Suddenly there was coughing to hide laughter.The corners of Mu Tingzheng's mouth twitched, and his expression became more and more ugly: "Master Yang's style of thorns all over his body, it's no wonder that he is not liked by the Holy One. But so many of us here are all serving the Holy One, and we devote ourselves to it every day. You don’t do things to make the Holy Majesty favor you, Mr. Yang, don’t you think so? But because of this, Mr. Yang put the Holy Majesty under house arrest and recruited some charlatans to pretend to be the Emperor, which is somewhat unreasonable.”

After Zhao Shiyu heard this, he just smiled and said: "The prime minister is overthinking. The father is seriously ill and cannot continue to govern, and this palace is in the battlefield, so I can't get away. It is my palace to find someone to pretend to be the father and let Mr. Yang act as the agent of state affairs. idea."

"His Royal Highness, although the veteran is old, his mind is not confused. Mr. Yang has been the prince's teacher for several years. If Mr. Yang has not even taught His Highness the most basic court system and official powers in the past few years... "When Mu Ting was speaking, he deliberately stopped abruptly, showing an unpredictable smile.

Zhao Shiyu said: "I understand the meaning of the prime minister. Originally, the father is seriously ill, so I should be in charge of the government, but in the eyes of the prime minister, this power is already at your fingertips, but I never thought that Mr. Yang would be surprised... It is no wonder, because the prime minister I feel that Bengong should have been a dead man long ago—he was killed by a chain ring on the way to the expedition."

"...Your Highness is too worried. If His Highness is killed and dies, even if the old minister is the first to get the news, he can't explain anything. Why should His Highness avoid the important ones, and now the old minister is asking why the Holy One is lying dying in the side hall. And in this palace, why is there a 'sage'! Your Highness does not need to argue for Lord Yang, the old minister knows that these are Yang Jian's masterpieces. He is afraid that not only does he have no intention of assisting the government, but he is interested in this Zhao The world! As the prime minister of a country, the old minister has followed His Majesty for decades, and today he must clear the King's side and eliminate this evil for the Zhao family!"

Even though they already knew what Mu Tingzheng's purpose was, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.Zhao Shiyu remained expressionless: "The prime minister wants to be king, have you asked me?"

"There is neither an imperial decree nor an edict from the crown prince. I don't know how the prime minister works for the king!" Wu Lan asked loudly.

"But I have the queen's will." Mu Ting said confidently, "Come here, please come in the queen."

The word "queen" seemed to fall into the sparks in the oil, and suddenly ignited a raging fire.Wen Huan looked at Yang Jian, but saw that he was playing with the white jade cup in his hand, with a cold smile on his pale face.

He is calmer than Mu Tingzheng.Wen Huan calmed down a bit, the queen had already been brought up at this time, Feng Guanxia was in a mess, and her makeup seemed to have not been combed in the future.But she didn't seem to be held hostage, she was ecstatic for a moment when she saw the prince, then quickly calmed down, looked at Mu Ting and said: "I have something to say to Master Yang."

Mu Ting smiled knowingly and did not stop him.

"Mother's queen..." Zhao Shiyu watched Li Yuanrong walking towards Yang Jian step by step, feeling vaguely ominous in his heart, but he didn't know what he was worried about.

"Empress Empress." Yang Jian got up, but before he saluted, he was stopped by the empress abruptly.When she was not wearing makeup, she lacked the majesty of the master of the harem, but instead had the gentleness of a woman between her eyebrows and eyes.

"My lord Yang, I can't afford your great gift," the queen knelt down to Yang Jian, "Please accept my bow!"

This scene is too strange-the queen knelt down to a courtier.But Mu Tingzheng and Wu Lan, the two old officials in the officialdom, were not surprised at all.The only difference is that Mu Tingzheng's face is full of pride, while Wu Lan's face is full of pain.

Regardless of the mortal world or the heavenly court, Li Yuanrong's prostration was not something Yang Jian could bear.So he hurriedly knelt down on one knee to help, but was suddenly held tightly by the queen.

"Lord Yang, I know in my heart that you have done so much, and you have never had any second thoughts about the world of the Zhao family. You have also devoted yourself to assisting the prince. After today's affairs are over, the prince's prestige will be even greater, and his name will be justified. He will be enthroned soon. You and I The long-cherished wish for many years has been fulfilled, and there will be no other obsessions in the future."

The queen's voice was very low, only hovering in Yang Jian's ear.Outsiders only know that the queen is talking with Yang Jian, but they don't know the content.

"With your intelligence, many things are like a mirror in your heart, but there are some things you don't understand - such as a mother's heart. Everyone in the world puts their own interests first, and only a mother always puts her children first. Emperor The road is not easy, as his biological mother, I must think further than him. Don't blame me."

After she finished speaking, her right hand suddenly loosened, and something seemed to be hidden in her sleeve.Yang Jian's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly grabbed the acupuncture points on her palm, preventing her from moving: "You don't have to do this."

"..." The queen's hands trembled slightly, and a silver needle fell from her sleeve, "When I entered the palace, Mu Tingzheng was still a courtier who devoted himself to the Holy One."

Yang Jian's eyes drifted to the poisoned silver needle, and he said indifferently: "I understand, you are afraid that I will gain power in the future and become the second Mu Tingzheng, and then drive the prince to a dead end."

"That's right... With your ability, you can easily replace the present majesty, and naturally you can also make the prince disappear in the future. At that time, there will definitely be no second Yang Jian to help him subdue you."

Therefore, she had to take this opportunity to eradicate Mu Tingzheng and Yang Jian from Zhao Shiyu's side in one fell swoop.

For her, the best choice is to give Mu Tingzheng an excuse to be an upright King Qin, and classify Yang Jian as a traitor; once the two sides fight, Mu Tingzheng will undoubtedly die, and Yang Jian will not be born.

—Naturally, this is the worst way.

"The queen's calculations are very shrewd. Even if I escape by chance this time, and you commit suicide, the prince will always have doubts about me and prevent me from covering the sky with one hand in the future." Although Yang Jian was framed, he didn't seem to care. It seemed to be saying something very common, "But you don't know, what is the purpose of my coming to the capital."

Facing the surprised look in the queen's eyes, Yang Jian smiled slightly and said, "When this matter is over, I will completely disappear from the presence of the prince. Yang Jian admires your affection for the prince. But you have to know that today you framed Yang Jian It is not difficult to become a rebellious minister, but the difficult thing is how to convince the prince. If Yang Jian dies, wouldn't the prince add regret to reverse the case for Yang Jian in the future?"

After hearing this, the queen muttered for a long time, but she didn't know how to answer.She is a mother, so naturally she can't bear to cause pain for her son with her own hands.

"I was entrusted to protect the queen's safety. But I hope you can remember everything I have done for your mother and child, and you will return it to me in the future."

The queen looked at him and shook her head: "You are not entrusted by others. If you are not here, it will be good for you and me. I will definitely remember this kindness. No matter when and where you have any request , I will do my best to satisfy you."

Yang Jian said: "Madam, please get up first. Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

The queen obediently stood up with Yang Jian, stepped on the silver needle under her feet calmly, and said to Mu Ting: "Master Yang has informed the palace of the whole story. Prime Minister, it seems that King Qin's name is not justified, and the specific matters , I will talk about it in detail when I return to the palace. I am tired today, let's drive back to the palace."

Although the words were spoken, no one dared to move.After a long while, Mu Tingzheng smiled and said slowly: "Go back to the palace? Do you think I'm an ignorant child, and you use this kind of rhetoric to deceive me?" His expression became more serious, and he looked at the prince, "Today, the old man is on the verge of death , I have to post it. Now you are saying that the name of the old man Qin Wang is not right, but when you go out of this door, who will know!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Ting raised his forehand, whistles rang out, and there was a commotion outside the hall, Mu Tingzheng's private army blocked the door and raised their bows and arrows.Almost at the same time, the guards in the hall all pulled out their swords, and they were murderous for a while.

Even though Mu Tingzheng had the upper hand, they still didn't dare to take action easily.In this place, there are not only people who can see—there are countless hidden guards with high martial arts skills where they can't see. As long as they move lightly, a hidden weapon may be pierced into their throats.

"What's wrong!" Mu Ting yelled angrily, "I have raised you for so many years, not for you to put on airs here! You are surrounded inside and out, what are you afraid of! If I ascend the throne, all of you will If you are a hero, you don’t have to worry about life; if you die in battle, I will take care of your wives, children, and parents, so that they have no worries about food and clothing—Yan Chuang, what are you doing!”

Yan Chuang slowly drew out the long sword at his waist.This person who has always been silent and cold, after being away from the battlefield for many years, swung his sword again and issued a command to start the war-the enemy was the Zhao royal family.

All of a sudden, there were shouts, swords handed over, chaos inside and outside the palace, most of them were massacred by Mu Tingzheng unilaterally.

"You guys go first!" Wen Huan and Sanshou Jiao protected the prince, Yang Jian and the queen all the way, and escaped from the palace.The strange thing is that Yan Chuang never targeted them at all. Even though Mu Tingzheng ordered to kill Zhao Shiyu and Yang Jian several times, he still pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even turned a blind eye to them.

Because he clearly knows what he can and cannot do; he is calmer than Mu Tingzheng, and he has already discovered that there is one person missing here - Wen Xin.

Last night, Wen Xin got half of the soldier talisman from Ni Tianying; just now, Wen Huan gave him the other half.Therefore, Yang Jian called everyone into the palace, just to let Wen Xin move to the nearest place without anyone noticing, and come to suppress Mu Tingzheng!

Wen Xin came back soon—in the evening, together with an army of [-].

After several years of preparation, it takes only half an hour for the sword to shine.

As soon as it was dark, news came that Mu Tingzheng and Yan Chuang had been trapped in the Xianyun Palace. At that time, the army was searching for Zhao Shiyu and others, and Mu Tingzheng had already invited Yan Chuang to celebrate in the palace.

In his eyes, the imperial palace has long since fallen and become his territory; afterward, as long as he kills the prince, empress, Yang Jian, Wen Huan and others, and then returns to the palace to abolish the old emperor and establish a new emperor in the name of assisting the government, everything will be over.

It's just that he never thought that even the private use of the army had already been figured out by Yang Jian; what's more, he didn't know that if the soldier talisman fell into Yang Jian's hands, he could fight back at any time.

When the palace door opened, Mu Tingzheng was completely different from the high-spirited morning.He is indeed old, and now his face is covered with wind and frost, and he is extremely decadent.

A long sword lay horizontally on the ground.

"Don't rush to kill yourself," Yan Chuang picked up the long sword, "Hand over my family!"

"...Family? What family?" As if hearing some joke, Mu Ting suddenly laughed, "You mean your parents, wife and children?"

Yan Chuang's eyes cracked.

"You don't know how old and stubborn your parents are? I heard that you fell into my hands, and they committed suicide on the spot. Your wife, the little girl surnamed Hu, strangled her one-year-old son to death in the middle of the night. , Hanged himself. They keep saying that they don’t want to be your burden, but they don’t think that you don’t even know that they are no longer in this world.

"I ordered people to throw them into the ravine, and now there are probably no bones left... But because of them, you obediently obeyed my words and helped me rebel? You have failed their wishes , you are as miserable as I am..."

"—Stop him!!!" Wen Xin shouted suddenly.

But it was too late.

Blood splattered.Blood gushed out from the throats of the two, and the two corpses fell limply on the thick carpet in the hall one after another.

"General Yan!" Wen Huan and Wen Xin rushed forward to check, only to see the bone deep in the wound between Yan Chuang's throat, obviously there is no cure.But the suffocation didn't seem to bring him any pain, his expression was very peaceful, he only twitched a few times, and then he drove west.

"...he's gone." Zhao Shiyu looked at Yan Chuang, his pupils had dilated and enlarged, and there was a trace of white under his slightly closed eyelids.

He closed Yan Chuang's eyes with his own hands.

"It's over." Yang Jian watched all this, heaved a sigh of relief, his feet were slightly weak, "We should go back."

go back?Ni Tianying wanted to ask him if he planned to return to Jiangkou, but seeing Yang Jian's tired face, he didn't speak again.
