Chapter 718: The opening (I) _1

Translator: 549690339

Now that the palace had become a place of trouble, no foreign officials were allowed to enter the palace. The princes and princesses in the palace, as well as the concubines, naturally could not summon foreign officials.

So Princess huaiqing has something to tell me? Xu Qi ‘an immediately followed the captain of the guards, rode his beloved little mare, and rushed to huaiqing Manor.

The huaiqing Manor was located in the highest part of the Imperial City and the most heavily guarded area.

In this area, there were the residences of the royal family, as well as the residences of the princes and princesses like Lin an. It was an important place that was only second to the Imperial Palace.

I’m the chief of the Chuzhou case. Although I’m not in the center of the storm, I’m still one of the main people involved. Why is huaiqing looking for me at this time? it must be because he hasn’t seen me for a long time and misses me very much …

To be honest, it was Xu Qi ‘an’s first time in huaiqing Prefecture. On the other hand, he had been to the second princess’s residence many times. If it were not for the fact that there were too many spies and it was against the rules, Xu Qi’ an could have asked for an exclusive guest room in Lin ‘an Prefecture.

The layout of huaiqing Prefecture was the same as Lin ‘an Prefecture, but overall, it was more towards a cold, simple and elegant style. From the plants in the courtyard to the decoration, everything revealed a sense of indifference.

In the spacious and bright living room, Xu Qi ‘an saw huaiqing, a woman as simple and elegant as a Snow Lotus, whom he had not seen in a long time.

She was wearing a plain Palace dress with a light yellow chiffon outside. It was simple but not simple. Half of her black hair was let down, and the other half was tied up into a bun with a Jade hairpin and a golden buyao.

Her facial features were beautiful and not lacking in any sense of the word. Her eyebrows were exquisitely long and straight, and her eyes were big, bright, and deep, just like a clear pool after autumn.

“Your Highness!”

Xu Qi ‘an cupped his fists. He wanted to ask her with a smile if she liked the seal he had given her, but when the words reached his mouth, he lost the mood to tease her. He sat down at huaiqing’s gesture.

“Tell me the details of the Northern Territory.” Huaiqing’s expression was indifferent, but his brows were slightly serious and gloomy. He did not seem to be in the mood to chat.

Xu Qi ‘an told him in detail about what had happened in Chuzhou.

After hearing this, huaiqing was silent for a long time. Her beautiful face showed no joy or anger, and she said softly,”Accompany me to the courtyard for a walk.”

The back garden of the princess’s Manor was very large. The two of them walked side by side without saying a word, but the atmosphere was not awkward. There was a sense of harmony as if they had met an old friend in the peaceful years.

“Imperial father is wrong. King Huai is first a Prince, then a warrior. In life, the higher one’s status was, the more one had to consider the position they were sitting on. This is the foundation of my standing.”

“Therefore, King Huai deserved to die, even though Da Feng lost a peak-level martial artist,” huaiqing sighed after a long time.

What about your father? Did he also deserve to die?

“Your Highness, you’re just,” Xu Qi ‘an said softly.

Huaiqing shook her head, a look of disappointment appearing on her elegant face.’What does this have to do with righteousness? It was just that his blood had yet to turn cold. ‘I …’ I’m very disappointed in father.”

Just as Xu Qi ‘an was about to speak, he suddenly received a message from huaiqing. father is not afraid. It’s his strategy.

Princess huaiqing’s cultivation was not shallow. If she wanted to transmit her voice, she had to reach the spirit-forging stage. She had been keeping. low profile all this time … Xu Qian was shocked and asked, ”

“Strategy?”

Huaiqing slowly nodded and explained, “Did you notice that in these three days, among the Civil officials blocking the palace gates, who left, who came, and who was just watching the show?” Xu Qi ‘an was speechless.

After looking at him, huaiqing continued,

“When the news of King Huai’s massacre reaches the capital, whether it’s a treacherous or a good official, whether it’s indignant or for the sake of fame, it’s impossible for any scholar to not have any reaction. At this moment, the crowd was in high spirits, and the waves were at their fiercest. That was why his Imperial father had avoided it and had shut himself in the palace.

“However, after a spurt of energy, it will weaken and be exhausted. When the Dukes calmed down, when someone achieved his goal of making a name for himself, when other voices appeared in the officialdom, that would be the time for his father to truly compete with the Dukes. This day won’t be too far away. This Prince guarantees that it will be within three days.”

After she finished speaking, she snorted again, as if she was mocking and disdainful, ‘”‘Now that the capital is filled with rumors, the people are both shocked and angry. All levels of society are discussing it. However, his father’s true opponents were only in the Imperial court. And not those peddlers.”

Xu Qi ‘an frowned and said in a deep voice, ” but King Huai massacred the entire city. He has to give the Lords and the people of the world an explanation.

“Let’s see how chief advisor Wang and Duke Wei will make their moves,” huaiqing sighed pessimistically.

In the heavy atmosphere, Xu Qi ‘an changed the topic. “Your Highness once studied at Yun Lu Academy. Have you heard of a book called” the ruins of the great Zhou “?”

“I’ve never heard of it.” Huaiqing shook his head.

On this day, the indignant civil officials still failed to break into the palace and see Emperor Yuan jing. After dusk, they went their separate ways.

However, the Civil officials did not give up. They agreed to come again tomorrow. If Emperor Yuan jing did not give an explanation, the entire imperial court would be paralyzed.

It was also on this day that different voices appeared in the officialdom.

Someone worriedly asked, “”lf everyone knows about the North vanquishing

Prince’s massacre in the city, where will the dignity of the Imperial court be? The people of the world must be extremely disappointed in the imperial family and the Imperial court.”

North vanquishing Prince was the emperor’s blood brother. He was a Prince, not an ordinary Prince.

At the same time, he was the military God of Dafeng and the protector of the North in the hearts of the people.

Such a person massacred a city for his own selfish reasons!

The repercussions of this matter were that the people would lose trust in the Imperial court, the royal family would lose face, and the hearts of the people would be lost.

Could a single sentence of “the North vanquishing Prince has been executed” really heal the trauma in the hearts of the people?

This was completely different from killing a corrupt official.

In the past 20 years, the image of the North vanquishing Prince had been great. He was the God of War, The Guardian of the Northern Territory, and the Prince of a generation.

How could a corrupt official compare to him? Killing a corrupt official would only show the dignity of the Imperial court and the royal family.

However, if the royal family committed such a brutal act, would the people clap their hands in joy like they did when they killed a corrupt official? No, their faith would collapse, and they would lose trust in the imperial family and the Imperial court.

It turns out that the North vanquishing Prince that we praise and love is such a character.

It might even cause an even greater reaction.

On the same day, the Crown Prince of the East Palace was assassinated in his bedroom after dusk.

That night, the palace gates were closed, and the Imperial Army searched the entire Palace for the assassin, but to no avail.

The next day, the four gates of the capital were shut down. Wang zhenwen and Wei Yuan were the first to be mobilized, and the five guards, bailiffs, and night watchmen were all mobilized to search for the assassin.

Door to door.

The entire capital was in chaos.

“What does the Crown Prince have to do with this? How could it be that the assassination attempt was in vain? was it a coincidence, or was it part of the game? If it’s the latter, then that’s too tragic.”

Early in the morning, Xu Qi ‘an went to see Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan didn’t see him.

Helplessly, he could only turn to the courier station and plan to discuss with Zheng xinghuai.

“Lord Zheng has gone out and is not at the relay station.”

Li Han, who was carrying the bull horn bow, welcomed Xu Qi ‘an into the house and said in a deep voice, ”

“Recently, there have been some different voices in the officialdom, saying that the North vanquishing case is very difficult to deal with. It concerns the prestige of the Imperial court and the People’s hearts of all places, so it needs to be treated with caution.

“Lord Zheng is very angry and left this morning. He seems to be going to the

Directorate to give a sermon.”

They were the old Emperor’s Internet Water Army … Xu Qi ‘an sighed. He admired Emperor yuanjing a little. After playing with power for so many years, although he was not a competent Emperor, he was not muddleheaded.

Together with Li Han, he rode a horse to the Directorate.

From a distance, he could see Zheng bu standing outside the Directorate, feeling emotional.

“The sage said that the people are more important than the ruler .

Prince, North vanquishing Prince slaughtered the people and treated them like livestock. He is the common enemy of US scholars …

as scholars, we should seek happiness for the common people and make contributions. Therefore, I returned to the capital and vowed to seek justice for the 380000 people of Chu Prefecture city …

Was there any use in doing this?

Of course it was useful. Some of the newly rising great Confucians (academic great Confucians) liked to preach in places like the Directorate before they became famous.

To spread their own academic ideas.

If they could gain the recognition of the students and make a name for themselves, then establishing a sect would not be a problem.

Zheng xinghuai was not spreading ideas. He was criticizing North vanquishing Prince and calling on the students to join the army of criticism.

The effect was very good. Scholars, especially young students, were full of ambition and hot-blooded, far purer than the wily old foxes in the officialdom.

Since ancient times, most of the people who caused trouble and paraded were young people.

“No one came to stop it?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Li Han shook his head.

This didn’t make sense … Xu Qi ‘an frowned.

He waited patiently by the side of the road until Zheng xinghuai had finished venting his anger and returned with Shentu Baili and the other guards. Only then did Xu Qi ‘an go up to him.

“This is not the place to talk. Xu yinluo, follow me back to the relay station.” Zheng xinghuai’s face was stoic and serious as he nodded slightly.

After returning to the relay station, Zheng xinghuai led Xu Qi ‘an into the study room. After Li Han served tea, the scholar who had experienced ups and downs in life looked at Xu Qi’ an and said, ”

“Is it because of the rumors in the officialdom today?” that’s only one of the reasons. He was the one who spread the rumors, but it’s not without reason. We have to be careful. Xu Qi ‘an sighed and said, “I’m mainly here for the case of the crown prince’s assassination.”

“In this case, who was the most active?” Zheng xinghuai muttered.

“Lord Wei and chief advisor Wang,” Xu Qi ‘an was stunned.

Zheng xinghuai sat up straight and nodded. “This is most likely a scheme by

Lord Wei and chief advisor Wang. As for their purpose, I don’t know.”

Ah? Lord Wei and chief advisor Wang wanted to assassinate the Crown Prince?

What was the reason? did the Crown Prince have anything to do with this case. Xu Qi ‘an could never have imagined this answer.

After discussing for a long time, Zheng xinghuai looked at the water clock in the room and said in a deep voice,”l still have to visit an old friend in the capital, so I won’t keep Xu yinluo.”

Xu Qi ‘an got up and walked to the door. Zheng xinghuai’s voice came from behind, “”Xu yinluo …” He said.

He looked back.

Xu Qi ‘an turned around and returned the salute with a serious face.

“The young hero befriended the five heroes. Liver and gallbladder cave. His hair stood up. In the middle of the conversation.

He opened the door and stepped out of the threshold. After a few steps, Zheng xinghuai’s chanting came from the room behind him.

“The young hero befriended the five heroes. Liver and gallbladder cave. His hair stood up. In the middle of the conversation. Life and death. A promise is worth a thousand gold .

The world was chaotic and noisy. If he could retire after achieving success and only leave behind a leisurely idyllic garden, it would not be bad … Xu Qi ‘an smiled.

The Imperial Palace.

Emperor Yuan jing sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes half-closed, and said lightly, “”Have you caught the assassin?”

“No news.” The old eunuch shook his head and replied respectfully.

“Since you can’t catch him, then there’s no need to catch him.”

Emperor Yuan jing opened his eyes and smiled coldly. He said with a sigh, ” in the Imperial court, only Wei Yuan and Wang zhenwen are interesting. The others are not as good.

The old eunuch lowered his head. He did not comment, nor did he dare to comment.

Emperor Yuan jing continued, ” send someone out of the palace. Pass a message to those on the list. There’s no need to be ostentatious. But there’s also no need to be careful.

After a pause, he continued, ” inform the cabinet. I will gather all of you in the

Imperial study tomorrow. We’re here to discuss the Chu Zhou case.”

The old eunuch’s breathing quickened as he said, “”Yes!”
