Chapter 906: The Situation Is Strange
"It's not going to go on like this!"
Lei Dong walked around the room, his expression serious and his brows furrowed. Although there is no major problem in the palace, once the capital is completely in chaos, it may not be possible to recover it overnight. Not to mention the ascension of the new lord, the chaos in the capital will shroud the situation in the world with a layer of haze, and then the world will be like a powder keg that is about to explode, and there will be the possibility of explosion.
"It has to be pressed down, and at any cost." The light in Lei Dong's eyes skyrocketed, his heart froze, and he suddenly made a decision.
As soon as Lei Dong made a decision, he was ready to implement it. Suddenly, an iron-clad catcher hurriedly ran in from outside the door, and came to Lei Dong's side to report: "My lord, someone is coming from the palace. ”
Lei Dong's expression moved, and he hurriedly said, "Please." At the same time, he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?" ”
"I'm sure it's from the palace, and it's also from Ganquan Palace, and my subordinates and others have seen it." The iron-clad catcher is Lei Dong's henchman, and he swears at this time, which makes Lei Dong's heart suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that Lei Dong is afraid of death, but once the enemy executes the decapitation tactics in this situation, then the situation in the capital is truly uncontrollable. Even so, Lei Dong still called Han Kuang, Chu Wanfeng and the others in, and secretly mobilized some masters on his side.
In this way, one is to let everyone listen to the will of the palace and show that they have not avoided everyone. On the other hand, for the sake of safety, any easy negligence can now cause an irreparable situation.
From this point of view, Lei Dong has learned Qin Yun's cautious character to a full extent, and he will not take risks easily unless he has to.
No wonder some people call Lei Dong the shadow of Qin Yun!
After a while, Han Kuang, Chu Wanfeng and the others had just entered the front foot, and before they had time to greet each other, the envoy in the back foot palace had already arrived. The person who came was not polite, glanced at Lei Dong and the others, swept away the dust, took out a booklet from his sleeve, raised his hands high, and screamed: "There is an edict." ”
Lei Dong, Han Kuang, Chu Wanfeng and the others glanced at each other, and the light in their eyes skyrocketed, and they seemed to hesitate. After all, there are too many rumors in the capital now, all of which are caused by the emperor's non-appearance. Now that an edict suddenly came, it was no wonder that Lei Dong and the others hesitated.
But in the end, Lei Dong and the others still knelt down half-kneeling to show their orders.
The envoy was actually a little nervous in his heart, after all, he was not an important person in the palace originally, and he didn't even think about the good things of going out to deliver the decree. Coupled with the current situation, don't look at his arrogant appearance, it is actually a cover-up, in fact, he is more nervous than anyone else in his heart.
When he saw Lei Dong and the others kneeling, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. I didn't dare to take it big at the moment, and immediately said the content of the edict: "...... The six gates shrank up and down, guarding the yamen, and they were not allowed to move without an edict......"
The more Lei Dong listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, when was the time when it was time for Thunder to suppress all lawlessness and deter the Quartet. Why do you still let the six doors shrink their hands up and down and close the courtyard, isn't this allowing the situation outside to get out of control?
As soon as the envoy's words fell, Lei Dong had already looked over with bright eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "Which highness's edict is this?" Subordinates and others did not dare to follow orders easily. ”
"Bold!" The envoy was stunned in his heart and scolded loudly. "This is His Majesty's handwritten letter, and it is His Majesty's handwritten edict, do you dare to resist the decree?" Perhaps because of the tension, Chin made his originally sharp voice appear sharper and trembling.
Seeing the envoy like this, Lei Dong became more and more puzzled in his heart. He stood up straight, looked at the envoy with blazing eyes, and said, "Your Majesty is the Ming Monarch, and now that the capital is about to fall into chaos, how can you issue such an absurd will." Who are you? On the orders of whom, he dared to falsely preach the holy decree, and was he not afraid of the nine clans? ”
When it came to the end, Lei Dong was already scolding him sharply, and he didn't look like a future envoy at all.
This is the result of private power and sudden promotion to high positions, with respect for imperial power and more loyalty to their respective lords. Not only the gate valves, but even most of the forces under Qin Yun's command were like this, and they were far more loyal to Qin Yun than to Great Xia.
If Lei Dong had been promoted step by step through orthodox channels, it would have taken more than ten years or even decades to get promoted, even if he knew that there was something wrong with this envoy, he would not dare to reprimand him so loudly, and he would not even dare to raise doubts, so he would only promise.
This is the power of orthodoxy and righteousness!
It's a pity that Qin Yun rose too fast, and the promotion of everyone under his command was not slow, and they all relied on Qin Yun's promotion, and they didn't have so much awe for the imperial power for a long time. The water chestnut on his body was not worn away, and he was more subservient to Qin Yun.
Han Kuang and Chu Wanfeng, who were behind Lei Dong, glanced at each other, and were a little dissatisfied with Lei Dong's behavior, after all, they had always lived in the place where the imperial power was at its peak. However, Qin Yun handed over the power to Lei Dong when he left, they were just assisting, and the matter was indeed a little strange, so it was not easy to say anything at the moment, just looked at the envoy and waited for an answer.
"You...... You...... Daring! The envoy's voice became sharper and sharper, obviously annoyed by Lei Dong's actions. Even if he is not valued in the palace, he is still the emperor's domestic slave! Where is the turn of outsiders to be so presumptuous.
"This is His Majesty the Emperor's edict, with His Majesty's personal seal, you wait......" The envoy's words were not finished, and the edict in his hand had been snatched away by Lei Dong, and he watched it carefully.
"Two adults will come and have a look, too." Lei Dong greeted Han Kuang and Chu Wanfeng. They are still proficient in these aspects, and it is the first time that Lei Dong has seen the edict.
The envoy was annoyed by Lei Dong's presumptuous actions, and gasped for breath on the side, looking at Lei Dong's eyes full of viciousness.
"How?"
Lei Dong saw that Han Kuang and Chu Wanfeng had not spoken for a long time, so he suddenly became a little anxious and hurriedly asked.
Han Kuang and Chu Wanfeng glanced at each other, their eyes revealing a strange light, and said to Lei Dong: "Lord Lei...... The edict is true. ”
"What?" Lei Dong said in disbelief.
Han Kuang and Chu Wanfeng seemed to be finally sure, and Han Kuang opened his mouth and said: "It is indeed true, not only the handwriting on it is the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor, but the seal is also true. Moreover, Master Chu and I have carefully identified it, the handwriting should be new, and the paper format is not wrong, it should be the edict of His Majesty the Emperor. It's just ......"
Speaking of which, Han Kuang was also a little confused, obviously a little confused about the content of the edict.
