On this night, the streets of Jinling City were brightly lit, and a group of horsemen holding torches galloped endlessly, and the sound of horses' hooves did not know how many sleeping people had woken up. Some of the people who heard the movement were suspicious, so the people who got up dared to peek out of the crack in the door at first glance, and when they saw the murderous faces of the soldiers with the help of the firelight, they were all terrified with fright.

In the early morning of the next day, thousands of households opened the gate, only to see that the street was full of garrison soldiers, that kind of huge battle, the people of Jinling, who had been peaceful for a hundred years, were all shocked when they saw it. You must know that compared with the rebellion at both ends in three days, the dignitaries and dignitaries lined up to cut off their heads, the heads of people rolled at every turn, and the Northern Yan who raided the family and exterminated the clan, the city of Jinling in Dawu was too peaceful.

Even Wu Renyuan and Gao Zezhi, who were punished for their crimes eight years ago, were not executed in the end, and as for dying of illness on the road or something, the people of Jinling just heard a result, and there was little pressure on this. On the contrary, it was the guys who cleaned up those who colluded with the Northern Yanqiu Hunting Division before and killed a lot of people, this is a rare lively scene in Jinling City, and everyone is very excited to see the excitement.

What the hell is going on now? Is there a rebellion? Or did someone usurp power and seize power?

It is not only the ordinary people who are trembling, but even the civil and military officials are also very concerned about the night horse, they get up early to go to the court and see the martial law all over the street, they are already full of muttering, and when they finally gather in front of the palace gate from all directions, everyone is almost busy looking for people they know well to talk to each other and inquire about the situation.

However, the vast majority of people asked a circle but to no avail. When someone remembered that they should ask the three prime ministers of the political affairs hall, they searched around, only to find a strange thing. None of the three prime ministers came!

At this moment, the officials who were already shocked suddenly exploded. What does it mean that the prime minister is gone? Could it be that last night's one-night horse race was a palace change to seize power?

Someone who has a heart can't help but search for the traces of Xuanlong General Yan Xu and Wu Desi in the crowd, and when they find that these two people who are equivalent to the emperor's henchmen are missing, some people began to look for Shangshu and Shilang of the Criminal Department, after all, the people in the General Arrest Department are not in the court, but their bosses will always have points for relevant information, but the final result is that the officials and officials of the Criminal Department have not come!

At this time, the mood of panic and uneasiness suddenly rushed to everyone's heart. All the people who don't see are the emperor's henchmen, this situation is undoubtedly extremely abnormal, originally whispered in private, and even joked that someone was plotting to usurp the throne, that was even more pale, for fear that their crow's mouth would work, but there were also many marginal figures in the court who were suspicious.

If it's true that some people are desperate and succeed, why haven't they gotten the news?

Just as this extreme panic was inevitably spreading, there was a small commotion in the crowd at the rear. As someone gave way out, the high-ranking officials in front immediately recognized the two people who were walking towards this direction, one big and one small.

One is Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin who rarely goes to court, and the other is Yue Qianqiu, who also rarely appears on this occasion. As soon as the legendary uncle and nephew appeared, and one of them smiled at the corner of his mouth and was calm, and the other had a rigid face as if someone owed him eight hundred taels, some people were even more uneasy, but many officials who were originally worried about a palace change immediately put their hearts back in their stomachs.

Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, was accepted by the current emperor against public opinion, and also gave the prince and the crown prince the high position, as for Yue Qianqiu...... Well, people used to muttered whether he was the emperor's illegitimate son, so that the emperor could see it differently, but now because his adoptive mother broke the rumors of the emperor's illegitimate daughter, everyone's speculation has broken through the sky.

There must be something wrong with Yue Qianqiu's unruly person being so filial to his adoptive mother who suddenly came home. If it is not the adoptive mother but the biological mother, then the situation is very clear, the emperor must be more favorable to his grandson than the little fat man!

But in any case, if these two people appear here, it means that the people behind them are all safe and sound, that is to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong in the palace, but today's court meeting, there will definitely be a major event made public!

Of course, Yue Qianqiu noticed those eyes that secretly looked at him, and he was really a little annoyed in his heart.

He met Xiao Jing unexpectedly at the gate of the palace, and then he had to bear the strange stares around him when he walked with people. In fact, if he hadn't been dragged out of bed early in the morning, and when he learned that the palace had sent a message to him to go to the court, he wouldn't have slept well all night, and he would never have ignored Xiao Jingxian, and he would definitely have slipped away directly as soon as he met someone.

He didn't want to come in side by side with this guy, as if he was a relative!

As for why the absent-minded...... Needless to say? Yesterday he explained to Princess Ping'an the news he had received from Xiao Jingxian, and the seemingly weak, but actually tenacious Emperor of Beiyan did not wash her face with tears, nor even showed any weak and sad emotions, but she could actually smile and comfort him in turn.

"It's okay, Beiyan is not the first day of chaos, your father values Zhen Rong so much, definitely not only because he is a former disciple of the head of Qingcheng, but also because he has the ability, and after experiencing great changes, he has a tough heart. You have to trust your father, he has always planned and then acted, and he will definitely be safe. ”

Until this moment, he still felt that Princess Ping'an's words were still echoing in his ears. If it were someone else, he would definitely laugh at this pure blind confidence, but at that time, in front of Princess Ping'an, he could only nod obediently in agreement. However, he was very worried that once the situation in Beiyan really changed greatly, the younger four would have three long and two short, and Princess Ping'an would not be able to hold on.

In the end, people's resistance to pressure is limited, and it is impossible to withstand a thousand hammers!

It was precisely because he was upset that Yue Qianqiu didn't say a word to Xiao Jing along the way, and at the same time completely ignored the inquiring eyes around him. Until suddenly there is a blocker in front of you. Just as he was about to get angry, he looked up and recognized it as his grandfather's successor, Li Changhong, the secretary of the household department, and then he barely squeezed out a smile.

"Lord Li is well."

"What a fart!" Li Changhong snorted with a tiger face, and then grabbed Yue Qianqiu without saying anything, and warned without waiting for anyone to struggle, "This person's heart is about to be messed up, don't ask me who I am looking for?" What about your grandfather and master? ”

At this moment, I don't know how many people are secretly thanking Li Changhong for asking such a question for them, and they all pricked up their ears for a while. Soon, they waited for a succinct answer.

"Grandpa and Master are both in the palace!"

Seeing Yue Qianqiu's innocent face, Li Changhong suddenly became angry: "You didn't say this!" Last night, there was a night of chaos outside, and I was stopped when I went out to ask questions in person. This early in the morning, the streets were really swords, and I don't know how many soldiers were dispatched, and I didn't see the three prime ministers and your master when I ran here. If there is no reason, the entire Jinling City will be in chaos! ”

Yue Qianqiu frowned, and when he saw that Xiao Jing on the side had nothing to do with himself, he smiled as if he had nothing to do with himself, and went straight to his own station, he could only say angrily: "It's not because of the incident that Beiyan Qiu Hunting Division made trouble?" Of course, the most important thing may be another news, you might as well ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin, when he met me in front of the palace gate yesterday, he said that the Emperor of Beiyan had been assassinated. ”

It's incredible!

Yue Qianqiu revealed such explosive news in one mouth, and saw that countless people were stunned around him, and even Li Changhong was surprised, so he said with a smile: "So, I pondered, the emperor is very suspicious that Lou Yingchang was instigated by someone in the coup d'état launched by Beiyan, and then ran to our Dawu to make waves, which made my Dawu people uneasy, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the anti-Beiyan, so the emperor began to clean up the remnants of the Autumn Hunting Division with great fanfare last night." ”

Li Changhong groaned slightly, and somewhat agreed with Yue Qianqiu's speculation. However, he had always known best how cunning this young man was, and when he let go of his hand, he snorted coldly: "Full of firewood!" ”

Seeing that this Hubu Shangshu put down his sleeves and walked away, as soon as he returned to the same place, several officials surrounded him and asked questions, Yue Qianqiu was not annoyed, he shrugged his shoulders with a smile, his eyes swept around, and he planned to find a vacant seat and stand for a while. But he finally found a good place among the crowds of officials, and before he had even passed, there was a sound of clapping.

People who often go to the court know that this is going to Daqing Gate, and although Yue Qianqiu doesn't know, he is still very good at following the trend. He stood still at first, and when the officials skillfully stood according to their shifts, he finally found the two officials standing in front of him that he recognized when he went to the court last time, and immediately walked towards them.

But he had just taken two steps, and a small yellow door came in front of him, and he didn't even bother to breathe in front of him, so he shouted directly: "Ninth Prince, the emperor announced that you will go to Daqing Palace!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the officials immediately realized that today was the Imperial Palace, and many people followed by hissed a breath of cool air. First, on the occasion of this kind of court meeting, the people of the Inner Servant Province actually called Yue Qianqiu the Ninth Prince; Second, in the Daqing Palace, where the place is limited, Yue Qianqiu, such a strange person with titles and no officials, can actually have a foothold!

Yue Qianqiu didn't want to be special on an occasion like today, but the emperor's words were undoubted, he hesitated, he was not as bold as Princess Ping'an, and after nodding, he asked as if he had unintentionally: "Did the emperor summon me?" ”

"And His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

Hearing this answer, Yue Qianqiu instinctively looked up in the direction of Xiao Jingxian, and saw that there was also such a small yellow door in front of him, and he happened to look at him at this time, and with a smile on his face, he suddenly became angry. However, he knew very well that the emperor summoned Xiao Jingxian for the matter of Beiyan, and summoned him, either for Lou Yingchang or for Cheng Qianqian, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and gestured at the little yellow door, signaling him to lead the way.

Rushed in front of a large number of high-ranking officials who were still in charge of the Daqing Gate, and then passed through the wide square in front of the palace, and then climbed the high steps, and finally came to the front of the Daqing Palace, Yue Qianqiu saw at a glance that the emperor was sitting on the throne in the center of the hall, and on both sides were the three prime ministers, including the old lady Yue, and on the other side were the little fat man and Li Chongming.

And Yue Qianqiu's eyes fell on Li Chongming for the first time. Compared with the little fat man with a good face, although Li Chongming, who has a miserable face, is dressed in a crown of the prince, he still has a dense circle of white cloth wrapped around his forehead, coupled with his pale face like snow, his shape and bones stand up to his clothes, and his body looks wide, and with the chair below, he looks extremely eye-catching.

The reason why it is eye-catching is because this is the main hall of the court, not the Chang Dynasty or the palace affairs, even the three prime ministers and His Royal Highness the Quasi-Prince do not have a chair, but Li Chongming, the son of the world, is the only person sitting outside the emperor!

However, the little fat man who would have been angry because of this unequal treatment in the past, but at this moment, he was smiling, and when he found that Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu came together, he even bowed his head slightly at the two of them, grinned, and said hello.

Seeing his reaction, Yue Qianqiu immediately knew that after he stabbed Li Chongming yesterday and woke up and pretended to be unconscious, and then pulled Zhou Jiyue to slip away, the little fat man obviously performed well, and maybe he was praised by the emperor, plus he knew the truth that Li Chongming could get a chair at this time, so he was so generous.

Secretly sighing that the little fat man is getting bigger and bigger, he unconventionally let Xiao Jing go first, and he entered the main hall one step behind.

At this time, the dynasty had not yet begun, and the etiquette was not so cumbersome, plus Xiao Jingxian took the lead in front, Yue Qianqiu bowed deeply as before, and then straightened up. The Emperor didn't say anything, but pointed straight to the empty stands on the left and right. At this time, Chen Wuliang opened his mouth on his behalf.

"King Jin, please stand under His Royal Highness the King of England, and the Ninth Prince will go to support the old man."

If this is not the last dynasty, Yue Qianqiu will accompany his grandfather, there is no problem at all, but at this moment, while he bows down, he is a little uncertain. Sure enough, when he came to the side of Old Lady Yue, what he was waiting for was a low scolding.

"Stinky boy, you did a good job!"

Yue Qianqiu saw Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong, the two prime ministers, glancing at him, he could only whisper with a face full of grievances: "Grandpa, I didn't do anything!" Yesterday I was in the Jiawang Mansion Annex, but I was desperate ......."

"I didn't ask you how you were in the other courtyard, but you were talking about the good things you did in the General Capture Division!" Seeing that the little grandson next to him was really silent, Old Lady Yue snorted lightly, "Go back and settle accounts with you!" Now stand honestly for me and listen honestly! ”

Even if there is no order from the old lady Yue, Yue Qianqiu plans to stand honestly and listen honestly, and does not plan to make any moths at this court meeting where all the officials gather. It's just that as the hundred officials and fish entered the Daqing Gate, the high-ranking people entered the hall, and the low-ranking people stood in front of the main hall one by one, and then saluted, and his strange position was naturally seen by those who had a share in the temple.

And after the complicated etiquette at the beginning and all kinds of things that had been scheduled to be announced at the court meeting one by one, the officials inside and outside the palace finally waited for the emperor's words.

"Recently, the spies of the Northern Yan Autumn Hunting Division ravaged Jinling, and after robbing the law field, they even assassinated the prince Chongming in the Jiawang Mansion Courtyard, which is unbearable. Last night, the three divisions went out together to destroy many strongholds of the Autumn Hunting Division in Beijing, and retrieved Liu Guofeng, a prisoner who had been robbed before, and one of the co-criminals in the robbery field was killed, and countless other spies were arrested. I have issued an order to expose Lou Yingchang's corpse to Jinling Taipingmen, and the people will be angry! ”
