"Commander…"
"Commander…"
Just as Xu Yuanliang was slightly stunned, a guard called out to him.
Xu Yuanliang could only force himself to take a few more deep breaths and suppress his surging emotions to maintain his rational judgment.
With the current chaos, the palace had gradually spread into panic.
It was already far beyond what he could handle…
Since that was the case, let's do it this way.
Xu Yuanliang weighed his options and made a decision.
"Men, escort the Empress Dowager back to the palace and call the Imperial Physician to treat her.”
"Tonight, His Majesty was assassinated by an assassin. It is a matter of national grief, but the monarch is the foundation of the country!
We must inform the important officials of the Imperial Court of this matter as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the Zhen Wu Empire.
That night, he sent someone to inform the officials above the third rank of the imperial court for a discussion.
To deal with the Emperor's funeral."
"At the same time, inform the city guards to lock down the Imperial City together with the Imperial Guards!
Investigate the entire capital city and capture all the assassins to repay the king's kindness!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Here…"
……
Following Xu Yuanliang's orders, the Imperial Guards quickly began to carry out their duties.
More and more imperial guards were dispatched, and the quiet night of the entire Imperial City was completely broken.
It was now the last hour of the night. Between two and three in the morning, many of the officials were sleeping soundly.
However, with the heavy news from the palace, all the officials were instantly awakened, and there was no longer any sleepiness in their eyes.
All the important officials who had received the imperial guards 'orders immediately put on their court robes and rushed into the palace.
A ruler was actually assassinated in the palace.
If this matter was not dealt with as soon as possible, the country would be in turmoil and the hearts of the people would be unstable!
During this night, the commotion on the palace path did not stop at all.
The six departments of Shangshu Ling, the Duke, the Left and Right Ministers of the Imperial Court…
All the important officials of the imperial court above the third rank were gathered in the palace to deal with the emperor's funeral.
At the same time, they urgently discussed how to avoid panic and stabilize the country.
In short, the palace of True Martial was completely caught off guard by Si Hao's death that night.
The palace was in chaos…
……
The next day.
The wind is clear and the air is bright.
The atmosphere in the King of Subei's Mansion was different from the tension in the palace. Instead, it was peaceful.
As usual, Qin Mo sat quietly in the pavilion in the courtyard and ate his breakfast unhurriedly.
The maidservant at the side was serving him respectfully. Qin Ren stood at the side and whispered to Qin Mo,"
"Master.
In the palace, many imperial guards were sent out overnight to escort the officials above the third rank into the palace. None of them returned overnight.
According to this old servant's inquiry, the palace is already under martial law. I heard that assassins infiltrated the palace last night.”
"Yes."
Qin Mo took a sip of the soup and nodded.
Only Qin Mo and the Four Divine Guards who had attempted to assassinate Si Hao that night knew about it. He knew much more about this than Qin Ren.
"Get ready. Follow this prince into the palace later.”
Qin Mo put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Qin Ren.
"Yes, Master."
Qin Ren immediately left.
Although he did not know why his master had entered the palace, he knew that he could be promoted to the position of steward by his master.
It was because he had always been the principle of doing things. He spoke less and did more.
Therefore, no matter how puzzled he was, Qin Ren could suppress his curiosity.
"Da da da-"
Just as Qin Mo was about to stand up and walk around the courtyard,
Suddenly, a series of steady and powerful footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
Following that, a guard came to the courtyard and walked quickly in Qin Mo's direction.
"Your highness, there are city guards outside the manor who wish to meet your highness.
This subordinate wanted to expel him, but he said that as long as he handed this note to His Highness, His Highness would see him.”
"Hmm?"
Qin Mo's eyes narrowed as he reached out to take the note from the guard.
When he opened it, he saw that there was only one word written on it with a brush. It was the word "Master".
If others saw this note, they would definitely not know what it meant.
However, when Qin Mo saw this, he could not help but think of the system.
Was this one of the important officials who were loyal to him?
A position in the city guard army…an important official in the court…
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows as if he had thought of something. He immediately ordered,"
"Bring him to the front hall. This king will be there soon.”
"Here!"
The guard received the order and quickly went down to make arrangements.
After Si Hao was assassinated, the city guards and the imperial guards sealed off the imperial city and searched for the assassin.
The city guards gathered in front of the residence of King Subei, so there must be many people.
With such an external factor, it was naturally more appropriate to meet in the front hall.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Qin Mo came to the front hall.
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man with a square face and a wide nose was sitting on a chair in the front hall.
On the table at the side, someone had already served tea.
However, the middle-aged man was not in the mood to drink tea. Instead, he seemed a little reserved and did not look sideways.
At the first glance of this middle-aged man, Qin Mo already had the feeling of meeting the three Imperial Emissaries the last time.
He was certain that the middle-aged man in front of him was an important official of the imperial court who was loyal to him.
"All of you can leave."
Qin Mo waved his sleeves, and in the next moment, all the servants in the front hall retreated.
Only the middle-aged man and Qin Mo were left in the large front hall.
