318 The end of the road

"The sinner knows that his sins are unforgivable, and now this is not the same." Xie Rong kowtowed to the ground, raised his body, and said, "The sinner helped Zhou to abuse him and failed to live up to the emperor's cultivation. Now he knows that the fault is very deep. If he does not report it, the sin will be deeper.

"Ji Zhenyuan is the teacher of the guilty minister, and he has a lot of help to the minister, which is undeniable. However, the emperor once taught the guilty minister. Before the minister was Ji Zhenyuan's servant, he was first of all the people of Dayin. The emperor's minister had difficulties and was responsible. I did not dare "

The emperor's face was cold, "I don't need your painstaking efforts. I have at least a dozen copies of such criminal evidence! Xie Rong, at this time, I knew to come to plead guilty. What did you do earlier? You set up a conspiracy to frame Yin Yu, and cooperated with Ji Zhenyuan to disturb the imperial court. Now that you are dying, you come to beat around the bush and beg me to forgive you. What do you think I am!"

"Your Majesty!" Xie Rong lost his voice, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal did not know anything about Ji Zhenyuan's conspiracy before, and he heard a little about the transportation case, but he never knew that the amount involved was so huge! My emperor, the sinner is willing to assist Wei Gelao and others to thoroughly investigate this case!"

"Do you think you still have a choice?"

The emperor stood up and said, "Xie Rong, the time has passed when you have sinned! What is waiting for you now is a dead end! It's true that you won't die with your attitude today, but you can't take a step into the official career in your life!"

"Your Majesty! I still have something to say!" Xie Rong stood up and stared at him closely: "I know Cao An's hiding place!"

The emperor stood on Danqi and didn't move for a long time.

Xie Rong calmed down and waited for his reaction.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, but I am willing to lead the Duke of Protector to Cangzhou to capture Cao An and Tong Fen in person. I know their landing point! I only ask the emperor to allow the sinners to make contributions and save the official position!"

The emperor stared at him and did not move.

Xie Rong gradually became calm, and his expression was no longer flustered, but very patient.

"Impossible." After a long time, the emperor took over Danqi, came to him and said, "I don't want to be coerced!" Since you know Cao An's landing point, you have to go, if you don't go, you have to go!" After saying that, he turned his head and said, "Come on! Immediately pass on the protection of the country into the hall and escort Xie Rong to Cangzhou to capture Cao An and Tong Fen!"

A group of bodyguards rushed in from the door of the hall, and Xie Rong was going to take him down.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Rong knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am not coercion!" I only asked the emperor one sentence, do you want Yin Yu to be a grandson or not!"

When the emperor suddenly heard this sentence, his eyes became sharp.

Xie Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Weichen dare not measure the king's heart, but at this moment, I can't help but speak frankly. The emperor is wise and martial, and I will be in the palm of my hand in a flash. If the emperor intends to let Mr. Yin inherit the throne, then he will never let So did the emperor ever think that as soon as Ji Zhenyuan died and the Ji Dang was destroyed, who else in the dynasty could compete with the Huo family?

The emperor looked at him, and his sharp eyes suddenly became fierce.

But Xie Rong did not flinch and knelt on the ground and looked up at him.

There are not many people who dare to be so offended. Xie Rong is one.

The emperor rolled his head and said, "Get out of here."

The bodyguards walked away completely.

Xie Rong's face was still calm, but a drop of sweat flowed down his temple, formed a drop of water under his jaw, and fell on his skirt again.

"Contue to say it." The emperor looked at the curtain with his hands, and there was no joy or anger in his voice.

Xie Rong nodded and then said, "The Huo family's generations of loyalty are rare meritorious officials and generals in my dynasty, but no matter how loyal the ministers are, they will also have selfishness, and the interests of the family are their selfishness.

"They want to continue this glory forever, which can be seen from their strict self-discipline and strict governance. A family that is vigilant at all times is respectable and terrible. The prince has a deep relationship with the Huo family, and the prince is a affectionate person. If the prince inherits the throne, then no one can suppress the Huo family's limelight.

"In this case, either cut off the wings of the Huo family and turn them into rice worms of the court like the rest of the nobles. Or it can only be allowed to develop and become a mountain that cannot be pulled out in the Dayin Dynasty.

"And I think that the latter can't do it, and the former can't do it. There are Mongolia in the north of Dayin and Japanese bandits in the east. There are countless good generals in the Duke of the country, which is of great significance to the border defense of Dayin. Since it can't be removed or indulged, the only way is to give up Mr. Yin and choose another heir to the throne!"

"Are you suppressing the Duke of Protector, or are you provoking the love between me and Yin Yu?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"I have no intention of picking up, let alone provoking." Xie Rong said calmly, "I only start from reality and from the long-term interests of the country. Before Ji Zhenyuan committed a crime, he was the only one in the court who could compete with the Duke of Protector, but after this case was settled, no one in the court dared to speak directly to Wei Bin and the Duke of Protector. The guilty minister is no longer tolerated by Wei Huo and the two of them. I am willing to balance this bowl of water for the emperor!"

The emperor looked at him, and his eyes had changed from sharp to unpredictable depth.

Xie Rongping looked ahead and did not move.

This is his last chance. If the emperor's original mind is difficult to guess, then after this incident, it has become very clear. The emperor has the ability to turn his hands over the clouds and rain, which proves that he is not incapable of the position of Yin Yu's grandson. No matter who killed Yin Hao killed him, the reason why Yin Yu It's just that the emperor took the opportunity to acquiesced.

The reason why the emperor turned a blind eye to the fight between Ji Zhenyuan and Wei Bin was to suppress the Protector with Ji Zhenyuan. After the fall of Ji Zhenyuan, Wei Bin, who was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case this time, was bound to become a popular figure in the court. Wei Bin and the Protector of the Duke are one party. Isn Is the court unbalanced because of this?

He himself is not the main culprit. Even if he is demoted, as long as Yin Yu and others do not suppress him, he will not be able to use it forever. However, once the emperor died, it would be hard to say. Yin Yu and Xie Wan would definitely not give him a way to live. If he did not occupy a place in the court while the emperor was still alive, then he would really have no hope to come back in his life!

The room fell into silence, leaving only the curtain under the long window dancing gently in the wind. The scorching sun in July tilted to the floor tiles, making the dark place darker and the white place whiter, and the chaotic unknown place is the blurred light and shadow under the curtain.

"Even if what you said makes some sense, how can I rely on you?"

The emperor silently for a long time and slowly opened his lips. "You conspired with Ji Zhenyuan to commit wrong, set up a conspiracy to frame Yin Yu, and then kidnapped Xie Wan to commit blackmail. This is an unforgivable crime. You overestimate yourself, Xie Rong, I can't forgive you! - Come on! Take Xie Rong to prison and guard him strictly!"

"Your Majesty! Please think twice!"

Xie Rong kowtowed, "Even if I am guilty, I can make contributions to the emperor!" Please think twice!"

"Pull it down!"

The emperor waved his big sleeve and got on Danchi.

The news that Xie Rong was arrested and imprisoned immediately spread outside the palace, and then spread all over the capital at a very fast speed.

Xie Wan was speechless after hearing the news. She was not surprised that Xie Rong would end up like this, but was he really so willing to be detained? Even if the emperor had not changed his mind because of his demagogy, I'm afraid he would not give up like this.

But she can't intervene in this matter. Even if she can, she can't find an opportunity. They are all imperial prisoners, and even Yin Yu can't see them alone. Although Wei Bin and others can see them, can they still let Wei Bin poison him? If she had poisoned him, she would have done it many years ago, and she would not have to wait until today.

With Xie Rong's detention, the Duke of Protector soon went directly to Cangzhou according to the information he provided. It didn't take him two days to mention Cao An and Tongfen to the capital. The people in the Chinese military camp also divided their troops to the house of the perpetrators on this day.

The whole city of Beijing Zhili moved on this day, thousands of horses galloped, and the sound of iron hooves stepped through the streets and alleys. Yin Yu was temporarily appointed as General Wuwei, leading thousands of soldiers to be responsible for the seizure of all criminals.

When Ji Zhenyuan heard the news that Cao Jinxing and the two of them went to Beijing, he fell into a chair on the spot, and his mind was blank.

Since he heard that Xie Rong entered the palace, he knew that Zuo Bizhi's move had failed, and he also knew why Xie Rong entered the palace.

He used the report and exposing his crime as a means to protect himself. As a result, he was still dragged into the prison by the emperor. He should have celebrated, but he was not happy. Xie Rong's betrayal represented that his doomsday was coming. Now that Cao An has fallen, Tong Fen has been brought to justice. The net spread by the emperor has been collected, and he has nowhere to escape.

But he doesn't want to die. Although he has imagined that there will be today, he really doesn't want to die.

"Master! Master!"

Just as he was about to ask someone to call his family to come in and talk, the housekeepers ran all the way into the house and shouted all the way. Then many women and maids who followed him screamed one after another. A burst of chickens and dogs jumped, and heard the heavy footsteps. Yin Yu, dressed in golden armor, held a sword, Come on.

"Ji Zhenyuan takes the order!"

Jin Yong, who accompanied him, unfolded a yellow silk in his hand and read it out in a loud voice.

He couldn't hear what he was reading. He only saw Jin Yong's mouth closed one by one, with an incomparable arrogance. The soldiers behind Yin Yu had surrounded all over the house in several ways. In an instant, the shouting of women, the scolding of men, and the crying of children filled their ears like dense raindrops.

"... raids... all caught and imprisoned..."

Jin Yong's voice fluttered like the wind. Ji Zhenyuan lay on the ground and could not distinguish the reality of the dream. RS
