Chapter Seventy-Five: The Crossbow

The big eunuch next to him hurriedly said: "Jia Jing is fine, but he was wiped on the shoulder by a crossbow arrow, and the poisonous arrow is not a poison that seals his throat with blood. Emperor Yongxi's face did not look any better because of this, and he said gloomily: "My two princes actually had accidents one after another under my nose!" What is Jia Jing's identity? That's the grandson of Ning Guogong! I watched grow up! What a saint? How dare they assassinate in broad daylight? Who gave them the guts? What did they think of me? Are they fooling me for a fool? ”

Emperor Yongxi roared viciously: "I can't wait to break them into ten thousand pieces now!" Call them into the palace! "No need for him to summon, Song Qing, the Duke of Qi, has already led Song Ming to kneel at the gate of the palace, when Jia Jing entered the palace, he happened to see Song Ming's face pale, covered in blood, almost dying kneeling in front of the Taiji Palace, Jia Jing didn't know how miserable Li Qin was, but just looking at Song Ming was already miserable and unbearable to look at directly, Jia Jing hurriedly glanced at him and followed Dai Quan into the palace gate.

When Jia Jing came in, Emperor Yongxi sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, Li Ming sat aside with a slightly white face, Jia Jing glanced at him and knelt down honestly to ask for peace, Emperor Yongxi saw that Jia Jing's face was slightly softened, and said in a deep voice: "Get up, stand on the side." Jia Jing was ordered to stand aside, and Jia Jing stood aside with his head down, his eyes flashing.

After a while, Dai Quan came in and said softly: "Your Majesty, Song Qing, the Duke of Qi, and his son are kneeling outside to ask for surrender, and Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo, and Li Xiangping, the Duke of Chengguo, have received the order to enter the palace and are waiting outside." Emperor Yongxi's face was cold and gloomy, and he spit out a word: "Xuan!" Dai Quan took the order and left, and after a while, he saw the old Chengguo Duke Li Xiangping walking in by the inner servants, followed by Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo.

Emperor Yongxi first said to Li Xiangping, the Duke of Chengguo: "Give the seat." Chengguo Duke Li Xiangping thanked him tremblingly, and then sat down on the chair, his eyes closed as if he was asleep, and Emperor Yongxi ignored him, and said coldly to Dai Quan: "Call Song Qing, Duke of Qi, in!" But he didn't say that Song Ming, the prince of Qi Guo, also came in, and Wu Kui, the prince of Jingguo, sighed in his heart, and he could only lower his eyes and didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing this, Jia Jing's brows furrowed slightly, if it was just Li Ming's assassination, would he be able to alarm the three major princes? Not to mention other people, Li Xiangping, the Duke of Chengguo, looked at the lord who jumped into the coffin board with both feet, and waited for the emperor to be reluctant to summon him into the palace except for the outbreak of a war at the level of a national war...... After all, it is bad luck to die in the palace......

Obviously, something else is happening, and what is even more obvious is that this matter is obviously beyond Jia Jing's control! Jia Jing couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart that he had taken off.

He didn't really know everything that was going on today...... Including Li Ming's assassination, he knew about it a while in advance, but he didn't know which fool did it, he just took advantage of the situation a little and for a while, who the assassins were, where did they get the crossbow arrows, and how did they know about Jia Jing and Li Ming's itinerary, etc., these Jia Jing didn't know.

He got an early warning when the assassins were targeting them, and decisively made a plan to take this opportunity to pull Li Ming on his back, first, to stimulate Emperor Yongxi shallowly, and secondly, to pull out the Hongzhi Lord's practice, I just disliked the emperor on the front foot, and someone on the back foot wants to mess with me? Who is the most suspicious? In this way, Lord Hongzhi's yellow mud fell out of the crotch of his pants, and it was not, but!

If Jia Jing encounters this situation again in the future, I am afraid that Hong Zhixun will be more anxious than Jia Jing, the original plan is good, Jia Jing is still impatient for himself, and he is proud of thinking clearly about so many interests and making a plan decisively......

The result is obvious, and it is obvious that the play is off......

And...... Jia Jing looked at Li Ming, my mother seems to have been affected by your kid! This time the assassin seemed to be going to Li Ming, Jia Jing was speechless for a while, for no reason, I hit you for nothing, if you come at me, it's just that, it's actually for you?

However, Jia Jing didn't show anything, he just stood aside honestly to watch Emperor Yongxi's performance, and after a while, Song Qing, the Duke of Qiguo, also came in, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "There is no way to teach your son!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was in trouble! Please condemn your majesty! Jia Jing sighed in his heart, Li Qin was cold?

Emperor Yongxi was silent, and he didn't look at Song Qing who was kneeling on the ground, the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point in an instant, and I don't know how long it took to hear Emperor Yongxi say lightly: "Why is the Duke of Qi kneeling on the ground?" Song Qing cried bitterly and kowtowed: "There is no way for the minister to teach his son!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu! Sin deserves death! Emperor Yongxi seemed to laugh twice, but the laughter made Jia Jing's heart furious.

Chengguo Duke Li Xiangping's eyes closed slightly, Jing Guogong Wu Kui hesitated, Song Qing couldn't stop crying and kowtowing, Emperor Yongxi suddenly said angrily: "Zhugong told me!" But there are princes of which dynasty and generation! Something happened under the emperor's nose one after another? The princes are also parents, can't they understand my feelings! ”

Emperor Yongxi stood up suddenly, his face turned red and said, "The dragon sons and grandsons of the Heavenly Family, are they all livestock that can be slaughtered by others?" Do you still have me in your eyes? But is there still the emperor? My eldest son is now lying in bed, and he can't even get out of bed! As soon as these words came out, Song Qing, the frightened Duke of Qiguo, desperately kowtowed and cried and begged: "It's all the fault of the rebel!" I only ask Your Majesty to condemn the ministers! The minister is willing to pray for His Royal Highness the King of Chu! ”

Emperor Yongxi's face was pale, and Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo, also said stubbornly when he saw this: "Such natural and man-made disasters are not humanly possible, and Your Majesty is therefore angry with the Duke of Qi, although it is human nature, but ...... I'm afraid it's hard for the ministers to convince me. ”

Emperor Yongxi looked at Wu Kui, Duke of Jingguo, Wu Kui only felt as if his blood was solidified, although he was a fierce general in the bloody battlefield, but he still couldn't withstand Emperor Yongxi's might, he only felt that his mouth was dry and almost gaffe, Emperor Yongxi nodded: "What Duke Jing said is reasonable, what he said is reasonable......

Wu Kui swallowed his saliva and was about to laugh twice to plead guilty, but when he saw Emperor Yongxi stretching out his hand towards Dai Quan, Dai Quan handed a strong crossbow to Emperor Yongxi...... If you are not blind, you can see that it is a strong crossbow of the military standard!

Emperor Yongxi looked gloomily at Wu Kui, the Duke of Jing, and said softly: "Regardless of Li Qin's matter for the time being, can the Duke of Jing solve my doubts, how could this kind of thing appear in the hands of the assassin who assassinated Li Ming?" Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo, instantly broke out in a cold sweat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The crime of the minister deserves death!" Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Yongxi's face was hideous: "You deserve to die? You really do damn it! It's not enough to kill one son, so do you have to cut off your children and grandchildren? Those people, those people are my army! It's my army! They pointed their swords at my children! You still told me that the ministers were not convinced? Wu Kui, the Duke of Jing, broke out in a cold sweat, knelt with Song Qing, the Duke of Qi, and didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Yongxi seemed to be out of breath, Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Emperor Yongxi nodded and said, "Okay, good, I am immoral and incompetent, so I can't subdue you." Emperor Yongxi pointed to Jia Jing who was standing aside and said, "What about Jia Jing?" He's your own! It's your Wuxun's child after all! You look down on me, you look down on the emperor, don't you even give Ning Rong's face now? Don't even give the face of Emperor Taizu Gao? ”

The three princes wiped the cold sweat on their heads and didn't dare to say a word, Emperor Yongxi looked at the three of them coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "You, don't listen to me, don't listen to Emperor Taishang, don't listen to the second duke of Ning Rong, and don't even listen to Emperor Taizu Gao, is that ...... Tomorrow you will lead troops into the palace to depose the emperor! ”

Li Mingwa cried out, and then knelt on the ground and shouted at his father, it was really sad for those who heard it, and the listener cried, Jia Jing would have believed it if he didn't understand the virtues of this little bastard...... Chengguo Gong Li Xiangping sighed sadly, got up and pleaded: "The old minister pleases!" "Hongzhi is relying on them now, although he doesn't look down on these two fools, but he can't sit back and watch them jump into the fire pit.

Emperor Yongxi didn't look at Chengguo Gong Li Xiangping and said softly and expressionlessly: "What is Chengguogong's crime? Li Xiangping sighed and said: "The old minister's corpse is a vegetarian meal, he is so old, but he still can't get in love, so that it has caused such a big leak......" Li Xiangping looked at Emperor Yongxi firmly and said: "But the old minister dares to save his life, this is definitely not done by people in the army!" The soldiers of Dayan are all loyal to the king! Everything he did was for the sake of Dayan and His Majesty, how could he point the butcher's knife at the children of the royal family? ”

Li Xiangping tried to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty is requested to investigate this case thoroughly!" The people behind this case are vicious and outrageous! I can't help but want to kill my Dayan royal family, and even more want to smear my Dayan soldiers! Provoke civil strife in my Dayan! Please ask Your Majesty to investigate this case thoroughly! Jia Jing raised his head slightly and looked at Li Xiangping, the Duke of Chengguo, and looked at others, only two sentences, the level was immediate!

Emperor Yongxi nodded lightly and said, "Quasi!" The three princes secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Xiangping, the prince of Chengguo, said again: "But no matter what, it has always frightened the two princes, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is even more ......" Li Xiangping seemed to be a little sad, wiped the corners of his eyes, and the corners of Jia Jing's mouth twitched so that he couldn't laugh.

Li Xiangping arched his hand and said: "No matter how strong the words are, the crossbow in the army is flowing out, in the end, the problem lies in the army, the old minister, please play Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the three banner armies of the ten major regiments and battalions in Beijing!" Once the problem is found, from the commander to the soldiers, all sins will be forgiven! Severe punishment by military law! Jia Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, good guy, this is a bloody investment!

Song Qing, the Duke of Qiguo, immediately took two steps forward on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Your Majesty! The minister is willing to resign from the post of the governor of the capital of the five armies, and let His Majesty screen the three major Beijing camps of the Fenwu Battalion, the Lianwu Battalion, and the Yaowu Battalion! But there is lawlessness! Let Your Majesty fall! Your Majesty! Please be guilty of capital crimes, Your Majesty! Seeing this, Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo, opened his mouth twice, and finally said in despair: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Jia Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't expect that Song Qing, the Duke of Qi, would be able to break his wrist to such a point this time, but what happened next was obviously beyond his expectations, only to see that Emperor Yongxi's face seemed to be ecstatic, and then he calmed down in an instant, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Song Qing, the Duke of Qi, is not strict in governing his family if he does not cultivate virtue!" Demoted to the Governor of the Five Armies! Still in charge of the three major martial arts camps! I will send someone to strictly investigate the case of the lost ordnance in the military camp, you should seriously cooperate, and you must not tolerate the adulterer! If there is a next time, it will be sent together! ”
