"Your Majesty, there are two groups of people in front of us that are in a stalemate. It seems that the Sixth Prince's men have surrounded the Crown Prince's Guards!"
Emperor Wen was reading a book leisurely in the imperial carriage when Zhou Dai suddenly came close to report.
"What?"
Emperor Wen suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
Just one look and Emperor Wen was furious.
These two rebellious sons!
What are they going to do?
I'm not dead yet!
They turned on each other?
Has the rebellious son Laoliu forgotten my instructions?
...
...
Emperor Wen was furious and immediately ordered Zhou Dai: "Go, separate their people! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
Emperor Wen was really angry this time.
Don’t these two rebellious sons care about the royal family’s reputation at all?
In a rage, Emperor Wen yelled at Mu Shun again: "Tell those two rebellious sons to get out of here!"
After saying this, Emperor Wen quickly stepped down from the imperial carriage.
Soon, Yun Zheng and Yun Li came before Emperor Wen.
"Your son pays respect to His Majesty, Father."
They both saluted.
"Father?"
Emperor Wen roared like an angry lion, "Do you still have respect for me, your father?"
"Father, please calm down."
Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen with an innocent look on his face, "I am just following your father's orders."
"Order?"
Emperor Wen was still furious, "When did I give you an order?"
Yun Zheng had no choice but to tell Yun Li about what he said about him rebelling.
He also swore that those people could testify.
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen's eyes suddenly fell on Yun Li, "Is what Lao Liu said true?"
"Your son...your son has spoken out of turn!"
Yun Li lowered his eyebrows and explained, "I saw that my sixth brother secretly sent troops to the pass, and I was furious, so I said the wrong thing."
"Moving troops into the pass?"
Emperor Wen's face suddenly became cold. "Sixth Brother, won't you give me an explanation? How dare you send troops into the pass without an imperial order? Let alone your third brother, I also want to ask you, are you planning to rebel?"
"Father, I am leading the army to suppress the rebellion!"
Yun Zheng still had that innocent expression on his face. "I received a secret report from my spies saying that Zhao Ji had dispatched troops to the valley northwest of Sifang County. I was afraid that Zhao Ji would harm my father and my third brother, so I dispatched troops to quell the rebellion!"
"fart!"
Yun Li angrily shouted: "Who said Zhao Ji..."
"etc!"
Emperor Wen stopped Yun Li and asked with a cold face, "Isn't Zhao Ji in the northwest? Why did he bring his troops here? How come I didn't know that Zhao Ji brought his troops here?"
Faced with Emperor Wen's questioning, Yun Li was instantly speechless.
How could it be possible that father didn't know that Zhao Ji brought troops here?
But no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he couldn't tell Yun Zheng in front of him that Emperor Wen knew about this!
If they said this, there would be no room for maneuver between them and Yun Zheng!
Right now, someone between the father and son must take responsibility.
Otherwise, it would prove that Zhao Ji had mobilized troops privately.
If that happened, Zhao Ji would really be a rebel!
Once Zhao Ji is identified as a rebel, the 10,000 troops in Zhao Ji's hands will definitely be swallowed up by Yun Zheng!
Moreover, Yun Zheng was credited with suppressing the rebellion.
what to do?
On the left is a mountain of swords and on the right is a sea of fire!
What explanation can I give now to get over this matter?
Even if everyone knows the truth, at least we have to find a decent reason!
"say!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li, "Who asked Zhao Ji to lead his army here? Who gave Zhao Ji the courage to mobilize troops without permission?"
Facing Emperor Wen's gaze, Yun Li wanted to die.
Of course he understood that Emperor Wen wanted him to take responsibility for this matter.
But he doesn't want to carry it!
If I take on this responsibility, it will be easier for that bastard Lao Liu to make use of it!
But if he didn't hold on, Zhao Ji's 10,000 elite cavalry would be gone, and he would suffer as well.
Whether he can bear it or not, he will be in trouble!
After hesitating for a long time, Yun Li stammered, "Yes...it was I who ordered Zhao Ji to lead the army here..."
I can only bear it!
Fortunately, my father knew about this matter in advance and agreed to it.
Now all they need to do is give Yun Zheng an explanation.
At least I don’t have to worry about being punished by my father afterwards.
"You are so brave!"
Emperor Wen was furious. "Tell me, how did you mobilize Zhao Ji's troops? When did you collude with Zhao Ji?"
“No, no…”
Yun Li waved his hands repeatedly and bowed his head, saying: "This son did not collude with Zhao Ji. This son... This son accidentally picked up the gold medal dropped by my father a few days ago..."
"Picked it up?"
Yun Zheng's eyes flashed coldly, "Third brother, do you think I am a fool? You can even pick up my father's gold medal?"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen angrily again: "Father, this gold medal is not given to my third brother by you, right? I risked my life to expand the territory for the great cause, but you treat me like this? Do you want to kill me?"
"I definitely did not give the gold medal to your third brother! Don't worry, I will give you an explanation!"
Emperor Wen comforted Yun Zheng and looked at Yun Li with a cold face: "Tell me, what's going on?"
This idiot!
How can you say something like you found a gold medal?
Why doesn't he go pick up millions of taels of gold?
This is something that everyone knows, so if you want to shoulder it, you have to shoulder it well.
How can it be possible to take on responsibilities without being willing to take the blame?
I had advised him not to have that idea before, but he refused to listen.
Now that something has happened, how can it be so easy to distance yourself from the matter?
Faced with the double questioning from Emperor Wen and Yun Zheng, Yun Li suddenly felt miserable in his heart.
He knew that he had to endure it.
If you don't stand up, you won't even be able to save your face.
Yun Li knelt on the ground with a thud, burying his head tightly, "Yes... I stole it! Before, the emperor went to Shuobei, and I was afraid that he might get into trouble, so I stole the gold medal in advance and ordered Zhao Ji to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to prevent any accidents..."
Yun Li is still a little clever.
Even though no one would believe this, it is at least a reasonable reason.
No matter what, it's better than saying that he wanted to take the opportunity to detain Yun Zheng!
"Third brother, third brother, you are really good at making up stories!"
Yun Zheng shook his head. "You and I both know what's going on! If time is tight and you don't have time to come up with a better excuse, I can give you more time to come up with a better excuse!"
"Alright!" Emperor Wen raised his hand to stop Yun Zheng. "Your third brother was indeed wrong in this matter! So, I will ask your third brother to apologize to you! As for him stealing my gold medal, I will settle the account with him!"
"Father, you are clearly trying to protect my third brother!"
Yun Zheng's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "Third brother clearly wants my life! If father cannot deal with him fairly, I don't mind taking third brother's head back to Shuobei and never setting foot inside the Great Wall again! This will also prevent father and the court officials from worrying about my rebellion!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng suddenly burst into a strong murderous intent...
