Chapter 949: Shocked at the Imperial Mausoleum

~8 min read 1,520 words

"Human power is ultimately unable to overcome heaven!"

Upon learning the news of the old lady's passing, Marquis Pingjiang sighed. On the surface, he looked very calm, having already made all preparations, without sorrow or anger, without wind or rain.

Chen Guanlou told him: "The person sent by the Hou Fu should be on the way. On the imperial court side, if there are no accidents, they will also send people over. Is the eldest master preparing to wait until the people are all here before writing the memorial?"

"I will definitely write it. As for when to write it, we'll see. With the old lady gone, the Hou Fu will have to be quiet for two or three years. However, before it becomes quiet, some things that should be done must be done in advance, and what should be prepared should be prepared."

Marquis Pingjiang said with deep meaning.

Chen Guanlou asked: "What do you need me to do?"

"Let you lead the troops, can you do it?"

"Don't joke. Let me run an errand, that's fine; let me lead the troops, you old man, hurry up and dispel this unrealistic idea. I am just someone who lives a muddled life waiting for death, don't look up to me."

"Hahaha... you have insufficient cognition of yourself! Forget it, I won't force you. These few days, you stay in the military camp, and I will give you a token to facilitate your entry and exit."

"I don't need a token to enter and exit at will."

"That's different! The old lady passed away, and they didn't see you at the Hou Fu; they will panic. It's better to let people know you are with me, so that some people will be afraid to throw the rat-avoiding weapon. Remember, my safety is all entrusted to you."

"This is not right! Why is your safety entrusted to me?" Chen Guanlou held the token, full of doubts.

"Because there will be several assassinations later!" The eldest master said very affirmatively.

Chen Guanlou:...

He was dumbfounded and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Eldest master, are you self-directing and self-acting, finding people to assassinate yourself?"

"Absurd! Stop talking nonsense. Does this Marquis need to find people to act? The people in the world who want to kill this Marquis are like crucian carp crossing the river. Forget it, you don't understand, just remember that my safety is all on you."

Chen Guanlou was a bit panicked.

He had a hunch that the eldest master was playing a big game of chess.

Unfortunately, he had also become a chess piece on the chessboard.

He asked in a low voice: "Are you going to rebel?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Marquis Pingjiang blew his beard and stared. "They all say you are successful because of this mouth, and defeated because of this mouth; it's really true. In my opinion, you are not suitable for speaking; being a mute is quite good."

A pack of lies.

Chen Guanlou gave two hehe laughs, expressing his disdain.

"If you don't rebel, why are you making such a big battle?"

"This is called a game of strategy; don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Power, wealth, and safety are not obtained through charity, but through repeated contests and maneuvering. Dealing with the Emperor is exactly the same!"

Marquis Pingjiang was unwilling to say more, and refused to reveal any inside information.

Not two days later, while the imperial court's envoy was still on the road, he knew what the eldest master had done.

A strange army suddenly appeared at the Imperial Mausoleum, killing by surprise and leaving the Imperial Mausoleum guards who guarded the Imperial Mausoleum without a single piece of armor left. For the first time in three hundred years, the Great Gan Dynasty's Imperial Mausoleum suffered a disturbance.

The imperial court was shocked!

The world was shocked!

Emperor Jian Shi's face was even more gray and white; he had become an unfilial son, a sinner of the Great Gan Dynasty. Under his rule, the Imperial Mausoleum was actually disturbed; he had no face to face his ancestors!

Once the news came out, Prince Chu's side instantly stood up again.

Spreading rumors, saying that Emperor Jian Shi obtained the throne improperly, killed his brother and father; this is heaven's retribution!

Heaven could not bear to see it, and only then would the three-hundred-year-old Great Gan Dynasty have this calamity.

In the bright and clear world, they couldn't even guard the ancestral mausoleum, letting people disturb it. Incompetent! Such a Son of Heaven, he is not worthy!

Please ask Emperor Jian Shi to abdicate!

For a time, from the north to the south, everyone was clamoring that Emperor Jian Shi obtained the throne improperly, and the call for abdication was heard.

The Imperial Mausoleum suffered a disturbance, and inside and outside the imperial court, the whole world was in turmoil. Emperor Jian Shi also received a great stimulus, stopping the morning court for several days in a row. Whoever asked to see him, he would not see them, and they would all be rolled out.

He was alone in the Taiji Palace, wandering around all day, like a lonely ghost. He did not summon concubines to serve, nor did he see court officials, but instead beat more than a dozen palace servants to death in anger.

So much so that the entire Taiji Palace, from top to bottom, everyone was in danger.

It seemed as if he had returned to the period of the late emperor, and corpses had to be carried out every day.

This is great terror!

The court officials saw the emperor's ghostly appearance and were secretly pondering: compared to the late emperor, this endurance is really far behind.

If it were the late emperor who encountered the Imperial Mausoleum being disturbed, anger was certain, and killing was certain, but he would never hide and not see people, and would never say nothing, like a lonely ghost.

At least give an order, give an attitude, so that everyone can do things!

Not seeing people, and no orders issued, what does it mean?

Let the political affairs hall decide for itself, without the emperor's approval?

If you had done this earlier, that would be fine.

This time, it's too late!

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat!" Wang De endured the great terror and served carefully.

Emperor Jian Shi had disheveled hair, hadn't shaved for several days, hadn't washed or rinsed properly, and the whole person looked sloppy, with messy hair and beard, without any majesty and decency of an emperor.

Shameful!

"Is there still no news?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei has already taken people to the Imperial Mausoleum to investigate. However..."

"However what?"

"Although Eunuch Wei is a grandmaster and has great ability, he is not good at investigating cases after all. Those thieves, it is said that they come and go like the wind, and there is no news sent back for the time being."

"Incompetent! Incompetent!" Emperor Jian Shi clamored crazily, extremely dissatisfied. "It's been several days since the incident, what has Wei Wubing been doing? He is a grandmaster, a dignified grandmaster who is actually at a loss; what use do I have for him."

"Your Majesty, the lords of the political affairs hall are asking to see you outside. Why don't you summon a few lords in. I think they will have a way."

"Don't see, don't see! What face do I have to see them. Now, I have become a laughingstock of the world; let them in, are you trying to let them see my jokes?"

"Your Majesty, calm your anger, heaven and earth can testify, the servant has absolutely no such intention. If the servant had half a heart of disloyalty, let the servant be struck by lightning and die!" Wang De knelt on the ground, swearing, tears and snot coming out.

He was truly terrified!

Emperor Jian Shi killing people was truly killing, not a joke.

Even if he was a close eunuch, it was hard to guarantee that he would not become a tool for venting anger.

Emperor Jian Shi looked at him with great disdain and hummed coldly.

Wang De hurriedly wiped his snot and tears. "Your Majesty, please use some. Your Majesty hasn't eaten or drunk for a day, and your body can't stand it! Why don't you invite Lord Xie in. With him here, no matter how difficult the matter is, it can be solved."

Emperor Jian Shi was in a trance, dizzy.

"Is it really heaven's retribution?"

"Of course not!" Wang De said sonorously. "Your Majesty is heaven's mandate!"

Emperor Jian Shi flicked his hand and tucked his messy hair behind his ears. "You are right, I am heaven's mandate! The Imperial Mausoleum was disturbed, even if I have faults, it is not enough to die! Summon Lord Xie to see me! Serve me to change clothes!"

Wang De saw Emperor Jian Shi cheer up, overjoyed, excited and trembling all over, and responded loudly: "Yes!"

The life was saved! ===== CHAPTER 950 =====
