Seeing the three of them leaving, Cheng Huancai looked at his eldest brother Cheng Yancai suspiciously, and asked, "Big brother, it's obvious that these three people want to cling to our Cheng family, why don't you accept it?" Also, there is indeed no news from the palace at all, and even I am worried about whether His Majesty has really had an accident, why do you conclude that Your Majesty is fine, big brother? ”

Cheng Yancai looked in the direction of the palace, as if he could see through the various buildings and trees in the holy capital, and saw the palace, and said leisurely: "Actually, I have already shown favor to them, and I have just revealed the information that Your Majesty is safe and sound, and the three of them are much more perceptive than the second brother, and they have already understood the key to this matter, so they hurriedly left and returned home."

As for why I can see that His Majesty is okay, there are two reasons.

One is that none of your two nieces have sent any news, which means that Your Majesty is safe. Lingbei doesn't say, Yilingnan Lao Cheng, if something big happens to Her Majesty, she will definitely inform us of the news, even if she herself has a quiet temperament, after all, she has to think about her children.

Second, I heard that who were the adults who went to the Taiping Pavilion yesterday? Even His Majesty's henchmen such as Sister Hu appeared there, wouldn't this be a cover-up! ”

Cheng Huancai was even more confused, and asked directly: "Sister Hu went to ask for a meeting outside the Taiping Pavilion, how does it mean that Your Majesty is fine?" My brother doesn't understand......"

Cheng Sandpiper sighed: "Second brother, you are so stupid, it is difficult for you to be an official all these years." Think about it, who is this big sister Hu? She is the Minister of Police, but she handed over all the things of the Police Department to He Jianji, and led someone to be responsible for the security of the palace, as if she was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Her Majesty trusted her the most, and handed over half of the guards of the entire palace to her and Liu Shengbang. Today's ministers of the DPRK and China can enter the palace, it is her arrangement, otherwise the palace is blocked, even the ministers of the DPRK and China will not be able to enter. And if she wants to enter the Taiping Pavilion, Your Majesty will never stop her, if Your Majesty blocks it, it must be someone else's pretending to be Your Majesty's will, and her character as Sister Hu may have directly led the troops to attack and enter the escort.

Therefore, His Majesty's henchmen like Hu Damei also appeared outside the Taiping Pavilion, and I understood that this was a play, a play directed by His Majesty himself. It is likely that His Majesty sensed that some ministers in the court were restless, and His Majesty wanted them to jump out of their own accord and eliminate these uneasy factors as soon as possible.

If this is the case, then our Cheng family should keep a low profile. Second brother, you will quickly resign from the position of vice minister of education tomorrow because of your old age, and both of us brothers will return to our hometowns to protect ourselves and plan for the prosperity of my Cheng family for a hundred years. If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty may want to arrange the affairs of the state system and pave the way for the prince's future in advance! ”

Cheng Huancai was taken aback, he never thought that this matter would involve so much. However, he still doesn't understand, since His Majesty is fine, then the Cheng family should sit back and relax, why should he depreciate himself and resign from his official position? At this time, shouldn't we win over more court officials and fight for the position of the prince for a few grandchildren?

Seeing Cheng Huancai looking at him suspiciously, Cheng Yancai explained: "This is also the reason why Brother Wei just now refused to openly accept Wu Tang, Yan Jing and others. In this sensitive period when the country is about to be established, the most important thing for our Cheng family is to clear up the relationship with the courtiers.

The two children in Lingnan are still young, and if they want to become princes, His Majesty must take precautions against some accidents. In the past, many emperors would cut off all the relatives of the prince's family when they established the crown prince, so as to avoid the occurrence of incidents in which relatives interfered in the palace and shook the country.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to guess the heart of the emperor, even if it is a generous and benevolent lord today, our Cheng family cannot try this kind of risk.

What's more, the reason why Wu Tang and Yan Jing want to get closer to our Cheng family is because they are not aware of His Majesty's safety. Your Majesty is well, and they will stay away from us, so as not to get into trouble. They naturally understand this truth. We can sell personal favors, there is no need to befriend the courtiers, because of small losses, the next hundred years of the Cheng family are still on the two children in Lingnan. ”

Cheng Huancai now understands everything. He laughed bitterly at his stupidity, and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am really not suitable to be an official in this court, these twists and turns, without my brother, I really can't figure it out." I listened to my brother, and as soon as this matter was over, I resigned and went back to my hometown in Jiangxi.

It's just that the elder brother, Lingnan's son Gui Shi, can be made the crown prince? After all, he is still young. One of His Majesty's previous sons, Gui Shi, is now an adult, wouldn't it be better to make him the crown prince...... It seems that after this son went to the West, there was no follow-up, and the elder brother never thought about it......."

Speaking of this, Cheng Huancai showed a hint of ruthlessness.

Cheng Sandpiper shook his head and said, "No." His Majesty has always been generous and merciful, and the Cheng family must not do such a thing as self-destruction of the city wall. I have heard the two sisters of Lingnan and Lingbei talk about it, as if His Majesty does not like this son too much, but feels indebted, but because of his love for Lingnan, he is more favored by the prince of the Gui Shi, and he has been personally cultivated by his side since he was a child, and the Gui Shi is also very competitive, which is deeply appreciated by His Majesty.

Moreover, His Majesty already owes some debt to the prince of the world, if our Majesty detects any action, but harms the Cheng family, it will inevitably be extremely stupid. In the eyes of the elder brother, the Gui Shi is the most likely to become the prince, and our Cheng family is the best choice to do nothing. ”

........

At the same time, in an unknown side hall of the palace, the holy oil lamp illuminated the entire hall as bright as day.

Minister of the Navy Xinzhong Wang Luo Xuan, Premier Zeng Guanlan, Director of the General Staff Zuo Zongtang, Minister of Police Hu Damei, Minister of Health Huang Yiyun, Director of the Department of Special Services Fan Ruzeng, Minister of Supervision Li Hongzao and others rushed in.

Cheng Lingnan nodded slightly, and then led the two princes away.

As soon as everyone entered the main hall, they saw Emperor Feng Yunshan sitting on the dragon chair, who looked the slightest injured. At that moment, everyone worshipped on the ground, shouting long live, celebrating Feng Yunshan's dragon body and health.

Feng Yunshan coughed lightly and said loudly: "All the Aiqing are the most trusted people by me, and I have something to announce when I summoned the Zhongqing here today. Of course, I would also like to ask the opinions of the secretaries. ”

"Please show me your majesty!" The ministers hurriedly responded.

"Hu Aiqing, Fan Aiqing, you two will first inform me and Zhong Aiqing of the results of the investigation of my assassination last night, and you must seek justice for Liu Aiqing!" Speaking of Liu Shengbang, Feng Yunshan's eyes were a little flushed.

After listening to the emperor's words, although they vaguely knew something, everyone was still shocked.

The assassination of the emperor, and later, with the emperor's inappearance, everyone speculated and had different opinions, and the entire courtiers began to feel a little uneasy. Even they, like other courtiers, suspected that it was just the emperor's own rhetoric, but now that the emperor himself said that he was assassinated, this confirmed that the assassination did exist, and, from the emperor's words just now, it seems that Liu Shengbang, the head of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, had an accident for this?

Fan Ruzeng stood up, bowed his hand to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, after a joint investigation by the Ministry of Police and the Special Service Department, last night Your Majesty and Lord Liu and a group of 10 people were assassinated by assassins in front of the Mingyuan Tower of the Confucius Temple on the banks of the Qinhuai River, of which 3 were auxiliary attackers and 2 were the main assassins in charge of the assassination.

This assassination incident was extremely dangerous, and it was only thanks to Liu Shengbang and Lord Liu who stood up to block the two shots for His Majesty, so fortunately His Majesty was not injured. However, Liu Shengbang was shot at close range, especially the second shot with his head to resist, and died heroically on the spot.

Among the five assassins, 2 were killed by Lord Liu on the spot, 1 was killed by the rest of the guards, 1 was captured, and 1 escaped. The escaped Assassin has also been discovered, but he is dead, presumably by someone behind the scenes. ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately exploded, if it weren't for the emperor's face, I am afraid that there would already be a lot of discussion.
