Chapter 248
The Jingcha incident has lasted for three days. During these three days, many officials were arrested.

This matter has already involved officials of the fourth and fifth ranks, and if it goes up, it will be the real court officials, all of whom are officials at the first level of the six ministers.

For a while, the officials in Beijing and China were panicked.

At first, everyone put their hopes on the princes, but since Shen Du took them away in front of the fourth prince, everyone realized that even the princes could not keep them at this moment.

Since that incident, the fourth prince has stayed behind closed doors.

However, gradually, some ugly rumors spread among the people.

The prince listened to the words of the traitor Shen Du, arrested officials wantonly, and even massacred innocent people.

As for whether innocent people were killed or not, most people actually don't know.

If people from the rivers and lakes and the children of those aristocratic families are also considered common people.

For a time, various rumors spread everywhere.

No one knows exactly how these rumors spread, but in just one night, they spread throughout the whole of Gyeonggi, and even in every state.

All this seems to have been premeditated.

Most of the people are ignorant, and many of them don't even know a few big characters. They only know that they are the people of Yan Kingdom, and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair is named Xia, that's all.

As for the more complicated court situation, the people who can't even eat enough to eat obviously don't think so much.

Only the people living in Yanjing City understand the matter of princes vying for the throne, after all, they live at the feet of the emperor.

Under this rumor, various natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past 20 years have been attributed to the prince's innocence.

It was the prince who did something wrong, and the disaster was brought down by the heavens, and they couldn't get enough to eat.

This idea spread from place to place.

The aristocratic families are all over the place, it is not just as simple as controlling private soldiers, they also affect all aspects of the people of a state.

The exploitation of the aristocratic family, in the eyes of most people, is that the imperial court is oppressing them.

Even if the Son of Heaven has no way, most of the time he can only be forced to issue a sinful edict.

And the prince's innocence is to trust the treacherous minister-Shen Du.

When everyone thought about it, it seemed that since the prince took power, life seemed to be really hard.

Since others are scolding, they will follow suit.

Anyway, it's just a discussion, and they can't all be taken to prison.

What's more, it was only a treacherous minister trusted by the prince, and there were even rumors that the prince had already been controlled.

Similar news circulates between various state capitals.

……

Shen Du received the information early in the morning.

Looking at the information on the table, he realized that these honorable families could not sit still after all.

They are far more eager, ruthless, and decisive than they imagined.

Once the prince's Jingcha is checked to the bottom, it will be a blunt knife to cut flesh, they can only wait to die, and most of their power in the central government and the state capitals will be cut off.

These honorable families will certainly not really want to kill them, and the final result can only go in the direction that everyone least wants to see.

Public opinion and rumors are only the first step!
Everything depends on a teacher who is famous, and it is impossible for them to flagrantly rebel.

Although the common people are ignorant, this country of Yan was established by generations of old Yan people, and few people would really follow to rebel.

The Xia family's throne has been in place for more than 200 years, not to mention as stable as Mount Tai, but in the past 200 years, it is generally good. Every emperor is not incompetent, nor has he done anything that angers people.

Therefore, they will most likely use the slogan of coming to Beijing to work hard.

It's just that the prince is still here...

As soon as this thought came up, Shen Du's expression suddenly changed.

"boom!"

At this moment, a frightening aura suddenly erupted from the direction of the Eastern Palace in the distance.

Dharma!

The aura appeared so abruptly that no one could react.

In an instant, everyone only felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, and at the same time felt an inexplicable palpitation in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, a roar spread throughout Beijing.

"presumptuous!"

"Dare you!?"

Shen Du recognized that it was the voice of Lu Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace.

"not good!"

Shen Du thought about turning around, immediately got up and jumped up, and hurried towards the direction of the East Palace.

And in the distance, there was already a figure chasing a vague figure straight out of the city.

Although it wasn't very real, Shen Du could still recognize that it should be the six door gods arresting Xiang Jingxing.

Almost at the same time, several powerful auras erupted in Beijing, heading straight for the East Palace.

One after another figures came speeding towards him.

At this moment, there was already a mess in front of the Eastern Palace, and the densely packed Eastern Palace guards were lying in a pool of blood.

There are stumps and broken arms all over the place, and there is almost no intact body.

As soon as Shen Dugang fell, Cui Jingsheng and Zhan Hongling also rushed over.

There were no extra words, but his face was solemn and even more angry.

This is blatantly provoking Dayan's majesty!

Blatantly attacking the East Palace, what kind of place is this place?
Who was it just now?

Not far away, some Jianghu people were watching from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

These people are all in the Yuanshen realm, and their strength is not weak, so they have the courage to come here.

Looking at the scene in the distance, everyone was shocked.

The East Palace was attacked?
They will never perceive the aura just now wrongly, it is clear that someone from the Dharma Vision Realm made the move.

Who is so bold?

Attacking the East Palace, do you want to die?
There are countless Dharma experts in the world, but the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have a strong background and may have more.

Could it be someone from Shaolin?

But even if Shaolin wanted revenge, he should go to Shen Du.

Choosing this time to attack the East Palace, it is easy for people to link it with the recent turmoil of the Jingcha incident.

Everyone knows that Jingcha has touched the core interests of various honorable families.

Just when everyone was about to step into the East Palace, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the East Palace gate.

Lu Chengen held the blood-dripping long sword, blood was flowing from his chest, and a hideous wound was opened.

He looked a little embarrassed, and the breath on his body was extremely chaotic, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

Since the last time he performed the "Dafa of Disintegration of Heavenly Demon", his injuries have not fully recovered, and now they are obviously worse.

Shen Du frowned and stared at him without saying a word.

This injury cannot be faked...

It's just all too coincidental.

He always felt that the prince shouldn't be so careless.

Seeing the crowd coming, Lu Chengen glanced at them coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness ordered the entire city to be under martial law. From now on, no one is allowed to set foot in the East Palace."

"Violators, behead!"

Hearing what Lu Chengen said, everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to bow their hands.

"Yes!"

It's just that everyone can't help but have a doubt in their hearts.

What happened to the prince?

It's just that Lu Cheng'en is the servant of the East Palace after all, and at such a critical moment, no one dares to ask anything.

Shen Du took a deep look at Lu Chengen, didn't say anything more, just turned and left.

Although the assassination of Donggong was not widely spread, it still fell into the ears of many people.

For a while, many officials from the court asked to see him, but they were all refused by the guards of the Eastern Palace.

Even the cabinet elders were turned away.

Some of these people are sincere, while some people have already had other thoughts.

For a while, the atmosphere in Beijing also became weird.

Shen Du returned to the main helm of Gyeonggi, as if he had forgotten about it, and continued to arrest officials.

……

north,

Xiongwu Pass.

On the desolate land, the snow was all over the sky, and a thick layer fell.

The mighty Xiongguan standing on the ground seems to be integrated into the vast snow.

This place is the border between the Yan Kingdom and the Northern Barbarians, and there are a total of 20 soldiers here.

These 20 soldiers are the elite cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, and they have been guarding this place for decades.

It is precisely because of the existence of this grand pass that the northern barbarians were unable to go south in a large scale.

If this pass is broken, the northern barbarian army will be driven straight in, all the way down to Gyeonggi.

As for other regions, even if the northern barbarians invaded, they would still need to pass through various state capitals. The battle line was too long, and the cost would be huge.

With this pass, you can support everywhere at any time, and at the same time, you can go out and go straight into the hinterland of the Northern Man.

If the Northern Man really sent a large number of troops to Rao Dao southward, the soldiers and horses here could break through the Northern Man royal court within two days.

In addition to this pass, there are countless bunkers in the nearby junction, which are responsible for warning.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a violent roar from the distant land.

The earth trembled!

The snow is sweeping!

The howling wind and snow seemed to be blown away.

In the wind and snow, Yiqiqi's blurred figure slowly emerged, and the iron-blooded evil spirit swept over.

"Huh!"

"Hoho!"

Passionate shouts overwhelmed each other.

"when!"

"Dangdang!"

Above Xiongguan, the melodious bells were rung.

"The northern barbarians are attacking!"

"The northern barbarians are attacking!"

The hysterical roar echoed on the city wall.

The beacon of the order was ignited, and thick smoke ignited.

Countless soldiers climbed onto the city wall, watching the army appearing in the distance with vigilance.

The sound of armor colliding sounded.

A burly and majestic figure quickly walked up the city wall.

Along the way, many soldiers saluted one after another.

This person is the guard of the Xiongwu Pass here, and the master of the 20 army.

Looking at the densely packed soldiers below the city, Lu Kuangge's pupils suddenly shrank.

Under the majestic pass, the eight banners gathered together!

The Eight Parts of the Northern Barbarians!

"General, what is Beiman trying to do?"

The lieutenant on the side was shocked.

It's not that they haven't fought with the northern barbarians before, but they were all small troops.

They are training soldiers, and the northern barbarians are also training soldiers, but there are at least 20 people who are here today.

These are the elite soldiers and horses of the Golden Horde Khanate.

The critical moment is the Eastern Season, and everyone knows that this is definitely not a good time to start a war.

At this time, a figure slowly rode out from the army of the northern barbarians. His burly body was dressed in a tiger-like beast robe, and he held a two-meter-long sword in one hand, and his evil spirit overflowed.

Lu Kuangge's pupils shrank slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Northern Man Zuoguli King, Yeluqi!"

Yeluqi, as King Zuoguli of the Northern Man, controlled most of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Man royal court.

The reason why the Wanyan clan of the Golden Horde was able to have extremely high dominance over the eight tribes was due to the strong soldiers and horses of the Golden Horde.

"Ha ha!"

Yeluqi laughed loudly and said, "Lu Kuangge, we meet again!"

Lu Kuangge said coldly: "Yelüqi, as long as I'm here, you, the Northern Barbarian, can't even think of stepping into this place."

Yeluqi laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "General Lu, you are wrong."

"This king is here, just to catch up with you."

reminisce?

Lu Kuangge sneered in his heart, did anyone bring a hundred thousand soldiers to reminisce about the old days?

Yeluqi didn't intend to explain much, but ordered the generals to set up camp ten miles away.

Seeing that the northern barbarian army began to set up camp, everyone in the city was puzzled.

Lu Kuangge stared intently at the distance, frowning.

In the past, when the northern barbarians went south, they looted the surrounding area with lightning speed, but this time it was uncharacteristically.

……

At the same time, at the border between Western Chu and Yan, in front of Sufeng Pass, the same scene was taking place.

The army of Western Chu marched forward in a mighty manner, stirring up yellow sand all over the sky.

Shen Dingzhi stood on the city wall, looking at the densely packed army with a dignified expression.

What does Xi Chu want to do?
After the Western Chu army came ten miles away from Sufengguan, they stopped moving forward and began to set up camp.

This scene fell in Shen Dingzhi's eyes, making him even more puzzled.

"wrong……"

Shen Dingzhi's face changed suddenly, and an idea suddenly came to him inexplicably.

Xichu would never send a large army here for no reason, and this posture didn't look like a siege, but more like a deterrent.

Making it impossible for him to leave this place, under normal circumstances, he would never leave Sufeng Pass unless...

"There are changes in Beijing!"

Shen Dingzhi blurted out, his face became extremely ugly in an instant.

Shen Dingzhi looked at the lieutenant general at the side, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Nightingale, let them find out the information in Beijing as soon as possible."

……

Xiazhou,

Like Suzhou, this place is also a border state capital, close to Western Chu.

The only difference is that the geographical location of this place is not as important as Sufengguan.

And the gatekeeper here is none other than King Jing'an, Xia Xingrui.

Inside the guard's mansion,

Xia Xingrui, who was sitting alone on the chair, looked at the information in his hand and let out a heavy breath.

Great changes in Yanjing!

The simple four words, but he understands what they mean.

He knew very well in his heart that once this step was taken, there would be no turning back.

Although it wasn't really a rebellion, there was basically no difference between this matter and a rebellion.

"Father, we have been preparing for so long, why are you still hesitating?"

"What's more, didn't that person already give the news, Emperor Yan had a problem long ago."

"As long as you give an order, those old ministries of yours will definitely follow you."

Xia Ming said with a gloomy expression: "Father, even if you don't want to, the crown prince will never let us go."

"It's a knife when you stretch out your hand, and it's a knife when you shrink your head!"

"Don't forget about my little sister. The prince sent you here for a lowly mud leg, and even ordered my little sister to be grounded. Why?"

"It's obvious that they are unkind first, so don't blame us for being unrighteous."

He knew that his father was somewhat concerned about human feelings.

Therefore, he had to add fuel to the fire to help his father make up his mind.

"Oh!"

Xia Xingrui slammed his fist on the table, his eyes turned cold, he stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Send the order to the whole army!"

"Let's go, go back to Beijing!"

"King Qin!"

He knew that from this moment on, there would be no turning back.

Success or failure is here!
 Sorry, I got stuck yesterday, so I didn’t update.Happy Tanabata everyone!
