It didn't take a day for the people in the capital to know what happened at the birthday banquet. The first reaction was absurdity!

Everyone was discussing this matter, the original singing and dancing ceremony also stopped, and the trumpets and drums stopped.

Everyone took off their gorgeous clothes one after another, respecting the emperor's fate, and the whole city was plain.

When the white lanterns were hung up, the city was banned for three days at night and the streets became depressed.

Xie Linlang was in the palace, and from time to time he heard someone hurriedly entering the palace and then hurriedly leaving the palace.

But across a wall, she can't see anything. She is not free in the palace's inner courtyard. Especially the palace is still under martial law. There are many masters patrolling in the dark. No one wants to sneak out of the palace. Exceptions were all caught.

Qin Jue was studying the Poison Scripture at this time. No matter what the situation in the country of Ze, whoever became the emperor could not be killed.

Even if he is crazy enough to kill him, he has the ability to protect himself, and the people who come over are coming soon.

At this time, Xie Linlang was re-enacting the previous game with Chang Qiyin.

After the re-engraving, she asked Qin Jue as she went down.

"Which country's envoy is the man who proposed to fight at the banquet in the morning?"

Qin Jue thought for a while and said, "It's the State of Zhou."

Zhou's position was probably between Ze Kingdom and Tianyuan Kingdom. It was a coastal country. It had fought against Ze Kingdom before. It is estimated that there is an old grudge against Chang Qiyu.

Xie Linlang sighed, "There are still too few people who can use it. I haven't found Chang Qiyin's helper yet. After all, he has no power and power, and it is impossible to direct foreign envoys."

Xie Linlang had an inexplicable vigilance towards that potential enemy, perhaps because of the other party's methods, or perhaps because of the somewhat abnormal big guy he had seen before.

Qin Jue calmed her and said, "Lin Lang rest assured, when he leaves, I will let Bai Heng follow him and contact Zhou Guo's secret pile to check him."

Xie Linlang suddenly smiled upon hearing the words.

"You still know what I mean!"

But after laughing, she sighed again, "I heard Lord Ze Kingdom urging the emperor to buy and sell slaves from a long time ago. It's all the same, and with this thought, can they not notice the dark turmoil in the capital?"

Qin Jue heard this and gave her an answer, "When I was a child, a drought in Qianlong killed a lot of people, but there were still people who strongly expressed that the repairs of the Qianlong Palace cannot be stopped, and the progress must be accelerated before conscription."

"Obviously, even princes and ministers, many of them just live in a small world. They only see what they want to see, and only care about what they want. The drought is starving for thousands of miles. Even if they know it, they are not hungry. belly.

The lord who wanted to come to Ze State also thought so. There were slave riots in Ze State every year, so what? They were not the ones who died in the riots. "

Xie Linlang was convinced. In fact, she also understood this idea. As a bystander, she thought they were ignorant, but in them, they might feel that they were doing something more meaningful.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and after nightfall, the quiet streets of the capital seemed to have changed...

Before dawn the next day, the emperor was awakened by the palace people. The reason was simple, because all the slaves in the capital went on strike! No matter how the slave owner flogged, he just didn't move.

Asked why, they even said that Chang Qiyu was wronged, and unless the emperor let Chang Qiyu go, they would strike to the end!

Ask them why they want to ask for Chang Qi Yu.

It turns out that so far, only the prince Chang Qiyu has managed the life and death of slaves, and only he has worked hard to modify the slave law, so the slaves believe that only when Chang Qiyu becomes the emperor can they have a good life!

This is a hornet's nest! The emperor hasn't died yet, so they figured out who they want to be emperor?

The emperor, who had been terribly jealous of Chang Qi Yu, immediately got up from the bed, and his clothes were disheveled, so he rushed into the dungeon, and he scolded Chang Qi Yu!

"Nizi! Are you going to rebel?!"

Chang Qi Yu, who hadn't slept all night, didn't know why.

"Father, what happened?"

"You still have the face to ask what happened!"

The emperor did not dare to go in, only dared to preach through the iron fence.

"All the slaves in the city went on strike, saying that you were wronged, and forced the widow to let you go! Are you wronged? If so, do you need to use slaves to force the widow to let go?!"

Chang Qiyu gradually understood, his expression a bit complicated.

"You said the slave used a strike to force you to spare your children?"

This is nothing short of the world! Who doesn't know that what slaves hate most is Chang Qiyu?

At this time, someone came to report one after another.

"Report-Your Majesty, Lord Dongchen, please see you!"

"Report-Your Majesty! The slave-owner in the city is making trouble and asks your Majesty to let go of the Three Highnesses!"

The successive reports made the emperor's head more and more painful. He stared at Chang Qi Yu and said angrily.

"Those who are acquainted, you immediately stop those slaves! Otherwise, the widows will send soldiers to wash them! If anyone dares to make trouble, he will die!"

After he finished speaking, he left like a gust of wind.

The sky gradually lighted up, and the entire city was full of screams and crying, because the slaves refused to move, the slave owners would naturally not let them go, so they beat them desperately.

The slaves who were originally very obedient, this time somehow, would rather die than do it, and even said when the emperor let Qi Yu come out, and when would they work!

As soon as the slave owner heard that there was a reason, it was impossible for him to really kill him, he jointly asked for his orders and let the emperor let Chang Qiyu go.

After all, in their opinion, it was impossible for Chang Qiyu to kill Chang Qiye on the spot, and they had good senses to Chang Qiyu. As long as he could make the slave obedient, letting him out would not do them any harm.

It's just that they can't help but mutter in their hearts, when did Chang Qiyu have such a high prestige among slaves? Didn't he often get assassinated by slaves before?

When an absurd threat reached Xie Linlang's ears, she knew that Chang Qiyin was about to do it.

It's a pity that the emperor and others could clearly feel the inconsistency, but for various reasons, they stubbornly suspected Chang Qiyu.

They had a fluke mentality, thinking that as long as the slave was beaten, he would be obedient.

As a result, this time, no matter how they fought, the rest remained motionless.

This caused the entire city to panic instantly.

There is no one to deal with the sewage, no one to pull fibers and move goods at the wharf, no one to transport rice and vegetables, no one to drive a cart to feed horse pulp to wash clothes.

Because slave labor is extremely cheap, many of the things that people in the city don't want to do are handed over to slaves. Now if they strike, can they still have it? The entire city suddenly became misty and messy.

Only then did the people realize the importance of slaves to them, and begged the emperor to let Qi Yu come out.
