095: Preparation for the Coronation of the Emperor
After seven days and seven nights of mourning, the Imperial Palace of Wu is now in full swing. This is because tomorrow is the day of the coronation of the new emperor. Wu Jian the Crown Prince will be crowned the 8th Emperor of Wu.
In addition to the coronation of the new Emperor, there would also be the appointment of Lin Yung as the new Prime Minister in the stead of the legitimate Father. Meanwhile one of the Elders who had been following Yu Ma and also a member of the Night Shadow Force, was appointed as the Minister of Defense.
The elder was named Liang Hu who had the ability at the level of Intermediate level Hermit Swordsman and got the rank of Colonel in the military.
On the sidelines of the busy palace servants preparing everything, it seemed that Yu Ma was watching them with Lin Yung and Guo Jin who yesterday afternoon had just arrived in Wu Chang An city.
Guo Jin arrived at Wu Chang An city to express his sorrow to Lin Hua family. In addition, Guo Jin arrived at Wu Chang An city to ensure the safe passage of the coronation of the new emperor.
"Teacher, can we trust that information? it seemed like they were too confident if they dared to attack at the time of the Emperor's coronation."
Yu Ma expressed his opinion. Given that there were at least fifty thousand soldiers residing in the capital of Wu Chang An. While tens of thousands more, scattered in dozens of cities and villages that were in the territory of the Wu Empire.
"Ma'er I think so too, but we must also admit that the combat strength of imperial soldiers is only at the level of third-rate and second-rate warriors. If they move with thousands of people at the expert swordsman level and hold titles, then there will be many casualties on the soldier's side."
Guo Jin then explained further that the information he obtained from the members of the Valley of Gods Sect was not based on assumptions alone, but based on careful observation.
"Teacher Guo.... If it was true that they were about to attack at the event, what advantage would they get? and what was their real purpose in attacking the palace?"
Lin Yung expressed his opinion, he still questioned the information Guo Jin gave, the article was from the spy and palace intelligence section, no one gave him a report about that information.
"That's my question, General Yung. I haven't trusted that information completely yet but ignoring it isn't a good thing either."
For a moment the three of them fell silent, Just as Yu Ma was about to respond to the Master's remark, he saw a Colonel-ranked officer coming in haste. That officer he recognized as the head of the palace intelligence section.
After paying his respects to Yu Ma and General Lin Yung, the officer said that there was secret information that he would pass on. He said he glanced at Guo Jin.
"Tell me what information you're going to tell me, don't worry that he's my teacher."
Yu Ma understood the attitude displayed by that officer who regarded Guo Jin as an outsider. The officer was stunned after hearing Yu Ma's words. He then saluted Guo Jin.
"Our generals, spies and intelligence agents reported that from this morning until this afternoon, they found many merchants carrying warriors as their bodyguards outnumber those they used to carry. In fact many of them carry twice as much as usual."
Yu Ma and General Lin Yung were surprised to find almost the same report as what was delivered yesterday by Guo Jin.
Since the murder incident eight days ago, Yu Ma has ordered to increase the guard at each gate. And also noted the more detail that came out and entered the Imperial Capital.
The officer then explained further that based on the records of the officers guarding the four gates of Wu Chang An City, the, they got a note that the number of guards entering the city reached three thousand more and was still growing.
This became a natural thing because every time the coronation of the new Emperor was held, there would be a celebration for three days and three nights.
In the celebration, all kinds of entertainment will be held and fireworks will take place from early to midnight.
Unlike this time, the new Emperor will be crowned because the old emperor was killed by a mysterious assassin.
So that the presence of the merchants by carrying a much larger number of bodyguards, became the attention and suspicion of the palace.
The officer also added that they found many merchants from the Song empire coming this time around. And they were merchants who carried twice as many bodyguards as usual.
Lin Yung and Yu Ma were caught off guard by the spy and intelligence chief's report. Those who initially thought the information from Guo Jin was just a worry, now believed the truth of the information.
After no reports were submitted, the officer immediately returned to the place where he served. Leaving Yu Ma and Lin Yung who were now filled with great concern for the safety of Wu Jian, the new Emperor.
"Ma'er, General Yung, right now the safety of the Crown Prince should be our top priority. Come here I have a plan to save her."
The two of them immediately approached Guo Jin who then explained his plan. Lin Yung and Yu Ma were wide-eyed for a moment but then nodded their heads while smiling thinly while looking at each other.
The three of them immediately headed for the Crown Prince's room whose face was still left with sadness. There was no joy in that handsome face of his that he would soon become the most powerful person in the entire territory of the Wu Empire.

Meanwhile at the residence of Prime Minister Lin Bao, there was a newness and excitement simultaneously. It happened because of the arrival of a grandmother who was almost a hundred years old.
The grandmother, whom Lin Hua recognized as her Master and guardian angel, came as Lin Hua was shocked by the death of her father.
The arrival of Grandma who was none other than Xie Jia made Lin Hua become a little cheerful.
"Teacher how's Teacher? why did Master leave us without saying goodbye? where's the teacher been all this time?"
Lin Hua flocked Xie Jia with a few questions with a spoiled voice that sounded like a girl to her mother.
"You haven't changed yet Hua'er." Xie Jie pinned Lin Hua's head which instantly screamed in pain. Even his tears to the point of dripping endured the pain.
Xie Jia's eyes almost jumped out of her petals because she didn't think it would make Lin Hua scream until she cried with pain.
When he touched Lin Hua's right arm, Xie Jia was choked to realize that his disciple now had no inner strength anymore.
