At this time, the assassin who suddenly broke into the honor guard of the Son of Heaven and shot arrows at the Emperor's Imperial Chariot had also been taken down.

However, after the assassin was taken down, he vomited blood directly from his mouth, and died not long after, apparently preparing a highly poisonous medicine in his mouth in advance.

"It must be a dead soldier raised by the people behind the scenes, and he suddenly broke into His Majesty's honor guard, in fact, it was not to assassinate His Majesty, because they knew that they could not assassinate His Majesty at all, and the reason why he came to break in was just to pass on this letter, so as to threaten His Majesty to kill his ministers."

Zhang Gui was surprisingly calm at this time, and analyzed the apocalypse.

Apocalypse clenched the paper ball in his hand tightly and didn't say much.

His own son was threatened as a hostage, and the condition for blackmailing him was that he would kill his most dependent relative Zhang Gui.

Apocalypse knows that no matter what choice he makes now, he will lose.

So, he doesn't want to say anything now, and he doesn't know how to say it.

It didn't take long for the royal driver to quickly return to the palace.

At this time, outside the West Garden of the palace, there were already many courtiers waiting here.

Wei Zhongxian is also here.

And as soon as Wei Zhongxian saw the apocalypse coming back, he hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty! The queen mother said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not seen him! The slave is being searched around, and I haven't heard from it yet! ”

Tianqi didn't even feel in the mood to blame Wei Zhongxian now, and only asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Specifically, the slave and maid are not very clear, and everything has to be asked by the queen mother." ”

"Walking on the Stars"

At this time, Han Yi came over and handed a few unveiling posts to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty, this is the unveiling post found by the courtiers on the beams and pillars of the thousand-step corridor, and it is written that if you want the crown prince to live, you must punish the words of the uncle of the country!" ”

Apocalypse hurriedly took the post and glanced at it, and his face became even more ugly for a while.

Zhang Gui couldn't help but say at this time: "It seems that the minister has really offended them deeply." ”

"Then they can't threaten you with my son!"

Apocalypse shouted in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be in a desperate situation, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the capital of the country, so please ask Your Majesty to put the overall situation first and issue an order to kill the uncle of the country, right?! ”

The second assistant Zhu Guozuo spoke first.

Then, Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, also followed: "Your Majesty, now it seems that you can only exchange the life of your uncle for the life of the prince!" ”

Even Sun Chengzong had to say at this time: "Your Majesty, although Uncle Guo has meritorious service to Sheji, it is indeed more important than the national capital, so now it seems that Uncle Guo has to be killed!" ”

Qian Longxi stood up even more excitedly and said: "Please Your Majesty kill Uncle Guo to save the country!" ”

"Please Your Majesty kill Uncle Guo to save the country!"

"Please Your Majesty kill Uncle Guo to save the country!"

……

For a while, many civil officials who were usually dissatisfied with Zhang Gui stood up one after another, and in the name of protecting the country, they demanded that the apocalypse kill Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui had to admit that the trick played by these people was indeed clever, and it could be regarded as pinching the sore spot of the apocalypse.

As an emperor who attaches great importance to family affection, and is also the eldest son of his own son, it is difficult for Tianqi not to agree.

But Tianqi is not a stupid person, he knows what the consequences of killing Zhang Gui are.

The killing of Zhang Gui undoubtedly means that no one will dare to support him to continue to implement the new policy, and even in the future, the new emperor will only be controlled by civil officials.

Apocalypse suppressed his anger because of this, and asked with a sneer: "You guys just want Zhang Qing to die?" ”

"Your Majesty! Because Uncle Zhang Guo ruined their financial route, they wished that Uncle Zhang Guo would die! ”

Chen Zizhuang stood up at this time and said coldly.

"What Your Majesty said is that they are doing this, and in the eyes of the ministers, the masterminds behind the scenes who want to force Your Majesty to kill Uncle Zhang Guo in such a despicable way must be among these people!"

Feng Quan also stood up at this time and said a word for Zhang Gui.

At this time, Qian Longxi said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are also for the country, for the sake of the Ming Society!" Your Majesty said this, you really wronged the ministers, even if the ministers are not in harmony with Uncle Zhang, they will not use such means, please Your Majesty is clear! ”

Tianqi then looked at Sun Chengzong: "Sir, what do you think of it too?" ”

Sun Chengzong glanced at Zhang Gui first, and then said: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not bully the king, but the country is indeed more important!" ”

As he spoke, Sun Chengzong walked towards Zhang Gui and arched his hand: "Uncle Guo, I hope to be considerate of me and others, and I believe that Uncle Guo is a person who is loyal to the country, and he must not resent His Majesty and the ministers because of this, right?" ”

Zhang Guitang smiled: "No resentment!" ”

"Uncle Guo is a person who knows the general situation!"

Sun Chengzong replied.

Then, Qian Longxi couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Uncle Guo has said so, please give your Majesty an order." ”

"Please give an order to kill Uncle Guo!"

"Please give an order to kill Uncle Guo!"

……

Many civil servants continued to shout as a result.

Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui: "Are we really going to lose because of this?" ”

Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, let's take a look after entering the palace, the minister thinks that things shouldn't be so simple." ”

Apocalypse nodded: "Advanced Palace!" ”

"Your Majesty! The more the crown prince is in the hands of the traitor, the more dangerous it will be! How can you be so hesitant! ”

Qian Longxi shouted excitedly at this time, and said to Sun Chengzong: "Pavilion Elder, as an emperor, don't you advise Your Majesty to make a quick decision?" ”

Zhang Gui couldn't help but ask Qian Longxi at this time: "You just want Your Majesty to order to kill Ben Hou as soon as possible?" ”

Qian Long Xiyi said righteously: "It's not Qian who wants to kill the uncle of the country, but the traitor who wants to kill the uncle of the country!" Uncle Guo is a person who understands the general situation, and he should understand that Qian said this today for justice, not for personal enmity! ”

Zhang Guidao: "Then there is no need to be in such a hurry. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui glanced at Guang Shiheng in the corner again.

Guang Shiheng has been staying behind, not glancing, but his eyes have been dripping and spinning.

And Zhang Gui continued to say to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty, it is still in the palace, and the minister has to confirm whether the crown prince is really gone, and the minister is willing to die for it!" ”

"But didn't you hear what Wei Zhongxian said just now, what your sister said, the crown prince is gone."

Apocalypse replied.

Zhang Guidao: "The crown prince may be playing around, but the mother didn't see it, and mistakenly thought that the crown prince didn't see it, but Wei Zhongxian made a fuss, and then the people outside made waves, so it's like this, it's not certain." ”

Seeing this, the apocalypse said, "That's it! I will promise you. ”

Not long after, Tianqi and Zhang Gui came to Queen Zhang Yan.

As soon as the apocalypse came, he asked, "What about the emperor?" I really don't see you?! ”

As soon as Empress Zhang Yan saw the apocalypse coming, she said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The concubine deceived Father-in-law Wei, and deliberately released false news to Father-in-law Wei, which made this matter so big, and the emperor has been there. ”

Zhang Yan called as she spoke: "Fengyi, bring the prince over!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Zhang Fengyi appeared in front of the apocalypse with the crown prince.

Apocalypse rushed over and hugged the crown prince directly: "My son! ”

Then, Apocalypse smiled like a lost one.

Immediately, the apocalypse found that in the corner, there was a eunuch wearing a three-mountain hat tied to the ground.

Apocalypse recognized the eunuch.

"Wang Dehua! He is a royal horse eunuch, why did he appear here? ”
