Did he finally know to be scared?

Coldly, Lu Zhaoyi covered his veil and turned sharply, facing Nanling Gong, "Zhou Yi is dead? What happened an hour ago, you should have already entered the palace at that time, and only me, Henan Yin, Tingwei, and a few jailers knew about it, how did you know?"

She opened her legs and pressed forward step by step, "Unless, among those jailers, there are people you arranged, who secretly pass on this news to you when they learn that Zhou Yi is dead. Yes and no?"

Every word she said went straight to the point, leaving Nanling Gong speechless.

At this time, a man dressed in prison uniform suddenly walked into the hall, with chains in his hands, and was escorted into the palace by the officials of the court governor's office.

When this person appeared, the last line of defense in Nanling Gong's heart was completely destroyed.

This person is Zhou Yi, the king of Dongning, who has been captured for more than a year.

And Zhou Yi in front of him, his body was intact, without the slightest scar, and the person who was in prison an hour ago was like two people.

In the bottom of Nanling Gong's heart, a touch of despair vaguely rose, and he still underestimated them after all.

When Zhou Yi appeared on the main hall, except for the exclamations of the people in the hall, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.

As we all know, Lu Zhaoyi had a marriage contract with Zhou Yi four or five years ago, and then the marriage contract was abandoned because the bride-to-be ran away from the marriage.

A few months ago, the Empress Dowager decreed that she was hired by the Marquis of Nanyang and asked to marry Lu Zhaoyi, and in the eyes of the world, she was already a woman with half a foot on the queen's throne, and she was about to be the new wife of Emperor Xia Pei.

Right now, the three of them are in the same frame, which makes the people in the court can't help but think about it.

This scene lasted only a moment.

In the face of Xia Pei, Zhou Yi always stood up straight and did not kneel, even under the strong pressure of the officials of the Tingwei Mansion, he still remained standing.

Seeing this, Xia Pei waved his hand, "If you don't kneel, you won't kneel!" His father, Zhou Chu, had a relationship with my late father, but he did not seek faith, and parted ways and became mortal enemies. Leave everything aside, I should also be called a brother!"

Hearing this, the ministers in the palace gasped one after another, their hearts were shocked, and they shouted on the spot, "Your Majesty is kind!"

Zhou Yi didn't make any moves, just was silent, but his body moved forward slowly, standing on Lu Zhaoyi's side, opposite Xia Pei from afar, the two of them looked at each other, one was cold to the bone, the other was insidious and cunning, but it revealed a strong smell of gunpowder, which seemed to be about to explode.

And Lu Zhaoyi slowly moved a few steps forward, and opened up the distance, but got closer to Xia Pei on the throne.

This subtle movement was keenly captured by Xia Pei, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more obvious.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't care about these, and he didn't care about the eyes of others, and his voice was tactful.

"Back to Your Majesty! Today, the minister is in prison, and the Zhou Yi he saw is not himself, and what I killed should be the chess piece that His Majesty put in the edict prison, and the real Zhou Yi has been detained in ...... Taiqu Pavilion, the minister is not wrong, right?"

The words fell, and the hall was silent.

The ministers looked at Xia Pei one after another, as if they wanted to see the answer from his eyes, but they were afraid of their guesses, which caused Long Yan to be furious, so they quickly lowered their heads.

However, Xia Pei did not avoid this question, he admitted it calmly.

"Not bad!"

After a period of silence in the palace, Lu Zhaoyi continued: "Your Majesty has actually always known that the minister wants to find out the murderer of the minister's father four years ago, and His Majesty ordered the minister to serve as the head of the Taiqu Pavilion, so that the minister will interrogate Zhou Yi himself after discovering this matter. Kechen still didn't notice His Majesty's good intentions, and he didn't really see Zhou Yi until the last moment."

After saying this, the courtiers who didn't know the truth talked about it, and Nanling Gong also stared at her with round eyes.

"Then you say...... Who is in the prison?"

"Zhou Qian......" Lu Zhaoyi replied, "From beginning to end, Zhou Qian has never been rescued, and when the news came out, he deliberately threw out bait to let some people fall into the trap, and in the end, Nanling Gong, you ...... As Your Majesty wishes, I have jumped into the trap that Your Majesty has set for you for more than a year of planning."

Speaking of which, Xia Pei was stunned

Brushing his cuffs, he shook his head carelessly, and then instructed Li De, the attendant next to him, "Since my quasi-empress has already shaken off the matter of my layout, then I will not hide it, and among the rebels this time, there is someone arranged by me, and this person has been delivering news to me on the front line, that is, through Xiaopingjin Pass, to my hands."

The ministers whispered, some in disbelief, others with strange expressions.

What's going on?

Is there an emperor's internal response among the rebels?

From time to time, some courtiers have stood up, "Your Majesty has such a strategy, it should be the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people!"

"Your Majesty is wise?"

Xia Pei ignored the courtiers' praise and continued: "My original intention was to let the rebels cross the river, if Mengjin is broken, the hidden internal response of the rebels will immediately turn the spearhead and deal with the rebels, then the rebels will be in chaos, and my 80,000 warriors will suddenly appear from the mountain and be taken by surprise."

"However, the Seven Ladies and the garrison appeared to hold the city, so my plan was useless."

At this time, looking at Nanling Gong again, his face twitched again and again, he didn't expect that all this he planned would be a jumping clown in front of this young emperor, how could this not make him stunned?

He was already crazy, and he was about to take the dragon slaying sword from Xia Yuanlong's hand.

At the last moment, Nanling Gong was pushed down by a huge force and fell to the ground, when he got up in embarrassment, he saw Xia Yuanlong looking down at him condescendingly, and the contempt and ridicule in his eyes stimulated Nanling Gong's heart to hurt.

He turned over and got up and fought with Xia Yuanlong, and immediately, the ministers were scolding Nanling Gong for being rude, and although the generals were wearing official robes, their actions were still smooth, and they immediately provoked from the banquet and participated in the fight.

It's just a cup of tea, and his clothes were finally caught, and Xia Yuanlong, Tian Quan, and Wen Wei immediately held this person under him and lay on the ground, and what he was facing was Xia Pei on the top of the palace steps.

"Nanling Gong, it's not that I haven't given you a chance, it's you who have repeatedly provoked trouble, I just ascended the throne for a month, and the Jiqing Rebellion was provoked by you, isn't it? The disaster of Yongzhou's grain, the rebellion of King Wei, and a few days ago, you personally led the rebels to storm Mengjin, one by one, which one does not have you?"

In the face of this accusation, he has no rebuttal.

Zhou Yi, who had not spoken since he entered the door, opened his mouth at this moment, looked at Nanling Gong who was lying on the ground with cold eyes, and said without any expression: "If I hadn't listened to you, I wanted to conspire with me Dongning to capture Luojing, how could I have been reduced to a prisoner for more than a year? My eldest brother Zhou Qian, how did he die in prison?"

As soon as this statement came out, the ministers were completely disappointed in Nanling Gong, and some people even bluntly said that this person should be killed immediately.

But it's not over yet, the right prime minister Du Yan made up another knife at this time, "If you want to say that the Jiqing Rebellion is just a small trouble, then privately minting copper coins and making weapons is a proper crime of rebellion...... However, ladies and gentlemen, as well as Your Majesty, you can rest assured that these things were collected by someone at the Nanling Mansion as early as yesterday, and temporarily placed on my right Prime Minister's Mansion, and Your Majesty can send someone to pick them up at any time."

Some of the ministers exclaimed, "Privately minting copper coins and secretly making weapons, which one is not a capital crime?"

In the end, it was Lu Zhaoyi's turn, she patted Yu Chao beside her, who lost his position as Jingzhao because of Nanling Gong, and took his son to hide in Tibet and avoid the pursuit of killers in Luojing.

It wasn't until three days ago that with the assistance of the people of Piaoxue Tower, a dagger was seized, which was the mark of the Nanling Mansion, confirming that it was the Nanling Duke who made him suffer all this.

Of course, the dagger was also taken out at this moment and presented to Xia Pei.

In the face of everyone's accusations, Nanling Gong viciously asked, "Xia Pei! You dare to turn your back on my Nanling and the last order of your ancestors, ...... you."

didn't give him a chance to speak, Xia Pei patted the dragon case and straightened up, "Shut up, I have already said that I will give you the right to cancel the guilt given to you by the previous king, but you are guilty of a lot of sin, cocooning yourself, and accusing me?" Hehe, I will issue an order today to copy you all over the house......

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the courtiers in the palace, still asking for their meaning.

"Zhu

Do you have any objections?"

Although it was a solicitation, his tone was more of a warning.

Now, the mandate of heaven is in his Xia Pei, and all the things that Nanling Gong has done have been exposed, and the evidence is ironclad.

After being in a trance for a long time, seeing that no one refutated, just as he was about to speak, when he raised his eyes, Xia Yuanlong and others in the hall had already escorted people out of the main hall.

Along with them, there was also the Dragon Slaying Sword brought by Lu Zhaoyi.

Xia Pei shook his head with a chuckle.

Now that this matter has been settled, he doesn't need to say much, just according to the last order of the previous king, he will behead the world and behead the female gan to kill this person, and he, the emperor, will not have to bear any bad reputation.

After about three incense sticks, Xia Yuanlong and the others returned to the main hall, carrying the bloody dragon slaying sword and the bloody human head wrapped in a box, and returned to the hall to resume their lives.

It was late at night, the temple was brightly lit, and everyone was holding their breath and waiting for the development of the situation.

Xia Pei looked a little tired, supported his forehead with his hand, lay on his stomach, waved his hand, asked everyone in the hall to retreat, and let Li De approach, whispered a few times in his ear, then stood up, and was about to leave the Taiji Palace.

The crowd scattered, and at this moment, someone actually shouted, "Xia Pei!"

Everyone turned around and looked at the person, it was Zhou Yi.

"What you promised me, will you still do it?" He asked.

Xia Pei always turned sideways and didn't look at him, but he still responded calmly, "Of course, I am the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and I am the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty!"

With that, he took a stride and strode out.

Li De followed behind Xia Pei and bowed to Lu Zhaoyi, a smile appeared on his face, "Lu Niangzi, Your Majesty invites you to enter the West Pavilion Hall for a while...... Please go with the miscellaneous family......

Lu Zhaoyi nodded, didn't even glance at Zhou Yi, and followed Li De.

As for Zhou Yi, he was escorted away by the officials of the Tingwei Mansion and Xia Yuanlong.

The night is long, the cold wind hits, rolling up the frost of the autumn night, and it flies one after another.
