When Feng Qingchen returned to Feng Mansion, he was treated like a star. Feng Qingchen was surrounded from top to bottom and it was very lively. However, the situation in the Nine Emperors Uncle and the Nine Princes Mansion was completely opposite.
There was a gloomy and depressing atmosphere throughout the Nine Princes' Mansion. After the housekeeper learned that Uncle Nine Emperors had returned to the city safely, he did not go out to greet him. Instead, he led the Nine Princes' Mansion up and down and knelt in the outer courtyard.
As soon as Uncle Nine Emperors walked in, he saw everyone in the Nine Princes' Mansion headed by the housekeeper. If you count them carefully, you will find that there are a lot of people missing here.
Uncle Nine Emperors knew very well about the missing people. He glanced at them coldly and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." The old housekeeper stood up tremblingly. His face seemed much older than before. The servants behind him also lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
The remaining people were regarded as die-hard loyalists to Uncle Nine Emperors. Even if Uncle Nine Emperors' life and death were unknown, they did not betray them. Of course, Uncle Nine Emperors would not blame these people. He asked the old housekeeper to reward everyone and then signaled to everyone.
Back off.
The servants can get rewards because they are loyal, but the old housekeeper can't get rewards because he can't manage well.
"What's going on?" Uncle Nine Emperors asked as he walked inside.
"Replying to the prince, it was a small oversight. Seven people were found in the mansion, two of them were from the emperor, and the rest were from Xiling, the Queen, and His Royal Highness Prince Luo. The remaining two were killed by Zhou Wang and Cui afterwards.
Family buy-out."
"Seven? You are indeed old." Uncle Nine Emperors was dissatisfied.
There are only a few servants in the Nine Prince's Mansion. Everyone is checked frequently and repeatedly to find out three generations of their ancestors and have someone to vouch for them before they can enter the manor.
These people are all managed by the old housekeeper, but under the old housekeeper's nose, so many spies have been inserted, which shows that the old housekeeper has seriously neglected his duty.
The old housekeeper knew that he had made a mistake and knelt down again: "I am willing to ask the prince to punish me."
"You are getting old, go to Zhuangzi to retire." Uncle Nine Emperors left these words and walked away without looking back.
The old housekeeper got up from the ground, unable to stand upright, but he couldn't say a word to beg for mercy.
This time something happened to Uncle Nine Emperors, and he was in chaos. If it weren't for his poor management, things wouldn't have become so serious. He is indeed old, and he always thinks about what to do if something happens to Uncle Nine Emperors.
what to do.
When Uncle Nine Emperors returned to his room, his servants had already prepared hot water. After Uncle Nine Emperors took a bath and changed clothes, he took a carriage to the palace.
At this time, everyone in the palace also received the news. The originally joyful palace banquet suddenly became quiet. No matter it was the emperor or the officials, everyone's expression changed.
Uncle Nine Emperors is not dead? How is this possible?
A flash of shock flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he glanced at Fu Lin quickly. Fu Lin nodded slowly, indicating that the news was true.
The emperor's pupils suddenly dilated, and he sat upright involuntarily. Then he returned to his normal state and said to the ministers in a gentle tone: "I have just received good news."
Good news, what good news?
All the officials looked at the emperor. Some of them were good at flattering him and even came forward and said a few words of praise for his merits. Unfortunately, the emperor did not buy it.
Although the emperor had a smile on his face at this time, his eyes were full of frost, but the officials were far away and could not see clearly.
"The Ninth Prince was attacked some time ago. I know that all of you, like me, are worried about the life and death of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. I can tell you now that you don't have to worry. The Nine Princes have their own destiny.
He has returned to the city safely."
"What? Uncle Nine Emperors is back alive?"
"What? Uncle Nine Emperors is not dead at all?"
The ministers were stunned on the spot. One by one they looked at me, then I looked at you, and finally they all looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, did you just say that the Ninth Prince returned to the city safely?" A certain official asked uneasily.
"That's right, the Ninth Prince is safe and sound. All your lords, raise your glasses and join me in congratulating the Ninth Prince on his safe return to the capital." The Emperor raised his glass with a festive look on his face.
King Luo, King Zhou and all the other lords looked ashen, but they had to raise their glasses and say happy words with grim faces.
Happy, happy for your whole family.
Nearly a month has passed, and there is no news at all. Even the servants of the Nine Princes' Mansion have rebelled. They all discussed dividing the power of the Nine Princes, but in the end they came back.
This is not toying with people.
The ministers raised their glasses mechanically and drank alcohol mechanically. Everyone was in a daze and didn't know how they sat down.
They had already considered Uncle Nine Emperors to be dead, and never thought that Uncle Nine Emperors would survive.
What to do now!
The atmosphere of the entire banquet changed. Although it was still lively, no one could cheer up and everyone was full of thoughts.
I just agreed to be used by His Highness Prince Luo. This is not...
Oh my god, I helped King Zhou to suppress the Nine Emperors Uncle's forces before. Isn't this...
No matter which party they are from, they are inevitably uneasy at this time. In the past half month, they have done a lot of things against the Nine Emperors Uncle's party. Most of the Nine Emperors Uncle's die-hard followers have been stepped on by them.
Down……
The situation is about to change again, I wonder what Uncle Nine Emperors will do.
The most depressing person was King Luo. He entered the city in high spirits in the morning, preparing to take over the remaining forces of Uncle Nine Emperors, but...
He had just started and it was over.
King Luo looked at the officials he had just come into contact with, and saw their eyes flickering, and they did not dare to confront them. Even the people King Zhou had won over before were dodging one by one.
King Zhou and King Luo were extremely angry, so what if Uncle Nine Emperors came back? The situation in the capital had changed, and the forces of all parties had been reshuffled. Even if Uncle Nine Emperors came back, he would not be the same Uncle Nine Emperors before.
Thinking of this, King Luo became more confident. He stood up and said to the emperor: "Father, I am very happy to hear that the emperor's uncle is safe and sound. I have not seen him for several months. I miss my uncle Jiuhuang very much. Please call me."
The emperor's uncle enters the palace."
Dongling Ziluo's words sounded nice, but the meaning behind his words was to let the emperor give the Nine Emperors Uncle a command and let the Nine Emperors Uncle understand that the current Dongling is no longer the imperial city where he can call the wind and rain, and he is no longer the one.
That powerful Nine Emperors Uncle.
King Luo's proposal was in line with the emperor's wishes. The emperor agreed and asked the eunuch to announce that the Nine Emperors Uncle had entered the palace. As soon as the eunuch went out with the order, the announcement of the Nine Emperors Uncle's entry was heard outside.
He entered the palace directly instead of asking for an audience, which showed that the Nine Emperors Uncle did not take the Emperor seriously at all and walked in without waiting for the Emperor's permission.
The emperor was unhappy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He said happily: "The ninth brother is indeed of the same mind as me. I was about to announce that the ninth brother will enter the palace, but unexpectedly, the ninth brother will come. Hurry, announce that the ninth prince will enter the palace."
"
"Prince Xuanjiu..."
Before the eunuch finished speaking, Uncle Nine Emperors strode in: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm already here."
Ignoring the officials present, Uncle Nine Emperors walked all the way to the emperor, nodded slightly to the emperor as a salute, and without waiting for the emperor to express his brotherly respect, he said...
