"Sorry, I'll take a call first." Liu Yi said hello to Lao Gao and immediately cut the call window.

But unexpectedly, the person who appeared on the screen was not Liu Yi's teacher Yu Wensong, but a completely unfamiliar face.

The other party is a man in his thirties, with a pair of smart glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his expression is unusually indifferent, which makes people feel uncomfortable at first glance.

"You are?" Liu Yi asked in surprise.

"Are you Liu Yi? Is it a student of Yuwen Song? The other party asked rhetorically in a domineering tone.

As soon as Liu Yi heard this tone, he immediately became alert, the person he was talking to was probably the secret police, otherwise how could the teacher's communication account get into his hands?

Anyone who has lived in the imperial capital, there are probably few who do not know the secret police, these secret police are like ghosts hidden in the crowd, always monitoring every move in all aspects, as long as the slightest carelessness in words and deeds, it is likely to be targeted by the secret police, making everyone often worried.

Liu Yixin said: "Since the teacher's account has been controlled by the secret police, I'm afraid that the teacher is in the hands of these people now, I have to answer carefully, so as not to cause trouble to the teacher." ”

"I'm asking you, are you a student of Yuwensong?" The other party saw that Liu Yi didn't speak, so he asked again.

"Yes, I'm a teacher's student."

"You've sent him a lot of messages, and it seems that you're very close."

"It's okay......"

"What is your purpose in looking for Yuwensong?"

"I didn't ...... There is no purpose, just to ask the teacher how he is doing. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Do you have ulterior motives between you? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi was a little angry, the other party was completely interrogating himself as a suspect, but the safety of the teacher was currently in the hands of these people, even if he was unhappy, he had to endure it for the time being.

"No, it's just a greeting."

"Do you know what Yu Wensong has been doing lately?"

"I don't know."

"Since you're in constant contact, you don't know anything about it, do you?"

The other party chattered endlessly, Liu Yi was a little annoyed, but he couldn't just turn off the conversation, which would make the other party feel weak.

Liu Yi thought about it for a while and decided to launch a counterattack, otherwise he would be asked by the other party all the time, and it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not say the wrong thing.

"Wait! You've asked so much, but I'm going to ask you, who are you? Why is the teacher's account with you? Why are you asking me questions, if you don't make it clear, I'm going to call the police! Liu Yi said in one breath.

The other party's face immediately became very ugly, and his eyes turned away from the screen, and it seemed that there should be someone else next to him.

Soon the man turned his gaze back to the screen and said to Liu Yi, "Be careful! After speaking, without waiting for Liu Yi to speak, the other party snapped and cut off the call, and the picture became unattended.

"This ...... Damn it! Liu Yi was a little angry by the other party, and punched the filing cabinet beside him fiercely, and immediately punched the filing cabinet into a dent.

Liu Yi, who calmed down, began to worry about the safety of the teacher, even the teacher and other characters were investigated by the secret police, it seems that the situation in the imperial capital is really tense now, I don't know if there will be an armed conflict, if it is so, I am afraid that the entire empire will be implicated.

Just when Liu Yi was worried about his teacher, everyone's attention was drawn to the live broadcast of the succession ceremony, which was one of the few successions in the history of the empire.

Normally, only when the emperor dies will the throne be handed over to the successor, and such a succession ceremony is rare, so the entire human world has focused its attention on this ceremony.

For this reason, Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi had to give the employees of the repair shop a day off, even if they didn't have a holiday, they would definitely not be able to work, so it was better to simply take a holiday.

Before the live broadcast started, Lao Wu's tavern was already full of people, and it was even more lively than a weekend night.

Everyone has a wine glass in their hands, just waiting for the live broadcast to start, so that they can see this important scene that is rare in a century.

"I bet with you, His Majesty the Emperor is probably too sick to die, otherwise he would not have chosen this time to pass on the throne." A frequent visitor to the tavern said loudly.

"I'm betting with you, I don't believe that His Majesty the Emperor is sick, he must have been coerced and had to pass on the throne!"

"You know what a fart, the emperor has a Praetorian Guard under him, who dares to threaten him?"

"What if the Praetorian Guard mutinies? You're so simple! ”

The drinkers relied on the effect of alcohol, and their mouths were full of nonsense, and the whole tavern was completely drowned in a noisy chatter.

Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi sat in the corner, listening to these people's nonsense, they couldn't help but shake their heads again and again, Liu Yi whispered to Shangguan Qi: "Fortunately, the mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, otherwise these people would have been invited by the secret police." ”

"Hehe, it's useless to invite them there, these people are used to running trains, and they can't ask why." Shangguanqi said with a smile.

At this time, Lao Wu came over and said with a smile on his face: "If only there was this kind of excitement every day, the business of my tavern would have to multiply several times." ”

"Don't be too happy, this succession is extraordinary, I'm afraid there will be chaos next." Liu Yi whispered his worries.

"Humph! It's messy, I'm still wishing for it. Shangguan Qi sneered: "Now in this world, it is better to shuffle the cards and start again, otherwise there is really no hope." ”

As everyone was talking, the live broadcast began, and a golden and splendid place appeared in the holographic projection screen, where hundreds of high-ranking officials dressed in luxurious dresses were neatly lined up in several columns, enclosing a red-carpeted road in the center, and the solemn and majestic music began to sound slowly......

At the end of the red carpet was a very tall throne, on the top of which sat an old man with a white beard, dressed in a black straight dress inlaid with various ornaments made of gold and precious stones, and the magnificence of this person was Li Quanzong, the supreme ruler of the Xinghan Empire and the 47th Emperor.

Li Quanzong has been the emperor for dozens of years, and although he is not young, the current developed medical technology can still allow him to live for many more years.

But His Majesty the Emperor chose to pass on the throne at this time, which made the empire very shocked, and all kinds of rumors spread to a large extent for this reason.

Because the camera is too far away, people watching the live broadcast can't see the expression on the emperor's face clearly, and everyone has nowhere to know whether the emperor's body is safe and sound.

"This lens is too far away, I can't see His Majesty the Emperor clearly......"

"yes, who knows if he's sick from so far away."

The people in the tavern were dissatisfied, and I believe that there will be many such complaints in other places.

At this time, the ceremonial officer on the scene began to read out the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, and the tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the voice of the ceremonial officer.

"All the subjects of the Starhan Empire, please all stand!" The ceremonial officer said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone in the tavern put down their wine glasses one after another, stood up in a hurry, and looked solemnly at His Majesty the Emperor in the hologram.

Although these people are usually swearing, swearing, and ruthless when talking about the emperor's gossip and anecdotes, under the infection of this solemn atmosphere, everyone showed great respect, and I have to say that the emperor's majesty is quite deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Then the ceremonial officer recited a large number of ornate but obscure words, the main meaning of which was to praise the merits of His Majesty the Emperor, and the people yawned impatiently.

Finally, the ceremonial officer got to the point and began to read out the contents of the succession, which basically said that His Majesty the Emperor felt that he was old and lacking in energy, so he decided to pass the throne to his 16th prince in advance, hoping that all subjects of the empire would also spare no effort to support the new emperor and serve the prosperity of the empire.

After this long paragraph was finished, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in their chairs, and put their wine glasses up again.

Lao Wu seized the opportunity, jumped out and raised his wine glass to take the lead and shouted: "Cheers to the new emperor!" ”

The guests also raised their glasses and shouted at the top of their voices: "Cheers to the new emperor!" ”

The atmosphere in the store suddenly became lively again, and everyone drank all the wine in the wine glasses, shouting for Lao Wu to serve wine. Lao Wu's face bloomed with joy, and he brought up all kinds of wine that had been prepared a long time ago, and soon everyone's cups were filled with fine wine.

"Strange, why hasn't the new emperor played yet?" At this time, someone asked.

"yes, it should come up, the crown hasn't been handed over yet......"

More and more people noticed this, so all kinds of speculation quarreled again, and Liu Yi also felt strange, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, a message popped up from the interface of Liu Yi's portable computer, which was actually a call request sent by the teacher Yu Wensong.

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Is this from the teacher, or is it a secret police?" What should I do if I'm still a secret police? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yi gritted his teeth and decided to connect, if it was really a secret police, he would ask three questions.

pressed the agree button, the interface switched to the window of the video call, and what appeared in front of Liu Yi was Yuwensong, who had not been able to contact him for several days.

Seeing the teacher's face, Liu Yi was pleasantly surprised, and said excitedly: "Teacher, is it really you?" Is it really you? ”

Yu Wensong on the other side of the video nodded and said, "It's me, that's right." ”

"Teacher, where have you been these days?" Liu Yi asked in a trembling voice.

Yu Wensong didn't answer immediately, but looked left and right, and then asked calmly, "Is it convenient for you to speak now?" Seems to be a little noisy next to it? ”

Liu Yi immediately said, "Teacher, wait a minute, I'll change places!" ”

Hurriedly came to the attic of the tavern, and the surroundings were immediately much quieter, and Liu Yi said to Yu Wensong: "It's okay now, teacher, please speak." ”

I saw that Yu Wensong's face suddenly sank, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Liu Yi, the world is going to be in chaos......
