Wolf Smoke (3)

Liu Xiuyong heard the clue, and he said, "So it was never the teacher who killed Zhen Yi, but you."

Emperor Jingcheng watched everyone show the majesty of the emperor, and he said resolutely, "This is what I want him to do, and he has to die."

Zhen Kexiao bit his lip and looked at Emperor Jingcheng resentfully, but at this time, Yuan Ji suddenly looked at Zhen Kexiao and said, "Miss, in fact, there is another secret in this."

Zhen Kexiao frowned when he heard this.

"Go out of the jam to suppress the enemy and strengthen the country's momentum." Yuanji's words were not emotional, "Waiko invaded the border county town for many years, and every winter, more than 10,000 waiko plundered along the border rivers to the west, and the people's fertile land was trampled on. In the summer, there was a big flood in Yanzhou, and the food in Menzhou needed to be supplied to the two states, which did not involve the harassment of the displaced people who fled from the Northland. The foreign invaders poisoned the territory of the Northland, and the people had no land and no home. King Zhen saw the key point in this, so he came out of the right court and never suffered in the future."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him, and their eyes were full of shock.

Liu Xiuyong asked out in disbelief, "So this is the reason why Zhen Yi came out of the jam?"

"Nonsense!" Emperor Jingcheng waved his arms and danced his sleeves, "What you said is all speculation, Zhen Yi is simply relying on the looting of foreign robbers to support the army. What do you know without seeing anything?"

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Ji's mouth, and he looked at Emperor Jingcheng and said, "I have seen it with my own eyes."

Emperor Jingcheng glared, and Zhen Kexiao also looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "When have you seen it?"

"In Zhongyongnian, Mr. Lu asked me to go to Manhong Pass with Shi Danxin." Yuan Ji looked at Zhen Kexiao sincerely, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Miss, that year was my trial. I entered the scout camp, which was mostly populated by children whose parents had been killed by foreign criminals. I galloped along the desert with them, and saw the slaughter of the city by the Waikou on the west side of the border. I brought this news back to Manhongguan and reported it to General Zhen. He consulted with Shi Danxin at night, and I overheard it outside the door, and I didn't miss a word." Chinese Net

Zhen Kexiao's eyes twitched, and she asked urgently in disbelief, "So you knew the truth about my father's exit from the beginning of the day?"

"Yes." Yuan Ji's expression was filled with shame, "King Zhen has already seen that Shi Danxin has hidden something, but he has not exposed it. And the general came to me afterwards and ordered me to keep my mouth shut, and never to tell me about it."

Zhen Ke looked at Yuan Ji in a daze, and said in his mouth, "Father......"

Emperor Jingcheng sneered and said, "According to what you say, I have killed the wrong person. Zhen Yi is a good man and thinks well for the country, but I am the tyrant who ignores the dawn of the people in the world?"

"King Zhen knows the consequences of entering the capital alone, but the reason why he has no hesitation lies in his trust in you." Yuan Ji looked at Emperor Jingcheng's eyes without brilliance, and the dead silence made people panic, "You and King Zhen have known each other since childhood, and they are all over the world. King Zhen went out of the fortress out of his duty as a general, and he returned to the capital alone because you are his best friend in this life. It's just that King Zhen doesn't know that you not only killed him, but also violated Zheng Guozu's teachings."

Liu Xiuyong immediately understood, and he hesitated and said, "The merits and demerits are offset?"

"Out of the fortress to destroy the enemy, the territory on the west side of the Northland has been lost and regained. The displaced people were able to return to their homes to recuperate. Grain and grass from all over the country have to be sent to Yanzhou, Menzhou and other places for relief to the victims." Motoyoshi told the secret of guarding half his life, "Such merits, even if the crime deserves death, it is also his responsibility. But you implicated the Zhen clan and exiled them to the side, and then you didn't dare to change generals at will because the soul of the Red Pass Armor Soldier was King Zhen alone, so you took advantage of Pang Boyi's conscription order to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle to replace the armor. After that, he found the opportunity to change to a general. But this move also gave the Waikou a respite, and the Northland was lost, and there was no time to regain it."

Liu Xiuyong also looked at Emperor Jingcheng and said, "Therefore, there are tens of millions of displaced people in Kyushu every year, and disasters are everywhere, and mourning is everywhere. The teacher's plan to revitalize Kyushu has been frequently postponed, all because of the changes in the northland. The treasury was empty, and that was because there were so many displaced people from the Northland. These tens of millions of mouths are holes that can never be filled."

Emperor Jingcheng didn't laugh angrily, he pointed at everyone and asked sharply: "I am the emperor, and it is heaven for the people to be bored. I am a country in this life, Zhongxing Dazheng, but the weather is unfavorable, and the good day is not coming. Why blame me for it? This full game of chess pieces is compared to power, and people are born unequal. Only when one side dies, only one party lives. difficult

Dao Zhenyi can't read my heart, I have already given up the Northland, why should he recover it? Why?!"

Zhen Kexiao looked at Emperor Jingcheng in despair, she felt from the bottom of her heart that her father was not worthy, because Zhen Yi was assisting a faint monarch who only sought immortality and played with power.

"That's why my master died in vain."

Gao Cheng jumped from the long rope to the building, he carried the quiver on his back and bent the big bow, and the sharp arrow cluster said to Heng Weng who was hiding in the corner, "Your son Hengtian resold military rations in the year of Sheng Chong, and most of the places where they were shipped were Beidi and Yanzhou. You tricked my master Wu Feng into keeping it a secret. Now I ask you, who is the mastermind of the reselling of military rations? Is it him, or is he?!"

The cluster of arrows moved between Emperor Jingcheng and Liu Xiuyong, and Heng Weng sneakily hid in the shadows, and the candle flame illuminated the eyes of his side face, like a rat in the gutter peeping secretly.

He reached out his fingers tremblingly and said, "It's him."

Gao Cheng followed his finger and looked over, and immediately his eyes sharpened, staring at Emperor Jingcheng.

"Sheng Chongnian resold military rations, and at that time, Gu Zaiqing, who was greedy for heaven, was a leading figure. The Gu family is full of money, the granary of Panzhou is abundant every year, and the family property is already as high as a mountain of gold and silver." Heng Weng was bold, "My son got a piece of the pie and learned the secret, Gu Zaiqing was instructed by Pang Boyi, and he privately resold military rations to fill the stomachs of the displaced people in the north. And the mastermind Pang Boyi revealed between the lines that this is the meaning of the saint. It's just that Chen Yuwan, the court lieutenant in the prison at that time, was too old-fashioned, and Gu Zaiqing was found from my son, which also led to the murder."

Liu Xiuyong looked at Emperor Jingcheng hesitantly and said, "If Gu Zaiqing is tracked down by Chen Yuwan, he will inevitably find the source all the way. But after the night of the trial of greed, Gu Zaiqing was sentenced to be beheaded, and Chen Yuwan became seriously ill overnight, and then died. The case has now become a mystery. After that, no one cares about it."

"That's because the case involves the Emperor." Yuan Ji picked out the last fig leaf, "It was the emperor who made a hindrance and revealed this matter to Chen Yuwan, so that he was able to track it down all the way. But Chen Yuwan is a courtier, and he can't tell the truth at all. The law that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people is simply an ornament."

"That's why my master kept a secret until he died, because he couldn't tell it." He stared at the emperor's eyes full of hideous bloodshots, "Gu Zaiqing can't say it, Chen Yuwan can't say it, my master can't say it, because whoever dares to confide half a word, not only them, but even the nine clans will be annihilated."

Emperor Jingcheng scanned the crowd according to the handrail and said, "They all died for the country, and Gu Zaiqing used my silver to win the hearts of the people, then it was called arrogance. What is the original meaning of the Chen family's law? Restrain the people, not the king. They are all people who deserve to die, but their death is the life of Zheng Guo."

Zhen Kexiao smiled sadly and said, "Just like this? In order to balance the power tricks, you let innocent people die one after another. Even if it's a big hero like my father."

Emperor Jingcheng told her solemnly: "In the way of power, there have never been good people, bad people, and innocent people. Zhen Yi is a good hero, but he doesn't know how to think about danger, and it is a big mistake to control the military power alone but not restrain it. With each battle he won, he is one step closer to death. I and he used to be young men in fresh clothes and angry horses. But when I became the emperor, there was only a difference between me and him. Monarchs and ministers, there is only suspicion, and there is no friendship."

Liu Xiuyong looked at Emperor Jingcheng with a pale face and said, "You killed all the powerful people just to achieve your selfishness."

Emperor Jingcheng smiled, his expression as if he was recalling the meaning of this sentence.

He took two steps back, pointed his finger at Liu Xiuyong to sit down, and said, "Generations of emperors have been swinging between power and power. But I don't know that if this dynasty is replaced by a king, the kingdom will change greatly. It can rise and fall. But they don't know that if a dynasty has only one emperor who rules the world forever, then the kingdom will never decay and will always stand proud. Pang Boyi said that it would take 20 years to expand the territory and let Dazheng's territory reach the ends of the earth. But I know that twenty years is not enough, and it will take not only twenty years for such great achievements, but perhaps forty years, four hundred years, and thousands of years later, before all generations can be achieved. But as long as I don't die, sooner or later, the whole world will be mine."

He covered it with his big hand, and the candle flame of the ever-bright lamp suddenly rose!

In this moment

The wooden beams of the nine-story building burst out with a dazzling deep purple light, and at the same time, the astrolabe above the roof of the building shone brightly!

"Watch out, Your Highness!" Tang Jian's eyes froze, and he raised his arms to turn the sky upside down, "Fight the world!"

The astrolabe seemed to have broken free from the shackles of the stars in an instant, and it was beating and spinning rapidly!

Liu Taijing's expression changed in shock, the spiritual power he injected into the astrolabe was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it was completely eliminated in an instant, and at the same time, the pressure of the astrolabe suddenly shook him away!

"The waves are surging in the sky, and the fish in the pond are coming!"

Tang Jiankai lifted the astrolabe as if out of thin air, and pushed it to his side!

This suddenly stirred up the Tianhe in the Chongdu Palace.

I saw that the water of the Tianhe Pond under the Tianting Pavilion was surging, and countless carp were jumping out of the water with joy, and one of the dazzling golden rays was particularly conspicuous!

At this moment, the water in the pond seemed to be attracted, and it spun towards the sky and swept towards the nine-story building!

The roar of the violent water dragon was deafening, and both sides of the desperate battle under the ninth floor stopped and looked up.

They watched as the menacing water dragon swept across the sky, shook the torrential rain, and caused thunder to whisper one after another.

The next moment, the Yixiang Bagua in the center of the astrolabe seemed to be folded and folded, and the astrolabe instantly changed into an arch as high as the top of the sky!

"The Fish Leaps over the Dragon Gate, right now!" Emperor Jingcheng raised his arms high, "I will turn into a dragon tonight, and I will be a true immortal in the world!"

The violent light was dazzling, and Yuan Ji seized the opportunity to shake the blade of the sword and stab Emperor Jingcheng directly!
