In the past few days, both Wei Qing and Gu Beichuan have been staying in the Gu Mansion, with the door tightly closed.
Why?
Because the monk is in the Gu Mansion!
Gu Beichuan didn't know how strong the monk was, but according to his guess, he shouldn't be weaker than Pei Burang.
No matter what the purpose of the person behind the scenes was, after already provoking Pei Burang, they would not want to provoke the monk again.
Time passed day by day, the palace door was still closed, and there was no news from either the prince or Emperor Renxuan.
Wei Qing's mood became visibly irritable.
Gu Beichuan was also upset, but he didn't show it.
Compared with the beginning, their current situation is much better.
With the monk here, their safety is at least not a problem.
If something goes wrong, you can immediately leave Qiandu and return to Huainan.
However, it was not just them who were worried and agitated, the entire Qiandu, from the noble officials to the common people at dawn, were all panic-stricken.
After all, in the past few days, in addition to the palace gate being closed, assassins have been attacking from time to time inside and outside Qiandu City.
It has even been reported one after another that many important officials of the state have died unexpectedly and died suddenly at home!
As the eyes and ears of the palace, the Imperial City Secretary was like a flock of sheep that lost its leader when the palace door was closed.
There is no other way besides sending manpower to actively resist the assassins.
Lin Fu tried to find out the origin of these assassins.
But he was surprised to find that he couldn't find it out!
As the first intelligence organization of Daqian, it is logically impossible for the Imperial City Division not to detect it.
The reason why it couldn't be found out was because someone was causing trouble!
As soon as he starts investigating, he will face a lot of resistance.
So after a brief attempt, Lin Fu gave up because he found that it was very likely that the Imperial City Division had also been infiltrated by the other party!
If you continue to investigate, you will definitely die!
However, just when everyone was panicking.
The long-closed palace door is open!
And news came from the palace that a court meeting would be held in three days!
…
In three days, it arrived as promised!
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the Qiande Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials were already waiting on both sides.
Everyone had drooped eyebrows and remained silent.
They are waiting for a result!
Whether it is a distinguished person, a noble family, a party, or a Qingliu party.
At this moment, they all gave up the internal fighting, because this result will greatly affect the pattern of the entire Daqian court!
Among all the people, Lieutenant Zhang Lang had the lowest head and looked particularly panicked.
Because among these people, he is the least confident.
Although he is named Taiwei, he is a eunuch after all and cannot hold real power.
Therefore, most of the power was concentrated on Emperor Renxuan.
Once something really happened to Emperor Renxuan, everything about him would be thrown back to its original state, and he would lose nothing in the blink of an eye.
"Ascension to the court!" Zheng Ying walked in, stood slowly beside the dragon chair, and shouted the same words as before.
It's just that this time, he was obviously much haggard, and his brows were full of exhaustion. He seemed a little unable to shout such a sentence.
Gu Beichuan, who was in the crowd below, glanced at him and frowned slightly.
According to the news he received, it was this person who took His Royal Highness away three days ago, but to this day, there is still no news from the Prince!
If this news is true, then the disappearance of Zheng Ying and the prince must be inextricably linked!
Gu Beichuan made up his mind and remained silent, preparing to see clearly the movements of the court before making any plans.
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
Zheng Ying's tired voice came one after another, and the civil and military officials slowly raised their heads and looked at the empty dragon chair.
"I have a report to report! Why has the palace door been closed these days? Has something happened? How is the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty?" Taiwei Zhang Lang was the first to be unable to bear it. He stood up and fired a series of shots. asked as if.
This question also raised the doubts of all the courtiers.
At this moment, the military attache group headed by Wei Ziyang, the aristocratic family faction headed by Taifu Yang Huai, and even Wei Qing all pricked up their ears and wanted to find out. After all, this news was too important!
Facing Lieutenant Zhang Lang's question, Zheng Ying did not answer, but looked even more tired.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "I can't answer your question, so I'd better ask His Highness Prince Yuan to come and answer it for everyone."
King Yuan?
Gu Beichuan's heart trembled, and he realized something was wrong.
Since the palace gate was closed, Prince Yuan had been locked outside the palace gate and courtyard wall like them. How could he know about the situation of the prince and the emperor?
And if others don't know the details of King Yuan, how can Gu Beichuan not know?
On the surface, this man seems to be the prince who fights for Daqian, but secretly he has already colluded with Daqian's nemesis Beiyan!
Even when the palace gates were closed, the army was mobilized to block the four city gates. It was a miracle that there was no rebellion.
What confusion can he solve for civil and military officials?
Also, during this incident, Zheng Ying stayed in the palace from beginning to end!
Undoubtedly, he knows the whole story best, at least better than everyone here. He can answer the officials' doubts by himself. Why must he push the matter to King Yuan?
The situation in Daqian's court became increasingly unpredictable and unpredictable, and Gu Beichuan's expression became serious.
As soon as Zheng Ying finished speaking, King Yuan with a sad face walked in from outside the palace.
Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials felt their hearts trembling, feeling that something was not good.
Because King Yuan came wearing armor and carrying weapons!
What does it mean? Could it be that he wants to gain power by force?
Yes, the whereabouts of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are now unknown. The troops in Qiandu do not have Tiger Talisman, so it is difficult to mobilize them for a while.
The only ones that can be mobilized are a few armies under King Yuan!
If he really wants to do something, no one can stop him!
However, King Yuan did not act like the courtiers expected. Instead, he knelt down in front of the dragon throne, bursting into grief and crying!
When all the civil and military officials saw King Yuan's posture, their hearts trembled again, and an ominous premonition came to their hearts.
In the past, the person sitting on this dragon chair was Emperor Renxuan!
The supreme master of Daqian, the Nine-Five Lord!
And what is King Yuan’s identity?
Go ahead, prince!
As the prince of Daqian, it is undoubtedly unethical for him to kneel down and cry in front of the dragon throne, not to mention in front of all the civil and military officials. Isn't this a loss of royal face in vain?
unless!
A horrifying idea came to the minds of all the civil and military officials!
It was just because the idea was so appalling that they found it hard to believe it for a while.
However, the next moment, King Yuan's behavior confirmed their thoughts.
I saw him saying with an extremely sad tone: "Father, he passed away!"
