
"Great Prince, King Zhan entered the city from the north gate, and now he is about to enter the palace!" The people of Baili Cheng drove the horse report.
Baili Cheng turned his horse's head, and the horsewhip in his hand shook his belly violently. "Let's go!"
On the imperial road, a vermilion carriage drove rapidly all the way to the outside of the palace gate.
"Stop, whoever!"
The Praetorian Guards guarding outside the palace gate let out a loud voice.
The carriage slowly stopped, the navy blue curtain was lifted, and the moonlight slowly illuminated Su Yuchen's handsome face hidden in the car.
The Praetorian Guard was stunned for a moment. "King ...... Cham"
"This king has an urgent matter to show the emperor, so don't get out of the way quickly." Su Yuchen's voice was as low and powerful as a guqin, making people dare not resist.
"......"
Just now, the order to arrest Su Yuchen came out of the palace, and the Praetorian Guards were a little embarrassed for a while.
"If you go to Emperor Yuming, you will say that King Zhan has arrived outside the palace gate."
"Yes."
"Please wait a while, when I understand the saint, I will open the city gate for the prince."
Su Yuchen didn't embarrass them, just put down the curtain and waited.
Soon, the messenger returned.
"The emperor asked Su Yuchen, a criminal minister, to meet him."
Even if it is a criminal minister, it is natural that he cannot enter the usual palace to face the saint.
The Praetorian Guards stared at the carriage. "Su Yuchen, don't get off the carriage quickly."
Ding Zheng jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain, and Su Yuchen stepped down from the carriage.
The Praetorian Guard wanted to step forward and bring him iron shackles, but Ding Zheng glared at him.
"Lord, this is the emperor's order, please don't embarrass us."
"Dingzheng." Su Yuchen spoke lightly, and Dingzheng had no choice but to push aside.
The Praetorian Guards stepped forward and shackled Su Yuchen.
The palace gate opened, and a team of Praetorian Guards escorted Su Yuchen to the main hall.
Now it has passed the third watch, and the sky will dawn in less than half an hour.
Emperor Shangzong, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, looking at Su Yuchen who had been deposited with heavy eyes, and his expression was dark and uncertain, and he didn't know what to think.
"Su Yuchen, you really disappointed me!" Emperor Shangzong looked at Su Yuchen and shouted, his slightly hoarse voice carried complex emotions that could not be concealed, as if he was sad from the heart.
Su Yuchen knelt down in the hall. "Weichen has disappointed the emperor's high hopes, and was escaped by Hu Ruijun, and asked the emperor to punish him."
"Bang!"
Emperor Shangzong slapped his palm on the dragon case and pointed at him tremblingly. "At this point, you still don't plead guilty." As he spoke, he threw the letter in front of Su Yuchen. "See for yourself what the hell this is!"
Su Yuchen lowered his eyes and picked up the letter and slowly opened it to read it, and after reading it, he frowned slightly. "The emperor is angry, I didn't expect the eldest prince to have such a thought, and his heart can be punished."
