Rebirth is not a dream.

At the morning court session, the court was in chaos, with ministers discussing and expressing their own opinions on the assassination of the Northern Yan Emperor. At this time, the emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. He looked at the ministers below the stage, with anger and disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Minister of Dali Temple! How is the investigation going?" the emperor asked angrily, his voice echoing throughout the court.

Gao Zheng, the Minister of the Dali Temple, bowed slightly and replied with a pale face: "Your Majesty, there is no definite clue yet. We are investigating with all our strength. Please be patient, Your Majesty."

The emperor slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open, and shouted: "It has been three days, what on earth have you been doing? Where is the Ministry of Justice? What are the Jinwu Guards doing? Can't you even catch an assassin?"

Gao Zheng knelt down immediately, bowed his head and admitted his fault, saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We have tried our best, but this case is really difficult. The assassin came and went without a trace, and there are very few clues left at the scene. We are stepping up our investigation and hope to solve the case as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and was filled with worry. He knew that this assassination could have a significant impact on the relationship between the two countries. If it could not be resolved quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I give you seven days to bring the murderer to justice! Otherwise, you will be beheaded!" The emperor gave the order angrily, and all the ministers were shocked.

Gao Zheng kowtowed to express his gratitude and said that he would do his best. Afterwards, the emperor asked other ministers about their opinions on the matter and listened to some suggestions. In the end, he decided to send more troops to strengthen patrols in the capital to ensure safety. At the same time, he asked the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to work closely together to speed up the investigation of the case.

A tense and serious morning court session ended, and the ministers dispersed and went about their business. They knew what the emperor's anger meant, and they had to find the real culprit as soon as possible to calm the storm.

After the court session, Gao Zheng returned to his residence with a heavy heart and immediately summoned his trusted advisers to discuss countermeasures. They all sat together in a tense and serious atmosphere.

"Now that the deadline is tight, we must find another way and look for new clues and breakthroughs," said a confidant anxiously.

Gao Zheng frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "What do you think?"

Another person suggested, "Sir, can we start with the envoys from Northern Yan? Perhaps they can provide some useful clues. After all, this assassination involves the relationship between the two countries."

Gao Zheng nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "This is a good idea. Tomorrow I will personally visit the Northern Yan envoys to find out what they are thinking."

The next morning, Gao Zheng, dressed in his official uniform, arrived at the Northern Yan embassy with a few trusted men. Inside the embassy, ​​the Northern Yan envoys had been waiting for a long time.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Gao Zheng asked directly, "I came here this time to learn about the assassination of your emperor. I wonder if the envoy has any findings or clues about this matter?"

The Northern Yan envoy's eyes flickered and he evaded the question, saying, "We are also investigating this matter, but we have no clue yet. Please forgive me, sir."

Gao Zheng was suspicious, but on the surface he remained calm and composed: "In this case, I hope that both sides can work together to find the real culprit as soon as possible, so as not to affect the friendly relations between the two countries."

The Northern Yan envoys agreed repeatedly and expressed their full cooperation. However, after Gao Zheng left the embassy, ​​the Northern Yan envoys immediately sent someone to contact their country secretly to inform them of the situation.

After Gao Zheng left the embassy, ​​he had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that the envoy of Northern Yan was hiding something, as if he was hiding some secret. So he decided to send his confidant to secretly monitor the envoy's every move. After a few days, the confidant finally brought news.

It turned out that the envoys of Northern Yan often met with a mysterious person in secret, and each meeting was late at night, and the meeting place was also very hidden. This discovery made Gao Zheng realize that the complexity of the matter was beyond his imagination. He felt that this clue was very important, so he ordered his confidants to continue to investigate in depth. At the same time, the court was also stepping up its investigation, hoping to find more clues about the assassination. However, despite their great efforts, they still did not make any substantial progress. As time went by, Gao Zheng felt more and more anxious.

At this time, he received an anonymous letter. The content of the letter surprised him: "There is an abandoned temple outside the city, where the answer you want may be hidden." Gao Zheng immediately realized the importance of the letter. He decided to go to the abandoned temple in person to find out. When he arrived at the temple, he found that there was indeed a mystery here. In the basement of the temple, he found some evidence related to the assassination. These evidences seemed to point to a larger conspiracy.

Just as Gao Zheng was about to leave, a group of men in black suddenly appeared in front of him and surrounded him tightly. A fierce fight ensued. Gao Zheng used all his strength to fight the men in black to death. He was agile and his swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword carried a deadly threat. The men in black cooperated well, with both offense and defense, and for a while it was difficult to tell the winner. After a fierce battle, Gao Zheng finally gained the upper hand. His sword stabbed at the men in black like a storm, not giving them any chance to breathe. In the end, the men in black were defeated one by one by him.

Gao Zheng fell to the ground. He gasped and looked at the black-clad men on the ground. A strong anger and determination surged in his heart. He knew that this battle was just the beginning and there were more challenges waiting for him. He must uncover the truth of the assassination as soon as possible to protect the safety of the country and the people.

At the same time, the Fourth Prince received news in the palace that the assassin was related to the Yang family. He frowned slightly and thought to himself: "Yang family? Could this matter be related to the Sixth Prince Yuan Chang?"

The Yang family is the Sixth Prince's maternal family and has always been the focus of attention. The Sixth Prince is only sixteen years old, but he has already shown extraordinary talent and ambition. This incident made the Fourth Prince realize that the Yang family may be eager to take action.

The fourth prince sat in the study, looking at the intelligence in his hand with deep eyes, thinking about the next countermeasures. He knew that this matter was definitely not simple, and if it was not handled properly, it would cause an uproar in the palace.

"It seems that I need to investigate the Yang family and see what their intentions are." The fourth prince muttered to himself. He decided to personally investigate the background and movements of the Yang family in order to better deal with this crisis.

The fourth prince began to investigate the Yang family. He secretly collected evidence and tried to expose the Yang family's conspiracy. At the same time, Gao Zheng continued to investigate the assassination in depth. He found that the mastermind behind the assassination seemed to be more than just the Yang family. By chance, Gao Zheng got a key piece of evidence that proved that the assassination was related to the power of a neighboring country. He was shocked to find that the conspiracy actually involved the interests of other countries.
