"Pei Yue, how dare you assassinate your Majesty! You will kill the nine tribes!"

The Yin of Xingliang Prefecture, King Duan and Prime Minister Liu Zhang all spread out their beards and hair, and their voices were like thunder.

Except for him, all the brothers of Emperor Zhongzong have passed away. In other words, he is the only elder of Emperor Kaiping, and he is also the highest-status clan member in the entire Tian family. The grief and anger on his face at this moment do not seem to be disguises. After all, the emperor

He was poisoned in the palace, and he, the governor of Xingliang, could not escape the accountability of the court officials.

Pei Yue seemed to have forced himself to calm down from the panic. He first looked at Wang Pingzhang, who had a gloomy face, and then said sternly: "My lord, please don't spit on others."

Liu Xiang roared angrily: "How dare you say that this king is a slanderer? Just half an hour ago, your majesty was fine. In addition to me, the generals under your command also saw clearly. Your majesty asked you to accompany you to the meal.

There are only your Majesty and you in this side hall. Now that your Majesty is suddenly poisoned, is there any point in arguing about who the murderer is?"

He turned to look at Wang Pingzhang and others, and said through gritted teeth: "All the princes are the pillars of the court, how can we helplessly watch such a traitor plot to murder His Majesty?"

Although everyone was still in extreme shock, they did not take up what Liu Xiang said, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed particularly strange for a while.

Pei Yue asked in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang, you said that I was responsible for His Majesty's poisoning. Do you dare to ask me why I did this?"

"Because of you -" Liu Xiang blurted out, but then immediately changed his words: "I don't know the reason why you did such a treasonous thing, but your majesty's poisoning is definitely related to you!"

The pale-faced Dongfu government official Han Gongduan frowned and reprimanded: "Prince Duan, the most important thing right now is to escort His Majesty back to the palace, and then summon the palace and folk doctors to diagnose and treat His Majesty. The matter is not clear yet, but I don't know why you want to

Yelling here!"

Liu Xiang's face turned red and he almost couldn't breathe.

He has been away from the court for decades and has been dominating the Xingliang Mansion. The only thing he fears is Emperor Kaiping. The emperor seems to be like a living dead at the moment. He doesn't know if he will see the sunshine of tomorrow. Naturally, he has no fear anymore.

Subconsciously, I wanted to take the initiative and regard these important ministers as the flattering villains who usually follow me around.

However, Han Gongduan woke him up with just one sentence. Looking at the cold eyes of the new political candidate, Liu Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and defended himself: "Han Shenzhen, I am just angry for a moment, not -"

Pei Yue interrupted him indifferently, looked to the other side and asked: "Mr. Wang, are you sure that His Majesty is really poisoned?"

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of all the dignitaries, Doctor Wang replied in a trembling voice: "Ignorant person...I am not sure."

Wang Pingzhang said coldly: "What's going on? Tell me!"

Doctor Wang said with a bitter look: "Your Majesty's pulse is extremely weak. He seems to be in a closed state. He can't hear or see, and he has almost no consciousness. I have never seen such symptoms before, and there is no record in medical books.

, I can only confirm that His Majesty did not suffer from a serious illness, so I speculate that he was poisoned."

Wang Pingzhang frowned, glanced at the pale Emperor Kaiping, and asked: "Is there any way to wake up His Majesty?"

Doctor Wang lowered his head and said: "No."

Wang Pingzhang looked at Han Gongduan who was standing next to him, and was about to ask when there was a sudden noise outside the house, and then he saw three princes rushing in in panic. With panic in their eyes and sad expressions, they rushed to the emperor's bed, then knelt down and cried bitterly.

, calling Father the Emperor repeatedly.

When Han Gongduan saw these princes being so pure and filial, he was deeply moved. He stepped forward to persuade them, and then they gradually stopped crying.

The eldest prince's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Han Zhengzheng, what is going on?"

Han Gongduan briefly explained the previous events.

After hearing this, the second prince jumped up from the ground, rushed directly in front of Pei Yue like a ferocious beast, and shouted sternly: "How dare you murder my father? I will kill you now!"

Looking at this scene, Liu Xiang felt extremely relieved.

Pei Yue squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the second prince's close and ferocious face. At this moment, he completely calmed down.

The second prince just raised his fist, but he couldn't swing it out at all. He twisted and looked at the eldest prince who grabbed his wrist, with disbelief on his face.

The eldest prince shook his head and said: "Liu Yun, don't forget that it was Pei Yuefen who risked his life to block the assassins for his father at the Circular Qiu Altar today. You and I both witnessed the situation at that time. If he hadn't been loyal to his father,

How could Pei Yue not even care about his own life and death? If he wanted to murder his father, he only needed to slow down a little during the day. Why wait until now to be alone with his father and arouse suspicions that he could not clear up? "

As soon as the words came out, even Pei Yue was slightly surprised.

Is this still the same reckless man who sent people to Lingzhou to assassinate him when he had a disagreement?

The eldest prince let go of his hand, looked around at everyone and said: "My lords, I will go to Kyoto now to open the city gate, and then ask Governor Luo and Gu Junji to take charge of the overall situation in the capital. Duke Wei, I leave this place to you. Please bring the imperial army with you.

Escort my father back to the capital."

Wang Pingzhang nodded and said, "Your Highness, don't worry."

He looked at Pei Yue, with a coldness in his deep eyes, and said slowly: "Zhongshan Marquis, I believe in your loyalty and character, but this is a serious matter, and you can no longer take charge of the military until His Majesty wakes up.

."

Everyone was shocked.

Pei Yue calmly asked: "What does Wei Guogong mean by this?"

Wang Pingzhang stood tall and straight, with his gray hair combed extremely neatly, like an old tiger that could still intimidate the young. He glanced at the commander of the imperial guards and the general of the imperial army who appeared outside the door, and looked at Pei Yue solemnly.

He said: "In any case, you cannot get rid of the suspicion of assassinating His Majesty now. As the Zuo Junji of the Daliang Military Academy, I will temporarily relieve you from the post of deputy commander of the Beijing Army's North Camp. After the truth of the matter is revealed, Your Majesty will make a decision."

"

Pei Yue thought for a while and slowly shook his head.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense.

Wang Pingzhang said in a deep voice: "Are you going to disobey me?"

Pei Yue said: "Wei Guogong, I have nothing to do with your majesty's poisoning. The wine and food in this hall are prepared by the palace. Can I poison the wine and food in front of your majesty? Or should I force the poison to your majesty? The other one, I am

Deputy Commander of the Beijing Camp, you have no right to remove me from my military post."

The power of appointment and dismissal in the Xifu was limited to the commander level. The selection of commanders and deputy commanders of all camps in Daliang required the emperor's nod. In fact, the commanders of many important guard posts also required the emperor's approval.

However, no one cared about this kind of thing at this moment. While they were savoring the first half of Pei Yue's words, they all looked at Prince Duan and Liu Xiang standing next to him.

The palace has always been under the jurisdiction of the Xingliang Mansion, and the people and things here are under the personal control of Liu Xiang. In addition, the talented Liu Xiang couldn't wait to pin the charge of rebellion on Pei Yue, and things suddenly took a different direction.

direction development.

Liu Xiang took a step back involuntarily, his face panicked.
