After pondering for a moment, Prime Minister Qin Cheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now the court has the ability to plan this qiē, and has different intentions, it is nothing more than a few princes who are the most suspicious, as for which one is the most suspicious, it is difficult to say, why don't you send someone to the courtyards of the palaces to check, and those who have abnormal movements must be the masterminds behind the scenes." ”

"In this case, let's do what Qin Xiang said." Zhao Xianming waved his hand, and as his words fell, a black shadow quickly disappeared into the brightly lit room, like a wisp of light smoke that slowly dissipated, silent.

His eyes inadvertently swept over Prime Minister Qin Cheng's slightly drooping calm face, Zhao Xianming sneered in his heart, since this old guy has repeatedly asked him to send someone to investigate, let's see what he is thinking.

Seeing that the emperor did not have the sign of breaking out for the time being, all the ministers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Zhang Qiqi, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly hurriedly pushed the door in, and presented a black envelope to Zhao Xianming before he had time to salute.

Black represents expedited and top secret.

Zhao Xianming's face changed, he couldn't avoid the ministers, took it and opened it urgently, and after just a glance, he slammed the thin piece of paper on the table, shaking the oil lamp on the desk and swaying rapidly.

Everyone's hearts suddenly sudden, and everyone, including Zhang Qiqi, quickly knelt on the ground and shouted in a deep voice.

Zhao Xianming's sharp eyes glanced at everyone coldly, raised his voice and said angrily: "Angry? Do you know what it says? The 20,000 Jin Wuwei who were secretly lying in ambush in the West Valley were suddenly attacked and suffered heavy losses, and now they have all been accused......"

Looking at everyone, his eyes flashed with crazy suspicion: "The news that Jin Wuwei was hidden here in advance by the secret edict is only known to everyone present, who can tell me about it, who leaked the news?" ”

Hearing this, the ministers were shocked in their hearts, this is a matter of losing their heads if they are not careful, who would dare to deal with things like just now, and they didn't dare to move when they lay on the ground one by one.

According to the usual practice, Zhao Xianming was furious, scolded everyone fiercely, and ordered all the people present to be placed under house arrest until the matter was clarified.

The ministers walked out of the study under the stern gaze of the guards.

After everyone went out, they waited for a while, Zhao Xianming beckoned, and between the lights and shadows, a black-clothed and masked figure had already knelt in front of the bookcase: "Master." ”

"Well, send someone to keep an eye on them, and don't let go of anything suspicious." Zhao Xianming commanded in a deep voice.

The black shadow replied neatly: "Yes." ”

After saying that, Zhao Xianming fell into deep thought, the black shadow did not dare to leave without permission, and still knelt quietly on one knee, his black back was as silent as night.

After a while, Zhao Xianming came back to his senses and asked, "The people who were sent to investigate the king's movements before have all been ordered." ”

The dark shadow replied, "I have been told." ”

To be able to follow Zhao Xianming's side closely, not only must be absolutely loyal, but also have the agile thinking that is good at understanding the master's intentions.

Zhao Xianming nodded with satisfaction: "Is there any news from the capital?" ”

"There is no movement in the capital for the time being."

"As soon as there is a situation, come and report to me immediately." Zhao Xianming gave a deep command and dismissed the man in black.

Xishan has done it here, presumably the capital will not be calm soon, but the palace is some distance from here, maybe the news is on the road at this time.

In the wolf howls one after another, Zhao Xianming's face was no longer irritable and irritable, and was replaced by a contemplative color, the fine rain was blown into the window by the night wind, and the stars fell on his cheeks and shoulders, and the tips of his hair were stained with a layer of fine raindrops, and the light was crystal clear.

"Master." Soon another light voice sounded.

Zhao Xianming didn't look back, just asked, "How is the Wuwang Mansion over there?" ”

The head of the man in black was buried lower: "Our people can't enter the courtyard, and the news heard from the side knocking on the side has learned that there is no movement in the Martial King's Mansion for the time being, and the Martial King has been asleep for the past few days, and it is indeed a serious injury." ”

Zhao Xianming bowed his head and let him retreat, and continued to look at the invisible rain outside the window, maybe he was too careful, what Qin You said was true, after all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she had already had a dislike with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and with no one behind her to instruct her, even some ambitions could not pose much of a threat.

Inexplicably, he remembered in his heart that she was open and honest with him for the first time in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"The subordinates just want to live with dignity like a person, who said that this world is only the world of men, women may not have the talent of Jing Taowei, but most of the women are bound in the boudoir by secular etiquette, since the subordinates have embarked on this road of court disputes, they also want to earn a free world for themselves, and see if His Majesty is willing to give his subordinates this opportunity."

He remembers it very clearly

Tang Chu, one moment she was still sad about the abandonment of her family, but the next moment she was full of words to compete with men for the world, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of confidence and brilliance that could not be hidden, scorching and bright.

He has seen a lot of ambitious women, which woman in the harem doesn't have any ideas? But most of them just want to conquer men to get the world, including the queen mother, who was once known as an iron-fisted woman.

No one can have the courage of her, openly participate in the men's competition, even if she throws herself into the darkness and plays with power, she also has the pride and unyielding pride that she will not bend, and she will do something and not do something, which is a kind of bright and upright that belongs to the darkness.

"Your Majesty ......" Zhang Qiqian looked at the smile that quietly hooked up at the corner of his master's lips, and swallowed his saliva in horror.

The 20,000 gold guards are gone, and there are traitors in the ranks of their own people, and this matter is going to be put aside, and his majesty has already gone crazy, and it would be good if he didn't order all the suspected ministers to be killed on the spot, but now he can still laugh?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

"What?" The mood that had just relaxed was disturbed again, and Zhao Xianming frowned unhappily.

Zhang Qi didn't dare to raise his head, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Ling Yue beside Concubine Yao has already been recruited, does Your Majesty need to ask in person?" ”

Zhao Xianming's eyes flashed impatiently: "I don't have so much time, just pick up the important confession and tell it to me." ”

Zhang Qiqian summed up the matter in one sentence: "Concubine Yao heard that King Wu was going out, intercepted King Wu's way on the way, and at the cost of His Majesty's life and the jade seal of the country, the exchange of the position of Princess Wu was rejected and humiliated by King Wu, and she was embarrassed and indignant, so she waited for Princess Wu to stop Princess Wu who had a private meeting with someone halfway to vent her anger, but Princess Wu was injured and beat her ...... That'...... look like that."

"Do you know what King Wu was doing when he went out? and Princess Wu...... Private Meeting? Do you know who you have a private meeting with? Zhao Xianming immediately grasped the suspicion in his words, his brows furrowed, and his face looked even more terrifying than the loss of 20,000 gold guards just now.

Don't...... Did he read it wrong?

She has already taken refuge in others, and someone is instructing her to do so much in front of him?

Zhang Qiqian wiped his cold sweat, shook his head and said: "I don't know who it is, and the people sent to follow me don't dare to approach, and the approximate range can be narrowed down to one of the several princes......"

"Smack-" The teacup held in Zhao Xianming's hand fell heavily on the window lattice, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was anger or murderousness, and when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Qiyan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he said coldly: "What is there to say directly, I don't like to listen to half of what I am told to listen to!" ”

Zhang Qiqian said cautiously: "According to Ling Yue, King Wu seems to know about Princess Wu's private meeting with others, but he didn't stop ......"

Zhao Xianming was stunned, as a man, even if he doesn't like it anymore, his woman will never tolerate having personal affairs with others behind his back, what is Song Weijun's intention in doing this?

The next moment he remembered the former Princess Wu, who was also the person he arranged by Song Weijun's side, at that time he didn't know as much about the Wuwang Mansion as he does now, thinking that how could he control half of the Wuwang Mansion with his wrist when he got a hostess, and even completely abolished Song Weijun after he became pregnant, but the final fact was ......

Princess Wu entered the palace to see him, was assassinated on the street on the way back, her belly was kicked off by her life after being pregnant for eight months, and the baby boy who had been formed was also brutally trampled to death, it can be said that the mother and son died quite miserably.

At that time, it was rumored that it was caused by the revenge of the foreign state who had been suppressed by the Wuwang Mansion, and he was so suspicious at the time, but the results of the investigation vaguely pointed to the Martial King who he regarded as mediocre and incompetent.

If so, will the events of the past be repeated?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianming's fingers couldn't help pinching the rough window lattice, this is the closest chess piece he can place in the Wuwang Mansion, if he is pulled out, do you want him to give the Wuwang another marriage?

No, no, Qin You has already betrayed him, so what does her death have to do with him? Even if King Wu doesn't do it, he will shoot the Heavenly Book Division to clean up the portal, anyway, Prime Minister Qin should be damned, just come to a full door...... Wouldn't it be better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

thought a lot in his head, and finally Zhao Xianming sighed, ordered Zhang Qiqian to retreat, and recruited the henchmen of the Heavenly Book Division: "Send someone to find out who Princess Wu went to see and what she said on the night of Concubine Yao's accident, remember, no matter what method is used, I want the most detailed information, as much as possible!" ”

The black-clothed masked figure knelt on one knee and disappeared with a low voice
