A rapid voice came from the hall, and everyone was startled. Cai Jing and Lin Lingsu glared at each other fiercely at the same time.
From Lin Lingsu's shock, Cai Jing suddenly understood that he was not the murderer.
It was impossible to fake the shock and shock at that moment, but Cai Jing also knew clearly that he himself was not the murderer.
Even if he wants to kill the king, it is not possible now. Now that the situation is unclear, controlling the emperor is the best option.
From the beginning of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the royal family had the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Beidou Division, and the Japanese Directive. There were many talented people here, and there were countless people with advanced levels of cultivation, and they were only loyal to the emperor.
Regicide is the most disgusting move. It is equivalent to reaching a dead end and pushing yourself to the edge of the cliff.
Lin Lingsu was not as shrewd as Cai Jing, so he shouted angrily: "How dare you kill the king!"
"The thief shouts to catch the thief!"
The people on both sides were at war with each other, and a battle was imminent. A group of people who had withdrawn from the tower rushed into the palace.
On the carriage surrounded by them, there was Empress Maode, and the person who led the way was dressed in a crimson civil service, with a gauze-winged hat folded in half, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and walked over in a hurry. It was none other than Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang.
When he saw that Zhang Sanfeng had taken away Li Yu and Maode Diji, he didn't bother to clean up the mess and took people directly to Zhengjingmen to take Maode Diji back.
Zhang Sanfeng and Jin Lian were eager to save Li Yu and had no time to care about him. Li Gang took Di Ji, who also fainted, down the mountain and went straight to the palace.
Who would have known that the palace was even more chaotic than the city walls, with all kinds of corpses lying on the ground, including even the dead corpses of the Imperial Guards.
Li Gang had an impatient temper and was a big troll who even dared to scold the emperor. When he saw this situation, he immediately became furious.
"You are gathering outside the palace gate. You have no superiority. You are planning to rebel against the Grand Master, the Imperial Master." After Li Gang finished reprimanding him, he saw Cai Jing and Lin Lingsu.
He was panicked in his heart. Emperor Maode frequently performed miracles on the tower, which made the official of the Song Dynasty feel proud and proud. With his heart surging, he acted a little recklessly.
The two people in front of me were a prime minister and a national advisor. No matter what they were doing in Daqing Hall with their people, just coming here for a picnic was definitely not something that a little Taichang Shaoqing like myself could do. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "I'll see you later, official."
Passed the Grand Master, the State Master."
Before Lin Lingsu could open her mouth, Cai Jing struck first. Although he knew that Lin Lingsu was not the murderer, he still shouted angrily: "Lin Lingsu has committed regicide and is no longer our national teacher of the Song Dynasty. Everyone can kill him!"
Lin Lingsu counterattacked: "Old thief Cai Jing, you are a slanderer. You have so many evil spirits at your disposal, harboring evil intentions and plotting against His Majesty. It is an unpardonable crime!"
Li Gang's mouth was wide open and he was stunned in place. Your Majesty is dead?
In the bottom of his heart, a trace of joy suddenly emerged. Is there such a good thing?
Then he wanted to give himself a big mouth.
Li Gang, Li Gang, when you read the books of sages, have you read the principles of kings, kings and ministers into the stomach of dogs?
Although His Majesty is ignorant and extravagant, greedy for pleasure, harming the people and the country, and is angry and resentful, he is still the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Li Gang, who was holding himself back from laughing, said loudly: "How can we argue here at this time? As ministers, it is our duty to find the real murderer for Your Majesty!"
After he finished speaking, he looked back at the car curtain, but there was no movement. Li Gang didn't know that Di Ji inside had already fallen asleep.
Li Gang woke everyone up with a word, and a large group of people rushed to the harem without caring about etiquette.
Next to the throne in the emperor's palace, two lamps as tall as one person were shining brightly, making the originally dark hall brightly lit.
Zhao Ji's body was lying upright on the throne, completely dead and lifeless.
The cries of the eunuchs were high-pitched and thin, like a group of mosquitoes and flies gathering together for a meeting.
It can be seen that they are really sad. As the emperor's domestic servant, the chamberlain still has loyalty.
Although Zhao Ji did not become emperor, he was very tolerant and kind to the people around him, so he was very popular among those who served him.
Cai Jing did not dare to offend them. Although he felt noisy, he still stepped forward politely and asked: "Who plotted to kill your majesty?"
Zhao Ji was lying on the throne, his eyes widened, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His face was pale. He must have been frightened before his death. His hands and feet were slumped on the chair without any struggle.
And judging from the fact that his dragon robe was intact and there was no blood except for the corner of his mouth, he probably wasn't injured by a sharp weapon.
Li Cheng, the chamberlain's chief chamberlain, wiped away his tears and cried: "Your Majesty passed away suddenly while sitting on this chair."
Lin Lingsu stepped forward, took a closer look, and sneered: "Could it be that someone poisoned you? It is said that some evildoers in the world love this kind of business, such as the Yulingtang."
Cai Jinggang wanted to speak, but Li Gang stood out from the crowd. Logically speaking, his official position was not high and he did not have the right to speak.
Moreover, the current situation is so weird that normal people would like to become mute and must not get involved rashly.
If you don't have enough status, you may become a victim when the time comes. Keep a low profile and be wise to protect yourself. Wait for the results to come out before you stand in line, so as to ensure the success of being a follower of the dragon.
But Li Gang was crazy on his own, and the bigger the scene got, the more he wanted to express his opinion. He took a closer look at Zhao Ji's body and said loudly: "This matter is too relevant to make any judgments, so as not to mislead the trace of the real culprit. I think I want Beidou Division to
Come, let us all work together to find the real culprit. Of course, there is one more important thing, a country cannot live without a king for a day!"
This sentence suddenly made the situation tense. The emperor is dead, where is the prince?
Whoever brings Prince Zhao Qin first and shouts "Long Live Long Live" will be the first person from Conglong.
And to say the least, the Ligustrum people have not yet withdrawn from the Central Plains. Although they fled Bianliang, they are still in the land of the Song Dynasty.
Countless towns have been broken, and the dead bodies of the people are probably still bleeding. Shouldn't we quickly support a new king at this time, then drive out the Tartars and pacify the place?
Although Emperor Maode showed her splendor at the top of the city, she single-handedly defended Bianliang and repelled countless privet Tatars.
But no one thought about whether she should ascend the throne. Everyone still naturally thought that the prince should ascend the throne.
Lin Lingsu took a step forward and was about to speak when Gao Qiu pulled her back.
He glanced at the dead emperor, his eyelids moved, and he suddenly understood that now was not the time.
Cai Jing watched the unfashionable Taichang Shaoqing jumping up and down, almost as if he had taken control of the situation, giving orders, and there was a faint anger in his heart, but he did not show it.
He coughed lightly, tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, and said in a sad and angry tone: "Li Shaoqing is right, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the truth behind His Majesty's death must be investigated. But at this moment, please follow me to the East Palace to welcome the crown prince as his successor."
Bit!"
With just one word, Cai Jing took all the credit. He had a high status, so he only had to say a word, and the prince would show his appreciation.
Li Gang didn't care about this. His original intention was not to fight for power. There were too many things in the court, and he had to seize the time to stabilize himself. He took a step forward and glanced at the dead Zhao Ji. His Majesty refused to close his eyes, and his panicked eyes showed his helplessness at that time.
Now that the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, His Majesty's death may not be a bad thing for the Song Dynasty.
Cai Jing also looked back, his calculations deepening.
Who is it that braved the disapproval of the world and committed regicide for the first time in the Six Dynasties?
Moreover, he had the ability to kill the emperor in front of the eunuchs.
