When it was near evening, a little eunuch came to Song Shuyan and said that the emperor planned to follow the advice of the ministers of the court and not touch Shen Zecang for the time being.

Hearing this, Song Shu frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Shen Zeyuan's decision.

Qingyi was bringing a cup of new bird's nest porridge from the imperial dining room from outside at this time, and opened her mouth, intending to persuade Song Shuyan to try it.

Seeing that the queen has been working very hard recently, this little girl is also anxious, and tries her best to make her happy

But she saw that Song Shuyan's face was full of sadness and she didn't seem to be in a very good mood, so she put the bird's nest in her hand aside.

"Queen Mother, do you have something on your mind? can you tell me about it?" Qingyi asked tentatively.

"What else can there be, it's nothing more than the affairs of the DPRK. Song Shuyan said slowly, walking towards the bed.

"Qingyi, I'm a little tired, you go out first. Song Shuyan frowned, and at the same time pressed his sideburns with his hand.

Qingyi saw the queen waving her hand, so she retreated from it in a funny way.

The room was quiet with only bright lights flickering. The palace people outside the hall also held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Song Shuyan was lying on the couch on his side, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Shen Zecang is a wolf ambition, if he can't be eradicated by this opportunity, it will inevitably become a disaster. Song Shuyan thought to himself in his heart.

"No, no matter how thoughtful Your Majesty is, I will not allow Shen Zecang to make waves again. ”

"Someone. Song Shuyan suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly called the palace people to call her father outside the palace for her.

About a quarter of an hour later, Song Ling heard Song Shuyan's search, so he hurried to the palace.

When Song Ling saw Song Shuyan, he prepared to salute. Song Shuyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop his father, and then said to the people around him, "You all go down first, don't come in without my orders." ”

"Father stopped saluting in private. I am your daughter at all times. Retreating from the palace people beside her, Song Shuyan said to her father.

"Of course I know this, but I can't help myself, I must act according to etiquette in this palace, otherwise it will be bad for you. Song Ling replied a little helplessly.

"I don't know why the queen summoned me to the palace late at night?" Song Ling knew that her daughter had always been very steady, and if there was nothing very important, she would not have asked him to enter the palace so late.

"Father's guess is right, I did have an important matter to discuss with you. Song Shuyan suddenly lowered his voice.

"I don't know if my father has heard anything about the court today. ”

"Could it be that you are talking about His Majesty's treatment of Shen Zecang?" Song Ling asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, that's exactly what I'm talking about, I don't know what my father thinks. Song Shuyan threw this question at Song Ling.

"I have to say that Shen Zecang still has a lot of power in the palace, and today a minister mentioned this matter, and many of his henchmen came out to intercede for him. Song Ling frowned.

"Your Majesty is also difficult to ride a tiger, not only to take care of the overall situation, but also to hold the power in his hands, he has just ascended the throne, and he must stabilize the current situation. ”

"Then according to what my father said, you also approve of Your Majesty keeping Shen Zecang?" Song Shuyan was slightly disappointed.

"Judging from the current situation, the choice made by His Majesty is the most appropriate. Song Ling knows her daughter's temperament, and she will not give up.

"Even my father thinks so, but I have another way to alleviate my current predicament. Song Shuyan blinked, and his tone became brisk.

Song Ling was also a little curious, "Then you can tell me about it." ”

"Because Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, although you can't have too much blood on your hands, and Shen Zecang can't be disposed of by Your Majesty, it doesn't mean that he can't be assassinated. Song Shuyan's face showed an elusive look.

"You...... What do you mean?" Song Ling was shocked by Song Shuyan's thoughts.

Song Shuyan smiled and said, "Father is right, I just want to send someone to assassinate Shen Zecang secretly. ”

"If you don't have full certainty, wouldn't you be startling the snake?" Song Ling felt that this method was a little lacking, and he didn't agree with it.

That's why I called my father, hoping that he could help me. Song Shuyan continued: "I hope my father can give me a few good subordinates." ”

"This ...... You've got to think about it. Song Ling was a little worried about her daughter.

'At the moment he can rest assured that I'm well prepared. As long as they can successfully infiltrate the Nanban, they can annihilate him in one fell swoop. Song Ling seems to be very confident.

"Okay, I'll go back and equip you with soldiers and horses, but you must keep it a secret. The people in the palace can't be allowed to find out about this. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. Song Ling didn't forget to tell her before leaving.

The next day, Song Shuyan received a secret letter from the spies:

Each fortress in the Southern Barbarians is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to blend in. The one stationed at the city gate is Xu Yanyan, who seems to know the troops of our dynasty very well, so it is difficult for us to break through.

Song Shuyan clutched the secret letter tightly, his fingers trembling slightly.

Song Ling said thoughtfully, "Xu Yanyan has extraordinary talents, and his mind is also very meticulous, besides, he has been here for a while. Definitely very aware of the form here. ”

"That's right, so the breakthrough is on Xu Yanyan's body. Song Shuyan didn't know what to do for a while.

"As far as I know, the reason why Xu Yanyan stayed under Shen Zecang's command. There is an important reason that Shen Zecang is holding one of his childhood sweethearts hostage. Song Ling said suddenly.

"Childhood sweetheart, is what my father said about the woman named Luoqiu?" Song Shuyan said in surprise.

Song Ling nodded. Although Xu Yanyan is a strategist, he is the most affectionate, he has known the woman since he was a child, and the two of them love each other. Some time ago, it was said that Shen Zecang saved the woman and refused to let her go. Xu Yanyan stayed there. ”

"In my opinion, Xu Yanyan is not willing to stay with Shen Zecang. ”

"In my opinion, there is still room for things to turn around. Song Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Ling didn't know what kind of plans her daughter had. "Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

"I think Xu Yanyan is also a person with a sense of justice, and he will definitely not act for the tiger. ”

Song Shuyan had a smug look on his face: "I'm going to meet this iron-faced and selfless Xu Dastrategist in person for a while." ”

"Yan'er, you, are you a little impulsive to do this?" Song Ling considered Song Shuyan's identity and didn't worry about her doing this, so she hesitated a little.

"Don't worry. Song Shuyan said soothingly.
