Chapter 421: True and False Emperors

The Queen Mother fainted again, and it was a lot of chaos.

Emperor Xingyuan guarded the Queen Mother and ordered He Qingxiao and Zhao Feifan to arrest people.

As for the false emperor, he was firmly controlled and ignored for the time being.

While waiting for the Queen Mother to wake up, Emperor Xingyuan carefully asked about what happened in the palace, and when he heard that Li Weiyao was going to catch Xin Yu, he gritted his teeth angrily: "This beast!"

After a pause, he added, "These brutes!"

Xin Yu had a stomach full of doubts, and he didn't know where to ask for a while, and Concubine Xian and the others were still afraid after experiencing the thrilling just now, and they were silent.

"Ayu, I've wronged you." Emperor Xingyuan looked at the haggard girl and felt sorry in his heart.

Xin Yu pursed her lips and said, "Thanks to the ladies and Princess Xuan."

"Well, I remember." Emperor Xingyuan cast an appreciative look at Concubine Xian and the others.

"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" Concubine Xian asked.

Emperor Xingyuan's face turned cold: "Some greedy rebellious ministers and thieves thought that I had fallen into the water and died, and they found a Xibei to try to protect their interests......

Emperor Xingyuan still remembers the shock and anger when he heard that the emperor had been found and the team set off for Beijing.

He quickly realized that the fire of the treasure ship was not an accident, but a conspiracy by some people to replace him with Xibei cargo.

Thinking of this, it is not appropriate to act rashly before returning to the capital. By the way, I will plan and take the opportunity to see clearly who is causing the chaos, and I just catch them all.

At this time, the maid of the palace came out: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is awake."

Emperor Xingyuan hurriedly walked in.

On the bed, the Queen Mother, who was nearly seventy years old, opened her eyes, her eyes were still dull, and she kept shouting: "Erbao, Erbao-"

In the past, every time he heard his mother call him by his name, Emperor Xingyuan was a little embarrassed, but now he can only rejoice: "Queen Mother, my son is here." It's your son who is late and frightens you."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and saw that the son in front of her was finally sober, and pulled Emperor Xingyuan to cry: "Son, my mother thought you were evil, it turned out that someone was pretending to be you!" Who is that man, and how does he look like you?"

Who is that man?

This question is not only the Queen Mother, but everyone's doubt.

Emperor Xingyuan didn't have time to find out, and now that the Queen Mother has woken up, she has time to ask.

The Queen Mother stopped Emperor Xingyuan: "The mourning family also wants to hear it."

Emperor Xingyuan had no choice but to promise: "Wait for my son's interrogation to be clear, and tell you carefully."

"Then you go quickly, the mourning family is waiting."

Emperor Xingyuan nodded and glanced at Xin Yu: "Ah Yu, you go with me."

Xin Yu walked behind Emperor Xingyuan, and Concubine Chong Xian and Concubine Li's mother and daughter bent their knees.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Xingyuan sat down on the throne, and after a period of time, everything that should have arrived arrived.

The Ministry of Rites, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the commander of Jin Linwei, Feng Nian, and the great eunuch Li Wei, in addition to these three people, there was also a large group of officials who were tied, and they knelt in the hall with their faces as white as earth.

Hube Shangshu and others were also there, and their eyes couldn't help but aim at the fake emperor.

Comparing them together, it is easy to tell which is the real emperor. But even so, the two of them are nine points alike in terms of appearance alone, which is incredible.

"I heard that it wasn't disguised, and I didn't wear a human skin mask." Hubu Shangshu blocked his mouth and whispered to Xie Zhangyuan on the side.

Emperor Xingyuan's ears were sharp, and he glared at Hubu Shangshu fiercely.

If it's a human skin mask, then where did the human skin come from? Can this old thing talk?

After glaring, the head of the household was busy looking at his nose and his nose.

"Tell me, who is he?" Emperor Xingyuan looked at the Book of Rites.

Don't look at some civil officials and scholars led by Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who are the leaders of this conspiracy, but it is Feng Nian who controls the guards who want to control when the chaos is put right.

Emperor Xingyuan first contacted the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, and the eldest princess of Zhaoyang led the soldiers to surround the Feng Mansion, in order to lure Feng Nian out of the palace, so as to make Emperor Xingyuan's return to the palace smoother, and also reduce the harm of these people to the people in the palace.

And now, everything that should be caught has been caught, and it is time to get it

When the truth was clear, the protagonist was replaced by the Ministry of Rites and others.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites was still confused.

It's too fast, they were still in control a moment ago, and they coldly watched the people of the Hubu Shangshu frustrated, and in a blink of an eye, they became prisoners.

He unconsciously raised his head and looked at the majestic emperor on the throne. In this moment, despair surged up, and remorse filled his chest.

He shouldn't have been lucky when he saw someone like the emperor.

"What, don't you want to say it?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu lay on the ground and burst into tears: "The sinner said, the sinner said...... He is Kou Tianming, who was transferred to the prefect of Wanyang seven years ago......

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz of discussion.

"Kou Tianming—" Emperor Xingyuan reacted without much thought, "Kou Qingqing's father, Kou Tianming, who fell into the river and died on his way to his post a few years ago?"

He was deeply impressed, on the one hand, Kou Tianming died on the way to his post, and more importantly, Kou Tianming was Kou Qingqing's father.

The same is true for people like Tobe Shangshu. The sea has been up and down, and there are more officials of all sizes who have died in accidents after twenty years of accumulation, and when it comes to Kou Tianming, he can remember it all at once, or because of Kou Qingqing.

To be precise, it's because of the pomelo.

The eyes of the ministers fell on Xin Yu's face for a while, and on the fake emperor's face for a while.

Xie Zhangyuan took two steps forward unconsciously: "Kou Tianming doesn't seem to look like this—"

Kou Tianming has always been an official, except for some ministers in the same department, there are not many ministers who are familiar with him, but he still has a general impression.

But seven or eight years later, that impression is much more blurred.

Emperor Xingyuan closed his eyes and stared at the fake emperor's face: "I have the impression that Kou Tianming has a beard and a strong body—"

"The sinner didn't dare to believe it when he found out, but this person is indeed Kou Tianming."

"Who told you?"

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had nothing to hide, and cried, "The person who took in Zhang Chen, the son of Zhang Yuchen. This person is a wealthy gentleman in the south, named Qian Lin, and the backer is Zhang Yuchen. Zhang Yuchen and Kou Tianming were fellow scholars, and they were quite close back then, and once by chance he noticed that Kou Tianming and His Majesty were similar, and he remembered it in his heart......

"So, isn't it an accident on Kou Tianming's way to work?" Emperor Xingyuan asked with a pale face.

This shows that Zhang Yuchen and those people had bad intentions seven years ago.

"Kou Tianming's fall into the river is fake, but he actually arrived at Qian Lin's house. Over the years, I have been locked up in a dark room and gradually weakened, and I have shaved my beard again, and I am becoming more and more like Your Majesty......

Staring at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who confessed, Emperor Xingyuan asked sharply, "What about you? When did you know that Kou Tianming existed?"

The Book of Rites buried his head deeply and replied in a trembling voice, "When you go south with Your Majesty."

If he hadn't seen someone so similar to the emperor with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to give birth to Li Daitao's stiff mind even if he had the courage to do so!

"I really didn't expect that Zhang Yuchen is such a talent who plans for a rainy day." Emperor Xingyuan smiled sarcastically, got up from the throne and walked towards Kou Tianming.
