The atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn. After Prince Ning came in, Xue Ya sat there expressionlessly, with no fluctuation in the expression on his face.
He obviously didn't care about what Luo Junyao said just now, which was almost sowing discord. He really didn't need to care. Anyway, at this point, what happened to Prince Ning was no longer something he needed to care about.
"Your Majesty, Taifu Su and all your lords would like to see you." The guards outside the door came in to report.
Xie Yan nodded and said, "Masters, please come in."
The guard clasped his fists in salute and turned around to go out. After a while, several important officials of the court headed by Taifu Su walked in.
They walked in on their own, but several others led by Ruan Ting behind them were escorted in.
Fortunately, the main hall of the Queen Mother's Palace is spacious, so it didn't feel crowded at all when so many people poured in at once.
"Taifu." Xie Yan and Luo Jun stood up to greet Taifu Su.
Old Taifu Su shook his head and said, "The prince and princess are so polite."
Xie Yan said: "I alarmed the Grand Tutor tonight. It's because Xie Yan didn't think carefully. I hope the Grand Tutor will forgive me."
Old Mrs. Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty is serious. This matter can be settled so quickly, thanks to Your Majesty's strategizing." He just didn't like to discuss it in advance, which almost scared the old man.
The people who were following Mr. Su also echoed his sentiments. Looking at his former colleagues on the side, they could not help but feel a sense of superiority in their hearts.
This is the difference between standing on the right team and standing on the wrong team.
Everyone took their seats, and those who had no place to sit didn't care and just stood behind.
Xie Yan looked at Wei Changting and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Wei Changting said: "The rebels outside the palace have been basically eliminated. Prince Ancheng led people to the Queen Mother's palace. Gu Jue, Second Young Master Luo and others are still continuing to clear out the rebels in the palace."
Xie Yan nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to Prince Ning.
Prince Ning sneered and turned his head away from Xie Yan, as if he was sure that Xie Yan could do nothing to him, with a hint of arrogance in his brows.
Some of the officials who were escorted in were silent, but others were confident.
The ones who are confident and confident are naturally those die-hard royalists. They do not feel that they are treason. They only feel that they are supporting the royal family and resisting the rebellion of the regent. Although it has now been proven that this may be false, then they are only being persuaded.
The king was deceived.
At this time, an old man at the head couldn't help but said: "Your Highness the Regent, I am very loyal to our ancestors and His Majesty, and I wish I could just die of exhaustion. What do you mean?"
Wei Changting sneered and said: "You are trying your best to rebel and force yourself into the palace?"
The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at Wei Changting and said: "You are so rude! I, I..." Before the third old man could say anything, the old man rolled his eyes and fell straight back.
The person standing behind him quickly stepped forward to support him, "Master Yang? Master Yang, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Yan glanced at it lightly, showing no interest in the excitement, and waved his hand to take these people down together.
These people didn't know how Xie Yan was going to deal with them, and several people quickly shouted that they were wronged. Unfortunately, the prisoners below were no match for the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army, and they were quickly dragged away.
Xie Yan asked: "Mr. Su, how do you think these people should be dealt with?"
Old Taifu Su said with a smile: "These people, if they are all trying to plot rebellion, I think the prince will not believe it. I am getting old, so let the prince decide how to deal with it." After saying this, Old Taifu Su's eyes fell.
When he reached Ruan Ting, who was standing next to Prince Ning, he sighed heavily, shook his head and said no more.
Mrs. Su has always praised Ruan Ting's ability, otherwise he would not have become the Prime Minister of Dasheng at this age.
It's such a pity.
Facing Mrs. Su's regretful eyes, Ruan Ting slowly moved his eyes away, and then lowered his eyes. No one present could clearly see the look in his eyes, nor did they know what he was thinking at this time.
Xie Yan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "First take Prince Ning and Ruan Ting to the sky prison, as well as those who just left, and interrogate them thoroughly with the Third Division, and then see how to deal with them."
Officials from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate hurriedly stepped forward to take orders, and several of them looked a little solemn. This was a treason case, and with so many officials involved at once, there would probably be a river of blood.
Some people couldn't help but think of what happened five years ago, and even if they were in the right position, they couldn't feel at ease at all. Not to mention, officials from the three departments of law were involved. The Ministry of Punishment was missing a Zuo Shilang, the Minister of Dali Temple.
, and there are also several from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The young minister of Dali Temple who stood up at this time felt bitter in his heart, not at all happy that he might be promoted after his boss finished his job.
The dignified ministers of Dali Temple participated in the rebellion, so everyone in Dali Temple was lucky to not be ripped off by the regent.
Sure enough, before they could retreat, Xiying who was standing aside presented him with a box.
The highest-ranking Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.
The heavy weight made the box in Shangshu's hand almost hit the ground, "This is..."
Xiying said: "Returning to your lord, this is a rough list of those who participated in this rebellion. As for the more detailed information, please let me know."
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice only felt that his vision was dark. The rebellion had just occurred, and the regent's palace had sorted out such a heavy box of things.
What does this mean?
It shows that His Highness the Prince Regent has seen these things from beginning to end. It was a joke that Prince Ning made such a big fight last night.
Thinking of this, the Minister of Punishment broke into a cold sweat again.
Fortunately, although he had a good relationship with Prince Ning, they were not involved in these matters, otherwise...
Quickly glancing at the stern-looking regent on the throne, the Minister of Punishment quickly put all his little thoughts away, holding the heavy box in both hands and respectfully said: "I accept the order."
Xie Yan quickly dismissed all the officials.
It was already getting dark at this time. After the commotion last night, the court must immediately appease the people and clean up and repair the damaged places in the capital.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Every part of the palace also needs to be restored as soon as possible. Fortunately, there are no masters in the palace now, and the chaos last night did not affect the concubines living in remote corners.
In addition, the death of the Queen Mother is also a big event, and the posthumous affairs will naturally have to be dealt with.
After seeing off Mrs. Su and others, Yu Mingqiu also got up and left.
He wanted to go back and see his wife first. He was not sure whether he was frightened by the chaos in the city last night.
Xue Ya still refused to confess, so the Master of Ming Yin Pavilion naturally could not take him away. He had no choice but to let the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army escort Xue Ya down first, and he sighed and followed with Miss Qing.
The hall soon became quiet, and only four people, Xie Yan, Luo Junyao, Wei Changting and Luo Jinyan, were left.
Luo Junyao leaned on Xie Yan's arm, looking a little tired.
I haven't slept all night. Now that things are over, I will inevitably feel a little tired after completely relaxing.
Xie Yan patted her gently and said, "Go to the side hall to rest for a while?"
Luo Jun shook his head, "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. By the way, where's A Cheng?" He didn't see A Cheng all night, and Luo Junyao was sure that Xie Cheng wasn't in the palace at all last night.
Xie Yan said: "At the Luo family."
"Ah?" Luo Junyao looked at his brother in surprise.
Luo Jinyan nodded, "The Luo family is protected by the guards of the Xuanjia Army." For Luo Yun's safety, Luo Jinyan did not take the most elite guards of the Dingguo Army with him last night. If we say where was the safest place to go to Yong last night?
, I’m afraid it’s just the Luo family.
Even if King Ning sent troops to besiege the Luo family, he would not dare to break in and offend the Luo family to death. Of course, if King Ning succeeds and has no scruples, the Xuanjia Army officers can also take Luo Yunhe with him.
Xie Cheng fought his way out.
"That's right." Luo Jun shook his head and said.
Although the Regent's Mansion was considered safe, she and Xie Yan were not at home last night. At least there was someone in the Luo family who could accompany Xie Cheng.
Wei Changting sighed and said: "There was quite a fuss last night. The officials in Shangyong will have to lose at least 30% this time, right?"
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "Isn't the imperial examination going to be held soon?"
Wei Changting twitched the corner of his mouth: Is that what I meant?
Xie Yan said solemnly: "From the time of Emperor Gaozu to the late emperor, there has been no time to clean up the imperial court for so many years. There is everything in Yonghuang City. This time I just take the opportunity to clean it up so that they will not get in the way in the future."
Wei Changting said: "Who among these people doesn't have a lot of relatives who are related to each other? You are too harsh because you are worried that those people are not afraid of you enough? Are you secretly not talking about you?"
It happened so suddenly and was so chaotic that many people haven't reacted yet. When they come back to their senses after a while, these people will always come to their senses.
This rebellion, which was just like a joke, was simply an opportunity deliberately given by Xie Yan. Those who thought more deeply might even think that Xie Yan was deliberately leading the rebellion. Although people like Prince Ning deserved their punishment, in the eyes of some defenders, Xie Yan also
He is definitely not an upright and good person.
Xie Yan said coldly: "So many people have wandering thoughts. Nearly half of the generals of the armed guards and the Imperial Forest Army guarding Shang Yong are colluding with King Ning. It shows that they are really not afraid of me."
Wei Changting shrugged and said, "Okay, just don't care." Anyway, the reputation belongs to Xie Yan, not him? Oh, no, will he be called the regent's eagle dog one day?
Something like that?
"The search for the remnants of Luanyi Si hidden in the palace city will be left to you and Jinxing." After Xie Yan finished speaking, he looked at Luo Jinyan and said: "The defense of Shangyong will be temporarily taken over by the Dingguo Army and the Zhenguo Army, and the Wuwei Army will start from now on.
You and Yu Mingqiu will be responsible for reorganizing everything."
Luo Jinyan nodded slightly to express his intention and asked: "Where is the Royal Forest Army?"
Compared with the Wuwei Army, the Yulin Army was the most serious. They were closer to the center of the royal family. Perhaps it was for this reason that the two commanders before and after them were attracted by King Ning.
Xie Yan said: "Prince Ancheng is temporarily appointed as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and the young people from the families of several old generals such as Cheng Guogong and Lu Guogong should also join the army to gain experience."
Luo Jinyan thought for a while and said, "The Yulin Army is indeed a good place to be, and the old generals will definitely be pleased." If they want their children and grandchildren to prosper, these old men will naturally have to work hard.
Wei Changting looked at Xie Yan and hesitated to speak. Xie Yan looked sideways at him, as if asking: What else do you want to say?
Wei Changting gritted his teeth and said: "I am the Minister of Hubu!" Why did he also take on the task of hunting down the remnants of Luanyi Division? Is this what a civil servant should do?
Xie Yan said: "Why don't I ask Marquis Lingchuan for help?"
"No, use it." Wei Changting turned his head bitterly.
If his father knew that he had delegated the task to him, wouldn't he have killed him?
Luo Jinyan and Wei Changting also quickly got up and left. Xie Yan called Dieying to take Luo Junyao back to his house, as he had to go to court.
It is necessary to attend the morning court this morning, otherwise the people in the court will be even more panic-stricken.
Luo Junyao watched with sympathy as Xie Yan, who had not slept all night or even changed his clothes, went out to the political hall of the outer court.
Princess Changling came out with the things and sighed softly when she saw Luo Junyao who was still sitting in a daze.
He placed a cup of soup in front of Luo Junyao and said, "You've been busy all night, let's have something to eat."
Luo Junyao raised his head and smiled at Princess Changling, "Thank you, Sister Huang. You weren't scared last night, were you?"
Princess Changling smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's not like I haven't experienced it before. It's just..." Thinking of Queen Mother Zhu, Princess Changling sighed softly in her heart.
She had always disliked this royal sister-in-law, but now that she suddenly disappeared, she still felt a little sad.
Luo Junyao drank the soup made by Princess Changling and asked: "The Queen Mother..."
Princess Changling said: "The emperor's sister-in-law's coffin is now parked in the palace next to it. When the palace is stabilized, it will be moved to Yukun Palace for safekeeping. I will ask Chang Zhao to come into the palace to help with the preparation. Don't worry.
.It’s just Ah Cheng’s place…”
Luo Junyao was also a little silent. How were they going to tell a child who was only six or seven years old that his mother was dead?
Princess Changling rubbed her eyebrows and said, "It's so good, how come Uncle Ning..."
Neither of them knew what to say. Why did Prince Ning think of treason when he was so old? Or had he always had this idea? After all, it was not possible to win over those courtiers and generals overnight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Junyao said goodbye to Princess Changling and walked out of the palace with Duoying and Linglan. The morning air was filled with the smell of blood.
The maids and maids who used to come and go were nowhere to be seen, only soldiers in armor patrolling back and forth.
In some roadside corners, there were even corpses that had not yet been cleaned up. The entire palace seemed more solemn and gloomy than before in the morning light.
"By the way, where did Qu Fang go?" Luo Junyao suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked.
Duixing said: "They were all taken to the prison together."
"Can Tianlao be able to imprison Qu Fang?" Even Wang Fan couldn't be imprisoned, can Qu Fang be imprisoned?
Duiying said: "Qu Fang was seriously injured and I'm afraid he won't be able to escape unless someone breaks in to save him."
Qu Fang was able to hold on. He had been standing still, and the people who went up to escort him were still very vigilant. After all, it was only a matter of fingers for such a master to deal with ordinary people.
It wasn't until Dieying came forward to check that he discovered how serious Qu Fang's internal injuries were. Even a third-rate expert, let alone a first-rate expert, could kill him. Qu Fang probably knew that Dieying had noticed his injuries, so he finally stopped being tough.
He squirted out a mouthful of blood and passed out immediately.
Die Ying guessed that Qu Fang might be having a very hard time now, not because of the physical pain, but because of the shame of losing to Xie Yan.
After all, Qufang originally believed that he and Xie Yan were equally matched, and it was even possible that Qufang was slightly better.
Tonight, the two of them had a serious fight and found out what the difference was.
Luo Junyao said: "Qu Fang's apprentice is still in the capital."
Dieying smiled and said: "He's the one we've been waiting for. The one named Bai has caused us so much trouble. She has an agreement between the two countries that cannot be touched, so we can't just let it go, right?"
Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this what Ayan means?"
Duoying smiled and said: "Of course, if it weren't for the prince's will, how could the subordinates dare to make their own decisions?"
"All right."
Just as Luo Junyao and Ling Lan got on the carriage parked at the palace gate, Qin Yaoer got in from nowhere.
Luo Junyao looked at her messy hair and smiled: "Where did you go after last night?"
Qin Yao'er said angrily: "Where did I go? I went to help the prince with things. And that Musa!" When the name was mentioned, Qin Yao'er's eyes lit up with fire.
"What's wrong with Musa?"
Qin Yao'er snorted softly and said, "He wanted to poison the palace, but fortunately I found out."
"What about the Musa?"
Qin Yaoer said sadly again: "Run away."
Oh, yesterday was another day where Miss Qin failed to completely defeat Poisonous Scorpion.
Luo Junyao patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "It doesn't matter, you are still young and you will still have a chance in the future."
Qin Yao'er nodded heavily, "The princess is right! Shall we go back to the house now?"
Luo Junyao said: "Let's go to the Luo family first." She wanted to go first to see if her father and A Cheng were okay, as well as the Empress Dowager Zhu's affairs...
Luo Junyao leaned in the carriage and raised her hand to rub the center of her brow. She felt a little groggy after not sleeping all night.
It suddenly occurred to me vaguely: There seemed to be something that they had forgotten.
