The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 663 Thunder Wrath

April [-], evening.

A group of knights crossed the long street and finally stopped outside the palace.

At the gate of the palace, all the guards on duty kowtowed, and Zhao Yanxun also jumped off his horse.

He was found on the eighth day of April, and it took him four days to drive him out from the mountains in the northwest of Beidi County and return to Yuanyang Mansion all the way.

When he stepped up the steps, four senior officials of the palace greeted him all the way.

"See Your Highness!"

"Free gift!"

After everyone got up, Zhao Yanxun stood where he was and said, "It's getting late, you all go back!"

The sky was dark, and everyone couldn't see Zhao Yanxun's expression clearly, but they could hear that he was in a bad mood.

Inside and outside the palace, Zhao Yanxun had absolute authority, the four ministers did not say much, but turned and left after saying goodbye.

Walking into the palace, Zhao Yanxun said to Zhang Meng behind him: "Immediately...bring someone to see me!"

"Yes!"

…………

When he learned that Zhao Yanxun was back and wanted to summon him, Cao Yunhui's first feeling was not happiness, but anxiety.

When changing clothes, Cao Yunhui repeatedly warned Liu De not to talk about it later.

In the past few days, the two of them had a very detailed discussion on "what happened", which was enough to justify themselves.

After changing their clothes, the two followed the guards all the way, and were taken outside the west gate of the palace.

Inside the palace gate, two young eunuchs were already waiting, leading Cao Yunhui and the others to move on.

Enter from the west gate, go forward for a while and pass through the left gate of Jinshen, and you will come to the front of Jinshen Hall.

Stepping up the steps, Cao Yunhui felt more and more heavy, and he didn't know why.

Stopping outside the door, a eunuch came into the hall to report, and after a few breaths, a eunuch came out of the hall.

"The lord ordered the young uncle to have an audience alone!"

He thought he went in with Liu De, but now that he had entered alone, Cao Yunhui's heart beat faster.

Walking into the main hall, the lights inside are as bright as day, but there is not a single candle in sight.

After being taken outside the west side hall, the eunuch who led the way backed away.

Cao Yunhui raised his head and took a look inside. Apart from a few eunuchs on duty, Zhao Yanxun sitting behind the desk was the most conspicuous.

I haven't seen him for three years, but my little cousin from back then is already the king of the Northwest, and his gestures are so majestic that people dare not look directly at him.

Cao Yunhui stepped into the hall carefully, at the moment Zhao Yanxun was flipping through the documents, which were about recent important events in the palace.

Originally, he wanted to get close to Condom and speak as a cousin, but at this moment, Zhao Yanxun didn't look at Cao Yunhui at all, which made him clear his identity.

"Kowtow to Your Highness!"

Zhao Yanxun did not answer, but continued to check the memorial.

The atmosphere in the hall became dignified, and Cao Yunhui's pressure increased, and even his thoughts were chaotic.

When Cao Yunhui was thinking wildly, he only heard Zhao Yanxun ask: "I remember, Zhao Weilong is the grandson of the emperor who was registered by the father, why did he want to kill the father?"

"It was Zhao Weilong who forced the emperor to make him the grandson of the emperor!"

Although his mind was a little confused, Cao Yunhui was still quick-witted, and he was well prepared in the past few days, so he was able to answer quickly.

Immediately afterwards Zhao Yanxun asked again: "The throne will definitely belong to him in the future, why does he want to threaten the emperor?"

"Just because the emperor knew that His Highness was still alive, and wanted to call His Highness back to Beijing to succeed him, Zhao Weilong colluded with treacherous ministers and killed the king to usurp the throne!"

"Father intends to pass it on to me?"

Cao Yunhui raised his head and said, "Everyone in the capital knows it!"

After two rounds of question and answer, he stabilized his train of thought and began to speculate on Zhao Yanxun's thoughts.

What do you think?Naturally, it is whether Zhao Yanxun has the intention of raising troops.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun asked again: "Brothers... were also harmed by Zhao Weilong?"

"Even the youngest prince, His Royal Highness, was also forced to leave by him and sent to the pile of monsters!"

"Not only that, the upright and upright ministers of the DPRK were also killed by him..."

The more Cao Yunhui talked, the more energetic he became, but Zhao Yanxun interrupted: "Mother concubine...is she also killed?"

Cao Yunhui replied cautiously: "When I left, my aunt was taken away. Presumably it's... more ominous!"

The emperor is dead, so he can make up stories at will, but Concubine Duan may not die, so he dare not say dead words.

"There is no king and no father, the crime is heinous... This person deserves death!" Zhao Yanxun paused every word, his anger was like a raging fire.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his fist and slammed it on the table violently.

There was a loud "bang", and the desk made of solid wood was broken on the spot, and the papers and pens on the table were scattered all over the place.

Such a horrible situation scared Cao Yunhui out of his wits and knocked his head to the floor.

Only then did he realize that Zhao Yanxun's angry appearance was so horrifying that it made one feel like facing a lion or a tiger.

Inside and outside the hall, more than a dozen eunuchs were also trembling with fright, and all of them knelt on the ground trembling like Cao Yunhui.

A long time passed, but Zhao Yanxun said hoarsely: "Huo An..."

On the ground, Huo An quickly replied: "The servant is here!"

"Send someone to worship the hall, and set up spiritual thrones for the father and mother!"

The hoarse tone can reflect Zhao Yanxun's sadness, but Cao Yunhui always finds it strange.

He couldn't figure out whether it was a script of rising up in anger or calming down.

"Yes!"

Huo An didn't dare to delay this matter, and immediately exited the hall after getting up, and conveyed the matter.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Cao Yunhui and said, "Go back first!"

What?So let yourself go back?Your King Yong's parents were murdered, so you didn't show anything else?
Although he kept complaining in his heart, Cao Yunhui knew what to do now.

"Yes!"

Watching Cao Yunhui leave, Zhao Yanxun's expression returned to calm.

Before returning to the palace, he had already understood the situation clearly, and also guessed Cao Yunhui's intention to stir people's hearts.

How to deal with it, on the way back, Zhao Yanxun had a plan.

For a long time, he has been tinkering with going out of the town and Xiguan in order to get more people to strengthen himself.

Cao Yunhui brought the news, as far as he was completely sleepy, he came to send a pillow.

The death of the emperor's father not only made his way forward unimpeded, but also gave him a reason to go east.

Punish the rebels, Yasukuni is in trouble... This reason is so good.

Although he already had some calculations in his heart, Zhao Yanxun didn't make a clear statement because he wanted to see the attitude of his subordinates.

The matter has already spread, but he wants to see what the officials under him think about "raising troops to suppress thieves".

Now the army of the Fifteenth Guards, as well as the army of the Guard Division, some are on their way to Zhenxiguan, and some have already carried out the clean-up work as planned.

So Zhao Yanxun had enough time to see the attitude of the courtiers.

After all, it is most appropriate for the ministers to persuade such things as raising troops to suppress thieves, and it is appropriate for him to make the final decision as king.

As a high-ranking person, one must cherish one's own image... Needless to say.

Getting up from the chair, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "There is news... that this king is going to guard the spirit of the late emperor!"

The leading eunuch quickly replied: "Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun left the west side hall and walked straight to the bedroom.

Since it is a wake, of course you have to change your clothes, and you have to do a full set of plays.

After he left, the eunuchs in the west side hall got up one after another, and they had to clean up the floor quickly.

And following their mouths, Zhao Yanxun was furious, and the news that he was going to guard the spirit of the late emperor also spread from the palace.

The night gradually fell, and within half an hour, the spiritual seat in the worship hall was set up.

The enshrinement official Liu Yuanhe, together with several minor officials, welcomed Zhao Yanxun, who was dressed in plain clothes, into the enshrinement hall.
