In the next few days, Yun Zheng still didn't even leave the door.
Only people saw that people from the palace were coming to the palace to get medicine in large quantities.
No one knows whether Prince Yun Zheng is dead or alive, and no one can get close to the palace.
The entire palace was heavily guarded by Yun Zheng's personal guards. Some people wanted to visit the palace but were almost beaten up.
The people in the palace announced to the public that Yun Zheng was fine at all, he was just making plans for the people's livelihood in Shuobei, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
The reactions of the guards of the palace seemed to suggest that they were trying to cover up their crime.
As a result, the news of Yun Zheng's assassination spread like wildfire.
Even Dugu Ce, who was far away in Weibian, had heard some news.
Dugu Ce didn’t know whether Yun Zheng was really assassinated.
But where there is wind there is no wave.
...
...
Since there are such rumors, I'm afraid there is some truth to them!
Moreover, he also heard that the Eighteen Ghost Riders who were resting on the hill had already rushed to Dingbei.
Dugu Ce naturally knew about Yun Zheng's Eighteen Ghost Riders.
As long as the Eighteen Ghost Riders are dispatched, it is definitely not a good thing!
The more Dugu Ce thought about it, the more restless he became. He wished he could rush to Dingbei to find out what was going on.
However, Dugu Ce did not dare to move now.
The news of Yun Zheng's assassination may have spread in the army.
If he ran to Dingbei again, the army would probably be in even greater panic.
By then, who knows what kind of trouble might happen.
Just as Dugu Ce was pacing back and forth, the commander of the personal guards suddenly walked in quickly, "Deputy commander, Zhou Mi led his men here and said that there is a secret order from His Highness!"
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Dugu Ce glared at the leader of his personal guards and said, "Hurry and bring the person in!"
"yes!"
The commander of the personal guards retreated quickly and brought Zhou Mi in soon.
"Meet the deputy commander!"
Zhou Mi bowed to Dugu Ce as soon as he came in.
"It's already this late, so stop being so polite!"
Dugu Ce waved his hand to signal the commander of the personal guards to retreat, and hurriedly asked Zhou Mi: "Tell me quickly, what secret order does His Highness have?"
Zhou Mi didn't say much, and immediately took out a letter and handed it to Dugu Ce.
Dugu Ce grabbed the letter, but as soon as he opened it, his expression suddenly changed.
Yun Zheng's handwriting is very easy to recognize!
Among the entire Northern Army, Yun Zheng’s handwriting is probably the easiest to recognize.
There is no other reason, it’s just because Yun Zheng was writing with a feather pen.
Yun Zheng's handwriting can be recognized at a glance.
Although the secret order in front of him was also written with a feather pen, it was obvious at a glance that it was not written by Yun Zheng himself.
This obviously has some traces of imitation.
For someone who is used to using a brush, writing with a feather pen will definitely be different.
The first person Dugu Ce thought of was Miaoyin.
He remembered that Miaoyin had imitated Jiayao's handwriting and wrote a letter from Jiayao to Yunzheng.
"Isn't this a handwritten letter from His Highness?"
Dugu Ce raised his head and looked at Zhou Mi with cold eyes.
"It's a letter from His Highness himself."
Zhou Mi's face was calm and he spoke confidently.
"fart!"
Dugu Ce shouted angrily: "Do you think I can't recognize your highness's handwriting?"
Zhou Mi was not afraid of Dugu Ce's gaze at all, and smiled and said: "Your Highness was assassinated and injured in the shoulder, so the words he wrote are naturally a little different from before."
"Did His Highness really get assassinated?" Dugu Ce's eyelids twitched, and he stared at Zhou Mi with sharp eyes.
"Yes."
Zhou Mi nodded, "However, His Highness is fine and should be able to recover in a few days."
"Nothing serious?" Dugu Ce's face suddenly fell, he grabbed Zhou Mi, and growled with a frost on his face: "Do you think I'm stupid? If His Highness is fine, why did you send the secret order now? What were you doing before?"
"Your Highness didn't write it before!" Zhou Mi laughed dryly.
Didn’t you write it?
Dugu Ce’s eyes were cold and stern.
There is nothing wrong with what Zhou Mi said.
However, based on his experience, Zhou Mi was obviously lying.
Dugu Ce let go of Zhou Mi and growled, "What happened to your Highness?"
"Your Highness is really fine." Zhou Mi still laughed dryly.
"It'd be great!"
Dugu Ce looked at Zhou Mi coldly and said, "Then go back and report to His Highness. Tell His Highness that Dugu Ce obeys your orders! After I finish dealing with these matters, I will rush to Dingbei to visit His Highness!"
Zhou Mi and his men came quickly and left quickly.
As soon as Zhou Mi left, Dugu Ce's personal guard commander came in.
"Deputy Commander, is His Highness really in trouble?"
The commander of the personal guards asked hurriedly.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Is this what you should be asking?"
Dugu Ce's face suddenly fell, "Just do your own thing, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"
"Deputy Commander!" The commander of the personal guards stepped forward and whispered, "This is a good opportunity for the deputy commander to take charge of the Northern Army! If the deputy commander takes charge of the Northern Army and then hands over the military power to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely..."
"Shut up!"
Dugu Ce interrupted the leader of the personal soldiers coldly, "Let me tell you, I, Dugu Ce, am the deputy commander of the Northern Army! I was before and I am still now! You have followed me for many years, I don't want to kill you, you'd better behave yourself!"
"Deputy Commander!"
The commander of the personal guards was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade him again: "I know that the Sixth Prince has made great contributions to my cause, but isn't he in trouble now? If the deputy commander does not take charge of the Northern Army, will he just watch others seize power?"
He was the commander of Dugu Ce's personal guards, so he naturally knew that Dugu Ce was the person sent by Emperor Wen to contain and monitor Wei Wenzhong.
Dugu Ce had no choice but to help Yun Zheng seize the military power of the Northern Army.
After all, at that time, with a powerful enemy at the doorstep, only Yun Zheng could stabilize the Northern Palace Army and prevent internal strife in the Northern Palace Army.
But it’s different now!
Yun Zheng is in trouble now.
Beihuan has also been completely pacified.
If Dugu Ce took the opportunity to seize the military power of the Northern Palace Army and then returned it to Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen would definitely not pursue the fact that he had helped Yun Zheng seize power before, and would also reward him lavishly.
In terms of merit, he can definitely be conferred the title of Duke!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The commander of the personal guards was about to persuade him, but Dugu Ce suddenly drew his sword and put it on his neck, "Someone come!"
Following Dugu Ce's loud shout, several personal soldiers outside immediately ran in.
"Tied him up!"
Dugu Ce looked at the commander of his personal guards with a frosty face, "I gave you a chance!"
"Deputy Commander!"
The commander of the personal guards' face changed drastically, but he still insisted unwillingly: "I'm doing this for the deputy commander's own good!"
"Tied him up!"
Dugu Ce shouted angrily again.
Several guards came to their senses and quickly tied up the guard leader with ropes.
"Deputy Commander, I serve you for the sake of you and for the sake of the great cause..."
The commander of the personal guards kept shouting.
"Take him to jail! Await your punishment!"
Dugu Ce remained unmoved and waved angrily at several of his personal soldiers.
"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander..."
The voice of the commander of the personal guards gradually faded away, and Dugu Ce's face turned grim.
He has already betrayed Emperor Wen!
Although it was done out of necessity, it was still a betrayal after all.
How can a betrayer be reused again?
Moreover, if I seize power at this time, the Northern Army will be in chaos!
In the Northern Palace Army, there are more people who are loyal to Yun Zheng than those who are loyal to Emperor Wen.
Right after defeating Beihuan, civil strife broke out. The ones who suffered were the people of Shuobei, and the ones who died were the soldiers of the Beifu Army!
The Northern Army must not engage in internal strife!
Even if something really happened to Yun Zheng, the Northern Army must not cause internal strife!
