What a shame, Chief Yang, the old thief who deserves to be killed actually defected to Prince Ning!

If he had known earlier, he would have dragged this old thief from his position as chief assistant.

The eunuch took the order and went.

After a while, the eunuch returned and handed the written list to the emperor. He was careful not to say loudly,

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these are not all of them, there will be others coming later."

"Then let them kneel and wait outside the palace! I want to see how many officials can intercede for Prince Ning!"

The emperor said in a deep voice.

The emperor thought to himself, very good, this is also an opportunity to identify political parties.

After he regained his composure, he took care of these Ning Wang gang members one by one. Now let them jump around for a while!

In any case, the emperor was aroused with a rare ambition, and he suddenly returned to the time when he first ascended the throne, playing intrigues with his ministers and suppressing balance.

One wave after another, a Forbidden Army captain asked to see him, saying that he had found traces of Prince Ning near the outskirts of Beijing, and asked the emperor if he wanted to arrest him.

"Is the news certain?" The emperor suspected that this was Prince Ning's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

There is chaos here in the capital. If troops are mobilized, I am afraid the situation here cannot be suppressed.

"The news is certain. It is said that King Ning appeared in person to encourage the people and state their grievances. The people were agitated and the crowd was excited."

"How reckless! Immediately dispatch 10,000 troops and be sure to capture King Ning!"

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately furious, and he was so angry that he lost all doubt and reason.

He just wanted to catch Prince Ning and stop him from jumping around outside. After catching him, he would secretly execute him.

As long as the person dies, if he gives in a few steps and kills a few unimportant officials, I hope those ministers will not continue to make trouble.

As for the voices of students and the shouts of the common people, he is the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being, so why should he care about what these ants are shouting about?

"Yes." The captain of the Forbidden Army took the order and left.

Everyone left, but the emperor still couldn't calm down his anger and said again,

"Send someone to Cining Palace and tell them that the court is in turmoil, so that no one will collide with the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to concentrate on worshiping the Buddha."

The Emperor wants to put the Queen Mother under house arrest again, and he also intends to take the Queen Mother as a hostage as a last resort.

-

Cining Palace.

When the Queen Mother learned that the ministers were kneeling outside the Zhengde Gate, begging the Emperor to vindicate Prince Ning, she was so excited that she could not sit still.

I have finally waited for this day!

"Your Majesty, you will be able to see the prince soon." Aunt Zhou also wiped away tears excitedly, happy for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, thinking that she had already seen him before, thanks to that child Gu Xi.

After a while, Aunt Zhao walked in with a bad look on her face and said to the Queen Mother,

"Your Majesty, the Emperor sent a group of imperial troops to surround Cining Palace. Now we are only allowed to enter and not leave the palace."

Aunt Zhou's face changed when she heard this, and she said in a trembling voice, "Does the emperor want to use the life of the empress to force Prince Ning to plead guilty?"

"Ai Jia forgives him for not daring." The Queen Mother was not flustered and said confidently, "This time the Emperor will bow his head and give in."

She believed that her son would not attack if he was not fully prepared.

"Just wait, there will be results soon." The Queen Mother said with a smile,

"By the way, send the evidence you found last time about poisoning the Ai family to the emperor, and let him see how his good uncle, whom he has always trusted, placed spies in the palace and how he took the blame."

The Queen Mother actually found out that the person behind the poisoned cake incident was Xie Changfeng, but the Queen Mother suppressed the truth.

The emperor trusted Xie Changfeng immensely before, and even if he showed it, it would only make the emperor angry and reprimand Xie Changfeng.

But now, the emperor is facing pressure from all sides, and it is difficult to keep Xie Changfeng.

At this time, it is revealed that Xie Changfeng is not that loyal and reliable. It is really hard to say how much the emperor can protect his heart.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Nanny Zhou went to make arrangements and give the evidence to the leader of the Imperial Guard outside so that he could give it to the Emperor.

After the emperor read it, he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart, which made him want to vomit blood.

He had just made up his mind to keep Xie Changfeng.

But Xie Changfeng is not worthy of his complete trust at all!

The emperor angrily became a desktop cleaning master again.

Obviously, this time the emperor and the queen mother clashed, the queen mother won completely!

-

In prison.

Li Changxing received twenty lashes and squatted there in pain, not daring to move much.

Why don't you lie down, it's good for whiplash.

Because the cell is small and there are many people, you cannot lie down at all. Everyone is in the same situation, squatting on the ground or leaning on the wall.

At this time, the cell leader came in with another twenty or thirty scholars.

"Quick, go in! Don't wait! There are people coming in from behind. As for you, go in a little bit more for me. It's about to close. Take your hand back!"

After the cell leader crammed five or six people into Li Changxing's cell, he led the remaining men and continued to cram in others.

Li Changxing raised his head and looked at the people who had just been imprisoned, and then found a familiar face.

"Xu Xiucai! You, how come you were arrested too!" Li Changxing stood up despite the pain and walked towards Xu Xiucai.

"Dong Li's family is here too." Xu Xiucai was also beaten twenty times. When he saw Li Changxing, he reluctantly saluted him and said with a wry smile,

"After reading "The God of War", I was so angry that I couldn't bear it. Although I was just a scholar, I was promoted without talent and could not become an official, but I was in such a low position that I dared not forget about the country. Now, traitors are in power, good generals are trapped, and the country is in danger.

Nowadays, I always have to scream twice and do something to be worthy of the books I have read."

"That's well said!" Li Changxing raised his hand to Xu Xiucai to express his admiration.

"Li Dongjia knew selling books was dangerous but still did it. He is also an outstanding warrior." Xu Xiucai also handed over to Li Changxing.

As soon as the two exchanged business information, others also spoke up and started discussing.

"I heard that Prince Ning was hunted down on his way to the capital and was seriously injured. Now he is dying. General Xie has been trying to find him and execute him secretly."

One of the young men in brocade robes spoke, and as soon as he spoke, it was breaking news.

When Li Changxing and others heard this, their expressions changed one after another!

"Prince Ning can't die!" Others shouted.

"Yes, if King Ning dies, wouldn't everything we do now be in vain!"

"It can't be considered in vain. At least we helped Prince Ning clear his grievances!"

"What's the use of that! As it is said in "The God of War", without King Ning, who will resist the Northern Yan people! In the end, the Northern Yan people's conspiracy succeeded!"

For a time, everything was said, and the discussion was so exciting that spittle flew everywhere and couldn't stop at all.

Three cells away from Li Changxing and the others, Qi Yue is being held here!

He listened to the discussion in the cell and punched the wall in frustration.

Something big happened outside, and Prince Ning planned to vindicate himself, but he actually had to be imprisoned here without getting any news.
Chapter completed!
