Chapter 84 Surprise
…
"What? Everyone was assassinated?" In the study room, the little emperor looked at Bai You in shock.
"Yes, among the people who attended the banquet last night, except for Mr. Yan who was safe and did not encounter assassins, the other princes' sons all encountered assassins after leaving Tianxiangju." Bai You also had a face full of doubts.
"How are the princes' children? Are Ji Yan and Mu Qiuhuang okay?" the little emperor asked anxiously.
It's okay for the other princes' disciples. He is really afraid that something will happen to Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan. Even though he is the emperor, he can't afford it if something happens to these two people in Fengling City.
"Thanks to your majesty, the two of them are fine, and no one else was hurt," Bai You replied.
"That's good." Hearing that Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan were fine, the little emperor was deeply relieved, and then asked: "Has the assassin been caught?"
Bai You glanced at the little emperor cautiously and said in fear: "Except for the two groups of assassins who assassinated Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan, who were killed by their guards, there is no news about the other assassins..."
Upon hearing this, the little emperor glanced at Bai You dissatisfied and scolded, "What do the Kyoto Prefecture and the patrol camp do for food?"
At this moment, a young eunuch ran past quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cai, the governor of Kyoto, wants to see your Majesty."
"Why did he come to see me if he didn't catch the assassin? No," the little emperor said angrily.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, the assassin naturally did not dare to say anything. He quickly received the order and prepared to reply.
At this moment, Bai You stopped the young eunuch, turned to the young emperor and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to meet Master Cai first. The information I just reported to Your Majesty was two hours ago. Perhaps Master Cai
There will be new progress over there.”
Seeing that the young emperor did not speak, Bai You ordered the young eunuch: "Go and tell Master Cai to come in."
The little eunuch did not move when he heard this, but looked at the little emperor with a troubled expression.
Although the little emperor had acquiesced to Bai You's suggestion, he was still very satisfied with the little eunuch's attitude. He said gently to the little eunuch: "Do as Eunuch Bai said."
"Yes." The little eunuch was a little flattered when he saw the little emperor talking to him so gently, and he quickly responded and ran out.
After the little eunuch left, the little emperor said to Bai You with great satisfaction: "You have trained your disciples and grandsons well...understand the superiority and inferiority of the master."
Bai You knew that it was the little eunuch's attitude that made the little emperor happy, but when he thought that he had just given the order to the little eunuch without waiting for the little emperor to speak, the hair on his back stood up and he quickly knelt down on the ground.
, confessed: "This old slave deserves to die."
"Eunuch Bai, get up quickly. What crime do you have if you can sympathize with me? In your heart, am I the kind of foolish king who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?" the little emperor said calmly.
"This old slave has no intention of doing this. I hope your Majesty will tell you clearly." Bai You said sharply.
The little emperor glanced at Bai You proudly and said softly, "Okay, get up quickly! You have trained these slaves really well. I am very pleased."
…
"I am here to greet Your Majesty..." Cai Boyan, the governor of Kyoto, quickly knelt down and saluted after entering the upper study room.
Cai Boyan, the governor of Kyoto, is in his forties this year. He is one of the disciples of the old master Situ Changqing. He has been sitting in the position of governor of Kyoto for some years. Kyoto Prefecture
The official position of Yin seems to be of high rank, but this position is actually not easy to take. There are as many powerful people as dogs in Kyoto City, and the power of the official position is much greater than that of Yin, the governor of Kyoto. Once any case involving the powerful occurs, regardless of the Kyoto Prefecture,
No matter how you judge it, Yin seems to have followed the wishes of his sister-in-law and lost the favor of his brother. Therefore, although Cai Boyan's official reputation is not very good every year, his position has always been as stable as a mountain and has never wavered. Although Cai Boyan is a person,
He is quite capable in this position and is a rare capable minister, but because he is very close to Xiahou Wenyuan, another favorite disciple of the old master Situ Changqing, he has praised Xiahou Wenyuan many times in front of others.
Because of this, he is not very popular with the little emperor. However, although the little emperor does not like Cai Boyan, he still knows the importance of the position of Kyoto Prefect and does not dare to change people lightly... But he will be given the opportunity to put on Cai Boyan's shoes.
You will definitely not miss it. Cai Boyan, who is a smooth man and has become an old fox, naturally knows the little emperor's thoughts very clearly. Therefore, if there is nothing on weekdays, he can avoid the little emperor at will, unlike those other people.
The officials were so eager to show their faces in front of the emperor.
"I haven't seen Aiqing for some time. Why did Aiqing come to the palace today?" The little emperor asked as if nothing had happened while sitting on the dragon chair, and did not let Cai Boyan get up.
"Your Majesty, something big has happened." Cai Boyan said anxiously.
"Oh, something big has happened. Don't be impatient, my dear. Speak slowly." The little emperor still looked unhurried.
Cai Boyan raised his head and was a little angry when he saw the little emperor's attitude. He then turned to look at Bai You beside the little emperor, but who knew that Bai You turned his face away after noticing his gaze.
At this time, Cai Boyan became even more angry and thought to himself: "It's so important that I ran into the palace non-stop just to report to you. It would be better for you to despise the minister and not say anything, but to ask questions knowingly. I don't believe what happened last night."
You didn't get the news that such a big thing happened? It's true that the emperor was not in a hurry to kill the eunuch... Bah! Why did you compare yourself to a bastard like Bai You?"
"Didn't Aiqing just say something big? Why didn't you say anything?" the little emperor continued to ask unhurriedly.
Seeing that the little emperor still looked like this, Cai Boyan also started to think carefully, thinking that you are not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry? At this thought, Cai Boyan also adjusted his tone and said calmly: "Your Majesty, does he know that Prince Xi Lie hosted a banquet at Tianxiang Juli last night?
What about the children of other princes?"
"Nonsense? Of course I know this. Didn't I send Pei Qian and the patrol battalion to assist your Kyoto Prefecture and protect their safety?" the little emperor said.
Cai Boyan was even more angry when he heard the little emperor's words. The little emperor's words were like finalizing the matter. The patrol battalion went to assist the Kyoto Prefecture? Does that mean that the Kyoto Prefecture should bear the main responsibility for what happened last night?
...Since the Kyoto Prefecture is the main one, why do you still send the patrol battalion? Are you going to see if there is any merit? The merit belongs to the patrol battalion, so why should the Kyoto Prefecture take the blame?
Cai Boyan said calmly: "Your Majesty, who is busy with everything, may have remembered it wrong. At the beginning, your Majesty said that the patrol battalion would be the main one and we, Kyoto Prefecture, would assist..."
"Ahem..." The little emperor also felt that what he had just said was a bit excessive and couldn't help but look at Bai You.
Bai You understood and said sharply: "Master Cai, let's talk about the important things first!"
"Yes, please tell me first what happened?" the little emperor agreed.
"Yes..." Cai Bo responded seriously and continued: "What I want to say is that Prince Xi Lie's Crown Prince Ji Yan hosted a banquet for the princes' children last night. After the banquet ended last night, all the princes' children were attacked by assassins."
"What? All of them encountered assassins? Didn't I order you, the Kyoto Prefecture and the patrol battalion to protect their safety? How could something like this happen again?" Xiao
The emperor pretended to be shocked.
"Wei Chen is guilty." Cai Boyan did not refute this time, but directly confessed and admitted his dereliction of duty.
"Is there anything wrong with the sons of the princes?" the little emperor continued to ask.
"Thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, the princes' children were not harmed at all. It's just that these princes' children have been pampered for too long, and they were all frightened..." Cai Boyan replied.
"Since the sons of the princes are fine, I can rest assured. They are all young talents of our Dayou. If anything happens, it will be our loss..." The little emperor spoke calmly and spoke to Bai You.
He said: "Tomorrow you will take the imperial doctor out of the palace to express my condolences to these princes and disciples on my behalf."
"According to the order." Bai You responded.
The little emperor then turned to look at Cai Boyan and continued: "Has the assassin been caught?"
Cai Boyan seemed to have guessed that the little emperor would ask this question, and replied unhurriedly: "The bodies of the assassins who assassinated Ji Yan and Mu Qiuhuang have been taken into the Kyoto Palace... I have ordered people to guard the gates of each city.
Strictly check people entering and exiting..."
"That means he hasn't been caught yet?" The little emperor's tone suddenly changed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Since the assassin hasn't been caught yet, why don't you go to the palace to catch the assassin? Only by catching the assassin as soon as possible can you give to the princes' children.
An explanation, give me an explanation."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely correct, but there is a more important matter that needs to be decided by Your Majesty right now." Cai Boyan said quickly.
"What could be more important than catching the assassin?" the little emperor asked in confusion.
Cai Boyan did not dare to delay any longer this time and quickly spoke quickly: "It's like this. After the princes' disciples encountered the assassins last night, they actually ordered people to summon the soldiers who were left outside Fengling City. This morning
All those soldiers actually gathered together and asked to enter the city to protect the Lord..."
"Entering the city to protect the Lord? Are they going to bring weapons into the city to protect the Lord?" The little emperor muttered a few sentences silently, slammed the table, and shouted: "The state clearly stipulates that the princes' sons cannot bring more than a hundred followers to the capital.
, What are they going to do now? Are they going to rebel? "
"Your Majesty, calm down." Cai Boyan quickly persuaded.
The little emperor turned pale with anger and continued to shout: "Calm down, how can I calm down? This is my world, this is my capital, and under my eyes, there are assassins who dare to kill my guests, and they haven't even done so until now.
Catch the assassin... Did you see it? They are actually summoning their followers to go to the capital to protect the Lord. What does this mean? It means that they feel that I can't protect their safety... What do you Kyoto Prefecture and the patrol camp do? Take me.
I’ve lost all my face…”
"The sin of a humble minister deserves to be punished by death. Please take care of your dragon body..." Cai Boyan quickly kowtowed and confessed.
"Where are they now?" the little emperor asked.
Cai Boyan quickly replied: "Your Majesty, they are all blocked outside the city by my ministers."
"You did the right thing." The little emperor rarely praised Cai Boyan.
"But… "
Cai Boyan continued: "Although the group of soldiers are now blocked outside the city, they refuse to disperse. Instead, they set up roadblocks outside the city gate saying they want to check the assassins... Now the city is accessible.
Can’t get out.”
"Rebellion, rebellion against them... Is this a siege of the city?" The little emperor said angrily: "Let Pei Qian lead the patrol camp and the Kyoto government officials to disperse them. If they dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot."
