Chapter 173: A New Round of Challenges (1)

The news that Shen Zhantian was stirring up trouble in Jinling also reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor also felt that this incident was not accidental. Although it is said that the court has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes for a long time, Shen Zhantian chose to make trouble when the emperor went out on patrol, and this thought must be investigated.

In the imperial study, the emperor summoned several close ministers to discuss the matter of the Qilin Pavilion, including An Dingshan, Murong Sheng, and several close ministers.

"What do you think of what Qilin Pavilion Lord Shen Zhantian has done in recent days?" The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Shen Zhantian is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he can't cause any trouble, and he is so happy to toss this time, probably just to add some fame to himself, so don't worry." It was Hubu Shangshu who spoke, and Hubu Shangshu was an arrogant person who never liked to put anyone else in his eyes, so even his attitude towards Shen Zhantian was a little arrogant.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think so. Shen Zhantian can also be regarded as a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't need to do these trivial things to add any prestige to the Qilin Pavilion. On the contrary, the rivers and lakes are places where morality is preached, and if these things he does are spread, it will damage the reputation of the Qilin Pavilion. However, he did it anyway, which is enough to show that he had a reason to do it. These words came from the mouth of the commander of the forbidden army, although the commander of the forbidden army is a general, but he has never been brave and unscrupulous, and he has always seen things very thoroughly, so he is very appreciated by the emperor, and he is almost inseparable from the emperor's side all day long.

The emperor is a suspicious person by nature, and he still has to be suspicious of people who don't want to hurt him. Shen Zhantian was so blatantly tossing in Jinling, how could the emperor think that it was just an action on the rivers and lakes, not to mention, even if it was really harmless, he had to be a little more vigilant, after listening to the words of the commander of the forbidden army, the emperor nodded, "Aiqing is right, Shen Zhantian will definitely not make such a big fight for no reason, come to Jinling at this time." Something big will happen. Ann adults. What do you think? ”

An Dingshan has never spoken, he has always known how to observe words and feelings, and if he does not understand the emperor's thoughts, he will not speak easily. But it's not difficult to guess the emperor's mind in this matter. It's nothing more than being suspicious of Shen Zhantian. But what did Shen Zhantian want to do. This question. It also troubled Anding Mountain for a long time. He never figured it out.

Therefore, in the face of so many provocations by Shen Zhantian, An Dingshan was responsible for protecting the emperor's safety in Jinling. But he didn't take any action, because he wanted to observe for a few days and see Shen Zhantian's thoughts clearly before making a decision, but he didn't expect the emperor to be more anxious than him.

Since the emperor asked, An Dingshan also had to answer, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty is reasonable, Shen Zhantian chose to come to Jinling to make trouble when His Majesty went on patrol, the purpose must not be as simple as making a name for himself, his purpose must be related to the court or some other things." However, the specific relationship is with the minister, and the minister needs to further find out. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Hearing Andingshan say this, the commander of the forbidden army suddenly thought of something, but he stopped talking.

"There are no outsiders here, just say it."

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has had no contact with martial arts for many years, but recently it seems that it has inadvertently been involved with martial arts."

"Oh? When? What's the matter? ”

"You mean Princess Lan?" An Dingshan on the side answered smartly.

After such a reminder, everyone suddenly realized.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Lan is from the martial arts, maybe she has some grievances with Shen Zhantian, and now Princess Lan's side is announcing to the world, maybe Shen Zhantian is coming for the princess."

"Your Majesty, now that Princess Lan's whereabouts are unknown, if Shen Zhantian really has any grievances with Princess Lan, it may be unfavorable to Princess Lan, Your Majesty should find Princess Lan as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the princess is left behind, and it is likely to give others a chance to take advantage of it, and when the time comes, if Shen Zhantian threatens Princess Lan and forces the court to do something, we will be helpless."

……

The ministers said in a rambling voice.

"Nonsense, what can he Shen Zhantian do with the imperial court? Princess Lan's whereabouts are indeed unknown now, but she will definitely come back safely, and you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, and I will cure your sins. "The emperor has always disliked to listen to these alarmist words, but he cannot tolerate anyone who will touch his power and dignity.

Before he could say a few words, the emperor was furious.

Murong Sheng never spoke, but observed the emperor's attitude. As a prince, he knows his father too well, and there are some things, once touched, no matter how much he loves that person, how much he cares about that person, and no matter how unreasonable or even unreasonable what he wants to do, no one can resist it.

"Father, my sons have heard some rumors." These days, Concubine Hui is under house arrest in the palace, and the emperor's attitude towards Murong Sheng is also a little cold, Murong Sheng is not bored, he silently plans his own affairs, and regularly appears in front of the emperor to greet him, but he never says much, let alone pleads for his mother, because he knows that those are all in vain.

But today's opportunity, he can't let go.

"What's the gossip?" Sure enough, as Murong Sheng expected, this sentence aroused the emperor's great interest.

"Back to my father, my son heard that Princess Lan left the palace because there was another secret, and she did have something to do with Shen Zhantian at this time." Murong Sheng said seriously.

"Are you saying that there is really any grudge between Princess Lan and Shen Zhantian?" An Dingshan was also very concerned about this matter, and when he heard Murong Sheng say this, he was also very surprised, and couldn't help but ask.

Murong Sheng shook his head, "No, what Prince An said is not true, there is no grudge between Shen Zhantian and Princess Lan, but I heard that Shen Zhantian has something to do with another descendant of the Lan family, and Princess Lan heard about the whereabouts of that person, so she went out of the palace to find it regardless of her father's grace." ”

Another descendant of the Lan family? This sentence was heard clearly by everyone present, and it really surprised everyone, including the emperor.

"What do you say? Another descendant of the Lan family? Could it be that apart from Concubine Ping, is there anyone else in the Lan family? The emperor looked at Murong Sheng in surprise, and this sentence made his heart chuckle, as if there was really someone else in the Lan family, it would pose a huge threat to him.

Murong Sheng hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Father Emperor Mingjian, the sons and daughters just heard some rumors. However, there is one thing that is very true. (To be continued......)
