"The lower officials are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that His Royal Highness will be infamous for rebellion and leave an unsightly mark in the annals of the Qi Kingdom!"

Ning Zhengjie said coldly.

The temperament he exuded made Duanwang's eyes bloom, as if he saw her figure.

"This king said that if Lord Liuning lives, he will not break his promise, and Lord Wangning will not want to gain an inch."

Ning Zhengjie was about to fight back, but his shoulders suddenly sank, and King Kang behind him put his hand on his shoulder and patted it gently.

"Lord Ning, please let me go." King Kang nudged Ning Zhengjie away, took a step forward, and skillfully protected Ning Zhengjie behind him.

He smiled and said to the king: "Fourth Emperor Brother, why rush for a while? ”

"The left and right jade seals have been repaired, and they can't return for the time being, why don't you let these people evacuate the Xuanyi Hall first and give your father some time?"

King Duan raised his eyebrows and glanced at King Kang, King Kang's expression was sincere, but he didn't have any credibility.

"You want to stall for time? Waiting for whom? Waiting for Xie Yunyan? ”

King Kang shook his head, "Lord Xie went out of Beijing to pursue Lian Rong, and I don't know when I will return." Even if he returns, the thousands of Praetorian Guards in his hands will not be the opponent of the Four Emperor Brothers, right? ”

King Kang glanced at the outside of the palace meaningfully, "The imperial brother can calmly enter the palace, there shouldn't be only the people in the Xuanyi Hall who are the imperial brothers, presumably the entire palace is surrounded by the imperial brothers, right?" ”

Duan Wang looked at King Kang quietly, the younger brother in front of him was weak, and his face still had the pale whiteness before he first recovered from a serious illness, but his brain was the most sober one in the audience.

Seeing that he didn't answer, King Kang suddenly smiled and said, "Or is the whole of Kyoto under the control of the imperial brother?" ”

Duan Wang clasped his hands around his chest, "So what? ”

"Then let my father be pure and pure, and if my father has figured it out, he will naturally issue an edict." King Kang said softly.

King Duan was sure that Xie Yunshen would not arrive in Kyoto in two days at the earliest, and the only opponent in Kyoto who held the power of the army was General Lin.

General Lin is also trapped here, and there are almost zero people who can save the emperor.

Sensing that King Duan finally had a look of hesitation, King Kang stepped forward in pursuit of the victory, and said lightly: "I will comfort my father for the imperial brother!" ”

"What's more, Concubine Lian's funeral still needs to be handled by the imperial brother, right?"

"The imperial brother can't let Concubine Lian die, and he has to be buried with the position of a concubine, right?"

At the mention of his mother, a trace of regret flashed in King Duan's eyes.

"Well, this king will give you half a day, the sun is setting, this king wants to see the edict of the throne and the will to posthumously crown the mother concubine as the queen!"

King Kang nodded again and again, "Okay." ”

King Duan ordered Xiang to send some more men to surround the Xuanyi Palace, and placed all the officials in the side hall of the palace.

Before the matter is over, no one can leave the palace to prevent leakage.

He walked on this court road that he had walked countless times, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more gloomy.

There were only a dozen officials and two princes left in the huge Xuanyi Palace.

Father-in-law Su wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, so nervous that he could not speak a complete sentence clearly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, minions, for—"

"No need." The emperor stopped Gonggong Su's words, raised his hand and beckoned, summoned King Kang to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

King Kang shook his head solemnly and said: "Back to my father, my son's ministers are just a delaying tactic, if it weren't for my father's broken jade seal, I'm afraid my sons won't even be able to buy these time." ”

The emperor sighed deeply, "You have a heart. ”

He was afraid that he was confused, and he actually had a glimmer of hope for King Kang.

King Kang has only been in the office for a short time, not to mention the power, I am afraid that there are few people in the house.

How is there a way to solve the dilemma at hand?

"General Lin, are your subordinate generals still in Kyoto?"

General Lin put his sword into the sheath and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, there are 8,000 men and horses stationed five miles outside the city. ”

"Eight thousand are afraid to hit a stone with an egg - that evil obstacle is a prepared man, I don't believe that eight thousand soldiers and horses can shake his rebellion." The emperor's mind had already calmed down, and he calmly analyzed the situation in front of him with General Lin.

"Father, the son has a plan-" King Kang pursed his lips and finally made up his mind to speak.

Emperor: "It's the worst situation, you have no plan, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

King Kang twisted his fingers and said to the emperor, "The plan of the sons and daughters wants to discuss with their father and the emperor before informing others-"

The emperor immediately got up and walked to the corner of the Xuanyi Palace, followed by King Kang.

"Say?"

King Kang glanced at a few people not far away, covered his mouth with his hand, and leaned into the emperor's ear.

……

Ning Shu's eyelids jumped violently, and when she heard Yuan Wu's report, her heart suddenly sank, "Someone surrounded the Guogong Mansion?" ”

Yuan Wu nodded: "Yes." It looks like he's still an official. ”

"Could it be someone left by the Lord to protect Madame?" Long Shan asked.

Yuan Wu shook his head, "Impossible, the master's manpower is not insufficient, and it is impossible to arrange people from the government to protect the Guogong Mansion without informing us." ”

Ning Shu had a faint bad premonition in her heart, she got up and said to Yuan Wu: "Yuan Wu, you go to Ning Mansion and see how the situation is there!" ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wu also sensed the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly retreated.

Not long after he left, the janitor hurried to find Ning Shu.

"Madam, His Royal Highness Duan Wang has come down—"

Seeing his panicked look, Ning Shu had already guessed what was going on in the front yard.

When I hurried to the front yard, I heard the sharp mockery of the Duchess from a distance.

"This is the Guogong Mansion, not His Royal Highness's Duanwang Mansion, Duanwang is such a courtier's wife who doesn't know the number of etiquette, and he is not afraid of people's jokes when he says it?"

Grandpa Guo had a gloomy face, looked King Duan in front of him up and down, gathered his usual playful look, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, this is unreasonable. ”

"Xie Guogong." King Duan smiled faintly, "This king wants to find Ning Shu of the Ning family, not your daughter-in-law of Duke Xie Guo, why is it not unreasonable?" ”

"What do you mean?" The Duchess rushed forward with a white face at the moment, "Your Highness is also a descendant of the royal family, and the courtiers really dare not imagine that such shameless words would come out of His Highness's mouth." ”

Ning Shu's heart sank even more.

King Duan was able to come to the Guogong Mansion to find her so blatantly, obviously it was his people who surrounded the Guogong Mansion outside the door.

This means that he is no longer afraid of words, or that he is sure enough that no one who knows will open his mouth!

Could it be that —

Ning Shu walked out with a gloomy face, and said far away to the front yard: "Father, mother." ”

Duanwang's patience had long been worn out in the Xuanyi Palace, and he was just about to teach the Duchess a lesson, when the haunting voice finally came from the corner.

The three of them looked at Ning Shu together, only to see Ning Shu looking at King Duan with cold eyes and asking, "Now I don't know whether it is better to call His Royal Highness King Duan, or His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Duan Wang smiled comfortably, "Sure enough, he is smart, and he deserves to be the person I like." ”
