The happy coffin is opened, all ghosts disperse, the princess comes from hell

Chaotian Palace.

Civil and military officials were arguing endlessly.

The prince insisted on executing Yun Houxing, Wang Sheng and others immediately.

However, Dali Temple petitioned to suspend Yun Hou's execution and re-investigate the case of Zhen Guohou's rebellion.

"Absurd! It's hard to tell whether the so-called confession is true or false. Even if it's true, so what. It's just an extra degree of Yun Hou's crime."

"The Marquis of Zhenguo was defeated in the northern border that year, resulting in the death of 100,000 soldiers. He should have died as an apology!"

"A good one has to die to apologize." Xie Shu came out in scarlet clothes and looked coldly at the Minister of Civil Affairs who was admonishing: "If Yun Houxing hadn't delayed the food and military aircraft, how could one hundred thousand loyal men die fighting on the border?"

"The Zhenguo Marquis Mansion is full of loyal people, and their loyalty has been insulted. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers in the dynasty."

"The words of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel are very serious about destroying our great Yong. They are really treacherous and sycophantic!"

The expression of the Minister of Civil Affairs suddenly changed: "Xie Shu, my son, please stop saying anything to frame me! The confession was scattered all over the city, and there was clearly something behind it. It was written in black and white. How can it be regarded as proof? This is how your Dali Temple concluded the case! "

"The words written in black and white cannot be true. What if it was written in blood by Yun Houxing himself?"

As soon as Xie Shu's voice came out, the whole court fell silent.

The prince, who was sitting in the hall and rubbing his eyebrows, also opened his eyes and looked down with an unpredictable expression.

Xie Shu took out the blood book from his arms. The prince's eyebrows skipped a beat, and the young eunuch quickly retrieved the blood book and presented it to him.

The prince only glanced at it a few times to confirm that it was indeed consistent with the contents of the confession that had been circulated in the market, and the anger in his heart increased a little more.

He looked at Xie Shu: "Xie Shaoqing, since this blood letter is in your hands, why didn't you hand it over to the court early? Those confession letters in the capital are also your fault!"

Xie Shu held his wat and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, I know that I just returned to the capital from Izumo-kan last night. This blood book was tied to an arrow and shot at me when I entered the city. When I got this blood book, there was another person beside me. Long Weijun can serve as a witness."

The prince's eyes twitched and he looked at Huo Yi, the general of Zhengxi who had been silent.

In other words, the military attachés and the entire military might know about this bloody letter.

"General Huo, are Xie Shaoqing's words true?"

Huo Yi stepped out, with no emotion on his resolute face: "It's true."

The prince's eyes were gloomy.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn for a moment.

Everyone knew in their hearts that if the Zhenguo Hou Mansion was simply wronged, the Yun family and the Mu family would basically be dead anyway.

The crux of the matter is that the former Prince of Zhenguo had a deep friendship with the former prince. The former prince was deprived of his position as crown prince and was charged with treason. One of the evidence of the crime was collusion with the Prince of Zhenguo.

Once the Zhenguo Hou Mansion reverses the case, wouldn't the next one be the case of the former prince's rebellion?

If it hadn't been for the former prince's rebellion, the East Palace self-immolation, and Xiao Chenyan being deprived of his status as the emperor's eldest grandson, how would it be possible for the prince to ascend to the throne now?

The courtiers had mixed feelings in their hearts. While they felt it was ridiculous, they also felt that this day had finally come.

King Yan has been dormant in the north for ten years. His return to the capital heralds a storm to come!

At this moment, an urgent call came from outside the palace:

"King Yan is here——"

All the ministers in the palace were startled and turned around subconsciously.

The prince almost got up from his chair.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a tall figure stepped into the hall, wearing a golden crown on his head, a jade belt on his waist, and a black court dress, which made him even more elegant.

The man walked into the palace calmly and greeted the prince in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xiao Chenyan, I would like to pay my respects to the prince."

After the ceremony, he walked straight to the row of military attachés and stood still.

The expressions of all the courtiers were different.

The prince's eyes also changed, and he subconsciously moved his butt back further until he sat firmly on the chair.

Others are sitting firmly, but they can't help but feel tense inside.

"Prince Yan is finally willing to go to court today?" The prince's voice was cold.

Xiao Chenyan's expression was as usual: "I was ill a few days ago. Thanks to the marriage granted by the prince, I am happy to have a good wife and my health is getting better."

These words were like a slap on the prince's face.

Everything started from that wedding.

Seeing that the prince's face was not good-looking, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately said: "Yun Houxing is the father of Princess Yan. He has committed many crimes, which are not exaggerated by the three Yi tribes. Princess Yan is his daughter, how can she be called a virtuous person?" "

Xiao Chenyan looked at this person: "If you can't be called 'virtuous', then why did the prince give me this marriage?"

The Minister of Civil Service's face turned red, and someone on the military attache's side even sneered.

The prince glared at the Minister of Civil Affairs and said, "Since Princess Yan has married King Yan, she naturally has nothing to do with Yun Houxing."

The minister of official affairs repeatedly said yes.

However, before he could retreat, Xiao Chenyan spoke again: "What the Minister of Civil Affairs said is true."

The Minister of Civil Affairs was shocked and felt bad.

"Had it not been for the marriage granted by His Highness the Crown Prince, Yun Houxing and I would not have become a husband-in-law. He has committed numerous crimes. Those who don't know about it would still think that the Crown Prince and I are the same as him."

"To prove the innocence of this king and the prince, I ask the prince to order an investigation to investigate Yun Houxing."

In an instant, the prince felt like he was being roasted on a pillar of fire.

The minister of official affairs turned pale and did not dare to raise his head to meet the prince's gaze.

If the prince does not conduct a thorough investigation, it will be tantamount to admitting that he and Yun Houxing are connected. All of this is caused by that gifted marriage!

When the atmosphere was tense, a white-faced father-in-law walked in.

The person who came was suddenly the prince, the emperor's personal attendant.

"Transmit His Majesty's oral instructions."

After the four words fell, all the ministers in the palace knelt down to listen to the decree. The prince also stood up from the dragon chair and knelt down to listen to the announcement.

"Yun Houxing, Wang Sheng and other traitors brought trouble to the court, took bribes and violated the law. They were pushed out of the Meridian Gate and executed late. The remaining accomplices were beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others."

"The family members and three clans were sent into exile."

"There is a huge amount of money stolen by Empress Yun from corruption. King Lingyan, in collaboration with Dali Temple, must recover it within ten days. If the stolen money is not seen after ten days, it will be dealt with according to military law."

After the oral edict was announced, all the ministers were silent with different expressions.

The prince was relieved in his heart.

The prince looked in the direction of Xiao Chenyan and said, "Your Majesty, King Yan, your Majesty has issued an edict specifically. The crime Yun Houxing committed does not involve Princess Yan. Aren't you going to accept the edict?"

The man's voice sounded faintly: "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief. After announcing the decree, he returned to serve the old emperor.

After this decree came down, the officials of the prince's line were all relieved and looked proud.

His Majesty ignores government affairs and is obsessed with immortality. Although this incident alarmed him, fortunately, His Majesty is still on the side of the prince.

Just give Yun Hou Xing a death sentence, and it would be impossible to overturn the case for Zhen Guohou Mansion.

It was even more impossible to recover the dirty money that Yun Houxing was greedy for within ten days. With such a hot potato dropped, they were waiting to see what Xiao Chenyan would do.

Even these days, the prince's dilemma of constantly raising money in order to clean himself from corruption has been solved.

As long as it lasts for ten days, are you afraid that Xiao Chenyan won't be able to eat anything?

"Since His Majesty has issued the decree, the court will be dismissed early today. King Yan, I am waiting for your kindness——"

Before the prince finished speaking, Xiao Chenyan turned and left.

In an instant, the prince's face turned the color of pig liver, and he walked away angrily.

Well, Xiao Chenyan, I am just waiting to see what kind of business you will have in ten days!

Upon seeing this, all the courtiers also retreated.

Xiao Chenyan was already resolute and walked much faster than those courtiers.

After going to court, all civil and military officials left alone or in small groups.

But when you come out of Chaotian Hall, whether you are going to go on duty or leaving the palace, you have to pass through the Yuzhao Gate.

Then, all the officials saw that His Royal Highness King Yan, who had left first, was standing in front of the Yuzhao Gate.

Shi Yuanzheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was whispering to his colleagues when he saw the official beside him turned pale and pointed forward tremblingly.

He subconsciously looked over, the smile froze on his face, and the tall man's shadow enveloped him.

Almost instantly, everyone was far away from him.

"King Yan, King Yan?" Shi Lang stammered, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Chenyan looked at the other person condescendingly with an unpredictable look: "The minister's surname is Shi? His mouth really stinks."

Shi Shilang suppressed his blush and did not dare to say a word because of Xiao Chenyan's aura.

Xie Shu walked slowly, flanked by his colleagues from Dali Temple. Seeing this, the people in Dali Temple all widened their eyes:

"Isn't King Yan gone? Why is he with Shi Lang, wait what is he going to do..."

The next moment, a clicking sound accompanied by a shrill scream echoed through the Yuzhao Gate.

Shi Lang covered his mouth and rolled on the ground, and his mandible was crushed! !

After the instigator took action, he didn't even look at him and left quietly, as if he had just crushed a grasshopper.

The officials were dumbfounded, and everyone in Dali Temple took a deep breath.

"This is the palace. He, King Yan, how dare he..."

Xie Shu looked at the man's back as he strode away, holding his hand like a cold blade, cutting through the wind and snow.

He turned his head and looked at his incredulous colleague, and asked calmly: "Why doesn't he dare?"

"He is Xiao Chenyan."

Even if he was given the word "disgusted", even if he fell from the clouds into the mud, no matter how cold the wind and snow in the north were, and how dangerous the iron horse war was, he crawled out of that living hell and started fighting.

Today, he is no longer the bereaved dog who was driven out of the capital alone. He is a vicious wolf that has sharpened its claws and chooses people to devour.

How could these silverfish in Kyoto, who were so drunken in their honey vats, be enemies with him?

The wolf has arrived, and the silverfish is about to die.
