Chapter 1535 Chen Xiao: Now, who else would you rather me!
Jinyi Mansion, in the official hall
The soldiers from the Jingying camp held Qiu Liang's arms and came to the hall, and the generals from the Jinyi Mansion in all directions were also controlled by the soldiers from the Jingying camp holding weapons.
Qiu Liang's face was as gloomy as iron, and he shouted: "Qu Lang, why did you take me?"
"The Demon White Lotus sneaked into the palace, and the Holy Emperor was assassinated. As a commander in royal robes, you are guilty of failing to protect him." Qu Lang's face was shrouded in ice, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, he looked at Qiu Liang with cold eyes.
This is exactly the crime that Qiu Liang used to blame Qu Lang for the collapse of the Ancestral Temple a few months ago.
Qiu Liang frowned and said loudly: "Even if I am at fault, when the cabinet issues an official letter of condemnation and the generals from the Beijing camp attack the emperor's military palace, are you going to rebel?"
The assassination of the Holy Lord must have been caused by Prince Wei, otherwise the Holy Lord would not have been assassinated after he reported to the Holy Lord the adultery between Prince Wei and the former Queen Song.
This matter undoubtedly reveals the strangeness of killing someone and silencing them!
Qiu Liang is also Lao Jinyi and has always been an adherent of conspiracy theories.
Qu Lang's face paused slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Come here, take him to the imperial prison, and strictly question him about his collusion with the remnants of King Zhao and the White Lotus demon!"
"Yes." All the guards in Jinyi said one after another.
Qiu Liang said loudly: "The assassination of the new emperor must have been done by Prince Wei!"
Under Qu Lang's sword-shaped brows, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was full of coldness. He said in a deep voice: "Liu Jixian is talking nonsense, stop his mouth!"
We can't let Qiu Liang yell and throw dirty water on the prince.
Seeing this, Qiu Liang became very anxious and opened his mouth to argue: "Prince Wei and Emperor Song..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Jixian stepped forward with a ferocious and ferocious face, and he immediately removed Qiu Liang's chin.
Qiu Liang's jaw was removed at this moment, and he was whimpering and struggling violently. Under his thick dark green eyebrows, his eyes were filled with inexplicable horror.
It must have been done by Prince Wei. The twins born to the former Queen Song and Queen Zhen were both sons of Prince Wei...
This man was filthy and messed up the palace curtains. Seeing that his evil deeds were exposed, he committed such a terrible and evil deed and assassinated me.
Qu Lang's face was solemn, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he said in a deep voice: "Come here, take him to the imperial prison and interrogate him strictly."
At this moment, the Jingying Primary School outside quickly entered the hall and said in a deep voice: "Prince Wei is here!"
Jia Heng was dressed in a black and red sitting python robe, with a wingless mountain-shaped crown on his head, and white mourning cloth tied around his forehead and arms. Accompanied by Chen Xiao, he entered the official hall of Jinyi Mansion.
Qu Lang cupped his hands and said, "I have met the prince in my humble position."
Liu Jixian and the surrounding generals from the Beijing camp on the side saluted Jia Heng one after another.
Even the general of Jinyi Mansion was stunned for a moment, saluted to Jia Heng, raised his hands and said, "I have seen the governor in this humble position."
At this moment, the official hall of Jinyi Mansion was completely silent, except for the sound of breathing, there was no other sound.
This emperor's personal military yamen welcomes its master again!
Jia Heng's expression was extremely indifferent, his stern eyes looked around at the royal guards present, he nodded, and said loudly: "Everyone, please excuse yourself."
"Thank you, Prince (Captain)."
Jia Heng turned to look at Qiu Liang, who was glaring angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Qiu, the new emperor was assassinated. As the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, you are actually in charge of the affairs of the government. You command tens of thousands of Jinyi, but you sit back and watch the White Lotus Demon and the remnants of King Zhao assassinate the king.
Killing a driver is really a crime that cannot be punished!"
"Come here, take him to the imperial prison, torture him severely, and find out his collusion with the White Lotus Demon." Jia Heng's face turned as gloomy as iron, and he said in a cold voice.
"yes."
The sergeants from the Beijing camp who were waiting around them loudly agreed, then, holding Qiu Liang's arms from both sides, he quickly walked towards the imperial prison.
Qiu Liang looked at the young man in the python suit with hatred under his thick eyebrows, and there was already a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly and he winked at Liu Jixian who was standing beside him.
Liu Jixian immediately understood, made a solid case, and then killed Qiu Liang!
As Jia Heng spoke, he turned his cold eyes to the guards of the Jinyi Mansion and shouted: "Jinyi commanded Qiu Liang for negligence, and was even suspected of colluding with the White Lotus demon. Now the affairs of the Jinyi Mansion are under my full authority, and
Qu Langquan has assumed the post of commander of Jinyi Mansion's pro-military forces, while Liu Jixian is still the commander-in-chief, in charge of the affairs of Beizhen Fusi, and you all must listen to his actions."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, all the Jinyi Mansion guards had different expressions on their faces.
At first, Qu and Liu were driven out of Jinyi Mansion by Qiu Liang in a ferocious manner. Then, they placed cronies in Jinyi Mansion. Not long after, the two of them came to kill them again.
Jia Heng nodded and said nothing more.
After arriving at a desk in the official office of Jinyi Mansion, I sat down and sat down again on a tiger-skin chair in Jinyi Mansion. I felt a little bit like I was revisiting my old place.
At this moment, under the blazing sunlight, the boy's face lost its childishness and became undoubtedly majestic and much more calm.
Chen Xiao nodded, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "As for the Beijing camp, Xie Zaiyi has sent people to take over the palace confinement, cooperate with the internal guards to guard the palace city, and check for spies."
Jia Heng said: "The Zhen family brothers will take over the power of guard for the time being and transfer them to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, with Jia Fang and Jia Ling taking over."
"Will Jia Fang and Jia Ling take over?" Chen Xiao looked silent for a moment and asked in a confused tone, "Will this move attract the attention of the cabinet?"
The current cabinet is already in a state of chaos and chaos.
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "The two Zhen brothers failed to guard the palace, which led to this series of tragedies. Let Jia Fang and Jia Ling immediately select a group of elite soldiers and replace the palace guards without making any mistakes!"
He wanted to take control of the palace guards in one fell swoop. Of course, this move might fall in Li Zan's eyes, and he might be suspected of "taking the job in the melon field, while Li is in the crown".
Of course, at this time, we cannot look forward and backward, fearing wolves in front and tigers in back.
Chen Xiao nodded, and immediately ordered a sergeant from the Beijing camp to go and deliver the order to the young general of the Jia family.
At this moment, the way Jia Heng placed his cronies was very much like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo in history.
Jia Heng's face seemed to be shrouded by dark clouds. He was silent for a moment and said coldly: "In addition, Xie Zaiyi and Cai Quan took over the capital camp, mobilized the elite elite of the capital camp, blocked the capital, hunted down Chen Yuan and other evil gangs, and Dong Qian was appointed
Take over the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
Chen Yuan has completed his mission of taking the blame, and the battle between him and the cabinet ministers will probably not involve Chen Yuan.
Chen Xiao frowned and asked: "This matter was not discussed with the cabinet ministers. Did it arouse the suspicion of the cabinet ministers?"
Jia Heng's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Both emperors of the Han Dynasty died due to assassinations. When the country was in danger, I was ordered by the late emperor to help protect the country. I also held many positions to defend the emperor.
Why should they be suspicious?"
It can be said that the current Han Dynasty has fallen into a complete power vacuum. He must take the lead and create a fait accompli, even if this move may cause dissatisfaction in the cabinet.
Chen Xiao thought for a while, looked at Jia Heng with shining eyes, and said: "Now, who else would you rather me!"
Because in the eyes of outsiders, the Chen Han clan had reached its most dangerous moment, Jia Heng, a minister of the Han Dynasty and the son-in-law of Emperor Chongping, indeed had the responsibility to protect the country.
It can be said that the late emperor entrusted his lonely and important ministers to fully preside over the daily affairs of the Chen-Han Center.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go to the eldest princess's mansion later."
Such a big thing happened in the capital, and he wanted to see the eldest princess of Jinyang to discuss countermeasures.
At this moment, the entire Jinyi Mansion official office has gradually been completely taken over by the Jingying General in the hands of Jia Heng.
In Shenjing City, there are also undercurrents and chaos.
The guards from the Jingying camp, Jinyi Mansion, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division went out in all directions to start a thorough search for the White Lotus Demon in the divine capital city.
Every household will receive a knock on the door from the Jingying and Jinyi Mansion guards, and then check for suspicious persons.
This kind of dragnet investigation has completely plunged the entire Shenjing City into panic.
Princess Jinyang's Mansion, backyard——
The eldest princess of Jinyang was wearing a plain dress and a beautiful bun. She was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress in the hall. She was coaxing her son, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"The new emperor has just ascended the throne, so why did this happen?"
Fu Qiufang said: "Your Highness, there are many Jinyi cavalry and Beijing camp cavalry in the capital, searching for the White Lotus demon in the sacred capital."
Lianxue said: "The details of this matter will have to wait until the prince comes to the house to know the whole story."
??????????.??????
Princess Jinyang hurriedly said: "Go and ask someone to invite him over."
Lianxue raised her eyebrows, Yingche's eyes flickered, and she felt a little yearning in her heart.
Li Ren had already been married to Jia Heng before.
While several people were talking, a female official quickly entered the hall and said softly: "Your Highness, Prince Wei is here."
Immediately, a tall and tall young man in a python robe entered the hall from the outside. Facing the concerned gaze of Princess Jinyang, he said, "Jinyang."
Under the slender eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, a look of concern appeared in her gleaming eyes, and she asked: "What is going on outside? How did the new emperor get assassinated?"
Some time ago, he was talking about whether the new emperor would be suspicious of him, and he didn't want to face disaster...
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "The new emperor was assassinated by the White Lotus Demon. The guards in the capital and the sergeants in the capital are hunting for the real culprit."
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, her beautiful eyes showed fright and anger, and said: "It's the White Lotus demon again?"
Jia Heng sighed and said: "Yes, the late emperor was also ambushed by these gangsters in the Ancestral Temple. Recently, you should pay attention. I asked Jingying and Jinyi Mansion and Jingying to dispatch guards to protect you from danger.
Disturbance."
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded and said with concern: "When you are traveling, please send more guards and retinues."
Jia Heng nodded, came to Jia Jie, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "Jie'er, let daddy hug you."
Jia Jie sweetly called: "Daddy~"
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the father and son who were interacting, nodded, and said: "It's getting dark, it's time for lunch."
Jia Heng nodded, said nothing else, and started having lunch with Princess Jinyang.
…
…
To the west of Shenjing City, there is an inconspicuous mansion——
In the backyard and in the study room, stacks of books can be seen on the rosewood bookshelves. Yuan blue and white porcelain vases on the lacquered wood tables on both sides are bright and dazzling under the sunlight, with exquisite patterns.
Chen Yuan stood up suddenly, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, he looked at Ruan Yongde who was reporting the news from outside in shock, and said: "The new emperor is dead?"
He didn't take any action, how could the new emperor die?
Ruan Yongde nodded and said: "Young Master, the city of Shenjing is almost in chaos now. The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and the guards of the Jinyi Palace are searching for the White Lotus Sect and the Young Master everywhere."
Chen Yuan frowned, his eyes flashed aggressively, and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Ruan Yongde's face froze for a moment, his eyes were deep, and he whispered: "It is now being spread outside that the young master sent someone to assassinate the new emperor."
Chen Yuan: "..."
When did he send someone to assassinate... This is a frame-up!
Who put the blame on him?
Just like the people pretending to be Chen Yuan and the White Lotus Sect, they jumped out at this time and claimed to be responsible for the incident.
Ruan Yongde's face showed a look of distress, and he said helplessly: "Sir, this shit basin has been attached to us now, and we can't throw it away even if we want to."
Of course, you don’t have to worry if you have too many debts, and you don’t have to worry if you have too many lice.
"When I saw the assassination of the new emperor, I had many doubts. Is it possible that Prince Wei used some tricks?" Chen Yuan said with a stern look on his face and a hint of coldness in his voice.
At this moment, Chen Yuan just said it casually, but he undoubtedly hit the mark and guessed the truth of the matter.
Ruan Yongde did not answer Chen Yuan's murmur. His resolute and rugged face couldn't help but show a hint of thinking, and he said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are a little confused. The palace is always heavily guarded. How did this gangster sneak into the city?"
of?"
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, and could see the cold light flashing in his eyes, and said: "No matter what, the new emperor has been assassinated, chaos abounds in the capital, and people are panicked. This is the opportunity for me to fish in troubled waters."
The more descendants of that person who die, the better.
Ruan Yongde reminded: "Sir, there are still several cabinet ministers in the capital, and the King Wei is in charge. It may not be easy to prepare for major events."
Chen Yuan frowned, his eyes flickered, and he said in a cold voice: "It is possible that there will be discord between the civil servants in the cabinet and the Prince Wei. When the time comes, trouble will arise against Xiao Qiang, and this will be our opportunity."
Ruan Yongde was silent for a moment and said: "Master, your strength has been greatly reduced now, but there are not many opportunities left for me and others to use you."
Always watching the changes in the situation, Ruan Yongde felt a little anxious.
In other words, Chen Yuan has exhausted his strength in the previous struggles.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and ordered: "Go and contact King Liang immediately. These two brothers have not left the capital yet, so there is no doubt that they will be of any use."
If the two kings of Wei and Liang were used to cause trouble again, it would still add fuel to the chaotic situation.
Ruan Yongde responded crisply, then turned and left.
Chen Yuan looked at Ruan Yongde's disappearing figure with a look of doubt in his eyes.
The palace is so heavily guarded, who assassinated the new emperor? Is it really Jia Heng's son?
But why did he support the new emperor to ascend the throne before? It doesn't make sense.
For a moment, Chen Yuan felt that his mind was a mess and it was almost like looking at flowers in a fog, making it difficult to see the truth.
In other words, it is only after many years that some wise men realize that everything is under the control and arrangement of others.
…
…
Funing Palace, in the palace
Empress Song waited for a while, looked at the female official who had left and returned, feeling unhappy, and asked, "No one was invited?"
How could he be so trusting? Does he not want his child?
The female official said: "Your Majesty, when I arrived at Ningguo Mansion, I informed the people in the mansion, but Prince Wei was not at the mansion."
Concubine Duanrong stared at Empress Song, who had a gloomy expression, and said softly: "Sister, he may be busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty at the moment. The new emperor has just passed away, so he must have a lot of things.
.”
Empress Song thought for a moment, her eyes flickered under Cuili's eyebrows, and she said softly: "Then he is probably in Jinyang Mansion at the moment. Send someone to Jinyang Mansion to look for him."
The female officer responded and turned around.
Facing Concubine Duanrong's gentle gaze, Empress Song had a delicate face and said in a cold voice: "Sister, this is a critical time. If you miss these days, you will never have another chance."
That little fox had promised her back then, and she couldn't let him fool her anymore.
Luo'er is not only her child, but also his child.
Seeing Empress Song's insistence, Concubine Duanrong couldn't say much else.
When the female official went to Jinyang's Changgong Mansion to look for Jia Heng, Jia Heng was talking to Princess Xianning in the back house and looking at the son Xianning gave birth to - Jia Zhu.
The little guy stretched out his two chubby little hands and smiled with two dimples on his face.
Princess Xianning's beautiful eyebrows were curved, her eyes were shining and she looked at the boy in the python suit, and said softly: "Sir, what is going on in this palace?"
Jia Heng sighed and said: "The gangsters sneaked into the palace and assassinated Jin Shang. It was also because the guards in the palace were exhausted. This gave Chen Yuan and other remnants of King Zhao, the White Lotus Demon, a chance."
Only he, Xiaoxiao, and the Holy Mother of White Lotus knew about this dark matter of self-reliance on behalf of the Han Dynasty. It would be inappropriate to tell others about it.
Princess Xianning nodded her head, which was as beautiful as a waterfall. Under her curved eyebrows, her clear, watery eyes flickered, and she whispered: "What do you say to the new emperor?"
After all, he grew up in the palace and knows a lot about these political matters.
Jia Heng said: "The new emperor established the Eastern Palace during his lifetime. Now that the new emperor has passed away suddenly, it is natural that the Eastern Palace will succeed him."
Princess Xianning's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, showed a look of contemplation, her slightly moist pink lips twitched, and she whispered: "Over there, Queen Mother..."
Jia Heng said: "This can only be like this for the time being."
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and Zhen Qing and Tian Niu'er are both his children. Now for the sake of the overall situation, Zhen Qing will be given the position first, but Tian Niu'er can compensate for the position of the Queen Mother.
Princess Xianning nodded and said nothing else. She just sighed secretly, it was really an eventful time.
At this moment, a female official entered the wing and said: "Your Majesty, Funing Palace has sent someone over to invite you to come into the palace."
Jia Heng calmed down, looked at Princess Xianning beside him under his sword eyebrows, and whispered: "I will go to the palace first."
Princess Xianning nodded, watched Jia Heng go away, and said, "Sir, go ahead."
Jia Heng squeezed his son Jia's soft little hand, stood up, and walked outside.
