[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

King Yu had some confidence in Xia Jiang, relying on Emperor Liang's trust in Xia Jiang, relying on Xia Jiang's loyalty to Emperor Liang in the past, but for some reason he felt uneasy.

Just when he was uneasy, King Ji entered the palace.

Prince Jing is no longer the insignificant and often forgotten prince of the past. He is the Prince of Qizhu, and his status is comparable to that of Prince Yu. His growing prestige in the court has made him a strong candidate for the Eastern Palace.

An incident involving such a prince's life will naturally shake people's hearts and set off a wave of panic.

At this delicate moment when rumors spread and internal turmoil was rampant, Prince Ji's carriage rumbled out of his mansion, surrounded by a simple guard of honor, and headed towards Miyagi.

King Ji is the younger brother of the current emperor, 12 years younger than him. He was still underage when Emperor Liang came to the throne, and he was the youngest in the previous generation.

He is naturally unrestrained and romantic, with a straightforward temperament, he can say what he wants, but he doesn't like to play tricks, he is a born idle prince.

For any emperor who has successfully fought for the throne, such a non-threatening younger brother is the most favored, and Prince Ji is no exception. He has received more pampering from Emperor Liang than any other prince. And privileges, happy and happy every day, surpassing the gods.

But the life of the gods will not always be so smooth and smooth. In this most lively and joyful New Year's Eve, the prince encountered something that made him unable to stand idly by and ignore it.

The carriage of Prince Ji's mansion was driving staggeringly on the main road of the imperial city, which was still soaked in snow. In the carriage, Prince Ji was holding a small stove, with a rare deep expression.

And next to him, there was another person sitting.

"My lord, how about I enter the palace with you?" Yan Yujin asked tentatively.

"What are you going to do? It just made things complicated. Brother Huang still believes what I said, even if he doesn't believe it, so what, I just need to say what I have to say, and I can't care about the rest of the matter." Ji Wang Chang sighed, "To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in these things, but I can't help it. I saw it clearly, so I can't pretend I didn't see it."

"Me too. I'm really nervous when I see it." Yan Yujin accompanied him and sighed, "It's a coincidence, if you didn't go to visit Miss Gong Yu with me that day, you wouldn't have just seen it This matter..."

"Anyway, I can't keep things in my heart, and I'm relieved to explain exactly what I saw to Brother Huang. Get off when you cross West Street, and don't mix with me in the palace. Yes. Brother Huang's heart is deep and suspicious, and he thinks about it when there are too many people talking about it."

"Okay." Yan Yujin nodded, something deeper and more complicated seemed to be hidden under the lowered eyelids, but the expression on his face remained steady.When he arrived at West Street, he said goodbye casually, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.The carriage continued on, entered the palace gate and headed east, and finally stopped outside the Danxi Gate.According to Liang Li, unless there is a shoulder guard specially given by the emperor to pick him up, otherwise he must walk through this gate, so King Ji only ordered someone to find out where the emperor was sitting at this time, and then wrapped himself in thick fur and jumped. down.

With the support of two accompanying attendants, he strode in.

Emperor Liang received his younger brother in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianyi Main Hall.

Without Concubine Jing's personal care, he looked more and more tired, but the pair of eyes under the thick gray eyebrows still flashed with a menacing light that was hard to ignore.

Seeing King Ji coming in, Emperor Liang showed a smile on his face, half-slumped up and greeted him to sit down without courtesy, and said gently: "It's such a cold day, seeing that it's about to snow, and it's the annual holiday, please post a greeting That's enough, why run in again?"

"My brother should have come here to greet you diligently," Ji Wang has always been informal, and sat beside him at the place pointed by Emperor Liang. peaceful."

"What's wrong? Who messed with you?"

"It's not that someone provoked me." Ji Wang sat closer and lowered his voice, "My brother saw something on the fifth day of the lunar new year. I didn't think much of it at the time. The news came out in a mess these days, so I slowly returned. After the smell..."

"The fifth day?" Emperor Liang twitched his eyebrows sensitively, "What's the matter? Speak slowly and clearly!"

"Yes. Brother Huang knows that my younger brother has some friends in the market, and I have occasional contacts. On the fifth day of the fifth day, there was nothing to do in the mansion. My younger brother was very quiet, so I went to visit such a friend. She lives in Dengjia Lane... ...Brother Huang, you don't know that place... In short, it is a secluded private house, very small, and when the window is opened, you can see the alley outside from a gap in the gable wall. At that time, the younger brother was chatting with her, and they were having a good time. Hearing some movement outside, he looked out the window, who would have thought that he would see an acquaintance..."

"Acquaintance? Who is it?"

"Xuanjing envoy Xia Dong. She brought a group of men in blue and shorts coming from the other direction, all of them were holding knives or swords. Because Xia Dong was leading the people, I thought it was Xuan Jing at the time. Jingsi was arresting criminals again, so he didn't take it seriously. But when the younger brother was about to close the window, he saw the criminal's face changed. The younger brother felt strange. At first, the younger brother thought it was Xuan Jingsi. What kind of case is it like to investigate.” When Ji Wang said this, he took a deep breath, “But...my brother later found out that the case of the prison robbery was made that day, and the robbed Wei Zheng...the picture was also plastered all over the place. I went through the four gates, and my younger brother went to see it, and he looked very similar to the face-changing person who was carried away by Xia Dong and the others in the alley that day..."

Emperor Liang tried his best to control the twitching muscles on his face, and said, "Are you sure?"

"There are nine points if there is no ten. When they were waiting for the carriage in the alley, the man suddenly choked up blood and was helped up to let him breathe, so the younger brother could clearly see his appearance... Later he was torn off by Xia Dong□ □, he really looks good, and my ministers can also see it."

Emperor Liang's eyebrows twitched, he still believed in this younger brother: "So, those who were locked up in the Xuanjing Division and those who were robbed are not the real Wei Zheng. But what are they pretending to be Wei Zheng?"

"My brother couldn't figure it out, so I came to report to the emperor." King Ji let out a long breath, "After all, this is not a trivial matter. I heard that you have trouble sleeping and eating because of this matter, and my brother is not talented. I can't share my worries for the emperor, but I can't hide what I saw with my own eyes. But...for the sake of prudence, the emperor should ask Xuan Xiadong, maybe she will explain it clearly when she explains it?"

Emperor Liang was obviously not as optimistic as King Ji, his face was as dark as a pool of cold water, and after a moment of silence, he called out: "Gao Zhan!"

"The slave is here."

"Send someone to the Xuanjing Division..." Emperor Liang only said half a sentence, then stopped, thinking about changing his words, "Call Meng Zhi in first."

"Yes."

Meng Zhi was the commander of the forbidden army, he was patrolling the defense outside the palace, he rushed in immediately upon hearing the call, prostrated himself on the ground, "What's the matter, Your Majesty Xuanchen?"

"Go to the Xuanjing Division yourself and bring Xia Dong to see me. Remember, come and go quickly and secretly, without any delay on the way, and don't let Xia Dong get in touch with anyone again, especially Xia Jiang .”

"Your servant obeys the order." Meng Zhi had the demeanor of a warrior, he got up and left after paying his respects.

Ji Wang seemed unaccustomed to such scenes, and was a little uneasy.

Emperor Liang was full of doubts and had no time to look after him. The two remained silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely stiff for a while.

Fortunately, Meng Zhi brought Xia Dong within half an hour.

When Xia Dong entered the Nuan Pavilion of Qianyi Palace to perform the grand ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, he received the same treatment as Prince Jing did back then.

Emperor Liang intentionally waited for a long time without telling her to calm down, and only when the tense and depressed atmosphere was strong enough did he ask sharply: "Xia Dong, where were you on the day the rebel was robbed on the fifth day of the lunar new year?"

"I went out of the city to pay homage to my deceased husband..."

"When did you come back?"

"I will return at night."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Liang said angrily, "Someone saw you in that...that alley?"

Ji Wang hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Dengjia Lane."

"What are you doing in Deng Jia Lane?"

Xia Dong's face paled a little, but he still insisted: "I haven't been to Dengjia Lane, maybe someone made a mistake."

Originally, King Ji didn't have any special opinion on the whole incident, and Xia Donglai just wanted to hear if she could give a reasonable explanation, but he didn't expect that she would even completely deny the fact that she had been to Dengjia Lane, making it seem like It was his majestic lord who was talking nonsense, and immediately became annoyed, raised his eyebrows and said: "Xia Dong, this king really saw you, absolutely right. There are no less than twenty people around you, although no one wearing Xuanjing Official clothes, but they all obeyed your assignment, and even carried a person who was disguised as a traitor Wei Zheng into the carriage, do you dare to deny it?"

"Xia Dong!" Emperor Liang yelled, "How dare you speak falsely in front of me! You Xuanjing Division, are you still my Xuanjing Division?! In your eyes, besides your master, is there anyone else? Without me?!"

This sentence is already considered extremely serious, Xia Dong's remaining lip color faded away, and he immediately kowtowed again, and his fingers on the ground trembled slightly.

"I believe that Prince Ji will not wrong you. Say, what are you doing in Dengjia Lane?"

The pressure of the emperor's personal trial is by no means comparable to any occasion, and the person who came forward to identify the most important and most trusted prince, so Xia Dong gritted his silver teeth again and again, and finally admitted with trembling lips: "My lord... ...The minister has been to Dengjia Lane..."

Emperor Liang was furious, and asked again: "Is it Wei Zheng who was caught by Xuan Jing?"

"no……"

Recruiting these two items means recruiting others.

Emperor Liang thought about the cause and effect, and was able to put the whole incident together.

"I was surprised at first that the rebels are placed in the Xuanjing Division, guarded by hundreds of heavy soldiers. Unless they rebel, who has the ability to rob them, but they have to be moved to Dali Temple," Emperor Liang said. Fu, staring at Xia Dong almost with murderous intent, "You...you said...the people who attacked Xuanjing Division that day, were you also with you?"

Xia Dong whispered: "Yes..."

"Okay... okay..." Emperor Liang trembled all over, "You guys have a good plan, such a strong Xuan Jingsi, after being broken into by the rebels, he didn't catch any of them, and finally said yes Because the patrol battalion disturbed and let people go...Xia Dong, it's not in vain that I trust you so much, you really have the ability!"

Meng Zhi has stayed in the hall since he brought Xia Dong, he seemed a little impatient at this time, and interjected in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I feel that Xia Dong alone is not enough to plan such a big event, there should be someone behind it Messenger?"

"It goes without saying!" Emperor Liang patted the dragon case and pointed at Xia Dong, "Look who she is? Who can order her to move her? Don't you know who she listens to the most in her life?!" He rolled up again in one breath, choked up and couldn't speak, let Gao Zhan rub it for a while to get over it, and asked again, "What are you Xuanjing Division doing to catch a fake Wei Zheng?"

"Because the real Wei Zheng was kidnapped, so the subordinates..."

"Shut up! Now, who are you going to bite? Huh?" Emperor Liang was so angry that he pointed at Xia Dong's hand, "It's really your master's good apprentice! What did you do alone? Can you hide it from Xia Jiang? A fake Wei Zheng came out? Can you transfer the fake Wei Zheng to Dali Temple without telling Xia Jiang? Xia Dong, Xuanjing Division's first mission is to be loyal to the emperor, but you...you have been deceiving the emperor from beginning to end!"

Xia Dong remained silent.

"Brother Huang, calm down, your body is not good, the most important thing is to take care of your dragon's body. Anyway, it's lucky to find out the matter." King Ji sighed and persuaded slowly.

Emperor Liang took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, looked at Wang Ji, and said, "It's a good thing you happened to run into him, otherwise Jingyan would have been greatly wronged this time. People pulled it into the cover."

"With Emperor Shengming investigating, what is Jingyan afraid of?" Ji Wang smiled, then turned his head to look at Xia Dong again, "Xia Dong has suffered enough these years, it is inevitable that he has become a bit extreme, Emperor Brother should be lenient .”

Emperor Liang sneered and became angry again, "I'm too lazy to deal with her now. Meng Zhi!"

"The minister is here."

"You lead a thousand imperial troops, and immediately seal up the Xuanjing Division. Everyone, including the upper and lower ranks, will be imprisoned in the division to wait for the order. Anyone who dares to move will be executed!"

"I obey the order." Meng Zhi bowed and asked again, "What about Xia Jiang? Does Your Majesty want to see him?"

"He did such a deceitful thing, what do you see?" Emperor Liang was in a rage at this time, and he became even more angry when he mentioned Xia Jiang, "He...and this Xia Dong, all of them will be thrown into the sky prison! "

Meng Zhi bowed again to accept the order, hesitated for a while, and said: "When I went to the Xuanjing Division just now, I saw Xia Qiu escorting Mei Changsu to the prison cell from a distance. Mr. Su looks like he has been tortured... "

"Punishment?" Emperor Liang was startled, "I only asked questions, why did I go to prison? How did I start the punishment?"

"Your Majesty, you know that Xia Jiang has no scruples in acting in his Xuanjing Department..."

Emperor Liang was stunned, and sighed, "Now it seems that Mei Changsu has nothing to do with this matter at all, Xia Jiang probably wants to use him to prove Jingyan's crime... It was my impatience that caused him to fall into Xia Jiang's hands to suffer, You go over this time, rescue him together, and send him back to the mansion for a rest."

"Yes." Meng Zhi got up again and was walking out when a small yellow door hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Minister of Punishment Cai Quan and Minister of Household Shen are seeking to see you, and they are waiting outside the hall to report something important. His Majesty."

Prince Jing's Mansion

Yan Yujin accompanied Yan Zhen a little bored, Yan Zhen peeled a longan and handed it to him, seeing his sleepy look, he sighed.

"Aren't you happy that you lied to Prince Ji?"

"A little bit." Yan Yujin gestured with his fingers, which made Yan Zhen smile.

"Yujin, you are a child who values ​​affection. I know that although you are unhappy in your heart, you don't regret it, do you?"

Yan Yujin thought for a while and nodded.

"Yujin has a lot of things that he can't help himself in this world." Yan Zhen smiled self-deprecatingly, "Of course, we can't use this as an excuse. Yujin, as long as you are worthy of affection, righteousness, and heart, you will be fine." Alright. Where can we get the double perfection method? Some things that make friends who care about you sad, if you don’t say it, it’s not a kind of fulfillment. Your friendship with King Ji is just a matter of heart, do you understand?"

Yan Yujin's understanding was extremely high, and he showed a smile as bright as the sun in a moment.

Yan Zhen raised her hand and stroked his hair.

Who in this world is not deceiving himself and others when he is sober.
