"I have evidence." Zeng Yongnuo said suddenly.
Cai Yan was startled suddenly, Zeng Yongnuo took out the two test papers that Duan Ling gave him, and even Mu Kuangda staggered to his feet.
"Early before this morning, all of you adults have read it." Zeng Yongnuo said, "These are the two answer sheets of Duan Ling and Cai Wen's younger brother Cai Yan when they were in Beijing. There is a seal at the end of the book as proof."
Zeng Yongnuo showed the test papers to everyone, and Cai Yan's face instantly turned pale.
"Just look at the prince's handwriting, and you'll know at a glance." Zeng Yongnuo said, "Although the cabinet and the censor's desk are used to seeing the prince's handwriting, they still need to be checked out."
"Envoys enter the temple!" the eunuch sang.
Outside the Jinluan Hall, the envoys of the four countries gathered, and Batu, Helianbo, Yelulu and Tenzin Wangjie entered the hall. All the ministers gave way.
When Tenzin Wangjie passed behind Duan Ling, he handed him an item, and Duan Ling quietly put it into his sleeve.
Han Bin said, "I heard that the prince and two of them were classmates back then. Does the prince recognize them?"
Cai Yan said in a trembling voice, "Bu'er Chijin... Batu, Helianbo."
"Cai Gou, you still remember me?" Batu laughed and said, "Well, it seems that you won't forget it, come down, let's have a fight? Since you want to pretend to be Duan Ling, you know Back then, Helianbo was Duan Ling's wrestling master, do you have two hands?"
Cai Yan never expected that Badu would actually let him wrestle.
"Since you said that your father is Li Jianhong, then that night," Batu said, "it was Emperor Chen and Duan Ling who helped my father and son leave Shangjing overnight, when the envoys first came to visit Chen. Many ministers here also heard it, and you nodded at the time, didn't you?"
After Cai Yan returned to Xichuan, the Yuan envoy did come to visit, and mentioned the life-saving grace that Li Jianhong and Duan Ling had helped Qichi and Batu escape from Shangjing. Cai Yan did not know about it at the time, so he nodded.
"I remember that there was indeed such a thing." Mu Kuangda said.
The Su Clan said: "The old man was also present at the time, and the Crown Prince admitted it himself. The rest of Lord Cheng and Lord Wang can all testify."
"Do you remember now?" Batu asked.
Cai Yan looked at Batu, nodding or shaking his head for a while. Looking at Lang Junxia as if asking for help.
"Naturally remember." Lang Junxia replied calmly.
Batu said, "What was the token given to you when you parted?"
Cai Yan said, "A dagger."
"Amugu asked you to show the dagger, what did you say?" Batu said, "You said you lost it, didn't you?"
"Wuluohoumu found it for me." Cai Yan said, "It's in the East Palace."
"Ask someone to find it?" Batu took a few steps in the hall, and then said, "On the last night of parting, where did you meet me?"
Now Cai Yan couldn't answer, he simply turned his heart away and said: "You are from Yuan, I am from Han, everything I say is wrong, my father is dead, your father is no longer alive, and there are witnesses. Can't it?!"
At this time, the historian found Cai Yan's handwriting, placed the test papers and the handwriting side by side on a wooden plate, held the plate, and showed them to the ministers in turn. The handwriting on the two volumes was exactly the same.
"The handwriting betrayed you." Batu said, "When you were in Beijing, you were called Cai Yan, not Duan Ling. You are the child of the Cai family, and you and Nan Chen have a bloody feud of looting the family and destroying the family!"
Behind Mu Kuangda, Fei Hongde nodded and said, "The old majesty used my countermeasures to trap your entire clan in a desperate situation. I didn't expect such a bitter fruit. But why did you come here?"
Cai Yan panted and looked at Lang Junxia, expecting him to say something. Lang Junxia took the initiative to say: "Yes, there is no need to find any token, I did all this."
The ministers were in an uproar in an instant, and even Cai Yan did not expect that Lang Junxia would recognize it so neatly.
"You... Lang Junxia!" Cai Yan roared, "What did you promise me!"
Han Bin laughed aloud and said, "Interesting, it seems that you are not the only one who turned the confession today! What else is there to say now?"
"You... Wuluohoumu!" the Su clan said angrily, "You cover the sky with only one hand, and you have deceived the court for so many years. Even the late His Majesty, the spirit of the late emperor in the sky, you dare to lie and deceive! Wuluohoumu! Where are the people in this world?! Where is Da Chen?!"
"My lords." Lang Junxia said seriously, "You and the Yuan people killed my clansmen and burned my village. The Wuluohou kingdom was fought by you for years and turned into a barren land. The Cai family was killed by your unreasonable designs. Guys, we're actually here for revenge."
In an instant, the court was silent, and Lang Junxia said again: "When Yuan and Chen fought, the people who died under your hands were only a few thousand, tens of thousands, memorials and a few lines in the military newspaper. For me, it was me. My family, my relatives, is this difficult to understand?"
The corners of Lang Junxia's mouth lifted slightly, speaking of the tragic reality, but with tenderness in his eyes, and said, "I was entrusted by the late emperor to find Duan Ling in Runan, raised him for five years, and watched him grow up. After the late emperor returned, I was ordered to go south and join Zhao Kui."
"Not long after, the late emperor borrowed troops to go south, and Zhao Kui ordered me to take the prince as a hostage, but it didn't take long for Xichuan to be taken back by the late emperor." Lang Junxia said slowly, "Then Shangjing fell, the prince was separated, life and death are unknown, Cai and I Yan agreed that I would help him become the crown prince, and he would avenge me."
"In this hall," Lang Junxia said, looking around the people in the hall, "all of them are my enemies from the past. One or two, over time, must be settled. This time, I lost. I want to bet with you and the world. , you should admit defeat."
"Then what about the real prince?" Zeng Yongnuo said, "Where is he now?"
Mu Kuangda said: "It must have been lost in the chaos of war and become a wandering soul in the wilderness."
"No." Lang Junxia said, "He is still alive, and he is in this hall."
In an instant, the courtiers swayed. This was something that everyone had not expected. The prince is still alive? !
Han Bin's face was ashen. When he heard these words, he suddenly glanced at the ministers. Sure enough, he saw Duan Ling at the end of the court team!
And at this moment, a messenger rushed into the hall.
"Report!" The commander of the Zhengbei Army panicked and said loudly, "The outer city has broken through the north gate!"
Han Bin stood up abruptly, but Duan Ling suddenly said, "Are you surprised? General Han?"
"You..." Han Bin was shocked and shouted, "Take him!"
"Who dares to take me!" Duan Ling said, "See what I have in my hand!"
An object appeared in Duan Ling's hand, it was actually a brilliant jade Huang, and everyone present was shocked.
"Seeing this thing is like seeing your Majesty in person." Duan Lingchao officials said, "Great Chen Chuan Guoyuhuang, no, have you seen clearly the Chuanguoyuhuang of the Han people in the Central Plains?"
"Duan Ling... Duan Ling..." Cai Yan trembled.
The courtier was shocked and looked at Duan Ling blankly. Wu Du stood beside Duan Ling, facing the soldiers of the Northern Army. The soldiers, armed with weapons, stepped forward to surround Duan Ling and Wu Du.
"Who dares to do it!" Batu shouted angrily, and then the envoys of the four countries stepped back and blocked in front of Duan Ling.
"General Han." Duan Ling said, "Do you want to go out and command your North Army as soon as possible, or stay in the hall and listen to me finish this story?"
Han Bin laughed angrily and said, "Okay, I want to hear what you want to say. Assemble the Northern Army and defend the inner city!"
"I'm Duan Ling." Duan Ling backhanded, showed the dagger in his right hand, and said, "This is the token that Boer Chijinbadu gave me back then, Cai Yan, look at it?"
"How come it's in your hands?!" Cai Yan exclaimed, "I obviously...no..."
"That year, I came with the dagger and wanted to give it to Wuluohou Mu to check." Duan Ling said, "I didn't expect it to be in your hands. You recognize this token."
Helianbo and Tenzin Wangjie had bright faces, apparently searching for it in the middle of the night, and finally found the dagger that was hidden by Cai Yan.
"My father named me Li Ruo. I am the real Li Ruo, Cai Yan! You shameless person, don't let me down!"
Duan Ling was furious, and Cai Yan suddenly trembled and said, "You promised, you promised me..."
"Everyone here is my witness." Duan Ling said, "Whoever goes to fetch my memorial, military report, and debriefing book, compare it with the one on the scroll, and you can tell."
The historian took Duan Ling's document, spread it on the plate, compared it with Duan Ling's test paper, and still showed it to the ministers.
"In the past, I went through nine deaths and a lifetime and returned to the court." Duan Ling said, "Cai Yan has taken my place, but I had no choice but to take refuge in Wudu. I went through Tongguan, Jiangzhou, and Hebei with him. Recognized with the fourth uncle, but was unexpectedly sent by the shepherd to assassinate him."
"I take the order of the late emperor and His Majesty." Duan Ling said, "hold the imperial jade of the country, and summon the great Chen, civil and military officials! Zhi Mu Kuangda colluded with Han Weiyong to murder the late emperor! Mu Kuangda sent assassins to murder my father! There are two letters as proof!"
Duan Ling took out the letter and placed it on the tray in the historian's hand.
"Which play is this?" Mu Kuangda laughed, "Teacher, if you think that all the adults will believe your nonsense, then you are too naive."
"It's right and wrong," Duan Ling said with a smile. "It's already in front of you. The iron evidence is like a mountain. Black is black, and white is white. So far, have you not confessed your guilt, Master? I still have evidence."
"This is evidence that Han Bin and Mu Kuangda secretly communicated letters, intending to rebel." Duan Ling took out the second stack of letters and distributed them to everyone. It was the letter found in Mu's mansion that night.
Everyone was completely shocked in front of Duan Ling again. The accident happened too fast. Although there had long been speculation that Mu Kuangda and Han Bin colluded, in this short quarter of an hour, it was difficult to accept the identity of the prince, Mu Kuangda and Han Bin rebelled. , and everything inside.
"Everyone." Duan Ling said, "Think about it clearly, put down your weapons now, and let go of the past."
"Nonsense!" Han Bin laughed wildly, "Do you really believe it? Let me tell you."
The screams of killing had reached the square outside the hall, and there was a sudden commotion in the hall.
Han Bin roared: "In this world, there is no real prince at all. Emperor Wu had no heirs! The only descendant of the Duan family who was brought to Beijing is also a well-planned scam!"
"That's right, even the original 'Duanling'." Mu Kuangda said slowly, "It was also a pretext that Wuluohoumu deliberately created. When you look at his face, how does he look like the late emperor?"
"Master, your reaction is quite quick." Duan Ling said, "But you have done all the calculations, and you have missed one thing."
"You have to come up with evidence." Mu Kuangda said leisurely, "How to prove that Li Jianhong is your father? If you can prove this, you don't have to do it, I will kill myself to thank the world. Sirs, Yao Fu has rebelled a long time ago. My heart, at the beginning, I rebelled and assassinated Your Majesty. Then I put the blame on me. Now that His Majesty has died, I have found my apprentice to pretend to be the Prince.”
Han Bin sneered: "Who do you believe? Just a word from him, and the jade Huang from somewhere?"
Duan Ling shouted: "The Son of Heaven is here! Who is still obsessed!"
Zeng Yongnuo looked at Duan Ling, then looked at Cai Yan. Cai Yan's face was as pale as earth, which formed a great contrast with Duan Ling at the foot of the stairs. He didn't know what to do for a while.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Yes, you are the real prince."
"Junior Brother, you..." Huang Jian said in a trembling voice.
"Senior brother." Duan Ling said, "You choose it yourself. Heaven and Earth are in person, and you are in front of the teacher."
Huang Jian finally got up, came to Duan Ling, and faced Han Bin with him. All the courtiers moved for a while, but the civil servants were surprisingly unanimous, standing behind Duan Ling.
"Very good." Mu Kuangda said, "Such a clumsy lie can actually deceive the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, apprentice, you really have deliberated and planned for a long time."
"All the envoys here are lies?" Duan Ling laughed instead, "The handwriting is also a lie? Even the person next to the throne is a lie?!"
Lang Junxia stepped down from the throne, came to Duan Ling, was silent for a long time, and then knelt on his knees.
Duan Ling looked down at Lang Junxia, and now there is no need to say anything.
"The Black Armored Army came in—"
Outside the school grounds, Zhengbei Army shouted.
"Take them all!" Han Bin said.
As soon as Han Bin finished speaking, the army of Zhengbei pulled out their swords and rushed from all corners of the hall. Lang Junxia walked down quickly, took a step forward, and protected Duan Ling.
"Everyone, you have to be ready to die for the prince." Duan Ling said, "It's too late to regret it now."
"Han Bin, assuming that you don't believe that the person in front of you is the real Son of Heaven, and you want to do your best." Changliujun said in a voice, "Then you think the last blood of the Li family is gone."
Mu Jin screamed and was dragged into the main hall by Changliu-jun along the side door behind the screen. A group of black armored warriors rushed in and immediately took control of the throne, forming a confrontation with the North Army.
"Jinzhi!" Mu Kuangda exclaimed in shock.
"Lord Changliu!" Han Bin roared, "You actually betrayed the Lord for glory!"
Lord Changliu said again: "If you dare to do something, I will dare to kill her, and everyone will be scattered, and no one will need to be the emperor."
"Stop." Mu Kuangda said immediately.
Han Bin moved his lips slightly and spit out a word:
"kill."
