As soon as King Li said this, everyone present fell silent. They understood that what King Li said was probably true.

The little emperor was a little lost. He did not speak anymore, but staggered away, obviously not wanting to talk any more.

"Your Majesty."

"Gentlemen, why don't you let Your Majesty be quiet for now." The chamberlain beside Emperor Ming Zhang was quite clever and said quickly.

Several people looked at each other, didn't say anything, and left one after another.

Several people who were originally attached to Li Shengxi couldn't help but walk to Pei Diancheng's side, as if they didn't know what to do next.

Pei Diancheng looked unclear, but carefully reminded: "During this period, everyone must be extremely careful in everything, and there must be no mistakes."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, knowing that the matter might be much more complicated than they imagined. When they heard Pei Diancheng's advice, they kept it in mind.

Regardless of whether Li Shengqi is dead or not, it is not a good sign for those former members of King Ning at this time.

He didn't know the little emperor, King Li might take the opportunity at this time to ask the little emperor to replace them.

Even the King of Li could help the young emperor take charge of the throne in advance at this time.

And Li Shengxi's "death" is the best excuse.

Emperor Ming Zhang loved his aunt so much, but now that his most beloved aunt has died, he must be extremely sad.

And if anyone makes a mistake at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Sure enough, the sound of musical instruments appeared in an official's home and was heard. After reporting it to the young emperor, the young emperor immediately became furious and took away the official's official position because "my aunt's life and death are uncertain, but you still have the heart to play music."

Regardless of the content of the music and whether it is played in an official's house.

Some officials were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned because they accidentally wore a white pair. The emperor thought that Li Sheng was cursed and attacked to death, even though the clothes they were wearing were not coarse linen clothes at all.

There were also those who looked happy, those who behaved frivolously, and those who dressed up gorgeously, all of whom were implicated and held accountable.

Suddenly, people in the palace and city were panicked.

Pei Diancheng was afraid that this would burn him. He originally wanted to claim his illness directly, but said that he was worried about Li Sheng's attack, so as not to be implicated.

However, he found several strange memorials among the memorials of Shangshu Province.

The content of the memorial is that the number of caravans coming from the southwest has obviously increased, and the people in these caravans all have stern expressions, not like ordinary merchants.

Another memorial also related to the caravan, but it did not mean that the caravan was abnormal, but that a person was found in the caravan, who looked a bit like Prince Ning.

The remaining memorials were also related to the caravan. Pei Diancheng was startled and seemed to understand something.

He immediately took down these memorials, wrapped them in oil paper, and secretly buried them under the pond in the mansion. Then he silently wrote down the names of the people who submitted the memorials.

But in this way, he couldn't claim to be sick, but had to cover Li Sheng's attack.

Pei Diancheng continued to take up his post with excitement and apprehension.

He was always cautious, and for the time being, the little emperor didn't get anything wrong.

And when the fire was almost burning in Beijing, the fire successfully burned to the outside world.

It's been so long since things happened, no matter whether Li Shengxi is alive or dead, traces should be found.

But there was still no news from Xu Huanzhi. And speaking of it, something happened to Li Sheng in Xu Huanzhi's territory, and Xu Huanzhi had no one to blame.

There are also people who follow Li Shengxi. As subordinates of officials, they cannot protect Li Shengxi's safety. Li Shengxi's life or death is uncertain, but they live well. How can there be such truth?

The young emperor had no plans to touch Xu Huanzhi for the time being, but he planned to question Li Sheng's personal entourage when he attacked him, and immediately ordered them to be recalled to question them.

However, Xu Huanzhi refused to send the person away.

Linxi was completely confused now.

The reason given by Xu Huanzhi was that they were the people around His Highness and they knew His Highness’s movements best and also knew His habits. Keeping them around would make it easier to search for Li Shengxi. He also hoped that the little emperor would consider Li Shengxi.

, wait until Li Shengxi is found, and then question Li Shengxi’s personal followers.

What Xu Huanzhi said was reasonable and well-founded. If you put it on a normal day, there would be nothing wrong with it. But the problem is that this is the will of the little emperor. He has already issued an edict clearly. Even if Xu Huanzhi is reasonable, the emperor will not

It is possible to withdraw this imperial edict. If not, where is the emperor's majesty?

Xu Huanzhi was a loyal person, and no one expected that he would suddenly become like this.

Can the court question Xu Huanzhi? Of course it can.

Are you asking for guilt? This raises a question mark.

Xu Huanzhi has troops.

Only then did the courtiers clearly realize that it was not only Li Shengxi who could not lose his position, but also Jinzhong Qingxia. But in the past, Li Shengxi was around, so others would not pay attention to them. Moreover, they were already among Li Shengxi's party members.

Among them, it can be regarded as the force that Li Sheng attacked.

But now that Li Shengxi was "no more", everyone was shocked to discover that these two people were also difficult for the court to control.

Li Shengxi could suppress them and drive them, but that didn't mean that others could do the same.

It was impossible for the court to touch Xu Huanzhi at this time, but it was also impossible to withdraw Emperor Ming Zhang's imperial edict. In the current situation, the court had to persuade Xu Huanzhi to accept the imperial edict.

However, no one tried to persuade Xu Huanzhi to do anything.

Moreover, after these envoys returned, they also found out some information - Xu Huanzhi did not trust the imperial court, and although the envoys did not say it, they vaguely revealed that Xu Huanzhi suspected that Li Sheng's incident was related to Linxi.

Linxi official: "."

It was clearly Xu Huanzhi's dereliction of duty, but Xu Huanzhi instead beat him up.

But maybe there is such a possibility. Although I feel extremely sad to see what the Holy One has done in these days, I did not show any mercy when suppressing the people of Prince Ning's family.

The young emperor was so angry that he even wanted to order Xu Huanzhi to be arrested in the capital and deprive him of his official position. However, he was stopped in time, because if Xu Huanzhi resisted the order again, the emperor's face would be wiped out.

Moreover, once things become serious and Xu Huanzhi breaks into chaos, the situation in the court will become extremely troublesome.

Not to mention there is Mu Jing. If Xu Huanzhi is still controllable, then Mu Jing is not controllable at all.

It would be better if Li Xun was still there. Li Xun is Xu Huanzhi's nephew. Xu Huanzhi would probably listen to him if he went to make peace. However, Li Xun went to Nandi to control floods. You can't call Li Xun back just because of such a thing.
