Chapter 263: No Jokes
There seems to be a gap between the king and the minister that cannot be crossed, one is like the sky, the other is like the earth, and it seems that it will always be the relationship between the master and the slave, and there is also a rule that makes no sense: the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Ask yourself, what is the basis for this? Why? Therefore, this is the sorrow of being a courtier, and accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, which is absolutely true.
Silence is always oppressive, and after a moment of silence, someone finally spoke again, still the owner of this room, and it seemed that he was the only one who couldn't stand the depression in the first place.
"Zhan Ying, what's going on?, who is this person?" the owner of the room asked in a deep voice as he looked at one of the people standing at the door, with a majestic expression. The person he said was the figure who came out of the gloom in the courtyard just now, and it turned out that this person was Zhan Ying.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister's capital crime, it is really a big deal, so Weichen is brave enough to bring him to meet the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will calm his anger. Zhan Ying, who heard the emperor's question, hurriedly knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully. He was begging the emperor for forgiveness, because it was a capital crime for him to bring outsiders into the emperor's bedroom without permission.
"I'm asking you, who is he, and why is he here!?" the emperor ignored Zhan Ying's plea, and asked sharply again, seemingly more interested in the black shadow standing at the door.
Zhan Ying turned his head to look at the black shadow standing behind him, and then said respectfully to the emperor: "He is the orphan of Wei Chen's former right-hand man Tie Hunting Qin Feng, too," Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "That is, the blood knife that has been rumored in Jianghu Mountain recently." ”
Hearing Zhan Ying's words, the emperor's face changed slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed from his eyes. Looking at the pale young man standing at the door covered in a black cloak, he didn't expect it to be the legendary figure. Although he is in the palace, he is not ignorant of the affairs of the world, not to mention that whether it is the ordinary people or the gangs in the rivers and lakes, in the final analysis, they are all the people of the court.
That's right, this person who dared to break into the emperor's room late at night was none other than Wuxin, Wuxin, and there seemed to be no place in the world where he didn't dare to go. He is not even afraid of the dead, let alone the living, even if this person is an emperor above ten thousand.
A sudden meeting, two characters who can also be said to cover the sky with one hand, suddenly met like this, close at hand. Zhan Ying did not deliberately conceal Wuxin's identity, although this was largely a risk, because no one knew what the emperor would do and how he would do it after knowing Wuxin's identity. But he had to say that because he had no intention of meeting the emperor, it was also part of the plan, and it was very important.
"You are so bold, have you forgotten that you are still a wanted criminal in the imperial court, have you thought about what the consequences are?" The emperor did not pay attention to Zhan Ying, who was kneeling on the side, but stared at Zhan Ying, who had been standing quietly at the door, did not salute, and asked coldly without saying a word.
"Compared to what I want to do and save people, my own life is nothing, I can take it whenever I want, but I have to wait for this rebellion to subside. Wuxin finally spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that should not have come out of his mouth at all, but it was his heartfelt words, and he had never been so sincere.
Hearing Wuxin's words, not only the emperor sitting behind the bookcase was stunned, but even Zhan Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little moved. Who would have thought that such a righteous and awe-inspiring and passionate sentence could come out of the mouth of a man who licks blood with a knife, which makes those who are the pillars of the imperial court embarrassed.
"That's a good point, but some things can't just be said with your mouth, you just said that Huyan Zhuo rebelled, what evidence do you have? Do you know that slandering the court officials is a capital crime, not to mention that it is still a prince who is personally sealed. The emperor shook his head, looked at Wuxin and said, as if he was only surprised by Wuxin's heartfelt words just now.
"That's because the emperor doesn't know what I've done for this rebellion that you don't believe in, and how many innocent people have been implicated and have died for it. Wuxin looked at the emperor and said without concessions, his emotions seemed to be a little excited, not because of the emperor's suspicions, but because of those who knew that they were dead and were willing to move forward without regrets.
"Your Majesty, Weichen received a secret letter today, and opened it without the emperor's permission, the content in my heart is shocking, offensive, please forgive the emperor. Zhan Ying took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the emperor, and said respectfully.
The emperor frowned, stretched out his hand to take the letter in Zhan Ying's hand, opened it and looked at it, his face sank in an instant, and a trace of anger appeared between his eyebrows.
There are only thirteen short words in the letter: the king of Yanmen has rebelled, and Lu Wanshan, the general of Huai'an. This is the letter written by Lu Wanshan coldly, word for word.
After Lu Wanshan sent the messenger on the road, he unintentionally received a cold message, so he asked the people from the six doors to intercept the messenger dozens of miles away from the Shaolin Temple and take the letter back, just because he didn't want some people to see the letter and deliberately hide or destroy it.
"Where did the letter come from?" the emperor asked in a deep voice as he looked at Zhan Ying. In fact, he already knew that this letter was written by Lu Wanshan, the defender of Huai'an City, because he had already received such a letter before, and he was just curious about why the letter was on Zhan Ying's body.
"Your Majesty, the letter was personally sent by Lu Wanshan, the city guard of Huai'an, overnight, and the men of the six gates happened to meet it when they went out on patrol, so they brought it back and handed it to me. Zhan Ying said slowly, although he said that he was active, but it was also a truth, so he said it justifiably.
Hearing Zhan Ying's answer, the emperor's face sank and he stopped talking. What he had been worried about finally happened, originally he thought that after marrying his own daughter to the Yanmen Palace, he would be able to contain the Yanmen Palace, which was becoming more and more uncontrollable, but he didn't expect the other party to take this opportunity to want to commit the next offense and directly blame himself.
"I have another news here, I don't know if the emperor plans to hear it. Wuxin said lightly at this time, as if he felt that there was still a dose of strong medicine.
"No one stopped you, said. The emperor seemed to be a little impatient and said.
"I have received news that the 100,000 troops of the Yanmen Palace's Mansion have left Yanmen Pass, and they have arrived in the area of Huai'an City at this time, and they may wave their troops into the Central Plains at any time," Wuxin looked at the emperor and said lightly, which is undoubtedly an immediate medicine for the emperor at this time.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard Wuxin's words, the whole person suddenly jumped up from the chair, opened his red eyes, stared at Wuxin coldly, and said word by word: "Is this true?!"
Wuxin nodded, and Zhan Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, also nodded.
Seeing this scene, the emperor sat back paralyzed, his face cloudy. From the time Zhan Ying first told him, in fact, he was already half-convinced, but he was a little lucky, thinking that there was still room for maneuver, but he didn't expect that things had developed to this point, and the king of Yanmen had already transferred troops into the customs without permission, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him.
After a while, the emperor seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Zhan Ying and said, "Go and summon the Seven Sages King immediately, and say that I want to see him." ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Zhan Ying looked embarrassed, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this," but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, not knowing how to speak, and he was a little speechless.
"What are you still doing, go quickly. The emperor looked at Zhan Ying, who was still kneeling motionless, suspiciously, and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty," at this time, Wuxin, who was standing at the door, spoke again, only to hear him say seriously: "Hasn't the emperor understood all this now?" He was reminding the emperor to think about why things suddenly became like this.
"What do you mean, what do you want me to understand?" said the emperor as he looked at Wuxin, and the doubts on his face deepened.
Wuxin thought for a while, and said lightly: "Originally, you should have known all this a long time ago, but why was it that in the end, a six-door investigation was carried out, and there was a person in the rivers and lakes to tell you? The 100,000 troops of the Yanmen Royal Mansion are about to enter the Central Plains, and you don't know yet, don't you want to think about the reason?"
Hearing Wuxin's words, the emperor's expression suddenly froze, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes, because he thought of a person, a person who should not betray him the least, the Seven Sages King. But if you think about it, the marriage between the Yanmen Mansion and Princess Ziling was handled by the Seven Sages King, and it happened to be after the blood knife unintentionally burned Yanmen Pass, and recently the Seven Sages King really seems to have suddenly changed a person, and he has fewer words, and he doesn't often appear in front of him.
The emperor didn't dare to continue to think about it, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that all this was from the hand of the person he trusted the most, and he didn't want to believe that it was true, but all the spearheads seemed to be aimed at that person at once, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to him.
"Therefore, I advise the emperor that this is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is better to leave here as soon as possible while the other party does not know that you have noticed. Wuxin said slowly again.
Hearing Wuxin's words, the emperor's face became even more ugly. He is the king of a country, and if he leaves like this, won't it make the whole world laugh at him, and how can the country be stable? How can he be supported by all the people?
"Your Majesty, you just listen to Weichen, while the enemy has not yet attacked here, you better leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Zhan Ying had a bitter face, and pleaded with the emperor with a look of embarrassment.
The emperor waved his hand and said seriously: "Do you want me to give up the country to others with my own hands? Could it be that they will stop after I leave like this? I will not let them succeed, the country is mine, and the world is also mine!"
"If the emperor believes in me and believes in him, all this will be handed over to us, and we will fight against all those who dare to cause trouble at all costs!" Wuxin suddenly took a big step forward at this time, and said angrily.
"It's up to you, why are you?" the emperor said helplessly as he looked at the pale and unashamed young man in front of him. It's not that he looks down on Wuxin, he's also heard of Wuxin's power, but just with a strong martial arts person, how can he resist thousands of troops.
"Because I am Qin Feng's son, and there are countless people standing behind me who are willing to go to the soup for this, and even more for the sake of the common people in the world!"
Listening to Wuxin's words, the emperor seemed a little surprised, he didn't expect such words to come out of the mouth of a Jianghu person. Also surprised was Zhan Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, he thought that most of the reason why he had no intention of wading into the troubled waters was because of Red Feather, because of the grievances between him and the Xian Wangfu, but he didn't expect that this was actually the case. Listening to Wuxin's words, even a person like him who has been in the world for a long time suddenly felt excited.
"Okay, then I'll give you this chance! If you win, the world is so big, take whatever you want, but if you lose, you will be the sinner of the ages, and I will kill you with my own hands and make you bear the infamy of the ages!" The emperor stood up again, his face was blue, and he said loudly, with a hint of excitement in his emotions.
"You have no jokes!"
"Prove it to the sky!"
