Most of the invited courtiers and nobles arrived at Jiaxing Palace at this time. They all consciously drank and chatted with acquaintances or colleagues and superiors. The ladies thoughtfully gave up their seats and went to the side to talk by themselves. went. Li Ci scanned around and found that many important officials in the court had not been seen. The kings of Zhou, Yi and An all appeared later. Seeing their leaders coming, the people of the King of Zhou gathered around and invited King Zhou and King Yi to have a drink with great enthusiasm and respect.
Maybe it was a coincidence that the left and right prime ministers got together with King Dingbei, King Boshan and several princes. Many of them were old men, but each had his own temperament. Prince Boshan is very noble; King Zhao Jie of the North is considered to have the most unique temperament. He was born as a military general, full of evil spirits and serious appearance; Qin Youxiang looks like a refined man. He is wearing a blue gown today and has a fluttering beard. He showed a bit of immortality; Left Prime Minister Xuchang was a thin old man with a faint smile on his face.
Among the several princes, Duke Ning is the youngest, but he is almost fifty, but he takes good care of himself and looks like he is only forty years old. Ning Guogong was accompanied by Ning Zhen, acting as a junior, humble and respectful.
Li Ci looked around, and sure enough he didn't see King Xiang, so he focused his attention on King An. This guy came early. It seemed that he must have met Zhou Wang and Yi Wang at the palace gate, otherwise he would not have come in together. At this time, King An was drinking alone, and he was much more deserted than King Zhou and King Yi.
Li Ci kept his eyes on King An for a long time, as if he wanted to find out something from him, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end. Despite this, she still had some indescribable ominous feeling in her heart, which made her feel uneasy.
Zhao Rongqing followed Li Ci's gaze and looked at King An, his eyes showing deep thought, but only for a moment, and asked: "Yongfu, why are you always staring at King An?" She always knew that Li Ci was actually very alert. , being alert is a good thing. Since she wants to push Li Ci on that road, she naturally hopes that Li Ci can be more thoughtful, sharp and alert. And in the current season, it is even more important for Li Ci to be able to detect something and use it to show yourself.
Tonight may not be a peaceful night.
During the period, Su Changshi came to inform you that His Majesty will be visiting Jiaxing Hall later. Please enjoy the banquet without restraint. Everyone was already accustomed to Emperor Zhaohe's late arrival at the banquet, so they didn't take it seriously and continued to drink.
Li Ci was a little worried, wondering if Emperor Zhaohe was ill. She moved, intending to catch up with Su Changshi and ask, but Zhao Rongqing held her hand and shook his head. Li Ci hesitated for a while and finally sat down. But her movements were a little abrupt, which attracted a lot of people's attention. In order to cover up the past, Li Ci pretended to be relaxed and carefree, and those people looked away.
At the beginning of the year, after three rounds of drinking, Emperor Zhaohe still showed up. Many courtiers already felt a little strange and began to discuss the matter, but that was all. In the past two years, it was normal for Emperor Zhaohe to be late for any banquet that required Emperor Zhaohe to attend in person. However, the state banquet was important after all. If it had been in previous years, Emperor Zhaohe would have appeared half an hour ago.
As time passed, more and more people in the court were surprised. They also had their own vigilance. Naturally, they had to be careful to verify anything unusual. Therefore, some princes and others were invited to inquire. Didn't get immediate approval. King Zhou looked a little hesitant, pondered for a moment, and then turned to the people on the left and right to ask their opinions.
"also may."
Many of the important ministers looked in agreement, but the right minister was reluctant to express his position, so they all turned their attention to him. Despite the attention of everyone, the right minister remained unhurried, and finally twirled his beard and agreed to the requests of the ministers and ministers. . Just as several people were about to leave to invite Emperor Zhaohe, a chamberlain came in a hurry and said, "His Majesty's oral instructions are to invite the left and right prime ministers, King Dingbei, King Boshan and several princes to have an audience."
This servant is young, but his face is not unfamiliar. He was recently promoted to serve Emperor Zhaohe. Li Ci and others have also seen him several times in front of the emperor. However, on the night of the state banquet, His Majesty refused to show up, but sent a chamberlain to deliver oral instructions to summon several important ministers. There was something strange about this matter, which inevitably made people feel uneasy.
King Yi was the first to ask: "What's going on? Why did my father only summon the equal ministers on the left and right, and why didn't you tell me quickly?"
He looked like he was angry. The servant did not dare to disobey him, but he could not say anything. He just replied: "Your Highness, King Yi, please calm down. This is your Majesty's word. I am just following your orders."
King Yi was very angry after hearing this. When he was about to punish the servant, King Zhou stopped King Yi with a smile and said: "Since it is the father's oral order, there will be no delay." After saying this, he turned his eyes to the people on the left and right, and the atmosphere became a little tense. Weird.
Can I be in Jiaxing tonight?Emperor Zhaohe saw an expression of pain and remorse, but Emperor Zhaohe's expression only changed slightly after hearing this. He finally closed his eyes and never looked at Prince Xiang again. Prince Xiang's expression became even more ferocious.
At this time, King Xiang's trusted aide hurried in from outside the palace and whispered in King Xiang's ear. King Xiang's expression changed and he hurriedly walked towards the palace gate. Halfway through, he turned back and glanced at Emperor Zhaohe, who had closed his eyes. Deep as a cold pool. Then he left without stopping and left with his staff.
After King Xiang left, Emperor Zhaohe opened his eyes, his eyes calm and sharp, but there was deep pain in his eyes. Su Changshi, who was serving beside him, had already been taken away and guarded. Outside the palace were all soldiers and horses who were plotting against King Xiang. He looked at the empty hall and sighed for a long time.
On the other side, Li Ci was protected by He Zong and had already broken through. But in the end, it was discovered that the palace was almost surrounded by King Xiang's troops. Fires loomed everywhere, and troops were searching almost everywhere to catch Li Ci and others. He Zong took Li Ci and hid on the beams of a palace, which was relatively safe.
"Now the palace is full of King Xiang's troops. Something must be wrong with my father. I don't know what's going on with Arong?" Li Ci was anxious in his heart. He was worried about Emperor Zhaohe's situation and worried about Arong's danger. , she forced herself to calm down and think carefully about how to rescue the current crisis.
It is a fact that King Xiang rebelled. He was so crazy that he wanted to kill all his brothers except him. In this way, the father had no choice.
