Stigma

The emperor was stunned for a long time, sat down unsupported by his legs, and said with difficulty: "You...what did you say?"

His eyes were unbelievable.

Duan Zhisu looked at him indifferently, as if returning to the time when the previous emperor was dead.

At that time, the emperor was dying and was able to hold the overall situation firmly in his hands. He did not leave Sui Yan a way out-although Sui Yan didn't want to fight him alive.

Duan Zhisu repeated: "Erchen said, the fifth emperor's brother Duan Xichen, it was my collusion with the second emperor's brother to murder that caused him to die in such a tragic way."

As expected: "..."

Duanzhisu lightly fluttered and dragged Duan Ruwang down the water, without any discoloration on the surface, as if it was just the casual greetings during daily conversations.

Duan Ruwang looked at Duan Zhisu, and finally smiled softly.

After a wave of unresolved waves, the emperor smirked, clutching his chest and coughing a few times before sternly: "You two...Did you put me in your eyes?! Brothers' cannibalism, you guys? It can be done too, you guys...cough!"

Duan Zhisu had no expression on his face, and said: "Since the father wants to turn over the old things, just turn it over. Anyway, when the fifth emperor was framed by the second emperor, the punishment was very light. The son is guilty, then It is an indisputable fact that Brother Second Emperor and I murdered the brothers together, so it's better for the father to punish him at the same time now."

As expected: "..."

Duan Ruwang originally wanted to sit and watch the tiger fight, but he didn't expect to be bitten by Duan Zhisu. After a moment, he tilted his head and smiled again.

He stood up, did not kneel down, and said indifferently: "It is a fact that I caused medicinal incense to harm the Five Emperor Brothers. Back then, my father's punishment also made me suffer enough. But when I got to the Three Emperor Brothers, it became a'extreme punishment'. Lighter?"

The emperor pressed his chest and looked at them with a gloomy face.

Sui Yan was already drowsy. At this moment, seeing such a good show of dog biting, he pinched his thigh desperately to keep himself awake.

Duan Mingchong: "Hi..."

Sui Yan tilted his head: "Excuse me, pinch hurts you?"

Duan Mingchong whispered: "It doesn't hurt, you're safe, we'll leave right away."

Sui Yan groped his random hand on his thigh in a daze, pinched gently to keep himself awake, and whispered: "Wait, I want to watch a good show."

The two murmured, ignoring the complex looks of the ministers on the side.

Duan Zhi said calmly: "This matter is not over, Brother Erhuang just crossed the river and demolished the bridge, am I afraid that I will also shake out the matter of the former Nanjiang princess?"

As soon as this sentence was said, the officials were in an uproar, and even Duan Mingchong and Sui Yan didn't even look at it.

Duan Ruwang’s lips smiled with a weird smile, and said, “Three Emperors, everyone knows that it’s better for you to forget to return when you were young. Pull me into the water, right?"

Resolutely smiling but not smiling: "The second emperor brother said that."

The emperor had no strength to stand up at this time. He threw down the pen holder beside him and said angrily: "Thank you! You say! What is going on with the princess of Nanjiang?!"

Duan Zhisu looked cold, and said: "Your Majesty may wish to think about what friendship Sui An Hou has with the princess of Nanjiang, and what does it have to do, why would the princess of Nanjiang find a powerless and powerless master Hou to plot to kill the king. Things?"

Sui Yan was confused when he heard it, but he still held his grudges resolutely: Say I am dude, okay, wait for you for me.

"Moreover, the former princess lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a few years, and was brought back to the capital by the second emperor brother." Duan Zhisu said, "That woman is not stupid. Lord, whoever can help her achieve great things, I believe anyone with a discerning eye can see it in their hearts."

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, his expression incontrovertible.

Duan Ruwang smiled and said: "What reason do I have to kill Your Majesty?"

Duan Zhisu asked, "Then Forget Gui has any reason for murdering His Majesty who has protected him for many years?"

It's just the word "shelter", he said vaguely gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of uncontrollable coldness and hostility.

Duan Ruwang smiled and said, "That's a lot of reasons."

He glanced vaguely at the prince who was holding Sui Yan tightly.

Duan Mingchong was too lazy to pay attention to them, his eyes didn't separate a trace, all of them were on Sui Yan.

"If there is a reason to kill the king," Duan Zhisu looked at Duan as hopeful, "Isn't it true that Brother Erhuang doesn't?"

Duan Ruwang's eyes froze, and somewhat coldly raised his head to look at Emperor Beilan on the dragon chair.

The emperor was also taken aback when he heard Duan Zhisu's words.

Duan Zhisu still had that cold face: "The second emperor's mother and concubine were from the former dynasty of Southern Xinjiang, and when Beilan fought the battle with Southern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang suffered heavy losses, and several princes died in battle. , Was taken advantage of the vacancy and seized the main city. After the battle report was passed to the capital, Nanjiang had already changed the dynasty. It was said in the palace that the empress could not be irritated, and she was directly hanged by a white silk in the palace."

No matter what Duan Zhisu said, Duan Ruwang didn't change its color. At this time, his face suddenly sank, and his eyes stared at Duan Zhisu sternly, "Shut up!"

Duan Zhisu was unmoved: "Although Brother Erhuang has never said this in the past years, in fact, he has always thought that he was a majesty who gave him death."

As expected: "You..."

Duan Zhisu said, "Isn't this a reason?"

Duan Ruwang looked at him almost sternly, but did not deny it.

The emperor stared blankly, struggling to stand up again.

He was so frightened that he didn't notice it for a while. I don't know when his only three sons no longer called his father.

The emperor Xu was anxious, but for a while, he couldn't get the slightest anger in his heart. The depression and weakness rushed to his heart, making him feel exhausted to breathe.

He shook his hands, pointed to Duan Ruwang, and said in a astringent voice: "Ruwang... Over the years, how do you think about me?"

Duan Ruwang’s face was full of weird gloom. He looked directly into the emperor’s muddy eyes, and directly recognized: "Is it right? Your Majesty, since I was a child, I know what to say and what not to say. , Do you want me to tell you all about what I saw that night when the battle report was delivered to the capital?"

The emperor looked at him blankly.

Duan Ruwang said coldly: "The father himself taught the children, and discarded useless chess. I never gave you that position. What I want from the beginning to the end is that everyone can't be peaceful."

Duan Zhisu did not know when he had already stood up and stood aside looking at the carved incense burner, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the emperor heard Duan Ruwang talking about that year, his whole person seemed to be many years old.

The civil and military forces of Manchuria were all staring at him. This was the first time he had sat in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord with trepidation.

After a long time, he closed his eyes slightly and said with difficulty: "This matter..."

Everyone looked at him.

"Full power is at the disposal of the prince."

After saying this, he struggled to sit up, shaken off the support of the palace man, and staggered out of the front hall.

The officials looked at each other.

Suixun closed his eyes slightly and heaved a sigh of relief.

Duan Mingchong winked at Tong Suixun, and then he picked up the dizzy Sui Yan and quickly walked towards the East Palace.

Suixun looked at Duan Ruwang and Duan Zhisu, sighed without a trace, and said to Dali Temple: "My lord, your Royal Highness still has important things to do, so I'll leave it to you here."

Dali Temple Qing originally had a good personal relationship with Ruwang, and was suddenly smashed into a mess. After a long time, he asked the two to go down with a complicated expression.

Song Xian, who was so anxious and almost jumping, gave a soothing look, turned around and left freely.

Duan Ruwang stood there stiffly for a while before closing his eyes and turning away.

Not long afterwards, the whole Hall of Supreme Harmony was empty. Gann and he wanted to stay at the same age to talk, but as soon as Xiu Xi was taken away, he didn't care about anything, and immediately ran away with tears in his eyes.

After Suixun took care of the rest, he walked slowly out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Outside the palace gate, a few lieutenants stood by, seeing Suixun coming out from a distance, and immediately greeted him.

"General."

"How is the young master? Is it convicted?"

Several people were all pressed on the hilt of the knife around their waists, their expressions stern.

Suixun shook his head and said softly, "Nothing."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were relieved.

Suixun tilted his head slightly, glanced at the direction of the gate of Beijing, and let out a sigh of relief.

Above a piece of wilderness in the capital, the flag of the year floated like a silver-white army with a scabbard and a sharp blade, ready to go, and with only one command, it can desperately flatten the prosperity of the capital.

"Retreat."

"Yes."

East Palace.

Yu Doctor Meng had been waiting for a long time, and seeing Sui Yan burnt in a daze, he rushed to pour him a little bit of **** tea that had been prepared.

Duan Mingchong was trembling in a hurry. Seeing Yu Yu Physician Meng gently administer the injection, Sui Yan was trembling in a daze, wishing to replace him.

The dark guard came from outside and saluted: "Your Highness, the city defense army has been changed, and the forbidden army has also withdrawn."

Duan Ming Chong said: "I see."

The previous emperor died in Fengxing in thirty-nine years, only two or three years away. He was suffering from the trivial affairs of the Manchus and his health was too early. Since the prince entered the court to hear the government, he has gradually handed over all the affairs of the court to Duan Ming Chong. To deal with.

Duan Mingchong had already been wary four years ago, and the emperor Xu felt that his wings were gradually plump, and he allowed the prince to fight in the middle of the Chaozhong Ming and secretly, holding back each other, which also made it convenient for Duan Ming. Chong secretly wins over the new ministers of the DPRK.

Today it is just that although there is no big wave, but the dark tide is surging, and one step may be a big difference.

Duan Mingchong ordered all the ending matters to go down, and was about to go back to see Sui Yan, the first palace person hurried over, looking anxious, and said: "His Royal Highness, Master Song Xian is waiting outside, saying that there is something important to see Your Highness."

Duan Mingchong said coldly: "No."

Palace person: "But..."

Duan Mingchong was about to shake his hand to leave, and there was a lot of noise and confusion outside. He looked back, and Song Xian rushed in unexpectedly.

Song Xian was a heavy minister in the court, and the guards of the East Palace didn't dare brute force to stop him when he saw him break in directly.

Duan Mingchong looked on with cold eyes.

When Song Xian saw Duan Mingchong, he pushed the attendant who was holding him away, walked a few steps quickly, and knelt on the ground.

"His Royal Highness, please tell me about it!"

Duan Mingchong looked at him condescendingly, with cold eyes in his eyes: "Who are you asking Gu for mercy?"

"His Highness." Song Xian straightened up his waist, sweat on his forehead, and said anxiously, "I serve as a student to the Third Highness. I grew up together since I was a child. I know that the Third Highness will never do this. I hope His Highness will see The Third Highness is for the sake of forgetting to return, and his men are merciful..."

Duan Mingchong was silent for a long time before saying: "He took the initiative to find the lonely."

Song Xian was taken aback, his eyes widened in amazement.
