Chapter 128 Returning to Beijing (2)

On August 2nd, Pei Rongbai, Qiao Songyu and others were assassinated by assassins before they arrived in the capital. Fortunately, Pei Rongbai had exchanged news with Mu Qianyin at that time, so he was on guard and no one was injured.

However, worse news came soon -

The emperor is under house arrest by King Jing!

King Jing claimed that His Majesty was sick and could not deal with political affairs before the court. He canceled the early court and intercepted all the memorials. He himself became the person who actually held power.His people are everywhere in the palace. Liu Tianchi, the commander of the Feathered Forest Army who was in charge of guarding the palace, was bought by King Jing, and the Feathered Forest Army became his minion.

Pei Rongbai was very anxious, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he hurried into the palace.

I haven't seen it for a few months, but the palace is still magnificent and majestic. The difference is that the security seems to be extremely tight. The guards are almost three steps, one post and ten steps, and there are guards in line to patrol back and forth.

Pei Rongbai entered the palace smoothly, but when he arrived at the Emperor's Qihui Palace, he was stopped by two guards guarding the door:

"stop!"

Pei Rongbai frowned, and scolded: "Presumptuous! Who are you! How dare you prevent the truth from meeting His Majesty! Can you afford to miss a big deal!"

One of the guards said arrogantly: "Your Majesty is sick, no one should disturb you! No one will come!"

"Who gave you the order?" Pei Rongbai raised his voice, a pair of sharp black eyes were brewing a storm, and his complexion was even colder, "Your Majesty will never see the truth!"

"I-I don't care about this, I'll just follow the order!" The guard was still a little afraid of Pei Rongbai's aura, but he was still very tough, "Lord Prime Minister, if you insist on going in, wait for His Majesty to summon you."Bar!"

"Oh, summoned?" Pei Rongbai sneered, and said, "You are obviously under house arrest, so what time is there to summon you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice:

"Hey, why is Mr. Pei so angry?"

Pei Rongbai turned around and looked, only to see Jing Wang Mu Chengan standing behind him, he was wearing a light yellow woven satin jacket, a crow blue bird-patterned rhinoceros belt was tied around his waist, and a gemstone-studded forehead was on his forehead, with a meaningful sneer on his face somewhat similar to Mu Qianyin, saw him, and said:

"Mr. Pei has been to Yang City for a long time, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the current capital situation?"

"Oh, although I have been away from the capital for a long time, I also know the duty of returning to Beijing to report on my duties and meet His Majesty. Your Majesty has the final say on whether to see me or not. Now you unilaterally stop me and don't even report the news of my request to see you.Your Majesty, this is treason!" Pei Rongbai said coldly, his tone couldn't help but increase.

"I don't want to, either. His Majesty told me that he didn't want to see anyone, so I had no choice but to do it!" King Jing said, smiling triumphantly, looking at Pei Rongbai's angry face, as if he was very pleased, "Pei RongbaiSir, you can come back tomorrow, maybe your majesty will be better tomorrow, and he will be willing to see you!"

"Hmph!" Pei Rongbai flicked his sleeves heavily, "Mu Chengan, you are so proud, do you think you can be Cao Cao? Let me tell you, persisting in evil brings about self-destruction, this throne was not yours four years ago, four years agoIt will never be yours after another year!"

"You..." King Jing was stabbed in the sore spot, his complexion changed, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's read the libretto while riding a donkey, we'll see!"

Pei Rongbai sneered, turned and left.

Recruitment Hall.

"Lord Prime Minister, now King Jing is running rampant, and His Majesty is being held hostage again, what should I do!"

"That's right, Lord Prime Minister, now we are leaderless, you are back!"

"Lord Prime Minister, the court is in chaos now, and I hope you will preside over the overall situation!"

In the hall, a group of ministers in official uniforms complained to Pei Rongbai about the current chaotic situation in the court, begging him to come out and preside over the overall situation.After all, when the first emperor had just passed away and the present sage had just succeeded to the throne, the court was also in chaos, it was Pei Rongbai who tried his best to turn the tide and settle the court down.

"Everyone, stay safe and don't be impatient!" Seeing this, Pei Rongbai was still a little comforted in his heart. After all, most of the high-ranking officials and confidential ministers in the court were on the side of the emperor.The senior official himself said in a loud voice, "This matter is urgent, but haste brings no success. King Jing has been planning for a long time. Bashu, which is next to the Qing State, even secretly raised an army. Therefore, we still have to plan carefully and think of a plan."It’s a safe bet.”

He already had a preliminary plan in his mind, but in case there were King Jing's people in the crowd in front of him, he still kept it secret.

"The most urgent thing is to see His Majesty." Pei Rongbai couldn't see Mu Qianyin, and he was very anxious, for fear that the Prince would be murdered by King Jing, "Therefore, I will take the lead in the court tomorrow morning. Please come to the gate of Qihui Palace with me.If there is a commotion, Mu Chengan will definitely compromise, although we can't let all of us in, it's a good thing if someone goes in."

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement:

"Okay, as the Lord Prime Minister said!"

"Yes, listen to Lord Prime Minister!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

...

As soon as Qiao Songyu got home, she went to see her general.

The little tiger cub has grown to the size of a dog. When he saw him, he still knew him. He came up to him like a cat and asked him to hug him: "General, do you still recognize me? You have grown up so much, they must have fed you very much."Ok?"

The general rubbed his cheek vigorously and licked him with his tongue, expressing his great welcome.

"Hee hee, it's so itchy..." Qiao Songyu was playing with the general when he heard someone calling himself from behind:

"Songer!"

When he turned around, seeing that it was Qiao Zeyu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stood up: "Second brother!"

"It's me. You came to see the little tiger as soon as you got home, but you didn't go home to have a look? Mom and Dad miss you so much!" After not seeing you for a long time, Qiao Zeyu still had the same charm, but it seemed a little more than before.Sophisticated, less bookish.

"Hey, second brother..." Qiao Songyu ran up to Qiao Zeyu and plunged into his arms, "I also miss my second brother and my parents, how about I go home with you?"

"Where is Lord Prime Minister?" Qiao Zeyu asked, "I want to meet him first, and tell him something important before taking you back."

"He went back to the palace to report on his duties, and he hasn't come back yet!" Qiao Songyu left the arms of her second brother and said, "Why don't you wait for him for a while... What important things do you want to tell him? Is it about His Majesty??”

"Well, it's not only about His Majesty, but also about King Jing. I got some news that might be useful to him." Qiao Zeyu said with a serious expression on his face.There is a danger of overturning the country!"

Qiao Songyu was taken aback, she didn't expect that the current situation has reached such a point!
