Hou Junji squinted his eyes, and his hands behind him were already clenched into fists. At this moment, he slowly shook his head.

"What's the meaning of His Royal Highness's words, minister, and what's the crime?"

"Could it be that your Royal Highness, seeing that your Majesty is not in Chang'an, intends to murder the auxiliary ministers, forcibly seize military power, and seek to kill the emperor and stand on his own?"

Li Chengqian directly took a bite of Hou Junji's Qiqiao to make smoke, his face turned black.

The prince Shao Zhan on the side Zhang Xuansu pointed out like a sword, and his beard and hair were all open.

"Shut up, you don't want to spit people, Hou Junji, you are in collusion with King Wei to murder His Royal Highness, and you even intend to kill His Royal Highness and his family..."

"Zhang Xuansu, do you have evidence?" Hou Junji's eyes fell on Zhang Xuansu.

"The soldiers and innocents who died tragically inside and outside the East Palace are the evidence, and the corpses of the confidants around you are all evidence."

Looking at the former hero of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian sighed and his eyes fell on Ma Zhou.

"Shilang Ma, you are the minister appointed by your father, how should you deal with this matter?"

Having controlled his emotions, after listening to Ma Zhou, Ning Zhong briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

He glanced at Hou Junji with disappointment on his face, and then gave a salute to Li Chengqian.

"The minister congratulates His Royal Highness on his innocence. His Royal Highness was attacked and the East Palace was in chaos, which involved the important ministers of the country and the royal family.

The minister thought that Chen Guogong should be taken into custody first, and the letter should be passed to Luoyang immediately, and the matter should be reported to your majesty. "

"Take Hou Junji down, the orphan will report to Emperor Ming and ask the Emperor to judge him."

"Who dares to move me?!" Hou Junji snorted, shouting sharply.

Ma Zhou's face sank, then turned his head, his words were like a knife. "Chen Guogong, if you are still a courtier of Datang, then you should abide by the law and respect the order of the prince."

"The officials will also ask your majesty to find out the truth in order to return Chen Guogong's innocence."

Naturally, I don't need to talk about it later, but the meaning is also very clear.

That is, if you, Hou Junji, are a troubled courtier, you don't need to abide by the law. Then these soldiers, why not kill you on the spot?

Hou Junji snorted, his eyes swept over the elites who were coming forward, and he sighed to the sky, depressed and authentic.

"You wait to lead the way, and the old man will follow."

"Chen Guogong, please..." The right-back man stepped forward and led the way, surrounded by more than twenty elites.

Ma Zhou looked at Hou Junji's somewhat bleak back, and shook his head in sorrow.

Since the prince dared to identify the collusion between Hou Junji and King Wei in person at this time, he was afraid that it would be impossible, so he already had solid evidence.

Thinking about this, Ma Zhou asked the prince and his family with concern.

Prince Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little lingering when he saw Li Xiang next to him and said.

"Fortunately, with preparations in advance, the lonely was able to survive, but the soldiers around him suffered heavy casualties."

"And in the palace, there are also heavy losses, many innocent palace ladies, eunuchs, and some ministers and soldiers..."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's tone choked, and he said only after he calmed down a bit.

"Fortunately, Cheng Saburo tried to turn the tide, alone, and led away the dozens of dead soldiers from the Wei Palace who had entered the inner palace and the rebels such as Helan Chushi."

"The orphan wife and children, this was spared..."

Ma Zhou's expression changed when he heard this. Cheng Sanlang was alone and led so many thieves away. Then he...isn't he more ugly?

After Ma Zhou hesitated for a while, he asked each other as soon as he gritted his teeth.

At this time, Fang Junda walked over and told the prince that all the corpses of the thieves had already been collected and they were distinguishing.

However, some people have already identified Hou Zhi, the steward of Chen Guogong's mansion, the generals Hou Tao and Hou Lue beside Chen Guogong, and several guards of Wei's mansion.

Hearing this, Ma Zhou's eyelids jumped wildly. After seeing the gloomy-faced Prince Li Xiang to accompany the princess, he strode away, and he quickly followed.

After passing by, I saw the huge open space in the south of Encheng Hall, full of neatly organized corpses. There are almost two hundred of them.

Although Ma Zhou and Hou Junji haven't had much dealings, in the end they both serve as ministers in the same palace, and these days they are both auxiliary ministers.

Of those close people around Hou Junji, he naturally knew several people, and at this moment, Hou Zhi, the chief steward of Chen Guogong's mansion, and his generals, Hou Tao and Hou Lue, were all here.

He even saw that Helan Chushi, whose eyes were wide open, was also among them.

"Helan Chushi is acting as an internal response, and together with that Wei Dynasty scholar Jiang Yaqing, he intends to murder the prince and the little majesty."

"Helan Chushi desperately resisted after the arrival of the reinforcements from the right guard, and has been given the lead. It is just that Jiang Yaqing, a scholar of the Wei Dynasty Palace, has escaped from the palace."

"Nowadays, the soldiers from the right guard are rushing to the palace of Wei for arrest."

Looking at that person who was less than three years old, he was already the prince Zuo Nei and Qian Niu ready, and the old man was Helan Chushi of General Hou Da.

Ma Zhou slowly shook his head and walked to the other side. He saw the soldiers of the Forbidden Army next to the prince, listening to the only one who was still alive~lightnovelpub.net~Walking Lang Jiang described when he was attacked. Scene.

The battle was extremely tragic. Fortunately, Fang Jun led a thousand battalions to kill in time, which relieved the prince’s danger.

Looking at the horrible remains of the soldiers, Ma Zhou couldn't help showing a sad expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

"You actually tried to kill the prince inside and outside the East Palace. This kind of behavior should be punishable, so as to prevent others from doing it."

When Ma Zhou recognized the bodies of the soldiers, Ma Zhou couldn't help showing a different color and sighed.

Li Chengqian looked at Ma Zhou, and saw what the Minister Ma seemed to be looking for in the remains of these soldiers, he couldn't help but ask softly.

"Shilang Ma, who are you looking for?"

"His Royal Highness, just now the minister heard that Cheng Sanlang alone led away dozens of dead men of the Wei Palace, Helan Chushi and others, for the crown prince and his little majesty. I don't know..."

"..." Li Chengqian and Fang Jun looked at the sad-faced magistrate with all their faces, Lu Neng on the side was suddenly unhappy.

"Shilang Ma, what a man, General Cheng, a few dozen people, how can he be his opponent."

"General Cheng was not only unscathed, but at the moment he is treating Yu Zhanshi and General Yuchi's wounds."

"...You said Cheng Saburo was unscathed?"

Ma Zhouyi looked at Lu Neng, the elder general, with a dumbfounded expression. He had just heard about that. Even if the guy was wearing double armor, Yuchi Baoqing was also partially wounded.

But Cheng Saburo was chased by dozens of desperadoes, and he was still unharmed. Is this possible?

The Uwei Lang who was here by the side will quickly prove it loudly.

"Yes, at the end I will see Cheng Sanlang alone, but unharmed, chasing and killing more than a dozen thieves and fleeing unscathed."

"..."
