The night was dark, so deep that it was almost suffocating.

The bed curtain moved slightly, and the faint candle flame swayed slightly with the wind blowing in.

I don't remember the first sleepless nights. Even when I was rushing to the manuscript, I never lost sleep to this point.

Chonghua leaned against the cushions of the bed frame, looking at the boundless darkness beyond the layers of curtains.

If it was a dream, it should have come to its senses.

It seems to have returned to the deep courtyard of the Tongjiang Palace. It's like going back to the days when you needed to be on the lookout for things all the time.

Chonghua turned over, not looking at the boundless darkness. Let the fear of helplessness slowly spread in my heart.

She had never learned how to be an emperor, let alone the art of kingship. How not to collapse the stall that the queen threw at her, it is like a dead end, and she wants to get out but can't find an exit.

If someone around reminded her at this time, wouldn't it be better?

almost subconsciously denied the choice of writing to Luo Chen to inform him of the current scene. Not to mention how anxious Luo Chen's temper is, her current identity alone is not something that can be thrown away casually.

If Luo Chen knew that she was in Lanling now, he would definitely try his best to take her away. At that time, if it is on the verge of breaking out, it will turn into war. She has become a disaster for the country and the people.

Instinctively didn't like others poking her back, Chonghua crossed out this choice without thinking too much.

If Zuo Jichuan can contact her, they may be able to rely on them to support her. At least the people around you are people you trust, so you don't have to be so trembling.

Trembled...... Chonghua rolled over and sat up.

"Who's out there?" Draped in a garment. Chonghua asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, the servant is bad." It's Dolan who is on duty tonight.

Chonghua thought for a while and lit an extra lamp: "Go and announce Yu Qingyan." ”

Dolan was a little surprised, but immediately went to do it. The duty of the secret guard is to be on call at any time, not to mention sleeping, that is, creating people, and you have to be there immediately when the emperor calls you.

Yu Qingyan knelt at the door of the Xinuan Pavilion in the side hall with a tense face, it had been a long time since she had been summoned so late. His instincts told him that something big was going to happen.

Chonghua sat behind the bead curtain, muttered for a long time, and said slowly: "These days of investigation. Who is the most powerful person in the court? ”

Yu Qingyan was stunned. Is it really an ordinary debriefing job? After taking stock for a while, he said in a deep voice: "When the first emperor was here, the most powerful one was the prime minister. But the prime minister has now been removed. There should be nothing to fear. ”

Chonghua's slender nails knocked on the handle of the dragon chair again and again.

"Let's kill it. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, I am also down-to-earth. "I thought about it for a while. Chonghua said.

Both men and women. Once you have tasted power. It's hard to extricate yourself. This prime minister has been at the top for a long time, and he will definitely not be angry if he is not allowed to tear it down. If it's secretly fueling the fire. Sooner or later it's a problem. It's better to pull out this nail directly while he hasn't expanded his influence. Just in case.

Yu Qingyan was silent, calling him in the middle of the night was really to kill someone. Prime Minister...... If it were him, he would also cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles.

Without superfluous words, Yu Qingyan received the order in silence. Before he could leave, he was stopped by Chonghua.

"Inform Prince Bao before you act. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to tell him. "After all, the Shadow Division belongs to Lamur, so you have to tell him.

Yu Qingyan was really surprised by this for a long time, and bowed respectfully and withdrew. I was scratching my head all the way out of the palace. When he first got the news that the dark ministry was going to be handed over to Prince Bao, he wondered for a while. I thought that it should be inferred along the lines of thought that the new emperor used the trick of retreating to advance in order to stabilize the heart of the former prince. But now it seems that the new emperor still respects Prince Bao very much. If it were someone else, who would care so much? The emperor is the greatest, and whatever the emperor says is a holy decree. What's wrong with a prince, it's not like he wants to bow down to the emperor.

But Chonghua didn't do this, even if he checked the net worth of all the ministers, he didn't avoid Lamur, and generously informed him.

Lamour doesn't really have much of an opinion on this. In his opinion, it is natural for the emperor to use the military power of the whole country. Of course, he still accepts Chonghua's respect for him, and respects him a hundred times back.

Under the "internal and external cooperation" of the new emperor and Prince Bao, all the ministers would find that one or two of their colleagues disappeared inexplicably when they went to the court every day. Immediately after that, the new Kid will be rewarded. For no reason, it was replaced.

It's not that no one questioned. There are even more imperial history crying blood and death, and the Chonghua is breathtaking.

Faced with the courtiers' doubts, Chonghua only asked lightly: "Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?" ”

The imperial historians, who have always been known for their uprightness and convincing people with virtue, knelt decisively, who has seen this ruthless, shameless, and unreasonable way of coping with it.

Just when he decided to kill someone that night, Chonghua thought about it.

It's not her style to drill the horns, and since she can't think about it, she simply smashes it. Anyway, I'm just a woman, even if it's unreasonable, even if it's willful, as long as it doesn't affect the country's development, what can I do.

The imperial historians were stunned for half a minute, and continued to beat their chests and cry blood, as if Chonghua was going to die if he did this.

Chonghua looked coldly at the crying imperial historians below, and asked lightly, "I used your money to the newly appointed officials?" Or are they getting in your way? Interrupted your network? Let you go The money spent on the relationship is in vain? Truth be told, those fools are impatient to listen. ”

Say? Who dares to say that! In any case, the protection of officials and officials is simply an unspoken rule that has been handed down for thousands of years. Whoever is a little involved with whomever is involved, and no one can get rid of it if they are picked up. How many Hai Jui's kind of clean officials are there in the world? Alone with a breeze on his sleeves.

What's more, Chonghua still has a network of connections from the dark investigation in his hands, which adult is at the same table with which adult, which minister's sister-in-law is married to which minister's own nephew, and which adult partners with which adult to invest in business. If it's really more serious, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.

Chonghua said lightly: "If you think I am not worthy of your assistance. Then they all return to their hometowns. I will give you a lot of my pension. Put down your black gauze hats and walk out with a backbone. ”

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Joke! How could he resign after being removed from his official position for the sake of others? Impulsiveness is not so impulsive. He is not Lao Tzu's father and son, why did he lose his black yarn hat for others! You can't be stupid like that.

Chonghua turned sideways to take the warm tea from Zhiwan's hand, and swept the group of people who had stopped crying on the ground.

"Official, do you want to resign?"

There was silence in the main hall.

Chonghua took a sip of tea and said coldly: "If you don't quit, don't point fingers in front of me in the future." Or do you all think that my brain is not as good as yours? ”

The kneeling man on the ground lowered his head.

There is indeed a Li Shimin in history. But although Li Shimin listens to what others say, he just listens. Whether you really do it depends on how you feel.

Or to give you a chance to speak out, it is already very face-saving for you.

Are there still few faint kings in history? Wine pond meat forest beacon fire play princes. Who has asked your ministers for their opinions?

I hired you to make my job easier, not to let you take care of my wife.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Maybe it's been a long time. All Aiqing has long forgotten. What is a courtier? I use you to make my life easier. You don't have to do everything yourself. If it's just eating, drinking, and having fun, why should I use you? After being an official for a long time, I thought I could manage everything. If you think you are wiser than me. How about you sit on this throne? Chonghua chewed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Said.

After going down to the court. Lamur discussed this with Chonghua with some concern. What if the ministers rebelled en masse?

Chonghua waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care at all: "If it can't be used by me." It's a waste of food to keep it. Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish, and it is estimated that your mother has never taught you. Die one or two, and they'll be well-behaved. ”

Everyone gets impatient sometimes. Cut the cucumber shreds and cut them halfway directly to smash them, weave a scarf halfway through and buy one directly, and cut off the chicken thighs directly when they are halfway through. When things pile up too much, you get impatient.

She didn't study psychology either, so she wasn't a very patient person in the first place. Why bother fighting wits and courage with these old men. If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, you will give up the position. It's so annoying to occupy the pit and not that or something.

Although Lamur also felt that Chonghua's approach was refreshing and simple, the concepts instilled in his mind since he was a child pulled him, and although he yearned for it, he still did not agree with it.

In the next few days when Lamur was worried about the rebellion of his ministers, the ministers treated their work conscientiously and respectfully as if they had taken the wrong medicine.

Chonghua thought for a while: "It should be the prime minister who drove the crane west." ”

It doesn't matter what method it is, anyway, the up-and-coming bird who has a big tree and a big wind has not left a name and went to the West Heaven to see the Buddha.

There are few officials who are not smart, and they can analyze it in a few minutes, and it is impossible for this prime minister to die of natural causes. The frightened gaze was fixed on the petite woman sitting on the dragon chair.

I thought that the little girl hadn't seen much of the world, so it might be easy to control it if she was scared. Who knew he would be so ruthless.

It's not a big deal to get rid of the prime minister's official position, but he was killed directly.

Not only that, but the queen of the people did not shy away from this matter at all, and generously admitted that all this was not accidental. It made a group of people who were used to being courtiers confused.

What can't be admitted, is to let them know that she is in a bad mood and kill people indiscriminately, so that these people will live with their tails clamped.

This is also a natural phenomenon of conditioning. The so-called bottom is what the bottom is. Be clear at the beginning, and over time no one will dare to challenge your authority.

Of course, there is never a shortage of brave people in this world. A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life.

Qinglin crawled out of the monitoring room weakly, and for three days without eating or sleeping, he finally got the new artificial AI by drinking milk. The final test run is already underway and is expected to take three hours to complete. Qinglin dragged his two crippled legs and strongly asked to take a bath to relax.

Qinglong and Suzaku found out a list of people from different ages and backgrounds who disappeared inexplicably.

Xuanwu and Baihu also sorted out foreign investigation records. Four people are having a meeting around the table. I watched Qinglin almost crawl off the carpet.

Suzaku pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that the little unicorn was really squeezed dry by Ying Long this time." ”

Qinglong snorted disappreciably: "Squeamish." When Lao Tzu went on a mission, he didn't sleep for four or five days in a row, and he didn't lie like this. ”

The white tiger glanced at Qinglong: "Isn't he young?" ”

Qinglong snorted and turned around without answering. Suzaku smiled and looked at his phone: "By the way, the young master and Ying Long will be back today, right?" ”

I don't know how the United States is dealing with it. If it is said that Zuo Jichuan is a crazy lion. That Ying Long is the one who is even crazier than him.

These two don't even have a person who can be in the middle and mud. Foreign researchers, are you still alive?

"The plane at half past three in the afternoon, I'll drive to pick them up in a moment." White Tiger said.

Gu Chengren went to investigate the cave and got the result, although many people had lived in the cave (the kind of staying for a day or two), they never found the entrance to the barrier that they could cross.

Gu Chengren only struggled for thirty seconds before giving up decisively, and took Eric back to the dormitory directly. Crossing this kind of thing is not something that can be done by trying to wear it. There has to be some opportunity.

Suzaku pinched his chin: "Makoto is talking about an opportunity, right?" ”

As he spoke, he spread out all the missing person's information on the table and stared at it closely.

Baihu waved his hand: "Don't listen to that god stick, I really can't bear his chatter sometimes." ”

Qinglong coughed and poured a glass of water to drink. The mouth says this, but the body is surprisingly honest. I don't know who calculated the time in the middle of the night and deliberately went to Gu Chengren to settle the marriage.

"All these people have a timeline, right?" Suzaku's eyes lit up slightly, rummaging through the information of these people.

Qinglong nodded: "It's accurate to the second." It's easy to find, what's wrong? ”

Suzaku rummaged through the three books closest to him and lined them up. Everyone leaned over to look.

"What the opportunity? These people have all experienced the unnatural fire in the Qinling Mountains. Suzaku tapped on the materials.

As expected, the missing people from other countries probably went to the cave overnight. Perhaps it was then that they crossed over.

Qinglong wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at these materials, it seemed that it was indeed necessary to report. It's beyond their control. It has to be handled by someone at a higher level.

I called at night, I had to call. (To be continued......)
