Rebel

The wound on Yong Chi's face has been treated and the bleeding has stopped. This scar is very long, like a blood-congested reptile, winding and entrenched on his originally beautiful face.

He did not return to Yongfu that night, but brought people into the palace himself.On the dragon bed in front of him, sat the young emperor with his head bowed shyly.He was awakened from his sleep, and the servant next to him was carried out by Huben even under the quilt, and when he regained consciousness, he had already been pulled up by Yong Chi.

"Aiqing...Aiqing...you...what are you doing?" The emperor looked at Yongchi in horror.

Yong Chi's eyes wandered, looking like a snake staring at its prey in the dark night.The emperor felt that he was locked by Yong Chi's eyes and could not move.

Yong Chi raised his hand suddenly, and the emperor was slapped across the face, and fell on his back on the bed.He covered his face and shouted: "Aiqing, you...why did you hit me?"

Yong Chi threw down a vaguely written imperial edict expressionlessly, and the emperor quickly picked it up, and after looking down, his expression changed, and he raised his head and said, "Aiqing, Aiqing! This...is not written by me. Yes! I...how could I...how could...Aiqing is the pillar of the country...how...how could I order you to be killed? What's more...you are still my uncle. I wouldn't even do that. Aiqing!"

Yong Chi looked at the person lying on the couch, and said, "Then why did General Cheqi, Captain Changshui, Yilang, Yushi Qiuxin, Imperial Physician and Taishi all receive this edict?"

"I... I don't know."

"So, these people forged the emperor's decree and conspired to rebel?"

The emperor took a deep breath, raised his head and said to Yong Chi: "Aiqing, I think... this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated... no... don't wrong a good man. Aiqing, you just said... that you are a general of chariots , Captain Changshui, Yilang, Yushi Qiuxin, imperial physician and Taishi...all...have received this edict, they...are all important ministers of the country...I see...they are not very good at it. Will forge the imperial edict, there must be...someone must be sowing discord, planting blame...There must be a misunderstanding...a misunderstanding..."

Yong Chi grabbed the little emperor by the collar and dragged him off the bed.

"Ai...Ai Qing...you...what are you going to do?"

Yong Chi pressed him onto a table next to him, only to hear a bang, and a brush was slapped in front of him. Soon, the brocade silk and the big seal were brought over, and Yong Chi pointed The empty document prepared on the case table said: "Since the emperor said that the imperial edict was not written by the emperor, then the emperor will issue an edict to arrest General Cheqi, Captain Changshui, Yilang and Yushi Qiuxin. , Imperial Physician, Taishi, to prove innocence, how about it?"

"This...this...things haven't been clarified yet...Ai Qing...can...can you take it easy...tomorrow, wait...wait until dawn...to discuss again?"

Yong Chi sneered: "If the emperor writes, the minister will also arrest them. If the emperor does not write, the minister will still arrest them. Look at me, since the emperor still calls the minister uncle, why not issue an order according to the minister's wishes. "

"I……"

"Write!"

When writing the imperial edict, the emperor's tears fell drop by drop, falling on the imperial edict, and wet the handwriting.He knew that once this decree was issued, even his last wings would be cut off by Yongchi. After that, he was just a prey waiting to be slaughtered, imprisoned forever by the courtier named the regent in the palace named emperor. in the cage.

Written and written... His pen stopped, and suddenly he raised his head and said, "Since I am the emperor, I want to discuss this matter tomorrow, okay?"

Yong Chi looked at the person in the imperial robe in front of him, he waved his hand, and Huben dragged in a woman from outside the door, with black hair and shawls, she was the imperial concubine who was carried out just now, with a gleaming handle on her neck With a sharp blade, Yong Chi said: "If you don't write it, I will kill her."

The emperor gritted his teeth: "You...you deceive people too much."

"Drag it out and kill it." Yong Chi ordered.

"Your majesty... Your majesty..." Aifei's call and tears pierced the young emperor's heart like a sharp knife.

The emperor grabbed Yong Chi's front: "... let go... let her go. I write... I... I will write..."

Yong Chi looked at the begging person in front of him indifferently, he raised his chin slightly, signaled Huben to let go of the concubine, and nodded to the emperor: "Then you can write."

The last few words on the imperial edict were written with difficulty by the little emperor with trembling arms, and the handwriting looked a little fuzzy and distorted.At the moment when the big seal was finally pressed, the emperor slid off the desk and sat on the ground as if he was paralyzed.Yong Chi glanced at the imperial decree, immediately folded it up and put it in his chest, and then strode out of the emperor's bedroom.

When she walked to the door, she saw that the queen mother had brought her eunuchs and maids, and was being held in front of the door by several tigers. As soon as she saw Yongchi stepping out of the bedroom, she shouted: "Regent, you...you are late at night. Entering the palace, why?"

Yong Chi smiled, and pointed to the scars on his face: "Your son wanted to kill me, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. I don't even think about how he got into this position, he was overconfident."

Speaking of which, Yongchi turned around and went to Wuzhen, leading the people all the way out of the palace: "Let's go! Capture the traitor!"

"Yes!"

General Cheqi, Captain Changshui, Yilang and others, Censor Qiuxin, Imperial Physician Taishi were captured in the middle of the night, and when the news that the nine clans were implicated spread to the North, Gu Ao was discussing military affairs with Yu Junfan, Chen Jiang and others matter.

Gu Ao read the secret report first, and then handed the secret report to Yu Junfan, who sighed: "...It seems that this dynasty is about to run out."

After finishing speaking, Yu Junfan passed the secret report to Chen Jiang, and Chen Jiang raised his head and said, "This emperor is also too lacking in ambition, and this matter was suppressed by Yong Chi like this? The emperor has been on the throne for so long, and he was not so low at the beginning. , how come after a few years, he was manipulated by Yong Chi in the palm of his hand, just like that!"

Yu Junfan said: "It's just a naive child who grew up in a wealthy town. After all these years, how can he be as good as the Regent King who has the ambition of Kyushu since he was a child? He is also pitiful... That's why I said, this I'm afraid I'm going to run out of gas toward this."

"Why, Yong Chi already has the idea of ​​fulfilling his position?" Gu Ao asked, "Is there any basis?"

Chen Jiangdao: "In recent years, Yongchi has led the army to attack the north several times, and there are people from the court who are behind him, so he returns without success. Every time he returns to the court, he will use the war to clear up dissidents, and so on. In the meantime, he has long been an arbitrary leader of the court, and no one in the court can compete with him anymore. The noble children who did not get along with him either came to the north to fight against the army, or went to the river to avoid disaster. Now they are out of their clothes Regarding the matter of the edict, it is reasonable for him to wash the court again, and it seems that he may not have the intention of practicing his position."

Yu Junfan smiled slightly: "The Prime Minister only knows one thing, but not the other. If Yong Chi had no intention of fulfilling his position, why was he so cruel this time and didn't leave any room for the emperor's face?"

Gu Ao leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes: "Look again...wait a little longer."
