The Four Concubines

Changsun Wuji looked up at Yunxiao.

Yun Xiao's eyes were clear, and her inner emotions were fully exposed, doubts, sadness, grievance...and a little bit of hope.

Changsun Wuji turned his head away.

Yun Xiao's gaze darkened.

"Whether there are 3000 people or 3 people, all the people in the palace are my people. Now, you immediately write the edict of the Zen throne and give me the throne." , finally sober a little.

Yun Xiao was too calm, which made him suspicious, and this eldest grandson Wuji...he still didn't believe that he was sincerely cooperating with him.

Pang Huaibing's brain was spinning fast, he grabbed the knife from the armored man's hand, and shouted at him, "Bring someone in!" Then he walked towards the throne step by step with the knife in hand.

Clever as the eldest grandson Wugou, she knew what was going on when Yun Xiao called out her second brother's name. She was a little dazed, she couldn't believe that her brother would do such a rebellious thing, but at the same time she had to accept this fact .

Yun Xiao calmly watched Pang Huaibing who was walking up step by step. She was accompanied by hidden guards, so she didn't have to worry about safety issues. She just watched the blood dripping from the knife and held her eldest grandson Wu's hand tightly in a comforting manner. Dirty hands.

The eldest grandson Wugou was startled awake by Yun Xiao's movements, turned his head to look at Yun Xiao's side face, he suddenly realized that his facial features, which were originally delicate, looked dignified when he held them up...

So, did she already know?

Grandson Wugou didn't dare to think deeply...

This may be the time in Pang Huaibing's life when he is closest to the dragon chair that he thinks about day and night. He has walked halfway through the ninth step of the ladder, but he can only walk this half.

Seven or eight soldiers flew in from outside the main hall, and the shouts of killing outside the door sounded again, but quickly subsided, a dozen soldiers trotted into the hall, and the leader shouted loudly, "Hurry up! There is an ambush!"

Pang Huaibing suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Xiao, he knew it!He knows it!Yun Xiao must have something to depend on sitting here so calmly!

But where did he come from?Could it be that Changsun Wuji repented?

"Master Changsun is very trustworthy." Yun Xiao looked at Pang Huaibing's darkened face, and explained kindly.

No. [-] appeared from the darkness, standing beside Yun Xiao in black, preventing Pang Huaibing from rioting suddenly.

The outside of the hall returned to calm again, and another person came in with strides, ignoring the swords of Pang Huaibing's soldiers, one person with one sword, without squinting, he walked step by step to Yunxiao's climbing ladder.

"Your Majesty, except for the dozen or so soldiers in the hall, kill all the rebels!" The visitor clasped his fists, his voice clear and bright, and the word "kill" echoed in the quiet hall.

"General Zhou, you have worked hard." Yun Xiao said unhurriedly.

Things took a turn for the worse!Pang Huaibing stood on the ladder, neither up nor down, Changsun Wuji's face was fine, he glanced at Zhou Chen and shook his head slightly, the courtiers in the hall reacted differently, some of them relaxed Tone, some are ashen-colored.

It's over, the tide is gone!

Pang Huaibing had a fierce look on his face, he had been in a high position for so many years, how could he be willing to let the curtain down like this!

"Beep-------------------!" A piercing whistle sounded, and the situation in the hall changed again!

Several "hidden weapons" were thrown around Pang Huaibing from every corner outside the hall, and then exploded!From Pang Huaibing as the starting point, a circle of cyan smoke filled the surroundings, and the range of the smoke continued to expand towards Yunxiao!

The hidden guards appeared one after another, and No. [-] reacted quickly, reminding, "Don't inhale, be careful of poison!"

Yun Xiao pulled the eldest grandson Wugou beside her into her arms, and covered her mouth and nose with one hand, while she stared at Qingwu motionlessly, barely touching her nose with her free hand.

Zhou Chen drew his sword, and retreated vigilantly as the range of the blue mist expanded, in case the people inside broke through from the front.

"Open the window!" Someone in the hall shouted.

The palace people finally found their own sense of existence, and pushed open the window closest to them.

Yun Xiao secretly thought it was not good, but No. [-] shouted angrily, "Don't drive!"

After all, it was too late, the window was opened, and the draft quickly swept away the green mist, and there were only a dozen soldiers with bewildered faces left inside, and Pang Huaibing was nowhere to be seen.

No. [-] hurriedly ordered people to chase after him. Yun Xiao understood that it might be too late. The person who called to open the window just now should be the person who came to rescue Pang Huaibing. Which direction did they escape from? The palace is so big, it is not difficult to hide a few people with high martial arts skills.

No. [-] looked back at Yun Xiao, "Your Majesty, it's the people who stopped us outside the city." He had just had a brief fight with them and recognized the opponent's routine.

"Go." Yun Xiao nodded to signal him to continue chasing people.

Pang Huaibing disappeared, and the soldiers also knew that they had become abandoned sons, so they stopped making unnecessary resistance. They threw away their weapons one after another, and were taken away by Zhou Chen's men.

The play in the main hall can be regarded as the curtain call now, and the courtiers couldn't help looking at Yun Xiao, who obviously still had a childish face, but after several changes, she was still calm, and thinking of her new policy, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts , they may be really old.

They have to admit that since the new emperor "recovered" and came to court, the young emperor kept refreshing their impression of her. Who was Pang Huaibing, who planned the change of the palace single-handedly, and several households killed all the members of the royal family. But the old fox who can stand safely in the court.

The many years of arrangement in Liaojiang, under the means of the new emperor, all of them were in vain, and the rebellion was quelled without the help of the imperial army. The mind and strategy are not bad. Maybe in his hands, Daqin can regain Back to the top?

At this moment, the ministers who have passed the Great Qin for more than 20 years suddenly had hope in their hearts.

"when"

"when"

"when"

……

The bell rang on New Year's Eve, and the first year of Tianwen officially became history.

"It's getting late at night, gentlemen, please go back to rest early. Next year, I will continue to rely on you to help me govern the country together." The meaning in Yun Xiao's words was already obvious, and the courtiers got up to leave one after another.

Changsun Wuji sat there neither happy nor sad, he knew that he was not included among those who "go back to rest".

But after a while, the hall was full of people walking around.

"Zhou Chen, arrange the soldiers." Yun Xiao said again.

Zhou Chen took the order to retreat.

In this way, only Yun Xiao, the eldest grandson siblings, Xiao Chuo, Luo Shui... and Prime Minister Dong Yubai remained in the hall.

Yun Xiao turned her eyes to Dong Yubai, and said seriously, "Prime Minister, let's go back and rest earlier."

Dong Yubai watched Yun Xiao slowly get up and leave with complicated eyes.

Yun Xiao knew what he meant by staying, since Changsun Wuji had rebelled against him, he was the only civil servant left under Yun Xiao, so he thought Yun Xiao could only rely on him.

But Yun Xiao asked him to leave again, and Dong Yubai knew that the matter of Changsun Wuji might be reversed.

How much does Yun Xiao value eldest grandson Wuji, even such a major matter of rebellion is negotiable?

Dong Yubai exited the hall with a complicated heart.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Wugou, go back to your Weiyang Palace." This kind of tone of "teaching" my sister is very inappropriate for today's eldest grandson Wugou, but Yun Xiao said Didn't say much.

Changsun Wugou stood up slowly, his face was pale, his lips without a trace of blood trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Yun Xiao was a little worried, but at this moment, she was afraid that what she said would make her even more unacceptable...

In the end, Changsun Wugou didn't say anything, he just looked at Changsun Wuji fixedly, closed his eyes, and the tears that had been stored for a long time flowed silently down his cheeks, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were no longer on Changsun Wuji. .

The eldest grandson Wugou turned around and walked towards the side door step by step, but suddenly stopped before going out, and glanced back at Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao, who had been chasing her eyes, saw complexity, nostalgia and reluctance from that glance... …

With just one glance, the eldest grandson Wugou left without looking back. Yun Xiao felt very uneasy and got up and wanted to chase after him, but Xiao Chuo who had been eating melons suddenly said, "I'll go." Then he gave Yun Xiao a look, He got up and left quickly.

Luo Shui, who had been invisible all this time, also got up and followed with light steps.

Yun Xiao stared in the direction of the side door for a moment, sighed softly in her heart, sat down slowly, and turned her eyes back to the people in the room.

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking to Changsun Wugou, he continued to lower his head.

As Dong Yubai thought, Yun Xiao really valued the eldest grandson Wuji or the eldest grandson's family. The eldest grandson's family was originally "gifted" by the system, and the loyalty is [-]% absolutely credible...

hundred percent?Yun Xiao was suddenly taken aback. That's right, isn't the loyalty of the eldest grandson's family [-]%? Why did this happen?

Yun Xiao was still carefully recalling the "system" introduction on the day of time travel, but Changsun Wuji raised his head.

"The emperor didn't ask me, why?"

Yun Xiao came back to her senses, looked at Changsun Wuji, and said as he wished, "Why?" She really didn't understand why Changsun Wuji did this, and what reason he was willing to join forces with Pang Huaibing.

"It's because of you." Changsun Wuji replied.

"Me?" Yun Xiao really didn't expect this answer.

"Yes! Once your Majesty's new policy of allowing women to enter the court is implemented, they will bear eternal infamy! Women can be officials, and one day they will be emperors. When that day really comes, all the infamy of future generations will be counted on your head superior!"

"My eldest grandson's family is full of loyalty to the king and the country! You must not be allowed to go on like this!"

Changsun Wuji's words were eloquent and his eyes were burning.

In comparison, Yun Xiao's voice was very calm, "So, you would rather bear the charge of treason and treason, but also guarantee my integrity?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered slightly, "Pang Huaibing is the only one who rebelled against the emperor! I will take Your Majesty and the Queen north to Zhanjiang City, and Pang Huaibing will use Guanling as the boundary, divide the mountains and rule, and you will still be the Emperor of Qin!"

Yun Xiao continued what Changsun Wuji said, "Then the Forbidden Army and the Dingbei Army will join together, and at the right time, they will march south, and the rebels will be suppressed. Your eldest Sun Wuji will be the first to bear the brunt of the hero."

"And me!" Yun Xiao's eyes flickered, "In the case of Pang Huaibing, I deeply realized my own shortcomings, relied more and more on you, and with your help, became a 'good emperor' in your mind. Bar!"

Changsun Wuji didn't speak, silently acquiescing.

Yun Xiao continued, "You can't tell Pang Huaibing these things, but he doesn't suspect you of him. It was you who told him about my return journey, so he was able to ambush me all the way, and even targeted my secret guards." He cut his hand, wanted to cut off my arm."

"Including the assassination in the palace, you were also the one who helped Pang Huaibing to fight the imperial army. In order to make him believe that you are real, you have to force the palace." Yun Xiao smiled when he said this, "You still I was worried that Wugou would be implicated if I came out to meet me, so I arranged someone in advance to call her away. This not only ensured her safety, but also misled me that Pang Huaibing sent someone to call her away, in order for me to cure Wugou. A dereliction of duty."

"And in order to ensure that the imperial army can obey your orders, I sent your elder brother away in advance to go back to worship the ancestors. The obvious attention was on Pang Huaibing. If there were not too many coincidences, I would not have thought of you. You should also It’s really a good idea.”

Changsun Wuji's eyes were calm, and he didn't open his mouth to refute.

"Yesterday you told me about the New Deal again. You wanted to persuade me one last time, but you didn't know that Pang Huaibing didn't completely believe you. When you were pushing the New Deal around me, he sent a The person who went to Weiyang Palace to take Wugou away must be trying to blackmail you with Wugou, but fortunately there are a lot of hidden guards around her, so they didn't succeed."

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened, apparently unaware that such a thing had happened.

Yun Xiao looked at Changsun Wuji's reaction, and said expressionlessly, "He's an old fox, it's not that you don't know, of course, the safer the better for this kind of thing."

The hall fell into silence again, Changsun Wuji seemed to have become a mute after Yun Xiao spoke, and did not say a word.

"Actually, the virtue of saving me is just incidental. What you are really worried about is the status of the eldest grandson's family." Yun Xiao said suddenly.Although Changsun Wuji's explanation just now makes sense, it still doesn't stand up to careful scrutiny.

What's missing...

Yun Xiao subconsciously thought of Zhangsun Wugou, and only then did she understand what the difference was.

For the honor of the family, Changsun Wuji is willing to send even the most distressed sister on her boat. Once Yunxiao's new policy is implemented, the influence of the family will be greatly reduced. Changsun Wuji is a good minister, but first of all he more a...

Children of the family!
