Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2029

With Emperor Zhaowu's firm words, the last bit of hesitation of the four major families was crushed to pieces.

You know, the Minister of Justice is in charge of the case, with a group of eager eunuchs. The files in the Dali Temple are piled higher than people, and all the government offices involved in the case have cancelled their holidays.

Dongyuwei and other shadow guards are also working day and night to increase their efforts to find evidence for the case.

Once the crimes of the four great families are proven, they will all be punishable by death.

The four great families have now shot the arrow with no turning back, especially with the secret instructions from Emperor Zhaowu, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Gui Sifang suddenly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and porcelain pieces flew everywhere.

But his eyes were red, and he shouted sternly, "What we are doing today is definitely not a rebellion against the Northern Wing!"

Everyone in the hall held their breath.

He spoke word by word, "History will record that the Holy Emperor forced Emperor Zhaowu to abdicate, intending to overthrow the government!"

He suddenly drew out his sword, the cold light reflecting his sinister brows, "We will send troops to support the king, clear the emperor's side, rectify the government, and protect the northern wing of the country!"

"Serve the King! Served the King!" All the well-dressed people in the room stood up at the same time, and the sound of cups hitting the ground was like the cracking of an ice river.

The tone of serving the king was set, and everyone's hearts were also settled.

Everything is ready, the east wind rises, and the drums of war beat.

Before getting a clear attitude from Emperor Zhaowu, the four great families would not dare to act rashly even if they had made proper arrangements.

Emperor Zhaowu appeared in person tonight, and the east wind came by itself.

The "loyal act to support the king" will take place tonight.

At the wedding of Prince Li, the emperor's carriage never arrived, and the emperor Zhaowu's chariot was nowhere to be seen. But on Zhuque Street, the sedan chairs of civil and military officials were lined up for three miles.

To put it bluntly, the quarrel between the father and son of the royal family was a family affair within the palace. If the emperor was really so angry that he wanted to depose his own son, why would he let the Ministry of Rites issue the imperial seal according to the system of princes?

This truth was clear to all the civil and military officials in the court. So several of the cabinet ministers even competed secretly to see whose gift of jadeite qilin would win the favor of Prince Li.

Therefore, all necessary congratulatory gifts must be prepared, and not a single cup of wedding wine should be missed.

Just tonight——

There were dozens of people missing from the roster of guards at the four gates of the imperial city, and the people on duty at the Suzaku Gate were two newly promoted deputy captains.

The shift change at Xushi started half an hour earlier than usual. The archers who were supposed to be on duty at the corner tower were temporarily transferred to the storehouse to count the ritual vessels for the Li King's ancestral worship tomorrow.

The smell of wine wafted from the patrol camp outside Xihua Gate. The soldiers were all laughing and talking happily, celebrating the wedding of King Qingli.

The spy reported that the poison in the wedding wine had taken effect, and His Royal Highness Prince Li and the Princess were poisoned. The Emperor left the palace late at night, and the Court Envoy Shen was originally giving acupuncture to Liu Gelao, but after hearing the news, he also hurried into Prince Li's mansion.

Gui Sifang stood up suddenly, and the sword tassel moved without wind.

He raised his arms and shouted, "History will be written at this moment! Let's get back to the original source and restore our bright and clear world!"

Lin Wensong's eyes were like lightning, and his voice was like a bell. "Protect the king and quell the national crisis! We swear to defend the North Wing to the death!"

Qin Hongchang looked up at the moon, his sleeves fluttering, "The green mountains are my mirror, the sun and the moon are my witnesses! My heart is only for the country, and my body is dedicated to the people!"
