After the new year, the emperor has not been in court for half a month, and the accumulated government affairs are piled up and dealt with at once.

However, this was not the most troublesome thing for Emperor Xixi.On the first day of going to court, there were two murder cases, and both of them were military generals of the third rank and above!

Li Zhe, the admiral of the patrol battalion guarding the safety of the capital, died suddenly of a sudden illness on the patrol road last night.

Wei Kui, the commander of the imperial guards who was in charge of the palace, also found someone to practice after the night of the Shangyuan night, but died under his own fiery knife, and the deputy commander who fought committed suicide on the spot.

Both of these two were promoted by Emperor Xixi after succeeding to the throne, and they were also his most trusted confidantes.Now the same person died strangely overnight, the emperor was furious, he didn't believe there was such a coincidence, he thought there must be something tricky in it, and issued a three-day death order to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and within a few days, the murderer must be found.

After receiving the order, Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not say anything, but his face was a little gloomy.

Both of them were people in important positions. Whether they died in an accident or not, the Ministry of Criminal Justice received the news and went to the scene to investigate as usual.It turned out that the admiral Li Zhe had indeed died of a sudden heart attack. Many ordinary people who witnessed the attack on the busy streets at that time could testify.The chief commander Wei Bakui drank a lot of wine before the fight with the deputy commander. I don't know if he was drunk. The deputy commander Mou Bing made a mistake and caused his death. At that time, there were many guards watching and cheering. Is there any false witness in the murder case?

The investigation must be done, but the most important thing at the moment is that the positions of admiral of the patrol battalion and commander of the imperial guards are vacant, and who to recommend for the position is another problem.For Emperor Xixi, the importance of these two seats was related to his safety, and these two must be his most trusted people.

Emperor Xixi thought about it, and he didn't think there was a better candidate, but the positions of these two could not be vacated, so he chose one of the four existing deputy commanders to act as the commander temporarily, and the patrol battalion Also let the adjutant at the next level take the responsibility. This is the most conservative approach!

After entering the performance, Chunyutai strode into the palace, bowed a big gift to the emperor, and talked about Mencius's holy words "There are three unfilial acts, and it is the greatest to have no descendants", and then brought out the marriage between the eldest son Chunyujun and Princess Hanyue. Hope the two get married soon.

As soon as this remark came out, the old courtiers in the court also remembered that when Emperor Xixi first succeeded to the throne, the emperor issued an edict to marry Princess Hanyue to Chunyutai's eldest son.It has been more than ten years now, and the princess and the prince have grown up. It stands to reason that they should have gotten married as early as three or four years ago. My son-in-law is not allowed to take a concubine first and then marry a wife, and now he is still alone, let alone talking about having a future!

Why didn't Chunyutai bring it up in the early years?He also knew about sending Princess Hanyue out of the palace eight years ago. Although Emperor Xixi arranged for the fake princess to be placed in the palace, as an old fox, Chunyutai couldn't find out!He couldn't expose the emperor's tricks, and he didn't want his son to marry a fake princess, so he never mentioned it.After the matter of the real and fake princesses on New Year's Eve, the real princess came back, how could he let go of this opportunity!

Speaking of this matter, Emperor Xixi was indeed a little guilty, but then he remembered that he had seen his niece several times during the year, and every time he saw those deep eyes, he always felt faintly uneasy. Now that she has grown up, He has been exiled by him for many years, he is no longer sure whether he can control this niece, staying in the palace will be a serious problem after all, it is better to marry her as a wife earlier and concentrate on caring for her husband and raising her children.

After thinking about it, Emperor Xixi pretended to ponder and said: "I have neglected this matter, and I have wronged my son! I will issue an order to let the high priest choose a good day, and let the queen prepare for Princess Hanyue's wedding." Sighed , and continued: "As the high priest said, although the new year has a new atmosphere, Dachen's national fortune is in a difficult situation recently. If we can drive away the bad luck with happy events, after passing this stage, my Dachen will be prosperous and peaceful!"

What Emperor Xixi said made people speechless on the one hand, and on the other hand, he intended to hold a happy event as soon as possible to marry Princess Hanyue.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Chunyu Tai was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

The emperor said so, so all the civil and military officials in court congratulated Chunyutai one after another.

Emperor Xixi's heart was not here, and he had come to have fun for several days, and his body was a little too much after just sitting at the front for a while. Fortunately, there was nothing important to do next, so he drove back to the palace.

There is a short distance from the Yong'an Hall to the emperor's bedroom. Emperor Xixi sat on the walking chariot, following the swaying rhythm, remembering that he lost two of his confidants all of a sudden, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Emperor Xixi was able to achieve this position, and he knew very well what he had done in the past.In order to protect the throne, he not only guarded against outsiders, but also worried about his own sons.Not setting up a prince is one of them, so as to prevent the prince from thinking about the future succession of the throne and making unfavorable actions against him. After all, it is not uncommon in history to rely on patricide to ascend to the throne.Second, the adult prince has only a vacant position in the court and has no real power. He is afraid that his sons will gain too much power in the future and threaten his throne.

Today, the admiral of the patrol battalion and the commander-in-chief of the imperial army died unexpectedly. It may not be true that his life could be directly threatened, but it is still not reassuring.Could it be that someone wants to rebel?The more Emperor Xixi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he summoned his personal eunuch to whisper a few words beside him, and Eunuch Li took the order and left.

Seeing Li Fu trotting away, Emperor Xixi felt a little relieved.

Emperor Xixi cherished his life very much. He has been king for twenty years, how could he not have a backup army!The [-] guards in the neighboring suburbs of the capital did not join the establishment of the imperial court, but directly obeyed the emperor's orders.The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while is to prevent them from coming to escort them when something happens to the capital one day.

As soon as he arrived at Linjing Pavilion, Emperor Xixi got off his chariot as a routine, and walked forward with a large number of personal attendants. After passing through the garden and the imperial garden, he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The road is also very easy to walk. It takes a long time, and it is boring, so it is not bad to take a walk once in a while.When he was young, he didn't like to sit on a walking chariot, and it took only half an hour to walk back to the harem. When he got older, he couldn't do his best, and he was a little out of breath after walking too far, so he used the walking chariot to get in and out!

The scenery along this section of the road is very good, and many flowers and trees have been planted. After the early spring, the trees are full of shade and the flowers are in bud, which is really refreshing.Looking at the fresh things, Emperor Xixi gradually felt quiet and comfortable, and couldn't help but let go of his mood.

Before he reached the Imperial Garden, he met Concubine Li Gui and a group of court ladies and eunuchs walking towards him from a distance.

"Concubine concubine sees the emperor!" Today's Concubine Li Gui is delicate and soft, and her demeanor is even more charming than before.

Emperor Xixi saw Concubine Li's gorgeous costumes and exquisite makeup, all of which had been deliberately dressed, so he didn't know why she appeared here, "Why did Concubine Ai come to see me?"

Concubine Li said coquettishly, "I haven't seen Your Majesty for quite a while, and I think about Your Majesty all the time, so I came to see you and see that Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, so I feel relieved."

To put it bluntly, the emperor favored the new concubine in the past half a month, and he never summoned Concubine Li Gui, feeling dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that coming to the palace has always been her most favored, since Shen Meier came, the emperor seemed to have forgotten her existence.But she can't say it clearly, if she is jealous of another concubine in front of her husband, she will be regarded as narrow-minded, and this kind of woman is the least attractive to men.

Emperor Xixi laughed, "My beloved concubine has a heart!"

"Your Majesty! My concubine—" Concubine Li Gui walked in small steps and wanted to stick to it, but she staggered and fell directly on the emperor, her face paled immediately.

Emperor Xixi had seen such tricks a lot, and he also helped Concubine Li Gui.

At this moment, a court lady next to her came to her senses and hurried up to help Concubine Li Gui from the hands of Emperor Xixi, but she got a sharp look from the concubine.

"Is my concubine alright?" Emperor Xixi didn't expose her, and secretly sighed in his heart that Concubine Li Gui was not new to the palace, how could she play such childish tricks like those little concubines.

"Concubine...it's okay!" Concubine Li Gui saw that the emperor said words of concern, but her face showed no worry. Even though her heels were a little uncomfortable, she still said that she was okay, she felt melancholy!

Emperor Xixi was still in a good mood at first, but was disturbed by Concubine Li Gui's scheming, after all, he had loved the concubine for many years, and couldn't bear to vent his anger on her.

When the emperor walked away, Concubine Li Gui glanced resentfully at the maids behind her, "Who came here to help the Palace just now?"

Ladies and gentlemen, you look at me and I look at you, but no one stood up.

In fact, the situation just now was a bit chaotic, the maids were wearing uniform clothes, the same dress, and even the same body shape, who noticed which one?

"Forget it!" Concubine Li Gui pointed at two of the maids with displeasure, "You two come here and help me go back!"

What a bad start, and that Shen Meier was taken advantage of!

At this time, Emperor Xixi had already reached the imperial garden, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his left arm, so he rolled up the sleeve of his yellow robe to look, and saw a trace of blood oozing from the crook of his arm. The jewelry she wears has stabbed her!

"This woman is also true!"

In the palace, there is no news that can be kept secret, not to mention that Ni Yiyi has placed eyeliner in every corner of the palace. When Feng Wuyang got the news, she was playing chess with Ni Yiyi.

Ni Yiyi waved the others away, seeing Feng Wuyang kept silent and holding the white piece still, she thought she was worried about this, "The one who left the princess in the palace is the empress dowager, she hasn't made a sound yet, maybe this There is still room for maneuver.”

Feng Wuyang lightly pressed Bai Zi on the chessboard, "It's useless, since he issued an edict in front of the court ministers, no one can change his decision."

"Then... the princess is really married?"

"The emperor's order is hard to break!"

Ni Yiyi looked at Feng Wuyang, the matter was imminent, but she took it calmly, and felt that she couldn't understand the master's mind.But she knew that the princess would not just accept her fate like this, otherwise she would not have taken off the two confidantes entrusted by Emperor Xixi. Now that she has already started to act, there is no possibility of turning back.

After a while, Ni Yiyi said: "The admiral of the patrol battalion and the commander of the Imperial Army are guarding the safety of the capital and the palace respectively. In the early years, they were favored by the emperor, and they were loyal to the emperor. If something happened to him, they would definitely fight to the death. The princess first put these two people away. Unplug it, and you won't be so restrained in controlling him in the future."

Feng Wuyang pursed the corners of her lips lightly, "Sister Ni really thinks that all problems can be solved by coercing the emperor to command the princes?"

"If the princess plans to break through the emperor's strong shield one by one and weaken his power, to be honest, this idea is not realistic. First of all, we don't have connections in the court. Even if we do, we need to make a careful plan to do it. Second, We don't have time to waste it, how can we turn things around if we don't use some tough measures? As long as the princess nods her head, it will not be difficult to take him down."

The two had a conversation for a few words, most of the black and white pieces had been dropped, the chess game was strangled together for a while, it was hard to tell which one was the best.

Feng Wuyang had never doubted the strength of the No. [-] Pavilion in the World, and there were so many talented people under him. If he wanted to make a little accident, or kill someone with a knife, these tricks were easy to use, and he wanted to hold Emperor Xixi hostage.

But she didn't intend to do that.

"As long as he is still alive, the situation may get out of control." Feng Wuyang spoke slowly, but the light in his eyes was extremely firm. What he said made Niyiyi startled, "Since we have to do it, we must do it thoroughly. Give him any chance of turning around."

"The princess wants to make him..." Niyiyi's eyes flickered with horror, even though Luanfeng Palace is full of their people, out of caution, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.Thinking about it carefully, one more reason must be added to get rid of Li Zhe and Wei Kui. If the emperor dies, they who are loyal to Emperor Xixi will definitely support the eldest son of the emperor. If Feng Zhaohua, who is a replica of Emperor Xixi, becomes the emperor, then What is the difference between the reign of Emperor Xixi?

"Why did the princess... suddenly change her mind?"

"After returning to the palace!" Feng Wuyang said honestly, she thought too simply before.

"Princess...has already started?"

"Everything has been arranged in place." Feng Wuyang glanced at her, "The arrow is already on the string, and I have to shoot it!"

Niyiyi frowned.In order to show her loyalty at the beginning, she recommended to the princess all the eyeliners who sneaked into the palace and even the subordinates stationed in the capital.As the master, Feng Wuyang certainly doesn't need to report to her what she wants to do, and it's not surprising that there are things that even she doesn't know about!

"Is the princess too reckless? Why don't you discuss it with me first? The matter of taking someone's life can be arranged by me!"

"It's because I knew you would stop me that I didn't tell you!" Feng Wuyang sighed softly, "If I can't avenge my father, then I will be a child! As for the crime of the emperor's uncle murdering the father, I believe there will be future generations." Will make a fair comment on his actions."

"...how should the world judge the princess?" If Emperor Xixi's crime of murdering the first emperor could not be carried out while he was alive, the princess would be a regicide without a name. How could she bear the judgment of the world!

"That's not important, grandma Huang endured for 20 years to keep Dachen, why can't I!" Feng Wuyang said calmly, "If you can't even grasp the current opportunity well, how can you look to the future." She said this very lightly , but to Niyiyi's ears, there was an indescribable distress.

"But--"

"Sister Ni lost!" Feng Wuyang interrupted her words after falling down, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had thrown the heavy topic just now out of the blue.

Ni Yiyi's eyes did not fall on the chessboard first, but looked deeply at Feng Wuyang, sighed, and then looked back at the chessboard, "The princess plays decisively, uses the actual to attack the weak, and uses the attack as the defense, and the slave is willing to bow down." !"

Feng Wuyang looked at Ni Yiyi with extremely serious eyes, and she almost couldn't hold it anymore, only then heard the princess' soft voice, "Sister Ni, can you promise me to do something for me?"

Niyiyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course, it's that simple?" Since she recognized Feng Wuyang as her master, shouldn't it be appropriate to do ten things, let alone one thing.

"I hope sister Ni will not forget in the future!"

Looking into the eyes of the princess, Niyiyi felt a pain in her heart for some reason.

At this time, a palace lady walked in from the outside, cupped her hands to the two of them and said: "See Her Royal Highness, I have seen the Young Pavilion Master."

This girl is only around twenty years old, her appearance is not outstanding, but her eyes are extremely cold, and it is not as simple as a court lady who can call Ni Yiyi the master of the young pavilion.

Niyiyi's eyebrows twitched, and she recognized at a glance that this woman is the descendant of Miaojiang Gu King!There was a request to the No. [-] Pavilion in the World, and after the matter was completed, in order to repay the favor, there was an agreement to kill someone for him.

She could probably imagine the circumstances under which Emperor Xixi would die!

Seeing Goddess Miao looking gloomy, she nodded to the princess.

Feng Wuyang didn't say a word, and it took a long time to let out the foul breath in his heart.

Niyiyi's expression was dignified, she knew that the moment of nodding not only represented a life, but Da Chen's fate also began to change.

"Now you and I are cleared, and you are free from now on." Niyiyi's words suddenly turned sharp, "If even the slightest bit of what you did today is leaked, you will become the enemy of No. [-] Pavilion in the World and chase you to the ends of the earth. I won't let you go, understand?"

The corner of Miao Nu's lips curled into a sneer, "Young Pavilion Master can rest assured, whether the world is in chaos or the owner changes, it has nothing to do with me, and I have never seen Her Royal Highness before!"

"Let's go, the farther away from the capital the better!" Now that the matter was settled, Feng Wuyang didn't want to embarrass her.

"I regret it forever!" Thinking about how she killed countless people in her life, it would be worthwhile for this person to die for it someday.

After Miao Nu left, Ni Yiyi still couldn't rest assured, "Princess, this matter is of great importance, this person cannot be kept!"

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, and don't be suspicious of people who are suspicious." Feng Wuyang didn't care, since she had prepared for the worst, her thoughts were not on this.

"It's better for people in the world to be cautious and less involved in matters in the court. After all, such people are arrogant and difficult to handle!"

"Sister Ni can rest assured about this," Feng Wuyang said slowly, "The "Forbidden Martial Arts Order" he has enforced in Dachen for many years has long been regarded as a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of martial arts people, otherwise she would not have agreed so readily, If you want to blame, you should also blame him for being self-confident!"

The author has something to say: I still want to keep the daily update this month, but either something is delayed or Kawen is so stuck that I doubt my life! !

Some hope that the princess will be an emperor, and some think that the princess has not yet met the conditions to be an emperor. In fact... everyone thinks back to what the original intention of the princess is, so that they will not be entangled in this point
