Chapter 927: This game is so complicated!
Zhu Xuan said, "I believe this matter should be recorded in the Emperor's Jade Disc. Moving the capital is an achievement of the Emperor, and it should be passed down through the ages!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone below immediately knelt on the ground.
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, the emperor's achievements should be recorded and passed down for generations to come!"
Nan Yan stood beside the altar, and her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly.
really.
Zhu Xuan’s purpose was indeed here.
Although he did not have the key to open the box, he should have obtained clues about Zhu Feng's life experience from other places, so he deliberately made this matter public on this day when the Great Yan Dynasty moved its capital and when Zhu Feng was offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, a day that attracted everyone's attention!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
This move is really too vicious.
Zhu Feng, standing on the altar, seemed completely unaware of the underlying situation. He maintained a calm expression and said, "Prince Ning is truly a loyal and devoted minister to me. You've even thought of something like this."
Prince Ning knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
The corner of his mouth was curled with a barely perceptible smile: "I eat the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries. I am just a humble official who can help the emperor share his worries and solve his problems."
"Yeah, very good."
As he spoke, the man holding the box had already walked past Nan Yan and slowly walked towards the altar.
Queen Xu Miaoyin, who was standing next to Zhu Feng, had obviously realized at this time that Prince Ning would not give up and that this must be some conspiracy of his.
She looked at Nan Yan anxiously.
Nan Yan stood below and shook her head gently at her.
Signal, don't panic.
At this time, the ceremonial officer had already presented the box to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng glanced down.
Although his face always had a calm expression, Nan Yan didn't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment, she saw a hint of gloom in his eyes.
In an instant, Nan Yan suddenly remembered the past——
At that time, she was still a female official of Shangbao. Once, Zhu Feng asked about her family. At that time, she told him that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Si family and had been bullied by several legitimate brothers and sisters since childhood.
At that time, Zhu Feng inexplicably said, "I am a legitimate child."
At that time, I couldn't help but roll my eyes in my heart.
Because everyone in the world knows that he is the legitimate son of the late Queen Chen. This is not only a royal record, but also a fact known to everyone in the world.
I think he is "showing off".
But now, Nan Yan understood a little.
He was not showing off, but the words "legitimate child" and "illegitimate child" that he said at that time irritated him.
He should have known, or rather, been aware, that he was born out of wedlock.
He is not the legitimate son of the late Queen Chen, and his mother is a woman whose name cannot be recorded on the jade plate!
It is precisely because of this that he has been the one that Emperor Gao has been most wary of since he was a child.
But, he is his biological son after all. Even if he is not born by Empress Chen, he is still his biological son. Why should Emperor Gao be so wary of him?
Seeing the fleeting gloom in Zhu Feng's eyes, Nan Yan's mind suddenly became a little confused.
Obviously, I'm ready.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Zhu Feng looked at the box and was silent for a moment. The haze in his eyes cleared, and then he said, "Seventh Brother, you should be very clear about this matter. The jade discs left by Emperor Gao are all sealed in the box. However, the key that belongs to me was lost many years ago."
Prince Ning smiled and said, "But Your Majesty, didn't a craftsman from the Neng Kingdom open the box left by Emperor Gao in the Golden Tower Villa a while ago?"
“…”
"Both boxes were left by Emperor Gao."
“…”
"I heard that the craftsman is very skilled. Once he learns the technique of picking the lock, it will be easy to open this box."
“…”
"Hasn't the Emperor already brought him here? Since he has, why not open the box and take out the jade disc? It will only take a moment."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
Turns out, it's here.
The craftsman named Awu had already opened the box in the Jinlou Villa. He was the one who had followed King Beili to Hecheng to steal the box from the Jinlou Villa and had also held his own people hostage.
However, during the entire kidnapping process, this person did not seem to play any role. He only had a fight with King Ning's men before he was finally caught by them.
Surrender happened very quickly.
It seems that even his appearance and arrest were part of some people's plan.
Because he has the ability to unlock.
This game is so complicated!
Those who plan it hide deeper!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan clenched his fists in his sleeves, his finger bones crackled, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, said calmly, "It seems that Prince Ning has considered everything about me so thoroughly and meticulously that I am speechless."
“…”
There was something subtle in his words.
Prince Ning looked up at him, but still couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
However, a faint sense of uneasiness was already surging in my heart.
But at this point, no matter how uneasy you are, you can only put it aside. After all, you have come this far, and success is really only a few steps away.
He still lowered his head and said, "I eat the salary of the emperor and I bear the worries of the emperor."
“…”
"If Your Majesty has no objection, I will call that person up."
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
Zhu Xuan had already turned around and said to Jian Ruocheng, "Bring the person up here."
Jian Ruocheng went down immediately.
This time, apart from the high-ranking officials standing around the altar, who of course knew what had happened long ago, and some were even directly involved in it; even the lower-ranking officials on the periphery and the common people watching the excitement outside Danbi Avenue had quieted down.
Everyone had long noticed that the atmosphere on the altar was not right.
It is obvious that someone is challenging the emperor today.
From the initial "Second Offering" to the current "Jade Disc", King Ning has been taking every step carefully and pressing forward.
But the emperor——
What he was thinking and what countermeasures he had, no one could figure out until now.
Many people are already panicking.
At this moment, Jian Ruocheng came back from behind. His steps were hurried, his face looked solemn, and his brows were furrowed.
"Your Highness... Your Majesty..."
Zhu Xuan turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Jian Ruocheng said: "That person is gone."
