Chapter 183 Assassination

The memorial was sent by the Control Bureau, saying that someone was spreading rumors in Shangjing City and inciting people who did not know the truth to cause trouble. Hundreds of people had already gathered in the streets to cause trouble, and they wanted to gather the people to petition at the gate of the palace.

It was the first time for Gu Zhao to see such an operation. He didn't quite understand. He turned to the prince and asked, "What do these people want to do?"

There was a cold look on the prince's eyebrows, and his eyes were as dark as night, "Speaking of which, it has something to do with Mr. Gu."

"Is it related to me?" Gu Zhao was a little surprised. He continued to read and realized that the prince was right. She had really had a hand in this matter. The origin of this turmoil turned out to be Dong Hao's previous envoy.

The group came to discuss matters.

I don’t know who spread the news, saying that Donghao’s delegation came to Beijing to negotiate peace with the Bei’an court. The conditions were that the court would cede Douchuan Pass and its surrounding three hundred miles of territory, and compensate Donghao five million taels of silver.

With the increase of military expenditure, Donghao's army will no longer continue to move north.

The imperial court was prepared to compromise and agree to such excessive demands, but the news reached the ears of Prince Li. The violent and bloodthirsty prince became furious and tried to stop the emperor from ceding territory and paying compensation for peace, but failed.

So King Li was furious and led his men to the headquarters of the Donghao Mission and beheaded more than a dozen members of the Donghao Mission, making the Donghao people frightened and kneeling down to beg for mercy.

Who would have known that instead of praising this act of bringing glory to the court, the emperor scolded King Li for his boldness.

"You want to be a hero? Then who is the bear? Me or the civil and military officials?"

It is said that the emperor first left King Li hanging outside the door for several hours, and then scolded him like crazy.

In the end, Emperor Shouzheng had no choice but to beat Prince Li to death, then threw him back to the palace and never allowed him to go out again.

Konghesi's memorial was written in a very detailed and straightforward manner, with no euphemisms at all.

Gu Zhao could imagine how angry Emperor Shouzheng would be when he saw this memorial. No wonder the prince's face looked so ugly just now - Emperor Shouzheng was scolded as a coward, but it was King Li who came out to fight for the people and the country.

So what kind of role is the prince?

"Well, the official is indeed responsible." Gu Zhao looked guilty and leaned over to plead guilty. "That day, several informants under the official were inquiring about information on the street and had a conflict with the Donghao envoys. As a result, they were arrested by their superiors.

They will be beaten to death. I will take people to reason with them. Who knows those Donghao people..."

"Oh, it's all my fault that the official was so young and energetic that he couldn't bear the injustice. He didn't take the overall situation into consideration, killed a Donghao man, and set a wrong example to King Li."

She couldn't help complaining in her heart, although it was a relief for King Li to kill the Donghao people, in the end it wasn't her who took the blame.

The prince was a little dumbfounded. He sighed helplessly and waved his hands, "Forget it, what kind of person is Uncle Nineteen? How could he be influenced by you? I'm afraid I can't even count the number of Donghao people who died in his hands."

, Wang Tiexin again... no one else could bear this tone."

The prince himself hated the people of Donghao deeply. He was tortured by Ye Hehuan to the point of death, which he will never forget in his life.

He also wanted to settle his grudge and lead his men to hack to death all the members of Donghao's mission. But he couldn't do this because he was the prince.

Sometimes I think about it, this prince is really restrained, and he is really not as happy as Qin Xinglie's wanton and carefree temperament.

The prince sighed in his heart, put away the loneliness in his eyes, and asked the young eunuch, "Has your father returned to the city?"

"Before you set off, your Majesty has ordered you to prepare your chariots, summon the Royal Guards, and return to the capital as quickly as possible." The young eunuch answered clearly, "Your Majesty has ordered that he will leave a thousand Royal Guards for you, which will be temporarily led by Prince Consort Shu.

If you meet Prince Consort Shu with this letter, you will be given the command of this imperial army."

The prince nodded. If there was a disturbance in the capital, the emperor and the prince would not be in the city, so it would be easy for someone to take advantage of the situation.

Since Emperor Shouzheng has rushed back, he should sit down in Bieyuan to stabilize the younger generation and win their hearts.

The prince stood up, his brows became more solemn, and the aura around him burst out, "Master Gu, you must immediately summon the men of the He Control Division to ensure that no problems arise in the garden and the hunting grounds."

"I will go to Bieyuan now to meet Prince Consort Shu."

Gu Zhaoqing's eyes moved slightly. After thinking for a while, he followed his footsteps. "Your Highness, I'd better send you to the other side of the garden. At this time, no one is as important as you."

Prince Consort Shu is the husband-in-law of the prince's compatriot sister. He was once the number one scholar and now serves in the General Affairs Department of the imperial court. He is a natural princeling.

Emperor Shouzheng left the imperial army to Prince Consort Shu just to ensure the safety of the prince.

Before the prince opened his thin lips, Gu Zhao leaned over and reminded him in his ear, "Your Highness, don't forget, Qinglong Guard..."

Thanks to the clues Xu Jinping gave last time, the Crane Control Division had already found Zhong Yuntang's traces, but instead of arresting him, he chose to take a long shot and catch the big fish.

These days, the actions of the Qinglong Guard are in the eyes of Controller. They have recently collected supplies and mobilized manpower, obviously for an important operation.

The prince is most likely their target. Any small oversight at this time may lead to serious consequences.

The group of people had just reached the halfway point when suddenly a shower of arrows struck from the air. The arrow tips were sharp and dazzling, and they rushed straight down unstoppably. The guards who were exploring the path in front were caught off guard and turned into hedgehogs, and they fell down instantly.

There were several bloody holes on his body.

"Protect the prince!" Kang Jian was so frightened that the dust on his hands turned red. He quickly threw it away and screamed. The guards listened to the order and formed a circle around the prince.

Gu Zhao's expression became solemn, and before he could take action, Xiaohe beside him stretched out his hand and blocked her behind him, with the intention of not letting her get in.

Several more black figures rushed out of the woods. The swords in their hands reflected the cold light. They killed people on sight, like killing machines. Everywhere they passed, there were corpses.

The guards of the East Palace and the people from the Control Division were not vegetarians, so they rushed forward without hesitation, and the two sides fought together.
