Chapter 134: Regret for not cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
Yan Shu has become the only owner of the harem, she doesn't have any shelf, and the palace people who were still trembling at the beginning of the new queen have become more and more fond of this queen after getting along with each other for a while. She doesn't care about it, she doesn't pick thorns at will, but at the same time, she is also a person who is both gracious and powerful, so everyone likes and is convinced.
Yan Shu was leading the palace people to clean the Yilan Palace, she was finishing a stick of incense on He Yi's tablet, and the little eunuch beside her ran in in a hurry, almost crashing into He Yi's tablet, but fortunately stopped his feet in time, otherwise he was estimated to be beaten to death by Yan Shu, and he himself was startled.
But this is not the time to dwell on this, and it is the most important thing to quickly tell the queen what happened: "Queen Mother, there is an urgent report at the border, and someone at the border is rebelling." Yan Shu is a little suspicious of her ears now. Although she didn't have much information about the border when she was in Bihai Palace, she didn't have any problems at the border until General Si Kou quelled the border chaos in one fell swoop many years ago.
However, it has been more than ten years, and there are always some unstable factors that are about to start to be active, and there are always people who think that the new emperor is a soft persimmon. Yan Shu was indeed shocked before, but soon she calmed down and asked in a whisper who was the opposite?
The little eunuch was also ordered by Yanshu to send some food to the emperor, and after listening to it, he probably ran back, and he couldn't say a word or two. Yan Shu finally gave up and ran to the Qinzheng Hall by herself.
The soldiers on patrol saw a figure running quickly, and they must have chased and fought fiercely before they wanted to put it aside, but now they looked at the back and calmly patrolled again. Since this queen and the new imperial guard Yinshuang arrived in this palace, this person has used light skills to fly up and down, which is not too sparse and ordinary.
This Yan Shu is still a measured person, as long as it is not a hundred thousand urgent, he will not do this, but Yinshuang will not, if he knows light skills, it seems that he can't walk well, if he wants to say that the palace is too big, he has a hard time walking.
When Yan Shu arrived at the door, she noticed the tense atmosphere in the Qinzheng Palace, General Si Kou, the two young masters of the Si Kou family and He Junjing were all there, and several people were going to salute when they saw the queen coming, Yan Shu immediately waved her hand and signaled that she didn't need to, she really didn't dare to accept these gifts. She raised her eyes and looked at Lan Qiong behind the bookcase, this was also the first time Lan Qiong saw herself coming, and she didn't smile at herself.
Yan Shu walked quickly behind Lan Qiong and asked softly, "What's wrong with the border?" At first, she thought that it was just a rebellion, this Tengxiao country has a strong army and there is no shortage of generals with troops, so there is no need to be afraid at all, just call back, but it was not until she heard Lan Qiong's words and saw the letter on the bookcase that she realized the seriousness of the problem.
The rebel on the border was the youngest brother of the Queen Mother, and he was not a master of peace in his early years. In his early years, he made a mistake and was sent to the border by the emperor with a royal order, but the queen mother begged for a long time, and the emperor still gave him a position. He has been at the border for too long, and he is a cunning person, but he has formed relationships with many people in the past ten years. Now that he is running around with those people, he is not afraid of rebellion alone, but he actually holds the princess of Tengxiao Kingdom hostage, the female general who is about to come back in Lan Jing's mouth.
Lan Qiong slapped the bookcase as she spoke, and said angrily: "This damn Liang Shi actually held Lan Ying hostage, why can't he come directly at me!" ”
Rebels and rebels always have to have some chips in their hands, how can they be stupid and go to Lan Qiong? Yan Shu looked at the ministers below, remembered Si Kouyu at the border, and asked tentatively: "What about General Si Kouyu, isn't he at the border?" ”
Si Kouzhan shook his head: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid you don't know that Princess Lan Ying was held hostage when she was planning to return to the country with Xiao'er, Xiao'er didn't bring anyone with her when she went to the border, and now there are some old generals left there who I left there, and I can't do anything." ”
All of a sudden, the air fell silent, so quiet that even the sound of human breathing could be heard clearly. At this time, Yinshuang, who pushed the door in, broke the silence, and when Lan Qiong saw that it was him, she immediately asked, "Was Liang Shi sent to the border because of my mother's incident many years ago?" The eagerness and worry in his tone made people's hearts twitch slightly.
Silver Frost sighed invisibly and said, "Most of the people who were involved in the matter of the former empress were sent and secretly killed by the regent, and many things cannot be verified. However, it is reported that the time of Liang Shi's demotion is indeed very close to the time of the death of the former empress. Moreover, Liang Shi also frequently went in and out of the palace to meet the Queen Mother, so it should be related. ”
Lan Qiong was extremely remorseful when she heard it, and muttered in her mouth: "It's all because I was soft-hearted at the beginning, and I didn't implicate the Queen Mother's family outside, so that today's incident happened, if I listened to all of the sixth brother, how good it would be to kill them all, it wouldn't be like this!" ”
Everyone sighed, who would have thought of implicating a person who had been at the border for more than ten years?
Now is not the time to regret, it is more important to find a way to save the princess. Now there is only Si Kouyu on the border with some veterans in a stalemate with Liang Shi, and now he must send someone to support Si Kouyu. If this is the best choice to kill the enemy, it must be General Si Kou, but the current situation is not so simple.
Liang Shi knew that he couldn't turn against Lan Qiong, he was an outlaw who didn't care. The princess will die at any time in his hands, which involves the affairs of the royal family, and it is not appropriate for General Si Kou to go, it is better to find a mouth to negotiate with Liang Shi clearly, so that the princess is safer.
Yan Shu looked around the hall, and finally her eyes fell on Si Kouqing, who had been sitting silently on the side. To say that the closest relationship with the royal family in the court is the Si Kou family and the He family, and the clearest and most scheming person in these two families is, of course, Si Kouqing.
At a young age, he became the secretary of the Criminal Department, and since the day he took office, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, expecting him to take a step, but unfortunately, he didn't give anyone a chance, and everyone was clear about his resourcefulness for more than a year. Therefore, Yan Shu thinks that the best candidate to go to the border is Si Kouqing······
Si Kouqing noticed Yan Shu's gaze and slipped straight up, Yan Shu didn't retract his gaze, but asked, "I wonder if Si Koushang is willing to go to the border?" Si Kouqing smiled when he heard Yan Shu's question.
Lan Qiong was stunned, her eyes wandered back and forth between Yan Shu and Si Kouqing, frowned, and interrupted decisively: "No, Si Kouyu is still at the border, you can't let Si Kouqing go!" ”
Saying this sentence is Lan Qiong's naivety, this tone is full of distrust of Si Kou Yu's ability, and if this Si Kou Qing doesn't go, it will be General Si Kou, who of these two people is not from Si Kou's family? Lan Qiong was gagged by Yan Shu's question, and she didn't know what to say.
In fact, his original intention was not like this, there was an entanglement between Si Kouqing and Lan Ying that Yan Shu didn't know, he felt that it was inappropriate for Si Kouqing to go, so he said this, and after saying it, he felt that the logic didn't make sense.
Si Kouqing obviously saw Lan Qiong's entanglement, closed his fan, stepped forward and leaned over and said, "The minister will go and prepare, and he will definitely bring the princess back intact!" ”
