They sat in two rows in front of the imperial case.

Unable to see the scene behind the case, Qin Wen guessed that it was only the Queen Mother Wang Chan'er sitting there. He didn't know how she felt sitting in front of the body of her biological son. But it was just like this. She could sit there.

In the Chongwen Palace, people like Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Yang En and others would never trust her and doubt her, right?

At this time, Xue Ruogu, Zhang Feng and two other officials came in from outside and called the eunuchs guarding the corridors of the inner and outer halls to go in and report.

"What's going on?" Qin Wen walked to the stern-looking Xue Ruogu and asked.

"Several maids in the Changxin Palace were stabbed to death, but the Wang Guifei and the eldest prince were nowhere to be seen. The palace attendants and guards on duty at Chongfu Gate today all said that they saw the Wang Guifei's car driving to Chongfu when they were walking through the water in Changyang Palace.

We visited Chongfu Temple and saw the envoys from Chongfu Palace coming in and out. We just rushed to Chongfu Temple and saw the carriages from Changxin Palace, but the Wang Guifei, the eldest prince, Yun Puzi and others were nowhere to be found." Xue Ruogu

said.

Nowadays, all affairs in the palace city and the imperial city are handled by one or two civil servants and military generals from different factions, who monitor each other.

As for the palace eunuchs and maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, except for those who were servants and above, all were summoned to the Chongwen Hall for questioning. The lower-level palace eunuchs were all put under centralized custody first, and were interrogated one by one by the Imperial Guards and Military Department together with the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department.

Qin Wen thought to himself that among the six or seven thousand people, the day lilies would be cold after the interrogation was over, right?

He did not see Zhang Ping and others. Presumably Zhang Ping, Jiang Huo, Anji Xiang, Chen Ruyi and other eunuchs should be in the inner hall or the inner dormitory. It was just because of the angle that he could not see it for the time being.

"Has the assassin been caught?" Qin Wen asked.

"Three people were killed on the spot. They were all Mongol warriors. However, how they got in has not yet been found out," Xue Ruogu said. "There is no unusual movement among the various departments, right?"

"There's nothing unusual outside - oh, by the way, I have a secret to report to the prime minister, but I can't let others see anything unusual." Qin Wen whispered to Xue Ruogu.

Xue Ruogu glanced at Qin Wen and nodded. After waiting for a while, he and Zhang Feng went in to report the results of their search of Chongfu Temple.

"You all claim that not even a fly can enter the palace. Now the assassins have broken in, His Majesty has died, Empress Li has been burned beyond recognition by the fire, and two living people have not been found. There are still two people in the imperial city?

I don’t know how many assassins there are, but all of you are just eating shit!” Wang Chaner roared uncontrollably and angrily scolded Xue Ruogu, Zhang Feng and others for their incompetence, “Tonight, even if I dig the city three feet, I still have to show up.”

, you must see the corpse after death, otherwise, you all go home and don’t be embarrassed here!"

There was a moment of silence, or the people in the inner hall were discussing something, but the outer hall could not hear it.

After a while, Shen Yang and other ministers came out.

In the current atmosphere, no one came forward to ask what was going on.

Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Yang En, Chen De, Li Changfeng and others stood in the main hall. Their eyes scanned everyone's faces for a long time before they ordered Guo Liang, Zhang Han, Huang Lu and the guards around.

All the Du Yuhou were called in - Du Yuhou, the bodyguard and pro-army officer, was already a senior general in the army, and the factions were complicated. It was not Guo Liang, Zhang Han, Huang Lu or Chen De who was nominally the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the bodyguard pro-army.

Li Changfeng has complete control.

Qin Wen didn't see Li Xiu, but looking at Chen De, there was nothing unusual about Li Changfeng's expression. What was more, he looked heavy and had an unconcealable panic in his eyes, facing the evil situation in front of him.

It's normal to think about it. Before Lu Qingxia took action, he really had to convince Li Changfeng and Li Xiu to directly participate in the assassination. Li Changfeng and Li Xiu would never sit back and watch Li Yao be assassinated.

This has nothing to do with family affection.

If their ultimate goal is to establish the second prince as the new emperor, then Li Yao, as the legitimate mother of the "second prince", will naturally become the "empress dowager" under Wang Chan'er, the "empress dowager" after the new emperor ascends the throne.

Li Changfeng and Li Xiuzhen wanted to participate in the conspiracy. How could they sit back and watch such an important bargaining chip be destroyed by Lu Qingxia?

At the end of the day, Li Changfeng and Li Xiu are still used as pawns by Lu Qingxia.

As for Li Pu, he is not qualified to enter the imperial city at this time.

Looking at Zhou Yuan and Xu Jing who were among the crowd, their eyes were full of vigilance, and they were obviously involved in the conspiracy. Qin Wen couldn't help but look at Han Daoming, and he could also see the solemn look in Han Daoming's eyes.

The current situation was too chaotic. Qin Wen could not confirm that the situation would develop as they expected, and he had no chance to communicate directly with Han Daoming at this time, so he could only wait and see what would happen.

After a while, Li Xiu, Zhang Feng, Zhong Yanhu and other princes from the capital, accompanied by the three bodyguards and generals Guo Liang, Zhang Han and Huang Lu, walked into the main hall. Shen Yang looked at them and the many officials and officials guarding the outer hall. Waiting for the eunuch, he said in a deep voice:

"Before the thorough search of the Imperial City is completed, all officials will move the officials and palace attendants to the Zhengshi Hall to wait for orders. During the special period, all orders in the Imperial City that are not issued by the Zhengshi Hall are arbitrary orders. Those who hold them are those who rebel and enter and exit without authorization. They are also rebelling against each other. The Queen Mother is very sad and wants to stay in Chongwen Palace to keep vigil for His Majesty. If there is another trouble with the guards..."

"General, I will obey the order..." Shen Yang's words represented the will of the ministers, guards and military commanders as well as the Queen Mother who had not left the inner hall at this time. Guo Liang, Zhang Han, Huang Liu and all the princes of the capitals all expressed their compliance in unison. .

"The Queen Mother asked Chen Hou to stay in Chongwen Hall." Lu Qingxia came out and said.

Chen Denai is the only living relative of the Queen Mother Wang Chaner, and he is also the nominal commander-in-chief of the bodyguards.

Before the assassin was arrested and His Majesty was newly deceased, it was reasonable for the Empress Dowager to order Chen De to stay in Chongwen Palace to accompany the mourner. There was no reason for anyone to say otherwise.
