"How could the emperor ask you to abandon the city and flee?"
"That's right, don't talk nonsense."
They are all the emperor's subjects, how could the emperor give up on them?
Magistrate Yuan said with a bitter face: "It is really the emperor's order. The emperor wants to force King Xuan to take action. King Xuan loves the people and he will definitely not be able to help but take action. Otherwise, why has the emperor issued one edict after another after so many days?"
The purpose of summoning King Xuan back to the capital is to force King Xuan to rebel so that King Xuan can be captured."
It is up to the people to believe this explanation or not.
After all, the fact that Emperor Lingzhou communicated the imperial edict was known both inside and outside, and there was no way to hide it.
"I heard that the emperor imprisoned the Queen Mother in the palace and tortured Princess Showa to death. Even Prince Qing is under house arrest in the palace. He doesn't know whether to live or die for the time being."
"Could it be that the rumors among the people are true and that the current emperor is not a prince with pure blood at all?"
"Hey, you've heard about this too." The man said with a gossipy face, "I thought it was just a rumor, and I didn't even dare to ask."
"No one knows about this yet. The late emperor left two edicts, one for Prince Qing and the other for Prince Xuan."
"Why did you leave two letters?"
"I'm probably afraid that something will happen to one of them."
"But wasn't it said a while ago that there were three posthumous edicts, and one was for the current emperor?"
After saying this, he immediately attracted ridicule.
"You are stupid. The late emperor only had three sons. Why did he leave three testaments? Doesn't this show that the emperor wants to fish in troubled waters?"
With this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"Stop fighting, I am really following orders." Magistrate Yuan shouted.
Little did he know that this would only arouse greater public outrage, and in an instant the Lingzhou Emperor's reputation was almost ruined.
He has no regard for the people, is selfish, and is vicious and vicious.
On the city wall not far away, Jiang Yunxu was watching this scene, humming a tune in a good mood. Everything was developing in a good direction.
At least Chu Xuan understood the people's sentiments.
His appearance was like the arrival of a god from heaven, saving the people of a city.
The news of Tongzhou City reached the court, and Prime Minister Jiang's expression changed. He suddenly realized that this was a trap.
Magistrate Yuan was obviously one of his own, so how could he bite back at the Lingzhou Emperor?
"You bastard!" Emperor Lingzhou was so angry that his heart ached. He was furious in the court and looked at Prime Minister Jiang with a cold gaze.
Others don't know it, but he knows it very well in his heart.
Magistrate Yuan was a member of Prime Minister Jiang, but now he openly slandered him in front of a whole city of people. Maybe there was Prime Minister Jiang's advice among them.
Prime Minister Jiang was stared at so hard that he never ordered Magistrate Yuan to talk nonsense. He had to stand up and explain: "Your Majesty, please don't be provoked by villains. Although Magistrate Yuan is promoted by Wei Chen, Wei Chen
I dare to swear on my life that I have never given such an order."
"Instigation? Are you saying that Chu Xuazhi instigated all this?"
Now he has become a foolish king and a sinner, while Chu Xuanzhi has become the god of war who saves people and saves others.
Everyone is questioning their own throne.
Emperor Lingzhou said to Prime Minister Jiang: "Since Magistrate Yuan is supported by you, you will go to Tongzhou City in person and be sure to bring King Xuan back to me, so that you can make up for your mistakes."
Prime Minister Jiang frowned and stood there hesitating and did not step forward to reply.
Seeing this, Emperor Lingzhou was even more angry: "Why, Prime Minister Jiang is also questioning my words?"
Hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang had no choice but to stand up and say, "I don't dare."
When Jiang Yunxu heard that Prime Minister Jiang was on his way here, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. He was worried that he would not have a chance to take revenge.
Step on the second wife to get the upper hand and drug her mother, and she will entertain Prime Minister Jiang well.
But who knew that in the evening Yin Lei came to report the news: "Prime Minister Jiang contracted an illness on the way, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come."
"Sick?"
She didn't believe it.
He is really a treacherous old fox. He knew that he would not get any benefits from coming to Tongzhou City, so he refused to come because he was sick.
"There are many opportunities for revenge, and it won't be less than this moment and a half." Chu Xuazhi came over at some point and comforted her. He was also holding a few bags of snacks bought from outside in his hand, which were still radiating warmth.
