Chapter 530 Edict (Two Watches in One)
Wu Jian said with a sad face, "The servant looks, General Su seems to have just come down from the battlefield."
Emperor Qingming suddenly had a bad premonition, "Let them in."
Wu Jian promised to go out and open the temple door.
With the roar of the armor, General Su and General Li walked in, both of them were in the armor of the whole mansion, and their bodies were stained with blood.
"The last general will see the emperor!"
"Flat."
Emperor Qingming looked at their image and almost guessed something.
He asked, "General Su, shouldn't you be in the Liangchuan camp?"
General Su just got up and knelt down again, "Back to the emperor, Dingguo Gong went to the Liangchuan camp with the edict and military talismans to transfer troops, saying that the four princes rebelled and imprisoned the emperor...... The last general will come to King Qin in the king."
Emperor Qingming's eyes sank, "Edict, military talisman?"
General Su took out the edict and the talisman from the placket of his shirt and handed them to Wu Jian, "The last general has verified it, and it is indeed a new soldier talisman."
Wu Jian held the edict and presented it to Emperor Qingming.
Emperor Qingming opened the edict and read it first, the edict was true, and the seal was also true.
The talismans are also tightly fitted, and the inscription is coherent.
Emperor Qingming said with a calm face, "What about Dingguo Gong? Bring him in!"
General Su said with difficulty, "Go back to the emperor and set the country...... Seems to be fake. It's gone."
Emperor Qingming Huo Ran got up, "How can Dingguo Gong be fake? You were an official with him, and you didn't recognize him."
General Su arched his hand and said, "The last general is guilty. It's just that he looks like Dingguo Gong, his voice and martial arts are also the same, and he also describes what happened in Beijing recently...... The fourth prince had just led the camp in the western suburbs, and the last general also received a report from the palace, and now that the prince was not in Beijing, the last general thought that he was disobedient......
Old General Li added on the side, "Your Majesty, don't blame General Su for mistaking it. Even the last general, who had a lot of discussions with Dingguo Gong before, can be said to be familiar with him, and Fang Cai also fought with him for a long time without realizing that he was fake. If it weren't for the fact that he had killed the last general and Xiao Chen, it would have seemed that he didn't recognize us, and there would really be no flaws in the side."
Emperor Qingming's face was cloudy, and he paced back and forth in the imperial study.
Dingguo Gong is fake, so he and the King of Jin do not exist, but he detained the King of Jin with great fanfare and besieged the two mansions.
It would be nice if this news came half a day late, the one who should be killed was killed, and the one who should be beheaded, even if it was killed by mistake, it was not the fault of him, the emperor.
Emperor Qingming said, "Do you say that he is fake? So what is the purpose of his siege at such great lengths?"
The two veterans couldn't answer for a while, and they weren't the same people, so how did they know what he thought?
Old General Li thought for a long time, and finally thought of a possibility, "Perhaps, it's to kill the four princes? The first thing he did when he came up was to shoot the Four Princes, who were already wounded."
General Su shook his head and vetoed, "Impossible, his kung fu is very good, he can escape under the siege of the two of us, if he just wants to kill the four princes, wouldn't it be more convenient to attack alone?"
Old General Li frowned, "Then you say, what else can he do for!" Before leaving, he scolded the old man for being a fool, which is really hateful!"
General Su pondered for a moment, "The way he speaks, he looks like a person from the rivers and lakes......"....
General Li said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Looking at the military generals of the entire Great Zhou, there is no one else except Dingguo Gong who can single-handedly challenge you and me. If it weren't for him, he would only be a Jianghu person! And look at his later tricks, all the bells and whistles, where is it like our martial artist who is sturdy in every move!"
General Su frowned, "Old General Li, can you speak well."
"That's what the old man keeps talking...... And you say, I don't care what I said?"
……
The two old generals went back and forth, arguing, completely forgetting that they were in the imperial study at this time, and also forgot what the point of their final dispute was.
Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chengyuan with a heavy face.
Zhao Chengyuan drank tea and watched the two old generals bickering with interest.
Obviously, he knew that he was safe and sound, and in turn he looked lively.
Emperor Qingming remembered the Duke of Zhenguo, and he instructed Wu Jian, "Quickly send the Duke of Zhenguo over."
Wu Jian promised to step back.
Zhenguo Mansion.
Wang Can has already gotten the news.
He walked back and forth in the study with a calm face, "How could that Dingguo Gong be fake? How can the edict and the tiger talisman be fake?"
Wang Mao said, "I'm afraid that the first person the emperor suspects is you, father, only you know the Tiger Fu cipher. You also have the most contact with the emperor's edicts, and it is more convenient than others to steal blank edicts and seals."
Wang Can naturally understands this truth.
What he is more worried about is that the emperor will think too much about it, and he will think that everything is his game.
He couldn't help but shudder at the thought that it seemed to be all done by him, and that he couldn't even defend himself.
The other party is clearly a game set up against him, a game set up under his nose. He entered the game happily and pushed it forward with one hand.
Wang Can suddenly stopped and ordered, "You arrange for someone to go to Jianzhou and do a game all the way, so that everyone thinks that Dingguo Gong over there is fake, be quick!"
Wang Mao said, "Father is trying to confuse the real with the fake?"
Wang Can said, "This is the only way, hurry up!"
Wang Mao should go down.
But he wasn't sure if it was too late to do this. If this is a bureau for them, then the bureau must have been designed from the source.
As soon as he went out, the eunuch in the palace arrived.
Wang Can changed into official clothes and entered the palace.
Emperor Qingming said lightly, "The news of Zhenguo Gong is probably earlier than mine, you should know what happened, right?"
Wang Can knelt down and arched his hand, "The minister is afraid!"
Emperor Qingming waved the others away, and only the two of them were left in the imperial study.
He stared at Wang Can with sharp eyes, "I didn't see that you were scared, but I thought you were very bold. Except for me, only you know which one belongs to the Liangchuan camp, how do you explain it?"
Wang Can arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you don't fall for someone else's female trick, this is obviously a game that separates our monarchs and ministers!" There is no reason for the lower officials to send people to rebel, the prince is already the prince, and the aunt is the queen mother, so the minister will not be so confused!"
Emperor Qingming sneered, "I don't think it's a snake to add to it, this step by step is quite methodical, and no step is wasted.
In order to solve the dilemma of the prince in the northwest, you forged the edict tiger talisman and found someone to pretend to be the third prince to transfer troops. After the incident, he framed the three princes and Luo Shangshu and sent them to prison. ….
After disposing of the three princes, you saw that the four princes were in control of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so you killed him. You first misled the Queen Mother into thinking that the princess of Jin poisoned Nanzhang, and then led her to anger the king of Jin, forcing me to attack the king of Jin in the name of killing the clansmen. Later, seeing that I refused to be a killer, I repeated my skills and found someone to disguise Dingguo Gong to transfer troops into Beijing.
One of them is the king of Qin, and the other side thinks that Dingguo Gong is angry and rebels to save his daughter, so they kill each other, where can they suspect that things are fraudulent.
And once the war started, it was logical that the four princes were shot and killed in the war, and the king of Jin would also be executed for the crime of rebellion. Even if the truth is revealed, everything will become an established fact, and you will kill two opponents of the two princes with one stone."
Emperor Qingming got up and walked to Wang Can's side, staring at him condescendingly, "If it is assumed that the identity of the Duke of Guo is not revealed, he will lead his troops all the way to the capital and the palace. Now that the palace defense is empty, if he succeeds, the crown prince will not have to wait for decades to easily ascend the throne as emperor. I'm right?"
Wang Can's face was pale.
His worst fears came true. The emperor thought of more than he imagined. But everything is reasonable, and many things are indeed created by him, and he cannot argue with them.
He kowtowed to the ground with both hands, "Your Majesty, the ministers are afraid! This is the power of that person, you have designed the generals and the emperor to set up a bureau before and after, and the emperor, the ministers can take the lives of their clansmen and swear ......."
"For they are mortal, and you do not swear by them."
Emperor Qingming interrupted him, "Plotting against the great crime, coupled with the mutilation of the clan, does the Wang family still want to live?"
Wang Can's lips trembled, and he said mournfully, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that maybe this Dingguo Duke is real? He deliberately exposed flaws to make everyone think that he was fake, so as to blame the ministers and separate the relationship between our monarchs and ministers. However, the King of Jin and the Duke of Dingguo can rely on this to get out smoothly and completely clear up their involvement."
Emperor Qingming's eyes sank.
There is also this possibility.
He asked, "Even so, how can the Tiger Talisman be explained?"
Wang Can said, "The Tiger Talisman is made by the Ministry of Industry, and they can easily make a complete set of replicas. Next, they only need to understand the rules of the emperor's distribution of tiger talismans, or maybe they can peek at the tiger talismans distributed by the emperor to the Liangchuan camp......
Emperor Qingming snorted coldly.
This is clearly a strong argument.
But it's not impossible.
If the Dingguo Gong who transferred troops is true, then everything is possible.
He said, "So, do you think the person behind this is the King of Jin?"
Wang Can saw that the emperor's attitude had softened, and he hurriedly said, "King Jin has unparalleled wisdom, except for him, I'm afraid no one can come up with such a wonderful game."
He didn't just say this for his own sake, but he really thought so. Apart from King Jin, who else can make him plant such a big heel!
Wu Jian came in quietly and stood at the door of the hall and watched from afar.
Emperor Qingming asked, "What's the matter?"
Only then did Wu Jian cautiously step forward, "Your Majesty, there is good news from Jianzhou."
Emperor Qingming said, "Let them in."
Wu Jian opened the door of the palace, and the three messengers entered the main hall in a frosty manner.
After saluting, the captain led by the captain presented a good report, "Your Majesty, Nan Deng invaded the border of Wuzhou, and Ding Guogong and General Lu led troops to destroy more than 10,000 enemies and capture two cities!" ….
Emperor Qingming unfolded the good news, which was written by Lu Zhen'an, and there was a secret note agreed upon by the two of them, which could not be imitated by others.
According to the good news, he fought with Dingguo Gong in Wuzhou throughout the second half of the winter solstice and the month of Layue, and this good news also asked the emperor to send troops to send troops, and they could also transfer troops from Jianzhou to reinforce Wuzhou and pursue the victory.
He threw the good news in front of Wang Can, "Come and see, which Dingguo Gong is true and which is false?"
As soon as Wang Can heard the report of the letter soldiers, he knew that he had no way to defend himself.
Lu Zhenan is notoriously cunning, and no one can fake it in front of him.
What's more, leading troops to fight is a real skill, and after a few battles, what true colors will be revealed.
Emperor Qingming said coldly, "A month ago, the Duke of Dingguo was fighting in Wuzhou, how did you let him go to Liangchuan to transfer troops, and he had to go to great lengths to get the edict and the talisman?"
Wang Can said, "Or perhaps, the king of Jin will simply arrange a fake Dingguo Duke to attack the capital......
"That's enough!"
Emperor Qingming's face was as dark as ink, and the cold air around him was pressing.
With such clear facts in front of us, any explanation pales in comparison. What's more, the ambition of the Wang family has never stopped.
"Someone!"
Outside the door, several imperial guards rushed in.
Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench and said in a deep voice, "Zhenguo Gong intends to rebel and be sent to the Imperial Prison for trial!"
"Yes!"
The guards stepped forward to restrain Wang Can and walked out.
Wang Can shouted, "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, you must not fall for others!"
Emperor Qingming watched coldly as he was dragged away.
In the side hall.
General Su looked out the window and sighed, "It turns out that the person behind the scenes is actually the Duke of Zhenguo, he really knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart, and he still thinks he is an upright and frank person."
General Li Lao watched Wang Can being dragged away with a look of regret.
General Su turned his head to look at him, "What, you still sympathize with him?"
Old General Li said regretfully, "That person who pretended to be the Duke of Dingguo is really a character, and he has a lot of skills, I originally wanted to ask the Duke of Zhenguo to introduce him, now."
I don't think I have a chance."
General Su shook his head, "No matter how stupid Zhen Guogong is, he won't fall into the net, right?" General Li, you'd better die of this heart."
General Li was willing to give up, he analyzed, "This person is tall, he doesn't look like a young man, he should be thirty or forty years old. Compare this again, and screen the famous characters on the rivers and lakes......
General Su said, "What about unknown people?"
Old General Li frowned, "yes."
He leaned towards Zhao Chengyuan's side, "Lord Wang, you have suffered an unwarranted disaster this time, do you know who that fake person is?"
Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Old General Li had better not have this curiosity, what if that person finds out and kills people?"
Old General Li felt a chill down his spine, and suddenly changed his words, "It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, the one who scolds me for being a fool is definitely not a good bird!"
Wu Jian came over to invite him, and the three of them went to the main hall again.
Emperor Qingming first praised General Li's eyes like a torch and saw through the true face of the supposed Guogong, and then praised General Su for discovering the mistake in time and avoiding a vicious battle of fratricidalism.
After that, he asked the two to retreat.
He looked at Zhao Chengyuan and said in a deep voice, "Seventh brother, you have been wronged."
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "It's okay for my brother to be wronged, it's a misunderstanding, and there will always be a time to solve it." It's just that heavy snow has fallen in the area of Yuming Mansion, and the people have suffered a lot, so the imperial brother should have made a decision as soon as possible."
Emperor Qingming frowned, "That's right. The three princes guarding the Kun throne cannot easily leave for a long time."
He said, "Let King Chengjun in!"
After a short time, King Chengjun entered the imperial study.
Emperor Qingming said, "You go to the edict to mention the three princes......
He paused, "Release the three princes and Luo Shangshu on the spot, reinstate each of them, and freshen up to see me."
King Chengjun said yes and led the order to retreat.
Emperor Qingming sighed abruptly and patted Zhao Chengyuan on the shoulder, "Seventh brother, let's think about it for me, how to explain to the queen mother."
