Chapter 72: False Accusation and Loss (2)
Cun Zhao saw that it was late at night and there was no one in the palace, so he pulled his mount and hurried to the East Palace.
He knew that the prince was a bad idea, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he first asked the guards about the residence of his mastermind Lan Yuan, and then hurried there.
This blue waiter was sleeping Zhengxiang, snoring loudly, and he couldn't hesitate, so he had to open the bamboo curtain and push him the back a few times, twice and three times, and finally woke him up.
"It's so late, who ......" Lan Yuan turned his face lazily, and saw that he was standing there anxiously, and immediately turned over and sat up, "What's wrong?" ”
"Lan Shiyu, Your Majesty's chariot has reached the city gate, once you let it enter the city, the Liu Party will want to control me to death. I beg you to lead me to the prince's courtesy, so that he will quickly burn all the documents and evidence, so that he will not be taken advantage of by thieves. ”
Lan Yuan nodded hurriedly: "I'll take the adult to meet His Highness." Then he hurriedly called the guards to wake up the prince.
The guards listened to his urging very tightly, so they didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, broke into the dormitory, and shouted: "Your Highness, there are important guests visiting outside the house!" ”
The prince looked up dazedly, and saw that the fire had been lit in the room, and his eyes stinged.
"Your Highness, please forgive the little brother for being rude," Cun Zhao also broke in, and hurriedly knelt down, "Something big is going to happen." ”
"Speak." The prince also asked the guards to take the formal robes.
"Liu Dang has already put Uncle Rong in prison in Denglai and asked him about the capital crime of plotting against the king. I was afraid that he would gain an inch and endanger the community, so he set up a helpless plan and pushed his cousin to come out alone to take the blame. At that time, I was afraid that my brother would not be able to make a decision because of his kinship, so he concealed it. Now that the matter has come to this, please ask the prince to burn the evidence in order to protect himself. ”
"This ......"
The prince was still hesitating, and Lan Yuan admonished: "The heart of the willow thief is very vicious, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will do something out of the ordinary." If you don't obey the forbidden words, a great disaster will come. ”
After hearing this, the prince resolutely decided: "That's good! Lan Waiter, you go to the Secret Pavilion and take out that box, and put it in the backyard to burn it; Then he sent another man to ask the old emperor to bring the letters he had in hand and burn them together. ”
"My subordinates understand!" Lan Yuan only bowed his hand and retreated.
Taisu was holding a stack of letters, and as soon as he walked into the gate of the East Palace, he smelled a smell of burning. His face was gloomy, and he handed the paperwork to Lan Yuan without saying a word.
"Cunzhao, that brute...... Where is it? He tried to hide his imminent outburst.
Lan Yuan looked at him cautiously, and didn't dare to say more, so he had to answer respectfully: "Uncle Huang, Cunsi Ban is talking to the prince in the palace, you can dissipate your anger......"
"Just do your job," Tai Suzuo snorted coldly, "It's not your turn to meddle in these things." ”
At this time, Cun Zhaofang finished discussing with the prince and was about to leave, but saw Taisu rushing in from behind the screen, grabbing his clothes with one hand and hitting him in the face with the other.
"You brute!" Tai Su gasped and roared loudly, "People like you are really in vain for the descendants of your own clan!" It's good to let the emperor get rid of your clan membership, and it's over! ”
Cun Zhao let him beat and scolded, but when he saw that Taisu was tired from beating, he didn't lift it in one breath and fell back on the chair. He hurriedly stepped forward with the prince to help, pinched the middle of the person, stroked his back, and finally let him smooth out this breath.
Seeing this, Cun Zhao knelt down heavily, bowed his head to the ground, and wept nonstop: "Uncle, the younger generation is really unscrupulous, whether you blame or scold, I will never dare to complain." However, this was a helpless move, and it was not intended to frame Uncle Cousin...... Otherwise, the society will be overturned, and there will be more than one person killed! Now, the situation is irreversible, please ...... Please forgive your uncle. ”
The prince also advised: "Uncle, Cunzhao puts national affairs first and saves us wholeheartedly." Uncle Rong was killed, but it was the ambition of the willow thief and wolf, why blame him? ”
Taisu coughed twice, but still did not change his anger, and pointed at Cun Zhao with a trembling finger and said: "This little beast patronizes his own life, so he doesn't try his best to protect Rong Qing!" He deliberately made up such a set of rhetoric to prevaricate the crime! Since the Liu Dang wants to kill us, let them kill us, I will cut off his head and bleed, and I will live and die with my nephew! ”
The prince said again: "Uncle Hugh should be careful, or keep our temple and society first, and the water will flow for a long time." ”
"That'...... Then remove this little beast from the clan, too! Tai Su slapped the table violently.
"Uncle! Uncle! Cun Zhao burst into tears and whimpered.
"If the uncle insists on removing his brother's ancestry, this king is also willing to go to the position of prince!" The crown prince is still helping Cunzhao.
"You ......" Taisu was blocked by him and had nothing to say, and looked at the grief-stricken Cunzhao again, so he had to shake his head and cry with emotion.
The confrontation outside the city gate has been nearly half an hour. Several officers adhered to Cunzhao's orders, insisted that it was dark and the night was late, and they did not know their faces, and they wrestled with them for a while.
The troops on patrol have all arrived, and Liu Zhennian is still wandering under the city wall, and the two rows of teeth are about to be crushed.
"Open the door! Open the door! He whipped his whip and shouted, "I have already made Your Majesty condescend to shout, if you are still using excuses to delay, I will force your way in, so that you can wait to see the emperor's face!" ”
"There are many people with similar voices, but they may not really be the emperor himself! Thou shalt wait for the camp outside the city, and wait until dawn to speak! The officer who shouted did not have a bottom in his heart, but he still held on.
"A bunch of bastards!" Liu Zhennian threw his horsewhip, "When your grandmother's day dawns, I will punish the nine clans of you!" ”
The soldiers in the city panicked, and asked the officer, "Is it okay over there?" We can't wait any longer! ”
The officer bit his lip, rubbed the hilt of the sword in his hand back and forth, and finally sighed and said, "Then ...... Hold off for the last time. ”
"We can open the door. The annoying general brought the holy talisman to the city to take a look, and then allowed to enter the city! ”
Liu Zhennian hurriedly sent a little eunuch to hold the talisman high and asked, "Do you see the truth?" ”
"It's real." The officer looked at his subordinates helplessly, "Open the door to the emperor." ”
This army rushed into the capital at high speed, with Liu Zhennian and Niu Yuan in front, directly stepping on the stone bridge in front of the palace, and galloping into the palace without waiting for the guards to stop the horse.
Yan Wen heard that Liu Zhennian was suddenly coming, so he hurriedly took two henchmen to greet him, and saw Niu Yuan leading a group of military horses, shouting and searching in all directions, shouting and arresting people in a hurry.
"Bong-sang, what are you doing here?" Yan Wen frowned and pulled him to ask.
Niu Yuan held a shaft of holy decree high in his hand, and said arrogantly to Yan Wen in front of him: "Your Majesty has an order, Cun Zhao and Taisu intend to rebel, so that we don't have to delay, and we will lead troops to arrest the thieves!" ”
Yan Wen looked at the soldiers who kicked the door and knocked on the window on both sides, and knew that it was Niu Yuan's trick again. Now, he had no choice but to wave his hand and order: "Go, soldiers, I'll take you to arrest the rebels!" ”
