The prince was stunned and said: "It turns out that Suzaku has been in the White House all along."

"The Bailou is the heart of Shenyiwei, and Lord Wei doesn't keep his hands inside the Bailou all the time." Xuanwu explained: "So one of the important missions of Suzaku Qianhu is to guard the Bailou."

The prince pondered for a while, and finally said: "Send someone back to the capital to see if you can contact Suzaku, and ask her to find the files about Feng Hanxiao from the White House, especially the files about the Battle of Changtian Valley. If you keep it, send it over as soon as possible."

Xuanwu said: "Humble position, follow orders."

"Besides, there is another important thing for you to do in this palace." The prince said in a low voice: "After Chi Liandian escaped from Tiangong, he has never been seen. Walk by, if Bengong guessed correctly, this Chibei should be Chiliandian who has already made arrangements to come and meet him."

Xuanwu said: "Your Highness, what you mean is that Chi Lian Dian has been taken away by Chi Bei?"

"There is a possibility." The prince said: "So I ordered you to send people to Liaodong to investigate the situation of Chiliandian... If possible, you can assassinate him!"

Xuanwu's expression suddenly became serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "I take orders from a lowly position."

"There are many good generals under Chi Liandian's command, but they may not be monolithic." The prince said slowly: "Chi Liandian knows that his father has passed away. If he is still alive, he may pose a great threat to the palace. Liaodong Army It has become a confidant's serious trouble... I ordered you to go to Liaodong to find out all the information about the important generals under Chi Liandian's command. Yes, the files of these people should also be archived in the White House. People also took out the intelligence of these people."

Xuanwu said: "If His Highness is determined to assassinate Chi Liandian, I am willing to go to Liaodong in person... After all, Chi Liandian has made great military achievements. Today, if he really escapes and returns to Liaodong, he must be strict with his own safety." To take precautions, to assassinate him, one must formulate a careful plan, and if one misses, it will be difficult to have another chance."

The prince was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and then said: "What is Chi Liandian thinking now, it is difficult for me to fully guess. He had a lot of friendship with me back then, and even had the favor of teaching me... Liaodong Army If he becomes an opponent, it will be a huge calamity, but if he can be loyal to me, it will also be my biggest help in suppressing the rebellion...!"

Xuanwu said: "If that's the case, the humble official has an idea!"

"you say!"

"Before Chi Liandian has made a move to rebel against the imperial court, the imperial court does not need to do anything at present. The humble staff will ask people to carefully inquire about the situation in Liaodong." Xuanwu said: "At the same time, the humble staff will start to formulate an assassination plan. If it is longer, the possibility of success will be greatly increased, and when Chi Liandian really rebels against the imperial court, the humble official will launch an assassination plan, and strive to hit him with one blow!"

The prince said: "That's fine, Xuanwu...!"

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Report to His Royal Highness, Shen Yushi asks to see you!"

The prince was startled, frowned and said, "Which Shen Yushi?"

"Master Shen Ke Qiushen, the right imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." The visitor reported, "They have just arrived. According to him, they came from the capital...!"

The prince's face has changed, and his eyes showed excitement: "Is it Shen Keqiu? Quick, let him come to see Ben Gong!"

When the mob rushed into the capital, the whole capital was in chaos. Madam Liuli took the crown prince out of the capital before the fall of the capital for the sake of safety. Countless officials have been killed by the mob, and among them are many members of the princeling party, which is the talent reserve accumulated by the prince over the years, and suffered heavy losses in one dynasty.

Fortunately, many important officials in the DPRK accompanied them on the northern tour, and they retained a bit of vitality at that time. Now the prince is using these officials who accompanied him on the northern tour to rectify the government affairs in Hexi.

Shen Keqiu was one of the important figures in the princeling party back then, and he did not accompany him on the northern tour. He was quite talented and loyal to the prince. The arm suddenly had the possibility of being resurrected from the dead, and I was overjoyed.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and the prince stared outside the gate. The first person to come in was Xue Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, followed by a group of people, at least thirteen or four people. In comparison, that group of people looked disheveled, and half of them didn't even have hats. Although the prince's legs were not working well, his eyes were still very sharp. Shen Keqiu, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the procuratorate.

Although Shen Keqiu was still wearing a hat, it was already worn out. When he saw the prince sitting in a wheelchair, he quickened his pace and rushed up, knelt down on the ground, his voice choked up: "The old minister pays homage to His Highness, Your Highness... ...!" For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

A group of people behind him also knelt down one after another. Seeing this group of high-ranking officials of Daqin, but now they are all in such a mess, the prince was very moved, and raised his hand and said: "Everyone, get up and talk, Shen Yushi, get up, everyone!" Get up, you have suffered along the way...!"

Xue Huai'an stepped forward to support Shen Keqiu, and everyone else got up one after another. The prince had already said loudly: "Come on, sit down, let's have some tea!"

There are already several big chairs in this hall, the crown prince obviously felt that it was not enough, the attendant moved the chairs immediately, everyone was still a little hesitant, but the crown prince has already kindly said: "You don't need to be formal today, all of you sit down and talk...!" Eyes After scanning, he found that most of them were high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and half of them were members of the princeling party. He knew the talents of these people, and suddenly this group of people came, which immediately made the prince, who was struggling to employ people, feel better.

"You all came here from the capital?" The crown prince said, "Lord Shen, what is the situation in the capital now?"

Shen Keqiu's face suddenly showed grief and anger, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the current capital is no longer prosperous, and mobs are burning, killing and looting in the city. My majestic capital of the Qin Kingdom is now a fiery purgatory...!" Clenching his fists, he said with a broken heart: "The people in the capital are like fish and meat, being slaughtered...!"

An official next to him was also full of grief and anger: "The gang of rioters entered the city, set fire everywhere, killed everyone they saw, and robbed everything they saw. The entire capital, streets and alleys, are full of corpses, and the stench of corpses is so strong that it can be heard everywhere...!"

"Where's the imperial city?" The prince asked: "The imperial city is guarded by the guards led by Zhan Yi...!" Having said this, he didn't continue.

It is true that although the imperial city is high and strong, and there are thousands of guards led by Zhan Yi to guard it, but under the overthrow of the nest, there will be no eggs. The entire capital has become a Shura hell. can survive?

Although Yingyuan is not a lecherous king, there are still many concubines in the harem. Even the palace maids and eunuchs, there are five or six thousand people in the entire imperial city.

Once the imperial city is breached, no one will be left behind.

Although the Imperial Guards were brave, they were no more than a thousand strong, and once the imperial city was besieged, their supplies would be cut off, and they would be able to trap the people in the imperial city to death without attacking.

Everyone's expressions were already gloomy, Shen Keqiu smiled wryly and said: "His Royal Highness, as far as I know, the gates of the imperial city have always been closed, and those mobs have indeed launched attacks on the imperial city many times, but none of them succeeded... However, seeing that the imperial city could not be attacked, the mob simply set up tents around the imperial city, and heard that they wanted to trap the people in the imperial city to death."

Xue Huai'an frowned and said: "The imperial city is besieged, there are nearly ten thousand people in the city, and there will not be too much food and water stored...!" His eyes were full of worry: "I am afraid that there will be a shortage of food in the imperial city. ,The consequences could be disastrous."

The imperial city is the residence of the royal family. The palace is like clouds, majestic and magnificent, but there is not much food stored. The nobles in the palace eat fresh food, so fresh food will be delivered every day In the palace, the mob rushed into the capital, and the incident happened suddenly. Naturally, it was impossible to store too much food in time in the palace.

"Your Highness, those mobs are no better than animals." An official said in a trembling voice with tears streaming down his face at this time: "The minister's family did not escape this disaster, the mansion was burned to the ground by them, and the whole family Young and old were burned alive in the mansion."

"After they captured many officials, they beheaded them, then strung them up on bamboo poles, and stood them on the street. They couldn't see the ends at a glance." Another official lamented: "Many officials' wives Miss He, after being insulted, was forced to strip naked, lined up naked, and paraded in the streets and alleys... Your Highness, you must send troops to kill those mobs."

The prince can naturally imagine the tragic situation in the capital, he sighed, the corners of his eyes twitched, and asked: "Yes, how did you escape, and how did you get here? Where is Grand Master Xu, why didn't you come with you?"

Shen Keqiu hurriedly said: "It's thanks to Shenyiwei. We were all rescued by Shenyiwei who stayed in the capital. At that time, the situation was chaotic and there were mobs everywhere. After Shenyiwei rescued us, we couldn't get out for a while. The city, so we hid in the city for the time being... Later, looking for an opportunity, Shen Yiwei asked us to disguise ourselves, so we sneaked out of the city."

"It's Shenyiwei?" The prince was startled, and then thought that Suzaku Qianhu was still in the White House and was still in the capital. If there were no accidents, it should be Suzaku Qianhu who saw the critical situation and sent people to rescue the group. Officials, after all, Shenyiwei has too few manpower to save too many people. It is not easy to rescue these ministers.

"Exactly." Shen Keqiu said: "After we left the city, there were several Shenyi guards who escorted us all the way to Hexi, but after arriving outside the city, they left and returned to the capital... The Holy One set up Shen Yiwei back then. It really was a wise move, if it wasn’t for Shen Yiwei’s rescue this time, none of us would be able to get out of the capital.” After a pause, he asked: “Yes, Your Highness, is the Holy One still in the Heavenly Palace? Ask Xue Butang, but Xue Butang asked us to meet His Highness first!"

The prince knew that he couldn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it from these ministers, so he said with a sad expression: "Father has passed away, and the dragon body is now staying in the Heavenly Palace!"
