In the morning, the first ray of morning light appeared in the sky.

As soon as the city gate of Beiping opened, there were already people queuing up to get out of the city.

Usually, the city gate was not too crowded at such an early age, but since the past two days, the city has strengthened patrols, and even leaving the city is much stricter than usual. Everyone has to be interrogated and carriages and horses have to be inspected.

So, early in the morning, a long line was lined up at the city gate.

The sun came out soon.

The city gate was illuminated, and the people in line could be seen showing anxious expressions on their faces, and the teahouse on the street was also placed. The people sitting in the teahouse drinking tea were leisurely and chatting.

At this time, a carriage slowly drove from the avenue.

The carriage is large and comfortable. You can tell at a glance that the people sitting inside must be either rich or noble, so people on both sides of the avenue have given way, but when they walk near the city gate, the people here are queuing up, so they really can't give way.

The carriage stopped.

An old and calm voice came from the carriage: "What's going on?"

The attendant sitting in front of the carriage looked up and said, "Duke, the people who are checking and interrogating the coming and going at the gate of the city."

"oh?"

The people inside stopped talking.

The attendant jumped off the frame and said, "Please wait for the Duke, the villain will go and tell them now."

Obviously, we have to pass these people and leave the city early.

"Oh," the person in the car stopped him, saying, "Don't be impatient, we are not in a hurry."

“…”

"Besides, at this time, don't have any disputes."

The attendant was a little surprised when he heard this, and opened his eyes wide and looked at the carriage where the curtains were not moved.

Then he said, "Yes."

So the carriage followed the team ahead, moving forward little by little, just to the teahouse.

In the teahouse, several people who seemed to be idle were bragging.

After chatting around the world for a while, a man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that King Ning is dead?"

Someone next to him said, "Who doesn't know this?"

"Do you know who killed King Ning?"

"Who can he kill him if he rebels? Of course, the emperor ordered the killing."

"You are wrong," the man looked mysterious and leaned over and said, "I tell you, it was not the one who ordered the emperor to kill, but the emperor himself!"

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Someone immediately said, "How is this possible? Are you a real brother? Even if rebellion is a serious crime, the emperor cannot kill his brother with his own hands."

The man sneered and said, "You don't understand this. It's not the charge of rebellion that King Ning died. Think about it, a few years ago, King Jing also rebelled on the border of Yongzhou, but he is still locked up now. The emperor has not killed him for so many years. Why did King Ning rebellion this time and he was killed just a few days after he was arrested?"

Everyone also heard the interest at this time and hurriedly asked, "Why why?"

"Because"

The man looked around, then reached out to cover his mouth, and said in a very low voice, but everyone could hear it: "Because, the banner that King Ning used to rebel this time was orthodox."

"Orthodox? What does it mean? Isn't the emperor orthodox?"

"That's right, even if the emperor's throne was stolen, he is also the son of Emperor Gao."

The man said, "This is the problem."

His voice lowered a little, and he said, "I heard that on the first day of the emperor's movement of the capital, when the altar was sacrificed, King Ning proposed that the emperor was not born to Empress Chen first."

"What?!"

There was an uproar around.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the man in disbelief. The man continued: "This time, King Ning rebelled and was killed, which is said to be the reason. There is news from Changqing City, Hecheng City, and the court that the current emperor is not only born to Empress Chen, but not even Gao."

Speaking of this, the owner of the teahouse came over and said, "Don't talk nonsense, behead your head!"

The man sneered: "What are you afraid of? Now everyone knows this."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, go to the city and take a look. This is all about it."

"Who said this? Is it credible?"

"I heard that it was reported from the court, otherwise, how could we know that King Ning was killed by the emperor himself?"

The man spoke vividly, and the people around him were skeptical and were talking.

The breeze blew, causing the curtains on the car window to sway.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the inside and pressed the curtain down. Although the curtain was pressed down, it could not hide a chuckle in the carriage.

The team in front finally began to move, and the carriage drove forward.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the city gate. When the soldiers guarding the city saw the carriage, they realized that a big man had arrived and hurriedly surrounded him.

"Who is the person in the car?"

"Get out of the car for inspection."

When the attendant sitting on the frame heard this, he immediately showed anger and said, "You are so brave. Do you know who the person in the car is?"

One of the soldiers guarding the city was young and didn't know the importance of it. He said directly: "No matter who you are? We are ordered to check here. No matter who you are, you must get off the bus!"

"you"

Just as they were about to argue, an old voice came from the carriage: "Don't mess around."

Everyone looked up and saw the curtain on the carriage lifted a little by one hand, revealing a wrinkled face. It was Duke Cheng Guowu Yingqiu!

"Duke?!"

When the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was him, they were shocked and hurriedly knelt down: "Greetings to the Duke."

“No need to be polite.”

Wu Yingqiu looked at them with a smile and said, "Do you want to check me?"

The soldier was also upright and knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Duke. We are ordered to defend the city here. Anyone's carriage and horses will be checked in and out."

The servant next to him suddenly became angry and pointed at him and said angrily: "You are so brave. You even need to investigate the Duke's carriage? Do you know that this time, the Duke's rebellion was resolute, and the Duke's protection was a meritorious. Even the emperor praised the Duke and gave the Duke the power to enter and exit the palace freely. Even the Duke's in the palace can enter and exit freely. You, a small city guard, dare to investigate the Duke?!"

The soldier was snatched by him and his face turned red.

At this time, the leader of the guards on the side also came forward and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know the loyalty and righteousness of the Duke, we can't find the Duke's head. Let it go, let it go!"

Everyone hurriedly stepped back.

Wu Yingqiu said with a smile: "Then, I'll leave. If there is someone you are looking for in this carriage, you won't be able to find it."

The leader smiled and said, "The Duke was joking."

Wu Yingqiu put down the curtain.
