My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"What?"

Upon hearing the Imperial Guard general's words, Meng Xiutang's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice, "Jiang Jingxuan... has rebelled?"

At this moment, not only was Meng Xiutang shocked, but all the civil and military officials present were also stunned, looking at the Imperial Guard general in disbelief.

Just a moment ago, Meng Xiutang was saying that Jiang Jingxuan was a member of the Jiang family of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion and had made great contributions, so he would definitely be able to control 30,000 soldiers in a short time and there would be no disturbance.

Yes, they did take control in a short time, but what happened next... they led their troops in rebellion!

That's a ridiculously quick slap in the face!

Sitting on the dragon throne, Xiao Jinxuan was clearly taken aback for a moment, and his expression quickly darkened.

If 30,000 soldiers were to storm the palace, that would be no ordinary riot!

Li Bingzhang snapped out of his daze and stood to the side, his eyes darting around.

A moment later, a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Brilliant, this plan... is absolutely brilliant!

If Jiang Jingxuan rebelled, then there would be another explanation for Jiang Jingcheng's alleged collusion with the enemy.

In order to seize control of the Jiang family's military power, Jiang Jingxuan deliberately forged a secret letter, framed Jiang Jingcheng, and sent him to prison.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the Emperor's edict, he took over the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

Before anyone could react, he led 30,000 soldiers in rebellion!

So what if the person who forged the secret letter can't be found right away?!

Besides, 30,000 soldiers have already been mobilized. Looking around the capital, who can suppress them?

Relying solely on the Imperial Guards is probably not enough!

After all, if a conflict breaks out, countless people will die or be injured, and if things go wrong, the entire capital city will fall into a deathly silence.

Therefore, the final result was that Jiang Jingcheng was released.

Because right now, only Jiang Jingcheng has the qualifications and ability to make these 30,000 soldiers stop completely!

Thinking about this, Li Bingzhang finally understood why the Princess had sent someone to inform him that he no longer needed to investigate the secret letter.

because……

Haha, there's really no need for that!

"This...this is impossible!"

After regaining his senses, Meng Xiutang took a few steps to the general, his face pale, and said, "Jiang Jingxuan has rebelled?"

"You can't just spout nonsense about something this important!"

"Your Excellency, I am not speaking carelessly!"

The general knelt on the ground, sweat pouring down his forehead: "Thirty thousand soldiers are already heading towards the palace!"

"Our Imperial Guards went to stop them, but there were simply too many of them, and we couldn't hold them off at all! It's too late for the Imperial Guards to send more troops now!!"

At this point, the Imperial Guard general raised his head and looked at Xiao Jinxuan on the dragon throne, saying, "Moreover, I saw it clearly: the one leading the group... was none other than Jiang Jingxuan!"

As soon as the general finished speaking, the court fell completely silent.

Meng Xiutang stood there, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Should we explain for Jiang Jingxuan?

How do you explain this?!

Thirty thousand soldiers are already heading towards the palace!

At this moment, anyone who dares to speak up for Jiang Jingxuan could be accused of being an accomplice!

"His Majesty!"

Li Bingzhang glanced coldly at Meng Xiutang, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Jinxuan: "Lord Jiang, you have indeed been wronged!"

"This Jiang Jingxuan is a wolf in sheep's clothing. In order to seize control of the military power of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, he deliberately produced a forged secret letter to send Marquis Jiang and his heir to prison!"

"Now that their goal has been achieved, they are leading 30,000 soldiers in rebellion; their intentions are despicable!"

At this point, Li Bingzhang paused slightly, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I implore you to immediately release the Marquis of Zhenbei. He has guarded the northern border for many years and enjoys extremely high prestige in the army!"

"Now that 30,000 soldiers have suddenly rebelled, the Imperial Guards are unable to withstand them. Only the Marquis of Zhenbei can possibly quell this!"

Li Bingzhang's words brought the entire court to their senses, and they all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please release the Marquis of Zhenbei!"

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiutang's face turned grim, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Someone come here!"

Xiao Jinxuan sat there, his face terribly grim, suppressing his anger: "Guards, quickly go to the prison and bring out Marquis Jiang and his son, Jiang! Now!"

Just as Li Bingzhang said, Jiang Jingcheng is the only one who can resolve this matter now!

"yes!"

The eunuch Gao, who was standing nearby, hurriedly responded and turned to rush out of the main hall.

I almost fell down the steps because I was running too fast.

The atmosphere in the imperial court became incredibly oppressive at this moment.

Li Bingzhang stood there with his head down, a slight smile still playing on his lips.

He was curious as to who had orchestrated this whole thing.

The Eldest Princess, or Jiang Xiaobai?

Whoever it is, this plan is simply terrifying!

The other party only threw a bucket of dirty water, but this strategy turned a whole river of dirty water back into the water!

Moreover, it's the kind of situation where you can't refuse to acknowledge it!

……

Inside the palace prison at this moment.

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, slowly straightening his slightly wrinkled clothes.

Then, glancing at Jiang Jingcheng, who was leaning against the wall and clearly looking listless, he smiled and said, "Father, it's just that you haven't eaten for a day, isn't it?"

"Once we go out today, we can eat more!"

"We'll have to wait until we get out!"

Jiang Jingcheng raised his eyelids and gave Jiang Xiaobai a disgruntled look.

"Haha, then how about..."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Son, would you like me to recite another rapid-fire monologue?"

"roll!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingcheng's face immediately darkened.

Still using rapid-fire delivery?

Jiang Xiaobai's talk about steamed lamb and steamed bear paws yesterday kept him up all night.

If this happened again, his stomach would probably be growling like a war drum!

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's relaxed expression, Jiang Jingcheng also stood up, leaning against the wall.

"noob!"

Jiang Jingcheng stretched his slightly numb legs, his expression filled with doubt: "Are we really able to get out today?"

"Believe me!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile: "It definitely will!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of tremors came from outside the prison.

Footsteps echoed continuously, interspersed with shouts from the jailers.

"It seems..."

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced outside: "It's already in chaos outside!"

"Is it a mess?"

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a puzzled expression: "What's going on?"

Jiang Xiaobai simply smiled and did not answer.

Just then, Eunuch Gao rushed in from outside the corridor.

Because he was running too fast, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

A jailer with a tense expression followed behind and quickly helped Eunuch Gao up.

"Never mind me, quick, open the cell door!"

Eunuch Gao, leaning against the wall and panting heavily, said, "Quickly release Marquis Jiang and the Heir Apparent!"

Upon hearing this, the jailer dared not delay and quickly took out the key from his waist.

Click!

As the prison door opened, Eunuch Gao hurried to Jiang Jingcheng, his face full of urgency, and said, "My lord, the young master!"

"His Majesty commands that you two proceed to the main hall immediately. Please come with me!"
