Chapter 78: The government is in turmoil, and the five princes win over the officials

"Fifth Prince, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Only after hearing the words of the assassin did Chu Yun come back to his senses from his fantasy.

Immediately he changed his posture, sat up straight, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes!

"Now that we have the military power in our hands, it's time to win over the ministers in the court."

"Your Highness is wise. Do you know our goal?"

When the assassin heard that he had a mission, he quickly bowed and accepted the order with a determined look in his eyes.

"Now that Chu Yang is gone, I remember Zhang Dongzhi, Minister of Personnel and Minister of Households came to see him before, so let's start with these three."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, stood up, gently put down the military token, and walked back and forth in the bedroom.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on these three people now, and report any movement in time."

“Then find a way to hint to them that I am also from Chu Yang’s lineage and that I stand on the same side as Chu Yang.”

"If they trust me, I will send all their families out of the city. They will thank me in the future."

Hearing this, the assassin frowned and said, "Prince, what if they don't trust us?"

"If you don't believe it, just keep observing and find the right time later."

"promise."

The assassins took the order and left, while Chu Yun in the bedroom continued to walk back, thinking about the next plan.

But what he couldn't understand was why Chu Yang gave him the military power?

What's the secret behind this?

Or does Chu Yang think that he cannot mobilize the troops even if he has the military token?

In this way, he kept thinking late into the night...

the other side.

Chu Yang and Yang Yuhuan supported each other and walked along the rugged mountain road, taking one step deep and one step shallow.

"Your Highness, do you think... will those people come after us again?"

Yang Yuhuan's voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously scared.

"Don't worry, I won't chase you again."

"Yeah, so is your injury serious?"

"It's a minor injury. I'll be fine after resting at the inn."

Chu Yang smiled as if he was relaxed, but in reality, he was losing too much blood and his vision was black. If he hadn't been holding on, he would have fainted long ago.

"Those damn bastards were so cruel!"

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and cursed. The dagger pierced his abdomen. If it was a little more off.

I'm afraid my kidneys are about to be cut!

"There seems to be a light ahead!"

Yang Yuhuan suddenly pointed forward and said.

Chu Yang looked carefully and, sure enough, on the hillside not far away, there was a faint light.

It was obviously the inn that the assassin mentioned.

"finally reached."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, and then stumbled into the inn with Yang Yuhuan.

"Sir, would you like to stay in the hotel?"

A waiter with a fat face stuck his head out from the door and looked them up and down. His eyes lingered on Yang Yuhuan for a few seconds, flashing an unpleasant light.

"One upper room."

Yang Yuhuan said coldly, took out a silver ingot from her bosom and threw it on the table.

The waiter immediately smiled and bowed as he led them upstairs.

The room is not big, with only a bed, a table and two chairs.

"Your Highness, please take a rest first. I'll get some hot water."

Yang Yuhuan helped Chu Yang sit down on the bed and spoke softly.

Chu Yang nodded and closed his eyes tiredly.

The hardships along the way left him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Yang Yuhuan came in with hot water and saw Chu Yang's pale face and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Chu Yang forced a smile, took the towel handed to him by Yang Yuhuan, and wiped his face.

"By the way, I have to write a letter to Sima Yi and the others, asking them to prepare."

Chu Yang suddenly remembered something, took out a pen and paper from his pocket and started writing a letter.

He wrote:

"Mr. Sima, Mr. Wang Meng, Mr. Zhou:

I have become the crown prince, and if I still leave the palace now, the government will be in chaos.

Because he was assassinated by Emperor Yongning after leaving the palace, I am afraid that other princes will definitely leave the palace to recruit troops after learning about this.

Now, except for the fifth prince Chu Yun, no one else’s attempts to win you over are allowed to be trusted.

Wait for the right opportunity, I will come back and take back everything that belongs to me!

Chu Yang

After writing the letter, Chu Yang sealed it and was about to hand it to Yang Yuhuan, but he hesitated.

Now, only Suo Si and his men can deliver this letter to Qiongzhou, no one else has the ability to do so!

After thinking for a moment, he slowly lay down and decided to wait until his injury healed a little before doing anything else.

the other side.

Kyoto, thousands of miles away, was in chaos.

When Emperor Yongning learned that Chu Yang had escaped, he flew into a rage and ordered the city gates to be blocked and a city-wide search for Chu Yang.

For a time, the whole Kyoto was in a state of panic.

The atmosphere in the court was even more tense.

"Master Zhang, as the Prime Minister, why are you protecting the Seventh Prince?!"

Emperor Yongning sat on the dragon throne, glaring at Zhang Dongzhi who was standing below, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have never shielded the Seventh Prince. Please see clearly, Your Majesty!" Zhang Dongzhi knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Humph! You still dare to quibble after all this?!"

Emperor Yongning was furious. "Someone, take Zhang Dongzhi down!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Upon seeing this, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Personnel immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. They were all Zhang Dongzhi's men, and if Zhang Dongzhi fell, they would also be implicated.

"Are you two in cahoots with him?!"

Emperor Yongning became even more furious, pointing at the two men's noses and cursing, "You are a bunch of traitors, I will catch you all in one fell swoop today!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The court was suddenly in chaos, and officials knelt down and begged for mercy, fearing that they would get into trouble.

And all this.

All of this was seen by the Fifth Prince Chu Yun who was hiding behind the screen.

"It seems that my chance has come."

There was a gleam of light in Chu Yun's eyes. He had long been eyeing the throne. Now that Emperor Yongning was killing court officials, it was a good opportunity for him to win over the hearts of the people.

"Go and call Zhang Dongzhi, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Personnel later." Chu Yun said to his confidants.

"promise."

The confidant took the order and left.

Over time.

Zhang Dongzhi, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue saved their lives thanks to the persuasion of all the officials.

But they were suspended and investigated, and they knew they were in danger!

The news that Zhang Dongzhi was suspended and investigated exploded like thunder among the powerful circles in Kyoto.

Everyone knows that Zhang Dongzhi was a veteran minister who had served three dynasties. He held a high position and had many students and former officials throughout the government and the country. It is truly a pity that he has ended up like this.

Zhang Dongzhi, who was under house arrest in the mansion, was sitting in the study with a gloomy face.

The teacup in his hand had been squeezed to the point of being almost deformed, which showed how angry he was.

"Master, the Fifth Prince has sent someone to invite you to come over for a chat."

The butler came in hurriedly and reported in a low voice.

Zhang Dongzhi snorted coldly and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. "Fifth Prince? Why is he joining in the fun at this time?!"
