Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"What happened?"

The roars penetrated deep into the soul, causing Emperor Ming Kang, who had just fallen asleep, to wake up suddenly with a start.

The deep voice carried a hint of obvious anger.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the news came from outside the city. Lord Xu has already sent people to investigate the specific situation."

A young eunuch walked in with his head lowered and bent over. Facing Emperor Ming Kang, he was obviously not as calm as Dai Quan. Now he could hear the anger in Emperor Ming Kang's tone, so at this moment, the young eunuch's body was shaking unconsciously.

"Where's Dai Quan?"

After roughly knowing what the situation was, Emperor Ming Kang did not continue to worry about what was happening outside. After a moment of silence, he sat up on the bed with one hand.

"Butler Dai saw that Your Majesty had fallen asleep, so he just left."

The young eunuch did not dare to hide anything or exaggerate anything and could only tell the truth. Of course, this truth was not entirely true. Dai Quan did leave after Emperor Ming Kang fell asleep, but it had been quite a while since he left, because Emperor Ming Kang had been asleep for at least an hour. He said he had just left because he did not want to offend the director who had all-powerful power in the Daming Palace.

As for how long he had been away, he believed that Emperor Ming Kang would react quickly after hearing his words.

"What time is it?"

Emperor Ming Kang was unable to sleep because of the shouting and killing outside. He sat on the bed for a while, then put on his coat and walked towards the imperial desk while asking again.

"Your Majesty, it is just past the hour of Chou."

It was pitch black outside and the candlelight in the room was a little dim. Seeing that Emperor Ming Kang was not going to sleep any more, the young eunuch quickly lit up the candles everywhere.

"Send an imperial decree to summon Lin Ruhai and other cabinet ministers, the two dukes, Luo Jinfu of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Wu Kuang of the Imperial Guards, and Min Zhongwei of the Jing Daying to the palace to see the emperor."

The young eunuch was stunned. It might not be a good time to pass on the imperial edict. But he realized that the situation was urgent and there was no need to worry about whether it was a good idea or not.

"Yes!"

After a while, Dai Quan also came to the imperial study. The master had woken up, so there was naturally no reason for him, as a servant, to sleep any longer.

But at this hour, it was really difficult for such an elderly man to get up and serve.

Fortunately, Emperor Ming Kang was not a madman, and he did not blame Dai Quan too much after seeing him. He naturally knew what it felt like to get up at this hour.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, there was another loud noise in the dark night.

Emperor Ming Kang, who was still dozing on the dragon throne, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of coldness. Such a noise had happened a few days ago. It was caused by the explosion of a thunder bomb.

Thunderbolt bombs, a type of high-kill weapon, have always been banned by the imperial court. Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty had already sent people to investigate the batch in the hands of Prince Dongping, but no news has been received so far.

However, judging from the previous clues, it is very likely that it came from Liaodong, and now he also knows the fact that the three towns of Liaodong are still under the control of Jia Hong.

Moreover, Jia Hong's identity was not as simple as he had shown at present. Only people of the same path could be targeted by those people. In other words, Jia Hong was probably also a cultivator. In this way, everything that had happened to Jia Hong since he left the capital made sense. After figuring this out, Emperor Ming Kang even felt a little moved. Jia Hong's origins were traceable. He was born in the Jia Mansion and his real identity was a prince.

He is still not yet of adult age, which means that he has achieved his current achievements only in less than twenty years. Emperor Ming Kang, who knows the truth about the human world, has an immense desire for this power that does not belong to the human world.

He didn't want to be a puppet, nor did he want to engage in petty intrigues with those ministers anymore. Instead, he wanted to be a real emperor, to control the killing in the world, and to create eternal great achievements.

"Dai Quan, do you think the thunder bomb in the hands of the Prince of Dongping came from the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion?"

After a long silence, Emperor Ming Kang suddenly asked slowly.

Dai Quan was still a little sleepy at this time, but when he heard these words, his heart skipped a beat. Thunderbolt, Champion Marquis Mansion, could he have heard it wrong? ?

  The old eunuch who had lived in the palace for decades raised his head in confusion and looked at the master sitting on the dragon throne from afar. What did he want to do?

"Your Majesty, Prince Dongping died at the hands of the Marquis!"

Dai Quan was silent for a while and then said this.

When Emperor Ming Kang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the dim roof. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Dai Quan was right. The princes of the three rebellious princes all died at the hands of Jia Hong. If these people really broke into the capital, the first person to be torn into pieces would be Jia Hong.

So even if Jia Hong had thunder bombs in his hands, he would never give them to these vassal kings.

But in Dakang, apart from Jia Hong, only the palace had access to such a powerful weapon as the thunder bomb.

When he thought of this possibility, Emperor Ming Kang snorted lightly. Not to mention, the possibility that his troublesome sons would send the thunder bomb to Dongping was far greater than the possibility that Jia Hong would send the thunder bomb to the vassal kings.

Seeing that Emperor Mingkang stopped talking, Dai Quan stood there motionless like a clay sculpture. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He was not a fool, and he still had some guesses about what Emperor Mingkang meant just now.

It is still unclear who got the thunder bomb. The secret guards have already started investigating the matter, but there is still no result. This is very telling. Moreover, the only person who got the thunder bomb was Prince Dongping, while the other two princes did not get it. These things are full of weirdness, as if a huge conspiracy has enveloped the entire Dakang.

Compared with the war outside the capital, Dai Quan felt even colder in his heart. Everything that happened when the princes were fighting for the throne was still vivid in his mind. Of course, this was also the scene he least wanted to see.

If those thunder bombs were really the work of the princes, then the situation that Dakang is currently facing would not be that simple.

After a long time, Dai Quan raised his head slightly and looked tentatively at Emperor Ming Kang. Before, he had been silent after answering the questions of the Lord of Da Kang. What he had just thought of, his master must have also thought of it.

In the royal family, such things are even more taboo than rebellion. The previous prince died in such a thing, and the people and forces involved are even more taboo than rebellion.

Unfortunately, even after knowing this, Dai Quan did not see anything unusual on Emperor Ming Kang's face.

Dai Quan's gaze was immediately retracted, and then he buried those little thoughts again. As the confidant of Emperor Ming Kang, he had no other choice in many things. No matter which prince succeeded to the throne, he would probably not let him go in the end.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I don't know how much time had passed when a voice suddenly came from outside the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin and his men are here!!" (End of this chapter)
