Chapter 442: Outside the Palace

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Yan saw the news of the emperor's death on the mobile phone news. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When I saw this news on my mobile phone, Zhao Yan was lying on a hospital bed in the border city, four or five streets away from the Purple Leaf Hotel.

Grand Wish Hospital.

The news pages on the mobile phone all turned into a dull gray, with a bold headline - Your Majesty died late yesterday night!

"At 6:11 a.m. today, this newspaper received a notice from the Imperial Propaganda Department that it was instructed to inform all the people of the obituary that His Majesty had died late yesterday night, and at the same time, it also conveyed the order of the Imperial Propaganda Department that for three days, all the people should not hold weddings, birthdays, and other festive activities! Violators will be punished!

What is gratifying is that His Majesty was very peaceful when he left, he was summoned by the ancestral spirit in his sleep, and he drove the crane to the west, His Majesty had no children, and His Majesty's funeral had been handled by King Lu Zhu Lixi, and King Lu had ordered that all national flags and military flags in the empire should be lowered to half-mast from today until His Majesty was buried in the imperial tomb!

……”

Zhao Yan saw the news like this, the news did not mention the abnormal death of Emperor Zhu Hongqi, and he did not mention the mysterious death of the forbidden army guards, female officials and male attendants in the palace last night, and therefore, Zhao Yan did not smell any abnormal smell from this news.

The whole nation was deceived by this news, and the truth was somehow covered up.

Zhao Yan is not a fanatical patriot, let alone a fanatical admirer of the royal family or the emperor, he has no patriotic feelings, although he just fought with the ghost shadow, one of the three major killing gods of digital life, as an armed police officer of the Nanjing Inspection Department last night, and almost lost his life, although he is still the identity of the Nanjing Inspection Department Reserve Armed Police, but for him, all this has nothing to do with patriotism and love for the monarch.

Joining the Nanjing Inspection Division, he has only one purpose - to find the murderer who killed Fan Long as soon as possible with the help of the intelligence system of the Inspection Office and avenge Fan Long, nothing more.

What happened in the Purple Leaf Hotel last night, he has already reported to the above, the staff of the local inspection department has come to his ward in the morning to find him to make a record, and now his official business is gone, and the next few days will be to recuperate at public expense, and recuperate in this hospital.

In the battle with the ghost in the early hours of last night, he was left with more than ten wounds left by the ghost with a dagger, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time.

Zhao Yan had a needle inserted in the back of his hand, maybe it was because the potion had hypnotic properties, maybe it was just because he was injured and it was easier to get sleepy, in short, Zhao Yan found that he was particularly tired today, not long after lunch, he only played with his mobile phone for a while, and the drowsiness in his brain invaded for a while, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Anyway, it was time to recuperate, and there was nothing to do, so he casually put his phone on the bedside cabinet and closed his eyes to rest.

……

Just when Zhao Yan closed his eyes and rested, on the square outside the main gate of the Imperial Palace in the capital, at this moment, the forbidden army had been under martial law around here, and ordinary people and vehicles were all ordered to be rerouted, so that the intersections of the three parties were congested, and the noise and noise were endless, but no one dared to protest.

Because almost everyone has seen the news of the emperor's death today, at this moment, no one dares to protest here, in case he is arrested and put in prison, I am afraid that no one will be able to save him.

When the noisy and noisy sound in the distance reached the main gate of the palace, the sound was already very small and almost inaudible, but today, at this moment, on the square outside the main gate of the palace, a group of civil and military ministers, princes, and county kings gathered here.

The third prince, Zhu Hongke, was also standing on the edge of this group of ministers and nobles at this time, compared to others, Zhu Hongke seemed very silent and did not say a word.

At this moment, the most angry and loudest is the Jin King Zhu Lixin.

Zhu Lixin, King of Jin, Zhu Litao, King of Fu, these two princes, one is the most powerful in the army, the other is the most financially powerful, both of them are not in the capital on weekdays, as princes, usually the emperor does not summon them into Beijing, they are not qualified to enter Beijing without authorization, Zhu Lixin, the king of Jin, was originally in Guangzhou, and Zhu Litao, the king of Fu, was in Shanxi, these two princes were in the early hours of this morning after getting the news of the emperor's death in the palace, they rushed to the capital by plane overnight.

also rushed back to the capital from other places today, as well as the second prince Zhu Hongyuan.

As mentioned above, because Emperor Zhu Hongqi has no children under his knees, Zhu Hongyuan, Zhu Hongke and Zhu Hongtu are still called princes, although they are all the sons of the first emperor and the younger brother of Emperor Zhu Hongqi.

is also Zhu Hongzhen's younger brother, but the relationship between Zhu Hongyuan and Zhu Hongzheng is the closest, because Zhu Hongyuan and Zhu Hongzheng are compatriots, both born to the Queen Mother.

Previously, it was rumored that Emperor Zhu Hongzhen intended to pass the throne to Zhu Lixi, the king of Lu, and some people said that Zhu Hongzheng wanted his younger brother, the second prince Zhu Hongyuan, to inherit the throne.

At this moment, the second prince Zhu Hongyuan's face was very ugly, and he glanced at the main gate of the palace with gloomy eyes from time to time, the main gate of the palace was closed, and the guards of the forbidden army above the gatehouse were motionless in military uniforms and wearing submachine guns, like a statue, full of coldness and murderous aura.

"It's too much! What does he want to do? His Majesty has just died, he led people to seal off the palace, and before we have seen His Majesty's remains, he announced His Majesty's obituary to the whole country, and now he is closing the city gates, blocking us from the palace, what does he mean? Yes! What the hell does he mean by that? He's a prince! We are also princes! His Majesty has died, what qualifications does he have to cover the sky with one hand? Call the shots? Open the door! Hurry up and open the door for Lao Tzu!! ”

Zhu Lixin, the king of Jin, was furious, and pointed his stubby fingers at the forbidden army on the city tower and scolded.

Zhu Litao, the blessed king, held a string of Buddhist beads in his right hand, and Zhu Litao, who was wide and fat, secretly paid attention to the progress of the situation while secretly paying attention to the progress of the situation, as well as the demeanor of the princes, county kings, and civil and military ministers around him.

His rich round face always had a kind smile on his face, but at the moment he didn't have a smile on his face at all.

There were many important ministers of the court standing behind him, all waiting for him to make an idea, but at this moment, the main gate and side doors of the palace were all closed, and he couldn't do anything for a while.

The fourth prince Zhu Hongtu is the most young and vigorous, strong in martial arts, and is known as the first master in the capital, his eyes are red at the moment, he endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for? Yes? Can't you see it? Zhu Lixi, the king of Lu, is relying on him to control one-third of the forbidden army in the capital, and he has the support of the prime minister and other Shangshu behind him! He's going to rebel! To usurp the throne!! Didn't you see that the prime minister and a few Shangshu were not outside, but also inside the palace? The doors of the palace are closed, and it is no one else who stands in the way! And it's us! Zhu Lixi is going to kick several of us out directly! Do you still have to endure it? How long are you going to endure it? ”

Without waiting for others to respond, Zhu Hongtu, who had finished reprimanding angrily, yelled: "Someone!" Send me troops!! Bring me guns and cannons! If he Zhu Lixi doesn't open the door, let's open the door of this palace!! (To be continued.) )
