Chapter 618： Finale (3): Reversal of the situation

Under such circumstances, several officials began to regret following Mr. Lu here today.

There were also those who were filled with righteous indignation and sternly rebuked Chu Lan.

There are also those who are waiting to see what happens.

Some even expressed their loyalty on the spot and continued to support Wei Jinyi.

At this moment, human nature is vividly demonstrated.

Then Chu Lan said to all the officials in the palace: "Emperor Daxing has neglected government affairs for many years, and when his relatives came to power, corruption was serious and the people were in dire straits. Although it is not natural for me to kill him, it is still a good medicine to save all people from disaster. You are like this. You understand my good intentions and are willing to continue to be loyal to me, work for the benefit of the people, and plead for the lives of the people. I can forgive you for your mistakes today. Everything will be as before, as if it never happened."

As soon as Chu Lan said this, more officials knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Lan to show their loyalty.

But there are still many officials who still stand still and do nothing. Some of them choose to support Wei Jinyi, while others choose to wait and see.

Mr. Lu scolded Chu Lan: "It is true that Emperor Daxing was neglectful of government affairs in the past few years, which caused the Qi family to cover the sky with only one hand in the court. But in recent years, Emperor Daxing's diligence and love for the people are obvious to everyone. On the contrary, you, In the past two years, countless victims and innocent people have been killed in the pursuit of power. If you really want to plead for the lives of all people, you shouldn't take action at this time! You are clearly doing it for your own selfish reasons, so why do you have to say it so high-sounding!"

"Old General Lu, you are old. You should learn to shut up when appropriate. Stop talking when you shouldn't." Chu Lan said.

"I have nothing to fear at my old age. I have been in the military for a long time, and I have long been indifferent to life and death. If you want to kill me today, you can come at me, but if you want me to shut up, you will have to kill me first. ." Old Mrs. Lu said.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lu, after today, you will pass away due to a sudden illness, and your disciples and old acquaintances will mourn for you,” Chu Lan said.

“Then do it!” Mr. Lu held his head high, his eyes full of disdain for Chu Lan.

Even with a knife on his neck, he will never bow to someone he despises.

Chu Heng cursed angrily: "Chu Lan, you are plotting to usurp the throne and you want to use force to force us to surrender to you. You are a rebellious traitor, you will not succeed!"

"What are rebellious ministers and traitors? Since ancient times, a successful king has lost a bandit. After today, no one will know what happened here. The only thing left in the history books is that King Rui and King Yu wanted to rebel and ended in failure." Chu Lan was calm. road.

"You...you are so crazy! You will die badly!" Chu Heng was furious.

Chu Lan ignored Chu Heng and Old General Lu and turned his attention to Wei Ruo who was standing aside: "You shouldn't get involved. At least there can be a trace of decency between you and me."

Wei Ruo replied: "Your Highness King Jing, there is nothing decent or dishonorable between you and me. From the beginning to the end, we have not had much interaction. It is just your own assumptions. And your opponent today is not me. , is my husband and... our father."

“Thinking too much? Hahaha, you are right, it is indeed my wishful thinking.” Chu Lan laughed at herself.

“Chu Lan, you haven’t won yet.” Wei Ruodao.

As Wei Ruo's words fell, Han Jin, who was standing in front of Chu Lan, suddenly changed direction and walked toward Wei Jinyi.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, be careful!" Mr. Lu quickly stood in front of Wei Jinyi.

The next moment, Han Jin knelt down to Wei Jin and said, "I pay my respects to His Highness Prince Rui."

Everyone was shocked and astonished by the scene in front of them. Even Mr. Lu did not expect such a scene to happen.

Chu Lan and Chu Heng were completely shocked.

I have never heard of any interaction between Han Jin and King Rui. When did the two of them conspire to get together?

If Wei Wei knew about it, he had seen Wei Jin, who was disguised as Wang Jin, and met Han Jin privately before. Wei Jin also heard that Mr. Han was his old friend.

Wei Jin also said to Han Jin who was kneeling in front of him: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite, please get up and speak." What?

uncle?

Han Jin is King Rui’s uncle?

How can it be?

At that time, all the people related to Xu Guogong's palace died. How could Han Jin be Wei Jinyi's uncle?

Chu Lan looked at Han Jin coldly: "Who are you?"

“Xu Zhengyuan, the youngest son of Duke Xu’s family.” Han Jin replied.

Mr. Lu looked at Han Jin in disbelief: "How could it be possible? You have been on duty for so many years...Emperor Daxing has always valued and trusted you, and even after the Xu Guogong case was vindicated for so long, he has never seen you regain your status..."

Han Jin explained: "Emperor Daxing knew my identity from the beginning, and he deliberately saved my life. He thought that I was young at the time, and wanted to save me to appease my eldest sister, but my eldest sister ended up because of The death of my father and brother was caused by a long-term illness and difficult childbirth. At that time, I could not completely trust Emperor Daxing, so I chose to hide it from him and arrange for the remaining old troops to send away the Ninth Prince."

At that time, Wei Jin was still a baby in his infancy, and the remaining old departments of Duke Xu's Mansion were like a piece of loose sand without a backbone.

Although Han Jin was only twelve years old at the time, he was already sensible. With him here, the remaining old troops can be twisted into a rope, dormant, protecting Wei Jin and planning for the future redress.

There are many things that everyone had not figured out before. They figured it out at this moment. It turns out that there is still such a person in Xu Guogong's mansion. No wonder Wei Jinyi can come back smoothly after many years. No wonder the emperor proved Wei Jinyi's identity so easily. It turns out that he is so!

The commander of the imperial army is Prince Rui's uncle, wouldn't that mean...

The situation immediately changed, and the spearhead originally pointed at Wei Jinyi and others was turned against Chu Lan.

The imperial army switched sides, and now Chu Lan only has dozens of his cronies left around him.

Chu Lan didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time he actually laughed softly.

“No wonder, no wonder he transferred Han Jin to be the commander of the Forbidden Army three years ago!”

This "he" is none other than Emperor Daxing, who is lying in the Zi Palace behind him and has long since lost his heart and breath.

This is his arrangement and the way he paved the way for King Rui.

 No wonder Wei Ruo said just now that Chu Lan’s opponents today are King Rui and the late Emperor Daxing.

Although he died, the plans he made for King Rui before his death had a far-reaching impact.

What a love with deep plans and far-reaching plans!

"It seems that there is no way to end today's affairs simply. Where are the generals of the Army and Horses Division?"

Following Chu Lan’s order, a signal flare rose into the sky outside the palace.

Subsequently, people from the Military and Horse Department in Zhongcheng rushed to the Qianqing Hall and surrounded the imperial army. The two sides were at war with each other.

The sound of fierce fighting came from the square outside, and more people from the Military and Horse Division were pouring in to fight with the Forbidden Army.

Chu Lan said: "Fortunately, I don't trust Han Jin that much. His surrender to me was too rash, so I arranged for some people from the Zhongcheng Army and Horses Division to be on standby in the palace."
