Chapter 684 The Blood Book

What's more, the news from Zhen Guohou's cronies and the fact that the rebels have tried to rescue Xia Changhe along the way have not stopped. If anything goes wrong on the way from the city gate to the palace, then Not good.

In order to prevent Ye Changhe from having many dreams, Xia Changhe had to be escorted into the palace quietly and unobtrusively, so that he could negotiate with the rebels in a decisive manner.

King Ning was a little displeased, but seeing that many people agreed, even Zhu Jingyu and Xie Ming bowed their heads in silence, acquiescing, he thought about it again, and it was true, so he had to hold back for now With excitement in my heart, I agreed.

At this point, King Ning was heartbroken, and finally put it back into his stomach a little bit.

And the rebel army displayed outside the south gate did not know if they also heard the news, but they died down for the time being, and did not move for several days.

A few days later, Xihou of the old town entered Beijing.

It was he and Zhen Guohou who escorted Xia Changhe back quietly with a team of masters first, and the accompanying army at the rear was just to attract the attention of those rebels, and was able to escort Xia Changhe back to the palace safely.

However, on the way from the city gate to the palace, the rebels came out a few times. Fortunately, King Ning had already prepared for it. Neither the old Zhenxihou nor the Zhenguohou were vegetarians, so they were surprised at last. Without danger, Xia Changhe was escorted into the palace gate.

Without going to the gate of the city to pick him up, King Ning could barely wait at the Hall of Supreme Harmony with all his ministers now.

Until someone came to report that the two Marquis had brought the traitor Xia Changhe to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the entire hall was silent, and everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the hall gate.

After a while, faint footsteps came.

In the line of sight, the first person is wearing armor. Although he is in his sixtieth year, he is still energetic and vigorous. He is the old town Xihou.

The person who was half a step behind him was also in armor, slightly fatter, and he was the Marquis of Zhen Guo.Speaking of which, this was the first time I saw Zhen Guohou dressed in military uniform.

Behind them, there are four soldiers who are escorting one person, against the light, with their heads slightly lowered, their beard and hair are a little messy, covering their heads and faces, so they can't be seen clearly for the time being.

Can.
The smile on King Ning's face faded slightly, and the other people in the hall also felt weird, something is wrong!In the Forbidden Palace, except for the Forbidden Army, the generals had to put down their weapons to enter the palace gate, but the old Zhen Xihou and Zhen Guohou were both wearing armor and entered with their swords.

At this time, Old Zhen Xihou had stopped, as did Zhen Guohou and the soldiers behind him.

King Ning's thoughts turned, but he smiled repeatedly. He stepped down from the high steps, took two steps forward, and said with joy, "Old Hou Ye, you are back!"

As soon as the word "Le" was dropped, there was a "shua" sound of the sword, and the old Zhen Xihou, who had been sinking like water, drew his sword out of its sheath, and pointed the tip of the sword straight at King Ning's face.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, what happened?
This is a crime of disrespect!Although King Ning has not yet ascended the throne, he is still a legitimate emperor's younger brother.

The expression on Lao Zhen Xihou's face did not flicker at all, and he stared at King Ning firmly and indifferently.

The smile on King Ning's face became stiff and bitter, but he still had to force himself to say, "What is the old Hou doing?"

"Zhu Zheng, you rebellious minister and traitor, you still have the face to ask the old man what you want to do?" Old Zhen Xihou snorted, the two white beards curled up around his mouth, but the long sword in his hand was held firmly.

He didn't even call him by his first name, but he opened his mouth to be a traitor. The rest of the people in the palace knew that today's situation was serious, and they shrugged and shook their shoulders.

King Ning smiled, "What is the old Hou Ye talking about? There must be some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Old Zhen Xihou sneered, "Today, this old man will let everyone in the world see clearly your wolfish ambitions and convince you." After finishing speaking, Old Zhen Xihou took out something from his sleeve, It was a letter written in silk. The color of the silk was light, with two bloodstains showing faintly. The old Zhen Xihou looked around the hall for a while, and then he shook off the silk in his hand. In front of King Ning.

"This blood book was written by the late emperor you said. It clearly stated your many evil deeds, how you murdered the king of Sui, how you framed the prince for rebellion, killed the king, imprisoned him, and treated him. Prescribing medicine, threatening him to order you to be the emperor's younger brother, all kinds of evil deeds, too numerous to record, if His Royal Highness Ning still feels wronged, can I ask this old man to read this blood letter carefully in front of all the ministers? Several elders, Do you want to go over them one by one to see clearly?"

The elders of the pavilion naturally didn't dare to say a word, but King Ning's face was livid, but he still forced his innocent face to say, "Dare to ask the old Hou Ye, where did this blood letter come from? How can the old Hou Ye He listens and believes, but doesn’t believe in this king? This king is the emperor’s younger brother who was canonized by the late emperor himself and announced to the world. How can he be a traitor? No matter what is written in this bloody book, it must be someone else’s forgery and slander. I can't believe it!"

"I can still recognize the handwriting on this letter. It is His Majesty's own handwriting." Old Zhen Xihou was dissatisfied with being questioned, and blew his beard and stared.

"Old Hou Ye, there are many strange people in this world, and this king already knows that some people can counterfeit other people's handwriting, so as to confuse the real with the fake." King Ning said helplessly.

"Zhu Zheng, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you are really an old man who is so confused that you can't even tell whether the handwriting in this blood book is true or not? You forgot, the old man was a prince before. Guaranteed."

As soon as the old Zhen Xihou said this, all the surroundings were silent, and so was King Ning.Yes!Prince Shaobao!It was exactly what Emperor Qianhe did when he was still the crown prince, and he was a close minister of Emperor Qianhe when he was still the prince. He was naturally very familiar with Emperor Qianhe's handwriting.

"What's more. This handwriting is not the handwriting that His Majesty has shown people all the year round. This handwriting is from when His Majesty was young, knowing that the old man is left-handed and used to writing with his left hand, so he practiced it out of curiosity. But because he was afraid of people talking, he never showed it in front of people. In addition, the old man and Between Your Majesty, there are secret words and tokens, all of which can be matched, and no one else knows except Your Majesty. Is this the case, and you still have to quibble?"

The smile on King Ning's face had completely disappeared, and his thin lips, which were exactly the same as Zhu Jingyu's, were slowly pursed into a straight line, his tiger eyes were slightly focused, staring at the old Zhen Xihou, and the eyes were full of cold and sharp light.

Old Zhen Xihou stared at him closely, and smiled suddenly, "It seems that you have nothing to say?"

King Ning was silent, and the old Zhen Xihou suddenly turned his head and said to the officials in the hall, "Everyone, you can all see and hear clearly, our Highness King Ning, for the sake of our own ambition and greed, we are fighting each other with blood. Unfaithful ministers, unrighteous uncles, truly disorderly ministers and traitors, everyone will punish them. You are all loyal, brave, benevolent and righteous people, don't be fooled by him, you must keep your eyes open, and work with the old man to set things right. "

"Marquis of Zhenxi!" King Ning finally opened his mouth, "I thought you were upright, loyal and trustworthy, but I didn't think so. After all, it was the king who made the wrong payment."
