Chapter 255: The Longest Night (19)】
In the jade hall.
King Ning's second question began.
"Brother Chen's second question, I want to ask, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know a craftsman named Jin Wufu?" Chen mocked for a moment, and then said, "Oh, Your Highness also knows that Brother Chen, I am a person, I am used to being idle on weekdays, I don't know how to learn, what I like is some strange and skillful skills, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, here I have to ask my father, Your Highness, and all the adults to forgive me." ”
"This person, I don't know each other, what's wrong?" Chen Jianwei also asked again patiently.
"That's right, this Jin is useless, knowledgeable, outstanding in technique, very good at making some antique old things, on the capital city, one-third of the antique fakes are from this person's hand, it can be said that his counterfeiting skills have reached the peak. Chen Jianwei asked, and Chen Mock Feng took the opportunity to introduce this Jin Wufu in great detail.
"Oh, so what?" said Chen, who said with interest.
One day, the younger brother brought good wine to play with him, and he said to me in a very strange tone, "Oh, today I met a fool, and I actually exchanged the real thing for my fake thing, and I was surprised after speaking. Chen mocked the wind very dutifully continued to tell this story, "The younger brother said, what is a good thing, Jin Wufu refused to take it out at first, saying that he wanted to keep it secret for the guests, but after drinking a jar of drunken flower yin that the younger brother took that day, he immediately took it out to show off, the younger brother didn't know if he didn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, His Royal Highness can know, what is it?"
"What?" Chen even smiled.
"That's it. Chen Weifeng took out something from his arms, which was lying in the palm of his hand, exuding a scarlet texture in the moonlight and lights, and it was actually a fine piece of blood jade.
"This is ......" The old prime minister Yuan Bailu was taken aback first, as if he recognized something.
"This is a piece of dragon blood jade, and the most important thing is that there is another word on it. Chen mocked up as he spoke, and suddenly erected the piece of dragon blood jade from the center of his palm, and the light reflected down, reflecting the piece of blood jade itself, and faintly printing a word engraved on the piece of jade.
It's an an.
"Ah......" Yuan Bailu leaned closer, and when he saw this word, he suddenly leaned back, as if he was completely frightened.
"This ......," the old prime minister did not dare to speak.
"If Xiao Wang is not mistaken, this piece of dragon blood jade is one of those precious stones that my father gave to our brothers and sisters on his fortieth birthday. Chen Weifeng said and took out another piece, which was really similar to the one in his hand, except for the words engraved on it.
Among the many princes and princesses, there is a character in the name......
Everyone stopped talking, but just looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chen Jianwei absently.
"It's lonely, but I lost it a few years ago, and I was afraid that my father would blame me, so I didn't say it, but I didn't know that it had fallen into the hands of this kind of person, it was really ......" Chen Jianwei also generously admitted at this time.
"It's dangerous. Chen Weifeng answered.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Chen was puzzled.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you know what the person who exchanged the real thing for the fake thing for?"
"What?"
"A piece of tortoise shell. ”
"A piece of tortoiseshell?"
"A tortoise shell engraved with a great rebellion. ”
"Where is the tortoiseshell?"
"Coincidentally, the gold is useless, there is a habit, every time I finish making an object, I will make the same one as it is, and it just so happens that the tortoise shell is now on me. Chen said and took out another thing from his arms.
Seeing the words on it clearly by the light and moonlight, the old prime minister Yuan Bailu let out a third exclamation.
Not because of anything else, but because there is a sentence written on it: Peace and ancient can be replaced by heaven.
The style of the tortoise shell was exactly the same as the tortoise shell found in the suburbs of the capital that day, and then sent to the Jinluan Palace, and the handwriting was exactly the same, except for two more words.
"Fortunately, the tortoise shell that day was somehow missing two words, otherwise, Xiao Wang was afraid that he would not be able to wash away this suspicion even if he died. Chen Weifeng sighed very happily, looked at Chen Jianwei, and said, "Fortunately, this dragon blood treasure jade was discovered by the younger brother, otherwise, if it is used by traitors, the reputation of the younger brother will be humiliated, and His Royal Highness will also be attacked for no reason, which is really fortunate." ”
"It's really fortunate, I think this is another trick of Gu Yue'an, this person is really vicious, and he will definitely make you and my brother like a wall. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sighed.
It's a lot of fun.
However, the eyes of the ministers are no longer the same, Chen Yifeng asked two questions before and after, and told two stories, which sounded like they were all false or untrue.
But what people in the world like to listen to the most is false words, even the ministers like to listen to them.
The connection of these two things has been very unfavorable to Chen Jianwei.
But Chen Jianwei was still laughing: "So, does the third brother have a third question?"
"Yes, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is impatient to listen to it, then the younger brother will not say it, it is indeed some hearsay, it is really ......" Chen mocked up and smiled bitterly, as if he had retreated.
"Eh, although the third brother said, how can you be the kind of person who is cautious?" Chen Jianwei was still generous.
"Then, the third question of the minister, where was His Highness on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month?" Chen Yifeng got Chen Jianwei's permission, and asked again, this question seemed a little unpolite.
"In the drunken fairy building, drink and admire the moon. Chen Jianwei didn't think about it and said, "That day, Qin Mingyue slashed the building with a sword, and everyone in the Drunken Immortal Building saw me there." ”
"Yes, that night, Qin Mingyue in Shuzhong slashed the building with a sword, and only then did the later decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, so at the same time, there was also Gu Yue'an. Chen mocked up for a moment, and then said, "Then, may I ask Your Highness, that night, you went to the Drunken Immortal Tower, is there a reason?"
"I wanted to drink, so I went, but did I need any reason?" Chen Jianwei asked with a smile, but his smile was a little cold.
"No one invited?" Chen Weifeng was unconscious, still asking.
"Nope. Chen Jianxi stopped laughing, just shook his head.
"Really, not?" Chen mocked and pressed step by step.
"Not really. "Chen Jianwei has already bitten the words.
"Good. Chen Weifeng nodded, and then suddenly said to Yuan Bailu, "Yuan Xiang, you also pointed out our calligraphy in the past, and you used to praise His Highness's words, saying that His Highness is in a class of its own, and it is difficult for outsiders to imitate it, right?"
"Yes, the old man once said, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has strong martial arts, and his pen is like a gun, and the sharpness of the pen is rare in the world, and no one can imitate it. Yuan Bailu nodded.
"So...... Please also take a look at this letter, Prime Minister. Chen Dianfeng said and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yuan Bailu, when Yuan Bailu was about to take the letter, Chen Jianlu's body moved obviously, but when he found that Chen Dianfeng suddenly turned his head to look at him, he stood there again without moving, but his face became ugly.
The old prime minister was old, and he trembled for a long time before he took out the letterhead, and when he read the contents of it, he almost couldn't hold the paper, but finally pinched it.
And then there was silence.
"What's written on it?" Chen Jianwei couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Bailu glanced up at Chen Weifeng, and then went to see the emperor on the throne.
The emperor didn't mean to pay attention to him at all, and finally Chen mocked and said, "Prime Minister, read it." ”
“...... Your Highness, offended. Yuan Bailu bowed to Chen Jianyu, cleared his throat, and read, "Lanyu, find a way to let your daughter go to Beijing before August 15 to find trouble with Cui Li." ”
There is no payment.
But this sentence was enough to make the entire Hanyu Hall silent.
Qin Ren Qin Lanyu, the head of the Qin family, although he does not have any fame, he is just a commoner, but he is also the head of the Qin family of the eight great families of martial arts in Weizhen Shu, even if these ministers and kings and grandsons are no longer familiar with world affairs, they have also heard of this person's name, as for his daughter, it is even more famous, the bright moon in Shu, the dragon tower outside the Guan, how many years have been sung in the capital without hesitation.
Someone wrote a letter and asked Qin Ren to send his daughter Qin Mingyue to the capital to recruit Cui Li's trouble.
This is the origin of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
In other words, this duel, from the very beginning, was planned.
Then what happened after that, everything that happened, including the assassination tonight, must have been inseparable from the man who wrote the letter.
And now the letter that is being spread out in Yuan Bailu's hand, the person who wrote it......
"Prime Minister, is it His Highness's note?" Chen Weifeng finally asked.
“...... Not bad. After Yuan Bailu finished speaking, the whole person kowtowed again.
"Father, son, it's over. After asking the last question, Chen Weifeng turned around, saluted slowly to the emperor on the throne, and then stood aside with his hands down, as if he had just done a trivial matter.
As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chen Jianwei, he was still standing there, not knowing what he was thinking.
It's been a long time.
The emperor suddenly seemed to come back to his senses and said, "Second, the third is finished, do you have anything to say?"
“...... Erchen, there's nothing to say. Chen Jianwei finally turned around and shook his head.
"Nothing to say?" The emperor nodded, "Then the second child, you are finished, now all the evidence shows that you planned everything, intending to assassinate me tonight, and blame your third brother and Gu Yue'an, and then take advantage of the chaos to ascend the throne, although you are the crown prince, but as long as I live for one day, one moment of life, and one breath is still alive, you are just the prince, and the prince's rebellion is also a big crime, you really have nothing to say?"
“...... Father. Chen Jianwei nodded, and then exclaimed, "Father." ”
"Okay, good, in that case, let's talk about everything. Chen Jianyu suddenly seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden, and then he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter shook the entire Hanyu Palace.
After a long time, he stopped laughing, turned his head to look at the third prince Chen Xifeng, and the ministers led by Yuan Bailu, and said: "Hello, very good, especially you, the third child, you are really painstaking, making something out of nothing, fabricating so much evidence of crime, wanting to die alone, and Yuan Bailu, Prime Minister Yuan, you, and your ......."
He pointed to all the ministers.
"Do you think that with these things, with a few broken mouths and a few pieces of broken paper for you pen-wielders, you can touch that position?!" he said the last few words, and suddenly roared, and his hand pointed directly to the throne where the emperor was sitting without any scruples, "Dream! I tell you, all are, daydreaming!"
His eyes were already hideous, and his whole face was distorted, and his eyes were revealed.
"Lone is here to tell you today, why, I'm Da Chen, yes...... Instead of writing with words, swords are always more useful than mouths and pens. Chen Jianwei laughed again, laughed lowly, smiled proudly, laughed happily, and finally laughed unscrupulously, "Come on, someone is rebelling, catching, taking, rebelling, thief!"
"There is a !!" The next moment, a sound like thunder came from outside the Hanyu Palace, and it was a sound of countless voices synthesized into a sound of earth, mixed with the sound of stomping on the ground suddenly, like a heavenly punishment.
Many ministers who had just knelt on the ground fell to the ground softly, and and urine flowed again.
Walking in unison, a group of soldiers wearing the most elite armor drove in from outside the Hanyu Palace, but it was the Royal Forest Army in the palace that should belong directly to the emperor.
"Xiao Moli, the commander of the Red Dragon Guard of the Royal Forest Army, listened to the order, the third prince Chen Mocking Feng and the Prime Minister Yuan Bailu and a group of henchmen, colluded with the rivers and lakes to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, with the intention of rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, on the spot, behead, stand and decide!" The last three words, Chen Jianwei looked at Chen Mocking Wind word by word, and in his eyes, there was endless flames, the ecstasy that had been reached for many years of old grudges, and endless mockery, "How about it?" Third brother, I tried my best and calculated everything, thinking that I had the chance to win, but in the blink of an eye, all your exquisite planning disappeared, and all the evidence carefully prepared for me was no match for my iron army, but it will become your evidence in the future, feel good?"
"The world ......" Chen opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world, "It's mine." ”
This is, really, Chen Jianwei.
"Is this really the case? Brother Huang?" At this moment, Chen Xiaofeng, who had been listening silently, suddenly stood up straight, and no longer had the slightly bent down appearance when he was facing Chen Jianwei before, and the title changed from His Royal Highness to a more cordial Imperial Brother.
His hands were folded and placed on his abdomen, the whole person was as straight as a flag, and his eyes were extremely warm and moist, like a lake and an ocean.
There is no bottom in sight.
