Chapter 156 The prince is still here, you can rest assured, Your Majesty!

  At this time, the assassin who broke into the emperor's guard of honor suddenly at the beginning and shot arrows at the emperor's imperial chariot has also been taken down.

  However, the assassin vomited blood directly after being taken down, and died not long after. It was obvious that he had prepared a highly poisonous medicine in his mouth in advance.

"It must be a dead man raised by the people behind the scenes. He suddenly broke into His Majesty's ceremonial guard. In fact, he didn't intend to assassinate His Majesty, because they knew that assassinating His Majesty would not be able to assassinate His Majesty at all, and the reason why he came here was just to pass on this letter. Threatened to kill His Majesty."

   Zhang Gui was surprisingly calm at this moment, and began to analyze Tianqi.

   Tian Qi tightly squeezed the ball of paper in his hand, and didn't say much.

  My own son was threatened by someone as a hostage, and the condition for threatening him was to let him kill Zhang Gui, his most dependent relative.

   Tianqi knows that no matter what choice he makes now, he will lose.

  So, he doesn't want to say anything now, and he doesn't know how to say it.

   Not long after, Yu Jia quickly returned to the palace.

   At this time, outside the West Garden in the palace, many courtiers were already waiting here.

  Wei Zhongxian is also here.

  And Wei Zhongxian rushed over as soon as he saw Tianqi came back: "Your Majesty! The Empress said, His Royal Highness is gone! The slaves are being searched everywhere, and there is no news yet!"

  Tian Qi didn't even feel like blaming Wei Zhongxian now, and just asked, "What's going on?"

  Wei Zhongxian replied: "Specifically, the slaves are not very clear, and I have to ask the empress to know everything."

At this time, Han Yu came over and handed a few postings to Tian Qi: "Your Majesty, this is the posting that the courtiers found on the beams and pillars of the Thousand Steps Corridor. It said that if you want the crown prince to live, you must The words of Uncle Zhu Guo!"

  Tian Qi hurriedly took the post and took a look, his face became even uglier for a while.

   Zhang Gui couldn't help saying at this time: "It seems that I really offended them deeply."

   "Then they can't threaten you with my son!"

   Apocalypse shouted tremblingly.

   "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness may be in a desperate situation, and there are many dangers, and His Royal Highness is the country's foundation. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to put the overall situation first and order to kill the uncle of the country?!"

  Second assistant Zhu Guozuo spoke first.

  Then, Zhou Yingqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, followed suit: "Your Majesty, now it seems that we can only exchange the life of the uncle of the country for the life of the prince!"

Even Sun Chengzong had to say at this time: "Your Majesty, although Uncle Guo has made contributions to the country, compared with the country's foundation, the country's foundation is indeed more important, so now it seems that we have to kill Uncle Guo! "

  Qian Longxi stood up even more excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, please kill the uncle of the country to save the country!"

   "Your Majesty, please kill the uncle of the country to save the country!"

   "Your Majesty, please kill the uncle of the country to save the country!"

  …

  Suddenly, many civil servants who were usually dissatisfied with Zhang Gui stood up one after another, and asked Tianqi to kill Zhang Gui in the name of protecting the country.

  Zhang Gui had to admit that the trick these people played was really clever, and it could be regarded as pinpointing Tianqi's pain.

  As an emperor who values ​​family affection, and he is still the eldest son of his own, it is hard for Tian Qi not to agree.

  But Tianqi is not a stupid person, he knows the consequences of killing Zhang Gui.

   Killing Zhang Gui undoubtedly means that no one will dare to support him to continue to implement the New Deal, and even the new emperor will only be controlled by civil officials when he ascends the throne in the future.

  Tian Qi therefore suppressed his anger, and asked with a sneer: "Are you so eager to let Zhang Qing die?"

   "Your Majesty is wise! Because Uncle Zhang ruined their fortune, they wish Uncle Zhang would die!"

  Chen Zizhuang stood up and said something in a cold voice.

   "What your majesty said is that they did this. From the perspective of my ministers, these people must be the masterminds behind this despicable way to force your majesty to kill Zhang Guofu!"

  Feng Quan also stood up and said something for Zhang Gui at this time.

At this time, Qian Longxi said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are also for the sake of the country, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty said that, I really wronged the ministers and others. Even if the ministers and uncle Zhang Guo are at odds, they will not use such means." Ah, Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

   Tianqi then looked at Sun Chengzong: "Sir, what do you think?"

  Sun Chengzong glanced at Zhang Gui first, and then said: "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive the emperor, but the foundation of the country is indeed more important!"

With that said, Sun Chengzong walked towards Zhang Gui, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Guo, please forgive us for being loyal. I believe that Uncle Guo is a person who is loyal to the country, so he will not resent your majesty and the officials because of this." Bar?"

  Zhang Gui smiled lightly: "No resentment!"

   "Uncle Guo is a person who knows the general situation!"

  Sun Chengzong replied.

  Then, Qian Longxi couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Uncle Guo has already said so, please make an order, Your Majesty."

   "Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill Uncle Guo!"

   "Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill Uncle Guo!"

  …

  Many civil servants continued to shout because of this.

   Tian Qi looked at Zhang Gui: "Are we really going to lose because of this?"

  Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, let's take a look after entering the palace. I think things should not be so simple."

   Tianqi nodded: "Advanced Palace!"

   "Your Majesty! The crown prince will be more dangerous if he is in the hands of the traitor for a moment longer! How can he be so hesitant!"

  Qian Longxi shouted excitedly at this time, and said to Sun Chengzong: "Mr. Ge, as the emperor's teacher, don't you advise your majesty to make a quick decision?"

  At this moment, Zhang Gui couldn't help but asked Qian Longxi: "Do you really think that His Majesty will issue an order to kill this Marquis as soon as possible?"

Qian Longxi said righteously: "It's not Qian who wants to kill Uncle Guo, it's a traitor who wants to kill Uncle Guo! Uncle Guo is a person who knows the general situation. You should understand that what Qian said today is for justice. , not for personal enmity!"

  Zhang Guidao: "Then there is no need to be so anxious."

   As he spoke, Zhang Gui took another look at Guang Shiheng in the corner.

  Guang Shiheng stayed behind the whole time, didn't send a glance, but kept rolling his eyes.

  And Zhang Gui continued to say to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, you should go to the palace. I have to confirm whether the crown prince is really gone, so I am willing to die for it!"

   "But didn't you hear what Wei Zhongxian said just now? Your sister said that the crown prince is gone."

   Apocalypse replied.

Zhang Guidao: "Maybe the crown prince was playing around, but the empress didn't see it, and it's possible to mistakenly think that the crown prince didn't see it, but Wei Zhongxian didn't necessarily make a fuss, and then people outside made trouble, so it's not certain. "

  Tianqi saw this and said: "Forget it! I promise you."

   Not long after, Tian Qi and Zhang Gui came to Queen Zhang Yan.

  Tianqi asked as soon as he arrived: "Where is the emperor? Are you missing?!"

  Queen Zhang Yan saw Tianqi coming here, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me! The concubine deceived Eunuch Wei, and deliberately released false news to Eunuch Wei, which made this matter so big. The emperor has been around."

   Zhang Yan called out after speaking: "Fengyi, bring the prince here!"

"yes!"

   Not long after, Zhang Fengyi led the crown prince and appeared in front of Tianqi.

   Tian Qi rushed over and hugged the crown prince directly: "My son!"

   Then, Tian Qi smiled as if he found it.

   Immediately afterwards, Tianqi discovered that in the corner, there was an **** wearing a three-mountain cap tied to the ground.

   Tianqi recognized the eunuch.

   "Wang Dehua! He's a horse eunuch, how did he appear here?"
