Chapter 443: What was searched by the traitor was just a fake
"Zhichao, the king probably already knows what happened in the capital, but I don't know what the situation is on the emperor's side?" The prince of Guangling looked at Lingyun Dao with blazing eyes.
Ling Yun said: "The emperor was imprisoned in the deep palace by Li Ruiyun, there were many organs outside, and the guard was tight, and the emperor looked forward to the prince arriving in Beijing as soon as possible to save the emperor from the clutches of traitors." ”
The prince of Guangling frowned slightly and said, "Since the internal organs are heavy and heavily guarded, how did you get in touch with the emperor?" ”
In front of the father and son of the prince of Guangling, Ling Yun was naturally open-minded and did not have the slightest obscurity and reservation.
He immediately recounted the thrilling circumstances of that night: how to get in touch with the emperor through Ding Jiying's "matchmaking", how to sneak into the inner hall late at night, secretly meet the emperor, how to open his heart to the emperor and show his heart, and how the emperor entrusted him with the secret decree of life and death......
only said that the father and son of the prince of Guangling sighed, and sighed that a traitorous minister like Ding Jinzhi could actually raise a good son like Ding Jiying.
"By the way, what about the emperor's secret decree? Oh my God, it won't ...... It can't be the one that was destroyed by Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan, right? ”
Zhao Xu thought of that crucial matter, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, and his anxious gaze turned to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun almost invisibly rolled his eyes at him, "Cousin, do you think your cousin is a brainless person?" The secret letter given to me by the emperor is related to the life and death of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I easily hand it over to those treacherous people with ill intentions? ”
"Oh? You mean......" Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, interested.
Ling Yun's eyes turned slightly, and he said leisurely: "When the emperor entrusted that secret decree, the letterhead was not sealed, and I thought about it, and I had already planned for what might happen afterwards. Later, after repeated consideration, I re-developed a new copy according to the original secret decree, and it was this fake that was searched by Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan at that time. ”
A hint of amazement flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes, "I said it!" is worthy of being the commander of the guards in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department for so many years, my cousin's mind is delicate, and he does things without leaking! ”
Ling Yun smiled lightly.
The prince of Guangling twisted his beard and bowed slightly, and then took over the topic and said: "Well, the letterhead is not sealed - the emperor is really the emperor, take precautions, and your knowledge is lofty; It can also be seen that the emperor trusts and relies on you! ”
"The prince is serious." Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little cramped.
"I didn't say anything serious," the emotions in the eyes of the prince of Guangling gradually became thicker, with a little deep meaning, "Zhichao, you have now become a big celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and I, as an uncle, should be happy for you!" ”
"Uncle," Ling Yun had a wry smile on his face, "Please stop sarcastically mocking this unconscious nephew, let's get down to business, okay?" ”
"This king has been talking about business all along!" The prince of Guangling didn't admit that Fang Cai's topic had gone astray, he looked at Ling Yun solemnly, "Tell this king, where is the real secret decree now?" ”
"......" Ling Yun couldn't help but complain in his heart, but his expression was solemn, "I put it with two friends." I wonder if the prince will allow them to come and meet? ”
The eyes of the prince of Guangling flashed, and he said eagerly: "Needless to say, hurry up and bring them here to see this king!" ”
"Yes." Ling Yun gave a deep salute to the prince of Guangling, and then turned around and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
Looking at Ling Yun's long and tall figure in the distance, Zhao Xu turned his face and smiled at his father, "Dad, how is it?" Now I can finally come up with strong evidence and prove my judgment with facts. You won't say I'm reckless and out of bounds, right? ”
The corners of the prince of Guangling's mouth rose in a shallow arc, and he knocked his head with his hand and said, "Stinky boy, waiting for your father here!" ”
Outside, the faint smoke and mist fluctuated, and the half-light and half-dark earth looked blurry and treacherous in the alternating black and white twilight.
Ling Yun brought Lian Nanchun and Lian Beiqiu brothers and sisters to meet the prince of Guangling.
The prince of Guangling raised his eyes and saw Lian Nanchun's heroic posture and Lian Beiqiu's heroic style, and he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Zhichao, your friends are really heroes and heroes with extraordinary spirit!" ”
Ling Yun smiled faintly and said, "The prince praised it falsely. ”
Lian Nanchun stepped forward and respectfully handed over the original copy of the emperor's secret decree.
The prince of Guangling took the secret decree, carefully presented it on several cases, bowed down, and wept bitterly: "The emperor suffered this great disaster, and it was the fault of the ministers!" Your Majesty, Weichen will arrive in the capital in a hurry when 100,000 people will eradicate the treacherous evil, put down the rebels, and recover my Great Song River and Mountain! ”
Then, the prince of Guangling opened the hard-won secret decree with trepidation and studied it word by word.
Then the people discussed their next move.
Ling Yun's sword eyebrows raised, and he said in a deep voice: "Ling Yun thinks that there is another person who may be able to help us do something. ”
"Oh, who?"
Ling Yun's eyes were gloomy, and he said word by word: "Ding-in-of-the-"
"Ding Jinzhi ......" muttered and repeated these words, and the prince of Guangling showed a slightly surprised and puzzled look on his face, and then he understood it and nodded thoughtfully......
Let's go back to Ding Jinzhi.
The conspiracy of him and Li Zhishan to lure the prince of Guangling and his son back to Beijing in order to cause harm was exposed on the spot, and he also changed from an invincible minister to a rebellious minister and thief who was spurned by everyone, and was temporarily detained in a remote camp.
By this time it was completely dark, and it was dark all around, as if a huge mouth was waiting for him to be devoured.
The footsteps of the patrol guards outside came and went, and he was more and more disturbed. His mind was dizzy and his ears were screaming and ghostly, and he felt like he was about to collapse.
Thinking of the tragic situation when Li Zhishan committed suicide, and then thinking about what he had done, he knew that he was more than lucky, and he couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, the camp gate was opened, and Cheng Yong broke in with a few soldiers, and said in a cold voice: "Lord Ding, please." ”
Please, right? What do you mean, is this to send me on my way? ……
At that moment, Ding Jinzhi only felt that his mind was blank. He trembled all over, cold sweat the size of beans broke out on his forehead, his legs were weak, and he couldn't even walk.
Ding Jinzhi staggered, and followed Cheng Yong and others to the Chinese army tent of the prince of Guangling. A peek at it, the prince of Guangling was sitting behind the case; Ling Yun, Zhao Xu, the Cheng brothers and others stood on both sides, their faces sinking like water, their eyes sharp, and their hearts were even more bitter.
His face was as pale as earth, his head hung very low, and he stood trembling, his tongue as if frozen, and he could not say a word.
The prince of Guangling waved his hand and motioned for the Cheng brothers and others to retreat first. In the huge tent of the Chinese army, in addition to the prince of Guangling, there are only Ling Yun, Zhao Xu and a few of himself.
"Ding Jinzhi, do you know why this king brought you here?" The voice of the prince of Guangling was precipitated, and he couldn't hear any emotional ups and downs.
- Yes, I'm also curious, what does this Guangling prince want to do, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?
Complaining in his heart, Ding Jinzhi looked up at him suspiciously, and said in a sullen voice: "The lower officials don't know, please ask the prince to make it clear." ”
The prince of Guangling's face turned black, and said coldly: "Ding Jinzhi, you helped the emperor to abuse, colluded with the heavenly lord to seek power and usurp the throne, and also intended to murder this king under the pretense of the holy decree, can you be guilty?" ”
Ding Jinzhi lowered his head in despair and said in frustration: "The matter has come to this point, and the lower officials have nothing to say, whether to kill or chop, but it is up to the prince to deal with it." ”
The prince of Guangling sneered, "If this king really wants to kill you, he can directly arrange for someone to execute it, so why bother to bring you here?" ”
"What does the prince mean ......"
The prince of Guangling looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Ding Jinzhi, are you willing to obey the arrangement of this king?" ”
"What? ......" Ding Jin's eyes showed a moment of distraction.
Zhao Xu said impatiently: "Ding Jinzhi, haven't you understood what my father means now?" I only ask you, do you want to die or live? ”
Ding Jin's heart throbbed unconsciously, and then he smiled bitterly: "Ants are still greedy, let alone humans?" It's just that...... Is it just possible? ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Zhao Xu's confused gaze turned to him......
