Chapter 165 Brother Li, Don't Come Back! 【order】

Liu Jin's sharp voice echoed in the living room, clearly showing how bad Liu Jin's mood is at the moment.

With a plop, Liu Jin sat down directly, looked at Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Zhang Cai and others sitting next to her with a gloomy face, took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, and gritted her teeth: "Jiao Fang Come on, tell me, who is plotting against our family? They even dare to plot against His Majesty, they have eaten the heart of a leopard, and they are lawless."

Jiao Fang smiled wryly, being called by Liu Jin, even if she didn't want to speak anymore, Jiao Fang had no choice but to look at Liu Jin and said, "Grand Liu, I don't know how Your Majesty is doing now?"

Hearing Jiao Fang's question, Liu Jin's complexion darkened, and he raised his anger and screamed, "How did our family know? Now that the gate of the palace is closed, not a single fly can fly out. How can our family know?" How is Your Majesty doing now?"

Originally thought that Liu Jin would be able to get some news from the palace, but never thought that even Liu Jin would not get any news from the palace now, which made Jiao Fang and the others more and more worried.

At this time, Zhang Cai's eyes flashed with a strange look and said: "Chairman, the news of His Majesty's assassination is too sudden. I don't know what happened, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it will Become a sharp weapon for the court officials to deal with us."

Speaking of this, even Zhang Cai couldn't help but look worried.

Don't look at them attaching to Liu Jin and forming an eunuch party above the court. It seems that they can overwhelm the sky with one hand, and they can even fight against the civil official group headed by Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others.

But Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang are very clear in their hearts. They just look scary. In fact, there are not too many people who are really attached to them. Not to mention other things, just the six yamen, they also occupy the official department, household That's all.

For example, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, at most, only a few people are placed. Even the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households occupied by them, the middle and lower officials are all members of the civil official group.

And the reason why they were able to gain a little upper hand over the court was entirely because the emperor was biased towards them, and Liu Jin, the Chief Supervisor of Rites and Supervisors, cooperated with Jiao Fang and Liu Yu who entered the cabinet. Group confrontation.

However, the power they formed is like a tree without roots and water without a source. It can't stand a little bit of change. Whether it's Liu Jin's accident or the emperor's accident, except for a few of them, the rest of the officials who depend on them In an instant, birds and beasts will scatter.

Cao Yuan coughed lightly at this moment, looked at Jiao Fang and Liu Yu and said, "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager hurriedly called Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe into the palace, but you two were missed. This is not a good omen."

Needless to say, Cao Yuan, they are all aware of this.

They are also cabinet elders, so if something unexpected happened to the emperor here, the queen mother summoned the ministers to the palace, so Jiao Fang and Liu Yu, who are cabinet elders, must be in the ranks of the summons.

But the queen mother just summoned Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, as if she had forgotten Jiao Fang and Liu Yu.

It's just such a big matter, Jiao Fang and Liu Yu are members of the cabinet, this is known to all officials, it is obviously impossible for the Queen Mother not to know, but the Queen Mother has left out the two, is the meaning behind it unclear?
What's more, Liu Jin, who is the inner minister, should also enter the palace at this time, and stay in the palace with the cabinet elders, ready to respond at any time.

However, just yesterday, it was also the Empress Dowager who ordered Liu Jin to stay in the mansion and not to leave Liu's mansion, which directly cut off any possibility of Liu Jin entering the palace.

Liu Jin looked frantic, and screamed outside: "Come on!"

Immediately, I saw a young eunuch running over, and said cautiously to Liu Jin, "Chief!"

Liu Jin waved his hand and said, "Has the person you sent to look for Ma Yongcheng come back?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch shook his head and said, "Go back to Chief Manager, there is no news yet."

Liu Jin said angrily: "Waste, what a waste, I don't know how to come back after so long."

The little eunuch drooped his head, not daring to speak.

Zhang Cai looked at the frantic Liu Jin and said, "Grand Liu, wait a little longer, I think there will be news soon."

Liu Jin glanced at Zhang Cai and said anxiously: "Wait, wait any longer, the ghost knows what Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang will do, His Majesty's life and death are uncertain, I have to find out what happened to His Majesty, otherwise, nothing like this will happen." As far as I know, even if I want to do something, I have no idea."

Liu Jin's thoughts almost represent the thoughts of several people. They are obviously the most powerful group of people in Daming, but they never thought that the emperor had an accident, and they would not even get any news.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and the atmosphere in the living room became more and more dignified.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and Liu Jin and the others immediately looked up when they heard the footsteps.

He saw a little eunuch coming panting, ran into the living room, prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: "Chief, the servant is back."

Liu Jin got up suddenly, rushed directly to the little eunuch, grabbed the little eunuch and said urgently: "Quickly tell me, have you seen Ma Yongcheng, what can Ma Yongcheng tell you?"

The little eunuch was picked up by Liu Jin, and he shook his head bitterly and said, "Chief Manager, Ma Changgong has never left the palace since he entered the palace yesterday, so...so..."

The look of expectation in Liu Jin's eyes immediately turned into disappointment when he heard the words, and he pushed the little eunuch to the ground, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, they don't intend to let our family know about this news, our family is going to See Your Majesty, I don't believe His Majesty will have an accident, it must be that they falsely preached the imperial decree..."

Anxious Liu Jin got up and was about to walk outside, but was grabbed by Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai.

You must know that the Queen Mother has ordered that Liu Jin is not allowed to leave the mansion. If Liu Jin leaves the Liu Mansion, she may not be able to reach the palace, and she may be arrested for violating the Queen Mother's order.

Forbidden City, Inside the Imperial Palace
Compared with before, the security of the imperial city was significantly stricter, and there was even a little more tense atmosphere.

In the huge inner palace, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, Dali Temple Minister, Zongzheng Temple and other nine ministers are almost halfway in one palace.

These people waited outside the palace, looking into the palace from time to time, their faces full of worry and eagerness.

And in the palace, in a room exuding a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, a figure was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and his breathing was weak. It was either Zhu Houzhao or someone else.

At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang was leading several court ladies and the Empress Xia family, looking at the imperial physician who was helping the emperor to check his body with concern.

The imperial physician Chen Jiu had a graying head, and he was one of the best in the imperial hospital, but after helping Zhu Houzhao to take the pulse at this moment, he had a serious expression on his face.

When Chen Jiu put Zhu Houzhao's arm back on the couch, Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia immediately looked at Chen Jiu.

"How is your Majesty? Does it matter? When can I wake up?"

Chen took a look at Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia, and said slowly: "Return to Empress Dowager, empress empress, Your Majesty's pulse condition is shallow and weak, almost undetectable, and his heartbeat is also extremely slow. The situation is extremely bad. I have never seen such a situation. disease."

Empress Xia fell down on the side of the emperor's bed when she heard it, her face showed panic, while Empress Dowager Zhang's complexion changed, her eyes flickered with a bit of fierceness, she stared at Chen and said: "Don't listen to this, my palace. I just want to ask you why His Majesty hasn't woken up, and whether you have any way to wake His Majesty up."

Chen looked at Zhu Houzhao, shook his head and said, "I have no other choice but to think of a way to temporarily hang His Majesty's life. As for whether His Majesty can wake up, and when he wakes up, I will..."

"Get out, a bunch of trash, all of them are so-called masters of Chinese medicine. At critical moments, there is no way, no way!"

Empress Dowager Zhang broke into a thunderous rage, only to frighten Chen to kowtow again and again, and exited the room.

Outside the main hall, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others could clearly hear the empress dowager's angry reprimand.

At this moment, seeing several imperial physicians who were summoned to check with the emperor were kicked out, Li Dongyang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Physician Chen, how is your majesty's situation?"

Chen hurriedly bowed to Li Dongyang and the others, and when he heard the words, his face was serious and he said in a low voice: "Looking back at Mr. Fu, His Majesty's condition is the same as yesterday, and he is still unconscious. I can only think of a way to hang His Majesty's life... "

Li Dongyang sighed when he heard the words, he cupped his hands at Chen and said, "Physician Chen must do everything possible to make His Majesty wake up as soon as possible."

Chen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will go find my colleagues and discuss together to see if I can come up with a way to wake up Your Majesty."

Chen Jiu's several imperial physicians withdrew for the time being, while Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Fei Hong, Mao Ji and other important court officials also heard Chen Jiu's words clearly, and now they turned their attention to Li Dongyang.

Jiang Mian said: "Lord Chief Assistant, Your Majesty has been in a coma for more than three days, and now life and death are uncertain. As Chief Assistant, you must take up the burden of the court, and absolutely nothing will happen."

Li Dongyang nodded slightly and said: "The old man knows."

At this moment, Yang Tinghe said with a solemn expression: "The case of His Majesty's assassination must be strictly investigated, and all the dangerous people hiding around His Majesty must be caught, otherwise, even if His Majesty can wake up, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no harm in the future." Something horrible like this happens again."

Hearing what Yang Tinghe said, Fei Hong, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji nodded in unison, and then looked at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang took a deep breath and said: "The court ladies who assassinated His Majesty at that time have all been taken down, and now they are imprisoned in the palace, and they can be interrogated at any time after consulting the Queen Mother."

Yang Tinghe immediately said: "Then immediately ask the Empress Dowager to issue an order to strictly investigate the case of His Majesty's assassination. There must be no further delay, otherwise those who hide in the dark will destroy the evidence."

Li Dongyang slightly nodded and said: "Don't worry, the former fan Ma Yongcheng has brought people from the East Factory to the trial..."

But before Li Dongyang finished speaking, Jiang Mian said: "Master Shoufu is confused, how can such an important matter be handed over to eunuchs like Ma Yongcheng, let alone Liu Jin is involved in this case, even if Liu Jin is not involved , How can such a big matter be handed over to Dongchang for investigation? The Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must all send people to cooperate in the investigation, so as to ensure justice. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will bend the law for personal gain or even Cover up those who conspire..."

Ma Yongcheng, who had been staying outside the hall all this time, immediately changed his face when he heard the words, and screamed at Jiang Mian angrily: "Jiang Mian, what do you mean? Are you saying that our family is not loyal to His Majesty?"

Jiang Mian said strangely: "I don't know whether you, Ma Yongcheng, are loyal to His Majesty. I only know that Liu Jin is involved in this case. I'm afraid you, Ma Yongcheng, are also to blame."

Ma Yongcheng's face turned angry and said: "Bloody mouth, Jiang Mian, how dare you slander our family like this."

At this time, a voice came and said: "Your Majesty is still in a coma, and you are making noise outside this hall. Do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes, and this palace?"

It turned out that Queen Mother Zhang heard the movement outside and looked at Ma Yongcheng, Jiang Mian and others angrily.

The queen mother was furious, and Ma Yongcheng, Jiang Mian and others all bowed down in front of the queen mother.

Ma Yongcheng even cried out for injustice: "Queen Dowager, you have to be the master of your servant, your servant is loyal to His Majesty, yet Jiang Mian dares to slander your servant..."

The Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Ma Yongcheng in disgust, and at this moment Jiang Mian said righteously: "Empress Dowager, the old minister begs the Empress Dowager to order people from the third division to investigate the case of His Majesty's assassination, and we must not let those who dare to murder His Majesty escape. Get away with it."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the two of them and said, "You two elders, what do you think?"

Yang Tinghe clasped his hands and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, I think what Master Jiang said is very true. The case of His Majesty's assassination must be thoroughly investigated, and must be investigated to the end. No matter who is involved, we must find out clearly and never let anyone go."

Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she said to Yang Tinghe: "Okay, just as Mr. Yang Ge said, this matter will be supervised by Mr. Yang Ge himself."

Yang Tinghe couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed down to Queen Mother Zhang: "The old minister respectfully obeys the Queen Mother's order."

But at this moment Fei Hong suddenly said: "I have reported to the Empress Dowager that I thought that His Majesty was assassinated in the palace, so I am afraid that the palace guards cannot be trusted. I suggest replacing the palace guards just in case."

Li Dongyang frowned and said, "No!"

The matter of the imperial palace guards is of great importance. If they want to replace them, the emperor must approve it. Otherwise, if anyone else dares to change the palace guards, it will be a crime of treason.

Fei Hong dared to suggest replacing the imperial palace guards. This is really courageous. No wonder Li Dongyang was taken aback when he heard this, and he almost instinctively objected.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but frowned too, but seeing Fei Hong's devotion to the public, she hesitated and said, "The imperial palace guards are related to the safety of the imperial palace. This time, your Majesty's accident, they can't escape the responsibility, but From the current point of view, if the imperial city guards are replaced, His Majesty may be furious if he wakes up, so it is better to choose a compromise method and temporarily change the commander of the palace guards, and then order the palace guards to conduct a thorough investigation."

Fei Hong said respectfully: "The empress dowager has learned from you, and the veteran thinks this method is feasible."

Hearing what Fei Hong said, Empress Dowager Zhang turned to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others, "What do you elders think?"

Li Dongyang and the others all nodded, and then Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said: "If that's the case, then it's settled."

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at several people and said: "I have gone to look at Your Majesty, and I will trouble you with the affairs of the court. When Your Majesty wakes up, I will definitely not forget you."

Li Dongyang led a group of ministers to the Empress Dowager Zhang and said: "I will send you off to the Empress Dowager respectfully."

Yumajian Yamen

The Yumajian is in charge of the emperor's internal treasury and the Tengxiang imperial guards. It can be said that the authority is extremely heavy. Naturally, the food can be described as busy, so Gu Dayong spends most of his time in the Yumajian.

At this moment, Gu Dayong looked solemnly at the eunuch delivering the decree in front of him, stared at him condescendingly and said, "Tell me, what happened in the palace, why are the gates of the imperial city closed? His Majesty's will or whose will?"

Not long ago, Gu Dayong wanted to go back to the palace to see Zhu Houzhao. If it was the past, with Gu Dayong's identity, the servants and guards guarding the palace gate would definitely release him after seeing his token.

But this time, even if Gu Dayong took out his own token, he was blocked outside the palace gate, almost driving Gu Dayong to death.

Back in the Yumajian yamen, the more Gu Dayong thought about it, the more wrong he was, and when he was about to send someone to gather his men, and even send someone to find out what happened in the imperial city, several servants came with their orders meet him.

This was the scene where Gu Dayong questioned the little eunuch.

The little eunuch tremblingly said to Gu Dayong: "The servants really don't know what the governor said. The servants just obeyed the Queen Mother's order to call the governor into the palace. The servants don't know anything about the rest!"

Gu Dayong frowned, looking at the Yizhi stamped with the queen mother's seal, hesitation appeared on his face.

If this is the emperor's decree, Gu Dayong would definitely choose to go to the palace to meet the emperor without hesitation, but who told this to be the empress dowager's decree?

Naturally, Gu Dayong hesitated.

Seemingly seeing Gu Dayong's hesitation, one of the accompanying servants shouted at Gu Dayong: "Boss Gu, could it be that you want to disobey the order and disrespect it? You must know that even if you are His Majesty, you still have to listen to the Queen Mother!"

Gu Dayong took a look and recognized that this person was the confidant of Empress Dowager Zhang, and the anger in his heart subsided. If other people dared to talk to him like this, he would definitely order him to be killed immediately. He was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.

Looking at the servant, Gu Dayong suddenly said: "Come and tell me, what happened in the palace?"

The palace gates of the imperial city were closed, and the emperor did not pass on the decree, but it turned out to be the queen mother's decree. No matter how slow Gu Dayong's reaction was, he now realized that something might have happened to the emperor.

Facing Gu Dayong's questioning, the servant shook his head and said, "General Manager Gu will know if he has entered the palace."

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Dayong and said, "I hope Manager Gu will think it over clearly, His Majesty's will is the will, and the Queen Mother's will is also the will..."

Gu Dayong snorted coldly and said, "Our family will enter the palace with you."

In a side hall, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong and others all looked at Gu Dayong, the chief inspector of the imperial horse, who was sitting there with apprehensive and indignant faces.

Gu Dayong's expression was not much better than that of the others.As soon as he entered the palace, he was brought to such a side hall by the servant next to the queen mother.

Gu Dayong also wondered what the other party wanted to do by bringing him to this side hall, but when he entered the side hall, he found that Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong and others were all here, and they seemed to be guarded. Same.

Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and the others were obviously taken aback when they saw Gu Dayong, they didn't expect that Gu Dayong would enter the palace at this time, and they were even locked in this side hall like them.

Gu Dayong glanced at several people and said: "Brother Gao Feng, I was just recalled by the Queen Mother. What happened these few days? Why can't I enter the palace or see Your Majesty? Why are you locked up here?"

At this moment, Gu Dayong's complexion became very ugly, and there was a faint feeling in his heart.I just feel that it was a mistake for him to enter the palace this time.

Just thinking about this, Gu Dayong heard Gao Feng's face turned livid and said: "Damn it, we have been tricked miserably this time, who would have thought that His Majesty returned to the palace from the leopard room three days ago, and was assassinated in just one day. Even we have become the object of suspicion, we were imprisoned here, and we were almost arrested for interrogation."

Gu Dayong jumped up when he heard the words, and exclaimed: "What, Your Majesty was assassinated, is Your Majesty okay? What's going on, who did it?"

Gu Dayong was terrified by the news. He had thought about many possibilities just now, but he never thought of Zhu Houzhao's assassination.

You must know that since Zhu Houzhao learned the Xuanwu breath method with Li Huan and practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu, his strength is not weak now. In this palace, Gu Dayong really can't think of anyone who can hurt Photo by Zhu Houzhao.

Staring at Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and the others, Gu Dayong looked in disbelief.

With a light sigh, Qiu Ju said slowly: "Let me do the talking."

Gu Dayong looked at Qiu Ju, only to hear Qiu Ju say: "About four days ago, His Majesty learned that the Empress Dowager was ill, so he came back to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager. Now that he has returned to the palace, His Majesty is not in a hurry to return to the Leopard Room. So he slept in the Jinglan Hall. This time, His Majesty summoned six women who were presented by Director Liu to serve as servants. Originally, such things were nothing. His Majesty was in the prime of his life, and the mere six women were enough to deal with it. Got it."

Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, and Zhang Yong's expression remained unchanged, they just listened to Qiu Ju's continuation.

But Qiu Ju's expression changed when he said this: "I was waiting outside the Jinglan Palace. You all know that His Majesty usually summons us to take away the women who serve the women in the middle of the night. , but this time when it was almost dawn, I didn't hear His Majesty's summons, so I quietly entered Jinglan Palace, who would have thought... who would have seen two women hanged in Jinglan Palace Among them, the other four women sat on the ground in a daze..."

Gu Dayong said anxiously: "Then what about Your Majesty, what about Your Majesty?"

Qiu Ju's eyes showed a bit of horror and said: "Your Majesty was wrapped in silk around his neck, and he was strangled to death. The two of the women who served the bed were the ones who did it. .”

"What! Absurd, really absurd, Your Majesty is at the peak of his age, even in his sleep, two weak women cannot control him."

Obviously, in Gu Dayong's view, Zhu Houzhao was strangled to death by two weak women with silk and satin. This is a joke at all. able to resist.

Qiu Ju smiled wryly and said: "But the fact is that, His Majesty was strangled to death by those two women who committed suicide."

Gu Dayong took a deep breath and looked at Qiu Ju and asked, "Is Your Majesty alive or dead?"

Qiu Ju shook his head and said: "When I found out that His Majesty was assassinated, I immediately warned the police, and sent people to Tongbing Empress Dowager and Queen, and invited the imperial doctor, but based on my inspection at the time, His Majesty's breath was extremely weak, I'm afraid..."

With a bang, Gu Da slapped the table case with a slap, smashed the table case and said angrily: "Your Majesty's body is in the prime of spring and autumn, so how could he die early? Your Majesty will be fine. It will be all right."

Gao Feng looked at Gu Dayong and said: "Brother Gu, Your Majesty has had such an accident, we are already in a state of confusion right now, and we have no master, what should everyone do, do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Yong on the side sneered and said: "Didn't Brother Gu just say that the gates of the imperial city are now closed, even if he does not have the Queen Mother's order, he will not be able to enter the imperial city. Obviously, the imperial city has been completely closed at this moment. If Not surprisingly, the Empress Dowager should have summoned important ministers like Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang to the palace just in case. As for us..."

Zhang Yong glanced at several people, but the meaning revealed in his eyes made Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others panic even more.

Even Gu Dayong couldn't keep calm at the moment, his complexion changed drastically: "If... if something happens to His Majesty, given how much civil and military officials hate us, without His Majesty's protection, I'm afraid we will die by then. very miserable."

Obviously Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others are not fools. If they didn't even realize this, they wouldn't be able to stand out from Zhu Houzhao's side.

Sitting there slumped, Gu Dayong glanced at Gao Feng and Qiu Ju and said, "If I hadn't entered the palace and still held the soldiers and horses of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion, I would have found a way to see Your Majesty, but now , if I am not mistaken, I am afraid that someone has temporarily taken over the Yumajian at this moment, and I, the head of the Yumajian, has no one under him, so it is nothing."

Zhang Yong sighed: "Then we just wait here to die?"

Glancing at Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong said with a sneer, "If you, Zhang Yong, have something to do, you might as well talk about it. If it's really feasible, we might as well listen to you."

Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Put all the blame on Liu Jin. I don't think it will be long before the people from the Third Division will investigate the case of His Majesty's assassination. At that time, we, His Majesty's servants, will definitely be punished." Strict investigation, and we can take this opportunity to push all the crimes on Liu Jin..."

Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, and Gao Feng couldn't help but cast a strange look at Zhang Yong when they heard the words. They knew that Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were always at odds, but they didn't expect Zhang Yong to be so ruthless.

That is a serious crime of treason. Once it is confirmed, the family will be ransacked and the family will be wiped out.

Liu Jin would send someone to assassinate the Son of Heaven, which was a big joke. They would rather believe that the sun came out from the west than Liu Jin would send someone to assassinate the Son of Heaven.

It's like they are nothing without the emperor. Liu Jin offended all the civil and military officials in the court. Without the protection of the emperor, Liu Jin would never survive the next day. Liu Jin's head was flooded, even if he was crazy and stupid Now, it is impossible to hurt the emperor even the slightest bit.

But now Zhang Yong wants them to testify that Liu Jin is the mastermind behind the assassination of the emperor. How can this prevent Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju and others from looking at Zhang Yong with strange eyes.

Zhang Yong felt that the eyes of several people were so strange, but he didn't care, he just snorted coldly and said: "If you want to survive, this is the only way, everyone might as well think about it carefully."

Speaking of which, Zhang Yong didn't care what other people's reactions were, and got up and went to the next room.

Only Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, and Gu Dayong are left in the side hall. You look at me and I look at you. At this moment, Gu Dayong coldly glanced at Zhang Yongli's direction and said with a sneer: "Zhang Yong is absolutely unbelievable!"

Qiu Ju and Gao Feng nodded slightly.

At this moment, Qiu Ju whispered to Gao Feng and Gu Dayong, "You two, the moment I found out that His Majesty was assassinated, I quietly sent someone to send news to Jin Yiwei, as long as Brother Li Huan The confidantes who stayed in Jinyiwei are not fools, I think Brother Li Huan may already be on his way back to Beijing by now."

Hearing what Qiu Ju said, Gu Dayong and Gao Feng couldn't help but their eyes lit up. They looked at Qiu Ju in surprise and said, "Why would you think of sending a letter to Li Huan? He is thousands of miles away in Fujian. Even if he gets After hearing the news, I’m afraid it won’t change anything.”

Qiu Ju smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why, but I subconsciously thought of Brother Li Huan at the time, thinking that he would definitely be able to help. Now that I think about it, I must have lost my head."

Gao Feng glanced at Qiu Ju and said, "You are indeed in a daze. You really think that Brother Li Huan is omnipotent. Even if Brother Li Huan really rushed back from Fuzhou day and night, I'm afraid I'll wait until he comes back. His is not a good thing."

Gu Dayong nodded and said: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wished to confiscate Brother Li's family and exterminate his family. If it wasn't for His Majesty's protection, Brother Li would have been killed by those people long ago. This time His Majesty made such a move For big things, if he rushes back, it would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap."

Hearing what Gu Dayong and Gao Feng said, Qiu Ju couldn't help showing a bit of self-blame on his face. He only felt that he had passed the news to Li Huan, but he never thought that he had hurt Li Huan.

With a long sigh, Qiu Ju said: "If something really happens to His Majesty, we have served His Majesty for so many years, and we will go with His Majesty. I just hope that Brother Li Huan will not come back so stupidly, and we will be with you when the time comes." Even if I lost my life together, I would have no face to see Brother Li Huan even under the Nine Springs."
