Chapter 79 The Emperor Forcefully Summons Shouzhe! King Kangjun Fell From Power (Asking for Monthly Votes)

…

For a time, Emperor Longchang's mood was extremely complicated. He was extremely disappointed and angry because Prince Kang was involved in the smuggling and collaborating with the enemy case. At the same time, he felt extremely disappointed and angry because he had "unjustly accused" Wang Shouzhe and underestimated his wisdom. And I felt that my old face was getting hot.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" Old Yao whispered caringly.

"It doesn't matter." After being the emperor for thousands of years, Emperor Longchang quickly adjusted and said with a solemn expression, "Xuan Chen Jinglong and Chen Jinghu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiaojizi, one of the commanders of the internal guards, immediately took the order and left.

In a short while, brothers Chen Jinglong and Chen Jinghu escorted the rather embarrassed Zhao Zhikun into the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.

As representatives of Chen's contemporary young people, both of them have good demeanor and demeanor. Not to mention Chen Jinglong, a great genius, Chen Jinghu also has a majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing.

Seeing Emperor Longchang, the two of them were very calm and saluted while escorting Zhao Zhikun.

"See Your Majesty."

Emperor Longchang's majestic eyes glanced at the Chen brothers, and finally his eyes fell on the pale-faced Zhao Zhikun, and said coldly: "Jinglong, please tell me the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Jinglong reported, "Because his brother Chen Jinghu thought that there were some doubts about the case and there were some strange things, he prepared to interrogate Zhao Zhikun again. Unexpectedly, he found that Zhao Zhikun, who was supposed to be detained at home, and his wife Jiang He has already put on makeup and fled, leaving only a pair of avatars to cover people’s eyes and ears.”

"Kagetora is the commander-in-chief of the Criminal Law Department. If the criminal escapes successfully, he has an unshirkable responsibility. He was afraid of His Majesty's punishment, so he immediately asked me to arrest the fugitive together to make up for his mistakes. Unexpectedly, not long after the two of us took action, Zhao Zhikun and his wife repented, voluntarily surrendered, and expressed their willingness to expose the real mastermind behind the smuggling and collaborating with the enemy case."

After a brief narration, Chen Jinglong took out a case file and Zhao Zhikun's confession and presented it to them.

Lao Yao reached out to take it and forwarded it to Emperor Longchang.

Emperor Longchang browsed through it with a heavy expression, and the little bit of luck left in his heart was quickly extinguished.

The muscles on his old face gradually became distorted, and an uncontrollable anger rose up: "It's great! It's really great! As a bloodline heir that I highly value, he may be able to assume the position of the Great Emperor in the future. The emperor’s son is actually the mastermind of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, hehe~hehe~”

A series of suppressed angry laughter sounded in the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.

Zhao Zhikun's confession was extremely clear, rich in details, and flawless in logic.

The profits from smuggling were laundered through the Immortal Dynasty and then transferred to the Prince of Kang County. As for Prince Kang, there was mainly a person from the Immortal Dynasty named Jiang Zhuyi who was responsible for the connection.

And Jiang Zhuyi is still serving as the chief staff officer in Kangjun Prince's Mansion.

Combined with the account issues of Kangjun Prince's Mansion that Meng Yuanbai "accidentally" discovered, they corroborate each other and it is considered to be a mountain of ironclad evidence! In this case, even if Prince Kang refuses to admit his crime, he can still be punished.

How terrible is the wrath of the Emperor?

In an instant, the Humble Administrator's Pavilion was filled with an invisible energy, and a depressing feeling filled the air, causing everyone to lower their heads unconsciously.

disappointment!

Since Emperor Longchang entered his old age, he knew that his time was short, so he treated every outstanding child with great care, and he naturally spent a lot of effort on Prince Kang.

It can even be said that this effort far exceeds the investment in Prince An. After all, before the rise of Prince An, most people believed that Prince Kang was the best quasi-emperor.

Even Emperor Longchang himself had always felt in private that if nothing unexpected happened, the future emperor would undoubtedly be Prince Kang.

But I never thought that Prince Kang, who looked glamorous and unparalleled in appearance, was actually so rotten in his bones!

How dare he smuggle and collaborate with the enemy? !

"Your Majesty, calm down." Old Yao persuaded in a low voice, "Why don't you call Prince Kang to come and ask about the situation first. Maybe there is some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding?" Emperor Longchang smiled grimly and slammed the case file in his hand towards Table Mountain. "With such irrefutable evidence, how can there be any misunderstanding?"

"Meng Yuanbai, Chen Jinghu, since you have been handling the case of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, then continue to handle it. Chen Jinglong, I order you to immediately mobilize the imperial guards to seize the Prince Kang's Mansion. There are many people waiting in the Prince's Mansion. All those involved in the case were detained on the spot and no one was allowed to escape.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Meng Yuanbai and the other three people all took orders.

"Go ahead."

Emperor Longchang waved his hand impatiently.

"I'll take my leave."

The three of them immediately took orders and retreated.

After the three of them escorted Zhao Zhikun away together, Emperor Longchang's momentum suddenly dropped, as if the wrinkles on his face suddenly became much deeper and his eyes became much cloudier.

Although he had expected that the royal family would not be too clean, the serious corruption within the royal family and the fact that King Kang was the mastermind behind the smuggling and collaborating with the enemy case, each and every incident still made him worried. It caused quite a blow.

"Old Yao~" Emperor Longchang sighed deeply, "I suddenly felt very frustrated. Shouzhe, when I privately commented on my four words 'what a great success', I was a little disapproving and thought about turning around. Teach that brat who talks so freely a lesson."

"But I didn't want to. He was really right."

"As a great emperor, I love conquests and want to achieve immortal feats like my ancestors, but I lost control of the royal family's internal affairs. After all, something big happened."

"Your Majesty," Lao Yao said hurriedly, "don't take to heart the nonsense that Shouzhe said. Your Majesty, after you came to the throne, the territory of the country continued to expand, all the counties in the country were prosperous, and the national power was even stronger than before. Nearly doubled. Such achievements are already shocking in the past and today."

"Ah oooooo~"

The five chubby little wolf cubs seemed to have sensed the emperor's sadness. They rolled over and started to rub against the emperor's legs. They acted cute when they should, massaged when they needed, and the one who was in charge of the show tried their best to coax him. The emperor looks happy.

"You little guys are quite capable of doing things." Emperor Longchang's depressed mood suddenly eased a lot. He took out the dried meat from the "Pixiu Treasure Ring" and started feeding it. While feeding, he said, "After all, it's better than That guy Wang Shouzhe wants to please me."

"puff!"

Old Yao suppressed a smile.

I don’t know how Wang Shouzhe will react when he hears this sentence?

…

at the same time.

Kangjun Prince's Mansion.

In the luxurious and luxurious study room filled with incense, Prince Kang and many of his advisers and disciples gathered together again.

However, this time, the atmosphere in the study room was much more relaxed than before.

The expressions on the faces of Prince Kang, Jiang Zhuyi, Mr. Yude, and the butler were all quite relaxed, without the previous tense feeling.

"Your Highness, this time Prince Shou and Prince Ping are here to attract attention, and your situation will not be so eye-catching. We have achieved half of our goal." Jiang Zhuyi said with a smile, "In addition, , our people have been in private contact with many princes and princes, and they all have strong opinions on Prince An, and more than 60% of the princes have made it clear that they will not support Prince An."

"Although the princes did not express their attitude clearly, they also revealed their dissatisfaction with Prince An. On our side, the situation can be said to be very good~"

"Hahaha~ Okay~ Zhu Yi, your plan really worked." King Kang was overjoyed, "Wu Mingyuan shot himself in the foot this time."

"That's because you responded promptly and acted decisively." Jiang Zhuyi smiled implicitly and did not take credit.

He was just talking, Prince Shou and Prince Ping were all tricked out by Prince Kang.

"Although this tax audit incident has had some impact on your reputation, the overall situation is still under our control. As long as we slowly guide the direction of the wind, after a while, the impact of the tax inspection will be minimized. ." Mr. Yude also felt relaxed at this moment, and even his tone of voice was much lighter, "As long as there are no other problems on our side, your throne will be stable when the campaign to conquer southern Xinjiang is over."

Hearing this, the chief steward of the county prince's palace also showed a relaxed smile. He raised his hands and complimented Prince Kang: "Congratulations, your highness. Congratulations, your highness. Now, your imperial journey has been more than half successful."

"Hahaha~ I am in this situation thanks to your help. I am very grateful." King Kang laughed and said, "Don't worry, when I ascend to the throne of God, I will definitely be without you." Your reward."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone immediately raised their hands to thank him.

A few clever men also said a lot of auspicious words in a joke, which made Prince Kang happy and laughing.

Just when everyone was in a good mood.

Suddenly.

A deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded over the county prince's mansion.

"All Praetorian Guards obey orders."

"Your Majesty ordered that Prince Kang is suspected of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy. The evidence is conclusive. From today onwards, Prince Kang's Mansion will be sealed off. All the people in the Prince's Mansion will be detained on the spot. No one will be allowed to escape."

As soon as the words fell, there was a roar of acceptance.

What came next was the sound of kicking on the door, scolding, the sound of armor scraping, the angry shouts of the soldiers in the mansion, and the panicked exclamations of the servants in the mansion.

"not good!"

The expressions of everyone in the study changed.

It is a taboo to deploy troops privately without the emperor's order. Now that the emperor is sitting in the palace, no one has the courage to falsely convey the emperor's order. Since the Imperial Guard dared to come, there was only one possibility.

The smuggling incident was exposed!

They were just celebrating the upcoming victory in the battle between the emperor and his son. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the world would have changed!

"Is there something wrong with Gongyang Ce?" Jiang Zhuyi looked solemn, and this was the first thing that came to his mind.

The posture of the imperial guards clearly meant that they had directly convicted Prince Kang and were not prepared to give them a chance to explain. Unless Zhao Zhikun rebels, otherwise, under normal circumstances, there will be a period of wrangling, so how can the Imperial Guards be directly dispatched?

"It's too late to think about this!" Mr. Yude was more practical and quickly urged Prince Kang, "Your Highness, please leave quickly! It may still be too late to rush to the Prince's Mansion now!"

"Yes! Go to Ancestor Dexin and Grandpa Yong'an Sixth, and ask them to go to His Majesty to intercede for me!" King Kang also reacted immediately. Without saying a word, he smashed the roof with his palm and rushed out.

In Guilong City, Xuanwu monks below the level of supernatural power are not allowed to fly unless they receive amnesty or in special emergencies.

But at this moment, King Kang no longer cared about the no-air rule.

The power of the Purple Mansion Realm exploded, the powerful profound energy surged crazily, and his whole body turned into a crimson glow, shooting towards the sky.

However, he had just flown three to four feet away when a golden ray of light bloomed from under a golden king's hood, trapping him directly.

This net is the "Tianluo Net", the Zifu's treasure weapon used by the imperial guards to hunt down monks who violate the air restrictions!

This "Tianluo Net" is usually controlled by Chen Jinglong, the commander of the Guilong City Forbidden Army.

"Chen Jinglong, you dare to stop me?!" Prince Kang struggled several times but couldn't get out, and he couldn't help but became furious.

At this moment, his expression was ferocious and his eyes were red, like a trapped animal in a cage. Where was his usual calmness and calmness?

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. You have committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy. According to His Majesty's instructions, all persons involved in the case will be detained on the spot, and you are no exception. Otherwise, I cannot explain to Your Majesty."

Below, Chen Jinglong was dressed in black armor, standing with his sword in hand, his expression calm and collected.

Next to him were Chen Jinghu, who was also wearing a military uniform, and Meng Yuanbai, who was wearing a purple official robe and had a serious face.

Behind the three people were a group of officials from the Sancai Department and the Supervision Department, as well as nearly a thousand Imperial Guards wearing black armor. They looked like a crowd.

In the sunset, their bodies seemed to be dyed with a layer of red light, and even the black armor was stained with traces of red, just like the armor was stained with blood, and they were inexplicably chilling.

Seeing this, Prince Kang suddenly calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

Since Chen Jinglong came here on the emperor's order, he naturally believed that he could not make any more troubles. With the power to suppress him, he would not give in as usual.

He simply stopped struggling, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Jinglong, I am the quasi-emperor's son. If you want to punish me, the clan government must come forward. You are not qualified!"

"I want to see Prince Dexin and Prince Yong'an, and I want to see the elders of the clan mansion! This is my right as the quasi-emperor, and you have no right to stop me! Even if the emperor's life is on my side..."

Unexpectedly.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another rough and deep voice: "The quasi-emperor, you are no longer the emperor."

at the same time.

A majestic, majestic, blazing power rose to the south of Guilong City.

next moment.

A red rainbow of light streaked across the sky with majestic pressure, spreading from the south of the city to the sky above Kangjun Prince's Mansion, and immediately transformed into a middle-aged man in red robes with a tall figure and an impressive aura.

This middle-aged man wears a prince's jade crown, has black hair and a curly beard, and his aura of power makes people tremble with fear.

"Prince Dulwich!"

Chen Jinglong, Meng Yuanbai and others quickly raised their hands to salute respectfully.

The man in front of him was no ordinary prince, but the prince in charge of the clan mansion.

In order to show fairness, the prince in charge of the royal family house is generally not held by the prince of the first line, but by the prince of the second line, or a prince with a slightly more biased blood line.

Considering that a prince who is too young cannot control the situation, and a prince who is too old does not have enough energy, the princes in charge of clan houses are generally princes in their prime who are between 1,000 and 1,500 years old. Selected.

Generally speaking, those who can be elected are the ones with the highest prestige among the princes of this age group.

Only in this way can we convince the public.

The Prince Dewei in front of him was a figure who was not inferior to Prince Hao when he was young. With his terrifying military exploits, he was unparalleled in the contemporary era. Even among the royal family, he was an extremely rare military god type warrior. Among the royal family, Very high prestige.

Of course, his reputation among the people is also very high. Not only are there many legends about him among the people, but also among high-ranking third-grade families, many regard him as their idol.

It was also because of this that he was given the title "Wei" by His Majesty.

His Majesty's regard and trust in him can also be seen from this.

"Ancestor Dewei..."

Seeing this person, Prince Kang finally could no longer maintain his composure, and his face suddenly turned pale.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes when he looked at Prince Dewei, hoping that he would be lenient for the sake of his past achievements.

However, Prince Dewei did not even look at him. He only looked at Chen Jinglong, Meng Yuanbai and others with his hands behind his hands, and said coldly: "Prince Kang is smuggling and collaborating with the enemy. The evidence is conclusive. It is really a shame for our royal family."

"This person's crime cannot be pardoned. On behalf of the clan government, I am here to deprive King Wu Chengsi of Kang County of his quasi-emperor status. Next, the clan government will not intervene in how to convict and punish him. Everything will be done in accordance with national laws. .”

"yes."

Everyone agreed with a roar.

It’s over!

If the clan government does not intervene, once the charge of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy is determined, Zhao Zhikun's fate will be his own fate. No, because His Majesty is so disappointed and angry, he might not even get a chance to go to the cannon fodder camp!

Prince Kang's face turned pale, and his eyes instantly became extremely desperate.

…

Without the honor of being the "quasi-emperor's son", and with Prince Dewei at the supernatural level holding the battle, how could King Kang still make waves?

The soldiers, guards, maids, and servants in Kangjun Prince's Mansion saw that the situation was not good, and they did not even dare to resist, so they were immediately captured.

Soon, Kangjun's palace was quickly taken over by the imperial guards.

However, even though King Kang was no longer the quasi-emperor's son, he was still a prince who had made great achievements. Chen Jinglong saved some face for him and did not put him in prison. Instead, he treated him the same as Zhao Zhikun before, and treated him with Kang. The county princess Zhao Yijing was also placed under house arrest in her own house.

As for other people, such as Jiang Zhuyi and the great housekeeper, they naturally did not receive such good treatment and were directly taken into the cells of the Supervision Department. Mr. Yude was assigned to the prison because of his distant royal family status. A clean independent cell with slightly better treatment.

…

same time period.

In the Four Seasons Garden.

There is a vibrant fruit forest. At this moment, the branches of the orchard are covered with golden fruits. These are the original spiritual fruit trees of Daqian Wang family - golden pineapple.

This kind of spiritual fruit is extremely rare, and the Daqian Wang family has never sold it to the outside world, only for family enjoyment.

Next to the orchard, there is also a small man-made high-grade spiritual field, which was temporarily requisitioned by Wang Shouzhe, who was a guest.

At this moment, what are grown in the Lingtian are fine melons and vegetables that have been domesticated and improved by humans from generation to generation. They are rich in spiritual energy and tender, and they are delicious whether they are stir-fried or eaten raw.

It's just that using high-quality spiritual fields to grow spiritual vegetables, the output of the same acre of land will have a much worse effect on nourishing the body than growing spiritual rice. It is not cost-effective in terms of energy efficiency, and only wealthy families will not care about cost performance. Just take care of your appetite.

However, for Wang Shouzhe, life is not just about filling his stomach, but also about quality of life.

High-grade spiritual rice can greatly replenish physical energy and blood, but it cannot replace the refreshing taste of spiritual melons and spiritual vegetables.

"Shouzhe, your planting talent is even better than Zong An's." Prince An picked an improved variety of crispy melons and ate them with a "squeaking, banging, banging" sound. He ate, praised, and picked new melons. Putting it into the storage ring, "Qingrui loves to eat melons the most. I'll give her some back."

several?

Wang Shouzhe looked at him with strange eyes.

You have picked more than twenty in a short time.

"This red amaranth is pretty good. Your fingernails are so tender when you pinch them." Prince An pursed his lips and stared at other amaranth, "I ate a few chopsticks at your place yesterday. It was soft, glutinous and tender. The leaves are fat and juicy. I will pick a few handfuls for Qingrui to taste."

How many picks?

Wang Shouzhe's cheeks twitched.

Wu Mingyuan, you are almost going to kill all the red amaranth, do you understand?

Is your family, a dignified quasi-emperor, so poor? Not only would he come to the Four Seasons Garden where he was staying for a meal every now and then, but he would also bring back some ingredients in a different way. If there is really nothing to eat, I will pack up the leftover spiritual rice and say that I can fry a bowl of egg fried rice as a midnight snack.

Alas, there is really no one else who has such virtue among the quasi-emperors.

"Your Highness." Wang Shouzhe squatted on the edge of the field and taught him earnestly, "You will be the emperor in the future, so you have to have some cards when you go out. It's not easy for me to order food like this~ What can I eat after you've eaten all the food? ?”

"Shouzhe, you are a guest in Duke Ding's mansion, how can you still worry about having nothing to eat?" Prince An also blushed, put down a few freshly pulled out autumn radishes, and said, "Isn't it just a few bites of your vegetables? Why are you so stingy? When I become the emperor, I will promote you to be the chief minister of the cabinet, and then Shouzhe, you can take care of everything."

"Thank you~" Wang Shouzhe rolled his eyes angrily, "Then I'll be busy helping you with all kinds of chores all day long? I don't have that spare time, so you should hire someone else as soon as possible."

"Then how about making you the Duke of the Kingdom? I'll call you Duke Shou." Prince An said generously with a wave of his hand.

His posture was as if his royal title was worthless.

What's more, he hasn't ascended to the throne of God yet, and his ability to paint the pie is slipping away more and more.

"No, there are only two princes in the country, and both of them have made great contributions in cooperating with Emperor Xuandu to open up wasteland and establish the country. If you want to make me a prince so casually, I'm afraid someone will curse me every day." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand, looking uninterested. appearance.

"Shouzhe, you don't want this or that." Prince An looked him up and down and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you are planning to have a different surname, Wang Dangdang?"

After that, he really started thinking seriously.

"It's not impossible to say that. According to the ancestral system, if a certain family has enough merit, they can also be crowned king."

"Okay, okay, Your Highness, you should take good care of yourself." Wang Shouzhe said angrily, "This time King Kang has stepped down, and the plan to conquer the barbarian Gu tribe in southern Xinjiang will most likely fall on you. You Just treat it as a snack for yourself, it will be a joke if you fail."

After getting along with Prince An for a long time, his hidden personality of shamelessness gradually became apparent, especially the way he openly stole food from others, which was somewhat similar to His Majesty's shameless appearance.

"I have already thought up the plan to conquer southern Xinjiang." Prince An confidently picked a handful of tender green vegetables, stuffed it into the ring, and said with bright eyes, "This battle will definitely be won."

"I didn't expect that His Highness has grown a lot recently." Wang Shouzhe looked at him with admiration. "What's your clever idea? Can you tell me about it?"

"The plan is very simple. I will recruit you as the great military advisor." Prince An waved his hand, full of confidence, "With you accompanying me on the expedition, I will win without losing."

"..." Wang Shouzhe looked sideways and said with disdain, "I can only farm and I don't have time to go to war with you. After finishing the current work, I will go back to farm with my wife to live a life. You can slowly think about your plan. Bar."

"Shouzhe, Shouzhe, you can't leave me alone. No matter what, I'll let you win a few chess games in the future."

"No, I also have something to do at home. Leave your military advisor to someone else." Wang Shouzhe shook his head like a rattle.

The two were talking.

Xiao Xiangzi, one of the commanders of the inner guard, walked in with a familiar face.

However, what was different from the previous times was that this time, he held an imperial edict in his hand.

"The emperor has issued an edict, ordering Wang Shouzhe to enter the palace immediately to meet the Holy Spirit. There must be no mistake. I hereby express my gratitude!" After Xiao Xiangzi read out, he put the imperial edict together and looked at Wang Shouzhe with a smile, as if "I am finally proud."

Imperial decree?

Wang Shouzhe also raised his eyebrows.

This time it was finally no longer a hint or an excuse to be commended.

However, since the emperor had issued an express decree to summon him, he had no excuse to retreat this time.

"Your Majesty, take the order."

Wang Shouzhe respectfully received the imperial edict, and then stuffed a hard-earned ticket in accordance with the rules.

"Master Shouzhe, it's not easy for Your Majesty to meet you." Xiao Xiangzi said with a low smile, "Fortunately you accepted it quickly, otherwise Your Majesty would have said, 'If Wang Shouzhe continues to push back, the internal guards will be dispatched. Tie him to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion'."

"Haha~ Your Majesty has summoned you, how dare you not go?" Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly, as if the person he had rejected several times before was not him, "Commander Xiang, wait a moment, I will take a shower and change clothes, as you wish Enter the palace to meet the saint."

"There's no need to shower and change clothes. Just let me go. Your Majesty is quite anxious. He said 'immediately'."

"Okay, then I'll pick up some fresh spiritual vegetables and fruits and bring them over together. Your Majesty has taken in An Ye, the others, and the five wolf cubs for a while. I'm going to see His Majesty, so I can't go empty-handed."

"Your Majesty said 'immediately'! Master Shouzhe, don't try to harm me."

"That's okay. Let me borrow the fruits and vegetables that His Highness the Prince picked just now."

"..."

Prince An broke out in a cold sweat. His shameless operation just now made all his work in vain. He had picked it for Wang Shouzhe.

…
