Chapter 404: Change
Before Cui Jie left, he guessed that Hu Yanji would take the opportunity to frame him and leave a follow-up move.
He let people spread it in the army, saying that Hu Yanji sent someone to kill the general in order to cover up his crimes, and then framed the general for absconding in fear of crime.
When Hu Yanji returned to the barracks with a belly full of fire, there was already a lot of rumors in the barracks.
Some people even clamored to avenge the general, Hu Yanji didn't expect Cui Jie to be so cunning, and now he can still use the soldiers, the contradictions in the army are escalating day by day, even if Hu Yanji takes out the holy decree, the people who already believe that he killed the general no longer believe it.
In desperation, Hu Yanji took his cronies to the nearby big city, and the city guards were his own people, and on the other hand, he sent people to arrest Ye Lan.
Ye Lan wasted time in order to find his father and persuade him, but the two were still arrested.
Hu Yanji sent out the news, saying that Cui Jie should confess his guilt quickly, otherwise he would kill his comrade Ye Lan.
Within a day, the news spread throughout Pyeongchang.
After Cui Jie found out, he mingled among the people and wanted to enter the city to find out the situation.
In order to force Ye Lan, they locked up Ye Lan's father and asked Ye Lan to call people out.
Ye Lan knew that Cui Jie would definitely come, but he didn't want to drag him down, he still had his own ambitions, he would become a hero who stood up to the sky, and he couldn't harm him.
She pretended to cooperate, "Cui Jie said that he wanted to marry me, you help me find a wedding dress, he will definitely show up when he remembers his vow." ”
Those people thought it made sense, and immediately found a set of wedding clothes, Ye Lan changed into a wedding dress, put on red makeup, and was taken to the city tower.
Someone shouted, "Cui Jie, your comrade is here, don't show up soon." ”
Hu Yanjidao's subordinates pushed Ye Lan forward, "Tell him to come out." ”
Cui Jie, who was mixed with the people, saw that Ye Lan was really arrested, Cui Jie wanted to save him, but his henchmen saw that the city tower was impenetrable, so they grabbed Cui Jie and didn't let him do it.
Ye Lan said in a loud voice, "Cui Jie, you said that you wanted to marry me, and you want to see me marry you in a wedding dress, did you see it?
Cui Jie had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Before you comforted me, after saying that you would become a famous female general like Sister Xie Yan, I am glad that you believe in me so much, now I know that people have different fates, everyone is just struggling, but I don't think my fate is bad, because I met you, and I am happy with you. ”
Ye Lan's eyes were already full of tears, he looked at the crowded crowd under the city tower, collided with someone's eyes, and then smiled.
"Go and be my hero, don't be tired of me. ”
Ye Lan suddenly became difficult, violently pushed away the person holding her behind her, turned over, and jumped out of the city wall, people only saw that the blood-like red fell to the ground, and the blood spread out and soaked into the ground under her.
The people on the city tower didn't expect that she was already determined to die.
At that moment, Cui Jie's heart seemed to be torn apart, and he wanted to kill all the people on the city tower, but he couldn't do it now to pick up her corpse.
When things changed, his subordinates were afraid that he would be impulsive, so they desperately grabbed him.
Hu Yanji was annoyed and angry.
Cui Jie was forcibly pulled away by his subordinates, "Childe, Miss Ye is dead, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Cui family are still waiting for you, you can't have an accident now." ”
Cui Jie's fists were clenched tightly, he knew that the root of everything was in His Majesty, and without his permission, who would dare to touch the prince and the Cui family.
Has he pretended to trust all these years?
There is no way to ask these words.
In the Shang capital, it is even more bloody, before everyone has digested the news that the prince and the Cui family rebelled, and the prince committed suicide in fear of crime, the emperor still began to purge the prince's forces with his left hand, and at this time everyone knew that there were still many people in the court who were loyal to His Majesty himself, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and no one dared to investigate the truth of the prince's case.
Cui Jie hid, and when he learned the news from Jingzhong, he was stunned, he didn't expect His Majesty to do so ruthlessly.
In the vast Shang country, where should we go? How to mention the crown prince and the crown princess for their revenge.
There is no news of Xun'er Xun'er should be sent away by the crown princess, then his situation is also very dangerous, now that the prince has an accident, his forces must be very flustered, it seems that the only way to do this is to guard the dragon forces as soon as possible, find Xun'er, and then hide.
The emperor's movements were fast, and one after another edicts were quickly issued to the states, and Cui Jie became a fugitive completely.
However, after all, the crown prince has been in business for more than ten years, and the emperor needs a lot of time and energy to deal with the affairs within the Shang capital, and the scattered forces are naturally not easy to eliminate.
As soon as the prince died, Cui Jie was their backbone, Cui Jie secretly gathered his forces and notified King Yan of Dingzhou, King Yan is the emperor's younger brother, went to Cui Jie's aunt, husband and wife, flounder love, now the emperor is determined to eradicate the Cui family, I'm afraid my aunt can't avoid it, fortunately, King Yan and his wife are in the fiefdom, and King Yan has a lot of power in his hands, and there is still room for maneuver.
After King Yan got the news, he moved the idea of borrowing Cui Jie and the power of the prince to help him win the throne, Cui Jie has been in business for several years, and with a shout, at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers responded, the emperor has no virtue, and it is okay to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch.
Princess Yan was so sad because of this change that she fell ill.
"Princess, don't worry, this king will definitely avenge his father-in-law's family and Jin'er, you write a letter and ask Cui Jie to persuade the people in the army, when the time comes, we will join forces to let Your Majesty tell the truth and return their innocence." ”
The princess said worriedly, "Your Majesty will definitely not let you go, the prince doesn't have to take such a risk for the concubine, if someone comes from Beijing, the prince will hand over the concubine, and you and the children must be protected." ”
When the prince heard this, he was moved in his heart, "The princess thinks about us, but as a husband and child, how can we hand you over in exchange for a stealthy life, Your Majesty is so ruthless that he doesn't even care about his son, where can he care about my younger brother, we can only protect ourselves." ”
The princess wrote a letter with tears in her eyes, asking Cui Jie to be careful, and then conveyed the meaning of King Yan.
Cui Jie didn't know that King Yan wanted to sit on the throne by himself, but the most important thing for him now was to keep Xun'er, even if he wanted to overthrow the emperor, he wanted Xun'er to inherit the throne, so he could only write back and prevaricate.
In the imperial mausoleum, a trick of stealing beams and changing pillars was staged.
On that day, Lian Jin died in front of Lianyu's eyes, Lianyu naturally believed it, and for insurance, Ning Ming's family was all in the hands of the emperor, so they would not suspect Ning Ming, the prince is now a sinner, so there is no mourning hall, and the spirit is buried in the imperial mausoleum according to the emperor's "grace".
In fact, Ning Ming replaced the poison with a fake death medicine in the side hall that day, and secretly notified the prince's henchmen and asked them to change the prince out of the imperial tomb.
After replacing the crown prince, they took the prince to leave the imperial tomb quickly and headed for Pyeongchang.
Three days after the incident, the prince woke up in the carriage, he was very weak, and after drinking porridge, they told the prince that the princess was overly sad and died in childbirth in the palace, and the newborn little princess also died, but the emperor and grandson disappeared, guessing that the princess should have used some method to send it out, and the Cui family had all been imprisoned.
After hearing this, the prince was distressed and unbearable, his father was so ruthless.
The subordinate took out a letter and handed it to the prince, "This was left by the person who informed us to save His Highness, we didn't believe it at the time, but we just had a glimmer of hope, but we didn't expect to really save Your Highness." ”
The prince opened the letter and saw that it was Ning Ming's handwriting, and this time he understood what Ning Ming meant by leaving.
It wrote that his family was controlled involuntarily, and it also told that he wanted to follow His Royal Highness to complete the great cause, but unfortunately God made people, and hoped that the prince would leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
The crown prince originally thought that he betrayed him because of fame and fortune, but it turned out that he was a knife specially picked out by his father, and his ability was good, in exchange for his trust and dependence, after his father made a decision, he helped his father and complete his mission, such a person can only act according to the wishes of others.
Cui Yue has the Gu given by the old man of the Dian nationality on her body, and she eats poison as a meal, but the poison is overdosed at one time, and she will also have symptoms of poisoning, and then she fakes her death, Ning Ming follows her and knows about it, so she deliberately leads her outside the capital, and she can still have a glimmer of life.
So a day after the accident, Cui Yue climbed up from the mass grave.
The emperor's plan this time was in a hurry, and he gave people a loophole.
The emperor and his entourage didn't know where to go, so they decided to go to Cui Yue, because Cui Yue must know how to contact the prince's other forces.
After Cui Yue woke up, she was still a little dazed, she found a stream, washed her face, and sobered up, now is not the time to be decadent, if something really happened to the Cui family and her sister and brother-in-law, then she must find a way to take revenge.
Then she must live and not be discovered, thinking of this, she took off her eye-catching robe, poured into the muddy water that rolled by the stream, and wiped the mud on her face twice, ready to blend into the city to contact the forces.
Walking on the road, everyone thought that this was a madman from somewhere, and they stayed away.
The emperor and his entourage, dressed as ordinary people, drove ox carts, and the dead soldiers hid among the people who came and went.
When the emperor saw Cui Yue from afar, he only felt familiar, Cui Yue saw them and pretended to be crazy and ran over, "My nephew, you are my nephew." ”
Making a familiar gesture while running, the emperor suddenly recognized her and said with a crying voice, "Aunt Yue, Aunt Yue." ”
Cui Yue learned about the situation of the crown princess and Cui Mansion from them, and looked at Lian Xun who looked at her with tears in her eyes, and immediately made a decision, it is important to protect Xun'er first.
Everyone mixed into the city and first found various places to stay.
The group was cautious, paying attention to the movements in the capital, knowing that the prince had committed suicide, and the princess followed, and the newborn county lord died.
Lian Xun was already stunned on the spot, unable to believe it.
Cui Yue thought that she was already hard-hearted and invincible, but at this moment, the tears still couldn't stop.
There was a sad atmosphere in the dilapidated courtyard, and Cui Yue pulled Lian Xun and kowtowed three times in the direction of Shangdu, "Xun'er, we will avenge them." ”
