Chapter 105: Gathering of Storms (4)

Ye Shuang didn't seem to know anything about the danger just now, and only felt a splitting headache, wishing to die immediately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the strange bird was still injecting her bloodthirsty impulses, and she showed her little tiger teeth again.

"Shuang'er!" Prince Wen Ye Zhong stared at the girl in front of him, his heart aching. Suddenly, he grabbed Ye Shuang's hand and stared at Ye Shuang's blood-colored eyes.

Ye Shuang looked at Prince Wen who appeared in front of her, and the bloodthirsty impulse was about to explode again, when suddenly her body shook, and she only felt that an extremely cool stream flowed into her mind. This stream continued to moisturize and heal the torn nerves. In an instant, she felt extremely comfortable, and the nightmare receded, followed by an irresistible sleepiness, and the next moment she fell asleep on the spot.

Prince Wen helped Ye Shuang, who had fallen asleep, and his gaze stayed on the Praetorian Guard general in front of him for a moment, before he said to the Bright Emperor who had already sat upright on the dragon chair again:

"The minister's incompetence has frightened His Majesty!"

"It's okay," the Bright Emperor's expression was quite calm, and he didn't seem surprised by this matter, he suddenly said to the young Praetorian Guard general: "Captain Xiaoqi, you can take the Wind and Frost Princess down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the young Praetorian Guard general immediately ordered.

Ye was shocked, could it be that the Emperor of Light wanted to order the Praetorian Guards to dispose of Ye Shuang? Vainly trying to kill the monarch was a capital crime. He handed Ye Shuang into Dai Chen's hands, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to forgive the princess for her offense!"

Looking at Ye Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, Guo Zizhong and Dai Chen both showed complicated and incomprehensible looks.

The Bright Emperor was also stunned, but he quickly understood, and laughed: "The emperor's brother is too worried, I don't mean to blame the princess, haven't you recognized our young and promising general of the cavalry battalion?"

Ye Zhong once again stared at the young Praetorian Guard general, the other party was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and a high nose, quite heroic. Most of the Praetorian Guards come from martial families, and there are many of their cronies in the Praetorian Guards today, but the Praetorian Guard general in front of him, he is sure that he doesn't know him, is it ----?

"Your Excellency doesn't have to guess, this is the dog Guo Wu. Guo Zizhong suddenly laughed on the side.

"It turned out to be Guo Wuxian's nephew, what a young general, he is really a tiger father without a dog!" Ye Chong was slightly stunned, and then laughed as well. However, his heart was tight, and it was clear that Guo Wu's position as the commander of the cavalry was announced at the time of the Great Court Meeting, but now Guo Wu was on duty in the palace. According to the information he received, Guo Wu would not be able to arrive at the imperial capital until the early hours of this morning at the earliest.

Does this mean that this past night, Guo's father and son had already cleaned the palace overnight and completed the deployment? If all of Guo Zizhong's 800 personal guards entered the palace, with the elite combat power of these wolf cavalry old troops, whether they were calculated or not, and with the support of the emperor, it would not be difficult to control the original guards. No wonder those eyeliners in the palace haven't even heard the slightest news, and I don't know how much power I have left in the palace. Ye Zhong recalled that those guards above the Great Dynasty Meeting were indeed more eye-catching, and it turned out that this was the reason!

At this moment, it was almost impossible for Ye Zhongzhong to contain the killing intent towards the Guo family and his son. Treating this former best friend, I almost forgot that I can't guess with common sense!

Suddenly, a sense of vigilance rose in Ye Zhongzhong, all kinds of things today must have been arranged in advance. Could it be that the Emperor had a complete insight into his plans?

At today's court meeting, the emperor first issued an edict on his own crimes, and then imprisoned Luo Jin, a traitor known to everyone in the empire, to retreat into advance, so that the emperor could regain his position as a holy monarch. This hand almost completely sealed the moral advantage of Ye Chong's intention to "clear the monarch's side".

Subsequently, the emperor rewarded him again, whether it was Ye Shuang, Guo Zizhong, or even Ye Chong himself, his reward was beyond everyone's expectations. Ye Chong had to admit that Ye Shuang's appearance did disturb his state of mind, and Guo Zizhong's sudden appointment as the governor of the Central Army caught him off guard. Soon after, however, the Emperor appointed him Minister of State, which now appears to be merely a smoke to cover his means.

As for the canonization of the crown prince, the emperor obviously intends to press forward step by step and strike later. After ten years of hiding, this mediocre lord actually had such extraordinary means before he died, and under the overlapping mountains, people actually felt at a loss. However, Ye Zhong saw very clearly that the emperor's purpose was nothing more than two points:

First, he wanted to clear the obstacles for his son before he died, and he succeeded to the throne smoothly; and the second point seems a little ridiculous, but it is not difficult to understand that for the supreme emperor, power and wealth are just a joke for him, the so-called dying man is also good, the emperor began to think about his "posthumous name", this emperor who has been laughed at for ten years obviously does not want to leave a mediocre reputation in the history books.

Ye Zhong breathed a sigh of relief slightly, it seems that there will not be a scene of hand-to-hand combat today. Since the emperor wants to be a Ming monarch, he can't be so stupid as to kill meritorious officials immediately. Moreover, Ye Zhong believed that although he had lost control of the palace, the emperor was also not sure that he would be able to kill him in the palace. Because even with the help of Guo's father and son, the emperor wanted to completely eliminate his arrangement in the palace, which was definitely not something that could be done overnight.

More importantly, the urgent letter from the north completely shattered the possibility of this conflict. This urgent letter obviously came as a surprise to everyone, including the emperor. In the face of the extremely powerful orcs, the survival of the dynasty at this moment overrode the internal power struggle. After all, whether it is the emperor or Ye Chong, the battle for the throne is just a means. As the Ye royal family, no matter who ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the first thing to consider is how to continue the eight-hundred-year-old foundation of light.

Guo Zizhong looked at Ye Zhong with a smile on his face, and he was relieved in his heart, just at that moment, the emperor gave him a look, and he had the urge to do it. It's just that Guo Zizhong shook his head and refused.

Guo Zizhong sighed secretly, it seems that Ye Shuang, who is between him and Ye Chong, is a thorn in the emperor's heart after all! But Guo Zizhong didn't expect Ye Chong to attach so much importance to Ye Shuang, and even knelt down to beg the emperor for Ye Shuang's crime of killing the king.

However, these are not the reasons for Guo Zizhong to refuse the emperor, the real reason is that Guo Zizhong is not sure to restrain Ye Chong, just at that moment, he obviously felt a familiar spiritual fluctuation, looking at Ye Shuang who fell asleep, Guo Zizhong was ninety percent sure that Ye Chong was the one who cast spiritual spells at the Great Imperial Meeting. Until the purges within the palace are completely completed, any impulsive actions will only drag the dynasty into the abyss of collapse.

What's more, compared to the inheritance of the throne, the orcs in the north are obviously a greater threat, and everything should be based on the country and the human race. Even if the emperor has a misunderstanding, he will not hesitate!
