The next afternoon, Zhao Yan saw the news of the emperor's death on mobile phone news.√

When I saw this news on my phone, Zhao Yan was lying on the hospital bed, which was still the border city, in a hospital four or five streets away from the Ziye Hotel.

Hongwang Hospital.

All the mobile news pages turned into dim gray, with bold titles His Majesty passed away late yesterday night!

"At 6:11 am today, our newspaper received a notice from the Imperial Propaganda Department and was ordered to inform all the citizens of his majesty's death late at night yesterday. At the same time, the order from the Imperial Propaganda Department was also conveyed. Within three days, all citizens are not allowed to hold wedding banquets, birthday celebrations and other festive activities! Violators will be punished!

What is gratifying is that His Majesty was very peaceful when he left. He was summoned by the ancestors in his sleep and left. His Majesty had no son. His Majesty's funeral was organized by Zhu Lixi, King Lu. King Lu had ordered all national flags and military flags in the empire to be lowered from today, and it will not be restored until His Majesty is buried in the imperial tomb!

…”

This is the news that Zhao Yan saw. The news did not mention the abnormal death of Emperor Zhu Hongqi at all. The male servant did not mention the illegal guards and female officials who died in the palace last night. Therefore, Zhao Yan did not smell any abnormal smell from this news.

All the people were deceived by this news, and the truth was covered up for some reason.

Zhao Yan is not a fanatical patriot, nor is he a fanatical admirer of the royal family or the emperor. He has no patriotism and love for the king. Although he just fought with ghosts, one of the three major killers of digital life, as the Nanjing Inspection Office's armed police last night, almost losing his life. Although he is still the Nanjing Inspection Office's armed police, for him, all this has nothing to do with patriotism and love for the king.

When joining the Nanjing Inspection Department, his purpose was to use the intelligence system of the Inspection Bureau to find the murderer who killed Fan Long as soon as possible and avenge Fan Long. That's all.

He had already reported to the above when he was born in the Ziye Hotel last night. The staff of the local inspection department had already come to his ward to find him to record the matter in the morning. Now that his business is gone, the next day is to recuperate at public expense and recover from the injury in this hospital.

During the battle with Ghost Shadow in the early morning last night, he left more than ten wounds left by ghost shadows with daggers on his body, and it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

A needle for a drip was inserted on the back of Zhao Yan's hand. Maybe it was because the potion had a hypnotic medicinal properties, or maybe it was because he was injured and he was more likely to get sleepy. In short, Zhao Yan found that he was particularly tired today. Not long after lunch, he had just played with his phone for a while. The sleepiness in his mind invaded, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Anyway, it is time to recover from the injury and there is nothing to do, so he put his phone on the cabinet at the bedside and closed his eyes to rest.

...

Just as Zhao Yan closed his eyes and rested, in the square outside the main entrance of the imperial palace in the capital, the surrounding area was already martial law by the military-heavy imperial guards. All ordinary people and vehicles were ordered to change the route, resulting in the intersections of the three sides being congested, and the noise was endless, but no one dared to protest.

Because today, basically everyone has seen the news of the emperor's death. At this moment, no one dares to protest here. If he is arrested and in prison, no one can save him.

There was a noise in the distance, and when the noise reached the main entrance of the palace, it was already very small and almost impossible to hear. But today, in the square outside the main entrance of the palace, a group of civil and military ministers, princes, and princes gathered here. These great figures who usually speak majestic and naughty look different at this moment, and there was a louder noise than the three intersections in the distance.

The third prince Zhu Hongke was also standing on the edge of this circle of ministers and nobles at this time. Compared to others, Zhu Hongke seemed very silent and said nothing.

The most angry and loudest voice at this moment was King Zhu Lixin of Jin.

King Zhu Lixin of Jin and King Fu Zhu Litao of Fu, these two princes, one of them has the greatest power in the army and the other has the most financial resources. Both of them are not in the capital on weekdays. As princes, they are not qualified to enter the capital without authorization. King Zhu Lixin of Jin was originally in Guangzhou and King Fu Zhu Litao of Shanxi. Both princes took a plane to the capital overnight after receiving the news of the emperor's death in the palace early this morning.

Also rushing back to the capital from another place today is the second prince Zhu Hongyuan.

As mentioned earlier, because Emperor Zhu Hongqi had no son, Zhu Hongyuan, Zhu Hongke, Zhu Hongtu and others were still called princes, although they were all the princes of the late emperor and the younger brother of Emperor Zhu Hongqi.

Also as Zhu Hongqi's younger brother, Zhu Hongyuan and Zhu Hongqi have a closest relationship, because Zhu Hongyuan and Zhu Hongqi's one-child compatriots were both born to the empress dowager.

Before, there were rumors that Emperor Zhu Hongqi intended to pass the throne to King Lu Zhu Lixi, and some people also said that Zhu Hongqi wanted his younger brother, the second prince Zhu Hongyuan, to inherit the throne.

At this moment, the second prince Zhu Hongyuan's face looked very ugly. He looked at the main entrance of the palace with gloomy eyes from time to time. The main entrance of the palace was tightly closed. The military uniforms above the gate tower were straight and the imperial guards wearing submachine guns were motionless, like sculptures, with coldness and murderous aura.

"It's too much! What does Zhu Lixi want to do? His Majesty just passed away, and he brought people to block the palace. Before we could see His Majesty's remains, he announced His Majesty's obituary to the whole country. Now he is closing the city gates and blocking us all out of the palace. What does he mean? Ah! What does he mean? He is the prince! We are also the prince! His Majesty has passed away. What is his right to cover the sky with one hand? Give orders? Open the door! Hurry up and open the door for me!!"

King Zhu Lixin of Jin was furious and pointed his stubborn finger at the imperial guards on the city tower and cursed.

King Fu Zhu Litao held a string of Buddhist beads in his right hand. Zhu Litao, who was wide and fat, plucked the Buddhist beads in his hand while secretly paying attention to the progress of the situation and the expressions of the princes, princes, and civil and military ministers around him.

His rich, round face always had a kind smile on his usual face, but at this moment he didn't see any smile on his face.

There were many important officials of the court standing behind him, all waiting for him to make a decision, but at this moment, the main entrance and side doors of the palace were all closed, and he had no choice.

The fourth prince Zhu Hongtu is the most young and energetic, with a strong martial arts skills. He is known as the number one master in the capital. His eyes are red at this moment. He endured it and endured it. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for? Ah? Can't you still see that Zhu Lixi, the King of Lu, is relying on his control of one-third of the imperial guards in the capital, and behind him is the support of the Prime Minister and other ministers! He wants to rebel! He wants to usurp the throne!! Didn't you see that the Prime Minister and the Secretary are not outside, but are also inside the palace? The doors of the palace are closed, and it is not others who block it! But it is us! Zhu Lixi is going to kick us out directly! Do you still have to endure it? When do you plan to endure it?"

Without waiting for the other people to respond, Zhu Hongtu yelled: "Come here!! Go and dispatch troops for me! Bring me guns and cannons! Zhu Lixi can't open the door, so let's open the palace gate!!" (To be continued.)8
