Chapter 44: Where Have All the People Gone?

Master Wang turned his face sideways to look outside, it would be the time to doze off in the afternoon.

It's just been an hour after lunch, and it's still a few hours before dinner, so what do you want to do now?

This little lady didn't even tell them a little face-saving scene, and she was not polite from the inside out.

But now she has the capital to be unkind.

In such a situation, it is no longer important to see Mrs. Liu, everyone knows that it is useless to say more, so they casually said a few kind words, and Master Zheng took the first step to say "farewell", and the others also went out with him.

Looking back at today's play, it shows them a few layers of meaning.

On the surface, it is to tell the old men of these families in Tongcheng that "Aunt Taishou" knows the calculations in their hearts, and they also hold it in their hands, or they can hold the evidence that they want their lives, and more importantly, they can be disposed of at any time through the convenience of Taishou.

But as long as these people are driven by her, everyone will be fine.

If you think about it in the depths and into the distance, in the future, you will be too conservative in the light, and Mrs. Liu will be in the dark, and the things in Tongcheng and the things of these old men will not be able to bypass these two people.

In front of him, it is nothing more than a public test, no matter which of the two is chosen, these people are no longer in charge.

reviewed this trip, and by the way, he also relieved Liu Zhi's siege.

However, in reality, the real purpose of the review is not in the meaning of revealing to them.

The eight or nine people who came, the things on their bodies were serious, and the old men who had nothing to do with Beiyu were at most self-inflicted and subjected to more restraints. The old men who secretly bought real estate, at this time, they just want to keep a fortune, and when the real thing is coming, they can also explain the reason clearly, so as to save their lives.

What I am most afraid of here is the person who really secretly communicates with Beiyu. This is the life that was pinched in the hands of the old man. Once this matter is stabbed, it is absolutely impossible to save life.

Although this shows that the conversation has been made on the surface, after going back, this kind of person must have to act.

They have actions, and they can only respond to the past.

Tongcheng will face the turmoil caused by Xu Jiasanlang next, and before that, clean up the city.

Now it seems that the first step is quite smooth, and he is in a good mood, and he was just about to say to Zhixia that he was going to go out, when he saw Zhou Tong break in.

Zhou Tong is rough, but he can calm down. Although he couldn't see the anxiety on his face, his body movements were different from usual.

Originally, he was asked to go to Qianlong County to invite Li Xun and Jin Xuan, but at this time he came back alone. I'm afraid something happened here.

He didn't say much, and asked directly, "What about Li Xun?" ”

Zhou Tong's expression was dazed, and he said, "Miss! Li Xun is dead. ”

……

Since the Zhaohua Palace issued a new order, the Emperor of Southern Chu simply dismissed the dynasty in order to avoid the hundreds of officials.

At the beginning, the reason was that the dragon's body was not safe, and the emperor had not recovered from the disease for two years, and under this excuse, the hundred officials could not say anything.

But within two days, he was really terminally ill, and he couldn't even say a whole sentence now.

At the beginning, there were still people in the court who were suspicious, but after privately asking the confident imperial doctors and inner palace guards, they didn't get any good answers.

In the inner palace, batches of imperial doctors and decoctions were sent in turns, but there was no effect.

The changes in these two or three days are greater than in the past two or three years.

Even Ling Guangjun looked for a night, walked out of the Zhaohua Hall for the first time, and went to the emperor's bedroom to visit.

Of course, in order not to let people get a glimpse of Ling Guangjun's appearance, the guards of the inner palace sealed the road tightly.

Ling Guangjun, who was dressed in red, walked in the empty inner palace, and it was a little terrifying.

If Feng Xian'er had been by Ling Guangjun's side as before, she would probably be surprised to see that this god of Great Chu had walked unexpectedly briskly at this critical juncture of Great Chu, and even hummed a song in his mouth that he couldn't hear clearly.

I don't know if it's because I haven't been out of the Zhaohua Hall for a long time, and I'm in a good mood when I came out, or because of other unspeakable reasons.

Before Ling Guangjun entered the palace, he didn't even leave anyone on the emperor's side. Except for these two saints, there was no third person in the entire Great Chu who knew what they said that day.

Since the second day, Da Chu, a young emperor who inherited the unification and has been diligent for more than 40 years, has not woken up and said a word.

But there's still a breath in it.

The most urgent issue in front of the hundred officials, the biggest hidden danger of Da Chu, although it has not yet reached the moment where it is about to be decided, is also imminent.

The two princes, who will inherit the throne?

The emperor did not leave a will, and Ling Guangjun did not say a word.

The eldest prince Tang Xianyao sat in Fengzhou, held the military power of a county, and received the support of the fourteen capitals, so he originally wanted to sit firmly in the East Palace.

However, it is generally believed in the court that the second prince Tang Mingyi has the support of Ling Guangjun, and he has been very popular with the emperor over the years, and it is also a well-known secret that the Dingyi army, one of the best in the Zuo Cheng Song Yu and the Great Chu army, fell to him. What's more, the forbidden army is also in the hands of the second prince.

Although the two are not evenly matched, there is also the possibility of a competition.

However, on that day, the second prince Tang Mingyi returned to Lianzhou overnight, and went out of the city overnight, and has not been known since then. Although he received the edict of Ling Guangjun, he had not returned to Lianzhou at this moment, but the hundred officials couldn't figure it out.

What the officials didn't expect was that the eldest prince Tang Xianyao also lost his trace in the Fengzhou army.

According to the news from the Fengzhou army, the eldest prince left Fengzhou urgently in the middle of the night, and originally thought that he was going to Lianzhou.

But now it seems that he has not appeared in Lianzhou. After the Fengzhou army searched along the way, they found that the eldest prince had changed course halfway and did not go in the direction of Lianzhou, but towards Dingyi.

At this critical juncture, the eldest prince only took his cronies to the second prince's territory, as if he was in danger alone, which was incredible.

Naturally, there is more than Dingyi in this direction, but it is impossible to make a detour to Tongcheng, a small border city in the northwest of Dingyi, right?

When Da Chu was in danger, the three most relevant characters, one was lying there speechless, and the other two, the hundred officials didn't know where to talk to them.

And Da Chu has not been established since the death of the queen, and all the affairs of the harem are in charge of Feng Xian'er, the right minister of the concubine.

Zhaoyue Palace, where Feng Xian'er lived, was originally supposed to be the most lively place in Lianzhou City. At this time, the palace door was also closed and no outsiders were seen.

A few days ago, it was also involved in the dispute between the princes, and a few people were killed every day. At the critical moment, they all avoided it.

If it weren't for the fact that Song Yu was still in charge of the court, maybe someone would have opened the city on the spot and parachuted the Beiyu vanguard army more than a thousand miles away.

At this time, Feng Xian'er in the Zhaoyue Palace looked at the red-faced maid in front of her with wide eyes, and exclaimed in a suppressed voice.

"You say, he wasn't castrated?!"
