Three days later, Gu Mansion.
A boy dressed in Tsing Yi suddenly visited, and Gu Beichuan received him in the main hall.
"Master Gu, something big is happening in the palace. My master sincerely invites you to come into the palace to tell the story."
"Who is your master?" Gu Beichuan said with a slight frown.
"Prime Minister Wei." The young man in green whispered two words from his mouth.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed. This was a sign of trust in Wei Qing.
"Then did your master ever say what big things happened in the palace?"
Hearing this, the young man in green clothes suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gu, aren't you making things difficult for me? How can I, a servant, know about the important events in the palace?"
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he laughed dumbly and nodded: "Then you can lead the way."
As he stood up to leave, Li Dongbi stood up and said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you!"
Gu Beichuan said nothing, just looked at him, and then nodded slowly.
Half an hour later.
Wei Mansion.
Wei Qing looked at Gu Beichuan and Li Dongbi who were led by the young man in green, and he felt relieved.
The situation on the Qiandu Chao court in the past few days can be described as turbulent. Even an old official like him, who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, is a little frightened. He called Gu Beichuan here today, firstly to discuss some things with him, and secondly to ensure his safety.
"Beichuan, have you received any news these days?" Wei Qing asked immediately after Gu Beichuan sat down.
"The rumor? I haven't received it yet." Gu Beichuan was a little surprised.
In the past few days, neither the East Palace nor the general workshop had looked for him much. He himself was enjoying his leisure time, so he really didn't know what was going on in the palace.
Wei Qing nodded. He knew Gu Beichuan's temperament, so he was not surprised by this answer.
But then, he became silent, and after retreating to the left and right, he lowered his voice and said: "Something big happened in the palace!"
"But what exactly it is, I don't know yet."
"To be precise, the palace was under martial law three days ago and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"So, no one knows what happened in the palace."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
The palace will not impose martial law for no reason. This will cause panic, so there must be something major that is difficult for the palace to handle.
But in the palace, there was Pei Burang, who was suspected of being a heavenly being, and even more so, Emperor Renxuan, a peerless emperor.
Is there anything that they can't handle that would require martial law in the palace?
The answer is no!
At least in the three-thirds of an acre of Gandu, there is no problem that these two people can't solve even if they work together.
Then there is only one possibility, there is something wrong with these two themselves!
Pei Burang is suspected of being a celestial being, and his martial arts are surprisingly high. It is unlikely that anything will happen to him.
Even if something goes wrong, it's not worthy of palace martial law.
Therefore, after eliminating all possibilities, no matter how impossible it is, the remaining answer is the correct answer.
Something happened to Emperor Renxuan!
Gu Beichuan was startled by his guess. He took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
But it still feels incredible.
With that person's skills and layout, it's usually his opponent who gets into trouble.
At least Gu Beichuan never thought that something would happen to Emperor Renxuan at this juncture.
"What other information is there?" Gu Beichuan did not tell his guess, otherwise even the famous Prime Minister of Daqian, whose expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai, would probably change his expression in shock.
"Three nights ago, the prince entered the palace."
"It is said that Eunuch Zheng Ying came to summon him personally."
Something happened to Emperor Renxuan, so he summoned the prince to the palace to explain his affairs?
Gu Beichuan's heart skipped a beat as he found another piece of evidence for his suspicion.
"Where is Prince Yuan? Did Zheng Ying tell Prince Yuan to enter the palace?" Gu Beichuan's tone was a little more anxious.
If it is to explain the funeral affairs, there is no reason to call only the prince and not King Yuan.
"No." Wei Qing shook his head, and then his tone suddenly became serious: "This is exactly why I asked you to come!"
"King Yuan secretly mobilized the two battalions of heaven and earth last night."
boom!
Gu Beichuan's mind was suddenly confused. Things were developing towards the place he least wanted to see!
It is still unclear what happened in the palace. Neither Emperor Renxuan nor Xiang Baichuan had any news.
As for King Yuan..., he mobilized his troops at this time, and Gu Beichuan had already found out that this person had colluded with the Beiyan forces.
Then... I'm afraid the possibility of rebellion is not small.
"Where are our troops?"
"Qiankun Fenglin Mountain, where are the strength of the five battalions?" Gu Beichuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked directly about the situation of the army.
Wei Qing shook his head slowly, with a bitter look on his face: "The Tiger Talisman is on His Highness the Crown Prince, and you and I have no right to mobilize the five battalions."
Gu Beichuan closed his eyes, even a little desperate.
In this situation, without the army, nothing can be done.
If something really happens, they will have no choice but to die!
"What do you think?"
"Go! Leave Gandu immediately!"
"What?" Wei Qing couldn't believe his ears and said in surprise: "The matter is not serious enough, right?"
Gu Beichuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, now it's not a question of whether we want to leave, but whether we can leave."
"Prime Minister Wei can send someone to pretend to leave the city tonight. If nothing happens, everything will be fine. Just think about it."
"But if you can't get out of the city, or something happens to the people who are leaving the city." Gu Beichuan paused for a moment and said seriously: "Then please ask Prime Minister Wei to make preparations in advance."
Hearing this, Wei Qing's face turned ugly, he remained silent and just nodded.
After a while, Gu Beichuan and Li Dongbi left the Wei Mansion.
That night.
Zheng Jian knocked on Gu Beichuan's door.
Gu Beichuan looked at him with expectation in his expression.
Zheng Jian shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't get out. I've tried all four city gates."
"In addition to the existing city defense troops, there are also many more manpower from the Dizi camp."
Gu Beichuan nodded, thinking about it.
This can only be the work of King Yuan.
Mobilize the army and control the four city gates. Should the next step be to declare that you suspect the prince of plotting to murder the emperor, and then lead troops to serve the king?
Gu Beichuan took a deep breath and said, "Go back to sleep."
…
That night, it was already midnight.
Gu Beichuan kept guessing about the sudden change in the palace and King Yuan's intentions, so that he tossed and turned and found it difficult to sleep.
At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly came from outside Gu's house!
"Catch the assassin!"
"Come here, there's a fire!"
"Someone started a fire!"
"Assassin! It was the assassin who set the fire. Someone come and catch the assassin with me!"
Gu Beichuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
This is Qian'en Garden, where many wealthy people live, but the dignitaries all live in Tiangan Garden next door.
If the assassins want to cause trouble, it's also Tianqianyuan. What's the matter with Qianenyuan?
etc!
Suddenly, a stream of clear water passed through my mind.
Gu Beichuan sat up and listened.
Then his eyes became sharp, and the direction of the shouting of killing was from the north, the direction of the palace!
