The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 979

[Chapter 966 Cold]

It was still in the pergola that was ventilated on all sides.

Sun Shaozong looked at the beggars in front of the Chengmen Cave who were braving the heavy snow to receive steamed buns with hot soup. His expectations had already fallen to the bottom.

Now the snow outside the city has accumulated more than half an inch deep. Although it has not yet reached Chengdu, which is isolated from traffic, it is only a matter of time if it continues to develop like this.

The beggars were already short of food and clothing. After searching for a few hours in this snowy day, they had basically reached their limit. If they were forced to continue to expand the search, they would be forced to fight for their lives.

Not to mention whether they are willing or not, even if they are willing to take their lives to blog, how likely are they to find a hot air balloon in this heavy snow?

It seems that this game is a loser after all.

But fortunately it hasn’t lost everything!

Sun Shaozong withdrew his gaze and turned to look inside the city. He didn’t know how long he had waited until he saw a group of more than a dozen horses moving from far to near.

He subconsciously got up and went outside the pergola, but suddenly stopped.

Because the person who came was not what he expected, but more than twenty dragon guards and a carriage surrounded by them.

This is?

Under Sun Shaozong’s skeptical gaze, the carriage approached unhurriedly, and then a white-haired old eunuch descended from above, and said sharply, “There is a purpose!”

Saying that, he held up the imperial edict with one hand and showed it to Sun Shaozong.

This is to signal him to kneel and listen to the reading, but in such a situation, Sun Shaozong doesn’t ask where he is willing to kneel?

At the moment, he just stood upright in the wind and said solemnly: “I don’t know if this will comes from…”

The old eunuch didn’t take it seriously, holding the imperial decree in both hands and cupping his hands in the direction of the imperial city: “Your Majesty has just made a big trip, and naturally only the Supreme Emperor can issue a decree.”

Great trip?

Emperor is dead? !

Sun Shaozong was startled. Although he knew that King Zhongshun was conspiring to rebel, he never expected that King Zhongshun would kill the monarch so quickly!

Right now, he is ‘making trouble’ outside, so King Zhongshun should keep the emperor as his last trump card and amulet just in case?

Why are you so ruthless…

“Sun Shaoqing doesn’t need to worry about it.”

The old eunuch said again at this time: “It is fortunate that the emperor is wise and wise, and he noticed the changes in the palace in time, and has now captured the chaotic ministers and thieves and imprisoned them in the Xiyuan.”

Has King Zhongshun been captured? !

The plot changes so fast that even Sun Shaozong was a little lost for a while.

Under the instructions of the old eunuch, he knelt down and listened to the imperial decree in a daze. He didn’t remember much of the specific content. He only knew that the Emperor Taishang asked himself to continue to search for the whereabouts of Concubine Xiande and Concubine Rong, and ordered the inspection department to send additional personnel to assist.

——It turned out that Concubine Xiande and Concubine Rong were the ones who escaped from the palace.

It was not until he held the imperial decree in his hand that Sun Shaozong gradually came to his senses, and at the same time guessed the twists and turns behind it.

To say that there is nothing tricky between Emperor Taishang and King Zhongshun, Sun Shaozong would not believe it.

Most of this is because King Zhongshun was calculated. He was originally just an idle prince, and he was very familiar with doing things like a dog.

And in this matter, the only person who can help him is the Supreme Emperor – but the Taishang Emperor did not sincerely want to help him ascend the throne, but wanted him to bear the charge of murdering the king.

In this way, the emperor was killed in a hurry, and he failed to designate the heir to the throne, and failed to select the corresponding minister to take care of his life.

No wonder they all say ‘Heaven’s family has no flesh and blood’. It’s hard to prevent this father-son relationship.

But the Emperor Taishang is so ruthless, but he has offended the Queen Mother before, if this…

“Sun Shaoqing.”

Seeing the difference in Sun Shaozong’s face, the old eunuch said with kindness, “The Emperor Taishang knows that Shaoqing has always been loyal and brave and diligent in the affairs of the king. He personally told the old slave that he will definitely reuse Shaoqing in the future!”

After speaking, looking at no one around, he lowered his voice and said, “In the case of the Zhenguo Gongfu, it was the Niu family who took the blame, and Shaoqing just enforced the law impartially. ”

It would be nice if it could really be like this, but can the promise of the Emperor Taishang be trusted? Don’t wait for the court situation to stabilize, it’s not for reuse, but to settle accounts after the autumn!

But don’t believe it…

Is there any way he can stop the Emperor Taishang from taking power now?

The King Zhongshun who rebelled against the monarch had already been captured, and even if he found Jia Yuanchun and Concubine Rong, he still couldn’t control the situation in the palace.

So even if you don’t believe it, what can you do?

In despair, Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: “I don’t know who will be the one who will take the throne in the future…”

“This……”

The old eunuch glanced at him, shook his head and said, “I’m afraid this is not something we can ask.”

But then, he pressed his voice again: “But there is no doubt that it should be Taisun. Shaoqing has always been good to the prince, so he should have seen it together, right?”

“It’s natural!”

Sun Shaozong pretended to be overjoyed, and also learned to hand in the air: “In this way, it is enough to comfort the prince in the spirit of heaven.”

After speaking, he looked embarrassed again: “Actually, because Sun was worried about the safety of his grandson, he specially sent someone to take the grandson’s mother and son to the house for temporary shelter, but I didn’t know…”

He originally arranged for Shen Lian to pick up the princess and the grandson, but if he couldn’t find Jia Yuanchun and Concubine Rong, he would call on the old part of the army in the name of the grandson to come to the king.

But now that the situation has changed, this hole card has been reduced to idle chess, or even a bad chess move!

Because since the Emperor Taishang wanted to listen to politics and regain power, he definitely didn’t want anyone to get too close to the little emperor…

“That’s not right!”

The old eunuch was a little anxious when he heard the words, and hurriedly urged: “When the old slave came out, the Taishanghuang had already ordered someone to invite the grandson. Since the grandson is in the Shaoqing’s mansion, I am afraid that he has to send it to the palace as soon as possible!”

“That’s how it should be, that’s how it should be, Sun will go back to the mansion and send Taisun into the palace!”

With a panicked look, Sun Shaozong hurriedly apologized and said goodbye to the old eunuch.

The old grievances are not gone, and new knots are added.

At this moment, although the rebellion has been ‘pacified’ in the palace, his own crisis has not retreated, but has become more and more murderous!

If he is just a mediocre person, even a scholar would be fine.

On the other hand, he was famous for his both civil and military skills. He was widely respected in the army and was honored as ‘Sun Shiwan’. Recently, he went to the countryside to benefit Shilin because of the popularization of the law.

Now it’s easy, let the princess and the grandson agree to take refuge in their own homes…

If Sun Shaozong was the emperor, would he rest assured that these people would stay in the court and even reuse each other?

The answer is obviously no!

As he galloped all the way, the coldness in Sun Shaozong’s heart was actually a bit stronger than the wind and snow in the sky.
