Broken Iron Clothes

======================

The answer was still echoing, Lu Tianrui pulled the reins and ran straight to the north city gate.Now only Zhang Ling is related to him and whose whereabouts are unknown in this city. He is eager to confirm but afraid to face it. Every bump can shake him into a trance.

The sound of hoofbeats covered the sound of the wind in his ears. When he could find the gate, the gate was slowly being blocked. He hurriedly looked to both sides, and saw that a group of forbidden troops had already caught up with the gate.

The arrow hit the blade and was bounced away. In a blink of an eye, there were scattered corpses on the ground. Zhang Ling resisted the siege of the crowd, and the bone-piercing wind outside the city blew past his ears.

He is still waiting.

Another sharp arrow struck, and when the arrow grazed his hair and fell to the bottom of the tower, he turned his avoiding face and finally saw the figure.

Lu Tianrui came and walked to the front from behind the forbidden army, holding a curved bow in his hand.Lu Tianrui looked at the man in front of him with a knife facing him, and always felt that he should ask something, but the dead man who was walking with Zhang Ling was also there.

If you catch a dead man, you have to keep him alive!A thought suddenly flashed in Lu Tianrui's mind - as long as he got rid of other people, he could save Zhang Ling.

Lu Tianrui grabbed a sharp arrow from his side, put on a bow and shot it at the dead man beside Zhang Ling.An arrow pierced through the heart and lungs, and an arrow hit the forehead, but Lu Tianrui's hands were shaking.

He couldn't concentrate, and the dense arrow in front of him blocked his sight again. At the moment when the next arrow was about to be released, the figure facing the arrow suddenly turned into Zhang Ling. Lu Tianrui hurriedly shook his hands, and the arrow that came out of the bow went straight Fly outside the city wall.

Zhang Ling was blinded by the wind, and finally dared to cast a glance to his side in comfort.Liao Suo's world was wide and wide, and he couldn't wait for Lu Tianrui to ask why, so he stepped on the city wall and jumped after the arrow.

As long as Lu Tianrui killed him with his own hands, it would be fine.

Suddenly, the sharp arrow shot straight to the heart, Zhang Ling took the arrow and fell down.

The muffled sound of the physical body hitting the ground was small and faint in the world, Lu Tianrui had already stopped in place, and the figure that had just passed by was still in front of him.

fell down...

He repeated confirmation, repeated confirmation.

The wind was still blowing, and the last dead soldier failed to resist the pursuit, and fell into the long arrows all over the ground. Some people gathered around the city wall, and the imperial guards calmly and orderly confirmed the number of dead soldiers, and listened to their instructions. The general responded dumbly.

this bow.

The people beside him had gradually withdrawn from the tower, and Lu Tianrui finally squeezed out two words in a hoarse voice, and then walked to the wall slowly, and glanced at Bloody in a hurry.He covered his eyes and couldn't make any more sound.

this bow.

This was originally a bow given to Lu Xiu.

-

The foul wind was blown away at the city gate, and could not cross the palace wall, but there was a vendetta without blood in the Yingchen Hall.

The dark guards headed by Yi Qinchen lead people into the gate of the palace. With piercing eyes, Song Bing was slowly pushed in while sitting on a four-wheeled cart. The person pushing the cart was Song Yun.

But Song Yun should have been locked in the harem at this time!

Yan Youqian's face changed completely, and he wanted to raise his head to meet the empress dowager's eyes to confirm something, only to see that the person's eyes had long since lost sight.

Liu Zhaoyu touched a waist card in his hand, and suddenly threw it down the steps, saying: "Before the city was closed, someone came all the way from Yuzhou and handed this waist card to my hand. I ask for a reward for Han's life, and the reward is to re-investigate the case of the late prince's fall into the river."

How Feng Han died, Yi Qinchen couldn't be more clear.The waist card was like evidence of someone's survival, it was right in front of everyone, he looked down at it, his expression gradually changed, and unconsciously mouthed three words.

Gu Nanxing.

The bastard Gu Nanxing.

He gritted his teeth, but he was both happy and angry.

Liu Zhaoyu didn't look at other people's expressions, but only looked at Yan Youqian, and said: "Now that the witnesses and witnesses are in place, Duke Yu wants to speak for himself, or they will speak for you."

Yan Youqian turned his head to look at Song Bing, and the two of them collided and shattered with angry eyes at this moment. Song Bing didn't say a word, but Yan Youqian knew that without Song Yun as a threat, he Will say anything.

Now it's pointless to pretend anymore, Yan Youqian let out a chuckle, and gradually relaxed his posture, looking at Song Yun.

"I made a mistake. I didn't know that women and villains are difficult to raise!" Yan Youqian chuckled a few times, then suddenly raised his face again, and said ruthlessly, "Song Yun, you will not have a good time."

Amidst the malicious stares, Song Yun moved to Song Bing's side, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, my lords, my father made a mistake back then. Jiang, and then framed and poisoned the leader of Gu together with Duke Yu, causing the disbandment of the secret guards, and the leader of Gu was wronged for nearly ten years. My father was guilty, and he was finally abandoned by the Yan family when he was obsessed with obsession. His tendons and tendons were broken. It is difficult to lift a sword, Song, as the daughter of a guilty minister, hereby pleads guilty on behalf of her father, I only ask Your Majesty to show mercy, and leave the guilty minister Song Bing alone."

Song Yun's abdomen was slightly swollen, and when he bent down and kowtowed, the lower abdomen was completely hidden under his body.

Jiang Shiqing still remembers that Song Yun once sought him out because of Song Bingzhi's matter. She was still in her boudoir at that time, but now only a few months later, the heroic spirit and agility in her body have been honed into a more powerful tranquility and calmness .

Like a mother, a mother who holds her child under her body.Jiang Shiqing thought about it distractedly, only to notice that Song Bing looked at Song Yun with downcast eyes, and his eyes were already hot.

This is his daughter, who is kowtowing innocently to others for his sins. She has changed from being so immature as a baby to a shield for him.

How could he forget that he is a father.

Song Bing closed his eyes, supported the car body with his elbows, fell forward, and knelt on the ground after his knees touched the ground.

Liu Zhaoyu's heart was touched, and he endured not to look at Yan Yixin, but his sleeves were already crumpled with his fingertips. He suppressed the last bit of wavering, and asked, "Queen Dowager and Duke Yu, do you want to plead guilty?"

Yan Yi's heart suddenly came back to his senses, he wavered in that sentence for a long time, and then looked at Liu Zhaoyu in disbelief: "Yu'er, based on this one-sided statement, you actually want to ask the queen mother?"

"It's up to now..." The table was shaken by a slap on the table, and Liu Zhaoyu's pent-up anger finally broke out.

"It's all up to now, the queen mother still wants me to say something, even if I am extremely stupid, I will not be deceived by you until now! Stop saying stupid things like 'everything is for me', if you still recognize my son, think It would not be to let me step on the flesh and blood of my brothers and feet to ascend the throne and lock myself in this palace wall. If my uncle still recognizes me as a nephew, he will never be so cruel as to hand these medicines to my mouth You can live for five or ten years with peace of mind, but what about me, I blame myself and feel guilty every day and night. In order to fulfill your ambition to control the world, my flesh and blood have been hollowed out! Buried in the ground The souls of the innocent are clamoring every night, can't you hear it at all?"

"Injustice..." There is no hope of counterattack, Yan Youqian has completely lost his courtesy, turned to Liu Zhaoye and raised his voice, "Why does Gu Qinghe say that he is innocent? He begged me to help him complete the matter because he hated the imperial court for revealing the identity of the secret guard." An act of revenge, he is the mastermind of the falling into the river case! Now that the former crown prince and Jiang Taiwei are both alive, how can there be a ghost who was murdered by me!"

Liu Zhaoye and Jiang Yu are still alive, but Gu Qinghe is an unjustly killed person, Yan Youqian still wants to make the last struggle, he is a fish who jumped on the mud and tried to use his strength to jump back into the water.

"You are lying!"

The female voice was clear and clear, everyone looked back and saw a woman carrying a woman into the hall, walked to the center and knelt down.

"Minister Ji Dong, I am looking for the kind-hearted aunt who was helped by Chief Gu to appeal for Chief Gu's grievances."

Re-entering the palace, Cigu abides by the rules and because of previous encounters, she never raises her head to face the crowd.But Zhou Fang's curious eyes kept coming here, and Ji Dong knew that she was afraid, so he said bluntly: "Aunt Ci has been poisoned and dumb, and can't speak. Next, the girl will tell the truth for her, and ensure that every sentence is true. If there is any adulteration The composition is up to His Majesty to dispose of."

Liu Zhaoyu agreed: "Don't worry, just talk."

Ji Dong said: "Aunt Ci used to be a palace attendant by Concubine Ru's side. Because she had no intention of offending others 25 years ago, she was transferred to the Palace of the Empress Dowager. The truth about Zou Shui was revealed, and he intended to poison Cigu to silence him. Fortunately, Chief Gu came to his aid and personally escorted Cigu to Qinzhou, and gave him his own salary. He will be framed by Duke You and others."

Yan Youqian retorted: "If you find a dumb woman everywhere and make up a story, isn't it considered a frame? You claim to be righteous, but what you did is upright."

Yan Youqian was still isolated and helpless in his defense, but when he heard that the people around him were attracted by other places, he turned his head and saw Jiang Yu striding forward.

"The identity of Cigu, this old man can prove it."

The writhing fish was finally nailed to the shore, Yan Youqian twitched the corners of his mouth and clenched his teeth secretly.

"Captain!"

Amidst the shock, Jiang Yu saluted.Jiang Shiqing was still looking at him.The filthy robe had never been changed, and Jiang Yu just straightened her hair and hurried into the palace impolitely, but Jiang Shiqing would not fail to see that he had been tortured.

Jiang Yu said: "The empress dowager must have heard about the concubine in the palace. If you feel that what we say is not credible, I implore the empress dowager to tell you about the past that was secretly passed on in the palace more than [-] years ago."

The past refers to the mystery of Jiang Shiqing's life experience, but because the empress dowager is involved in this past, it is difficult for anyone to know. If it is spread widely, most of the palace people involved will be killed, so no one will spread it anymore. Gradually, it becomes a secret past that is not often mentioned.

In the court, he couldn't escape being cautious in his words and deeds, Ji Dong never revealed why Cigu was poisoned and killed, because he was afraid that his words would contradict the Empress Dowager and fall into the shoes of others.Jiang Yu pushed this "unspeakable secret" to Yan Yixin's side, precisely because she was the queen mother, she dared not say it, which was equivalent to acquiescing, but as long as she said it, no matter whether it was true or not, it would be taken as the truth.

But Yan Yixin wasn't sure what the truth was, she only thought about the storms she had encountered in the narrow place of the harem for decades, but she seemed to have lived in vain in these struggles.

"Fighting openly and secretly, fratricide, concubine who seized favor, prince who died in vain, is there not enough blood and rain in the emperor's family... There is no need to fight for anything, and there is no need to grab anything. In order for my child to live like a human, what can I give? I gave it all, but now," Yan Yixin's eyes flashed with compassion and then cruelty, and finally lost his expression, "Liu Zhaoyu, you are really a good son of the Ai family."

She stood up while holding on to the handle, and gradually laughed out loud, only to fall to the ground in a stagger, just in time to see Chang Yi, her face suddenly changed, she only pulled his back collar, dragged him to the front, and slapped him.

"You traitor! You murdered my son! Why do you live?!"

Others blocked him, but Chang Yi's face was still bloodstained by his fingernails. At this time, Yan Yixin had lost his mind, and shouted at him, and finally passed out due to the excessive shouting, and was sent back to the dormitory first.

"There is no one before, and no one to come after, Liu Zhaoyu, you are really a good emperor," Yan Youqian clapped his hands and shouted alone, pointing at the high seat with his sleeves and cursed, "Convict my uncle personally, and drive my biological mother crazy , to give the throne to others, and the Yan family helped you sit on the dragon chair, but you are unfilial and unrighteous, and you will repay your kindness! You are not worthy of being an emperor, let alone being supported by the Yan family, and you will only live in endless regret for the rest of your life Go down, without the Yan family, you will be in danger on the top of the mountain. Sooner or later, the hands that keep climbing up below will drag you down, and you will fall to pieces, and you will be in pain. I want to curse you, curse Dali Jiangshan in your hands Destroyed once, the common people in the world will be let down by you, and you will never live in peace, and you will always be reviled by others, and you will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

Liu Zhaoyu got up slowly, and laughed at himself twice against Yu Yan: "What is Liu Zhaoyu, but a puppet used by the Yan family to control the imperial power. Well, if Jiangshan Sheji is just a battle between princes and generals, then no one deserves to call himself a monarch and minister, I am not worthy, but uncle, you are not worthy either."

Yan Youqian was dumb, Liu Zhaoyu was about to say something more, but the itching in his throat was unstoppable, so he had to lean on the edge of the table, bent his back and coughed violently, Jiang Yu also unconsciously covered his mouth and held back the cough.

The little eunuch was about to go to announce the imperial physician, but was stopped by Liu Zhaoyu.He gradually straightened up, his face became more sickly pale, and he only said to Xu Yixu who had been silent for a long time: "Xu Shangshu, what do you think of this round?"

Xu Yixu was not overjoyed or sad, as if he had lost his emotions, he only opened his mouth slowly: "This game is a gamble against the wind, and it is only natural to lose. Although there are successes and failures, there are also losses and gains. regret."

He slowly turned his head to look at Jiang Shiqing, and said with a smile: "But some people will regret it, so I will wait, in prison, in Huangquan, forever."

Jiang Shiqing saw hostility in those eyes, the victory or defeat between him and Xu Yixu has not yet been decided, but sooner or later there will be a result.

But no matter what, he would kill the man with his own hands.

Jiang Shiqing darkened his eyes secretly, under the seemingly bleak calmness, the killing intent was already fluctuating, and the quieter he was, the more he was ready to go.

The chaos has come to an end, and now, Liu Zhaoyu has felt exhausted, and reluctantly raised his voice to order: "Come here, after the chaos in the Ministry of Punishment is completely cleared up, take the guilty ministers Yan Youqian and Xu Yixu to the prison department and wait for interrogation. "

After the words fell, the two were escorted out of the hall, the minister was unable to recover from the surprise for a long time, and started talking secretly, but Liu Zhaoyu did not intend to announce his retreat from the hall, but turned around and walked to the front of the seat.

"Don't be impatient, gentlemen, I still have something to announce today."

There was silence in the hall, and Liu Zhaoyu stood up and said: "After today, the truth of the falling into the river should be announced to the world, and the leader of Huangu should be innocent. However, for the victories in the Northwest and Northwest borders, the rewards were decided by the Taiwei and the cabinet. I can no longer take care of the reorganization..."

Cough again.

"Dali has been in my hands for the past few years, and all that is left behind is the worry of collapse. First, there were collaborators who became officials in the court, and then there were criminal officials who made trouble. Covering up and other crimes, I am here today to abdicate to the virtuous, and elect the former prince Liu Zhaoye as the new emperor. I will choose a day to succeed me, and I only hope..."

The words startled everyone, their surprised eyes looked at each other, they were all silent because of this abdication, Liu Zhaoye looked directly at the high position, his eyes were all stunned.

Liu Zhaoyu swept across the crowd slowly, from Jiang Yu to Yuan Mucheng, and then to Jiang Shiqing, and finally his gaze finally stopped on Liu Zhaoye's face.

They haven't seen each other for a long time.

Everyone was silent because they didn't dare to speak out, and they looked at each other because of surprise. Liu Zhaoyu tremblingly supported the table, his voice weakened, his lips were completely pale, and he still insisted on finishing the sentence: "I only hope that the new emperor will revive Dali." Jiangshan, welcome prosperity and peace."

At the moment when the words fell, his eyes dimmed, Liu Zhaoyu's limbs lost strength, and the crown finally knocked against the edge of the table and fell to the ground.
