Tang Jingyu only felt that his left eyelid was twitching.
"Go to the steward and withdraw the money."
"Yes." The jailer left happily.
As soon as he left, Tang Jingyu immediately called Yan Qing.
"Yan Qing, go check immediately to see if Tang Yu's family is still in the courtyard."
"yes."
Tang Jingyu paced back and forth in the study, and he thought of Gu Fanzhi.
"Prepare your horse."
A horse was galloping on the deserted street. The patrolman did not stop it after seeing that it was the King of Jin.
Imperial Palace
Zhou Gongjin and the General of Chariots and Cavalry stood in front of the palace gate and asked for an audience. The guards asked the three of them to wait at the door. The guards passed the information up layer by layer, and it finally fell into the hands of the chief eunuch.
The chief eunuch received the news and walked to the side of Emperor Wenxuan, saying quietly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhou and the General of Chariots and Cavalry have important matters to discuss with you."
Emperor Wenxuan paused slightly. He knew Prime Minister Zhou's temperament. He would never come here at this time unless there was something important, let alone come with the General of Chariots and Cavalry.
"Xuan."
"yes."
The chief steward ran to the door and spoke to the guard, who hurriedly passed the message on.
Then the guards at the door let them in, and the three of them went straight to the imperial study.
It was Tang Yu's first time in the palace, and he was so nervous that his body felt stiff.
It was raining and lightning flashed overhead from time to time. The rumbling sound made him even more nervous.
When the three of them walked outside the imperial study, the eunuch went in to report.
After obtaining permission, the three of them entered the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"I greet your Majesty."
The three of them knelt down and kowtowed.
"Everyone, stand up." Emperor Wenxuan put down the pen in his hand.
"My dear ministers, what brings you here so late at night?"
Prime Minister Zhou said, "I just received a piece of news from the steward of the Prince of Jin's Palace. The content of the news is extremely serious. Therefore, I disturbed Your Majesty's rest so late at night. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
"Since it is an important matter, why talk about punishment? Tell me, what is it?" asked Emperor Wenxuan.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin and the Fourth Prince are plotting a rebellion."
After Prime Minister Zhou finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study suddenly changed and the air pressure dropped.
The chief steward broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
This kind of thing is taboo.
This is going to break the sky.
Emperor Wenxuan looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Tang Yu stood behind them, head bowed, not daring to look at Emperor Wenxuan. Naturally, he didn't know what Emperor Wenxuan was saying to him.
The General of Chariots and Cavalry beside him kicked him and reminded him, "The Emperor is asking you a question."
Tang Yu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed in fear, "I overheard what the Fourth Prince and my Lord said, and only then did I know what they were planning."
"What are their plans?" Emperor Wenxuan spoke with dignity without getting angry.
"They plan to wait until the elite troops at Qianling Mountain are successfully trained, and then make their move during this year's autumn hunting. They intend to cause the accidental death of His Majesty and then control all members of the royal family."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Yes. There are troops and assassins secretly trained by my prince on Qianling Mountain. As long as Your Majesty sends someone to investigate, you will know that I am not lying." Tang Yu said in fear and trepidation.
He spoke with such confidence that people were almost certain to believe him. After all, such a lie could be exposed with a little investigation, so there was no need to risk the consequences of implicating the entire clan by telling a lie.
"Is there any other evidence?"
