Chapter 524: Are you worried about something? !
Inside the Wuyang Palace, Jiang Tinghuai sat on a rosewood imperial chair, frowning as he listened to a group of ministers quarreling for the umpteenth time about the current situation.
"Recently, rumors have been rife that His Majesty has disappeared in Beiming. If we allow this rumor to spread, it may attract the attention of neighboring countries. Your Highness, this matter cannot be delayed any further. We must find the source of this rumor as soon as possible and stop it immediately!"
"Is it hard to find the source?" Someone sneered disdainfully. "As everyone knows, rumors about Prince Xin were rampant some time ago. But a few days later, rumors about His Majesty's disappearance spread, and no one talked about it anymore."
The man did not say his guess about the matter, but his mixed sigh seemed to have said everything.
The only thing missing was to carve the words "Prince Xin did it" on his forehead.
The pupils of several ministers trembled slightly, and they looked at the person who spoke with admiration. The thick filters made them see the desolation and sadness of the person going to the battlefield alone on the other's straight back!
For a moment, there were several sounds of people sucking in gasps of air in the hall.
Several ministers seemed to have drawn tremendous strength from this pioneer, and flames were burning in their eyes!
"What do you mean, Master Tan?!"
Someone loudly retorted: "Prince Xin is also a victim of this rumor. This is obviously a conspiracy against our Da Rui royal family. We should unite to fight against the enemy and catch the mastermind together. However, Lord Tan made a judgment without any basis, saying that it was Prince Xin who manipulated this matter. I can't help but doubt Lord Tan's intention!"
The raging flames immediately dimmed a little.
——There is some truth in this statement.
And... we cannot rule out the possibility that someone wanted to deliberately create such a chaotic situation in an attempt to focus everyone's attention on Prince Xin.
For example, King Jing, and those enemy countries who were eyeing Da Rui covetously.
[Can you still be so cunning? ! ]
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
Tan Wenhan: “…”
Several ministers: "!!!"
The fire in his eyes died down immediately, and turned into surprise.
Several people couldn't even control their subconscious reactions and simply raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound!
Only after the people around him coughed a few times did the situation get under control before it became outrageous.
Back? ! !
In such a panic, the young man hastily grabbed all his belongings - Concubine Wan and Lin Jinshu, and fled the palace in a hurry with the mentality of escaping for his life, all the way to the border of Beiming.
——These were what the stunned secret guards overheard from the young man’s inner thoughts.
They could hardly imagine the hardships and dangers along the way. During that period, in the court, halfway through the daily morning court session, there would always be several ministers who would suddenly sigh heavily. It was obvious that they must have imagined in their minds some scene of a young man suffering.
Fortunately, after such a long time, they finally got to hear such energetic and tender voices again!
Jiao Hongmiao was about to lift up his sleeves and wipe the corners of his eyes when no one around him was paying attention, when he found that several ministers were doing the same thing as him, and long sighs echoed all around.
Jiang Yingcheng was held by her uncle Liaochen, lying on the roof with her ears pressed tightly against the tiles, listening to what was going on in Wuyang Palace while thinking in her heart -
【snort!!】
[This Prince Xin is really quick to react. As soon as Cheng Cheng's beautiful father spread the rumors about Prince Xin, he came up with a countermeasure so quickly, using the news of his father's disappearance in Beiming to suppress his own rumors. How abominable! ! ]
The ministers who had been secretly wiping their tears a few moments ago paused and all leaned their heads towards the roof.
His eyes regained the look he had when he was eating melon at the court meeting.
It turns out that all those big rumors about Prince Xin were spread by His Majesty on his way back to the capital? !
They said that this kind of thing related to "melon" seemed like something that a group of people like them who often eavesdropped on the thoughts of the little guys would do.
Unexpectedly, they suspected everyone around them, but didn't set their eyes on Emperor Mingze, who had the most contact with the young guy!
【However...】
The angry little baby's voice suddenly stopped, and the little guy on the roof didn't know what he was thinking about, and laughed several times in his heart.
[It’s a good thing. Prince Xin’s followers thought they were stable now. Many of them sold off their properties in a hurry, hoping to gain more merits before Prince Xin ascended the throne and use their money to support Prince Xin’s army... Now, the expensive calligraphy and paintings and rare treasures they collected are all sold at sky-high prices! ]
[If you can get a hand at this time, it will be a sure-fire trade that you will make money on!!]
[Anyway, Prince Xin is about to send troops to besiege the imperial palace, and their money will not be used for this uprising. By then, all the assets registered under the names of their distant relatives will be recalled and sold off...]
From above the roof came the sound of someone swallowing saliva. It was so faint that if they hadn't been stealing and listening carefully, they would have hardly noticed the sound.
"hiss!!"
The eyes of several ministers in the crowd lit up!
Emperor Mingze always governs the country with benevolence. This time, Prince Xin is plotting rebellion and has many followers. His Majesty cannot issue a large-scale order to execute all nine clans. Therefore, most of the properties hidden by these court officials will not be returned to the national treasury due to property confiscation. If they really want to sell them at a low price, then it would be a great idea to pretend to be a wealthy businessman and buy them in large quantities at this time! !
His excited eyes scanned the Wuyang Palace.
Who is it?!
Let me see who wants to be a good person and help their colleagues? !
Jiang Yingcheng happened to think of this at this time, and she excitedly looked up the relevant information from 007. She revealed a series of names in her mind.
[Hehehe, when we go back later, Chengcheng will make this list into a small piece of paper and secretly put it into the pocket of the beautiful father. While no one knows this news, the father can also make a fortune! ! ]
Those ministers are not very good people, but they have a good eye for collecting calligraphy and paintings. After buying these things, they can definitely sell them for double the price! !
I'm sorry!
Several people in the hall smiled timidly.
They already know!!
A great opportunity is before them, they can't waste it!!
The atmosphere in Wuyang Palace was strangely harmonious for a moment. The few people who wanted to speak up to defend Prince Xin looked around suspiciously, and their expressions became a little confused: "..."
What happened? Why did the colleague who was just arguing with each other suddenly stop fighting? !
Is there something on your mind?!
