At night, in the imperial study, "Xiao Shunzi, where is my tea?" the emperor said without raising his head while he was approving the memorial.

A person behind him put the brewed tea on the table, the emperor glanced at the man's cuff from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly raised his head, "Who are you!"

Standing behind the emperor, Xing Chi put the dagger on the emperor's neck, "I am not an assassin, I just came to tell the emperor something, if you listen to me quietly, I will not hurt you."

The emperor said, "You are so brave. You broke into the palace in the middle of the night and threatened me with such disrespect. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of my palace?"

Xing Chi smiled and said, "Since I can appear in the emperor's imperial study room without making a sound, I am naturally confident to leave safely. None of the guards guarding outside have noticed me. Now there are only you and me here. Could it be that the emperor just wants to leave?" Are you sure I'll sit here and wait until the guards come in?"

The emperor thought to himself, if this person really came here for the assassination, I'm afraid he wouldn't waste so much time talking to me at this time, not to mention that he can sneak into the imperial study room in the heavily guarded palace. Presumably the guards outside are no match for him.It would be really dangerous if I called the guards over now, why not listen to why this person came first.

The emperor sat down firmly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I believe you, tell me why you sneaked into the palace."

Xing Chi put away the dagger in his hand, and seemed to be more respectful, and put a dozen letters on the desk full of memorials, "This is a letter from Feng Liang and his son colluding with officials to plot a rebellion. Please read it, Your Majesty."

The emperor opened the letters one by one, read the contents of the letter, and said angrily, "Such rebellious officials and thieves have really failed my trust in them. Could it be that the money for building the river channel was also embezzled by Feng Liang?" ?”

Xing Chi said, "That's right, the silver taels distributed by the emperor were actually used to build river channels, which was less than one-tenth of the total silver taels, and the rest was embezzled by Feng Liang privately. It's for him to raise troops in the future. However, compared with the other property embezzled by Feng Liang, the emperor's silver taels for disaster relief and river channel repairing... I'm afraid it's not a big amount."

"Say it."

"The emperor still remembers the Liu family in Jinling back then."

"Could it be that the Liu family has something to do with Feng Liang?"

Xingchi said, "The case of the Liu family happened before the death of the late emperor, and this case was also the first major case when the emperor took the throne. At that time, the emperor was surprised that the Liu family did not receive a huge amount of silver from the treasury, but he didn't know that it was not as good as the Liu family was actually stolen. half of the property."

"I remember that it was Feng Langqu who was in charge of ransacking the Liu family's house at that time." The emperor narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, as if he had already guessed what Xing Chi was referring to.

"Yes, most of the property of the Liu family fell into Feng Liang's hands in the end. Regarding the Liu family's rebellion, it was just a bureau set up by Feng Langqu to frame the Liu family. There is no evidence for the relics. Caomin came here today for one more thing, and that is to avenge the Liu family."

The emperor said, "Didn't the case be dismissed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the end, and I also spared the death penalty of the Liu family and others, so there is no grievance to say. Could it be..." The emperor recalled the scene in the early court, and said, "You killed the Yu family for the sake of Liumu. Dozens of people died in that case?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the murder of dozens of members of the Yu family was not done by Liu Mu, but a scheme set up by Feng Langqu and Wen Siren to frame Liu Mu."

"It's just that Liu Mu wanted to assassinate me back then, but he was executed by my guards on the spot, and now there is no proof of death."

"Your Majesty, it wasn't Liu Mu who was killed by the guards that day, but Feng Langqu hired him to pretend to be Liu Mu. The real Liu Mu is still alive today." Xing Chi said, "Your Majesty, Liu Mu was loved by the people when he was an official. He is a real parent official for the country and the people. When Liu Mu was framed, the people of Jinling wrote Wanmin Umbrella and wanted to come to the capital to sue the imperial court, but unfortunately they were robbed by Feng Liang's men on the way. Also, I heard Liumu was executed on the spot in the capital, and the people in Jinling spontaneously wore mourning for three days. The people even built ancestral halls for Liumu, and now there are still incense to worship. Such a beloved parent and official suffered innocent injustice, how can God? Can we not ask the blame for natural disasters."

At this time, the emperor believed Xing Chi's words, "Okay, don't worry, I have ordered people to re-investigate the case this morning, if Liu Mu really has any grievances, I will naturally let him be cleared."

Xing Chi said, "However, Feng's father and son are going to send troops soon, and the military town of Xuzhou and the imperial army in the capital are all in Feng Liang's hands. This is the emperor's top priority."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, frowned and said, "No wonder Feng Liang, an old man, has repeatedly suggested to me that Heng Wang supports his own troops and fears harming the country."

That night, the emperor sent a letter to King Heng to send troops to Xuzhou.

The situation in Xuzhou was controlled by King Heng just after the army was launched. At the same time, King Heng sent people to the capital to spread the news, saying that Xuzhou soldiers and horses had already attacked the capital, and the guards of the cities were not prepared enough, and the city fell.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Feng Liang ordered the Imperial Army to seal off the capital, and the entire palace seemed to be under Feng Liang's control.

There was silence in the palace, the eunuchs and maids were panicked, and the emperor's guards were replaced by a group of completely unfamiliar faces.Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor seemed to have been waiting for a long time, "Feng Liang! You are going to rebel!" The emperor said angrily.

The eunuch next to Feng Liangming presented the imperial edict he had drawn up to the emperor, "I have already drawn up the imperial edict, and the emperor can build the jade seal."

The eunuch next to the emperor scolded the young eunuch who came up with the imperial decree, "Bold slave, how dare you present this disrespectful thing to the emperor!"

The little eunuch bent down and said, "Eunuch, now the whole palace is filled with the prime minister's people. In the past, the eunuch was kind to the slave, and the slave would advise the eunuch that a man who understands current affairs is a hero."

The emperor threw a memorial to Feng Liang and said, "I ask you whether what is said in this memorial is true."

Feng Liang opened the memorial and said with a smile, "The old minister has nothing to hide now. It's true that I embezzled the silver for the construction of the river in Linhe County, and the money and food for disaster relief. I also transferred it to other places. It's not some robbers." for."

"What about the case of the Liu family in Jinling? The Liu family's property has been filled into the national treasury? Is the assassin who was executed on the spot that day really Liu Mu?"

Wen Siren said, "To be honest, the case of the Liu family back then was just my cousin and I deliberately framed the Liu family in order to get rid of Liu Mu. The income in your treasury is probably less than half of the real property of the Liu family. And the assassin is also me. Cousin hired someone to pretend to be Liu Mu. As for the massacre of Liu Mu’s murder of dozens of members of the Yu family, I also did it to frame Liu Mu. And your dead emperor, Lao Tzu, he didn’t die of any illness at all, but was killed by I bribed the little eunuch around him who died of poisoning for a long time. I was behind the construction of the former emperor’s palace in Jinling, and I was also behind the scenes. The case was only because the late emperor mistakenly thought that the case was related to you."

"What...so father, he...he was killed by you..." The emperor clenched his fists and said angrily, "Feng Langqu, you have been my prince's companion since childhood, and I treat you like a brother. You are a high-ranking official, and you trust you so much, why did you do such a rebellious thing!"

Feng Langqu said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, thinking of our past friendship, Langqu will definitely not embarrass you, let you live in the palace for the rest of your life, and will not kill your offspring."

Feng Liang stepped forward quickly and grabbed the imperial decree presented by the eunuch, pressed it on the table in front of the dragon chair, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, build the jade seal."

"What a wolfish ambition." The emperor turned his hands away and shouted, "Come here! Take down this group of rebellious officials and thieves."

More than a dozen bodyguards flew out from the darkness of the hall, blocking the emperor from Feng Liang and others.Feng Liang smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, the emperor has such a group of hidden guards. It seems that the old minister thinks the emperor is too simple. But with just a few hidden guards, do you think it can resist the imperial guards in the capital in the hands of the old man?"

The emperor didn't speak, just smiled.

"My lord, it's not good..." A soldier in armor came to report, it seemed that he had experienced a fight.

Feng Liang's expression changed, he had a premonition in his heart, and said sternly, "Speak quickly!"

The man said, "King Heng has already controlled the forbidden army in the capital. Just received the news that Xuzhou's soldiers and horses have also been defeated."

Feng Langqu grabbed the soldier's armor, "This is true!"

The soldier said, "My lord, I saw the head of Xuzhou General Li outside the city with my own eyes. It seems that he has been dead for more than a day or two."

Feng Liang froze on the spot, staggered back two steps, and muttered to himself, "How...how could this be..."

Feng Langqu killed the general who came to report the letter with a sword, and said, "This person must have been instructed by someone to come to spread news to mess with me. I also received a letter from General Li yesterday! Besides, King Heng has already handed it over to me. He lost his military power and went to the fief."

"Do you think I really took over Hengwang's military power?" The emperor laughed and said, "Could it be that I will be wary of my own uncle and completely listen to the slander of a villain like you? Also, I have already drawn up an imperial decree for Tarhan Prince Tuge of the tribe is crowned king. Do you think you can easily control the capital and take away my country! Come on, let me take down these rebellious officials and thieves!"

A dozen guards rushed forward, Feng Langqu said, "Father, you go first!" After speaking, he signaled his cronies to stay and deal with these guards.Feng Langqu turned around and rushed towards the guard behind him, and slapped his celestial cap with his palm, and the guard fell down on the spot bleeding from all seven orifices.The emperor was shocked, he had known him for more than twenty years, but he didn't know that this man was so powerful in martial arts.

Seeing that Feng Langqu seemed to be attacking in the direction of the dragon chair, Feng Liang grabbed Feng Langqu and whispered, "You can't kill him! Judging from the current situation, we have already lost. We still have Emperor Renzong to give you The great-grandfather's gold medal for avoiding death can still save his life. If you kill the emperor, even if you have the gold medal for avoiding death, you will die. Save your life first, and then leave the palace."

"That's right," Feng Langqu nodded, and turned to Liu Mu again, "Heavenly Enmity, after I'm here to end it, you and father first leave the palace and go to the west of the city to send Linling out of the city."

Liu Mu stood where he was, and said, "No one can get out of the palace."

Feng Langqu said, "It shouldn't be difficult for Tianqiu to fight his way out of the palace with your skills. There is a secret road in the mansion west of the city leading directly to the outside of the city. My guards will meet him there."

Liu Mu sneered, "Feng family members, no one can get out of here alive. Today I'm going to find out about dozens of lives in the Liu family and the Yu family."

Feng Langqu's expression turned serious, "Yin Tianchou, who are you!"

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Didn't your cousin Wen Siren remind you that I look like a human being when he saw me for the first time, but it's a pity you didn't believe it at the time. Do you think I would be killed by you so easily!" After finishing speaking Peel off the face. Skin. Mask.
