Is it finally here?"

A few days later, in the morning, Ji Zhaoning sent news to Dongfang Shuo.

The second prince and the fourth prince have gathered their troops, and they have traveled thousands of miles to reach the imperial city, and if they do not stop, they will arrive at this afternoon, and the army of the third prince will also arrive at the imperial city at noon tomorrow.

At the same time, the second prince sent a letter to the imperial city after the army was raised, probably because he was afraid that the emperor would think too much.

However, this letter is now in Ji Zhaoning's hands, and it was sent to Dongfang Shuo along with the news that the army was coming.

"Now, I'm afraid the second prince can't wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River. ”

Dongfang Shuo took the letter in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face without a trace.

He has also been waiting for several days for this news.

The opportunity to kill the emperor without leaving a trace was at the time when the army arrived.

"What kind of river is the Yellow River, I've never heard the name of this river. Ji Zhaoning opened his mouth to ask.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "It doesn't matter what kind of river the Yellow River is, the important thing is that we have to act as soon as possible." Although the second prince marched quickly and did not disturb the cities along the way, the emperor should have already received the news at this time, and it was also a vast army of tens of thousands of people. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Ji Zhaoning asked.

"Go to the palace to escort. Dongfang Shuo said.

Ji Zhaoning said: "At this time, will it be too ostentatious?"

"All I want is swagger. Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, and then looked at Ji Zhaoning's face with a little deep meaning, "Who let the overall situation be on my side?"

Hearing this, Ji Zhaoning smiled and said nothing.

So, Dongfang Shuo set off with letters and tiger talismans.

At this moment, there are still about seven days left before the mission to find out the cause of Su Jingsheng's death is over.

The army of the imperial city quietly began to assemble, gradually guarding the palace layer by layer.

However, at the same time, Dongfang Shuo also notified all the officials in the imperial city, and under the general trend, they had to rush to the palace gate as Dongfang Shuo expected.

When the officials gathered, Dongfang Shuo swaggered into the palace with the officials.

Most of the officials present at this moment were people who had stepped on the threshold of Dongfang Shuo's palace on the day he was enthroned, and a very small number of them were those who were not satisfied with Dongfang Shuo, but had to come because of the general trend.

Among them, the Lu family sent one person, who was Lu Yanzhang's brother, and he had to send one person as a last resort.

As for Sima's family, no one came.

"Lord Shang Guogong, what you said is true, Your Second Highness, Third Highness, and Fourth Highness are really all ...... Is it the other way around?"

An official, who was still skeptical, stepped forward and asked the doubts in his heart for several people who thought the same as him.

After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be fabricated at will.

But Dongfang Shuo didn't look at him, he still looked ahead, but sneered, and said: "They are all about to come to the city, but you are still asking this kind of question, don't you think it's ridiculous? We must ask Your Majesty as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

As the words fell, his pace quickened.

The minister who asked the question was suddenly left behind by him.

As a result, the ministers also had to speed up their pace, and there were many ordinary civil officials among these ministers, although they could be on par with Dongfang Shuo in terms of cultivation, but they might not be able to match it in terms of strength, and it was already a lot of energy to barely keep up with Dongfang Shuo's footsteps, and there was no possibility of asking more questions.

Soon, they came to the outside of the main hall of the palace.

This is the place where the morning pilgrimage is carried out on weekdays.

Standing under the stairs in front of the hall, Dongfang Shuo looked up and saw a figure that he had expected a long time ago.

Long Lin Zaizhi, Sima Changyun.

"Why did Shang Guogong bring such a lot of people to the court, today is not the day of the early dynasty, and this is not the time for the beginning of the early dynasty, right?"

Sima Changyun looked down and asked in a loud voice.

Dongfang Shuo raised his head and asked rhetorically in the same volume: "Then I want to know, what is Sima Zaizhi doing when he is standing outside the court hall at this time? Could it be that the Longlin Empire still has the rules for Zaizhi to hold a court meeting alone?"

It is precisely because there is no such rule that Dongfang Shuo will say it.

At this time, the officials standing behind Dongfang Shuo looked at each other, but looking at these two-for-tat, no one dared to talk at such a time.

"I came to the court, naturally, to report some things to Your Majesty, so what about you, Shangguogong, why did you come?"

"I'm here to report the matter, too. ”

"It's just enough to bring so many officials, and even sent troops to surround the palace, I think Lord Dongfang is not trying to report it, but wants to force a confession, and plot against it, right?"

"In a few words, I am anxious to punish my heart," Dongfang Shuo raised his hand, spread his palm and pointed at Sima Changyun, and said to everyone behind him, "I'm afraid that Master Sima has a ghost in his heart, for fear that I will demolish him, right?"

"Whether there is a ghost in my heart or not, it's not up to you to decide. Sima Changyun's eyes were cold, "Dongfang Shuo, you are just a yellow-haired boy who has just been on the throne for a few days, how can you question me, a senior member of the imperial court who has been an auxiliary country for decades? If you still have Your Majesty in your heart, then quickly dismiss the officials behind you, and let all the soldiers gathered outside the palace return to their original positions, so as to show your loyalty to the empire." ”

Dongfang Shuo sneered and said, "As long as I dismiss the officials, no one will see your evil deeds in the future, and there will be no witnesses." And as long as I remove the soldiers who protect the palace, the rebels who collude with you inside and outside can send assassins to assassinate Your Majesty, unimpeded. Dongfang Shuo clapped his hands, "What a good chess game, Master Sima." ”

Sima Changyun suddenly frowned.

He refuted: "There should be a limit to your bloody mouth, I, Sima Changyun, have been loyal to the country all my life, how can I collude with ......"

But before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Shuo snapped and said: "Yes, Lord Sima's loyalty to the country can be learned from heaven and earth. It's a pity that no one knows which country you are loyal to. ”

"You!"

Sima Changyun's mouth suddenly swelled with a warm and fishy smell of rust spots.

But in order not to show weakness, he swallowed the blood in his mouth alive.

Whew!

Immediately, the spirit sword on his waist was unfurled, and the sword blade was sharp under the rising sun.

Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze and stepped on the stairs first.

"Stop me, the sword in my hand is the Shang Fang sword given to the Sima family by the first emperor, and you can be cut first and then played when you treat a rebel and thief like you. Sima Changyun held the sharp in his hand, and the surging vast qi was instantly released, enveloping the audience, "I came to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not arrived, if you dare to step forward again, I will personally cut off the head of you, a chaotic minister and thief!"

But even so, Dongfang Shuo still did not stop.

Seeing this, Sima Changyun's eyes showed a chill, and the spiritual pressure released from his body quickly condensed, and he rushed straight to Dongfang Shuo with a thick murderous aura.

Looking at Jian Feng, Dongfang Shuo's eyes also condensed.

However, the corners of his mouth showed a smile without a trace.

"Is it true to refine the period, just right, take you to try my strength. ”
