Bai Shaoxie and Cao Ah Man arrived at the imperial city at about the same time. When they saw each other, they were a little surprised. They rarely saw each other on weekdays. Unexpectedly, they were summoned by the emperor at the same time this time. Bai Shaoxie took a deep look at Cao Ah Man. , snorted coldly and stepped into Qianqing Palace first.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Bai Shaoxie noticed the unusual atmosphere. The air in the hall seemed to be solidified, very quiet, making people feel suffocating.
Cao Ah Man also discovered the emperor's abnormality and couldn't help but recall what Cao Zhengchun told him when he left Beijing a few days ago.
'Is there really something hidden in that case? '
When he was investigating the case of Wang Changming, Cao Ah Man vaguely felt that there was a pair of masterminds behind everything. However, when he discovered that the emperor had closed the case at an extraordinary speed, he did not continue to pursue it, for fear that he would displease the emperor by raising it rashly. .
"Your Majesty, Bai Shaoxie, I respectfully send you greetings!"
"Your Majesty, Cao Ahao, respectfully greets you!"
The emperor raised his hand to indicate that the two of them were level, but he remained silent. His expression was clearly hesitant. Complex emotions were intertwined deep in the emperor's heart. The conflicting mood was like a poisonous snake biting his guts. dirty.
Everyone present had different thoughts, but Ning Yuan always maintained the clay sculpture look of his eyes, nose, and heart.
Cao A'ao kept his head down after entering the palace gate, concentrating on thinking hard about the reason why the emperor looked like this.
Bai Shaoxie's heart did not waver. Anyway, he would do whatever the emperor asked him to do. He just needed to position himself and be the sharpest weapon in the emperor's hand. God would kill the god if he blocked it, and Buddha if he blocked it.
Pu Xing was uneasy and a little confused. He had no idea what was going on, and he had been away from home for a long time. The frozen atmosphere made him breathless.
After a long time, the emperor seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart. The long struggle in his heart seemed to have exhausted his mind. His voice seemed a little hoarse, and he handed the secret letter on the desk to Ning Yuan beside him.
"Take a look!"
Ning Yuan carefully took the secret letter with both hands and read it at a glance. The content of the letter was shocking. A cold air suddenly rushed up, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. It was not until this moment that he suddenly understood and finally understood why His Majesty was so angry. Furious.
After reading it quickly, Ning Yuan handed the secret letter to Bai Shaoxie, and then Bai Shaoxie passed it on to Cao Aman. It was not until the end that Pu Xing, the sender, knew exactly what he was sending. Anyone who had read the secret letter Everyone was shocked by what was recorded in the letter.
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
For a long time, no one answered. Pu Xing didn't know how to answer, and the other three didn't dare to answer. Who didn't know the importance of King Zhennan in the emperor's heart, and no one would touch this problem before the emperor expressed his stance. Once you touch the wrong pulse gate, it will add fuel to the fire, and even cause the fire to burn you.
"well!"
The emperor sighed heavily, how could he not know what these old foxes were thinking.
"Bai Aiqing obeys the order!"
Bai Shaoxie took a step forward after hearing the words, and the emperor spoke.
"First, activate the highest level of alert, use all the spies hidden in other countries by Jinyiwei, and do our best to find out the movements of surrounding countries at all costs! Especially Beiyuan! If there is any abnormality, report immediately!
Second, order the Jinyi Guards in various places to try their best to explore the trends of the Demon Cult, and at the same time monitor the abnormal situations of various sects. "
Bai Shaoxie immediately left Qianqing Palace after receiving the order, and rushed all the way back to Jinyiwei Yamen.
"Cao Aiqing obeys the order!
1. Investigate all officials who have contact with King Zhennan, especially military generals;
Second, send someone to secretly monitor every move of King Zhennan. It needs to be secretive. Do you understand?
Third, secretly investigate all the industries under Zhennan Palace to find out the flow of funds.
Four, that’s it for now. "
After Bai Shaoxie and Cao Zhengchun left, the back hall became quiet again, and you could hear a needle drop.
After a while, the emperor noticed Pu Xing standing there motionless from the corner of his eye: "Pu Xing, go back and tell Lao Ba to come back and have a look when he has time."
Upon hearing this, Pu Xing bowed and said yes, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He could finally leave here. It wasn't until he walked out of the palace door that he noticed that at some point, the clothes behind him had been soaked with cold sweat.
'call! Finally came out. The atmosphere inside was really terrible. I don’t know how Manager Ning got here all these years. '
Thinking of this, Pu Xing felt a little lucky in his heart. Thanks to His Highness, he had no intention of seizing the throne. If His Highness really became the emperor, Manager Ning's current life would be a replica of his future.
Pu Xing shook his head secretly, suppressed the random thoughts in his heart, and did not stop in the capital. He simply bought some dry food and returned to Wuzheng Villa without stopping.
In the Palace of Qianqing, until everyone dispersed, only the Emperor and Ning Yuan were left in the palace. The Emperor took off his disguise and lay limply on the dragon chair. The past was rolling through his mind like a flood, vividly in his mind. eyes, a look of reminiscence can't help but appear on his face.
"Ning Daban, why do you think he did this? Why?"
Facing the emperor's question, Ning Yuan had no choice but to respond silently. It wasn't that he didn't dare to answer this time, but that he really didn't know where to start with the myriad of things going on. Along the way, the relationship between the emperor and the king of Zhennan was revealed through ups and downs. He was one of the few witnesses, and he couldn't figure out what King Zhennan was doing.
Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
"I don't know, veteran."
The emperor looked straight into the distance and murmured: "Don't you know? Yes, how could you know."
As the two most powerful swords in the hands of the emperor, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have great power. With all their strength, few things in the world can be hidden from them.
Although the King of Zhennan hid everything very well, he would leave traces wherever he walked. There were always some things that he could not cover up. Urgent and secret reports were quietly imported into the capital.
As time passed day by day, Jinyiwei and Dongchang found out more and more things. Although many of them were minor details, when all these were brought together, the thoughts of Zhennan Wang Buchen became clear. .
The emperor was extremely disappointed. During this period, he never showed a smile on his face. Even his usual appetite for meals was affected. He had no appetite every time he ate, and he only tasted it.
In just half a month, he lost ten pounds, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheekbones were protruding, and his complexion was dull. All the civil and military ministers and concubines in the harem thought that the emperor had some illness. The hospital was very busy during this period.
At this time, the secret reports sent back by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang had piled up on the Long Case. After reading the latest secret report, the emperor gently placed it on the table.
His thoughts were like a mess that could not be cleared up. The emperor sat blankly for nearly an hour, making a decision in his heart.
"Ning Daban, bring me pen and ink!"
The emperor picked up the brush handed over by Ning Yuan, sat in front of the stage, and wrote six big characters with a splash of ink.
Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!
"Ning Daban, please order these words and part of the secret report on the table to be sent to Zhennan Prince's Mansion as quickly as possible!"
