Ye Chunqiu was waiting anxiously for the news in this Qinglong. The situation in the court could only be seen by some letters.

Except for Zhu Houzhao who willfully take Liu Jin to overseas, everything in the court seems to be safe and sound, but behind this calmness on the surface, Ye Chunqiu knew that there must be something hidden behind it, and there are some undetectable secrets.

This kind of correspondence exchange lasted for more than a month. During more than a month, Ye Chunqiu investigated from multiple sources.

Basically, I just know that Beijing is very calm at the moment and there seems to be no abnormalities.

Until one noon more than fifty days later, a bad news came.

Everything was as Li Dongyang expected, and the bad news really came.

This time it was not a di report, but Qian Qian's secret letter, which was delivered by a fast horse. Ye Chunqiu thought it was just ordinary news, but after reading the secret letter, he was stunned.

He looked at the letter in surprise, with only a few words inside, but it made his body tremble, and something seemed to be falling in his heart.

His Majesty's fleet was indeed replenished in Quanzhou and insisted on continuing to voyage to the West.

Ye Chunqiu is very familiar with Zhu Houzhao's personality, so Zhu Houzhao insists on going to the West, so there is no big suspense.

But the fleet encountered wind and waves on the thirteenth day after departure. The wind and waves swept across the entire navy. The navy was wiped out. Survivors quickly sent the news to Quanzhou Prefecture. Seeing the urgent matter, Zhang Shao, the governor of Quanzhou Prefecture, quickly reported to the capital.

Your Majesty...just die.

Ye Chunqiu looked at the secret letter blankly, as if he could not digest such a message for a while. He was always calm and composed, and he was a little confused.

He was a little disbelief. How could the emperor who was once a heroic person die so unknown? How could the person who was still smiling alive in front of him just a few months ago be buried in the fish's belly in the blink of an eye?

Even though he had expected that some people would be detrimental to Zhu Houzhao, the news of Zhu Houzhao's death still made Ye Chunqiu feel too sudden.

Ye Chunqiu's first reaction was to go to Beijing as soon as possible. At this time, he couldn't take care of that much.

When he thought about this in his heart, Ye Chunqiu could no longer sit still. He didn't even know what emotions he should use to face it. He couldn't cry, but his mind was buzzing, and he didn't know what he should do.

For a long time, he has become accustomed to using cold interfaces to face everything, but what is happening now makes him feel at a loss for the first time.

He opened his mouth to speak, trying to say something, but he raised the letter and took a look again, falling into silence.

After a long silence...

"Come, come." He finally made a voice, suddenly, and became extremely angry.

This grandson... is not dead.

It’s really worth it, it’s really worth it. If you don’t get married for three days, this beast has no sense of responsibility. Now... what should he do now?

A clerk hurried in and said, "Your Highness, what are your instructions?"

Ye Chunqiu opened his mouth, but for a moment he seemed to be unable to speak, and his mind was in chaos.

However, at this time, another clerk hurried in and said, "Report to your Highness, Li Dongyang is asking for a meeting."

Li Dongyang?

The figure who deserves to be beaten immediately passed through Ye Chunqiu's mind. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this old guy is elegant, but now, Ye Chunqiu just wishes to slaughter this guy and feed the dog immediately.

He was shocked with a huge hatred, and suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, it's just right here. Call in, call in immediately." Ye Chunqiu shouted while slapping the desk hard.

Not long after, Li Dongyang stepped in slowly.

Although Ye Chunqiu is in a high position, he rarely loses his composure in front of others. At this time, he saw the ferocious look on Ye Chunqiu's face, Li Dongyang said in surprise: "Your Highness, is there really bad news coming?"

"Yes." Ye Chunqiu said with a big laugh: "Now, it seems that he has finally fulfilled Mr. Li's wish. Your Majesty... is dead."

When talking about the word "death", Ye Chunqiu seemed to be hit hard by something. His face was very pale and he collapsed on the sofa. He said, "I want to kill people now, and Mr. Li is here just right. Your Majesty is dead. No matter how he dies, someone will always need to be buried with him. Mr. Li will sacrifice this flag first. Li Dongyang, don't feel wronged. There will be many people who will be buried with you soon. I will uproot you and leave no one!"

Ye Chunqiu completely revealed his aura of killing enemies on the battlefield, and seemed murderous.

Li Dongyang was not angry or afraid, but said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is not dead yet, are you just anxious to have a murderous thought?"

Ye Chunqiu had a desire to kill, and wanted to kill Qingguang by all the people who might be murdering Zhu Houzhao to vent his hatred. He thought that today, he simply started with Li Dongyang. Who would have expected that Li Dongyang would suddenly say this. Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment and did not react.

Li Dongyang looked at Ye Chunqiu and smiled bitterly, "I have said it would definitely be heard by your majesty. Your Highness, the King of Lu, must have thought that someone was preparing to murder him. But what I mean was that some people in the capital needed time and an excuse to welcome the new emperor. Whether your majesty dies or not is actually important, but think carefully, what if the bad news comes from outside at this time? Then the next thing is the country's demise, but the country cannot have a king for a day, and then the new king is welcome. But who is going to be the emperor is the most important thing for these people."

Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized everything.

If you really care, you will be confused. He only thought that Zhu Houzhao was dead, but for a moment he forgot that this was actually just paving the way for another conspiracy.

For those who have ulterior motives, it is indeed not important that Zhu Houzhao dies. What is important is that there is this bad news. As long as the bad news comes, the dragons have no leader, a new king will inevitably be needed.

Who is the new king? This is the key. The prince is young and there are people who are ready to move. As long as someone in the court forces the palace to choose a vassal king to occupy the world, it is legitimate. There are only a few orphans and widows in the court, and the attitudes of all parties are unclear. Once the momentum is created, some people will have the opportunity to support the people they need to succeed the throne.

As Li Dongyang said before, even if His Majesty comes back a year or two, what does it matter?

As time goes by, the new emperor has ascended the throne. With the support of all people, even if Zhu Houzhao comes back, he is just the Supreme Emperor. Even if he doesn't imprison, there will always be a way to deal with it, right?
