Chapter 284 All the truth
Liu Mingwu was suddenly shot and the black-clad guard in the room was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and chased out.
But Long Si had already escaped and not even his shadow could be seen.
The emperor died of illness and left a decree of succession before his death. King Huai succeeded to the throne and was called Emperor Yuchen.
The first imperial decree issued by Emperor Yu Chen after ascending the throne was to confer the title of "King Xiao" Xiao Ying as the "Iron Hat Princess" and order her to lead the army to assist Xiao Zheng in suppressing the rebellion.
Unfortunately, the imperial edict fell on deaf ears and there was no movement in the entire northwest.
Emperor Chen had anticipated this, but he didn't care. He just wanted to be tied to Northwest openly.
In this way, Chen Qinyu will be cautious and must devote some of his energy to paying close attention to the northwest.
Yun'an Prefecture, the prefectural government office.
A man in black was kneeling in front of Chen Qinyu, who was wearing a red shirt.
"My subordinates are not doing their job well. Please be punished by the master."
The man in black lowered his head, his back already soaked with sweat.
The master who had been to the battlefield became more and more powerful.
Chen Qinyu waved her hand, "Forget it, it's not destined to be mine, I won't force it, go down."
The man in black kowtowed respectfully, bowed his head and quickly retreated.
As soon as he left, the sound of porcelain falling to the ground was heard from the room behind him.
The man in black did not dare to stop. He quickened his pace and almost flew out of the government office.
After smashing around in the house, Chen Qinyu's eyes were red, his teeth were chattering, and he said word by word, "Xiao Ying, I will kill you sooner or later!"
……
……
A carriage stopped outside the East City.
Seeing this, Pan Dajin immediately stood up and rushed forward with a big knife.
A young man jumped out of the carriage and bowed to him.
"Excuse me, my father and I have something important to discuss with the prince."
Seeing Pan Dajin staring at him unmoved, the man took out something from his arms, but it was not a purse filled with silver, but a gold medal with the word "Xiao" engraved on it.
"We are from the capital."
Pan Dajin took the gold medal and said, "Stay where you are and wait."
The young man, Li Shuangan, bowed again, "Thank you."
Li Fugui lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the towering city wall.
Looking at the three large characters "Taoyuan City" written in a flamboyant style, he lowered his eyes.
Whether it is a burial place or a retirement home depends entirely on whether Prince Xiao is merciful enough.
The weather was good today, and Pan Yingying was not lying on the kang reading novels. She was practicing boxing in the yard. She was a little surprised when she heard Honglian come to report that Pan Dajin wanted to see her for something.
After An's death, she sent people to guard the city gate. This was the first time she took the initiative to come to Xinyuan, which showed that the matter was of great importance.
"Please come in." She waved her hand, went into the room and sat down. Lumei immediately handed her warm milk tea.
Just after taking two sips, Pan Dajin came running in like a gust of wind, "Another eunuch has come to the capital! And he's holding a gold medal."
Pan Yingying put down the cup. She already knew who the visitor was. Long Si had sent back a message earlier saying that Li Fugui, the former chief eunuch who was guarding the imperial mausoleum, had left Beijing and was heading northwest.
"Bring it here."
……
……
"My servant Li Fugui."
"My servant Li Shuang'an."
"Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years."
Pan Yingying sat upright in the main seat, while Honglian and Lumei stood behind her like two generals.
"My two fathers-in-law have come from far away, is there anything I can help you with?" She did not ask them to get up, but went straight to the point.
Li Fugui was about to present the things in his arms when Li Shuang'an, who was kneeling one step behind him, suddenly trembled all over and collapsed to the ground, "Dad, Dad, there is... there is..."
Batian stuck out half of his head, looked at the man who was frightened like that, bared his teeth in boredom, and then retracted his head.
It thought it had a new friend, but it turned out to be a coward.
Tsk. Li Fugui didn't dare to move, and knelt on the ground, "My words and actions were rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Pan Yingying turned to Lumei and said, "It looks like she is frightened. Take her away with some cakes and hot tea."
Lu Mei held back her laughter and walked forward, picking the person up like a chicken, "Come with me."
Li Shuang'an was so frightened that he was shaking all over, thinking that he was going to be taken away and tortured. However, when he met his godfather's warning gaze, he could only shut his mouth with tears in his eyes.
He can't say anything! Nothing!
After the people were taken away, Li Fugui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly presented the secret decree he brought out from the palace with both hands.
Honglian stepped forward to take it, confirmed that it was not poisonous and did not contain any hidden weapons, and then respectfully handed it to Pan Yingying.
The secret decree was very brief, and could also be said to be an imperial edict of succession.
Pan Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the old eunuch kneeling in the room with twinkling eyes.
"What does this mean?" she asked calmly.
Li Fugui gritted his teeth, knowing that the test of his life was coming.
He raised his hand and wiped his face, tears coming.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty did not die of illness, but was poisoned by King Huai."
"Chen Qinyu rebelled. Your Majesty knew that he was powerless to save the situation and wanted to pass the throne to the prince. However, the queen colluded with Prince Huai and leaked the news to him."
"The Queen poisoned His Majesty, and Prince Huai forced the emperor to abdicate."
"Before his death, His Majesty asked me to take the secret decree to the northwest and to tell His Majesty the truth about the rebellion in the East Palace."
"Your Majesty has been investigating the case of that year..."
Li Fugui was indeed a popular figure around Emperor Yuwen back then. Although he was crying uncontrollably, his speech was frighteningly clear and he explained the case clearly.
It also made Pan Yingying realize what kind of vicious wolf King Huai, who had been practicing Buddhism for many years, was.
King Huai first designed a plan to let Emperor Yuwen see the letter that Huo Shuangshuang had written to Chen Qingzhi.
Later, he seduced Huo Shuangshuang's personal maid, causing Emperor Yuwen to suspect that Crown Prince Xiao Fengyi was not his blood.
Huo Shuangshuang knew Emperor Yuwen's character very well, and knew that if he became suspicious, the crown prince, the Xiao family, and the Chen family would inevitably suffer.
Before Huo Shuangshuang and Emperor Yuwen got married, she did have feelings for Chen Qingzhi. Emperor Yuwen knew it very well, but he said he didn't care. After the marriage, he did use Chen Qingzhi to express his trust in Huo Shuangshuang.
But the matter has been brought up again and involves a wide range of issues.
Huo Shuangshuang committed suicide by leaving a letter, begging Emperor Yuwen not to vent his anger on the Xiao family and the crown prince because of unfounded matters.
She didn't even dare to mention Chen Qingzhi in the letter.
Unfortunately, she underestimated a man's suspicion.
That's why Emperor Yuwen later joined hands with Surile to use the six cities of Tongguan to trap and kill Chen's army and Chen Qingzhi.
But in fact, the person that Su Rile was really trading with was not Emperor Yuwen, but King Huai.
In order to restrain each other, he and Su Rile asked for 1000 Tatars to enter the pass, 500 of whom were given to Qu Xiaoran in the name of Xiao Fengyi.
These 500 Tatars became the "ironclad evidence" that Xiao Fengyi was colluding with the grassland to rebel.
With another 500, he established the Dragon Guard, which had been working for him in secret.
Xiao Shen had just found out everything not long ago. His original intention was to use this truth to exchange for Northwest's help in securing his throne, but Chen Qinyu and King Huai did not give him time.
Therefore, even if he died, he would drag King Huai down with him.
Li Fugui had been studying the heart-eating poison in the imperial mausoleum with a group of Taoist priests hired by Emperor Yuwen. Liu Pianran's body was placed in the imperial mausoleum as a container for the poison. Xiao Shen had originally planned to wait until the poison was successfully developed before handing it over to Liu Mingwu for proper burial.
On the day Xiao Shen summoned Prince Huai to the palace, the poisonous insect was not placed in the tea, but on the chair.
……
……
Pan Yingying stood on the high platform of Taoyuan Women's Military Academy, holding a big loudspeaker in her hand.
"I'm not going to give you a long inspiring speech, so let's keep it short."
"This time we fight the capital, we'll get two taels for each head!"
"Sisters, I'm bringing you the chance to reach the pinnacle of your life and marry a tall, rich and handsome man!"
The cheers of the Taoyuan female soldiers below were deafening.
Lumei clenched her fists tightly, turned her head and said to Honglian, "The girl said she couldn't say inspiring words, but I was so excited just hearing that. I wish I could rush to the capital right now and kill him seven times in and seven out."
Finally, the story of King Huai, the treacherous old man, Bi Gan, was written down.
