That night, Chen Jingming, the Minister of Punishment, was in a very bad mood.
I have been thinking in my heart whether being with King Yong is the right choice.
I struggled for a long time with no clear intention.
So he simply called Shen Liancheng, the minister of Dali Temple, to have a few drinks.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Chen Jingming downed a few glasses of wine.
"Master Chen is so worried, is there something on his mind?" Shen Liancheng asked.
"Hey, Mr. Shen, I don't know whether to say something or not." Chen Jingming sighed and said.
"Master Chen, it's okay to say so."
"If possible, I will help Mr. Chen solve it." Shen Liancheng said.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Shen."
"We were exposed in court a few days ago."
"The prince actually directly ordered His Majesty to remove us from our posts and lock us up."
"I've been thinking these past few days whether we followed the wrong person."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jingming drank another glass of wine.
Hearing Chen Jingming's words, Shen Liancheng's eyes flashed coldly.
Chen Jingming took advantage of his drunkenness and did not notice it.
"Brother Chen, listen to my brother."
"The prince advised His Majesty to imprison us. It was really a helpless move."
"We should be considerate." Shen Liancheng said.
"Of course I know he did it out of necessity!" Chen Jingming suddenly raised his voice.
"He was afraid that we would expose him, so that's why he did this."
"If General Di hadn't come forward and suggested it, Your Majesty would have given us some mercy for the sake of the old minister."
“There’s no way we’re still here drinking in peace.”
Chen Jingming became more and more excited, and finally almost shouted.
Shen Liancheng looked at Chen Jingming who was so angry and squinted his eyes.
"Okay, Brother Chen."
"Stop talking about this, let's drink!"
Shen Liancheng immediately regained his composure and started drinking with Chen Jingming.
"I made a decision!"
Chen Jingming put down his wine glass and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"What to decide?" Shen Liancheng asked.
"I want to take refuge with Your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Liancheng immediately
"Brother Shen, although it's a little late for us to wake up now."
"But at least it can save lives."
"Why don't we surrender to His Majesty?" Chen Jingming replied.
Looking at Chen Jingming's firm expression, Shen Liancheng already knew.
This is a rebellion against King Yong.
Shen Liancheng thought for a moment.
"Okay, let's go to meet His Majesty together tomorrow."
"Drink first."
"good."
The two drank together again.
For a long time, Chen Jingming was completely drunk, but Shen Liancheng remained sober.
Looking at Chen Jingming lying on the table, Shen Liancheng sneered.
"Since you want to betray King Yong, don't blame me for being rude."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Liancheng walked out of Chen Jingming's mansion.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Jingming woke up leisurely.
However, Shen Liancheng had already left at this time, and the guards outside the door had also disappeared.
Years of experience in officialdom battles told Chen Jingming that danger was coming.
Thinking of this moment, Chen Jingming's drunkenness was mostly gone, and he immediately got up and headed to Tai Chi Hall.
Under the current situation, as long as he sees Jiang Qiulu, he can survive.
Chen Jingming ran quickly towards Tai Chi Hall and didn't care if he fell down on the way.
Get up and keep going.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front, blocking Chen Jingming's way.
"Master Chen is so anxious, where do you want to go?" the man in black asked.
This man had his face covered, and Chen Jingming could not see his face clearly.
But the sound felt very familiar.
"Who are you?" Chen Jingming asked.
"It does not matter."
"On the other hand, Mr. Chen, your response is very quick."
"But the prince will not let you reach the Tai Chi Palace alive."
At this moment, Chen Jingming finally knew the identity of the person in front of him.
"So it's you! Did King Yong send you here?"
"Do you still dare to kill me in Kyoto City?"
The man in black sneered.
"It's useless to say more, Mr. Chen."
"Go on your way with peace of mind!"
The next moment, the man in black pulled out his long sword and rushed towards Chen Jingming.
With a strong desire to survive, Chen Jingming dodged the blow in embarrassment.
Then keep running forward.
Just when Chen Jingming was about to call for help, the expression on his face suddenly became dull.
The footsteps also stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the whole person fell down.
A dart that was still shining with a faint cold light was inserted into the back of Chen Jingming's heart.
"Want to run?"
The man in black stepped forward, preparing to check Chen Jingming's body.
But the next moment, the man in black turned his head subconsciously and found a group of guards in uniforms rushing towards them.
"Damn it!"
The man in black cursed angrily and fled immediately.
Soon, the Jinyi guards discovered Chen Jingming's body and immediately stepped forward to check.
"This is... Mr. Chen, the Minister of Punishment?" A Xiaoqi asked in surprise.
"This matter is not trivial. Report it to Ambassador Chen Zhen immediately!" the leading general stood up and said immediately.
Immediately afterwards, some Jinyi guards stayed here to protect the scene.
The general flag quickly headed to Nanzhen Fusi.
"Envoy Chen Zhen, there is an emergency!"
The commander in chief just rushed into the Zhenfu Division and said immediately.
"Speak slowly!"
Chen Fei, the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, turned around and looked at him.
"Master Chen, the Minister of Punishment, died tragically on Chengdong Street in Kyoto."
"Our people are still protecting the scene."
These two short sentences made Chen Fei instantly furious.
"What did you say?"
Chen Fei rushed to the general flag and asked.
Even though Chen Fei was as calm as Chen Fei, he was quite shocked after hearing the news.
For a moment, Chen Fei calmed down.
"I will take people there immediately."
"Go to Taiji Hall and inform Commander Di and His Majesty."
"The imperial court official died tragically in Kyoto. This incident has a great impact."
"Your Majesty and the Commander must be asked to take charge of the overall situation."
"Go quickly!"
"promise!"
So the two soldiers divided into two groups.
Chen Fei took people to East Street, and the general flag went to Tai Chi Hall.
…
"Your Majesty, Wang Xu, the commander-in-chief of Nanzhen Fusi, wants to see you urgently!" A guard entered the imperial study and said.
At this time, Jiang Qiulu was looking at the account books and planning his industry plan.
Hearing the word "urgent", Jiang Qiulu realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately put down the account book in his hand.
"Hurry up!"
The next moment, Wang Xu entered the imperial study room.
"What's important, Mr. Wang Qi?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"Your Majesty, Chen Jingming, the Minister of Punishment, died tragically on Dongjie."
"Envoy Chen Zhen has already led people to the scene."
boom!
The pores all over Jiang Qiulu's body exploded instantly.
Di Yunhao on the side heard the news and immediately rushed forward.
"When was it discovered?"
"Less than half an hour!" Wang Xu replied.
"You go to the scene first, and I'll be there soon."
"promise!"
Jiang Qiulu stood up and went with Di Yunhao.
"Your Majesty, this matter has far-reaching consequences."
"Chen Jingming was an old man from my Daxia Dynasty, and now he died tragically in Kyoto."
"It's bound to cause panic."
On the way, Di Yunhao said to Jiang Qiulu.
