Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 343 The scapegoat, Wu Zhu!

Throughout the entire hall, righteous voices began to be heard one after another.

The civil and military officials, princes and emperors present all united in their demands for Li Chengze to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The sound was loud and grand, lingering throughout the entire hall.

At this moment, everyone reached a consensus and there would be no more objections.

Those who can make their way in official circles are not ordinary people; they can be described as seasoned.

So, sometimes, a few looks from certain people can make you instantly understand what is going on.

It has come to this point. If I still can’t guess what will happen next, then all my previous career in the officialdom will have been in vain.

At this moment, Li Chengze looked at the people in front of him, deep in thought.

Although he looked expressionless on the outside, he was actually very happy in his heart and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He also didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

If we follow the previous plan, there will definitely be a few voices of opposition after this step.

As a result, there is now unanimous support and no one opposes at all.

When Li Chengze looked around, he finally understood what was going on.

Most of the people present now are Lin Ruofu, those officials of Lin’s party.

Apart from that, the remaining members of other parties are simply dispensable and have no say at all.

And those who opposed the Lin Party, like Fan Jian and Chen Pingping, did not appear here at all.

In this way, it will be easy to unite the front.

However, he couldn't agree directly now, and he still had to do what he should do on the surface.

After a while.

Li Chengze straightened his robes and said, "First of all, I... ahem... I am honored to have your support."

"I also know that if these things are not handled properly, it will bring disaster to Qing Kingdom."

"However, my father has just been killed and the assassin has not yet been caught. I don't have the energy to do anything else."

"However, I hereby promise you that if the assassin is not caught within three days, I will do as you say and inherit the throne with great reluctance."

As he spoke, he pretended to be sad, slowly turned around, and his shoulders began to shake.

Hehehehe... I can’t take it anymore!

Hold on, you must hold on.

Li Chengze suppressed the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

At this time, Lin Ruofu bowed to Li Chengze and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right."

"I also ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to take care of your health and not to be overly sad."

The Minister of Rites followed suit and said, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself for the sake of the country and the people, and don't be too sad."

The Minister of Revenue said: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself for the sake of our country and don't be too sad."

The Minister of War: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

The Censor-in-Chief said: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

Cabinet Scholar: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

……

Soon, Li Chengze turned around, tears still flowing from his eyes, and said to everyone: "Okay, from now on, no one is allowed to leave the palace within three days, no matter who they are."

"Until the assassin is caught!"

Although the officials were somewhat reluctant, they did not say anything.

After all, in the current situation, the best thing to do is to stay in the palace.

If you take the assassin out when you leave the palace, you will be charged with a serious crime.

At this time, Li Chengze said again: "Everyone, do you have any objections?"

All the officials in the hall were silent.

"Okay, in that case, you can all take a rest here first." "I will make arrangements for you later."

As soon as Li Chengze finished speaking, he saw a guard quickly walk into the hall and kneel on one knee.

"Report!"

"Your Highness, we found his traces when we were chasing the assassin just now."

"It's just that this person is very skilled in martial arts, and I and others are no match for him."

Li Chengze asked: "Is this assassin the Saint of Northern Qi?"

The imperial guard immediately shook his head and said, "It's not a woman, but a young man in black."

"He was holding an iron pestle, his face was covered with a black cloth, and he was moving very fast."

Li Chengze pondered and said, "The boy with a black cloth covering his face is pretty good at martial arts?"

At this time, a general heard the voice and immediately said, "It's Wu Zhu!"

Li Chengze looked at the general and asked, "General, do you know who this person is?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The general nodded and said, "Your Highness, I have met him several times before. His name is Wu Zhu, and he is a person with extremely high martial arts skills."

"It is said that this person's martial arts skills are superb, and his martial arts skills are above those of a grandmaster."

"I didn't expect that Wu Zhu was actually an assassin."

"So that's what's going on." Li Chengze nodded thoughtfully and said, "I was just curious about this."

"No matter what, this is also a heavily guarded imperial palace. How can it be a place where assassins can run wild?"

"It wouldn't be surprising if a grandmaster intervened."

After Li Chengze said this, most of the officials present showed an expression of "I see".

No wonder when they rushed over just now, they found the place where Emperor Qing died and the house was so badly damaged.

At that time, everyone was wondering how this was done.

Now that a grandmaster has taken action, it is completely understandable.

I guess Wu Zhu brought assassins from Northern Qi to assassinate Emperor Qing, and then he started fighting with Grandmaster Hong Siyang.

The combat power of the two grandmasters is still very terrifying, so it is normal for them to destroy those houses.

Even the civil servants knew how powerful the Grand Master was.

At this time, Li Chengze immediately waved his hands angrily and said: "Humph!"

"Convey my order that the assassin Wu Zhu, along with the Northern Qi assassins, sneaked into the palace to assassinate the emperor and has now fled the palace."

"Anyone who can catch this man will be rewarded handsomely!"

Very good, now the person who takes the blame has been found.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The imperial guard nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Afterwards, Li Chengze said to everyone: "Now that things have come to this, you can all take a rest here first."

"I am tired. I will come back to discuss this with you tomorrow."

After saying this, he immediately looked at Li Chengru, Li Chengping, and Li Hongcheng, winked at them, and then turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Li Chengru and Li Chengping immediately understood what he meant and turned around and left.

Li Hongcheng also looked at Prince Jing beside him and said in a low voice: "Father, I...I feel sick in my stomach and need to go out for a while."

Prince Jing just saw the wink Li Chengze gave before he left, so he naturally knew what was going on.

However, he did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.

Li Chengze is going to ascend the throne and become emperor soon, and he can't wait for his son to hang out with the other party.

Thus.

Even if I don't rely on his connections in the future, I won't suffer any loss.

Afterwards, some officials in the hall sat on the ground, while others gathered in pairs.

They were all discussing the big event that was about to happen.
