bastard returns

"I think all my colleagues here know that Prince Yongyi has been arrested by His Majesty because of his vain attempt to murder the Empress Dowager. Seeing His Majesty's close-fitting gold medal, he sneaked into the military department majestically to ask Lord Luo for supplies, and finally delivered the goods to the Zhou people in the post. Does this prove that rebels like Yongyi have long been related to Zhou people? Collusion?" Li Dewu said loudly.

No one refuted him, because many officials knew that Prince Yongyi, that is, Huyan Yuanchen, was sent to Dazhou in the name of proton when he was young because he was not loved by the empress Gaozu, and he was there For many years, it was not until Empress Gaozu passed away and the first emperor ascended the throne that he returned to the court to become the king. However, the first emperor was also unlucky, and he passed away not long after he took the throne, so the Empress Dowager Xia found another reason to re-appoint Huyan Yuanchen. Go to Dazhou as an envoy, so as not to stay in the court and mess up the government in his capacity.

Calculated in this way, Prince Yongyi spent so much time in the Great Zhou and was squeezed out by the Empress Dowager Xia, then he will be closer to the people of Zhou, and even colluding is not out of the question, not to mention that Prince Yongyi is wanted now Willing, or the attempt to murder the Queen Mother.

"General Li, don't you think Lord Luo's remarks are too ridiculous?" The Empress Dowager Xia showed a disbelieving expression: "As we all know, Prince Yongyi was arrested by the emperor for the crime of treason. I have long been waiting for crimes to flee, and I don’t know where I am. How can I be in the capital, enter and exit the military department wantonly, and still hold His Majesty’s gold medal? Do you mean that Your Majesty will risk his reputation as a rebel and give his gold medal to a traitor? Thief? It seems that, as His Majesty said, this matter is completely nonsense, it’s all this Luo Cheng’s nonsense, come here, let this Luo Cheng be dragged out of the palace for the Ai Family, and be killed with a stick!”

"No! Empress Dowager, what I'm telling you is the truth! I have evidence! I have evidence!" Hearing that the Empress Dowager ordered him to be executed, Luo Chengxia's face turned pale, and he shouted, "Actually, I will never die!" Prince Yi didn't leave the capital at all, he didn't even leave the palace, he is in this palace right now!"

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Ning Yuan was originally looking at the singing and singing of the people in front of him with an attitude of watching a play, but when he heard Luo Cheng's words, he couldn't help straightening his face, and quickly looked in the direction of Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia also frowned slightly, his eyes were dark, he didn't know what he was thinking, Ning Yuan's eyes fell on the armored warrior standing upright behind Emperor Xia, that was Hu Yanyuan who had been disguised as a close guard by Emperor Xia's side all the time Chen.

It's just that the opponent's face is completely hidden behind the visor, and no expression can be seen at all.

The corner of Li Dewu's mouth twitched into a faint smile. He had said so much nonsense before as a foreshadowing, in order to shake out this news that was enough to surprise all the officials at this moment.

At the same time, he also admired the calm temperament of the Empress Dowager Xia, who clearly knew the secret that the Emperor Xia kept hidden around her, but could never reveal it.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Xia not only knew about Huyan Yuanchen disguised as a bodyguard hiding beside Emperor Xia, but she had known about it for a long time, but she never revealed it. She kept this opportunity, while letting Xia Di and Huyan Yuanchen relax their vigilance, it was equivalent to having an extra hole card in her hand to restrain the other party. When the time is right, she will expose it in one fell swoop, and maybe she will receive better. Effect.

As for the current situation in the hall, for the Empress Dowager Xia, it couldn't be a better time.

What Luo Cheng, the servant of the Ministry of War said before, was completely false. It was just fabricated by Li Dewu and Empress Dowager Xia under the drive of profit after being bribed.The Empress Dowager Xia didn't know whether the Xia Jun equipment on Zhou Jun was really related to Emperor Xia, but this did not hinder her plan. Anyway, anything in this world can be forged, no matter how the Xia Jun equipment in the Zhou people's hands came from. Yes, anyway, just push all the brains on Emperor Xia.

As for the evidence, it is even simpler, and there is no need for any actual evidence. Just pull out Huyan Yuanchen, and then dismantle the bodyguard he disguised in front of civil and military officials. At that time, Emperor Xia will be the king of a country. However, hiding the guy who murdered the queen mother and was convicted as a sinner by his side, isn't it just a proof of what Luo Cheng said that "Prince Yongyi took the emperor's gold medal to the military department to call for supplies" is very possible.

And the Empress Dowager Xia, of course, can also take this opportunity to contact the ministers who support her in the court, use the name of the king's incompetence and immorality, to drag Emperor Xia down from the horse, and then support a down-and-out son of the Huyan clan to ascend the throne, and use this time Start to cleanse Emperor Xia's power in the court. When there is no voice in the court that can oppose her, she can abolish the puppet in a grand manner, and then ascend the throne by herself, changing from the mother of the world to the king of the world, and become a generation of empress.

"The thief is still in the palace?" Hearing Luo Cheng's words, the Empress Dowager Xia deliberately showed a shocked expression, and said to Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, if this is true, the palace must be sealed immediately, and then the inner guards will Thoroughly investigate in the palace, Yongyi once murdered Aijia, if he stays in the palace, not only Aijia will be in danger, but even His Majesty will be endangered!"

"Don't be impatient, queen mother, don't you think this is too ridiculous?" Facing the flustered face of Queen Mother Xia, Emperor Xia said slowly: "Prince Yongyi has already been arrested by my decree, how could he still stay in the palace?" Inside, Luo Cheng has been talking nonsense since just now, does the Queen Mother believe it?"

"What I said is true!" Luo Cheng also yelled: "Not only do I know that Prince Yongyi is hiding in the palace now, but I also know that he has been disguised as the emperor's personal bodyguard, and has been staying under the emperor's nose all the time. !"

The officials in the palace were still in an uproar before, but now that they heard Luo Cheng's words, they immediately began to discuss. Some of them were smart, and unconsciously turned their eyes to the armored warrior standing behind Emperor Xia, vaguely feeling that the guard looked at him from the figure It is indeed possible to match up with Prince Yongyi.

"On that day, Prince Yongyi came to find the lower officials to mobilize armaments. At first, he did not use his true colors, but claimed to be the emperor's personal bodyguard. In addition, he was holding the emperor's gold medal, so the lower officials did not suspect him. But later, there seemed to be something wrong with his mask, and it cracked for some reason, so I could see his face clearly..." While speaking, Luo Cheng raised his face tremblingly, and suddenly, as if he had just discovered something, he pointed Looking at the warrior behind Emperor Xia, he shouted: "That's right, it's him! It's that guard, and that guard is disguised by Prince Yongyi!"

As soon as Luo Cheng's voice fell, the Empress Dowager Xia immediately exclaimed as if she was frightened, and Li Dewu suddenly pulled out a short sword from nowhere, stepped forward to protect the Empress Dowager Xia behind her, and then stared at her Looking at Emperor Xia and the warrior behind him.

"Your Majesty, as the king of a country, did you really do something to cover up the criminals!" Li Dewu said to Emperor Xia with a gloomy face: "Prince Yongyi is the rebellious party who murdered the queen mother. By my side, where is the empress dowager, where is your filial piety!?"

At the same time, not only Li Dewu, but also several generals also stood up at the same time as if they had made an agreement, and they all said something, most of them were "Your Majesty did such an immoral thing, I am really disappointed" "Since Prince Yongyi is here, It must be true what Master Luo said." "Your Majesty not only shielded the rebellious ministers, but also colluded with the Zhou people to harm our army, which is simply unimaginable."

As for those civil servants, they were also a little dazed by the sudden scene in front of them, and they all looked at the warrior who was accused of being "Prince Yongyi" suspiciously. After a while, they finally saw an old official saying to Li Wude: "General Li, you didn't even see the appearance of the guard. How can you conclude that that man is Prince Yongyi? Also, according to the law, swords are not allowed to be brought into the palace. General Li holds a sword. Come here, and now you are so startled, could it be that you have some unruly intentions?"

Faced with such accusations, Li Wude was completely unmoved. He seemed to be very sure that the guard must be the traitor Prince Yongyi, and he also understood that as soon as his sword was unsheathed, it meant that there was no way to get better today, anyway. The Empress Dowager Xia was well-prepared, as long as he performed well as arranged by the Empress Dowager, once the Empress Dowager gained power, there would naturally be a lot of opportunities for promotion and fortune waiting for him.

"You say I'm protecting criminals?" Hearing Li Dewu and his party accuse him like this, Emperor Xia not only didn't show an angry expression, but laughed instead.

Emperor Xia's reaction stunned Li Dewu, who was supposed to be confident, and even the Empress Dowager Xia, who had been sitting still, frowned slightly, thinking, "Is it possible..." Zhibai, since someone said you are forever Prince Yi, you can take off your visor." Emperor Xia picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said these words at the same time.

And as his voice fell, the warrior behind him actually raised his hand and began to untie the visor on his head. helmet.

He has a square face with a straight nose, and under the visor is a thick and solemn face. Although it can be called upright, it is far from Hu Yanyuanchen's handsome face.

"It's impossible!" Seeing the guard's face, Luo Cheng was the first to scream, and at the same time looked at Li Dewu in panic, Li Dewu was also surprised, as if he couldn't believe his eyes at all.

Obviously there should be no mistakes, there should be no mistakes in the information, that person is obviously Huyan Yuanchen... Could it be that the other party also noticed their purpose in advance and made a move?

It's good now, originally they wanted to use the matter of Prince Yongyi to sing a big show, but now that this person is gone, how should the following lines be sung?

A drop of cold sweat ran down Li Dewu's forehead.
