Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 133
Himekawa's harsh words were not for nothing.

Prince Duan, it turns out, has only one weakness, Concubine Ji in the palace.But Concubine Ji has been a low-key person for many years, her mother's family is humble, and there are not many concubines in the palace anymore. If there is any movement, everyone will pay attention.Over the years, Concubine Ji has dominated the harem. If something happens to a concubine, she will be the first to be suspected.Himekawa is not even interested in attacking Concubine Ji.

But now, King Duan has a second weakness, and that is the future Princess Duan, Cheng Haitang.

When Ji Chuan talked to King Xian, it was exactly what he wanted.Originally, Prince Duan wanted to ask for Cheng Haitang before Cheng Xiangjin gave birth to her child, but he was deeply frustrated and looked displeased with Cheng Xiangjin.

"If this attack on the Cheng Mansion can kill two birds with one stone and eliminate Cheng Mansion's in-laws, Prince De's Mansion, that would be very satisfying. Prince Duan has lost the support of General Cheng's Mansion and Prince De's Mansion, so what strength can he use? Fight with me?" King Xian looked at Ji Chuan with a smile and asked, "What kind of crime can make them unable to recover?"

Himekawa said with a half-smile: "Why did your Highness forget? Prince De's Palace has always been a thorn in the Emperor's heart, so even though he knew that there was a rift between the Imperial Concubine and Prince De's Palace, he always turned a blind eye. And the Cheng Mansion has Military power, when imperial power and military power come together, how can the emperor not be wary? Now, the Crown Prince has used himself to marry a foreigner to dispel the emperor's wariness, but... what if this is not the case? "

"As for Cheng Mansion." Ji Chuan gave up and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. But King Xian could see that he even vomited the tea stems with such joy.

"Oh? It seems that uncle already has an idea?" King Xian said in surprise.In fact, he rarely calls Ji Chuan "uncle". How can he be related to someone who wants to break up with the Ji family?But today was different. Usually he didn't pay much attention to Prince Duan, which made him a little flustered for no reason.

"It's not that I just had the idea, but I have already taken advantage of Cheng Yu!" Ji Chuan picked up a memorial from the table and handed it to King Xian. King Xian opened it and was shocked.

The two looked at each other knowingly and laughed meaningfully.

Cheng Hanbai's left eyelid has been twitching since he got up today. He pressed it for a long time, but it still started twitching when he let go.So Cheng Hanbai asked his sister: "Sister, do you think the twitching of the left eyelid is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Cheng Haitang was watching the girls serving dishes. She rolled her eyes and said, "Do you want to hear the good stuff first or the bad stuff first?"

"Then I'll listen to the good stuff first, and then the bad stuff." Cheng Hanbai said quickly.

"The good ones are about wealth and disaster. The bad ones are about blessings and misfortunes on the left and right."

Before Cheng Haitang could finish his words, he saw Yu Lang striding in. Seeing the Cheng brothers and sisters from a distance, he shouted in a confused voice: "Oops! Young General! Something happened to the old general!"

Cheng Hanbai stood up abruptly, and looked at his younger sister without breath: "I should hear the bad news first." He didn't notice that his left eyelid had stopped twitching.

Yu Lang stepped into the room without asking for greetings, and said anxiously: "Mr. Ji has provided evidence to accuse the old general of treason. The emperor has sent Jin Yiwei to Xuanfu Town to seize the people!"

"It is absolutely impossible for my father to rebel. What evidence did Duke Ji give?" Cheng Hanbai said as he walked out. Yu Lang stopped him and said, "Major General, you can't go. The gate of the General's Mansion has been blocked by the Jinyi Guards!"

Cheng Hanbai didn't want to do it anymore. He was still a third-grade general. How could he be surrounded by Jin Yiwei without any evidence?Haitang ran forward in small steps and grabbed her brother tightly: "We haven't figured out the reason for dad's matter yet. If you rush into the prison like this again, won't you be playing into Ji's way?"

Cheng Hanbai stopped. Yes, if something happened to his father, his grandmother and sister would still have to take care of him.He raised his head and said to Yu Lang: "Go to Prince Duan and find out what evidence is used to frame my father? I don't believe that my father, who has always been responsible, will bring any evidence of rebellion to the emperor!"

Just as Yu Lang was about to jump over the wall from the west courtyard, he saw the hawthorn branches swaying slightly, and King Duan had already appeared in front of them.King Duan was dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit today, but he barely had his face covered. "Haitang, General Cheng fell into the trap of a traitor. Ji Ruicheng accused him of treason. He is being taken back to the capital by the Jinyi Guards." King Duan knew that the brothers and sisters were eager to find out the reason, so he stepped forward to hold Haitang's shoulders and push her into a chair. He sat down and said: "The reason is really full of flaws, but it is irrefutable!"

It turned out that Zheng Zhengyu and Dong Haoran were patrolling the customs with a group of guards a few days ago, when they suddenly saw a light cavalry detachment holding a dragon flag running towards Xuanfu Town from a distance.Cheng Yu and the others must stop and take a look. It doesn't matter if they look at it, the cavalry team directly charged at Cheng Yu and the others with their guns.

Although it was an accident, generals like Cheng Yu were experienced in many battles. How could someone stab them so easily?Dong Haoran, in particular, swung away the spear that was stabbing Cheng Yu with a sword, pulled the gun towards his arms, grabbed it with his left hand, and said, "Where did you get the fake imperial flag? How dare you assassinate the town general?"

"Fake?" A man wearing a general's soft armor said immediately: "The royal guards are here, and the honor is as if Your Majesty is here in person. How dare you offend? Are you impatient?"

Cheng Yu bowed and said, "Since I am the royal guard, is there any misunderstanding? I am Cheng Yu, the general of Xuanfu. Please stop talking."

"What's there to say to a dying man? Come and accept your fate!" The man was seen charging toward Cheng Yu with a gun and a horse.Dong Haoran did not hesitate, left the cavalry here, and faced the soft-armored general.

Although Dong Haoran's kung fu was not as good as Cheng Hanbai's, he was still one of the best in Xuanfu Town. He saw that the opponent was using a deadly move, so he got worried and stabbed him with his sword, cursing: "What do I care about the dragon flag and the phoenix flag? Even if the emperor comes, I won’t be afraid! You are the first to do it, why don’t you want us to wait to die for no reason?”

The soft-armored general laughed and said, "That's what I've been waiting for!" He took the dragon flag from the cavalryman's hand and moved it forward. The dragon flag was immediately stabbed in half by Dong Haoran's sword.

Cheng Yu's heart trembled, he had something bad in mind, he destroyed the dragon flag, but rebelling against the emperor was a serious crime of treason!He hurriedly clapped his horse and stopped Dong Haoran, fearing that he would really hurt the unidentified imperial guard.I saw the general holding up the broken flag with one hand, pointing at Cheng Yu with the other and shouting: "General Cheng Yu, you dare to rush into the guards, destroy the dragon flag, and utter arrogant words. Are you thinking against it?"

Cheng Yu also wanted to explain that the soft-armored general had already turned his horse and led a group of light cavalry towards where they came from.

Cheng Yu and Dong Haoran looked at each other in dismay, as if the confrontation had just happened, like clouds in a dream.Cheng Yu thought about it all night, but he always felt that it was inappropriate. The next day, he planned to write a letter and inform Han Bai about it, hoping that he could check it in the capital.

Little did he know that Ji Chuan had come up with a way to let Cheng Yu destroy the Dragon Flag, so how could he allow him to ask for help from the capital?Cheng Yu's letter had just been sent, and Ji Ruicheng's note had already been handed over first.This team of light cavalry, but the emperor nodded to patrol the border on his behalf. The soft-armored general Cheng Yujiu did not recognize him at the border. He was Ji Hai's eldest son Ji Tai.

The emperor's decree to "capture the traitor Cheng Yu" was quickly delivered to Ji Tai who was waiting near Xuanfu Town before the ink was dry.Why is Ji Tai waiting on the road?He was just waiting for this letter from Cheng Yu to be sent to the capital!Sure enough, the imperial edict was obtained, but Cheng Hanbai and King Duan were still kept in the dark.

Cheng Hanbai's heart froze when he heard what Xie Ruitang said. There are both human and material evidence. Even if there is something fishy, ​​the emperor won't listen to your explanation!
Haitang didn't dare to express her anger and clenched her hands together tightly.Xie Ruitang saw it, walked over, unfolded her fist, wrapped it in his palm, and said only three words: "I'm here."

He looked at Cheng Hanbai again and said, "You have someone keep an eye on Jin Yiwei, who is detaining your father, so as to prevent anyone from tampering with you on the road. I have to rush to the racecourse, and my son suddenly disappeared."

Brother and sister Cheng Hanbai stared at Xie Ruitang in astonishment, only to hear him say slowly:

"I'm afraid, these two things are aimed at me!"
