The next day.
Morning!
The Eight Kings appeared in Deshun Hall.
Before going to court, the officials rested in Deshun Hall.
When the emperor announced that he would go to court, the officials would rush to the main hall.
According to the normal time for going to court, the time for four sticks of incense has passed.
However, the emperor still did not announce his intention to go to court.
The ministers talked a lot.
"Why hasn't the emperor announced that he will go to court?"
"Yes, it's been too long. Could it be that some accident happened?"
"I'm worried. In the past, even if there was any special reason why I couldn't go to court, I would give an explanation. But now, there is no explanation. Gao Shangtian has never appeared. This situation is too bad."
"Yes, yes, I am very confused. Could it be that the emperor has..."
…
"Whoever dares to talk nonsense and spread confusing news will be beaten to pieces by me."
An Sihai stood up immediately, frowning coldly, rolling up his arms and sleeves, staring at those people talking nonsense with red eyes.
Very fierce.
It looks like it can eat people.
An Sihai saw clearly that the people who spread rumors and caused trouble and made a little bit of malicious exaggeration were all Yang Ke's bunch of thugs.
This gang of losers usually hides very deep, and the distribution of their power cannot be seen.
Today, there may be a big change.
These scoundrels finally showed their vicious and ugly faces.
If this malicious exaggeration is allowed to continue, Chaogang will be confused and the camp of Yan Qi will be shaken.
When An Sihai lost his temper like this, the losers all shrank their heads and no longer dared to openly exaggerate the chaotic atmosphere.
Yang Ke had a mocking look on his face and said arrogantly: "Young Master An, please blame me. Your Excellencies are also worried about the country."
An Sihai pointed at Yang Ke: "Cursing the Emperor is also called worrying about the country?"
Yang Ke argued: "What is a curse? It's a discussion of facts."
An Sihai yelled: "What do you mean by facts? Could it be that those idiots who just hinted that the emperor died turned out to be a fact in your ears? If the emperor had not died, would you have been punished by death? Will the nine clans be implicated?"
"I……"
Yang Ke was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat: "I didn't say that the emperor died. Old man An, don't blame me."
An Sihai said: "I'll slap your mother's hat on you. From now on, close your sewer. If you dare to talk nonsense and encourage chaos, I will definitely punish you with death."
"snort!"
Yang Ke's face was ashen, he just snorted a few times and didn't dare to say anything more.
If the old emperor barely survives, he will really curse the old emperor to death.
This is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans.
Don't dare to talk nonsense.
Yang Ke closed the sewer, and all the fundamental ministers remained silent and did not dare to speak out.
Above the court, it became extremely quiet.
Vice Prime Minister Tong Jian, Minister of Rites Zhao Qing, and Minister of Punishments Qi Ying, with worries written all over their faces, gathered together and discussed in extremely low voices.
Zhao Qing said: "Brothers, what should we do now? The emperor has not gone to court yet, and the overall situation is not good. We must be prepared."
Tong Jian said: "We really need to take precautions before they happen. It seems that Bawang, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu have become tigers. They are determined to win today."
Qi Ying sighed with emotion: "Hey, it would be great if Lord Yan were here, but it's a pity that Lord Yan is not here. We are like stragglers, fighting indiscriminately. We have no rules and don't know what to do."
An Sihai, a stubborn old man, came over and said angrily: "Don't be cowardly. Today, there will definitely be a fierce fight. For the sake of my country and the people, I will never compromise with the Eight Kings. I would rather spill blood in the court than stop it." Eight kings usurped power and seized the throne.”
Zhao Qing, Tong Jian, and Qi Ying said in unison: "We have the same idea as Yushi An, and we are determined to die and will never let the eight kings come to power."
Everyone looked at each other, united, and had a strong aura.
They suddenly realized why Tao Shen was missing?
Tao Shen is a general, why didn't he show up?
At the critical moment, they still need Tao Shen to hold the scene.
After all, Tao Shen holds powerful soldiers and can endorse ministers.
After a long time, Tao Shen entered Deshun Hall.
"General Taoshen."
Tong Jian and others gathered around.
"Why did you come?"
"I said Tao Shen, what have you been doing?"
"At the critical moment, you can't let your guard down."
…
Everyone is criticizing.
Tao Shen smiled slightly.
In fact, he made major arrangements according to Yan Qi's plan.
However, the secret must not be revealed.
Tao Shen said: "I went to bed late last night and woke up late today. Sirs, please don't blame me."
"Oh, Tao Shen, how could you oversleep at such a critical moment?"
Tong Jian and others complained.
There is indeed some dissatisfaction.
Tao Shen didn't explain, and just waited for a battle to break out.
…
The Eight Kings had a special status, so they closed their eyes and rested in a single room.
He could clearly hear the quarrel outside.
Everything is within his calculation.
Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu opened the door and came in.
The Eighth Prince had a sullen face and fierce eyes: "That old man An Sihai still refuses to accept it."
Yang Ke's expression was dull: "So what if he doesn't accept it? As long as the Eighth Prince becomes the emperor, I will be the first to skin An Sihai. This old guy has been fighting against me all his life. He is so disgusting."
The Eighth Prince looked at Zhang Yongwu with a solemn expression: "Are you all ready?"
Zhang Yongwu smiled sinisterly: "We are all ready. As soon as the eight kings sit on the throne of the emperor, I will immediately take action and kill Tong Jian, Zhao Qing and their like."
The Eight Kings said: "You have to be careful about Tao Shen."
Zhang Yongwu grinned: "I have secretly deployed 200,000 troops. Just waiting for me to give the order, the 200,000 troops came out in full force. Tao Shen was not prepared, so what if he is a god? They are not the souls killed by my sword."
The Eighth Prince nodded slowly: "Very good."
He looked out the window and let out a long breath: "The old man hasn't gone to court yet. Could it be that he died on the dragon bed? If he really died, that would be great, great."
The Eight Kings' eyes were fixed on the lush tree outside the window.
Swallows are flying and chirping.
"It's so noisy, why is it Swallow again?"
The Eight Kings took another closer look.
day!
He froze.
In an instant, cold sweat poured out like rain.
Drenched all over.
"ah!"
Ba Wang tilted his head and almost fell down.
Zhang Yongwu and Yang Ke rushed forward and supported the eight kings.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't scare us."
The Eighth Prince shivered and pointed out the window: "Look, what is that... what is that?"
Zhang Yongwu said: "Isn't it just a few swallows?"
The eighth king was panting: "Count quickly, how many swallows are there?"
Zhang Yongwu clapped his fingers: "One, two, three... seven, a total of seven swallows."
At this point, Zhang Yongwu himself was stunned.
Yang Ke's eyes were filled with fear: "Seven swallows? Yan... Yan Qi?"
Bawang's muscles were cramped and his expression was ferocious.
Yang Ke's eyes were dull.
Zhang Yongwu looked embarrassed and at a loss.
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and then at the same time looked out the window at the seven chirping swallows.
Listening to those Yan Qi's chirping calls, it was very much like Yan Qi's laughter, lingering in their ears.
This is upsetting.
That confusion.
