As junior officials in Kyoto's officialdom, they all know what they should know and what they should not know.
Once you know some things that you shouldn't know, it can lead to financial disaster at best, or even destroy your family at worst.
Therefore, in the officialdom, not seeing what should not be seen and not listening to what should not be said is the most basic means of survival.
But now they inadvertently saw something they should never see, and something that was enough to make them confiscate their homes and exterminate their families.
On the imperial list is a piece of paper that has just been glued on.
Whoever sees the content of the list will die.
It was said that the prince and several princes teamed up and sent people to steal the remains of the emperor.
The article did not say why the prince wanted to join several princes to steal the remains of the Supreme Emperor, but the silence here is better than the sound. As long as you know a little bit about the affairs between the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor, you cannot imagine what the prince wants to do, such a royal secret. How can it be shown in broad daylight?
Whether it's a rumor made out of nothing or it's true, it's not something that petty officials like them can know.
Several swordsmen and penmen stared with frightened eyes, at a loss.
At this time, a thin and shrewd man looked around and saw that there was no one else at the door of the Yamen. He immediately whispered: "Run! Remember, none of us have seen this notice."
"Run? Doesn't that mean that the crime of deceiving the emperor will punish the nine tribes?"
Several swordsmen and pen officials were too frightened by the emperor's power to dare to run away.
At this moment, a group of soldiers patrolling the city walked out of the street corner. They yawned and walked towards this direction.
Some kind-hearted knife and pen officials waved their hands to them to signal them not to come near.
The soldiers patrolling the city didn't know why. The leader frowned. After briefly communicating with a few of his subordinates, these soldiers quickly moved towards the swordsmen and pen officials.
In their opinion, these swordsmen and pen officials behaved sneakily and must have ulterior secrets in their bodies. Maybe these guys were responsible for a great achievement.
When several swordsmen and pen officials saw these soldiers, instead of retreating, they surrounded them.
These swordsmen and penmen were all smart people, and they knew the intentions of these soldiers in an instant. Those who were originally kind-hearted also restrained their kindness at this moment, allowing him to get closer.
A few swordsmen and pen officials turned their heads to look at the piece of paper posted on the imperial list.
Several soldiers came closer and yelled: "Why are you gathering here? Are you sneaking around?"
"A few of us are officials in the yamen. We were on duty last night and were just about to go home. We happened to see the article posted on the imperial list, so we gathered here."
Several soldiers turned to look at the imperial list, but they were not literate, so they were confused. The wretched one knew a few words, but when he saw the content on the imperial list, his face changed color instantly...
The paper on the imperial list was removed soon after, but the contents of the imperial list had been spread privately.
Kyoto, which was already in turmoil, has become increasingly turbulent and treacherous.
No one believed what was on the imperial list, and almost everyone thought it was a plan by the emperor to kill the prince.
Princess Xuehe already knew the content on the list, and her expression was not good-looking: "Did he take three of my treasures just to do such a thing? I can always find someone to do such a thing, there is no need at all. When this guy takes action, it will be too easy for him to take advantage of me."
Grandma Qiu said: "Princess, that guy can do this many times better than you can send someone to do it. He is a member of the prince himself. He went to the ancestor worship ceremony and climbed Tongtian Mountain. His words are very valuable." Persuasive."
"However, it is impossible for him to reveal his identity, nor will he admit that he wrote the list, so who is his identity and what is the use?"
Grandma Qiu shook her head slightly: "Of course it will work, and it will be of great use. I think that guy must be thinking about the day when his identity will be exposed."
Princess Xuehe looked confused: "Grandma, I can't understand you more and more. If he reveals his identity, wouldn't he be asking for death?"
"Princess, don't worry, let's see what he wants to do. That guy is not a prey but a hunter.
Hand, at least from the beginning to now, he has always been in control of the development of this matter. Such a guy will never just post a few pieces of paper. "
"And the most poisonous point in his article is that the prince and several other princes do business together. This sentence.
Lin Beichen deliberately did not tell who the prince was discussing with. This will always be an unsolvable mystery.
"The emperor has always been suspicious. With such a little tail around, all the princes will surely suffer.
First of all, it is impossible for the crown prince to admit that he discussed with several other princes to find the remains of the Supreme Emperor.
The less he said, the more suspicious the emperor became, and eventually all the princes became the target of suspicion.
If I were the emperor, since I can't find out who is colluding with the prince, then the best way to save time is...
As she spoke, Grandma Qiu made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Of course, Lin Beichen will not just stick a piece of paper, but as a fuse, it remains to be seen how effective this piece of paper will be.
At this moment, all the apartments in the palace were all tightening their legs and completing tasks one by one quickly and silently.
All the eunuchs and maids were worried. Just now, there were bursts of screams in the emperor's palace.
Although the sound has ended now, all the palace maids and eunuchs know that this is not the end but the beginning. A bigger storm is gathering and may invade the palace at any time. By then, everyone will be in danger, and everyone will be in danger. They were all drawn into the whirlpool and accepted the judgment of fate.
The entire Kyoto spent a long day in such an uneasy situation.
The sky is getting dark, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the entire Kyoto is in a state of caution.
This is actually quite different from what Lin Beichen expected.
Because not a single sound came from the palace.
In other words, the emperor did not take any action after knowing the contents of the announcement.
Otherwise, all the princes should be recruited into the palace now.
In the middle of the night, Lin Beichen was walking on the dark street, and he felt those eyes staring at him more closely.
In Xue and Princess's study, Xue and Princess did not doze out of boredom like yesterday, but looked at Grandma Qiu attentively, like a child listening to a story, waiting for Grandma's explanation.
Grandma Qiu was also watching Lin Beichen closely because he was also curious about Lin Beichen's next actions.
"I'm not the only pair of eyes on this street. There are countless eyes wandering around every street in Kyoto."
"Behind each eye is the curious face of a Nascent Soul."
