When the guards at the gate changed shifts, Du Yuyan was taken away by someone for some reason.

Du Yuyan wanted to use poison to murder Liu Chunyan, but she couldn't do it, and she was taken down on the spot, and this incident became the trigger/fire/cable of the upcoming storm in the imperial city.

Wave after wave, I thought that if I took down these three or two shadow puppeteers, the matter would come to an end, but things were far from so simple.

The hall that was originally prepared for the queen mother's birthday is now full of flesh and blood, and everyone in this hall is in danger.

As long as it is a few princes, this shadow puppet was brought into the capital by the prince, and after the incident, it naturally became a lost person.

"King Yan, how do you explain this matter?" Nine thousand years old asked the younger brother of the current saint in that gloomy tone.

"Brother Huang, you have to be aware of this matter, the younger brother does not want to kill the imperial brother, over the years, the younger brother has always adhered to his duty in the fiefdom and paid tribute to the Celestial Empire, and he can learn from the world." King Yan said loudly.

"It's a heartfelt piece, if it weren't for the nine thousand years old and Lord Lu by your side today, I'm afraid you would have already had your hands." The emperor said with a sneer.

Originally, the emperor who had already had the idea of retiring, saw that King Yan was so sad in his heart, so he asked sharply, "We are compatriots of the same mother, why do we have to be like this, the royal brother has treated you well all these years, and I am inconvenient to say much about the queen mother here just now." ”

Nine thousand years old still tried his best to persuade the guards to protect the emperor and the prince to retreat, and the others stayed in this hall until everything was clarified.

Lu Siguan was on the way to send the Empress Dowager and Liu Chunyan to Cining Palace at this time, but he still failed to return to the emperor.

The emperor thought that the situation in the imperial city had been controlled, but he didn't know that a bigger crisis was quietly coming, and things were not so simple in the first place.

……

"Brother Huang, it's really not the younger brother's doing, how unbearable the younger brother is, he will definitely not do these things in front of the queen mother, and the younger brother has no intention of fighting for power, and he has long been attached to flowers and plants." King Yan had tears in his eyes and said softly.

When the emperor saw this scene, he couldn't speak, turned his back, and turned his back to the ministers.

"Your Majesty, you still leave this ominous place, and the old slave will take care of it." Nine thousand years old said it again.

"Your Majesty, this is a big matter, you have to think twice." All the ministers didn't dare to speak, only Song Jingchen stood up and said something for King Yan.

Hearing this, the emperor slowly turned around, "You are also in the same party?" He asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, let's listen to Weichen for the time being." Song Jingchen said righteously, without the slightest fear.

"The minister thought that this matter could never be done by King Yan, he entered Beijing alone this time, and did not bring a soldier or a horse, and assassinated the emperor in this hall, if he didn't succeed, he was convicted on the spot, and it must be a capital crime, even if it was done, then he would not escape death, after all, there are thousands of guards guarding this imperial city." Song Jingchen continued.

"Lord Song's words are very true, you must carefully consider the imperial brother, although it is not a pity for the younger brother to die, but after the death of the younger brother, the person who murdered the imperial brother is still on the side, and the imperial brother still has to find out the reason." King Yan said preemptively.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Song, this is already a stolen profit, could it be that you and this King Yan are accomplices." Nine thousand years old looked at Song Jingchen with a displeased expression and asked loudly.

Nine thousand years old is too underestimated Song Jingchen, he is definitely different from Master Du, although he is only a teacher, but in terms of strategy and talent and Lu Siguan, no one else can match.

It's just that Song Jingchen hasn't been in the official career for a long time, and he is behind Master Du, so he is naturally not very conspicuous on weekdays, and he will definitely not be able to find out if he is nine thousand years old.

This envoy to Fanbang can be a good illustration of Song Jingchen's talent, no matter what method he uses, in the end, he snatched Fanbang from the hands of the Celestial Empire and asked for it back with his mouth.

At this time, the Celestial Dynasty was weak, and Fanbang naturally knew about it, and even more so, Song Jingchen also asked the city back, and even asked Fanbang to pay tribute every year.

"Nine thousand years old said but think twice, I Song has been away from Beijing for many days, so many things have happened in the capital, I Song someone is far away in Fanbang and I have heard a little, and a clear-eyed person can see through it at a glance, do you have to let me break it?" Song Jingchen never gave in the slightest.

Nine thousand years old was very displeased, he didn't expect that Song Jingchen, who had only been in the office for a few years, would dare to say this to himself.

He also understood what Song Jingchen meant, and felt the threat from Song Jingchen, but he didn't expect to send away a Lord Song and a more powerful role.

"Okay, don't fight anymore, I heard what Lord Song meant, and felt that it was not unreasonable, it must not be so simple at this time, this King Yan is also my brother, how can he ...... on the day of his mother's birthday" The emperor said bluntly.

"The emperor is wise." Song Jingchen glanced at the nine thousand years old as he spoke, and found that the nine thousand years old had a green face.

"But this matter will definitely be investigated today, and I will give amnesty to the world, but I will definitely not let go of such a disobedient person." After speaking, the emperor glanced at everyone.

At this time, the main hall has been surrounded by the Royal Forest Legion, and there are about 300 people on the main hall, and everyone is in danger.

"Today, I have appointed Lord Song as the prime minister and ordered him to take over at this time, and the murderer will be brought to justice today, and he will be assisted by nine thousand years old." After speaking, he turned around and left, he was not worried about the queen mother, and he also wanted to take the prince to leave this bloody scene.

"Some emperors are long, and the ministers will not be dishonored." Song Jingchen thanked the emperor.

Hearing that the emperor named Song Jingchen as prime minister, Jiu Qiansui's heart suddenly tightened, and he realized that this time he had moved a stone and shot himself in the foot.

I thought that Lord Du would be pushed down and Lu Guozheng would be put on the throne, but in the future, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would already be looking forward to themselves, and they never thought that on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, they would kill Song Jingchen.

Next is Lu Guozheng, who has been running around in the mansions of various officials in Beijing for the past few days, originally thinking that the position of prime minister was already in the bag, but now watching this boiled duck fly, his heart is very sad, and he has unspeakable suffering.

The emperor announced in the hall that all the ministers were present, and Jiu Qiansui and Lu Guozheng had no way to refute the slightest, so they could only accept it silently.

Just now, Song Jingchen had already given three big gifts to the emperor, and he planned to give the emperor a bigger gift next.

The emperor asked Jiu Qian-seo to assist Song Jingchen, because he also thought of Song Jingchen's rebuttal of Jiu Qian-year-old words in the court just now, so naturally there was something in his words.

After the emperor left the main hall with the two princes and a group of concubines, he walked in the direction of Cining Palace, and there were only dozens of guards on the side to protect him.

Nine thousand years old saw the emperor leave the main hall, although he was a little unhappy about what happened to Song Jingchen just now, but at this moment he had a cold smile on his face.

……

Liu Chunyan supported the Empress Dowager on the way to Cining Palace, and as she walked, she ushered in a patrol of the Imperial Forest Army.

Directly in front of the patrol team, a guard aroused Liu Chunyan's alarm, and she suddenly felt that this person was very familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen it.

There was a strange feeling in her heart, but in this emergency situation, Liu Chunyan didn't have time to think about anything.

She looked at the guard as the guard looked at her, and the guard looked at her with such a familiar look in his eyes.

While helping the Queen Mother to continue walking, he looked back at the figure of the guard from time to time, and grabbed his head with his hand from time to time.

Lu Siguan on the side found that Liu Chunyan was a little strange, but the Queen Mother was not good at asking questions on the side, so she just gave Liu Chunyan two looks.

Liu Chunyan motioned to Lu Siguan to check on the Royal Forest Army that had just passed, but this Lu Siguan didn't understand what she meant at all.

She walked all the way, she was about to arrive at Cining Palace, her heart was becoming more and more uneasy, she walked up the steps, and just arrived at the door, Liu Chunyan suddenly shouted, "I remember, how can I appear in the palace?" ”

Liu Chunyan's words shocked Lu Siguan and the Queen Mother, and everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

At this time, she looked very flustered, "Hurry up...... Go back to the main hall. Liu Chunyan looked at Lu Siguan and said very eagerly.

"Miss Lu, what's wrong with you?" The Queen Mother asked softly.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, the maiden saw a familiar figure in the group of guards who had just entered, but I didn't remember it for a while just now, but now I remember that that person was the person who followed me on the street of Jingshi the day before yesterday." Liu Chunyan said loudly.

"You make it clear, who is it, and why is it following you?" Lu Siguan looked at Liu Chunyan with straight eyes, and he didn't expect that the emperor and the emperor's eldest son were already in danger.

"I don't know, I saw that man outside the palace yesterday, why did he become the captain of the guard today, don't you think it's a little strange?" Liu Chunyan's words woke up Lu Siguan.

After hearing Liu Chunyan's words, the Empress Dowager also became nervous, looked at Lu Siguan and said, "Lord Lu, you hurry up and go to the main hall to have a look, you must protect the emperor thoroughly." ”

"Obey the order, the queen mother should return to Cining Palace as soon as possible, and the ministers can go back with peace of mind." Lu Siguan said softly.

Seeing that Liu Chunyan and the Empress Dowager entered Cining Palace, Lu Siguan instructed a group of subordinates he trusted to let them guard Cining Palace and not allow any idle people to enter, and then left to chase the team of royal forest troops just now.

……

On the other side, the emperor took the two princes and a group of concubines out of the main hall, and did not go far to meet this group of guards who came to patrol.

Seeing the emperor from afar, this large group of guards all squatted down to salute the emperor.

Seeing these guards, the emperor also felt a lot safer in his heart, and walked forward slowly, seeing that he was about to walk next to the guards, a guard leaned over and rushed towards the emperor with an arrow.

The guard drew his sword from his waist as he ran, and several guards protecting the emperor blocked in front of the emperor when they saw this, but this latent guard was too strong in martial arts, and instantly killed several guards protecting the emperor under the sword.

Immediately after raising his sword, he rushed towards the emperor, this sword was step by step away from the emperor After all, the prince and all the concubines were already too frightened to move, but they just watched the sword stabbing at the emperor.
