Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 30: All the ministers enter the palace, and Su Xin, the commander of the Shenwu Camp
Following Zhang Yuan's order, many forbidden troops soon began to perform their duties and act in accordance with his military orders.

More and more imperial troops were dispatched, and the quiet night of the entire capital was completely broken for a while.

It's already the ugly hour, between two and three in the morning, when many courtiers are sleeping soundly.

But as the heavy news came from the palace, all the ministers were awakened in an instant, and there was no trace of sleepiness in their eyes.

All the important officials who had been informed by the Imperial Army put on their court clothes as quickly as possible at this moment, and rushed to the palace.

The emperor was actually assassinated in the palace.

If this matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, the country will be in turmoil and the people of both the government and the public will be unstable!
This night, the movement on the palace road never stopped at all.

Six ministers, the prime minister, all the princes...

All the important officials of the imperial court with rank three or above gathered in the palace to deal with the affairs behind Emperor Jiang Rui's death.

At the same time, the court urgently discussed how to avoid panic between the government and the opposition and stabilize the stability of the country.

In short, the Da Cang Palace was completely caught off guard that night because of the death of Emperor Jiang Rui.

The court is in chaos...

…………

The next day, the wind was clear and clear.

In Zhenbei Palace, unlike the tense atmosphere in the palace, it seemed peaceful.

Chu Yuan was still sitting quietly in the pavilions in the courtyard as usual, eating breakfast in a leisurely manner.

The maids on the side were serving respectfully. Mo Beiheng was standing at the side and whispered to Chu Yuan at this moment: "My lord, in the palace, many forbidden troops were sent out overnight to bring in the third-rank and above ministers into the palace. Didn’t come back all night.”

"According to the old slave's inquiry, the palace is now under martial law. I heard that an assassin sneaked into the palace last night."

"Ah."

Chu Yuan took a sip of the soup and nodded.

The assassination of Emperor Jiang Rui was known to only a few people, including Chu Yuan and the evil guard who assassinated that night. He knew this matter much better than Mo Beiheng.

"Get ready, I will enter the palace with the king later."

Chu Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Mo Beiheng and said.

"Yes, my lord."

Mo Beiheng immediately responded to the order and left.

Although he didn't know what the prince was doing when he entered the palace at this time, he knew that he could be promoted to the position of housekeeper by the prince.

It is because of my long-standing principles of doing things, saying less and doing more practical things.

Therefore, no matter how puzzled he was, Mo Beiheng was able to suppress his curiosity.

"Tat-tat--"

Just when Chu Yuan was about to get up and walk around the courtyard, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Then he saw a Sunflower secret guard coming directly to the courtyard and walking quickly in the direction of Chu Yuan.

"My lord, there are city guards coming from outside the mansion. I want to see my lord. The subordinate wanted to expel him, but the other party said that as long as I hand this note to my lord, my lord will meet him."

"Ok?"

Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to take the note handed over by the Sunflower secret guard.

After opening it, I saw that there was only one word written on it with a brush, which was the word "Su".

If others saw this note, they would definitely not understand it.

But now that Chu Yuan saw him, he couldn't help but think of Su Zhidao.

What's going on here?
Could it be that the city guards have changed...

Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something, and directly ordered: "Take him to the front hall, I will be there soon."

"Yes!"

Sunflower secret guard took the order and quickly went down to make arrangements.

After Emperor Jiang Rui was assassinated, the City Guards and the Forbidden Army sealed off the capital and searched for the assassin all over the city.

The city guards gathered in front of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and there must be a lot of people and confusion.

For such external reasons, it was naturally appropriate to meet in the front hall.

After half a stick of incense, Chu Yuan and Shi Shiran came to the front hall.

In the front hall at this moment, a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a broad nose wearing armor was sitting on a chair.

Someone has already served tea on the table nearby.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man was not interested in drinking tea. Instead, he seemed a little reserved and looked away.

The first time he saw this middle-aged man, Chu Yuan already knew his identity.

Su Zhidao's son is also the commander-in-chief of one of the eight battalions of the City Guards, Su Xin!

"You all go down."

Chu Yuan waved his sleeves, and the next moment all the servants in the front hall retreated.

At this moment, only Su Xin and Chu Yuan were left in the huge front hall.

"My subordinate, Su Xin, pays homage to the prince."

When he saw Chu Yuan stepping into the front hall, Su Xin, who was still sitting on the chair, immediately stood up, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.

It wasn't until Chu Yuan waved his hands to repel the servants.

Su Xin immediately walked a few steps, came to Chu Yuan, and bowed in salute.

If other people saw this scene, their jaws would definitely drop.

Because Su Xin's identity is the commander of the Shenwu Battalion, the third battalion of the Beijing City Guards, and is in charge of the security inspection in the southern district of the capital.

Coupled with Su Xin's father Su Zhidao, it can be said that the 80 city guards are in Chu Yuan's hands!

And this is still the capital city. In this place, the power of 80 city guards is more real to Chu Yuan than those civil officials in the court.

After all, only with the power of military power in your hands can you have an absolute right to speak.

Why didn't Emperor Jiang Rui dare to attack him in the court?

It's not because of his tyrannical strength, Jiang Rui is not sure at all, and he dare not gamble with his life!

If Jiang Rui's strength or someone loyal to him could easily subdue Chu Yuan, it would have been another outcome.

"Exemption."

Chu Yuan raised his palms, spoke, and then sat directly on the main seat.

Chu Yuan also explored Su Xin's cultivation level.

Although he is not as good as Zhang Yuan, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, he has reached the ninth level of Xiantian, which is considered a good combat power.

After the two chatted casually for a few words, Chu Yuan pondered slightly, and then said:
"You came just in time. I have something to do here. I wanted to send someone else to handle it, but after much thought, it would be more appropriate for the city guards to handle it."

"My lord please show me."

Su Xin's expression suddenly became serious.

"There was an assassination attempt in the palace last night, and Emperor Jiang Rui was assassinated. You must have learned about this news from the Forbidden Army."

Su Xin nodded. The reason why he came here was precisely because of this matter.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan continued: "But this matter seems to have been deliberately suppressed. Now few people in the capital know about it."

"This king wants the city guards to secretly reveal the news of Emperor Jiang Rui's death when they are hunting for assassins in the capital."

A strange light flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes.

Judging from the news from the capital that Mo Beiheng got today.

It was obvious that some capable officials were secretly covering up the news of Emperor Jiang Rui's death and blocking the news.

The purpose may be to prevent panic among the government and the public and ensure the stability of the Da Cang Dynasty.

But this is not what Chu Yuan wants to see.

If what he has to do next has the background of panic and fishing boats in the government and the public, he will be able to do it more smoothly and occupy more time.

"Yes. This subordinate will do it!"

Su Xin immediately stood up and responded to the order.
