Chapter 613: Royal Secrets
The huge capital is silent.
A strange incident occurred in the capital today, the case library of the Internal Affairs Office suddenly caught fire, burning to death Zhou Lin, the Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and several unknown people.
Now, the fire has been extinguished, but in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the black smoke that rushed into the sky is still billowing out.
He was called to stand on the walls of the imperial city, his eyes like knives.
wiped the blood of Long Wuwei on the tip of the knife, and finally glanced at the direction of the Internal Affairs Office, then turned around and entered the palace.
Xinuan Pavilion.
The prison place of the abolished emperor Yongxing!
The palace is rarely visited and is deserted.
All the eunuchs were driven out, and they were not allowed to take half a step close to the Xinuan Pavilion, and in the silent Xinuan Pavilion palace, the warm yellow light from the candles shone on the windows.
Inside the hall was a man in a dragon robe, bowing his head and eyebrows, his hands on his knees, not daring to look directly at the people sitting in the high hall.
Dressed in men's clothes, tied up her hair tiara, and sitting on the dragon chair, her face blankly waiting for the good news of her calling.
Take a closer look, the two people in the Xinuan Pavilion now.
It's exactly the same.
It's like twins.
But the difference is that one man and one woman.
Not much.
The armor-piercing saber was summoned to stride into the Xinuan Pavilion, and with a pop, he knelt down on his knees, his forehead and hands against the cold floor, and kowtowed.
Seeing that he was summoned in, the emperor on the dragon chair couldn't help but lean forward and asked anxiously, "How is it?" How is the errand? β
This afternoon, Zhou Lin, the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was suddenly kidnapped by a group of unknown people, and he came back an hour later, and after returning he went directly to the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Emperor Ji sensed that something was wrong, Zhou Lin must have been kidnapped by the Chen Dynasty, and the Chen Dynasty was secretly investigating the royal affairs.
Of course, Emperor Ji couldn't let the Chen Dynasty succeed, so he called Meng Zhao to stop it.
When Meng Zhao arrived, Zhou Lin and several Long Wuwei had already obtained the files about the emperor and were about to go back to the Chen Dynasty to return to the Chen Dynasty, but there was no way, so Meng Zhao had to kill Zhou Lin and those Long Wuwei, and set a fire to cover up the evidence.
"Back to Your Majesty, the man is dead!"
Hearing this, Emperor Ji's heart that had been hanging for an afternoon finally let go, and she said happily: "It's good to be dead...."
After speaking, she got up from the dragon chair, walked to the kneeling Meng Zhao, bent down to hold Meng Zhao's arm, and personally helped him up: "Hard work, when you get rid of the Chen Dynasty in the future, you will be the number one hero!" I will be crowned a king and a prince for you! β
There was not much joy on his face, and his expression was gloomy.
Emperor looked at him and noticed that something was wrong:
"What the hell is going on? Say, is there something hidden from me? β
The hall was silent, with a hint of chill in the night.
Meng Zhao said in a muffled voice: "The minister may have been exposed, Long Wuwei is extremely difficult, although the minister sneaked up and killed them, but he left a knife wound on them, that kind of wound, only the minister in the capital can cause it, Chen Chao will soon find out that I was called to kill Long Wuwei...."
Wow.
Emperor Ji took two steps back, a little panicked.
If she is called to be exposed, will she not be exposed next?
The joy on Di Ji's face instantly froze on her face, and she looked at Meng Zhao and swallowed dryly.
Meng Zhao continued: "Also, a dragon martial guard took advantage of the cover of other dragon martial guards to eat the paper that recorded His Majesty's life alive, and when the minister found out, it was too late to disembowel him.....
Wow.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Ji took a few steps back.
The last one stumbled, didn't stand still and sat on the ground, looking very embarrassed.
"It's over, it's all over....."
"If Chen Chao knows, we all have to die, we all have to die..."
After a pause, Di Ji said in a hoarse voice:
"Chen Chao will never let us go, he is a revenge character, he will kill me, kill me ....."
"The princes may be able to stop it, but they can't stop the Chen Dynasty...."
The emperor was completely panicked and scared.
He was called to be silent for a long time.
The stand-in in the temple was also silent.
Emperor Ji sat slumped in the cold hall, her eyes glazed over.
But suddenly, she laughed a few times, with endless despair.
"Summoned, and you...."Emperor Ji stretched out his hand and pointed to the call-in in front of him, and then pointed to the stand-in who was kneeling not far away, "The two of you, and I, are going to die, and I have been fighting with Chen Chao for so many years, but I didn't expect to lose...."
Emperor Ji staggered to her feet, hung her two arms, and walked back to the dragon chair with a sway, rubbing inch by inch, with nostalgia:
"I am the ninth of my siblings, my name is Di Ji, and I was born around the time of my seventh brother Li Zhaoyang, with a difference of only a month. The seventh brother died when he was two years old.
But my father declared to the public that it was me who died. From that day on, I replaced the seventh brother, and I became the seventh son of the emperor, Li Zhaoyang.
The queen mother told me these things later. The seventh brother could have lived well, and the other brothers and sisters could also live well, but they were raised by their father and emperor since they were children, and they were all killed by the dragon blood Gu after sucking the qi and blood in their bodies.
I am in good health and have been able to live until now. I don't know what is the meaning of our siblings when they are born? Probably to become a tool for his father to cultivate dragon blood Gu, and his father said that this is our royal life.
We have to accept our fate!
Only in this way can Daki be there!
Gradually, I became numb, and I followed the path my father had arranged for me, step by step.
After my father died, I ascended to the throne as the seventh son of the emperor!
I want to be a Ming Jun and change all that, I don't want my son and daughter to be left without one.
But at that time, the court had already been controlled by a powerful minister named Chen Chao, and I would be restricted by him in whatever I did.
I swear that I will definitely get rid of the Chen Dynasty and let the people of Daji live a good life.
But it turns out that I am not a qualified emperor!
During the years when I was emperor, I fought with him for so long, and not once did I win.
I am not willing to keep losing, I keep losing, I must win the Chen Dynasty.
I used my last hole card, I planted the dragon blood Gu in my body in Chen Chao's body, and I tied my life to him.
He doesn't want to die, so he has to listen to me.
But I also know that even if he dies, he will not be trampled under my feet.
Speaking of which, Daki has become better and better under his governance over the years, and I have to thank him well.
But I'm still not reconciled!
He is obviously a minister, a minister! It's a ministerβ
Minister, always a minister!
Jun, always Jun!
Why didn't he have a sense of awe, and why didn't he have a trace of awe for the royal family?
Chen Chao, what the hell does he want! β
The last few words were deafening and deafening, and Emperor Ji shouted with all her might, but no one could answer her.
ββ
At the end of the night, the first rays of morning light shone on the walls of the imperial city and on the roof of the Xinuan Pavilion.
Knock knock.
The dull beat of drums resounded throughout the imperial city.
Emperor Ji hung her head and sat on the dragon chair all night, her eyes bloodshot.
Poof.
A little eunuch tripped over the threshold, rushed into the hall with a rolling belt, and pointed out of the hall in a panic with one hand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong, Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang has cheated the corpse......"
"He, he's coming......"
