The Jinling Incident was the real turning point of Emperor Wu's reign.From then on, Emperor Wu gradually took power, and Concubine Mei really came into the eyes of courtiers.Because of the prestige accumulated in this incident, it has laid a solid foundation for future involvement in government affairs.

——— "24 Virtuous Biography of Concubine Mei"

"The Emperor Taishang has worked hard to rule for decades, and he has set a precedent in the ages. The Zen position is now on. The Emperor Taishang is a symbol of the legal system, and his status cannot be shaken. The Emperor is here, and the imperial line is stable. If something happens to the Emperor—"

If something happened to the Supreme Emperor, a young prince would not be able to survive at all.Because of this, Wei Qian understood this point, so he asked Wang Zheng to deal with the Fifth Prince.At this moment, both Concubine Wu and Queen Wang are on the same boat.Situ Yun is fine, so everyone can be safe.In Situ Yun's absence, these concubines and their mother clan would all suffer.

"Furthermore..." Mei University scholar said: "If something unspeakable happens to His Majesty, the only thing we can do is ask the Supreme Emperor to return to ensure the safety of the country."

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Wu Gui was furious immediately: "Do you dare to curse today?"

"Sister." Wei Qian stopped Concubine Wu, and said softly to the Mei University scholar: "Your Majesty will not be in trouble, and you are all ministers, please take the trouble to find His Majesty's traces outside. As for the matter of the imperial family, only the Supreme Emperor can do it." Decision. As long as the five princes are not in trouble, the imperial lineage will have its own East Palace Crown Prince."

It seems that the faces of the two concubines are not happy, and the three of them are not willing to go deep into this topic.And this matter can't be told to them, and I can tell the Queen Mother in the future.

The most urgent task now is to ensure the safety of the palace and not let these women make trouble.Madam Mei stood quietly aside after pondering.

"The Supreme Emperor's side of the palace can still try to stabilize it, but His Majesty's side, and even the palace needs to send more troops. I haven't been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and I don't know about the personnel transfer here. Do you have any ideas?"

"This..." The three of them shook their heads: "Your Majesty's Tiger Talisman is needed for troop mobilization. Now that His Majesty is missing, it should be ordered by the Supreme Emperor or the Empress Dowager. I dare not speak nonsense."

Wei Qian rubbed her forehead, knowing that the three of them would follow the way of serving as ministers, so she ordered someone to take out a map: "How is the distribution of troops in the south of the Yangtze River now? Who are the people of other princes? Is our palace safe?"

The three of them looked at each other, this concubine is really not easy to fool.

The Minister of Rites rolled up his sleeves and clicked a few times on the map: "According to the latest personnel transfer, the main force of the Jiangnan camp is in Changzhou, which is five hundred miles away. Moreover, there are dragons and snakes in the Jiangnan camp, so don't trust it."

"The Zhen family?"

"good."

"What about near Jinling?"

"There are three military forces near Jinling." The imperial driver's southern tour must be guarded by a large army.In addition to the tens of thousands of people in the palace, Situ Yun also arranged an army of his own cronies.

"Not far from the mouth of the Yangtze River, there is a general in the Jiangnan camp. He has five thousand soldiers."

"On the other side, Huizhou is guarded by 1 people led by General Liu."

"There is also General Li Teng guarding Jinling. This old general belongs to the Supreme Emperor."

"Compared to the Jiangnan Camp, General Liu and Old General Li are closer. Moreover, they are both the emperor's people."

Wei Qian couldn't help nodding, and silently passed the news to the avatar.

Wei Qian's avatar established the Island Owner's Mansion on Midway Island, and now he is ordering people to invite Liu Shilian to the mansion.The former prince and Taifu was rescued by Xuanyun to Midway Island.He gives lectures to the children on the island every day, and sometimes goes to the island owner's mansion to give lectures to the island owner, explaining the achievements and policies of those emperors.

It's just that the island owner has been separated by a curtain from the beginning to the end, so he can't see his true face.

On this day, I was invited to the mansion.I thought I was going to continue the lecture, but the mysterious island owner showed him a map.

"This is the current distribution map of Jinling's troops. If the current emperor is missing here in Jinling, what should the palace do?"

Wei Qian told him the information about Jinling, Liu Shilian was puzzled and fell silent.

"Why don't you speak, sir?"

"The owner of the island has great powers, and I have known it for a long time. But where did this map come from, and His Majesty is missing?" Although Liu Shilian doesn't like His Majesty today, he will not speak stupidly, so as not to bring trouble to Shenzhou.

"The master of this island is a person of practice. He just waited and watched the strength of Shenzhou and found out that the master of Longting had an accident in Jinling. Out of curiosity, he wanted to ask you how to rescue him. This can be regarded as a practical exercise."

"Drill? What is the drill? Excuse me, the island owner invited me to give lectures, and the various constructions on the island are not as simple as a so-called paradise! What is the island owner's purpose for raising troops and building ships!"

"The old master is thinking too much. The owner of this island has no intention of going to war against Shenzhou. This little force is not enough to fight against Shenzhou."

"That's Nanyang?" Liu Shilian shook his head: "Nanyang is scattered and messy, and this is the best situation for China and our dynasty. A unified Nanyang island country will only expand around and invade our coast. Although I fell into the outer ocean island, But as a descendant of Yan Huang, I will definitely not do anything that endangers our court!"

How strong is Liu Shilian? After thinking about it, Wei Qian chose his words carefully: "I heard that there is a continent to the south of Nanyang. My purpose is to go to the New World to see."

"Look?" Liu Shilian sneered, turned around and was about to leave.

"If you want to be a good soldier, you must first understand the facts. If you don't even know the situation in that continent, how can you talk about future arrangements? Now I say that I want to occupy and rule that continent. Isn't it just a dream?"

Liu Shilian stopped in his tracks: "From the facilities on the island, it can be seen that the owner of the island is ambitious, and he is definitely not someone who is willing to put down an island. In other words, the owner of the island wants to establish his own kingdom on the mainland south of Nanyang."

"What? Ridiculous?"

Liu Shilian shook his head: "It is rumored that Xu Fu went to Dongying, and three thousand men and women gave birth to Dongying. Everything has a beginning. This is not the work of one generation, and the kingdom can only be revitalized if it is passed down from generation to generation." Moreover, if the island leader plans to go abroad, it can reduce the number of people in China. an enemy.

Initially open and honest, Liu Shilian sat down again, looked at the map, and explained: "According to the information provided by the island owner, the current situation in Jinling is not too bad. As long as the Supreme Emperor and the Fifth Prince can be stabilized, and the Queen Mother is asked to mobilize Liu Baohe and this With a large army guarding the palace, there should be nothing wrong."

Wei Qian nodded while sharing the information.This is what she thought, after all, Jia Daishan has taught for many years, and his vision is not bad.

"If it were me in charge of the palace, I would order someone to arrest the Fifth Prince to frighten the Zhen family. On the other side, keep the Supreme Emperor stable, how would you like it?"

Wei Qian said his plan, and Liu Shilian shook his head: "It's okay to control the Zhen family, but the Supreme Emperor should not be underestimated. This Supreme Emperor has a powerful army in his hands, and he will never tolerate being excluded. If the Emperor disappears, he will take control immediately. Palace. If he decides, I'm afraid the emperor's life will be lost."

Wei Qian was taken aback: "This can't be! Could it be that the Supreme Emperor will attack the Emperor?"

"Since there is a prince in the East Palace, the Supreme Emperor can establish the East Palace after returning to the palace, so as to regain power. Of course, the premise is that he can live until the prince reaches adulthood. Otherwise, he will die early, and the new emperor is young, so it is not a blessing for the community." Liu Shilian said to The Supreme Emperor complained a lot about what he did at the beginning, and there was a sense of gloating in his words.

Wei Qian frowned and thought bitterly: Yes, if the Supreme Emperor takes control of the palace and finds Situ Yun immediately, instead of bringing him back directly but silences him, what should we do?Wei Qian didn't dare to place her hopes on the love of the Tian family.And if Situ Yun was caught and kidnapped by Tong Yuanjiao and had to negotiate with the court, it would be even worse.

Wei Qian was not bad at studying history in her previous life, and she is very clear about the changes in Ming Dynasty Tumubao.When the emperor is kidnapped and there are other heirs in the dynasty, I am afraid that the new emperor will be appointed directly.

"Also, whether or not the Fifth Prince can control it is another matter. It would be bad if the Zhen family wanted to riot to save people and attack the palace."

After listening to Liu Shilian's explanation, Wei Qian slowly understood.

At this time, another person arrived in the Palace of the Empress Dowager.

Wang Zheng strode in: "I would like to report to Concubine Ning that the Fifth Prince has invited you to the side hall to rest."

"Just himself?"

"The fifth prince is not feeling well, and it is inconvenient to disturb the people around him. I have already ordered people to ask the eunuchs to ensure his cleanliness."

The meaning of Wang Zheng's words, Wei Qian and the other five could hear it, which already meant house arrest and monitoring.Everyone relaxed, and Wei Qian smiled and said, "With the Fifth Prince in hand, the next thing will be easy."

"Yes." Minister of Rites smiled all over his face: "Without this prince causing trouble around the Supreme Emperor, as long as His Majesty is found, this disaster will be resolved by itself."

Because of Liu Shilian's suggestion, Wei Qian was more careful.He is going to invite Concubine Zhen Gui to come over for a discussion, using her son as a threat.

But suddenly a palace lady came to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good! Suddenly someone spread the news in the palace, and many concubines learned that something happened to His Majesty, and the Empress Dowager fainted, and they all went to the Supreme Emperor's place."

Wei Qian's face changed: "How is it possible! Didn't you tell you to block the news?"

"The people in our palace going north are trustworthy, but the court ladies and eunuchs at the Jinling Palace are not obedient."

"People from Jinling?" Wei Qian narrowed his eyes, and understood: Is it the secret son of Tongyuan Sect?

"Then kill them all." Wei Qian coldly ordered: "No one is allowed to mention the disappearance of His Majesty in the palace except this golden palace. If anyone mentions direct house arrest, those who intend to resist will be killed on the spot."

The malevolent aura of the phoenix's eyes was exposed, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and others felt a chill in their hearts.

I saw the woman said to the concubine next to her: "Sister, you are in charge of the palace's internal affairs, please issue an order. I will use the Empress Dowager's golden seal again."

This empress is very sharp, if the queen mother is safe in the future, what she did today can kill her.Wang Zheng thought silently, but he admired this lady's temper.Fortitude and determination, if this empress did not come forward, I am afraid that he would have thought of driving the Supreme Emperor back to the palace and establishing a new East Palace.

"Three adults, please stabilize the situation outside. I will wait for the people in the harem to show up, and when the empress dowager wakes up, I will call you into the palace."

Please ask the Minister of Rites and others to leave, Wang Zheng also wanted to resign, but was stopped by Wei Qian.

"Wait, you accompany me to the Supreme Emperor."

Taking Wang Zheng to the residence of the Supreme Emperor, Wei Qian asked, "You were by your side when the accident happened to His Majesty, do you know who did it?"

"Those people are shouting that Qingtian is dead and Huangtian should be established. They must be the Tongyuan Demon Cult that enshrines the emperor of Huangtian."

"Tong Yuan Demon Sect?" Wei Qian pretended to be surprised, and she became more confident.

After getting the news from Wang Zheng, she can play freely in front of the Supreme Emperor.

The residence of the Supreme Emperor is surrounded by many concubines and concubines.

Except for Concubine Wu Gui, Wei Qian, and Ni Yan, the five concubines are all on the side of the Supreme Emperor.

Bai Su was terrified and wanted to go to the Empress Dowager's side, but when she heard that the Empress Dowager was in a coma, she decided to seek refuge with the Empress Dowager.You know, the Supreme Emperor still has military power in his hands, and the defense here is the most stringent in the palace.As long as the Supreme Emperor comes forward, the situation can be restored.

"Your Majesty, now that the emperor is missing, what should we do if those thieves break into the palace?" A concubine cried and cried, completely ignoring the kindness Situ Yun's mother and son had shown her a few days ago.

"Yes, Your Majesty, when are we going back to the palace?" Who cares about playing at this time, the best way is to board the Supreme Emperor's boat to leave Jinling and return to the palace.

Bai Su and other Situ Yun's concubines expressed panic, and they all expressed their filial piety to the Supreme Emperor instead of Situ Yun.With Situ Yun gone, they had no one to rely on in the harem.

The Supreme Emperor frowned, the news from the hunting ground made him feel anxious.In addition to worrying about his son, he is also concerned about the safety of himself and the entire country.

"I have ordered people to find out the news. If something really happened..." The Supreme Emperor had a plan in mind, and immediately drove back to the palace, at least going to a safe place before trying to save Situ Yun.

"Concubine Ning is here." There was a message at the door, and the Supreme Emperor's expression changed, seeing Wei Qian rushing over.

"Concubine Ning, you also want to go back to the palace with me?" Jia Daishan entrusted his dream two days ago, the Supreme Emperor Aiwu and Wuxia had a gentle attitude towards Wei Qian, even if Wei Qian didn't mention it, he was going to take Wei Qian and the Queen Mother away.

Wei Qian came in, and immediately knelt down in front of the Supreme Emperor: "My concubine is late to save me, please forgive me." As soon as she knelt, Wang Zheng and Hongchun hurriedly knelt down after her.

"Help me?"

"Your Majesty has a well-planned plan to lure the Tongyuan Demon Sect to show up. This is what it should be. However, this matter is confidential and has not been discussed with His Majesty the Emperor beforehand. I should have come here as soon as possible. Jinling. But the empress dowager was suffering from heat stroke, so she came down one step later in a panic. Where there was a disturbance, I will plead guilty to the emperor on behalf of your majesty." Saying this, the white-clothed concubine kowtowed to the emperor.

Wang Zheng was dumbfounded. It's okay to say so?But I have to admit that this lady's acting skills are really good.

Yudai Lihua, with an apologetic and respectful face, although kowtowing and apologizing, there is no flattery, but even more arrogance.Like a solitary plum in midwinter, facing the wind and snow.
