Chapter 20: Counterattack
"Minister, I implore the Emperor to be the master of the minister."
I saw that Zhenbeihou suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
"My lord, what's going on? Get up first, explain carefully, father is wise, you are my hero to protect Beiling Kingdom, if you are really wronged, your father will definitely make decisions for you. ”
Chu Mohan took a step forward, helped Zhenbei Hou up, and said to Zhenbei Hou with a kind smile on his face.
"Okay, Gu Qing, you get up first. Talk to me well. If anyone really troubles you, I will punish you severely. ”
With Chu Mohan's foreshadowing, Beilinghuang could only follow his words.
Looking at Beilinghuang's face presiding over justice, Chu Wanxiang only felt very funny.
Emperor Beiling was originally extremely jealous of his uncle, and this time he announced that he had entered Beijing for ulterior purposes, but now he had to put on a fair and just attitude to make a decision for his uncle. It's somewhat ironic.
Presumably, Beilinghuang was even more awkward and annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone.
Looking back at Chu Yan and Xiao Li, who had gloomy faces, Chu Mingyi sneered in his heart: Your Highness, you planned it first, so it's no wonder that others will fight back.
"Emperor, on the way back to the north, the minister was ambushed, after a long battle, the leader was captured, after careful questioning, he was a Marquis of Anguo, not only killed the minister, but also wanted to kidnap the minister's daughter and force the minister to submit, his work style was extremely cruel, which was fatal!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei sighed and burst into tears.
"Nonsense."
Xiao Li's face changed, and he immediately slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Zhenbei Hou and said sharply: "Zhenbei Hou, don't think that you can be trusted to frame others because of your meritorious service, An Guohou was ordered to welcome you into Beijing, how could he be the one who ambushed you?" If you continue to spew blood like this, this king will kill nine of your tribes in no time. ”
"Your Highness is probably wrong, your identity is just a prince, the Marquis of Zhenbei worships first-level officials, only the emperor is qualified to dispose of it, and the emperor should also have the power to punish the nine clans, what position do you stand on, what identity do you use, and act in front of the emperor?" Chu Wanxiang set off the biggest storm with the calmest voice.
"Li Wang." In the main hall, Emperor Beiling's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, which looked extremely terrifying.
looked at Xiao Li intently, although he simply called him, his tone was extremely cold, like a glacier thousands of miles away, making people tremble involuntarily.
Obviously, Chu Wanxiang's words worked.
Beiling Huang values imperial power the most and will not tolerate anyone's idea of hitting the dragon chair.
Even his rightful heirs.
Don't forget, the prince harbored 30,000 elite soldiers with the intention of rebellion, and after being exposed by Xiao Li and Chu Yan, Bei Linghuang didn't care about the investigation at all, and directly ordered his head to be cut off.
In the face of Emperor Beiling's anger, Xiao Li knew that he was impatient and said the wrong thing for a while, and was caught by Chu Wanxiang.
Immediately got up in a panic, knelt down, and lowered his head: "Father, please calm down!" ”
"The priest was just complaining for the Marquis of An, and he was in a hurry, so he said the wrong thing."
"King, King Li is also an unintentional mistake, please calm down and don't blame me."
The queen also hurriedly interceded with Xiao Li, although this child was not born to her, but it was her only support in this life.
Mother and son share ups and downs, so she must protect him.
"Your Majesty, it's just a slip of the tongue when you think about it, and the most important thing now is the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Lin Wan was very happy to see Beiling Huang Sheng Xiao Li's anger. For Chu Wanxiang's counterattack, I appreciate it very much in my heart.
"Hmph." Beiling listened to Lin Wan's persuasion, glared at Xiao Li, and turned his gaze to Zhenbei Hou.
"Zhenbei Hou, you said that An Guohou sent troops to ambush you, do you have any evidence?"
"Leaders are witnesses."
The Marquis of Zhenbei ordered someone to press him up: "Your Majesty, this is the person." ”
"You, say you're Anhou's person."
Bei Linghuang leaned forward and put his arms on his knees.
Long Wei pressed down, and the man trembled with fright, and his lowered head became heavier.
"Lift your head. With a loud roar, the man looked up tremblingly.
At the trial of Emperor Belling, he said: "The face is strange, I have never seen it. ”
He raised his head and asked, "Where is An Guohou?" ”
"Let him face it."
"Back to the emperor's father, An Guohou has not appeared from the beginning to the present." Chu Mohan said.
Miss. As an official who was ordered to greet him, all the people who were going to greet him had already entered the palace, but the people who went to greet him were gone.
What's going on.
Bei Linghuang's face became more and more gloomy.
He originally hoped that An Guohou would be able to balance Zhenbeihou, but he didn't expect Chen Ping to lose the chain at this time.
In the main hall, the king's anger was everywhere, and no one dared to act rashly, for fear of doing something that would displease the emperor and cause disaster.
"King, An Guohou is back."
When the atmosphere was dull, Junli pointed to a figure outside the hall and said.
Everyone looked at his hand, and sure enough, they saw An Guohou rushing towards him.
Chu Wanxiang raised her head and glanced at it, but there was no expression on her face.
Judging from An Guohou's appearance, although his movements were a little hasty, his expression was very calm, calm, and prepared.
It seems that An Guohou can't move for the time being today.
Emperor Beiling originally wanted to use An Guohou to balance his uncle, even if he knew that An Guohou had done something, he wouldn't really do anything to him.
It doesn't matter, as long as Uncle returns safely and moves An Guohou away, then we can make a long-term plan.
Chu Wanxiang was not in a hurry at all.
"Sinners see the Emperor." Chen Ping's coat and hat were crooked, and there was still some dirt and dust on his body. He looked like he had come back in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to clean up his appearance.
From the very beginning, he referred to himself as the Minister of Crime, and with such sincerity, no one could say anything serious.
Bei Linghuang's face also softened a little: "An Guohou, what crime have you committed?" ”
"I was ordered to meet the Marquis of Zhenbei, but what I didn't expect was that a group of unknown killers suddenly appeared on the road. This delayed the welcoming process, and the minister rushed to the scene as soon as he had dealt with the murderers, only to find that the scene was also chaotic. The king of Zhenbei was gone, and the minister was frightened, so he immediately sent someone to look for him, and learned that the king had entered Beijing, so he hurried back. ”
The details of this speech are really good.
Chu Wanxiang secretly commented in her heart, not only explaining the reason for being late, but also pushing the guilt of the ambush far away.
Heh, such meticulous rhetoric is not something that a general like An Guohou can make up.
looked up at Junli opposite, only to see him looking at An Guohou with satisfied eyes, and exchanging meaningful glances with Xiao Li from time to time.
Junli, it's really you who can come up with such a seamless statement in such a short period of time.
