"Who exactly are the three major camps listening to right now? Eunuch Qiu, if this problem is not solved, the capital will really be in chaos!"

Chen Guanfu stared at the military power and wouldn't let go.

What government affairs, what Imperial Princes, who supervises the country, who inherits the throne, he doesn't care about any of it. He just stared at the military power and stared at the movements of the government soldiers.

His actions gave a reminder to several other nobles.

Yes, what supervising the country, what inheriting the throne, right now saying these things is not very practical. After all, the old Emperor is not dead yet. Even if he died, the civil officials would definitely have their own demands, and there would be plenty of time to argue in the future.

What is most important right now?

Military power is most important!

Several nobles got the reminder and joined the ranks of questioning one after another.

Qiu Defu had sweat on his forehead for a time, and his heart felt empty.

"If Eunuch Qiu cannot explain clearly, then we have reason to suspect that the matter of transferring troops into the capital is questionable. Li Xiang, Prime Minister Yu, I don't know what charter the two of you have?"

Li Liangcheng was silent for a moment and nodded, "It should be explained clearly about transferring troops. The three major camps causing chaos and fighting in the capital is simply absurd. It would be fine if His Majesty woke up, but now His Majesty is in a coma, and who should command the three major camps has become an urgent matter that needs to be solved."

Just at this time, the small eunuch was ordered to take the military talisman and the edict.

The officials checked it, and it was all real. It was indeed the old Emperor's handwriting. The old Emperor had long made emergency preparations; once the capital appeared abnormal, the three major camps would immediately transfer troops into the capital to seal the capital. As for what to do next, the edict didn't say.

Why the three major camps would fight, the ghosts and tricks inside, the officials stared at Qiu Defu together.

Qiu Defu broke out in cold sweat, "I don't know about this matter. Why don't you summon the commanders of the three major camps into the palace to ask?"

"Even Eunuch Qiu doesn't know; could it be that His Majesty arranged for someone else to be responsible for commanding the three major camps?" Chen Guanfu smiled, seemingly having a grudge against Qiu Defu, "Outside, it is rumored that the three major camps fighting is because an Imperial Prince participated in it."

"These words cannot be said nonsense!" Li Xiang spoke first.

"This old slave doesn't know what Young Master Chen is talking about." Qiu Defu suddenly stood up, appearing particularly confident.

"Even the faces of Li Xiang, Prime Minister Yu, and Duke Zhang, the three major camps don't give, and they refuse to obey the court's order to leave the capital. I, this Young Master, suspecting a little is not excessive." Chen Guanfu smiled softly, "The two Prime Ministers, do you really believe the three major camps are acting on their own? They not only fight but also blocked the Imperial Palace, and now everyone is blocked in the Imperial Palace, only able to enter and not leave; this is not a good phenomenon."

Don't these officials want to leave the palace?

They want to die.

There are still a bunch of things to deal with and make arrangements for. But they have been blocked in the palace for several days and can't get out.

The three major camps surrounded the Imperial Palace and occupied the territory, during which several fights occurred.

As for the food of the three major camps, the old Emperor had long made arrangements, and there was food and grass supply. Even if blocked for a month, there is no need to worry about a mutiny due to lack of food and grass.

"If the three major camps are not solved, we discuss here, even if we say a flower, it is useless. Everyone, am I right?"

"Young Master Chen's words make sense. The most critical thing right now is to solve the three major camps; we must make the three major camps obey orders to withdraw from the capital and return to the military camp. Guarding the Imperial Palace, what kind of system is that." Finally, an official publicly expressed support for Chen Guanfu's statement.

Everyone looked at Qiu Defu.

The other party is the confidant around the old Emperor, and the old Emperor must have given instructions.

Qiu Defu cried with a sad face, "Everyone, don't catch me and make things difficult. For this matter of the three major camps, I suggest you have a good chat with them; you will definitely be able to find a solution. Counting on me, it is definitely not possible."

"Did His Majesty not leave any words beforehand?"

"No. No one expected that the sacrificial altar would explode and His Majesty would fall into a coma."

"Why did His Majesty fall into a coma, when will he wake up, what exactly did the physician say?"

"The physician said there is blood stasis in His Majesty's brain, and I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while."

"I see clearly that the medicine offered by the Jixia Academy has a problem." Someone muttered.

Yu Zhaoan looked fiercely at the official who spoke; he came from the Jixia Academy. He snorted coldly, "Whether the medicine offered by the Jixia Academy has a problem, it is not up to us to say. Also, don't climb and bite people randomly."

"Prime Minister Yu comes from the Jixia Academy, naturally speaking for the Jixia Academy."

"Not so! If you have evidence to prove that the medicine offered by the Jixia Academy caused His Majesty to fall into a coma, I admit it! If there is no evidence, shut up."

"Alright, don't argue first. It was said before, grab the big and let go of the small, don't waste time on trivial details. Let's talk about the three major camps. And if His Majesty doesn't wake up, there must be a charter." Li Xiang came forward to maintain order, and everyone still had to listen to his words.

He is the Left Prime Minister, the Chief Grand Secretary of the court, and the head of all officials.

If you don't give face to the head of all officials, do you want to rebel?

"Li Xiang's meaning is, which Imperial Prince will inherit the throne, right?"

"Who else could it be, inheriting the throne only has the Prince of Loyalty."

"The Prince of Loyalty was deposed, which means he lost the qualification to inherit the throne."

"I don't admit it! The matter of the deposed Crown Prince is simply nonsense. It is clearly His Majesty who got mental illness and played the piano randomly; this official firmly does not admit it. In short, among the Imperial Princes, only the Prince of Loyalty has the qualification to inherit the throne. This is orthodoxy. Everyone, ask yourselves, does the Prince of Loyalty really not have the qualification? If he doesn't have the qualification, among the Imperial Princes outside the palace gate, who has the qualification?"

"This matter is a chaotic account, and it can't be argued clearly for a while. Moreover, His Majesty may not necessarily not wake up. We discuss here, it is purely superfluous. The most urgent thing right now is still the three major camps. We must stop the three major camps from causing chaos, we must find a way to make the three major camps roll out of the capital, and we absolutely do not allow them to harm the capital. These soldier ruffians, they caused chaos once last year, tasted the sweetness, and came again this year. How unreasonable!"

"How about this, first send people to try to communicate and contact the three major camps, and test their attitude. The Government Affairs Hall also issued a formal official document to see the situation."

"Who is suitable to send?"

For a time, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Guanfu.

Chen Guanfu raised his eyebrows and smiled, standing out without letting anyone else, "Thanks to the Lords for looking up to me, I will try to contact them. Hope it works. However, this matter is afraid that it still needs Eunuch Qiu's help. Hope Eunuch Qiu will not be stingy with advice."

Qiu Defu cursed in his heart, how did this matter turn back to him again. Right now, it is not good to refuse, so he can only bite the bullet and agree. In his heart, he cursed Chen Guanfu a hundred times, a hundred times.

There is no time to lose, the two took the official document and set off immediately, taking a carriage to the outside of the palace.

As soon as Chen Guanfu got on the carriage, he smiled at Qiu Defu, "Eunuch Qiu is good!"

"Good what good! You kid calculated against me, what are you thinking? I already said, this matter has nothing to do with me, His Majesty didn't leave any words."

"Eunuch Qiu, isn't it very stuffy in the palace? There are many people and eyes, and you can't even find a place to talk. Now it's good, finally can chat with Eunuch Qiu privately."
