Chapter 693 Entering the Palace
Chapter 693 Entering the Palace
"General, do you mean that the previous team was arranged by the Eighth Sage King himself? The deputy general was shocked.
But after he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was very likely!
Because he personally led the team to kill the Eight Wise Kings!
At the beginning, it seemed that those people really didn't intend to kill the Eighth Wise King!
"Haha, I guess the Eighth Wise King is ready for battle now!"
"We have to be prepared too!"
General Feng laughed coldly.
"General, do we really have to fight the Eighth Sage King head-on?"
"Now that His Majesty has doubts about us, it would not be wise for us to apply for the job from the Eighth Sage King at this time!"
"If all our men are killed, it will be hard to find elite soldiers willing to follow us!"
The deputy general looked worried.
But General Feng said with a smile: "Haha, this is nothing, just some small things!"
"We are destined to be no match for the Eighth Wise King, and our Emperor will not trust us and allow us to fight the Eighth Wise King!"
"So, once the battle begins, we only need to symbolically fight the Eighth Wise King, and then ask for help!"
"It's even possible that we don't even need to do anything, and His Majesty the Emperor will send reinforcements to help us!"
"The general is wise!"
After hearing what the Eighth Wise King said, the deputy general also reacted!
Indeed, it is impossible for Emperor Dajing to absolutely trust them!
Therefore, the battle between them is destined not to result in too many casualties!
Three days later, in the capital.
The news that the Eighth Wise King was attacked on his way to the capital spread to the capital.
Jiang Chen knew about this matter at the first moment!
……
"Haha, what a great Eighth Wise King, he actually directed and acted in such a play himself!"
"It seems that this Eighth Wise King knows how to have fun!"
Jiang Chen smiled coldly.
He could naturally see that this was all directed and acted by the Eighth Wise King himself.
But Li Yan, who was sitting next to Jiang Chen, had a different opinion when he heard this.
"My Lord, I feel this matter is not simple!"
"Oh? What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
"My Lord, if the Eighth Sage King was only directing and acting in the play himself, he would not have arranged two teams!"
"Now, the news circulating in the capital city says that the Eighth Sage King encountered an assassination attempt by two groups of people."
"I think this should be the Eighth Wise King conveying a message to the outside world, which is... there are other people who don't want him to come to Beijing either!" Li Yan explained.
"So, what you mean is that... the Eighth Sage King is euphemistically telling our Emperor that someone specifically wants the two of them to go to war!"
"Is he trying to persuade our Emperor not to become a pawn in the hands of others?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"My Lord, this should be the case."
"This Eighth Sage King is very cunning. He must have a lot on his mind."
"So...we must be extremely careful!"
Li Yan said with a serious expression.
"Well, your analysis is reasonable, but I don't know what our Emperor would think!"
Jiang Chen felt that what Li Yan said made sense and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Xu Meng walked in with Eunuch Hou.
"My Lord! Someone is coming to the palace!"
"kindness!?"
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this.
However, after seeing that the person coming was his old acquaintance Eunuch Hou, Jiang Chen felt relieved!
……
"Eunuch Hou!"
"Lord Jiang, you are polite!"
Jiang Chen and Eunuch Hou exchanged polite words, and then, under Jiang Chen's guidance, Eunuch Hou told him the purpose of his trip.
Emperor Dajing summoned Jiang Chen into the palace!
Also summoned along with Jiang Chen were Eunuch Zhang and Cai Jing!
When Jiang Chen heard this, he had some guesses in his mind.
I guess this is what Emperor Dajing wants to discuss with the Eight Wise Kings!
Jiang Chen followed Eunuch Hou into the palace.
When Jiang Chen arrived, Eunuch Zhang and Cai Jing had already arrived.
"I have met His Majesty!"
After Jiang Chen met Emperor Dajing, he saluted respectfully.
"Well, Lord Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. I called you here today because I have something to discuss with the three of you, Lords."
Emperor Dajing said calmly.
But when Emperor Dajing said this, Cai Jing and Eunuch Zhang were both shocked!
What status do these two have!
In the Dajing court, it can be said that they are second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
How could Jiang Chen possibly compare to the two of them!?
But now, looking at what Emperor Dajing said, it is obvious that he puts the three of them on the same level!
Could it be that Emperor Dajing trusts and values Jiang Chen so much! ?
Emperor Dajing did not notice the two people's shock, or rather, he did not want to care what they thought.
After the Emperor of Dajing slowly exhaled, he said, "My three beloved ministers, you should also know that the Eighth Sage King was ambushed on his way to the capital, and I'm afraid he can't come to the capital now!"
"But I think this matter is not that simple. The Eighth Sage King must be looking for trouble in secret and doesn't want to come to the capital!"
"How do you think we should deal with the Eighth Sage King, who has no respect for the ruler or his subjects?"
……
"Your Majesty! I think that your Majesty's actions are disrespectful to the emperor and father! I suggest that your Majesty send troops to conquer the Eighth Wise King!"
Eunuch Zhang was the first to speak up!
Because Eunuch Zhang knew in his heart that Emperor Dajing had long wanted to take action against the Eighth Wise Kings, but he just had no reason!
Now, Emperor Dajing summoned the Eight Wise Kings to the capital, and he also wanted to take action against the Eight Wise Kings!
Therefore, since the Eighth Wise Kings are not coming now, they have a chance to take action!
But when Cai Jing heard what Eunuch Zhang said, he had a different opinion!
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Zhang said is inappropriate!"
"Oh? What do you think, Mr. Cai?"
Emperor Dajing asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Sage King is the Emperor's uncle after all. If we attack him now without a solid reason, I'm afraid it would be against the moral high ground!"
"If it affects your majesty's reputation, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate!"
"Therefore, I suggest that you should not take action against the Eighth Sage King for the time being!"
What Cai Jing said is well-founded!
But Eunuch Zhang laughed coldly and said, "Haha, Lord Cai, the Eighth Sage Prince did not come to the capital to participate in the sacrificial ceremony for the late emperor, which shows that he has no respect for his emperor and father. Isn't this reason enough?"
Cai Jing did not give in at all: "Master Zhang, the Eighth Sage Prince was ambushed and injured!"
"He has his own reasons!"
"Haha, is there a reason?"
"What kind of reason is this? Who knows if that person was arranged by the Eighth Wise King himself?" Eunuch Zhang laughed coldly.
"you……?"
Cai Jing and Eunuch Zhang were at loggerheads with each other.
"enough!"
Emperor Dajing already had enough headaches.
Seeing their appearance now, it is even more painful!
