Chapter 396: Stormy Waves

In the past few days, Wei Qing or Gu Beichuan have all stayed in the Gu Mansion, and the door is closed.

Why?

Because the monk is in the Gu Mansion!

Gu Beichuan didn't know how strong the monk was, but according to his guess, it shouldn't be weaker than Pei Burang.

No matter what the purpose of the people behind the scenes is, on the premise that they have already provoked Shang Pei, they will not want to provoke the monk again.

Time passed day by day, the palace gate was still closed, whether it was the crown prince or Emperor Renxuan, there was no news.

Wei Qing's mood was visibly impatient.

Gu Beichuan was also irritable in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Compared to the beginning, they are in a much better situation now.

With the monks present, at least there is no problem with their safety.

Once the situation is not right, they can also immediately leave Qiandu and return to Huainan.

However, it was not only they who were worried and irritable, but the entire Qiandu, from the noble officials to the common people at dawn, were all panicked.

After all, in the past few days, in addition to the closed palace gates, there have been assassins attacking and harassing inside and outside the city from time to time.

It has even been revealed one after another, and many important officials of the big cadres have died unexpectedly and died violently at home!

And the Imperial City Division, as the eyes and ears of the palace, when the palace gate is closed, they are like a flock of sheep that have lost their heads, and they have no leader for a while.

There was no other way than to send men to defend against the Assassins.

Lin Fu tried, wanting to find out the origin of this group of assassins.

But he was surprised to find that he couldn't find out!

As the No. 1 intelligence organization of the Great Cadres, it stands to reason that the Imperial City Division cannot fail to find out.

The reason why I can't find out is that someone is completely obstructing it!

As long as he starts to check, he will face a lot of resistance.

So after a simple attempt, Lin Fu gave up, because he found that it was very likely that the Imperial City Division was also infiltrated by the other party!

If you continue to investigate, you will definitely die!

However, just when everyone was panicking.

The palace gate, which has been closed for a long time, is open!

And there was news in the palace that three days later, a court meeting would be held!

……

Three days, as promised!

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into the Qiande Palace, the civil and military officials were already waiting on both sides.

Everyone frowned and fell silent.

They are waiting, waiting for a result!

Whether it is a nobleman, a family party, or a Qingliu party.

At this moment, they all gave up the infighting, because this result will greatly affect the pattern of the entire Great Qian's court!

Among all of them, Tai Lieutenant Zhang Lang had the lowest pressure on his head, and his expression was particularly flustered.

Because among these people, he is the most unconfident.

Although his name is Taiwei, after all, he is a eunuch and cannot hold real power.

So most of the power is concentrated on Emperor Renxuan.

Once something really happens to Emperor Renxuan, everything he has will be beaten back to its original shape, and there will be nothing left in the blink of an eye.

"Ascension!" Zheng Ying walked in, slowly stood still beside the dragon chair, and shouted the exact same words as before.

Only this time, he was obviously much haggard, his eyebrows were full of exhaustion, and he was able to shout such a sentence, and he seemed a little powerless.

Gu Beichuan in the crowd below glanced at him and frowned slightly.

In the news he received, it was this one who took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away three days ago, but to this day, the Prince is still nowhere to be found!

If this news is true, then Zheng Ying and the disappearance of the crown prince must be inextricably linked!

Gu Beichuan made up his mind and remained silent, ready to wait until he saw the movements of the imperial court before making plans.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"

Zheng Ying's tired voice came one after another, and the civil and military officials slowly raised their heads to look at the empty dragon chair.

"I've got a book to play! Why are the palace gates closed these days, and is something going on? What is the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty? Tai Lieutenant Zhang Lang was the first to hold back, stood up, and asked like a cannon.

This question also asked the doubts of all the courtiers.

At this moment, whether it was the military attache group headed by Wei Ziyang, the family party headed by Taifu Yang Huai, and even Wei Qing, they all pricked up their ears and wanted to find out, after all, this news was too important!

Faced with Tai Lieutenant Zhang Lang's question, Zheng Ying did not answer, but his expression became more tired.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke: "I can't answer your question, so let's ask His Royal Highness King Yuan to answer one or two for you." ”

King Yuan?

Gu Beichuan's heart froze, and he sensed that something was wrong.

Since the palace gate was closed, King Yuan was locked outside the palace gate courtyard wall like them, how could he know the situation of the crown prince and the emperor?

And others don't know the details of King Yuan, can Gu Beichuan not know?

On the surface, this person seems to be the prince who is charging for Daqian, but secretly he has already colluded with Daqian's sworn enemy Beiyan!

Even when the palace gate was closed, it was a miracle that the army was mobilized to block the city gates in all directions, and there was no rebellion.

What confusion can he solve for civil and military officials?

Also, in this matter, Zheng Ying stayed in the palace from beginning to end!

is undoubtedly the one who knows the whole story of the matter, at least better than everyone here, he can completely answer the doubts of the hundred officials by himself, why do you have to push the matter to King Yuan?

The situation in the court of the Great Qian's court became more and more treacherous and unpredictable, and Gu Beichuan's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

As soon as Zheng Ying's words fell, King Yuan, whose face was sad, walked in from outside the hall.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials chuckled in their hearts, feeling bad.

Because the king of Yuan came with armor and weapons!

What does that mean? Could it be that he wants to rise to power by force?

Yes, now that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are missing, the army in the Qiandu has no tiger talismans, and it is difficult to mobilize them for a while.

The only thing that can be mobilized is only a few armies under the command of King Yuan!

If he really wants to do something, I'm afraid no one can stop him!

However, King Yuan did not show a posture of forcing the palace as the courtiers thought, but knelt down in front of the dragon chair, grief-stricken, and cried!

When the civil and military officials saw King Yuan's posture, their hearts chuckled again, and an ominous premonition came to their hearts.

In the past, it was Emperor Renxuan who sat on this dragon chair!

The supreme master of Daqian, the honor of the Ninety-Five!

And what is the identity of King Yuan?

The Great Prince!

It is undoubtedly unceremonious for him to kneel down and cry in front of the dragon chair as the prince of Daqian, let alone in front of the civil and military officials, isn't this a loss of royal face in vain?

Unless!

A terrifying thought surged in the hearts of the civil and military officials!

It's just that the idea is so appalling that they can't believe it for a while.

However, in the next moment, King Yuan's actions confirmed their thoughts.

I saw him say in an extremely sad tone: "Father, I'm dead!" ”
