Chapter 507: Conversation Between the Emperor and His Ministers

In the dim room.

Su Jianan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes showing a confused look.

Where is this?

Then, he felt some pain all over his body, and then his chest felt stuffy.

The uncomfortable feeling surged into his heart, and his thoughts in his mind also recovered little by little.

Memories, little by little, surged into his mind.

He suddenly glanced around.

Strange environment, this is...

Glorious room, strange bed, this is not his room.

This is...

"Come here!"

He said in a low voice.

Then, footsteps were heard outside the door of the room.

The door was slowly pushed open, and the light shone in. Su Jianan squinted slightly and saw a eunuch walking into the room.

The eunuch walked to Su Jianan's side and said respectfully: "Prime Minister Su, are you awake? How do you feel?"

"Where is this?"

Su Jianan said coldly.

The eunuch replied, "This is the Imperial Hospital. Prime Minister Su, you were unconscious before. The imperial physician has examined you. Prime Minister Su, you have been overworked recently, which has caused physical fatigue... Prime Minister Su, although state affairs are important, your health is also important! If you are tired, it will be a loss for our Dazhao!"

Imperial Hospital?

The Imperial Palace?

Su Jianan's eyes became colder and colder.

He already knew the reason why he was unconscious in the hall before.

Looking out the window, the sky was just getting bright.

Su Jianan glanced at the eunuch: "Where is the emperor?"

The eunuch's face immediately showed an ugly look, and he knelt down in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the emperor has..."

"Dead!"

Dead?

When Su Jianan heard this word again, he felt as if his head was hit hard by something again. His head was still dizzy and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He expected many results, but he didn't expect the worst result.

He had already vaguely guessed something when he got the news before the court this morning.

However, he still hadn't thought of the worst plan.

Your Majesty, how could you die?

Your Majesty...

At this moment, Su Jianan's eyes were gloomy and terrible.

He knew why His Majesty died best!

He even became an accomplice!

Thinking of this, Su Jianan felt trembling all over, his face was extremely ugly and sad.

"Your Majesty, it's the old minister who is unfaithful!"

Su Jianan's voice was trembling, he lowered his head, and his whole body was trembling.

The eunuch next to him was even more trembling, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Your Majesty's death means that the dynasty will change. The change of dynasties in the past will cause bloody storms. As servants in the palace, they don't know where their fate will go.

Immersed in the atmosphere of grief and sadness, Su Jianan burst into tears.

He assisted two generations of emperors, and Emperor Zhao almost grew up under his watch. His Majesty is ambitious and has many shortcomings. He has even ignored state affairs for many years, but he is still a good emperor and an excellent emperor.

But...

At this moment, Su Jianan seemed to realize something. His originally sad eyes showed a gloomy color. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the eunuch who was kneeling in front of him and trembling. He said coldly: "Where is the prince?"

The eunuch trembled and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness is in the front hall..."

Su Jianan lifted the quilt on his body, got out of bed, and stepped out of the room. He crossed the yard and left the Imperial Hospital.

Outside the door, the imperial guards from the palace appeared in front of Su Jianan.

"Prime Minister Su, are you going to..."

"Get out!"

Su Jianan glanced at the two coldly, and walked away. The two imperial guards did not dare to stop him. They whispered to each other and left quickly.

In the palace, the atmosphere was cold and tense.

The news of His Majesty's death had spread in the palace after the morning court today.

The whole palace was in grief.

Your Majesty, you have passed away!

No one knows what happened, but your Majesty has indeed passed away. This means that the new emperor will ascend the throne.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were uneasy, and no one dared to speak loudly. The whole palace fell into a strange silence.

Su Jianan walked along the way. White cloth had been hung in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids had changed their clothes to black and white.

Just as he approached the front hall, Su Jianan stopped.

Outside the front hall, a group of figures were kneeling. The concubines, princesses, and ministers in the palace knelt down in mourning clothes.

In the square, wailing and crying came from time to time, and some people even fainted from crying again and again.

Just in front of the front hall, a figure was kneeling.

The figure was dressed in black plain clothes, wearing hemp and mourning, and knelt straight in front of the hall.

It was Zhao Jing!

Su Jianan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

At this time, the ministers behind also discovered Su Jianan's figure.

"Prime Minister Su?!"

"Prime Minister Su is here!"

For a moment, the ministers behind were in an uproar.

"Prime Minister Su, you came at the right time!"

A minister came to Su Jianan, his eyes red, clenched his teeth: "Prime Minister Su, there must be something strange about His Majesty's death!"

"I don't believe it, why did those three Taoist priests dare to murder His Majesty, there must be something hidden!"

"I suspect that someone secretly just, deliberately murdered His Majesty... Prime Minister Su, you must find out the truth!"

"Yes, we are all waiting for you to do justice!"

"..."

Su Jianan's eyes swept over them one by one. The ministers who spoke were all old ministers in the palace, loyal to His Majesty Da Zhaohe.

They had followed His Majesty for more than ten years and were the most loyal to Him.

They were not fools and could not be fooled so easily.

Why His Majesty was assassinated for no reason, everyone realized that something was wrong.

There must be a conspiracy.

Even many people have guessed some of the truth.

However, no one dared to say it for the time being.

But, this does not mean that the truth will be covered up!

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Su.

His Majesty has passed away now, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne. Now among the civil and military officials in the court, Prime Minister Su has the highest prestige.

His words can decide life and death!

Su Jianan's eyes swept over everyone's faces without saying a word.

Silence, gloomy face, cold eyes, interpret his inner feelings.

He looked up at the kneeling figure in front of the hall, silent.

Everyone followed Su Xiang's gaze, and after a moment, everyone was shocked, and even held their breath.

Then, Su Jianan changed into the mourning clothes handed to him by the eunuch next to him, tidied his clothes, and walked towards the main hall step by step.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Everyone's eyes fell on Su Xiang, watching him walk step by step to the main hall.

Then, he slowly knelt down and kowtowed in front of the main hall!

Everyone was silent!

The square also fell into silence at this moment.

His Majesty has passed away!

The news came from the eunuchs in the palace.

His Majesty was assassinated by the three most trusted Taoist priests, and was seriously injured in the secret room. He activated the self-destruction program of the secret room and died with the three Taoist priests.

It seems that there is no flaw in the cause of death, and it is even reasonable.

But underneath everything, it is full of flaws.

The three Taoist priests were named old immortals by His Majesty and have a very high status. Why did they assassinate His Majesty?

Why did His Majesty enter the secret room, and why did he die with the three Taoist priests?

Also, why was the imperial guards in the palace replaced?

Even...

Many people dared not think further. Some people had guessed something, and some people had already determined the answer.

However, all this was destroyed with the destruction of the secret room, and there was no evidence.

The location of the secret room built by His Majesty was extremely hidden. Apart from His Majesty, almost no one in the world knew where the secret room was.

With the destruction of the secret room, let alone finding the location of the secret room, even if it was found, I am afraid that even His Majesty’s body would not be seen.

Destroy the body and destroy the traces!

What a cruel method!

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and then the panic gradually spread.

...

The silent square, without a sound.

Those concubines who were crying had stopped crying long ago.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the two figures in front of the hall.

Su Jianan, Zhao Jing!

For now, the two most powerful people in the palace.

As a veteran of two dynasties, Prime Minister Su undoubtedly has great influence and prestige.

And for Zhao Jing, no matter what, His Majesty's death, he is now the well-deserved new emperor. Even if the coronation ceremony has not yet been completed, he is already worthy of the title.

However, at this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on the two.

Everyone realizes that things may not be that simple.

Finally, Su Jianan stood up!

He glanced at the hall in front, where His Majesty's coffin was placed!

According to the tradition of Dazhao, when the previous emperor dies, a mourning hall should be set up for seven days, and the ministers mourn and announce it to the world.

Su Jianan slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Zhao Jing.

At this moment, Zhao Jing also slowly raised his head and met Su Jianan's eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Jing's eyes were full of grief. It seemed that the death of his father was an indelible painful emotion for him.

However, Su Jianan was very calm.

His eyes were calm and even a little scary, he stared at Zhao Jing.

After a moment, he spoke.

"I have something to tell you!"

After that, Su Jianan turned around and left!

Step by step, he left the hall.

Behind him, Zhao Jing seemed silent.

After Su Jianan's figure disappeared, he finally stood up slowly from the ground.

He knelt for too long, so that his head was a little congested at this moment!

"Your Highness..."

Not finished, refresh later

At this time, the ministers behind also discovered Su Jianan's figure.

"Su Xiang?!"

"Su Xiang is here!"

For a moment, the ministers behind were in a commotion.

"Prime Minister Su, you're here just in time!"

A minister came to Su Jianan, his eyes red, clenching his teeth: "Prime Minister Su, there must be something fishy about His Majesty's death!"

"I don't believe it, why did those three Taoist priests dare to murder His Majesty, there must be something hidden!"

"I suspect that someone secretly just, deliberately murdered His Majesty... Prime Minister Su, you must find out the truth!"

"Yes, we are all waiting for you to do justice!"

"..."

Su Jianan's eyes swept over them one by one. The ministers who spoke were all old ministers in the palace, loyal to His Majesty Da Zhaohe.

They have followed His Majesty for more than ten years, and are the most loyal than His Majesty.

They are not fools, and it is impossible to be fooled so easily.

Why His Majesty was assassinated for no reason, everyone realized that something was wrong.

There must be a conspiracy.

In fact, many people have guessed some of the truth.

However, no one dared to say it out yet.

But, this does not mean that the truth will be covered up!

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Su.

His Majesty has passed away, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne. Now among all the civil and military officials in the court, Prime Minister Su has the highest prestige.

His words can decide life and death!

Su Jianan swept his eyes across everyone's faces without saying a word.

Silence, gloomy face, cold eyes, interpret his inner feelings.

He looked up at the kneeling figure in front of the hall, silent.

Everyone followed Prime Minister Su's gaze, and after a moment, everyone was shocked, and even held their breath.
