The same situation was shown in the picture, but the conclusive evidence was presented by Marquis Annan himself.
The dragon robe, the secret letter, and the border map that was sent out but intercepted.
Rong Baichuan could not produce any evidence to prove his innocence.
Faced with irrefutable evidence and pressure from his ministers, Rong Baichuan had no choice but to die in exchange for the safety of his wife and children.
It seemed that he was in a very bad state at that time, his body was tired and his mind was confused. There was someone next to him who kept asking him to make a decision and execute Rong Baichuan, but the voice and face were very blurry and he could not tell who it was.
When he came out of his chaotic thoughts, he saw Rong Baichuan had already put the sword on his neck and said to him,
"Your Majesty, I am afraid I can no longer fulfill my promise to always protect you. Please, for the sake of our thirty years of brotherhood, keep my wife and children safe."
After saying this, he drew his sword without hesitation.
When he flew over to stop it, only the warm blood sprayed on his face.
…
"This matter involves many things. I see that you have been busy with many things recently, and I want you to have a good New Year. I plan to inform you of this after the Lantern Festival."
Although this was part of the plan, in order to appease the lion who was about to go crazy, Rong Baichuan very tactfully considered the emperor's situation.
This plan came about when Qianluo sneaked into the study several times and dropped off secret letters indicating his collusion with Beiyi.
However, what Qianluo put there was an ambiguous conspiracy letter sent by the Northern Barbarian general.
So he took advantage of the situation and simply used it to expose the spy's secrets.
First prove that you are plotting a rebellion, and then immediately slap him in the face. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
You can also see how many people in the court want to kill him.
Rong Baichuan's words brought the emperor back to his senses.
The sadness that was infected by the empty memory disappeared instantly when he saw Rong Baichuan's playful smile.
He clenched his fists tightly to restrain the urge to rush over and beat him up.
Fortunately, it was just déjà vu in my subconscious.
If Rong Baichuan had really done that just now, he would definitely grind him to dust!
At this time, someone came from outside the palace to report that Jiang Lingyu wanted to see him.
Jiang Lingyu came to report that all other spies in the city had been arrested.
This makes Rong Baichuan's words that he was doing good for the emperor completely untenable.
He could plan big things, but he failed with such a small lie. What a mistake!
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry but not yet, Rong Baichuan quickly told him the good news.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
"This time we're going to rescue Chao Xi, and we'll also wipe out all the bandits who have been entrenched in Ju Ku Mountain for many years..."
"What!"
Rong Baichuan was startled by Xu Wanli's sudden shout in his ear and almost punched him.
"What the hell are you yelling about in the hall?" Rong Baichuan covered his ears speechlessly.
"Did you wipe out the bandits in Juku Mountain? Those bandits who have been confronting the imperial court for over a decade and are as hard to defeat as rats?"
Xu Wanli asked in disbelief.
Not only Xu Wanli was surprised, but other court officials were also extremely shocked.
That's a tough nut to crack for more than ten years.
In just one night, Rong Baichuan was wiped out?!?
"Yeah, what's the fuss about."
Rong Baichuan rolled his eyes at him and continued to report to the emperor.
"This time, we eliminated the bandits and rescued over 400 children..."
"Children? Over 400?"
This time it was Jiang Lingyu who interrupted him.
Before he could ask, Rong Baichuan nodded, "Yes, it's the child abduction case you're investigating. Come to my place later and I'll hand the suspect over to you."
"No wonder I couldn't find any clues after searching the entire Kyoto city. It turns out he hid there." Jiang Lingyu muttered to himself.
Hearing this, the person in the high position finally opened his eyes for the first time today.
"really?"
There was a rising joy in their voices.
Finally, something good happened.
"Yes, absolutely true," Rong Baichuan said. "The reason I led the troops back to the city was because there were so many children, and they were a little frightened. So I arranged for 500 elite soldiers to escort them back. Adding in the bandits and child kidnappers, the team seemed quite large... and since I was still a criminal, rumors spread that I was plotting a rebellion."
Of course, they sent someone to guide it a little bit.
The blood on his armor was from the polar bear.
"Hahahaha...good, good." The emperor was delighted. "You are indeed worthy of me, Rong Baichuan. What should I reward you with?"
"No need to reward anything, just..."
Rong Baichuan hadn't finished his humble words when he heard the emperor's voice rise eight degrees and say,
"Okay, then I won't give you a reward."
No... He didn't say he wanted nothing.
"Don't take credit for yourself, don't be arrogant. Dongwu has you, which is a great blessing."
Just as Rong Baichuan was about to speak, the emperor put a high hat on him, which stopped him from asking for money.
At this moment, because the emperor was in a good mood, the court officials also swept away their previous gloom and confusion.
They all gave Rong Baichuan compliments.
Except for the pale-faced Marquis of Annan.
Wha...what's going on?
Isn't he a traitor?
How come he suddenly became a successful minister again?
"Lord Rong, you are confused... Hey!"
"What a good boy! You actually broke off relations with him!"
"That's right. Just imagine how much pain General Rong must have felt when he was accused of treason and publicly abandoned by his father..."
"At that time, General Rong was still thinking of excluding the Annan Marquisate from his nine clans..."
Someone whispered in his ear.
