Chapter 477(1/2)
"Why?"
Xu Mingfeng asked back.
"It's very simple. The water in Beijing is becoming more and more turbid!"
"If you are not careful, you may be destroyed!"
It’s not that Wu Ziyang is alarmist, but there is history to be found.
"Do you think it is a good thing for a second prince to have an army of 200,000 people?"
By now, Xu Mingfeng also understood what Wu Ziyang meant.
"It seems that I have to leave as soon as possible..."
Xu Mingfeng sighed softly.
Wu Ziyang nodded, "This muddy water in the capital has begun!"
"So, leave as soon as possible!"
"The culprit..."
"Don't worry about it!" Wu Ziyang said very simply. How long has it been now and you still care about the real culprit behind it?
"Okay, I understand!"
Xu Mingfeng nodded in response.
…
On the other side, in Prince Gong's palace, Prince Gong was sitting on a nanmu chair, closing his eyes and meditating.
But for some reason, the scene of Xu Mingfeng insulting himself in front of the prince suddenly appeared in his mind.
On the spot, veins popped out on his face, and when he opened his eyes, anger rushed out.
Wow…
He raised his hand and knocked the snacks on the table to the ground, panting.
"Xu Mingfeng, I, Xu Minglin, must wash away today's shame!"
"wash!"
Now Prince Gong has changed from his previous morbid state and has become extremely vicious.
The eyes are so dark that it makes one's heart tremble.
Immediately, he ordered someone to secretly spread the news about the assassination of the prince in the hunting ground.
As long as it enters Nanhuang’s ears.
In this way, the news that the prince had been assassinated quickly reached the ears of the Southern Emperor.
His face was as dark as water and his eyes were cold, "Is it true that the prince was stabbed in the back?"
In front of you is Gongsun Hong, the Prime Minister of the Southern Dynasty. He said: "I also heard the gossip and came here to report it to you! Also, I feel that there is no smoke without fire, so this matter should be investigated!"
"The prince is the crown prince of a country. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous..."
Nanhuang responded, "Well, this matter should indeed be investigated!"
"Prince Xuan!"
"yes!"
The eunuch responded in that sharp mulberry voice.
After a while, the prince arrived, full of energy, and saluted the Southern Emperor, "My son, I have met my father!"
"no!"
Nan Huang waved his hand, "I just heard from the Prime Minister that you were assassinated. Is this true?"
When Xu Mingji heard this, he was also stunned. He didn't expect Nanhuang to know it so quickly.
Could it be that someone did this on purpose?
Xu Mingji said: "Returning to my father, this is a small matter, nothing to worry about!"
"Hmph..." Nanhuang slapped Long An, "Assassinating the crown prince is a trivial matter?"
"Thank you for saying it!"
Xu Mingji lowered his head, "I..."
Nanhuang continued: "Let me see where the injury is!"
Xu Mingji did not dare to disobey the emperor's order and could only reveal the injured position.
It’s not very far from the heart…
This made Nanhuang even angrier, "Prince, Prince, you are so confused!"
"If this arrow misses a few points, you will definitely die. And now you are still covering up the murderer!"
"Tell me, who did it?"
Xu Mingji said: "Father, I can solve this matter by myself..."
Snapped!
Nanhuang became angry and slapped the table, "Now that I know about this matter, I have to intervene!"
"Assassinating the crown prince is provoking the royal family!"
Seeing that Nanhuang was determined to resolve the matter, Xu Mingji told Nanhuang everything that happened on the hunting ground.
After hearing this, his eyes darkened and became much deeper.
Said: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Gongsun Hong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is a bit tricky and should be investigated thoroughly!"
Nanhuang nodded, "Well... Prime Minister, it's up to you to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"I must know the truth!"
"yes……"
Nanhuang stared at Xu Mingji a few more times, pointed at him and said, "You, what can I tell you about you?"
"Father, I..."
"Okay, stop talking, go back and recuperate!"
The Southern Emperor still loved the prince very much.
"yes!"
Xu Mingji retreated.
If Nan Huang didn't know that he was hit by an arrow, it would be a trivial matter.
Now that he knows it, his nature has completely changed.
Xu Mingji left the palace and on the way back to the Prince's Mansion, thinking carefully...
In the palace, in the side hall, Gongsun Hong spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, if it is really the second prince who did it, then..."
The Southern Emperor immediately reassured Gongsun Hong, "The prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Then, Nanhuang said again, "Don't have any worries, just investigate and deal with it!"
"Old minister understands!"
…
Late at night, the Prime Minister came to the North Palace with the imperial army.
More than a thousand people surrounded the entire palace, and torches illuminated the entire palace extremely brightly.
Gongsun Hong rushed to An Shi, the commander of the imperial army beside him, and said, "Go and invite the second prince out!"
An Shi was stunned for a moment, "Prime Minister... Prime Minister, shall I go?"
Gongsun Hong glared at An Shi, "If you don't go, why don't you let me go?"
Anshi had no choice but to open the business, so he stepped forward, picked up the buckle, and knocked gently on the door. It was obvious that he was somewhat afraid of the Northern King.
"Second Prince, excuse me!"
"The Prime Minister invites you!"
However, there was no response inside.
At the same time, deep in the palace courtyard, Xu Mingfeng's face was as dark as water, and his mood was high. He did not expect the imperial army to come so quickly.
Completely and unexpectedly.
Wu Ziyang said: "It seems that your Majesty knows what happened on the hunting ground. Second Prince, don't hesitate any more and withdraw! If you don't withdraw, I'm afraid you will lose everything you have now!"
To be continued...
