If it hadn't been for the imperial guards to block the road from Hongwu Gate to Zhengyang Gate in advance, they might not have been able to leave the city.

When the team walked to Zhengyang Gate.

The fireworks on the city wall were lit, with loud noises and countless fireworks exploding in the sky.

Exit Zhengyangmen.

From north to south, turn east to Temple of Heaven Street.

now.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't hear any sound in his ears, only the shouts of the people in the city were left.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing followed Zhu Yunxi.

During this period, Zhu Shangbing opened his mouth wide several times, but no sound reached Zhu Yunxi's ears at all.

Prince Qin Zhu Ping, who was wearing a royal robe with a dragon pattern, glanced deeply at the crowds on both sides of the street over and over again.

Although the royal family has been preparing since last night.

However, news from all sources in Yingtian City continued to reach the palace.

The emperor and the prince were busy accepting the instructions from the ceremonial officers, and the eunuchs and female officials in the palace were busy with all the matters related to the abdication ceremony.

So, other matters were left in the hands of Zhu Xi and Zhu Yunxi.

The news that the Jin Yiwei found out that the previous murder case was committed by Japanese people reached their ears last night.

Likewise, both Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Ping agreed.

This matter is not over yet, and the people behind the scenes must have other agendas.

Today's abdication ceremony is the final occasion where an accident may occur.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly.

Until now, he has not received any news from Sun Cheng.

This can only mean that Sun Cheng and others have not traced the traces of the Japanese yet.

And in a remote area far away from Temple of Heaven Street.

Sun Chengzheng was leading two knights in royal robes, silently watching the lively crowd in front of him.

The emperor's chariot has not yet entered his field of vision.

The palm of Sun Cheng's hand holding the Xiuchundao was already wet with sweat.

"No news yet?"

At some point, amidst the sound of fireworks, Sun Cheng asked in a hoarse voice.

Guard Tiqi in Jinyi beside him shook his head, with a hint of anger on his face: "We have searched the Shanchuan Temple and the Temple of Heaven, and searched all places, and we did not find any suspicious places or things."

"Then we can rule out the possibility that the Japanese would use gunpowder to cause casualties at the surrender ceremony?" Sun Cheng asked in a low voice.

After a whole night of investigation and sleeplessness, and because of the urgency of today's matter, Sun Cheng was in a state of extreme fatigue and excitement.

His whole body would tremble from time to time, and his eyes were red as if they were stained with blood.

Tiqi, who was beside him, pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Not necessarily, now it depends on whether we can find the hidden group of Japanese in advance. As long as we can find them before the abdication ceremony officially begins, no matter what they prepare in advance

It is impossible to use any means."

Sun Cheng thought for a while, stamped his feet fiercely, and jumped into the courtyard from the hidden courtyard wall.

The two owners of the courtyard were sitting in the courtyard, with a guard in golden clothes standing beside them. Watching Sun Cheng jump down, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble.

The scene on Temple of Heaven Street disappeared before my eyes, only the noise in my ears remained.

Sun Cheng had more energy to think about the current problems.

Just at this time.

A huge roar came from the Shanchuan Altar.

Sun Cheng's shoulders trembled, he raised his head and was about to walk out of the hospital.

The Tiqi on the courtyard wall immediately turned around.

"The ceremony over at Shanchuan Altar has begun. This is the salute."

Sun Cheng just breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

Sacrifice is a very complicated matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, under the guidance of the etiquette officials, stayed at the Shanchuan Altar for nearly half an hour before finally ending the etiquette here.

Then the royal chariot was started and turned back to Tiantan Street, heading towards the Temple of Heaven, the final location of the abdication ceremony.

"What if the Japanese don't want to attack His Majesty and the Crown Prince directly?"

Sun Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky today with a bright sun in the sky.

A Tiqi from the courtyard wall jumped down.

"What does Zhenfu mean?"

Sun Cheng seemed to suddenly have a little more consciousness, and his eyes moved rapidly.

"Today I am going to the abdication ceremony, and the court must be heavily guarded. The Japanese know this, and the people behind the scenes also know it.

Therefore, they should also know that it is impossible to manipulate and assassinate His Majesty and the Crown Prince, as well as the descendants of the clan, princes and ministers present at the abdication ceremony.

Therefore, they must find another way. So now, what is this way?"

Outside the courtyard, people's noises came in waves like a tide.

Sun Cheng began to press his lips tightly, frown, and pace around in circles.

His speed became faster and faster, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he felt that the answer was getting infinitely closer.

finally.

Sun Cheng growled lowly.

"They are the people of Yingtian!"

When Sun Cheng shouted this, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were blood red.

"Quick! Go and notify the Imperial Guards, Governor Tang, and the people in the Governor's Office, and strictly inspect the people watching along the street and near the Temple of Heaven. If necessary, be sure to disperse them all!"

Finally, Sun Cheng figured everything out.

He roared loudly, but due to a whole night of sleeplessness and high mental stress, he collapsed to the ground.
