Chapter 662: On Dividing the Cake
"Who are you, do you know what this place is?"
In the outer hall of Jingtai Palace, Concubine Lan frowned, staring at the group of people who suddenly broke into the hall with a cold face, all of them had a deep breath, dressed like ghosts in legends in the world, and they were gloomy and terrifying, even in this broad daylight, they all gave people a feeling of being cold behind them.
In the face of such a group of people, Concubine Lan Niangniang was calm on the surface, but her heart was also slightly cold, she asked these people if they knew what this place was, but how could they not know that this was Jingtai Palace, the dormitory of the five princes of the dynasty!
But they still broke in like wolves, it was obvious that the people who came were not good, just their dress, people would not think that they were here to greet the five princes or her.
"Zongren Mansion, I was ordered to arrest His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!" the first person showed his waist card and said coldly.
What the?
Concubine Lan's pretty face turned white, and she almost fell, what kind of place is the Zongren Mansion, she has never been to it, she has never been in contact with it before, but she still knows a thing or two, it can be said that when you enter the Zongren Mansion, no matter who you are, you only have to suffer the sin, unless you are pardoned by the emperor, otherwise you will not think of it even if you die.
Of course, the Zongren Mansion is a special institution of the royal family, ordinary people have broken the law, even if you are a high-ranking minister, and even the elders of many dynasties have been squatted in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Zongren Mansion only serves the royal family, and because of this, the Zongren Mansion can be called the nightmare of the royal family, and the color of the talk has changed, not to mention being visited by the officials of the Zongren Mansion.
It's no wonder that this group of people are all dressed up as ghosts, extremely mad, in front of them, except for the current saint, no one can be arrogant.
Concubine Lan never thought that she would have a day when she would deal with the Zongren Mansion, she was unprepared, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Search!" The people of the Zongren Mansion didn't have much patience, and after showing their waist cards to prove their identity, the leader issued an order coldly, and the "ghosts" bypassed Concubine Lan and rushed into the inner hall, and in an instant, the exclamations of the maids came and went.
"Presumptuous!"
Concubine Lan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly stopped: "Stop! This palace is going to ask the emperor for an explanation! Before that, no one is allowed to do anything wrong in Jingtai Palace!"
"No need!" The leader stretched out his hand to block her way, and said without a trace of emotion: "The emperor has specially ordered to present a thing below, and the mother will understand when she sees it." β
β......β
Inexplicably, an extremely bad premonition came to her mind, and her heart "thumped" wildly, and she didn't realize that her voice was trembling: "He...... Things?"
The person at the head presented a long box, and Concubine Lan slowly opened the lid with her trembling jade hand, and a touch of white came into view.
It was a neatly folded, smooth and silky oneβ
Three-foot white silk!
Rumble!
A thunderbolt suddenly bombarded her body, and Concubine Lan's pretty face turned pale, and she finally couldn't bear it, and staggered to the ground, her face pale.
His Majesty...... He actually ...... So...... Heartless?
"What are you doing!"
"It's so bold enough! Do you know who you're arresting? This prince wants to punish you nine clans!"
"Mother, mother, save me!"
"Mother ......"
The fifth prince was escorted out of the inner hall by two officials of the Zongren Mansion, and at first he threatened with stubble, and then he became a panicked cry for help, but when he saw his mother sitting on the ground with a bloodless face, in front of him was a long box that had fallen to the ground and had been opened, revealing a corner of Bai Aya, he was completely desperate.
The father and emperor ordered the Zongren Mansion to take people, give the mother concubine Bai Aya, and even the Yan family was implicated and punished by the nine clans, and no one could save him anymore......
Hateful!
Good regrets!
......
This large-scale purge turmoil finally subsided, the court was half empty, the exile of the three princes, the imprisonment of the prisoners, and the exile of the three princes, almost withdrew from the political stage, and the family suffered an unprecedented blow, the Yan family and the Wu family, the Chen family, the first-class family, the Zhang family, the Han family, the Cao family, the Cai family, and the Zheng family...... or the three tribes, or the nine tribes, all completely disappeared!
It is worth mentioning that almost all of these eradicated families have taken refuge in the second prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, most of them are the second prince and the fifth prince, and the only family that firmly supports the second prince is the Wei family who can protect himself, and the power of the five princes has been eradicated cleanly, and the power of the four princes has suffered the least loss, but in the dynasty, the party is also dismissed, and the influence of the demotion has been greatly weakened.
When Yang Yan got the news, he was also very surprised, although he personally asked Emperor Yang for that secret decree, and the list of people he took was also written by himself, but he didn't expect Emperor Yang to be so decisive and ruthless, especially the treatment of the three imperial brothers, which made him very puzzled at first.
However, after thinking about it, Yang Yan faintly guessed his father's thoughts, and his father may not be able to know everything about the small actions of the three princes, but he definitely knows a thing or two, especially this time Yang Yan almost couldn't come back, which made his father really angry.
When Yang Yan asked the Yang Emperor with the list, although he didn't say it explicitly, how could the Yang Emperor not guess the purpose and motive of his secret decree, so it was logical that he came to a big purge, and the three princes were beaten to the ground at one time.
Such a result was naturally expected by Yang Yan, the original matter of the second prince, he planned to give the Yang Emperor in private, and then the old marshal Ye and Ye Yuning testified, convict the second prince, and then follow the vine to touch the melon, lock the five princes, but the Yang Emperor's actions were faster, which made his original plan directly invalid.
Yang Yan knows better in his heart that the Yang Emperor did this to avoid his brothers from killing each other, he and these three brothers are already incompatible, and one day they will be separated from life and death, that kind of result is definitely not what the Yang Emperor wants to see, this time the treatment of the three princes seems to be ruthless to the Yang Emperor, and it is not a kind of protection in disguise?
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, looking at Shangqing Li's unparalleled eyes, the fragrance was fragrant, Yang Yan shook his head, and said with a light smile: "After the promotion ceremony, I plan to go out to practice, and I may not come back for a few years, and I may never come back, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shui Nianyu glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and said angrily: "Don't forget what you promised my grandfather, do you want to regret it?"
Yang Yan smiled lightly: "This prince didn't say that he wanted to leave you, but when the time comes, this prince will be too busy to take care of himself, and he won't be able to take care of you." β
"Cut! Who wants you to take care of it!" Shui Nianyu pursed his lips unhappily, blinked again, and said with a teasing face: "Besides, when have you taken care of me? Haven't I always been taking care of you?"
Yang Yan: "......"
It seems, it seems, it seems, it was Shui Nianyu who took care of him for a year in the enchantment, speechless......
"Yan'er, how is your Seven Gods Phantom practiced?" Bing Ruoyan's cold voice came, which could be described as appropriate.
Yang Yan replied: "I have peeked into the doorway, but there is still a lack of fire." β
"Come with me. Bing Ruoyan said and walked towards the inner courtyard, and Yang Yan naturally followed.
Seeing that the master and apprentice were talking and walking forward, they completely threw their big living person aside, snorted angrily, and also came to the inner courtyard, and saw Bing Ruoyan pointing at the phantom of the seven gods of Yangyan, and his speech and demeanor were quite intimate.
"Humph!"
She was gone again.
......
As the turmoil subsided and the Praetorian Guards withdrew, the Imperial City returned to its usual liveliness, nay, more than usual.
An elegant inn ushered in three distinguished guests, an old man with crane hair and a childish face full of the atmosphere of a superior, followed by two young people, a man and a woman, the man looked about thirty years old, wooden and honest, the woman was delicate and lovely, and the tender skin was white and red, and it looked like a pair of years at most.
The three of them were quite conspicuous, and the guests who were chatting enthusiastically all looked over to a greater or lesser extent, especially the woman who attracted most of the attention, there were exclamations, and some whispered obscene words, and the man next to her frowned, silently blocking those malicious glances.
The woman glanced at him gratefully, and teased: "I can't see that you also have delicate thoughts!"
"Senior Sister Ling, don't laugh at me. The man's face turned red and he whispered in embarrassment.
The old man asked for two upper rooms, originally wanted three, the promotion ceremony of the Tianyang Dynasty is imminent, the imperial city does not know how many outsiders have poured in, almost every inn is full, the two upper rooms are already the last of this inn, the woman lives alone, and the man lives in the same room with the old man.
It wasn't until the three of them went upstairs that the bottom was lively again, but some of the guests flashed their eyes, left the broken silver, and left in a hurry.
"Ah Qi, what do you think of the current situation in this Tianyang Imperial City?" As soon as he entered the room, Qingyan Daoist asked the man, with a very refined look in his eyes.
Ah Qi thought about it carefully, and then said in a deep voice: "The water is very deep, we have been going all the way, I don't know how much attention we have received openly and secretly, just among the guests downstairs, there are many spies from other forces, I am afraid that they have recognized our origins." β
"That's good!" Qingyan Daoist nodded with satisfaction, and said intentionally: "Now the water here is much deeper than the City of Chaos, although everyone's purpose is the same, but you must know that a cake is so big, one more person to share, the other people will get less share, who would be willing to get less of their share?"
A strange color flashed in Ah Qi's eyes, and he asked puzzledly: "Master's words, the disciple understands, but the new high-level dynasty has a one-year protection period, if that Zhenzong Emperor intends to hide, all our forces may not be able to find it out if we work together, not to mention that each other has a ghost, how can Shizun be sure that this cake will be distributed to the hands of various forces?"
"Hehe, of course the Supreme Realm powerhouse is tricky, if he has been hiding in the shadows like before, it is indeed difficult to find him, and it is even more difficult to keep him, but what if he can't hide?" Qingyan Daoist said with a smile, and he was in his chest.
Ah Qi's eyes froze, and the hands in his sleeves couldn't help but clench.
