In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the bright moon is in the sky, and the sky is full of stars, shining.

In the Jiying Palace, the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the military generals who were invited to the palace banquet were watching the newly arranged song and dance performance of Dasheng Mansion with great interest.

Pang Taishi thought about it, but still did not give up, his eyes rolled and he poured himself a glass of wine with a smile, stood up from his seat with a wine glass, and raised his glass to the emperor and said: "The emperor, the queen mother, today the ministers have entrusted the blessing of the virtuous king, and it is really an honor for the ministers to be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor and the queen mother. ”

Master Pang said, tilted his neck, and drank the wine in the cup.

When the emperor listened to the words of the Taishi, the dragon heart was very happy, and he said goodbye and drank a cup of it happily.

When Taishi Pang saw that the emperor drank his toast, his face smiled, but he didn't sit down, but looked around, and then said with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty, I heard that this palace banquet was organized by Concubine Pang's mother, why didn't you see your mother today?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said: "Taishi Xu has eaten too much bar, and the words that come out make people feel funny, when will there be a concubine's seat on this palace banquet? Today, even the queen has not come, what is worth asking if a concubine does not come?"

The emperor coughed twice on the side, and comforted Taishi Pang, who was stiffening: "Taishi....this....Concubine Pang was too tired to organize the palace banquet some time ago, so I let her rest well, and after the palace banquet, I will reward her well." ”

Pang Taishi knew that the emperor was deliberately giving himself a step, so he took advantage of the situation to thank the emperor and sat down stupidly.

King Xian looked around with cold eyes, and found that he didn't see Bao Zheng's figure, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a sneer, he saw Master Pang sit down, so he slowly stood up, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Erchen has lived in Shu for a long time, and he has not heard the song and dance in this palace for a long time. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "This is a new female official in Dasheng Mansion, she is very good at thinking of ideas, and the mourning family and the emperor have never seen such a song and dance before." ”

King Xian smiled and said: "I want to come to the Great Song Dynasty under the governance of Brother Wang, in recent years, there have been many talented people, and now, even this little Dasheng Mansion has hidden dragons and crouching tigers." ”

The Queen Mother was comforted by the flattering words of King Xian, and as soon as she raised her hand, she drank a glass of wine, and Renzong on the side hurriedly said softly: "It's better for the queen mother to drink less, beware of strong alcohol hurting your body." ”

King Xian frowned, looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, and said, "Erchen remembers that the Queen Mother has never drunk any more wine since she practiced the Buddha, how can she .....?"

"Hahaha, Xu is the Queen Mother was so happy to see King Xian, she got carried away for a while, come on, come on, King Xian, you have been away for many years, and this king is also very worried, come, let's have a drink too." The Eight Sages walked up to King Sage with a glass of wine and interrupted King Sage's question.

Seeing that it was the Eight Sages who had saved his life, King Xian had to pour another glass of wine and drink it with King Basages.

Seeing this scene, everyone followed the example of the two of them, and each found someone familiar with each other to toast.

After a round of singing and dancing, King Xian put down his wine glass, slowly walked out of his seat, came to the center of the hall, looked at the emperor with his head high, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, why didn't Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion come today?"

Renzong waved his hand and said: "Yesterday, Kaifeng Mansion came to do it, Bao Zheng suddenly became seriously ill, and he was resting in the mansion for a few days, King Xian looked for Bao Zheng but wanted to drink, hahaha, Bao Zheng's alcohol is very good, you are not his opponent." ”

King Xian said: "It's a pity, the minister is looking for him for a few days, in fact, there is a public case that wants to be tried by him, but since he is not here, the minister has to find the imperial brother to give him a trial." ”

Renzong was stunned for a moment and said, "What is the official case of the emperor's brother? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, what is there to talk about tomorrow?"

"No, the emperor, this matter has been hidden in my heart for many years, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to ask the emperor, ask the eighth prince, and ask the ministers, back then, what crime did the king's biological mother, Concubine Yan, commit?

"Brother Huang, today is the night of reunion, the queen mother has painstakingly set up this wine and family banquet, why do you want to pick these troubles today? Hey, let the past matter pass, don't worry about it anymore. King Lu drunkenly stepped forward to interrupt, and pulled King Xian to the banquet.

King Xian angrily broke free from King Lu's hand and said, "Brother Sanwang said so lightly, it is not your mother who wants to die, and it is not you who is exiled, so it is naturally an irrelevant matter." ”

"You....I kindly advise you, you don't know what to do ....., hum!" King Lu was broken by King Xian's words, and angrily flicked his sleeves and walked away.

The Eight Sages King glanced at the emperor and the queen mother, and saw that both of them were looking at him, and thought: "These two people are really heart-to-heart, and they both look at me at this time, come on, whoever makes me an uncle, I don't come out of the way." ”

Thinking of this, the eighth prince slowly got up and said to King Xian: "King Xian, this matter is indeed the first emperor who fell for someone else's plan for a while, and mistakenly harmed Concubine Yan. ”

"I regret it, but why don't I see my father to make up for it, but let my mother and concubine carry the stigma of a poisonous woman and a jealous woman to this day, and she has been stripped of her title by the ancestral hall, and she can't even enter the Taimiao with her name, and she is still just a lonely ghost, my father does this, but he is worthy of our mother and son?"

"Nonsense," the Eight Sages King reprimanded angrily, "The first emperor did not posthumously crown your mother, and he had the reason of the first emperor, and now that you have been recalled to the capital by the emperor, you should be an idle prince, what is the point of worrying about these old things?"

"Hahahaha," King Xian laughed angrily, "What is the reason of my father? Isn't my father's reason to cover up another royal scandal by sacrificing the life of my mother? Why is it that the Zheng family can still enjoy the title of Queen Mother after doing many evils in the end, isn't it because she has a noble mother, and my mother is from the rivers and lakes, and you recognize her as a demon witch, so it is not a pity to die, isn't it?"

"Shut up, how can you speculate at will about the intentions of the first king?" Seeing that King Xian said the scandal of the year, the Eight Sages remembered to stomp their feet.

"Okay, since you don't return my mother's innocence, then Zhao Zhen, don't blame me for being rude, I want to give my mother a name. ”

Renzong couldn't help but be furious when he heard that King Xian dared to call him by his name, knowing that this person's heart of rebellion had already been deeply planted in his heart, so he no longer bothered with him, and shouted loudly to take down King Xian, but after calling twice, no guards in the palace came forward to arrest King Xian.

Seeing this, King Xian laughed and said, "Brother Wang, now that your order no longer works, why don't you let your subordinate try it and see who your subordinates listen to?"

"Stepping on the ....." A sound of swift and neat footsteps came from not far away, and after a while, a group of palace guards wearing soft armor, hats and helmets, and spears and swords surrounded the Juying Palace, densely packed not to mention people, even a fly could hardly fly out.

Renzong was shocked and said, "Zhao Ling, what happened to your Imperial Forest Army?"

Xianwang Zhao Ling sneered: "The emperor doesn't need to panic, the king commander is unwell and went home on leave to recuperate, and before leaving, he handed over the command to Deputy Commander Li for the time being, coincidentally, this Deputy Commander Li is my person, and now the front and back of this palace are surrounded by airtight winds, I advise the imperial brother to know the current affairs, and announce the abdication to me, otherwise, everyone is ugly." ”

"You....you're crazy," the Eight Sages King was shocked and just came to his senses, pointing at the Sage King and scolding angrily: "You dare to seek power and misplace, this king really regrets it, you should have killed you by the Sage King in the first place, and you won't raise tigers today, you are just a white-eyed wolf....you ....."

The Eight Sages were about to scold, but were interrupted by the Sage King: "If it weren't for the fact that you saved this king in the first place, based on your remarks just now, this king would have cut you with a sword." ”

The virtuous king reversed too quickly, and all the ministers were immersed in the excitement of the banquet, and it was difficult to accept such a situation all of a sudden, but these courtiers were all people who had experienced the wind and waves, and after a while, they reacted to what was going on, and they all followed the mouth of the eight virtuous kings to punish the virtuous king Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling was not angry, as if he had expected everyone to react like this, he only listened to their discussions with a smile, what he cared about was Zhao Zhen's attitude.

Renzong took a deep breath and said: "I am the Ninety-Five, how can I be coerced by the rebellious ministers, if you have the courage to kill me, I want to see who has the courage to do it to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, two figures quickly rushed out from behind King Xian, and came straight to the emperor and the queen mother, it was the yellow bird under King Xian and the missing rouge.

Seeing that the two of them each held a long sword and stabbed at the queen mother and the emperor like thunder and lightning, all the ministers exclaimed, just when everyone thought that the emperor, When the queen mother was about to die, suddenly the emperor took a step forward in front of the queen mother, raised his sword in his right hand, and a silver shining sword blocked the two long swords of rouge and yellow finch, and slapped his left hand forward, and hit the yellow finch in the chest, and the yellow finch was caught off guard by this palm, and flew out backwards in an instant.

On the other side, Rouge was held against the silver sword and couldn't get close, and suddenly felt that the silver sword in front of him was very familiar, and looked up at the emperor, and suddenly found that something was wrong, there were obvious signs of disappearance on the face of the emperor in front of him, and he felt bad in his heart, "Bai Yutang," the name suddenly jumped into her mind, and Rouge shouted: "It's not good, Lord Wang, we have been tricked" But, it was too late, Rouge suddenly felt a numbness in his chest, raised his eyes to look, the Queen Mother standing behind the emperor, I don't know when a silver needle in her hand has pierced her chest, at this moment, the Queen Mother smiled at Rouge and said: "Rouge, don't you like to poison people the most? Now, I will also poison you, let you feel the taste." ”

As soon as the words fell, Rouge was already lying on the ground softly, and the emperor flew up and kicked Rouge out, landing at the feet of King Xian.

Rouge struggled to get up, how could he not use half of his strength, his chest was like being gnawed by tens of thousands of ants, the pain was unstoppable, and he suddenly felt a fishy sweet smell in his throat, and spit out blood one by one.

The Queen Mother slowly walked out from behind the emperor, approached Rouge step by step, and said coldly: "How is Rouge, what does it taste like to be poisoned, my poison will not kill you in a short time, but you will vomit blood every few hours in the future, and you will vomit more and more each time, until your blood is dry." ”

Huang Que slowly stood up and said, "You ..... you are not the Queen Mother and the Emperor, who are you?"

Rouge pulled Huang Que's robe, and told Huang Que Emperor that it was Bai Yutang with his mouth, Huang Que's face changed greatly, turned around to help Rouge, and slowly retreated.

When the two retreated to King Xian, they whispered in King Xian's ear to inform Rouge's discovery, in fact, in the fight between the two of them just now, King Xian found out that there was something strange in it, and when Huang Que told him that the emperor was pretending to be Bai Yutang, he also guessed that the Queen Mother must also be pretending to be her, so the emperor should have known about his conspiracy a long time ago.

The Eight Sage Kings looked at the form, and they had already guessed seven or eight points in their hearts, and he persuaded the Sage King again: "Ling'er, Uncle Wang knows that you have been very bitter in your heart all these years, but your mother has gone, she is going for my Great Song Sheji, the first king and this king are both clear in their hearts, this king promises you, as long as you are lost now, the emperor will never embarrass you, you still go back to Shu to be your virtuous king, okay?"

King Xian listened to the words of the eighth prince, and looked at him as if he was looking at a stranger: "Uncle Eight Wang, you know that my mother and concubine died unjustly, and you don't want to avenge her, and you want this king to admit his mistake, what is wrong with this king," he changed his words, and looked at the emperor again and said: "Bai Yutang, don't think that I am afraid of you if you pretend to be the emperor, you are just one person, and this king has 20,000 imperial forest troops, as long as I give an order, they rush in in one fell swoop, do you think you can stop it?"

Bai Yutang saw that King Xian had recognized himself, and he didn't bother to wear a human skin mask again, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it suddenly, revealing his true face, everyone was surprised when they saw that the emperor was actually pretending, but Bai Yutang didn't care at all, looked at King Xian provocatively and said: "I really can't stop the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army alone, but His Royal Highness King Xian, can you guarantee that you have the ability to dispatch the Royal Forest Army?"

King Xian sneered: "Who is standing outside, are you blind?"

Bai Yutang smiled and said, "I'm not blind, it's the Imperial Forest Army standing outside, but you have the ability to call it again to see if they listen to you?"

King Xian's face changed and he said, "What do you mean?"

"What he means is, Zhao Ling, you are gone, and you will be captured before you are tied" A familiar voice sounded from the Imperial Forest Army, the Royal Forest Army stood neatly on both sides, Renzong strode out of the Royal Forest Army, and followed Bao Zheng step by step.

When the ministers saw the real emperor, they were like seeing the savior, and they knelt down and kowtowed, and for a time "Long live my emperor, long live" resounded in the Juying Palace.

Renzong slowly walked in front of King Xian and said word by word: "I pity you for being alone and helpless, and you do not hesitate to disobey the first emperor to recall you back to Kyoto, but what about you?

"Conscience?" King Xian smiled bitterly, "At the beginning, my mother gave up everything to enter the palace with the first emperor and gave birth to a prince for him, and the first emperor, he listened to slander, and actually believed that my mother was a person of the Demon Sect and murdered the prince, my mother is a Miao person, if you have the heart to harm people, I am afraid that the first emperor has died many times, he does not remember the old feelings, a holy decree forced my mother to death, conscience, where is the conscience of the first emperor?"

"Shut up, how can you comment on the first emperor at will," Renzong rebuked angrily.

King Xian looked at Bao Zheng and said, "All this is your idea, I didn't expect Zhanzhao to kill you." ”

Bao Zheng said: "King Xian, you are a royal family, admired by thousands of people, but your heart is full of hatred, in order to avenge your mother, you did not hesitate to kill so many people, you set up such a big situation, just for the unrealistic dream in your heart, Zhan Guard is kind-hearted, even if you are controlled, but still unwilling to be at your mercy, he did not assassinate me at all, what he said to you is that we want him to tell you, so as to confuse you, you are really still fooled." ”

Rouge said to the side, "Impossible, no one can escape the control of the Dementor Pill. ”

Ruoxi smiled and tore off the mask of the Queen Mother, and said, "You use the Soul Pill, we also have our treasure, anyway, the Zhan guards will not listen to your orders for a long time." ”

After hearing this, King Xian's face was already as pale as earth, he looked up to the sky and sighed, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks silently.

Renzong also closed his eyes tiredly, and after a while, he said to Bao Zheng: "Bao Qing, you take people back to Kaifeng Mansion for trial, I'm tired, everything will be tried by you and the eighth prince together." With that, he dragged his tired body and walked towards the harem.
