Chapter 4077 Shocking Change (Part 2)
Fang Jun and Li Tai felt shocked in their hearts, and they stood up subconsciously. Li Tai's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked: "What did you say?"
The chamberlain also had a worried look on his face and repeated, and then said: "The chamberlain was sent from the palace to inform me that he has already left. Please come into the palace quickly."
Li Tai's eye circles turned red in an instant. He bit his lip without saying a word, and strode downstairs without even bothering to change his clothes.
Fang Jun followed closely behind and shouted to the guard at the door: "Prepare your horse!"
After a while, two strong horses were brought in by the guards. The two of them grabbed the reins and stirrups and got on the horses. Dozens of guards gathered behind them, and the horses galloped towards the Tai Chi Palace.
Along the way, many officials, ministers and ministers were rushing to Tai Chi Palace on horseback and in cars. When they encountered Li Tai, Fang Jun and his entourage passing by at lightning speed, they all quickly stepped aside to get out of the way.
Furong Garden is located in the south of the city, and is the furthest away from Taiji Palace in the entire Chang'an city. Therefore, when Fang Jun and Li Tai arrived in front of the half-built Chengtian Gate, the place was already brightly lit and full of people. Countless princes, princes, ministers, and court officials gathered here. Although they didn't dare to make loud noises, they communicated and whispered with each other in low voices, making it very noisy.
Some distance away from the crowd, Fang Jun raised his hand to signal to stop. When he reined in his horse and stood still, he rode closer to Li Tai, frowned and whispered in a low voice: "Something is wrong."
After galloping all the way, Li Tai's excitement calmed down slightly. He sat on the horse holding the reins and looked at the figures in front of Chengtian Gate, and nodded slowly.
Regardless of the reason for his father's fainting, this is an earth-shattering event, which will inevitably shake up the government and the public and make people panic. The news must be sealed within a circle, and only close family members, nobles, and powerful court officials can know.
But now there are more than a hundred people in front of Chengtian Gate, and officials are constantly arriving. It is obvious that someone leaked the news in advance...
Unruly.
Li Tai whispered: "Ignore all this for the time being. Let's go to the palace to visit our father first, and then we'll talk about it later."
Fang Jun nodded in agreement.
The two of them, one behind the other, rode to the front of Chengtian Gate. Along the way, officials saw the two men hurriedly retreating to both sides to make way for a road in the middle.
There were imperial guards and chamberlains in front of the palace gate. When they saw Li Tai and Fang Jun arriving hand in hand, they hurriedly came forward to greet them: "I have been ordered to be here. Your Highness and the Duke of Yue will follow you into the palace."< br>
The two people turned back and dismounted and threw the reins to the soldiers. Li Tai quickly walked into the palace gate and asked: "Who is in charge of the palace right now?"
The chamberlain replied respectfully: "The answer to His Highness is His Highness the King of Jin."
Li Tai paused, shocked, and looked at Fang Jun before walking into the palace.
Fang Jun kept walking, but he was suspicious in his heart: When will Li Zhi enter the palace? Was it before His Majesty fainted, or after?
Furthermore, was Li Zhi able to preside over palace affairs at this time? Was he entrusted by His Majesty, or was he doing it independently?
The situation is a bit strange...
……
The two of them walked quickly to Wude Palace with the chamberlain. The lights were bright along the way. Many palace servants and chamberlains were walking in a hurry. The heavily armed imperial guards were standing guard every three steps and one sentry every five steps. There was a murderous atmosphere. Throughout the Tai Chi Palace, people felt nervous.
When they arrived outside Wude Hall, they saw that many clan members had already gathered here. When they saw Li Tai coming, they all saluted and greeted them, but they all had different looks and strange expressions.
Li Tai's face was serious, and he naturally understood that these people knew that Cheng Yaojin led his army to the capital, indicating that his father was very likely to choose Pheasant Nu as his heir, and he had been given up. Moreover, Pheasant Nu was in charge of the palace at this moment, and they all thought that he had already Completely far away from the position of crown prince...
Naturally, he would not argue with these people who follow the trend. His face was as heavy as water and he raised his feet to enter the palace gate, but was stopped by two people in front of the door.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Let us enter and report before we can enter."
The two people stopped at the door and looked at Li Tai respectfully, but had no intention of giving way.
Li Tai stopped and looked attentively. When he saw that they were two members of the clan, he said angrily: "I received a report that my father was ill, so I came to visit you. How dare you stop me?"
< br>
Before the two of them could say anything, they stepped forward and kicked one of them away before stepping inside.
The two clan members had never expected Li Tai to be so violent. They were shocked and wanted to grab the corner of Li Tai's clothes while shouting at the imperial guards on both sides to stop Li Tai. However, they were stopped by Fang Jun who was following behind. An oversight made them stop him. Li Tai has already entered the palace.
Fang Jun first looked at the two clan members, then his eyes passed over the face of the imperial army, and said calmly: "Get out of the way!"
The clan disciples looked anxious and shook their heads and said: "We are here under orders. No one is allowed to enter. Please forgive me, Lord Yue."
Fang Jun snorted and tapped their fingers on their faces: "His Majesty is seriously ill at the moment and is probably unconscious. At this time, you are blocking the prince and ministers from visiting. To put it lightly, you are ignorant of the seriousness and isolating yourself from the outside world. If it's serious, it means harboring evil intentions and evil intentions... Even if you are tired of living, you don't want to think about whether the whole family can survive? "
The two clan disciples were horrified. They had caught the biggest hidden danger in their hearts. They did not dare to stop them. They stepped aside with livid eyes and watched Fang Jun walk away and enter the palace.
In the final analysis, they are just taking sides in advance, but after all, His Majesty's imperial edict has not yet been promulgated, and Prince Jin is not yet the crown prince. If things are done right now, if there is a change, they will be thrown out as scapegoats...
< br>
No matter who the prince is, it will not prevent them from continuing to be rich and glorious. How can they risk their lives to work for the king of Jin?
……
When Fang Jun entered the palace, he saw that Nuo Da's palace was brightly lit. Many ministers and princes had arrived, whispering to each other and talking in low voices.
The atmosphere was solemn.
Li Tai was standing at the door of the side hall talking to Li Daozong. When he saw Fang Jun entering, he waved to Fang Jun.
Fang Jun arrived, nodded to Li Daozong, and followed Li Tai into the side hall...
In the side hall, princes such as King Li Zhi of Jin, King Li Min of Shu, King Jiang Li Yun, and King Li Zhen of Yue are all there, as are princes such as King Xu Li Yuanli, King Li Yuanjia of Han, King Zheng Li Yuanyi, King Huo Li Yuangui, and many others. All the noble princes gathered together.
Important ministers in the court included Li Ji, Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Liu Jie and others.
Seeing Li Tai coming, Li Zhi stepped forward and held his brother's hand. He shed tears without saying a word. He choked and burst into tears several times: "Why did my brother come here? My brother is so panicked that he really doesn't know how to deal with it..."
Li Tai: "..."
He held a breath in his chest, but now looking at Li Zhi who looked sad and crying, he couldn't vent at all.
He could only say in a deep voice: "Pheasant slave, don't panic, you can make the decision for your brother."
Li Zhi burst into tears...
There was an invisible exchange between the brothers, and there was no distinction between them. Li Tai asked: "What happened? How could my father suddenly faint?"
Xiao Yu on the side sighed and recounted the matter.
Your Majesty was doing official business very late today. He was a little hungry around Xu time. He ate some food and sat down for a rest. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to continue reviewing the memorials, he suddenly fainted. He was so frightened that all the servants in the palace flew away. His Majesty settled on the couch where he usually rested, and while urgently recruiting the imperial doctor, he sent the news out...
Li Tai asked anxiously: "How is my father's situation now?"
Li Daozong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The imperial doctor has diagnosed me several times. It is probably a disease caused by overwork and poor blood circulation that caused dizziness. I have not yet woken up at the moment, but there is no serious problem in any part of my body. I will probably wake up after a while. ”
Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Cheng Yaojin has led his army into the city, which means that Zhinu, who is supported by the powerful families in Shandong and Jiangnan, is only one step away from the throne, after all, the emperor's imperial edict has not yet been issued, and the matter has not been finalized.
If something unspeakable happens at this moment, the advantage and initiative are all on the side of Pheasant Nu, and it will be difficult for him, Li Tai, to turn things around...
Fang Jun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Who is responsible for sending people to summon the clan kings and court ministers?"
Everyone was stunned, and many people subconsciously looked at an old chamberlain at the door of the inner hall guarded by "Hundred Qisi"...
Fang Jun followed everyone's gaze and saw that it was His Majesty's trusted chamberlain Wang Shoushi. He sneered and said nothing.
However, in full view of everyone, Wang Shoushi could not say anything, so he left Li Junxian, who was standing halfway at the door, took two steps towards Fang Jun, bowed and said: "It is the old slave who sent someone to inform all of you, Your Highness, Ministers of the DPRK, I wonder if the Duke of Yue can give me advice?”
This is not a place for theories, but since Wang Shoushi stepped forward, Fang Jun said with a cold face: "Your Majesty's dragon body is related to the stability of the country. When the specific situation is unknown, safety must be the top priority. How can we allow the news to leak? The whole city knows it and makes people panic, can you afford it if there are any consequences?”
All the dignitaries in the room looked at Wang Shoushi with very interesting eyes.
The king's dragon is ill. This is a matter for the whole world. It is too late to cover it up with all one's strength, but now it is known to everyone in the government and the public. It really makes people think deeply about the ulterior purpose behind it. It's just that although everyone was aware of this before, they ignored it because they were anxious to check on His Majesty's condition. Now Fang Jun pointed it out in public, and everyone wanted to hear Wang Shoushi's explanation.
Even though Wang Shoushi tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, he still couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. But he also knew that he couldn't conflict with Fang Jun at this moment, so he could only say in a solemn voice: "The old slave is summoning everyone here under the order of His Highness King Jin, maybe halfway. Someone inadvertently leaked the news, and I will take care of it afterwards..."
He shirks the blame completely, but before he finishes speaking, Fang Jun has already shouted in a low voice: "You still dare to quibble? It's so presumptuous! The King of Jin is young and doesn't know the importance of it. You are the old man next to His Majesty, how can you not know the depth? Now it's cast. What a big mistake. Not only did you not repent, but you put the blame on King Jin. He deserved it! Someone, take this beast down and put it in prison and deal with it afterwards!”
A large group of people in the hall were silent, looking at Fang Jun in shock.
Not only because Wang Shoushi is one of His Majesty's most trusted chamberlains, it is definitely not easy to jail him at this time, but also because Fang Jun's words "The King of Jin is young and does not know the importance" is clearly provoking King Jin to preside over the middle palace. Reasonableness...
In addition, Fang Jun and the King of Wei came hand in hand, which naturally made people think differently - could it be that all the officials in the East Palace had defected to the King of Wei under the leadership of Fang Jun?
Closed again...
