Prime Minister's House.

When Liu Ming saw Liu Song leading a large group of people to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but turn pale: "Liu Song, why are you doing this?"

Liu Song hurriedly ran to the front of the steps and said nervously: "The Prime Minister doesn't know, Yang Hai is dead." Therefore, Xia Guante came to protect the safety of the adults. ”

"Yang Hai is dead?"

Liu Ming's face changed suddenly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Just now, Xia Guan only learned about it after receiving the report, and I saw that the trace of the carriage left from the Prime Minister, so I immediately rushed over for fear that something would happen to the Prime Minister."

Liu Ming pondered: "Can you find out who this person is?" ”

Liu Song shook his head: "Lord Hui, there is one more thing that is extremely strange. ”

"Cao Lin, the secretary of the ministry, was wiped his neck at home, and now his head is placed on the stone lion at the door."

Yang Hai died, and so did Cao Lin.

Liu Ming's face suddenly became solemn, and he looked around in horror: "Has the murderer been caught?" ”

Liu Song shook his head: "The lower officials are worried about the safety of adults, so they came here as soon as possible." ”

"However, Xia Guan has already ascertained that person is a nine-rank martial arts powerhouse."

"Nine Rank Strong?" Liu Ming's brain was suddenly a little insufficient.

There were so many nine products in the Dafeng Dynasty, and he had never heard of anyone who dared to make a move on Lord Shangshu openly.

"I'm fine here, Yang Hai and Cao Lin were killed, this matter is a major matter for my dynasty, you don't hurry up and notify all the soldiers and horses to be under martial law, if you let the thief out of the imperial city because of your dereliction of duty, I will take you to the knife!"

Liu Song's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The lower official obeys the order, and the lower official will mobilize all the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division to conduct a city-wide search." ”

"Prime Minister, do you think this matter should be reported to the Ministry of War?"

Liu Ming snorted: "I'll rush to the military department, you will hold the prime minister's hand, and mobilize the left guards guarding outside the city to enter the city to protect the safety of the imperial city?" ”

Liu Song was stunned: "My lord, if the Left Guards want to enter the city, they must have the hand of His Majesty or the Prince, otherwise, I am afraid that the Left Guards will not enter the city." ”

Liu Ming said: "Then go to the prince and ask for an edict." ”

Looking for the prince to ask for an edict?

Liu Song's face became nervous, he was just the deputy director of the Terracotta Division, and if he asked him to go to the prince to ask for an edict, it would be like looking for death.

Liu Ming raised his eyebrows: "What, isn't it okay?" ”

Liu Song trembled and said: "My lord, the prince, the prince ......."

Before Liu Song could say anything, a military general hurriedly ran in and said to Prime Minister Liu Ming: "Prime Minister, the prince has been attacked." ”

"What?"

This time, even Liu Ming was shocked.

Who is so bold to target himself and the crown prince at the same time in the imperial city?

Could it be the third prince Zhao Hong?

At this time, Liu Song's ghost said in a strange way: "Could it be that the third prince Zhao Hong did it?" ”

Liu Ming looked at Liu Song, his mind lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "In the imperial city, who else can target Benxiang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the same time besides the three princes." ”

"Liu Song! The prince was attacked, all the officials are now at home, you are the only one who can find the prince, I now order you to find the prince quickly, tell him about the three princes, and get the prince's hand, go out of the city immediately, please soldier Qin Wang! ”

Liu Song trembled at what Liu Ming said, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'll go to the prince!" ”

Liu Ming watched Liu Song leave happily, with a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes.

Liu Ming turned around and returned to the mansion, which was already full of dozens of black-clothed powerhouses, and the fluctuating aura on these people was at least six grades.

Liu Ming glanced around and said, "No matter who it is, this time it is the third prince who is trying to rebel." Now go out at once, and find a way to spread the news to the various palaces. ”

"Liu Chi, Liu Chen!"

As Liu Ming shouted, two nine-rank powerhouses walked out of the crowd: "You follow me to the imperial city and implore Your Majesty to leave the customs." ”

Dozens of figures walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and scattered in all directions.

A carriage galloped in the direction of the palace, and on both sides of the carriage, two men dressed in black walked through the air, their bodies fluctuating with the light of the nine pins, flickering uncertainly.

......

In an old house in a corner of the Imperial City, the door was opened, and a man sneaked in, shouting from all around, and then a torch was lit.

The third prince, Zhao Hong, walked out of the room and said, "How is the situation in the imperial city?" ”

If Lu Shen was here at this time, he would definitely be surprised.

Because this person turned out to be Jian San who met at the foot of the Purple Mountain.

"Back to the Third Highness, Lu Shen defeated the prince's subordinates and five nine-rank martial arts powerhouses on the Purple Mountain, and then went down the mountain directly, it should be directly out of the city."

"Straight out of town? Did you go to the dark building's stronghold outside the city? ”

Jian San nodded: "The white clothes of the dark building also left the imperial city in advance, accompanied by Cui Yingluo. ”

Zhao Hong's eyes flashed with a faint light: "What about the prince?" ”

Jian San said respectfully: "I haven't appeared since I returned to the Prince's Mansion. ”

Zhao Hong closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Jian San stood respectfully to the side, silent.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a man in black walked in, knelt on the ground and said: "Back to Your Highness, Liu Song, deputy director of the Soldiers and Horses Division, went to the Prince's Mansion, and after coming out of the Prince's Mansion, he went out of the city directly." We stopped him halfway through. ”

"This is something that was found in Liu Song's arms."

Zhao Hong looked at the two tokens and couldn't help but look gloomy.

"Is this going to mobilize the Left Guard?"

There was a cry outside the door, and then Liu Song was directly tied in.

As soon as he saw Zhao Hong, Liu Song immediately cried and knelt directly on the ground: "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me, it was the Prime Minister who asked me to do this." ”

"Liu Ming, what did he make you do?"

Liu Song hesitated slightly.

The military general on the side directly slashed at Liu Song's thigh with a knife: "If you don't say it, you will be cut off next time." ”

Liu Song's miserable scream came: "Your Highness spare your life, I say, I say it all." ”

Liu Song said everything arranged by the prime minister, and Zhao Hong couldn't help laughing: "What a move, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Isn't letting the Left Guards enter the city to kill me in the name of the crown prince? ”

"But this prime minister is not stupid, he actually knew that he rushed to his father as soon as possible, hehe, this is to see my father, this is obviously to blackmail my father."

"Your Highness, what do we do next?"

Jian San asked respectfully.

Zhao Hong smiled and casually threw the two tokens to Jian San: "Liu Ming wouldn't be so nervous to hand over a token to Liu Song for no reason, there is definitely a problem here." ”

"You lead people to guard around the camp of the Left Guard, and if you find anything unusual, you will arrest the suspicious person as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Jian San was just about to leave, Zhao Hong said: "You people, pay close attention to every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as there is a little movement, there will be no mercy." ”

After speaking, Zhao Hong stood up and walked out directly: "Next, let's see who is the real person in the imperial city." ”

......

In front of a large hall in the palace, four old men sat quietly cross-legged, their eyes closed.

Behind them is the Yangxin Pavilion, which is also the place where Emperor Zhao Yu retreats.

The three princes rebelled, the crown prince quelled the rebellion, and the prime minister Liu Ming had no choice but to lead many civil ministers and military forces to ask His Majesty to come out.

This is Liu Ming's calculation long ago, so when the imperial city fell into agitation, Liu Ming had already asked some civil and military generals who had a lot of power to speak to kidnap him.

And they were kidnapped for only one purpose: to coerce His Majesty and suppress the rebellion of the Three Princes by force.

"Liu Ming, please stop!"

The four old men slowly opened their eyes, and their eyes fell indifferently in front of them.

Liu Ming led a group of Wenchen generals to hurry over, followed by two nine-rank martial artists, and beside Liu Ming, there was also an old man in white standing, this old man looked strange, but after the four old men saw it, they couldn't help but change their complexions, and their faces became solemn.

Liu Ming glanced at the four old men, and said eagerly: "Four elders, the three princes colluded with the dark building to rebel, the prince has been injured, and Wei Chen has no choice but to come to Yangxin Pavilion in person and implore His Majesty to come out." ”

The Great Elder sitting there shook his head slowly: "Your Majesty is currently at the most critical time, and you can't go out. ”

The second elder also nodded and said, "That's right, it's about the future of Dafeng, and Your Majesty can't be disturbed in any way." ”

The other two old men also stated their reasons for refusal.

"Liu Ming, with the strength around you, it should be more than enough to deal with the three princes, and as the prime minister of Dafeng, you should do your duty for Dafeng."

Liu Ming looked embarrassed: "But after all, it is the third prince, if I force it, I will be a rebellious act." ”

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said, "The prince may come here?" ”

Liu Ming was a little embarrassed: "The prince has suffered a setback now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come here." ”

"And we don't know at all, how many people are in the hands of the third prince."

The four old men were silent, but looked at the white-clothed old man beside Liu Ming: "Liu Ming, you have Mr. Beidou to support you, I think it should be a matter of effort to quell this rebellion." ”

The white-clothed Beidou looked at the four old men with a smile: "Respect the first old man, I didn't come to help you quell the rebellion. ”

The Great Elder is called Zunyi, and he is also one of the four major guards around His Majesty Zhao Yu.

Zun glanced at the white-clothed Beidou and chuckled, "I really didn't expect Mr. Beidou to have entered that ethereal realm. ”

Beidou chuckled: "It's just a breakthrough, and only half a foot has stepped into the legendary Ten Realms martial artist." ”

The old man glanced at the white-clothed Beidou lightly, and said with a smile: "I don't know why Your Excellency came this time?" ”

"Quell the chaos."
