The eyes of all the civil and military officials were focused on Xiao Jingzhou's face.
The garrison troops in the camp outside the capital actually obeyed the orders of the deposed prince.
No wonder, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Jingzhou returned to the main hall.
The Imperial Censor Zhu angrily rebuked: "Deposed Crown Prince, you dared to raise troops and deceive your superiors and subordinates to raise private soldiers in the capital."
All the civil and military officials present gasped.
Lord Zhu has always been upright, but I didn't expect that he could speak so frankly at this critical juncture.
Lu Heng glanced at Lord Zhu. If it weren't for his age, he would have wanted to slap him a few times.
No wonder his father got so angry that he couldn't eat when he mentioned this student.
Zhu Ni'ao, indeed, lives up to his name.
As Wei Fengkuo stepped into the hall, he heard what Lord Zhu said.
...
...
He raised his voice and said: “At the beginning of the founding of the Great Jing Dynasty, the Great Jing Emperor ordered the Wei Family Army to stay in the capital and obey the orders of the Tiger Symbol.
How did he become a private soldier? ”
Wei Feng was not afraid of trouble and deliberately stabbed the Great Jing Emperor: "Your Majesty, you personally issued an order, didn't you forget it?"
The Great Emperor's eyes rolled, and when he heard Wei Feng's words, he realized that Xiao Jingzhou had the tiger talisman in his hand, so he could mobilize the Wei family army.
He is the emperor of Dajing, and there is absolutely no reason for the Wei family army to kill the king.
Therefore, he began to think about how to persuade Wei Feng to rebel.
The Great Emperor coughed coldly and said, "Of course I remember."
Zhang Caozhong suddenly looked up at Wei Feng. He didn't expect that Xiao Mian had a trick up his sleeve before leading the army in person.
Tiger Tally?
What does it look like?
Why hasn't he discovered the whereabouts of the tiger talisman in all these years?
Zhang Caozhong was filled with doubts and could not figure it out.
After a long while, he could only guess that what happened must have happened to Queen Gu.
He snorted in his heart: He underestimated that woman.
Wei Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have told my father, Wei Benshu, that whoever holds the tiger talisman will be the new emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Great Emperor Jing and Zhang Caozhong changed.
Especially the 'Great Emperor Jing', he realized that Wei Feng set a trap just to lure him into it.
In front of all the civil and military officials, he personally acknowledged the existence of the tiger talisman.
To refute Wei Feng's words now would be to deny the existence of the tiger talisman.
He had taken off his clothes in public in the hall before, just to prove his identity, but he didn't expect to trip over a sentence.
Zhu Ni'ao frowned: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it have two kings.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no private soldiers and was personally appointed as the Crown Prince by His Majesty. Now that he holds the military command, he should become the new Emperor of Dajing.
But, Your Majesty is still alive, what should we do? ”
In his opinion, 'Emperor Da Jing' certainly does not want to give up power, otherwise he would not have done what he did today.
Zhu Ni'ao even felt that the whole incident was caused by the son's distrust of his father and the father's suspicion of his son.
The Great Emperor Jing wanted to chop Zhu Niao to pieces with a single blow.
In the past, he thought Zhu Niao was stupid and would leak information about anything in advance and then let him speak freely in the hall.
Whenever he scolded him a few times, Lord Zhang would take charge of everything, which saved him a lot of worry.
Little did he know that years later, the boomerang would land on him.
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Now that everyone is here, it's time to let the civil and military officials know the truth."
"Bring the man up."
Not long.
A man and a woman, about thirty years old, walked quickly into the hall.
The man's name is Zhao Gu and the woman's name is Liu Juan.
The two knelt in the hall, and Xiao Jingzhou whispered, "Just tell the truth."
Liu Juan kowtowed and said, "I am the Liu family's child bride, and the one who delivered Emperor Jing was my mother-in-law Liu.
My mother-in-law delivered twins.
The elder brother was born with half of his ribs missing from his chest, but the younger brother was intact. ”
After hearing these words, all the civil and military officials looked at each other and whispered to each other.
They didn't see any flaws on the 'Great Emperor' just now.
Zhang Caozhong sneered: "You are an ignorant village woman, how dare you criticize the emperor? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
He thought Liu Juan would be scared, but he didn't expect Liu Juan to spit at him.
Liu Juan angrily cursed: "You dog official!"
Zhang Caozhong had never suffered such a great humiliation, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to kill Liu Juan.
Liu Juan retracted her gaze and continued, "More than ten years ago, my mother-in-law suddenly got a sum of money, and she asked me to go to the street to buy cloth to make new clothes.
When I returned home, I saw a huge fire in my house and all three members of my family were dead. ”
"I remembered my mother-in-law talking about twins, so I took note of it. I never expected that the three of us would die because of this secret."
Liu Juan was not hysterical, but her trembling voice made it clear that she was trying to control her emotions.
Lord Zhu asked, "How did you escape?"
Liu Juan: "I left home before dawn, and the bad guys thought the whole family was inside.
What's more, I am not originally from Liujia Village. I fled to Liujia Village and have not yet registered my household registration there. ”
Zhao Gu said: "I am the son of Zhao Taiyi's family, and I can prove that what she said is true."
Doctor Zhao was the imperial physician in the palace and was also the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
That year, Imperial Physician Zhao followed Your Majesty into battle, but unfortunately died.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Jing ordered a grand funeral for Doctor Zhao.
Unfortunately, when Mrs. Zhao heard the news, she became depressed and died soon after.
Zhao Gu: "That year, my wife was invited to the palace and drank a glass of wine in Concubine Zhang's palace. From then on, she coughed up blood every day.
The lady was murdered! ”
Zhao Gu said indignantly: "Before leaving, Madam gave me something and told me to keep it well."
He took out a picture and said, "This is the acupuncture point map that I drew for your majesty."
Zhao Gu unfolded the drawing and marked the missing ribs with a vermilion pen.
Many civil and military officials were familiar with Imperial Physician Zhao.
"This is Doctor Zhao's handwriting. I recognize it!"
Zhao Gu continued, "That half rib is obvious on a young child, but it becomes invisible as he grows up and has more flesh."
When the Great Emperor took off his clothes, he was almost skin and bones, and not even a rib was visible.
All the civil and military officials believed what the two said, and their eyes kept wandering between 'Emperor Da Jing' and Xiao Jingzhou.
Yan Gang stood in front of Zhang Caozhong and said condescendingly: "Your Majesty, where is it?"
Zhang Caozhong said stubbornly: "What's half a rib? It's easy to forge it, right?
Yan Gang, you actually believe in nonsense.
That's ridiculous. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Feng broke Zhang Caozhong's hand.
The next moment, 'Emperor Dajing' also screamed.
Eunuch Yuan was so scared that he peed his pants: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
He covered his face and cried, "That year, Your Majesty found your brother, Xiao Chi, at the border.
Your Majesty originally wanted to send him back to the capital, but unexpectedly he was seriously injured.
Zhang Ge Lao was afraid that if something happened, the group would be leaderless, so he asked Your Majesty's younger brother to take over. ”
However, their greed gradually grew, and when the real Emperor Xiao Mian was seriously injured, the two conspired to poison Xiao Mian.
After that, Zhang Caozhong took advantage of his position to deceive his superiors and subordinates.
It took three months for Xiao Chi to transform himself and return to the court as an emperor.
Eunuch Yuan: "I am afraid they will kill to silence the witnesses and deceive Queen Gu against their conscience.
I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Highness to spare my life for the sake of our past friendship! ”
Eunuch Yuan's words caused an uproar among those present.
Civil and military officials were filled with righteous indignation and cursed the eunuchs for daring to be accomplices of treason and evil.
There was a great noise in the hall, which lasted for a long time before it died down.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered: "Take them away, I will interrogate them thoroughly!"
