Chapter 53: Knocking on Dali
Prince of Dali, Duan Yu, assassinated the Iron Gut Divine Marquis, Zhu Bujue!
Although it was already night, this news was like a raging fire in the dark night that could not hide the light.
In an instant, it started to ferment in Daming Capital.
Zhao Gao also received the news.
Even if Zhu Houzhao would be disturbed if he were to make a report late at night, he did not hesitate at all because this news was more important.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon throne in his black dragon robe, quietly listening to Zhao Gao's report.
His calm face gradually turned angry.
A mere Prince of Dali actually dared to assassinate the Ming Imperial Family!
Who gave him the guts!
The status of a king and minister was obvious. If he was assassinated by an enemy country, it would be stepping over the line. A life-and-death battle would definitely erupt between the two countries.
Who gave him the courage to go to a place as big as Dali?
Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something.
Who gave Duan Yu the courage…
"Zhao Gao, tell me, why did Duan Yu assassinate Zhu Bujue?”
He turned around and asked Zhao Gao.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it must be because of the Dali diplomatic mission. Southern Zhenwang Duan Zheng Chun is his father, and Princess Duan Xin Yao is his sister. Now that they're both dead, Duan Yu must hold a grudge against them. Perhaps…"
As he spoke, Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment. After a long time, his eyes lit up and said,"Your Majesty, do you mean that that faction has intervened? With the White Purple Jade's framing, even if it was fake, it would be real!”
The corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth slightly rose as he nodded and said,""You're right. Borrowing a knife to kill! Duan Yu had been used as a weapon by someone.”
What gave Duan Yu courage was not the Northern Dark Divine Art Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Wave Subtle Steps, but hatred.
How could he let go of a blood feud?
Since the mastermind behind this matter was able to obtain the Purple White Jade to frame Zhu Bujue, then it could also make Duan Yu lose his mind and assassinate the Ming Imperial Family!
Zhao Gao thought about it and couldn't help but ask," Your Majesty, what should we do about this? Should I go and take Duan Yu from Zhu Bujue's hands?”
Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and said,"You can mention him, but Duan Yu can't be innocent. I want to take this opportunity to beat Dali." Also, what about Gao Shengtai?"
Zhao Gao understood and continued," Gao Shengtai hasn't shown himself yet. But I think that once he gets the news, he will definitely rush into the palace to see Your Majesty."”
There were many ears and eyes in the East and West Chambers.
Duan Yu and Gao Shengtai's activities in Daming Capital had long been under Zhu Houzhao's control.
However, since they were unwilling to show themselves, Zhu Houzhao did not go back and force them.
at this time
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and rubbed the jade scepter in his hand. After a moment, he said,"Alright, go get him. Duan Yu is a good bargaining chip and can't be left in Zhu Bujue's hands.”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he left the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
......
Just as Zhao Gao said.
Once Gao Shengtai received the news, he immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace to meet Zhu Houzhao.
Last night.
After he chased after her, she was nowhere to be seen. He thought to himself, Oh no, I've fallen into a trap.
As expected, when he returned, Duan Yu was no longer in the inn.
In just a dozen breaths.
A living person had disappeared!
He guessed that with Duan Yu's martial arts realm that was no weaker than his, if he encountered an enemy, it was absolutely impossible for him to not be able to resist for more than ten breaths of time.
The only possibility was that Duan Yu had been tricked.
He didn't know where he had lied to.
In the vast Great Ming Capital, where could he find her!
After thinking about it, he could only try his luck at the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa and Six Fan School.
As soon as he arrived at the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, he heard a piece of news.
Prince of Dali assassinated the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Bujue and was thrown into prison!
Gao Shengtai was burning with anxiety when he heard that.
He immediately rushed to the Chamberlain of Dependencies and expressed his identity as Marquis Shanchan of Dali and requested to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
If he didn't get to the bottom of this matter, Duan Yu would most likely only have one outcome.
That was death.
With the crime of assassinating the Ming royal family, even if Duan Yu died, Dali could not say anything.
As the only heir to the throne.
Nothing must happen to Duan Yu!
Otherwise, how could he, Shan Chanhou, report to them? Even if Duan Yu wasn't a prince, Gao Shengtai had watched Duan Yu grow up, so he would still try his best to save him.
After revealing his identity, the Chamberlain of Dependencies arranged for him to meet with the emperor as usual.
Therefore, Gao Shengtai came before Zhu Houzhao.
A tired smile appeared on his thin face. He looked at Zhu Houzhao and said,""Your Majesty, this matter is purely a misunderstanding. I hope Your Majesty can investigate it clearly and release our country's prince.”
Zhu Houzhao had given him a seat, so he was sitting now. However, it was shorter than Zhu Houzhao's dragon throne.
Zhu Houzhao looked away from Gao Shengtai and glanced at Zhao Gao without saying anything.
Zhao Gao immediately understood and took a small step forward.
"Marquis Gao, the East Chamber has already investigated this matter very thoroughly. Prince Duan Yu of Dali has indeed assassinated the Great Ming Imperial Family and injured the secret agent of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, Duan Tianya. I wonder if Dali can give an explanation?”
"This…"
Gao Shengtai was speechless.
He knew that Duan Yu must have assassinated Zhu Bujue. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thrown into prison for no reason.
But once this sort of thing was set in stone, it would be very difficult for Duan Yu to escape.
Now, Zhao Gao's tone was so unyielding.
He was forcing him to admit it!
Gao Shengtai knew this very well.
He sighed and said helplessly,"Dali is willing to apologize to the Great Ming Imperial Family!”
