Chapter 54: Courageous and Loyal
Chapter 54: Loyalty
The queen's imperial carriage is in the front, and Yun Lang stands behind the imperial carriage on a horse. This is etiquette and cannot be misled.
The Prince's East Palace is separated by a wall from the Weiyang Palace. The city walls of the Weiyang Palace are full of soldiers, with flags and flags waving, and bright armor. Especially the eight-magic crossbow, which has more than eight pieces, has brought great pressure to the low Prince's Mansion.
Judging from the terrain, the walls of the East Palace are not as tall as those of the Weiyang City Wall, nor as thick as those of the Weiyang Palace. There is also a moat in the middle. If the moat is dug, all the water will flow into the East Palace, which is considered to have all the geographical advantages.
This Eastern Palace was built by Emperor Jing for Liu Che. At that time, it was a very important thing to be grateful. Yun Lang believed that Emperor Jing was guarding against his ambitious prince and was placed nearby to monitor him.
Emperor Jing did not use this convenient condition, but now it has been used by Liu Che.
Yun Lang didn't know that it was the inscrutable man who brought two catapults to the palace wall. No wonder there was no one on the wall of the East Palace.
If the palace starts attacking, the East Palace will have to passively accept the attacks of arrow rain and stone bombs.
If the general guarding the palace is a little more active, he can put a ladder on the wall of the Weiyang Palace to the wall of the East Palace, and after laying a wooden board, he can carry out a group charge from a high place.
Da Changqiu's voice was sharp and loud. In a short while, the gate of the East Palace opened. Liu Ju, wearing armor, rolled out of the East Palace and crawled out of the East Palace. After seeing his mother, he hugged his mother's calf tightly and cried loudly.
The sensible eunuchs stood around naturally, blocking Liu Ju's ugly behavior, but Yun Lang, who had just dismounted, was also surrounded.
"Removing armor and following your mother's back to the palace!"
"No, Mother, the father will kill me."
"You really plotted against Zhou Hong?"
"No, no, no, no, no."
"Since there is no, then go to the palace to apologize to your father and tell me why Zhou Hong falsely accused you."
"Zhou Hong, a shameless villain, is he slandering the child. Mother, you have to believe the child, he is really slandering me."
Wei Zifu's eyes for help fell on Yun Lang, and Yun Lang whispered: "It's not too late to go here."
Only then did Liu Ju discover Yun Lang's existence, and hid behind his mother in horror and shouted: "He is here to capture me, mother is here to help me, Yun Lang is here to capture me."
Yun Lang shut his mouth helplessly
A man in blue squeezed into the wall of eunuchs and supported the shaky prince and said, "The prince must not lose his dignity!"
Di Shan is here, Liu Ju seems to have some courage, and he seems to have some rules when speaking.
"When Zhou Hong was planning to assassinate his father, the child was discussing with Di Shan about purchasing food from Jin. When the bad news came, the child was preparing to lead troops to rescue his father immediately. Di Shan asked the child not to act rashly, and he also said that Zhou Hong's assassination this time would definitely not be successful. The city guards and Yulin Army had already gone, and the child did not go to the arena again. That would only cause chaos, make the situation more complicated, and be used by ambitious people."
Wei Zifu looked at Di Shan and bowed deeply: "Thank you sir!"
Di Shan had no joy on his face and bowed to him and said, "It's just my duty. Please allow me to meet the saint together!"
Wei Zifu nodded and said to Da Changqiu: "Open the gate of the East Palace and order the Eastern Palace to remove armor. Do whatever you should do, just don't go out."
Da Changqiu took the order and left. From this moment, the guards of Wuzha Palace officially took over the East Palace.
Yun Lang secretly praised that although Wei Zifu was born as a singer and had a humble status, he had long become a qualified politician after years of influence.
He has a very accurate grasp of current affairs and Liu Che's psychological mind.
At this time, Liu Che should have waited for his son to come over to distinguish, and he was already impatient.
The Weiyang Palace may become a battlefield, so the emperor went to Jianzhang Palace. He stayed in Jianzhang Palace for less than an hour and went to the Changmen Palace, which was only thirty miles apart overnight, and his whereabouts were kept confidential.
So, Yun Lang and Wei Zifu took Liu Ju to Wei Palace first, but did not see the emperor, so they were shot from the face. Now Zhong Liyuan, who had a swollen face and a pig's face, knew that the emperor was in Changmen Palace, so he had to go to Changmen Palace again.
Wei Zifu said with emotion: "The news that I don't know is known to you, but Your Majesty ordered Zhongliyuan to report to you and the Lord to know."
Yun Lang sighed and said, "Your Majesty now everyone doubts that if the Wei-Mr. He knocked down His Majesty head-on last night, Zhou Hong's evil thief might have achieved it.
At this time, your Majesty will at least not doubt that the empress will be against him."
Wei Zifu was surprised and said, "Is the situation so dangerous last evening?"
Yun Lang smiled bitterly and said, "The Eight Niu Crossbow bombarded head-on, and Zhao Chong, who was blocking His Majesty, was cut into two pieces by the siege crossbow. I am behind Zhao Chong, and Your Majesty is behind me. If I do not discover the siege crossbow in time, I am going to be penetrated by the siege crossbow.
After avoiding the siege crossbow, another rain of arrows fell. After the rain of arrows fell, we have to face the dangers of charge launched by the gladiators."
When Yun Lang said these words, he couldn't help but look at Liu Ju's face. Liu Ju saw Yun Lang looking at him, trembled and moved closer to his mother.
Wei Zifu smiled bitterly, pointed at Liu Ju and said to Yun Lang, "Do you think Liu Ju has the courage to assassinate Your Majesty?"
If he really had such courage, my father and I would not be so troubled."
At this point, Wei Zifu had no idea to cover up his son. He just wanted Yun Lang to come to the emperor and not to hurt Liu Ju.
The queen's lord Yun Lang naturally didn't want to stay here. After hearing what the queen said, she immediately got off the lord and rode on the horse. Looking at the Changmen Palace not far away, she felt that Wei Zifu was extremely great. As the queen, she bowed her head to the home of her rival for her son's love.
When he saw Liu Che, Yun Lang found that Liu Che seemed to be in a good mood. He hugged half a watermelon and ate it with a spoon alone, which was very emperor-oriented.
"The weather is about to get colder, and this is the last time I eat watermelon this year."
Yun Lang pointed to the outside of the hall and said carefully: "Queen"
Liu Che frowned and said, "What have you found out?"
Yun Lang said: "This is a revenge initiated by Zhou Hong's dissatisfaction with his title, his fiefdom was deprived of his wealth."
"Why did I hear that Zhou Hong said sorry to the prince before he died?"
"Crack down on falsehood!"
"It's that simple?"
"Your Majesty, it must be so simple. Too much involvement will only cause greater trouble."
"You mean, will anyone doubt my rule?"
Yun Lang didn't make any sound.
"If you check it out, your investigation is beneficial to the Han people and is not good for me."
Yun Lang withdrew from the hall and did not see Jiao, which made him a little strange.
After Yun Lang followed the queen, prince, and Di Shan into the Changmen Palace hall again, this time the emperor seemed very majestic.
As soon as Liu Ji's eyes met his father's eyes, he fell to the ground with a thud and started crying in a low voice.
The emperor seemed to have forgotten the existence of the prince. After personally holding Wei Zifu's hand and sitting in the main seat, the ministers summoned him walked into the hall one after another.
After Cao Xiang came in, he stood beside Yun Lang habitually and whispered: "My uncle doesn't want to let go of any traitor."
"Your Majesty has told me just now that it is beneficial to the great man and not to him."
"That's right, Baniu Crossbow, Arrow Rain, etc. are so scary, and it's almost like a catapult to use.
What does this mean? Someone in the army contacted Zhou Hong. Speaking of which, we are also a lineage in the army. Talking less to avoid causing trouble.”
Yun Lang knew that although the emperor gave power to him and Cao Xiang when he was in the arena, the investigation of the embroidered envoy would definitely be more detailed and meticulous.
Now that it has reached the point of summoning ministers to discuss this matter, there must be a preliminary result.
As reports from the embroidered envoy and Wang Wenshu appeared one by one, everything Zhou Hong has done these days has surfaced.
The list of civil officials and generals involved in this matter is merchants, rangers, and arenas are also shown.
There are no less than two thousand people
Yun Lang did not think that the embroidered envoy and the Tingwei Mansion had the ability to figure out the facts one day and one night. He probably found a person, then listed the relationship between the person, and then used a compass to circle the relationship diagram. As long as people entering the circle should be on the list of rebellions.
Yun Lang even believes that this relationship table may be written casually, and the circles are also drawn casually.
Just as he was about to leave the shift to ask the embroidered envoy and Wang Wenshu, the eunuch who was studying documents finally read the name of Prince Liu Ju, and his crime was that he was full of grievances.
The charges were extremely clever, and even Liu Ju could not argue clearly.
Liu Ju didn't say a word, but Di Shan stood up and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I think this is nonsense!"
It was inconvenient to speak, but he wanted to try his best to defend the prince. His originally black face turned black and red by the breath in his chest.
Wang Wenshu sneered and said, "Since it is nonsense, let's make it clear. This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. If the prince continued to speak in this way, when we finished listening, the rebellion would have run away long ago."
Di Shan looked at Wang Wenshu and smiled, pointing at him and said, "I use my life to guarantee that the prince has nothing to do with this matter!"
Wang Wenshu sneered: "How much money is your life worth?"
Di Shan smiled brighter and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty's blood is hot, and your heart is red."
After saying that, someone laughed at the ministers and said, "If you don't believe me, please see!"
Yun Lang secretly shouted "It's not good, and just moved his steps, he saw Di Shan tearing open his clothes, revealing his skinny chest, pulling out the jujube hairpin from his head, stabbing it hard into his chest, and then pulling it out suddenly, a red blood column flew out
Everyone was stunned by Di Shan's tragic behavior.
Di Shan turned around and faced the emperor with difficulty and said, "Your Majesty, I am the first aide in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Everything the Crown Prince does is related to the Crown Prince. Since I don't know when the Crown Prince was planning to rebel, it can be seen that Wang Wenshu is accusing the Crown Prince!
Please give the prince justice so that the world can know that the prince’s father is kind and filial to the prince’s father, and there is no resentment!”
Perhaps because he felt that his life had come to an end, and he wanted to say too much in his heart. Di Shankou's problem of eating finally forgives him once, allowing him to finish what he wants to say fluently.
Liu Che stood up in surprise, faced Di Shan's longing, longing and eager eyes, and finally fell on the chair, waved his hand and said, "As you said, this matter has nothing to do with the prince!"
Di Shan looked at Liu Ji, who was stunned and smiled and said, "Your Highness's kindness of knowing you will repay you in the next life!"
After saying that, he fell softly in a pool of blood, his face full of smiles, as if he was asleep.
Chapter completed!
