Chapter 213: Soldiers Surround the Palace of Nanyue
But no matter how the official roared, Hou Jing and the other two had no intention of paying any attention to him!
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden burst of hurried horse hoof sounds!
"Greetings, Commander!"
Hou Jing and the other two hurried forward, and Jia Cong walked directly to the door. The official Cheng shouted angrily, "Marquis of Guanjun? This is the palace of the King of Nanyue. Even if you are the Marquis of Guanjun, you can't act wild here..."
brush!
A flash of knife light flashed, and the head of Cheng Changli suddenly flew up... He died with his eyes open. I'm afraid Cheng Changli would never have thought that he would be beheaded right in front of the palace gate.
"I have received a secret report that a group of desperadoes are hiding in the palace of the King of Nanyue. Break in and search. No corner should be left untouched!"
"Jia Cong, how dare you! " An angry shout came from inside the mansion gate.
The second prince Li Wei came out with his men in a rage, "You dared to surround the palace without an imperial order. You are guilty of treason. You are so audacious, you deserve death! Now, I will go to the palace to see the emperor and see if you, Jia Cong, can keep your head."
Jia Cong walked forward with a sneer and fought side by side with Li Wei. He whispered, "Your Majesty, when a common man gets angry, blood will splatter five steps. Now your Majesty is bullying me, a champion marquis who is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Guess what I will do when I get angry? Your Majesty said that I am bold, so your Majesty might as well guess whether I dare to be bolder."
"For example, what if an assassin suddenly appeared and assassinated the prince? After all, if someone has the guts to assassinate His Majesty, you, a prince, are nothing, right?"
"How dare he! How dare he!" Li Wei roared in his heart.
The next moment, his pupils widened, and he suddenly realized that this time he was not targeting those people in the court in the past, but an invincible general who had fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses, a commander-in-chief who commanded tens of thousands of troops! If such a person really wanted to fight to the death with him, he would not even have a chance to survive.
At that time, even if the emperor beheaded Jia Cong to compensate for his life, what would be the point?
"Jia Cong, I am guilty of this incident! I shouldn't have plotted against you. As long as you retreat now, I will forgive you for surrounding the palace. Moreover, I can swear that I will never target you because of this matter." Li Wei said gritting his teeth.
"Your Highness is a man who knows when to advance and when to retreat, but it's too late now!" Jia Cong sneered, "Come on, enter the palace and search for the wanted criminal!"
"Jia Cong, you really want to fight to the death with me!" Li Wei shouted angrily. He didn't expect that even if he backed down, Jia Cong would still not give up. Aren't they just a few women? Is it worth a champion marquis to disregard his life and property?
"Lu Feng, search thoroughly. Don't let a single piece of paper go. If you miss anything, I will punish you!"
Lu Feng immediately obeyed the order and then rushed inside with his personal guards. The palace guards following behind Li Wei also came forward to meet them.
Lu Feng glanced at Jia Cong, and heard Jia Cong say calmly, "It is my duty to search for the wanted criminal. Anyone who interferes will be killed!"
"Set up the formation and kill!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Feng and his guards rushed over directly! In an instant, blood flowed like a river!
Hou Jing and Shi Ci looked at each other, and then personally led the troops to rush in and fought side by side with Lu Feng and others! These guards of the palace can bully ordinary people, not to mention compared with Lu Feng and others, even compared with the current soldiers of the military department, they are far behind.
Soon, half of the two or three hundred guards of the palace died.
"Stop, stop for me!" Li Wei's eyes were bloodshot. "Jia Cong, don't regret it! Get out of their way, let them search, and someone will make the decision for me then!"
…
In the palace, Emperor Longxing, who had just come off court, was resting with his eyes closed in the back hall of Longshou Palace. Today was a rare day with less things to do, so he took a break.
Suddenly, Xia Shouzhong rushed in and whispered in Emperor Longxing's ear for a while.
brush!
Emperor Longxing stood up suddenly and said, "What did you say? Not only did he slaughter the families of several petty officials, but he also surrounded the palace with soldiers? What does this bastard want to do?"
"No, this bastard doesn't know his limits. What happened?"
Xia Shouzhong stepped forward and explained the whole story in a low voice.
Emperor Longxing's face turned cold, "Second brother? What does he want to do? To suppress the champion marquis who was personally conferred by me to show his power? It's totally nonsense!"
"And that bastard, he dared to rashly mobilize troops in Shenjing and even surrounded the palace. Who gave him the courage? I really want to kick him a few times!"
Xia Shouzhong lowered his head and rolled his eyes, thinking that his emperor was too hypocritical.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. To be honest, the Marquis of Guanjun was indeed a bit rash in this matter. However, it is enough to show how much the Marquis cares about his family!"
At this point, Xia Shouzhong bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say a few more words. The Marquis has not been loved by his biological mother since he was a child. He must have been cautious all the way. In the mansion, only these sisters treat him well. Therefore, even though he knew that it would anger Your Majesty, for the sake of these sisters, the Marquis still did it, just to vent his anger for his relatives."
"I think that the Champion Marquis is guilty, but he has extenuating circumstances!"
Emperor Longxing sneered, "You old man, what benefit did you get from that bastard? Why are you speaking for him in front of me?"
Xia Shouzhong smiled apologetically, "How dare I ask for any favors from the Marquis of Guanjun? I just think that the Marquis is not only loyal to Your Majesty, but also pure and honest, so I risked my life to say a few more words."
Emperor Longxing snorted coldly and ignored Xia Shouzhong. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go tell Tu Huai to keep an eye on that bastard and don't let him cause any more trouble! Also, since we need to catch a wanted criminal, he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, should also help catch him."
Xia Shouzhong immediately took the order and left!
"What a bastard !" After Xia Shouzhong left, Emperor Longxing cursed angrily, "You only know how to cause trouble, and I have to clean up your mess!"
At this time, Dai Quan came to the outside of the back hall and asked to see Emperor Longxing!
After being summoned by Emperor Longxing, Dai Quan entered the hall and kowtowed to the ground. "Your servant Dai Quan greets Your Majesty. The Emperor Emeritus asked me to pass on a message to Your Majesty!"
"What did Father say!"
"The Emperor said that the old Concubine Zhen is already in her 80s and might pass away someday. When she passes away, everything will be decided by Your Majesty."
Emperor Longxing's eyes narrowed. He really didn't expect that Jia Cong's disturbance would actually bring him such a huge benefit.
The Zhen family in Jiangnan was a thorn in the side of Emperor Longxing! However, the Zhen family was the retainers of the emperor emeritus. If there was no emperor emeritus, let alone the death of the old concubine, even if the emperor emeritus died, he would not be able to take direct action against the Zhen family in a short period of time.
And now the words of the retired emperor are undoubtedly a big gift to Emperor Longxing...
