The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 798 Upset
Dozens of people led their horses away from Xingqing Village, returned to the official road, and galloped their horses again.

Liuzhier still quietly followed behind.

That night, Tie Liduan led all the priests of the Wuding Hall to stay up all night, ran to several villages and towns, and beheaded more than ten wanted criminals.

He is afraid that he wants to wipe out the entire Tanzhou rivers and lakes.

As for the mere Tanzhou, it is difficult to have a master who can compare with him.

True Martial Realm is not so easy to appear.

Inside the Changsha Palace.

Yi Shiyu, the eunuch of the Military Intelligence Department, hurriedly ran along the corridor to Zhao Dongting's bedroom overnight again.

The imperial guards who passed by on the road were no strangers to it, and many people took the initiative to say hello to the eunuch who was often seen with a holy face, calling him Eunuch Yi affectionately.

It's just that Yi Shiyu's courage didn't seem to have grown much because of being "favored" by Zhao Dongting. When someone greeted him, he always nodded shyly in return.

When he arrived outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom, Zhao Dongting, who was sleeping soundly with Le Chan in his arms, was naturally awakened again.

In this regard, Zhao Dongting had no choice but to accept his fate.

After walking out of the room wearing a cloak, he saw Yi Shiyu waiting outside, and asked, "Where is the urgent report?"

Yi Shiyu replied, "Xinyang."

Then handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Dongting.

"Xinyang?"

Zhao Dongting showed a little doubt on his face, because he didn't expect any urgent military report from Xinyang.

He took the secret letter, waved Yi Shiyu to leave, and walked into the room again.

Although it was on tiptoe, maybe it was the conversation with Yi Shiyu just now that woke up Le Chan, who was in a very light sleep.

There was still a little rosiness on her face, she propped her body with one hand, she was extremely alluring, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, is there another urgent report?"

Zhao Dongting only nodded, walked to the desk and sat down.

The oil lamp was slightly dim.

He pulled out the secret letter from the bamboo tube and opened it, his complexion changed uncontrollably.

Emperor Gong was assassinated in Sanjue Town, Baili outside Xinyang City.

The final general has brought Empress Dowager Xie and Empress Dowager Quan back to Xinyang, and will head to Changsha today.

Su Quan reported from a distance.

"what!"

Zhao Dongting even made a low cry because of this.

It was beyond his expectation that Zhao Xian would be assassinated and died.He had never even thought about the possibility.

Hearing this low cry, Le Chan couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Originally, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but she and Zhao Dongting had a strong relationship, so naturally they didn't care about it.

It was impossible for Zhao Dongting to hide it from her, he frowned and whispered: "Emperor Gong was assassinated and died a hundred miles outside Xinyang City..."

This time, Le Chan also exclaimed.

Of course, she also knows about the return of Emperor Gong and others to the court.

Then she got out of bed and asked, "How could this be?"

Even she looked at Zhao Dongting in a strange way at the moment.

Zhao Dongting looked back at her, clearly saw the expression in her eyes, his heart moved slightly, suddenly thought of something, and then couldn't stop smiling bitterly, "You think it was my hand?"

Le Chan bit her lip lightly, but did not speak.

Zhao Dongting murmured, shaking his head, "I didn't do it. Although Emperor Gong's return to the court may cause chaos in the court, I will not allow anyone to assassinate him."

Hearing this, the doubt in Le Chan's eyes dissipated.

She believed in Zhao Dongting very much.

Immediately, she couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, who do you think could have done it?"

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, "I don't know. Since the Yuan Dynasty sent Emperor Gong back to the court, there should be no reason to harm him. And those people in Dali, they should have expected that when Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others returned to the court, they would let my Song court People are in turmoil, logically speaking, they have no reason to assassinate Emperor Gong."

Then he said: "However, the look in your eyes just now awakened me. It is impossible for them to do this matter."

"Why?"

Le Chan was a little puzzled.

Zhao Dongting smiled wryly and said, "Think about it, even you think it was done by my order for a moment, what will the rest of the world think?"

The expression on Le Chan's face gradually froze, and deep worry appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Dongting said again: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up if I jump into the Yellow River this time."

At this moment, he was very upset.

Killing Zhao Xian is definitely not a small matter for the entire Song court.Just wait for this news to spread, how will the court people think of Zhao Dongting?
Would anyone trust him like Le Chan did?

Zhao Dongting knew that Lu Xiufu and others still cared about Zhao Xian.Whether they will do anything drastic because of this is still hard to say, but it will definitely inevitably create a gap with themselves.

This is something he never wants to see.

The Great Song Dynasty was able to develop to such an extent in such a short period of time because the monarch and his subjects were united!

Putting the letter paper on the oil lamp and lighting it, seeing the letter paper burning slowly with mixed yellow and green flames, Zhao Dongting frowned and fell into deep thought.

Now it is necessary to find out who killed Zhao Xian. It is very difficult for others to be in Changsha.The most urgent task at the moment should be to figure out how to prove his innocence.

Even if he is the emperor, it is difficult for him to bear the anger of killing his brother.

He didn't want to be like Li Shimin, who created a prosperous world, but was still charged with killing brothers and sisters until his death.

The impact on the entire world is too great, and it may even cause turmoil in the world.

However, in just one night, Zhao Dongting obviously couldn't think of any way to prove his innocence.This matter is almost a dead end.

No one can prove who killed Zhao Xian, but most people will think that Zhao Dongting killed him.Because he has the greatest motivation.

Only when Zhao Xian died, his throne would be safe from any threat.

The next day, it was already dark morning, so Zhao Dongting ordered Eunuch Liu to announce all the humerus ministers in the court to the imperial study.

Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi and other chief and deputy officials from the Ministry of State, Military Aircraft, Law, and Supervision were all present.

When they arrived, Zhao Dongting was already in the imperial study, his expression was exhausted, but he couldn't hide his deep solemnity.

This made Lu Xiufu and others who had just entered the room couldn't help frowning slightly.

It was rare for them to see the emperor looking so puzzled, especially after the emperor married Miss Le Chan recently, he was smiling every day.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

Everyone saluted Zhao Dongting, and as soon as he stood up, Lu Xiufu couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

No big deal, Zhao Dongting will not announce all of them to the imperial study.On the way here, they had already anticipated that something big would happen.

Zhao Dongting raised his head, his eyes fell on everyone, and he said: "Can you trust me?"

Lu Xiufu and the others were slightly puzzled.

Wang Wenfu said: "I believe the emperor. But why does the emperor highlight this statement?"

Zhao Dongting clasped the desk with his fingers without rhythm, he was still a little upset at this moment, and said: "Emperor Gong was assassinated on his way back to court."

"This……"

Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others all changed face.

They are all people who have met Zhao Xian.

To them, although this is not a bolt from the blue, it is undoubtedly a major event that can shake their souls out of the sky.

The dignified Emperor Song was actually assassinated.

Everyone was stunned in place, their faces full of astonishment.

In this way, until a full tens of seconds passed, they finally managed to slow down a little bit.

But even Wang Wenfu, who just said that he trusted Zhao Dongting, looked at Zhao Dongting with a slight change at this time.

As for the assassination of Zhao Xian, Zhao Dongting was really the biggest suspect.As long as they hear about this, everyone will subconsciously think of him first.

But no one dared to question Zhao Dongting directly.

Lu Xiufu swallowed his saliva, his eyes were still a little dull, and he only asked: "Then dare to ask the emperor, the empress dowager and the others..."

Zhao Dongting frowned and said: "They are fine, the thief just assassinated Emperor Gong."

Then he raised his hand and kneaded his eyebrows.

Lu Xiufu and the others were speechless again.

The thieves actually only assassinated Emperor Gong, and there seems to be something intriguing about it.

Zhao Dongting said again in a low voice: "I know that you all suspect that I did this, but I can swear to God that this has nothing to do with me. The masters of Wudingtang have been in the palace these days, and you all know that .”

But this explanation is undoubtedly pale.

As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who knows if he has any masters in the Jianghu who work for him besides the masters of Wu Dingtang?
Lu Xiufu and others are people who have experienced storms, and they will not cancel their suspicion of Zhao Dongting just because of Zhao Dongting's words.

They are now in a state of confusion.

The imperial study room fell silent again.
