I'm sorry that my relatives were admitted to the hospital for surgery, and it was the end of the year. Qingyue is really a little lacking in skills. But rest assured, I will definitely finish this story. And there's not much left of it. Thank you all for your companionship and accommodating along the way. You are my greatest warmth and motivation here. Thank you.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The magnificent Qianning Hall was trapped in the flames of the lamps and the cold armor spread out around it.

In the hazy screen window under the eaves and golden tiles, there are lights and shadows, but there is a strange solemnity and peace. It was as if it were a stone in the heart of the ripples, clearly it was it that shattered the static waves, leading to a circle of restlessness, but it was deep in the dark water, and it was completely irrelevant.

Outside the hall, there were more than 100 eunuchs who held the Ge in a dense turn, all with their backs to the Qianning Palace, and they were strictly guarded. Although the blades in their hands were cold, their frightened eyes flashed with vigilance and shudder. In one shot, the confronting Praetorian guards, their bows stretched out, and the tight cowhide bowstrings and the heartstrings in the armor were generally stretched to the extreme. Outside the guards, several civil and military courtiers who rushed to hear the news were in a panic.

Situ Yifei dismounted, and several people surrounded him, as if a drowning person saw the driftwood, surrounded him, and made a noise.

Zhang Zhong and Gonggong Zhang in front of the emperor, saw Situ Yi from a distance, rushed over, pulled away a few old adults in front of him with two handfuls, grabbed Situ Yi's hand, and cried, "General, this is so good!" ”

Situ Yi withdrew his gaze towards the door of the palace, and when he saw that it was him, his surprised gaze suddenly turned cold, "Gonggong Zhang has always served in front of the palace, why is he not in the palace tonight?" ”

Zhang Zhong was short, knelt on the ground, and cried suddenly, "The general forgives the sin, the general forgives the sin!" The old slave, the old slave suddenly vomited after today, so he took a leave! Old slave, old slave is really useless..."

Situ Yi looked at him coldly, only to see that Zhang Zhong, with beads of sweat on his sideburns, his face full of cloudy old tears, and a pair of gray and black eyes had shrunk to the size of a star due to fear, and he also looked anxiously at the closed door of the Qianning Hall not far away from time to time, and his slightly chubby body couldn't help but tremble like the wind.

Seeing him describe it like this, Situ Yi knew that he was also a calculator after the diarrhea, and stretched out his hand to help him get up, Situ Yi's slightly cold voice also had a little temperature, so he asked directly: "Gonggong Zhang is familiar with the internal prison, can you know who is the leader of the rebellion?" ”

Zhang Zhong trembled and got up, choked slightly, and tried his best to calm down and said, "Yes, it's Zhang Tu'er." As he spoke, his eyes flashed slightly, and he continued: "This Zhang Rabbit, he, he is a small yellow door order, but he is responsible for purchasing outside, and he does not serve in front of the emperor." It's just that this rabbit is smart, and it works up and down. The old slave is also blind, seeing that he is clever and obedient, he only says that he is a good boy, and... What kind of general Maitreya is he worshipping below, the old slave, the old slave also turns a blind eye, the old slave deserves to die! The old slave really didn't know that he actually had the courage of this thief, colluded with some strong young people, and did a disaster that turned the world upside down! Saying that, Zhang Zhong fell to the ground and cried bitterly, Zhang Tu'er was his godson, and he couldn't get rid of it if he could stir up such a storm in the strict inner palace.

Situ Yi didn't understand Zhang Zhong's fear, and only muttered repeatedly under his lips, "Zhang Tu'er? Suddenly, his heart sank, and he suddenly remembered this familiar name, which he had heard from his own white feather guard.

The Chang'an Flying Pigeon Biography, which has been secretly continued, has three lines of delivery, one of which is the rouge shop Yuxue Hall in Chang'an West City, and Zhang Tu'er is the eunuch who often enters and exits Yuxue Hall by purchasing orders.......

If Zhang Tu'er is really "their" person, then this time the eunuch hijacked the holy car, there must be an internal and external combination.

Although, before rushing into the palace, he had ordered his subordinates to go out of the city and urgently transfer the northern army cavalry camp into it. But this time, if this is really not a few eunuchs who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth are making waves, then ......

Thinking of this, Situ Yi's palms at the bottom of his sleeves couldn't help but clench into perfection, and he quickly weighed and calculated in his heart, and before he could come up with an eyebrow, he saw Qin Nanfu, who was dressed in plain clothes, trotting all the way and rushing towards him.

"General!" Qin Nanfu gasped for breath, so he bowed down and snorted. Although he is Situ Yi's brother-in-law, his official rank is lower than him, so outside the family, he is as respectful as ever to Situ Yi.

Situ Yi hurriedly replied and said: "It is the eunuch Zhang Tu'er who is the head, there are more than 160 strong eunuchs, who robbed the saint in the Qianning Palace, and the palace is safe." Just ......"

Qin Nanfu wiped the beads of sweat from the corner of his forehead and said seriously, "Just what?"

Situ Yi pondered for a moment and said frankly: "I'm afraid, Zhang Tu'er has a premeditated plan behind him, and I'm afraid that they will cooperate inside and outside." ”

Qin Nanfu was stunned and said, "Premeditated behind him? Should the inside be combined with the outside? ”

Situ Yi nodded, pursed his lips and said nothing. The flying pigeon in the West Mountain of Chang'an, the eunuch Zhang Tu'er, the Jiangnan shipmer Jin Buzhi, the secret weapon workshop in the Wuxi Xishan, Su Xu, the son of Su Changqing, the widow of the former Prince Qi, Qi Hui, and Liu Qi. The close connection between these people and things gradually surfaced. But in the bottom of his heart, Situ Yi seemed to be unwilling, and he always refused to believe the connection. Or, he doesn't want to admit that Liu Qi is the initiator of all this.

Qin Nanfu inscribed the Sichuan character on his eyebrows, and after a while, he asked in a deep voice: "What are the requirements of that rabbit?" ”

Zhang Zhong on the side listened to the question, hurriedly bowed forward, and said with a crying voice: "This little rabbit cub has always kept to himself, and he has never heard of any dissatisfaction!" If it weren't for his cleverness, the old slave wouldn't be able to make a decision, and wouldn't ......" Zhang Zhong was already crying with tears, choked up.

Qin Nanfu nodded and waved his hand to step aside for the time being. He took a step forward, side by side with Situ Yi, looked at the Qianning Hall in the heart of the cold light not far away, and asked in a low voice: "General, if there is really a danger of combining the inside and the outside, then ......?"

Situ Yi nodded, and understood that Qin Nanfu's half-sentence for the exit was: "The matter of saving the driver cannot be delayed!" ”

Looking at the hazy lights in the hall in the distance, Situ Yi suddenly turned around, met Qin Nanfu's expectant eyes, looked at him deeply and said, "Lord Qin, I have an idea below, it's just that this matter ......"

Situ Yi said, he couldn't help but pause slightly, this matter is related to the loyalty of the minister's net worth, if this saves the emperor, but makes the emperor think that they have a bad heart, then he is killing himself.

However, a crisis is both a crisis and an opportunity. During the day, Situ Yi was still lamenting the power of authority. At this time, it seemed that a heaven-sent opportunity was given to him. It's okay to have one of his wishes, but he has a sense of regret for his sister......

After hesitating for a very short moment, Situ Yi finally made up his mind and said solemnly to Qin Nanfu: "This matter still needs to be taken by adults, with full assistance." However, after the crisis is resolved, the adults and the next may be able to prove each other's innocence, and please take the overall situation first. As he spoke, Situ Yi fell to the ground and bowed to Qin Nanfu.

Qin Nanfu looked at Situ Yi in front of him, couldn't help but tremble in his throat, leaned over to support him, and said sincerely: "The general just orders!" ”

Situ Yi got up and whispered in Qin Nanfu's ear.

Qin Nanfu's eyes widened when he heard this, and the more he stared, the bigger he became. couldn't wait for Situ Yi to finish speaking, so he turned around and wanted to stop him.

Qin Nanfu understands Emperor Yuanping and knows that the sacred heart is like the sea, and Situ Yi's so-called mutual proof of innocence can also be interpreted as collusion in the matter of "loyalty" that Emperor Yuanping cares about the most! As for how to explain it in the end, it depends on the emperor's heart.

Situ Yi put his life on the emperor's heart, which was undoubtedly extremely risky. After all, Situ Yi is married to Qin Nanxi, and he can be regarded as one and the same. In his heart, he didn't want Situ Yi to make the slightest mistake. But thinking of Emperor Yuanping's many secret gestures, Qin Nanfu finally endured what he knew and did not speak.

Situ Yi gritted his teeth and finally decided to take this risk. As long as Linlang's widow clarifies the identity of the prince of the East Palace, then as the prince's uncle and with troops in hand, he can naturally tilt the power of the government and the opposition. With the authority in hand, he can clear the court secrets that his mentor is worried about, and he can also protect all the people he wants to protect.

Stroking Qin Nanfu's hand and pressing it hard, Situ Yi took a deep breath, turned around and told Bai Yuwei, who had been following him closely, and Bai Yuwei took the order and retreated. Seeing them disappear into the night, Situ Yi turned around and said loudly to Zhang Zhong, "What about King Hongyang? ”

Zhang Zhong was stunned, and then his color changed, "King Hongyang? ”

In the civil and military, there were whispers and discussions.

"His Royal Highness the King of Hongyang? His Majesty's only son-in-law, His Royal Highness is still young, why is he looking for His Highness at this time? ”

"Your Highness is only a three-year-old child, why do you welcome him here?"

"His Royal Highness is the general's nephew, and it is ...... for the general to welcome His Royal Highness here at this time."

Within a moment, all the civil and military officers on the side changed color, and they had already guessed Situ Yi's intentions. But no one dared to say that he was taking the opportunity to force the emperor to appoint his own nephew, the three-year-old King Hongyang, as the prince of the East Palace, so that he could become a powerful relative and minister......

Situ Yi didn't have time to pay attention to them, turned to his guards and said, "Go and invite His Royal Highness King Hongyang to come immediately." ”

"Yes!" In the end, a few of the white-feathered guards who were guarding him took the order and retreated.

Qin Nanfu looked at Situ Yi, who was alone in front of the crowd, and let out a long sigh. Perhaps, Situ Yi's dangerous fate is his own choice and inevitable. Closing his eyes slightly, he remembered the murderous aura in Emperor Yuanping's eyes whenever he talked about Situ Yi, Qin Nanfu had no choice but to swallow his heart, conform to the holy will, and conform to Situ Yi's choice.

Opening his eyes again, Qin Nanfu turned around and looked even more frightened, Zhang Zhong said: "Father-in-law Zhang, go and invite the four commanders of the forbidden army to come and discuss." ”

Zhang Zhong's expression was complicated, his flickering eyes glanced at Situ Yi again, and he bowed and retreated.

After a while, the four elite and tall generals came to Situ Yi and Qin Nanfu together.

The forbidden army was originally divided into only two branches, and at the beginning of Emperor Yuanping's accession to the throne, he split the two into four branches, and expanded the original number of forbidden troops of 10,000 people to 20,000. In the midst of such changes, the original commanders and captains of the forbidden army at all levels have changed.

At that time, Situ Yi had not yet been entrusted by his mentor, and only wanted to leave the court, so when the forbidden army changed, he did not pay attention. Therefore, the four new commanders at the moment are completely unfamiliar faces to him.

Looking at the four arrogant generals in front of him, Situ Yi stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "In the Holy Command, if the Holy Bow is in danger, it can be dealt with with in a different way." Zhang Tu'er is a thief, and there is no need to be appeased. Lawfully kill on sight! ”

Four surprised faces looked at Situ Yi in unison, and after a while, one of the commanders took a step forward, raised his hand, and deliberately raised his voice: "The matter involves the safety of the holy bow, and the official does not dare to take the order!" ”

Situ Yi looked at the four uniformed generals coldly, and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty has made a secret decree to appoint your son-in-law, King Hongyang, as the crown prince. The Great Chu Society will continue for thousands of years, if the holy bow is in danger, the right to deal with it! Zhang Tu'er is a thief, and there is no need to be appeased. Lawfully kill on sight! ”

"This~" The Praetorian Guard commander looked at each other.

"This is the secret decree of the Holy Lord, and it is better for several adults to obey the decree!" Qin Nanfu looked deeply at several guards and commanded them, and said ominously on the side. He admitted that what Situ Yi said was a secret decree, but he did not say whether it was a secret decree for the canonization of the crown prince or a secret decree for the disposition of the contingency.

Because only Qin Nanfu could guess that the emperor who was sitting peacefully in the Qianning Hall at this time probably already knew Zhang Tu'er's plot. He risked his own life to lure Situ Yi into taking this risk.

But Situ Yi wanted to kill two birds with one stone. First, he took the opportunity to force Emperor Yuanping to establish King Hongyang as the crown prince, and the other was that he knew that in the forbidden army, like the internal prison, there must be "them" people, if Emperor Chu really had such a secret decree to dispose of the power of disregard for his own safety, then the meaning of "they" hijacking the holy car this time would disappear.

The four Praetorian Guard commanders exchanged glances with each other, bowed their heads, and said in unison: "Ministers' orders!" With that, he turned around and retreated, and forced towards the Qianning Hall with a murderous spirit.
