The King of Nan'an who was "invited" out of prison was sallow, skinny, and mentally weak. He shivered when the cold wind blew.
Among all the vassal kings, King Nan'an is still relatively young, not even fifty this year. He stayed in the prison of Zongren Mansion for two full months, and the food he ate was so spicy that it was difficult to swallow. He also suffered from stomachaches one after another, one day at a time.
The sun is getting better. The King of Nan'an, who was originally fat and pampered, became so thin that he almost lost his appearance.
Finally got out of the clan mansion.
King Nan'an, who had not seen the sun for two months, greedily took a deep breath of fresh air. Even the dazzling sunlight felt particularly beautiful and pleasing to the eyes.
Zhou Quan, the commander of the emperor's personal soldiers, came in person. Hundreds of tall and strong forest guards held long swords at their waists and stared at King Nan'an with bright eyes.
Zhou Quan was quite polite: "King Nan'an, please get on the carriage."
King Nan'an was not even half arrogant and domineering at this time. He forced out a smile and responded, getting into the carriage with the help of his guards.
This carriage went first. After a cup of tea, the King of Jiangxia was also "invited" out.
King Jiangxia also lost a lot of weight, his face was loose and wrinkled, and wrinkles accumulated at the corners of his forehead. His eyes still shone with a fierce and cold light, and he opened his mouth to curse King An angrily.
The guards were furious when they heard this, and Prince An's personal soldiers were even more furious. They subconsciously clenched the handle of the long sword.
King An winked at the soldiers, signaling them to calm down and not to act rashly.
The King of Jiangxia is already a grasshopper after autumn and cannot jump for a few more days.
However, King Jiang Xia obviously did not have the consciousness to lower his head and took a sip at King An.
King An sneered: "The King of Jiangxia is strong and energetic! Let's go! Follow me into the palace!"
Why do you want to enter the palace suddenly?
What does Sheng Hong want to do?
King Jiang Xia's pupils suddenly shrank, but he refused to show his guilty conscience on his face, and sneered arrogantly: "Go and go! I am loyal to Da Qi and have never had the slightest intention of rebellion. What can the emperor do to me!
"
King An was too lazy to argue with a man who was about to die. With a wave of his hand, two guards came forward and "sent" King Jiangxia into the carriage.
Along the way, King Jiang Xia never stopped. He kept cursing and cursing.
King An ignored them all.
After entering the palace, King An led King Jiangxia to the side hall of Yiqing Hall to wait. This wait lasted half a day.
The King of Jiangxia was shocked and confused, pretending to be impatient and asked: "Didn't the Emperor want to summon me? Why do you keep me hanging in the side hall?"
No one knew about the fact that King Nan'an privately reported and testified against King Jiangxia. King Jiangxia, who was in prison, also knew nothing about it. However, King Jiangxia had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
King An looked at the surprised King Jiangxia and smiled coldly: "Brother Huang is dealing with important matters. When he is done, he will summon you to see you. Just wait patiently."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Wei's figure appeared in front of the two of them: "The emperor has a decree to invite the King of Jiangxia to enter the palace."
…
King Jiangxia's heart was beating restlessly, and he tried to keep calm on his face, and followed Eunuch Wei and King An into the main hall.
The young and handsome Emperor Sheng Hong sat on the dragon throne.
Prince Fenyang stood on the left side of the main hall with a gloomy face. There were more than a dozen clan princes and princes beside him, as well as several vassal princes who had been released from the clan mansion. Even King Chenliu, who had been unable to report his illness, was there.
Here too.
Standing on the right are Mr. Lu Ge, Mr. Li Ge, and others. All the important civil servants and military officers in the court are there.
A familiar figure knelt in front of the emperor.
When King Jiangxia saw this figure, there was a bang in his head, like thunder.
Kneeling in front of the Emperor was none other than King Nan'an, who was most closely associated with King Jiangxia.
The relationship between King Nan'an and King Jiangxia is different from others. They are direct cousins, and their biological mothers are direct sisters. In terms of blood relationship, they are much closer than other vassal kings.
Over the years, the King of Nan'an always looked up to the King of Jiangxia. When the King of Jiangxia rebelled, the first one to win over him was the King of Nan'an.
The other vassal kings didn't know what King Jiangxia had done, but King Nan'an knew it clearly. Only King Nan'an knew how to open the secret room in his study where his private seals and warrants were hidden.
Now that King Nan'an is kneeling here, what does it mean?
When King Nan'an heard the footsteps, he turned his head, with some guilt in his eyes, but more of happiness and relief: "Brother King Jiangxia, you secretly ordered 30,000 private soldiers to turn into civilians and sneak into Hejing City half a year ago.
The earth has become a special force for King Hejing. The Divine Guards suffered a huge defeat and suffered heavy casualties, and you cannot escape the involvement. I have already made it clear to the emperor."
"Your private seal and warrant are hidden in the secret room of the study. I also told you. The emperor has ordered people to go and collect all the evidence."
"You made a big mistake out of selfishness. You caused so many innocent soldiers to die, and you also tried to drag all our vassal kings with them, so that we also secretly sent troops to help the King of Hejing and the King of Yingchuan. It is really an unforgivable crime and you will die..."
Brother Wang, you can’t blame me for this.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
The imperial court has firmly gained the upper hand, and it is only a matter of time before the King of Hejing and King Yingchuan are defeated. You don't want your life, but unfortunately I am. Confessing and testifying is a great achievement. I can atone for my crime, and the Nan'an palace can be preserved.
The blood in King Jiang Xia's body rushed straight to his mind, and there was a roar in his ears.
He took a step forward, rushed forward, grabbed King Nan'an's hair with all his strength amidst the shocked and angry sounds of the crowd, and slammed King Nan'an to the ground: "I trust you so much, how dare you betray me. I'll kill you first today.
you!"
King Nan'an screamed miserably and hit his head heavily on the hard jade ground, blood quickly oozing out.
King Jiangxia suddenly grabbed the hair of King Nan'an and was about to hit him hard again when a huge force suddenly came from his left shoulder. King Jiangxia was caught off guard and was kicked several meters away. His head hit the wall and his face was covered with blood instantly.
In the blink of an eye, the person who kept screaming turned into the King of Jiangxia.
The emperor, who was filled with anger, got off the dragon throne and personally kicked the King of Jiangxia away.
Mr. Lu Ge and other civil servants were frightened. All the princes, princes, princes and vassals were also frightened.
Everyone knows that the emperor has extraordinary skills. However, in the few years since he has been on the throne, the emperor has never shown his skills in front of others. He has never been so angry!
"Secretly raising private soldiers to help King Hajing, and instigating the vassal kings to have rebellious intentions." Sheng Hongjun's face was like snow, and his words were like frost: "Every one of them is a capital crime!"
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself! Why do you have the face to anger King Nan'an? Because of your selfishness, the Divine Guards suffered heavy casualties. Even if I kill you hundreds of times, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
"The King of Nan'an testified and confessed. He made up for his faults and was exempted from responsibility."
"As for the King of Jiangxia, he intends to commit rebellion. The evidence of the crime is conclusive, so Ling Chi will be executed. The execution will be carried out today. Everyone in the Jiangxia Palace will be executed together."
