Chapter 801 The Emperor’s Wrath!
"What, Mo Yingying was rescued by Chu Ning?"
In Kyoto City, screams were heard from a secret room.
Then, an angry roar sounded: "Waste, what a bunch of waste, so many people killed Mo Yushan's family, and they still left them alive!
Now that Mo Yingying has been rescued by Chu Ning, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. If he finds out that we are responsible, we will be beheaded."
The man in black kneeling in the secret room lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "Let's try again, if we can kill Mo Yingying..."
"fart!"
The angry voice sounded again: "Mo Yingying is in the Chu Palace, can you still go to the Chu Palace to kill people?
Do you know that our entire plan has failed because of your incompetence?
I thought that by killing Mo Yushan, I could pin the blame on Chu Ning, but now that he has saved Mo Yingying, no one will believe that he killed Mo Yushan's family!"
He became more and more angry as he spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the man in black hard.
The man in black didn't dare to say anything and could only endure it.
Until the man was tired of beating him, he said fiercely: "Don't show up these days. Someone else will find out the news in the city for you."
"Yes!" The man in black felt relieved and quickly bowed and retreated.
The secret room fell into silence.
After a moment, the angry voice sounded again: "Humph, even if Chu Ning rescued Mo Yingying, what does it matter? Mo Yingying has not seen their true faces. Even if this group of people stood in front of Mo Yingying, she would not be able to recognize them!
Chu Ning escaped again. Humph, he was lucky. But next time, you won’t be so lucky! "
Then, the secret room fell silent again.
At the same time, news has spread in the city that the orphan of the Mo family has been taken in by Chu Ning in the Prince Chu's Mansion.
The rumor that Chu Ning was the one who did it, which was originally widely circulated, suddenly disappeared.
No one would take in someone's orphans after killing their entire family!
Therefore, it was obviously not Chu Ning who did this.
For a moment, all the doubts disappeared!
But because of this incident, Chu Ning strengthened the control over the city, and anyone entering or leaving the city gate would be questioned and inspected.
This made many nobles and ministers dissatisfied, but they did not dare to turn against Chu Ning at this time, so they could only turn a blind eye!
In this way, the city of Kyoto became stable.
A storm was quietly resolved under Chu Ning's clever arrangement.
However, Chu Ning did not give up on the murderer and asked Yun Jianye to lead the criminal department officials to investigate secretly.
As for the affairs of the court, of course Chu Ning would handle them alone.
The princes and ministers were helpless about this. After all, Chu Ning controlled the troops. If they opposed, they would definitely be suppressed by Chu Ning.
So for the next period of time, Chu Ning will have the final say on all matters in the court!
Two days later, the emperor who was far away in the imperial mausoleum finally received the news.
The weather in June was very hot, which slowed down the construction work of the migrant workers.
The emperor stood on a high mountain, looking at the workers working hard below, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
After entering the summer, Deng Hongwen kept using the weather as an excuse to prevent him from urging the workers to speed up the construction of the imperial mausoleum, which resulted in the progress being slower than expected.
If it weren't for the reputation issue, the emperor would have ordered severe punishment for the migrant workers long ago.
While he was deep in thought, Zhao Ming's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened in Kyoto!"
The emperor, who was already in a bad mood, narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed across his face, and turned around and asked:
"What happened to make you so panicked? You have been following me for decades, how come you don't even have the skills to cultivate your energy?"
Zhao Ming didn't even bother to catch his breath, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a lost voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince he...he..."
The emperor was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What happened to the prince?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed by Liu Yunqing!"
"Ah... this... how is this possible? How dare Liu Yunqing kill the prince? Is he really that brave?"
The emperor didn't believe it. How could a mere lowly official dare to commit treason and kill the prince?
"Your Majesty, it's true. Even the Fourth Prince is dead. He was killed by He Peng!"
Zhao Ming quickly handed over the joint memorial signed by the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, and the old King of Qin: "Your Majesty, please read this, this is what happened!"
The emperor snatched the memorial from Zhao Ming's hand, took a close look at it, and was forced to believe that what Zhao Ming said was true.
Thinking that his two sons were killed at the same time, the emperor felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he fell backwards.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ming was shocked and rushed forward to support the emperor, shouting, "Come here, help His Majesty to the bedroom and ask the imperial physician to treat him immediately!"
The imperial guards rushed up and took the emperor to his bedroom at the foot of the mountain.
Half an hour later, the emperor finally woke up, and what came into his sight was Zhao Ming's nervous face.
"Your Majesty, you finally woke up. I was scared to death!" Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped the emperor up.
The emperor had a gloomy face and said nothing.
At this time, Deng Hongwen, who received the news, rushed over.
Seeing the emperor wake up, Deng Hongwen was stunned at first, then he saluted quickly: "Your Majesty!"
The emperor slowly raised his head and looked at Deng Hongwen, and asked coldly, "Do you know everything?"
Deng Hongwen nodded: "General Manager Zhao has just sent someone to tell me the matter. I never thought the situation in Kyoto City would develop to this point!
Your Majesty, you must go back and take charge of the situation, otherwise it will be difficult for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to shock the crowd alone!"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across them: "Lord Deng said this, could it be that he already knew that Jingdu City has now fallen into Chu Ning's hands?"
Deng Hongwen nodded: "From the memorials submitted by the three old Qin princes, the only one who can control the situation in Kyoto City is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu!
But this is not a long-term solution after all. Only when you return can people’s hearts be completely stabilized.”
The death of two princes at once, one of whom was the crown prince, was such a major event that would surely have made the people of Kyoto panic if the emperor was not in Kyoto.
The emperor did not get what he wanted from Deng Hongwen's words, but was instead moved by Deng Hongwen.
Yes, if he doesn’t go back now, once Chu Ning takes control of Kyoto City, will he still be able to go back?
Thinking of this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Order, leave 300 imperial guards with Deng Hongwen to guard the imperial mausoleum, and the others will follow me back to the capital!
In addition, send someone to deliver a letter to Chu Ning as quickly as possible, telling him my whereabouts and asking him to prepare to welcome me back.
Also, have those with great power keep a close eye on the Queen and make sure she is well looked after!"
The prince was the queen's only son. The queen had always been proud of him. But now that the prince was dead, it was unknown whether the queen could accept it.
For both moral and legal reasons, and for both public and private reasons, he rushed back as quickly as possible!
As for asking Chu Ning to come and pick him up, he certainly has his own plans!
Now that Kyoto City is under the control of Chu Ning, no one knows whether Chu Ning will have any ulterior motives. Sending Chu Ning out of the city to welcome the emperor can be a way to test Chu Ning!
