Outside the side gate of the palace, the subordinates led by Yuwendu had already arrived, and He Zheng at this time was also waiting for him outside the palace gate early. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Is everything ready?" asked Yuwendu.

"Master, don't worry, I have everything arranged, Master can follow me into the palace. He Zheng replied.

Yuwen nodded, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to quietly enter the palace with He Zheng, he and Zheng Shuo stayed until the end, carefully inspected the surroundings, and only entered the palace gate after everything was safe.

After He Zheng brought his master's men and horses to the outside of the emperor's study, he whispered to Yuwendu: "Master, the people and horses you brought should be carefully ambushed, as the commander of Yulinwei, there is no problem in entering and leaving the emperor's study, and the emperor will summon me at any time, so I should return to the emperor's side at this time." ”

"Okay, you have to listen to my orders at any time, once the prince sends a signal, we will attack inside and outside and kill that Xiao Yan!" Yuwen said through gritted teeth.

"Apprentice understands, please rest assured, I will definitely help Master achieve great things!" He Zheng replied in a low voice.

He Zheng quietly returned to the emperor's study, he did not go in immediately, but just stood outside the door as usual, listening to the emperor's orders.

"Lord Wang, is what Fan Yuncheng said just now true?" Xiao Yan asked sadly.

"Brother Huang, how can you believe what Fan Yuncheng said, he has been harboring the intention of rebellion for many years, and now his killers are afraid that they have all been ambushed in the palace, Brother Huang, you must strengthen your vigilance, don't let a villain like Fan Yuncheng be punished for his treacherous schemes. Xiao Hong said eloquently.

"Lord Wang, you keep saying that I, Fan Yuncheng, want to rebel, and the lower officials have something unclear, and I hope that the prince will explain the doubts to the lower officials: Why do I, Fan Yuncheng, want to rebel?" Fan Yuncheng asked sharply.

"This ------" Xiao Hong was stunned, he was just thinking about how to make Fan Yuncheng a good scapegoat, as for the reason, he really didn't think about it.

"Lord Wang, I, Fan Yuncheng, am loyal to the emperor and sympathetic to the people, not to mention that our Fan family's ancestors have already stated that they are loyal to the monarch and the country, and filial piety and benevolence. Why did I, Fan Yuncheng, risk violating the family motto and create a rebellion that didn't exist at all? Lord, I have come to the capital all these years and have found out who really wants to rebel, do you want to listen to it?"

Now that you see me exposing your conspiracy, you have to think of a way to slander me, your Majesty, you have to see clearly, this person dares to make such bold and wild remarks here, you must be severely punished. Xiao Hong was anxious, he didn't care about the weakness caused by diarrhea for days, and shouted loudly, "Fan Yuncheng, you dare to speak wildly in front of the emperor, I think you really don't want to live." ”

Fan Yuncheng replied coldly: "Lord Wang, you are too anxious, there is still the emperor sitting on it, and the emperor has not asserted my life and death, so you dare to decide my life and death here? Is that the power in your hands is great, or is the power in the hands of the emperor?"

Xiao Yan was also extremely dissatisfied in his heart at this time, the sixth brother was so arrogant at this time, he heard it clearly, he knew too well that this sixth brother had too much power in the past day, and he couldn't distinguish his own identity too often. He didn't want to treat Fan Yuncheng's sin at this time, the Dali Temple Zhengqing in front of him had indeed suffered too many blows in the past few years, and he had already understood the reason, but he couldn't say it, at this time he still refused to believe that the person who really wanted to rebel was the person he believed in the most.

"Someone, go and invite Wei Rui to come to the palace to discuss important matters. Xiao Yan suddenly commanded.

He Zheng stepped in from outside the door, and he replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the general can't get out at this time." ”

Xiao Yan frowned: "Why can't you get out?" ”

"A group of men in black of unknown origin have taken over the palace. He Zheng replied.

"What?" Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that someone would really rebel.

"Quickly adjust Cao Jingzong's army to enter the palace!" Xiao Yan ordered loudly.

After Xiao Hong heard that the man in black had occupied the palace, he suddenly straightened up and looked up to the sky and laughed.

His smile startled everyone, and when everyone didn't understand why he was laughing, Xiao Hong put his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, and came to Xiao Yan's face, the expression on his face was extremely proud: "Brother Huang, now that someone wants to rebel, you can sit so firmly on this throne, little brother is really very impressed." ”

Xiao Yan looked at him with a triumphant appearance, and felt a little sad in his heart, the sixth brother in front of him suddenly felt so strange.

"Brother Huang, do you know whose people are rebellious outside?" Xiao Hong asked triumphantly.

Xiao Yan looked at him gloomily and did not answer.

"Master Fan, listen to the noisy voices outside, is it a person you sent. ”

Fan Yuncheng smiled faintly: "Lord Wang, you are a thief shouting to catch a thief, obviously you are a good killer in ambush." ”

"Who sent those people, I said that you sent it, you sent it, and now they rush in and kill the emperor, and then I will kill you too, and then tell the world, saying that you Fan Yuncheng intended to rebel and enter the palace to assassinate you, and when I Xiao Hong escorted you, you had already killed the emperor, and you saw that the rebellion could not succeed, so you had to naturally apologize. Xiao Hong looked up at Xiao Yan, "Brother Huang, do you think this plan is wonderful?"

Xiao Yan looked at his own brother with sad eyes, although there was too much evidence in front of him, he still chose not to believe it, he didn't want to believe that Xiao Hong really wanted to rebel and usurp his throne. Just after Xiao Hong said these words, he finally understood that even if he didn't believe it, the facts in front of him were facts, and he was powerless to change this fact, he could only watch it happen.

"Xiao Hong, are you ------ you forcing the palace?" He Chen, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help but scolded loudly, "You are really despicable and shameless. ”

"Oh, Lord He, can't you help it now? If you endure it a little longer, after I become the emperor, I may still think about it, keep your official position, and when Lianyi is happy in the future, I may be able to give you a higher official position, but just now you opened your mouth, I am afraid that your good future will be ruined. Xiao Hong laughed.

"Xiao Hong------ you finally admit it------ how many years have you been thinking about this throne you want to join?" Xiao Yan asked bitterly.

"How many years? Brother Huang, don't you know how many years? How many years you have been the emperor, I have been thinking about how many years. Xiao Hong said loudly, "When you ordered me and Zheng Boyu to kill Xiao Baorong, I had already thought about it, but I haven't had a good opportunity over the years, but I won't let go of this opportunity today." ”

At this time, Xiao Yan had already seen Yu Wendu leading his killers to break in, so He Zheng retreated behind the door and stood there silently.

"Xiao Hong, aren't you afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops that Lian placed outside the city? Cao Jingzong is waiting for Lian's order at this time, once Lian encounters danger, he will inevitably lead his army into Beijing to quell the rebellion. Xiao Yan's voice was slightly hoarse, he was making a final effort, hoping that his sixth brother would give up competing with him for the throne at the last moment and continue to be his prince.

"Brother Huang, you estimate that Cao Jingzong too high, that Cao Jingzong is a martial artist, if Wei Rui's army is stationed outside the city, I am really a little worried, at this time, there are ten Cao Jingzong stationed outside the city, I am not afraid. ”

"Your Majesty, the lower officials want to continue to investigate the case of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, I wonder if the lower officials can continue?" At this time, Fan Yuncheng didn't seem to take Xiao Hong's rebellion to heart, he just asked to himself.

Xiao Hong slowly came to Fan Yuncheng's face, and asked sarcastically: "Master Fan, are you stupid to be an official? Do you think you came to the palace today to solve the case? You entered the palace to send you to death, you are a dead person, what kind of case are you still solving here?"

"Lord, since I am a dead man, can't I, a dead man, tell the emperor about this case before I die? You have not yet sat on the throne, you are not yet the son of heaven of Daliang, and you are not qualified to judge me. Fan Yuncheng's sonorous and powerful words made Xiao Hong's already yellowed face even more difficult to look at.

Xiao Yan, who was high above, saw the performance of everyone below clearly, he was deeply shocked by Fan Yuncheng's stubbornness, and in the face of his stubborn eyes, Xiao Yan knew that he had to let him continue.

"Master Fan, Lian asked you to continue talking, you must solve this case today. Xiao Yan said in a calm tone.

Xiao Hong couldn't imagine that his brother was so calm, under his aggressive momentum, he didn't take his forced palace in his eyes, and let Fan Yuncheng continue to solve the case here, he didn't know what kind of medicine was in the gourd of this imperial brother, instead of being stuffy in the gourd, it was better to let them continue, and he could figure it out himself.

"Your Majesty, it's just that human and physical evidence are needed to solve the case, these two things are in the hands of the wife of the lower official at this time, will the emperor send someone to ------ my wife?"

"Fan Yuncheng, without my permission, the palace door can't be opened, how can your lady get in?" Xiao Hong asked puzzled, "Are you crazy?"

At this time, Xiao Yan was also calm, and he instructed He Chen: "Lord He, I have to trouble you to go to the palace gate to see if your brother and sister have come outside the palace gate." ”

He Chen was very strange when he heard this, how could this emperor expect that his younger brother and sister had already arrived outside the palace gate? How did he learn about this? However, at this time, he did not dare to ask anything, but hurried to the palace gate after receiving the order.

There were two men in black under that Yuwendu, and after seeing him leave, they immediately followed him, although they did not step forward to stop him, but they kept following him, staring at him unhurriedly.

When He Chen ran outside the palace gate, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak. But when he saw Ling Xiao outside the palace gate, he was even more surprised.

"Brother and sister------ how did you get here?" He Chen asked in surprise, "Isn't it enough for senior brother to come and die alone? ”

Ling Xiao turned his head to look at the person beside him, who was wearing a hat and a black veil, standing silently beside Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao straddled the burden in his hand on his wrist, reached out to hold the man's hand, and whispered to He Chen: "Thank you senior brother for your concern, Ling Xiao must come today, if I don't come, I'm afraid that your junior brother will really die in the palace." ”

"Alas------" He Chen exclaimed anxiously, "you are really ------ unreasonable, unreasonable." ”

He had to take Ling Xiao and them to Xiao Yan's place, and Ling Xiao and the man wearing the hat knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yan: "The little girl Ling Xiao has seen the emperor." ”

Xiao Yan was in a state of confusion at this time, he just nodded indiscriminately and motioned for Ling Xiao to get up and speak.

When Xiao Hong saw Ling Xiao again, he really hated the root of his teeth, he was obviously not poisoned, but this woman knew about it that day, but she still prescribed herself that extremely powerful laxative, originally he had been taking the antidote prescription before, and his body was not as strong as before, and then let Ling Xiao's laxative be so tossed, it was really half a life gone, he couldn't wait to pull out the sword and kill her immediately under the sword.

"You are Zhang Qifeng, the only beloved daughter of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi?" Xiao Yan asked.

"It's the little girl. Ling Xiao replied calmly.

"Then do you have the evidence of the rebellion of the six princes in your hands?"

"Human and material evidence, the little girl has brought all of them. Ling Xiao then replied.

"Aren't you ------ coming here today for fear of death?" Xiao Yan asked.
