Chapter 370 They Are All Bastards!
Gu Guifei was stunned by the blow. She picked up the list thrown in front of her in a panic, opened it with trembling hands and looked at it one by one, and the blood on her face faded.
"No, this is not true... This is not true..." Gu Guifei crawled to the feet of Emperor Zhaocheng, "Your Majesty! Please forgive my father's death for the many years I have served you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Zhaocheng looked at her tiredly and annoyedly: "Gu Guifei, I have tolerated the Gu family again and again, but Prime Minister Gu has repeatedly violated my bottom line. This time I will not forgive him!"
After that, he waved his hand coldly: "Take Guifei away!"
Two eunuchs stepped forward, grabbed Gui Guifei's arms and dragged her out.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Gu Guifei screamed, "King Yu is your biological son, Your Majesty, please look at King Yu's... Your Majesty!"
King Yu?
Emperor Zhaocheng looked stern and picked up an account book on the table. In it, the silver money used by Prime Minister Gu to forge weapons and train private soldiers amounted to 500,000 taels.
Why did he forge weapons? Why did he raise private soldiers? Who were these private soldiers and weapons prepared for?
Do they want to rebel?
Emperor Zhaocheng slammed the account book hard, they are all bastards!
"Xiao Changhai."
"The servant is here."
"Immediately issue an order to add 100 imperial guards outside the Prince Yu's Mansion. Officials in the court are not allowed to go to the Prince Yu's Mansion. Anyone who dares to violate it will be tantamount to disobeying the order. I will kill him without mercy!"
"Yes." Xiao Changhai accepted the order, "The servant will give the order now."
After Xiao Changhai left, Emperor Zhaocheng raised his hand to support his forehead: "Come here."
A man in black appeared and knelt on one knee.
"Kill the man in the Prince Yu's Mansion who likes to play with poisonous snakes. Kill all the harmful things. Don't leave any!"
"Yes." The man in black accepted the order and left the hall quickly.
Emperor Zhaocheng closed his eyes and thought, and the atmosphere in the palace was oppressive.
Not long after, Xiao Changhai came back: "Your Majesty, all the orders have been given, and Deputy Commander Wang immediately sent people to Prince Yu's Mansion."
"Has Ye Qi come back?"
"Commander Ye is watching the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xiao Changhai asked carefully, "Is there anything your Majesty needs Commander Ye to do?"
"Let Tang Lin come."
"Yes."
Tang Lin is the deputy commander of the Royal Guards Cavalry Battalion. He has a very similar temperament and style to Ye Qi, cold and upright. He and his Cavalry Battalion are extremely powerful and have always been the main elite of the Royal Guards.
After receiving the message, Tang Lin quickly arrived at the palace and knelt on one knee: "Your humble servant pays respect to the emperor."
"Tang Lin, take someone to the Xianwang Mansion." Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was cold and calm, like a sign of impending storm, "There is a pair of brothers and sisters from outside the imperial city in the Xianwang Mansion. They are sneaky and have ill intentions. You go and arrest them and put them in the prison."
Tang Lin bowed his head: "I obey your orders."
"If the Xianwang can't hand over these two people, you arrest the Xianwang and bring him to me. I will interrogate him personally." Emperor Zhaocheng was ruthless, "I want to see if he is afraid of death."
"Yes." Tang Lin responded respectfully, "I obey your orders!"
April is a time of trouble, and May is a time of panic.
All civil and military officials are in danger.
Prince Yu was originally ordered to reflect on himself, but before the day of reflection was over, he suddenly received an order from the emperor to increase troops to guard Prince Yu's Mansion - is this guarding or confinement?
Prince Yu, who noticed the reinforcement of troops outside the palace, walked out of the study anxiously and asked the housekeeper: "What's going on? Why are there suddenly more imperial guards?"
What is the emperor going to do? Imprison him in Prince Yu's palace and never let him go out again?
The housekeeper replied cautiously: "I just asked, Your Majesty, something happened outside...!"
Prince Yu shuddered: "Something happened? What happened? Is it related to me?"
"The Gu family was raided."ŴŴŴ.
Prince Yu's face was pale, and he felt his legs weak, staggering unconsciously: "How could it be? How could it be?"
"Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty." The housekeeper bowed his head, "The emperor is furious, and the whole imperial city will be in a state of panic tonight-"
"Why?" Prince Yu grabbed his shoulders, "Tell me why? Say it! Why ? "
"I don't know exactly what happened." The housekeeper said in panic, "The newly added imperial guards are very tight-lipped. They are only willing to say one or two words, and they keep silent about everything else. I didn't ask them out."
King Yu let him go and turned to the main courtyard in a daze: "Father is so cruel, why did he do this to me? He ordered me to be locked up in the palace to reflect on myself, but he took advantage of my reflection to secretly deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion...Does he dislike me so much?"
He is the son of the imperial concubine, and he should have the best chance to compete for the throne, but why did father deal with them?
What mistakes did the prime minister make, what mistakes did his son make? Why did father kill them all?
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" A maid came hurriedly, her face burning, "Snakes... all the snakes are dead, everywhere, Master Wan is dead too!"
King Yu's eyes went dark, and he hurriedly grabbed the maid's hand, gnashing his teeth and asking, "How could he die? What do you all do for a living? Ah!"
The maid knelt on the ground in fear, "I... I don't know, Your Highness, I don't know anything!"
The ominous atmosphere enveloped the entire palace.
King Yu had a premonition that his luck had run out, and he couldn't stand this sudden blow, and finally fainted completely.
The housekeeper was startled and hurriedly reached out to support him: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"
"Quick, call the doctor in the palace over!"
The ominous atmosphere was not only lingering in Prince Yu's palace, but the entire imperial city was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger.
