……

"What? All were assassinated? In the upper study, the little emperor looked at Bai You with a shocked expression.

"Yes, among the people who attended the banquet last night, except for Lord Yan, who was safe and sound, and did not encounter assassins, the other princes' children all encountered assassins after leaving Tianxiangju." Bai You was also full of doubts.

"How are the princes' children? Is there anything wrong with Ji Yan and Mu Qiuhuang? The little emperor asked anxiously.

The other princes' sons are okay to say, he is really afraid that Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan will have a mistake, although he is the emperor, but if these two people have a mistake in Fengling City, he can't afford it.

"Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, the two of them are fine, and the others are not harmed." Bai You replied.

"That's good." Hearing that Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan were fine, the little emperor breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then asked, "Did the assassin catch it?" ”

Bai You glanced at the little emperor cautiously, and said in fear: "Except for the two groups of assassins who assassinated Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan who were killed by their guards, there is no news about the other assassins......

Hearing this, the little emperor glanced at Bai You with dissatisfaction, and reprimanded, "What are the Kyoto Mansion and the patrol battalion for?" ”

At this moment, a little eunuch ran over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yin Cai of Kyoto Prefecture asks to see Your Majesty." ”

"What is he doing when he doesn't catch the Assassins and come to see me? Missing. The little emperor said angrily.

The assassin naturally didn't dare to say anything when he saw that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, and hurriedly took the order and prepared to reply.

At this moment, Bai You stopped the little eunuch, turned his head and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, let's see Lord Cai first, the information that the slave just reported to His Majesty was two hours ago, maybe there will be new progress on Lord Cai's side." ”

Seeing that the little emperor didn't speak, Bai You instructed the little eunuch, "Go and Lord Xuancai come in." ”

The little eunuch did not move when he heard this, but looked at the little emperor with a look of embarrassment.

Although the little emperor had already acquiesced to Bai You's suggestion, he was still very satisfied with the little eunuch's attitude, and said gently to the little eunuch: "Do what Grandpa Bai says." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch couldn't help but be a little flattered when he saw the little emperor talking to him so gently, and hurriedly responded and ran out in a hurry.

After the little eunuch left, the little emperor said to Bai You with satisfaction: "You have trained your disciples and grandchildren well...... Know how to respect and humble the master. ”

Bai You knew that it was the attitude of the little eunuch just now that made the little emperor happy, but when he thought that he had just given an order to the little eunuch without waiting for the little emperor to speak, the hairs on his back couldn't help but stand up, and he quickly knelt on the ground and confessed: "The old slave deserves to die." ”

"Father-in-law Bai, hurry up, what is the crime of being sympathetic to me? Could it be that in your heart, I am the kind of faint king who does not distinguish between right and wrong? The little emperor said calmly.

"The old slave has no such intentions, I hope Your Majesty will see it." Bai You said sharply.

The little emperor glanced at Bai You proudly and said softly, "Okay, hurry up!" You've trained these minions really well, and I'm very relieved. ”

……

"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty......" After entering the upper study, Kyoto Prefecture Yin Cai Boyan hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

This Kyoto Prefecture Yin Cai Boyan is in his forties this year is one of the protégés of the old lady Situ Changqing, and he has been sitting in the position of Kyoto Prefecture Yin for some years, the official position of Kyoto Prefecture Yin seems to be not small, but this position is actually not easy to sit, there are many powerful people in Kyoto City, and the official power is much greater than that of Kyoto Prefecture Yin, once there is any case involving the powerful, no matter how Kyoto Prefecture Yin judges, it is like obeying his sister-in-law and losing his brother's heart, so although Cai Boyan's official voice evaluation every year is not very good, However, his position has always been as stable as Mount Tai and has never wavered. And although Cai Boyan is quite skilled in this position, he is also a rare capable minister, but because he is very close to Xiahou Wenyuan, another proud protégé of the old lady Situ Changqing, and has admired Xiahou Wenyuan in front of people many times, he is not very loved by the little emperor. However, although the little emperor didn't like Cai Boyan, he also knew the importance of the position of Yin in Kyoto, so he didn't dare to change people lightly...... But if you can meet the opportunity to wear small shoes for Cai Boyan, you will definitely not miss it. And Cai Boyan, who is sleek and has long become an old fox, naturally has a clear understanding of the little emperor's thoughts, so if he has nothing to do on weekdays, he can also avoid the little emperor, and he will never show his face in front of the emperor like those other officials.

"I haven't seen Aiqing for some time, why did Aiqing come to the palace today?" The little emperor sat on the dragon chair and asked as if nothing happened, and did not let Cai Boyan get up.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Cai Boyan said anxiously.

"Oh, something big is wrong, Aiqing, don't worry, say it slowly." The little emperor still looks unhurried.

Cai Boyan raised his head and was a little angry when he saw the little emperor's attitude, and turned his head to look at Bai You beside the little emperor, but who knew that Bai You turned his face away after noticing his gaze.

At this time, Cai Boyan was even more annoyed, and said in his heart: "The matter is critical, I rushed into the palace non-stop just to report to you, you are good, despise the minister and don't say it, and look like you are knowingly asking, I don't believe that you didn't get the news of such a big thing that happened last night?" This is really the emperor who is not in a hurry to die eunuchs...... Bah! How can you compare yourself to a pickled goods like Bai You. ”

"Didn't Ai Qing just say something big? Why don't you speak? The little emperor continued to ask unhurriedly.

Seeing that the little emperor was still like this, Cai Boyan also thought carefully, and said in his heart, "You are not in a hurry, what am I anxious about?" As soon as he thought of this, Cai Boyan also adjusted his tone and said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you know about the banquet of the other princes in Tianxiang Ju last night?" ”

"Nonsense? Of course I know, didn't I send Pei Yu with a patrol battalion to assist your Kyoto Prefecture and protect their safety? The little emperor said.

Cai Boyan was even more angry when he heard the little emperor's words, the little emperor's words were equivalent to defining this matter, and the patrol battalion went to assist Kyoto Prefecture? So what happened last night is that Kyoto Prefecture is primarily responsible? …… Since it's mainly in Kyoto Prefecture, why do you want to send a patrol battalion to do it? Let's see if there's any credit? If you have merit in patrolling the battalion, why should you have to carry it in Kyoto Prefecture if you have something?

Cai Boyan said calmly: "Your Majesty may have misremembered, at the beginning, Your Majesty said that the patrol battalion was mainly assisted by our Kyoto Prefecture......"

"Ahem..."The little emperor also felt that what he had just said was a bit excessive at this time, and couldn't help but look at Bai You.

Bai You understood and said sharply: "Lord Cai, let's talk about important things first!" ”

"Yes, tell me what happened?" The little emperor chimed in.

"Yes, yes..."Cai Boyan replied and continued: "What Weichen wants to say is that last night, the prince of Xilie Shizi Ji Yan invited the princes to a banquet, and after the banquet last night, all the princes and children were assassinated. ”

"What? All the Assassins? Didn't I order you to keep them safe in Kyoto and the patrol battalion? How could this still happen? The little emperor pretended to be shocked.

"Wechen is guilty." Cai Boyan did not refute this time, but directly pleaded guilty and admitted his dereliction of duty.

"Is there anything wrong with the princes?" The little emperor continued to ask.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the princes' children have not been harmed, but these princes' children have been pampered for too long, and they are all ......frightened," Cai Boyan replied.

"Since the princes' children are fine, then I can rest assured, they are all young talents of my Dayou, if there is really a mistake, it will be the loss of our Dayou......" The little emperor spoke calmly and eloquently, and said to Bai You: "Tomorrow, you will take the imperial doctor out of the palace and go to comfort these princes' children on behalf of me." ”

"Yes." Bai You responded.

The little emperor then turned his head to look at Cai Boyan and continued: "Did the assassin catch it?" ”

Cai Boyan seemed to have guessed that the little emperor would ask this, and replied unhurriedly: "The bodies of the assassins who assassinated Ji Yan and Mu Qiuhuang have been included in the Kyoto Mansion...... The minister has ordered people to guard the gates of the city, and is strictly checking the people entering and leaving......"

"That means you haven't caught it yet?" The little emperor's tone changed suddenly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Since the assassin hasn't been caught yet, why don't you go and arrest the assassin, what are you going to do in the palace?" Only by catching the assassin as soon as possible can we give an explanation to the princes' children and give me an explanation. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, but there is a more important matter that needs to be decided by Your Majesty at the moment." Cai Boyan hurriedly said.

"What could be more important than catching an assassin?" The little emperor was puzzled.

Cai Boyan didn't dare to pretend to delay this time, and hurriedly quickened his voice and said: "That's the case, after those princes' children encountered assassins last night, they actually ordered someone to gather those soldiers who were left outside Fengling City, and this morning those soldiers all gathered together and asked to enter the city to protect the lord......"

"Into the city to protect the lord? Are they going to bring weapons into the city to protect the Lord? The little emperor silently recited two sentences, slapped the table with a "snap", and shouted: "The dynasty clearly stipulates that the children of the princes shall not bring more than 100 followers to Beijing, what are they going to do now?" Is it a rebellion? ”

"Your Majesty is angry." Cai Boyan hurriedly explained.

The little emperor's face turned pale with anger, and he continued to shout: "Calm your anger, how can I calm my anger?" This is my world, this is my capital, and under my nose there are assassins who dare to assassinate my guests, and they have not caught the assassins until now...... See? They are actually summoning their retinue to go to Beijing to protect the Lord, what does this mean, it means that they feel that I can't protect their safety...... What do you eat in Kyoto Prefecture and the patrol battalion? Lost all my face......"

"Weichen deserves to die, please take care of the dragon's body......" Cai Boyan hurriedly kowtowed and confessed.

"Where are they now?" The little emperor asked.

Cai Boyan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, they are all blocked outside the city by their ministers now."

"You're doing the right thing." The little emperor rarely praised Cai Boyan.

"But... ”

Cai Boyan continued: "Although the group of soldiers is now blocked from the city, they refuse to disperse, but instead set up a barricade outside the city gate, saying that they want to check on the assassins...... Now there is no way in or out of the city. ”

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around...... Is this going to besiege the city? The little emperor said angrily: "Let Pei Luo take the patrol battalion and the Kyoto government officials to disperse them, and if they dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Cai Boyan and Bai You said out loud at the same time.
