Chapter 674: Night King is captured
Emperor Jingyang only knew that Ji Yuntang was eloquent and good at speaking.
But she didn't expect that Luo Junhe was not much inferior to her.
For the first time, he realized that his son was extraordinary.
In the past, he only knew that his son did not like to argue, was unwilling to complain, or make accusations, and was willing to endure any grievances.
But since Ji Yuntang married into the Night Palace, Luo Junhe's personality has also changed.
Emperor Jingyang looked at Luo Junhe and realized that he seemed to have never really known him.
Since when, this son has developed the nature of a wolf. Even when facing his father, he would not give in.
The current Luo Junhe made Emperor Jingyang feel fearful.
He realized that if he continued like this, he would probably be frightened, so he thought of a plan.
His eyes shot towards Luo Junhe like knives, flashing with a hint of sharpness.
"It's just nonsense!"
"Night King, your princess is acting ridiculous, so why don't you join her in acting ridiculous too."
"They just broke into the prison without any evidence, released so many prisoners, and allowed them to ransack the entire city lord's mansion and kill the city lord."
"Although the mayor of Liangzhoukou was wrong, it is not your turn to act this way. You could have reported the evidence to the court, and then I would have sent someone to deal with it, instead of letting your own wishes run wild."
Ji Yuntang sneered in her heart. The drought in Liangzhou had lasted for more than half a year. She didn't believe that Emperor Jingyang didn't know anything about this.
If he wanted to take care of it, he would have sent someone to do it long ago. Why would he wait until now?
Furthermore, judging from the current efficiency of Dongchen officials, it would be impossible to completely rectify this case within three months.
Jiang Wangbei has connections in Beijing, and even after going through the entire process, he may still not be able to find the key problem.
The most important thing is that in nine out of ten cases they are unable to give the people a satisfactory explanation.
Emperor Jingyang's words sound nice, but they are just excuses.
Luo Junhe also knew this very well. He said, "Father, the problem in Liangzhoukou is very serious. Although it is a place of exile, the people there cannot even guarantee their basic living standards."
"When Yuntang and I arrived there, we found that the people of Liangzhoukou were very hostile to the imperial court. They no longer trusted the country."
"If this situation continues to develop, it will only arouse their rebellion. Is this what Father wants to see?"
Emperor Jingyang clenched his fists. He could understand what Luo Junhe said.
The other party was telling him that if the situation in Liangzhoukou was not controlled, the people there would unite and rebel against his rule.
And by allowing the prisoners to kill Jiang Wangbei, weren't they also helping the people of Liangzhoukou to vent their anger?
Emperor Jingyang was furious and shouted: "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. If everyone does the opposite of what you do, then what is the point of the court?"
"If I don't punish you two this time, how will the ministers in this court view me? And how will the people of Dongchen view me?"
"They will only think that I am protecting my own son and daughter-in-law and indulging you to act lawlessly."
At this point, Emperor Jingyang said in a deep voice: "I must give everyone an explanation for this matter."
"Come here, arrest the Night King and the Night Queen, take them to the clan house, and interrogate them on a chosen day."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of guards rushed in.
They directly surrounded Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang.
Ji Yuntang narrowed his eyes. These guards came so quickly that it was hard not to suspect that Emperor Jingyang had arranged all this long ago and wanted to catch them.
When she came today, she anticipated that there would definitely be trouble.
Ji Yuntang quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.
This is the government affairs hall, and everyone inside and outside is Emperor Jingyang's people.
If she and Luo Junhe resisted, wouldn't that be playing into Emperor Jingyang's hands?
Now Emperor Jingyang only sent them to the clan house and did not order the use of criminal law.
But if they resisted in the Council of State, then the other party would have reason to punish them for the serious crime of disobeying the emperor's order.
This is obviously a disadvantage for Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
If you don't resist, you will be arrested.
Ji Yuntang was not worried about being caught. After all, she had a way to save her life, and the people in the palace could not do anything to her.
She quickly analyzed it in her mind and finally came to a conclusion.
That is, pretend to obey Emperor Jingyang's arrangement, have them arrested temporarily, and then find a way to escape afterwards.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang turned to look at Luo Junhe, and their eyes met in mid-air.
After a year of close contact, the two of them now have a tacit understanding.
From each other's eyes, they quickly understood each other's meaning.
Obviously, Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang had the same idea, both of them pretended to be obedient and then found another way to escape.
And based on Luo Junhe's understanding of Emperor Jingyang, if he dared to draw his sword and fight these guards now.
The other party is very likely to accuse him of forcing the emperor to abdicate and murdering his father to seize the throne.
By that time, even if he had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his emotions and allowed the guards to escort him away.
Soon, this matter reached Concubine Li's ears, and her gloomy face was instantly filled with joy.
Concubine Li asked Jian Lan, "You just said that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were captured by the Imperial Guards and taken to the Imperial Clan House. Is this true?"
Jianlan said, "It is absolutely true, Madam. I saw it with my own eyes."
Concubine Li frowned and asked again: "Why are the two of them so cooperative? Is this a trick?"
Although Luo Junhe's personality has changed, he should not allow others to control him.
Not to mention, there was also Ji Yuntang next to him.
Ji Yuntang had many conflicts with the Crown Prince and the King of Qi when he was in the Council of State.
Later, it was basically the Crown Prince and the King of Qi who suffered, and she was not affected at all.
This was the first time she was caught, and Concubine Li always felt that it shouldn't be so easy.
After all, she had not held any hope for Emperor Jingyang before.
Jianlan knew that Concubine Li was asking her for details, so she said truthfully: "His Royal Highness the Night King and Princess Night stayed in the government hall for at least half an hour. They seemed to have had a big argument with the Emperor, but they didn't fight."
"The Emperor has also arranged for hundreds of Royal Guards to guard outside the door of the Council Chamber, just to capture His Royal Highness the Night King and his wife."
At this point, Jianlan paused for a moment, then continued, "My lady, when I was watching outside the door of the government hall, I discovered that Linchuan, the personal guard beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was also watching the government hall."
