'Something goes terribly wrong...'

Zhao Cuo looked stiffly as several secret guards from the East Palace stepped forward to inspect the body of Prince Qi. If he said he was not panicking now, that would be absolutely false. The death of this stupid pig could be somehow related to him.

If this big hat is really placed on his head later, and the King of Qi asks him to sacrifice his life for his life, how will the Dayu court choose?

During the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo advocated the reduction of vassals, which forced many princes and kings to revolt. They issued the slogan "The Qing Emperor will kill Chao Cuo on his side." Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to kill Chao Cuo. If the seven vassal kings of Dayu also shouted "

When the Qing dynasty attacked Zhao Cuo, how should he deal with it?

"Report to the Queen Mother."

The secret guard of the East Palace carefully examined the body of the Prince of Qi and gave the result in public.

"The Crown Prince of Qi died from the injury of his head hitting a stone. There was no other fatal cause. This may have been an accident."

It sounds like the Crown Prince of Qi can only blame himself for his misfortune, but no one here dared to breathe a sigh of relief. How the Crown Prince of Qi died is not important at all. The question is what the King of Qi would think and what the seven kings would think.

!

Even though this accident happened in the eyes of almost all the nobles in the capital, it was hard to explain why it was just yellow mud falling off the crotch.

To finish.

"You will collect the body of the Prince of Qi first. Tomorrow's court meeting will be changed to the usual morning meeting to discuss how to properly handle this matter."

Empress Dowager Zhao gave orders with a cold face.

"Emperor, please write a letter in your handwriting and tell the King of Qi exactly what happened with eight hundred miles of expedited speed."

"My son, I accept the decree."

Emperor Yongzhao saluted with his hands turned pale.

"Let's just stop here tonight. As long as you have a good New Year, the sky won't fall."

After Empress Dowager Dayu said this in an understatement, she turned around and walked down from the viewing platform, got on the royal sedan and left the terrace.

"My lords, please follow our instructions and leave the palace in an orderly manner."

The secret guards of the East Palace who stayed behind to control the overall situation began to evacuate the shocked dignitaries.

"Wrong..."

Zhao Shangxin walked to his brother's side calmly, without saying anything, he just took his hand and followed the team out of the terrace.

"Sister, don't worry."

Zhao Cuo squeezed her hand and said softly.

"The Queen Mother will definitely be able to deal with this unexpected disaster."

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

Miss Zhao responded with a slightly trembling voice, obviously thinking that her baby might be imprisoned for this matter, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her fair forehead.

Seeing this, Zhao Cuo could only calm down.

Until I got on the official sedan chair back home.

"What a disaster!"

Zhao Shangxin and his brother sat next to each other, and hugged his hand tightly with a pale complexion. Zhao Cuo could feel her fierce heartbeat through the huge barrier.

"How could such a disaster happen on such a good New Year's Eve? Even though the deceased was too important to remember the prince of Qi anymore, why did this despicable person want to harm you when he was just seeking his own death?"

"I am not to blame for the death of the Crown Prince of Qi. Don't panic, sister. Just live this year as usual."

Zhao Cuo patted her hand and comforted her.

"What if King Qi insists on blaming you for this?"

Miss Zhao said with her eyebrows furrowed.

"The seven vassal kings did the opposite three hundred years ago. If they seize this opportunity to declare to the court that they want my brother to sacrifice their lives, otherwise they will raise troops to serve the king. This war cannot be fought due to internal and external troubles. The queen is really

What should I do if I hand you over?"

She is not an ordinary boudoir lady, but she still sees clearly the general trend of the world today. Dayu has the ability to quell the Seven Kings of Cholera, but after this battle, the Demon Court will definitely go south. After the internal strife, what can the human race do to resist foreign aggression?

"How could the empress let me die for crying out for injustice?"

Of course Zhao Cuo said this to comfort his sister.

To be honest, he wasn't sure what the female devil would do.

If things develop to an irreversible point, she must care more about her own rule and the Yu world than his little lover, right? Kill him to get a chance to stabilize the overall situation. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the bad woman will

how to choose.

"If something goes wrong... Er, just follow your sister to Xunshan Academy and hide."

Zhao Shangxin clenched her fists and said, Zhao Cuo didn't reply, he only raised his hand and hugged his sister's shoulders.

A frightening and turbulent night passed by in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Zhao did not receive the summons for the morning court the next day, so he did not attend the morning court.

"So the decision of the court meeting is to send the body of the Prince of Qi back and compensate the King of Qi with some money? What else can he ask for?"

Zhao Cuo learned the outcome of the matter when he went to Su Chengji's house to pay New Year's greetings the next evening. He knew that the matter was far from over, and everything still depended on Qi Guo's reaction.

Time soon came to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

He received the imperial edict.

"See the Queen Mother."

Young Master Zhao walked into the Chaotian Palace among the ranks of civil servants. He had already received a lot of pitiful looks just by saluting.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, please read King Qi's reply."

The cold voice of Queen Mother Zhao came from behind the bead curtain at the top.

"yes."

A veteran minister with gray hair on his temples came out holding a letter.

'King Qi is really going to attack me, right?'

Zhao Cuo was prepared from the vague glances of many officials from the Ministry of Rites.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi cried out in the letter about the pain of the death of his son. He could not accept that this was just an unexpected incident. The prince wanted to invite Mr. Zhao to go to Guangyuan City, the capital of Qi State, to explain to him personally the details of the death of the crown prince. This is one of them.

"

'Then I will also die like the prince of Qi?'

Zhao Cuo believed that he and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had gone together. He did not make a sound, but just stood there with a calm face.

"continue."

The cold voice of Queen Mother Dayu once again reached the ears of the ministers.

"The second is..."

The Minister of Rites was sweating on his forehead when he said this.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi said that his prince loved Jiangnan the most during his lifetime. He wanted to bury his beloved son in a city in Jiangnan and begged the empress to incorporate half of Jiangnan into the fiefdom of Qi..."

"hiss!"

Some of the courtiers who had just learned about the contents of King Qi's letter suddenly took a breath! They all had angry expressions on their faces, and the mood was furious.

"What do you think?"

The Queen Mother's still cold voice came down, and she seemed to have no emotion just listening to it, but everyone in the Chaotian Palace could feel her thunderous fury.

"The King of Qi is so bold! He dares to take this opportunity to ask for a fief from the imperial court! Is this unreasonable?"

"Jiangnan Mansion is the money bag of the country, don't say half of it! Don't give up an inch of land to the seven kings!"

"What should we do if the seven vassal kings rebel again?"

An old minister sighed and silenced the ministers with just one sentence.

"This battle cannot be fought..."

Sima Yu, the Minister of Punishment, suddenly walked out of the queue and said, gritting his teeth.

"If the seven kings rebel, the imperial court will be unable to fight against the demon court. It is now a matter of life and death! King Qi must agree to at least one of these two requests. If not, he will ask Young Master Zhao to visit Qi. The only way to calm the king's anger is

Only then can we get through this!"

As soon as he said these words, Chaotian Palace fell into deathly silence, and then an astonishing murderous intention that almost made the air freeze instantly poured out from behind the bead curtain! It directly suppressed Sima Yu, the Minister of Punishment, and fell to his knees!
Chapter completed!
