"Naturally, it's the crown prince, where is he at this time?" Emperor Taizu glared at him coldly, startling Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion hurriedly picked up the notebook and knelt there respectfully.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."Wu Qingliang lowered his head and glanced out of the hall, but there was still no trace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was supposed to go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to attend the court meeting, but he never thought that Baili Liuyun suddenly visited, and he had to leave the palace in advance, but why the prince had not appeared in the Wuying Hall now, he really couldn't understand.

The Shangshu adults of each ministry are all scheming people, and they each bow their heads because they are unwilling to come forward, and Tang Duo, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, caused Emperor Taizu to look displeased, and the Shangshu and Shilang of each department pressed their heads lower, which was simply a group of old foxes.

At this time, Baili Liuyun, who was standing outside the hall, saw everything that happened in the hall clearly, and was still muttering to himself in his heart, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not appear in the palace, and whether the secret music in his hand was to be played.

Just when he was still hesitating, he suddenly saw His Royal Highness King Qing and walked up the royal steps quickly.

"Your Highness, today is a great court meeting, and no prince can enter the palace without His Majesty's permission. As soon as King Qing arrived on the wooden corridor outside the hall, he was stopped by the forbidden army in front of him.

"This king knows it, and I hope that this forbidden army brother will speak for this king, saying that this king has something important to do. His Royal Highness King Qing stood with his hands in his hands, and he looked at the forbidden army in front of him with a smile on his face.

The forbidden soldier was called the eldest brother by King Qing, and he was so shocked that he hurriedly knelt on one knee, not daring to accept it, he said timidly, "Your Highness, wait a minute, I will go to report to Your Majesty." ”

When the forbidden army entered the hall, His Royal Highness King Qing glanced at Feng Han and the others at the entrance of the hall, and asked Lu Chengying quietly, "Why don't you see Su Qianhu and them?"

"Huh?" Lu Chengying was confused when he saw King Qing asking, and he replied with a pale face, "Your Highness, doesn't you know that Su Qianhu has been killed?"

"Killed?" His Royal Highness King Qing pretended to be nervous, shook his head blankly and said, "How can this king know about this matter, it seems that Jinling is not peaceful today, and you Jinyi Wei can work with the soldiers and horses of the five cities to maintain the security of the capital." ”

The murder of Su Yue and others, several thousands of households in Jinyiwei suspected that King Qing had done it, and at this time, everyone saw that King Qing was unaware, and they suddenly didn't know what to do, and there was still a hatred in their eyes, but now their eyes softened a little.

In the main hall, Emperor Taizu frowned, seeing that it was not a way for the ministers to lower their heads, and he couldn't ask where the prince had gone for a while, so he had to prop his arms on his thighs, bend the index finger of his right hand a few times, and signal Chen Jing to come over.

When Chen Jing saw Emperor Taizu summoning him forward, he quickly walked to the side of the imperial case and bowed down.

"You go and order the pro-army of the Jinyi Guard to come into the palace. Emperor Taizu stretched out his head and instructed Chen Jing.

After Chen Jing heard this, he was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

"Exactly, you just do it. ”

Chen Jing nodded with an embarrassed face, and said silently in his heart, His Royal Highness the Prince, come out quickly, the old slave is going to be hurt by you. He slowly walked to the side of the imperial case, coughed dryly, and said loudly, "Where is the Jinyi Guard?"

As soon as Chen Jing's words came out, the courtiers in the palace were shocked to kneel on the hall one after another. As soon as his words landed, the brocade guards outside the hall hurriedly rushed into the main hall from both sides of the hall gate, holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, standing on both sides of the hall.

Frightened, the forbidden army who had just walked into the main hall and was about to deliver a message to King Qing turned over several times and rolled to the palace.

"Huh?" Emperor Taizu's tone was a little more solemn.

The forbidden soldier hurriedly lay on the palace and said urgently, "Your Majesty, King Qing is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

"Jing'er, doesn't he know that today is the Great Imperial Meeting? If you are not the prince, you can't go to the palace, he doesn't understand this rule?" Emperor Taizu frowned, and said gloomily.

"It's... King Qing.... His Royal Highness King Qing.... Said there was.... Please play it urgently. The janissary was so frightened that he stammered.

"Let him wait for now. ”

"Yes, yes. The soldier of the forbidden army hurriedly got up from the main hall, and ran out of the hall with his legs, and behaved in such a way that everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Only the various Shangshu and squire who were standing in the front row knelt respectfully in place, glancing at them out of the corner of their eyes.

"It seems that all of you Aiqing are not dumb," Emperor Taizu coughed dryly.

Since the founding of the country, in order to consolidate the dynasty, the important ministers who fought the world with Emperor Taizu either died of old age, died in battle, or died unnaturally, in short, there were all kinds of strange reasons, so that everyone in the court was in danger.

Therefore, when the courtiers saw Emperor Taizu walking on thin ice, if they were not careful, they would be immediately sent to prison by the Jinyi Wei army, and then life was worse than death. In this way, the court magnates were frightened when they heard the brocade guard.

Although the Great Dynasty Meeting was Emperor Taizu's annual assessment of the crown prince, it was also a major examination of the life and death of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the Beijing officials. The auction at the Changfeng Inn was a way for courtiers to give gifts to each other, bidding for treasures, which were then given by the Changfeng Inn to officials they wanted to honor.

"Since you don't want to say it, let me ask. Emperor Taizu sat on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he suddenly felt very lonely, and the corners of his eyes instantly became a little rosy. sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the prince, he would always seem to be a loner.

All the people in the court knelt down on the temple, and none of them dared to raise their heads slightly.

"I recently had a dream that the Mongol remnants in the north were greedy for my dynasty again. Emperor Taizu suddenly stopped and shouted sharply, "The secretary of the military department, how did you become an errand?"

Hearing Emperor Taizu's thunderous anger, Shangshu Ruyu of the military department hurriedly got up, knelt in front of everyone, and pleaded, "Chen Lu is dull, I haven't received an urgent report from the border pass recently. After the court meeting, the minister decided immediately...."He said nervously while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. The northern border has been guarded by kings, and in recent years there has been no boundary, so he does not know how to respond.

Before Ru Yu finished speaking, Emperor Taizu suddenly sneered, "Ru Aiqing, the defense of the frontier is related to the safety of our dynasty, you can't be sloppy." ”

"The minister knows the crime, and the minister must remember His Majesty's teachings. The military department Shangshu was inexplicably scolded, Ru Yu knelt in the hall and quickly kowtowed to ask for guilt, and the courtiers behind him were even more dangerous.

King Qing outside the palace couldn't wait any longer, and he asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be dragged in the palace, but it was not a long-term solution. had to risk his life to gamble and rush directly into the temple.

"The son has something to do. King Qing knelt behind the courtiers and shouted loudly.

Emperor Taizu had just begun to reprimand the courtiers, but his son suddenly came out to confront him, he stared at King Qing kneeling at the door of the hall with a displeased face, and wanted to order someone to blow him away, but he never thought that his shouts were getting louder and louder.

"Jing'er has something to do, and came forward to talk back. Emperor Taizu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and waved his hand to King Qing.

A wicked smile flashed at the corner of King Qing's mouth, and he glanced at the courtiers in the palace, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not yet noticed the matter of the Purple Dragon Secret Music, he had to seize the opportunity, if he was preempted by the prince's people, his efforts over the years would be in vain.
