Chapter 357
357 The court Assembly (3)
“If we were to investigate, it would involve more than half of the capital’s officialdom and there would be many obstacles. I’m afraid even if His Majesty personally gave the order, there would be no results.”
Zhang Kaitai nodded as if he had expected this. He asked, “”What about the three assassins” cultivation?”
“Two of them are in the spirit forging stage, and one of them is in the copper skin and iron bone stage.”
He killed a spirit-refinement realm and a bronze skin and iron bone realm with one slash … The hall fell into a deathly silence.
After some time, Zhang Kaitai said, “”Where’s Xu ningyan?”
“He fell into a deep sleep after treating his injuries.”
Zhang Kaitai nodded and looked at the silver gongs. He coughed and said, ” you don’t have to care too much about the details. As silver gongs, you are all first-class talents and are no worse than anyone else. Only occasionally … Occasionally, one or two freaks will appear, and we can’t use normal standards to measure them.”
The silver gongs forced a smile and echoed a few words.
Zhang Kaitai changed the topic. who do you think sent the assassin? ”
for now, we don’t know who Xu ningyan has made enemies with recently. According to what we know, if we rule out personal grudges, it’s very likely to be related to Consort Fu’s case, ” said one of the men with a frown.
……….
The next day, at dawn.
Zhang Kaitai first went to visit Xu Qi ‘an. Seeing that he was still asleep, he did not disturb him. He took the file of ” Xu Qi’ an’s assassination case ” that he had ordered the official to write last night and went to the noble spirit building.
After the announcement, he went to the seventh floor and met Wei Yuan in the tea room.
This high-ranking eunuch’s activities were in two points and one line:The Imperial Palace-noble Qi building.
Thanks to the information Network of the Yamen, Wei Yuan didn’t need to go out to know what was going on in the world.
“Duke of Wei, Xu ningyan left the palace yesterday and was assassinated on his way.” Zhang Kaitai handed over the scroll.
Wei Yuan’s eyes narrowed. He took the file but did not open it immediately.”How is he?”
“I’ve suffered some injuries, but it’s not a big deal. He’s just exhausted and in a deep sleep.” Zhang Kaitai said.
Wei Yuan nodded and opened the file. He quickly read it and looked up at Zhang Kaitai, ” Two Spirit forging stage and one with copper skin and iron bones? ”
He seemed to be seeking confirmation.
Even a wise man like the Duke of Wei was often dumbfounded by that kid … Zhang Kaitai nodded and said, ”
“Copper skin and iron bones.”
Wei Yuan was silent for a long time before he chuckled. not bad, not bad.
“Could it be related to the fu Fei case?” Zhang Kaitai asked.
“Consort Fu’s case is His Majesty’s family matter. It’s not my place to interfere. However, I’ll report this matter to the higher-ups.” Wei Yuan closed the file and frowned.
He did not have many informers in the palace. After all, the palace was Emperor Yuan jing’s territory. If he placed too many informers in the palace, he would completely anger Emperor Yuan jing. Ever since three of his pawns had been taken out, Wei Yuan had temporarily given up on the palace.
The tacit understanding between ruler and subject was still necessary. Emperor Yuan jing told him clearly, “Don’t ask about the situation in the palace.
However, after the assassination of Xu Qi ‘an, Wei Yuan was a little angry. He wanted to re-activate his spies in the palace and pay close attention to the case.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs. Wei Yuan looked up, and Zhang Kaitai followed suit.
A black-robed official entered the tea room with his head lowered and respectfully said, “”Duke Wei, there’s an order from the palace. The court Assembly will be held at the beginning of the morning,”
“I know.” Wei Yuan nodded.
“Maybe something big has happened …” “I’ll take my leave then.” Zhang Kaitai stood up.
The court session was not held every day. Usually, a diligent sovereign would hold a court session once every three days. The time was fixed.
The Kings who were lazy would do it once every five to ten days.
When it came to Emperor yuanjing, he basically didn’t go to the morning court. When he was in a good mood and felt that he needed to deal with government affairs, he would send someone to inform the officials a day in advance.
Today’s impromptu court meeting meant that something big had happened.
After Wei Yuan finished his tea, he called Nangong qianrou to enter the palace with his adopted son.
They arrived at the meridian Gate at 5:00 am. The square was full of officials. They were whispering to each other about the reason why Emperor yuanjing suddenly called for a court meeting.
Most of them were guessing whether it was related to Consort Fu’s case.
This case was related to the Crown Prince and the country. Only such a matter would make Emperor yuanjing, who had been slacking off in politics for a long time, suddenly call for a court meeting and gather all the officials to discuss it.
“Duke Wei.”
The Imperial Censorate’s censor of the right came forward and carefully looked around. He said in a low voice, ” there’s news from the palace that His Majesty entered Feng Qi Palace last night and then left in a rage.
Wei Yuan’s expression froze for a moment before he slowly nodded, “”Yes.”
…….
[PS: aiyaya, I’ve just posted the announcement and it’s already a face-smacking on the same day. This chapter has a fight, and fights are always very difficult to write.] Sorry, sorry.
It was still 10000 words today, so he would update first and then change it.
