The people in the warm room dispersed.
Such an unexpected incident disturbed everyone's mind, and Emperor Jing just made some hasty arrangements and let the rest of the people do their respective duties.
A man was sitting in the warm room thinking, Guo Tianyang was still standing beside him as usual.
He thought about this for an hour. Emperor Jing rubbed his brows and ordered someone to deliver the memorial.
It is still early now and the incident with the King of Wu happened suddenly.
But it’s not a big problem, I’m just worried that something might go wrong with Fang Zhengyi.
We have already arranged for people to go to Haiyuan City immediately, there is no time to rush.
Not long after, the memorials from recent days were delivered, and Emperor Jingdi picked up his red pen and began to review the cabinet's draft as if nothing had happened.
The King of Wu did indeed cause rebellion, but there were so many important affairs in the world and he had to make the final decision on every one of them. Now that arrangements had been made, he couldn't let this incident delay other important matters.
Emperor Jing was reviewing the memorials with a frown on his face, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
The warm room was completely silent, with only the sound of Emperor Jing reading memorials.
At this moment, someone outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, the eunuch He Jin from the Yinshou Bureau wants to see Your Majesty for an important matter."
Emperor Jing put down his red brush and looked up in confusion.
What big deal could happen to Yinshoujian? And the name He Jin seems to sound familiar.
"Xuan, come in."
Soon, an eunuch walked slowly into the hall with his head lowered, carrying a tray.
After standing still, she said, "This servant greets your majesty!"
"What big news do you have to report?"
He Jin's voice sounded a little nervous. "I am the director of the Seal and Ribbon Supervisory Office. Today, when I was inspecting the Ancient and Modern Collection Library, I accidentally found a letter. It was left by the King of Wu. It was written on it that Your Majesty wrote it personally. I dare not neglect it, so I rushed here immediately."
How could the letters left by the fourth brother appear in the Tongji Library?
Emperor Jing became alert and said seriously, "Show it up!"
He Jin did not dare to delay and slowly moved in front of Emperor Jing.
Looking at the letter on the tray, Emperor Jing was about to reach out to take it!
He Jin's face looked a little gray, beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
Just as Emperor Jing stretched out his hand, He Jin let go of the tray and reached into his sleeve!
A flash of cold light flashed! He actually pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it straight into Emperor Jing's heart!
Emperor Jing's hair suddenly stood on end!
He instinctively twisted his body sideways to avoid the vital points. The next moment, instead of continuing to dodge, he allowed the dagger to pierce his shoulder and punched forward!
A jab as fast as lightning whizzed into He Jin's Adam's apple!
The fist hit the neck deeply, the sound of Adam's apple breaking was faintly heard, and a lump suddenly bulged out behind He Jin's neck!
Then he fell a dozen feet away, covered his neck, struggled hard for a few times, and died.
In a flash, the fight was over.
Guo Tianyang was like a petrified being, not moving at all.
It was not until he saw the half-broken dagger stuck in Emperor Jing's shoulder that he let out a sharp chicken cry: "There is a thorn..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Jing shouted, then bent down and picked up the letter on the ground.
The dagger stabbed in his shoulder seemed to not exist, and he sat down naturally and began to read the letter.
Guo Tianyang just felt his head buzzing and didn't dare to say a word.
After reading the letter, Emperor Jing raised his head and said coldly: "Haha... It really is the farewell letter left by the fourth brother. It seems that he didn't expect to succeed in the assassination! I remember that He Jin used to serve him. This man must have something on him to dare to assassinate! Today, the Prince of Wu's mansion was raided and he came to assassinate. It must have been arranged in advance... The fourth brother is still scheming. He is not satisfied and is declaring war on me!"
"Run...where can he run to? Dajing can't be left here. Haiyuan City has to continue moving south. Could it be that he is going to a vassal state in Southeast Asia...impossible." Emperor Jing was still muttering to himself when he suddenly realized that he had said a lot of things but no one around him responded. He couldn't help but look at Guo Tianyang.
Guo Tianyang was already swallowing his saliva wildly as he looked at Emperor Jing's shoulder which was gradually soaked with blood. He had something to say but didn't dare to.
It was not until two fierce rays of light shot towards him that he came to his senses.
"Do you want to see me bleed to death? Go find the imperial physician!"
"Yes!" Guo Tianyang was startled and ran out quickly.
Soon the imperial physician was brought back. When he saw a dagger stuck in Emperor Jing's shoulder, he was almost frightened to death.
Emperor Jing personally pulled out the dagger and checked it to find that there was no injury to the bones. The imperial physician quickly applied some herbal medicine, bandaged the wound and left in a hurry.
Guo Tianyang approached Emperor Jing cautiously and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty...are you okay?"
"Do I look okay?"
"......"
Plop!
"Alright, alright! Stop kneeling. You're an eyesore to me. By the time you realize it, I'll have died ten times!" Emperor Jing waved his hand impatiently.
Guo Tianyang immediately stood up and said in a panic: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
"We'll send someone to the palace to check if there are any of the Fourth Master's men."
Guo Tianyang hesitated for a while and said nervously: "Your Majesty, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter."
"Your Majesty asked Lord Fang to investigate the salt merchants, so why did the King of Wu run away after he found out? This reaction is too extreme!"
"There is also the attack on Taoyuan County and the assassination of His Majesty. One thing leads to another. Is there anyone else involved? Do you want me to..."
Emperor Jing couldn't help but lower his eyes to glance at the letter, and said affirmatively: "No, he didn't overreact, he was just being cautious."
"Now it seems that Liu Xun and the salt merchants must have something to do with him. He knows that with such a large business, he will not be able to hide it if he reveals any clues. It is wise to leave Beijing immediately."
