As the left prime minister of the Holy Han Empire, Zhang Kuan naturally worried more, even if the emperor was assassinated or deliberately murdered, no one could know about it, otherwise it would damage the national body and the emperor's image, and he would directly slap the face of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

No matter what the truth is, he must let people know that the emperor just accidentally fell into the water, a trivial matter, and he must not make a big move, nor can he give anyone the opportunity to meddle in the government. Thinking of this, Zhang Kuan suddenly said: "Immediately announce the Nine Emperor Brothers into the palace." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly asked: "Why did you want Xuanzi to enter the palace?" ”

Zhang Kuan said: "You Zichi guards Your Majesty day and night, and no one else is allowed to approach." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang then thought of something, her face turned pale, Zhang Kuan also sighed, and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for the fact that the old seventh son was really not moving, how could it be the turn of the old ninth son to take care of him day and night." Although Zichi is only thirteen years old, as a royal family, he should understand that the stakes are very high at this time. ”

"Hmm." Empress Dowager Zhang nodded violently.

Zhang Kuan summoned Li Canglan and asked him before and after, Li Canglan said that he had already controlled everyone, and sent people to search for the boatman who jumped into the lake, and also sent people to arrest all the family members of all the parties involved. Although Zhang Kuan felt that it was inappropriate to make such a big move, he could only believe Li Canglan now and advised: "The news in the palace must not be leaked, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." ”

"Whoa." Li Canglan said seriously, and then said: "It's time for the imperial guards to be rectified." ”

Zhang Kuan immediately thought that Li Canglan might want to take the opportunity to annex the imperial guards, so he shook his head and said, "The matter is serious, and after you don't act rashly with the nobles, you will look like they." ”

Li Canglan smiled slightly and said, "I have already taken care of it." ”

Wide brows furrowed deeply.

After a while, Dushanbo also came in a hurry with people, and Zhang Kuan immediately led people to greet him. The two talked briefly for a while, and Nadushan Boye Xiangdong also knew what was going on before and after, and comforted: "Your Majesty is auspicious, and he has a long life of 100 years, so this time it will be fine." He turned around and said, "Canglan, call the Si Cheng of Wentian Academy." ”

"Whoa."

The two then walked into the Qinghua Palace, and soon came to the emperor's bed, but for the first time they saw the Empress Dowager Zhang blocking in front of the emperor, and said expressionlessly: "The emperor needs to rest, so you can go down first." Imperial Physician Dong on the side nodded, Du Shanbo and Zhang Kuan glanced at each other, except for the inner room, when they came to the living room of the outhouse, they all smiled bitterly.

Driving away the two, Empress Dowager Zhang sat firmly in front of her son and stared at Emperor Dade motionlessly, like all mothers care about their sons, there is no one else in her eyes.

Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't know the general situation, but she is only thirty-nine years old this year, and she was only fourteen years old when she gave birth to Emperor Xuanyuan Zixiao, and she cared more about her first son than anyone else.

The Shenghan Palace has a requirement that concubines must be raised by concubines of a lower level, so the princes have three mothers, one is the queen of the six palaces, who is the queen mother; the second is the biological mother, who is the mother; The third adoptive mother, the mother.

But Emperor Taiqian favored Zhang Guifei, and handed over to a young talent to raise Xuanyuan Zixiao when he was young, and the queen died of illness, and Empress Zhang became the lord of the six palaces, and she favored her son even more, so that Xuanyuan Zixiao had the opportunity to compete for the throne.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang fought for her son's throne several times, Emperor Taiqian favored him and did not regard her as old and decrepit. In fact, today's Empress Dowager Zhang is in her prime of life, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman, coupled with her skillful appearance, it is no wonder that Li Canglan is also fascinated by her.

Empress Dowager Zhang is good to others, but he only dislikes Dushanbo's family to the extreme, and he also knows that he can't offend him at this time, so he ignores it, although he doesn't care about the overall situation, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people know the character of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and they don't care.

Dushanbo agreed with Zhang Kuan outside that the matter of Emperor Dade falling into the water should not be made public, and no news should be transmitted outside the palace, and asked Li Canglan to strengthen the management of the Imperial Forest Army, and asked He Fu, the chief eunuch of the harem, to strictly supervise the palace maids and eunuchs. Li Canglan asked to check the families of the imperial guards, but these fifty or so imperial guards involved most of the nobles of Longdu City, and how could Dushanbo offend them, so he ordered: "Withdraw the Imperial Forest Army outside, only check from the inside, and be sure to find the boatman." ”

"Whoa."

Dushan Bo thought for a while and said, "The guards said that when they saw Chunxi standing behind the emperor, they saw that the emperor had fallen into the water, this Chunxi ...... I'm afraid that there are also suspicions. ”

Zhang Kuan hurriedly said: "Chunxi is suspicious, this person is innocent, and he has been by the emperor's side since he was five years old, and loyalty is absolutely guaranteed." ”

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts." Dushan Bo said, "Canglan, please ask Chunxi to interrogate, this matter must be investigated, and the emperor cannot be humiliated for no reason." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Kuan sighed in his heart, it seems that this eunuch is happy and his life is difficult to protect.

Si Cheng of Wentian Courtyard also hurried over at this time, and Du Shanbo and the two of them hurriedly asked about the recent celestial phenomena, and Si Cheng was embarrassed and did not want to say more. Dushan Bo hurriedly said: "What is the secret? ”

Zhang Kuan also said: "What can't be said? ”

Wentian Yuan Yuan hesitated for a long time, he paced back and forth, looked at the pouring rain outside, sighed, and said in his heart: "After today, there is no place for me Yuan De to stand in Longdu, that's it, that's it, it's okay, leaking the heavenly opportunity, it seems that I don't have much time, it's better to take advantage of this time to travel the mountains and rivers, find a good apprentice, and teach me what I have learned all my life." ”

Dushan Bo said: "Fortune teller, aren't you the first hexagram?" Do you know the recent national fortunes? ”

Yuan De smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty must have encountered an accident." ”

"Huh?" The two were shocked.

Yuan De Yuan Sicheng said again: "Xiao Chen recently watched the sky at night and found that the side of the Emperor Star was accompanied by a great radiance, which caused the Ziwei Emperor Star to dim. This is the strange appearance of the Lord of the Stars, and such strange stars have not been encountered in a hundred years. Great handsome, prime minister, if the companion star continues to shine, the emperor star will become more and more weak. Recently, it rained heavily, and the emperor star covered it, but the minister exhausted his efforts to calculate a hang for the holy Han, and found that this hexagram was the hexagram of Kun Enzelin in the two thousand and forty-eight hexagrams, so it was inferred that His Majesty should have encountered something, but His Majesty should be fine, but he was frightened and sick. ”

"Yuan Sicheng, what kind of hexagram is this Kun Enzelin, why don't I know?" Zhang Kuan hurriedly asked, he is also full of poetry and books, and he knows a little bit about Zhou Yi's calculations, but he only knows sixty-four hexagrams, and has never heard of two thousand and forty-eight hexagrams, and he doesn't know what this Kun Enzelin means.

Although Du Shanbo is a martial artist, he is also quite literary, and after listening to Yuan De's words, he felt that he had the ability, so he asked: "Among the sixty-four hexagrams, how can Kun Enzelin come?" ”
