Tianqi Imperial Capital, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials have gathered in the main hall, all with solemn expressions. Standing at the front is Prince Yu Murongtang.

for a long time.

Jiang Peiyuan, who had posted the notice in front of Qiankun Gate, hurried over and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, what big thing happened?"

"Yes." Prince Yu nodded and said, "Prime Minister Jiang, please look over there."

Hearing this, Jiang Peiyuan turned around and walked to Qintian Supervisor Zheng Shangguanlin. He looked down and exclaimed: "Isn't this the emperor's Zhengui? How could it become like this?"

Shangguan Lin said with a troubled expression: "Prime Minister Jiang, just now we followed the prince to ask Zhen Gui to take out the box, and when we opened the bronze box, we saw this."

Fang Zicheng also said: "Yes, Prime Minister Jiang, the location of the rockfall is far away from the stone table. Logically speaking, it should not lead to this situation, but now it has indeed happened."

"What!" Jiang Peiyuan exclaimed: "Your Majesty, just now there was a rockfall incident at the Temple of Heaven, and now Zhengui is broken. This matter is not trivial."

"Yes." Prince Yu Murongtang nodded and said: "What Prime Minister Jiang said is true. Zhengui represents the emperor, but now the emperor is in the north. We don't know what happened? What do these two things mean? What are you wearing?"

"I have already sent someone to invite Prince Gong. This matter is of great importance and one more person is needed to discuss it."

Jiang Peiyuan responded: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful. You two are the emperor's uncles. It is naturally best to have you two in charge at this time."

All civil and military officials hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Prime Minister Jiang is right."

Prince Yu said: "Such a big event happened today. Do you have any good ideas? You might as well tell me."

Hearing this, the officials in the palace began to discuss:
"Your Majesty, Zhengui represents the emperor. There was a rockfall just today, and Zhengui also cracked shortly after. Does this... does this... mean that the emperor is in danger in the north?"

"Is there danger? But the northern border has already won a great victory. Where can there be danger?"

"It makes sense. But I can't guarantee whether there will be other accidents?"

"Other accidents? Mr. Li, what do you mean? What other accidents will there be?"

"Master Zhang, don't be anxious, just listen to me. The Northern Territory has always been guarded by Marquis Wu'an, but the emperors of our Tianqi Dynasty have never been on a personal expedition in recent generations. Now the emperor suddenly leads an expedition personally, but he has not yet reached the Northern Territory. However, a great victory has been achieved. Now that the emperor's army is stationed at Linfengdu, there is definitely no safety in the imperial capital. If Dai Yue is unwilling at this time, it may be secretly detrimental to the emperor, which is also possible. "

"Yes, what Mr. Li said makes sense. Da Yue will definitely not dare to do it openly, but there is no guarantee that others will try to do it secretly."

"It makes sense, it makes sense. If Zhengui is cracked, it may mean that the emperor will be assassinated and there will be danger!"

"No, no, what you said is wrong. In the past few days, Dai Viet's main army was guarded by the northern army. How could Dai Viet have more troops to assassinate the emperor?"

"That's right. Besides, although Linfengdu is not as good as God's capital, there are still 20 troops guarding the emperor. How can the Dai Viet traitors succeed so easily. Moreover, after the [-] soldiers of Dai Viet were dismissed, the northern army also Your hands will be free. How can Dai Viet dare to act wantonly at this time?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense, what Mr. Zhao said makes sense."

"But Zhengui represents the emperor. If it doesn't mean that the emperor is in danger. What does it mean?"

"I can't see through it... I can't see through it! But the falling rocks knocked down the altar of worship to heaven and the Zhengui cracked. These are no small things!"

"That's right, how can God's warning happen so easily? Maybe something big has happened in the north, but we haven't received the news yet."

"You're right, you're right. If something big had not happened, the Temple of Heaven had always been fine, how could something like this suddenly happen? You know, in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Tianqi Dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened."· ·····

Listening to the various opinions of civil and military officials, Prince Yu Murongtang remained silent...listening quietly...
For a long time, for a long time.

Prince Yu just spoke: "My lords."

Hearing the sound, the civil and military officials stopped in a hurry and bowed back: "Your Majesty."

Prince Yu said: "I have heard what everyone has just said. We don't know what is happening in the north now, and there is no point in speculating anymore."

Jiang Peiyuan bowed and responded: "What the prince said is true. It seems that we can only understand the situation in the north first and then discuss it. Your prince, what do you think?"

Prince Yu nodded and said, "Well, what Prime Minister Jiang said makes sense. Let's do this. Let's send people to explore the northern border first. If we find the emperor, we will naturally know the situation there. Prime Minister Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Peiyuan nodded in response: "This is the only plan for now."

Prince Yu said: "Prime Minister Jiang, since the emperor has ordered you to supervise the country, it will be up to you to arrange this matter. What do you think?"

Jiang Peiyuan bowed and responded: "Yes, I obey the order. I will arrange for someone to go to the north as soon as possible to understand the situation. As soon as there is news about the emperor, I will inform the prince immediately."

Prince Yu responded: "Okay, then Prime Minister Jiang will be there."

Then he shouted: "All the adults present today, please remember that Zhengui's affairs are not allowed to be spread to outsiders. We will wait for the reply from the north before discussing."

All civil and military officials hurriedly bowed and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Prince Yu said: "The Zhengui incident happened suddenly, and the situation is not clear now, so it is not suitable to ask Master Mingjing. When there is a reply from the north, I will re-arrange the trip to Mount Wutai."

All civil and military officials hurriedly bowed and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Peiyuan bowed and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty. With Your Majesty sitting in the imperial capital, the people can feel at ease. Your Majesty, don't worry. As soon as news comes back from the north, I will inform you immediately."

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the palace: "My lords, I am here to clear up your doubts."

Hearing the sound, all the civil and military officials looked towards the entrance of the palace, and saw Prince Gong Murong An striding into the Hall of Supreme Harmony in court clothes.

Prince Gong Murong An had long since retired and ignored court affairs, so not many people in the court really knew him.

"Hey, who is that?"

"Didn't you see that court uniform? That's a prince's costume. In our Tianqi Dynasty, how many can wear prince's costumes?"

"Oh, yes, yes, besides Prince Yu, there is Prince Gong."

All civil and military officials hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See you, Prince Gong."

Prince Gong Murong An nodded in response: "My lords, please excuse me."

Then he walked towards Prince Yu: "Fourth brother."

Prince Yu Murongtang nodded in response: "Tenth brother, you are here. Have you heard about what happened today?"

Prince Gong said: "Well, I have already heard from Deputy Commander Liu. I have not been in the court for many years. I heard that my fourth brother called me, so I came."

Prince Yu said: "Tenth brother, the matter of worshiping the Temple of Heaven is no small matter. Now the emperor and the queen mother are not in the imperial capital, so I asked you to come over to discuss it together. I disturb your purity."

Prince Gong smiled and said: "Fourth brother is too polite. The elder brother asked the younger brother to come, and the younger brother will naturally come."

Everyone listened, and many looked up to the sky silently. Emperor Zongyuan invited Prince Gong to the palace many times for gatherings, but Prince Gong never accepted the invitation. It seems that the relationship between the elder brother and younger brother is separate, and Prince Gong still followed him. Prince Yu’s brotherhood is better.

Jiang Peiyuan stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Prince Gong, just now you said that you would help us solve our doubts. I don't know what you mean? Please give me some advice."

Prince Gong said: "Yes, that's what I said."

Then he turned around and looked at the palace full of civil and military officials, saying: "When I entered the palace just now, I met these two people by chance. I heard from the two of them that they went to the imperial mausoleum to find Prince Yu, but I heard that Prince Yu After being received into the palace by hundreds of civil and military officials, they rushed to the palace to find someone. I happened to meet them and brought them in. "

Prince Yu looked puzzled and asked: "Who is looking for me? Tenth brother, can the person explain his purpose?"

Prince Gong nodded in response: "Yes, fourth brother, I just heard about their identity and purpose of coming, so I brought them into the palace." Prince Yu said: "Oh, who are they, what's the matter? What? To think that my tenth brother pays so much attention to me."

Prince Gong did not answer. He looked at the civil and military officials again and asked, "My lords, are you curious about who they are? I would actually bring them into the palace."

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony whispered curiously:

"Hey, who is he? He actually asked Prince Gong to speak so solemnly."

"Prince Gong has always ignored government affairs, so the person he can bring into the palace should be a very important person."

"Makes sense, makes sense."

"Hey... Today we are discussing the matter of offering sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven. Prince Gong just said that. Are these two people related to the matter of offering sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven?"

"Yes, it makes sense, it makes sense."

"Prince Gong, from what you say, this person should be very important. Just tell me who he is."

Jiang Peiyuan also bowed and saluted: "Prince Gong, please give me some advice for my subordinates."

"Okay." Prince Gong responded loudly: "Then I will tell you. These two people were sent by Marquis Wu'an in the north. They were ordered by Marquis Wu'an to submit something to Prince Yu. Because the North Something big happened!"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials exclaimed:

"Marquis of Wu'an!"

"It's actually Marquis Wu'an!"

"Prince Gong, what did Marquis Wu'an send?"

"Prince Gong, what big thing happened in the north?"

"Could it be that the Emperor is in danger?"

"Prince Gong, how is the Emperor doing in the north?"

"Prince Gong, I wonder what Marquis Wu'an has sent?"... The palace of Taihe has already exploded.

After a moment, Prince Yu shouted: "My lords, please be quiet for a moment and listen to Prince Gong continue to speak."

Hearing the sound, all the civil and military officials in the palace immediately became quiet, stretched their necks...and pricked up their ears...
Prince Yu said: "Tenth brother, what is going on?"

"Okay, fourth brother, wait a moment." Prince Gong said, "I heard that Marquis Wu'an sent them to find Prince Yu. I also said that Prince Yu was discussing matters in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so he asked them to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to wait. "

"However, these two people told me that the matter was too important to delay! I heard that the king was invited to the palace by my fourth brother, so I begged the king to take them into the palace."

"I am also confused, what is going on? I am so anxious."

"As a result, the two of them actually told me something very shocking!"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials opened their eyes wide...and raised their ears...and their hearts rose to their chests...

Prince Gong smiled inwardly and spoke again: "On the night when Dai Viet paid the capital reduction, Yang Yuqing, the left minister of the Ministry of War, took advantage of the lack of defense in the northern military camp to attack the northern military camp at night and assassinate Marquis Wu'an!"

As soon as the sound fell, the Palace of Supreme Harmony immediately exploded:

"What? Yang Yuqing!"

"What! How dare Yang Yuqing assassinate Marquis Wu'an!"

"But doesn't Yang Yuqing only know some three-legged cat kung fu? What ability does he have to assassinate Marquis Wu'an!"

"Asshole, isn't he the supervisor sent by the emperor to the northern military camp? How dare he!"

"Perhaps Yang Yuqing, relying on his status as a military supervisor, took advantage of Marquis Wu An's unpreparedness and secretly killed him!"

"It makes sense, it makes sense, otherwise with his little three-legged cat skills, how could he possibly hurt Wu Anhou, the man who can kill a thousand swords!"

"That's right, you bastard. The Battle of Tianqi and Dayue has just ended, and Yang Yuqing actually attacked Marquis Wu'an!"

"Prince Gong, how is Marquis Wu'an? Now that Dai Viet's 20 soldiers have just been sent away, Dai Viet is unwilling. If something happens to Marquis Wu An again at this time, what should we do?"

"Asshole, Yang Yuqing is trying to provoke a war between the two countries again!"

"Yes, yes, you bastard!"

"That's not right. The emperor is at Linfengdu now. Why didn't Marquis Wu An go to find the emperor? Instead, he sent people all the way to the imperial capital?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"Prince Gong, what did those two people say? How is Marquis Wu'an doing now?"...

The indignation of the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony has reached an all-time high.

But Jiang Peiyuan and Prince Yu were silent. No, it should be said that they were also extremely shocked at this moment, with dark faces. They all knew that the news about Marquis Wu'an would be sent to the imperial capital today, and they also joined forces with Prince Gong today. , singing this drama together.But he never expected that among the news sent, Yang Yuqing assassinated Marquis Wuan!
However, there were also people in the palace with panic in their eyes. How could the situation become like this?
The expressions of these people all fell into the eyes of Prince Yu, Prince Gong, and Jiang Peiyuan.

Prince Gong shouted: "My lords, we have all underestimated Yang Yuqing. I heard that among the masked men in black who committed the murder that night, Yang Yuqing's martial arts was the best, and he could be called the master among the masters. That night , If the Eleventh Prince hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid Wu’an Marquis would have turned evil. When the soldiers in the north saw that face clearly, they were extremely shocked. It’s really hard to guard against a thief!”

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the palace were even more shocked:
"What? Yang Yuqing's martial arts is so high!"

"Asshole! It turns out that Yang Yuqing has been hiding his strength."

"But why would he do that?"

"Is it possible that his trip to the north was premeditated?"

"No, what you said is wrong. He went to serve as a supervisor in the northern territory but was sent by the emperor's decree. How could he have planned it in advance?"

"Yes, he was sent to the north by the emperor. Then why did he assassinate Marquis Wu'an?"

"This... this... you guys think it's so weird here."

"Yes, why did Yang Yuqing do this?" The discussion in the hall was already boiling.

There are also many people who seem to understand in their hearts, a chill suddenly arises, their faces are solemn, but they dare not speak out...
Prince Yu's face turned darker and he shouted angrily: "Quiet!"

The loud voice, containing strong anger, instantly resounded through the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Hearing this, the civil and military officials trembled for a moment and immediately stopped talking. Prince Yu has always been gentle in his treatment of others. The only time he got angry in my memory was when he was dealing with the embezzlement case of Yunbaijiang repair money. At this moment, Prince Yu was really angry!

The hall of Taihe fell silent instantly, and Prince Yu just asked: "Tenth brother, where are those two people now?"

"Fourth brother, wait a moment." Prince Gong shouted: "Everyone, come in."

Soon, two well-dressed men were seen striding into the hall, each holding a wooden box in his hand.

The two of them came to Prince Yu and bowed and saluted: "Zhang Xingfan and Zhang Ligao are bowing to Prince Yu. We are the deputy commanders of the personal guards of the Marquis of Wu'an. We are sending petitions from the 30 soldiers in the north on the order of Marquis Wu'an." Come to the Imperial Capital.”
