Chapter Twenty-Nine
Chimang's eyes lit up slightly, suppressed the surging in his heart, buried his head and said in a sonorous voice, "The subordinates swear to follow His Highness to the death, do their best for the great cause of the Cloud Kingdom, and die!" ”
"Hehe, you are my right-hand man cultivated since childhood, and I am reluctant to let you die." Wu Jinghong got up and helped Chimang up, "And Wei Ting, have you found out who was the visitor last night?" ”
Wei Ting quietly appeared in front of Wu Jinghong again, his voice low, "Your Highness, the assassin has the emblem of the Shura Soldier on his body. ”
"The people of Jiuzun?" Wu Jinghong shook his head with a smile, "What kind of brainless person came up with such a clumsy method to destroy my alliance with Jiuzun, and such a loophole method is really too unsightly." ”
Wei Ting hung his head for a long time and continued, "Maybe it's not the person from King Shura, it must be from Shuo Kingdom." ”
"How so?"
Wei Ting hesitated for a moment, handed out a small package, opened it layer by layer, and Wu Jinghong could gradually smell the smell of blood.
"Wait!" Chi Mang stepped forward to stop Wei Ting's movements, "Your Highness, don't look at such filthy things!" ”
"Filth?" Wu Jinghong sighed lightly, "As evidence that he is from Shuoguo, it must be a part of his body, right?" Or the flesh, or the lips and tongue, or the fingers, tendons, veins, etc., but there are just some more blood stains, no problem. ”
Wei Ting waited for a while, and when he saw Wu Jinghong waving his hand, he still opened the package, "Shuo is located in the northernmost part of the Great Plains, near the desert, most of the Shuo people are born tall, with a straight and long nose, thin lips, slender eyes, and rough skin. Even in the neighboring country of Ju, just because it does not directly border the desert, the people of Ju are born whiter and thinner. ”
Wu Jinghong listened carefully, and at the same time, his eyes did not leave the blurred mass of flesh and blood in the package, which was almost unformed.
It seems that Wei Ting has dealt a ruthless blow to this assassin. These things can be used as evidence to prove that he is from Shuoguo, but in fact, after being stripped of his body, he changed his appearance, and it cannot be used as a reference, but it is better to say that Wei Ting did it intentionally.
"According to what you mean, this person must have nothing to do with King Shura?"
"Subordinates can't assert."
Wu Jinghong thought for a moment and beckoned to Chimang, "Where did he go today?" ”
"Last night he drank on the top floor of the pavilion, and then left the Xianwu Building and went to the palace, and he has not returned."
"The Imperial Palace?" Wu Jinghong hooked his lips, "I don't know what kind of attitude my father will have this time, after all, he entered the palace twice and said to be the same thing...... By the way, General Nangong's wedding date is approaching, why didn't he appear in the imperial capital? ”
"General Nangong was ordered to go to Nanyang Town a month ago, it is said that there are horse bandits composed of small groups of displaced people, and a messenger has come back two days ago to report that General Nangong will not return in a day."
"I see." Wu Jinghong happily stroked his palms and said, "Chimang, summon Qimang back for the time being, Wei Ting went to tell his father that Jinghong wants to return to the palace!" ”
The Eighteen Emperors Rebellion brought not only the pain of the people to Yunguo, but also the turmoil of the royal family.
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Qianming, Princess Jinghong of Yunguo fell seriously ill and disappeared in front of people, and the emperor and queen both fell ill and struggled in the illness for three years.
In the sixteenth year of Emperor Qianming, Princess Jinghong appeared in the imperial capital, and her elegance was more prosperous than three years ago! It is a miracle that the emperor and empress were completely cured overnight!
For a time, the legend of Princess Jinghong was circulating in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital of Yunguo, stealing the limelight of General Nangong, who was victorious and triumphant.
It is rumored by everyone that Princess Jinghong was enlightened by immortals three years ago, and she has been practicing in retreat for three years, and now she is immortal.
It is rumored that Princess Jinghong has pity on the people in the world and only wants to end the war as soon as possible, so she went to the national ancestral hall to pray for the blessings of all beings in the world and open the valley for three years.
It is rumored by everyone that in order to protect the peace of the world, Princess Jinghong voluntarily cut off the love thread and contributed to the good deeds of General Nangong and Miss Hongyun.
Rumors......
"See the princess, Her Royal Highness the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose-"
In the early days of this day, the civil and military officials witnessed the miracle of Princess Jinghong's resurrection, and confirmed the remarks circulating outside.
Wu Jinghong stood beside the emperor, dressed in a gorgeous costume, and the golden silk phoenix flew on the bright yellow long skirt, reflecting the emperor's dragon robe, and the momentum was extraordinary. There was an indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth, and a cinnabar fire phoenix mark was added to her eyebrows, which set off her eyes more majestic, not inferior to the emperor on the dragon chair.
"Up-" Grandpa Huai saw the eyes of Wu Hong, and shouted in a long voice.
When all the ministers stood up one after another, their eyes either hesitant or excited, or indifferent or curious, Wu Jinghong bowed his head lightly to the emperor and took a few steps forward.
"Presumably, you Aiqing have some doubts about the return of this palace, and some people may even doubt the true identity of this palace, so this palace will give you a chance, and those who have problems will take a step forward."
There was a sound of surprise in the queue, but it quickly disappeared.
The eyes of the dancing frightened crossed everyone's faces one by one, and the old prime minister looked loving, relieved, and full of tears. General Mao's eyes were burning, as if he had a thousand words to say to her. And Nangong Chen, the handsome and upright man with a face like cold frost, his eyes were full of doubts, and he stared straight at her.
Undaunted, he smiled and nodded to everyone who made eye contact with him.
"Since no one among you has expressed his position, then this palace will take this matter as a brush, and Hugh will use this matter to annoy my father in the future." Although he was smiling, Wu Jinghong's words were unquestionable, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised, Her Royal Highness the princess was not such a character in the past, and she would not speak so toughly!
"The next thing this palace wants to say is very important, please think twice and answer, don't be impulsive." Wu Jinghong's smile grew stronger, and her voice became more relaxed, making all the officials think that what she was going to say was a good thing, but who knew that she changed her words and quickly said, "Where is the Imperial Doctor?" ”
"Old, old minister." The one-year-old minister walked out tremblingly, with a panicked face.
"This palace asks you, three years ago, someone in this dynasty colluded with other countries to bring witchcraft into the palace, do you know?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall burst into an uproar.
"Witchcraft?!" Doctor Yu Shi screamed in surprise, almost fell to his knees, raised his head and shouted, "The old minister is wronged!" The old minister really doesn't know about this! Her Royal Highness the Princess, please! ”
Wu Jinghong didn't look at the Imperial Doctor, and said to the hundred officials who were in an uproar in the court, "You all know that the magic of witchcraft was banned by Oharara hundreds of years ago, but three years ago, there was still a witchcraft flowing into the palace, do you know what this means?" ”
The voices of the ministers gradually dissipated, and the eyes of all kinds of emotions stared at her, some waiting for her to say one, two, three, and some to see what she could say.
Wu Jinghong turned his head and glanced at the emperor, and the emperor's eyes were burning, full of expectation and pride.
"After hundreds of years of tranquility, the carrier continent has begun to decay!" Wu Jinghong's voice was sonorous and powerful, standing on the high platform and looking down on the ministers with a posture of looking down on the world, "You think that you have supported this peaceful world for the people of the world, but you don't know that you are all wicked people in the mouths of the people!" ”
"You are not satisfied with the status quo, your desires are inflated, and you even do not hesitate to use the hands of other countries to murder this palace!"
"You are covering up your crimes under the nose of your father, covering up with each other, and trying in vain to maintain your peace!"
"You think that the law does not blame the public, even if the matter is revealed, the father and the emperor will not be able to move you at all, you can only go to other countries to take revenge!"
"Look clearly! This is who you are! Sinister and ugly, selfish and reckless, audacious, and rebellious! ”
"Listen to this palace - this cloud country is the world of dancers! You can't take it away, no one can take it away! ”
Dance Jinghong sentence by sentence, unhurried but full of momentum, majestic but still with a light smile on his face, the face of the hundred officials said pale, the two trembled, one after another stood unsteadily, kneeling on the ground.
Not all, sporadically kneeling down, almost all of them are elderly court ministers, headed by Yu Shi Dafu, Taiwei, Dongfu County Taishou, and other veteran-level important ministers leaned down one by one and knelt on the ground.
The emperor's eyes on the dragon chair darkened, and he sneered again and again.
Do these old fools think they are over half a hundred years old? Do you think you're such a bully? What is the difference between colluding with other countries to murder the royal heirs and plotting to usurp the throne! It's really a bear's heart and leopard gall!
Maybe it's not the same as in the past when Jinghong came back this time, so it's better to take this opportunity to establish her prestige, and start with these old things!
So, on the evening of the same day, rumors in the imperial capital changed again, saying that Princess Jinghong appeared in the court and won all the old ministers of the court in one fell swoop, some were solved on the spot outside the palace, some were put in prison waiting to be beheaded, and some were so frightened that they were incontinent and talked crazy and confessed their crimes.
The imperial capital of Yunguo seems to be no longer peaceful for a day, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty have knelt outside the imperial study for a day, pleading for the old ministers, and some of them have slightly questioned the identity of Princess Jinghong, but they were soon suppressed.
In the imperial study, the emperor's face was blue, he was furious, and he slapped the case again and again, "Bastard thing!" An old horseman! Are I a dead man? ”
"Your Majesty, don't hurt yourself." Father-in-law Huai persuaded him distressedly, the dragon table case has not been replaced for several years, but I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it.
"Humph! I haven't found out yet, there are so many! The emperor said angrily, and when he turned his eyes to look at Wu Jinghong, his eyes changed, and he said happily and distressedly, "It's a shame that Jinghong's remarks have scared their dog's guts!" ”
Wu Jinghong was sipping tea, his face was not shocked, "Father, don't comfort your sons, these people you recruited are not the masterminds, but your sons can see it." Master, what do you say? ”
Sitting next is the tiger-eyed Mao General Mao Fanting, who is sitting there in a regular manner, and also gives people the impression of a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he is at this time with thick eyebrows upside down, his eyes are full of fierce light, his hands are clenched into fists on his knees, and the whole murderous aura leaks out.
