NOVEL NEXT Chapter 493 Ready
"You are all important ministers of the imperial court. Prince Xuan will definitely need you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Shufan looked at Lu Xun and smiled and said, "Master Lu, do you think this is true?"
Lu Xun raised his eyelids and immediately showed a look of shame.
"Xiang Lin is right. We are really impulsive. We have waited until Prince Xuan returned to Kyoto. Why should we still care about these few days? We should stand still and wait quietly for Prince Xuan's instructions."
"It doesn't matter, we are indeed a little impulsive." Tang Zuxing nodded.
Liang Haidong's frown never relaxed. Why did he feel that something was wrong more and more? He always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"Since Prince Xuan doesn't see us, he should at least contact us and give us reassurance."
Lu Xun saw Liang Haidong's frown and persuaded him with a smile:
"Master Liang, the four of us are now one, occupying most of the power of the imperial court. Prince Xuan cannot give up on us. Prince Xuan has entered Kyoto and has Prime Minister Lin in charge. What do we need to be afraid of? We should rest assured here."
After hearing Lu Xun's words, Liang Haidong slowly relaxed his brows and was about to continue speaking, but he didn't expect Lu Xun to interrupt him.
"Okay, let's go back first. There are insiders everywhere now. Although we came here secretly, we will be easily discovered by the Emperor of Chu if we stay for a long time. Tomorrow the Japanese officials will go to Xingbu Shangshu Yang Zhao, and now Prince Xuan is in Kyoto. Now, I am more confident about bringing him over."
As soon as Lu Xun finished speaking, before a few people nodded, he had already walked out of the lobby.
When he heard that Lu Xun planned to win over Yang Zhao, Tang Zuxing's eyes lit up and he quickly followed Lu Xun's footsteps.
"Master Lu, I will go with you to persuade Yang Zhao."
"No need, Master Tang. The fewer people doing this, the better. I will definitely go back and bring Yang Zhao over tomorrow."
"Master Lu, I will go with you to have greater confidence."
"Master Tang, are you doubting my ability?"
"Of course not, Mr. Lu, I feel that..."
"Master Tang, there is no need to say more. I will go alone tomorrow. If that doesn't work, how about I go with you?"
"This..., okay, then Master Liang and I will wait for the good news from Master Lu."
"Master Tang, don't worry when I do things!"
"That is, we are facing Mr. Lu..."
Seeing the two of them walking further and further away, Liang Haidong's eyes showed helplessness. He looked at Lin Shufan who was smiling kindly and said goodbye:
"Xiang Lin, I take the liberty of disturbing you at this hour, so let's take our leave first."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, we will definitely win." Lin Shufan said firmly.
"Farewell!" Liang Haidong nodded, with a firm look in his eyes.
Now that things have come to this, do they still have a way out?
"Walk slowly without seeing you off."
Lin Shufan watched Liang Haidong leave with a smile.
……………………
On the second day, when the various forces and families were still shocked by the return of King Xuan, they discovered that King Ming, King Yu, King Heng, the former Emperor Yao, and the eldest princess had also returned.
Many officials and families were instantly confused. What was Emperor Chu doing?
Isn't the Emperor of Chu afraid that these people will disturb Kyoto?
However, Prince Ming and Prince Yu also stayed in the mansion behind closed doors and saw no one.
Just when everyone was anxious and inquiring about the news, a piece of news came from the palace and soon spread throughout Kyoto.
Tomorrow Emperor Chu will enter into a duel with Prince Xuan!
Suddenly, all the officials in Kyoto became even more confused.
"Competition?"
"What competition?"
"What's the competition?"
At this moment, even the dullest person understood the big picture. Emperor Chu and Prince Xuan had already met and even reached some kind of agreement.
For a while, those people who were originally in commotion became quiet.
In Liang Mansion, Liang Haidong stayed up all night, walking back and forth in the courtyard, his face extremely ugly, and looking outside the door from time to time.
Soon, the door of the palace opened, and an official walked in, walking hastily.
Seeing his trusted officials arriving, Liang Haidong quickly stepped forward to greet him:
"How's it going? What's going on in Prince Xuan's Mansion, Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, and Lu Mansion?"
"Sir, the door of Prince Xuan's Mansion is still closed, no visitors are seen, and there is no movement at Prime Minister Lin's Mansion.
However, Mr. Lu, the Minister of Rites, went to Yang Mansion early in the morning to visit Yang Zhao, the Minister of Xingbu, but he has not come back yet. "
"Then Mr. Tang of Tang Mansion, did Mr. Tang get any definite news?"
The trusted official raised his head slightly, glanced at Liang Haidong cautiously, swallowed and said:
"According to reports from servants of the Tang Mansion, Mr. Tang slept deeply this morning and just woke up..."
"Damn it!"
Liang Haidong's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Get your horses ready immediately, I want to leave the house!"
"Sir, are you going to Prime Minister Lin's Mansion?"
"Go to Prime Minister Lin's Mansion? Go to the palace!" Liang Haidong's eyes flashed with determination.
"Uh..." The trusted official immediately opened his eyes wide.
"Father!"
At this time, a young man ran over quickly, looked at Liang Haidong and said hurriedly:
"Father, there is a man outside the house asking to see you. He said he came from the palace."
After hearing this, Liang Haidong grabbed his third son Liang Changrong's shoulders, stared at him and said:
"Here from the palace? Did he say who he was?"
Liang Changrong shuddered. This was the first time he saw his father staring at him with such terrifying eyes!
"Say it quickly!"
Liang Haidong roared angrily when he saw that this good-for-nothing son had not spoken yet.
"He...he...he said his name is Fan Zhongyan!"
"Invite him in quickly! No, I will greet him personally!"
Liang Haidong walked quickly outside the house.
Tang Zuxing, who returned to Tang Mansion to rest at three o'clock in the morning because of last night's running around, had just woken up and was drinking porridge when he suddenly heard the news. His expression was stunned and his chopsticks fell down...
Mrs. Tang on the side saw Tang Zuxing's appearance, quickly picked up the chopsticks, wiped them clean with her sleeves, and said softly:
"Sir, let's drink porridge first. Don't hurt yourself over trivial matters."
Tang Zuxing's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, with his face turning green and white. He thought about the scenes last night and connected them to tomorrow's competition. How could he still not know now?
"Drink, drink your horse's head!"
Tang Zuxing smashed the bowl hard and shook his sleeves, throwing everything on the table clean.
Crackling!
A piece of debris!
Mrs. Tang on the side was immediately frightened by Tang Zuxing's rough actions, her face turned pale and she flinched away.
"Father, father!"
A fifteen or sixteen year old boy rushed over quickly. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Tang Zuxing furious. His anxious shouts stopped and he looked at Tang Zuxing in horror.
Tang Zuxing's chest rose and fell, and he took a few deep breaths. He looked at the mess on the ground and the frightened expressions of his wife and son. The anger on his face slowly disappeared, and he suppressed his anger and said:
"Madam, go ask the servants to clean it up."
"Oh, okay." Mrs. Tang responded quickly.
Tang Zuxing looked at his son standing in front of the door again and said coldly:
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Father...Father, there is a man from the palace outside the house who wants to see father." Mr. Tang stammered.
"People from the palace?"
Tang Zuxing's pupils shrank.
"Yes, he said his name is Wei Zheng." Mr. Tang said honestly.
"Wei Zheng!"
Tang Zuxing closed his eyes heavily. Didn't he know that Wei Zheng was one of the cronies that Emperor Chu brought to Kyoto?
The meaning of him looking for himself at this time is self-evident.
Seeing Tang Zuxing close his eyes and become silent, Mr. Tang tremblingly said:
"Father, have you seen him or not? He is waiting outside the house now?"
"See you, why not see you!"
Tang Zuxing opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Oh, okay."
Mr. Tang didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the moment his father opened his eyes, he seemed to have aged ten years.
…………………………
Originally, Kyoto has become a whirlpool of attention for all the forces in Zhongzhou, and the slightest disturbance can make all the forces in Zhongzhou aware of it.
In less than half an hour, this news spread out of Kyoto at an extremely fast speed and reached the ears of all the major forces in Zhongzhou.
"Let's go to Beijing immediately!"
In a certain mansion in Zhongzhou, after the head of a certain family learned the news, he made a decisive decision and immediately went to Kyoto.
"Let's go to the capital immediately. Let's see how the struggle between Emperor Chu and Prince Xuan is resolved."
The major forces in Zhongzhou were the first to get the news. After they learned the news one by one, their first reaction was to enter Beijing.
"Swish!" "Swish!"
In the sky of each prefecture, figures rose into the sky and rushed towards Kyoto at high speed.
Now, except for a few special people in Kyoto, all the family forces have fallen into an extremely strange and peaceful day.
……………………
The sun rose as usual on the second day, and Kyoto was still very prosperous, but today the streets were crowded with people, especially those forces outside Kyoto who learned the news last night and rushed to Kyoto overnight.
Everyone feels that what happened today will bring about earth-shaking changes in the Dayu Dynasty!
In and around Kyoto, forces kept arriving one after another. The inns and restaurants were already full of people, and almost everyone in the capital looked in the direction of the imperial palace in the distance from time to time.
In the imperial palace, in the Jinluan Hall, Li Yuan sat safely on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly closed, and all the officials bowed their heads in silence. Only the constant beating of the corners of their eyes revealed their absent-minded mood. The whole hall was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Many officials looked at the figures at the front.
At the front, Lin Shufan, Lu Xun, Liang Haidong, Tang Zuxing, Li Zonghai, and Yang Zhao stood upright, without squinting.
Outside the palace, Prince Xuan, Taiwei Qin Yi, Yu Fuluo and others strode away.
Li Yuan, who sensed the arrival of King Xuan in the Jinluan Palace, moved and opened his eyes!
At this moment, everyone in Kyoto suddenly felt a trembling gaze!
It was as if a pair of huge eyes were watching them in the palace!
Above the Jinluan Hall, on the left and right sides of Li Yuan, Ah Qing is slim and graceful. His long hair is draped over his vest, held gently by a green ribbon. He is dressed in green clothes and shines brightly.
Yuwen Chengdu's eyes swelled with golden light, and he was dressed in dazzling golden armor. The civil and military officials below immediately felt a suffocating sense of oppression coming towards their faces! (End of chapter)
