The matter of the fishing village made Zhu Xi think of a person.

So, without saying a word, I turned around and went back to Kyoto without stopping.

King Zhen and his entourage came and went in a hurry, quickly whipped up, entered Kyoto, and went straight to the palace.

"True King, the emperor invites you to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace" The emperor's father-in-law suddenly blocked Zhu Xi's way.

Zhu Xi frowned, very displeased. He was now bent on seeing King Liang, and asked about Song Yi's whereabouts from King Liang.

But the emperor summoned him, Zhu Xi paused for a few seconds, and at this moment, Gonggong Xi said again, "Lord, King Liang is not in the palace, if you want to know his whereabouts, you should go to see the emperor first."

When Gonggong Xi mentioned King Liang, Zhu Xi didn't say much, and followed Gonggong Xi to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

"King Liang is not in the palace?" Although Zhu Xi was not in Kyoto, his subordinates had been keeping a close eye on all the movements of King Liang, and he had not heard the news of King Liang leaving the palace.

"Lord Wang, King Liang has been missing for a day, and the palace has been overturned. When the emperor heard that the prince had entered the palace, he asked the old slave to wait for the real king at the palace gate.

Zhu Xi was shocked when he heard that King Liang had been missing for a day, so he walked quickly towards the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Xi found that the three princes were already present.

Zhu Xi was anxious in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he knelt down to the emperor and saluted "Long live"

"True King, you have finally returned to Beijing." Before Emperor Zhao Pang De could speak, the crown prince took the lead in speaking, and his tone was very impatient.

"True king, excuse me," the emperor began.

Zhu Xi stood up and automatically walked to the side of the main hall.

"Long live, I heard that King Liang has been missing for a day, have you found his whereabouts?" Zhu Xi asked.

"You just entered the palace, and you know about King Liang's disappearance? I was about to tell you about this, but King Liang had been missing for a day, and there was no trace of him. I have already made people look around, and King Liang seems to have evaporated from the world. What news do you have, True King? The emperor's words blurted out made the third prince Zhao Hongli more sure of a certain guess, peeked at the crown prince and the second prince, and found that they were not too surprised, and they no longer behaved abnormally.

"Don't hide it, the ministers entered the palace to find King Liang."

"The true king is also here to find King Liang, what are you looking for him?"

"The minister's people, found that the assassin who broke into the palace for a banquet in the palace that day was related to King Liang"

"Really?" The Emperor stood up.

"It's true" Zhu Xi didn't tell the truth completely, after all, Song Yi was also involved, and Zhu Xi still didn't want people to know that King Liang was related to Song Yi.

Looking at the current situation, King Liang must have other plans, and now he suddenly disappeared from the palace, maybe he has blatantly rebelled.

Zhu Xi was anxious in his heart, hating himself for coming back a day late and letting King Liang run away.

"True King, the disappearance of King Liang is such a big thing, but you are not in Kyoto. If it weren't for the fact that the real king made such a big move to find the real princess some time ago, we wouldn't be so passive now. Don't dare to look for King Liang with great fanfare," said the crown prince Zhao Honghao, without giving the real king face at all.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry. Didn't the real king already say just now that King Liang's people were involved in the last assassination? In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should listen to the true king talk about this matter first" The second prince, Zhao Hongpu, disagreed with the prince every time, so when he saw that the prince accused the true king, he helped the true king speak.

"The real king is in charge of the palace guards, and after being away from Beijing for so many days, King Liang suddenly disappeared, how can the palace not be in a hurry?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better to be restless. It's not something you can fix in a hurry. My father called us here just to work together and discuss what to do next."

The third prince, Zhao Hongli, saw that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, and he was about to get angry, so he hurriedly reconciled, "The crown prince and the second prince, you all don't say a word, let's listen to what the real prince has to say first."

"Well, a little thing can make a fuss. Let's figure out first, why did the real king say that King Liang participated in the assassination that night? ”

"Your Majesty. When an assassin appeared in the palace, he asked his men to investigate if there was anything wrong with Kyochu recently. In the end, Rangchen discovered that a few days before the assassins appeared in the palace, a group of Jurchens had mixed in in Beijing, and they were disguised and lived in the Huibin Building in the south of the city. Chen Shunteng touched the melon and found out that the behind-the-scenes boss of the Huibin Building was King Liang. But the stakes are very high, and the minister does not dare to slander King Liang casually, so he can only let people secretly investigate and collect evidence. Sure enough, it was found that Liangwang's industry has spread all over the world, in addition to Huibin Building, Jingzhong Ping'an ticket number, Longmen Dart Bureau, etc. are all Liangwang's industries. Among them, the Longmen Dart Bureau has gathered many people from the rivers and lakes, doing dart business on the surface, but secretly contacting the civilian armed forces, and the purpose is obvious. ”

These aroused the suspicion of the minister, and after continuing to investigate, I learned that there was a force among the people who supported King Liang and opposed the emperor, and it was those people in the Longmen Dart Bureau. Therefore, there is reason to suspect that King Liang has been operating in the people, gathering people in the rivers and lakes to form a counter-army. Moreover, the minister also found out that last year's locust plague and peasant riots in Henan, Gansu and other places were also instigated by King Liang's people."

"Why didn't you say something so serious? Uncle Huang, no, King Liang harbored evil intentions and should arrest him, but now that he is missing, does it mean that he has noticed it and escaped? When the prince heard about this for the first time, he was naturally very angry.

"True King, since you have already suspected King Liang, why haven't you given it to the court these days. It is also good that the emperor and the court will be alert" The second prince was not as excited as the prince, and said calmly.

"The crown prince and the second prince, if it were someone else, the minister would have already arrested him. But King Liang is not an ordinary person, he is a prince and the fourth prince of the first emperor. If there is no ironclad evidence, and he dares to make a move against King Liang, he will only fall into the mouth, thinking that the emperor will not allow King Liang. It also gave him the opportunity to win the sympathy of the people. This matter has been reported to the emperor. The emperor is informed"

The crown prince Zhao Honghao, the second prince Zhao Hongpu and the third prince Zhao Hongli all looked at the emperor in shock. It turned out that the emperor had long known that King Liang had bad intentions, so since he knew that King Liang was missing, he was so angry that he mobilized the Imperial Forest Army and the Shenji Battalion to find King Liang. It turns out that there is such a backstory.

And the trust between the true king and the emperor also gave the crown prince a judgment.

Emperor Zhao Pang De looked at his three sons, all of whom were very good, which should have been a very gratifying thing. But as a prince, if you are very good, it will be a troublesome thing.

The emperor has been privately observing the three princes who is more qualified to inherit the throne. But the three princes have their own advantages and disadvantages, which has always made the emperor undecided.

He also stood out from the previous emperor's princes and finally sat on the dragon chair. He knew that guarding the country now needed a wise, forbearing, and talented emperor, but not a tyrannical and radical emperor.

He already had the answer in his mind, and only one of the three princes could become a qualified guardian role.

But Zhao Pang De was not prepared to issue an edict so early, he wanted his three sons to compete with each other, supervise each other, and grow together.

"The True King did tell me. Therefore, King Liang's Tianyou Hall has always been guarded by guards, but he still let him escape from the palace. This matter cannot be blatantly allowed to arrest King Liang. I still want the true king's people to find out the news of King Liang for me. It's best if I can capture it alive, if not, I don't want a second True Dragon Sect to appear."

When the emperor talked about the True Dragon Sect, his tone was murderous.

Everyone in the Qianzhao Dynasty knew that the True Dragon Sect opposed the organization of the Qianzhao Dynasty and the former dynasty.

"Yes" Zhu Xi received the order, knowing that the emperor had made a killing move. So, he hurried out of the palace and gathered people to find the whereabouts of King Liang.
