"This is...the Emperor's Bell in front of the Zhengde Hall?"

"How many times did it ring?"

"Second Master, it's five bells!"

"clang!"

As the sixth bell rang, Ning Fan's face was full of solemnity. There was a bell and drum tower in King Yu's city, with morning bells and evening drums!

And every morning during the morning dynasty, the ringing of the Taihuang Bell in front of the Zhengde Hall also announces the start of the morning dynasty!

But when encountering some changes, such as the death of the emperor, the death of a prince, or someone rebelling and launching a palace coup, etc., this big bell will be rung. Moreover, according to Dayu's laws, there are strict regulations on how many times the bell should ring!

For example, every morning in the morning, the bell rings once, when a royal prince dies, the bell rings three times, and when a royal heavyweight, such as the Queen or the Queen Mother, dies, the bell rings six times!

If the emperor dies, or someone rebels against the palace, or even launches a national war, the bell will ring nine times!

Now, the bell has stopped ringing six times!

According to the laws of Dayu, all Beijing officials above the fifth rank must enter the palace with a stick of incense after hearing the six bells!

"How could..."

"The Queen Mother has passed away long ago, but the Queen is not sick or suffering from any disaster..."

"Is it possible that one of the princes died?"

Lin Yong frowned on the side, it didn’t seem right!

"Uncle Lin, you have forgotten that according to the laws of Dayu, you can ring the Taihuang Bell if you rush to the border eight hundred miles away, or if you hold a gold medal given by His Majesty!"

"Your Highness means..."

"It should be news from the East Territory!"

Ning Fan's eyes flickered as he watched Dian Wei take down all the men in black, and said calmly: "Hand these people over to the Jin Yiwei for interrogation overnight!"

"Your Highness!"

"They are all dead soldiers, with poison sacs hidden between their teeth!"

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, I wouldn't have been able to save even one person alive!"

Dian Wei also had a look of solemnity on his face and spoke in a deep voice.

"Haha, whether it's a dead soldier or an assassin, let the Jin Yiwei pry their mouths open!"

"All the guards in the house who died in battle will be compensated and given more silver coins!"

"yes!"

Lin Yong nodded heavily, looked at Ning Fan and said: "Second Master, if you want to enter the palace, you'd better bring the warrior with you!"

"No need, Dian Wei will go and hand over the living body and the corpses of these people to Jin Yiwei in person!"

"There is no need to worry about my king's safety!"

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he mounted the Purple Lightning Flying Dragon and ran towards the outside of the palace.

"My lord!"

In a dark alley, Zhuan Zhu's figure quietly appeared in front of Ning Fan, kneeling on one knee and bowing respectfully!

"You know everything about tonight, right?"

"My subordinates are late, please punish me, Lord!"

"There is no need for punishment now. Find out the identities of these people and who is behind the scenes!"

"promise!"

Ning Fan patted his horse and walked out of the dark alley, and Zhuan Zhu escorted him all the way outside the palace city before gradually disappearing into the darkness.

…

Royal study room!

Emperor Yu sat here for half the night, not sleeping for a long time, reading the memorial back and forth.

If it is true as Ning Fan said, the dust will settle in the East Territory tonight, and a battle report will reach Beijing.

But whether it will be a victory or a defeat... is yet to be determined!

Time passed slowly, and Emperor Yu dismissed the concubine's urging and fell asleep on the table.

As the bells rang one after another, Emperor Yu's whole body was aroused. He quickly stood up, put on his robe and walked towards the outside of the palace. The majestic voice came out of the hall.

"Wei Ying, who rang the Taihuang Bell?"

"Your Majesty, I am so happy!"

I saw Wei Ying staggering over and said with a face of surprise: "Great victory in the East. The three princes defeated the main army of Donghuai in one fell swoop and wiped out more than 100,000 enemies!"

"What!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"OK!"

Emperor Yu looked startled for a moment, then laughed loudly. Jing Li led the scouts who reported the victory to come forward to see him, and respectfully handed over the victory report!

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo asked the last general to tell your Majesty personally that in this battle, I, Dayu, captured the retreat of the 300,000 Donghuai army. Three armies encircled and annihilated 170,000 enemies!"

"Now, Donghuai's army has been defeated one after another, and our army is expanding its results!"

"His Royal Highness King Xuan Yong's royal guards should take the lead in this battle!"

Emperor Yu listened to the scout's impassioned remarks, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face and nodded frequently!

"good!"

"I understand, you should go down and rest too!"

"When the three national masters return to the court, I will discuss their merits and reward them!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jing Li on the side also looked happy, and Wei Ying reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's bell is ringing now, and all the civil and military ministers have entered the palace and are waiting in the Zhengde Hall!"

"Show off, Zhengde Hall!"

…

Above the main hall, civil and military officials stood solemnly.

Emperor Yu spread the news to the civil and military officials, which immediately caused an uproar!

"Haha, you are worthy of being the Duke of Zhenguo. Now with this battle, I, Dayu, will have another unparalleled war god!"

"Old Duke Zhao is planning the strategy and is truly an unparalleled general!"

"Looking at the military generals of my Dayu, I am afraid that only the military god Jing Guo Gong and His Highness Prince Sheng can compare with me!"

All the courtiers were generous with their praises. Emperor Yu was sitting at the top, the smile on his lips never disappearing for a moment. The Eastern Territory has always been a worry for him. Now that the Eastern Territory is stable, the big stone in his heart has finally fallen.

!

"Ahem!"

Emperor Yu coughed lightly, and all the ministers stood in awe, and the hall gradually became quiet!

"The result of this battle in the east is a great victory that I, Dayu, have never had before!"

"King Xuan Yong should take the lead!"

As soon as Emperor Yu finished speaking, all the officials looked stunned and looked at Ning Fan in surprise.

"Your Majesty, there is a great victory in the east. What's wrong with King Guan Xuanyong?"

"Is it possible that King Xuan Yong went to the battlefield in the East and failed?"

"You should take the first credit... Your Majesty, this statement is a bit too much!"

All the courtiers looked dissatisfied, while Lin Qiushi and other important ministers looked at Ning Fan with complex expressions. They all knew the inside story. I am afraid that after today, King Xuanyong's weight in His Majesty's heart will be second only to Ning Fan.

Your Highness King Sheng!

"Hmph!" Emperor Yu listened to the criticisms of the courtiers and said calmly: "If King Xuan Yong's royal guards had not conveyed the military information, my Huainan City would have been lost by now, and my main army of 200,000 people would have been lost.

Already in trouble!"

"What?"

"Jin Yiwei conveying military information?"

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at Ning Fan in surprise. The Jin Yiwei had only been established for a few days, could it be that he already had such energy?

"I congratulate Your Majesty, I, Prince Dayu, am like a dragon!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

All the courtiers changed the subject and flattered Emperor Yu. Ning Fan stood in front of the palace and remained silent.

"King Xuanyong, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Replying to my father, I don't need rewards. This is my duty and responsibility!"

Ning Fan spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing tone. Ji Sui, Minister of War, had a look of admiration on his face and looked at Ning Fan with admiration on his face.

"Blood stains?"

"Your Highness, why are there blood stains on your body?"

An exclamation suddenly resounded throughout the hall. At this moment, the entire court fell silent, and their eyes focused on Ning Fan.
