Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 845 Cheng Guogong vs Jin Yiwei

Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

With Ren Li imprisoned, the huge Marquis Mansion, which was full of guests, quickly fell into the cold, and even countless officials, big and small, who were originally attached to Ren Li, hid from this Marquis Mansion like a plague god, for fear of being implicated in something. .

Like Cheng Guogong's mansion, since Ren Li was imprisoned, Ren Shou, the eldest son of the Ren mansion, has become the backbone of the whole mansion.

However, the difference is that compared with Zhu Yi, Ren Shou and Zhu Yi are far inferior in terms of literary talent and martial arts. There is such a father as Ren Li who has outstanding military achievements in the army, but he forcibly did not even get an official position. At the age of 40, he was still being called a young master one by one.

So much so that in such a large marquis' mansion, once Ren Li was imprisoned, he couldn't even enter the major yamen, let alone have any connections.

After Zhu Yong's accident, Zhu Yi relied on his old friendship accumulated over the years, at least he could find a few honorable families willing to help. A mansion that is very close to home, but in exchange, it is closed one after another.

So much so that in the end, Ren Shou was disheartened and could only stay in the mansion, silently waiting for the final result of the matter.

The sun is rising, and the golden sunlight shines on the earth. The heat is gradually rising, making people feel very hot. In front of the Hou Mansion, which has been silent for a long time, there is a sound of heavy and orderly footsteps. Guards in brocade clothes with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists came from the east and west sides, and soon surrounded the entire Hou Mansion.

"Under the imperial decree, the Ningyuan Hou Mansion accepts the decree!"

The leader is wearing a flying fish robe, with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, and holding an imperial decree on a jade scroll and yellow silk in his hand.

Several Jin Yiwei stepped forward and knocked on the door roughly, and several servants hurriedly opened the door. Seeing the formidable look outside, they turned around and went in to report.

Not long after, a fat middle-aged man rushed out of the mansion with a few people sweating profusely. When he saw the imperial decree in Bi Wang's hand, his face turned pale at first, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said.

"grown ups……"

Bi Wang didn't answer, and repeated with a cold face.

"Under the imperial decree, Young Master Ren, lead the whole family to receive the decree!"

This businesslike appearance completely made Ren Shou lose hope.

Standing there with a gloomy face, Ren Shou waved his hand feebly, and let the servants go in to call for them, but he himself was speechless.

Not long after, a group of people from all over Ren's house, including Ren Li's 86-year-old mother, were taken outside the door.

Since it was an imperial decree to convict, naturally there was no need to troublesomely set up an incense table. When everyone was present, Bi Wang held up the imperial decree, and all the people present knelt down silently and said.

"Welcome to the imperial decree."

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, ruled: Ningyuan Marquis Renli, killed the tribute envoy without permission, invaded the land for private favors, murdered important officials of the court, criminals deceived the emperor, cut off the title, recovered the world certificate, beheaded tomorrow for public display, confiscated family property, closed the family , except those who are over [-] years old will be forgiven, and their descendants will be allowed to stay in Beijing to serve, all of them will be exiled to Tieling to guard the border, respect this!"

Bi Wang unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, his voice was loud and without any emotion.

Although he had heard the news in advance, when the imperial decree was delivered to him, Ren Shou's hands still couldn't help shaking, resisting the urge to faint, and took the imperial decree tremblingly, said.

"Caomin, on behalf of Ningyuanhoufu, accept the order...thank you!"

This imperial decree of condemnation is to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for preservation, so naturally it will not be reserved for these "sinners".

That's right, from this moment on, the group of people kneeling in front of them are no longer the children of aristocratic families, or honored ministers of the country, but a group of people who have committed crimes.

After reading the imperial decree, Bi Wang put away the imperial decree as usual, finally with a smile on his face, said.

"Young Master Ren, I have the Holy Order, so please forgive me for being rude."

"According to the imperial decree, please be the eldest master, and hand over the world certificate of Ningyuanhoufu to this official!"

Before Ren Shou came out, he knew the result would be like this, so he naturally prepared the World Voucher early. Hearing this, he trembled, but he turned around and took the World Voucher from his son Ren Hong's hand. coupon, and then raised it high above his head.

Seeing this situation, Bi Wang bowed slightly, took the World Voucher carefully, and respectfully put it in the brocade box that had been prepared earlier.

Immediately, Bi Wang's expression turned serious, and he said coldly.

"Come here, remove the plaque from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, and imprison all the people! Search the house!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei is a good hand at house raids, he has all the tools prepared, and he is naturally familiar with the process.

All the plaques in front of the doors of relatives, even if they are just earls or consorts, are all gifts from the emperor, representing the grace of the emperor, and should not be desecrated.

Therefore, even if the imperial decree has been issued, as long as the plaque is not removed, Jin Yiwei cannot break into the Hou's mansion, but can only surround it.

The order of withdrawing the world certificate, removing the plaque, shutting down people, and ransacking the house cannot be messed up.

Following Bi Wang's order, several Jinyiwei small schools skillfully set up tall ladders on the left and right, and quickly climbed up.

At the same time, a group of guards in Jinyi took the shackles and ropes, and approached the people in Ren's mansion with a murderous look, and tied up everyone present.

Ren Shou turned his head and stared helplessly at the plaque of "Imperial Grant to the Marquis of Ningyuan", which was taken off, a look of despair flashed across his face.

However, just when he closed his eyes and was about to tie his hands, he heard a chaotic voice behind him.

He looked back, and immediately saw the situation that made his heart shatter.

Several Jinyiwei small schools, holding shackles weighing tens of kilograms, are putting on his 86-year-old grandmother and [-]-year-old mother.

His son Ren Hong, who had just been crowned, was trying his best to stand in front of him, but he was kicked away by two strong schoolboys, and he slammed into the stone lion in front of the door, only to hear a muffled groan. With a sound, bright red blood flowed from Ren Hong's mouth, and then two Jinyiwei juniors stepped forward to hold him firmly, took out a pair of shackles, and tied him up.

"Presumptuous, what are you doing?"

Regardless of other things, Ren Shou didn't know where the strength came from, broke away from the Jin Yiwei beside him, flew to the old lady of the Ren family to block it, stared at Bi Wang in front of him, and said.

"Your Majesty, your majesty's decree clearly states that people in Ningyuan Hou's mansion who are over sixty years old will be forgiven. Four out of eighty-year-old grandmothers, and three out of sixty-year-old mothers, are all included in the pardon. How dare you Disobeying the imperial decree?"

Bi Wang looked at the two Jinyiwei small schools, and carried away the plaque of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, ready to send it back to the palace for destruction, then turned to look at Ren Shou, with Jinyiwei's signature cold smile on his face, looking gentle like a cat play The mouse, but when it opened its mouth, it was cruel and cold.

"Young Master Ren, there is no Ningyuan Hou Mansion anymore, and now, each of you is a body of guilt!"

"Your Majesty's imperial decree did indeed say that people in your mansion who are over [-] years old can be forgiven, but it didn't say that you can continue to stay in this mansion. This time you are ordered to be imprisoned, as the eldest son, all the people in your mansion , is inevitable."

"Be obedient and wait for your hands to be restrained. These brothers under this officer can be more gentle!"

"Come on, arrest them all!"

Hearing these words, Ren Shou's face turned pale, and his mind was in a trance.

"No, no..."

Suddenly, Ren Shou seemed to remember something, jumping up and shouting like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

"Yesterday, Duke Cheng clearly sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he begged His Majesty to allow me to collect my father's bones so that he can be buried."

"Besides, Your Majesty has shown mercy to my grandmother and mother. How could you arrest me and put me in prison right now? With such heavy shackles, you clearly want my grandmother and mother's life!"

"You...you...you are acting obediently and violatingly, deceiving the king and committing crimes!"

Hearing this, Bi Wang's complexion suddenly darkened, and his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. Those who are familiar with him know that the commander of Jin Yiwei, the number one general under his command, got angry.

"Young Master Ren, you can't talk nonsense. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army. Could it be that he is not as good as you, a sinner, who knows more about the holy will?"

"I think you are talking nonsense, seeing no hope of saving yourself, come here, take it down for me!"

As soon as the words fell, several Jinyiwei small schools rushed up fiercely.

Seeing that the Jin Yiwei forcefully put the shackles on the old lady of the Ren family, Ren Shou struggled desperately, but it was of no avail. Ren Shou usually indulges in pleasure and dislikes martial arts, so it is even more impossible for him to hold it at this moment A well-trained Jinyiwei.

Even though he tried his best, he was still pressed firmly to the ground, and he could only watch all this happen...

Standing aside, Bi Wang was not in a hurry to have Ren Shou tied up, but instead watched with interest the desperate look of him being pushed to the ground and struggling desperately.

However, at this moment, a soft shout suddenly came from behind him.

"stop!"

With the sound of this sound, accompanied by the crisp sound of horn bells, a simple and large carriage wobbled to a stop not far away.

Bi Wang turned his head and saw the size of the team and the iconic carriage, he narrowed his eyes and his expression changed.

However, in contrast, Ren Shou, who was pushed to the ground, saw the carriage stop, and immediately struggled more violently as if he had seen hope.

With the help of his servants, Zhu Yi wore a unicorn suit and got out of the carriage. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the place where the plaque "Imperial Citation Ningyuanhou's Mansion" should have been hung was empty.

For a moment, his expression was quite complicated, and he sighed indistinctly, as if he had thought of something, but it was only a moment before he collected his thoughts, frowned and looked at the chaos in front of him, with Several followers came to meet Bi Wang and asked.

"Bi Tongzhi, what are you doing?"

"Meet Cheng Guogong!"

Although Jin Yiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, after all, he can be regarded as a military official, and he is inextricably linked with the nobles.

Although Bi Wang knew that Zhu Yi was asking the question knowingly, he still had no choice but to go forward. First he saluted respectfully, then he straightened up and spoke.

"My lord, under the orders of the sage, I will deprive Ningyuan Marquis of the title, take back the world certificate, and confiscate all the family property."

Hearing this, Zhu Yi didn't say anything, but passed Bi Wang and came to the gate of Ningyuan Hou's mansion. Ren Hong, who was kicked down and put on shackles and huddled beside the stone lion, and Ren Shou, who was pinned to the ground and struggling, And the old lady of the Ren family who was forced to put on shackles, said coldly.

"Bi Tongzhi, I don't know, since when did Jin Yiwei ransack the house and need to kill someone?"

The smile on Bi Wang's face froze, realizing that the visitor was not kind, so he restrained his smile and said.

"Your Majesty is joking. These people are all criminals. Your Majesty has a decree to let all the people in the house wait for them to be exiled to Tieling to guard the border. How dare the officials take their lives?"

"Then what's going on?"

With a sullen face, Zhu Yi pointed at the chaos in front of her eyes, her tone was cold and hard.

Bi Wang glanced at it, but his face didn't change, he just said lightly.

"Arrested by the criminals, brothers use some means, sometimes they are a little heavy handed, and there are some. Don't worry, the Duke, the brothers are accurate and can't kill anyone!"

"It's the Duke of the country. On the day of breaking the house, the scene is chaotic. If it bumps into you, it will be bad."

"Your status is honorable. If you have nothing important to do, it's better to leave as soon as possible."

These words were faintly threatening, and Zhu Yi couldn't help squinting her eyes, and looked at Bi Wang in disgust, as if she didn't want to say another word to him, she reached into her sleeve with her right hand, and also took out a yellow card. Silk, said.

"Holy Mother's decree, although Marquis Renli of Ningyuan committed unforgivable crimes, he thought of his meritorious service to the country and allowed his descendants to collect the bones, bury them in the ground, and then exile them to the border."

"His mother, Liu Shi, and his wife, Zhou Shi, are already very old. If there is no support, it is difficult to have a good death. This is not what the Holy Will wants. The two of them are specially allowed to take away the dowry and private property. They have a field and a house to support them in peace."

Spreading the Yizhi in her hand in front of Bi Wang, Zhu Yi continued.

"Bi Tongzhi, the Holy Mother's edict made it very clear that the descendants of Ren's mansion will collect the bones for Ren Li, and after they are buried, they will be exiled to the border. Before the funeral of Ren's mansion is completed, it may not be appropriate to confiscate the house. Since you have the plaque of Ningyuanhou's mansion It has already been picked, and the matter of ransacking the house and arresting people should be another day."

The Yi decree was not given to Jin Yiwei, strictly speaking, it was given to the Ren Mansion, so naturally it would not be handed over to Bi Wang.

He glanced at it from a distance, frowned, and seemed to hesitate, but in the end, he shook his head and said.

"My lord, don't make it difficult for me to dismiss you."

"Your Majesty's imperial decree clearly stated that Ren's family property was confiscated, and relatives were exiled. The subordinate officials are performing official duties, and they still look at the Duke. It's convenient!"

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Yi's face sank like water, and she opened her mouth to drink.

"Do you want to resist the decree?"

However, Bi Wang has been in Jinyiwei for so many years, and he has never seen any battle. These few words can't scare him.

Shaking his head slightly, Bi Wang said coldly.

"Jin Yiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he obeys His Majesty's imperial decree. Now, the subordinate officials have not received any new imperial decree, so naturally they can only act according to the imperial decree in hand."

"My lord, please get out of the way! Don't... interfere with official duties!"

After the last sentence fell, there was a trace of murder in the field, and the atmosphere became extremely tense...
