The suburb of Luoxi City.

In the study, Murong Ling Che sat in front of the bookcase, listening to Ling Er's report on the affairs of Ziling's border pass, his face did not have any waves, this result was already expected by him.

Rubbing the dragon head ring in his hand, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said indifferently, "Yan Su, how is the situation?" ”

"Back to the prince, when Ziling and Jing Ge started the war yesterday, Li Quan, the personal guard next to the prime minister, took the 30,000 elite soldiers borrowed by Emperor Luo Xi and wanted to quietly return to the Ziling Imperial City, except for Li Quan, who had been watching them all along the way. Later, the secret guards disguised themselves as Li Quan and the 30,000 elite soldiers, and when they arrived outside the imperial city, they connected with the secret guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and half of the secret guards trained by the Prime Minister had been wiped out by us. Lord Wang, please rest assured, the remaining ones, the secret guards will also be solved as much as possible. ”

Ling Er said, his eyes were also shining, the prime minister's party was about to be destroyed, and it was one step closer to the realization of the great cause of the prince.

Murong Ling's dark eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, Yan Su This is the plan, the two armies are barriers, watch from the wall, and take advantage of the civil strife at the border pass to attack the imperial city in one fell swoop, surround the palace, and force Murong to abdicate.

When he was at the Ziling Border Pass, Yan Su had arrived at the border pass, but he only stayed for one day before returning to the Ziling Imperial City.

It is estimated that he came to borrow troops from Luo Keluo at that time, after all, if the 200,000 troops at the border pass returned to the imperial city without authorization, they would definitely be walking in the wind, so they had to secretly return to the imperial city with Luo Xi's 30,000 elite soldiers.

Yan Su returned to the imperial city early in order to join forces with the 30,000 elite soldiers, but he probably didn't expect that the 30,000 elite soldiers and the secret guards who responded had been completely annihilated.

Even if those elite soldiers arrived in the imperial city smoothly, after hearing that Ling Yunqi had reappeared, he would not dare to act again, and now that the evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and treason is conclusive, I am afraid that there will never be a day to turn over.

The peace document of the Three Kingdoms was delivered to the Purple Ling Emperor Murong Jinglan in an expedited document of 800 li the day after the retreat.

In the early dynasties, Murong Jinglan wore a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair of the Jinluan Palace, and after the retreat of the Three Kingdoms, he regained the heroic and majestic Son of Heaven.

"The Three Kingdoms withdrew their troops, and the peace document sent asked me not to pursue the siege of Ziling Kingdom by the Three Kingdoms and continue to abide by the friendship covenant of all countries, what do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms openly tore up the friendship covenant of all countries and raised troops to attack our country, and now because they are afraid of the power of Lingyun Cavalry, they withdraw their troops to negotiate peace, and now they turn around and ask us to continue to abide by the covenant, which is simply too deceitful."

Tobe Shangshu said indignantly that he was resentful of this blatant provocation.

The Ministry of Rites also agreed with the views of the Ministry of Households, and stepped forward and said, "Since it is a peace, it is inevitable that we will put forward the conditions, and the three countries should cede a piece of the border pass to our country, and pay tribute to our country every year." ”

"Your Majesty, isn't it clear that we are afraid of the Three Kingdoms now that we have agreed to negotiate peace, since we have Lingyun Cavalry in charge, it is better to take advantage of the retreat of the Three Kingdoms, we will attack on a large scale, destroy the Three Kingdoms, and unify the Thousand Continents." Zhonglang took Shen Han forward and said.

"Never."

Taiwei Yang Mingchang stepped forward and said, "Now that Ziling's domestic crisis has not been resolved, the treasury is empty, and if the border passes are fought again, I am afraid that it will lead to a difficult life for the people." If the Three Kingdoms really join forces to attack our country, even if Ling Yun is one enemy and ten, plus Ziling's million-strong army, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the army of the Three Kingdoms, and it will be difficult to retreat in the end. The reason why the three countries will withdraw their troops is also because they are afraid of Lingyun Cavalry, if they insist on fighting, the four countries will not be able to take any advantage. ”

Murong nodded in surprise and sighed slightly, "What the Taiwei said is reasonable, and this is also something I am worried about right now. So according to Aiqing, how can I reply to the Three Kingdoms? ”

"The only way to do this is to agree to make peace. However, we must not lose face in our country, and we can agree to continue to abide by the covenant and no longer pursue the siege of the three countries, but we must not compromise on the issue of post-war compensation by the three countries. ”

"According to what Aiqing said, Xiao Shunzi, the purpose."

After Murong Jinglan prepared three post-war matters, he sent someone to send them to the Three Kingdoms quickly.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the world knows that Ling Yunqi only obeys King Ling's orders, and now that Ling Yunqi has returned to the border in this world, does it mean that His Royal Highness King Ling is still alive?"

After settling the Three Kingdoms incident, Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly stepped forward and spoke, and when he heard this, all kinds of different voices suddenly appeared in the hall.

Murong Jinglan's face also changed slightly, and his expression slowly returned to normal, "I also thought as Aiqing thought, after the retreat of the Three Kingdoms yesterday, I summoned Ling Xiao, the commander of Ling Yunqi, to return to the imperial city, intending to ask him about the news of the imperial brother, but Ling Xiao refused to return to the imperial city on the grounds that the border was unstable and the general could not leave the account at will. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, this Ling Xiao dared to resist the decree so arrogantly, and some ministers wondered if King Ling had the intention of rebelling.

"Your Majesty, Commander Ling Xiao risked disrespecting the decree, presumably because he was worried about the danger of the border pass, and he didn't want to rebel, after all, he would not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside." The criminal department Shangshu continued.

Some of the ministers nodded in agreement, some looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Prime Minister Yan Su, who had been silent since the early dynasty.

If it were in the past, the prime minister would definitely not let go of any opportunity to be unfavorable to King Ling, but now, it is indeed very abnormal.

Taiwei Yang Mingchang glanced at the prime minister, his eyes showed unclear feelings, and then he stepped forward and spoke, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

"What's going on with Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the prime minister for collaborating with the enemy and treason." Zhengse said, aggravating the tone of the words "collaborating with the enemy and treason".

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and they all turned their attention to Prime Minister Yan Su.

Yan Su raised his head suddenly, and looked at Captain Yang Mingchang with resentment in his eyes.

Yesterday, he received the news that the secret guards sent to answer and Luo Xi's 30,000 elite soldiers were all annihilated, and in a hurry, he immediately sent the remaining secret guards to investigate the matter, but no one survived.

Now that the Lieutenant is so clear that he wants to impeach him, does he already know his secret? Or were those people killed by his people?

Squinted slightly, and then stepped forward, his expression was as usual, without a trace of abnormality, "The emperor is clear, what the Taiwei said is purely a frame, and it is absolutely impossible for the minister to do such a treasonous thing." I don't know why the captain slandered his true appearance for no reason? ”

Murong was also shocked when he heard this, looked at the prime minister thoughtfully, and said after a while, "Do you know who you impeached?" The charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason is not small, can the captain have evidence? ”

Of course, the minister knew that it was the prime minister, and if there was no evidence, the minister would not dare to openly slander the prime minister. Please allow the emperor to bring the witnesses to the court. ”

Yan Su's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but panic when he had always been calm, and his palms were already sweating slightly.

"Exactly." Murong Jinglan squinted slightly, it seems that Taiwei really has evidence of Yan Su's treason with the enemy, what an old fox, he didn't expect to do anything for the sake of his throne.

A gray-clothed man was brought up in the main hall, his hands tied behind his back, and the ministers recognized him as Li Quan, the prime minister's personal guard.

Seeing Li Quan, Yan Su's face changed slightly, and he also confirmed what Fang Cai was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister arrived at the border pass a few days ago, not to prevent Luo Xi from taking advantage of the fire to rob, but to cooperate with Emperor Luo Xi and borrow 30,000 elite soldiers from Luo Xi, intending to take advantage of the Three Kingdoms to attack our country's border pass, send troops to surround the palace and force the emperor to abdicate."

"Taiwei, you are fabricating this out of thin air, intending to frame the prime minister, Li Quan was expelled from the prime minister's mansion a few days ago because he betrayed the prime minister, what can the Lord Taiwei explain when he brought him up?"

Yan Su's words were fierce, and he said indignantly at the captain.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, can you explain the problem, please listen to the next official. The day before yesterday, when the border pass was in turmoil, and when the war with Jing Ge began, Li Quan was ordered by the prime minister to rush to the imperial city with Luo Xi's 30,000 elite soldiers, and was intercepted by His Royal Highness King Ling on the way. Later, King Ling's personal soldiers disguised themselves as the 30,000 soldiers and horses and arrived in the imperial city, and before entering the city, they connected with the prime minister's secret guards, and now the secret guards in the prime minister's mansion should be all left. ”

After the captain finished speaking, there was a sigh in the hall, and the prime minister and his party panicked, for fear of implicating themselves, and the rest of the ministers also looked at each other, presumably unbelievable that the prime minister had rebelled against the enemy.

Murong listened quietly and frowned slightly, "Captain, you just said that it was King Ling who eliminated those Luo Xi elite soldiers?" Does the Taiwei know where King Ling is now? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister has not seen His Royal Highness King Ling, Li Quan and these evidences were personally sent to the minister's mansion by King Ling's personal soldiers, as for the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Ling, the minister does not know, he can only confirm that His Royal Highness King Ling is indeed still alive."

As he spoke, he presented the evidence in his hand.

After Murong was shocked to read it, he was immediately furious, "The evidence of the prime minister's collaboration with the enemy and his intention to rebel is conclusive. Someone came, took off the prime minister's black gauze hat, put him on death row, and beheaded him on a certain day. ”

Yan Su sat paralyzed on the ground when he heard this, all the secret guards he had cultivated over the years had been destroyed, and the general trend had gone, so he could only accept his fate.

Yan Su was taken down by the guards, and Murong continued in shock, "Outside the order, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be raided on the same day, all the property in the mansion will be confiscated, and all the family members will be put in prison for disposal. ”

Seeing the prime minister being taken down, the faces of the prime minister and his party all changed drastically, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and while trembling, he finally heard Murong's shocked and cold voice come out.

Raising the roster in his hand and shaking it, "The roster is full of ministers who conspired with the prime minister to participate in the rebellion. All the relevant ministers were put in prison, and the Criminal Department had full authority to investigate and deal with the matter, and it will be dealt with after it is investigated. Retreat. ”

Murong was furious, threw the roster to the ground, flicked his dragon robe, waved his sleeves, and strode out of the court.

All the ministers involved were taken down, and the prime minister's party in the court was completely purged.

The ministers who supported King Ling were thrilled when they heard the news that King Ling was still alive.

Today's Ziling Dynasty is divided into three factions, the royalist party, the Ling Wang party and the neutral faction.

In the future, no one knows what kind of development it will take. xh:.74.240.212
