Emperor Wenyuan was also stunned when he heard the drum.
"Who beat the Dengwen drum?"
At this time, Emperor Wenyuan did not have the foolish attitude he had in the court, but he did look ugly and a little mean.
Without waiting for Eunuch Li to go out to check.
A guard came in hurriedly and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Yang of Qi has ascended the Dengwen Tower..."
"Yang Zhao?"
Emperor Wenyuan frowned suddenly when he heard the report from the imperial guards.
When he heard the drum had been struck ten times, his face suddenly turned pale and he immediately ordered, "Go and stop her from beating it again."
A sound is worth a hundred gold.
For an ordinary person, it would be impossible to achieve.
But Yang Zhao is different.
She is Duke Yang of Qi. She can afford it even a hundred times, let alone ten times. But if this happens, the matter will become a big deal.
How could he let her disrupt his plans?
But when Emperor Wenyuan arrived in front of the Dengwen Tower, the Dengwen drum was struck more than twenty times. It is estimated that the people in the entire capital city had heard it, and the Dengwen Tower was indeed crowded with people.
Everyone is watching.
Yang Zhao, who was supposed to be in Yujiang, was standing in front of the Dengwen drum in plain clothes, with his back straight.
Only after seeing him coming did they kneel down and salute.
"The Dengwen Drum was established to report serious grievances to those who have been wronged, not to be played as a joke by anyone."
Emperor Wenyuan, who was sitting on a high throne, said majestically.
Because of his thinness, the dragon robe on his body looked empty, and when the wind blew, you could hear a rustling sound.
Yang Zhao raised his head, folded his hands, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am here to seek justice for my father, the Marquis of Zhenbei."
"Your Majesty, my father has devoted his entire life to the country and would never commit treason. I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly before making a final decision, rather than imprisoning and beheading my father based solely on someone else's words."
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Wenyuan's face turned grim, feeling that Yang Zhao's words were a challenge to his authority. "Are you questioning my decision? I have already had the Marquis of Zhenbei investigated thoroughly to see if he is guilty..."
"His Majesty."
Before Emperor Wenyuan could finish, Yang Zhao interrupted him, saying, "That old General Meng is a fake. Someone used a disguise to impersonate him. His words are completely untrustworthy. My father was wrongly accused."
Pretending?
Emperor Wenyuan was slightly stunned.
At this moment, a purple figure walked out from the crowd.
"Your son greets His Majesty!"
Mo Chen greeted him with a greeting.
When Emperor Wenyuan saw that it was Mo Chen, his expression darkened: "Didn't King Yi put you under house arrest?"
Mo Chen glanced at Emperor Wen Yuan's expression and, thinking of what Wen Shijie had said, he clenched his fists. However, when he saw Yang Zhao from the corner of his eye, he stood up and said, "Father, I heard about the Marquis of Zhenbei and broke the house arrest order to seek justice for him."
"You also want to seek justice for the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
"yes."
Mo Chen nodded in affirmation, and then he had Chen Yu escort someone forward, "Father, this is the messenger from that day. I've checked thoroughly, and this person isn't a messenger under General Meng at all."
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at the escorted messenger with a bad expression.
"You have quite a long hand. Even the messenger from that day knew about it and was able to arrest him."
Under normal circumstances, Mo Chen would never do such a stupid thing.
But times are different now…
"Father, the Marquis of Zhenbei is a pillar of our dynasty and has sacrificed a lot for the country and the people. I really don't want him to die unjustly. I also don't want our Mo Dynasty to lose a major force and let the conspiracy of those who secretly manipulated all this succeed."
"So I acted on my own initiative. I will apologize to the emperor later."
"Now, Father, please look at this."
As he spoke, Mo Chen took out a bottle of water from his arms, then walked up to the messenger and splashed it on his face.
At first, everyone didn't know what Mo Chen was doing.
until……
“It fell!”
"That person's face actually fell off..."
"Oh my god, that person's nose looks like it's hooked, and his eyes are sunken. He looks so weird..."
The onlookers saw the man's face skin falling off alive, and were shocked by the face underneath the skin.
Because underneath the skin, the man did have some distinctive features, such as deep eye sockets, a hooked nose, and other unique facial features.
When Emperor Wenyuan saw this, he suddenly stood up from his chair.
Others don’t recognize it.
But he recognized it.
That face was extremely similar to the group of foreign envoys who came from overseas twenty years ago.
They all have the same distinctive facial features.
"What's going on?"
Emperor Wenyuan asked.
Mo Chen bowed and replied, "Father, this is something I discovered accidentally. This person is from an overseas country called Ahlieguo. It was from him that I learned that this person is actually Princess Yuchang's man."
"Princess Yuchang's people?"
"Yes, Father."
Mo Chen glanced at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu immediately brought the foreigner forward and said, "Your Majesty, this man claims to be Ryan. Yes, he is from another country. He was sent by his master to be with Princess Yuchang."
Ryan knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Emperor Wenyuan on the high wall, and said in a very standard accent: "Your Majesty, I am a subordinate of Count Galil of the Alie Kingdom. If you do not want to go to war with our country, you must not kill us."
"you?"
Emperor Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ryan: "So, quite a few of you have come?"
Ryan didn't answer.
Instead, he knelt with his back straight, like an unyielding warrior.
Mo Chen then spoke up: "Father, this person was one of the people arranged by Princess Yuchang. We need to investigate in detail how many other people there are from these countries."
"Father, the most important thing now is to bring General Meng here and confirm whether that man is the real General Meng."
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Mo Chen and then at Yang Zhao.
His eyes were cold.
However, in full view of the public, Emperor Wenyuan still ordered people to carry General Meng over.
General Meng looked pale.
After arriving, just as he was about to stand up and kneel down, Chen Yu took out a bottle of water from somewhere and poured it directly on General Meng's face.
General Meng was stunned.
By the time he reacted, his face had already slid down with the water.
"Oh my god, it's also a hooked nose..."
"It's really not General Meng..."
When the onlookers saw that scene, they all exclaimed in surprise.
When Emperor Wenyuan saw the scene of General Meng's face peeling off, his pupils shrank, because this was completely beyond his original plan, and his eyes suddenly became cold and serious.
But before he could speak.
An arrow flew through the air and shot into Emperor Wenyuan's chest...
