After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 236 Rebellion
The Duke sneered, "Who do you think you are? Let Cao Rongzhen come out and talk to me!"
Liang Zhuo's face turned purple from being scolded. "Lord Cao and Lord Zhou are both with His Majesty. You, a guilty minister, can't just ask to see them! I advise you not to resist. Do you think your few palace guards can compete with the three thousand Jinyiwei?"
Ye Qingyu's cold voice was filled with sarcasm, "The Right Commander keeps saying that the Zhenguo Mansion is plotting a rebellion. Where's the evidence? Your Majesty wants to kill everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion. Where's the imperial edict?"
She smiled coldly, "Lord Liang, you have no evidence whatsoever, yet you dared to threaten the lives of over a hundred people in the Zhenguo Mansion. You are so bold! This princess suspects that you are forging an imperial decree and slandering our Zhenguo Mansion!"
Liang Zhuo panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. "The princess is indeed sharp-tongued. I've told you that the emperor has spoken, and without an imperial decree, how dare you disobey him!"
Third Master Gu sneered, "What a decree from the Emperor! I even met His Majesty in the Imperial Study today, but how come I didn't hear His Majesty mention the rebellion at the Zhenguo Mansion? It's only been half a night, and the Zhenguo Mansion is already rebelling. I suspect you're plotting against His Majesty! Liang Zhuo, who gave you the guts to forge an imperial decree and murder His Majesty? Did Lord Cao and Lord Zhou also fall victim to your murderous hand?"
When Master Gu Sanye said this, the Jinyiwei looked at Liang Zhuo suspiciously. Liang Zhuo looked a little flustered. "Don't listen to the excuses of these criminals. They are just trying to save their lives by framing me. Since you didn't cherish the opportunity I gave you, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"The Duke of Zhenguo is plotting rebellion and refuses to admit his fault. Kill them!"
The Jinyiwei were still a little confused about whether they should take action. After all, Liang Zhuo was just a right commander, and they usually listened to Lord Cao or Lord Zhou. Today, because Liang Zhuo said time was urgent, they followed him in a daze.
Now that I think about it, just as Mr. Gu San said, the charge of treason against the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came too suddenly.
"Let's see who dares to touch the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
A delicate cry came from the mansion, and everyone made way for each other. Princess Changning was seen wearing a cloak, her pretty face without any makeup, and her hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess."
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite." She looked at Liang Zhuo, "Sir Liang, who told you to frame the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"
Liang Zhuo was not surprised at all to see Princess Changning. He had known for a long time that Princess Changning was in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that you come to my side. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is full of traitors. If I accidentally hurt you, it would be disastrous."
Princess Changning shouted, "How dare you! Father would never issue such a ridiculous order. I suspect you are forging an imperial decree!"
Liang Zhuo didn't want to argue with Princess Changning anymore. Time waits for no one. It was almost midnight, and he had to capture Princess Changning before the hour of the Ox!
"Princess, I'm sorry!"
"Capture the traitor, everyone follow me!"
"Protect the Duke, protect the princess!"
Suddenly, countless soldiers in black armor rushed out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The Jinyiwei who had just taken a step forward froze in shock.
Liang Zhuo's expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "Duke Zhenguo, you still dare to say you didn't rebel? If you didn't, where did all these soldiers come from?"
The Duke of Zhenguo sneered, "Lord Liang seems to have forgotten the one thousand personal guards my grandson brought back from the northern border."
Liang Zhuo's face turned pale instantly. Yes, they all forgot that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had soldiers.
When Gu Tingyuan brought the Xiongnu royal family back from the northern border to present the captives to Your Majesty, he naturally had to bring soldiers to guard them. They were Xiongnu royal family members. If they were rescued, all his previous achievements would be wasted.
Naturally, a lot of people had to be brought to guard them. They only saw more than a hundred soldiers from the northern border escorting the prisoners into Kyoto City, but they forgot that it was impossible for Gu Tingyuan to bring the Xiongnu royal family to Kyoto City smoothly with just a hundred people.
The remaining people must have been left outside Kyoto.
"Humph, so your rebellion was planned long ago! Even if you deny it, Duke Zhenguo, these soldiers are evidence. Everyone, follow me! It's just a thousand people. We have more people than them, so we're not afraid of them!"
While the Jinyiwei was still wavering, not knowing who to listen to, suddenly, a cold and stern voice shouted, "Liang Zhuo, you are really looking for death!"
A fast horse came galloping, and the person on the horse was clearly visible to everyone under the bright light.
"Lord Cao!" The Jinyiwei shouted excitedly when he saw the backbone.
Liang Zhuo took a step back in panic, "You, sir, aren't you accompanying His Majesty?"
"Humph, you've already knocked me out! When did you ever accompany His Majesty?"
When the Jinyiwei heard what Lord Cao said, they were instantly in an uproar.
"Master Liang, you actually lied to us!"
"Asshole, I was deceived by him!"
"He is the one who is plotting rebellion!"
Lord Cao gave him a cold look, then turned and saluted Changning and Ye Qingyu, "I am sorry to have come late and frightened Your Highness."
Although Changning's face was still pale, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not too late. Lord Cao has arrived at the right time."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll leave the rest to you."
Chang Ning asked worriedly, "Lord Cao, is my father okay?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. His Majesty is fine."
"That's good, that's good." Changning was finally relieved.
Lord Cao looked at Liang Zhuo and the people around him and sneered, "You guys, I'll give you one chance. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship we've had over the years."
The Jinyiwei surrounding Liang Zhuo all had struggling looks in their eyes.
Liang Zhuo said fiercely, "It has come to this. Do you really think he will let you go? You can still survive if you rush out with me!"
Lord Cao looked at him with a mocking expression, "Liang Zhuo, why do you think you're not as good as Zhou Yuan? Look at the people around you. Even if you were given wings, you wouldn't be able to escape. Just like you said, surrender and maybe I'll leave you with a whole body."
Liang Zhuo sneered, "Cao Rongzhen, don't be so proud. Do you think you've won? Haha, you're here, most of the Jinyiwei are here, there's no one left in the palace now, right? Haha, we're the winners. As long as I'm alive, I'll be given a high position and generous salary. I don't need you to leave me with an intact body!"
However, his words did not change Lord Cao's expression at all. "Really? Then you have to wait."
"Take it for me."
The Jinyiwei rushed forward and quickly captured Liang Zhuo and several of his confidants.
He glared at Lord Cao coldly, "Haha, even if you catch me, it won't change the outcome of your failure today. As long as the Crown Prince captures His Majesty, this world will be ours. You, you, and you, all must die! All must die!"
The order he received was to capture Princess Changning and the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as hostages, and to transfer the Jinyiwei out of the palace. Although he did not capture anyone, he still transferred the Jinyiwei out. The palace was empty, and no one could stop the eldest prince from leading his troops into the palace.
Princess Changning was so frightened after hearing Liang Zhuo's words that she almost collapsed. "Brother, how could he rebel? Father, Lord Cao, please go back and save me!"
