Chapter 189: The Five Princes Are Wronged
Emperor Yue held the document high, and walked to the edge of the Temple of Heaven step by step, overlooking the civil and military officials under the Temple of Heaven.
A gust of wind blew, raising his robes.
"The goddess descended from heaven to save Xunyang, the epidemic has been eliminated, the people are free from suffering, and all industries are recovering."
Every word, every word, was like rolling thunder from the sky, running over the square.
Those civil and military officials were swollen one by one, and some of them directly had black eyes and fainted.
And the others shouted long live and praised the Yue Emperor.
"This sincerity is caused by the benevolence of the emperor, and God has mercy."
"Your Majesty is benevolent, Shun Haotian, and peaceful, and the reason why it is beneficial to the people is also."
"My emperor is diligent in government, wise and martial, loves the people like a son, and is really an emperor through the ages."
All kinds of sycophants are endless.
The fifth prince Ying Jingyu saw that all the officials were in ambush, the prince was lying in a pool of blood, on the pile of corpses on the steps of the Temple of Heaven, Emperor Yue was holding Lao Mao's father-in-law, standing expressionlessly, the figure reflected the vast autumn sky, which looked particularly tall and majestic.
And the warrior king's armor all bowed their heads and shouted long live.
Except for Emperor Yue, as well as Lao Mao's father-in-law, who was bowing down and supporting Emperor Yue, everyone else was kneeling.
For a while, the fifth prince Ying Jingyu couldn't figure out whether King Wu was rebelling or escorting.
But seeing that Emperor Yue's cold and fierce gaze swept down and fell on him.
The fifth prince, Ying Jingyu, felt a little flustered inexplicably, knowing that Emperor Yue was fine.
He rushed to Langya without sleep for three days, taking the lead, at this time he was overworked, covered with wounds, and lost too much blood, so he could no longer hold on, and staggered and fainted.
Emperor Yue retracted his eyes, at this time the commander of the Praetorian Guard Gong Sanmo was seriously injured, and half of the people in the camp in Kyoto were killed or injured.
He also ordered the crown prince to be taken, as well as the rebel Yu Dang Bei Anhou, Jian Ji and others, to be placed in the prison, and ordered the Imperial City Division to thoroughly investigate the case of the prince's rebellion.
āā
When Ying Jingyu woke up, he found that he was already lying in Zhaoxiang.
Because he did not have a king, nor did he have his own mansion, he could only live in Zhaoxiang.
It was dark and dreary, and I didn't know what time it was.
Outside the window, medicine was simmering on the stove, and the smoke dispersed into the bedroom with the strong smell of medicine.
Ying Jingyu got out of bed and was stunned for a long time with her eyes open before she realized where she was.
He touched the bloody clothes on his body, his dark face showed anxiety, and he raised his legs and ran out.
A red-clothed eunuch grabbed him, "Where are the five princes going?" ā
Ying Jingyu saw that this person was the father-in-law of Xiaoshun beside Emperor Yue, his heart was shocked, and when he spoke, his voice was flustered.
"IāI'm going to see my father."
Father-in-law Shun smiled strangely: "The fifth prince saw the emperor, what do you want to say?" ā
Ying Jingyu listened to Shun's father-in-law's words strangely, and seemed to have an unspoken meaning, "What's -āā how?" ā
Ying Jingyu knows that he has never liked his father, and the relationship between the characters in the palace is complicated, he has been introverted since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to struggle out of this complex network of relationships, so he can only be cautious and listen to what other people say, which is always right.
Ying Jingyu stood still and looked at Father-in-law Shun inquiringly.
Father-in-law Shun's face tugged at him, and the smile was still very strange, "The fifth prince fainted and slept for three days, do you know what happened in the palace in these three days?" ā
Ying Jingyu gasped, she has been asleep for three days? It's bad, it's a big deal! Ying Jingyu's heart was about to jump out of her chest, "What happened?" Father, he- is he okay? ā
Shun Gong said: "Your Majesty is blessed with heaven, and you will naturally be blessed with longevity and Kangning." But you, the fifth prince, hehe, I'm afraid it's not going to be a good thing. ā
"How-āā what?"
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Fifth Prince, you haven't been able to sleep well these days."
"Me? What happened to me? ā
"Heh, the fifth prince, you were ordered to train troops in Xunyang, this good man is not staying in Xunyang, what are you doing in the capital?"
Ying Jingyu touched her head, puzzled, "I-I'm here to save the driver!" ā
"Coincidentally, King Wu and Bei'anhou also said that they were here to rescue the driver."
"Huh?!"
King Wu and Bei'anhou were obviously waiting for an opportunity to rebel, but the events on the day of the palace were too chaotic, and Bei'anhou fished in troubled waters, claiming that he had received news that someone was going to rebel in Kyoto, so he hurried to the rescue.
As for why his people fought with the Kyoto camp, it was also because they thought that the people in the Kyoto camp were rebelling, and he was completely trying to save the emperor.
King Wu's rhetoric is similar to that of Bei'anhou.
And the crown prince put all the blame on the head of the imperial historian Jian Ji, claiming that he was completely unaware of it, and that the ministers wanted to force the palace, and it had nothing to do with him.
In the foreign army, you can't enter Kyoto unless you have an edict, and with this alone, Emperor Yue can cure the sins of King Wu and Bei'an Hou, the problem is that the fifth prince Ying Jingyu also did not have an edict, why did he come to Kyoto?
If King Wu and the Marquis of Bei'an are to be punished, then the five princes Ying Jingyu must also be punished.
Although Ying Jingyu is introverted and unsociable, she is not a stupid person, so when she thinks about it, she thinks of all the tricks in it.
Father-in-law Shun let go of Ying Jingyu, folded his hands in front of him, stood aside, and looked at him with deep meaning, "So the fifth prince has thought about it?" Why did you come to Langya, and who asked you to come? ā
Ying Jingyu never expected that he had not slept for three days, and worked hard to rush to Beijing to rescue the driver, but he did not have the credit for saving the driver, but faced the danger of being questioned.
He has always avoided the dangers of the court like a poisonous scorpion, and his only thought at this moment is that he must not implicate the ninth brother.
How dare Ying Jingyu tell the truth that King Ze asked him to come, he snorted, Ren couldn't say anything, and only said: "This matter has nothing to do with others, if you want to punish me, punish me alone." ā
Father-in-law Shun looked at Ying Jingyu with an unkind face, "But why did you come to Kyoto, did you hear any rumors, or received some news, there is always a reason, right?" ā
Ying Jingyu felt that her body was pierced by the gaze of her father-in-law.
The messages he received were all from King Ze.
Ying Jingyu glanced at Father-in-law Shun again.
The expression on Father-in-law Shun's face was unclear.
Ying Jingyu quickly lowered his eyelids, he secretly clenched his fists, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.
"I haven't heard anything from you."
"Then why did you come to Kyoto?"
"IāI don't know."
Ying Jingyu is really not a person who can lie, he only knows that there are some things that he can't say, but he doesn't know what else he can say besides those who can't say.
Father-in-law Shun sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, then I can only send you to the prison." ā
Ying Jingyu's mouth opened, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Soon, Ying Jingyu was imprisoned in the prison.
