"What! Xiangwang's Mansion!" Yu Wenrui slapped the small table with his palm, and the muffled sound echoed in the ears of everyone present.

He Chong froze, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"How can I appease my anger? The person who sneaked out of Yiwang's mansion is most likely the perpetrator, but was chased and killed by black-clothed masked men outside the city, and this group of black-clothed men stole back to Xiangwang's mansion again! This is not murder, What is it? This is still under my nose! How dare you be so rampant! He Aiqing, you are here to teach me how to appease my anger!"

He Chong's scalp tingled when he heard that.Seeing the emperor's furious appearance, he didn't dare to refute, but he had no choice but to speak, saying: "Your Majesty has learned! Everything I reported was based on what I saw. But the truth is still unclear. Please calm down, Your Majesty." , Take care of the dragon body!"

Yu Wenrui let out a long breath, stared at He Chong who was kneeling on the ground, and was speechless for a while.

What "murder to silence" and what "perpetrators" are, they are all talking to deceive people.She knew that the so-called "perpetrator" in the case of Prince Yi's Mansion was Yu Wenda himself; those who slipped out of the back door of Prince Yi's Mansion must be Yuwen Chengji's subordinates, maybe Yuwen Chengji was among them.

Bad guys don't die so easily.Yu Wenrui likes to read scripts since she was a child, and she knows this truth best.Therefore, it was not unexpected to her that Uwen Chengji and his men were still alive and escaped.

The most frightening thing is that someone chased them down, and this group of people came from Xiangwang Mansion——

This thing is worth playing.

Yu Wenrui was still sitting cross-legged, but his mind was spinning fast: The one who can drive so many killers must not be an ordinary person, but he is from the Xiangwang Palace...

Prime Minister?That was a big straw bag.Even though he bears the name of Zongzheng, it is because there is no one in the Yuwen royal family who is older than him.Let him join in the fun and fight Taiping boxing, he may be good at it; if he really wants to kill people and steal goods, I'm afraid he really doesn't have the guts.

Brother Qin?impossible!Brother Qin is upright, he doesn't look like a king, but more like a concubine.He would never do such a thing.

Jianer?Thinking of Yuwen Kejian's beautiful but feminine face, Yu Wenrui couldn't help biting his teeth, how could a big man look so feminine?Still love to wear bright clothes so much.It really makes people feel... chilly.

However, how old is he?I also heard that he is used to having fun on weekdays, would he have such secret thoughts?

Yu Wenrui couldn't figure it out for a while.In the past, she always believed that apart from Beizheng's threat, what she did could be regarded as Emperor Taiping.But now, with all the incidents in front of her eyes, she realized that there were so many potential threats around her!

If the hidden forces in Xiangwang's Mansion colluded with Yuwen Chengji's forces, and even Beizheng, the result would be unimaginable.

Yu Wenrui didn't like this very much.Although she is the only one, she has been the emperor for ten years, and the emperor's desire to control has already penetrated into her flesh and blood.She wants to control her feelings in her own hands, and she will not allow others to interfere with her country!

She looked at He Chong and said solemnly: "He Aiqing, how long have you been with me?"

He Chong knelt for a long time, thinking that the emperor wanted to ask about the case of Prince Yi's mansion, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question after being silent for a long time.

He tensed his back and hurriedly replied: "It has been nearly ten years since His Majesty was in the hidden residence."

Yu Wenrui nodded, and said with a faint smile: "I remember that when I was still young, I wanted to escape from home privately, but He Aiqing stopped me. Otherwise, how could I have the opportunity to be the master of the Great Zhou?"

Confusion flashed through He Chong's mind.He didn't know why the emperor suddenly brought up the old matter, and he didn't sound like he was looking for trouble for himself.He wisely said nothing.

Yu Wenrui said to himself: "Ten years passed in a blink of an eye. He Aiqing is already a second-rank guard, and I am no longer a child."

He Chong said respectfully: "I am able to have today, thanks to the trust and cultivation of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, I dare not forget my roots."

Yu Wenrui laughed playfully, "What a 'dare not to forget your roots'! You are a loyal and upright person, and I am my servant!"

He Chongpin smacked at the emperor's words, secretly startled: Why did His Majesty deliberately ignore the Queen Mother?Could it be...

He didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Your Majesty's reputation is too high! I can't afford it!"

But Yu Wenrui shook his head and said, "I can afford it! Aiqing is my servant, and I will do my best to help me, no matter how much praise I can afford."

He Chong's heart shuddered, knowing that the emperor wanted to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but the emperor wanted him to be loyal to her only.What is the meaning behind this?Is there a gap between His Majesty and the Queen Mother?

It is related to the palace, He Chong dare not think deeply.Now this big week is the emperor's big week, he is just an ordinary courtier, so naturally he has to show his heart.

"Your Majesty, He Chong, will live up to His Majesty's great kindness! I will devote myself to His Majesty's great cause and die!"

"Okay!" Yu Wenrui gave a praise, and said again, "He Aiqing, I accept you as the deputy of Long Yusi. Within three days, you draw up a list and submit it to me, and you must be loyal and trustworthy people to join Long Yusi. Work for me."

"Long Yusi?" He Chong had never heard of this name.

"That's right. Long Yusi is in charge of investigating and investigating traitors. He is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. He is my confidant. All expenses will be paid by my private treasury, and I will be the first one myself."

He Chong frowned secretly when he heard this, he had an intuition that the sky in this big week was about to change.

Similar to Yu Wenrui, there is also a young man in Beizheng who is suspicious of his surroundings.

In the dark night, a group of men in black galloped on horses.After about an hour, he finally returned to the territory of Beizheng.

The person in the lead slowed down first, and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow with a "da da da", messy, just like his mood at the moment.

"Uncle Xiao!" He finally couldn't help but speak.

The middle-aged man also reined in and walked slowly on his mount, "Eldest Young Master, what are your orders?"

Zhan Yu's expression darkened when he heard the word "eldest son", "Uncle Xiao, please call me son..."

Chang Xiao said in a deep voice: "This subordinate is negligent, it shouldn't bring up your son's sadness."

Zhan Yu sighed and said, "Even though my second brother is arrogant, he has always been very kind to me...he just passed 19 years old, how could..."

Said, choked up.

"Isn't it the thieves who killed Ni Zhou?" Chang Xiao persuaded, "Young Master, don't be too sad. The Second Young Master is watching from the spirit of the sky! We should gather our energy and accumulate strength to help the Taiwei take down Ni Zhou. The person who killed the Second Young Master with the blade, should avenge him!"

"It's a woman!" Zhan Yu said, "Someone recognizes her, she is a descendant of Ni Zhou Jing's family, named Jing Jiayue!"

Chang Xiao snorted coldly: "Men against Zhou are useless, now it's women who make the decisions."

Hearing this, Zhan Yu asked, "Uncle Xiao, those people just now... are really the spies against Zhou?"

Chang Xiao raised his eyebrows secretly, and said solemnly: "Young Master, do you doubt the Taiwei's decision?"

Thinking of his strict father, Zhan Yu fell silent.Ever since he could remember, his father, a great general, had been extremely strict with him, and he was even a little afraid of him.But after having a second brother, his father changed from his usual harshness and doted on his second brother so much that Zhan Yu once doubted whether he was born to his father.

Later, the second brother died suddenly, and the father's temperament changed drastically, and he was even more bloodthirsty.Zhan Yu sometimes felt that his father was a real hero, and sometimes he felt that he was too cruel, especially after he personally hanged the little prince of the East Palace with a bowstring a while ago.Even though Zhan Yu is excellent in martial arts, he still dare not speak loudly in the face of this person whom he has been afraid of since he was a child.

The day before yesterday, his father ordered him to follow Chang Xiao and lead his own soldiers to fly to the pass of Cangmang Mountain in Zhou State, saying, "There are spies against the Zhou who want to plot against Da Zheng, and there may be some masters among them. My son, go quickly, and relieve my father of this worry." ".

Zhan Yu also came, beat and killed, but the doubts in his heart were deeper——

Why do those "spies" have pursuers?Did he come here after being hunted down by Ni Zhou?But they obviously want to do things for Ni Zhou!Who are those pursuers?

There is also that middle-aged man, not to mention his extremely high martial arts, who actually knew that his party came from the Taiwei's Mansion, and said something about "Honorable Master" and "Young Master".

That person wholeheartedly protects the Lord, obviously he doesn't look like a treacherous person.

And the old man who was protected by the middle-aged man, why did he struggle with his hands?Zhan Yu's inner strength is profound, even if he is far away, he can still hear his weak call, who is "Qing'er"?Why did he look at him and call him "Qing'er"?Or was it because he looked like someone the old man knew well?

Zhan Yu doesn't know if there is anyone like him in Zhou Guo, he only knows that everyone who has seen him since childhood praised him as very much like his father when he was young, and flattered him that "the youthful phoenix is ​​as good as the old man". Phoenix sound".

Thinking of the words that the old man was shocked to see the guard die in front of him, fell off his horse and spurted blood, Zhan Yu was inexplicably heartbroken——

"It's a pity that this old man has planned for you all his life, but in the end...it's not as good as...poor Da'er...how many years he has endured before killing this old man...Yu Wenqing! Beast! You beast..."

After the case of Yiwang Mansion came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.Although the case has not been closed yet, there is a letter from a department pointing out that the real culprit points directly at Bei Zheng.Yi Wang Yu Wenda was known for his bravery, and his temperament was broad-minded and heroic. Da Zhou, especially those who practiced martial arts, had many people who respected him.Because of this, there were not only a few small conflicts at the border of Beizheng, but also the voices of the people of Dazhou who advocated conquest of Beizheng were loudly raised all the way, and some people went to worship at the ruins of Yiwang Mansion from time to time.

Da Zhou has practiced martial arts since the time of Emperor Gaozu, and now his enthusiasm for martial arts has never been higher.

What arose out of this incident, and the most incomprehensible to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, was the present's handling.As soon as the official was punished, he was punished, and he was reprimanded, but there was really nothing serious to break down.

However, Prince Xiang's Mansion was inexplicably involved.The emperor issued several decrees in succession, and issued them at a low price.First, in the name of "lazy and negligent, and it is not good for saving the clan", he deprived Xiangwang of the Zongzheng position, and demoted the prince to be the county prince; then, appointed Xiangwang's son Yuwen Keqin as Zongzheng, and enjoyed the county king's honor.

So the ministers couldn't understand: Is this suppressing the Prime Minister's Palace today, or promoting the Prime Minister's Palace?

Those with a bright mind recalled the past ten years ago: the first emperor passed away, and the eve of the new king's accession to the throne, didn't the former empress dowager and the current empress dowager deprive the former Zongzheng Yuwen Chengji?Now this posture, no matter how you look at it, looks like the prelude to something big!

There are even rumors that Jinshang quietly left Beijing a few days ago. It is said that he went to Monan and brought back a little girl.This little girl is not ordinary, it is said that it is the blood left by the former emperor when he was in Monan in the past, and had a romantic relationship with the princess of Monan.

That's not counting, what happened next surprised them even more.Because Yi Wang Yu Wenda passed away and had no heirs, the emperor decreed that the youngest son of Xinzong Zheng Yuwen Keqin was adopted as the heir of Yi Wang and inherited the incense of Yi Wang.Moreover, he was given the name Yu Wenkai, and was taken into the palace to be raised, only waiting to grow up.

This move caused a thousand waves with one stone, and it was very meaningful.

The eldest son of Yuwen Keqin is named Yuwenfei, next to the word "wen".The second son should naturally follow this rule, but he was named next to the word "wood" by the emperor. What does this mean?All the ministers thought of the little girl who was said to be of the blood of the late emperor, who seemed to be called Yu Wentang?It is also next to the word "wood".Among them, what is the connection?

Now, their emperor's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess.It's just that I don't know what the plan is to bring back the blood of the late emperor today.Is it to let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?Or... Are you afraid of this little girl today?After all, the current world belongs to the emperor, and the future world will only belong to her descendants.

Also, everyone in Dazhou knew that the late emperor had a deep relationship with the former empress and the present empress dowager, but they didn't know how the empress dowager felt when she faced the flesh and blood of the former emperor and other women.

They didn't know that the protagonist in the rumors, Empress Dowager Jing Yan, hadn't stepped out of Kuntai Palace in the past few days, as if she didn't care about world affairs.

The maids and servants of Kuntai Palace also secretly wondered: In the past, His Majesty wished to stay in Kuntai Palace every day, clinging to the Queen Mother, why did he not come for so long?It is said that the government is busy, but there is no time to say hello, right?

Bing Bi and Shi Mo also murmured in their hearts, and when they were wondering, they suddenly heard that the honor guard of the Empress Dowager had arrived.The two were amazed, apart from the fact that the Empress Dowager was ill last time, had the Empress Dowager ever been to Kuntai Palace in person?

The two were apprehensive, but they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly told Jing Yan.

In the past few days, Jing Yan only regarded himself as an embroidery worker. Except for meals and rest, the rest of the time was non-stop sewing and embroidering patterns.

Hearing the report from the two, she paused——

She knew that this day would come sooner or later, and she had already prepared her mind to face it.However, when it really came, she suddenly felt an uncontrollable pain in her heart.The pain violently tore her heart apart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Isn't it, from now on, the road will return to the road, and the bridge will return to the bridge?

Isn't it so far away from now on?

The empress dowager's back was sinking like water, and she broke into Kuntai Palace with her jade ring.

Jing Yan hurriedly got up and saluted.

Before she could say hello, the Empress Dowager took a glance at the embroideries, clothes, and accessories scattered on the couch, table, and chair in the house. The sizes and styles were extremely familiar. He waved his hand and ordered Bingbi and Shi Mo to step back, and then he yelled to Jing Yan: "You, kneel down to the Ai family!"
