Emperor Nagasawa [Rebirth]

In December in Los Angeles, it was snowing heavily.

Looking at it from a distance, the overwhelming whiteness that covers all the different colors in the world gives people an indescribable cramped oppression, which makes people feel infinitely uneasy.

Zhang Yi only felt something was wrong recently.

It has been nearly four months since Jiang Ze set off.Every five days, Jiang Ze would send someone back a letter from home, ordering Zhang Yi to read it to Jiang Xi.Although everyone thought that Jiang Xi didn't understand at all, they all felt that this habit should be kept, so they didn't have any objections.

But at this time, eight days have passed since the last time I received Jiang Ze's letter from home.

Zhang Yi was a little uneasy.

He glanced at Jiang Xiaoyuan who was obediently sitting on the couch, trying to stuff his feet into his mouth, but because of difficulty in balancing, he fell back on the couch, Jiang Xiaoyuan subconsciously closed and locked the palace door.Then he stood quietly in the shadows, staring closely at the outside of the hall through the crack of the door.

He waited a moment.

In the heavy snow, a group of patrolling guards in silver armor came from far to near.This is a very common thing, but Zhang Yi has never seen the leader.

And at this time, Tingwei should not patrol here.

Zhang Yi's pupils shrunk.

He picked up Jiang Xiaoyuan without hesitation, and turned the decorative vase aside.There was only a very slight "click", and a secret passage appeared in the room that could accommodate two people passing side by side.

At the beginning of the construction of the Luocheng Palace, Jiang Ze integrated many organs from his previous life into it. This secret passage leading to a hidden courtyard outside the palace is one of the simplest settings.

Half of Zhang Yi's body had already entered the secret passage, he finally stopped, and his thoughts turned a few times.Then he turned around and took the cloak and Jiang Xiaoyuan's favorite snack, the molar stick, before re-entering the secret passage.

He stood on the lowest stone step, lit the torch, and turned the mechanism back.

Then he stuffed a molar stick into Jiang Xiaoyuan's mouth, and waited quietly for a long time.

It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoyuan finished gnawing on the molar stick and fell asleep under the dim light that there was a burst of inaudible footsteps above her head.Zhang Yi frowned slightly, and left the palace with a torch without hesitation.

At the same time, an unexpected guest ushered in the Luo Mansion.

Zhuge Yu.

Luo Mansion was the residence of the right minister of the current dynasty, and for a while, the right minister actually valued Zhuge Yu very much.It's a pity that Zhuge Yu later exposed his identity as a follower, and the right minister alienated him.Usually no matter discussing matters or getting together with close friends, I basically don't take him to play together.

Of course, Zhuge Yu now has his own party members from the official to the Yushi doctor, and there is no need to rely on the right to support him.To put it bluntly, the Right Prime Minister's time is numbered, and Zhuge Yu knows very well that he only needs to do what Jiang Ze asks, and the position of Right Prime Minister will always belong to him.

The right minister didn't want to see him, and he didn't bother to curry favor with the right minister.

Therefore, Zhuge Yu's visit today seemed a little strange.

The Prime Minister on the right led people into the hall and ordered them to make tea soup.He looked at the water stains on Zhuge Yu's shoulders due to the warmth of the hall, Shi Shiran said calmly: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Master Zhuge must have something serious to come here today?"

Zhuge Yu nodded unexpectedly: "It is indeed a great event."

The Prime Minister on the right twitched the corner of his mouth, saw Zhuge Yu's serious face, and heard him lower his voice and said softly: "Today, I made a divination for His Majesty and King Jiang, but it was an extremely dangerous omen. , I'm afraid something big will happen..."

Before he finished his words, a person rushed in from the hall.The man came running wildly, with an extremely flustered expression, and even tripped over the threshold when he entered the hall, staggered and fell to the ground, and even crawled up to the right minister: "My lord, something is wrong! Your Majesty—His Majesty died in South Korea." Already!"

Xu Shi was a little old, and the right minister did not understand the meaning of this remark.Just when he wanted to scold this person angrily, "what's the point of being so flustered?" Zhuge Yu suddenly stood up and said anxiously, "Say it again?!"

The man repeated what he had just said.

This time, Prime Minister You finally understood that sentence.He stared at the person with his eyes wide open in disbelief, but his whole body trembled and the tea bowl in his hand slammed to the ground, and then he passed out suddenly!

This was the most flustered day in the history of the Jiang Kingdom.

This Japan is a day of rest.Countless officials stole a day of leisure at home, but they all received an urgent report from eight hundred miles away: Emperor Jiang and King Jiang were stabbed to death outside the capital of South Korea!

Everyone heard it, with different expressions on their faces.The shock in my heart was unbelievable, it was unbelievable!Even after a long period of sluggishness, he couldn't come back to his senses.

Then, without waiting to confirm whether the news was true or not, they all changed into court clothes and entered the palace to discuss countermeasures!

The officials soon gathered together.Whispered a few words with the people who were friendly with them, and looked around, they found that the right minister was not among them.

Someone remembered the relationship between Prime Minister Right and King Jiang, so he hesitated to ask Prime Minister Right if he needed to be notified, but was informed by Prime Minister Left with a solemn face. Prime Minister Right knew the news, but fainted from grief... I don't know if it was There is a fear of life.

So everyone believed in the fact that the emperor was assassinated and died.

Prime Minister Right is seriously ill, and the Taiwei is away, so only Prime Minister Left can take charge of the overall situation.Under such a critical situation, Prime Minister Zuo lived up to the heavy responsibility and quickly stabilized the hearts of courtiers.

He got up, stood in front of everyone and looked around, his eyes were extremely firm: "Everyone, listen to me."

He said calmly in the silence of all the officials: "Your Majesty Hongfu the day before yesterday, and now only the urgent report from the front is not enough to confirm that His Majesty was indeed assassinated and died. I should wait until the evidence is convincing before making a conclusion, and don't get confused."

He paused, and then said, "At most fifteen days, there must be a conclusion. And during these fifteen days, please strictly guard your positions and shoulder your own responsibilities!"

"I firmly believe that His Majesty is safe and sound at this time! But if the situation is really serious - please remember that His Majesty is not without successors. It's just that Jiang Guo's crisis today can only be overcome by you!"

Perhaps it was because there was no one in the court whose status was comparable to him, Prime Minister Zuo really quickly stabilized the unstable hearts of the people with just these few words.It's a pity that this is exactly the case, but people who are sober enough can see the clues.

Zhuge Yu listened to the echoing voices of the people around him, and took advantage of the situation to let out a sigh of relief, and echoed.

He observed Zuo Xiang without any trace.

Seeing the impeccable composure on Zuo Xiang's face, Zhuge Yu gradually calmed down.

The winter night was not very clear, and he couldn't watch the stars before, so he had nothing to do to make a divination for Jiang Ze.After discovering the clues, he made three hexagrams. After Zhuge Yu calculated, he found that all the hexagrams showed signs of danger, but they were not fatal.What's more, the group of people he trained for Jiang Ze didn't send back any wrong news at all, so he was a little relieved.

Since the so-called "good people don't live long and cause harm to thousands of years", Jiang Ze is likely to ignore it, so based on his understanding of Jiang Ze, he just let... No, he ordered the soldiers to bring his "death news" back to the palace up.

... Is it, "put it to death and then live again"?

Compared with the uneasiness in everyone's mind, Prime Minister Zuo was really calm and unhurried.It was also because of this calmness that everyone leaned close to him as if they saw the backbone of the court, as if he was the master of the court.

Of course, Zuo Xiang was not dazzled by the sudden pursuit.He knew full well that he was not completely sure of winning.

He is a student of Wen Renmin and a friend of Wen Renyan.Later, Wen Renyan withdrew from the capital with the entire Wenren family, and he recommended himself to take over the rest of the former Right Prime Minister's lineage, becoming a hidden chess piece for the Wenren family to spread in Kyoto.

Over the years, he followed Emperor Jiang on the surface, but in fact he was in collusion with Wen Renyan, intending to regain the glory of the past.But as the power in his hands grows, his ambitions grow day by day, and he is increasingly unable to satisfy the status quo.

When it was revealed that Renyan had framed Jiang Suyezhong before, and then died, Prime Minister Zuo was very worried and frightened for a while.It's just that Jiang Ze was "seriously ill" at that time, and Jiang Su put all his thoughts on Jiang Ze, and failed to wipe out all the troops immediately. It is also impossible for Wen Renyan to know Jiang Feng's habits in his later years, so as to realize the plan of "stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix".

However, he has shown his feet in the end.

Both he and Wen Renyan made a mistake. Compared with Jiang Su who had always been thought to be raised as a prince, Jiang Ze, whom they had learned to be mediocre like a follower, was really too scary.He seemed to have no pity for human life by nature, but he still followed behind Jiang Su, but firmly grasped the military power, watching other people live and die with a smile!

Whenever he recalled Jiang Ze's attitude towards rebellious officials and thieves, Zuo Xiang felt infinitely terrified in his heart.

It's just that today, regretting is useless.Xu Shi was so afraid that he made the most daring plan: assassinate the emperor in South Korea, support the new emperor, get rid of the right minister and Taiwei Yuanxiu, and then support the young emperor to control the government - so this world, No one can hurt him any more!

This is a relatively satisfactory plan, at least so far, the most critical and difficult step has been realized.

Jiang Ze and Jiang Su are dead!

Although Prime Minister Zuo still couldn't believe it when he received the secret letter, Jiang Ze's death seemed too easy this time.But after receiving the urgent report from the army three days later, he finally believed it completely.

--ha!What about Jiang Ze, what about unifying the Three Kingdoms, in the end, he died in his hands!

Jiang Ze, Jiang Ze, you are really useless!

Zuo Xiang's heart twitched.In the end, his face was full of color, and he ordered the bribed team of court officers to go and arrest the prince.

however.

When Tingwei returned, he did not bring the prince, but only told him some bad news: the prince is missing!

Zuo Xiang's face suddenly changed.

The guards in the palace are so strict that even Zhang Yi, the servant of the emperor, needs to be interrogated when he enters and exits, let alone taking the prince out of the palace.

Zuo Xiang turned his face coldly, and waved his hands to order everyone to search more. It is bound to find the emperor's servant Zhang Yi and the prince within half a month.

But where is the prince?

The Prime Minister on the left looked down at the people in the hall, and his gaze paused for a moment on the Prime Minister on the right.

...Perhaps, he should go and see the right figure who is sick in bed.
