Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to identify a person wearing a mask.
But Xu Zhiqiong had only seen Feng Shaoqing wearing a mask. Although he was not wearing a judge's mask, Xu Zhiqiong was very familiar with Feng Shaoqing's figure and movements.
Feng Shaoqing actually followed King Huai?
Is his purpose to show off evil and eliminate evil, or does he have other ideas?
Thinking about Feng Shaoqing's character, it is definitely not about punishing evil and eradicating evil.
Seeing King Huai's head being beheaded, Liang Gongping became furious: "You traitor, I want to die!"
Feng Shaoqing only has a fifth-grade cultivation level. Although he is surrounded by many people, no one can stop him if he wants to escape. This is the judge's natural advantage.
Sure enough, Feng Shaoqing disappeared instantly.
The cultivator of fifth-grade Yin-Yang and seventh-grade killing path also disappeared. His movements were slightly slower because he was using the Yin-Yang magic circle.
He also took away an unknown cultivator, one of the top ten masters under King Huai, and now only one is left, a fourth-grade Suzaku cultivator.
The Suzaku cultivator put down his sword and chose to surrender.
Liang Jixiong didn't expect that the three rebels could escape. He stepped forward to check and found only traces of the Yin and Yang magic circle.
Who can easily cast a magic circle in front of everyone?
Could this matter have anything to do with Taibu?
Liang Gongping didn't care about those three people, he just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Emperor Zhaoxing looked at King Huai's body and burst into tears.
The incident seems to have ended.
But some people don't want it to end yet.
Gongsun Wen suddenly asked: "King Huai raised his troops to conspire against the rebels. The existence of the country was at a critical stage. I followed your majesty and risked my life to fight against the rebels in the Daqing Palace. I wonder where your highness the prince was?"
The prince was stunned. In this situation, this question could not be answered.
Are you saying that I went into hiding with Princess Yuyao?
In front of the royal family and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, did you say that I had gone into hiding?
If this were revealed, where would the prince's face be?
The prince found it difficult to answer, and Liang Yuyao did not dare to say anything.
Gongsun Wen shouted again: "Your Highness, where are you? Is it possible that you have an affair with King Huai?"
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned, what does this bastard want to do?
Who gave him the courage to question the prince here?
He certainly doesn't have the guts himself.
It was Emperor Zhaoxing, who wanted to deliberately embarrass the prince.
He arranged all three assassinations. Although the main purpose was to attract the attention of the three elders, taking the opportunity to kill the prince was also part of his plan.
The prince had no choice but to answer. The label of accomplice had already been taken off.
If you're embarrassed, just be embarrassed, just say you're hiding in trouble!
Just as the prince was about to speak, Xu Zhiqiong said from the side: "The prince and Princess Yuyao each led their palace servants to hide in various places in the palace to ambush the rebels!"
The palace people are scattered throughout the palace. If you say you are hiding from disaster, it would be disgraceful. If you say ambush, this is very honorable.
The key point is that ambush and avoidance are both hidden and cannot be distinguished.
Gongsun Wen sneered: "Ambush? Have you ever fought with the enemy? I don't know how many enemies were killed?"
This is hard to explain.
Liang Yuyao said: "We were ambushed, but we didn't meet the rebels."
As soon as the words fell, members of the clan, civil and military officials burst into laughter.
Xu Zhiqiong quietly kicked Princess Yuyao. Princess Yuyao lowered her head, blushed, and said no more.
If the enemy is not encountered, the ambush will not work. In the military, this is a very common thing.
But this is not the place to discuss military affairs, and the current discussion is not about military topics.
What we are currently discussing is what the prince did when facing the rebels.
The royal family, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty listened with open ears. In the eyes of everyone, they just ran away for their lives if they did not encounter the enemy. All explanations were very pale.
Gongsun Wenming is looking for trouble for the prince. If he doesn't deal with it properly, at least, the prince will be judged as fearful of the enemy and cowardly, at worst, he will be slandered as a comrade of King Huai.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tonight, His Royal Highness has indeed not fought against the traitors."
Gongsun Wen said with a smile: "The rebels have raised their troops tonight. They have not fought tonight, but when will they fight?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "This is wrong. The rebels have already sent out troops. The leader of the thieves sent third-grade Confucian scholars to the East Palace three times to lead the charge. Your Highness risked his life to resist. There were many casualties in the palace, but you didn't know about this?"
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Gongsun Wen.
Liang Yuyao was secretly greedy and made the assassination known as the rebels spearheading the attack. In this way, the prince became the first to fight against the rebels.
More importantly, Xu Zhiqiong revealed the assassin's story. How should Gongsun Wen explain it?
He said that I was not an assassin, I was just an undercover agent next to King Huai, and I never intended to kill the prince...
Such an explanation is even paler. Not only is half of the sentence unclear, but it also leaves an indelible stain on Gongsun Wen.
Gongsun Wen's face turned red, and he glared at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Let's not mention the assassin thing for now. I happened to meet a servant of the East Palace tonight. I will know if the prince has given an order for an ambush tonight!"
He captured an eunuch from the East Palace.
The eunuch was so frightened that he would definitely say that the prince had not ordered an ambush if asked.
Gongsun Wen also used one of the most shameless arguments: Let’s not mention this matter for now.
If it's good for you, stick to it, and if it's bad for you, just let it go?
If you say you won’t mention it, then you won’t mention it?
Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Why don't you mention the assassin? Some of the rebels must have seen the assassin, and there are prisoners here. Who the assassin is, you will know if you ask!"
Everyone looked at the fourth-grade Suzaku.
The fourth-grade Suzaku raised his head and looked at Gongsun Wen.
She did meet Gongsun Wen.
Gongsun Wen's face turned pale. He really didn't understand why the eloquence he was so proud of stopped working when he met Xu Zhiqiong.
If eloquence doesn't work, there are other ways.
Gongsun Wen shouted: "Xu Zhiqiong, I have something to ask His Royal Highness, what is your identity? Is it your turn to answer?"
Xu Zhiqiong also shouted: "Gongsun Wen, who the hell do you think you are? Why should the prince answer your questions? You are just a seventh-grade reading companion! I am the deputy qianhu of the imperial city's Deng Yamen, and I am willing to talk to you.
Just talking makes it easier for you!"
"What a man, what a man!" Gongsun Wen gritted his teeth and forced Xu Zhiqiong to bow his head with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth, causing veins to pop out. He stiffened his neck and refused to lower his head.
You can't lower your head, you absolutely can't lower your head, otherwise this bastard will step on your head and never be able to lift it up again.
Xu Zhiqiong's neck creaked, and the old censor Wang Yanyang shouted: "Gongsun Wen, what did Xu Denglang say? Why are you so cruel?"
Gongsun Wen glared at Wang Yanyang, and Haoran Zhengqi rushed towards him. Wang Yanyang had no cultivation, and was crushed to the ground by Haoran Zhengqi on the spot.
Several imperial officials came forward to argue with each other, and Gongsun Wen said angrily: "You are all involved with the traitors!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, several censors fell to the ground.
Emperor Zhaoxing just looked on coldly.
Gongsun Wen went too far, but Emperor Zhaoxing had no intention of stopping him.
Liang Yuyao shouted: "Gongsun Wen, why did you rebel? My father is here, how can you still act wildly?"
Emperor Zhaoxing said angrily: "Yu Yao, don't be arrogant! In tonight's battle, Mr. Gongsun will take the greatest credit!"
Liang Yuyao did not dare to say anything, but Gongsun Wen became even more confident and increased the intensity of Haoran Zhengqi.
Xu Zhiqiong's eyes were blood red, and when he saw that he could not hold on any longer, his righteousness suddenly disappeared.
Xu Zhiqiong took a breath and was thinking about why Gongsun Wen suddenly stopped, when he heard the prince shout: "Old thief, you think I'm really afraid of you!"
The prince used the eighth level of domineering and the technique of coiling a python to entangle Gongsun Wen.
The prince claimed that he was only at the ninth level of cultivation, but in fact he had reached the seventh level.
He can use ninth-grade skills to force Gongsun Wen to bow his head, so that his cultivation level will not be exposed.
But he didn't want Xu Zhiqiong to bow his head too, and he must not bow his head at this time!
Gongsun Wen smiled coldly. In front of the third grade, the power of the seventh grade was really unbearable, like a baby wrestling with a strong man.
But since the prince took action first, there was no need for him to be polite.
"Your Highness, I just asked you a few questions, why are you so angry? Is there something wrong in your heart?"
The prince shouted: "What is in my heart, what does it have to do with you?"
Emperor Zhaoxing said angrily: "Yuyang, don't be rude! Mr. Gongsun has merit in killing the thief!"
"So what?" the prince shouted, "I am the Crown Prince of Daxuan!"
Emperor Zhaoxing was shocked. This was the first time that the prince dared to contradict him since he was a child.
If this kid is not pretending to be crazy today, is he really crazy?
Who gave him the courage? Xu Zhiqiong?
Emperor Zhaoxing gritted his teeth, and Gongsun Wen looked calm: "Your Highness, you are violating your moral code by rushing into His Majesty, and you should be punished."
What is this bastard going to do?
He dared to kill the prince?
He dares!
As long as Emperor Zhaoxing gave him the courage, he would dare to do anything. Afterwards, as long as he smeared the prince as an associate of King Huai, he would be able to get away with it.
Xu Zhiqiong held down the lantern, and Liang Yuyao also held the hilt of the sword.
Gongsun Wen smiled ferociously and simply wanted to take all three of them away.
Xu Zhiqiong looked indifferent, but he was confident in his heart.
Gongsun Wen, you son of a bitch, you have gone too far with your arrogance. At this moment, here and now, do you think you can really touch the prince?
Haoran's righteousness roared towards him, and Gongsun Wen was about to attack the prince when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his bones, and his skill of coiling the python instantly increased his strength.
When did the prince gain such great ability?
It's not the prince, it's Liang Jixiong.
Liang Jixiong looked at Emperor Zhaoxing coldly and shouted: "Yuyang is right, he is the crown prince of Daxuan. Even though Gongsun Wen has made great contributions, the following offenses should be severely punished!"
Gongsun Wen is not afraid of Liang Jixiong. They are both in the third grade, so there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that there is Chen Shuncai by his side.
He used the innocent technique to try to break free from the control of the python technique, but suddenly he felt a giant python wrapped around his body.
Liang Gongping came over and said, "Any meritorious service must be rewarded, and a guilty one must be punished. Gongsun Wen, how will your Majesty reward you? I am too lazy to ask, but today you must kowtow to the prince, otherwise I will never spare you!"
The two forces were superimposed, and Gongsun Wen cried out in pain, twisted his knees, and knelt on the ground.
Chen Shuncai saw this and wanted to take action, but was stopped by Emperor Zhaoxing.
Emperor Zhaoxing, like Xu Zhiqiong, saw the situation very clearly.
Gongsun Wen was so arrogant that even Liang Gongping, who was best at making peace with others, was angered by him.
Gongsun Wen, who was kneeling on the ground, stopped struggling. It would do him no good to continue struggling.
At this point, I have to admire Gongsun Wen's magnanimity.
Finding that Chen Shuncai did not take action, Gongsun Wen immediately recognized the reality and said to the prince: "I have a bad temper and a moment of recklessness, and I collided with His Highness. I hope His Highness will forgive me."
Gongsun Wen kowtowed to the prince on the spot.
The coiled snake on his body was still not lifted, and Liang Jixiong was waiting for the prince's response.
The prince shook his head and said: "It's not enough, you have to kowtow to Xu Zhiqiong again!"
Gongsun Wen frowned and said: "I have offended His Highness, and I am guilty of the following offenses. I should kowtow to apologize. Why do I kowtow to Xu Zhiqiong?"
The prince said: "Because he is your master and you are his disciple. If you collide with him, it will be considered as a crime!"
Xu Zhiqiong moved his neck, stood in front of Gongsun Wen and said, "Kezhong, do you realize you are wrong?"
Gongsun Wen's eyebrows stood up, and Liang Jixiong smiled coldly: "Your Highness is right."
Gongsun Wen gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Xu Zhiqiong.
Liang Jixiong and Liang Gongping solved the python technique one after another.
Gongsun Wen stood up and patted the dust on his knees without changing his face.
Liang Gongping said to everyone: "Elder Shengwei and I are to blame for this misfortune on our sect. We should report the truth to the true God and wait for punishment. Elder Shengde died for the country, and your Majesty has to organize the funeral."
Emperor Zhaoxing nodded and remained silent.
Liang Gongping turned to Liang Jixiong and said, "Your Highness, do you still live in the East Palace?"
Liang Jixiong said: "Of course the prince must live in the East Palace. This is the ancestral rule. Where is Zhong Shen, the commander of the Imperial City Department?"
Zhong Shen was still writing poems in Longtuge. Emperor Zhaoxing issued an order not to allow him to come out even if the palace was turned upside down.
Emperor Zhaoxing could not trust him, but Zhong Shen was happy to be at ease.
If he doesn't come out, he won't come out. It doesn't matter whoever becomes an official.
Liang Jixiong told Zhong Shen: "You will move into the East Palace today to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xu Zhiqiong secretly smiled, it would be difficult to touch the prince now.
The Mohist family's ability to respond to emergency battles is average, but if Zhong Shen is allowed to defend the East Palace solidly, even if Gongsun Wen and Chen Shuncai join forces, they will not be able to break in.
Liang Jixiong added: "Yu Yao and Xu Zhiqiong have made meritorious service in protecting the crown prince and should be rewarded. Your Majesty will decide how to reward them. Liang Xiankang and other traitors will be punished by your Majesty. The rewards and punishments for the rest will also be dealt with by your Majesty!"
After saying that, the two elders left.
Returning to Canglong Hall, Liang Jixiong suddenly laughed.
Liang Gongping frowned and said: "Such a big thing happened in the clan, and Elder Shengde died. How can you still laugh?"
"Why can't you laugh!" Liang Jixiong smiled more and more heartily, "Who dares to say that the prince is mentally ill from now on? Whoever dares to say it, I will tear his mouth out!"
