"Your Majesty, thank you very much." Wei Guogong and his son said quickly.
"Okay, now that it has been decided, I will leave this matter to you, and I will leave first." Baili Wuyou said as he stood up.
"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of the matter." Mr. Wei Guogong and his son stood up quickly, walked Baili Wuyou to the door, and watched him disappear into the night.
Three days later, while digging a well in the suburbs of Beijing, a farmer found a stone with four characters written on it: "On September 9, 1773, Mingjun was born."
The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone was in an uproar.
Ordinary people are all guessing who the Mingjun who was born on September 9, 1773 is referring to. However, the civil and military officials in the court and the major families know that Baili Wushang was born on September 9, 773.
day.
When the news reached Prince Kang's mansion, Yun Jingchu just smiled and said nothing.
Just when the whole capital was talking about this matter, Empress Luo received a request from several old ministers requesting an interview. The leaders were Prime Minister Fu and King Yan, as well as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works.
, six ministers of the Ministry of War, and several elderly and influential princes.
Emperor Luo received them in the side hall of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, have you heard about the news circulating in the capital today?" Prime Minister Fu Biyi was the first to speak and asked cautiously.
"Are you saying that someone found a stone with the words 'September 9, 773, Ming Jun was born' written on it?" Luo Huang looked at the crowd and said calmly.
Prime Minister Fu's eyes flashed, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, that's what I want to say."
"Well, I have also heard about this matter. Let me hear what you think." Luo Huang's expression and tone were still very calm, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this must be an illusion or rumor fabricated by someone with intentions. I don't dare to guess what this person's purpose is. I hope that the Emperor will allow me to investigate this matter secretly." Prime Minister Fu bowed.
"Brother Imperial, I also think this matter is not credible. I am willing to work with the Prime Minister to thoroughly investigate this matter." Then, King Yan also spoke.
Several other veterans also spoke in agreement.
"Then you go and investigate." Luo Huang said in a cold voice, "If you find out anything, report it to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several veterans said at the same time.
"It's nothing, just step back." Luo Huang's voice became colder and colder.
Several old ministers knelt down quickly, carefully exited the side hall of the imperial study, and headed outside the palace.
Along the way, the faces of several veterans were a bit more solemn than when they arrived.
After leaving the palace gate, Prime Minister Fu looked at everyone: "I would like to find a place to discuss this matter with you. Is it convenient for you?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go to a nearby restaurant to get together." Prime Minister Fu suggested, then turned to King Yan and asked, "What do you think, His Highness the King of Hell?"
"I have no objection," King Yan said, nodding his head.
So, several veterans went to a nearby restaurant together.
After entering the restaurant, several people found a secluded private room. After dismissing the waiter and asking the entourage to guard the door, several ministers looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Prime Minister Fu looked at King Yan and carefully asked: "Your Highness, King Yan, was the emperor angry just now?"
King Yan was silent for a moment, and then replied: "...Brother Huang is indeed a little unhappy, but it is not necessarily directed at King Kang. It may just be directed at the person who forged such miracles and oracles."
