Not only for one day, but in the next three days, except for Guo Chong, who came to chat with Sun Ning every day, no one else came to the palace.

Sun Ning also inquired with others, but the answer he got was that Guo Yan had come down, and all the officials in Liangzhou were busy with the government affairs at hand, and they couldn't spare time for the time being.

What is a titular puppet son of heaven, now Sun Ning can be regarded as a real comprehension.

And the problem is that he can't even take the initiative to do anything to solve this game, his words can't even be passed on to this palace, and Guo Yan and the others are respectful enough to him, food and clothing or something, they can't find the slightest problem.

Just when Sun Ning gradually became impatient and thought about whether he should personally break into the strictly guarded palace gate and make some noise, on the fifth day, Guo Yan finally brought a group of officials into the palace to ask to see the emperor.

Sun Ning had the intention of letting them eat a closed door to vent their anger, but after all, he was not so naïve, so he met this cadre in the main hall again.

After the usual greetings and ministers, Sun Ning first asked: "Guo Taishou, I want to ask you about something these days, but why don't I see you and your Aiqing enter the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the ministers are really busy with various affairs, so they can't spare time to say hello for a while." Guo Yan hurriedly pretended to plead guilty, "Especially regarding the assassination of His Majesty by the traitor this time, the ministers did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and interrogated and inspected for days. ”

"Oh? So, when you come to see me today, do you have an eyebrow? ”

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case."

As Guo Yan spoke, Jiang Ke, the official in charge of investigating the case in Liangzhou, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there were thirty-two assassins captured alive on the spot, but twenty of them committed suicide soon after because they had been prepared.

"But fortunately, there were still twelve living mouths, and the ministers tortured them severely, but their mouths were extremely hard, and they were tortured for several days, and they did not see these people confide the truth."

"Oh, is there any way to find out who is behind it?" Sun Ning was also interested, and hurriedly asked.

"These assassins are all good at the rivers and lakes, and they seem to come from all over the world, but they actually have one thing in common, that is, they have all committed mistakes in their respective gangs or families before, were expelled, or voluntarily defected from their original gangs."

Sun Ning nodded, expressing understanding, he thought of the terrible ball he saw with his own eyes that day, as well as the word "Tang" engraved on it, and the leg master who was won by Zheng Zhengyin and himself.

Such masters do have quite a background.

Jiang Ke continued: "From this point, Chen finally thought of a gang on the rivers and lakes that has recently risen and is not old, but it is not small, called the Hundred Rebellion Alliance.

"This gang is to absorb the rebellious people who can't be tolerated in other gangs for its own use, so that it can occupy a place among all forces in a short period of time. And I heard that this Hundred Rebel Alliance had taken refuge in the Taishou Liuchuan Zhimen of Lianzhou, Huaibei a few months ago. ”

Sun Ning's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Guo Yan: "You mean, it has been found out that it is the assassin of the Lianzhou Taishou Liuchuan who wants to kill me?" ”

Guo Yan understood, and said again: "Your Majesty Mingjian, after learning of this result, the minister also has many doubts. After all, the Lianzhou Liu family is also full of loyalty, and has made great contributions to the imperial court, and Liu Taishou is a local member of the imperial court like the minister, which really makes people can't believe that he would do such a thing.

"But...... Subsequent evidence points to this. ”

Jiang Ke immediately followed up: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has carefully checked again, although the weapons used by these assassins are ordinary things that can be seen everywhere, the clothes on their bodies, especially the ones that are close to their bodies, are obviously made of the famous Tengma in Lianzhou.

"If it's just one or two people's clothing, it's a coincidence. However, at least half of the Assassins' clothing was of Lianzhou origin, which was a problem.

Also, even the shops they were hiding in at that time, after the ministers and others carefully traced and dug deeply, they all confirmed that those shops were all under the name of a businessman from Lianzhou.

"This can confirm from the side that they are inextricably linked with Lianzhou."

"Your Majesty, there is another thing that the minister only discovered yesterday, that is, a counselor under the minister had fled Liangzhou before the incident. And he is also the one who knows that his ministers want to welcome His Majesty to Liangzhou, and his hometown is also Lianzhou! ”

Guo Yan said with a solemn expression: "Through all these things, the minister can confirm that the mastermind behind those assassins is Lianzhou Taishou Liuchuan Nao.

"This person is really mad, not only has the heart of self-reliance, but even wants to assassinate His Majesty, he really deserves death, and he should destroy his nine clans to warn the world."

As he spoke, he took another step forward, looked directly at Sun Ning and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that to deal with such a kingless, fatherless, lawless monarch and traitor, he should be dealt with with a thunderbolt and decisively eradicated.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to send a decree to the world, so that my Dayue courtiers can raise troops to discuss it. The minister is willing to personally lead my Liangzhou army to Lianzhou, capture such chaotic ministers and thieves, and dedicate them to Your Majesty! ”

came, after doing so much foreshadowing, the other party finally saw the dagger and revealed his true intentions.

is the so-called coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the coercion of the Son of Heaven to please the ministers.

As Guo Yan, who has already held the emperor in his hands, he will naturally come up with all ways to use the name of the Son of Heaven to attack external enemies.

With the emperor's will in hand, he can send troops unscrupulously, and he also holds the name of righteousness, so that the people of the world cannot say that he is invading other people's cities.

After all, until now, the Central Plains and all parts of the south still respect the Dayue court, at least on the surface, they are still Dayue courtiers. At this time, this banner is completely occupied by the moral high ground, which is irresistible.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict so that everyone in the world knows the ambition of the wolf son of Lianzhou Taishou, the unforgivable sin, so that the world can discuss it together!" The others followed suit, and the momentum was truly astonishing.

Sun Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, he felt that he had no sense of existence before, but now it is good, the sense of existence has come all of a sudden.

But this taste still made him very uncomfortable, he only felt that he was a puppet with a thread, and only gave the so-called will according to Guo Yan's will.

"Isn't this exactly what I expected to happen when I arrived?" Sun Ning quickly reminded himself in his heart that now was not the time to be an enemy of the other party, since he was a puppet emperor, he should have such an awareness.

So after a little muttering, he still nodded his head: "Guo Taishou, all Aiqing, get up." You are right, these rebels should raise an army to fight for them, so as to calm the world.

"I will give an order to let the soldiers and horses from all over the country jointly conquer. However, I also hope that Guo Taishou can promise me one thing. ”
