Dozens of people led their horses out of Xingqingzhuang and returned to the official road, galloping again.

Six Fingers still quietly followed.

This night, Tie Liduan took the Wuding Hall to worship all night, ran to several villages and towns, and killed more than ten wanted criminals.

He is afraid that he wants to clean up the entire Tanzhou rivers and lakes.

And in Tanzhou, it is difficult to have a master who can be compared with him.

The True Martial Realm is not so easy to appear.

Inside the Changsha Imperial Palace.

Yi Shiyu, the eunuch of the Military Intelligence Department, hurriedly ran along the corridor to Zhao Dongting's dormitory again overnight.

The guards who passed by on the road were no longer strange, and many people took the initiative to greet this eunuch who could often see the holy face, and called Grandpa Yi affectionately.

It's just that Yi Shiyu's courage doesn't seem to have become much because of Zhao Dongting's "favor", and when someone greets him, he will always return the salute with a little shyness.

When he arrived outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom, Zhao Dongting, who was sleeping with Le Chan in his arms, was naturally woken up again.

In this regard, Zhao Dongting had no choice but to accept his fate.

After walking out of the room in a big coat, he saw Yi Shiyu waiting outside and asked, "Where is there an urgent report?" ”

Yi Shiyu replied: "Xinyang." ”

Then he handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Dongting.

"Xinyang?"

Zhao Dongting's face showed a slight puzzle, because he didn't think that Xinyang would have any military emergency.

He took the secret letter, waved his hand to let Yi Shiyu retreat, and walked back to the room.

Although it was tiptoeing, maybe the conversation with Yi Shiyu just now woke up Le Chan, who was very sleepy.

There was still a little ruddy on her face, and she supported her body with one hand, which was extremely attractive, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report again?" ”

Zhao Dongting only nodded, walked to the bookcase and sat down.

The oil lamp is slightly dim.

He pulled the secret letter out of the bamboo tube and opened it, and his face changed uncontrollably.

Emperor Gong was assassinated in Sanjue Town, a hundred miles outside Xinyang City.

The last general has taken the Empress Dowager Xie and the Empress Dowager Quan back to Xinyang and went to Changsha on the same day.

Su Quan is far away.

"Ahh

Zhao Dongting even let out a low cry because of this.

Zhao Xian would be assassinated, which was indeed unexpected. He hadn't even thought about it.

Le Chan heard this whisper, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Originally, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but she and Zhao Dongting had a very strong relationship, so she didn't have these plans.

Zhao Dongting couldn't hide it from her, so he frowned and whispered: "Emperor Gong was assassinated a hundred miles outside Xinyang City......

At this time, Le Chan also exclaimed.

Emperor Gong and others returned to the court, and she naturally knows about it now.

Then she got out of bed and asked, "How so?" ”

Even she looked at Zhao Dongting with a strange look in her eyes at this moment.

Zhao Dongting looked back at her, clearly saw the brilliance in her eyes, his heart moved slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and then couldn't stop smiling bitterly, "You think it's my hand?" ”

Le Chan bit her lip lightly and did not speak.

Zhao Dongting muttered and shook his head: "It's not my hand." Although Emperor Gong's return to the dynasty may cause chaos within the court, I will not let people assassinate him. ”

Hearing this, the doubts in Le Chan's eyes dissipated.

She believed in Zhao Dongting very much.

Immediately, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, then who do you think will be the hand?" ”

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, "I don't know." Since the Yuan Dynasty sent Emperor Gong back to the court, there should be no reason to harm him. And those people in Dali, they should also expect that Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others will make the people of the Great Song Dynasty chaotic after returning to the dynasty, and it stands to reason that they have no reason to assassinate Emperor Gong. ”

Then he said: "But your eyes just now woke me up, and this matter is inevitably impossible to be their hands." ”

"Why?"

Le Chan was a little puzzled.

Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly: "Think about it, even you thought in an instant that it was the hand of the people who ordered it, what would the rest of the world think?" ”

The expression on Le Chan's face gradually froze, and deep worry appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Dongting said again: "I'm afraid that this time I will be difficult to wash away even if I jump into the Yellow River." ”

At this moment, he was very upset.

Killing Zhao Xian is definitely not a trivial matter for the entire Great Song Dynasty. As long as this news spreads, how will the people of the DPRK and China think of him Zhao Dongting?

Will anyone believe in him like Le Chan?

Zhao Dongting knew that Lu Xiufu and others still cared about Zhao Xian. It's hard to say whether they will do anything drastic because of this, but it will certainly inevitably have a gap with themselves.

It was something he would never want to see.

The Great Song Dynasty was able to develop to such a point in such a short period of time because of the unity of the monarch and the ministers!

Putting the letter paper on the oil lamp and lighting it, watching the letter burn slowly, with a yellow and green flame, Zhao Dongting frowned and fell into deep thought.

Now we have to find out who killed Zhao Xian, and it is difficult for others to do it in Changsha. The top priority should be to find a way to prove your innocence.

Killing his brother is such an angry thing, even if he is the emperor, it is difficult to bear.

He didn't want to create a prosperous world like Li Shimin, but he was still charged with killing his brother until he died.

The impact on the whole world is too great, and it may even cause turmoil in the world.

However, in just one night, Zhao Dongting obviously couldn't think of any way to prove his innocence. This matter is almost a dead knot.

No one can prove who killed Zhao Xian, but most people will think that he Zhao Dongting killed him. Because his motivation is the greatest.

Zhao Xian died, and his throne could not be threatened by any kind.

The next day, it was still early in the dark, and Zhao Dongting instructed Gonggong Liu to announce several humerus ministers in the court to the imperial study.

Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi, and other chief and deputy officials from the Ministry of State Affairs, the Ministry of Military Aircraft, the Ministry of Law, and the Ministry of Supervision were all present.

When they arrived, Zhao Dongting was already in the imperial study, looking tired, but he couldn't hide his deep solemnity.

This made Lu Xiufu and the others, who had just entered the house, couldn't help frowning slightly.

It is rare for them to see the emperor so confused, especially after the emperor recently married Miss Lechan, he was even more happy every day.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone saluted Zhao Dongting, and as soon as he stood up, Lu Xiufu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

There is no big event, and Zhao Dongting will not announce all of them to the imperial study. On the way here, they had already expected something big to happen.

Zhao Dongting raised his head, his eyes fell on everyone, and he only said, "Can you believe that I am a person?" ”

Lu Xiufu and the others all showed a slight puzzlement.

Wang Wenfu said: "The ministers believe in the emperor. It's just that why did the emperor highlight this statement? ”

Zhao Dongting's fingers clasped the desk rhythmically, and he was still a little upset at this time, and said, "Emperor Gong was assassinated on the way back to the court. ”

"This ......"

Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others all changed color.

They are all people who have seen Zhao Xian.

For them, although this is not a bolt from the blue, it is undoubtedly a major event that can shock their souls.

The dignified Emperor Song was assassinated.

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of astonishment.

In this way, it took dozens of seconds for them to finally ease up a little.

But even Wang Wenfu, who just said that he trusted Zhao Dongting, looked at Zhao Dongting's eyes at this time with a slight change.

In the matter of assassinating Zhao Xian, Zhao Dongting is really the biggest suspect. As long as they hear about this, everyone will subconsciously think of him first.

But no one dared to question Zhao Dongting directly.

Lu Xiufu swallowed his saliva, his eyes were still a little dull, and he only asked: "Then dare to ask the emperor, the empress dowager, ...... them?"

Zhao Dongting frowned and said, "They are fine, the thieves just assassinated Emperor Gong." ”

Then he raised his hand and kneaded his eyebrows.

Lu Xiufu and the others were speechless again.

The thief only assassinated Emperor Gong, which seems to be a little intriguing.

Zhao Dongting said in a low voice: "I know that you will all suspect that I did this, but I can swear to heaven that this matter has nothing to do with me. The masters of Wudingtang have been in the palace these days, and you all know about it. ”

But this explanation is undoubtedly pale.

As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who knows if there are any masters in the rivers and lakes who will work for him in addition to the masters of Wudingtang?

Lu Xiufu and others are all people who have experienced ups and downs, and they will not cancel their suspicions about him because of Zhao Dongting's words.

Right now, their minds are in turmoil.

There was silence again in the imperial study.
