Chapter 138 Changing the Dragon Flag

The four of them returned to Prince Duan's Mansion together.Lingxue and others were very anxious and were planning to go to Ji Mansion to search again, when they saw Prince Duan come in, followed by the Crown Prince!Miss Cheng!There is another uncle!Oh. I don’t know.Ling Feng quickly arranged for people to inform the two mansions: Stop looking for it, everyone is in Prince Duan's mansion properly.

King Jie gave Ling Feng an address and asked him to contact them.Ling Feng took a look: West Market Trading Place!Well, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the trading pit.Soon, Youren, who had received the corvee king's handwritten letter and token, drove a carriage to pick up the corvee king. When the three of them saw the corvee king without his beard, they were a little uncomfortable. After looking at it several times, they were sure that this was the corvee king himself.

"Prince Duan, we, Youren, must repay you for your rescue this time. Tomorrow I will notify all the Youren in the capital to withdraw to Huguang. As for the traitor Jiudian, he has violated the clan rules, and Youren will let him get it." You deserve the punishment." The corvee king smiled and said, "Youren will always be your friend!"

The Crown Prince hated Jiu Diao the most. He asked: "If a person is made into a poisonous person, is it possible to detoxify and return to normal?" What he is thinking about is Wushuang and Wuying.

The king shook his head and said: "If he has become a poisonous person, his body will change internally. If you detoxify him, it will be like feeding him poison. There is no other ending except self-destruction." The prince heard this. ,Saw it.

After the corvee king left, the two returned to the main hall.Cheng Hanbai, who came to pick up Haitang, was already sitting inside with a haggard look on his face, while Haitang stood beside her at a loss.It seems that he has told his sister everything about his father being escorted back to Beijing.

"We can't control whether Jichuan will be suspicious. First, we need to solve the matter of General Cheng being framed for rebellion." After a moment of silence, Prince Duan said to the Cheng brothers and sisters: "We still have to go to Ji's Mansion again." With that said, he called Ling Yun and whispered to him. Ling Yun nodded and hurried out.

In the previous life, no one had impeached Duke Ji. At that time, they also found dragon robes in Prince Xian's Mansion, which Duke Ji had prepared for his military admonishment in Prince Xian's palace.But when the dragon robe was taken as evidence and presented to the emperor in the main hall, the emperor smiled: "Where is this dragon robe? It is obviously the prince's uniform! Could it be that I can't even tell the difference between the Nine Dragons and the Four Pythons?"

The impeached minister quickly took a closer look, and sure enough, the bright yellow turned into golden yellow, and the five-clawed nine dragon turned into a four-clawed and four-clawed python!He falsely accused the Duke and the prince of the country and could not escape being beheaded. Fortunately, King Duan begged hard and he was spared.King Duan felt miserable because he sent someone to sneak into the minister's house to change into the royal robe. He saved King Xian, but also killed the good minister.

In this life, you must treat others the same way you treat them!

They have the python flag themselves. You must know that first-class or second-class officials with special commendations can use the python flag. The prince also uses the python flag. This is not very targeted, and it is not offensive to Tianyan. .The only blame is that you, Ji Tai, used the wrong flag when you were on patrol.

Just like in the previous life, An Qing left Prince Duan's Mansion with a python flag, and only half an hour later, he came back with the pierced dragon flag.He smiled and handed the dragon flag to King Duan and said, "Don't worry, my lord, even a single hole on the python flag is exactly the same as this one." King Duan opened it, took a look, and asked him to take it out and burn it.

Cheng Yu is a second-grade general and will be judged by the court tomorrow.There is no evidence left, and the witnesses are all Ji Tai's own people. As long as a minister comes out to question it, the emperor cannot believe one-sided words.Now all that's left is for you, Ji Tai, to walk away because you can't eat it!King Duan saw that it was almost dawn and asked everyone to return home quietly.

Looking back, Haitang had fallen asleep on the coffee table. Cheng Hanbai didn't call her, he picked her up and walked to the second-door carriage.King Duan looked at Cheng Hanbai's back and almost wanted to rush forward and snatch Haitang over. He clenched his fists to hold back: Humph!Find an opportunity to move you far away from the capital and see how you still hold me!
Prince Duan closed his clothes and closed his eyes. It was time to go to court. Ling Xue and others had also returned from Sun Mansion, Shen Mansion, Kangding Hou Mansion, and Guan Mansion.It was Ling Feng who went to see Guan Minwen, the Minister of Rites. Although Guan Minwen did not explicitly support King Duan, he was considered a loyal person to the emperor and always put the interests of the emperor first.Guan Shangshu was surprised to see King Duan's captain of the bodyguard coming to visit him early in the morning.

When Ling Feng explained the reason, Guan Minwen nodded and said: "I already know what you said. If it is true as you said, I will definitely act in accordance with the law and will never allow anyone to trample on etiquette." This was what Ling Feng brought back from Shangshu Guan. After hearing this, King Duan went to court with confidence.

"Your Majesty, we have escorted the rebellious ministers Cheng Yu and Dong Haoran back to Beijing yesterday. The witnesses and material evidence are all there. I don't think there is any need for your Majesty to personally interrogate them." Before Ji Guogong finished speaking, Shen An came out:

"Your Majesty, Cheng Yu is a second-grade general. The officials need to clearly record the whole story. Since General Ji personally captured him, if he has merit, he must be rewarded based on his merit. Why don't you ask your Majesty clearly in court? The rewards and punishments are clear, so it can be called Bai Bai. The official is convinced." The emperor nodded and agreed: "Since the man has been escorted back, I will bring the two of them to the main hall and I will personally interrogate them. Let's see if this Cheng Yu has stayed at the border for too long, is proud of himself, and will not let me go. It’s in my eyes!” None of the ministers in the palace dared to say anything.

Duke Ji sneered and said to the people outside the palace: "Bring people to commit crimes and bring people to testify and provide evidence!"

Only Cheng Yu and Dong Haoran were brought in tied up. Jitai, who was walking in front, proudly reported: "See you, Your Majesty! The last general Jitai was ordered to lead the dragon flag and dragon chariot on a patrol, but unexpectedly they arrived at the Xuan Mansion. In the town, the town general Cheng Yu and the deputy general Dong Haoran uttered arrogant words, not only attacked the patrols, but also raised the dragon flag with guns and slandered His Majesty."

After saying that, he waved his hand behind him, and his entourage immediately held up the flag respectfully.

"Cheng Yu, what else do you have to say?" The emperor looked at Cheng Yu's slightly gray hair and couldn't bear it. He couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Lao Cheng didn't want to be his in-laws?
Cheng Yu knelt in the hall, with his hands clasped behind his back, and still bowed to the emperor: "My loyalty to your majesty can be seen from the blue sky. That day I saw a team from a distance, but before I could see the dragon flag and dragon chariot clearly, General Ji mentioned They were stabbed with guns, and in order to protect ourselves, we fought against them."

"Sophistry! Didn't you see clearly when the dragon flag was destroyed?" Ji Tai sneered and said, "Don't bully Your Majesty, you don't know how long a gun is!" This is the truth, the distance of a gun, With such a big dragon flag, you can see it even if you squint your eyes.The officials began to talk about it.

Guan Shangshu, who had been observing, came out and said: "Your Majesty, can you have someone unfold the destroyed dragon flag? After seeing the evidence, we can make a judgment."

Duke Ji said: "That's right!" After looking at the evidence, and taking advantage of the emperor's anger, he could fan the flames of evil and light a will-o'-the-wisp, and let the emperor kill the nine tribes.

The guard holding the flag shook his hand, and a broken flag appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this the flag?" Guan Shangshu asked.Ji Tai answered numbly: "It's exactly this flag! Knowing that the physical evidence is very important, I locked it in the cabinet when I got it back yesterday. No one has ever touched it." After speaking, Ji Tai looked back, his proud smile froze. Face: What the hell is this?

Sun Yushi quickly came out and said: "Did General Ji take the wrong flag when he went on patrol? This is obviously the python flag, where is the dragon flag? Are you bullying the emperor and being as old and dim as us?"

Ji Tai didn't know how to answer for a moment and quickly looked to his grandfather for help.Unexpectedly, seeing Ji Guogong looking at him angrily, he could only say calmly: "The scene. There are witnesses at the scene! By the way! There is also a dragon chariot!"

"Bring witnesses!" Ji Guogong wanted to end it quickly.Several Jitai guards who were waiting outside the hall came in, followed by several more, all wearing Xuanfu Town military uniforms!Duke Ji just wanted to find a place to vomit blood.The physical evidence is wrong, and the witness is useless. This matter is too heart-warming, so let’s let the Cheng family go first. Who can say that his grandson can’t do it?
After the father-in-law and the mother-in-law stated their reasons, all the ministers realized that this was unreasonable and that it was the Ji family that was causing trouble for the old Cheng family.It's a confusing case that can't be settled. I'll go home for dinner next morning.

The Minister of Rites, Guan Shangshu, did not want to finish. He saluted the emperor and said:
"My lord, by impeaching Major General Ji, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting your superiors!"
