Under the order of the crown prince, Xiaowei Chen Guo of the guards immediately ordered to mobilize the guards near the Temple of Heaven. Except for the necessary soldiers who sealed off the gates and main roads, all other troops were mobilized to the Hall of Heaven and surrounded the Hall of Heaven. The officials, gentry, and art troupes in the square were also ordered to wait on the spot and not to move around at will, otherwise they would be killed without mercy. [top^point^novel][]

The prince and a group of officials, under the guard of soldiers, quickly moved to Juxian Hall. The queen looked distraught, but under the persuasion of Zhou Ting and other officials, she left Tiandao Hall and returned to the east of Juxian Hall. In order to prevent the empress from doing stupid things in grief, the prince ordered Liuli to accompany the empress to take care of her.

The emperor was already out of breath. Surrounded by the captain of Shenyi, he covered up a little and transferred the emperor's body to the Juxian Hall for temporary placement. The Tiandao Hall was in a mess. After the prince and everyone evacuated, the guards immediately entered Inside the hall, they began to search every corner of the Temple of Heaven. There were also dozens of Lieutenants in Shenyi who came with them this time. In addition to leaving some to protect the prince, they also sent out a group of guards to search in the Hall of Heaven.

In Juxian Palace, the crown prince obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, his face was bloodless, and his expression was extremely dignified. Zhou Ting and other officials were still in shock, and they looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely suppressed. After a long time, the prince suddenly thought of something, his eyebrows twitched, and he said, "Secret way!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what the prince meant. The prince had already explained: "The assassins arranged by Feng Yuanpo suddenly appeared in the Temple of Heaven. Inside the hall, there must be a secret passage in the Temple of Heaven, which can directly lead to the outside of the Heavenly Palace, and Feng Yuanpo must have escaped through that secret passage."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Zhou Ting had already said, "Your Highness, in this way, is it possible that Chu Huan and the others have also found that secret path?"

"Chu Huan and Chiliandian are both cunning people. Now that I have thought of this, they have already thought of it." The prince sneered and said, "The smoke in the palace makes it difficult for us to see anything clearly, but Chiliandian and Chiliandian Chu Huan is a master of martial arts, so they are not bad at listening to their voices... The guards are guarding the Heavenly Dao Hall, so they naturally know that it is impossible to break out of the Heavenly Palace, so they focus on Feng Yuanpo's chance to escape... ...!"

"What Your Highness said is very true." Lin Yuanfang bowed and said without losing the opportunity: "Since they know that Feng Yuanpo knows the entrance of the secret passage, they naturally know that Feng Yuanpo will use the secret passage to escape. As long as they keep an eye on Feng Yuanpo, there will be opportunity to escape."

Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "Where did General Xuanyuan and Qinglong Qianhu go? And King Jialouluo and His Royal Highness the Princess, where did they go?"

"I'm afraid that Jingyun has already fallen into their hands. Maybe King Jialouluo has robbed Jingyun." The prince's gaze was like a knife, "Xuanyuan's martial arts are strong, and Qinglong is very alert. They must have discovered that Chu Huan wanted to escape, so Pursue the past...!"

Ma Hong immediately said: "General Xuanyuan and Qinglong Qianhu are chasing after them personally, Feng Yuanpo and Chu Huan must be hard to escape, I am afraid that these two traitors will be arrested soon!"

"Why did Chiliandian leave?" The prince glanced at the crowd, "Do you think Chiliandian is chasing down the traitors, or...he wants to leave?"

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to speak.

"Xuanyuan Shao and Yue Lengqiu are loyal to the imperial court, so naturally they are pursuing treason." The prince said slowly: "Whether Chiliandian is loyal or traitor, I don't understand now...!" The tone became more serious, and once again Asked: "Do you think Chiliandian is loyal or traitor?"

The courtiers naturally knew the weight of this sentence. Chi Liandian held a heavy army and was a famous general of the empire who had experienced many battles. Refining electricity has other ideas, and it is undoubtedly a huge disaster for the current state of Qin. The prince is obviously very concerned about this issue.

Relying on the emperor's favor, Lin Yuanfang climbed all the way to today's position, but once the emperor and the courtiers, the emperor died, and the prince will naturally inherit the great rule. As a representative of the new party, Lin Yuanfang once had trouble with the princelings. Knowing that my current situation can be said to be precarious, at this time, I must cater to the prince's thoughts and show favor to the prince, lest the prince settle accounts after autumn, but at this time, I really don't know what the prince is thinking, hesitate, and then think With a horizontal stroke, he went forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I think that Chiliandian must be guarded against!"

"Oh?" The crown prince glanced at Lin Yuanfang, "Master Lin, does it mean that Chi Liandian has different ambitions?"

Lin Yuanfang bit the bullet and said: "Your Highness, Chilian Electric has a heavy army in its hands. It has always supported its own self-respect. Jipingcang, one of the four major granaries in the empire, was once a private warehouse in Liaodong of Chilian Electric...!" After a pause, he glanced at the prince secretly, seeing that the prince was staring at him, he seemed to be listening to himself seriously, and hurriedly said: "If he is loyal to the court wholeheartedly, he will not leave suddenly. Take precautions."

"Your Highness, it is not yet clear whether Chiliandian is loyal or traitorous. If he really harbored evil intentions, he might not have come to the birthday ceremony." Zhou Ting looked solemn, "I think that Chiliandian came to attend the birthday ceremony Li, it shows that at least he still has the imperial court in his heart, or even if he is undecided, he may not necessarily want to rebel...!"

The prince nodded slightly when he heard the words, and Zhou Ting continued: "Before we are sure whether Chi Liandian is loyal or traitor, we would rather believe that he is a loyal minister than force him to go on the road of treason."

The prince said: "Zhou Na's words are the words of the old man seeking the country."

"Your Highness, I believe that the current priority is to control the situation in Hexi as soon as possible." Xue Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said, "The tens of thousands of troops in Hexi, plus the barbarian cavalry, these are soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. If they cannot be controlled in time, they will be defeated by Feng Yuan." The consequences of defeating the tiger and returning to the mountain will be unimaginable... Now we only have the [-] guards under General Xuanyuan, although they are all brave and good at fighting, but once the Hexi army launches an attack, the [-] guards will not be able to resist at all."

Zhou Ting immediately said: "That's right, Your Highness, the Hexi army is capable of fighting well. Once Feng Yuanpo escapes, he will gather the Hexi army to attack Tiangong. At that time, it will be impossible to resist. Feng's father and son have been in Hexi for more than 20 years, and they are deeply rooted. The generals of the army also came out following the Feng family and their sons, and they obeyed Feng Yuanpo, the most important thing right now is not Chiliandian, nor Chu Huan, but Feng Yuanpo...!"

"Report...!"

At this moment, there was a report from outside, the crown prince nodded, someone had already summoned someone in the future, and the one who came in was a lieutenant in Shenyi, the crown prince had already asked: "How is the situation, did you find out about the rebel party? "

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, we are searching the Heavenly Dao Palace. The dungeon where Xuanwu Qianhu was imprisoned has been found, and we are trying to crack the mechanism."

"Oh?" The prince frowned and said, "When will Xuanwu be rescued?"

"The underground prison has many traps, and the design is very ingenious. It is very difficult to crack it in a short time." Captain Shenyi said: "We have already let people who are proficient in traps crack it immediately, but the fastest, it will take three to five." It will be opened in a day's time."

"Since Feng Yuanpo has absconded, there will be no one to supply Captain Xuanwu's food. Whether he will live or die is unpredictable." The prince knows that the four thousand households of Shenyiwei are all independent figures, and Shenyiwei vowed to die. Allegiance to the emperor is the most loyal subordinate. Since the emperor is dead, if there is no accident, he will naturally take over the command of Shenyiwei. , commanded: "You tell them, to rescue Xuanwu at all costs and open the dungeon, the palace will definitely reward you, Xuanwu is loyal to the father and emperor, such a loyal and brave man will also be rewarded heavily!"

"I understand the humble position." Captain Shenyi said.

Zhou Ting wanted to speak, but the imperial officials must not point fingers at Captain Shenyi, so he held back immediately. Fortunately, the prince had already said: "Tell them that Feng Yuanpo probably escaped through a secret way, and you should carefully look for the secret way... ...!" Then he frowned, thinking that since Feng Yuanpo had carefully set up a secret passage, it was naturally extremely secretive, and although Shenyiwei had outstanding abilities and was a master at tracking and handling cases, he might not be able to find that secret passage. easy.

Lin Yuanfang observed his words and expressions. He was a very clever person, and he had already seen the prince's mind. He stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Highness, it may not be easy to find the secret way. I think that there is someone who may have some clues."

"Oh?" The prince immediately asked, "Who?"

Lin Yuanfang said cautiously: "Your Highness, in the west hall of the Immortal Palace, there lives Empress Xuehua. She is Feng Yuanpo's consecratory sage, and she has been bewitching her to make the northern tour. Is it possible that Empress Xuehua was deliberately arranged by Feng Yuanpo? The eyeliner next to the Holy One? If so, Empress Snow Flower may know something that we don't!"

The crown prince and all the officials remembered at this time that there was a Snow Flower Empress in this Immortal Palace. The emperor was on a northern tour, and in the harem, apart from the queen, she was also the only one who accompanied the queen to the harem. concubine.

A cold light flashed across the prince's eyes, and he said lightly: "Since that's the case, invite Empress Xuehua over here!"

He is only the crown prince now and has not yet inherited the great lineage, and Empress Xuehua is the concubine appointed by the emperor. In name, she is the concubine mother of the prince. According to the harem etiquette, the prince should have gone to see Empress Xuehua in person, but he couldn't. Summoned, but at this very moment, when the crown prince summoned Empress Xuehua, everyone did not dare to say a word, and after Empress Xuehua came to Beijing, she confuses the emperor, and the eunuchs around her are even more arrogant and domineering, and they have long been unpopular. People, except for Lin Yuanfang and Ma Hong who are closer to Empress Xuehua, the other courtiers don't have the slightest affection for Empress Xuehua.
