In short, Zhao Yun had been feeling very depressed these days, so when these people repeatedly mentioned the need to thoroughly investigate the cause of the late emperor's death, he vented his anger directly.
On that day, Zhao Yun scolded all the civil and military officials, but these ministers also learned the previous emperor's approach: pretending not to hear, and after Zhao Yun could no longer scold, he brought it up again. Zhao Xu could not bear it and directly ordered people to drag the five old men in their seventies and eighties away and put them in jail.
The court suddenly fell silent. All the civil and military officials lowered their heads as if they had confirmed something. Zhao Yun only felt that his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. His physical strength was getting worse and worse.
So Zhao Yun went to rest not long after leaving the court. However, before he could wake up, five more ministers came to ask for a meeting. They were all sons of old ministers who had just been thrown into prison. One of them even had someone carry a golden medal of immunity from death.
Zhao Yun was so angry that he fainted.
"Hahahahahaha!" Li Mofu laughed out loud after hearing this, as if he had heard the joke of the century.
"Stop laughing, stop laughing, be careful a fly might fly into your mouth." Wang Ruiyan said with a smile.
Lu Mingyun couldn't help laughing when he talked about this. "His Majesty finally released those old ministers, but they haven't attended court in the past few days."
"But many court officials are still giving advice, so the city gates will probably have to be opened." Lu Fengning said with a smile.
Wang Ruiyan licked her lips, took a sip of tea and said, "Once the city gates open, should we go somewhere else to take shelter?"
"I think so too." Li Mofu nodded in agreement.
"...I talked to my father about this, but he just told us to leave first." Lu Mingyun said with a sigh.
"Ah? Your father is not planning to leave the capital?" Li Mofu asked curiously.
Lu Mingyun nodded. "Father means that it's impossible for everyone to leave, but it's indeed dangerous not to leave."
"Will we go to Jiangnan too?" Lu Fengning asked.
"Of course, the old lady and Nian Huan have both gone to Jiangnan, so we naturally have to meet them there." Wang Ruiyan said.
Li Mofu also nodded. Jiangnan is far from the capital and is a prosperous place. Lu Mingyun also has his own assets and manpower there. They will not live off their assets if they go there.
"By the way, the third prince is really... dead?" Lu Fengning still couldn't believe it.
Lu Mingyun frowned at this. "I don't have any information at all. I've had people investigate in the capital for several days but haven't found out who leaked the news. But now the Third Prince hasn't shown up, and His Majesty hasn't summoned him back to his fiefdom... I guess he's in big trouble."
Li Mofu was completely stunned. He had always believed that the Third Prince had spread the news himself, and that he had been lurking in the capital. Isn't that the same routine in TV dramas? Combined with Li Mofu's impression of the original novel, he always thought that the Third Prince would appear at a critical moment, kill his brother and seize the throne, and then return to the original story.
So now Lu Mingyun said that the third prince might be really dead?
The four of them were silent in the side hall for a long time. Everyone had some disrespectful thoughts in their mind. After all, the current situation made it difficult for them to accept Zhao Yun as the new emperor. Li Mofu and Wang Ruiyan were afraid that Zhao Yun would not give up and turn them into medicine. Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning were afraid that the current emperor would not be able to defend the border and cause war.
In addition, many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with Zhao Yun, especially after the news of Zhao Yun's assassination of the third prince came out. Moreover, Zhao Yun's poor health was known to everyone in the world. If the blood medicine wore off one day, would Zhao Yun still be able to handle the heavy state affairs?
I hope that witchcraft will become prevalent again, or that there will be internal strife among the royal family for power. How will the common people live? How will Li Mofu live?
"I...I'm just hypothetically speaking," Li Mofu said cautiously, "Do you think it's possible that Zhao Xu did that?"
