PNB Chapter 843 Entering the Beidi Palace
Chapter 843 Entering the Beidi Palace
Baili Moqing was not surprised by the edict of confession.
"Well, he can't get away with this. Even if he doesn't want to, the Queen will force him to do it."
"He didn't try to evade the imperial edict, and..."
Shu He told him everything that happened in Kyoto in detail, so that he could be mentally prepared. Because later, they had to tell Marshal Nangong about the news in Kyoto.
By the time she finished speaking, Baili Moqing had been stunned for a long time.
He really didn't expect this result. He thought Emperor Qiwen could hold on until he resolved the Four-Nation Alliance.
"Are you going back to Beijing?"
Such big news can't be concealed for long. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid Kyoto will be unable to hold on.
The big tent was completely silent, with only the faint sound of tea boiling on the charcoal stove. The aroma of tea filled the air, making one salivate.
At this time, a report came from outside the tent that Nangong Zhen's family had arrived.
Baili Moqing stood up and without waiting for them to salute, he led everyone to the big tent in Nangong Town.
The commander's tent is where battle commands are conducted. Does he have something to arrange?
Didn’t the war just end?
When Nangong Ling and Nangong Xin saw Shu He again, their eyes widened like copper bells.
Is this the "yellow-faced woman" they met in Beisha City more than half a year ago?
Are you sure these aren't two people?
Could it be that my cousin has found a new pretty lady and is pretending to be the yellow-faced woman he was originally with?
The two brothers looked at each other, but didn't dare to say a word.
They soon arrived at the commander's tent. Baili Moqing's first words made several people feel like they were struck by lightning and froze in place.
"The Emperor has passed away!"
Nangong Zhen: “What?!!”
On the night when the emperor passed away and the ninth prince forced him to abdicate, he did not even wait for Shu He and Liu Qin. He entered the palace with the Grand Tutor and the Right Prime Minister and left.
The Queen was the last person he saw, not even the Fifth Brother.
"Old Nine forced the emperor to abdicate and was beheaded by Old Five in front of the Taiqing Palace."
Nangong family: “……!!”
Such big news, how come they didn’t hear anything?
Such important news was simply hard for them to digest.
"Before he died, my father left a decree, saying that..." Having said this, he paused, his eyes filled with entanglement and struggle.
"What did the Emperor's decree say?"
Seeing that he was unable to speak, Shu He spoke for him, "The emperor left behind two edicts. One of them ordered Prince Li to inherit the throne."
"Really?!!" Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling and Nangong Xin showed ecstasy on their faces.
If my cousin becomes the emperor, will the Nangong family no longer have to guard the border? Can they return to the capital and live a peaceful and prosperous life for a few days?
Nangong Zhen and Nangong Ze were not as excited as they were, but they heard another meaning.
Nangong Ze spoke softly and asked, "What is the other edict?"
Shu He looked back at him, paused slightly, and was interrupted by Baili Moqing just as he was about to speak.
"Uncle, Tianqi is currently under siege by four nations. In order to stabilize the military morale, the news of our father's death has not yet been spread."
"What we need to do now is to break up the Four-Nation Alliance as quickly as possible, and then drive back the Beidi Army in the north, so that peace can return to the Tianqi border."
"Only then can the news of my father's death be released."
Nangong Zhen knew what he meant and understood his fears, so he immediately put the matter of the other edict behind him.
"My lord, what are you going to do?"
Nangong Ze also said: "Your Majesty, please let us know what arrangements you have. The Nangong family will do their utmost to serve you until their death!"
"Yes! We all listen to our cousin!!"
Nangong Xin was also anxious to express his opinion.
Half an hour later, the three brothers Baili Moqing, Shu He and Nangong Ze led a large number of Chengfeng troops to the north.
The army passed through the border, raising thick dust. The people of Sufeng City saw this and kept talking about it.
------
Five days later, Shu He and Baili Moqing appeared in an inn.
Not long after I sat down, the waiter came knocking on the door.
"Sir, there are two girls outside looking for you."
When Shu He opened the door, he saw Yang Rongsheng, whom he hadn't seen for many days. With Yang Rongsheng came another beautiful girl.
They looked at her with red eyes, and as soon as the door was closed, they knelt at Shu He's feet.
"What are you doing?"
Shu He quickly pulled the two of them up, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.
Why do I have to kneel every time I meet you?
"Princess, Xue Ji is able to survive thanks to your kindness. Not only did you save me, you also avenged our Qin family's blood feud..."
"Before, Xue Ji never had the chance to thank you. This time, I finally get to see you. Please accept my greeting!"
The girl next to Yang Rongsheng was called Xue Ji. She had once been a spy for the Fourth Prince's residence and had even brought out some useful information during the battle at Jingshan. Later, she was discovered by the Fourth Prince, beaten half to death, and taken to the battlefield, where she nearly lost her life.
After the Jingshan Battle, Shu He guessed that one day they would fight with Beidi, so he arranged for Yang Rongsheng to come to Beidi early on to open a branch of Xiaoxianglou and collect intelligence.
Now, it really comes in handy.
After a brief reminisce, Shu He stated the purpose of his visit.
Yang Rongsheng looked a little embarrassed, "It's very difficult to enter the Beidi Palace."
Beidi had just changed its emperor, and he ascended the throne through improper means, which had already aroused dissatisfaction from many parties; coupled with rumors about the identity of the new emperor flying all over the place, so recently there were actually many righteous people in Beidi who wanted to enter the palace to assassinate the new emperor.
"In just the first two months since ascending the throne, the palace has experienced more than ten assassination attempts! Although they all failed, this has made the palace even more heavily guarded. It's extremely difficult to sneak in."
Shu He knew that this matter was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
In fact, with Baili Moqing's strength, it was not difficult for him to enter and exit the Beidi Palace; however, he felt a powerful aura when he entered the palace!
He said that if he used his inner strength to enter the palace, he would be discovered by that person immediately.
But this time they entered the Beidi Palace to negotiate with the new emperor Shen Chuan, so they couldn't make too much noise!
Finally, they decided to use the most primitive method to get in.
It’s a pity that Yang Rong’s time in Beidi was too short, his foundation was unstable, and his influence was not deeply enough.
"If it really doesn't work, just barge in." Baili Moqing said coldly, "Although that man is powerful, I am not a pushover either. If we really fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"No, if we force our way in, we'll never be able to find Shen Chuan!"
Baili Moqing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll hold him back while you go find Shen Chuan."
Shu He still felt that it was inappropriate. After all, it was the imperial palace. If there was any commotion, she would not be able to deal with the guards in the palace.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Xue Ji, who was standing beside them, suddenly spoke up, "I might have a solution."
