Chapter 530 Issuing a Prison Order (Two More in One)

Wu Jian said with a sad face, "The slave looks at it, it looks like General Su just got off the battlefield."

Emperor Qingming suddenly had a bad feeling, "Let them in."

Wu Jian went out as promised and opened the door of the palace.

Following the clatter of armor, General Su and Old General Li walked in. Both of them were in the armor of the whole house, and their bodies were stained with blood.

"The final general will see the emperor!"

"Flat body."

Looking at their images, Emperor Qingming almost guessed something.

He asked, "General Su, shouldn't you be in the Liangchuan Camp?"

General Su just got up and knelt down again, "Going back to the emperor, Dingguo took the edict and military talisman to the Liangchuan camp to dispatch troops, saying that the four princes rebelled and imprisoned the emperor...the one who will come to Beijing to serve the king in the end."

Emperor Qingming's sharp eyes sank, "Decree, military talisman?"

General Su took out the imperial edict and soldier talisman from his jacket, and handed it to Wu Jian, "The final general has verified it, and it is indeed a recruit talisman."

Wu Jian took the imperial edict and presented it to Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming opened the edict and read it first. The edict was true, and so was the seal.

The soldier talisman also fits perfectly, and the inscription is coherent.

Emperor Qingming said with a sullen face, "Where is Duke Ding? Take him in!"

General Su said with difficulty, "Go back to the emperor, Duke Ding...seems to be a fake. He has already run away."

Emperor Qingming suddenly stood up, "How could Duke Ding be a fake? You were an official in the same dynasty as him, so you didn't recognize him!"

General Su cupped his hands and said, "The last general is guilty. It's just that he has the same appearance as Ding Guogong, his voice and martial arts are also the same, and he has also described what happened in Beijing recently... The fourth prince has just led the camp in the western suburbs The last general also received the report from the mansion, and now that the crown prince is not in Beijing, the last general thought he was disobedient..."

Old General Li added from the side, "Your Majesty, it's no wonder that General Su misunderstood him. Even the last general, who had fought with Duke Dingguo before, was quite familiar with him. He had fought with him for a long time before and didn't notice him. It’s a lie. If he hadn’t killed the last general and General Chen, it would seem that he didn’t recognize us, and there would be no flaws in the others.”

Emperor Qingming's face was full of clouds, and he paced back and forth in the imperial study.

Duke Dingguo is a fake, so the crime of treason between him and King Jin does not exist, but he detains King Jin with great fanfare and besieges the two mansions.

It would be great if this news came half a day later, the one who should be killed, the one who should be beheaded, even if he was wrongly killed, it is not his fault as the emperor.

Emperor Qingming said, "Are you saying he is a fake? Then what is the purpose of his siege?"

The two veterans couldn't answer for a while, and they weren't that person, so how could they know what he was thinking?

Old General Li thought for a long time, and finally thought of a possibility, "Perhaps, to kill the fourth prince? The first thing he did when he came up was to shoot the fourth prince, and the fourth prince was already injured."

General Su shook his head and vetoed, "Impossible, his kung fu is very good, he can escape under the siege of the two of us, if he just wants to kill the fourth prince, wouldn't it be more convenient to attack alone?"

Old General Li frowned, "Then tell me, what else could he be doing for it! Before leaving, he still called the old man an idiot, it's really hateful!"

General Su pondered for a moment, "The way he speaks, he looks like someone from the world..."

Old General Li said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Looking at the generals in the entire Zhou Dynasty, there is no one else who can single out you and me except Duke Ding. If it wasn't for him, he would only be someone from the world! And you Look at his later moves, they are all gaudy, they don't look like our strong warriors with every move!"

General Su frowned, "Old General Li, can you speak well."

"This old man keeps talking like this... Tell me, is what I said unreasonable?"

……

The two old generals came and went, arguing, completely forgetting that they were in the imperial study room at this time, and also forgetting what the final point of their dispute was.

Emperor Qingming looked down at Zhao Chengyuan.

Zhao Chengyuan drank tea and watched the two old generals bickering with interest.

Obviously, he knew that he was safe and sound, and instead watched the excitement.

Emperor Qingming thought of Lord Zhen Guo, and he told Wu Jian, "Send the Lord Zhen Guo here quickly."

Wu Jian stepped down as promised.

Township government.

Wang Can has already got the news.

He walked back and forth in the study with a sullen face, "How could that Duke Ding be fake? How could the imperial edict and tiger charm be fake?"

Wang Maodao, "Your majesty is probably the first person to suspect that you are father. You are the only one who knows the cipher text of the Tiger Talisman. You also have the most access to the emperor's edict. It is more convenient than others to steal blank edicts and seals."

Wang Can naturally understood this truth.

What he was more worried about was that the emperor would think too much and think that all of this was his arrangement.

When he thought that all this seemed to be done by him, and he couldn't even explain himself, he couldn't help but shudder.

The opponent clearly set up a game against him, under his nose.But he happily entered the game and pushed it forward with one hand.

Wang Can stopped in his tracks suddenly, and ordered, "Arrange people to go to Jianzhou, and play tricks all the way, so that everyone thinks that Ding Guogong over there is a fake, hurry up!"

Wang Maodao, "Father is trying to confuse the real with the fake?"

Wang Can said, "This is the only way, hurry up!"

Wang Mao agreed.

But he wasn't sure if it was too late to do this now.If this is a bureau set up against them, then this bureau must have been designed from the source.

As soon as he left the house, the eunuch who delivered the order from the palace arrived.

Wang Can changed into an official uniform and entered the palace.

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "The news about Lord Zhen is probably earlier than mine. You should know what happened, right?"

Wang Can knelt down and cupped his hands, "I'm terrified!"

Emperor Qingming waved the others away, leaving only the two of them in the imperial study.

He stared at Wang Can with sharp eyes, "I didn't see that you were afraid, but I thought you were very courageous. Apart from me, only you know which one belongs to the Liangchuan camp. How do you explain it?"

Wang Can cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are not falling for other people's tricks. This is clearly a game to drive us apart! The officials have no reason to send people to rebel. The prince is already the crown prince, and the aunt is the queen mother. The minister is not so confused Superfluous!"

Emperor Qingming sneered, "I don't think this is superfluous, this step by step is quite methodical, and no step is wasted.

In order to solve the troubles of the Northwest Prince, you forged the imperial edict and tiger amulet, and asked someone to pretend to be the third prince to dispatch troops.Afterwards, he framed the third prince and Luo Shangshu, and sent them to prison.

After disposing of the third prince, you saw the fourth prince taking control of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and you became murderous towards him.You first misled the Queen Mother into thinking that Princess Jin poisoned Nanzhang, and then led her to anger King Jin, forcing me to attack King Jin in the name of killing my clan.Later, seeing that I was unwilling to kill, I repeated the same trick and found someone to pretend to be Ding Guogong to send troops to Beijing.

One of them is the king of Qin, and the other thinks that Duke Dingguo is indignant and rebellious to save his daughter, so they kill each other, so they don't suspect that the matter is fraudulent.

And once the war broke out, it would be logical for the fourth prince to be shot and killed during the war, and King Jin would also be executed for treason.Even if the truth is revealed, everything will become a fait accompli. You killed two opponents of the prince with one stone. "

Emperor Qingming got up and walked to Wang Can, staring at him condescendingly, "If it is assumed that the identity of the Duke is not exposed, he will lead the troops all the way to the capital and enter the palace. Now that the palace is empty of defenses, if he succeeds, the crown prince will not have to wait." You can easily become emperor in a few decades. I said it, right?"

Wang Can's face was pale.

What he was most worried about still happened.The emperor thought of more than he imagined.But everything is reasonable, and many things are indeed created by him, and he has no way to refute.

He rested his hands on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I am terrified! This is the strength of that man. He set up a situation in which you and the Emperor were involved. Your Majesty, I can swear on the lives of the people..."

"They are dying people, you don't have to swear on them."

Emperor Qingming interrupted him, "The crime of treason, coupled with the mutilation of the clan, do the Wang clan still want to survive?"

Wang Can's lips trembled, and he said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that perhaps this Duke Dingguo is real? He deliberately showed his flaws to make everyone think he was a fake, so as to blame the ministers and drive us apart. However, King Jin and Duke Ding can get away with this, completely clearing away the relationship."

Emperor Qingming's eyes darkened.

There is also this possibility.

He asked, "Even so, how to explain the tiger talisman?"

Wang Can said, "Tiger charms are made by the Ministry of Industry, and they can easily reproduce a complete set. Next, they only need to understand the rules of the emperor's distribution of tiger charms, or they may have peeked at the tiger charms distributed by the emperor to the Liangchuan camp... ..."

Emperor Qingming snorted coldly.

This is clearly a preposterous statement.

But it's not impossible.

If Ding Guogong who dispatched troops is real, then everything is possible.

He said, "So, do you think that the person behind this setup is King Jin?"

Wang Can saw that the emperor's attitude had softened, so he hurriedly said, "The king of Jin is unparalleled in his plan. Apart from him, I am afraid that no one can come up with such a wonderful game."

He didn't just say this to save himself, but he really thought so.Besides King Jin, who else could make him fall so hard!
Wu Jian came in quietly and stood at the gate of the hall watching from afar.

Emperor Qingming asked, "What's the matter?"

Only then did Wu Jian approach cautiously, "Report to the emperor, there is good news from Jianzhou."

Emperor Qingming said, "Let them in."

Wu Jian opened the door of the hall, and three soldiers entered the hall in full weather.

After saluting, the leading lieutenant presented the victory report, "Report to the emperor, Nan Deng invaded the border of Wuzhou, Duke Ding and General Lu led troops to wipe out more than enemies and seize two cities!"

It was Lu Zhen'an's own handwriting that Emperor Qingming launched the victory report, and there was a secret note agreed by the two of them on it, and no one else could imitate it.

According to the victory report, he and Ding Guogong fought in Wuzhou throughout the late winter solstice and the twelfth lunar month, and this time the victory report also asked the emperor to issue a troop dispatch talisman, so that they could also send troops from Jianzhou to reinforce Wuzhou and pursue the victory.

He threw the victory report in front of Wang Can, "Come and see, which Duke Ding is true and which is false?"

As soon as Wang Can heard the Xinbing report, he knew that he had no way to defend himself.

Lu Zhenan is notoriously cunning, no one can fake it in front of him.

What's more, leading troops to fight is a real skill, and after a few battles, the true colors will be revealed.

Emperor Qingming said coldly, "Duke Ding was fighting in Wuzhou a month ago, how do you let him go to Liangchuan to transfer troops, and even try to get the edict and soldier amulets?"

Wang Can said, "Or maybe, King Jin simply arranged for a fake Duke Ding to attack the capital..."

"enough!"

Emperor Qingming's face was as dark as ink, and his whole body was terribly cold.

With such clear facts in front of him, any explanation is powerless.What's more, the Wang family's ambitions have never stopped.

"Come on!"

A few imperial guards outside the door rushed in.

Emperor Qingming stroked the jade wrench finger, and said in a deep voice, "Duke Zhen Guo intends to seek rebellion, so he will be imprisoned for trial!"

"According to the order!"

The guards stepped forward to restrain Wang Can, and walked out.

Wang Can shouted, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, you must not be fooled by others!"

Emperor Qingming watched him being dragged away with cold eyes.

In the side hall.

General Su looked out of the window and sighed, "It turns out that the person behind the scenes is Lord Zhen Guo. He really knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. I thought he was an upright and open person."

Old General Li looked at Wang Can being dragged away with regret.

General Su turned to look at him, "Why, do you still sympathize with him?"

Old General Li regretted, "The person pretending to be Ding Guogong is really a character, with a lot of ability. I wanted to ask Zhen Guogong to introduce him, but now it seems that I have no chance."

General Su shook his head, "No matter how stupid Duke Zhen is, he wouldn't throw himself into the trap, right? Old General Li, you should give up your mind."

Old General Li is not willing to give up. He analyzed, "This man is tall and does not look like a young man. He must be in his 40s or s. Then compare this and screen the famous people in the world..."

General Su said, "Then there are still unknown people?"

Old General Li frowned, "That's right."

He moved closer to Zhao Chengyuan, "My lord, this time you have suffered an indiscriminate disaster, do you know who the fake person is?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Old General Li, it's better not to have such curiosity, what if that person finds out, kill him to silence him?"

Old General Li felt a chill down his spine, and immediately changed his words, "Whoever he is, he must be a bad bird if he calls me an idiot!"

Wu Jian came to invite each other, and the three went to the main hall again.

Emperor Qingming first appreciated General Li's sharp eyesight for seeing through the true face of the presumed Duke, and then praised General Su for discovering something wrong in time and avoiding a vicious battle of cannibalism.

After that, let the two retreat.

He looked at Zhao Chengyuan and said in a deep voice, "Seventh brother, you have been wronged."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "It's okay for my brother to suffer some grievances. It's just a misunderstanding anyway, and there will always be a time to untangle it. It's just that the Yuming Mansion has been snowed heavily and the common people have suffered so much. Brother Huang should make a decision early."

Emperor Qingming lowered his eyebrows, "That's right. The Third Prince guards the throne of Kun, so he cannot easily leave for a long time."

He said, "Let King Cheng come in!"

Not long after, King Chengjun entered the imperial study.

Emperor Qingming said, "You go to the Imperial Prison to mention the Third Prince..."

He paused, "Release the third prince and Luo Shangshu on the spot, each resumed their posts, and came to see me after washing up."

The king of Chengjun responded with a loud voice, and took the order to retreat.

Emperor Qingming sighed sadly, and patted Zhao Chengyuan's shoulder, "Seventh Brother, let's think about it for me, how to explain to the Queen Mother."
