Heavy snow also fell on the capital.

The snow continued intermittently from the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the 15th of the first month, as if it was about to finish the snow that had accumulated for the winter.

The snow outside the capital was covered with a thick layer of snow, which relieved everyone who had been worried about the drought, and the snow inside the capital was quickly cleared, especially the slightest snow could not be seen on the imperial streets of the imperial city.

At this time, the sky was dark, and the officials and entourage on the royal street were already surging, all gathered in the imperial corridor to eat breakfast, talking and laughing was very lively.

The three officers and soldiers galloped through the royal street, attracting everyone to visit, but soon they didn't care.

"It's still an urgent report to arrest Xue Qing and Qin Mei, and I said it was going to arrive yesterday. An official said, reaching for a steamed lamb in front of a stall, and someone took the lead and handed it to him.

"I don't know what progress has been made this time?" Zhang Liantang said, pointing in front of the official, "Master Qu, hand me that bowl of quail soup." ”

The official smiled and picked it up for him, and Zhang Liantang didn't need to thank him for handing him before......

"I don't think there's been much progress. He replied casually.

Someone next to him was holding a tea soup, shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, it is said that the news is conclusive in Chang'an Mansion, and Chang'an Mansion is now strict with flies and mosquitoes are not allowed to enter and exit..."

"Which time is not conclusive. The man next to him shook his head.

Zhang Liantang ate quail soup and listened to everyone's laughter.

The urgent report entered the palace, Song Ying's breakfast was interrupted, a eunuch took the urgent report, and there were Song Yuan Chen Shengwang Lieyang Lu Yan who came in with the urgent report in the palace.

"That means she is not in Chang'an Mansion. Song Ying said.

Song Yuan said: "Your Highness, just to say that you didn't find her, it doesn't mean that she wasn't there, the hound did lead all the way to Chang'an Mansion." ”

Song Ying said: "Lonely, since there is no conclusive evidence, don't disturb the people of Chang'an Mansion." ”

Song Yuan frowned and wanted to say something, Chen Sheng spoke first: "Your Highness is saying that Li Guangyuan's impeachment of the officers and soldiers of Chang'an Mansion disturbed the people, and the minister has already ordered Yuan Dingyi of Chang'an Mansion to act in moderation." ”

"In extraordinary times, how can you call disturbing the people?" Song Yuan said unhappily.

Song Ying said: "Extraordinary times are also because of extraordinary people, and they have nothing to do with other people. ”

Chen Sheng gave a salute to His Royal Highness Shengming, and Song Yuan did not continue this topic.

"Your Highness, the decree to abolish the Bat Order has been sent. He said, although it cannot be called a holy decree in the strict sense, because Song Ying has not yet ascended the throne, but the situation is urgent to write a decree as a prince, covered with a jade seal of the country, and the effect is the same, "The officers and soldiers will not be bewitched and disturbed." ”

Song Ying said: "If it's just because of a token to make trouble, then don't let the officers and soldiers do it, these are trivial things, this winter finally snowed, the drought in the north and south eased, and the other lonely want to see the four masters again." ”

The way of the king of the national economy and the people's livelihood is the big thing.

Wang Lieyang, Chen Sheng and the others understood what she meant, and leaned over again to say Shengming.

"Also, Your Highness, Xiliang Suo Shengxuan, please bid farewell to His Highness and return to China. Wang Lieyang said again.

Song Ying nodded and said, "Wang Xiangye will arrange it." ”

Wang Lieyang responded, and the eunuch reminded him that the time for the court was coming, and several people withdrew, and the palace maids came in with their dresses to serve and change their clothes.

The hall was silent, except for the sound of clothes and accessories.

"Miss, no one can catch her if she hides like this, so I'll go for it. Ji Zhong said, and people also came out.

The palace maids were already not surprised by his sudden appearance, and they were busy as if they hadn't seen it.

Song Ying said lightly: "Don't pay attention to it, Lone is still the same sentence, let her be lonely as she wants, let her hide if she wants to hide Lonely." ”

But this Xue Qing .....

What she did was indeed unexpected, but Lone could understand her anger and forgive her for her absurdity. ”

Song Ying reached out and stroked the crown.

"If she's still a smart person, she'll hide for the rest of her life. ”

.....

.....

"Xue Qing has never been in contact with our people. ”

On the road of the palace, several officials hugged Wang Lieyang and said in a low voice.

"Don't bother with her without contact. Wang Lieyang said, "Contact us, can we still protect her from handing her over to His Royal Highness Emperor Ji?" shook his head, "I can't do such a big rebellious thing." ”

Do things reasonably, the officials smiled and nodded.

"The most important thing now is that His Royal Highness is going to see the four masters again, this time no matter whether the four masters give a handwritten letter or not, Song Yuan and Chen Sheng will definitely kneel and beg the emperor to ascend the throne. Wang Lieyang said, "We have to think about it, whether we kneel or not, when to kneel, and how to ask for it." ”

There is no handwritten letter, and there are identity rumors outside, so how to persuade and recognize how to ascend the throne as the emperor is very worthy of consideration, and it is also a matter of easy benefits.

That Xue Qing, at present, there is no greater benefit, so there is no need to pay attention to it.

"Of course. Wang Lieyang paused slightly, "If Xue Qing dies, we still have to pay attention to it." ”

There are many theories about a dead man, and the officials laughed and responded.

The morning bell rings, the palace door is wide open, and the officials walk into the hall in the morning light of the seventeenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianxing, which should be the last year of the Jianxing year, and Emperor Baozhang's accession to the throne will inevitably change the yuan.

.....

......

Zhang Liantang finished his official duties, and after a few drinks on the street with a few colleagues, he returned to Zhizhitang at dusk.

Chu Minghui was pacing inside, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"How did you come back? He complained.

Zhang Liantang untied his cloak and asked what was going on.

"Sent by Chang'an. Chu Minghui took out a booklet, which was thick and wrapped in oiled paper, and there was a red clay seal on the seal.

It turned out to be news that only he could read? Zhang Liantang untied half of his cloak, stopped and stretched out his hand to take it, took out a thin piece of letter inside it, and only after reading it did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I guess that's it," he said.

Chu Minghui handed over a hand stove and said, "What is it?" asked but didn't ask for a letter.

Zhang Liantang threw the letter paper into the hand stove and said, "Leting said that she has been to Chang'an Mansion. ”

"When?"

"Did you see her?"

"What did you say?"

"How is she?"

The room was dim because of the changeable people, and the low voice asked urgently.

Zhang Liantang looked at the excited faces, shook his head and said: "Leting said that she didn't see anyone, and she didn't leave a word, she just appeared outside his door, probably took a look and left." ”

Zhang Shuangtong sneered and shook his sleeves: "It's really stingy." ”

Zhang Liantang ignored him and said: "The investigation of Chang'an Mansion is very strict, the number of officers and soldiers has increased a lot, and there are also many conflicts, and Zhizhitang has also been overthrown. ”

There was a cacophony of angry expletives in the room.

Zhang Liantang waved his hand and signaled: "In short, everyone be careful, it doesn't matter if the house is demolished, don't let our people be demolished." ”

"Did she see what we did?" someone asked.

Until now, Xue Qing still did not respond.

Zhang Liantang said: "I think it is because I saw her that I will go to Chang'an Mansion to have a look, and then make a decision." ”

"What decision?" they asked.

Zhang Liantang said: "I don't know. ”

Zhang Shuangtong booed again.

"Whatever she decides, she'll tell us. Zhang Liantang said, "I don't think it will be too long." ”

......

......

The horses' hooves thundered across the snow-covered ground, and the heavy armor did not slow down the march.

"My lord, we've been out of camp for too long. "A guard catches up with a general," but he doesn't see the black guard. ”

The general looked at the undulating mountain beam in front of him and said, "They are coming this way, they escaped so fast, they must be protecting the traitor Xue Qing, there are many of us, don't let them go." ”

It is true that they are numerous, but what if the dozen or so black-armored guards who escaped are bait, and an ambush is set up ahead.....

But there will be orders that have to be followed, and the urging from above has become more and more urgent, and the punishment and reward have become heavier and heavier....

So the crowd urged the horses to gallop again, and after walking a short distance, they saw a signal from the scout ahead.

"It's really the Black Guard!" the general was overjoyed, and when he saw the meaning of the signal, he frowned slightly, "There are more people than expected!"

But no matter how many there are not as many as them, they are all soldiers, who is afraid of whom, the general did not hesitate, led a group of people to gallop, crossed the mountain beam, and saw a dense crowd of people on the road in front of him.....

Not standing, but lying.

There was only one standing.

What kind of battle is this? The officers and soldiers were stunned, and the person standing had already waved his hand and hurriedly greeted him.

It's a scout.

"Your Excellency, Black Guard. He didn't care about the salute, but said hurriedly, pointing behind him.

The person lying on the ground was indeed a black-armored guard, and the officers and soldiers also saw it clearly at this time, and swept away more than fifty people at a glance..... There are really a lot of people, the armor is scattered, the weapons are all over the place, and the blood stains the snow red....

They had all been on the battlefield, and they didn't need to look closely to know that these people were not alive.

"Huzi. The general looked at the scout with a look of disbelief, "You did it alone?"

The scout smiled bitterly, "My lord, Huzi can't dream of this. ”

That's right, the general came back to his senses, let alone a scout, even if they go together, they may not be able to do it, so which brother did it first?

"There are no other soldiers here lately?" said the general, frowning, "Newly transferred?"

The soldiers who had gone to check on there shouted.

"My lord, look here. ”

The general hurried over, and on the snow in the middle of the corpses of the black-armored guards, at first glance, the bloodstains turned out to be a line of words.

Emperor Baozhang hoeed and raped.
