The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1223 Surrounded
At this moment, in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, Prince Gong and Prince Jing knelt before the coffin and burned paper.

Prince Jing glanced at the absent-minded Prince Gong, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and then immediately lowered, his face was once again full of grief.

Even if these people can't succeed today, he will have fewer opponents.

His favorite thing to do is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and there will be a good show to watch later.

"Brother! It's almost time, why didn't the second brother show up? Today is a good day for the second brother to officially proclaim himself emperor. Although the enthronement ceremony is postponed, we must pay attention to it!" Prince Jing looked at Prince Gong suspiciously. asked.

"I don't know, maybe we still need to make preparations. Let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony first!" Prince Gong's tone was flat, and he looked at Prince Jing with a little more inquisitive look.

Just when the two were about to step out of the side hall, many imperial guards came outside the hall, the leader of which was Li Chang'an, the commander of the imperial guards.

"Wait a minute!"

Prince Gong's eyes flickered, and his face suddenly sank.Prince Jing frowned, but said in his heart, here we come!
"You two lords, the empress sent you to Guangning Palace to discuss matters!" Li Changan saluted the two, and then blocked the entrance of the palace, refusing to give way.

"Commander Li, I wonder if the empress has something to tell us to go to Guangning Palace?" Prince Jing frowned, looking at Li Chang'an who had a tough style, his face was much darker than before.

"I don't know about this lowly position. I also invite the two princes to move. Don't call this lowly position difficult!"

Li Chang'an told the imperial guards behind him to move out of the way, and more than 50 people stared at Prince Gong and them, as if they were going to do something if they didn't go.

"Commander Li, what do you mean?" Prince Gong's expression darkened, his whole body was filled with momentum, and even Prince Jing beside him felt a sense of oppression.

Prince Jing's eyes darkened, Prince Gong really made people dare not underestimate him.

"Please, both of you!" Li Changan said disdainfully, only made a gesture, and then put his hand on the hilt of his waist.

This attitude is already very clear, if you don't go, I'm afraid it won't be good.

Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne, so the ministers are all waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.At this time, in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, apart from them and the servants, there were only a few monks left.

"Brother, since it is the empress's order, we will naturally go." Prince Jing glanced at Prince Gong with a stern expression, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes.

"Alright!" Prince Gong nodded in response, and walked ahead.

Prince Gong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, but he was more calm than he imagined.

"The two lords go one step first, and I have to invite Master Wu Wu to go!" Li Changan's lips curled up slightly, and his jaw was raised high, a little arrogant.

After calling more than [-] people to surround the two of them, he stepped into the side hall.

This move is really disrespectful to the two distinguished princes.No matter how calm Prince Jing was, his face darkened, but he still didn't say anything.

He snorted coldly in his heart, this person is rampant.They are princes, this Li Chang'an is just the commander of the imperial guards, yet he dares to show them face.

Prince Jing felt unhappy, so he couldn't help walking faster.However, Li Chang'an's attitude was a bit intriguing, which indirectly showed that there must be no good things to come.

King Gong heard that Li Changan wanted to ask for enlightenment, so he knew what the queen wanted to do.With a plan in mind, he quickened his pace instead.

"My ministers see the empress!"

The queen watched the two of them step into the Guangning Palace, and when they bowed and saluted, she ordered someone to tie them up immediately.

"What is this for? Dare I ask the Empress what is the meaning of this?" Prince Gong felt the veins throbbing on his forehead. He looked at the few courtiers standing beside him, his face was full of shock.

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the two of them like wolves and tigers.

"You two don't need to panic, I have no intention of hurting you. The prince disappeared in the side hall of Chengqian Palace today for no reason, and he has not been found yet. I will ask you, do you know the whereabouts of the prince?"

Prince Jing was taken aback, "The son and elder brother have been guarding the spirit of the father in Chengqian Palace. The servants and maids present can testify. They never left half a step in the middle, how do they know the whereabouts of the second elder brother?"

"Furthermore, this is in the palace. Why did the second brother disappear in the palace? Maybe he went to another place. I don't know if you have searched carefully?"

Prince Jing and Prince Gong endured the body search of the servants, their hearts filled with anger.

"It's up to you to say, the palace is almost turned upside down, but there is no one. Boss, I want to ask you, do you know where the prince is?"

The queen passed Prince Jing who was pale with fright, and fixed her eyes on Prince Gong who was gloomy but silent.

"The empress's words are interesting. The fourth brother also said just now that the son and the fourth brother have been in Chengqian Palace and have never left. Even if the empress wants to doubt, she can't doubt us. And several masters are also here. We have a lot of testimonials for the recitation of the scriptures there, so don’t put this shit on our heads.”

Prince Gong snorted coldly, and turned his head away from looking at the queen after he finished speaking.

The queen suddenly smiled, "Boss, don't be stubborn, your mother and concubine have missed you very much these two years!"

"Come on, the thief who hijacked the crown prince may be hiding in Concubine Jing's Jinghua Palace, but don't let that thief hurt Concubine Jing, go search again!"

The queen sneered, everyone is in her hands, how dare you be so arrogant?

Today, the hall is full of officials from the prince's lineage, and even the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony are already under her control.If these two people don't speak, she has plenty of ways to make them speak.

"Why is the empress so aggressive? This matter was not done by my son and the fourth child. How can we hand it over to others?"

When King Gong saw that the queen threatened him with her concubine, he couldn't help being furious.This femme fatale is really hateful!
"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't tell me, I will let you taste the punishment of Dali Temple."

Time has dragged on for too long, and the queen is a little confused, so naturally she won't maintain the hypocrisy on her face.

"Is the empress planning to torture you into a trick? But the second brother is not in our hands, even if we are beaten to death, we will not be able to hand over anyone."

Prince Jing was also a little annoyed at the moment, he wanted to imprison them in the Dali Temple without evidence and even wanted to torture them into a trick, it was simply absurd.

Even when the father wanted to eradicate his own brother, he had to be famous as a teacher!This empress acted so unscrupulously, it was the most poisonous woman's heart.

Prince Jing glanced at Prince Gong, only to see that Prince Gong's face was full of indignation, but he did not move for a long time.He couldn't help being very puzzled in his heart, could he be wrong?
"Amitabha!"

When Prince Gong and the others heard the Buddha's words, they turned their heads quickly.Wu Wu walked ahead calmly, his steps were slow, without a hint of nervousness.

Li Changan walked behind, followed by a huge army of imperial guards.

"Why is third brother here?" Prince Jing's tone was full of doubts, and then he turned to look at the queen.

"Third brother is a monk now, but he has long been in the world. What does this have to do with third brother?" Prince Jing's face was full of disapproval, and his tone was even more disdainful.

"Hmph! I won't play tricks with you, Commander Li, imprison these three people in Dali Temple first!" If it weren't for the lack of torture tools here, the empress would have whipped these three people on the spot.

A dead duck has a hard mouth, and will only speak when it suffers.

"Yes!"

After Li Changan finished speaking, he suddenly sneered and drew out his long sword.

He said to the imperial guards behind him: "Surround everyone here, and not let anyone out!"
