Chapter 138 The Truth (Part 1)

Everyone was stunned by Prince's "The Oriole Behind".

But everyone understood, what was Prince's plan? He watched Pei Rongbai and King Jing fight openly and secretly, using one to contain the other. In the end, the snipe and the clam fought for the fisherman's benefit, and he solved the two serious problems, directly secured the throne, and no one dared to underestimate him from now on.

It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and no one can guess what the emperor is thinking, not to mention, if the emperor is not iron-blooded and ruthless, he may not be able to control all the civil and military skills, but Pei Rongbai is Prince's mentor, although he is clearlyIt is true that the power is overwhelming and unrivaled, but he is also the one who helps Prince take the throne step by step and stabilize the imperial power. However, after Prince finished solving King Jing, he didn't even bother to wait for a day, and took Pei Rongbai cleanly.This inevitably made all the officials present shudder.

Let me ask, even such a kind person can deal such a cruel hand, so what about other people?!

Such methods are really only available to an emperor.

On this day, the little emperor also took down two people who threatened him. Needless to say, King Jing was sent to the heavenly prison.His family, his father, his mother, and the Qiao family of his in-laws were implicated, and they ransacked the house together, and everyone was thrown into prison.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs has been quite frightened these few days, like a frightened bird, so although he usually flatters Pei Rongbai in every possible way, now he disregards all ties, and even makes trouble when he is in trouble.Wen Youqing was the only one who pleaded with the emperor regarding Pei Rongbai's case in the early court, and pleaded for a thorough investigation of Pei Rongbai's case, but was ruthlessly dismissed by Prince, who even had Wen Youqing kicked out of the hall.

Wen Youqing was dissatisfied, and knelt at the entrance of the main hall, refusing to leave, but the emperor had made up his mind, so what's the use of kneeling to death?!

In the dark dungeon, a strong musty smell mixed with a bad smell irritated the tip of the nose, making people sick. From time to time, rats could be heard from the cells on both sides, and the oil lamps on both sides were lit.It was very faint, so dark that one could barely see faces clearly.In order to prevent people from escaping, each cell was surrounded by iron bars and nailed airtight with wooden boards. There was only a hole the size of two adult palms three inches above the ground, which was used to deliver meals.

Pei Rongbai's hands and feet were chained by chains as thick as his fingers - he was a master of martial arts, so he was afraid that he would break free, so his hands and feet were chained.At this time, he had long lost the appearance of the high-ranking prime minister in the past, only a dirty and torn jacket, a messy bun, and whip marks and bloodstains on his body - which were left by torture during the interrogation.

The next day after he was released from prison, the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple interrogated him and asked him to tell all his crimes so that he could be charged in the end, but he naturally had nothing to say, so the other party had to torture him.Strange, these people used to be afraid of him like a tiger and wolf, but now that once he loses power, these people hate him and belittle him more than anyone else, as if it is a sense of accomplishment to step on the people who used to be above their heads.

Pei Rongbai understands the state of the world and people's hearts, so he is not surprised or resented by this. He knows that the reason why these people feared him or flattered him in the past was just because of his power. If he lost his power, he would not only be nothing in their eyes, and may even be a deadly enemy.

He has been faintly aware of Prince's recent changes in his heart, such as how to review and reply to the memorial, he will have his own ideas, and he will deliberately not mention his name in the early court, and let other ministers speak first; what did he do?Decided, I would ask why this is the case... All of these are manifestations of Prince's gradual alienation from himself and his desire to break free from his shackles and handle political affairs alone.

So before Qiao Songyu asked him, Mu Qianyin was his student, and now he has achieved something, isn't he happy? At that time, he already had hidden worries in his heart. If Mu Qianyin was not an emperor, but a commoner or other noble grandson, he would naturallyHe was happy, but it happened to be the emperor. As the prime minister, he would inevitably make great achievements. How could he be happy?

However, although he expected that Mu Qianyin was likely to attack him, he never expected that after taking down King Jing, Mu Qianyin would directly take him down after Huang Que!He knew that King Jing would attack Qiao Songyu, so he arranged for Yin Qianzhan to exchange with Qiao Songyu, but who knew that Mu Qianyin took this opportunity to threaten him with Qiao Songyu!It's really crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!

Qiao Songyu was detained, so he naturally had to surrender.He is in prison, but he feels that his death is not a pity. The only thing he is worried about is Qiao Songyu. Now that Qiao's family has been arrested, no one will rescue him, and that Yin Qianzhan has always been eyeing Qiao Songyu. I don't know if he willWhat did you do to Qiao Songyu?

Thinking of this, Pei Rongbai's blood surged with anger, he wished he could break out of the siege immediately, go to the palace, and force Mu Qianyin to let Qiao Songyu go!

Thinking like this, he suddenly heard the sound of opening the door and talking from outside the cell. He listened with bated breath, and seemed to vaguely hear Yin Qianzhan's voice. He frowned, expecting that it must be Yin Qianzhan who came to show off his power in front of him.up.

Sure enough, only hearing the voice gradually approaching, even the forbidden son's voice became clearer:

"Please, the prison is dark, please be careful... This is the place where Pei Rongbai is imprisoned, do you see?"

"Go ahead, I will call you if necessary." Sure enough, it was Yin Qianzhan's voice.

"Yes Yes Yes."

The sound of a person's footsteps gradually faded away, and the cell seemed to be quiet again.

"Pei Rongbai." A clear voice slowly broke the silence, with a complacent and leisurely tone in his tone, "Aren't you here all right?"

"Master Yin, don't come here without any problems." Pei Rongbai's tone was also very calm, not at all like a prisoner, "Why is Master Yin coming to see me when you have time?"

"Of course I want to come to see you, but it seems a pity. I thought I could see you frightened, or angry and resentful... After all, it should be very interesting for a person who has always been superior to show such an appearance."

"I'm so sorry to disappoint you." Pei Rongbai said with a sarcasm, "Your Majesty Yin is really good. I didn't realize until I was in prison that the tiger talisman you gave us was why we helped His Majesty."The soldier talisman is clearly a reminder to send us to the west."

"Oh, there are still many things that the Lord Prime Minister doesn't know." Yin Qianzhan looked at the prison that was tightly nailed with wooden boards in front of him, with a smug smile on his lips, "You probably don't know, when you were in Ninghai PrefectureThose people who wanted to put you to death were arranged by me... In fact, His Majesty was already prepared at that time to kill you with Mu Chengan's hand, and then take Mu Chengan... It's a pity that your fate is too high, Your MajestySo I have no choice but to use your hands to kill Mu Chengan."

Pei Rongbai was startled for a moment, but suddenly he felt blessed and understood everything!
