Early in the morning, a loud noise suddenly came from the Golden Palace, and the silence of the entire imperial city was completely broken in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Leader of the Holy Domain, Yan Chong, the most respected figure in this Holy Domain, was actually angry at this moment, his eyes were round, his face was blue, the green tendons on his forehead were flushed, the muscles on his cheeks on both sides were undulating one by one due to the clenching of his teeth, and the body sitting on the throne was trembling slightly because of anger.

Emperor Yan Chong would be so angry, this kind of angry scene is rare among the ministers in the court.

Now the people standing in the Golden Palace trembling are not only the four holy kings of Yan Yi, Yan Lie, Yan Zheng, and Yan Hao, but also nearly a hundred ministers of the Holy Domain. On both sides of the gate of the Golden Palace, there are the mighty Golden Guards and Silver Guards, they are dressed in armor, all of them are holding swords and standing behind the ministers with solemn faces, giving everyone in the hall a sense of extreme fear and depression. It has been several months since there has been such a big battle in the Golden Palace of the Imperial City, and the ministers vaguely remember the last time such a solemn and solemn scene was when Han Xiao, Lu Haoqian, and Lan Shixun were the three powerful ministers.

And today's court meeting is undoubtedly a life-and-death battle for every Sacred Domain minister present, because only when the emperor is angry and wants to kill someone, he will make the gold and silver guards enter the temple with a knife at the same time, none of the people present are fools, and everyone is hanging a boulder in their hearts at the moment, and they don't even dare to raise their eyes to look at the emperor, because they are all afraid that the emperor will spill his anger on his head, and then become a ghost who died in vain in this golden palace today.

"A bunch of bastards!" "Emperor Yan Chong pointed at His Royal Highness's ministers with his trembling right hand, and scolded angrily, "You can't even manage a small Jinling City, how can you assist this emperor in governing this Yangyang Sacred Domain?

"The minister is guilty...... Your Majesty is angry!" As soon as the ministers heard Yan Chong's words, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and they fell to the ground one by one, full of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Okay!" Yan Chong took a deep breath, and then he calmed his breath a little, and then looked at the Manchu Dynasty minister with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Let's talk about it one by one now, and convict one by one!

As soon as the emperor said this, the Shengdong King Yan Yi, who was standing at the front of the ministers, immediately trembled with fright, and then defended in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I hope Your Majesty will be aware of ......it."

"Shut up for me!" Before Yan Yi finished speaking, Emperor Yan Chong suddenly shouted angrily with an indifferent face, and suddenly blocked Yan Yi's wail like killing a pig, "What I'm asking now is do you all know?"

"Yes......" the ministers replied intermittently.

"Okay!" the Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a frustrated and angry voice, "In the middle of the night, hundreds of black-clothed people armed with sharp knives suddenly appeared in my Jinling City, and these menacing killers were blatantly walking on the streets of Jinling City, and the Emperor wanted to know, where were the city soldiers in charge of the night vigil patrol in Jinling City when these black-clothed people appeared last night?"

"This ......" As soon as the emperor said this, the commander of the Jinling City Army kneeling behind him in the hall trembled with fright, and beads of sweat from the size of the bean instantly seeped out of this person's forehead...... Ministers are dead......"

"You deserve to die!" The emperor behaved like an angry lion at the moment, only to see him staring at the commander of the city army with fierce eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Your duty as the commander of the city army is to protect the safety of Jinling City day and night, but last night there were rampant bandits in Jinling City, hundreds of people swaggering around the streets of Jinling City with murder weapons, you as the commander of the city army, you didn't even know about it, the emperor was very curious about what you were doing last night?"

"Minister......" The commander of the city army sweated like rain, his face was pale with fright, and he couldn't even knot his tongue when he spoke, "The minister set up a defensive ...... in the camp last night"

"Full of nonsense!" Without waiting for the commander of the city army to explain, the emperor suddenly picked up the inkstone on the dragon book case, and smashed it towards the commander of the city army kneeling below, accompanied by a loud sound of the inkstone breaking, countless fragments scattered everywhere, hitting many ministers, but even so, no one dared to dodge, only to see the emperor glaring angrily at the commander of the city army, and said in a cruel tone, "Do you think that the emperor has no idea about your every move?" At sunset last night, you hurriedly left the camp and went straight to the Moon Tower, where you had a private meeting with a woman named Lan'er, and you lingered with this woman in the Moon Tower all night, if it weren't for the emperor's strict order to summon the ministers to the palace in the early morning, I'm afraid that you, a dog, are still lying in the gentle township to make your spring and autumn dreams, right?"

"Minister...... The minister is guilty...... Please let His Majesty the Emperor calm his anger......" The commander of the city army saw that the Emperor had exposed his lies, and even trembled with fright, and kowtowed to the Emperor one after another.

"This emperor doesn't have a courtier like you who is inferior to pigs and dogs!" The emperor shouted in a deep voice, "The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the Jinling City Army has a commander like you, how can it bring out any loyal soldiers?

"Your Majesty spares ......"

"Come on, drag this dog thing down for me and behead it, the Jinling City Army will reorganize military discipline, strictly investigate from top to bottom, and anyone who participates in corruption and pleasure will be beheaded!"

"The minister is here!" Before the emperor's words fell, Yin Mo, who had a cold face, stood up.

"I'll leave this matter to you! If you can't do it, you won't have to come back alive!"

"Yes!" Yin Mo respectfully agreed, and then under his orders, the two silver guards rushed up to the hall to drag down the wailing city army commander.

Seeing this, the ministers were even more frightened and did not dare to raise their heads, some cowardly old ministers only felt that their eyes were black at this moment, and their heads were dizzy, if it were not for the emperor sitting high in the palace, I was afraid that they would have been frightened to death.

"Okay! Let's go on!" Ling Huang sneered and nodded, "The purpose of these black-clothed people last night was very clear, that is, to wash Lu Haoqian's door with blood! This emperor heard that the sound of fighting and wailing in the Lu Mansion last night spread all over the audience, and many people around were so frightened that they couldn't sleep all night, and they heard all this clearly! Hehe......" Saying that, Ling Huang suddenly sneered, his laughter sounded like the call of death at this moment, which was terrifying, "Not bad? Jinling City, the center of the entire Sacred Domain, has become a battlefield overnight, so if there is another disaster in other parts of the Sacred Domain, this emperor should feel normal? Even the people are still so poor under the eyes of the emperor, let alone other places?"

The emperor's words made the dynasty embarrassed.

"Although Lu Haoqian was degraded, no matter how he used to be the emperor's confidant and beloved minister, he was the Duke of Wen Ding of the Holy Domain! The Duke of Wen Ding was still blatantly bloodbathed in Jinling City, so didn't the ordinary people of the Holy Domain say that they would kill him? Is there still a royal law in this world?" The Emperor squinted slightly and glanced at everyone kneeling in the hall, "The Emperor really wants to know, who has the courage to dare to take the Emperor so indifferently?

"This ......" was asked by the emperor, and none of the Manchu ministers dared to answer.

"Why? don't you know?" the Emperor sneered, "The ordinary people of Jinling City know about it, and you powerful ministers who are high in the world don't even know? You had better tell the Emperor honestly what you know, otherwise you will be derelict in your duties, or you will deceive the Emperor, and either one is a capital crime! The blades of the Golden Guard and the Silver Guard are behind you, and the Emperor will not hesitate to lose you courtiers, and he will definitely regain his majesty today!"

"Yes...... King Shengdong ......"

"It is rumored that those black-clothed people are shouting to avenge Prince Yanze......"

"The people of several streets heard that those people were the subordinates of the King of Shengdong......"

"People who have such a deep hatred with the Lu family, looking at the entire Jinling City, there is only the Shengdong King......"

......

Under the threat of fear for their lives, these ministers simply no longer had any worries, and told the emperor the news they had gotten one by one, and this growing momentum also strengthened the courage of these ministers, and the courage to accuse Yan Yi is getting bigger and bigger.

Looking at Yan Yi again, he was about to be blown up by anger at this moment, only to see that his eyes were red and his face was pale, and the muscles on his face were shaking with anger.

In fact, the emperor has long been aware of this, and the reason why he wants his ministers to say it is to confirm the crime of King Shengdong.

"Yan Yi!" Finally, after a moment of noise in the Golden Palace, the Emperor finally pointed the finger at King Shengdong, "What do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty!" Before Yan Yi could speak, Yan Zheng, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly pleaded with a sad face, "I hope that Your Majesty will find out the truth about this matter and then convict King Shengdong, so as not to wrongfully accuse the innocent......"

"The matter has come to this, and the city is full of storms, isn't this really evidence?" The emperor looked at Yan Zheng with some annoyance, "Yan Zheng, I know you have a good heart, but Yan Yi has really gone too far in this matter, even if the emperor wants to forgive him, he is afraid that the people of the world will not agree!"

"Your Majesty! King Shengdong has just lost his beloved grandson, and it is natural for him to have a grudge against the Lu family! Yan Ze is also a blood relative of our royal family, although he acted a little impulsively, but after all, he died at the hands of Lu Yifan, and this incident alone is enough to convict him of the death penalty of the Lu family, King Shengdong may be a little anxious, but please also ask Your Majesty to read it for the sake of his brothers, and don't pursue it anymore......" Yan Zheng couldn't help crying bitterly as he spoke.

"Yan Zheng, stop me!" However, for Yan Zheng's 'kindness', Yan Yi didn't appreciate it, only to see him staring at Yan Zheng with angry eyes, and said angrily, "I didn't send someone to besiege the Lu family at all, you don't pretend to be a good person here to intercede for me, this king is not guilty, why do you need to pretend to be here!"

"Yan Yi!" the emperor looked cold, and shouted loudly, "Yan Zheng is kind enough to help you intercede, but you don't know what to do, but instead repay virtue with grievances, how can this emperor have a brother like you who does not distinguish between good and evil!"

"I'm not guilty!" Yan Yi roared frantically in the Golden Palace, "The Lu family really deserves to die, but I didn't send someone to kill them! This matter is a blame for this...... Yan Yi said that, he looked at Yan Zheng who was silently wiping away tears with red eyes, and then said with a cruel smile, "It's him! He must have framed me! He first framed me for injustice, and then pretended to be a good person to intercede for me, it was him!" Everything was done by Yan Zheng......

"That's enough!" Linghuang was furious, only to see him suddenly get up and walk quickly to Yan Yi, and then before Yan Yi could react, Linghuang actually raised his foot and kicked Yan Yi in the chest, and kicked Yan Yi to the ground at once, "Bastard thing! You still dare to quibble with ironclad evidence, you don't admit your guilt, you even bite like a mad dog, framing the brother who helped you intercede, what are your intentions?"

"Your Majesty! King Shengdong ...... because he lost his beloved grandson" Seeing this, Yan Zheng stepped forward to intercede, but unfortunately before his words fell, he was indeed interrupted by a sudden wave of his hand from the emperor.

"Yan E, the emperor is also very sad about the death of Yan Ze, but the emperor has already said yesterday that this matter will be thoroughly investigated and given you a satisfactory explanation, but you actually took the initiative to send people to wash the Lu family in blood, do you still have me in your eyes?" The emperor was angry and sad at the moment, and his gaze at Yan Ze became extremely entangled.

"Lu Yifan killed Ze'er, the Lu family should all die!But I didn't make the decision on my own......" Yan Yi looked directly into the eyes of the emperor with an unyielding look of preferring death, "But there is one thing I want to ask His Majesty the Emperor, and no matter who the Lu family is surrounded and killed, they are all innocent, because they robbed the relatives of the royal family and killed the people of the royal family, I really don't understand why Your Majesty is so angry for a small Lu family? Isn't the people of my royal family important? The face of my royal family is not important......

"Smack!"

Before Yan Yi's words fell, the emperor suddenly raised his hand and slapped him fiercely, and the sound was so crisp that the Manchu courtiers trembled with fright.

"The face of my royal family is all lost by you and your indisputable grandson!" said the emperor through gritted teeth, "What face do you have to mention the face of the royal family? What qualifications do you have to mention the face of the royal family?"

"I ......"

"Okay, don't you want to know the real cause of Yan Ze's death? This emperor will tell you now!" said the emperor, raised his eyes and said to the Golden Guard Commander standing at the door, "Zhao Wuyang, tell him everything you found out yesterday!"

"Yes!" Zhao Wuyang agreed, and then hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Yesterday I have sent someone to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs between Prince Yan Ze and Lu Fu, first of all, the real cause of death of Prince Yan Ze is not the knife that everyone saw Lu Yifan side-striking on the neck of Prince Yan Ze, but after Prince Yan Ze fainted after being hit by Lu Yifan's blow, he was secretly palmed and shattered the dantian, which caused the soul power in Prince Yan Ze's body to run wildly and then shatter the muscles and veins of the whole body, and the qi and blood flowed backwards into the heart and spleen, seriously injured the five organs, and finally died violently!"

"What?" As soon as Zhao Wuyang's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, especially Yan Yi, and at this moment, his old eyes were full of horror.

"What do you mean...... After Lu Yifan made a move, there was another person who gave Ze'er a fatal blow?" Yan Yi asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Zhao Wuyang replied bluntly.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know!" Zhao Wuyang said again, but before the disappointment flashed on everyone's faces, Zhao Wuyang suddenly changed his words, " However, after I tortured and interrogated him last night, the head of the guard who had followed Prince Yan Ze to the Lu Mansion to make trouble inadvertently told me a very important thing, that is, after he received the orders of the Prince of Yan Ze yesterday, he hastily transferred some house slave guards from the Shengdong Palace, and when he was leaving, he distributed swords to these people one by one, and at that time, the leader counted the number of swords, and distributed a total of one hundred and eighty-three, that is, there should be one hundred and eighty-three people who followed Yan Ze and the leader of the guards to the Lu Mansion at that time! But after I arrived at the Lu Mansion with my people yesterday, the guards of the Shengdong Palace, including this leader, were only one hundred and eighty-three. In other words, there is one less person in this time! And this person is most likely the real murderer of Yan Ze Gongzi! Because according to what everyone present said at the time, Yan Ze Gongzi was surrounded by all the guards as soon as he received a blow from Lu Yifan, and during this period, if someone mixed in with the guards and took advantage of the chaos to give Yan Ze Gongzi a fatal blow, not only could he hide people's eyes and ears, but it was even easier to make a silent move!"

"Then have you found out who is missing?" Yan Yi hurriedly asked.

"No! Since the guards who followed Prince Yan Ze yesterday were all temporarily drawn from all over the Shengdong Palace, and there were even some ruffians in the market mixed in, there were many people who didn't know the leader of this guard, so he didn't know who was missing in the end, and we had no way to find out!" Zhao Wuyang replied bluntly.

"Bai Qi!" The Emperor turned his gaze and shouted loudly, "It's time for you to speak!"

"Yes!" Bai Qi hurriedly replied when he heard this, "Yesterday, I took Bai Yinwei to the Lu Mansion to search several times, but I didn't find Han Ling'er!"

"This ......"

"This is the face of the royal family you want to preserve!" "The Emperor Ling glared at Yan Yi with a blank face, "Whether it is robbing the relatives of the royal family or killing the people of the royal family, they have nothing to do with the Lu family, but it is actually your grandfather and grandson who have repeatedly gone to the trouble of the Lu family, and now it is all over the city, I believe that it will not take a few days for the entire holy area to treat this matter as a joke, this emperor really regrets that he agreed to marry Han Ling'er to Yan Ze, and he has simply lost the face of my royal family!"

"Your Majesty, I ......"

"There's no need to argue, that will only make the emperor look down on you even more! For the sake of being the emperor's brother, this time the emperor will spare you for the death penalty and will not investigate it further!" "The emperor's eyes were full of grief, and he waved his hand in a tired tone and said, "In vain, the emperor used to be so important to you, you don't have to assist the emperor in Jinling City in the future, go back and pack your things now, go back to your Dongjun to think about yourself!"

Yan Yi looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, and only after he stopped talking a few times did he nod lightly with a bitter face, and his eyebrows were full of frustration. I saw him glance at Yan Zheng who was kneeling beside him with disdain, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and finally he didn't say anything, he stood up slowly, and staggered out of the Golden Palace.

And just as Yan Yi's lonely back left the Golden Palace, Yan Zheng, who was kneeling on the side, had a very inadvertent flash of smugness in his eyes.

......
