After hearing the Queen Mother's question, Lin Pu responded: "In the back garden of Prince Yun's residence..."
"What..." The Queen Mother was furious, her face turned pale, she looked at King Yun angrily, and shouted sternly: "How do you explain?"
Almost everyone was surprised that the prince died and his body appeared in Prince Yun's mansion. What happened? Didn't Prince Yun always try his best to support the prince?
The situation was so serious that cold sweat broke out on Ji Wuji's forehead. The prince was the crown prince of the Yan State. If the murder charge fell on him, even if he was a prince, he would inevitably die. Fortunately, he was also a man who had experienced strong winds and waves, and he quickly stabilized.
Emotionally, he shouted injustice, "My son and I have been wronged. Someone must have framed me and put the blame on me."
The prime minister next to him, Lang Haohan, said coldly: "The Queen Mother clearly knows that Prince Yun's mansion is heavily guarded and no one else can enter, so how can we blame it..."
This rhythm is clearly going to kill me. It’s too cruel! In anger, Ji Wuji pointed his finger at it and said angrily: "It’s you, old thief... You must have framed me. Queen Mother, you must
Make decisions for your sons and ministers."
"That's enough." After angrily reprimanding, the Queen Mother looked over with cold eyes, and her heart felt like needle pricks. In fact, as a person who has experienced it, she knew very well that the prince's corpse was bleeding from the seven orifices and was obviously poisoned.
How could he allow others to bury the prince's body in his mansion with his thoughts and even extraordinary means? There can only be one answer. This guy wanted to succeed himself, so he poisoned the prince and even led his troops into the city to seize power.
Sin should be punished.
It is nothing new for the emperor's family to have fratricide, but it would be hard to accept if it happened, especially when King Yan just passed away, and his only son, King Yun, killed the prince, which made the Queen Mother hate her so much that she couldn't help but say in her heart, "
Why are you so cruel? The prince obeys your words. After you succeed to the throne, is it not enough that you are in a position below one person and above ten thousand people? You have to commit a heinous crime and sit in that position."
However, the sinner in front of her was her own flesh and blood after all, and she really couldn't bear to kill him, which put the Queen Mother in a dilemma. She barely calmed down her emotions and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether someone blames you or not, the Crown Prince
Even if the corpse appears in your mansion, you will not be able to escape responsibility. Someone comes and takes Prince Yun and puts him in the prison of Qintian Prison. The Ai family wants to find out about this matter."
Ji Wuji was shocked and turned pale, and quickly cried out, "Mother, I have been wronged. The prince's death has nothing to do with me. You can't do this to me."
The Queen Mother ignored him at all and waved her hands. Two old eunuchs came forward and took out the heavy shackles from the ring. They didn't care about King Yun's identity and handcuffed him directly, which made Qian Biao and other officers and soldiers who followed the prince very worried.
Terrified, but could only watch helplessly.
A group of members of the Immortal Sword Sect could only stand by and watch. After all, those old eunuchs were extremely skilled. If they really fought, their entire army would be wiped out.
The Queen Mother's cold eyes fell on Qian Biao again, and she said in a cold voice: "General Qian Biao led his troops into the city privately and committed an unforgivable crime. He will be executed immediately!"
"Ah..." Qian Biao screamed. He didn't expect that the blame would fall on him. He couldn't help but despair and shouted hysterically: "Why should you kill me? The general also led his troops here on the order of King Yun. Now
You treat me as a scapegoat, and I don’t accept it.”
Feeling unwilling to do so, this guy felt that he could not sit still and wait for death. He suddenly urged the black wolf on his mount to rush out from behind, galloping on the street, preparing to escape. As a strong person in the soul-melting realm, he felt that only in this way could he see a glimmer of hope.
Maybe you can get out alive.
Unfortunately, his idea was too naive. He saw an old eunuch suddenly running out from the Protectorate Prison. As he waved his hand, a faint light like a silver thread flashed in the air, which was extremely strange.
Everyone's eyes were blurred when they heard screams, and then they saw Qian Biao's head being cut off abruptly, and his body falling to the ground with splatters of blood. Even the black wolf car did not escape the bad luck.
The thread turned into something like a pendant and penetrated into the Black Wolf Tianling Cap, killing him directly and falling to the ground.
It can be seen that the strength of this old eunuch with splayed eyebrows is second only to Lin Pu. He is at least in the late stage of virtualization. As he approaches concentration, he is Zhou Dongxiao, the second person in charge of the Guardian.
Qian Biao was beheaded during the great march, and the Queen Mother passed down the decree again, saying coldly: "Lang Haohan did things poorly and was unable to function after the death of King Yan, which resulted in blood splattering in the capital. He was removed from the position of prime minister and demoted to a commoner."
Lang Haohan could only sigh secretly, and said helplessly: "I know my sin, and I thank the Queen Mother for her forgiveness."
At this point, two powerful figures have encountered crises. This is not over yet. The Queen Mother said again: "Qiu Yu, the commander of the capital, secretly led his troops to Beijing. He cannot escape his blame. However, he played a role in assisting the imperial army in times of crisis. It is a meritorious service."
I am ordering you to follow Princess Yanshan's orders and maintain order in the capital without making any mistakes."
Qiu Yu's nervousness also eased, "I will obey the Queen Mother's will."
Ji Yurong felt relieved that his godson had finally escaped. Gong Shuyuan also let out a sigh of relief. He had come all the way to protect his adopted son, and now he finally achieved his goal.
The Queen Mother's eyes once again glanced at the faces of Gong Shuyuan and a group of members of the Immortal Sword Sect, and she said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect you experts from outside the world to come and join in. The glory and wealth are not suitable for everyone, so I will let you go this time.
But listen carefully, you are not allowed to come to the capital again or take any actions in the future, otherwise you will be killed without mercy, so please leave and practice in peace."
A group of strong men were quite surprised. They didn't expect the Queen Mother to let them go so easily. They all bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
In order to avoid suspicion and fear of having a bad influence on Qiu Yu, Gong Shuyuan did not look at his adopted son, but directly flew up and flew away as fast as lightning like a giant eagle.
Qiu Yu watched his adoptive father's back disappear, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There are always noble people accompanying him on his life journey, whether it's Master Caixia Fairy, Splitting God Beggar, or his adoptive father. Without their help, I'm afraid he would have lost his life.
He has long since fallen into a state of catastrophe.
The members of the Immortal Sword Sect have been damaged, and now they are flying away with the corpses of their fellow sects. Their faces are gloomy, and their moods can be imagined. They thought that they would get strong support for helping King Yun achieve his great cause, but they didn't.
Thinking about the result, it was unexpected. It was not just that the bamboo basket was in vain. It was really a loss for my wife and a loss of troops.
As for the Royal Guards, they were the team that the Queen Mother admired the most, so they naturally had to be rewarded. All officers and soldiers received awards, and those who died in battle received generous pensions.
Then there are the officers and soldiers under Qian Biao's command. They suffered heavy casualties before, but now there are less than 10,000 people left. Following the Queen Mother's decree, they were all dismissed from the military and demoted to coolies and assigned to work in various mines and other places, which made everyone feel very sad.
Annoyed but dare not object.
The war for power was finally over for the time being. At the request of the Empress Dowager, the Ministry of War urgently dispatched 30,000 nearby officers and soldiers to arrive in and around the capital. While guarding many coolies, they were also responsible for guarding them.
