Chapter 635: Changes in the palace

As the sun sets, the civil and military officials in Chongwen Hall are already impatient. They are halfway through the imperial examination, but there is no movement at all. They don’t know what happened in the palace.

In another half an hour, the palace gate will be set. Li Ganshun and Chen Ao will never appear again, and the ministers will have to leave the palace.

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps, but the pale face of Huaide came.

Huaide has a high status in the inner palace and many people recognize him. Huaide has always been calm and confident, but today he has a pale face and looks anxious. He entered the palace with panic in his eyes and said, "Please leave the palace."

The ministers whispered, and someone stood up and said, "Where is Your Majesty? Where is that Shen Ao?"

Huaide fought a cold war and said with a voice: "Your Majesty's edict, all unrelated people will leave the palace. Without the edict, no one is allowed to meet!"

This sentence was extremely stern, and the ministers had no choice but to go out one after another. After coming out of Chongwen Hall, they saw several eunuchs running hurriedly towards the palace gate. In the distance, several imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes ran from the Imperial Hospital to the harem.

The imperial guards in the palace suddenly increased a lot, and warriors wearing golden armor appeared in groups, and the towering palace city was extremely vicious.

What happened?

Everyone was shocked. The old ministers who had experienced the previous dynasty were also complaining in their hearts that such a scene only happened when the late emperor passed away. Even the night when Zijiu killed the empress dowager today, he was not so nervous.

"Mr. Enfu..." Dozens of Han officials surrounded Yang Zhen, and the Minister of War Zhu Lu said in a disgusting way: "Is something wrong?"

Seeing the shocked faces looking at him, Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat and he barely cheered up and said, "Don't pay attention, do your part, and go out of the palace first."

The vassal officials were also whispering, and a few of them suddenly showed a happy look on their faces, but this happy look was just a flash of time.

All the officials left the palace in a bustling manner; King Yue and the clan kings led the tribes to kneel outside the palace gate. Li Ganzheng was already numb with his knees and stood up by two people. He attracted several vassal officials and asked, "What's wrong?"

A vassal official whispered: "Your Highness, it's inconvenient to speak here, so I'd better go back and worry about it."

Li Ganzheng said angrily: "What? Chen Ao is still alive? Humph, I am irreconcilable with him. Chen Ao is immortal. I will kneel down with everyone."

The vassal official pulled his sleeves and, as he had no choice but to attach it to his ears and said, "There is a change in the palace!"

These four words made Li Ganzheng stunned for a moment, then looked at the sect kings around him, hesitating whether to go back to the mansion first. At this time, the imperial guards in front of the palace suddenly came out in groups and closed the palace gate tightly.

At this time, there should be half an hour before the time to close the door, and the palace gate was closed half an hour in advance. This is something that Li Ganshun had never seen since he took power.

The officials, sect kings and nationalities who were stranded outside were in an uproar. They saw the red-lacquered gate in front of them closed heavily. Someone couldn't help but say, "What time is it now?"

"The second moment of You!"

No one asked this question anymore, they were all silent.

Li Ganzheng's eyes flashed, and suddenly realized that a pride was no longer important. The most urgent task at the moment was to understand what was going on in this deep palace and to discuss with his own party members immediately.

Li Ganzheng winked at the sect kings, and then said to the person behind him: "Go back to home."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Yue Palace has never been as lively as today. The Yue Palace has not been in the early morning to the evening, and the water has not yet entered, so he knelt for another day. Originally, when he returned to the mansion, he should have eaten something to fill his stomach first. However, the Yue Palace did not seem to have the intention, and rushed to the main hall and immediately told everyone not to get close.

One after another, there were sect kings, vassal officials, and many vassal generals. These people rarely came to the palace to go around, but today, they suddenly lost their scruples.

King Yue picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and barely became energetic. Then he asked a few vassal officials who had just entered the court: "What happened in the palace?"

A vassal official said: "What happened? The lower official didn't know. Your Majesty was going to be the judge, but that guy Chen Ao said something important to him and then his Majesty asked Chen Ao to go to the warm pavilion."

Li Gan raised his eyebrows and said playfully, "What's the point? Is it so mysterious?"

The vassal official continued: "I waited for three hours later, and there was no news from the warm room. After that, the old man Huaide came over anxiously."

Li Ganzheng naturally knew his weight and continued to ask: "He is also anxious? It seems that something really happened."

"Then Huaide then passed the imperial edict of His Majesty and drove us out of Chongwen Hall. When he came out of Chongwen Hall, the lower officials found that the entire palace was in chaos. Not only the eunuchs and the imperial guards, but also the lower officials also saw several imperial doctors, one of whom was the leader, vaguely like the imperial doctor of Chu."

Li Gan's face changed and said in surprise: "Are you talking about Chu Zhengfeng? This person is best at treating knife injuries. Could it be that someone in the palace was injured?"

The vassal official said: "I don't know the other officials, prince, can you..."

In just a moment, everyone seemed to have a guess. This guess should be the most reasonable thing at the moment, but no one said it.

Chen Ao wanted to tell Li Ganshun a secret matter. From the beginning, it might have been a scam. When he arrived at the Warm Pavilion, Chen Ao suddenly committed an assassination and assassinated Li Ganshun. Li Ganshun was assassinated by someone, so the whole palace was naturally in chaos. Not only did he strengthen the guards and closed the palace gate early, but the imperial physician rushed to the harem.

What Li Ganzheng most doubts the most is whether his emperor brother died? Even if he was only injured, how serious was this injury?

Li Ganzheng pondered for a moment, looked at the people in the hall, and said slowly: "Call people immediately and get news from the palace. What happened, I must know." He stood up and suddenly felt a little bit of enthusiasm: "Use all the relationships, and never stop until you find out. There is another thing... The Dragon Bag Guard must also be prepared, so don't let the thieves have an opportunity to take advantage of. The Tiger Power Army does not need to rely on, but the Yulin Guard can give it a try."

In addition to the Han vanguards, the Wuwei Army, the Wuwei Army, can only remain neutral, and the Yulin Guard can fight for it. In addition to its own Long Rang Guard, the King of Yue is confident that he has enough power to make himself invincible when the sudden change comes.

Li Ganzheng glanced at the sect king and vassal officials in the hall, and said, "If you don't want to do it, I will not give you any instructions. You should know how to do it. Keep the Han officials close and be careful that they will move."

After saying that, Li Ganzheng waved his hand and went to rest tiredly.

The atmosphere of Longxing Mansion suddenly became tense. The emperor had not summoned the ministers for three or four days, but the palace gate was still closed. The imperial guards were obviously a little tighter. It is said that there was an imperial edict coming out and the powerful army of the tiger was transferred into the palace to garrison.

The Nine Gate has already been ***, and news outside the city cannot be spread. Some say that the Huwei Army has eliminated the Song army, while others say that the Song army has fled. Various speculations and rumors have spread, making the public nervous.

The news in the palace was extremely strict. No matter what means were used, even if there was an internal response in the palace, the news could not be revealed. King Yue was becoming more and more impatient.

At this time, one night, just as the King of Yue was restless and unable to sleep, news came from the doorman.

"Prince, there is a father-in-law asking for a meeting!"

King Yue almost jumped up from the bed and said naked: "Call him in." The concubine on the couch was startled and screamed in surprise. Li Ganzheng slapped her impatiently on her face: "What are you calling in the middle of the night?" Li Ganzheng's voice was slightly trembling, then he turned his shoes, put on a piece of clothes, and then went to the side hall with a lantern.

The little eunuch who came was very embarrassed, covered in dust, wet body, limping with one foot, and struggling to salute Li Ganzheng. Li Ganzheng waved his hand and said, "Who are you?"

This little eunuch is indeed very unfamiliar with hundreds or thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and not everyone Li Ganzheng recognizes them.

The little eunuch whispered: "It was Eunuch Zhao who called the slave."

Hearing the three words of Eunuch Zhao, Li Ganzheng almost jumped up. His eyes glanced at him suspiciously and said, "No, Eunuch Zhao should be his godson. How could he let you come?"

The little eunuch said anxiously: "Now the palace is in chaos, everyone has errands, and not everyone can walk away. The slave and Eunuch Zhao gathered to gamble, and lost more than a thousand taels of silver, and... and... not to mention..."

"Besides what..."

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "The slave is a little unclear. He took some things he shouldn't have to take. He was discovered by Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao said that as long as the slave is willing to send a letter to King Yue, he will not only write off the gambling debts, but also will never report it to the slave. There will be great wealth in the future..."

Li Ganzheng was also unsure of his mind. He didn't know whether the eunuch was credible, so he said, "How did you come out?"

The little eunuch said with a bitter face: "How else can you come out? If you climb over the wall, your legs will break when you jump down. It's even more uncomfortable than death. You have to swim through the moat outside the palace. It's a life-and-death life. If it weren't for the fact that the slave was quite strong, I would have been desperate to come to see the prince long ago."

Seeing that he was wet, his legs and feet were limping again, and bleeding from one of his trousers, his whole body was shaking, but he believed it a little, and said with a smile: "Do you have a letter from Eunuch Zhao?"
