Chapter 59: Concubine De, vomiting blood for three liters
Liu Zhong went to Cheng's mansion to upload the decree and let Cheng Yishan enter the palace to meet him.
Along the way, Cheng Yishan also skillfully stuffed Liu Zhong with 50,000 taels of silver tickets.
"Gonggong Liu, what did Your Majesty call me for?"
Liu Zhong handily handed down the silver ticket, but snorted coldly in his nose.
"The miscellaneous family is not an independent roundworm of Your Majesty, how can you know what Your Majesty has summoned you?"
Seeing that Liu Zhong accepted the silver ticket but didn't do anything, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was so angry that he bullied his chest up and down.
Old dog!
How dare you deceive me like this!
Cheng Yishan's fire-breathing eyes were completely ignored by Liu Zhong.
"Hmph-"
"A dying man still dares to yell at the miscellaneous family?"
"Wait a minute, you'll have it!"
A quarter of an hour later.
The prince and Cheng Yishan entered the palace to face the saint.
The two walked into the imperial study, and the moment they saw Ji Tianci, they all looked serious and solemn.
"Cheng Yishan!"
Emperor Xiaoyuan shouted.
This loud shout directly frightened Cheng Yishan into guts, plopped, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.
"You're so daring!"
"How dare you collude with the White Bone Palace!"
As soon as this remark came out.
Cheng Yishan and the prince raised their heads one after another, looking at Ji Tianci who was standing aside watching the play, and the resentment in his eyes was like water in a water tank, about to overflow.
The five princes are so vicious!
Slander them for colluding with the White Bone Temple!
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"
"Minister, there is absolutely no collusion with the White Bone Palace!"
Bang –
Bang –
Bang –
Cheng Yishan kowtowed frantically in the imperial study.
The force was so great that it left a pool of blood stains on the floor in the imperial study.
Cheng Yishan personally experienced the battle of breaking through the White Bone Hall fifteen years ago.
He knew very well in his heart that the White Bone Hall was a taboo existence in Emperor Xiaoyuan's heart.
It must not have the slightest connection with the White Bone Palace.
"You mean, the fifth prince slandered you?"
Emperor Xiaoyuan's voice was cold, and he asked angrily.
"Minister, don't dare!"
"Hmph-Ci'er, my father asked Ling, did Cheng Yishan collude with the White Bone Palace?" Emperor Xiaoyuan asked Ji Tianci in front of everyone.
Ji Tianci was not flustered and looked calm.
"Father, the leader of the assassins, is the remnant of the White Bone Palace."
Ji Tianci's answer was very ingenious.
He didn't say directly that Cheng Yishan colluded with the White Bone Palace.
Because there is really no connection between Cheng Yishan and the White Bone Palace.
Emperor Xiaoyuan must have a master around him who is proficient in asking the heart.
If he said it directly, he would definitely not be able to hide it from a master who is proficient in conscience.
Conscience is a means.
As wonderful as it is, it has limitations.
The biggest limitation is that there must be a huge gap in strength between the person who is proficient in asking the heart and the person being asked.
The difference is more than four times to break the limit, in order to get nine out of ten.
If the limit is broken within four times, deviations will often occur.
Therefore, Ji Tianci knew that if he said it directly, he would definitely not be able to pass the threshold of conscience.
At this time, the art of speaking is embodied.
The leader of the assassins, Liu Jun, is a member of the White Bone Palace, this is true.
The god-destroying crossbow used by the assassins, Ma Jin from Shaofu Temple, is also true.
Ma Jin is Cheng Yishan's person, which is even more true.
Emperor Xiaoyuan connected these three clues in series, and naturally made up a truth in his brain.
Cheng Yishan colluded with the White Bone Hall and ordered Ma Jin to forge a god-destroying crossbow and hand it over to the assassins of the White Bone Palace.
Bang –
Emperor Xiaoyuan's palm slammed heavily on the table, making a violent sound.
"Cheng Yishan, what else do you have to say?"
Cheng Yishan was paralyzed to the ground, and the whole person seemed to have been sucked out of his spine.
He looked at Ji Tianci with a horrified gaze.
Ji Tianci's words actually passed the threshold of conscience.
This means that the Assassins are really related to the Temple of Bones.
Cheng Yishan's lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't say a word in the end.
He knew that he couldn't argue!
Because, in the entire Wu Kingdom, no one has the strength to ask him a heart!
"Minister, you are really wronged!"
Cheng Yishan screamed sadly.
But no one was there to sympathize with him.
The god-destroying crossbow is the most important weapon of the country.
Managing chaos and spreading outside the army is a big crime!
What's more, it also fell into the hands of the White Bone Palace.
It is even more sin on top of sin, and the sin is unforgivable!
"Drag it out!"
"Into the Prison!"
"Tomorrow I will be!"
As Emperor Xiaoyuan's cold trial fell, the forbidden army entered and dragged Cheng Yishan away.
Cheng Yishan was like a dead dog, looking at the prince with desperate eyes.
The crown prince is his last glimmer of hope.
Not far away, the prince lowered his head, from beginning to end, without looking up, looking at Cheng Yishan.
Cheng Yishan's eyes for help were ignored.
The prince's actions completely broke Cheng Yishan's heart.
The coldness and grief and indignation finally turned into a cry of sorrow.
"Minister, wronged!"
After disposing of Cheng Yi's aftermath, Emperor Xiaoyuan's eyes fell on the crown prince.
Melancholy, helplessness, regret, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, making Emperor Xiaoyuan's eyes extremely complicated.
Prince, what a disappointment for him!
In the end, the mixed emotions turned into a deep sigh.
"The prince does not know anyone, he will be fined for three years, grounded for half a year, and not allowed to go out."
Punishment falls.
The prince finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The clothes on his back have long been wet with cold sweat.
If it weren't for the fact that he also had the strength to break the limit five times, under the gaze and power of Emperor Xiaoyuan, I am afraid that he would have been scared into a soft-footed shrimp a long time ago.
"Sons obey orders!"
In the prince's tone, there was a hint of snickering.
Although, he was grounded.
Although, he lost Cheng Yishan's right-hand man.
But fortunately, the assassination case is finally over.
When Ji Tianci heard the prince's punishment, he was slightly dissatisfied.
The crown prince, after all, is the prince and the eldest son of Emperor Xiaoyuan.
Flesh and blood are deep!
Emperor Xiaoyuan, after all, did not make a ruthless move.
If it were someone else, whether it was related or not, if there was the slightest possibility of colluding with the White Bone Palace, he would be sent to the heavenly prison by Emperor Xiaoyuan.
"Let's go down!"
Emperor Xiaoyuan waved his hand and asked the prince to step down.
For a time, in the imperial study, only Ji Tianci and Emperor Xiaoyuan were left.
The atmosphere in the air, some silence.
Emperor Xiaoyuan pondered for a long time and said solemnly to Ji Tianci.
"God-given, the remnants of the White Bone Hall are causing trouble in the imperial capital."
"Eradicate the burden of the remnants of the White Bone Palace, and I will hand it over to you!"
"Erchen takes orders!"
Ji Tianci arched his hand, without the slightest surprise on his face.
Even if there was no order from Emperor Xiaoyuan, he would take the initiative to take this matter.
It's one thing to eradicate the remnants of the White Hall of Bones.
With the help of the wind that uprooted the remnants of the White Bone Temple, he could also beat the grass and hug the rabbits.
He destroyed the remaining dead of the prince.
There is also the matter of Steward Zhang's wife and children, you can also take the opportunity to operate it.
Emperor Xiaoyuan took out a gold medal from the gold-inlaid sandalwood box and handed it to Ji Tianci.
"Ci'er, I will give you a gold medal, which can mobilize a battalion of the Royal Forest Army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the White Bone Palace."
With this gold medal, a battalion of 3,000 soldiers and horses can be mobilized.
However, Ji Tianci was still not satisfied.
He stabbed himself.
This little benefit can't get him away.
"Father, that's it?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Ji Tianci's tone, Emperor Xiaoyuan glared at Ji Tianci.
"One battalion is not enough?"
"This is the Guards!"
Emperor Xiaoyuan bit the three words of the Imperial Forest Army very hard.
The Imperial Forest Army, the second strongest army of the Wu State.
The strength is still above the champion Hou's Zhenguo Army, Wellingboer's Welling Army and other strong armies.
Even the soldiers at the lowest level have the strength to break the limit three times.
A battalion of 3,000 soldiers and horses, even if the great master is facing it, he can only retreat.
Ji Tianci pursed his lips and did not retreat immediately.
Today, he will definitely let Emperor Xiaoyuan make some money.
He was waiting for his own arrangement.
Emperor Xiaoyuan asked, "What, is there anything else?" ”
"Erchen ......"
Ji Tianci deliberately slowed down his tone, according to his estimate.
It's almost time for the mother's action to arrive.
Sure enough, as Ji Tianci expected.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Concubine De Niangniang, she vomited three liters of blood, it's almost gone!"
On the corner of Ji Tianci's mouth, a successful arc was crossed.
Mother, you've come just in time.
