When there was chaos in the capital, everyone was caught off guard, and there were people in armor in front of the palace gate, and some people fell in pools of blood, and under the night that should have been dim, fires could be seen everywhere in the capital, or someone broke into the courtier's mansion, or someone captured the maids who had not entered the palace, and screams and roars could be heard everywhere.

The messenger knelt in front of the temple and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, there are rebel troops entering the city, and the four gates of the capital have been lost..."

What?!

Everyone in the Mingguang Hall was so frightened that they got up one after another, and the old prince of the clan shouted angrily: "King Xiling, you dare to rebel!" ”

King Xiling raised his lips and said lightly: "Don't wronged this king, my Yuan family is loyal to protect the great cause, how can I have the slightest disrespect, but Your Majesty doesn't think about the slightest love of the monarch and wants to cut off the bloodline of my Yuan family in the name of plotting retrograde assassination, and this king is just for self-preservation." ”

"This king has never had the heart to mess with the government, but he doesn't want to die like Yinghui back then."

All the people in the temple were discolored.

The prince suddenly stepped forward: "What do you mean?" What is the unknown death of my aunt......"

"Prince!" The Queen Mother scolded.

The prince just looked at King Xiling, as if he didn't hear the voice of the queen mother, and King Xiling looked at the prince and laughed lowly: "Do you really believe your father's nonsense, thinking that Yinghui died because of rebellion?" Princess Yongzhao was so amazing and brilliant back then, and her noble heart has always been the people of the world. ”

"She cleaned up the government for your father, she helped your father to fight in the south and the north to gather the hearts of the army, your father was never a capable monarch, if it weren't for Princess Yongzhao who helped him sit on the throne with one hand, and shocked the court for him to suppress those dissident people back then, where did he come from today."

"If Yingji wants to rebel, this throne has already changed hands, how can it be the turn of Ying Shi to sit?"

Xu Lizhen waited until King Xiling finished speaking, then stood in front of the palace and said: "Princess Yongzhao has never had the slightest intention of rebellion, it is Your Majesty who is afraid of her power, afraid that she will become more and more famous in the court, and wants to take back the military power in Princess Yongzhao's hands and the half of the talisman left by the first emperor, so he set up a bureau to poison Princess Yongzhao, and then washed the princess's mansion in the name of rebellion." ”

"Back then, I was a close minister of Yongzhao Mansion, because I was greedy for the heavy benefits promised by His Majesty and was afraid of the threat of imperial power, so I promised to forge evidence of Yongzhao Mansion's collaboration with the enemy and treason for him, so he was later reused, even if he was suppressed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for some things, he could still re-enter the Imperial Procuratorate again after two years."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard Xu Lizhen's words, and the prince took half a step back with a pale face.

Xu Lizhen said: "I held the handle of His Majesty, in exchange for many years of imperial protection and arbitrariness in the court, even if His Majesty was displeased because of the matter of Cao Yun, and later coveted the Rong family from the dragon's merits, His Majesty just demoted my official position and let me out of Beijing, because I was afraid that I would tell the things of the year, but who wants to ......"

"Who would have thought that the Cui family and the Hu family would still have a living mouth, and even sue the court for what you did in Jiangnan, destroy people, and slaughter courtiers, even the imperial brother can't protect you?" King Kang suddenly spoke.

Xu Lizhen glanced at him: "What the prince said is right, if it weren't for that, Your Majesty wouldn't let people kill me and slaughter me." ”

The hall became frighteningly quiet with Xu Lizhen's words.

The Queen Mother's face was pale and she trembled slightly when she grabbed the handle of the chair, and the prince was not much better.

Even if the surrounding courtiers had guesses about what happened back then, they never expected the truth to be like this.

At this time, when everyone looked at Emperor Tianqing sitting on the golden platform, their hearts were churning, and there were even those who were convicted of Yongzhao's incident back then, and only recently recovered again, couldn't help but grit their teeth with hatred and hatred: "So that's the case, I said that the princess is definitely not a rebel, how could she do that crime!" ”

"Your Majesty, why did you unjustly kill Sister Yongzhao!" King Kang couldn't help but interject.

Emperor Tianqing quietly looked at the people below, looked at King Kang who couldn't help jumping out, and then looked at King Xiling who was smiling as if he was winning, he said in a deep voice: "Although I and Yongzhao are not the same mother, they are also people who grew up together and are close relatives, I have never wronged her, and I don't know what Xu Lizhen meant. ”

When King Kang heard this, he immediately said: "The evidence is conclusive, Your Majesty still wants to quibble?" ”

"The evidence is conclusive?"

Emperor Tianqing's eyebrows were stained with ridicule, "Your so-called evidence is that he is a criminal minister who has repeatedly betrayed the mastermind and murdered people's lives, or does he want to ruin my name in a few words, and King Xiling casually finds someone to make up some statements to cover up his ambition to covet the throne with old things?" ”

And he stood on the golden platform, and said unto all the people in the temple,

"I did suspect Yongzhao back then, and I also felt that Yongzhao acted too wantonly, but she was my sister, and I never hurt her, it was Xu Lizhen who found me with the evidence of Yongzhao's rebellion, saying that Yongzhao colluded with the king of Nanyue Xian to murder me, and wanted to support the young prince to blackmail the Son of Heaven after ascending the throne to cause the princes to disrupt the government."

"I never said that......" Xu Lizhen's face changed drastically.

Emperor Tianqing said coldly: "Naturally, you won't admit it, but at that time, you and I impeached Yongzhao and the excerpt was still in the cabinet, but I ordered someone to find it for you?" ”

Xu Lizhen couldn't help but widen his eyes, he did impeach Yongzhao, in order to win the trust of Emperor Tianqing, his words were extremely vicious, and he couldn't wait to put all the charges on Yongzhao, in order to convict Yongzhao and make it difficult for the people of Yongzhao Mansion to turn over, and he could also take himself out, but he never thought that Emperor Tianqing would actually use it as "evidence".

Xu Lizhen looked at Emperor Tianqing's calm appearance and faintly sensed that something was wrong, with Emperor Tianqing's person, there was chaos outside, and the palace was besieged, how could he be so calm?

And when he talked about the past, his words were too clear, as if he had been prepared......

Seeing that Xu Lizhen's face suddenly turned pale as if he understood something, Emperor Tianqing continued,

"At the beginning, I didn't believe Xu Lizhen's words at all, but who expected that a few days later, when Yongzhao entered the palace to see me, the people around him suddenly burst out and moved towards me and almost killed me."

"I wanted to find out about this matter after I ordered someone to lock her, and I wanted to take back the talisman in her hand in order to ensure the peace of the great cause, but who knew that Yongzhao would rather die than hand it over, and he even found something from the palace of the king of Nanyue."

Emperor Tianqing said coldly about the events of the year, his eyes were clear, as if he was just talking about why he captured Yongzhao, and there was no trace of emptiness on his face.

"Although I am the elder brother of Yongzhao, I am also the emperor of the great cause, and South Vietnam has always been eyeing my great cause, even if there is only the slightest possibility that Yongzhao colluded with the enemy country to betray the great cause, I must not let it go."

"I ordered Xu Lizhen to go to Yongzhao Mansion to investigate, and sent Hu Zhiyi to lead Jin Linwei and the forbidden army to take people, never thought of putting the people of Yongzhao Mansion to death, but when they came back, they said that the people in Yongzhao Mansion resisted to the death, and brought back countless evidence of rebellion from Yongzhao Mansion."
