Luo Xiao's identity is sensitive, once he appears in the palace, he might startle the snake

Chapter 261 The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat

The next morning.

Royal study.

"Ai Qing, do you have any bold ideas to share with me today?"

Last time, Emperor Yongping has already paid attention to the matter of compiling the Yongping Grand Ceremony proposed by Gu Ming, as well as the cancellation of the ban on martial arts, the addition of military exercises, and the formation of special operations forces. He is currently discussing with some ministers.

Basically, the Yongping Grand Ceremony has relatively many supporters.

However, the vast majority of ministers are against the cancellation of the military ban, for fear of causing irreversible and serious consequences.

"Your Majesty, I came here today to report a major event."

"Oh?" Emperor Yongping couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?"

The matter is of great importance, Gu Ming lazily detoured, and cut straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Ni Chenggui, a general at the western border, is plotting to rebel!"

"what?"

Emperor Yongping cried out in surprise, thinking that he had heard wrong.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. This letter was written by Duke Yasukuni to the Emperor, and the Emperor will know it at a glance."

"Duke Yasukuni? Why didn't he report such an important military situation to me in person?"

Gu Ming explained: "Your Majesty, Ni Chenggui is already mobilizing troops. Once Lord Yasukuni appears in the palace, it will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance."

Having said this, Emperor Yongping could barely accept it, and took the letter with a gloomy face and read it.

After reading the letter, his complexion finally improved a little. Thinking about it, Luo Xiao had already mentioned the countermeasures in the letter.

However, Gu Ming's words pulled his heart to the bottom again.

"Your Majesty, if nothing else happens, it is Prince Qing who colluded with Ni Chenggui!"

"How could it be him? Uncle Huang has always followed the rules, Gu Aiqing, where did you come from for these evidences? How did you know that Ni Chenggui would rebel?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is more complicated to talk about. Originally, I planned to wait for the right time to talk about some things, but now that it has involved a major rebellion, I can only talk about it in advance."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongping couldn't help but frowned: "Aiqing, what else are you hiding from me?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't intend to hide this from you. Let's talk about Ni Chenggui's rebellion first."

"Okay, can Ai Qing tell you in detail how you got the news."

"Yes" Gu Ming nodded, and then said: "That was when I first came to the capital to take office. That night, Princess Qing came to look for me."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yongping immediately widened his eyes: "Wait, Aiqing, what did you say? Princess Qing is going to see you at night?"

Speaking of it, Princess Qing is his real aunt, that's all.

"Hey, the emperor listened to his ministers slowly explain that the whole thing is very weird, the emperor had better be mentally prepared."

"Okay, I'll try to be as calm as possible."

"The reason why Princess Qing married Lord Qing was actually a well-designed conspiracy. Princess Qing's name is Xin Jiuniang, but her real identity is actually a fox spirit"

"What? Princess Qing is a fox spirit?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the reason why Xin Jiuniang was able to marry into the palace was all due to a secret arrangement by one person."

"Who?"

"Defender of the country!"

"The protector of the country? How could this happen? Could it be that the protector of the country can't see the identity of Xin Jiuniang?"

"On the contrary, it is precisely because Fa Zhang knew that Xin Jiuniang was a fox spirit, so he let her marry into the palace.

To put it simply, it is a beauty trick to control Prince Qing conveniently. "

"Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it, Fa Zhang is a generation of eminent monks, and I personally canonized him to protect the country, how could he do such a thing?"

If it was Gu Ming, if it was another minister who said these words, Emperor Yongping would have turned his back on him long ago.

Regarding Emperor Yongping's reaction, Gu Ming already knew clearly, and raised his hand to lift the three-character scripture hanging on the wall: "Does the emperor know why I sent such a calligraphy?"

"Is there any deep meaning in this?"

"That's right, this word can make the emperor calm and calm, so as to weaken the influence of Fa Zhang on you."

"Influence? What does that mean?"

"Fazhang's image as an eminent monk is only in appearance. In fact, his body is a thousand-year-old centipede spirit!"

"What? You said Zhang is a demon?"

Emperor Yongping lost his composure again.

This is probably also the day with the most gaffes in his life.

"That's right, it doesn't matter whether the emperor believes it or not, let the minister speak slowly.

Although Xin Jiuniang is a fox spirit, she has a kind nature. Earlier, she found a husband when she entered the world. The couple loved each other and had a child.

In the end, she was targeted by Fa Zhang, who kidnapped her husband and children and threatened her. Finally, under the coercion of Fa Zhang, she had to marry Prince Qing.

She has been trying to save her husband and child, but she doesn't know where they are being held.

It was precisely because of this that she chose to cooperate with Chen. She helped him provide some information, and Chen also promised her to find a way to save her husband and children.

It was she who discovered some clues about Ni Chenggui colluding with Prince Qing to rebel."

"Why didn't Ai Qing report such an important matter to me?"

"At that time, Xin Jiuniang was only skeptical and not completely sure. After weighing up and down, I went to Lord Jingguo and asked him to help secretly keep an eye on the movements of the troops stationed at the border.

Now, the people sent by Lord Jingguo have confirmed that there is something wrong with Ni Chenggui, so I went to the palace to report to the emperor. "

"Then does Aiqing have a way to prove that Fa Zhang is a demon?"

"To tell the truth from the emperor, the minister has already fought against him"

"what?"

"I'm just trying to test his strength, which is basically the end. Actually, it's very easy to prove that he is a demon, but if you push him into a hurry, the consequences may be very serious."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, that old demon abducted not only Xin Jiuniang's family, but also the families of many ministers in the court.

It was based on this that the minister was afraid that the old demon would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he had been secretly looking for a place to hold the hostages. "

"Has there been any progress?"

"Not yet, because I have been paying attention to the fact that Ni Chenggui and Prince Qing conspired to raise troops."

"I feel dizzy"

Emperor Yongping couldn't help covering his forehead, his mind was in chaos.

At this time, Gu Ming couldn't help but express his eloquence, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, you must believe what I say."

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that Fa Zhang is a demon?"

"It's not scary to be a monster, but what's scary is that he doesn't feel at ease as a protector of the country. Once he is done, the world will be in chaos!"

"Then what should I do now?"

At this time, Emperor Yongping was really exhausted physically and mentally.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Gu Ming, but Purdue Cihang has a great influence on him, and he can't accept it for a while.

The palm of the hand is flesh, and the back of the hand is also flesh

Coupled with Ni Chenggui's rebellion with Prince Qing, it made his mind even more chaotic.

"Your Majesty, this is also the reason why I have not told you the real identity of Fa Zhang before, I wanted to wait until the time is right to tell you.

But now the two things are intertwined, so Chen can only reveal in advance

Your majesty, regarding the identity of the father-in-law, this matter is no small matter, please don't mention it in front of anyone, once the news leaks, the consequences will be disastrous

a few days later.

A piece of news was sent back to the capital suddenly, which immediately caused a huge turmoil between the government and the opposition.

Ni Chenggui, the general guarding the pass, and more than a dozen capable generals under his command conspired to rebel. Fortunately, they were discovered by the court's secret agents in time, and they were controlled in time by means of thunder, avoiding a crisis of mutiny.

When the news was sent back to the capital, many ministers did not believe that Ni Chenggui would rebel, thinking that this was an internal strife for power and profit.

This kind of thing has been going on since ancient times. In order to climb up, some lieutenants are unscrupulous and dare to use any means.

Afterwards, another shocking news came out: It was Prince Qing who colluded with Ni Chenggui in rebellion. Knowing that the matter had been revealed, Prince Qing led a group of men to flee in a hurry, but before he could escape from the capital, he was arrested by experts from the Shence Mansion. catch.

As soon as the news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

After all, Prince Qing has always followed the rules, giving people the impression that he is the kind of person who is content with the status quo and only knows how to enjoy himself. How could he have such great ambitions?

Prince Qing was arrested on the front foot, and on the back foot, all the princes in the capital went to the palace one after another. Because they also became frightened birds, fearing that they would be implicated by this incident, they had to go to the emperor to talk heart-to-heart, clear up the suspicion, and show their loyalty.

Prince Qing's Mansion was taken over by the imperial court, and all the family members and servants of the mansion were taken into custody, and their accomplices were interrogated one by one.

However, there is an important person missing mysteriously: Princess Qing.

Throughout the dynasties, treason is a heinous crime, and should be punished by the nine clans.Of course there are exceptions, such as Prince Qing punishing Prince Qing's nine clans?

Prince Qing is the emperor's uncle, so the nine clans have punished the emperor himself?

Therefore, the involvement of the children of the royal family in rebellion generally only involves their direct lineage.

Princess Qing is Prince Qing's official wife, no matter whether she knows about it or not, she cannot escape a felony

As a result, his whereabouts became a mystery, causing many people to speculate.

Some people said that Concubine Qing was pregnant with Prince Qing's child. For safety reasons, Prince Qing sent Concubine Qing away from the capital a long time ago and placed her in secret to preserve the incense.

Some people say that Princess Qing happened to go back to her natal family and escaped the catastrophe for the time being.

There are even more outrageous rumors in the market, saying that because Princess Qing is so beautiful, the emperor was reluctant to kill her, so she secretly kept her in the harem, and lied to the outside world that she was missing.

In the end, no one expected that Xin Jiuniang never left the capital.

Tianzhao Temple.

"Trash, you've been staying by that old guy's side all this time, and you don't even know he's planning a rebellion?"

In the meditation room, Pudu Cihang had a ferocious face and roared angrily at Xin Jiuniang.

Recently, he has been thinking about how to deal with Gu Ming and remove obstacles, but he never thought that the backyard would catch fire.

From this, the old demon also began to realize that his ability might not be that strong.

"Fa Zhang, the slave family is really wronged"

Xin Jiuniang pretended to be wronged.

"Don't make excuses, you are clearly dissatisfied with this seat and deliberately concealed it."

"Master Fa Zhang, this is really not the case, it's all due to Gu Ming and those people from the Western Regions

The slave family has already heard the news, this time Lord Qing colluded with others, and it was Gu Ming who delivered the news to the emperor."

"Even you don't know, how could that kid know?"

"I really don't know about this slave family. The reason why Prince Qing was not completely controlled by the slave family must be the fault of those people from the Western Regions."

"Have you seen those people from the Western Regions?"

"I saw it once. Lord Qing once brought two people from the Western Regions to the palace. Those two people seemed to be fine.

However, Prince Qing often goes out, and it is inconvenient for the slave family to follow him, so how would the slave family know what he did outside? "

"Hmph, after all, you are too useless."

"I beg the Lord Fa Zhang to show mercy and let the husband and children of the slave family go, okay?"

"You messed up everything I told you, and still want me to let you go?"

Xin Jiuniang looked miserable: "Then what should I do so that the father will release him?"

"Right now, you can only wait for orders temporarily, otherwise, you can change your appearance and stay in the palace, and be a court lady beside Concubine Ning, and then look for opportunities to confuse the emperor."
