Chapter 1989 Everyone has their own joy

Yelu Tangzhi had no objection to Yelu Zong's decision.

Although Yelu Tangzhi was somewhat confused about the situation in Heishui, he did not regard them as a big enemy. Even if he guessed that Nanping might be involved in this matter, he did not take it too seriously. Even if Heishui and Nanping joined forces, they were not the opponents of Shuiyue. Moreover, no trace of Nanping's army was found in Heishui.

In short, as long as Yanfeng did not intervene in this matter, it would not be difficult for them to deal with Heishui.

And Yanfeng was now busy with its own affairs, so how could it have the energy to take care of Heishui?

So, after talking to Yelu Zong about this matter, Yelu Tangzhi did not think about it anymore.

On the other hand, Yanfeng, where the old emperor had just died, was indeed not peaceful now. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, and everything seemed to be in order, sensitive people could already feel that Yanfeng was now undercurrent and quite unpeaceful.

The people in the Ministry of Rites were the busiest at this time. They had to arrange the burial of the old emperor and prepare for the coronation ceremony of the third prince Zhao Lun. The latter was the most important. Qi Kai, the Minister of Rites, was determined to perform well in the coronation ceremony. He almost didn't sleep all night and was busy with this matter. He attached great importance to every detail and made sure to make the coronation ceremony beautiful.

He had already stood in the wrong line once. This time, he must not make any mistakes again, not even a little.

The Ministry of Rites was busy, and the Ministry of Punishment was also busy.

The death of the old emperor was a big deal for Yanfeng Country. It was enough for everyone to pay attention to it. Now there was news that the old emperor died of poisoning, and the whole Yanfeng Country was almost in an uproar.

That was the king of a country, the emperor of their Yanfeng Country, and the face of their Yanfeng Country. Now he died so unclearly. Who wouldn't be angry? Who wouldn't care?

Therefore, the Ministry of Justice has received a lot of attention. If it weren't for Guan Zhuo's good ability to withstand pressure, I'm afraid he would have been overwhelmed by this huge pressure.

But even if he has a good ability to withstand pressure, he still feels a huge pressure at this time. First, the person who was poisoned to death was the emperor, and his identity was not ordinary. Another reason is that the biggest suspect in this matter was actually the second prince Zhao Ke, which also made Guan Zhuo feel difficult.

Guan Zhuo is not stupid. Although the matter has not been investigated clearly, he knows that there must be a secret hidden in this matter, and once the truth is found out, it is very likely to become a scandal for their Yanfeng Kingdom's royal family.

If the second prince Zhao Ke is really the murderer, then there is no need to use his hands. This crime of patricide is enough to make Zhao Ke infamous for thousands of years, and at the same time, it will also make their Yanfeng Kingdom's royal family a laughing stock.

And if the second prince Zhao Ke is not the murderer, and the real murderer is someone else, this murderer is also likely to be a member of the royal family, or even one of the princes! Then this matter will also become a scandal for their Yanfeng Kingdom's royal family.

In short, as long as the truth of this matter is found out, it will definitely shock everyone.

Since this incident was exposed, many people have come to Guan Zhuo, and their purposes are different. Guan Zhuo has also been under pressure from all sides. If it were someone else, he would definitely find an excuse to push the matter away and stop intervening, so as not to get into trouble.

But Guan Zhuo did not give up. He still insisted on investigating the case, even more seriously than at the beginning, with a momentum that he would not give up until the truth of the matter was found out.

Yuan Ji and others were naturally happy to see Guan Zhuo like this, because they believed that Zhao Ke was innocent and someone was framing Zhao Ke. Once Guan Zhuo found out the truth of the matter, Zhao Ke would be cleared and have a chance to compete for the throne!

Therefore, Yuan Ji and others all supported Guan Zhuo, and even Hou Yi wanted to assist Guan Zhuo, but was rejected by Guan Zhuo. Now, Guan Zhuo does not trust anyone and does not want any outsiders to interfere in this matter.

The third prince, Zhao Lun, was very dissatisfied with Guan Zhuo's actions. He did not kill the old emperor, and he did not know who killed him, and he did not care who killed him. He was now the candidate for the new emperor, and he did not want this matter to cause any more trouble. It would be best if the matter ended here. Guan Zhuo insisted on investigating the case, which would cause trouble for him.

But Zhao Lun could not stop Guan Zhuo. After all, this matter was related to the cause of death of the old emperor. Although Zhao Ke was the most suspicious, it did not mean that Zhao Ke must be the murderer. If Zhao Lun stopped Guan Zhuo from investigating the case at this time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. After all, he was the biggest beneficiary of this matter. If he stopped Guan Zhuo from investigating this matter at this time, it would inevitably make people think that he was the murderer.

Therefore, Zhao Lun only sent someone to meet Guan Zhuo privately, hoping that Guan Zhuo would stop while he was ahead and go deeper if necessary. Of course, on the surface, he did not dare to give any orders to Guan Zhuo.

Guan Zhuo rejected Zhao Lun's suggestion and insisted on investigating. This made Zhao Lun very angry. He secretly decided that he would deal with this disobedient bastard after he ascended the throne.

If Zhao Lun was just angry about Guan Zhuo's investigation, then the eldest prince Zhao Xuan was terrified by Guan Zhuo's investigation.

Because he was the one who poisoned the old emperor!

Not many people knew about this, but Zhao Xuan himself must have known about it.

Originally, Zhao Xuan thought that this matter had passed, the person who poisoned was dead, and the truth of this matter would never be exposed, but seeing Guan Zhuo's insistence, he was still a little panicked.

"Why is Guan Zhuo so stubborn? The second son is so suspicious, why not just convict him directly? Why do you have to do this thankless task?" The eldest prince said angrily.

Originally, he was already very annoyed by losing the throne, but Guan Zhuo did this, which really made him angry. He even suspected that Guan Zhuo was deliberately targeting him.

Since Zhao Lun took out the will, Zhao Xuan became a little suspicious. He felt that no one could be trusted and anyone could betray him. Now, he was wondering if Guan Zhuo knew something, so he insisted on investigating this matter.

"Your Highness, calm down. The maid is dead. Guan Zhuo will never find the truth of the matter even if he investigates it to the sky." Gu Lin comforted him.

"Can you guarantee that the maid has not told anyone about this?" Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Lin and questioned.

"This..." Gu Lin was speechless for a while and didn't know how to answer.

Of course, he couldn't guarantee this. Although he had previously told the maid that this matter must not be known to others, no one could guarantee whether the maid had secretly told others about this matter.
