"His Royal Highness the Prince, I searched all over the palace, but we didn't find any trace of You Tianming, we patrolled the bloodstains, but we chased after a pond, and we didn't find any traces."

After three incense sticks, Wang Zhi trotted in from the Taihe Palace, looking anxious and uneasy, if he was allowed to escape today, all of them would be liquidated.

The prince's face turned even paler when he heard this, and if you look closely at his forehead, you will find that several beads of sweat have appeared, and the hand in the sleeve behind his back has been shaking.

"In addition to the city defense, divide the 30,000 Lin Wei into two, one part in the palace and one in the capital, if there is any trace of going out of the city, with my token, You Tianming is very likely to flee to the north, rush to the military camp in advance, and control all his henchmen in the northern army to prevent mutiny."

Wang directly passed the token and hurriedly ran out of the hall.

"Yuyan, how long will it take for my uncle's soldiers and horses to arrive?"

The prince asked in a deep voice towards Yu Yan behind him.

"About three days, the Nanzhong Army arrived in the capital one day earlier than His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Hearing this, Prince Nanxu stretched his frowning brows a little, pondered for a moment in a blink of an eye, and then said in a straight voice:

"Keep an eye on the second prince and his henchmen, and report me in time if there is anything unusual."

Yu Yan nodded solemnly when she heard this, and after she left, the prince paced back and forth in the empty hall thoughtfully, so as not to miss anything.

After a moment, he rubbed the corners of his tired eyes and walked out of the hall door quickly, he still had an important thing to do in his heart.

Thinking about it, he walked towards the Taiji Palace, where his father's body was still stored, and the whole country was buried in the imperial mausoleum a month later.

……

Tai Chi Temple

The prince got off the sedan chair at the gate of the Taiji Hall with a plain palace, and the civil and military officials and harem concubines knelt all over the hall.

The queen was at the front, followed by Ning Guifei and the second prince Nanyu, and the crown prince also found his place and knelt up.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems to be very busy."

At this moment, the second prince on the side quietly teased him, and the prince gave him a blank look, and replied:

"My father is gone, as the prince of Nanzhao, I should guard this country for my father, and you can rest well in the future, second brother."

The second prince heard the meaning of his words, and laughed:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it too early."

The officials kneeling behind them all had their own thoughts, once a son of heaven and a courtier. Those neutral officials are like no more floating, and choosing the wrong master means that there is no future and no life.

At this moment, a maid walked into the hall and whispered in the prince's ear.

When the prince heard the maid's report, he walked out of the palace, and at this time, a deputy commander of Yulinwei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed back.

"Your Highness, You Tianming is very likely to have escaped from the palace, an hour ago, the guards of Chengyang Gate came that there was only one carriage of the Heavenly Supervisor Division, and it walked out of the palace gate, and there was no search..."

"Who is it?"

"Shen Yang, deputy director of the Heavenly Supervision Division."

Facing the prince's red eyes, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly anymore and said softly.

"Waste, send more people and horses to chase me, if you lose it, you don't have to come back."

After the deputy commander responded tremblingly, he left in a hurry.

……

Chengyang Gate

It is one of the side gates of the six gates of the north gate of Shangjing City, and Shangjing City is the Kyoto of Nanzhao, with a permanent population of two or three million people, and an inch of land and an inch of gold.

At this time, the six gates were deserted as usual, Yu Linwei and the city gate division jointly guarded the city gate, and everyone who went out of the city gate was strictly checked.

Chengyang Gate is thirty miles away at the intersection of the official road.

"Commander Wang, this..."

After You Tianming was seriously injured and disappeared into the palace inexplicably, Wang Zhi thought that he had the best chance of escaping from the city.

He immediately led the three thousand forest guards to follow the news of the guards of the city gate division, and chased them all the way here, and as a result, at this intersection, there were three more tracks of the same carriage wheels, and the depth and wheel pattern were the same.

"I will take 500 people to chase the road on the left, Qi Yu, you will take 1,000 people to chase the right road, and the rest will follow Wu Cheng to chase the official road, if necessary, the local government can secretly assist."

Wang Zhi looked at the three-day road in front of him, the official road and the road on the right led to Jizhou, that is, the garrison of the Northern Army, and the road on the left led to Xiliangguan in Liangzhou.

Wang Zhi thought that if You Tianming really wanted to escape, the most likely thing was to go to Xiliangguan, because the prince had already rushed 800 miles to Jizhou by land and water, and secretly issued a death order, so that local officials in various states could lay a net.

And the passage in Liangzhou is much looser, the place is remote, and the power controlled by the imperial court is limited, which is You Tianming's best choice at present.

But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect You Tianming to be still in the capital at this time.

"Up, up, beat him."

At this time, the martial arts arena on the first floor of the Thousand Layer Pavilion was still crowded, and the game on the field was nearing the end.

No one would have thought that under the thick clear gray stone bricks on the martial arts arena, You Tianming was hiding here at this time.

At this time, You Tianming was already covered in blood and unconscious, You Qingyun held back his anger, and his trembling hands gently cleaned his wound that was about to scab.

"Dad, don't worry, my mother and brother have arrived safely in Xiliangguan."

You Qingyun was shocked by You Tianming's internal injuries in his heart, and there was an extremely strong cold qi rushing in his strange muscles and eight veins, sealing the internal force in his body, and his vitality was constantly draining.

If it weren't for You Qingyun's Vientiane Decisive Special, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to lose his internal force into his veins, and he spent nearly eighty percent of his internal strength and fed a Nine Turns Pill, which only temporarily stabilized his heart.

The internal strength of the nine-rank powerhouse is not something that people below the nine-rank can easily do, he wiped a layer of sweat on his forehead.

……

Yufu

The You Mansion, which used to be like a city, now has a thick desolation, and the cool breeze occasionally blows a few dead leaves, and the door is full of birds, except for a few birds resting on the dead branches, no one dares to approach the door within three meters.

At this time, there was a tall figure a few hundred meters away, and he was rushing to the door of the mansion in a panic.

"Oh, young man, how are you walking, you're about to break my old arms and legs."

This person was the iron stone who hurried to hear about the great change in Youfu, but he didn't expect that as soon as he crossed the intersection on the left, he knocked down a sixty-year-old man.

When Tie Shi just picked up the old man and was about to continue walking towards Youfu, the old man grabbed him tightly, and he couldn't break free from the shackles of his hands for a while.

"Young man, why do you want to leave after hitting someone!"

Tie Shi anxiously bowed his head and apologized, wanting to end the matter as soon as possible, but he didn't expect the old man to whisper next:

"Qingyun Gongzi is very safe, go quickly, someone is watching here, and he will look for you when the time is right."

"Don't look around, help me to the hospital."

In the few moments when Tie Shi and the old man squatted down, they had already completed language and eye contact. Iron Stone's eyes skimmed slightly, and there were a few spies not far away who seemed to notice it, and then hid it again.

Yuan Mansion

"Dad, where's Uncle You? What happened in the palace, now the entire Shangjing City is strictly investigating and arresting. ”

Yuan Xingyu knew that You Qingyun and his family had fled from Shangjing, but he didn't know the news after You Tianming entered the palace, and even more unexpectedly, You Qingyun didn't go out of Shangjing at this time.

"Stay in the mansion honestly, so that you won't drag Qingyun down, now that the court is in chaos, your Uncle You has escaped from the palace, rest assured."

The reason why Yuan Chongxing was able to come out of the palace safely was because the crown prince had not yet ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the court, otherwise he would not be able to escape.

Then he can hide from eleven but can't hide from fifteen, once the prince stabilizes the court and ascends the throne as the emperor, the first person to die is him, the secretary of the criminal department, and uses him as a bargaining chip to force You Tianming out.

At this time, Yuan Chongxing sat on the chair with a solemn face, thinking about how to survive this crisis.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and now the only one who can compete with the crown prince in the court is the second prince Nanyu.

……

Two days later

East Palace

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, the 20th Army led by General Yuanwu Feng has arrived in the city, and the overall situation has been decided."

Qin Fu was in the East Palace at this time, and put the yellow dragon robe sent on the prince little by little.

"Hahaha..."

"Lord Qin, open the city gate to welcome my uncle in, this morning, this palace wants to see who still disobeys this palace."

The prince's tense and suppressed rumors for many days instantly dispersed, and now that his uncle's soldiers and horses have arrived, if anyone dares to hinder his ascension to the throne again, he will be killed.

"Order, let the queen mother block the harem and take down Concubine Ning, my second brother will definitely appear."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the prince heard Qin Fude's name, he laughed out loud as if he was enjoying it, but at the end of the laugh he shed tears.

Seeing this, Qin Fu wanted to step forward to ask why, but the prince waved his sleeves to signal him to retreat.

"Father, I know that you look down on me, a waste prince, and intend to make my second brother the prince, if I am deposed, I will definitely die, you forced me, forced me, I will send your relatives to reunite with you."

The prince stood alone in place, crying and laughing for a while, and after a while, he suppressed his emotions and walked out of the East Palace, heading towards the Taihedian Square.

After a stick of incense, the civil and military officials in the Taihe Hall looked at the prince, and the yellow robe and the public carpet of the Taihe Hall passed through them step by step and sat on the dragon chair.

The news that Feng Sheng's army had entered Shangjing was well known, and the whole city was on guard with an aura of slaughter.

The civil and military officials all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at the prince's sharp eyes, now that the prince has the potential to set the tide, if he dares to say more, I am afraid that blood will be splashed.

"This palace is the prince of Nanzhao, and now that my father has died of illness, it should be enthroned by this palace Shun Tong, do you still have any objections?"

The crown prince no longer conceals his ambitions, and 200,000 soldiers and horses are in hand, which is enough to stabilize the entire Shangjing.

Cining Palace

"Sister, how about my sister giving you a splendid future, my sister was the most favored by the first emperor, and now that the first emperor has died, why don't you go and accompany the first emperor!"

The queen looked at Ning Guifei, who had just ordered Yu Linwei to escort her, at Ning Guifei, who was speechless at this time, condescendingly.

Since the death of the emperor, the queen sent people to surround Cining Palace, the second prince Nanyu tried to rescue Ning Guifei several times without success, so he had no choice but to escape from the palace first, the prince learned that the second prince had escaped from the palace, so he could only imprison Ning Guifei, and when the enthronement was completed, he was forced to appear.
