Startled Meng

Chapter 157 Trapped Beast

Sun Yulin's body was tied with an unknown bloody matter, and the predecessors died because of it, and the descendants who knew about it also stepped on the tip of the knife. Yu Fang knew whether Xie Xuan would be involved, even though he knew that Xie Xuan's identity could help him. He is no less.

"The man ran away completely, Brother Xie, hurry up and go to sea to catch the document!" Yu Fangzhi said sadly, "Blame me, the man didn't watch the jail."

Xie Xuan patted Yu Fangzhi on the shoulder with a complicated expression, and persuaded him, "Even if I am, I was intimidated by Sun Yulin's begging for mercy. I can't guard against it!"

He thought of the assassin who sneakily came to kill Sun Yulin's mouth, and asked doubtfully, "What trouble did Sun Yulin cause?"

Yu Fangzhi said earnestly: "Zuo is nothing more than debt repayment, murder and life, what can Sun Yulin, a small imperial guard, know?" He continued to comfort Xie Xuan, "This matter is not worth your trouble, yes Yes, last time you said that General Xie was going back to Beijing..."

"Yes!" Xie Xuan was so happy that he immediately widened his eyes and smiled heartlessly, "My father and elder brother are finally going back to Beijing! We didn't catch up with the new year, and it's not bad to have an early summer!"

Xie Xuanle, Yu Fangzhi also followed the music, thinking in his heart, this Xie Xuan's temperament is as simple as when he was a child, and it is not the stupidity of ordinary noble children, but the innocence that has been protected, which is very rare.

Yu Fangzhi felt that Xie Xuan was simple, Xie Xuan did not disappoint him, he was really simple-minded, and reported the deserter Sun Yulin in a blink of an eye.

Yang Xun from the Ministry of Punishment personally brought someone to interrogate Xie Xuan, but he didn't think too much about it.

What he didn't know was that his bold act of reporting saved his life, and Wei Cheng dispelled his worries about him. He scolded the nonsense Black Eagle and secretly scolded Xie Xuan for being a fool. Don't forget to warn Yan Cijing not to make too much gossip.

Xie Xuan was the son of the Great General of Zhenguo who held a large army in his hands. Black Eagle took him as the blame, it was really desperate, not to mention that the Xie family had no reason to be involved in this dispute.

In addition, Yan Cijing had already guessed that Sun Yulin went out of the palace with Prince Yin and went to Meng's house, but he didn't know what Sun Yulin saw, but seeing how tight-lipped Wei Cheng and Heiying were, he already guessed three points.

Sitting in the conference hall in the palace, Yan Cijing looked at the table full of documents that would not be cleaned up in the future, and suddenly felt powerless. His every move was under Wei Cheng's nose, how could he tell the truth of the year?

The eunuch Xuanzhi had let go of his voice outside the hall and yelled, "Master Xuanyan enters the hall to see you—"

In the hall, Yu Xianzheng leaned on the dragon chair with a sad expression and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

The golden dragon embroidered on his chest is majestic and majestic, and Yu Xian is also in his prime, but at this moment, the arrogance of the Ninth Five-Year Lord is completely overwhelmed by the sea-like memorials on the table.

Gan Lin relieved the severe drought in Yandi, but the number of casualties and losses in the memorial was still shocking. Yu Xian was furious and yelled out all the court ladies and eunuchs as if venting his anger.

The hall was empty, his anger was extinguished by the overwhelming sense of powerlessness, he couldn't face the tragic situation in Yandi, so he asked someone to call Yan Zhifu, and wanted to listen to Prince Yin's case instead.

Speaking of Prince Yin, Yu Xian almost forgot the appearance and figure of his elder brother, but Yu Xian would never forget the glory that once covered him.

The crown prince made the decision early on. At that time, he was still young, and he was deeply influenced by his mother's side. He also knew that the throne was rare, and he also felt unwilling, but when he saw the crown prince, those unwillingness disappeared. He knew in his heart that he was It can't compare to the prince's.

So what if the queen dies early?He won people's hearts with his achievements, Bi Zhixing taught him power tactics, Xie Miao praised him very much, Meng Xiao had never joined him as a censor, and he had many followers, Xia Changying and Zhong Li were the most intelligent, and the crown prince Yu Heng He is the well-deserved pride of heaven.

Yu Xian had seen his mother's concubine's angry appearance of hating iron for being weak, but he would not change it after repeated admonitions. Sooner or later, the world would belong to the prince, so why did he fight so hard?I still follow my heart and go out of the palace to have fun!

But then the crown prince died, and the emperor would also be gone. After picking and choosing, the succession edict fell on Yu Bai, who was weak and weak!He didn't care whether he won because of his health, in short, he became the emperor!

When he ascended the throne, he was assisted by Wei Cheng. He didn't like to be judged. After these years, he finally took power in his hands. There were fraud in the imperial examination, Jiangling epidemic, severe drought in Yandi, and the theft of the underground palace. Misfortunes came one after another.

Yu Xian pressed the memorial on the table hard, wondering in bewilderment, if Yu Heng hadn't died, would he have done better than him?

"emperor."

Yu Xian stared blankly at Yan Cijing, who was kneeling and saluting, and smiled subconsciously. He has, and he also has the talents of a pillar.

But Yan Cijing disappointed him, and asked him to investigate the case, but only found a runaway imperial army.

"Where is Master Yang?" Yu Xian counted on a more experienced veteran.

"Master Yang personally went to track down the missing Imperial Army from the Guard Division."

"Oh?" Yu Xian heard something wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with that forbidden army?"

"Before Prince Yin passed away, the Imperial Army followed Prince Yin to the Meng family."

Yan Cijing peeked at Yu Xian's face, and saw that he was in a trance, silent, holding the dragon embossed on the armrest of the chair motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Back off." Yu Xian closed his eyes wearily.

Yan Cijing walked very slowly, he was waiting, the hint he gave the emperor was too obvious, he didn't believe it, the emperor didn't respond at all.

All the eunuchs in the palace were sent away, Yan Cijing could only open the door by himself, and with a creak, the face that appeared outside the door made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Wei Xiang!"

Wei Cheng's black and purple long face was hard and cold, mocking and disdain poured out of his eyes sweeping over Yan Cijing, as if he was watching a child playing tricks, he sneered, shook his raised right arm, and turned a blind eye Pass the mirror of strict words and enter the inner hall.

After the piercing wind blown by Wei Cheng, Yan Cijing realized that his palms were sweating.

He closed the palace door anxiously, wondering if Wei Cheng had heard what he said, he didn't pay attention to the black eagle behind him, and before turning around, he was pinned to the ground with his mouth and nose covered.

Yan Cijing struggled and bit that hand. Hearing a muffled grunt from the person behind him, he twisted his body and broke free. Then, he was grabbed by another person's hair and pressed against his neck. With the cold blade, he dared not struggle anymore, and knelt on the ground stiffly.

It was only at this time that he realized that the hall had been cleared, except for him, only the emperor and Wei Cheng were left in the inner hall.

Wei Cheng did it on purpose!

"emperor."

There was a sound in the hall, and Yan Cijing had to listen intently, Wei Cheng gave him a blow.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Xian vaguely remembered that it was not only the prime minister who was above one person and under ten thousand people, but also his uncle.

Wei Cheng's slender eyes were full of long-lost love, and he obviously remembered that the Ninth Five-Year Lord was his nephew, and he said: "I come to persuade the emperor to be at ease."

"Relax?" Yu Xian sneered, "Is the prime minister referring to the severe drought in Yan, or the theft of the mausoleum, or... the injustice of the ancestors?"

Wei Chengdao: "The emperor is the son of heaven, who would dare to disobey the imperial decree?"

Yu Xian said chillingly, "What do you mean?"

Wei Cheng stopped talking, and shrank his arms like other courtiers. This made Yu Xian suddenly feel disgusted and resisted. He has always been like this. Since he took the throne, he has been so superficially respectful, but in fact he said the same thing. , forcing myself to back down.

But this Great Yin belongs to Yu Xian!

"I ask you!"

Yu Xian patted the desk and went weak again: "The death of Prince Yin was not done by you, right?"

Wei Cheng didn't answer.

Yu Xian slid down from the dragon chair, slumped down the stairs, slid up to Wei Cheng, and said in a low voice, "You didn't poison Prince Yin to death, did you?"

Wei Cheng kept silent.

"Really?" Yu Xian grabbed Wei Cheng's shoulder and shook it twice, "Speak up! Why are you doing this!"

"say!"

"Your Majesty, why bother!" The Empress Dowager rushed in from outside the palace alone, and knelt down in front of Yu Xian.Wei Cheng sent someone to deliver a message to her before entering the palace.

It's a foregone conclusion, she doesn't want to see their uncles and nephews at odds, she shook Yu Xian's arm and said, "He is the uncle who has worked so hard for you! Why are you doing this?"

Yu Xian retorted sharply: "I didn't ask you to poison the prince! I didn't ask you to take the throne!"

The Queen Mother looked at Yu Xian in shock: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

When he succeeded to the throne, he was controlled by others, and he was like a puppet. After taking power, he rose again and again. It was all caused by his uncle!Since Yu Xian had already spoken out, he was merciless.

"It's you! It's you who pushed me onto this high platform! It's you who forced me to be emperor! It's you! You are arrogant and domineering, and you dominate the whole court. They collude with each other to deceive the audition, and you want me to replace you. Pick up the pieces!"

"Do you know how people say that I am incompetent!"

The queen mother knelt down and cried loudly: "My son! Do you know what you are talking about!"

The empress dowager's cry was sharp. At this moment, Yu Xian looked blankly at the woman in fine clothes on the ground, and fell in front of her with a sore nose, and whispered: "Mother queen? You lied to me! You say, you say father The emperor praised me for being courteous and humble, the talent of an emperor, you said that my talent and appearance are not inferior to the crown prince, and my father is willing to pass on the throne to me, no, no, it's you!"

Yu Xian pointed at the queen mother, then pointed at Wei Cheng, kicked his legs back two steps, and shouted: "It's you! You colluded! It was you who killed the prince! It wasn't me! I didn't know! I didn't harm the prince. I am the emperor. Not what I want! I don’t want the dragon seal, I don’t want to wear it, I don’t want it, I don’t want it!”

Yu Xian pushed aside the dragon robe on his body, and the Queen Mother rushed over to stop him, but Yu Xian waved him away, and watched him take off the black gold dragon robe, sitting on the steps panting indistinctly.

The queen mother was so angry that she cursed: "It's all for you! Emperor! We are all for you! Prince Yin is destined to suffer such a catastrophe, so we can't blame us!" She pulled Wei Cheng's clothes and persuaded: "Hurry up, go and persuade the emperor—"

Wei Cheng dragged back the corner of his clothes and patted it flat, ignoring the cries and gasps in the hall, and earnestly folded his wide sleeves in two. His face was full of sadness, and piety gradually filled his bruised face. He cautiously Smoothed out the crumpled dragon robe, folded it up, raised both hands, and knelt down in front of Yu Xian.

He said: "In any case, this Great Yin Jiangshan belongs to you in the end."

Outside the hall, Yan Cijing, who was dragged to hide behind the vase, heard clearly what was said in the hall. He knew that the emperor would still wear a dragon robe in the end, and he also knew that he was completely hopeless.

He was already in a state of defeat, but Wei Cheng wanted to "step on him". Before leaving, he smiled at Yan Cijing in a refreshed manner.

"Master Yan, are you ready?"

Yan Cijing was pinned to the ground, shaped like a trapped animal, the unceasing hatred in his heart overwhelmed his sorrow, he said in a deep voice, "Wei Xiang, go slowly."
