The process of entering the palace went very smoothly this time. It was too smooth before, but now it is even more stress-free. The two generals also understood Wen Wan's meaning after receiving Xia Xiang's guidance.
When soldiers from both armies saw anyone resisting, they would yell something, meaning that the emperor was fine and that the princess was following the emperor's order to capture the traitor. You are all deceived. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, you can forget about it.
The soldiers of both armies would kill all those who were stubbornly resisting; but as long as they put down their weapons and surrendered, and then squatted in the corner, all the soldiers were safe and sound. Because of this move, the situation was in a state of collapse, and the palace was not filled with blood.
The goal of gentleness is the Hall of Wende. Of course Wen Wan will not go to Wende Hall, nor will she go outside Wende Hall. Looking at Wende Hall from a distance.
Xia Ying was speechless when talking about being so afraid of death. The place where Wen Wan stood was also inspected carefully by soldiers, and then inspected again after the inspection was completed. Make sure there is nothing dangerous on site. How embarrassing it is to be in front of two generals! (From here you can see how afraid Wen Wan is of death).
Xia Ying really overthinks it. Wen Wan was so cautious, but the two generals breathed a sigh of relief. Of course they wanted to make meritorious deeds, but the first thing they had to do was ensure the safety of the princess. If there was something wrong with the princess, the capital would really be in chaos. They will not be able to bear this responsibility by then.
Zheng Sheng came over to report: "Princess, General Lu said (the leader of the Xiaoqi camp) that there were about seventy or eighty traitors in Wende Hall. More than thirty courtiers were detained, and they also captured the prince and grandson. The princess¡¯ eldest son is also among them.¡±
Wen Wan frowned. There were so many courtiers, and they even arrested the prince Longsun. This is really troublesome. Of course, even Wen Wan, the grandson of the Dragon Son Emperor, would not be able to save them personally. The emperor should have known when he laid out this situation that there would be a heavy price to pay.
Now we have reached this moment. Even if Wenwan doesn't deal with it, it has to be dealt with. Well, she just said she couldn't come to the palace. trouble. In fact, Wen Wan started to hesitate. Paying such a high price is just to get rid of this group of traitors. Is it worth it? Wen Wan doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s worth it.
All right. Wenwan admits that her thinking is different from the emperor's. If she were asked to trade her son and grandson for an enemy hiding in the dark, she would definitely not be willing to do so. If you can't catch it, just use it. The energy will be exhausted. But the emperor is different. The emperor has many children and grandchildren, a few more and a few less, as long as the ones he cares about are fine. I didn't see the emperor taking away the third prince whom he relied on most.
If the emperor has his heart, even if the capital changes. The third prince's ability is enough to control the capital. It's a pity that the emperor didn't want to keep this promising son in the capital, fearing that it would be ruined. Of course, Wen Wan may have ignored the emperor because she was on guard against the third prince.
Xia Ying looked at the group of people coming over. A group of more than 40 people escorted out of Wende Hall. Wen Wan actually overthought it. These people wanted to kill her, but they didn't think of setting off a gun to blow her up. The ancient government was a hundred times more stringent than the modern one. Even if these people hold the Sixth Prince in their hands. I didn't get much gunpowder either. Moreover, if Wen Wan was to be blown up, wouldn't it mean that everyone else would also be blown to pieces?
Wen Wan looked at the visitor, a little distracted. The man in his twenties who came out of the Hall of Wende was wearing a brocade robe. His appearance was similar to that of King Zhao. However, he did not have the aura of King Zhao, his face was unnaturally pale, and his expression was very gloomy: "This is really King Zhao's heir."
Wen Wan smiled helplessly, so to speak, the money that King Zhao collected back then still had the power to build secretly. It's all in his hands. This person is also responsible for everything that happened over the years. Well, Wen Wan really thought that with the deaths of King Zhao and Concubine Xian, the fight between King Zhao and the emperor's uncle had long ago become history. Of course, unexpectedly, a tail was left behind.
The person who came was walking at the forefront, not worried about the archers shooting him to death. Instead, he said to Wen Wan with a smile on his face: "Cousin Wen Wan. I am so lucky to meet you." In terms of seniority, Wen Wan is older than him, so it is not an exaggeration to call her cousin.
Wen Wan's expression was pale at this time: "The royal family doesn't have someone like you, so don't recognize relatives randomly." Not to mention the people in front of him, even King Zhao was expelled from the emperor and expelled from the royal family. So from a legal perspective, it really doesn¡¯t matter at all.
Zheng Sheng and General Lu were speechless as to why the princess was still joking at this critical moment. At this time, it¡¯s not time to say that you should put down the hostages and spare your life, or that you should kill them directly. Where can I stand and talk calmly about home affairs? And it¡¯s a common joke. They murmured in their hearts, but Wenwan was not something they could question.
This person laughed loudly after hearing this: "Of course there is no one like me in Yudie. Cousin, my name is Qiu (qiu), I am twenty years old this year, a few years younger than my cousin."
Wen Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It¡¯s not surprising that he is the son of King Zhao.The king is a powerful man no matter what, so he can still save one of his sons. What's strange is this age. She is seven years younger than Wen Wan, so she was born after King Zhao went back to celebrate the emperor's sixtieth birthday. At this time, King Zhao was extremely powerful, and he didn't have many sons at that time. How could he not include his son in the family tree? And he also called for revenge. How much hatred must there be!
Qi Chou chuckled sarcastically: "Why, my cousin doesn't believe it and thinks I'm a fake." He would rather he was not the son of King Zhao. If not, there is no need to hide around like a mouse in the dark.
Something was wrong in Wen Wan's mind, and she immediately muttered a few words to Xia Ying. Xia Ying immediately pulled away from Wen Wan. As for what to do, only Wen Wan and Xia Ying knew.
Wen Wan looked at Qi Qiu, then at the more than forty people surrounded, and said coldly: "What do you want to do before you are willing to let these people go?"
Qi Qiu showed a sarcastic smile: "If I say, I want your life. As long as you live, I will trade your life for more than forty of them. How do you treat me?"
It suddenly dawned on Wen Wan that her guess was correct. This Qi Qiu was not the mastermind at all. If the mastermind behind the scenes is such a person, and the Shenji Battalion and the secret guards have not been able to trace him after so long, then they are all imbeciles.
Wen Wan smiled: "Do you think I would trade my life for theirs? Ask them, who dares." Not to mention Wen Wan's unwillingness to part with her own life, even these people don't have the guts. Even if Wen Wan sacrificed her own life for their safety. When the emperor came back, he had to cut them alive.
Someone in the trapped crowd actually shouted: "Princess, I would rather die than follow the will of these traitors" There was no more words after that, but it was definitely blocked.
¡°These people are not fools. If they die now, they will die on their own. If Princess Wenwan died for them, the family would not be able to fully protect them.
Qi Qiu chuckled: "People outside say that my cousin is a Bodhisattva who descended to the earth, but it turns out it's nothing. They are all people who deceive the world and steal their reputation."
Wen Wan didn't care about her sarcasm, she just smiled and said, "If there were more people like me who deceive others and steal their reputation, I believe it would be a lot cleaner." No matter what her purpose, it is true that she has saved countless people. No one can deny this. Besides, she has never used this to claim credit. She even added the word "royal" to the charity hall. Record the merits to the royal family and to the emperor. Moreover, she does not do good deeds to gain a good reputation, but just to gain peace of mind. Qi Qiu's words really cannot arouse Wen Wan's emotions.
Qi Qiu smiled softly: "I've always heard that my cousin is very eloquent. It's really better to hear once than to see her once. My cousin is very eloquent, but compared to my cousin's methods, this eloquence is inferior."
Wen Wan did not follow Qi Chou's words, but changed the subject: "Back then, King Zhao was defeated and killed. Since you escaped, you should find a place to hide your name and live in peace and contentment." Seeing Qi Chou want to As he spoke, Wen Wan immediately interrupted him: "Don't talk about any hatred towards me? What kind of hatred do you have between me and the emperor? The road to seizing the throne is life and death. The winner is a prince and the loser is a bandit. Since he has lost, he must be willing to do so. What's the point of doing these things? Just blame me, why should I be born in the royal family?" This is Wen Wan's sincere words. If King Zheng had been defeated back then, there would have been only death for them. Even if she is not dead, Wen Wan will not think about revenge. Instead, he stayed anonymous and acted like an ordinary citizen. If he can't stay in Daqi, he will flee abroad.
The smile on Qi Qiu's face deepened: "Anonymity? How easy it is to say that, you can really live a stable life by hiding your name. Do you think the emperor will let me go?" No one wants to be like a mouse, living in the dark. day. But he had no choice.
Wen Wan said coldly: "If you hadn't caused so many things, the emperor is a benevolent and righteous king, and he would definitely let you go." Seeing Qi Chou's look of contempt on his face, he hurriedly said: "Back then, King Zhou oppressed The emperor's uncle has not killed him for more than ten years since he ascended the throne. As long as you stay on your own terms, I will let you go. But for what you did, even I won't let you go. Let me go."
Qi Qiu smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Drag the man out." As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier escorted Ling Yuan out.
Lingcheng¡¯s face suddenly turned pale.
??Sneered gently. She wanted to see what Qi Qiu planned to do. Of all the manpower, only Ling Yuan can still pull Wen Wan to some extent. Of course, it is mainly pulling Ling Cheng.
After the cloth in Lingyuan's mouth was pulled out, she shouted loudly: "Auntie" Lingchen actually wanted to call her auntie to save me. But he heard clearly what Wen Wan just said. He knew very well that calling for help now would have no effect. Therefore, Ling Yuan just looked at Wen Wan and did not ask for help. Not even saying that I don¡¯t want to die.
Wen Wan was very surprised by Ling Yuan's reaction. She thought Lingyuan wouldHaving tens of thousands of soldiers begging for mercy from her would be a huge embarrassment to the royal family. Ling Yuan has no image at all. Unexpectedly, this kid is quite good. Now it seems that Hai Ruyu's teachings are in the right direction.
