A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

Chapter 108: Coup

The Empress Dowager Wu was devoted to her grandson, and even refused to let King Jiang An go to the Ministry of Punishment to go through the scene. It happened that He Jing was also dissatisfied with the rumors during this period, so he simply went up to the wind and held a public banquet at the cusp of the storm, so that these people could see, even if they planned this assassination, so what?

For this reason, the Empress Dowager Wu also sent Eunuch Zhang, the most dignified person around her, to come out to pressure the scene. There were very few people in the harem of the former dynasty who did not know Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang was here, and it was no different from the Empress Dowager Wu in person.

King Jiang An was toasted a lot of wine, and his head became more and more dizzy. Eunuch Zhang saw that King Jiang An’s face was wrong and asked: “Prince King, do you want to serve you and go back to rest?”

King Jiang An agreed very much, but he looked at the person who was toasting in front of him, and felt a little sorry. Eunuch Zhang got the answer, turned around, and immediately lost the grovelling he had when facing King Jiang An, and became bossy: “The prince doesn’t want to drink anymore, you all go back.”

“King Jiang An’s health is very important, and his subordinates dare not forgive him.” No one dares to offend King Jiang An, who offends King Jiang An is to offend the Queen Mother Wu, even if he is humiliated now, he can only He accepted it with a smile, and respectfully sent King Jiang An away.

Prince Jiang An was accompanied by Eunuch Zhang and left, but Princess Hejing was still at the table. Her eyes are drunk, charming and sultry, and it is the time to be proud. The maid quietly came over to report: “The county master, the county king is drunk and has gone back to rest now.”

He Jing nodded: “Okay. You are waiting for your life, don’t be neglected. Also, remember to prepare your things, and watch the person serving you drink it afterwards.”

He Jing is relieved. Her younger brother is going to do big things, and in the future he will marry a noble wife from a noble family. One accident is enough, Hejing will never allow another accident to happen.

After dismissing the maid, someone else bothered her with trivial matters. Hejing said impatiently: “It’s already curfew, who else will post? If I send them out, how can anyone come to my banquet?”

A chuckle came from outside the hospital: “Cousin is so merciless.”

This voice! He Jing looked startled, and the drunkenness in her eyes dissipated like a low tide. She couldn’t help standing up and looked towards the courtyard door.

There are still many people in the banquet room at the moment, and the graceful dancer is still spinning rapidly in the center. At this moment, the people in the flower hall saw Hejing stand up quite complacently, and the expressions on their faces were also very wrong. They felt strange, and they all stopped to ask what happened. The flower hall, which was still noisy just now, miraculously quieted down.

The dancer also stopped, standing in the middle of the room at a loss. Everyone looked out with He Jing’s eyes, only to see a blurry shadow crossing the threshold and slowly walking under the lantern.

The dim light shone on the other person’s face, and the flower hall immediately burst out with ups and downs of exclamation: “Princess Ganning!”

“She’s not dead?”

Everyone was in shock. Anyone who was still in the mood to drink now put down their wine glasses, stood up and stepped aside, waiting for things to develop. He Jing’s face was already extremely ugly. She threw off her wide sleeves and said, “Why didn’t you notify my aunt when your niece is coming? You come here uninvited, but it seems like a rudeness to me as an elder.”

Rong Ke walked slowly into the flower hall, and as Rong Ke approached, the others automatically stepped aside and split a path from the middle.

She was wearing a black wide-sleeved deep-dress with red embroidered patterns on the cuffs and skirt. This kind of dress was solemn and deep, but Rong Ke was so young, white as jade, with beautiful eyebrows , Under the extreme collision, there is an indescribable beauty.

As soon as Rong Ke appeared, He Jing clearly felt the pressure doubled, as if the weight of the whole banquet was concentrated on Rong Ke. Rong Ke walked through the crowd and stopped at the top. She looked at Hejing with a smile and said, “Aunt Hejing, isn’t it weird, why am I still here?”

“What are you talking about.” He Jing refused to be compared, she stood up and smiled, “We thought you had an accident. Now that you are standing here, it is obviously just a false alarm It’s all a misunderstanding all this time. But you’re true. You know that you have nothing to do, but you only care about yourself and refuse to show up. It makes the elders anxious for nothing. You tell me, you are what the regent princess should do. thing?”

“Auntie’s words are really interesting. Then according to Auntie’s words, what should I do as the regent princess?” Rong Ke’s smile did not change, but his eyes gradually became sharp, “It is to use the wrong intentions. Kill all of them? Or do you want to slash and rectify the Chao Gang?”

“This is your own business, ask me what to do?” He Jing smiled and refused to get caught.

“When I was away from Beijing, I heard that my aunt and grandmother were very worried and wanted to take revenge for me. It’s my junior’s fault to worry about my elders. Now that I have returned, I naturally dare not let my elders Work hard.”

This is a commonplace statement, and Princess Hejing did not take it to heart. She glanced around and suddenly asked: “It’s not easy for you to escape from the tiger’s mouth, why are you the only one?”

Rong Ke smiled softly at this: “It’s not me.”

As soon as the voice fell, a scream came from the backyard, and the dark back house suddenly lit up with fire. He Jing was inexplicably a little unknown, and she asked, “What’s going on? Did you make the movement?”

Rong Ke smiled but did not speak, and Hejing’s expression had changed, and quickly turned to call for people: “Come here, call all the guards, how can I let people run wild in the territory of Jing County and I ?”

The guests all stepped back and leaned against the wall far away, leaving a large space around He Jing and Rong Ke. Because of this, their every move is very eye-catching. I saw He Jing said cruel words with a cold face, but Rong Ke was still calm and smiling, and the onlookers were thinking, Princess Gan Ning is young and tender, and she can’t hold back. Live in the scene, this occasion was still deterred by the Lord Hejing.

He Jing saw Rong Ke not talking, thinking that she would not dare to contradict, and she was also very proud: “Gan Ning, I am your elder after all, the elder and the younger should not be confused, next time…”

Before Hejing County Master had time to say what happened next time, there was a scream in the night sky that almost plunged into the sky: “County Master, help!”

The door was slammed open, and in the dark night, a group of people in black appeared outside the door, almost blending into the dark night.

Looking up, you can see the black neckline and the silver mask on the face.

A group of murderous, unknown men in black, with masks on their faces, and their subordinates are holding King Jiang An who just left the table not long ago. This kind of scene appears in the hunting cold wind, which is almost bizarre.

He Jing was taken aback, and when she saw the person in the lead, she trembled even more: “Mingtai, why are you here?”

King Jiang An seemed to have just woken up, his clothes were messy, and he was being held by a man with a silver mask, with a long knife across his neck. He was very annoyed, growing up so big, how could anyone dare to treat him like this? He was concerned about the county king’s face before and refused to call for help. Now that he saw the princess Hejing, he finally couldn’t help shouting, “Sister, what’s wrong with these people? Why are they here?”

Hejing County Lord looked at the knife lying in front of King Jiang An’s neck, his heart was about to jump out. She turned back and glared at Rong Ke: “Are these your people?”

Rong Ke asked with a smile: “What do you think?”

“You are bold!” He Jing was furious, “Do you know who that is? You treat him like this. Don’t let this group of people let go of him!”

Rong Ke was not annoyed at all after hearing this, and the smile on his face did not change at all: “What’s the hurry. I said, I will personally find out the culprit who dared to murder me, and now it’s just the beginning , Aunt Hejing can’t hold her breath anymore?”

Prince!”

The guards of Hou’s mansion immediately stepped forward, supported by Hejing County Master, they had nothing to fear. One of the guards was in a hurry and rushed to the front. However, as soon as he approached, he saw the silver-faced man standing on the left of King Jiang An put his hand on the knife, and immediately made a tick, and there was a blood on the blade. line.

The guard covered his neck in disbelief, and the warm blood gurgled out through his palm.

Screams broke out in the yard: “Ah! Killed!”

The man who took out the knife was tall and tall, and a silver mask firmly covered his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like. But looking at the posture of his knife and retraction, it is obviously not the first time he has seen blood, and what is even more suspicious, when he does it, the eyes under the mask may not blink.

The guard fell to the ground clutching his neck, blood dripping all over the floor. There was another commotion in the crowd, and they all crowded back. Rong Ke filled herself with a glass of wine in this panic. She turned her eyes to the dancer and said, “I’m afraid the interrogation will take a while, so it’s not good to disappoint everyone at the banquet. Keep dancing, don’t Neglecting guests.”

The dancers had long been frightened and hugged, and when they heard Rong Ke’s words, they trembled more and more: “This…”

Rong Ke put the wine bottle on the table with a bang. “Jump!”

Many of the people who came to the banquet were the sons of court officials or princes. They still exuded a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Qian Ning how dare she do this!

Even He Jing was frightened, she was scared by the blood and backed up several times, screaming and shouting: “Rong Ke, you are crazy!”

Rong Ke’s violent methods shocked everyone in the room. After a few guards fell one after another, the rest of the guards also became timid and did not dare to step forward. At this time, everyone put away their contempt, and the eyes of these men in black in the courtyard also became horrified.

These are not people at all, they are murder weapons!

“I didn’t want to do this, but I don’t want to kill a few people, you guys always refuse to listen to me.” Rong Ke put down the wine glass, dragged the black skirt and walked down from the top, “I was assassinated that day. , Gai is because the female official around me is against the water. After I went back, I checked carefully for several days and found that this female official seemed to have a good relationship with King Jiang An. King Jiang An, what do you say about you and Xiang Hui? ”

King Jiang An’s face was pale now. Just now, when the silver-faced man murdered, he was in front of him. King Jiang An grew up in the deep palace since he was a child. How could he have seen such a **** scene. Hearing Rong Ke’s words, he sighed weakly: “I do know her.”

King Jiang An has admitted it, and Princess Hejing has nothing to say. He Jing sneered and said sarcastically: “Rong Ke, you brought an unknown private soldier to murder the guards in my house, and I will keep this account for you. If you dare to treat Ming Tai like this today, you wait, As soon as the sun rises, I will go to the palace to find my grandmother, but I want to see how you will end.”

“The slave accompanies the county master.” Eunuch Zhang helped the crown on his head in embarrassment, fell to the ground and said, “The old slave has never been treated like this, it seems that he can only make peace tomorrow. The queen mother seeks justice.”

“I haven’t seen it just now, so Eunuch Zhang is also there.” Rong Ke smiled, “You are a popular person by your great-grandmother’s side, no one in the palace respects you three points, and now you are being taken with you. It’s really hard to say if I’m escorted here. Come on, send Eunuch Zhang here soon.”

Eunuch Zhang was immediately pushed and shoved to the front, and he almost tripped over a corpse halfway. Eunuch Zhang became more and more angry, and before he had a seizure, he heard Rong Ke continue to say: “I heard that my great-grandmother and grandmother have been looking for the real murderer who assassinated me these days, and it is not easy for the elders to worry about my affairs. Since Eunuch Zhang is here today , then please my father-in-law to be a witness, and after returning, he will say that the real murderer who assassinated me has died.”

He Jing was shocked, and before she could react, she saw Rong Ke turned her head and said without any emotion: “King Jiang An has pleaded guilty and will be killed on the spot.”

“Rong Ke, you dare!” Princess Hejing screamed, and Eunuch Zhang was so frightened that his legs were weak. He Jing almost screamed: “Rong Ke, you are crazy, Ming Tai is grandmother’s favorite grandson, if you touch him, grandma will never forgive you!”

“Princess, even if you are a princess, you can’t commit any crimes. The Prince of Jiang’an is your uncle!”

King Jiang An was also taken aback by Rong Ke’s words, although he didn’t think Rong Ke had the courage, but with the knife on his neck, King Jiang An was somewhat frightened. King Jiang An said: “I am your elder, you can kill others. If you really kill me, you will be committing the crime of uncle murder.”

Seeing that Rongke was silent, Hejing thought she was afraid, and quickly added fire: “Yes, Rongke, the Ministry of Punishment has not yet convicted, if you dare to touch Mingtai, it will be used Lying, but also on the back of the charge of uncle murder. Your family has already killed my father. Now, are you unwilling to let go of the last male in our line? If you can kill a person, then you can block it. Do you live in the world with a long audience?”

He Jing gradually softened her attitude and lowered her body to pull Rongke’s sleeves: “We are direct aunts and nephews! I know that you are only temporary today, don’t worry, yours Your grandmother will definitely give you justice. We are both surnamed Rong. When you were young, my father hugged you personally. Although many things happened later, we are after all the blood of direct relatives. We have the same blood, you How can you do something that hurts the same family? If you dare to touch Mingtai, let alone grandmother, even the world will not spare you. You have to think clearly. Rongke, Keke…”

He Jing moved out of the grievances between the emperor and the prince, and finally played the emotional card. Everyone present was a little unbearable. The fate of this pair of sisters and brothers is really rough. The world always sympathizes with the weak. Rong Ke’s ancestor murdered his brother in the past. To siblings.

In front of the eyes of all the people in the courtyard, Rong Ke slowly pulled back her sleeves and said, “What Aunt and Jing said makes sense. We are a family after all, not to mention having the face of a great-grandmother, No matter what I do, I shouldn’t treat the legacy of Prince Mercy.”

He Jing slowly calmed down, she knew how dare Rong Ke.

“But my grandfather and father taught me from childhood that the same mistake should never be made a second time.” Rong Ke smiled softly, and she moved her gaze to King Jiang An’s face said, “You shouldn’t have survived in the first place. Now, it’s time to get everything back on track.”

Rong Ke suddenly withdrew all smiles, and indifferently spit out a word: “Kill.”
