Chapter 228 The Xuanwumen Incident of the Great Song Version of the Rebel Siege!
Chapter 228 The rebels besieged the city, the Song Dynasty version of the Xuanwumen Incident!
Lu Yihao led a group of civil servants to bow their heads and stamp their feet, weeping bitterly, and knelt on the ground to remonstrate to death.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty promised to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but the emperor's powerful officials publicly executed Hanlin Qingliu!
Although the murderer was Wang Lin, the murderer was Tianzi Sword!
Feeling that he had been greatly humiliated, King Yan Zhao Yu took off his purple gold crown, took off his court clothes, and slammed his head against the pillars of the palace in public!
Zhang Bangchang grabbed Zhao Yu by the waist and hugged him, crying: "His Royal Highness, why is this happening? Why is it happening like this!"
King Yan cried bitterly: "Since the officials have violated the orders of our ancestors and allowed Wang Lin to become a traitor and kill famous officials, we have no excuse to face our ancestors in the Song Dynasty! It is better to die!"
, to thank the subjects of the Song Dynasty!"
King Wu also beat his chest and stamped his feet, shouting and shouting to seek death.
Zhao Ji sighed, stood up and faced King Yan. King Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Two imperial uncles, why are you like this? I gave Wang Lin the Emperor's Sword to kill the traitor, but there is nothing that can be done. Just now, Qin Hui spoke harshly to the prince.
What’s more, it’s extremely humiliating. If we don’t kill him to straighten our moral code, how can we, the Song Dynasty, have any dignity?”
The King of Yan sneered: "Excuse me, the officials. When admonishing officials, they are upright and upright. They take it as their own duty to correct the imperial court. It is their duty to accuse the prince of misconduct. How can it be considered humiliating?"
"If in the name of humiliation, the imperial court can be punished, then what if Wang Lin, a member of the imperial family who was lucky to be promoted just now, relied on the favor of the official family to maliciously humiliate me?"
Zhao Ji was stunned.
Wang Lin sheathed the Emperor's Sword.
He took two steps forward, looked at King Yan coldly, and said word by word: "King Yan, have I ever told a lie? Didn't you ever want to surrender to Cai Cai? I saved you that day.
Hundreds of people, but you are speaking ill of me today. According to King Yan’s logic, isn’t this considered ungrateful?”
"On that day, Cai Jing and Tong Guan's six thieves plotted rebellion, but the crown prince turned the tide. If the crown prince hadn't sent our Fuhu Army to Beijing, you would have changed your name to 'Cai Chen' now, right?"
King Yan's face turned red and his whole body was shaking with anger, but he could not say a word.
The members of the Zhao and Song clan, including Gu Dachuan, who stood behind King Yan, also looked ashamed and speechless.
Zhao Kai walked out slowly and said solemnly: "Wang Lin, merit is merit, fault is fault, merit and demerit should not be confused. What Prince Kuang committed was the heinous crime of having no king and father, and causing chaos in the palace!"
"If you want to incriminate someone, why bother?"
Zhao Kai sneered: "My father's handwriting is here, how can I deny it?"
Gu Dachuan immediately jumped out and showed Zhao Ji's handwritten letter again.
The hall suddenly fell silent.
After going full circle, things are back to where they started.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, looked at Gu Dachuan and said calmly: "Forging an official's autograph to frame the prince of the dynasty is a serious crime that will punish the nine tribes. Gu Dachuan, please think about it!"
Gu Dachuan felt cold in his heart, but he did not dare to say it no matter what: "Who can fake an official handwriting?"
"Bring me some pen and ink!" Wang Lin waved his hand.
The eunuch took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Wang Lin started his painting and immediately copied the letter written by Zhao Ji in Gu Dachuan's hand, and then sneered: "The official's creation of thin gold calligraphy is famous all over the world. There are countless people who imitate the official's calligraphy.
How difficult is it to forge a mere letter?"
Gu Dachuan's expression suddenly changed.
The eunuch took the letter that Wang Lin later wrote and showed it to the officials in the palace. They all had complex expressions and their handwriting was the same. Who could believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?
Zhao Kai said grimly: "Even if the handwriting can be imitated, what about my father's treasure seal? Can it be lightly stamped?"
Wang Lin waved his hand calmly: "All handwriting can be imitated, and Bao Yin is no exception. In fact, there is no point in arguing about it. The official is right in front of you——"
Wang Lin bowed down and said: "I have an official family, and the prince-in-law Gu Dachuan forged official letters in order to frame the prince of the dynasty and kill the nine tribes!"
Everyone looked at Zhao Ji nervously.
Gu Dachuan was even more frightened and his face turned ashen.
As long as Zhao Ji agrees to deal with Gu Dachuan, it means that this letter is false, and even if it is true, as long as Zhao Ji does not admit it, it is also false.
Zhao Ji's expression changed for a long time, then he suddenly sighed, waved his hand and said: "Wang Lin is right, I have never written this letter, and the prince has never done anything immoral. These rumors coming out of the palace are framed.
Crown Prince, your crime will not be forgiven! I will order Wang Lin to investigate in detail and clear the crown prince's innocence!"
"As for Gu Dachuan, his crime of forging my letter is not a small one, but for the sake of the princess of Tang Dynasty, he can be exempted from the death penalty, but he will be dismissed from office, and he will be imprisoned and seize the title!"
There was silence in the palace.
The courtiers, including Zhang Shuye and Li Gang, were stunned. The emperor was equivalent to a slap in the face. As the supreme emperor, his own woman was raped by his son. How could he endure this?
There was silence in the hall, except for Zhao Huan, whose face was filled with tears.
Gu Dachuan soon came to his senses and knelt on the ground, howling and grievances, but was quickly dragged down by the guards.
The royal family princes, such as King Yan and King Wu, stared at Zhao Ji with incredulous eyes. Apparently, Zhao Ji publicly overturned Zhao Huan's case in a way that trampled on his emperor's dignity, which exceeded everyone's expectations.
Zhao Kai's face was ferocious, his gentle demeanor was gone, and his eyes were filled with fierce light.
He took a step forward, looked at Zhao Ji and sneered coldly: "Father is truly a wise king, with a great sense of humor!"
Cao Kun, the Minister of Hubu, looked gloomy and came out of the office shouting: "Cao Kun, the Minister of Hubu, please give me the death of my whole family!"
Cao Kun is Cao Rou's father.
Zhao Ji frowned and said, "Shilang Cao, why are you doing this?"
"Back then, my daughter went to the palace to serve the officials and went to carry out the canonization proposal. News came out from the palace that my daughter was tainted by the prince, and her life and death are unknown to this day. If the prince is innocent, how can I blame my daughter? Several generations of my family have been blamed.
The Qing Dynasty's reputation has been ruined because of this, and I really have no shame in living in this world, so I ask the officials to grant me death!"
Cao Kun kowtowed violently, making a banging sound, and his forehead was stained with blood.
All the ministers were speechless.
Obviously, Cao Kun is trying to force the palace.
Anyway, I would rather die and risk the lives of my whole family than ruin Zhao Huan's reputation.
Wang Lin looked deeply at Cao Kun, who seemed to be filled with indignation and despair, and glanced at Zhao Huan without leaving any trace.
This Zhao Kai is really vicious, with a series of schemes within schemes, and what is even more incredible is that Cao Kun and the Cao family can actually die for him!
Zhao Ji sat down on the dragon chair, feeling ashamed and unbearable.
He originally wanted to end the matter hastily, turn it into a major incident and then silence the maids and eunuchs in the palace who had heard and witnessed it, but who would have thought that Cao Kun would jump out to embarrass him again.
Can he kill Cao Kun's family?
cannot.
Wang Lin suddenly took a step forward and said: "Cao Shilang, Cao Shunyi has been in the palace for several years, but he has not been favored by the officials. Although he was conferred the title of Shunyi in Quzai, the officials...because of the poor health of the dragon, they have never been favored. These things
, there are detailed records of entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you don’t believe it, you can check it out.”
Cao Kun was stunned and shouted: "Wang Lin, my daughter was favored by the official family, and everyone in the palace and outside the palace knew that my daughter was favored by the official family. Everyone in the palace and outside the palace knew it. There was also a disc in the palace at that time. How can I allow you to speak nonsense?!
"
Wang Lin sneered in his heart, the emperor is inhumane and so spoiled!
Zhao Ji was extremely embarrassed and stood up suddenly and said: "Well, Cao Shunyi has not been favored by me. I went to enshrine Shunyi just to appease your Cao family! Cao Kun, please step down and this matter cannot be discussed again!"
"
"It's all nonsense to be thrown into the cold palace, with life and death uncertain. Cao Shunyi is in the palace. Please come and invite Minister Cao to visit Cao Shunyi's palace!"
Zhao Ji waved his hand decisively, and two tiger and wolf guards came forward to lift Cao Kun up and left.
…
When Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the storm had disappeared, and most of the civil and military officials in the palace gradually accepted this reality——
Since the emperor is unwilling to depose the prince, why should they, as human ministers, have to be this evil person!
Moreover, although some things are tacitly understood, as long as the official Zhao Ji refuses to admit his fault, this so-called farce in the palace will be nothing more than a farce!
At this moment, the desolate sound of military drums pierced the night sky, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were faintly heard in the palace. The commander of the Long Xiang Army, Mao Ha, rushed into the palace to report urgently: "Report to the official, Your Highness, Long Wei
The first army, the Imperial City Division's 3,000 Imperial Guards and the Long Hui Army's 10,000 troops are attacking Qingjun's side. Their banner to punish the Crown Prince has been reversed. They have captured the four gates of the Imperial City and captured our Longxiang Army's camp. We are now in charge of the general's palace.
The city is surrounded, and we ask the officials to make a decision quickly!"
Zhao Ji's expression suddenly changed.
The ministers in the palace were agitated!
Zhao Huan was shocked, jumped down from Danqi, grabbed Zhang Shuye's hand and said sharply: "Captain Zhang, when did Long Hui's army enter the city, and why did Long Wei's army rebel?"
Zhang Shu broke into a cold sweat that night and was speechless for a moment.
It was only then that Zhang Shuye suddenly realized that Prince Yun Zhao Kai was far more terrifying than he had imagined. When he had infiltrated the imperial army in the capital, he, the commander of the army, was actually kept in the dark.
The faces of Li Gang and Wu Min also became very ugly.
Zhao Huan immediately woke up. It turned out that the literary fight in the main hall was just an appetizer. Zhao Kaibing was not tired of deception. His real move was to surround the palace city with the rebels. He wanted to stain the Song Dynasty palace city with blood and have a big fight.
The Song version of the Xuanwumen Incident!!
Zhao Huan looked around and saw that the Imperial City Commander Xue Jirang and Yun Wang Zhao Kai were no longer in the palace!
Zhao Ji collapsed on the dragon chair and shouted: "Wang Lin, where is Wang Lin! Help!!"
…
Under the dark night.
The palace city was surrounded by more than 10,000 people from Long Wei's Army, Imperial City Palace Guards, and Long Hui's Army. The sound of swords and guns clashed one after another.
Although two thousand Longxiang troops have gathered on the palace city and are ready to defend to the death. But everyone knows very well that the power disparity is huge, and the situation in the outer city of Tokyo outside the imperial city is unknown. At present,
Miyagi is completely isolated from the outside world.
Zhao Ji led his ministers to the city tower and took a breath of air. He looked at the rebels who had captured Wengcheng in front of him and rushed towards the palace city where he was, shouting slogans of "Qingjun's Side". When his vision went dark, he fell to the ground.
In Zhao Huan's arms.
There are many torches, bright as day.
I don’t know when King Yun Zhao Kai came out of the palace, wearing armor, a white horse on his crotch, and holding a spear, galloping majestically from outside the Wengcheng.
