Chapter 1808 The One Injured Is Mr. Jing

Shu Yu paused while applying the medicine, "Has the dust finally settled in the capital?"

"That's right." Meng Yuncheng sighed, "It's really hard, it's hard to catch. The capital has been in a state of turmoil for two months, but it finally calmed down a year ago."

According to Meng Yunzheng, the situation in the capital is more cruel and dangerous than here.

Although the emperor knew that the second prince was still alive and had already made preparations after joining forces with the third prince, he even guessed that they were starting to take action when the chaos first broke out in Chenggu County, so he took action in advance.

But since the second prince and the third prince had been preparing for so long, they had the idea of ​​hitting the target in one fell swoop. Not to mention the power in his hands, there are also many stakes behind the scenes.

What's more, they do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and act without any bottom line, just like they did in Chenggu County when they targeted innocent people. They initially targeted the officials. Three of the imperial officials were assassinated, one of whom was seriously injured and two died.

This incident made the atmosphere in the entire capital extremely tense and uneasy. Imperial officials were trepidatious when traveling, and civilians were even more anxious.

Having said this, Meng Yunzheng was silent for a moment, raised his head and said to Shu Yu, "The seriously injured official is Lord Jing Jing of Dali Temple."

Shu Yu suddenly raised his head, "Jing, Master Jing?"

She also had a good relationship with Mr. Jing. When she went to the capital to find Meng Yunzheng, she had stayed at his house for a few days and was very familiar with Mr. Chang.

I never expected that when I heard news about him again, it would be under such circumstances.

"Well, the officials targeted by the second prince and the others were all the late emperor's confidants. They wanted to put the blame on the emperor, so that the emperor would be accused of harming the former emperor's old troops and promoting their own trusted officials. But Mr. Jing did not want to Likewise, you and I both know that Mr. Jing is ostensibly a confidant of the late Emperor, but in fact he has always been the Emperor's servant. This matter has not been exposed yet, but the Second Prince has already known about it in advance, so the other two officials who were killed have official positions. It’s not that big, but Lord Jing is the minister of Dali Temple, so being chosen as their target really shocked everyone.”

However, Mr. Jing himself had great skills and was a cautious person. After learning that an official had been killed, everyone was on guard. There are many capable people in his house, but even so, he still encountered an assassination when he was working in the government office.

"How is Lord Jing doing now?" Shu Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Fortunately, the treatment was timely and no critical injuries were caused. Now my life is saved, but I still suffered a lot."

Shu Yu felt relieved and then thought about the others, "Is there anything going on with Mr. Qi and Uncle Yao?"

"Don't worry, they're fine."

Yao Tianqin is a person who devotes himself to fortifications. Although he is already the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is not sensitive to the situation between North Korea and China. He only wants to make useful tools that benefit the country and the people.

To the second prince and the others, such officials not only pose no threat, but they will also be talented in certain fields when they take office in the future.

As for Qi Chan, he was the Taifu and the leader of the literati. He was not completely sure, and the second prince did not dare to touch him at all. And if they want to take action, they won't kill people, but threaten and induce them, and they want the Taifu to be on their side.

Therefore, for someone with the status of Taifu Qi, the emperor had already sent someone to protect him secretly.

When Shu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but asked, "What about the second and third princes now?"
