Chapter 20 Tutor Yanhua is dead?

After receiving the decree, Cao Zhengchun left Yangxin Hall to prepare for the anti-smuggling matter in Dongchang.

Before leaving, Zhou Chen presented a royal gold medal and a blank imperial edict.

Anyone who dares to block the preparations of Dongchang, Cao Zhengchun can kill them first and then report them with the imperial gold medal or blank imperial edict.

This also includes General Wu Jin, Prime Minister Yuan Bo and other important ministers of the imperial court.

It can be said that if Cao Zhengchun is willing, it is now allowed to directly capture Prime Minister Yuan Bo or General Wu Jin, who are auxiliary ministers of the country.

Of course, Cao Zhengchun would not do this.

This kind of power, which is comparable to imperial power, is not insignificant.

Emperors of all dynasties, even if they trusted one person, would not easily grant such great power.

Even the father and son of the Tian family are the same.

If Cao Zhengchun hadn't signed in through the system, he would have been absolutely loyal to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen would not give Cao Zhengchun such great power.

Zhou Chen is not afraid that Cao Zhengchun will use his power for personal gain. What he is afraid of is that Cao Zhengchun cannot let go and is restrained.

Now, he has given him the rights and the stage. It depends on how far Cao Zhengchun can go.

With the events of the rebellion in the four northwest prefectures, Zhou Chen already knew that he, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had gradually lost control over the vast territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhou Chen must understand the situation of all parties and control the situation in the shortest possible time in order to prepare for the next plan.

And all of this is inseparable from the violent organization Dongchang.

the next day.

Zhou Chen was reviewing the memorial when he saw Lu Bu walking in with a solemn look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the people in Tianlao just sent news that Tutor Yanhua is dead." Lu Bu said in report.

"What?"

Zhou Chen raised his head and was stunned.

"Can you say that again?"

"What happened to Tutor Yanhua?"

Zhou Chen couldn't believe his ears and thought he heard wrongly.

"Your Majesty, the people in Tianlao have just received news that Tutor Yan Hua is dead. He was poisoned last night." Lu Bu said again.

This time, Zhou Chen heard clearly and was sure that he heard correctly.

Taifu Yanhua died.

Died in prison.

He was still poisoned to death.

How can this be?

Zhou Chen couldn't believe it.

Zhou Chen just went to Tianlao yesterday to see Grand Tutor Yanhua, and he died after one night.

How could this not shock Zhou Chen.

What shocked Zhou Chen even more was that someone dared to poison Taifu Yanhua in Tianlao.

Who did this?

Who was so bold as to poison and kill Taifu Yanhua, the minister of the country, in Tianlao?

Zhou Chen's face looked extremely ugly.

Although Zhou Chen really hoped that a powerful official like Taifu Yanhua would die, he just thought about it and did not dare to kill him easily.

After all, Grand Tutor Yan Hua is not an ordinary person. He is an auxiliary minister left by the late emperor and a pillar of the imperial court. If Zhou Chen really attacks Grand Tutor Yan Hua, he will have the reputation of killing old ministers and not showing tolerance for them.

At that time, all the important officials in the imperial court will be in danger, and its influence is by no means as simple as reputation, but also includes other political influences.

But now, Tutor Yanhua has been poisoned to death in the prison.

Zhou Chen could imagine that once this matter spread, it would definitely cause a big storm.

Sudden.

Zhou Chen thought of something and his expression changed.

"Damn it, I've been plotted." Zhou Chen slapped the wooden case hard with his face, his expression extremely gloomy.

Yesterday, the emperor Zhou Chen had just gone to the Tianlao to see Taifu Yanhua. In the evening, Taifu Yanhua was poisoned to death in the Tianlao.

What does this mean to outsiders?

It shows that Taifu Yanhua was given a glass of poisonous wine by the emperor Zhou Chen to die.

Tutor Yan Hua belonged to the Queen's party, and in the past few days, Zhou Chen had first deprived Queen Wu Ying of her right to be the second holy emperor, banned Queen Wu Ying, and also took the opportunity to send Tutor Yan Hua to a prison.

This is obviously Zhou Chen dealing with the Queen's party.

Now, after Grand Tutor Yan Hua met Emperor Zhou Chen, he was poisoned to death in Tianlao. In everyone's eyes, this was not done by Emperor Zhou Chen, but who else could have done it.

A glass of poisonous wine was given to the late emperor's remaining auxiliary minister to death.

The reason was apparently just a small accusation of poor disaster relief.

How would the civil and military officials in the court view Zhou Chen, the emperor?

How should those loyal ministers and veterans who have always been loyal to Zhou Chen treat the emperor Zhou Chen?

Zhou Chen didn't dare to think about it any more.

This plan pushed the emperor Zhou Chen to the opposite side of all civil and military officials.

It's still a plan to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"What a ruthless plan." Zhou Chen shuddered when he thought about it, and immediately said to Lu Bu; "Stop the news immediately, and we must not let the news that Tutor Yanhua was poisoned to death in the prison spread out."

At the moment, the only thing Zhou Chen can do is to block the news as much as possible to prevent the news that Tutor Yan Hua died in the prison from spreading.

Then, think of ways to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the news has spread and cannot be blocked." Lu Bu said with a frown.

Last night, Grand Tutor Yan Hua was poisoned to death in the sky prison. It took so long that the news had probably spread.

Blockades are just useless efforts.

When Zhou Chen heard this, his expression became even more gloomy and scary. He stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, looked up at Lu Bu and said, "Go and call Zhao Gao and Jin He."

Since the news cannot be blocked, we can only first find out how Taifu Yanhua was poisoned to death in Tianlao.

The prison is an important place.

Not only are there guards from the Forbidden Army, but there are also masters from the internal guards stationed there.

Zhou Chen wanted to know who could poison Grand Tutor Yan Hua to death quietly under such heavy protection.

…

The General's Mansion.

General Wu Jin sat on the main seat with an ugly look on his face, and there were more than a dozen court officials sitting below him on the left and right sides.

Everyone has a very important position in the court and has considerable power.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and everyone looked ugly.

General Wu Jin glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "I don't think I need to say anything more. Everyone already knows what's going on in the palace!"

"The queen was imprisoned in Qingfeng Palace for no reason on an unfounded charge. She is not allowed to step out of Qingfeng Palace without a decree."

"The Taifu died in Tianlao again last night, and he was poisoned in Tianlao. Moreover, the Emperor personally went to Tianlao to see the Taifu before."

"As soon as the emperor left, the master was poisoned to death that night. As a minister, I shouldn't be more suspicious."

"But the Taifu is a minister left behind by the late emperor to assist the country and the pillar of the imperial court. He has been serving the Great Zhou conscientiously all his life. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work!"

"But in the end, the Taifu was thrown into a prison because of his failure to provide disaster relief."

"Now the Grand Tutor is inexplicably poisoned to death in the Heavenly Prison, and the minister who served as the auxiliary country left behind by our great Zhou emperor is actually poisoned to death in the Heavenly Prison? How ridiculous is this."

General Wu Jin roared with anger.
