Fan Xian did not take Li Chengqian's reminder seriously, and was too lazy to take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, within two days, something unexpected happened.
The Inspection Bureau sent out spy Teng Zijing to kill the traitor.
If he wasn't more skilled, he would have definitely failed this time.
Fan Xian, who had just been in a fight and was covered in dirt with blood on the corners of his mouth, spat.
"He really got it right!"
I thought to myself, this Crown Prince is really something.
Although he was far away in Kyoto, he knew what happened in Danzhou.
Hands and eyes reach the sky!
Fan Xian was secretly upset about this.
What happened in Danzhou was just a minor episode.
At this moment, something big happened in Kyoto.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the Southwest Gobi Tianya Society has disregarded the grace of the Emperor, killed the Imperial Envoy, declared independence, and named their country Qian."
The old eunuch ran and stumbled all the way, and was already in a panic.
The southwestern Gobi Desert has always been the territory of the Kingdom of Qing.
Although the discipline has ended in recent years, it is still the territory of Qing Kingdom after all.
Now, at the time of surrender, this unexpected change occurred.
The whole country was shocked!
In the southwestern Gobi Desert, not only did they kill the imperial envoy sent by the court, they also declared independence and established a country.
The country's name was Chengqian.
This is a big event for Qing Kingdom and the world!
What is even more thought-provoking is that this country name...
Qian, Li Chengqian!
That’s right, this country in the southwestern Gobi Desert was established under the banner of Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
When this news came out, the whole world was shocked and everyone was heartbroken.
There have always been cases of princes rebelling.
But I didn’t expect that the crown prince of the time would also go down this path.
When the news reached Kyoto, the entire city seemed to come alive.
The four city gates, east, south, west and north, were all closed.
The city walls were filled with imperial guards.
No entry or exit allowed in Kyoto.
The entire imperial city was completely blocked.
On weekdays, the guards are stationed at the city gates.
Now, all of them have been replaced by the Imperial Guards.
One hundred thousand black cavalry are also ready to go at any time.
tension!
Solemn!
In Kyoto, every household stayed indoors.
Everyone knew that something big had happened.
Outside the palace, the Imperial Guards and the Black Cavalry all went out.
No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission.
Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy!
Such a scene in the capital happened more than ten years ago.
That time, the Black Knights massacred Kyoto.
On a rainy night, crowds of people dyed the entire street red.
Now, many years have passed, and those old people still tremble with fear every time they think of it.
I never thought that I would be able to see such a scene in my lifetime.
Royal Villa.
"Wan'er, something terrible has happened!"
Ye Ling'er, dressed in red, climbed over the wall, flew up to the attic.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wan'er looked outside the palace wall. Although she couldn't see anything, she could hear the sound of footsteps.
It should be a large army dispatched.
"The prince is plotting a rebellion. The Imperial Guards, the Black Knights, and the Red Knights are all out!"
After Ye Ling'er finished speaking, Lin Wan'er's face turned pale, she instantly lost her strength and was about to fall down.
Fortunately, she just grabbed the railing and did not fall.
"Impossible, impossible..." She muttered to herself. "This is impossible!"
Ye Ling'er supported her and said, "I also got the news that all my family's guards have been replaced."
Ye Ling'er's father is the garrison commander of Kyoto. On weekdays, he is responsible for guarding the city gates of Kyoto and patrolling.
Now, all work has been taken over by the more powerful imperial guards.
The entire Kyoto is on level one alert.
"What should I do now? What should I do..."
Lin Wan'er was panicked.
His first thought was to rush to the palace to save people.
But then she looked at her fist.
"Wan'er, why do you care about him so much?" Ye Ling'er, who had been staring at her, suddenly asked.
"I..." Lin Wan'er was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"You're not falling in love with him, are you?" Ye Ling'er looked doubtful.
"At this time, you should put aside these thoughts. If the prince rebels, the outcome is predictable.
I would like to remind you not to have anything to do with her, otherwise, it will be difficult to explain. "
Lin Wan'er didn't say anything, she just pursed her lips, "Is there still hope?"
She asked.
"The Black Cavalry has been dispatched. It should be difficult to save the situation." Ye Ling'er shook her head.
"No, he won't die!" Lin Wan'er leaned against Lanshan, her face looking very ugly.
In the room, Lin Wan'er looked at her fists and punched again and again.
However, it no longer has the power it once had.
The last hope of saving people is gone.
Rebellion is a capital crime!
Lin Wan'er sat on the bed, her hands subconsciously clutching the sheets tightly.
"Is there really no hope?"
Lin House.
"Prime Minister, something big has happened!" Yuan Hongdao hurried to the study.
"I already know." Lin Ruofu stood with his hands behind his back, with an inexplicable expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"My Lord, isn't the Southwest Gobi Tianya Society accepting the amnesty? Why is it so sudden?
First he killed the imperial envoy, then he announced the establishment of a country, and he even used the prince's name as a banner." Yuan Hongdao's tone was full of shock.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to everyone.
Too sudden.
It's incredible.
"Now, no matter whether it is true or false, the prince is doomed." Yuan Hongdao sighed.
"Our Majesty is suspicious by nature. This incident may make him murderous and he may directly depose the Crown Prince and appoint another heir." Lin Ruofu said slowly.
"Sir Prime Minister, do you think the Second Prince is the most likely candidate?" Yuan Hongdao stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"If the crown prince is imprisoned, the second prince is the best choice." Prime Minister Lin said firmly.
There is no need to consider this situation at all.
"Among all the princes in the court, except for the Crown Prince, there is indeed no one who can compete with the Second Prince."
After that, Yuan Hongdao paused for a long time and asked tentatively:
"Prime Minister, should we..."
What he meant was that, now that the situation was clear, should he consider standing on the side of the Second Prince?
At the very least, some goodwill should be shown.
"The prince is doomed to fail after this." Lin Ruofu frowned, "As for Gong'er..."
"Yes, what should we do about the second young master?" Yuan Hongdao asked.
Everyone knows that Lin Gong was promoted by the prince all the way up and is his true confidant.
At this time, if the prince rebelled, I am afraid that Lin Gong would be implicated.
"Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace!" Lin Ruofu said immediately.
Now, he must sever his son's relationship with the Eastern Palace.
Rebellion is a capital crime!
In the carriage, Lin Ruofu kept a sullen expression on his face.
"I hope it's not too late..."
He only wanted to save his son. As for the prince, whether he lived or died was none of his business.
Wherever the carriage passed, there were imperial guards and black cavalry.
Rebellion is always the bottom line that cannot be touched in the emperor's heart.
Once it happens, no matter how deep the love between father and son is, they will basically be killed without mercy.
Lin Ruofu was a prime minister of the dynasty, and was good at figuring out Emperor Qing's thoughts.
Therefore, he already had some idea of what the end of the Eastern Palace would be like.
At the very least, he would be deposed from the crown prince position, exiled to a remote frontier, and never allowed to return to the capital.
Worst case, just give him poisoned wine!
In short, this time, the prince has no chance of escaping and will surely die!
