Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories
Chapter 88 The Maverick Traveler (88)
[Same as yesterday, still two in one]
Before Helan Yun could say anything, his lackeys in the court started pointing at Jiang Xu's nose and scolding him.
"How dare you be disrespectful to His Majesty during the coronation ceremony? His Majesty is merciful by not ordering your immediate execution, you sinning husband. Why don't you leave immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall man in black beside Jiang Xu shot a cold look at the civil official.
If you look closely, you will find that his hand holding the long sword has tightened a little, and the originally silent aura around him is gradually filled with murderous intent.
Like a weapon with a sharp blade, it stood beside Jiang Xu.
"How can you be called His Majesty if the etiquette is not yet completed? Helan Yun is anxious, are you, a lackey, more anxious than him?" Jiang Xu mocked mercilessly with a smile on his face.
The civil servant was so embarrassed that his face turned red, but he could only say two words: "How outrageous!"
Helan Yun narrowed his eyes. He thought Jiang Xu had learned to act good, but he didn't expect that he was still the cat that would scratch people with its claws.
This is what he looked like when he was really protecting someone.
Zhong Shengchang glanced up, his thoughts racing. Although Zhong Chaoci, the rebellious son, had left home, he had the ability to rely on the crown prince. Now that he was about to ascend the throne, he had to curry favor with the crown prince.
"Prince Dingbei is plotting rebellion. Are you coming here to fall into a trap or to assassinate His Majesty?!"
Jiang Xu glanced at him, ignored him, and said loudly:
"I don't have any evidence that Helan Jue was plotting treason, but I have evidence that you, Helan Yun, colluded with the Turks to seize the throne and murdered the emperor.
"what?"
"Colluding with the Turks?"
"To murder the emperor?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with discussions, some in shock and some in doubt.
Some people also had the answer in their hearts. When they combined the fact that the Southern Emperor suddenly fell seriously ill a few days ago and that the Crown Prince and the Queen controlled the former dynasty and the harem respectively, they realized that what Jiang Xu said was true.
But right now, the political situation is completely controlled by the Donggong mother and son.
Jiang Xu went alone...
His eyes swept towards the tall man next to him. Well, even if he wasn't alone, how could he have a chance of winning by breaking into the palace and provoking him head-on?
"Don't listen to his nonsense! The border sentry reported that the King of Dingbei was rebelling. How could it be false? The sentries along the way outside the northern border have also received news that the Yanbei army is heading towards the capital. What is your intention in spouting such nonsense?!"
"What you see now is just what Helan Yun wants you to see."
Jiang Xu had a blank expression on his face, but the aura around him changed as he spoke, making people feel as if they could see the shadow of Helan Jue.
But soon, they discovered that Jiang Xu was not like Helan Jue. He was originally so calm and steady, but he just covered his face with a layer of rebellious shell, so it was not easy to be noticed.
"Jiang Xu, considering our past friendship, the Prince of Dingbei's rebellion has nothing to do with you. If you leave now, I will not make things difficult for you, nor will I implicate the Duke's Mansion."
These were not just polite remarks. Helan Yun really had no intention of taking action against Jiang Xu at the moment. He couldn't explain why, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought that Jiang Xu's heart was with Helan Jue.
"Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. Why don't you leave immediately?!" Zhong Shengchang immediately raised his voice in agreement.
"Benevolent?" Jiang Xu smiled. "This is really the funniest joke I have heard today. In the battle in the northern border, Helan Yun's hands were not clean. He knew that Helan Cheng was going to attack Helan Jue on the battlefield. If he was kind, he would stop him instead of letting Helan Cheng do the killing and adding the deadly poison."
"In the case of Helan Cheng, among the letters handed over from Wei Zheng, the one written by a woman, do you not know about it, or have you all forgotten it?"
"you……"
When Su Hui heard the name Wei Zheng, his eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Jiang Xu, who did not look nervous, and thought about what he had just said and what had happened before, unraveling it in his mind.
"enough!"
A female voice came from outside the palace. Queen Su, dressed in a phoenix robe, walked up to the platform step by step. When she passed by Jiang Xu, her beautiful eyes were cold.
"What day is today? Are you going to let him mess around at the coronation ceremony?"
Queen Su glared at Helan Yun. She knew what her son was thinking. Was this the time to reminisce about the old times?
"If someone hadn't reported it to me, I wouldn't have known that such a ridiculous thing happened at the coronation ceremony. The Prince of Dingbei was plotting treason. As the Princess of Dingbei, Jiang Xu would have to defend her husband. How can I believe it?"
"Where is the Imperial Guard? Capture him and put him in jail!"
The imperial guards in the palace looked at each other, not daring to move for a moment. In fact, they didn't really believe that Helan Jue was plotting a rebellion.
In the past, when Helan Jue was still the commander-in-chief of the Northern Yan army, many of their royal guards were selected from Helan Jue's men, and they all submitted to this northern god of war.
People in the military don't have as many twists and turns as those in officialdom. Most of them rely on their real kung fu to fight their way up.
Since Helan Jue retired, the atmosphere in the army has also changed.
"What are you all standing there for?! Is this Queen just a decoration? The previous Emperor passed away, and the new Emperor ascended the throne. If he can't even give orders to you Imperial Guards, then why do I keep you around?!"
But in the final analysis, they are just people who follow orders.
They will listen to whoever is in power.
Without Commander Leng, they have no idea what to do.
Queen Su shouted at them, and the imperial guards set off towards Jiang Xu.
Huo Ying held the knife and walked forward silently, blocking all the imperial guards who were approaching.
Jiang Xu turned around and looked at the threshold, lifted his clothes and sat on it, "Let me tell you a story."
This move was extremely arrogant, and Empress Su and a group of officials all widened their eyes.
Huo Ying handled the attack of the Imperial Guards with ease. His martial arts skills were so fast that it was dazzling, and Jiang Xu, who was protected behind him, looked particularly calm and composed.
Queen Su had never seen such a person who did not follow the rules in her life. She was so angry that her steps and branches were shaking. "How dare you! Jiang Xu, you are too daredevil!"
"Where are the Imperial Guards? Capture them for me!"
"Let's see who dares to touch my son!"
A female voice with a higher pitch than Empress Su's came from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, gradually walking up the steps and entering everyone's sight.
The woman was wearing a dark green robe, with a simple bun on her head, and holding a long sword that was shining with a cold light in her hand. Looking down, she was actually pregnant!
Who else could it be but Princess Pingyang who is so valiant and heroic?
Princess Pingyang was accompanied by an elegant middle-aged man with a worried look on his face, who carefully protected her. "Wan'er, be careful..."
Rong Luowan glanced at him, "My child, Rong Luowan, is not that fragile! Even if she is in my belly, she will protect her brother with me!"
After that, she looked at Jiang Xu in the palace gate through the imperial guards and said loudly: "Ah Xu! Don't worry and do it boldly, your parents will back you up! If all else fails, your mother still has two gold medals bestowed by the late emperor. I don't think anyone dares to touch you!"
Rong Luowan's gaze swept across everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony one by one, finally landing on Empress Su. She raised her chin slightly, refusing to give in.
Jiang Zhili waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Duke's Mansion came forward to fight against the imperial guards.
Amid the noise of swords and spears clashing, Jiang Xu glanced at Princess Pingyang, who was pulled aside by Jiang Zhili and was very dissatisfied. He then glanced at Huo Ying, who was standing alone against ten thousand enemies, and spoke slowly:
"A few years ago, on the battlefield in the northern border, Wei Ting wanted to rise to power, so he colluded with Helan Jue's deputy general, promising him wealth and glory, and asked him to shoot arrows on the battlefield. This was discovered by Helan Yun's party's spies in the army, and the news was reported to the Queen."
"The Empress was afraid of Helan Jue's military achievements, and even more afraid of his royal status, so she ordered people to take advantage of the situation and add a piece to the plot to murder Helan Jue."
"Originally, the Queen also wanted to support someone from the Crown Prince's party to become the commander of the army, but Wei Ting had the upper hand over you, so you didn't dare to interfere too much. Fortunately, the situation was able to remain balanced for the time being, and we have been able to live in peace for these years."
"Over the years, the Queen and Concubine Zhao have been in the palace, and the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have been fighting openly and secretly in the court. The situation has become increasingly tense, especially after the Lingnan case was exposed. You noticed that the Fourth Prince was making some moves, so you wanted to seize the opportunity of the spring hunt."
"The assassination attempt during the Spring Hunt was not carried out by the Fourth Prince, but was carried out by the Crown Prince. No matter which side succeeds in the assassination, you will all blame the other side."
"The fourth prince lost, the Wei family father and son..."
Jiang Xu paused, glanced at Su Hui who was unusually silent in the crowd, and continued:
"The Wei family was removed from the court, and the situation was completely in your favor. However, you found that Helan Jue had miraculously improved. You were afraid that Helan Jue would regain his former glory, and you were also afraid that Helan Jue would investigate what happened back then."
"So, you and your son, one of you poisoned His Majesty in the palace, and the other colluded with the Turks outside, letting them provoke a war in the northern border. Your purpose was to lure Helan Jue to the northern border. Let me guess what kind of agreement you reached with the Turks."
"After Helan Jue 'dies' in the northern border, promise a city to the Turks? Or two?"
"But what good will it end if you try to get the skin of a tiger? The Turks are ambitious and ruthless. Can a city satisfy their greed?"
"Helan Yun, in your eyes, power is more important than the lives of the people in a city?!"
"You are not even remotely worthy of this throne!"
Jiang Xu's every word was thunderous in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, shocking all the court officials. If this was true, how could a monarch of a country be a wise ruler if he could even hand over the people to the enemy?
"Jiang Xu, the Prince of Dingbei is plotting treason. What's the point of making up such a big lie to help him get away with it?"
Helan Yun remained calm and sighed softly, "If you insist on doing this, I can't show any mercy."
"Jiang Zhili and his wife, and their son Jiang Xu, disrupted the coronation ceremony, and deceived the people with lies. Cai Wu! Capture them all and put them in the prison!"
Cai Wu was promoted by Helan Yun after Wei Zheng was given poisoned wine, and he took over as the new commander of the imperial guards.
This amount of time was enough for Cai Wu to rush to the Hall of Supreme Harmony from outside the palace gate with a large number of imperial guards.
"Helan Yun, are you feeling guilty?"
"Are you, the court officials, just going to watch such a ruthless and rebellious person ascend to the throne?!"
"Is this the wise ruler you want?"
Jiang Xu woke up many court officials, and there was chaos inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Imperial Guards didn't know what to do. The Imperial Guards were now under the command of Cai Wu and could only obey his orders. Even many of the Imperial Guards who arrived had no idea what was going on. They only heard that the rebel Helan Jue's princess had caused a scene at the coronation ceremony, and that they were here to perform their duties as Imperial Guards and guard the imperial city.
Queen Su was furious. She pointed her armored hand at the chaotic situation below and ordered hysterically: "Kill them! Kill these traitors!"
Seeing this, Chunchen understood more clearly that what Jiang Xu said was the truth. Even though he was powerless, he still fought hard with the imperial guards.
Until the sound of horse hooves gradually came from the square outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"call out--"
The long arrow broke through the air and took the life of Cai Wu, the current commander of the imperial guards.
Cai Wu was shot in the throat with an arrow. His eyes widened. He didn't even have the strength to turn around to see who was the one who took his life. He fell to the ground with a bang in his armor, revealing the man who dismounted from his horse in the square and ran towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Su Huai seemed to sense something, looked up, and his vision gradually became blurred.
"Imperial Guards, listen to my orders!"
"Royal Guards, listen to my orders!"
The man's deep and powerful voice reached the Hall of Supreme Harmony, "The Queen and the Crown Prince are plotting treason. If anyone obeys their orders again, Cai Wu will end up like this!"
"It's Lord Wei!"
"Commander Wei is not dead!"
"Great! Commander Wei is not dead! Stop it!"
"Commander Leng is back too!"
Wei Zheng's ability to become the commander of the imperial guards was not entirely due to Wei Ting. The fact that he could lead 10,000 imperial guards in the imperial city must have been convincing.
The same is true for Leng Changlin.
When the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards saw them, they suddenly felt more confident and stopped their attacks.
No one died, only some were injured.
Queen Su's eyes widened, and Helan Yun was no longer as calm and composed as he was at the beginning, and his expression changed.
A person who should have been dead, a person who should have been with Helan Jue in the northern border, actually appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the same time, and happened to be at his coronation ceremony.
If you think about it for a moment, you will realize that there are many things behind this that they don’t know.
This is a trap, or rather, it is a trap where the opponent uses his own tricks against him.
Helan Yun felt very familiar, just like when he caught Lao Si, and now he was following in Lao Si's footsteps.
It goes without saying who is behind this.
Helan Jue, he really underestimated his uncle. It turned out that his disability for many years was all a fake. He didn't know how much he had been won over and arranged behind the scenes.
Although Empress Su hadn't figured it out yet, she subconsciously started to confuse right and wrong, "Wei Zheng, how dare you fake your own death and collude with the rebels! Leng Changlin! The late emperor valued you so much, yet you colluded with the rebels! You are so bold!"
"You, you are extremely treasonous! The late emperor passed away, and the crown prince is the only candidate who should inherit the throne. There is also the edict written by His Majesty before his death. You are all plotting rebellion!"
Jiang Xu laughed when he heard it: "Your Majesty, you should know when to stop making up lies. His Majesty was poisoned by you. Where did you get the edict of succession? I do have an edict written by His Majesty himself. Would you like to hear it, Your Majesty?"
He Lanyun had almost figured it all out. He sneered softly and his eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Xu.
Although he didn't know where Helan Jue was, he knew who Helan Jue cared about.
He has encountered many assassination attempts over the years and has some life-saving items on him.
Helan Yun quietly raised his hand, adjusted the sleeve arrow, and pointed it in the direction of Jiang Xu.
After today's failure, the throne was already in Helan Jue's pocket, but he couldn't let him get everything.
How can there be such a good thing in this world?
