Ruthless debt

Prince Che only felt that these few words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly extinguishing the hatred all over his body. He looked at Zuo Qi dumbly, hoping to learn something from his eyes, but unexpectedly he was the same as himself, with a face full of hatred. Pure astonishment.

Zuo Jiyun had already expected that with Zuo Qi's temperament, if he could return to the country, no one would believe him.The whole family of Zuofu was arrested, and he had no intention of caring about the remaining son, but when he saw Mu Yan that day, he hurriedly tore off the corner of his clothes and wrote these four words, if he listened to these words, he could still save his life.

When the two were thinking about why Zuo Jiyun had to write these words, they suddenly heard footsteps in the courtyard, and when they looked up, they saw someone breaking into the door. Twenty or thirty people immediately surrounded them, and then someone walked in But that person was Ye Yibiao.Zuo Qi snatched the knife from the hand of the guard beside him, and after repelling several guards who came forward to obstruct him, he put the knife directly on Ye Yibiao's neck.The sword is the enemy, but because of the phrase "only believe in Ye Xiang", he has not taken action for a long time, even if he is going to kill him, he should ask why.

The blade was hanging on his neck, he should have panicked and begged for mercy, but unexpectedly Ye Yi remained calm and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Go down first, no one will come in without my order."

All the guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but Ye Yibiao sternly shouted again: "Go down quickly."

"Yes." Everyone took the order and filed out.

After everyone retreated, there were only four people left in the room. Mu Yan stepped forward and said to Zuo Qi: "Mu Yan didn't intend to harm the young master, but Mr. Zuo told me that day, he was afraid that you would not trust Ye Xiang, so I quietly sent you to the house." Ye Xiang called over, no matter what, you still need to listen to Ye Xiang's whole story, don't act rashly."

Zuo Qi didn't answer, just looked at Ye Yibiao blankly, and pressed the knife a few inches closer to his neck: "What do you have to say?"

Ye Yibiao said: "Doctor Zuo's matter is indeed the truth and the Ninth Prince's. I have nothing to say if you want to take my life, but not today. Now Your Majesty is imprisoned by the Ninth Prince, and all civil and military officials are dead. They have defected one after another, and the whole country has fallen into the hands of the rebel Qianyu. Only Qi Taiwei and I have a sincere heart, but we have more than enough heart and power. Vibrate the Chaogang, set things right, and the Qu Kingdom will be restored to the throne, and even if you don't kill me, I will have no face to live on."

Prince Che felt a little relieved when he heard that his father was not seriously ill but imprisoned, and asked, "How is father now?"

Ye Yibiao said: "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, I haven't seen His Majesty for half a month, but as far as I know, Your Majesty is safe and sound for the time being."

Zuo Qi said: "How do you want me to believe you?"

Ye Yibiao chuckled, "If my nephew doesn't believe me, who else can I trust?"

Why not?Now if they don't believe Ye Yibiao, who else can they believe, Zuo Qi hesitated for a moment, and then slowly put the knife back in his hand.

Ye Yibiao kept one thing from them, that is, the current ruler had died of illness, and the reason why the Ninth Prince Qianyu told the world that the ruler was sick was nothing more than fear of Prince Che.He had negotiated with Mu Xuanqing that the two sides should attack together, and when Qian Qi died, the other side would immediately kill the prince Che, but unexpectedly, something happened. A letter from Shuo Kingdom said that the prince Che had fled, and his existence was the result of his running away. A stumbling block to the monopoly of power, the prince Che will not die for a day, he will not feel at ease for a day, even if he seizes the throne in the future, not only will his reputation be unfair, but it will be more difficult to block the mouths of the world. Just ask those who killed brothers and usurped the throne in the past. He has to be afraid that the monarchs will end well.

As soon as Zuo Jiyun found out about the plot between Qianyu and Qu Country, he wanted to tell the lord of the matter. Unexpectedly, when Qianqi was seriously ill, he saw that the situation was no longer effective, so he came to find him. Come to Ye Yibiao to discuss with Qi Ming how to save the country.And Qian Yu had long wanted to attack the three of them, if he didn't wipe out these three national pillars, how could he let him make waves, but he never expected that he would turn against him before he even took action on the two national pillars, so Only the stubborn Zuo Jiyun remained.

How could Qianyu have expected that Zuo Jiyun was just using himself as a bait so that he could believe that Ye Yibiao and Qi Ming were sincerely loyal to him.Among the three, he is the most trusted by the ruler of the country, and Qianyu naturally wants to get rid of it quickly. Although he is a high-ranking doctor who supervises all officials, he is not as good as Qi Ming, who holds the world's soldiers and horses. Ye Yibiao, under the expediency, who can be sacrificed without sacrificing him?

Ye Yibiao explained the matter to the two of them in detail, Zuo Qi completely let go of his guard and discussed with him how to rescue the king.Not long after, Qi Ming was also called over, and when he saw Prince Che, he immediately bowed down, endured these days, and wanted to complain from the bottom of his heart, only to hear him say: "If you don't wait for Your Highness, the old minister will commit suicide Thanks to the world." The seventy-year-old minister with white hair and beard, who was once a hero of the generation who ruled the battlefield, is crying like a child at this moment.

Ye Yibiao only spoke a few careless words of comfort, he still had a lot of pain in his heart that no one could tell, so naturally he couldn't help crying, and he couldn't help crying again.After the two of them said everything they needed to say, they wiped away their tears and discussed serious matters with Prince Che and the others.

After Zuo Jiyun's death, Qianyu and him both trusted him even more, they only cared about winning over the courtiers, and had no intention of weakening their power.The imperial guards in the palace and all the soldiers and horses outside the palace were commanded by Qi Ming. They didn't dare to act rashly before because they were waiting for Prince Che. Now that he is here, they have nothing to worry about. Lead into the palace.

It is said that today, Qianyu was discussing with several courtiers in the inner hall how to capture the prince Che, when he heard a servant come to report that it was Taiwei Qiming who asked to see him.Qianyu only thought that he came just in time, so he quickly ordered his servants to bring him into the hall.

After Qi Ming entered the hall, everyone looked at him, only to see a tall and tall person with a face like a crown of jade behind him, everyone was familiar with him, but because he was wearing a blindfold and covered his left eye, they couldn't recognize this person Recognizable at a glance.After the prince Che walked a little further, someone recognized who he was, and immediately opened his eyes wide.

Qianyu naturally recognized him too, but only thought that Qi Ming was of one mind with him, so he said: "Master Qi, this king was just discussing with you how to find Prince Che, and you just brought him here. , how should I thank you now?"

Prince Che smiled when he heard the sound, and said coldly: "Uncle Nine Emperors, can the chair of this generation of kings sit comfortably?"

Qianyu came down from the hall, passed the ministers to the prince Che, and pondered for a while: "If my king remembers correctly, my nephew should still be in Shuo Kingdom at this time, and your majesty has not issued a letter to order you back. How did you come back?" After saying that, he shouted loudly towards the outside of the hall: "Come here." Dozens of imperial guards outside the hall heard the sound and immediately entered the hall, surrounding Qi Ming and Prince Che.

Qian Yu said: "This person dares to pretend to be the prince, and his crime deserves death. The king ordered you to drag him down and hack him to death..."

Everyone was about to listen to orders, when they suddenly heard Qi Ming sternly shouted, "Bold, this person is the eldest prince of the dynasty, let's see if any of you dare to touch him."

Seeing him like this, Qianyu couldn't react for a while, and only after thinking for a while did he realize that Qi Ming probably had a premeditated plan, and his intention of bringing Prince Che to the palace today could not be more obvious.Panicked, he lost his sense of control, without thinking too much, he said to the guards: "Qi Ming intends to rebel, drag him down too."

Several older members of the forbidden army have already recognized the prince Che, not to mention the acting king, even if the current king personally orders them, they have to think for a while, besides, Qi Ming is the imperial prince, so how can he say that he is the king? Just take it.At the moment, the situation is in a dilemma, and all the forbidden soldiers can only look at each other in blank dismay, not daring to step forward.

I saw Qi Ming raised his head and laughed, pointed at Qian Yu and said, "The Ninth Prince is really interesting. The old officials are tired of hearing people talking about treason. Can you have some new ideas, such as colluding with other countries to rebel? I think the Ninth Prince must have done something like this. Knows better than anyone."

Hearing this, Qian Yu immediately blushed with anger, and in order to cover up his guilty conscience, he had to say: "It's nonsense, since you have the heart to protect this person, this king will not spare you today." Then he said to all the imperial guards: "You Take the two of them soon, what are they doing with a pestle?"

The leader of the forbidden army hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, I can't take it. The eldest prince is not pretending to be someone else. Please distinguish carefully, and don't kill your highness by mistake."

Qi Ming turned his head to the kneeling person, and said to him: "Don't you understand now? It's not that the Ninth Prince doesn't understand clearly. He has long colluded with Shuo Guo to treason the country, and today he is going to kill the eldest prince. If you listen to him again, it is nothing more than helping the evildoer, if you can argue the matter, then take him, why bother trying to persuade a rebel."

There was still a stalemate here, and a group of people came from outside the hall, and the leader was Yang Huan, the commander of the imperial army.This person has always been upright, and no one can win him over.
