"Nuo Min, it seems that someone wants to be unfavorable to Grandpa Guo." Looking at the light of the fire coming from the direction of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, Keiko Yamaguchi, who followed Nomin out, said with a frosty mask.

Obviously, the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion prison will not catch fire for no reason, in order to ensure Li Yuntian's safety, the entire prison has already been emptied, and only Li Yuntian is imprisoned inside, so there is no doubt that the other party is going for Li Yuntian.

"It's dangerous!" Nuo Min also reacted at this time, and patted his chest with palpitations, if he couldn't dig through the tunnel tonight, then Li Yuntian would be buried in the fire.

"Who is going to kill Xianggong!" The next moment, Nuo Min's face turned cold, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, she was sure that this was definitely not what Emperor Xuande meant, because if Emperor Xuande wanted to kill Li Yuntian, there would be no need to be so troublesome, so it must have been done by someone else.

"Nuo Min, it seems that there is going to be a great change in the capital, and it is better for Grandpa Guo not to leave." Keiko Yamaguchi groaned for a moment and looked at Nomin solemnly.

"You mean the throne?" Nuo Min was very familiar with the current situation in the capital, and was taken aback when he heard this, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Although Li Yuntian's affairs in the capital are in an uproar now, people in the officialdom are more concerned about another matter, that is, the issue of imperial power after the death of Emperor Xuande.

After all, the crown prince Zhu Qizhen is only seven years old, and he is only eight years old after the New Year, and he will definitely not be able to govern the government.

"The emperor drove out King Yue not long ago, which means that King Yue has posed a threat to the crown prince, and now the prince is too young to govern, and it is not yet known who can ascend to the throne of the Ming Dynasty!" Keiko Yamaguchi nodded with a cold expression, if the crown prince Zhu Qizhen was older, there would be a lot less waves, and now I don't know how many royal children secretly covet the emperor's throne.

After all, an adult emperor is far more able to control the situation of the Ming Dynasty than a seven or eight-year-old emperor, which will make the Ming Dynasty stable and ensure that the imperial power is not crowded out by the vassals.

It is worth mentioning that it was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that the imperial succession system inherited from father to son was determined as a legal system, and the imperial succession system in the early Ming Dynasty was not reliable, and there was a possibility that the elder brother would end up with the younger brother.

In other words, if there are children of the royal family who can get the support of important ministers of the court, then they will replace the young prince and ascend to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

If this is taken into account, the reason for Li Yuntian's assassination tonight is about to come out, it is obvious that as the prince's teacher, Li Yuntian will definitely support the prince's accession to the throne, so that the prince will be supported by the strongest military force of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaowu Army, so that others will not be able to shake his throne.

What is particularly important is that although Li Yuntian's prestige in the Ming army is inferior to that of the British Duke Zhang Fu and the Duke of Zhongguo Zhou Zheng, his influence in the army is the highest and unparalleled, and the armies of the Northern Military Region and the Liaodong Military Region north of Gyeonggi will certainly be led by Li Yuntian at that time, which is enough to form a powerful deterrent to any force in the court.

And once Li Yuntian is assassinated, then the prince will lose the strongest strength he can rely on, and what is worse is that the Xiaowu army Jiang's hearts are fluctuating, and under the bewitchment of some people with ulterior motives, he may be co-opted and then in a hostile position with the prince.

"Keiko, what should we do next?" Looking at the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion prison where the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Nomin frowned and asked, this sudden fire disrupted her plans.

"Wait and see what happens when Grandpa Guo wakes up." Keiko Yamaguchi groaned for a while, and said to Nuo Min in a coquettish voice, now the situation in the capital has become extremely complicated because of the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Prison, and it is no longer beyond her and Nuo Min's control, and it must be judged by Li Yuntian.

Due to the ferocity of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, the people of the entire capital were alarmed, and they all put on their clothes and gathered on the streets to look at the burning places in the imperial city and discuss, not knowing where it was on fire.

The fire at the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion burned all morning before it was extinguished, and the entire Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion was in ruins, with charred and blackened ruins everywhere.

Chen Tai stood expressionlessly in front of the burned Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion Prison, his face was extremely ugly, and the burly general knelt in front of him with his head down, not only with a knife wound on his body, but also with a black face due to the firefighting.

Many soldiers from the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion were enthusiastically waving the tools in their hands to dig the ruins of the cell where Li Yuntian was held, according to the burly general, Li Yuntian must have been buried in the ruins if he failed to escape from the cell, Chen Tai now has only a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Li Yuntianji can escape this catastrophe.

However, Chen Tai knew that this possibility was very small, and Li Yuntian might be killed by smoke and collapsed buildings even if he was not engulfed by the fire, but he could not give up any hope until Li Yuntian was confirmed to be dead.

Moreover, Li Yuntian is an important minister of the imperial court, so he has to see people in life and corpses in death, and he can only explain to Emperor Xuande if he finds Li Yuntian's body.

Soon after, Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu and other important officials of the imperial court hurried over to check the situation at the scene, and when they saw that the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion had collapsed into a ruin, everyone's faces showed a look of shock, so it seemed that Li Yuntian had little hope of surviving.

"Zhen Guogong really didn't escape?" After saying hello to Chen Tai, Zhang Fu looked at the burly general expressionlessly and asked urgently.

"Master Yu, after the thief entered the prison, he ignited the fire oil, and Zhen Guogong couldn't get out!" A painful look appeared on the burly general's face, and he touched his head to the ground and said, "I know that I have made a big mistake, and I am willing to die to apologize." ”

"What the hell is going on, how did the thieves get in?" Without waiting for Zhang Fu to speak, Yang Shiqi, who was standing beside him, asked in a deep voice, his words were extremely anxious, you must know that the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion is not only in the heavily guarded imperial city, but also because of Li Yuntian's case, it is also deliberately strengthened guard, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to infiltrate, and it has also ignited the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion.

"Lord Yang, the leading thief is the chief eunuch and the left eunuch Cheng Wang Yu suddenly came to announce the decree at the dawn of this morning, escorted by the Jinyi guard, and there is no doubt that he has deceitfully released them to the courtyard of the prison."

The burly general raised his head and said with annoyance, "Because the edict to the Zhenguo Gong is a matter of importance, according to the regulations, the lowly duty must inform the governor of Chen, so the lowly let them wait in the courtyard, who would have thought that they suddenly launched an attack, killed the guards in the courtyard and broke into the prison, and when the lowly officials mobilized people to rush there, they had already set the prison on fire with the fire oil they carried. ”

"The celebrant?" Zhang Fu, Yang Shiqi and the others were taken aback when they heard this, they didn't know the inside story, and they couldn't have imagined that it would involve the celebrant in any case, could this be what Emperor Xuande meant? But is it necessary for Emperor Xuande to take such trouble to kill Li Yuntian?

"Since they are here to assassinate the prince of Zhenguo, why did they set fire to the prison?" Although he was shocked and puzzled in his heart, it was obvious that now was not the time to investigate the hidden secret, Yang Shiqi then thought of another matter, and asked in a deep voice with a frown.

"Lord Yuyang, the cell where Zhen Guogong is located is specially made, the walls are made of hard rock, and the cell door is also a thick iron door, with three locks, it is difficult to enter without a key, so they brought fire oil." The burly general explained in a deep voice when he heard this.

"So, Zhen Guogong wasn't killed by those thieves?" Yang Shiqi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his expression became excited, in this case, Li Yuntian might still have a glimmer of life.

"In terms of timing, they didn't have a chance to get into the cell." The burly general thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.

"Hurry, dig up the ruins as quickly as possible, Zhenguo Gong may still be alive, and after rescuing Zhen Guogong, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Yang Shiqi's heart, and he shouted at the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion who were busy working in the ruins, he couldn't let go of any possible opportunity, even if it was too small.

Hearing Yang Shiqi's words, the soldiers of Naxi's downgraded Governor's Mansion couldn't help but work harder, they didn't value which thousand taels of silver, but the possibility of rescuing Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian was obviously much more important to them than a thousand taels of silver.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Master Jian passed away not long ago!" At this moment, an internal servant arrived in a hurry, bowed to Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu and others, and said in a sharp voice.

"What?" Everyone at the scene was taken aback when they heard this, and their faces showed sad looks, I have to say that Jian Yi is not only highly qualified in the court, but also has a very good popularity.

Although everyone was prepared in their hearts, they didn't expect Jian Yi to walk in front of Emperor Xuande, which undoubtedly made the situation in the DPRK more complicated, without Jian Yi mediating in the middle, the civilian official group would become a plate of scattered sand, and the struggle between the various factions was inevitable, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong and other cabinet elders would not be able to balance the six ministers at all.

In fact, as early as the third year of Xuande, Jianyi had already asked Emperor Xuande to resign on the grounds of his advanced age, but Emperor Xuande did not allow it, and specially gave Jianyi the seal, so that he no longer dealt with the tedious affairs of the court and stayed by Emperor Xuande's side day and night to discuss the reason, maintain the peace of the country, and the official title and Yulu were still the same, so that Jianyi could get rid of the heavy official duties.

It's a pity that soon after Hu Ying asked Emperor Xuande to invite Jian Yi to preside over the affairs of the six ministries, after all, as a great official, how could Jian Yi abandon the affairs of the six ministries? Including Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department at that time, no one could make the officials of the six departments obey, and the six departments quarreled endlessly, and they had to invite Jian Yi back.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande ordered Jianyi to regain the power of the government again, and gave him a silver medal, engraved with the four characters of "loyalty and generosity", which shows that Jianyi's prestige among the officials of the six ministries is by no means comparable to other officials.

"I've found Zhen Guogong!" Jian Yi's death made the atmosphere at the scene dull and depressing, and I don't know how long it took for the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office who were digging to suddenly burst into a shout, breaking the silence of the scene.

Hearing this, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others were in high spirits, and they all looked in the direction of the ruins, with an ardent look on their faces, hoping that a miracle would happen.
