Chapter 133: The Black Jade Case (16): The Last Struggle
Could it be that the Plum Blossom Gang killed the people inside? Bao Qing hurriedly asked the county lord to come out. What Bao Qing didn't expect was that the county lord looked like a child who was only about ten years old, and when he came out, he was trembling, and he should have received a lot of fright just now.
"Xiaguan Bao Qing, see the county lord!" Bao Qing hurriedly dismounted and arched his hand. Bao Qing thought that the county lord was at least in his thirties, but he thought that the county lord of the thirteen princes had married early. The daughter of the eleventh prince's family shouldn't be so young. Therefore, Bao Qing didn't want to hurt this innocent little county lord.
Sure enough, when the little county lord heard this, he cried with a wow, which made Bao Qing a little at a loss.
"Don't cry! What's going on inside, tell me quickly! Jin Wandao shouted.
When the little county lord heard this, his crying stopped, and he trembled with fright.
Bao Qing glared at Jin Wandao, squatted down, and asked in a soft voice, "Little county lord, tell me, what's going on inside?" What about your father? Later, I will take you to your father. ”
The child can indeed be coaxed, but the little county lord sobbed in a low voice and did not answer.
Bao Qing thought about it, the princess and the palace guards should have been killed by the Plum Blossom Gang, and it was inconvenient for him to force the little county lord to answer, but the body of the eleventh prince was not among them.
At this moment, a fast horse came galloping from a distance.
Bao Qing frowned, thinking in his heart, afraid that something would happen again.
"My lord, General Cao sent a message that the eleventh prince is fighting with General Cao in front of the Zichen Palace!"
I really didn't expect that this eleven prince would personally bring people into the palace to rebel, and his little people can succeed? Bao Qing is most worried about Zhanzhao now, if Zhanzhao doesn't escort him in time, there will be a big mess.
Bao Qing had no choice but to hurry to the palace with his men and horses.
"Zhao Zhen is dead! Don't rebel in vain! At this time, someone in the rebels shouted.
Bao Qing had just arrived, and before he could talk to Cao Xi, he suddenly heard this and almost fell off his horse.
What about Zhanzhao? It's impossible, if Renzong really dies, Zhanzhao can't die!
"your mother's fart, Your Majesty is safe and sound! Your plan will not succeed, so don't disarm and surrender quickly! Later, the forbidden army will enter the palace and see what happens to you. Cao Xi scolded.
Suddenly, a man in gorgeous clothes came out of the rebels, his temples were gray, his face was quite weathered, and he looked dignified.
"Master Cao, you don't have to intimidate, to tell you the truth, the forbidden army camp can't enter the city at all. Besides, this king is only afraid that many ministers and generals in the court are watching. You may also know that the army of the Nine Princes has swept across the border, and all the troops have surrendered. Now I'm afraid it's going to hit Mozhou. This king's move is just following the trend. When Bao Qing heard this, he knew that this person was the eleventh prince.
"You! General Li's army has already rushed to Mozhou, and the last time the old man and General Li fought on the border, you and the Liao people were defeated, so it's okay. Cao Xi shouted loudly.
It turned out that Li Qing was also a general, but he didn't expect that the Nine Princes would be killed in Mozhou so quickly.
"It's ridiculous, Marquis Cao doesn't blush when he lies, the eloquence of the Nine Princes is probably beyond the reach of you people. Last time you won by luck, could it be the credit of you and that Li Qing? Will these Cao Hou Ye know in his heart? When Marquis Cao was abandoned by the imperial court, didn't he complain at all? Ha ha! ”
"You!" Cao Xi couldn't answer.
"Why is the prince so sure that the forbidden army can't enter the city? And why are you sure that Your Majesty is dead? The prince wants to laugh, and I want to laugh too! Ha ha! Bao Qing suddenly shouted.
"You are?" The eleventh prince was a little puzzled.
"Bao Qing, you're finally here! I, Cao Xi, don't deserve to say that I defeated you, he is finally green, right? "Cao Xizheng doesn't know how to solve the situation. Seeing that Bao Qing had arrived, he hurriedly said happily.
"Bao Qing?" The eleventh prince had a dark heart in his heart, this person's name was not often heard by the ninth prince.
"Lord Wang! I will also tell you the truth, Your Majesty is alive and well, and I asked my subordinates to save Your Majesty! Your conspiracies and tricks, I Bao Qing has long been insightful. Your Majesty has already taken precautions, and everything is in vain. Bao Qing shouted confidently.
Seeing this, Cao Xi was relieved, so he laughed.
"The old man just said! With Bao Qing's shot, he will definitely be able to save His Majesty! That's right......" Cao Xi suddenly remembered that he didn't ask Bao Qing to save the driver, but asked him to save his daughter Cao Qian. Thinking that he almost said that Bao Qing saved his daughter, he couldn't help but immediately shut his mouth.
The eleventh prince's face was extremely ugly, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"Don't you believe it? Then I'll talk slowly and listen to the prince! "Bao Qing can't help it now, in terms of troops, Cao Xi's soldiers can't catch up with the eleventh prince, plus the eleventh prince just now said that the official family is dead, this army's heart is shaken, and it is a matter of time before it is defeated. All that can be done now is drag. Looking forward to Zhanzhao's success, there are also forbidden troops who hurry into the city.
"Is the prince thinking, is the Taoist priest who does things already successful? Did you find a fake Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain to assassinate Your Majesty? Bao Qing said slowly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Cao Xi and Lu Yijian and the others behind him were all stunned.
Except for the eleventh prince's face that was a little pale, Lu Yi, Jian Fan, Zhongyan and others all turned pale. But the difference is that the eleventh prince was exposed because of a trick. But Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan and others thought that the official family might really be assassinated.
Because Lu Yijian knew that Bao Qing was lying, and it was an afterthought. This Bao Qing must have just learned of this conspiracy. Only then did he hurry from outside the palace, but it was obviously too late. Because they all know that just last night, the fighting ghost that Qin Tianjian said said that the fake Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain had already entered the palace to face the saint.
"Actually, the prince didn't need to work so hard. The prince really tried his best to find a broken stone with a curse and pretended to dedicate it to His Majesty! And the stone will slowly kill the owner. ”
"You know that, too?" The eleventh prince couldn't help but ask.
"I know more than that. Okay, I'll convince you of the loss! The stone is called Linglong Black Jade, and it comes from the Western Regions. Just a few days ago, you sent someone to Mozhou to steal this exquisite black jade. I also know that the person who stole this exquisite black jade is named Jia Ren, and it turned out to be a head catcher in Mozhou! ”
"You!" The eleventh prince was shocked.
"What? Didn't I say enough? The prince mobilized many clan relatives to donate, nominally to share the worries of His Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, he wanted to hide his conspiracy to offer exquisite black jade. You may not have thought that His Majesty would actually give the exquisite black jade to Chen Meiren, which eventually led to a tragedy in the beauty palace. And this is the origin of the plague that is now prevalent in the palace! I also told you that Kaifeng Mansion has arrested all the clansmen who offered treasures. ”
The eleventh prince's face was pale, he paused for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were full of blood, and he shouted: "Okay! What a bag! Now that you know it all, this king has nothing to say! Becoming a king or defeating a king, it's not a pity for this king to die, come on! Kill all these so-called loyal ministers to this king! ”
When Bao Qing heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, so he was annoyed and angry, and he was ready to make a last fight.
So Bao Qing hurriedly shouted: "Stop, don't be a senseless chess piece!" ”
Seeing this, the eleventh prince shouted: "How can you say that the chess pieces, this king is willing." ”
"Lord Wang, why do you have to help the Nine Princes rebel? Your Majesty is the orthodox of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that he has never treated you badly! Bao Qing hurriedly asked.
"Have you ever been wronged? Ha ha! This king is a relative of Taizong, and he has no intention of competing for any imperial throne. Why do you want to keep this king and other brothers in captivity, every time you say that your heart is frightened, any dog official in Bianjing City can bully this king. Is this called not being treated badly? ”
"This? That's not right! Why can the Nine Princes do whatever they want? Isn't he also a prince? Could it be that the prince is so miserable? Bao Qing was a little puzzled, and turned to look at Cao Xi.
Seeing this, Cao Xi hurriedly explained: "The Nine Princes are licensed by the Queen Mother!" But Your Majesty has never embarrassed the prince, right? ”
Only then did Bao Qing understand that he was afraid that the Nine Princes would make a lot of efforts to make the official family take the throne back then, so he got this privilege.
"The fate of this king, just look at the thirteenth brother who was killed by Zhao Zhen, don't talk nonsense! Kill this king! ”
