Pan Guangyao briefly talked about the battle situation before he spoke, and said that the old prince Murong was injured and was now sent to the palace to recuperate. The reason why Pan Guangyao returned to the palace was because he received a clear order, and the officials of the various ministries who came to the palace to take up their posts immediately from now on without delay.

Hearing that Murong Huan was fine, Shen Mu felt a little relieved, and when he heard that the saint had come, he was shocked in his heart.

Immediately bowed his hand and said: "Prince Pan, there will be a reluctant invitation in the end, I don't know if the prince can borrow Shen Mu's courage!"

Pan Guangyao liked Shen Mu quite a lot, but Murong Huan, who heard him, often say that this person often went off the rails, and he didn't know how clever Shen Mu was going to tremble, so he asked carefully: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Mushen was mysterious, and said in a low voice: "The last general wants to invite the prince to the main hall of the palace to verify the body of the saint!"

Pan Guangyao was frightened by Shen Mu's words and took two steps back: "You kid is looking for death...... In case of...... It's going to kill your head. ”

Shen Mu Zhengse said: "Doesn't the prince want to know the reason? Now that there are no important ministers in the palace, as the prince, you can approach the coffin with just a random reason." We...... We're not going to destroy the corpse, we're just going to take a look and recognize it. Let's see if it's true!"

Pan Guangyao frowned and said, "What do you mean ......?"

Shen Mu said: "The saint's burial is what the hundred officials saw with their own eyes, and now he suddenly comes back to life, which is really suspicious, this sounds disobedient, but in the event of a national event, it has to be verified." Otherwise......"

Pan Guangyao said: "This king understands what you mean...... There are naturally true and false in these two saints, you are worried about ......" Pan Guangyao said here, and the shock in his heart was even worse than seeing Emperor Yongning coming.

Shen Mu was right, if the one in the coffin was fake, there would be no problem, and if the one in the palace was fake, then it would be ......

This matter cannot be slackened, Pan Guangyao led Shen Mu and hurriedly entered the front hall.

There were only a few guards left in the front hall, and two eunuchs were cleaning the inner hall.

Seeing Pan Guangyao, the two eunuchs bowed and bowed to the ground.

After all, it was a step too late, and the coffin in the hall was long gone. Pan Guangyao asked the two eunuchs, and the two said that Fang Cai Yu Linwei had already carried the coffin into the carriage and transported it away from the back door, but he didn't know where to transport it to be placed.

Pan Guangyao and Shen Mu glanced at each other, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't afford to think about it, so they rushed out of the door and chased straight to the back garden of the palace.

I didn't want to go to the backyard door, but I didn't see any traces.

Pan Guangyao was puzzled: "It's strange, where are these people? How can they walk so fast carrying the coffin?"

Shen Mu pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Oops...... Let's go to the back garden. As he spoke, he ran away and flew to the back garden.

When Pan Guangyao heard this, although he didn't know why Shen Mu was so nervous, he had to keep up.

When he felt the back garden, he saw Shen Mu standing alone by the pond in a daze.

Pan Guangyao stepped forward and asked, "Shen Mu, what are you looking at!"

Shen Mu took a breath, pointed to the calm lake water, and said, "We're late, I'm afraid the coffin is already in this pool." ”

This pool is where Shen Mu met Chen Ping and Princess Wanqing that day. Shen Mu thought that since Yu Linwei did not carry the coffin out of the palace, he would definitely bury it on the spot to blindfold his eyes and ears. And this pool is the best place to sink the coffin.

So when Shen Mu rushed over, when he saw that there were still some water streaks echoing on the water, although he hadn't seen Yu Linwei's coffin with his own eyes, he also knew that he had guessed correctly!

Before Pan Guangyao could speak, he saw two eunuchs running over.

Seeing Pan Guangyao, one person took a breath and said, "Lord Wang, the sage has a will, please finish your work and rush back to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Pan Guangyao answered, and Xie arrived. Looking back at Shen Mu, he said, "Don't think too much...... Now take one step at a time, this king will enter the palace first, and you will return to Beijing with me!"

Shen Mu thought that since this coffin had sunk into the lake, according to his own ability, he could not get it out for the time being. At the moment, there is nothing to do here, so it's better to go back to the palace and wait first.

Even after taking the salute, Yu Pan Guangyao and his party quickly whipped up and returned to the capital.

Along the way, Shen Mu thought about a lot of things, and strung together the changes that had occurred in the past few days.

When he was about to enter the Inner Nine Cities, Shen Mu invited Pan Guangyao to a secluded place, and after glancing at the lack of people around, Shen Mu said: "Lord Wang, the last general has something to say, Lord Wang might as well listen to it." ”

Pan Guangyao saw Shen Mu's solemn expression, and knew that he must have a lot of advice, so he said, "You don't ...... okay to say."

Shen Mu said: "The prince entered the palace today, and the danger is even worse. If Shen Mu's guess is good, the sage must have asked the hundred officials to discuss how to deal with King Qi and the others. The prince listened to Shen Mu's words, and the prince would not discuss any crimes involving the prince. As for the crimes of Geng and Tao, the prince must stick to it. It is not a pity that the two kings of Geng and Tao died, and the saint hopes that the hundred officials will support him. However, King Qi and King Zhao are royal children, and even if they are wrong, they can only be decided by the saint alone. ”

Pan Guangyao said: "Shen Mu, how did this king hear that there is something in your words?"

Shen Mu sighed: "It's just that Shen Mu is to blame, now that I think about it, the words that King Xiaoyu once said are the most important thing in this incident!"

Pan Guangyao frowned: "What did King Yu say? He is a yellow-haired boy, but what can he see?"

Shen Mu said: "King Yu once said that the saint was thin and weak after a stroke, and his stature became shorter. At that time, I thought it was due to the saint's illness, and I didn't take it seriously. At present, it seems that all this is a situation set up by the saint, which also explains why the celebrant has been ignoring the matter of the prison state,...... The real current saint is the sword pointing at Geng, Tao Erwang, and even ...... Even includes you and Murong Wangye! As for the coffin in the palace being sunk into the pool, it was to destroy the corpse...... makes people think that they are not dead, and even uses this method to confuse the public!"

Shen Mu's so-called "confusion" involved many people...... It not only includes Empress Naruhito, King Qi, Wanqing, Inner Chambers and even the Cabinet!

This is a big move!

And Shen Mu's conjecture is a bit bold and even more reasonable.

Almost in a word!

Thinking about it carefully, Emperor Yongning seems to have made a plan a little earlier. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to place all five battalions of troops near that hillside with such accuracy.

If Emperor Yongning was nearby early in the morning, it means that he had been watching the battle from the sidelines......

Pan Guangyao didn't dare to think about the next thing, and he didn't want to think about it.

If this is the case, then I am afraid that it will be difficult to end well when I enter Beijing this time......

Pan Guangyao pondered for a moment and muttered: "What you said is not unreasonable, this king knows how to do it......"

Shen Mu said again: "All dynasties, the monarch of the world, the words of the last general, the prince is clear! The last general can't enter the palace, and I ask Prince Pan to help take care of my lord!"

Pan Guangyao responded: "Okay." Go home, this king knows how to deal with it!"

Royal Palace, nightfall.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall.

The hall was silent, and there was a solemn atmosphere.

Emperor Yongning was sitting on the dragon chair, staring at the trembling and silent ministers in the hall, silent for a long time.

After a long time, Emperor Yongning coughed dryly: "Everyone, let's talk about it...... What should these people do with these things these days?"

The ministers remained silent.

They did not dare to speak.

At the moment, no one even knows what is going on.

Emperor Yongning glanced at the ministers: "What's the matter? Usually, you are all talkative and boastful, but now when I ask you to speak, you have all become dumb...... Yuan Tingzhen, as the first assistant of the cabinet, you can talk about it!"

Yuan Tingzhen's whole body was shocked.

Emperor Yongning in the palace is indispensable, looking at all things.

He is like a flat boat, stormy and stormy.

Yuan Tingzhen bowed slightly: "Minister...... The minister thought that Geng Zhong and Tao Yanji should be punished for their crimes, but the ancestors of the two kings had merit in my Yunzhao...... Emperor Wu once issued an edict that the four princes' mansions will be passed down forever and will never be ......" Saying this, Yuan Tingzhen suddenly felt that Emperor Yongning's face changed slightly, and he became that kind of angry appearance.

What is the situation? Could it be that the saint wants to attack the two kings? This kind of expression...... It seems that you will not be able to pass the test by preparing a sleek rhetoric.

Yuan Tingzhen's mind changed, and he continued: "You must never use troops and horses without permission, but the two kings bring troops into Beijing without permission, and such behavior should be punished as treason and rebellion." ”

Yongning sneered, as if he could see through the pause in Yuan Tingzhen's words. Emperor Yongning said: "Yuan Aiqing, then according to the law, what punishment should the two kings receive?"

Yuan Tingzhen said: "According to the law, the nine clans should be punished, and those who participate in this matter should be decided, and their wives and children should be assigned to Yugu, and they will be slaves forever!"

Emperor Yongning said: "Huang An, isn't this the reason?"

Gonggong Huang, who was standing beside Emperor Yongning, hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to the saint, what Yuan Ge Lao said is true!"

Emperor Yongning was quite satisfied, and looked at the ministers: "Do you have any objections to Aiqing?"

The ministers were silent, and the disposition of Geng Zhong and Tao Yanji was surprisingly consistent.

Can it be inconsistent, looking at Emperor Yongning's expression, he knows that he has murderous intent.

Emperor Yongning saw that the ministers were silent, and sneered again: "I really don't understand, Geng Zhong and that Tao Yanji have a close relationship with some of you, and now that they have an accident, you don't even have a single one to speak for them...... It's chilling. No wonder they are waving the banner of "getting rid of the villain, making it difficult for Yasukuni"! Some of you are really this "villain"!

The ministers are walking on thin ice, and this sentence is like Emperor Yongning talking about himself again. hurriedly shouted in unison: "The ministers don't dare." ”

Emperor Yongning said: "Dong Wancheng, as the Great Sima, Yu Geng Zhong and they have the most intersections, in your opinion, is Geng Zhong guilty of punishing the Nine Clans?"

Dong Wancheng said: "Raising troops without permission is an unforgivable crime." ”

Emperor Yongning said: "In this case, Huang An will pass on the decree! Give Geng Zhong and Tao Yanji a decisive decision, and at noon tomorrow, behead the public." As for the nine tribes, I remember that God has the virtue of a good life, and since I ascended the throne, virtue is in line with the hearts of the people. Strip off the title of the second king, give him nine clans to lead the northern desert, and future generations will not be allowed to enter the court!"

Huang An responded, "Yes." ”

Emperor Yongning said: "The two kings have been convicted, tell me how to deal with my good sons, right?"

The ministers were shocked again.

It is understandable to convict the two kings, but to convict the prince will make the ministers even more confused!
