After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 242 Changshou Village Uprising

what?

When these words were spoken, everyone in the imperial study was shocked.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

The Chiyan Gang is the most famous, largest and most powerful gang in Jiuzhou.

But since they are all people from the underworld, people from the underworld have always disliked interfering in the big and small matters of government.

Therefore, there has never been any intersection between the Chiyan Gang and the imperial court.

The Chiyan Gang is training its troops. What does this signal?

This shows that the Chiyan Gang is planning a rebellion.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, I just don’t know who is behind the Chiyan Gang.

He thought of someone.

Combined with the various evidences mentioned in Shen Maoshan’s previous letter, that person must be the second prince who had escaped from the palace.

After hearing this, the three generals could no longer sit still.

The three of them are people guarding the border. Without the emperor's special permission every year, they will not return to Beijing without permission.

Even if he returns to Beijing, he will leave behind an elite team and commanders.

But this time, each of the three of them brought 5,000 soldiers, so there wouldn't be many soldiers left.

The Chiyan Gang is already training its troops, and it definitely hasn't been just one or two days.

The third prince thought of Shen Jinyao, and he thought he had to find the mine as soon as possible.

No one dared to speak in the imperial study.

At this time, the emperor snorted and laughed, saying, "Humph, you are really brave. Tell me about it."

General Zhao spoke first: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. I'm afraid the Red Flame Gang is already harboring rebellious intentions."

The emperor scolded, "Do I need you to tell me? What I'm asking you now is, what should we do?"

Although General Zhao was very angry with the emperor, he still said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I suggest sending troops to strangle him directly."

The emperor then asked, "What about you two?"

General Li said, "Your Majesty, we don't know the enemy's number now. I don't think it's necessary to make a big fuss to strangle them."

Xiang Hongxuan said, "Your Majesty, I just want to return to Quzhou as soon as possible."

He was worried that this was just part of the thief's plan.

Xiang Hongxuan's words caught the emperor's attention. He always felt that Xiang Hongxuan's words seemed to be blaming him.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was becoming increasingly ugly, the third prince quickly stepped forward to speak.

"Father, I am willing to go and capture those rebels."

The emperor glanced at the third prince, and finally glared at Xiang Hongxuan who was standing there without saying a word.

"Okay, go and capture those thieves."

At this time, the emperor did not know that the third prince did not return soon.

Because of his fear of the Chiyan Gang, the emperor did not say anything else and sent Xiang Hongxuan and others back.

"Let's go, didn't you say you were in a hurry to get back to the border?"

"I didn't even know that Hongxuan was so diligent."

Xiang Hongxuan lowered his head slightly and said nothing, which made the emperor even more angry. However, because of the Chiyan Gang's affairs, he didn't want to create a rift between him and the generals.

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

The emperor sat down only when he and Pan Ye were the only ones left in the room.

Pan Ye: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Pan Ye, do you think it was the Second Prince who did it?"

Pan Ye thought about it, and finally said: "Your Majesty, there is no conclusive evidence..."

After hearing this, the emperor wondered whether he was satisfied with Pan Ye’s answer.

The emperor actually laughed, "You child, you are still like this..."

The emperor didn’t say anything more.

Even Pan Ye didn't know what the emperor was laughing at. He knew that this matter must be related to the second prince.

But as the commander, the emperor always used evidence to support his teachings.

Just when Pan Ye thought that the emperor would stop talking, the emperor asked Pan Ye again.

"Pan Ye, what do you think of the Third Prince?"

At this time, the emperor had his back to Pan Ye, and Pan Ye could not see the emperor's expression.

He thought about it and could only say truthfully: "I don't know which aspect the emperor is talking about?"

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "In any aspect."

Pan Ye: "The Third Prince is different from the First Prince, and even more different from the Second Prince. As for the Third Prince's character, the Emperor knows him best."

At this time, the emperor turned around and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you are still Pan Ye."

Pan Ye knew that this was the only answer the emperor wanted to hear.

Because this is how the emperor taught him when he was young.

Although he had his own ideas, when facing the emperor, he forced himself not to have his own ideas.

Because then the emperor would definitely be able to notice it.

When he was young, the emperor would lock him up and not let him eat.

When he grows up, he will be asked to go on missions continuously.

Later, Pan Ye knew what the emperor liked to hear.

He only has two behaviors in front of the emperor.

Either say what the emperor likes to hear, or keep silent and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Anyway, he doesn't have to inherit the throne, so it doesn't matter what he does or thinks.

But the emperor attaches great importance to these.

Although Pan Ye couldn't understand it, he attributed this situation to the emperor's tyranny.

Sometimes he envied Xiang Hongxuan and others. At least they could still show their true temper when facing the emperor.

The three generals walked to the palace gate and looked at each other after bidding farewell to Eunuch Gao.

The three of them just stood there, no one speaking.

At this time, the third prince was about to leave the palace to find Shen Jinyao.

So I saw this scene.

He could see the emotions on the faces and in the eyes of the three generals from afar. They certainly couldn't express their dissatisfaction with the emperor.

But at this moment, although they didn't say anything, they seemed to understand each other's meaning.

General Zhao broke the silence first, then said, "Generals, I'm leaving first."

General Li: "General Zhao, take care. I have to go back too."

Xiang Hongxuan: "Goodbye."

The Third Prince then walked up and said, "Hongxuan, I will go with you."

Xiang Hongxuan thought that the Third Prince wanted to discuss with him about capturing the Chiyan Gang, but when he arrived at the military camp, the Third Prince immediately went to find Shen Jinyao.

The woman changed into casual clothes today, but they were still men's clothes.

Sometimes Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but wonder, is Shen Jinyao really a woman?

How come there are women who like wearing men's clothes so much?

but……

Shen Jinyao doesn't look bad in men's clothing.

Shen Jinyao and the third prince didn't know what Xiang Hongxuan was thinking, so under Xiang Hongxuan's gaze, they reached an agreement to go to Yanzhou to look for mines.

So there was a scene where the third prince brought his men and was about to set off with Xiang Hongxuan.

But the next day, no one expected that someone in a village would lead an army in rebellion.

"What village?"

"It's called the Longevity Village."
