Two days later, Hua Wenyan, the commander of the Imperial Guard, captured two remnants of King Liang in Bianzhou City.
Those officials who had worked for the King of Liang in the past were trembling with fear, tightening their scalps, and acting several times more cautiously than before.
Suddenly, the remnants of King Liang were captured again, and many people realized that there was going to be another turmoil in Bianzhou City, and no one was willing to be a victim of the power attack.
For a while, all the ministers in the court were cautious and extremely honest.
After the news came out, many people first thought that Zhao Jin was going to be unlucky.
As for the person who has the closest relationship with King Liang, it is undoubtedly Zhao Jin, who is the son of King Liang. Now it happens that the remnants of King Liang are being arrested. Zhao Jin is suspected no matter what.
Many officials who were celebrating the festival with Zhao Jin were happy to hear this, and even wanted to see Zhao Jin's fearful and uneasy look.
It's a pity that after Zhao Jin heard the news, he behaved as usual. On the contrary, they were still calm, and Zhao Qian did not treat Zhao Jin coldly because of this.
In fact, after the news came out, Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
On the day they received the news, Prince Xuan's Mansion, which had been tense for two days, suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Before Sengfan comes back, Bai Wu, Chi Yi, Takeda, you first..."
Jin looked calm and arranged his hands bit by bit.
Regardless of whether this luck was man-made or destiny, since it was given to him, he just had to use it.
Even if soldiers come to block it and water comes to cover it, the situation will not be worse than the current situation.
Prince Xuan's Mansion returned to calm on the surface, but things were moving privately, including the intelligence system that Zhao Jin had set up in Zhao State.
A big net, with Prince Xuan's Mansion as the center, spread silently.
I just don’t know whether this net will eventually be able to cover the Zhao Kingdom, or whether it will be captured by another net.
"It all depends on the situation." Zhao Jin let out a sigh of relief, "After all, the situation won't get worse."
A few days later, the already nervous Bianzhou City was hit by a huge boulder again!
When several adults came to see Zhao Qian, they happened to encounter Zhao Qian getting furious in the imperial study. The prime minister who had not yet reached the door could hear the voice clearly.
Cen Qianyi's heart skipped a beat, and several important ministers looked at each other, vaguely feeling a bad premonition.
There is nothing worse than coming to discuss matters with the emperor, only to be met with his anger.
"My lords, please wait a moment. This servant will go in first and pass the news." The guards and eunuchs guarding the door were also tense.
Especially the little eunuch who was on duty every day and had to go in to pass the news. When he walked in, his legs were almost shaking.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, several adults are already here."
He didn't dare to look at the situation in the palace, but a bloody smell came directly to the tip of his nose.
Even though the little eunuch tried his best to hide it, the tremor in his voice still leaked out.
There was silence in the imperial study room for a moment, and then Zhao Qian's cold voice sounded, "Drag the person down and force him to find out who he is!"
"yes)"
The guards who were holding two bloody prisoners in the imperial study room responded and dragged them out again.
"Clean up the ground and then call some adults in."
The palace servants in the imperial study were all busy. The young eunuch waited for the blood stains in the imperial study to be cleaned up before walking out with shaking legs.
"Sir, Your Majesty invites you."
The complexions of several people were not very good-looking, they were green and white.
After they waited outside for a while, two prisoners whose prison clothes were stained with blood were dragged out, and a long blood trail appeared on the ground.
Then there was the sound of palace people busy cleaning up again.
It was obvious that they came at the wrong time.
Your Majesty is probably interrogating prisoners inside, and the prisoners you may be able to interrogate must be guilty of something not trivial. In addition, news came from the palace a few days ago.
Several people looked at each other. Are the two people who were dragged out not the remnants of King Liang?
Cen Qianyi sighed, "Let's go, go first."
He walked in front and led several courtiers in.
As soon as they entered, they could smell the residual smell of blood, and several people's faces turned pale (this chapter is not finished yet!)

A few points.
It wasn't that they were afraid of the smell of blood. After serving as officials for many years, even if they had not personally questioned prisoners, they had seen many of them.
However, after cleaning, there was still such a strong smell of blood. It turned out that the situation in the palace was more serious than they thought, which also meant that the emperor's mood might be even worse.
"Your Majesty, I am here to discuss taxation with Your Majesty. The existing commercial tax..." Cen Qianyi managed to calm down and told everyone about their intentions.
Zhao Qian responded in a low voice, but even though the air pressure on his body was cold and heavy, he did not get angry at them.
Several courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.
…
After discussing the taxes, Cen Qianyi and the others were about to leave, but suddenly they heard the emperor above them sigh heavily.
Cen Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise his hands and asked: "What troubles your Majesty? You might as well tell me and see if I can share your worries."
"Hey!" Zhao Qian sighed: "I just interrogated the remnants of King Liang, and found something that made me extremely sad."
Cen Qianyi and others had the same thought involuntarily: they were indeed the remnants of King Liang, and they were right.
After hesitating for a moment, Cen Qianyi continued to pass the steps towards Zhao Qian, "When Liang rebelled, things were so bad. I wonder what hidden dangers were left behind, so your Majesty is so worried?"
"It's not a hidden danger."
Zhao Qian frowned, with regret in his voice, "I just learned that the second child the queen gave birth to was not stillborn, but was deliberately replaced by Zhao Yi's own child!"
boom!
Zhao Qian's words were like a thunderbolt, and several veterans who had been high officials in the court for many years were completely unable to conceal their astonishment.
"Exchange?" Cen Qianyi was stunned by the sudden news and muttered: "The civet cat exchanges for the prince?"
"Exactly!" Zhao Qian slapped the dragon case hard several times.
"Zhao Yi simply, simply died like that. He was really advantaged!"
Several courtiers didn’t know what to say)
"Your Majesty, is the news true?" Zihao asked with a frown.
Zhao Qian had a stern face and nodded, "I have already found out some clues, and just now some gangsters also confessed. I can confirm that this matter is true."
"But the only son of King Liang is King Xuan. If... Cen Yi paused, and his tone became a bit harsh, "If it weren't for King Xuan, the emperor who was replaced might have been in bad luck."
Zhao Qian seemed to be stung by Cen Qianyi's words. He stood up suddenly, breathed rapidly for a while, and then said: "No matter what, I must find out the truth!"
Cen Qianyi and Xu Zihao looked at each other.
