He asked, "Where have you been these past few days, and how did you know that Wang Sheng would do this?"
...
Rong Zhen felt even colder inside.
It was extremely difficult to escape death.
Now that we've saved the old emperor, he shows absolutely no gratitude.
I was also worried about what he might do.
Rong Zhen immediately pulled out the statement that he had rehearsed in his mind several times before.
The emperor temporarily believed him.
Of course, Rong Zhen only wanted a temporary solution.
The emperor is safe and sound.
Everything was quiet.
However, beneath the calm surface of the lake, things are not entirely peaceful.
When Jun Chaoyang heard that Wang Sheng was dead and that Rong Zhen was alive again, his eyes showed doubt and surprise.
I have a feeling that something is wrong with how this is going.
Order your men to cease all action.
He won't rush into things that are clearly not right.
If you just confront them directly.
That means there's something wrong with his brain.
This period of relative calm lasted for a few days.
The old general finally chose to listen to the Buddha.
rebel.
He devoted his life to loyalty to the emperor and love for his country, but he has suffered too many losses. The Huo family cannot continue to make such sacrifices.
but……
He has been a patriot for so long!
I feel a bit uncomfortable overall!
When Lu Wujiu came this time, he gave the old general some of the pills made by Futu.
The medicine made from the Buddha statue is very effective.
It's guaranteed.
You need to eat this to get better.
The general couldn't die even if he wanted to.
Now someone cares so much.
It's still a good thing.
He stared at Lu Wujiu: 'This empire belongs to the Buddha, not to you…'
"Don't worry, I just want to retire and go back to my old age!"
He followed his wife and farmed diligently.
How blissful it is to have three meals a day for two!
Who wants to get involved in these court affairs?
We're all so busy that we can't go see the scenery of the four seasons together.
The old general agreed!
He was secretly plotting how the Buddha would rebel.
How can I help?
However……
That night!
In the middle of the night, a sound that shook heaven and earth, like a mountain collapsing, rang out.
Around the capital city.
Inside the palace.
In the cold palace.
Rong Zhen set off the so-called fireworks at the locations specified by Su Jiaoniang.
It ensures that anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night can see vibrant colors.
Outside the palace.
The Black-Clad Guards split into four groups and set off fireworks.
The earth-shattering sound woke people up.
Early summer is quite hot.
Hearing noises at night, more people choose to leave their rooms rather than stay in bed.
I saw the dazzling fireworks outside, and then I saw several large characters!
Those who could read turned pale instantly.
This is going to be bad!
Something terrible has happened!
However, these fireworks burned for three days straight.
For three whole days, every night around midnight, there was this kind of noise.
The emperor was frightened and sought out the Imperial Observatory!
The Directorate of Astronomy and Censorship has gone into seclusion and will no longer leave the premises.
Rong Zhen of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs also received orders to go to the capital and search for people named Futu from house to house, killing them without exception, regardless of age or gender.
...
What a fine example of "better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go free."
Rong Zhen agreed and ordered his men to search for the missing person, and if anyone called Futu, they should be imprisoned in the Directorate of Ceremonial.
We'll release them once this is all over.
Since Futu wants to be a benevolent ruler.
He certainly couldn't indiscriminately kill innocent people here.
otherwise……
If they settle scores later, we're finished.
People in high positions tend to have a more comprehensive view of things.
Jun Chaoyang's eyes flickered when he saw the fireworks.
He naturally didn't believe in fate.
He only felt that some villains wanted to seize the throne.
These days, anything can happen.
Just as he was thinking about these things, an imperial edict suddenly arrived from the palace, requesting an audience with the emperor.
Jun Chaoyang did not refuse this time.
When such a thing happens, the emperor will inevitably worry, and it is during this time of worry that his ministers can share his burden.
...
Upon reaching the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing the eunuchs guarding it, one can only sense that Rong Zhen's power has returned.
I want to get rid of that person, but I don't know when I'll have the chance.
Wang Sheng is really useless!
Upon entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, one sees Rong Zhen standing beside Long Yi, as well as the old general before his desk, but also an unexpected person.
Gu Xizhou?
Why is the Regent, a prince from an enemy kingdom, here?
For a moment I felt something was off. Just as I was about to speak, I noticed that although the emperor was sitting upright with his head down, his eyes were closed.
It seems like it's not breathing!
This is?
A sense of crisis suddenly rose in Jun Chaoyang's heart!
He immediately retreated.
I want to leave the palace!
However, the door suddenly closed from the outside.
Everyone in the Great Zhou thought Jun Chaoyang was a civil official, but he wasn't; he was skilled in both literature and military affairs!
Whether it was the Great Zhou or the Great Qi, both were places of outstanding people and abundant resources.
In a place like this, how can you rise to a high position without some real skills?
He drew his weapon, intending to fight his way out.
However, whether it was the vigorous old general, Rong Zhen, or Lu Wujiu, none of them were ordinary people.
With the three of them working together, he had no chance of escape.
So he was immediately pinned down.
"I never imagined that Lord Jun was actually a spy from Ruijin."
General Huo stared at Jun Chaoyang, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
This person was once a promising junior of his.
If there were such a person in the imperial court, the Great Zhou Dynasty should have no problem lasting another hundred years.
but……
Those poppies!
A secret letter from someone in the army informed him that some soldiers had also become addicted to opium poppies.
