Chapter 138(1/2)

Prime Minister Jiang felt like he was dozing off.

He instinctively stretched his sore waist and back, opened his eyes in a daze, and the strange decorations came into his eyes. Prime Minister Jiang was suddenly shocked. His Majesty summoned them in Changle Palace. He and several other important officials from Wenyuan Pavilion were waiting for the summons in the side hall. But as soon as he sat down, nothing seemed to have happened.

Chancellor Jiang vaguely remembered that there was a strange figure in the corner of the side hall. He was dressed not like a guard, nor did he look like a palace servant. He was dizzy and had to use ground crystal chips to read memorials. He couldn't see clearly what the person looked like when he was far away.

"What's going on?"

Prime Minister Jiang asked nervously, after all, it was a forced palace to rebel. No one could be sure that there was no danger in the palace now.

There was only Prime Minister Jiang in the side hall, and there were two eunuchs with a panic expression.

The Changle Palace is brightly lit, and the Imperial Guards surrounded three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Where are the others?"

Prime Minister Jiang refers to the important officials of Wenyuan Pavilion who came with him.

He stood up with difficulty, and the eunuch next to him rushed forward to support him, and said carefully: "The government affairs and the minister have already gone to see His Majesty."

Prime Minister Jiang was suspicious. After discovering that the two eunuchs were not real faces, he breathed a sigh of relief and coughed and said, "Your Majesty hasn't summoned me?"

"No, actually-"

The eunuch wanted to speak but stopped. He looked at Prime Minister Jiang's scrutiny. His legs became weak and he couldn't help crying in a low voice: "There is something wrong with Changle Palace, and a rebel sneaks in... Your Majesty is seriously injured."

"What?"

Prime Minister Jiang was shocked. He remembered what he had fallen asleep inexplicably just now, and couldn't help but throw away the eunuch's hand and walk to the side hall to communicate with the incense burner with a copper crane with wings spreading on his face.

There are water stains next to the incense burner and tea residues.

Prime Minister Jiang thought about it for a moment and knew that this was done by his colleagues. It seemed that they had thought of going together, thinking that someone had tampered with the spices and made everyone faint.

Now the incense burner is flooded with water, and the remaining smell is difficult to distinguish.

"Where is the imperial physician? What injuries did Your Majesty suffer? Are you awake?"

Prime Minister Jiang asked repeatedly, and hurried out to the hall.

Such a big change occurred in the palace. To be deeply concerned, the world is turbulent, and to be shallow, it will also trigger the rotation of forces in the court structure. Prime Minister Jiang did not dare to delay, just as his students, or the court officials belonging to his sect in Wenyuan Pavilion, left Prime Minister Jiang and went to the emperor's sickbed.

The imperial guards in front of Changle Palace did not stop Prime Minister Jiang.

This surprised Prime Minister Jiang. He thought that after the Imperial Guards dereliction of duty, they would be more cautious and more severely!

——Is Your Majesty already unconscious? That is why the Imperial Guards dare not stop the prime minister of a country?

When Prime Minister Jiang entered the main hall and met his colleagues, he realized that the matter was not what he was like.

"I heard it was an assassin." Another prime minister from the Qi Dynasty stroked his beard and said.

"I heard?"

Prime Minister Jiang was about to take off when he suddenly saw the emperor's eunuch, Xu Jinzhong, who was also the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, walked over with a stiff face.

This general manager Xu, who is usually overwhelming, is now full of sorrow, and his expression remains anxious.

Prime Minister Jiang finally found something wrong with the imperial guards outside. Yes, those people were too panicked, even with fear in their eyes. Their steps were empty, their hands and feet were shrunk, and they had no energy at all.

The Inner Court Lishu and the Wenyuan Pavilion court officials have always been in a bad way, but no matter how hard they fight behind their backs, they now have to squeeze out three points of smiles.

"Mr. Xu?"

"Two ministers, and all the ministers, the second prince colluded with the gangsters of the world to kill the king and usurp the throne, and it was really lawless." General Manager Xu wiped his tears, and there was a red and swollen bruise on his neck.

Prime Minister Jiang's eyes were dizzy. Only then did he see it, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this... injured?"

General Manager Xu coughed dryly, and Jiang Zhengshi explained: "In Changle Palace, from the palace servants to the guards, when they woke up, they found that there was such a scar on their neck, but there was a slightly tingling difference."

The bruises are swollen and you can touch them without a mirror.

Everyone felt the pain, reached out and looked at other people's necks, and there was nothing they didn't understand.

"Except for us waiting in the side hall, this assassin came to everyone with such a trick." Jiang Zhengshi said with a complicated expression.

This is a warning, and this bold and arrogant assassin declared in the most straightforward way that he could come and go freely in the Forbidden Palace and could easily break any person's neck.

Fame, fortune and wealth are fascinating, power, wealth and honor confusing, but you must also have the fate to enjoy it!

"Where is Commander Wang?"

Prime Minister Jiang asked about the commander of the Imperial Guards, and he remembered that the emperor also summoned this person.

"The person is awake, but he can't move." The eunuch general said with a bitter face, "There are also generals of the left and right guards who are unable to speak and move their hands, just like a useless person. They have already found Jinyiwei who understands martial arts and said that they have been clicked by someone, and they have said that they have special techniques. Only after twelve hours can they recover slowly."

Prime Minister Jiang was stunned. Before he could think about why the assassin let them go, he hurriedly asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"

Now General Manager Xu didn't dare to say anything.

When Prime Minister Jiang was taken to the back hall and saw Lu Zhang lying on the couch, he realized why both the court officials and the eunuchs had indescribable expressions.

The emperor was not dead, and it could not be considered seriously injured.

The emperor seemed to be beaten up by someone.

The nose is bruised and swollen, the corners of the mouth and eyes are broken, and there is a boxing mark that is particularly obvious.

Lu Zhang had no idea what he had become. He had injuries behind him and could not lie flat.

The dagger had been pulled out long ago. Meng Qi asked Mo Li to treat him with a wound, and then asked the second prince and the third prince to beat him up.

It is said that this is because a knife is inserted on the back, which is difficult to beat and is restricted.

This is why Meng Qi prevented the second prince from beating the emperor before, because it was a knife after all.

After the fight, Meng Qi took the second prince away, and the remaining third prince pretended to be dizzy until everyone woke up.

Lu Zhang is no longer unconscious.

Lu Zhang was guarding against someone to assassinate, so he prepared the imperial physician in Changle Palace early on. At this time, the imperial physician had finished his pulse and made Lu Zhang wake up for a short time.

When Lu Zhang saw the third prince, he was furious and trembled as he wanted someone to drag the third prince down.

However, several of his teeth fell off and his words were leaking. No one knew what he was talking about.

Lu Zhang finally conveyed the order clearly, and the court officials came one after another. He was shocked and firmly opposed it when he heard that the emperor wanted to take down the third prince.

The prince seemed to be unable to survive the summer, and the second prince rebelled and forced the palace. The sixth prince was born to love to fight against them. The third prince must not have any more trouble.

Otherwise, will we destroy the Qi Dynasty?

These important officials of Wenyuan Pavilion were wary of each other. They found that they might have encountered a huge opportunity. If possible, they could even ascend the throne and become emperor.

This idea only stayed in my mind for a moment, and then disappeared.

Due to Lu Zhang's deliberate suppression and division, the relationship between the prime minister and the military generals in the court was very bad.

Take Prime Minister Jiang, if he wants to be emperor, Prime Minister Zhang will be the first to kill him, saying that he is a traitor, and after successfully expelling the "rebellion", he supports a puppet as a powerful minister.

As the powerful ministers do it, they may become Wang Mang.

So at this time, whoever stands out will give the political enemy a handle.

Besides, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind them. They may win over the military generals and persuade the guards, but these forces are not in their hands. If there are any of these people who turn against each other, they can break into the civil officials' mansion with their troops and kill them without leaving them.

"Your Majesty, the third prince has always been very filial. How could he rebel like the second prince?"

Among the concubines in Changle Palace, one of them was a clan member of the third prince's mother's family. She cried and her voice spread far.

The third prince looked timid again, and it was useless no matter how you looked at it.

Such useless people will collude with their brother just to beat the emperor, and then his brother runs away, but he stays here and doesn't move?

The imperial physician said that the incense burner in the main hall was mixed with hallucinations.

So from the palace servants to the court officials, they felt that the emperor was affected and their minds were a little confused.

Lu Zhang was so angry that he almost died suddenly. Of course he knew that this was not an illusion, but six bones on his body were broken, and he felt so painful when he moved a little. In addition, his head was buzzing and his eyes turned black, so he couldn't lift his energy at all.

The third prince escaped and became the ideal successor in the minds of court officials.

At this moment, outside the palace walls of the imperial city.

Meng Qi slowly took out silver notes from his sleeve, and there were so many.

At that time, the second prince had a whole hundred taels of silver notes on him, while the third prince took it out was relatively scattered. The largest denomination was fifty, and the smallest was even one tael.

"Hold it." Meng Qi pulled a few pictures and threw them over.

The second prince lowered his head and counted, thirty taels.

It’s not a problem to use it for a year or two.

"Why don't you kill the emperor?" In fact, what the second prince wants to ask more is why he wants to leave the third brother and let the third brother take all the best opportunities. This is unfair.

"You think about killing the lord all day long, but you never thought that Lu Zhang was really dead. What would happen to the Qi Dynasty, what would happen to Taijing, and what would happen to the whole world?"

Meng Qi took out another fifty taels of silver notes and stuffed them into his pocket, and handed the rest to Mo Li.

Mo Li naturally took the money, and the second prince looked at it strangely.

For some reason, this scene didn’t seem like sharing the spoils, but rather like paying protection fees.

——Is this doctor the real master who is hidden and uncovered, which makes Master Meng afraid?
To be continued...
