Concubine Su is hosting a banquet today. She is also afraid of taking responsibility. She ordered people to send out invitations to various aristocratic families. Those assassins may have sneaked in from these people.
"I would like to inform you that the assassins were discovered in the West Palace when Captain Wu was on patrol. In addition to the fugitive assassins who are still being hunted, I have arrested and tied up eight assassins. They are now waiting for the emperor to be punished outside the palace."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she became even more panicked. Aunt Gui was talking about the eight assassins arranged.
I heard Gao Zan say again: "I sent people to search every corner of the palace. In addition to the Qing Fei of Bihua Palace who was brutally murdered, Gu Zhaoyi and more than a dozen palace maids were also brutally murdered."
The emperor said sadly: "All of them will be buried with lavish burials, and we must strictly investigate them. Where did the assassins come from, and what is their purpose?"
"In addition, Gao Zan has made great achievements in capturing the assassin this time, and I will reward you heavily." The emperor said.
Gao Zan quickly knelt down, "I don't dare to claim credit. This is all due to the prince's good leadership. The prince organized the fire fighting and ordered his ministers to defeat each one, so that the assassin could be captured and brought to justice." Gao Zan is also a smart man. Through Nangong Yuanyi, he If you get on the prince's boat, you will naturally have to show your loyalty to the prince.
Concubine Su became very happy when she heard that the newly appointed Commander Gao was full of praise for her son. Gao Zan was promoted by the emperor, so he was naturally loyal to the emperor. With Gao Zan's help in the future, his son would be crowned prince. More stable.
At this time, Eunuch Fu came in hurriedly with an urgent message in his hand: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from General Mei."
Everyone saw Eunuch Fu, who had always been steady, frowning, and suddenly became worried.
Chang Taifu was also thinking about the series of strange things that happened in the Northern Dynasty Palace. Since they arrived in the Northern Dynasty, troubles have happened one after another in the Northern Dynasty. King Jin's rebellion failed. Nangong Yuanyi's life experience was revealed and he was even demoted to a commoner in an instant. Now another person has entered the palace. assassin.
During his stay in the Northern Dynasties, Chang Taifu also learned that Xiao Daying was actually an elite soldier stationed to protect Kyoto.
Chang Taifu traveled around the world and naturally knew the deeds of Mei Yunfeng in the Northern Dynasty. Mei Yunfeng spent ten years to eliminate the intrusions from all parties and guard the frontier of the Northern Dynasty, ensuring the safety of the people there.
Emperor Nan recalled General Feng Zhongyong from Kyoto, and the emperor took the opportunity to hand over the authority of Xiao Daying to Mei Yunfeng.
The emperor frowned: "Send it up."
Eunuch Fu cautiously handed the emergency report to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor's face suddenly turned livid and said angrily: "Cangyi country is too rampant. I entertained them with good wine and food, but they actually took advantage of the opportunity to leave the capital." To cause nuisance to Xiao Daying.”
When Taifu Chang heard about the dispute between the two countries, he hesitated and said, "I don't know what troubles the emperor. I once went to Cangyi Kingdom as an envoy."
The emperor handed the urgent report to Duke Fu and said, "Teacher Chang is very knowledgeable, and the Cangyi Kingdom has never interfered with the Northern Dynasty. Please tell me what the purpose of the Cangyi Kingdom's late-night attack on Xiao Daying is."
Eunuch Fu said again: "Your Majesty, the soldier who delivered the message is outside the palace. Whether he is sent to the palace to reply, I am afraid only the soldier knows the specific details."
Taifu Chang also said: "There is nothing in the urgent report. I suggest that the soldiers who announced the letter meet in person to learn the details."
After a while, soldiers covered with wounds were seen stumbling into the palace.
When everyone saw the soldier's appearance, they knew he had gone through a bloody battle.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
