Uncrowned Evil Emperor

"Report, the government office in Huzhou was captured by the rebels, and the head of the mansion, Hu Buyi, was decapitated..."

"Report, Xiangnan Hou rebelled, the army directly captured Yunzhou City, and the general of Yunzhou City, Wang Renshou, lost his body for the country..."

"Report, the Jingzhou Dao family launched a coup, abolished the governor He Ze in the main city of Jingzhou City, and the general guarding the city Zhao Chengyi, privately detained 17 court officials and beheaded six of them,"

"Report, there are more than a thousand unidentified rebels found in Erling of Qinzhou, Qinzhou is in a hurry..."

"Report~"

Overnight, letters sent by flying pigeons and urgent letters from all over the country piled up like snowflakes on the Longshu treasure case in the Yanghe Hall. One piece of shocking news almost threatened to raise the golden and emerald glory of the Yanghe Hall. The roof of the temple was lifted off.

These letters were so abrupt that even Zhou Renguang, who has always been dedicated to government affairs and strategizing the world's major events, did not expect it. When the letters piled up on the dragon case, Zhou Renguang's face turned ashen, and his heart turned green. The lungs feel as if they are about to explode...

"Asshole, asshole, simply asshole, how dare this group of rebellious officials and thieves dare to rebel?"

The memorials that Zhou Renguang slapped with his palm flew up one after another and fell to the ground, and he said loudly, "Come on, pass me the soul of Mu Zhong..."

Before the words fell, there was another communication from outside...

"Report, Zhen Guohou Mu Hongtu, Zhenyuan General Mu Zhonghun, and Major General Mu Qianjun are asking to see you..."

"Report, Zhang Changling, a scholar of the Imperial College, is asking to see..."

"Report, the Seventh Prince is asking to see..."

"Report, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Sima Anguo, please see me..."

Zhou Renguang's face on the dragon chair tightened, and he looked around the hall quickly. Xu Liefeng, Xu Ziyang, Mu Wenxin, Tie Xiyang, Sui Kongren and others frowned at the same time. Sir, I will take my leave first."

After Mu Wenxin finished speaking, she was about to take people away, but unexpectedly, the gate of the Hall of Yanghe was blocked by a majestic figure, and just as a big foot with a size of tens of yards stepped into the gate of the Hall of Yanghe, Mu Hongtu heard the news. A voice like Hong Zhong: "Since everyone is here, why not speak clearly before leaving..."

Although Mu Hongtu was old, his cultivation was not good enough, he was full of energy in the mid-level Tianwu cultivation, the shaking hall was like the ringing of bells, and those martial artists with low cultivation felt a dull pain in their ears.

Afterwards, the Seventh Prince, Zhang Changling, Sima Anguo, and nearly ten elders of the current dynasty entered the hall, and Zhou Renguang's eyebrows frowned...

"Seventh brother, you're here too." Zhou Renguang's pupils shrank.

All the elders stepped forward to salute, but only the Seventh Prince and Mu Hongtu just bowed and did not kneel down.

Mu Hongtu was once enshrined by the emperor as the marquis of the state, but the face of the saint would not kneel...

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang is here for the rebellion." He glanced at the mountain of notebooks on Zhou Renguang's desk, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Brother Huang already knows."

Zhou Renguang's face was ashen, and he said angrily: "Boldly Xiang Nanhou and Dao Zhong are actually rebelling. General Mu, you came just in time. I ordered the army to quell the rebellion quickly. There must be no mistake."

Mu Zhonghun didn't move, but stood still under His Highness pretending not to see clearly, while Mu Hongtu stood up and shouted: "Slow down."

"Your Majesty, there is no rush to quell the rebellion, it is important to find out the reason..."

"Find out the reason?" Zhou Renguang raised his eyebrows: "Why should we find out the reason? Shangguan Lingyun rebelled first, and the Green Forest League rebelled later. Xiang Nanhou and Dao Zhong are helping brothers, so there is no need to investigate anymore..."

"Brother Wang..."

Before Zhou Renguang could finish speaking, the Seventh Prince interrupted him with his face sinking like water, making everyone in Tianjian Mountain and Xu Liefeng startled at the same time...

Mu Hongtu snorted coldly and said, "The old minister dares to ask the emperor, who testified against Shangguan Lingyun's rebellion, and where is the evidence?"

Zhou Renguang was very angry just now, he didn't think about the reason why so many court and central elders went to the hall together, he was taken aback when he heard Mu Hongtu's questioning, and he thought of himself: it seems that they don't want to come here for rebellion, Instead, it's like coming to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, what the hell are you doing?

Originally, the matter of Feng Jueyu, Xiang Nanhou, and Dao Zhong made him angry, but now that Mu Hongtu was blocked in the Yanghe Hall for questioning, Zhou Renguang suddenly felt ashamed, and slammed the table and said: " Mu Hongtu, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I framed Shangguan Lingyun?"

"Don't dare." Mu Hongtu clasped his fists suddenly, saying dare not, but his expression didn't mean "dare not", instead he said: "Your Majesty, now there are rumors that the Emperor is incompetent and framed the virtuous, making corrupt officials rampant in Tiannan , The common people suffer, if it is evil thieves raising troops to cause rebellion, why use such a banner to plot rebellion, don't the emperor think it suspicious?"

Zhou Renguang stared: "They saw that I was going to kill Shangguan Lingyun, a traitor, and they deliberately made excuses. What's suspicious about that?"

"Your Majesty." Zhang Changling stood up and said righteously: "Your Majesty does not know something. Rebellions broke out across the country that night. No fewer than 30 court officials were implicated and died, and all of them had hard evidence of corruption. Preliminary verification, every sentence is conclusive, at least, it is correct to say that corrupt officials are rampant and the people suffer."

Without giving Zhou Renguang a chance to argue, Mu Hongtu stepped forward and said, "Also, there is no conclusive evidence for Shangguan Lingyun's rebellion, but I have heard that some people coveted Shangguan's treasures and intentionally framed them, I wonder if the emperor has heard of it? "

While speaking, Mu Hongtu deliberately looked at the people in Tianjian Mountain beside him, and as expected, the faces of Tie Xiyang, Hong Youting, Ren Lie, Liu Rongxiao and others changed...

Zhou Renguang paused, and continued to pat the table and said: "It's just a rumor, how can you believe it..."

"emperor."

Zhou Renguang was interrupted countless times this morning. Every time it was Mu Hongtu and Zhang Changling. Zhou Renguang gritted his teeth and stood up. Do you want to rebel with Dao Zhong?"

Mu Hongtu bent down and said without fear: "I dare not..."

Then he said: "This minister is not just hearsay, there is actually evidence to prove that Shangguan Lingyun was killed by villains..."

"evidence?"

This sentence stunned everyone, especially Xu Liefeng and Xu Ziyang, who were even more depressed. It is said that no one knew the outline of this matter except the two of them and Tianjian Mountain, and there was no evidence left behind?How could Mu Hongtu have evidence?

The people in Tianjian Mountain were also at a loss. This matter involved a family dispute. In order to prevent other powerful families from knowing the news about Hongtu, they charged Shangguan Ling Yunan with treason. I didn't even mention it. If there is evidence, wouldn't it be leaked?

Just when everyone was in a daze, Zhang Changling reached into his bosom and took out a booklet, and asked the little eunuch to present it.

Before Zhou Renguang opened it, Zhang Changling said in a loud voice: "This booklet contains the confessions of Xu Zixiong and Xu Qinger from the Xu family, clearly pointing out that Tianjianshan suspected Shangguan Lingyun for a certain treasure, so they colluded with each other. The Xu family, the Gold and Silver Society, and even the emperor framed Zhongliang, and the old officials dare to ask the Holy Majesty, is there anything wrong?"

"Wow..."

After Mu Hongtu's words came out, everyone in the audience changed their expressions.

Just as Zhou Renguang guessed, for Shangguan Lingyun, Mu Hongtu was not afraid of Tianjian Mountain, so he came to the imperial palace at this moment...

As for the note, it was written by Feng Jueyu himself, and it was delivered to Zhang Changling's residence on the night of the incident. He was afraid that Zhou Renguang would deny it, so he came up with a temporary solution. The coming Gongyang was not afraid that Zhou Renguang would not admit his crime because the person who came would testify against Xu Zixiong. As for what would happen in the future, Feng Jueyu hadn't thought about it.

But he knew that to overthrow a country's regime, it would be impossible to rely on tens of thousands of people to fight guerrillas everywhere.If you want to rebel, you must have a clear and reasonable reason. You must find some righteous people in the court, and then go both ways to create pressure from public opinion on the court and the outside. Only then will it be possible for Zhou Renguang to fight back force.

And this letter is useless to anyone, only Zhang Changling dared to risk his life to speak out, and combined with the influence of rebels from all over the country on the people, at least it can greatly reduce Zhou Renguang's image as a wise and wise monarch. Let the balance of victory tip over in your favor.

Although Feng Jueyu has never experienced scheming and mental tricks, his mind is no worse than others. Only by being comprehensive in everything can success be possible...

Facing the accusation in the booklet, Zhang Changling pressed on step by step: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, Xu Zixiong is on his way back to Tiannan at this moment. When he returns to the imperial capital, everything will be clear."

Xu Liefeng and Xu Ziyang felt remorseful when they heard the words, and knew it without asking. It seemed that there must be something wrong with Wuyun Mountain, but they were just about to refute, but they were dumbfounded when they heard that Zhang Changling was confident that he would wait for Xu Zixiong to come back to confront him.

Xu Ziyang rolled his eyes, thinking that the end of the road may not mean that there is no hope, he immediately stood up and said: "Master Zhang, Old General Mu, your testimonials involve a lot, so my Xu family can forget about it, can it be that even Tianjianshan is not a person?" Do you want to follow Mobai's grievances?"

Hearing the words, Xu Liefeng comforted himself secretly. This statement not only avoided the sharpness for the time being, but also brought Tianjianshan into it. In this way, with Tianjianshan's backing, even if they knew the truth, Zhou Renguang would not admit his mistake.

Heavenly Swordsman Mu Wenxin remained silent, but glanced at Xu Ziyang out of the corner of his eye, knowing something in his heart.

And Zhou Renguang was testified by Mu Hongtu and Zhang Changling, although he was very angry, but what was said in the scriptures was true, and because Xu Zixiong was about to return to the court, he was naturally not easy to get angry.

Only Tie Xiyang snorted and said in displeasure: "Master Zhang, Tianjian Mountain never interferes in worldly affairs. Does your testimony really have evidence? How does Tie know that someone deliberately framed Tianjian Mountain?"

Zhang Changling is a literati, and Tie Xiyang knew it was not good to force others, so he used sophistication.

Zhang Changling saw the seriousness and shock on the eyebrows of the few people, and was disappointed with Zhou Renguang, and said, "Hmph, let's just wait and see..."

Zhou Renguang took a few deep breaths, and was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from his mind, it was Mu Wenxin's voice: "Your Majesty, please appease the ministers, and put down the rebellion first."

Zhou Renguang understood it, and was not worried that anyone would hear it, because this was Mu Wenxin's unique secret skill, Linghai sound transmission.

So he said: "Okay, let's wait for Xu Zixiong to come back, but it is a fact that Xiang Nanhou and Dao Zhong rebelled. Although they are because of Shangguan Lingyun, I can't ignore them. Mu Zhonghun, I order you to gather troops and hurry up." Go to Jingzhou and Yunzhou to quell the rebellion..."

"The minister leads the decree." General Mu said a word from the beginning to the end, but when he left, there was a trace of hesitation on his expression...
