Chapter eight hundred and ninety sixth winter cicada face holy
Emperor Wanlong raised his hand to stop Mi Cangqiong who was about to retort. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he blamed Mi Cangqiong for not understanding the importance.
Mi Cangqiong was startled and swallowed the words that came to his lips, not daring to say more.
"Your Majesty, Princess Mu Chan is a talented general under King Dingtian. Why don't you let King Dingtian come out of the palace to ask why? If there is really something important, it won't be too late to see you then." Grand Tutor Ling Shutong said with a serious face.
Emperor Wanlong glanced at Li Luo, clearly moved.
Li Luo sighed secretly, these years of singing and dancing have already worn away Emperor Wanlong's vigor. It is just a Star Sword. How can he change dynasties with this sword? That would be too much praise for this Star Sword. Until now
I was actually a little intimidated even when I saw him.
Several ministers in the palace nodded their heads, as if the Tutor's statement made sense, but Li Luo already knew the main idea, that is, he was afraid that Hucha Dongchan would be a chess piece of Li Luo's ambush. As soon as Li Luo left Changming Palace, Li Luo would
Before returning to the palace, the imperial decree to kill Yang Wanli will definitely come down.
Li Luo smiled startledly, looked at Ling Shutong and said harmoniously: "Master Taifu, you are putting me in a dilemma."
Ling Shutong asked in astonishment: "Why did the prince say this?"
"The Xingxiu Sword was once the emperor's sword. It was the property of the ancestors. It can't be found anywhere else. But in front of the palace gate, the Xingxiu Sword represents the heroic spirit of Dagan's ancestors. You let me see it on behalf of the Holy Emperor. To put it mildly, I am peeping at the imperial power.
To be honest, it means that I have the intention of disobedience and rebellion."
Ling Shutong's heart trembled. There was no weight between the two rhetorics. Either way, it was a big deal.
Everyone in the palace was stunned. Although they whispered, they did not dare to speak nonsense.
Of course, there is no crime in the Dagan law about meeting the ancestors' sacred objects on behalf of the sky, but the unwritten rule in the court has always been that only the emperor of the dynasty can greet the ancestors' sacred objects. Even if Li Luo does it for him, doesn't it mean that Li Luo is acting as the heavenly prisoner?
national discourse.
As a result, the position of crown prince that had been vacant for a long time might still fall to Li Luo.
Although Li Luo's words were not supported by national law, there was nothing wrong with them. Looking at Li Luo's expression, he seemed to have no idea why he was seeking an audience outside Dongchan Palace.
Nowadays, the Inspection Department is in troubled times. Li Luo has trapped himself in a cocoon and is now walking on thin ice. The Taifu's seemingly reasonable advice has now turned out to be a deliberate attempt to frame Li Luo.
Ling Shutong naturally understood the pros and cons, and hurriedly bowed and said in panic: "The humble minister made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wanlong waved his hands in annoyance and had no intention of questioning the Taifu's crime. He shouted angrily: "Let Princess Muchan enter the palace."
"Yes, I have received the edict." Eunuch Chang stood up and stood outside Changming Palace and shouted loudly, "Princess Xuan Muchan enters the palace."
The voices were heard one after another, and soon Hucha Dongchan would enter the palace with his sword.
Mi Cangqiong whispered an order, ordering the Imperial Guards in the palace to strengthen the guard for fear of any accident.
Emperor Wanlong glared at Mi Cangqiong with dissatisfaction and blamed Mi Cangqiong for unnecessary actions. Could it be that Li Luo's generals were not able to commit murder in Changming Palace?
Everyone in the hall had different expressions, looking at Li Luo who was also confused with suspicion and confusion, but not many people were willing to believe that Li Luo really didn't know the reason for this matter, even Di Jie and the others were no exception.
However, at this juncture, no one dares to mention the matter of Yang Wanli again. Even if Emperor Wanlong is neglecting the affairs of the court, mentioning it at this time has the meaning of pressing him.
In all likelihood, Emperor Wanlong would become suspicious, which would be unsightly. He had made up his mind that no matter what Hucha Dongchan did, he would definitely settle Yang Wanli's matter before retreating from the court.
After a while, Hucha Dongchan, with a frosty face, entered the palace first, followed by two people. One was Shao Jinzhao, the general of the cavalry, and there was another person standing beside him, it was Jie Cheng who had a look of decadence and death.
Although Hucha Dongchan was so bold, he was a little flustered when he saw the civil and military officials of the court after entering the palace. However, when he saw Li Luo in front of the officials, he became more courageous and shouted in a crisp voice: "General, I will call Dongchan to pay homage to His Majesty.
"
There is an intention to pay homage, but there is no actual intention of kneeling down.
The ministers in the palace did not take it seriously. Hucha Dongchan was born in the Keku tribe of Muzhou. It is understandable that he had the gift of the late emperor not to kneel. In addition, with the Xingxu Sword in his hand, if he really knelt down, he would be embarrassed by the people in the court.
The emperor does not know what to do.
Emperor Wanlong stood up, bowed, and said to Yan, "Pingshen."
Hucha Dongchan was stunned, waved his hands and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, oh, Father, don't stand up."
Perhaps Hucha Dongchan's unintentional expression made Emperor Wanlong feel relieved. He smiled and said, "Dongchan, you have the Star Sword in your hand. I should stand up to greet you."
"Ah!?" Hucha Dongchan was confused and looked down at the Xingxu Sword in his hand, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
"Return to the sheath." Li Luo scolded in a low voice.
Hucha Dongchan hurriedly put the Xingxu Sword back into its scabbard. Emperor Wanlong then sat back on the throne and asked pleasantly: "Dongchan, why did you come to the palace to see me?"
Hucha Dongchan stepped aside from the two people behind him, pointed at Jicheng, his pretty face turned cold, and said loudly: "I came here because of him."
Many people in the palace had already recognized Jie Cheng, and they all looked surprised. They didn't know how this prisoner of Xirong fell into the hands of Hucha Dongchan.
"Jie City?" The expressions of several important officials in the court changed slightly, and they watched the changes.
Emperor Wanlong looked at the ashen-faced Jie Cheng in the palace with some astonishment, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is kneeling below?"
Mi Cangqiong whispered in his ear, and Emperor Wanlong suddenly realized: "It turns out he is the king of Xirong. How did he provoke you?"
The last sentence was about Xiang Hucha Dongchan, and his tone was obviously much softer.
"Your Majesty, Jie Cheng left Zhuocheng privately and was intercepted by us outside the city. He believed that he had an official document issued by the imperial court in his hand that would allow him to leave the city."
Hucha Dongchan was very straightforward, and briefly explained what happened outside the city without any ambiguity. After that, his face turned cold, and Youhan continued, "Your Majesty, Dongchan broke into the palace with a sword. This incident was caused by Dongchan's eyes.
If you disrespect your elders, you should be punished.
But Dong Chan wants to know that our Dagan and Xirong have been fighting for decades, and hundreds of thousands of Dagan'erlangs who could not return to their hometowns have been buried on the land of the three prefectures of Xifu, and it was not easy to build today's foundation.
This man's hands are stained with the blood of the people of Dagan. Letting him live is a sign of the imperial court's deep kindness, but why should he be allowed to return to Zhuocheng? Dongchan refuses to accept it!"
As Hucha Dongchan shouted, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed. These words came from the mouth of a general who had returned from a battle on the battlefield, and these words were particularly sonorous and powerful.
Fortunately, the civil servants and generals all had solemn expressions on their faces. Except for a few people, such as Taishi Di Jie, Wei Guogong Chang Yuan and Chun Prince Li Chengye, none of them had brother Pao Ze and had not seen tragic death on the battlefield.
