Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The saint sat on the golden dragon chair, his crown swaying constantly, looking down at the important ministers below.
There are not many ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but each one has an extraordinary status. In addition to the cabinet ministers sitting in front, there are other important ministers such as the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the left minister of the household department and so on.
Lu Fang stood in the central area and spoke in a deep voice: "I discovered that the Emperor's Seal was missing today. I secretly investigated carefully and found out that the Emperor's Seal was stolen by the Imperial Master."
"But the Imperial Master died not long ago. I carefully investigated the residence of the Imperial Master and other hiding places, but I have never found the whereabouts of the Emperor's Seal."
"So I have to suspect that the Emperor's Seal is now in the hands of Chen Guogong."
coming.
Everyone, who looked like statues, wooden figures, and background boards, heard this sentence, their spirits were lifted, and they looked at Lu Fang with bright eyes.
Xu Changqing was the first assistant, so he had to speak at this time: "Chen Guogong is the head of the Zhuque Hall. He is famous and noble. He is hereditary and will always rule Chen."
"It's impossible to investigate Chen Guogong just because of your one-sided words."
Lu Fang flicked his sleeves, knelt down calmly on the ground, took out a memorial from his wide sleeves, raised his hands solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "If there is no evidence, I will not Dare to make false claims, this is the clue obtained by my investigation."
Gao Shiming, with a white face and no beard, bowed his head and bent his waist, walked cautiously, reached out and took the memorial, then came to the saint's side and handed the memorial into the saint's hands.
The saint raised his hand and opened it casually. After taking a quick look, he closed the memorial and threw it towards Xu Changqing. "Take a look. If the above is true, then send someone to verify it."
"As for what to do, you can discuss it. I'm feeling tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
The saint was too lazy to read any more. The prince had already prepared everything. If he dared to take it out at this time, he would naturally have evidence. The next step would be to ask Liuxi to verify it. There would be no problem.
This time the prince acted vigorously and framed him, which broke the saint's previous impression of the prince.
Dou Changsheng is finished.
After the saint left, this was just an interlude. Now the saint in Dazhou has become less and less important. Such behavior in the past was already a political incident, but now no one takes it seriously.
Xu Changqing watched it carefully, and after reading it, he handed the memorial to Lu Tianen who was standing aside. A memorial was circulated to all the ministers in the cabinet, and finally it reached the hands of King Chen. King Chen didn't even read it, and just squeezed it with one hand. After reading the memorial, he spoke calmly:
"The evidence is here, and it's easy to verify, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"The Emperor's Seal is lost. Regardless of whether it is verified or not, it is necessary to find the Emperor's Seal. Directly ask the Emperor's Seal. These six seals correspond to the Emperor's Seal. Sensing the direction of the Emperor's Seal, first retrieve the Emperor's Seal. Find the seal."
"If the Emperor's Seal is in the hands of Chen Guogong, then it will naturally be discovered during the search. If the search for the Emperor's Seal has nothing to do with Chen Guogong, this is a malicious frame-up by Mr. Lu."
Lu Tianen nodded and said: "Whoever is responsible is the one who is responsible. Once the time is determined, the person should be convicted and convicted. The law must be enforced impartially."
Both King Chen and Lu Tianen said this. Xu Changqing looked at the others. After getting their approval, Xu Changqing finally looked at King Chen and said: "This time the cause is the national master, but when it comes to Chen Guogong, it is up to you to do it yourself. Once."
King Chen stood up and said without hesitation: "You have to invite a member of the royal family to be able to use the emperor's seal to sense the emperor's seal."
"Come alone."
Prince Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and continued to speak: "I believe Chen Guogong will never do such a thing."
"Although the Emperor's Seal is powerful, it is a semi-divine weapon that is not weak. As long as it is not truly rewarded by a saint, it will be useless for outsiders to obtain it."
"As long as the Saint cuts off the power of the Imperial Seal, then the power of the Emperor's Seal will be very little, and it is just a treasure made of not weak material. No one will take risks for the sake of the Emperor's Seal."
The Six Seals seem to be important, but in fact they are not. There are many substitutes. If this thing is really irretrievable, then it can be discarded directly, and the substitute can obtain the power of the Jade Seal of the State, thereby completing the replacement.
What is really important is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. As long as the Jade Seal of the Kingdom is not lost, this thing can be cast repeatedly at a certain cost, but the impact will be worse.
"I will verify it myself. If Chen Guogong really hides the Emperor's Seal secretly, then for such an ambitious guy, I will personally use the Emperor's Seal to kill Chen Guogong and warn the world that the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty is inviolable."
Xu Changqing agreed and said: "Let Shouzun and King Jin take Mr. Lu there to investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it."
"You can't wrongly accuse a good person, and you can't let a bad person go."
"promise!"
Everyone responded and then slowly exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When King Chen and King Jin walked out of the imperial city, many members had been added to their team. Gao Shiming's broad sleeves were closed and he was standing one step behind King Jin and King Chen. Next to him, there was a chamberlain, holding a golden nanmu box.
The teams were filled with different forces, including Lu Fang, who represented the princelings, King Jin, the leader of the Jinwang Party, Gao Shiming, who represented the saints, and among the many other guards, there were also spies from all sides.
This mixture of people and snakes can be said to have twisted all the forces in the court into one rope. As long as things are exposed in front of them, they will be exposed to the world and cannot be covered up.
Lu Fang was full of confidence in this, and his expression did not change from the beginning to the end, as if he was going to make the matter public, and he would definitely be able to prove Dou Changsheng's crime.
King Jin closed his eyes and raised his brows tightly. Finally, his brows relaxed and he opened his eyes again and said, "Duke Chen is not in the capital, but outside the city."
Without Lu Fang's need to speak, an official immediately spoke: "Chen Guogong did not stay in the capital of the gods, he must have escaped."
King Jin immediately scolded him and said: "Shut up."
"Chen Guogong is an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a hero of the human race. He has made great contributions to protecting the country. How can you make such arrogant comments?"
King Jin looked unhappy. His brother, the prince, had always had a reputation as a virtuous man and was recognized by the great scholars in the world. However, this time he actually committed such a frame-up. Moreover, he was so low-level, but his attack was very sharp.
When it comes to the Six Seals, this is something that cannot be delayed. It means killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred.
Ruined his reputation and lost his generals just to capture Dou Changsheng.
At first, King Jin thought it was not worth it, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was a cost-effective thing to sacrifice so much to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Liangzhou subdued King Bao of Wei, and killed the first rank outside the Shendu. Dou Changsheng was too powerful, especially because he was proficient in conspiracy calculations. After three months of preparation, the prince brother was definitely having trouble sleeping and eating. Now that he had spent a lot of money to capture Dou Changsheng, it was not What a bad thing.
King Jin sighed in his heart. He hoped that Dou Changsheng could survive this calamity safely. If not, it would not be a bad thing. If Dou Changsheng was sacrificed left and right, the prince's strength would also be greatly damaged. He would not suffer any loss inside or outside, but would be able to strengthen himself. strength.
King Jin remained silent, and the team was also relatively depressed, with no one taking the initiative to speak.
The King of Jin relied on the Emperor's Seal locked in the box to constantly sense the position of the Emperor's Seal and determine their direction without deviation or error.
Suddenly King Jin raised his arm and stopped everyone who was advancing. When everyone was confused, he took the initiative to say: "There is no need to go forward, Chen Guogong is already coming towards us."
King Chen looked at it from a distance and could clearly see the behemoth standing on the ground. He slowly said, "The giant turtle should be where Mystic City is. Duke Chen went out to the capital today to wander around Mystic City."
King Chen looked at the sky again, and then continued: "It's already getting late. I'm returning from Mysterious Square City to the Capital of Gods to rest."
King Jin nodded and said, "The Lord is right."
Lu Fang stared in front of him indifferently and spoke sarcastically: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has sensed the Emperor's Seal and has seen that it is Duke Chen who is coming. Now that the evidence is conclusive, he has asked the King of Jin to personally take action and capture this person who was peeping at the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty." The rebellious officials and traitors."
King Jin looked at Dou Changsheng, who was getting closer, and slowly said, "There's no rush."
"The merits and deeds must be known by Chen Guogong, and you cannot rely solely on Mr. Lu's words."
Lu Fang sneered and said: "If you want to hear Chen Guogong's words, you have to wait a moment. I want to find the Emperor's Seal first. This is the sixth seal. It is related to our emperor, the country, the country, the country, and we must not lose anything."
King Jin hesitated for a moment and finally fell silent. King Chen gently twisted the beads as if he were a bystander. Everyone else looked at Dou Changsheng who had fallen from mid-air in front of him.
All the fiery eyes were fixed on Dou Changsheng. Lu Fang took the lead to walk out without hesitation. Looking at Dou Changsheng in front of him, he said indifferently: "Dou Changsheng, you are such a traitor and evil person. Today you have finally revealed your true colors."
"Hurry up and hand over the Emperor's Seal."
"Otherwise it's up to me."
Lu Fang looked at the confused Dou Changsheng in front of him and continued with a sneer: "Even now, I'm still pretending not to know."
"You can deceive everyone in the world with this, but you can't deceive me."
"You are a vicious thief who harbors evil intentions. Even if you remain silent and don't speak, the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable."
"Since you don't plan to hand it over, then I will look for it myself."
Lu Xiang walked forward slowly, like a frail scholar. Without using any magic power, he dropped all his defenses and was already standing half a meter in front of Dou Changsheng.
Dou Changsheng looked at King Chen and couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?"
"what happened?"
Is he still in a trap?
In the end what happened.
