Qing Zhan felt very funny for Jielan's careful thoughts, and couldn't help laughing out loud, he said to Corporal Qiu Ze: "Send a riding beast to him, let him report to Kong Jing, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that Kong Jing will be suspicious and not believe what he said." ”

Qiu Ze thought of letting this person who had caused a heavy blow to the army leave, and he was buried with resentment in his heart but it was not easy to attack, he thought that Shaojun was not an ordinary person, since he did so, he had his own plans, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything, so he ordered two soldiers to take Wuluan out, and then sent an eagle as a mount to let Wuluan leave.

After Wuluan got on his mount, he looked back at the barracks, and he looked at the hundreds of soldiers here with cold eyes, with resentment, hatred, but also expectation.

Wuluan unconsciously lowered his head, he couldn't say anything now, because even if he said anything, these people wouldn't believe him, so it was estimated that they would only believe it after he did it, Wuluan sighed, he knew in his heart that if he went, no matter what the result was, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive.

City court, Shen Shi.

At this time, it was not the time for the court to listen to the government, but Chao Ya had to let the eunuch announce that all the courtiers would come to the court under the authority of Kongjing, and the ministers were puzzled, because the city lord had not been to the court for a few days, and he suddenly asked the ministers to go to the court but he didn't know why, so he was suspicious in private.

After Chao Ya put on his court clothes, the eunuch led him out, and when he came out of the 'Yuehua Pavilion', he saw that Kong Jing was already waiting outside the door, his expression was solemn, and when he saw Chao Ya's appearance, he sneered, and then said: "What do I want to let Xian Ling?" ”

Chao Ya didn't look at Kong Jing, but only said to the eunuch behind him: "Take it to this stealer, see if the writing is to his liking?" ”

As soon as Kong Jing heard Chao Ya call himself so rudely, how could he not be angry, he drew his sword out, but half of the sword was drawn and pressed back, because even though the person in front of him was a fake city lord, but after all, he was standing here as the city lord, and there were many people, and it was probably not appropriate to be angry with the city when he was seen by others, so he endured it again.

Kong Jing took the order from the eunuch's hand, unfolded it, and didn't like the color, he closed the order, handed it back to the eunuch, and said to Chao Ya: "I think you are also smart, when I ascend the throne, maybe I will let you go home to cultivate the fields and retire, and live this life in peace." ”

Chao Ya let out a cold snort from his heart, and there was an indescribable weird smile on his face, "Then I really have to thank you, the new city lord." He strode towards the main hall.

The eunuch and Kong Jing behind him also quickly followed.

When he arrived at the back hall of the main hall, Chao Ya looked at the eunuch holding the order of Rang Xian, and he was thinking in his heart, he saw that there was a threshold at the door of the back hall, and his mind moved, and he accidentally kicked the threshold when he walked by, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly came to help him, and Chao Ya saw that the opportunity came, so he took advantage of the situation to pull the eunuch, and the eunuch was pulled vigorously, and his body was unstable, and he fell to the ground with a 'plop', and let Xian Ling fall aside.

Chao Ya picked up the order of the virtuous order, handed it to the eunuch, and said, "Why don't you lead the way for the lord well, if you throw the lord on you, how many heads will you have?" ”

The eunuch felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to respond with 'yes, yes, yes', he took the order and followed it carefully, for fear that something would happen again.

Chao Ya glanced back at Kong Jing, but when he saw the light in his eyes, he seemed to be eager to pull out his sword and kill himself immediately.

Chao Ya ignored it, he went out of the back hall, and went up to the main hall, as soon as he sat on the city, Kongjing stood on the left, and the eunuch stood on the right, singing: "Go to the court!" ”

And all the cities below knelt down, "Peace is upon my lord!" ”

Chao Ya raised his hand and signaled them to be flat, and after the ministers stood up, Chao Ya said: "The ministers are invited here today, there is a big event to announce to the ministers."

One of the officials of the Shangshu Department asked, "I wonder what the Lord is going to proclaim?" ”

Chao Ya looked at the eunuch, and raised his hand to signal him to read out the Rang Xian Order, the eunuch exhaled deeply and unfolded the Rang Xian Order, but just as he had unfolded it, his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled, as if he had encountered a terrible thing, which made him a little dispossessed.

Kong Jing thought that this eunuch was about to become frightened, so he shouted and ordered: "If the Lord asks you to read it, you will do it, and you will not read it!" ”

The eunuch was too frightened to disobey the order, he took a deep breath and began to read:

"The city of Chiyan, the lord ordered Zhao, the former general Kongjing in the court for fifteen years, deeply by the grace of the saint, but his heart can be punished, heaven and earth are intolerable, ten years ago after the design of the false rumor city, causing a catastrophe in the city, and with demons to control the holy lord, in order to blackmail the lord and make the courtiers, blind the people of the city, such a great evil, should be cut off from the post of the former general, beheaded by the house, in order to comfort the world!"

After hearing this order, Kong Jing's face suddenly changed greatly, and the ministers below were also shocked and frightened, whispering for a while, not knowing what happened?

Kong Jing pressed his sword and got up, walked towards Chaoya, and said: "The Lord must have written such a ridiculous thing because of his serious illness and unclear mind, this eunuch served the Lord left and right, and did not take good care of it, causing the Lord to be so sick now, it is really a sin that deserves death." ”

Kong Jing couldn't help but break up, so he drew his sword out of the sheath, and walked towards the eunuch with great momentum, the eunuch saw the fierceness on Kong Jing's face, and was immediately frightened to stand there, he hurriedly knelt down, and said: "The slave should die, the slave should die!" ”

However, only a 'snort' sound was heard, and the sword went over his head and neck, and suddenly blood spurted out, and the eunuch's head fell, rolled down the hall, and rolled down in front of the ministers, making the ministers tremble in fear.

Chao Ya didn't expect Kong Jing to be so bold, he slapped the armrest and scolded: "What an arrogant criminal Kong Jing, you actually killed people in the main hall and in front of the lord, are you trying to rebel?" ”

Kong Jing smiled coldly and said: "Now this Chiyan City has long been full of grievances, I wanted to persuade the lord to automatically abdicate and make way for Xian, but it seems that you are still greedy for this position, since this is the case, I can't tolerate you." Kongjing's sword pointed at Chao Ya, and said to the ministers below: "This Chiyan City, all the people are resentful, the Lord has lost the mandate of heaven, and I don't want Chiyan City to fall, so I obey the wishes of the people, and from today on, I will recommend myself as the lord of Chiyan and accept the worship of the ministers." ”

The ministers below were stunned, and it happened so suddenly, their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to do.

Chao Ya said angrily: "This lord is still standing here, what qualifications do you have to dare to call yourself the lord of the city, you are so openly rebellious, are you not afraid of being punished by heaven?" ”

Kong Jing looked at Chao Ya, and suddenly laughed, and then the long sword stabbed Chao Ya in the shoulder blade, Chao Ya wanted to resist, but was kicked by Kong Jing to His Royal Highness instead.

Seeing that Kong Jing was so rude to the lord, how could they not be angry, several old ministers stood up and said: "General Kong Jing, even if the lord has any faults, it is judged by the young monarch of Wangcheng, and you dare to treat the lord like this, do you want to rebel?" ”

Kong Jing raised his head proudly, and his momentum became more domineering, "Lord, take a good look at whether he is the Lord again?" ”

Chaoya, who rolled down the steps of the temple, climbed up with difficulty, and as soon as he raised his head, he suddenly returned to his original appearance, and everyone was even more shocked when they saw Chaoya's face, and said angrily: "Who are you, how dare you pretend to be the lord." ”

Kong Jing walked down the jade steps and said: "This person is actually an impostor, he controlled the lord through the demon law, and then he infiltrated the city court, pretending to be the lord, and deceived the ministers, the general only knew today, forcing him to show his true face in front of the ministers, but unfortunately, the lord has been harmed by this demon, and now only by killing him can he avenge the lord." ”

The ministers were even more shocked, they couldn't imagine that the lord had been murdered, they all stared at Kong Jing angrily, and said: "What a demon, he actually dares to pretend to be the lord, and he dares to murder the lord, such a sinner, drag it down and behead." ”

"Wait!" Another Shangshu from the Criminal Prison Department said: "This is just General Kongjing's words, we all need to listen carefully to distinguish it, this matter is not trivial, it must be decided by the young monarch of Wangcheng, otherwise this is a big crime of secrecy and not reporting." ”

Chao Ya stood up and said with a smile: "Don't you old ministers know me?" Although he has been away for ten years, Ben will still remember his friends. ”

The old man Shangshu took a closer look at Chao Ya, couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "You... Aren't you the captain of the Jade Cavalry? You... How are you here? ”

Chao Ya looked at Kong Jing, his eyes full of hatred, "The Lord is not dead at all, although he set fire to the Lord and wants the Lord to be buried in the fire, but the Lord is blessed by God and is still alive, but this shameless Kong Jing still wants to put the Lord to death, don't the ministers still understand?" If I wanted to impersonate the Lord, why did this thief tolerate me to this day? In fact, he wanted to coerce me to write a decree to make the virtuous, and wanted me to pass on the position of the lord of the city to him, although I was no longer in the court, but how could I allow this thief to cause trouble, so I replaced it with a decree of guilt. ”

As soon as the ministers heard what Chao Ya said, it was as if they had been struck by thunder, although these officials believed in what Chao Ya said, but even so they couldn't change anything? Because they understand how great Kong Jing's power is now, the military power of the entire Chiyan City is in his hands, and Lu You, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is not in the imperial court, plus Lord Yu Yao is detained, then there is no one here who can compete with it, so even if they know that Kong Jing is blatantly trying to usurp the throne, they do not dare to object, and many courtiers bow their heads, as if they have not heard anything, have not seen anything, and just quietly wait for the development of the situation.

However, the scholar was angry, he was over fifty years old, full of gray hair, he was already a withered year, he had been an official in the city since the time of the first lord, and at this time he heard that the lord was outcast, and this stealer was arrogant here, not putting the hundred officials in his eyes, how could he not be angry, he pointed to Kong Jing and said: "General Kong Jing, the Lord has always been kind to you, you are not grateful, but you dare to poison the Lord like this, are you not afraid of being executed?" You think that if you have military power, this city court will allow you to cover the sky with one hand, and you don't take us seriously. ”
