The First Traitor [Rebirth]

With the sound of "Boom", King Qi woke up from his sleep and struggled to get out of bed again.

"My lord, what's the matter?" The beloved concubine who was beside me woke up and asked confusedly.

King Qi paid no attention to it, he put on his boots and shouted, "Come on!"

The guard soon appeared at the door: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Call Zhao Shilang and the others!" King Qi hurriedly ordered, then got dressed and walked out of the room.

Not long after, all the officials and party members that King Qi relied on gathered in the palace. One or two of them were still asleep when they were called suddenly without even getting dressed.So when they came, they were all disheveled, so they took care of themselves while listening to King Qi's orders.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Zhao Shilang asked.

"Do you remember that the governor of Kaifeng wrote a letter a few days ago stating that there were bandits making trouble?" King Qi asked.

"Remember, it's just some bandits. The government will go to exterminate them. What's the matter?" Zhao Shilang nodded, not knowing why.

"I had a dream. I dreamed that the soldiers and horses secretly recruited by Prince Min rushed into the palace and killed me, saying that they wanted to avenge Prince Min." King Qi said coldly, "I woke up and thought about it carefully. It is true that the crown prince secretly recruited soldiers and placed them in the ancestral mausoleum. Although there was no evidence to prove what the king said, the king has been investigating secretly. But those people seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one can find any news So, maybe those people dispersed after the death of Prince Min, and then hid in the mountains..."

Everyone was secretly surprised: "If you can do so quietly, if you say that you are not well-trained and meticulously arranged, no one will believe you."

"My lord thinks those bandits are soldiers recruited by Prince Min?" Zhao Shilang asked.

King Qi was very disturbed, he always felt that something was wrong...

While contemplating, the servant hurried in: "My lord, there is an urgent report from the Southern Metropolis garrison."

The Southern Capital is Kaifeng, and the Southern Capital Defense is the official in charge of all left-behind and defensive matters in Kaifeng.As early as when King Qi was in Kaifeng, they had already colluded together.

"There is an urgent report from the Southern Metropolis Defense, it must be related to the Kaifeng incident!" Someone said.

King Qi unfolded the letter and looked at it, he felt a "thump" in his heart, and thought to himself: "Prince Min and I have both been tricked!"

The Bandit, who did not have much pen and ink in Kaifeng's prefect, did not know when he had prepared excellent equipment, and no longer used the name of bandit to rob houses, but used the name of supporting the King of Qi and the King of Qing to make a grandiose place rebel!

"This must be the rebel army that someone discovered in the ancestral mausoleum before, and now they are rebelling in the name of supporting me. They are trying to frame me!" King Qi said angrily.

"My lord is here well, they rebelled like this, who would believe it?!"

"Yes, as long as you tell the emperor, I believe the emperor will not blame the prince for such an obvious frame!"

But Zhao Shilang said: "They are only more than a hundred people, and they dare to rebel. Even if they are captured, I am afraid they will not be able to ask anything. As long as they insist that the prince is the chief envoy, then the king of Liang and the others will definitely make trouble. The emperor has a natural temper If you are suspicious, you must doubt the prince, and the prince has nothing to do with the crown prince!"

"Then what should I do?"

"My lord, it's better to force the palace!" Someone gritted his teeth.

Everyone gasped when they heard the words: "Forcing the palace?! Are you trying to trap the prince in a cruel and unrighteous way?"

The man hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't know something. No matter how good your lord is, the emperor will not be able to make you the crown prince! I heard from people around Princess Luohua that Princess Luohua once visited the emperor, and I heard that The empress told the emperor that among so many princes she saw, only Zhao Wang was loyal, respectful, declaring kindness and kindness, and she wanted to make him the crown prince."

"Impossible, there are Wang Ye and Liang Wang in front of King Zhao, how can we get him?"

"Since the founding of Emperor Tai-Zu in this dynasty, is it rare for the elders to be abandoned and the young to be replaced?" someone sarcastically asked.

Zhao Shilang pondered for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and immediately said to the king: "My lord, don't forget... the secret guards."

King Qi trembled, his eyes were cold and a little apprehensive: "Didn't the secret guards be disbanded by the emperor secretly?"

"These are all rumors. We dare not know, and we dare not ask. Who knows if there is a woman in our mansion who is a secret guard?"

Indeed, the disbandment of the secret guard "Lingyan" was just a rumor that came out from nowhere, and there was no news about "Lingyan" in these years, and everyone gradually forgot its existence.But if the emperor and empress really want to make Zhao Wang the crown prince, then it is not impossible to summon "Ling Yan" to control the court.

When Princess Cheng Ya took over "Lingyan" and eradicated many dissidents for the emperor, it was a bloody storm, but because she acted in secret, no one knew whether the person who died was an accident or really "" Lingyan" handwriting.

"Your Majesty, now there are our people in the Five Cities Bingma Division, the Jingwei Commander Division, the Five Army Dudufu and the Ministry of War. As long as we take advantage of the unpreparedness of the palace, we can raise troops to capture the palace, hold the emperor and queen hostage, and ask them to immediately The prince is the prince..."

"Now that there is no way out, it's better to draw from the bottom of the pot!" Someone agreed.

King Qi thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Send an order to stop the postman who reported the bandits in Kaifeng, and clean up the matter..."

When Qi Wangdang was arrested, he confessed to these things.

And the fact that King Qi forced the palace also shocked the world.

As for the bandits in Kaifeng who rebelled under the banner of King Qi, even though there were people alive, they insisted that they belonged to King Qi, and no one could find any loopholes.

And many people were even almost killed by King Qi, and even Yuan Ye escaped from the tiger's mouth.

That night, besides sending troops to Prince Liang's Mansion and Prince Zhao's Mansion, King Qi also sent a hundred soldiers to Yuan Mansion and Luo Mansion, intending to control Yuan Ye, Luo Lao Hanlin and other powerful officials.

When the gate of Yuan Mansion was knocked open, there was so much noise that all the people woke up from their sleep.Yuan Ye heard the butler rushing to report: "My lord, something is wrong, the soldiers from Prince Qi's mansion broke in with knives!"

Yuan Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered: "Send Xu'er to the princess, and tell the guards in the whole house to wait for the opportunity!"

Yuan Xu didn't dare to cry when he was woken up, so the servants carried him to Xiuwei Garden, but at the gate of the garden, they saw Nan Lian and Yuan Jing dressed neatly.Before he opened his mouth, Nan Lian said: "Put Xu'er in the room, watch over him, don't let him come out."

The servant hurriedly carried Yuan Xu into Nan Lian's room, Yuan Xu was about to call Nan Lian, but the servant warned: "Young master, don't open your mouth, right now the mansion is at a time of life and death!"

Yuan Xu didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, and stayed obediently in the room.Although he wanted to know what happened outside, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and wandered around Nan Lian's room. You must know that he had never stepped into Nan Lian's room since he could remember.Suddenly, he found Yuan Jing's official uniform inside, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Second Young Master, please stay here and don't go anywhere." Chuu Yu said to Yuan Jing.

"You make me like Yuan Xu?" Yuan Jing was dissatisfied.

"Second young master doesn't know boxing skills, and he will only be slowed down when he goes out!" After Chu Yu finished speaking, he followed Nan Lian away.

Yuan actually looked at Huarui and Mai Ran standing beside her, and said, "What are you guys doing, go and protect the princess!"

Hua Rui was really worried about Chuu Yu, so she nodded and left, but Mai Ran was indifferent.

"Mai Ran..."

"That's not my duty." Mai Ran's purpose is very clear, he was ordered to protect Yuan Jing, and the life and death of others in Yuan Mansion has nothing to do with him.

"The Princess' life is my life!" Yuan Jing's voice turned cold.

Mai Ran paused, and then left here with a flash of figure.

There are not many family members in Yuan Mansion, and Yuan Lu's family has been kept in a side courtyard by Yuan Ye, while Gong Liang and Pingyao have been quietly placed in other courtyards outside Yuan Mansion.Xiuwei Garden is in the depths of the original mansion, if King Qi's soldiers want to enter, they must pass the outer barrier first.That's why Mai Ran left with peace of mind, staying on the only way to Xiuweiyuan.

Yuan Ye thought that there would be a fight no matter what, but he didn't expect that all the servants in the mansion were hiding their secrets. Thirty people faced the well-trained more than a hundred soldiers without any difficulty!In just half an hour, King Qi's soldiers were killed and wounded.

Yuan Ye took a meaningful look at Nan Lian who didn't change his face, and knew that after he handed over most of the affairs of the inner house to Nan Lian, she secretly replaced many servants of Yuan Mansion.But I didn't expect that the people she replaced were so skillful, but, where did these people come from?

Yuan Ye suddenly thought of "Lingyan", but felt wrong again: Aren't "Lingyan" all women?

When the rebels in the original mansion were killed, the curtain gradually came to an end on King Qi's side.

The death of King Qi, everyone only said that it was because of the night, so it cannot be ruled out that someone killed King Qi by mistake.But some people said that it was done by someone sent by King Liang, and that King Liang's murder of Prince Min was also revealed by the King Qi's party.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves, and after a wave is not calm, another wave rises again.The courtiers were shocked by the successive news and did not know how to react.

No matter what the King Qi Party said is true or false, King Liang seems to be inseparable from it, but because of dealing with the King Qi Party, it involves a lot, if the King Liang Party is involved, the court will probably be half empty .

Therefore, the emperor only ordered Yuan Ye to investigate Qi Wang's henchmen, while Liang Wang's murder of Prince Min was suppressed for the time being.

Not long after, the emperor called King Zhao and Yuan Ye into the palace, and King Liang knew that something was wrong.

Liu Xiao, the chief eunuch, read out the emperor's "Book of Zhao Wang as the Crown Prince" in front of the dragon couch: "...the sixth son of the emperor, Zhao Wang Yin, is loyal, respectful and respectful, proclaims kindness and harmony, benevolence and filial piety come from nature, and faith is prepared from Chengde. I order you to be the crown prince..." The book of hundreds of words first talked about how he was on the throne, then said that the vacancy of the crown prince caused the princes to fight and endangered the country and society, and finally said how King Zhao made his decision according to his will The king of Zhao was established as the crown prince.

Zhao Wang received the crown prince's seal and book in fear, and Liu Xiao read Fu Yuanye's title of grand master of the crown prince, ordering him to assist the crown prince well.

Zhao Wangdang did not expect happiness to come so quickly, while Liang Wangdang struggled for a while, and jumped out to point out "Li Chang".However, the emperor, who had been dissatisfied with King Liang for a long time, also found an opportunity to abolish Princess Liang, and reprimanded King Liang for his wolfish ambitions. At the same time, he asked Yuan Ye to send someone to investigate the death of the crown prince.

The case of Prince Min's death has been pending. Everyone thought it was King Qi's fault, but they didn't expect such a reversal!However, King Liang had already destroyed the evidence, and only King Qi said it was unfounded.Liang Wang was only worried about whether there were other clues missing, and he was eager to be a man with his tail between his legs, so naturally he didn't dare to let his officials attack Zhao Wang again.

The three kings have been fighting for many years, and the position of the crown prince has finally come to an end, and judging from the emperor's situation, there will be no more suspense about the crown prince.

The author has something to say: the result still mentions the mental journey of King Tiqi...
