Liu Jin's sharp voice echoed in the living room, clearly showing how bad Liu Jin's mood was at this moment.
With a pop, Liu Jin sat down directly and looked at Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Zhang Cai and others who were sitting at the bottom with a gloomy face. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Jiao Fang
, Come and tell us who is plotting against our family. They even dare to plot against His Majesty. They have taken advantage of the courage of a bear and become lawless."
With a wry smile on her face, Jiao Fang was called out by Liu Jin. Even if she didn't want to speak anymore, Jiao Fang had to look at Liu Jin and said, "Mr. Liu, how is your majesty doing now?"
When Liu Jin heard Jiao Fang's question, her face darkened, her anger rose and she screamed: "How do we know? Now that the palace door is closed and not a single fly can fly out, how do we know?"
How is your Majesty doing now?"
Originally, she thought that Liu Jin would be able to get some news from the palace, but she never thought that even Liu Jin would not be able to get any news from the palace now. This made Jiao Fang and others even more worried.
At this time, Zhang Cai's eyes flashed with a strange look and said: "General Manager, the news of His Majesty's assassination is too sudden. We don't know what happened, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it will happen."
Become a weapon for the officials in the court to use against us."
Speaking of this, even Zhang Cai couldn't help but look worried.
Don't look at the fact that they attached themselves to Liu Jin and formed an eunuch party in the court. They seemed to be able to dominate the sky with one hand, and they were even able to compete with the civil servant group headed by Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others.
But Zhang Cai, Jiao Fang and others knew very well that they just looked scary, but in fact there were not many people who really relied on them. Not to mention other things, in the six yamen alone, they also occupied the official department and the household department.
Just the department.
The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry can only place a few people at most. Even the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the middle and lower-level officials occupied by them are all members of the civil service group.
The reason why they were able to gain a slight upper hand over the court was entirely because the emperor favored them. In addition, Liu Jin, the Chief Superintendent of Ceremonies, cooperated with Jiao Fang and Liu Yu who entered the cabinet.
Group confrontation.
However, the power they formed was like a tree without roots and water without a source. It could not withstand any changes at all. Whether Liu Jin had an accident or the emperor had an accident, except for a few of them, the other officials who relied on them
The birds and beasts will disperse in an instant.
Cao Yuan coughed slightly at this moment, looked at Jiao Fang, and Liu Yu said: "Yesterday the Queen Mother urgently summoned Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe to the palace, but she missed you two. This is not a good sign."
No need for Cao Yuan to tell them, they all could realize this.
As they are both cabinet ministers, if something unexpected happens to the emperor here, the Queen Mother will come out to summon the ministers to the palace, so Jiao Fang and Liu Yu, who are cabinet ministers, must be among the summons.
But the Queen Mother just summoned Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, as if she had forgotten Jiao Fang and Liu Yu.
It's just such a big matter. Jiao Fang and Liu Yu are cabinet members. Everyone knows this. It is obviously impossible for the Queen Mother not to know. But the Queen Mother has left out these two people. Isn't the meaning of this unclear?
Also, as the internal minister, Liu Jin should have entered the palace at this time and stayed in the palace with the cabinet ministers to adapt to changes at any time.
However, just yesterday, the Empress Dowager also issued an order, ordering Liu Jin to stay in the palace and not to leave Liu's mansion, which directly cut off any possibility of Liu Jin entering the palace.
Liu Jin looked frantic and screamed outside: "Here comes someone!"
Immediately, a young eunuch ran over and cautiously said to Liu Jin, "General Manager!"
Liu Jin waved his hand and said, "Have the people you sent to look for Ma Yongcheng come back?"
The young eunuch shook his head when he heard this and said, "Back to the chief manager, there is no news yet."
Liu Jin said angrily: "Trash, really trash, I don't know how to come back after all this time."
The little eunuch drooped his head and did not dare to speak.
Zhang Cai looked at the frantic Liu Jin and said, "Mr. Liu, just wait a little longer. I think news will come through soon."
Liu Jin glanced at Zhang Cai and said anxiously: "Wait, wait any longer, who knows what Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and the others will do. Your Majesty's life or death is uncertain. I must find out what happened to Your Majesty. Otherwise, it will be useless.
As far as I know, even if I want to do something, I don’t have a clue.”
Liu Jin's thoughts almost represented the thoughts of several people. They were obviously the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, but they never expected that they would not even get any news if something happened to the emperor.
After a cup of tea, the atmosphere in the living room became more solemn.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came in a hurry. When Liu Jin and others heard the footsteps, they instantly looked up.
I saw a young eunuch coming out of breath, ran into the living room, prostrated himself directly and said: "General Manager, this slave is back."
Liu Jin suddenly stood up, rushed directly to the little eunuch, grabbed the little eunuch and said urgently: "Tell me, have you seen Ma Yongcheng? Is there anything Ma Yongcheng wants you to tell me?"
The little eunuch was lifted up by Liu Jin. He shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said: "General manager, Mr. Machang has not left the palace since he entered the palace yesterday, so... so..."
When Liu Jin heard this, the look of expectation in his eyes turned into disappointment. He pushed the little eunuch to the ground and said angrily: "Okay, okay, they don't want to let our family know at all. Our family is going to go."
Seeing Your Majesty, I don’t believe that something happened to Your Majesty, it must be that they falsely conveyed the imperial edict..."
Angrily, Liu Jin stood up and was about to walk outside, but was grabbed by Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and others.
You must know that the Queen Mother has issued an edict, and Liu Jin is not allowed to leave the palace. If Liu Jin leaves the Liu Mansion, he may not be able to reach the palace, and he may be arrested for violating the Queen Mother's edict.
Forbidden City, Imperial Palace
Compared with before, the security in the Imperial City was obviously stricter, and there was even a bit more tension in the atmosphere.
In the huge inner palace, within a palace, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and even the ministers of Dali Temple, Zongzheng Temple and other nine ministers were almost there.
These people were waiting outside the palace, glancing into the palace from time to time, their faces full of worry and eagerness.
In the palace, in a room that exuded a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine, a figure was lying on the bed. His face was pale and his breathing was weak. Who could it be if it wasn't Zhu Houzhao?
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang was taking several palace maids and Empress Xia's family, looking with concern at the imperial doctor who was checking the emperor's body.
The imperial physician Chen Jiu had a gray hair and was one of the top doctors in the imperial hospital, but now he had a serious look on his face after taking Zhu Houzhao's pulse.
When Chen Jiu put Zhu Houzhao's arm back on the couch, Queen Mother Zhang and Queen Xia looked at Chen Jiu immediately.
"How is your Majesty? Does it matter? When will you wake up?"
Chen glanced at Queen Mother Zhang and Queen Xia, and said slowly: "Back to Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Your Majesty's pulse is shallow and weak, almost undetectable, and her heartbeat is extremely slow. The situation is extremely bad. I have never seen anything like this before.
disease."
Upon hearing this, Queen Xia immediately fell down beside the emperor's bed, with a look of panic on her face, while Queen Mother Zhang's expression changed, and she stared at Chen Jiu with a fierce look in her eyes: "I don't want to listen to this, I will
I just want to ask you, why doesn’t His Majesty wake up yet, and whether there is any way you can save His Majesty.”
Chen looked at Zhu Houzhao, shook his head and said: "I have no other choice but to find a way to temporarily hang up your majesty's life. As for whether your majesty can wake up and when he wakes up, I will..."
"Go away, you are a bunch of trash, all of them are known as famous Chinese doctors, but at the critical moment they are all helpless, there is no way!"
Empress Dowager Zhang burst into thunderous rage, frightening Chen to the point of kowtowing repeatedly and exiting the room.
Outside the main hall, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others could clearly hear the Queen Mother's angry scolding.
At this moment, seeing that several imperial doctors who had been summoned to check on the emperor were driven out, Li Dongyang hurriedly came up to him and said: "Physician Chen, how is your majesty's condition?"
Chen Jiu hurriedly saluted Li Dongyang and others. When he heard this, he said with a solemn expression on his face: "Looking back, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's condition is the same as yesterday. He is still unconscious. I can only think of ways to save His Majesty's life...
"
When Li Dongyang heard this, he sighed, raised his hands to Chen and said, "Mrs. Chen must try his best to help your majesty wake up as soon as possible."
Chen Jiu said hurriedly: "I will go find my colleagues and discuss it together to see if we can come up with a way to wake up your majesty."
Chen Jiu and several imperial doctors temporarily retreated, while Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Fei Hong, Mao Ji and other important officials in the court also heard Chen Jiu's words clearly, and now they turned their attention to Li Dongyang.
Jiang Mian was heard to say: "Master Chief Assistant, Your Majesty has been in a coma for more than three days. Now life or death is uncertain. As the Chief Assistant, you must shoulder the burden of the imperial court and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Li Dongyang nodded slightly and said, "I know."
At this moment, Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "The case of His Majesty's assassination must be investigated strictly, and all the dangerous people hiding around His Majesty must be caught. Otherwise, even if His Majesty can wake up, there is no guarantee that he will not be killed in the future."
Such appalling things happen again.”
Hearing what Yang Tinghe said, Fei Hong, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji nodded in unison, and then looked at Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang took a deep breath and said: "The maids who assassinated His Majesty have all been captured and are now being held in the palace. They can be interrogated at any time after consulting the Queen Mother."
Yang Tinghe said immediately: "Then immediately ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to strictly investigate the assassination case of Her Majesty. It must not be delayed any longer, otherwise those who are hiding in the dark will destroy the evidence."
Li Dongyang nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, Ma Yongcheng has already brought people from Dongchang to the trial..."
But before Li Dongyang finished speaking, Jiang Mian said: "The chief minister is confused, how can such an important matter be handed over to eunuchs like Ma Yongcheng, not to mention that this case involves Liu Jin, even if it does not involve Liu Jin
, how can such a big matter be handed over to Dongchang for investigation? The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must all send people to jointly investigate the case. Only in this way can fairness be ensured. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will bend the law for personal gain or even bend the law.
To protect those who plot rebellion..."
Ma Yongcheng, who had been staying outside the main hall, immediately changed his face when he heard this, and screamed angrily at Jiang Mian: "Jiang Mian, what do you mean? Are you saying that our family is disloyal to His Majesty?"
Jiang Mian said angrily: "I don't know whether you, Ma Yongcheng, are loyal to His Majesty. I only know that Liu Jin is involved in this case, and I'm afraid you, Ma Yongcheng, are also to blame."
Ma Yongcheng suddenly became angry and said, "You are such a slanderer, Jiang Mian, how dare you slander our family like this."
At this time, a voice came and said: "Your Majesty is still in a coma, and you are making a noise outside this hall. Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes, or do you still have me?"
It turned out that Queen Mother Zhang heard the commotion outside and looked at Ma Yongcheng, Jiang Mian and others angrily.
The Queen Mother was furious, and Ma Yongcheng, Jiang Mian and others all bowed down in front of Queen Mother Zhang.
Ma Yongcheng even complained: "Queen Mother, you have to make the decision for me. I am loyal to Your Majesty, but Jiang Mian dares to slander me..."
Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Ma Yongcheng in disgust, and at this moment Jiang Mian said righteously: "Empress Dowager, I would like to ask the Queen Mother to order the deployment of manpower from the Third Division to strictly investigate the assassination of Your Majesty. Those who dare to murder Your Majesty must not be allowed to escape.
Get away with it.”
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others said: "Two pavilion elders, what do you think?"
Yang Tinghe cupped his hands and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, I believe that what Mr. Jiang said is true. Your Majesty's assassination case must be investigated strictly, and it must be investigated to the end. No matter who is involved, we must find out clearly and never let anyone go."
Queen Mother Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said to Yang Tinghe: "Okay, as Mr. Yang Ge said, this matter will be handed over to Mr. Yang Ge personally to supervise the matter."
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the Queen Mother Zhang and said: "Old minister, I sincerely follow the Queen Mother's decree."
At this moment, Fei Hong suddenly said: "To report to the Queen Mother, I thought that Your Majesty was assassinated in the palace, so I am afraid that the palace guard will not believe it. I suggest that the palace guard be replaced, just in case."
Li Dongyang couldn't help but frowned when he heard this and said: "No!"
The palace guards are of great importance. If they want to be replaced, the emperor must give permission. Otherwise, if anyone else dares to change the palace guards, it will be a crime of treason.
Fei Hong actually dared to suggest replacing the palace guards. This was really bold. No wonder Li Dongyang was startled when he heard it and almost instinctively objected.
Empress Dowager Zhang could not help but frown, but looking at Fei Hong's public-spirited look, she hesitated and said: "The palace guards are related to the safety of the palace. If something happens to your majesty this time, they will not be able to escape the blame. However,
At the moment, if the Imperial City Guards are replaced and His Majesty wakes up, I am afraid that he will be furious, so it is better to choose a compromise method and temporarily change the commander of the Imperial City Guards, and then order the Imperial Palace Guards to conduct an internal investigation."
Fei Hong said respectfully: "The Queen Mother clearly knows that this method is feasible."
After hearing what Fei Hong said, Empress Dowager Zhang turned to Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the others: "What do the elders think?"
Li Dongyang and others all nodded, and then Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said: "In that case, it's settled."
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at a few people and said, "I am going to see your Majesty. I will leave you all with the affairs of the court. When your Majesty wakes up, you will definitely not forget them."
Li Dongyang led all the ministers to the Queen Mother Zhang and said, "I will respectfully send you off to the Queen Mother."
Royal Horse Supervisor Yamen
The Yuma Supervisor was in charge of the emperor's inner treasury, and was also in charge of the Tengxiang Imperial Guard. It could be said that he had great authority, and naturally he was very busy with food, so Gu Da spent most of his time sitting in the Yuma Supervisor.
At this moment, Gu Da looked at the eunuch delivering the edict in front of him with a solemn expression, stared at him condescendingly and said: "Tell me, what happened in the palace, why are the palace doors of the imperial city closed, are you here to deliver the edict?"
His Majesty’s will or whose will?”
Not long ago, Gu Dayong wanted to go back to the palace to see Zhu Houzhao. If this were the case in the past, as Gu Dayong's status as the chamberlain guarding the palace gate, the imperial guards would definitely let him go after seeing his token.
But this time, even if Gu Dayong took out his token, he was blocked from the palace gate, which almost made Gu Dayong angry to death.
Back in the imperial palace, the more Gu Dayong thought about it, the more wrong he became. Just when he was about to send someone to summon his subordinates, or even send someone to find out what was going on in the imperial city, several chamberlains came with orders.
meet him.
This was the scene where Gu Dayong questioned the young eunuch.
The little eunuch said to Gu Dayong tremblingly: "I really don't know what I'm saying to the Chief Gu. I just accepted the Queen Mother's order and summoned the Chief Gu to enter the palace. I don't know anything about the rest!"
Gu Dayong frowned and looked at the Yizhi stamped with the Queen Mother's seal, with a look of hesitation on his face.
If this was the emperor's edict, Gu Dayong would definitely choose to go to the palace to see the emperor without hesitation, but who would let this be the empress dowager's edict.
Naturally, Gu Dayong hesitated.
Seemingly seeing Gu Dayong's hesitation, one of the accompanying chamberlains shouted at Gu Dayong: "Manager Gu, are you trying to disobey the decree? You must know that even your Majesty must listen to the Queen Mother!"
Gu Dayong took a look and recognized that this person was a close servant of Queen Mother Zhang. The anger in his heart was suppressed. If anyone else dared to talk to him like this, he would definitely order him to be killed immediately.
He was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
Looking at the chamberlain, Gu Dayong suddenly said: "Tell me, what exactly happened in the palace?"
The palace gates of the imperial city were closed, and the emperor did not pass on the edict. However, the empress dowager's edict came. Even Gu Dayong, no matter how slow his reaction was, realized at this moment that something might have happened to the emperor.
But when faced with Gu Dayong's question, the chamberlain shook his head and said: "Mr. Gu will naturally know when he enters the palace."
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Dayong and said: "I hope Manager Gu will think clearly. Your Majesty's will is a will, and the Queen Mother's will is also a will..."
Gu Dayong snorted coldly and said, "We will just follow you into the palace."
In a side hall, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong and others looked at Gu Dayong, the chief horse supervisor, who was sitting there with anxious and indignant expressions.
Gu Dayong's expression was actually not much better than that of a few others. As soon as he entered the palace, he was brought to such a side hall by the chamberlain beside the Queen Mother.
Gu Dayong was still wondering what the other party wanted to do by bringing him to this side hall, but when he entered the side hall, he found that Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong and others were all here, and they seemed to be under guard.
Same.
Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others were obviously stunned when they saw Gu Dayong. They did not expect that Gu Dayong would enter the palace at this time, and even be locked up in this side hall like them.
Gu Dayong glanced at several people and said: "Brother Gao Feng, I was just recalled by the Queen Mother. What happened in the past few days? Why can't I enter the palace and see Your Majesty? Why are you locked up here?"
At this moment, Gu Dayong's complexion became very ugly, and he had a vague feeling in his heart. He just felt that he might have come back by mistake when he entered the palace this time.
Just as he was thinking about this, Gu Dayong heard Gao Feng's face turn pale as he said, "Damn it, we were tricked this time. Who would have thought that His Majesty returned to the palace from the Leopard Room three days ago, only to be assassinated within a day?
Even we have become the target of suspicion, and being locked up here, we are just short of being arrested and interrogated."
When Gu Dayong heard this, he jumped up and exclaimed: "What, His Majesty was assassinated. Is Your Majesty okay? What happened and who did it?"
Gu Dayong was frightened by the news. He had thought about many possibilities just now, but he never thought about Zhu Houzhao's assassination.
You must know that since Zhu Houzhao learned the Xuanwu Breathing Technique from Li Huan and practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, his strength is not weak now. In this palace, Gu Dayong really can't think of anyone who can hurt him.
By Zhu Houzhao.
Staring at Gao Feng and Qiu Ju, Gu Dayong looked in disbelief.
Sighing softly, Qiu Ju said slowly: "Let me do the talking."
Gu Dayong looked at Qiu Ju and heard Qiu Ju say: "Almost four days ago, His Majesty learned that the Queen Mother was ill and came back to the palace to visit the Queen Mother. Now that he has returned to the palace, His Majesty is not in a hurry to return to the Leopard Room.
So he slept in Jinglan Hall. This time, His Majesty summoned six women donated by General Manager Liu to sleep with him. Originally, this kind of thing was nothing. His Majesty was in the prime of spring and Autumn, and the dragons and tigers were fierce. A mere six women could still handle it.
Earned."
Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, and Zhang Yong all looked unchanged and just listened to Qiu Ju continue to speak.
When Qiu Ju said this, his expression changed and he said: "I was waiting outside Jinglan Palace. As you all know, His Majesty usually summons us in the middle of the night to take away the women who are sleeping with them.
, but this time when it was almost dawn, I didn’t hear His Majesty’s summons, so I quietly entered the Jinglan Palace. Who would have thought...who would have thought that I would see two women hanged in the Jinglan Palace.
Among them, the other four women were sitting on the ground in a daze..."
Gu Dayong said anxiously: "What about Your Majesty? What about Your Majesty?"
There was a hint of horror in Qiu Ju's eyes as he said: "Your Majesty's neck was wrapped with silk and satin, and he was strangled until he passed out. And the ones who did it were two of the women who were sleeping with him.
.”
"What! Ridiculous, really ridiculous. Your Majesty is in his prime. Even in his sleep, two weak women cannot control him."
Obviously, in Gu Dayong's view, it was a joke that Zhu Houzhao was strangled to death by two weak women with silk. Even if Zhu Houzhao slept deeply and was strangled, the power that burst out at the moment of life and death was not those of the two women.
can withstand.
Qiu Ju smiled bitterly and said, "But that's the fact. His Majesty was strangled to death by the two women who committed suicide."
Gu Da took a deep breath and looked at Qiu Ju: "Is Your Majesty alive or dead?"
Qiu Ju shook his head and said: "When I discovered that His Majesty was assassinated, I immediately alerted the Queen Mother and sent someone to consult with the Empress Dowager. The Empress also invited the imperial doctor. However, based on what I checked at the time, His Majesty's breath was extremely weak. I'm afraid..."
With a bang, Gu Da slapped the table with his palm, smashed the table into pieces and said angrily: "Your Majesty's body of a daughter, at the peak of spring and autumn, how could he die so early? Your Majesty will be fine for sure.
It will be fine."
Gao Feng looked at Gu Dayong and said: "Brother Gu, your Majesty has had such an accident. We are already confused and confused. What should we do? Do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Yong on the side sneered and said: "Didn't Brother Gu just say that the palace gate of the imperial city is now closed, even if he doesn't have the Queen Mother's decree, he can't enter the imperial city. Obviously the imperial city has been completely closed at this time. If
If nothing unexpected happens, the Queen Mother should have summoned Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and other important ministers to the palace just in case. As for us..."
Zhang Yong glanced at a few people, and the meaning in his eyes made Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others even more panicked.
Even Gu Dayong couldn't keep calm at this moment, his face changed greatly and he said: "If... if something happens to His Majesty, given how much the civil and military officials hate us, without His Majesty's protection, I'm afraid we will die by then.
It’s very miserable.”
Obviously Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others were not fools. If they were not aware of this, they would not be able to stand out next to Zhu Houzhao.
Sitting there slumped, Gu Dayong glanced at Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others and said: "If I had not entered the palace and still had the soldiers and horses of the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp in my hands, I would have been able to find a way to see His Majesty, but now
, If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that someone has temporarily taken over the Royal Horse Supervisor at this time. If I, the Chief Royal Horse Supervisor, don’t have anyone under me, it will be nothing."
Zhang Yong sighed: "Then let's just wait here to die?"
Glancing at Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong sneered and said: "If you, Zhang Yong, have any ideas, you might as well tell us. If it's really feasible, we might not be able to listen to you."
Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Put all the blame on Liu Jin. It won't take long for me to think that the people of the Third Division will strictly investigate the assassination case of His Majesty. By then, those of us who are close to His Majesty will definitely be punished."
Investigate strictly, and we can take the opportunity to put all the blame on Liu Jin..."
When Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, and Gao Feng heard this, they couldn't help but look at Zhang Yong with a strange look. They knew that Zhang Yong usually did not deal with Liu Jin, but they did not expect that Zhang Yong would be so cruel.
That is a serious crime of treason. Once it is confirmed, the family will be confiscated and the whole family will be exterminated, and they will be cut into pieces with a thousand swords.
Liu Jin would send people to assassinate the emperor. This was a big joke. They would rather believe that the sun came out from the west than believe that Liu Jin would send people to assassinate the emperor.
It's like they are nothing without the Emperor. Liu Jin has offended all the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Without the Emperor's protection, Liu Jin will never survive the next day. Liu Jin has water in his head, even if he is crazy, stupid
It is impossible to harm the emperor in the slightest.
However, now Zhang Yong actually wants them to testify that the mastermind behind the assassination of the emperor is Liu Jin. Why not let Gu Dayong do this? Qiu Ju and others looked at Zhang Yong with a strange look.
Zhang Yong felt that the eyes of several people were so strange, but he didn't care. He just snorted coldly and said: "If you want to survive, this is the only way. You might as well think about it carefully."
After saying that, Zhang Yong didn't care what other people's reactions were, he got up and went to the room next to him.
Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, and Gu Dayong were the only ones left in the side hall. You look at me and I look at you. At this moment, Gu Dayong glanced coldly at the direction Zhang Yong left and sneered:
"Zhang Yong can never be trusted!"
Qiu Ju and Gao Feng nodded slightly.
At this moment, Qiu Ju whispered to Gao Feng and Gu Dayong: "You two, as soon as I found out that His Majesty was assassinated, I quietly sent someone to send the news to Jin Yiwei. As long as Brother Li Huan
The confidants who stayed in Jinyiwei are not fools, I think brother Li Huan may be on his way back to Beijing at this time."
Hearing what Qiu Ju said, Gu Dayong, Gao Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He glanced at Qiu Ju in surprise and said, "How could you think of sending a message to Li Huan? He is thousands of miles away in Fujian. Even if he gets
I'm afraid it won't change anything if I get the news."
Qiu Ju smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know why, but at that time I subconsciously thought of brother Li Huan, thinking that he would definitely be able to help. Thinking about it now, I must have lost my mind."
Gao Feng glanced at Qiu Ju and said: "You are really confused. You really think that Brother Li Huan is omnipotent. Even if Brother Li Huan really rushes back from Fuzhou day and night, I am afraid that when he comes back, you will be waiting for him."
His is not a good thing either."
Gu Dayong nodded and said: "The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty wanted to confiscate Brother Li's home and exterminate his clan. He would be cut into pieces with a thousand swords. If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, Brother Li would have been killed by those people. This time His Majesty did something like this."
It's a big deal, if he rushes back, it would be like throwing himself into a trap."
After hearing what Gu Dayong and Gao Feng said, Qiu Ju couldn't help showing a look of remorse on his face. He felt that he had passed the news to Li Huan, but he had never thought that he had harmed Li Huan.
With a long sigh, Qiu Ju said: "If something unexpected happens to His Majesty, we have served His Majesty for so many years and will just go with him. I just hope that brother Li Huan will not rush back so stupidly that he can be with us when the time comes."
Even if we lose our lives together, I will not be able to see brother Li Huan even under the Nine Springs."
