"What do you mean? Father? You mean...no, right?"
"What can't you do? Your Majesty is smart and brave. Prince, you should also know that the foreign immortals are coming soon. Before that, the Emperor must clear away all the unstable factors in the court, so that you can let go. Dealing with foreign immortals."
"Am I going to be a destabilizing factor?" the prince asked in disbelief.
The official glanced at the prince and said helplessly: "Prince, you are the most unstable factor, followed by King Shengwu and other aristocratic families."
"King Shengwu would never dare to rebel against the arrival of foreign immortals from outside the territory. He would even fight desperately. Although King Shengwu covets the position of the great treasure, many things are still clear to him. He just resents the emperor... the Supreme Emperor. That's why I want to take back the throne, but if something goes wrong with Jiangshan Sheji, King Shengwu will make the right choice."
"And those aristocratic families have nothing to worry about. Their strength is average, and all they can do is fight away the foreign fairy queens. They will wait until the power in the emperor's hands is relatively sparse before taking action. But now, haha, they don't have that yet. Have the guts to go and have a head-on confrontation with the foreign immortals!"
"But Prince, you are different. You are the only legitimate successor to the throne. If something happens to the Emperor, you will be the next Emperor!"
The expression on the prince's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
"Doesn't this mean that I will definitely die?"
The official shook his head slightly: "If the emperor captures the prince and does it immediately, then he will definitely die. But now that it has been delayed for so many days and you have not been convicted yet, it means that there is still room for change. Maybe the emperor has something else. Think about it, maybe something happened suddenly that made the emperor hesitate."
The prince frowned and said, "Based on what I know about my father, he has always been resolute and resolute. Whatever he decides will be carried out and it is difficult to change his mind."
The official nodded and said, "So, something very important must have happened to make the emperor hesitate!"
"Teacher, do you think there is any way I can save myself now?"
The official sighed helplessly: "In front of the emperor, any small action is in vain! Moreover, if you don't do it well, you will definitely be wrong if you do it! The things you did in private before are nothing, I will help you deal with it Once your hands are clean, nothing will fall into the Emperor's hands. As long as the Emperor has no intention of killing you, there is still hope!"
"Just wait quietly for your fate!" After saying that, the official stood up and walked out of the room where the prince was imprisoned.
Standing in front of the door, watching the teacher leaving, he looked worried.
"Prince, what are your orders for calling me here?" A phantom appeared in the shadow behind the prince.
The prince closed the door and whispered: "Dead silence! There is one thing you must do for me no matter what, and you must do it quickly!"
"The Ancestor Worship Ceremony has been completed. I sent two people to attend the Ancestor Worship Ceremony. They are Lantern Master Xiu Chun and the unidentified Lord Green Snake. These two people must be eliminated as soon as possible. You must not ask me to give orders. Leak it out! This prince's life is at stake, so we must not be careless!"
The shadow didn't respond, and disappeared into the shadow in a flash.
"Teacher, you don't know about this, I have already touched my father's reverse scale!"
"The little guy seems to be taking action."
Grandma Qiu said.
Xue and the princess immediately came closer: "Grandma, what did you see?"
"Honestly, I am very curious about how he was able to involve my brothers and sisters in this massacre. I even think that it is impossible to do. It is just a pretext that he wants to deceive three treasures. .”
"But I also feel that no one in the world would come to deceive a princess like me for three treasures. After all, even if he gets the treasure and can't do what I want him to do, he will die without a burial place."
Grandma Qiu also said: "Yeah, I don't know what he wants to do. Now that he has the three treasures in his hands, we should see how he uses these treasures, and we should be able to get a clue!"
"He is now outside the Yamen."
"Yamen? Why is he going to the yamen? It's already dark now, there's no one in the yamen!"
"It seems like he wants to do something shady in the dark!"
"He is hiding on the street outside the Yamen. I don't know what he is going to do. Maybe it is still early and there are still people walking on the street, so it is not convenient for him to do it."
It was now the depth of winter, and the night was getting colder and colder. Half an hour later, there were no more pedestrians on the street, and the road was so dark that it felt like walking into a ghost land.
"This guy is quite patient, but now he finally moves!"
Xue and Princess, who were already feeling very bored and were napping on their chairs, jumped up and immediately came to Grandma Qiu's side.
Although she couldn't see anything, it didn't stop her from being curious.
"What is he doing?"
"He was pasting something on the pillar where the Emperor's List is placed. Just pasting something on that pillar is a crime of disrespect."
"What is he posting?" Princess Xuehe had many guesses about Lin Beichen, and what kind of strategy could be used to involve all the princes.
After thinking about it, I just felt that it was a mystery. Now it seems that the time has come for this mystery to be revealed.
Grandma Qiu shook her head and said: "It's hard to see clearly. The aura in the Imperial City is too mixed, and I can't put too much spiritual power into him, otherwise the old monsters hidden in the Imperial City will put their thoughts into it. Trouble."
Princess Xue and Princess were so itchy that they wished they could stand next to Lin Beichen and watch his every move.
"What he posted seems to be a notice. There is a line of text on the notice that I can't see clearly. I don't know what he is doing."
"Hey, he's gone."
"It looks like he's going back to his apartment. It's strange. He came out so late just to post a notice?"
"I really want to send someone to see what he posted." Snow and Princess rubbed their little hands together.
"Absolutely not. No matter what he posted, we must be completely and completely separated from him. We must not be associated with what he did."
"We may know what's posted early tomorrow morning."
Lin Beichen returned home and fell asleep, seemingly just doing a trivial thing.
In the early morning of the second day, it was a rare good weather. The sun appeared early and the blue sky was as clear and transparent as the clear sea water.
The door of the yamen opened, and the several swordsmen and pen clerks on night duty came out one after another, stretched out their waists.
During this period, the emperor imprisoned many ministers, and even people like the prince were detained in the palace. Everyone in the Kyoto Yamen is very cautious. If anything happens in Kyoto, they will do it as soon as possible. They will never be sloppy, just for fear that any gossip will spread to the emperor's ears.
When the time comes, it will be small if it is removed by accident, and it will be a tragedy if the head is cut off directly.
After a night's work, the swordsmen and penmen were very tired. There was no oil or water in their errands at all, unlike those head catchers who could scrape off a layer of oil wherever they went.
Therefore, all these knife and pen officials are skinny and skinny.
"Old Qin, how about we go have a bowl of wontons to warm our stomachs, and then we go home?" The knife clerk named Qin was obviously a little moved, but he still shook his head: "Let's forget it, my wife must have made breakfast. Waiting for me."
After saying that Lao Qin was willing to stop collaborating with them, at a casual glance, he discovered that something was a little strange.
Old Qin rubbed his eyes and walked around the room before finally realizing what was wrong.
"You guys, come here quickly. Did you pass the exam yesterday?"
"Release the list? Are you kidding me? The imperial list has not been released for half a year."
"Then what is this?" Lao Qin asked in surprise.
Several swordsmen and pen officials immediately came over and they saw the piece of paper on the imperial list!
Lao Qin shook his head while reciting, and as soon as he said the first word, it was as if his mouth was covered.
I can't even breathe.
He even had to cover his mouth with his hands to avoid screaming.
The other swordsmen and pen officials were still looking at ease, but now, they are all like Lao Qin. One of them cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, why should I come back to see the emperor's list? I'm obviously ready to go home. Why are you back again? Oh oh oh, I really deserve to die!"
"Now that I've seen this, my fate is finally sealed! Wuwuwu..."
