Summon Qunhao

Chapter 257 [The Longest Night (Nineteen)]

In Hanyu Palace.

King Ning's second question began.

"My second question, I want to ask, does His Highness the Crown Prince know a craftsman named Jin Wuyong?" Chen Xiaofeng paused, and then said, "Oh, Your Highness also knows me, my brother. I am used to idleness, ignorant and incompetent, what I like are all obscene and skillful skills, it is difficult to be elegant, I must first ask my father, Your Highness, and all adults to forgive me."

"I don't know this person, what's the matter?" Chen Yaizu asked again patiently, which was rare.

"That's right, this Jin Wuyong is knowledgeable and skilled. He is very good at making antique antiques. One-third of the fake antiques in the capital city are made by this person. It can be said that his forgery The craftsmanship has reached its peak." Chen Yaizu asked, and Chen Xiaofeng took advantage of the opportunity to introduce Jin Wuyong in detail.

"Oh? So what?" Chen Yazi continued with great interest.

"Chendi has always been fond of antiques, even fakes. After going back and forth, I became acquainted with this Jin Wuyong. One day, I brought good wine to him to play with. He said to me in a very strange tone, oh, today I met a fool who actually exchanged real things for my fake things, and he was amazed after he finished speaking." Chen Xiaofeng continued to tell the story very dutifully, "The younger brother said, what good thing is it? Jin Wuyong refused to take it out at first, saying that he wanted to keep it a secret for the guests, but he immediately showed it off after drinking the jar of drunken flower shade that his younger brother took that day. , Your Highness, do you know what it is?"

"What?" Chen Yazi even smiled.

"That's it." Chen Xiaofeng took out something from his bosom, and the thing was lying in the palm of his hand, exuding a scarlet texture in the moonlight and lights, it turned out to be a piece of high-quality blood jade.

"This is..." The old prime minister Yuan Bailu was startled first, as if he recognized something.

"This is a piece of dragon's blood jade. The most important thing is that there is a word on it." Chen Xiaofeng said, and suddenly raised the piece of dragon's blood jade from the center of his palm. On the piece of blood jade itself, a word engraved on that piece of precious jade was faintly printed.

It is an word.

"Ah..." Yuan Bailu leaned closer, and when he saw this word, he suddenly leaned back, as if he was completely frightened.

"This..." The old prime minister didn't dare to speak.

"If Xiao Wang remembers correctly, this piece of dragon's blood jade is exactly one of the jades bestowed to our brothers and sisters on the [-]th birthday of the father. Xiao Wang's one, with a flat character engraved on it." Chen Xiaofeng took out another piece as he spoke, and it was really similar to the one in his hand, except for the word engraved on it.

Among so many princes and princesses, there is one with the word "An" in their name...

Everyone stopped talking and just looked at His Royal Highness Chen Yazi vaguely.

"I'm lonely. I just lost it a few years ago. I was afraid that my father would blame me, so I kept silent, but I didn't know that I fell into the hands of this kind of person. It's really..." Chen Yaizu also generously admitted at this time.

"It's really dangerous." Chen Xiaofeng answered.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Chen Yaizu was puzzled.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, you know, what is the person who exchanges the real thing for the fake?"

"What?"

"A piece of tortoise shell."

"A piece of tortoise shell?"

"A piece of tortoise shell engraved with words of great treason."

"Where is the tortoise shell?"

"Coincidentally, that gold is useless. I have a habit. Every time I finish an object, I will make an identical one and keep it as it is. It just so happens that the tortoise shell is now on my body." Chen mocked. Feng said, and took out another thing from his arms.

After seeing the words on it clearly by the light of the lamp and the moon, the old prime minister Yuan Bailu uttered a third scream.

Not because of anything else, just because there is a sentence written on it: peace and ancient times can replace heaven.

But the style of the tortoise shell was exactly the same as the tortoise shell that was discovered in the outskirts of the capital that day and then presented to the Golden Luan Hall, and the handwriting was exactly the same, except for two extra characters.

"Fortunately, that piece of tortoise shell was missing two words for some reason, otherwise, Xiao Wang might die forever and never clear up the suspicion." Chen Xiaofeng sighed rejoicingly, looked at Chen Yazi, and said, " It's also fortunate that this dragon's blood gem was discovered by my younger brother, otherwise, if it is used by a traitor, my younger brother's reputation will be humiliated, and His Highness will be criticized for no reason, what a blessing."

"It's really a blessing. I think it's Gu Yue'an's trick again. This person is really vicious, and he will make you and my brother like a wall." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sighed.

A piece of fun.

However, the eyes of the ministers were different. Chen Xiaofeng asked two questions one after another, and told two stories, which sounded like nothing, or some false statements.

But what people in the world like to hear the most are non-existent and false statements, even the ministers like to hear them.

The combination of these two things means that it is already very unfavorable to Chen Yaizhu.

But Chen Yaizu was still laughing: "Then, does the third brother have a third question?"

"Yes, if His Royal Highness is tired of hearing it, then I will stop talking about it. It's indeed just hearsay, it's really..." Chen Xiaofeng smiled wryly, as if he had retreated.

"Hey, no matter what the third brother said, how can Gu be the kind of narrow-minded person?" Chen Yazi was still generous.

"Then, my third question, where was Your Highness on the night of the sixth day of August?" Chen Xiaofeng asked Chen Yazi's permission, and this question seemed a bit impolite.

"In the Zuixian Tower, drink wine and watch the moon." Chen Yaizu said without thinking, "That day Qin Mingyue killed the tower with a sword, and everyone in the Zuixian Tower saw me there."

"That's right, that night, Qin Mingyue slashed the building with a sword in the middle of Shu, and only then did the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City, so Gu Yue'an was present at the same time." Chen Xiaofeng paused, and then said, " Then, may I ask Your Highness, is there a reason for you to go to Zuixian Tower that night?"

"I just wanted to drink, so I went, but do I need any reason?" Chen Yazi asked with a smile, but the smile was a little cold.

"No one invited?" Chen Xiaofeng was still asking questions as if he hadn't realized it.

"No." Chen Yazi stopped smiling and just shook his head.

"Really?" Chen Xiaofeng pressed her every step of the way.

"Really not." Chen Yaizu had already pronounced his words firmly.

"Okay." Chen Xiaofeng nodded, and then suddenly said to Yuan Bailu, "Yuan Xiang, you once taught us calligraphy in the past, and you were full of praise for His Highness's calligraphy, saying that His Highness is self-contained. One faction, it is absolutely difficult for outsiders to imitate, right?"

"That's right, the old man once said that because His Royal Highness is highly skilled in martial arts, his writing is as sharp as a spear, and his sharpness is rare in the world, and no one can imitate it." Yuan Bailu nodded.

"Then...the Prime Minister, please take a look at this letter." Chen Xiaofeng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yuan Bailu. When Yuan Bailu was about to receive the letter, Chen Yazi's His body moved obviously, but when he found that Chen Xiaofeng suddenly turned his head to look at him, he stood there again, but his face became ugly.

The old prime minister was getting old, and after trembling for a long time, he took out the letter paper. After he read the content on it, he almost couldn't pinch the paper steadily, but finally he pinched it.

Then there is silence.

"What's written on it?" Chen Yazi couldn't help asking.

Yuan Bailu looked up at Chen Xiaofeng, and then looked at the emperor on the throne.

The emperor didn't care about him at all, and finally Chen Xiaofeng said: "Master Prime Minister, read it."

"...Your Highness, I have offended you." Yuan Bailu bowed to Chen Yaizhu, cleared his throat, and said, "Lan Yu, find a way to get your daughter to go to Beijing before August [-]th to trouble Cui Li."

Not signed.

But these words were enough to silence the entire Hanyu Palace.

The patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Ren Qin Lanyu, although he has no fame and is just a commoner, he is also the patriarch of the Qin family, the eight great families of martial arts in Sichuan. This person's name, as for his daughter, is even more famous, the bright moon in the middle of Sichuan, the dragon tower outside the pass, and the capital have been sung for many years.

Someone wrote a letter asking Qin Ren to send his daughter Qin Mingyue to the capital to recruit Cui Li.

This is the origin of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

In other words, this duel was planned from the very beginning.

Then what happened afterwards, everything, including tonight's assassination, must also be inseparable from the person who wrote the letter.

And the letter that is being spread out in Yuan Bailu's hand, the person who wrote it...

"Master Prime Minister, is it His Highness's note?" Chen Xiaofeng finally asked.

"...Not bad." After Yuan Bailu finished speaking, he kowtowed again.

"Father, son, I'm done." After asking the last question, Chen Xiaofeng turned around, saluted slowly to the emperor on the throne, and then stood with his hands down, as if he had just done an insignificant thing.

As for His Royal Highness Chen Yaizu, he was still standing there, wondering what he was thinking.

after a long time.

The emperor suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, and said, "Second brother, third child is finished, do you have anything to say?"

"...My son, I have nothing to say." Chen Yazi finally turned around and shook his head.

"Nothing to say?" The emperor nodded, "Second brother, you are finished. Now all the evidence shows that you planned everything, intending to assassinate me tonight, and put the blame on your third brother and Gu Yue Ann, and then take advantage of the chaos to ascend the throne, although you are the crown prince, as long as I live for a day, a moment, and a breath, you are just a prince, and the prince's rebellion is also a serious crime, you really have nothing to say?"

"...Father." Chen Yaizhu nodded, and then called again, "Father."

"Okay, very good, since that's the case, let's talk about everything." Chen Yaizhu suddenly seemed to relax all over his body, and then he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, the laughter shook the entire Hanyu Palace All shaking.

After a long time, he stopped laughing, turned his head to look at the third prince Chen Xiefeng, and a group of ministers headed by Yuan Bailu, and said: "You are all very good, especially you, third child, you really took great pains. Creating something out of nothing, fabricating so many criminal evidences, wanting to die alone, and Yuan Bailu, Prime Minister Yuan, you, and you..."

He pointed to all the ministers.

"Do you think that with these things, just with a few broken mouths and a few pieces of paper from you people who play with pens, you can touch that position?!" He said the last few words, and suddenly roared, The hand also pointed directly at the throne where the emperor sat without any scruples, "Dreaming! Let me tell you, it's all daydreaming!"

His eyes were ferocious, and his entire face was distorted, revealing his jealousy.

"I'm here to tell you today, why, I, Da Chen,... build a country with martial arts! Instead of writing, swords are always more useful than words and pens." Chen Yazi laughed again, smiling softly and triumphantly. , laughed heartily, and finally laughed unscrupulously, "Come here, someone is plotting rebellion, arrest, capture, rebel, thief!"

"Yes!!!" The next moment, a thunderous sound came from outside the Hanyu Hall. It was a sound composed of countless voices, mixed with the sudden sound of stomping the ground, like a punishment from heaven.

Many ministers who had just knelt down fell limply to the ground, pouring out shit and urine again.

With a uniform pace, a group of soldiers wearing the most elite armor came in from outside the Hanyu Hall, but it was the Royal Forest Army that should belong directly to the emperor in the palace.

"Xiao Moli, the commander of the Chilongwei of the Royal Forest Army, listened to the order. The third prince, Chen Xifeng, and the prime minister, Yuan Bailu, and a group of party members colluded with the reckless gangsters to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor. The evidence is conclusive. Write, on the spot, behead, stand, and execute!" Chen Yazi said the last three words word by word while looking at Chen Xiaofeng. In his eyes, there were endless flames, the ecstasy that the old grudges for many years could finally come to fruition, and endless ridicule, "Why? So? Third brother, you have exhausted your brains and tricks, thinking that you are sure of victory, but in the blink of an eye, all your exquisite planning disappeared, and all the evidence you carefully prepared for me was no match for my iron army. Does it feel good to be your evidence of guilt?"

"The world..." Chen Yazi opened his arms wildly, as if wanting to embrace the whole world, "I'm alone."

This is, really, Chen Yazi.

"Is that really the case? Brother Huang?" At this moment, Chen Xiaofeng, who had been listening silently, suddenly stood up straight, and he no longer had the slightly bent-over look when he was facing Chen Yaizu. He also changed from His Highness to a more cordial Emperor Brother.

His hands were folded on his abdomen, and his whole body was as straight as a flag. In his eyes, there was an extremely warm light, like a lake or an ocean.

Can't see the bottom.
