Chapter 316 Do you want to die or live? (Ask for monthly ticket)

The air in the hall has become as dense as a mountain!

It weighs on everyone's heart, and even breathing can no longer be smooth!

Before today, the prince was still the orthodox crown prince in the eyes of everyone, although he could not see any outstanding talents, but his temperament was gentle and humble, and Xu Yin was also the affectionate and elegant Zhou Dynasty scholar in the eyes of the world. Who can To think that they could be so bold and vicious in private?
The emperor walked up to the detained prince and Xu Yin and said word by word: "Is what King Rong said true?"

The prince opened his mouth, but before the words came out, the emperor slapped him in the face!
Even though the palm that had held the spear was old, it was not weak at all despite the endless pain of losing a son. The prince was staggered by the slap, covered his face and hit the glazed lamppost. The lamp was knocked to the ground with a snap. There was a crisp sound.

"Get my Longquan Sword! I will kill this traitor with my own hands!"

The emperor pointed his finger at the prince, and his angry voice resounded throughout the hall!
The prince's facial muscles trembled for a while, then he knelt on the ground with a plop, shouted "Father", and then walked in front of him on his knees: "Father, please forgive me! I was confused for a moment and accidentally caused a big disaster! I, I I don’t want to kill my eldest brother, I’m just afraid that when my eldest brother comes back, my father, the Queen, and my mother will no longer see him. I’ve been hearing you and my mother keep talking about how great my eldest brother is since I was a child. I’m really scared, my father!

"——Mother! Queen mother, please save me! I am also your blood and flesh and blood born in ten months of pregnancy! My eldest brother is dead. I have to be filial to you. I will be double filial to my father and you in the future. Mother, you Please, father, please give me a chance!"

"Shut up!"

The queen roared hoarsely, her eyes were already red, and two lines of clear tears kept falling down her face. Her trembling body was supported with all her strength. "When you are about to die, are you still trying to favor me and your father?

“You are our son, we made you the prince and expected you to take over the country.

"Yi'er is also our son. Does it mean that just because you have become the crown prince, we no longer have the right to miss him? Can't he let us miss him?
"As a man, you don't have any tolerance at all. What's more, you are still a prince. You can't even tolerate your own brother. How can you be worthy of taking over this country?!
"The evidence is in front of you, but you are still stubborn! You are still trying to frame these meritorious generals in the court with Xu Yin!
"Don't you think about it, if it weren't for them, wouldn't you be qualified to sit on the throne of the prince? If it weren't for Pei Zhan, and if it weren't for so many soldiers who died fighting to stabilize the northwest, maybe the Great Zhou Dynasty would no longer exist today! Are you allowed to play these conspiracies here?

"You don't deserve to have the soldiers of the world bow down! You don't deserve it! You are plotted by a foreign traitor like Xu Yin who hides his head and shows his tail. You don't deserve to be our son!"

The Queen's voice went from hoarse to hoarse, and every word was like a whip!
The prince was stunned: "'Foreign' traitor?" He glanced at Xu Yin, then looked at the queen: "What does the queen mean by this? Isn't Xu Yin from the Zhou Dynasty? Isn't his ancestral home from Tanzhou?"

It's not like he has no authority. Ever since Xu Yin came to see him last time, he had been careful and sent people to check all the information Xu Yin could find.

His ancestral home will definitely not be avoided during the investigation, because his family involvement must be clarified.

So he remembered very clearly that Xu Yin was from Tanzhou, his ancestor was a local squire, and his father was a civil servant at best, so they wandered around during the war!

Why does this have anything to do with a foreign country?

"You idiot! You only care about carrying out your own conspiracy and have provoked some people. Haven't you figured out yet?!"

The emperor pointed at Xu Yin angrily: "Ask him, who is the King of Dayueyi who competed with the king of Dayue for imperial power more than 20 years ago?!"

Ever since He Qunying's ship was lost at the dock, Xu Yin had guessed that Tieying had fallen into Pei Zhan's hands.

But when the emperor said these words to his face, he still had a look of confusion on his face!
He knew that Tieying would be found out, but even Xu Yin himself didn't know what Tieying knew about him. How could he imagine what he would say to Pei Zhan?
If he knew, he wouldn't have to go through all the trouble to get the person to the capital to interrogate him in person!
"Are you from Prince Yi's Mansion?!"

If the prince was quite confident before King Rong appeared, then at this moment when Xu Yin's secret was exposed, he couldn't hold back at all!

Prince Yi's Mansion was the one who had an imperial power struggle with Dayue King!
He, like the remnants of the Lord of the Otsuki Kingdom, is very special to the relationship between the two countries!

As the crown prince, he is connected with the royal forces of the enemy country - even if the emperor and the empress can forgive themselves because of the difficulties in inheriting the throne, but with this layer, there is no possibility of forgiveness at all!

He understood very well the importance the emperor and empress attached to this country. From the pacification of the Central Plains and the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the years of war with Da Yue, they had devoted their whole life to it. They still believed that their original uprising was to "let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment." "Truly living in a peaceful and prosperous age" is regarded as a rule. How could they allow themselves to associate with the remnants of the enemy's clan?

"How can you be from Prince Yi's Mansion?" The prince murmured and looked at Xu Yin, "Why are you hiding in Dazhou?!"

When Xu Yin's identity changed, everything about his treatment of Yang Yi also changed!
Even if he really just didn't want his rights to be threatened, now it turns out that he wants to avoid this threat and even colludes with the remnants of the enemy country!

"Your Highness, Prince, calm down!" Xu Yin gritted his teeth and looked at him sideways, "Don't lose your bearings. I was born in Tanzhou and grew up in Dazhou. I have never even set foot on Dayue's land. How can I Maybe it’s someone from Dayue? It’s even more unlikely that it’s someone from Prince Yi’s Mansion!”

After speaking, he glared at Pei Zhan fiercely: "General Pei is brave and wise, and he is able to get to the bottom of an unknown murder case, which is admirable!

"Prince Rong and his son are not dead. I admit all the things I did! But you can't even think of blaming me for those unwarranted charges!

"In order to deal with me as much as possible and avenge Liang Ning, you can even make up a lie that I am a foreigner. I want to ask you, what evidence do you have?!"

The eunuch heard what he said, looked at him twice and walked up to the emperor: "To report to the emperor, all the witnesses have been brought into the palace according to the order and are waiting outside the door."

The emperor said: "Let them all come in!"

The eunuch nodded and waved outside. Soon there were footsteps outside. When a group of people arrived at the door, Yongping's voice sounded first:
"Your Majesty, the women kneel down and beg you to cut Xu Yin into pieces immediately!..."

After she broke in, she immediately threw herself in front of the emperor and the empress. Her face, which had been perfectly groomed before, was now distorted and ferocious, and her body, which was so proud that it would never bend in front of anyone, was now filled with strong hatred. It unexpectedly broke into a bow!

"Xu Yin is not a human! He actually ordered his own son to kill people! He used our son as a killing tool! And our son is only five years old! He is a complete beast!"

Yong Ping's throat was broken by shouting, his fingers were clinging to the ground unconsciously, and the joints of his index finger turned blue-white!

The queen took a deep breath: "Hold her away first!" After saying that, she turned her eyes to Tieying who was carried in. This was the only face she didn't recognize among all the people, and his identity was self-evident:

"Tell me your origins, and then reveal everything you know about Xu Yin!"

Tie Ying glanced at Pei Zhan and said: "I am here from Dayue. My master is the descendant of the King of Dayue Kingdom left behind among the people. I came from Xu Yin's hometown Tanzhou to investigate. In the process, he was caught by the dead soldiers he secretly raised, and then secretly transported to the capital.

"It was your general Pei Zhan who intercepted me.

"For the sake of General Pei saving me, I won't lie. I'm not sure whether he is a descendant of Prince Yi's Mansion or Duan Mian's son.

"But he has close contacts with the staff of Prince Yi's Mansion. The housekeeper of his ancestral home in Tanzhou was a former guest of Prince Yi's Mansion.

"He secretly raised more than a hundred highly skilled warriors in his ancestral home in Tanzhou. The behavior of these warriors was exactly the same as that of the people in Prince Yi's Mansion!
"General Pei acted quickly. In just one day, he had already exposed Xu Yin and locked him in the palace.

"No matter how quick the reaction of the people around him is, as long as you use the 800-mile horse in the army, you will definitely be able to rush to Tanzhou to verify the authenticity before them."

As soon as he said these words, everyone in the palace looked at Xu Yin and changed their eyes again.

Even if he said that he was not sure whether Xu Yin was from the Prince of Yi's Mansion, the fact that the manager of the ancestral home in Tanzhou was actually a retainer of the Prince of Yi's Mansion, and that Xu Yin, a mere civil servant, actually raised so many powerful assassins, was enough to explain the problem!

Except for Pei Zhan, Liang Chen and others who already knew enough about this, the remaining ministers of Dali Temple and the imperial censors had forgotten how to react!
Xu Yin had been an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than six years. During the imperial examination, his identity and origin had been verified in a standardized and strict manner. Moreover, he spoke fluent Central Plains dialect, and even many Tanzhou nationals in the imperial court Everyone who has close contact with him can prove that his Tanzhou dialect is very authentic!

How could he be an Oyue person?

And he’s from the Otsuki royal family!

This truth is so shocking!

Everyone needs time to digest!

The prince glared at Xu Yin for a moment, struggled away from the guard who was holding him down, then picked up a foot-high ceramic and rushed over: "You thief! -"

But just as he stretched out his hand, Xu Yin, who was also suppressed, turned around. He also broke away from the guard's palm and hit the prince's wrist with his palm!

The ceramic fell to the ground with a clang, and Xu Yin also grabbed the prince's arm:
"Your Highness and I are already on the same line. I know that Your Highness has already made preparations before coming here. Do you want to live now?!"

The prince's eyes suddenly froze.

He had indeed given instructions to Jin Bao before coming, and had prepared preparations for Concubine Li's two brothers who were in charge of the palace guards.

There are not many people, but with these troops, there is no problem in keeping him out of the Qianqing Palace. According to his plan, after he leaves, it is not a big deal to dispatch a group of people to support him to compete with the emperor's troops left in the palace. .

But the key is that both Pei Zhan and Liang Chen are here now. These two are warriors who have conquered an entire month! In this case, it is hard to say whether he can still achieve his wish!

Before the prince could speak, the guards had already arrived. Xu Yin said at the last moment: "If your highness the prince thinks that the He family is qualified, then you should act decisively!"

Although these words were mixed in with the scoldings of the guards, the prince still heard them!
A few days ago, when he asked people to conduct a thorough investigation of Xu Yin, many clues showed that he had contacts with He Qunying and He Huan respectively!

The He family took charge of the troops of three guards in the Gyeonggi camp! With them protecting themselves, it is enough to resist for a while. But their family alone cannot completely defeat the other four generals!

Since he had already made preparations, how could the prince not know that it was time to take action now?
But he has no confidence that he can defeat Pei Zhan and Liang Chen!

He raised his eyes to look at the empress with cold eyes. Suddenly, he shuddered and his teeth clenched unconsciously!

Seeing such eyes, he knew that he would not survive!
Xu Yin's words may not be true, but he is indeed unwilling!

This country was originally his!
Why did Pei Zhan become a prostitute overnight?

Now that he is sure that he can break out of the Qianqing Palace, why should he sit here and wait for death?
Even if you live one more moment, you have one more moment of opportunity, right?
It is better to fight to the death than to stay and get stabbed in vain!

Thinking of this, he chuckled, then gritted his teeth and shouted: "Where are General Li's people!"

After this loud shout, he suddenly struggled to throw away the guard who was holding him down, then quickly took out a short sword from his boot, pointed it at the emperor and rushed towards him!
Just after Xu Yin's mask was torn apart, Pei Zhan and Liang Chen had been paying attention to their movements. As soon as the prince made this move, the two of them jumped up, one to the side of the emperor and the other to the side of the empress. At the same time, they moved the empress Protect behind you!

But the prince's move turned out to be a false move. The emperor and empress were located farthest from the door, and Pei and Liang stepped forward to protect her, which meant they were far away from the door!
The guards quickly divided into two groups, one to fetch them and the other to escort them. However, at this moment, there were chaotic footsteps outside Qianqing Palace that should not have appeared!

The palace servants who were originally waiting outside rushed in: "Li Yao and Li Yu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, broke in with their men!"

In an instant, several warriors with crossbows appeared at the four windows at the same time, pointing the tips of their arrows at Pei Liang and the two people beside the empress!

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and two young generals dressed in the uniforms of the guards strode in: "Pei Zhan, Liang Chen, and others framed His Highness the Crown Prince with the intention of kidnapping the Emperor to rebel. Please forgive me for the delay in my rescue." crime!"
