and Making Plans

Ling Lingfa shook his head, asked the guards to keep an eye on Sun Zizhen and others, and then led a few people outside the hospital.

Ling Lingfa then explained: "I previously speculated that these poisonous ice cubes may have been used to murder His Majesty. After all, the ice cubes used in the Ice Giving Ceremony came from the ice chamber. The other party poisoned them at this time.

It is precisely because I want to catch up with His Majesty and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Of course they knew the seriousness of the matter, and if they were not careful, everything would be lost.

Zhu Yipin hurriedly said: "Then what are we waiting for here? Why don't we quickly go to the palace and report this to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can postpone or cancel the ice ceremony."

Foyin and Ling Lingfa shook their heads. They were the emperor's close confidants. How could they not know the emperor's character?

Foyin explained: "Amitabha! Some of you don't know. It's impossible for His Majesty to change his mind. What's more, it was done by the Tongzhou Association. If the Emperor knows that it was them who did it, His Majesty will not retreat."

Ling Lingfa continued: "What Foyin said just now is correct. Your Majesty will definitely say so. If the ice-giving ceremony is cancelled, doesn't it mean that the court is afraid of this small boating party? How does this make the court lose face?"

"

The scene became quiet for a while.

Zhang Chen touched his chin and suddenly said: "If we look at it from another angle, this might not be an opportunity for encirclement and suppression.

If we stand still and pretend to know nothing, then the fraternity will act according to the original plan, and then it will become a situation where the enemy is overt and we are covert."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people's eyes lit up. Zhang Chen's words made them think about the feasibility of the action in their minds. This plan has a high chance of success.

Liu Ruoxin said worriedly: "It's a good idea, but it's His Majesty after all. Will he agree to our risk?

Moreover, there is no definite antidote for the poison in the ice cubes yet. Should we take a long-term approach to be more prudent?"

…………

Liu Ruoxin pointed out possible loopholes in the plan one by one.

Zhang Chen looked at the crowd and said, "What Mr. Liu said makes sense. Let's go and report to His Majesty first to see what His Majesty thinks."

Everyone agreed.

The group of people returned to the palace again. Standing outside the hall and looking at the vast square, Zhang Chen said, "Success or failure depends on this!"

"Xuan, Ling Lingfa, Foyin, Zhang Chen, Liu Ruoxin, Yang Yuxuan, and Zhu Yipin come to see you!"

A young eunuch walked out of the hall and sang to several people.

In this way, several people met the emperor again.

"You guys are really amazing. You found out the truth in just half a day?"

The emperor said in surprise.

Zhang Chen took a step forward and said: "We, the ministers, have found out the ins and outs of this matter. Please allow your Majesty to allow me to come together one by one."

……………

In the following time, Zhang Chen recounted all the clues he had found, and the others filled in any omissions.

After hearing what happened, the emperor said with a livid face: "You are saying that the secret passage in our palace was discovered by assassins, and they used this secret passage to assassinate me?"

Zhang Chen did not speak. He knew that it was better not to speak at this time. As expected, the emperor did not need anyone to answer but shouted loudly: "What do my guards do for food? If you can omit such an important place, I will definitely do it carefully."

Punish them."

After hearing the words, Foyin hurried to the emperor and whispered in his ear for a moment. The emperor immediately stopped roaring and looked at Foyin in surprise, as if saying is this true?

Foyin nodded helplessly, and then the emperor abruptly changed the subject and stopped mentioning the matter of punishing the guards.

Everyone in His Highness' group bowed their heads in unison, as if what just happened did not exist.

After seeing everyone's actions, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. If it hadn't been for the reminder from Foyin just now, he would have forgotten that the secret passage was built by himself so that he could leave the palace to play at any time.

At that time, in order to facilitate access, the guards of the Baolong clan were not discovered and guarded, but Sun Zizhen, who was digging the secret room, was asked to guard it. Now that something really went wrong, I really can't blame others.

The scene was silent for a moment, and Zhang Chen took this opportunity to inform the emperor of his thoughts.

"Hmm, now that you have discovered their conspiracy, then go ahead with your plan just now. I want to see if these thieves can cholera our Ming Dynasty!"

The emperor spoke directly.

Ling Lingfa and Foyin still understood His Majesty. The Emperor did not say a word about canceling the ceremony, but was very optimistic about Zhang Chen's plan.

"Zhang Chen, I will give you the full authority to handle this matter. Whether it is the East Factory or the West Factory, or your six doors, I will give you whatever you want."

The emperor directly gave him authority so that he could make full use of the power in his hands.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen quickly clasped his fists and said, "I thank your Majesty for your trust!"

"Don't let me down!"

The emperor gave a few words of encouragement, then walked down the platform and patted a few people on the shoulders, and then left the palace with the young eunuch.

"Your Majesty, are you going?"

Zhu Yipin turned around and looked at the sun, and couldn't help but said doubtfully.

Ling Lingfa smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. Of course in this world, you must review memorials!"

When Zhu Yipin heard this, he had an expression that said, "Although I have little experience, I'm not a fool."

He was not a fool. Looking at the snickering expressions of several people, he knew that Ling Lingfa must be tricking him, but when it came to His Majesty the Emperor, how could he dare to question Ling Lingfa.

Zhang Chen hugged the two of them and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given us a good start. Let's discuss the specific plan now!"

This time, several people talked in the hall for more than half an hour. After completing the general framework, they left separately. They had to rush to the next meeting to inform their superiors about this matter.

The next morning.

Everyone gathered in the medical center. This was what they had discussed before leaving yesterday.

"How are you doing?"

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Ruoxin. After leaving the palace yesterday, Liu Ruoxin returned to Xichang. She had to inform Wang Zhi about the affairs in the palace. She could only take action after getting Wang Zhi's permission.

Liu Ruoxin nodded and said there was no problem. Wang Zhi had originally planned for the boat club, so of course he would not miss such a good opportunity.

As for Yang Yuxuan, Zhang Chen took him directly to the Sixth Gate last night. Zhang Chen did not dare to leave people outside. Dongchang was the biggest suspect, especially Yang Yuxuan's boss was Cao Shaoqin.

"Yipin, Brother Fa, how is the research on this antidote?"

Zhang Chen asked directly.

Zhu Yipin nodded and said with a smile: "We are two medical masters, but there is still a poison that cannot be cured?"

Thanks for the support!
