The sound of the gong quickly attracted the rest of the guarding imperial guards.
The leading lieutenant saw clearly the memorial tablets and everyone's filial piety, and his face turned pale with shock: "What are you doing? How dare you curse His Majesty!"
Mr. Gu said coldly: "His Majesty has passed away. It is only natural for ministers to weep and mourn for His Majesty! How dare you, a rat like you, stop your ministers from mourning and keeping vigil for His Majesty? What's the point?"
He raised Zhao Xing's memorial tablet high, shouted loudly, and strode towards the Imperial Forest Army blocking the way.
No one dares to do anything to Zhao Xing's spiritual status.
If the emperor is really dead, those who disrespect him should be punished.
If the emperor had not died and knew that someone was cursing him to death and raised his spirit to cause trouble, he would be damned! Anyone who disrespected his spiritual position would also be damned!
The leading captain thought that if His Majesty really died, this group of people would not be able to make trouble.
If they are not dead, leave it to Your Majesty to deal with these people.
What's more, the order he received was just to keep an eye on the Priest's Palace and not let Mu Yunhan and her people cause trouble. These people were not from the Priest's Palace, so let them go!
So he pretended to be helpless, bluffed, and moved out of the way.
The sound of the gong echoed in the street, mixed with the screams and wails of Master Gu, Master Mu and others, alarming a large number of people.
The current state of Beijing is under martial law. People are locked up in their homes and are not allowed to go out. The streets are full of patrolling soldiers.
Therefore, the behavior of Mr. Gu and his group was simply earth-shattering.
People dared not go out, but they could hide behind courtyard walls and cracks in doors to peek.
The patrolling soldiers did not dare to come forward blatantly to ask what happened, but they could watch and listen.
After a short silence, a scholar cried out: "Your Majesty has passed away!"
His family members cried loudly: "His Majesty has passed away!"
Then, his neighbors also asked loudly: "What happened? His Majesty passed away?"
"Is it fake?"
"Those are the two princes from Guhou Mansion and Muhou Mansion. How could they be fake?"
More and more people were crying, and the voices were getting louder and louder. Even the soldiers patrolling the streets began to cry.
A soldier ran to ask his superior: "Is His Majesty really dead?"
Zhao Xing's reign was not long, but his reputation was not bad.
Many people remember that when he was the crown prince, he endured humiliation and served as a hostage in Qi for many years for the sake of the peace of Zhao.
Some people still remember that after he became emperor, he recuperated and reformed taxes, allowing the rich to pay more taxes and the poor to pay less taxes.
As for the conflicts with Gu Fenglin and the disadvantages on the border front, they were all selectively forgotten by everyone at this time.
What more people are crying about is that their young monarch suddenly collapsed. What will happen next? Will the country perish? Can the ordinary people survive?
Some people also thought, since the emperor passed away, why didn't the palace bell ring to announce it?
Why did Guhou Mansion and Muhou Mansion choose to parade in this way? What on earth do the soldiers all over the street want to do?
At this time, someone was beating gongs and running on the walls of each house shouting: "Your Majesty has been assassinated! King Shou is plotting rebellion!"
Panic, sadness, and anger were mixed together, and soon turned into a torrent.
I don't know who was the first to bravely run out of the house and join Mr. Gu and others. Maybe he was a scholar or a minor official.
More and more people joined in. They howled sadly and headed towards the palace.

Regarding why the update was stopped this time, the author said that I had asked for leave. I had severe influenza A lung infection and high fever and was quarantined for many days. I don’t know why many book friends didn’t see it, which made everyone worried. I would like to explain it here and thank you.
, as for the few people who insult and curse, please stop reading my books. You have lowered the level of my book friends.
