Chapter 220 King Jian Rebelled
Yun Shiwei's heart skipped a beat, her legs went limp with fear, and she fell to her knees.
She cried, "Your Highness, what did I do wrong? There was thunder for two hours on the night of the Lantern Festival. I was right. My dream came true."
Chi Ming's murderous aura became stronger and stronger, and he asked sternly: "What else do you know? Tell me quickly, or I will kill you right now!"
Yun Shiwei was horrified and said in disbelief, "My Lord, how could you treat me like this?"
"I can help you, my lord."
Chi Ming frowned in annoyance and said impatiently: "Pull it away!"
Shu Feng quickly stepped forward, grabbed her arm and tried to drag her out.
Yun Shiwei was completely panicked, she knew that the Regent's reputation as a killing god was not unfounded.
"The subject says, the subject says!"
She hurriedly shouted, "My Lord, can you guarantee that my family is safe?"
Chi Ming's tone was cold and resolute: "My words are as good as gold. Either you confess or you die immediately!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Yun Shiwei was terrified to the extreme and revealed everything she knew without reservation.
Among them are the time of Yun Yizi's rebellion, the death of the regent, the death of the emperor, Yun Yizi's ascension to the throne, and so on.
Chi Ming listened very calmly, but Shu Feng was not calm anymore.
How could he accept the fact that the prince died in battle?
"You're talking nonsense."
Yun Shi swore solemnly: "I didn't, what I said was all in my dream. Before long, Xirong and Nanzhao will join forces to attack Dongxi, and the prince will definitely lead the army in person."
They will also die from being shot by poisonous arrows.
"Shufeng, step back."
Shu Feng took two steps back unwillingly, wondering if he could avoid it if the prince didn't lead the army in person.
"I can spare the lives of you and your family. Please withdraw."
Yun Shiwei walked out of the main hall trembling with fear.
Then I saw a man dressed as a secret guard coming in hurriedly.
"My Lord, Prince Jian has rebelled."
Yun Shiwei was obviously stunned when she heard this, and then rushed back: "You mean Prince Jian? Which Prince Jian? Why would he rebel?"
There was no such thing in the previous life, there was only Yun Yizi’s rebellion.
Shu Feng couldn't help but ask back: "Did you dream about it?"
Yun Shiwei bit her lips tightly, her eyes evasive and somewhat helpless.
Why is this life so different from the previous one?
Chi Ming also noticed something and stared into her eyes: "Tell me if there is anything else that is different from your dream."
"Your servant..."
But facing Chi Ming's freezing gaze, she really didn't dare to lie.
"And Yun Yuyan and Bai Qinghuan are different."
Hearing Bai Qinghuan, Chi Ming also held the beads nervously, his palms were sweating.
"What's the difference?"
"Yun Yuyan did not have an affair with Chi Hanqing, but became a princess."
"Bai Qinghuan...Bai Qinghuan committed adultery with Li Chengze at the plum blossom viewing banquet held at the Princess's residence a year ago. She was expelled from home and drowned in the lake."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head. Bai Qinghuan was still alive, and the prince would definitely not believe what she said now.
The evil spirit in Chi Ming burst out. It was okay to say that he was dead, but it was not okay to say that Qing Huan was dead.
"What nonsense!"
Yun Shiwei knelt down again, "It happened in a dream. I don't know why it happened like this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will never lie."
"roll!"
Yun Shiwei crawled out of the Regent's Palace.
Shu Feng hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, if that's the case, then what Yun Shiwei said may not necessarily happen."
"The county lady is fine, please calm down!"
Yun Shiwei's words touched the prince's heart.
How can the prince not be angry?
Chi Ming took a deep breath for a long time before suppressing the anger in his heart.
I told myself over and over again that Qinghuan was still alive and well, she was fine, and she would be fine in the future.
It will be fine.
He wants to see Qinghuan now, right now.
Seeing this, Ming Yi hurried to catch up, telling them the news from the south on the way.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jian has openly raised his banner and started a rebellion!"
"What is it?"
"Clear the emperor's side."
"They announced to the public that the regent controlled the government, imprisoned the emperor, was cruel and merciless, treated the lives of ministers as worthless, and forced more than a dozen of his most trusted ministers to death. The gods and the people were angry, so God sent down thunderbolts."
"How many people?"
"There are currently three hundred thousand, no more, no less."
In just one day, King Jian's army marched towards the capital in a mighty manner, and more troops joined along the way.
The number of troops under his command has expanded to 300,000.
"Prince Jian has been unstoppable along the way, and his offensive has been swift and fierce. He has captured two prefectures in one day, and is now less than a thousand miles away from the capital."
If it is allowed to develop, once the capital is breached, there will be devastating losses and continuous war.
Chi Ming knew in his heart that those who joined King Jian's camp along the way must be Yun Yizi's private army, and Yun Yizi must be secretly instigating this.
In other words, Yun Yizi and Prince Jian have already joined forces.
Although the situation was urgent, Chi Ming did not panic.
I went to the farm to see Bai Qinghuan, and my anxiety was relieved a little.
Then he returned to the palace. When the emperor learned about this, he was extremely anxious:
"Raozhou and Hongzhou surrendered without a fight. How despicable!"
Chi Ming said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry. We have always been paying attention to Yun Yizhi's power in public, but the Yun family has been secretly planning for a hundred years. The hidden power is not something we can figure out at once."
"Three hundred thousand troops are approaching. Each of our provinces can only station 50,000 troops at most. It will take a long time to gather three hundred thousand troops!"
The emperor was so anxious that he pounded his pillow on the bed: "God wants to kill me, Dongxi."
Chi Ming pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Aren't they trying to purge the emperor's entourage? Immediately announce to the world that Zhuo Rui will be made the crown prince, and that he will be asked to assist in government affairs. He will be removed from the position of regent and thrown into the Heavenly Prison immediately to silence the world's gossips."
Then he curled his lips sarcastically:
"Without me as the regent, let's see what excuse they have for clearing out the emperor's entourage."
The emperor was shocked and shouted, "Chi Ming, you can't do that! Zhuo Rui is not my son at all, you know that!"
Chi Ming held his forehead helplessly: "Brother, this is a temporary solution, understand?"
Is this a poison? Has the brain been eaten by the poison?
He really worries about Dongxi.
After hearing this, the emperor's face turned red. He was indeed too flustered just now and his mind was not able to think straight.
"You're not really going to the prison, are you?"
Chi Ming was too lazy to even lift his eyelids: "What do you think?"
So, an hour later, the emperor issued an edict of repentance. The edict stated that the heaven had sent down thunder as punishment to express its dissatisfaction with the emperor. He would reflect deeply on himself and govern diligently in the future to satisfy heaven and the people.
At the same time, the fifth prince Chi Zhuorui was appointed as the crown prince to assist in government affairs.
The imperial edict to remove Chi Ming from the position of regent and throw him into the Heavenly Prison was also issued, and it was posted in the imperial edict to announce it to the world.
