Chapter 373: Sworn to follow
The news of the change of the heir to the throne spread far and wide, and all of a sudden, the whole capital was in an uproar, which can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
In their opinion, no matter who the emperor is, as long as he takes the throne, he is a good emperor if he is lightly endowed and works hard.
As for who the emperor was, the people didn't have much of a feeling.
However, in the taverns in the capital, there are all kinds of people from the south and the north, most of whom are Jianghu guests, and of course they will be particularly concerned about such news.
In their eyes, if something like this happens in the capital, there will naturally be another turmoil, and there may be some opportunities at that time.
But after the Battle of Nanjing, these people in the rivers and lakes also understood the serious consequences of opposing the imperial court, and the people in the rivers and lakes at that time were seven or eight out of ten, and such a tragic situation had already spread to the entire rivers and lakes through Qianxun Pavilion.
So these people did not act, but a very small number of people did.
Among them was a man with a blind left eye, who was relatively tall, with a short knife at his waist and a pair of elegant leather boots on his feet.
These boots were extremely incommensurate with the plain clothes on his body, and they were several times more expensive than his whole body.
However, only such a pair of shoes is suitable for him, he traveled south and north, did not know how to travel tens of thousands of miles, and changed to ordinary boots, naturally rotten.
His hat was covered with a black cloth, and the breeze blew up, lifting the black cloth to reveal his face. His expression was grim, and there was an extra scar on the right side of his face, which seemed to match the black blindfold on his left eye.
This person is Han Shaofei. When he fled from the capital like a lost dog, his wife and old mother. Because of Liu Jin's frame-up, Beimanmen was beheaded. It has always been a hidden pain in his heart.
After all these years, Han Shaofei still hasn't let go of the obsession in his heart, he wants to become the imperial elite who assists the emperor, but now he has less of those power and status pursuits, and more of his ideals.
He knew that Tie Qiuyu had been looking for them and had also learned the news of Wang Dahai's death, but these were not the most important things, when he learned that Feng Mu had come to the capital. When I was brought into the palace, I felt that my opportunity had come.
Just like Tang Beixing, Han Shaofei also hoped that Feng Mu could ascend the throne, so that he could realize the ambition in his heart. Back then, he ruined his family to relieve the difficulties, so he saved Feng Mu's life, and this credit, Han Shaofei knew that it was enough to make him a supreme minister.
He walked slowly towards the palace, which was not easy to break into. But now that he has advanced in martial arts, he has to thank that old monster if he hadn't met him. Han Shaofei is only a first-class master in his life, and it is difficult to enter the ranks of top masters.
Han Shaofei had enough confidence that he pulled under the city gate. Fly up and get fast. The soldiers defending the city did not see clearly, and he disappeared. Entered the palace.
The other group of people who were waiting for the opportunity were not martial arts masters, but officials of the imperial court, and these people were more fanatical than Han Shaofei.
Because they have already aimed at the position of the first assistant, among these people, there is the little-known Zhang Xuan, there is also Xia Yan, who is amazingly talented, and Yan Song, who is obscure.
These people are not good at stubble, and they have their own furrows in their hearts, but at this time, they are low-key, quietly watching, and do not take any action.
Because at this time, it was still Yang Tinghe who had the final say, even if he was dizzy and made a wrong move, but he had been operating in the court for many years, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials were all over the court and the opposition, with big roots and deep roots, and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, even if they wanted to impeach, they could not find anyone who could deal with the first assistant.
Today's Yang Tinghe is like a high mountain, lying in front of everyone's eyes, they want to obtain the status of the first assistant, but they can't get around this mountain, of course, if they want to move him away, it is even more foolish.
Fortunately, they are younger than Yang Tinghe and can wait for the opportunity, as long as Yang Tinghe survives, they will have a chance. Among these people, only Zhang Xuan has the least chance, because he is not only getting older, but also has not entered the Hanlin Academy.
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xuan has no chance to become the first assistant, and he seems to have no hope at all, but this restless person did not give up because of this, but peeped at the movements of the imperial court at any time, as long as the new emperor ascended the throne, he had the direction of his efforts.
Xia Yan doesn't have a fly like Zhang Xuan, because of his own profound talent, he believes that he will be able to get ahead sooner or later. As for his junior Yan Song, he is even more humble and polite, with a non-contentious notice.
When Yan Song was coy, he gained a lot of good reputation, and even the most popular Yanguan who had nothing to do had no reason to impeach him. Yan Song hibernated like a python, staring at the prey in his eyes, waiting for the final blow to kill.
Feng Mu naturally heard the news, which made his whole person a little blank, and then he actually beat a drum in his heart, he had never been so nervous.
Seeing Feng Mu's appearance, the five teeth of the Forbidden Palace were also worried about his safety, and Mo Zi also said first: "Your Highness, the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it, you don't need to worry too much, you will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety." β
Feng Mu nodded, and couldn't help but think of what a fortune teller had said back then, who concluded that Xu Ai, who was walking with him, had little time, and sure enough, as he said, Xu Ai died of illness not long after.
The Xiangshi also said that Feng Mu would have a life-and-death calamity when he was twenty-three years old, so according to this, Xiangshi did not mention the calamity of his age, which means that he will only be in danger?
Feng Mu didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but such things had already happened, so he began to believe that there was an invisible number in this world, and acting according to this law would be smooth.
Happiness in suffering is what Feng Mu is best at, he can only comfort himself like this, and then replied: "I won't run away from what should come, but I have affected all the masters, and I am really a little uneasy." β
Ba Dongling's voice was the sharpest, and he spoke: "Those of us who have already died once, and we have picked up a life over the years, and we have lived so long is enough." β
After Ba Dongling finished speaking, **** Hao held the Ling Xiao Sword in his hand, stood up, and said: "Your Highness is the person we have high hopes for, we will naturally escort you to the end, maybe we can't see your achievements in the future, but at this level, we are willing to help you." β
Ye Xiaozheng echoed: "This is also what I want to say. β
Han Tong clasped his hands together, recited a Dharma name in his mouth, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's protect His Highness from entering the palace." β
Mo Zi also looked up at the clear sky, and his mood was much better, he knew that their departure must be extremely dangerous, but his blood was boiling.
Under the escort of the five people, Feng Mu got into the carriage that Tang Beixing had prepared long ago, and followed this ambitious soldier to the palace. (To be continued.) )
