Chapter 831 The days without Xu Zhiqiong are the good days
Late at night, a heavy rain poured down outside the palace and Daqing Hall.
Emperor Changle was in the main hall, burning paper money one after another.
All the cabinet ministers were standing in the main hall.
Emperor Changle did not shed tears, at least not in front of his ministers.
But this usually easy-going monarch was full of murderous intent at this moment.
After burning the last piece of paper money, Emperor Changle raised his head, looked at Zhang Zhuyang and said, "Have you checked clearly?"
Zhang Zhuyang took a deep breath, calmed down his nervousness, and responded respectfully: "Wei Chen has found out that Ling Zhengze is a piece of Bai Falcon from the Fanxiao Kingdom, and was placed in Qiancheng Kingdom."
Yan Anqing, the chief minister of the cabinet, glared at Zhang Zhuyang.
Zhang Zhuyang had no choice, he had to tell the truth.
He had just made great achievements in the cabinet because of his meritorious service in managing river affairs. If he dares to tell a lie now, everything will be ruined.
There was silence in the Daqing Palace for a long time. Emperor Changle returned to the throne and said in a deep voice: "Draw up an imperial edict to recall the chariot general Chu Xin and send troops to the western border!"
He wants to declare war on Fanxiao Kingdom!
Yan Anqing hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
Emperor Changle had no expression on his face and only said two words: "Idea!"
Yan Anqing said: "The matter has not yet been clarified. This may be a plan to alienate Qiancheng Kingdom. Your Majesty must be extremely cautious."
"Imposed imperial edict!"
Seeing Emperor Changle's resolute attitude, Yan Anqing simply said more straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, the national power of the Fanxiao Kingdom is beyond my propaganda. It is definitely not the best idea to start a war rashly!"
"I ask you to prepare an edict!" Emperor Changle looked at Yan Anqing with blood-red eyes.
Yan Anqing turned his eyes and looked at the cabinet ministers, hoping that they could say something for him.
All the cabinet ministers said nothing. Only Wang Yanyang said a word after a long silence.
"My great ambassador was killed in a foreign land. There should indeed be an explanation for this matter."
This old man is bad!
Yan Anqing gritted his teeth and turned to Emperor Changle, saying: "I will send an envoy to Fanxiao Kingdom immediately. King Fanxiao must give an explanation to His Majesty about this matter."
Emperor Changle shook his head and said: "There is no need for him to explain, just start a war. I will let him know what pain is!"
Emperor Changle was in great pain.
All the ministers present knew that Emperor Changle was in great pain.
But Yan Anqing must stop Emperor Changle.
The country in the south is in a state of depression, and the situation is complicated.
The country of Tunu in the north is surprisingly peaceful, and must be ready to go.
If we choose to start with the Fanxiao Kingdom now, it’s hard to say what kind of situation Daxuan will fall into.
But Emperor Changle was resolute and did not give Yan Anqing a chance to persuade him.
Lu Yunxi brought the pen and paper to Yan Anqing and waited for Yan Anqing to draft the edict.
Yan Anqing can't say whether to return the seal now, and even in the cabinet, he doesn't dare to say how many people will support him.
He picked up his pen and was wondering how to write this edict, when he suddenly heard that the chamberlain came to report that Tao Huayuan, the Shaobu of the Department of Yin and Yang, came to see him.
Emperor Changle raised his head, looked at his chamberlain and asked, "Who is Tao Huayuan?"
He recognized Tao Huayuan and had met her more than once.
But now Emperor Changle is not in his right mind and he cannot remember who Tao Huayuan is.
Yan Anqing said quickly: "Miss Tao is Marquis Yun's best friend. The two of them were supposed to get married. Now that Marquis Yun is in such trouble, he should see Miss Tao and comfort her."
"Getting married," Emperor Changle murmured, "Zhi Qiong is not married yet, not yet married..."
After being silent for a long time, Emperor Changle said to his chamberlain: "Send Tao Huayuan to see you."
The chamberlain left for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Tao said that it is inconvenient to meet with Your Majesty in the Daqing Hall."
"What's the inconvenience?"
The waiter looked troubled and said, "Miss Tao didn't give an explanation."
Yan Anqing said: "Marquis Yun may have last words, and you must inform your majesty privately."
Now Yan Anqing no longer cares about etiquette. It would be a blessing if someone could persuade Emperor Changle to stop him.
Emperor Changle was dumbfounded for a long time, then nodded and said, "I'll go to the Secret Pavilion to see her."
Arriving at the secret pavilion, Tao Huayuan saluted Emperor Changle.
She said nothing, but took out a mouse from her sleeve.
The moment he saw the mouse, Emperor Changle's originally dull eyes shone with a little light.
"Is this a mouse?"
Tao Huayuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's a mouse."
"A living rat."
"Return to your majesty and stay alive!"
…
The main hall of the Divine Lord, the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Qin Yan sat beside the bed in despair.
Xu Zhiqiong is dead.
Xu Zhiqiong is the master of Chang Decai and the real master of Decai Sect.
In Qiancheng Kingdom, all the eunuchs' hopes were pinned on Xu Zhiqiong.
If he is gone, the virtuous and talented family will also be gone.
The virtue and talent gate is gone, and everything is gone.
Hong Juncheng is killing the eunuchs one after another, and sooner or later he will be killed.
What can I do?
Leaving the palace?
What can you do after leaving the palace?
As a eunuch, what else can I do?
A subordinate servant came to report, and Li Quangen, the chief seal of the palace supervisor, asked to see him.
After meeting Qin Yan and repelling others, Li Quangen asked, "Have you heard about that?"
He was referring to Xu Zhiqiong's matter.
Qin Yan nodded: "I heard about it."
"What are your plans?"
"What other plans can we make?" Qin Yan looked numb, "Just treat it as a dream, and live in confusion from now on for the rest of my life."
"I'm afraid this life won't be that easy to end. According to the killing method of the Lord God, our lives may not last long."
"If it doesn't last, it won't last. If you die early, you will be free." Qin Yan has lost the desire to live.
"There is no way to escape even if you die!" Li Quangen shook his head and said, "Since Xiao Jinzi met a resentful ghost last time, I have studied some techniques and found many dead souls. One dead soul has been wandering in this palace for more than three hundred years.
Year."
Qin Yan looked at Li Quangen in surprise: "Is the deceased soul a chamberlain?"
Li Quangen nodded: "I heard from the chamberlain that there are countless dead souls like him in the palace. In our Qiancheng Kingdom, as long as you become a chamberlain, you will have to stay here and suffer even if you die!"
Qin Yan lowered her brows and lost all hope: "Well, what should I do..."
Li Quangen lowered his voice and said: "I am also saddened by this unexpected incident to Marquis Yun, but we have not received any news from Master Chang. We must not slack off at this time."
Qin Yan's eyes were dull and she said: "Master, can you still come to us?"
"We are the master's disciples, how could the master abandon us and ignore us?
Now that something has happened to Marquis Yun, the master will not take care of us for the time being. When the master finds us, we will either be imprisoned or have become ghosts under the sword. Then our virtue and talent sect will be really finished!
"
After hearing these words, Qin Yan saw some hope.
The servant of the Supervisor of Ceremonies came to report: "Palm seal, the Lord God wants you to go to Shensi Palace."
Qin Yan took a deep breath and said to Li Quangen: "I will serve the Lord God."
Li Quangen shook his head and said: "You can't get rid of this look. Are you afraid that the Lord God won't be able to see it if you put the pain on your face?"
Qin Yan sighed: "What about that? Can you still make me laugh?"
"You don't have to laugh, but just keep going as usual. If you can't do that, just take a leave of absence and don't go to see the Lord God."
What Li Quangen said makes sense. In his current state, it would be too easy to arouse the suspicion of the Lord God.
But Xu Zhiqiong had just died, and if he took leave at this time, it would be more likely to arouse the suspicion of the Lord God.
Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, looked at the bronze mirror, and quickly adjusted her appearance.
After all, it was the handprint of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. It took less than a cup of tea. Qin Yan quickly adjusted her condition and followed the chamberlain to the Temple of Shensi.
Li Quangen breathed a sigh of relief and just returned to Zhidian Prison when he saw Liu Yupeng again.
"What are you doing here?" Li Quangen frowned, "But you are not allowed to serve the Second Holy Son in Chunxian Palace?"
Liu Yupeng lowered his voice and said: "I came to you just to ask about this matter. I heard that something happened to Marquis Yun, and our Decai Sect is going to be over. Do you still care about the Second Saint Son's affairs?"
"No one cares! Who says no one cares?" Li Quangen said in a stern voice, "If the master doesn't give an order, we all have to do our duty."
Liu Yupeng nodded and said: "Palace Master Li, you, the palace master, can be the backbone of the palace. With your words, it will be possible."
After saying that, Liu Yupeng hurried back to Chunxian Palace.
The Second Holy Son, who has been under house arrest in Chunxian Palace, is looking around for Liu Yupeng; "Yupeng, find me some wine and have a couple of drinks with me. I am worried."
Liu Yupeng found two jars of royal wine for Hong Huayun, and ordered his men to prepare a table of dishes, and the two drank from each cup.
"Yupeng, I heard that my father found Hua Heng?"
This is the news Liu Yupeng asked his subordinates to release to Hong Huayun, in order to make him feel more critical.
Liu Yupeng nodded and said: "The Third Holy Son was kidnapped by the gangsters. The Lord God has found out his whereabouts and will take the Third Holy Son back to the palace soon."
Hong Huayun sighed: "My father really still prefers Hua Heng."
Liu Yupeng poured a glass of wine for Hong Huayun and drank one himself: "Your Highness, there are some things that I advise you to prepare for in advance. The Lord Shen mentioned it more than once and said that you have a disobedient heart. Now you have made up your mind to pass it on to the Three Kingdoms." Holy Son, I’m afraid I won’t be able to tolerate you in the future.”
Hong Huayun picked up the wine glass and shed two lines of tears in sadness: "After all, the huge Qiancheng Kingdom cannot accommodate me alone."
After drinking another glass of wine, Liu Yupeng lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, the one who cannot tolerate you is the Divine King, not the Qiancheng Kingdom."
Hong Huayun raised his head and looked at Liu Yupeng, then shook his head and said: "Qiancheng Kingdom is my father's kingdom. If he can't tolerate me, how can he tolerate me?"
"There is no room for His Highness in the palace, but outside the palace, it is hard to tell. The Lord God ordered the Autumn Fu Expedition, but the prefects in various places did not respond."
Hong Huayun was startled: "What do you mean..."
Liu Yupeng lowered his voice: "If His Highness makes up his mind, I am willing to risk my life to take His Highness out of the palace."
When Hong Huayun heard this, he seemed a little moved.
But after hesitating for a while, he still lowered his head.
"Even if I can get out of Shenlin City and have a wife and children, won't I die in vain?"
Liu Yupeng sighed: "Your Highness is extremely worried. Let me wait for this old slave to think of countermeasures."
…
At dawn the next day, Hong Juncheng approved the memorial, stretched himself, and stood in front of the Xuxuan Pavilion.
It was raining heavily outside the door, and Hong Juncheng suddenly said: "The weather is very good today."
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?
It’s raining so heavily, why do you think the weather is so good?
Hong Juncheng turned around, looked at Qin Yan and said, "Xu Zhiqiong is dead, do you know this?"
Qin Yan nodded and said calmly: "I have heard about it."
Hong Juncheng said sincerely: "Please tell me again, Xu Zhiqiong is dead."
Qin Yan didn't understand what it meant, and repeated it again: "Xu Zhiqiong is dead."
When Hong Juncheng heard this, he laughed loudly.
Qin Yan understood what he meant.
Xu Zhiqiong is dead, and for Hong Juncheng, everything is fine.
"I want to go to the back garden."
"I prepare a chariot for Your Majesty."
Hong Juncheng waved his hand and said: "There is no need for a chariot, and you don't need to go with me. I can just go alone."
Hong Juncheng held an umbrella and went to the back garden alone.
When they arrived at the back garden, Hong Juncheng scolded the guards, unlocked the door, and entered the garden alone.
The Zhuxin Garden is divided into three levels. After passing the first level garden, Hong Juncheng came to the second level garden.
There was a stone tower in the garden. Hong Juncheng walked slowly to the stone tower and listened quietly to the wailing in the tower.
He raised his head and his pupils suddenly shrank.
A large amount of bloodshot eyes concentrated in his pupils, turning his pupils into blood red.
In his sight, there was a layer of red mist.
This fog is resentment.
The sound in the stone tower was loud enough, and the resentment in the air was thick enough.
It’s almost time to show off the chips given to Duan Zi Fang.
Let’s take a look at the quality first!
Hong Juncheng injected a surge of domineering energy into the stone tower and activated the magic circle!
