What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this? Will it cause immeasurable damage to the court? If not handled properly, the court will be in chaos!

His hands unconsciously clenched the memorial, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The more Fang Xuanling thought about it, the more frightened he became. He knew very well that the seriousness of this matter might shake the foundation of the imperial court.

"I need to go to the palace to see His Majesty right away. Dengshan, you must come with me! His Majesty might be in danger!"

Fang Xuanling made a prompt decision, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty, his heart filled with worry for the safety of His Majesty.

Your Majesty is a sage monarch rarely seen in history. We must protect Your Majesty and not let the villains succeed.

"Yes, Prime Minister Fang!"

Chu Suiliang responded without hesitation, and he also had loyalty to His Majesty and concern about the situation in his heart.

He knew that he had to face the situation together with Prime Minister Fang and do his part for the court.

……

Inside the Liangyi Hall, the atmosphere was as oppressive as a rainstorm. Li Chengqian sat upright on a golden nanmu armchair.

He slowly put down the report presented by Fang Xuanling, frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and anger flashed in his eyes, but his heart was very complicated.

He has always believed in the loyalty of the Jinyiwei, but what happened now forced him to reconsider.

If Zhang Xianhuai had not been the one he had promoted in the first place, Li Chengqian would have suspected that he was plotting something behind his back.

The Jinyiwei were all carefully selected loyal men, and the entire Qianniuwei was also mixed in. The two checked and balanced each other. Under normal circumstances, even if Zhang Xian had second thoughts, it would be impossible for him to cause any trouble.

Even if he really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid his head will be delivered to me the next day.

But what exactly went wrong in this situation? Is someone secretly manipulating it?

His eyes became sharp and a fire of vigilance ignited in his heart.

"Okay, stop making wild guesses. Xianhuai won't betray me."

Li Chengqian's tone was calm, but there was still a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Just ask what's going on."

His eyes turned to Fang Xuanling.

"Prime Minister Fang, doesn't that captain beating the drum want to see me? Summon him."

After a pause, he said again.

"Let all the officials come to court. I want to see what happened!"

Li Chengqian's tone became increasingly cold, revealing a hint of murderous intent. Anger was already burning in his heart.

The Jinyiwei beat the drum to protest their injustice, which was a great shame and humiliation!

Li Chengqian's words made Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang shudder.

"No matter who it is, if they dare to disrupt the imperial order, I will not show mercy!"

The news of His Majesty's anger spread throughout Chang'an City like wings in a short moment.

The news that the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard beat the drum to appeal to the heavens for justice was like a storm that instantly swept through the streets and alleys.

Even the torrential rain could not stop the burning gossip hearts of the people of Chang'an.

People poured into the streets in the rain, asking each other for news and guessing what big event had happened.

Everyone's face was filled with curiosity and excitement, as if this was a rare feast.

Some people were talking excitedly in the rain: "This is really big news. Even the Jinyiwei are beating drums. This must be a huge injustice."

Others said: "I wonder if some big shot will be implicated? It looks like many more people are going to die!"

When the senior officials in high positions received the news that His Majesty was going to hold a court meeting immediately, they immediately became flustered.

While urging the servants to prepare court robes, they simultaneously asked people to summon all the younger generations in the family.

The old ministers were all nervous. They held the hands of their juniors and anxiously asked them if they had offended anyone outside recently. They kept praying in their hearts that the juniors' recklessness would not bring disaster upon themselves.
