Dou Huainan was not Zhuang Yong's person from the beginning, and even this person was not in the sight of His Majesty the Emperor at the beginning, but he was the most important person, if the whole overall situation is regarded as a formation, then Dou Huainan is the eye of the formation, if the whole overall situation is regarded as a carriage, Dou Huainan is the wheel axle.

This person came out of nowhere, and after Bai Shangnian found him, he immediately reported it to Zhuang Yong, and then this person began to enter the sight of His Majesty the Emperor, and the degree to which the emperor cared about this person was as important as the weight of this bureau, because if this person was used well, everything could be done.

Who would have thought that it is often the inconspicuous little people who change the overall situation.

At the beginning, Bai Shangnian must have never imagined that Dou Huainan would really not be moved by money and beauty, or that Dou Huainan acted very well, Zhuang Yong was an old fox Bai Shangnian, wasn't it? can turn Bai Shangnian's deception around, it is by no means mediocre.

Zhuang Yong once asked Dou Huainan: "They promised you a high-ranking official and a bright future, why weren't you moved?" ”

Dou Huainan replied at the time: "I am the Jinshi and the first in the twelfth year of Daning Tiancheng, I have seen Your Majesty with my own eyes during the palace examination, so I know very well what position I should stand in, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he is the strongest monarch in the history of Daning, although I have only seen His Majesty once, I firmly believe that what Bai Shangnian and his ilk want to do is doomed to failure, even if I really stand on their side, I will also fail." ”

Zhuang Yong said: "Your Majesty said that you are the most important link in the position, and Your Majesty is very accurate in seeing people." ”

Dou Huainan shook his head: "Your Majesty is." ”

Several years have passed, and Zhuang Yong still clearly remembers this conversation at that time.

Only people who are blindfolded by the lust for profit will feel that His Majesty can be easily defeated, and will feel that they can subvert His Majesty's imperial power, such as Mu Zhaotong, such as Bai Shangnian, and like the queen mother who has lived in the deep palace for 18 years.

What is the cause of all this?

Palace.

The precious concubine stood behind the emperor and squeezed his shoulder, she knew very well what kind of strength His Majesty liked, and she also knew where it would be more comfortable for His Majesty to pinch it for a while, if there was another person in this world who was closest to His Majesty's heart, then it could only be her.

It was many years ago.

"I may be about to find our children."

The emperor who closed his eyes and recuperated suddenly said such a sentence, the precious concubine's hand was slammed hard, and the emperor frowned slightly, not to blame her, but to know how much this sentence touched her, so the emperor raised his hand and patted the back of the precious concubine's hand: "If it is really him, the child's life is really big." ”

The precious concubine's face turned pale, her eyes were in a trance, and she suddenly cried.

The emperor hurriedly pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap for a while to comfort her.

"I still can't believe that a person can be so vicious for the so-called status, back then she knew that I liked you the most, and I married her only because of my father's will, so she was afraid, I heard that I was going to enter Beijing, I heard that you also gave birth to a son, she was afraid that her son would not be able to become the heir to the throne, and she was afraid that you would take away her queen's seat...... I was curious, and now that I think back to what she had done that day, she regrets it or not, and she is not afraid. ”

That's why.

The queen did this on the spur of the moment, and it was not a far-sighted plan.

But once this thing is done, the entire descendant clan can only be pulled onto the boat by her, and will spare no effort to support her, even if the descendant clan has been suppressed by the emperor in the past twenty years and can't raise their heads at all, they can still only bet all their bets on the queen, if the queen is still the queen, they are at least the descendants, if the queen is not even the queen anymore, what are they?

It seems that what happened in the palace back then has nothing to do with today's current situation, but in fact, the root cause was that night.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I promised you, I won't give up."

"Your Majesty......"

The precious concubine seemed to be too excited, and she just kept crying.

After a long time, the emperor calmed her and stopped crying, and he should go back to deal with official business after calculating the time, he explained a few words to the palace maid, and instructed the imperial dining room to boil some rice porridge for the precious concubine, and asked people to send the imperial doctor to come and take a look, and then left.

After the emperor left, the precious concubine sat alone at the window and was stunned for a long time, her face never recovered, she looked at the sky outside, her hand held on to the windowsill, and her fingers were a little white.

"Child, it turns out that you are still alive, you are still alive."

She bit her lip tightly and bit out the blood without realizing it.

Gangnam Province, Yeonpyeong Island, Taehu Lake.

Zhuang Yong found that he didn't dare to face the black eye, although he knew that he had done nothing wrong, he still didn't dare to face it.

He didn't know in advance, where did he expect that Ye Liuyun's hand would really stretch out so long, and he actually dared to plant eyeliner in the battle ranks, if this was His Majesty's request, then he should have been informed in advance that there was an internal response in the Yizi Battalion, which obviously even His Majesty didn't know, but Ye Liuyun made his own decisions.

There is no communication box in the Otoko camp?

Zhuang Yong couldn't help but think about it, was it because Ye Liuyun guessed that there was no Tongwen box in Yizi's camp to arrange it like this? However, there is a communication box in the Yizi battalion, and now there are communication boxes in the 20 guards of Daning, where there is none, there must be one among the soldiers.

Moreover, this news box also conveyed the information that Bai Shangnian might rebel to His Majesty, but Bai Shangnian was extremely cautious from beginning to end, there was no evidence, no evidence.

Zhuang Yong didn't know who the news box in Yizi's camp was, and he didn't know that Ye Liuyun had arranged someone.

It's not a line, that's why we have today's tragedy.

But is Ye Liuyun wrong?

"Don't blame the general."

The black eye took a deep breath and turned his head to look away: "It's my brother's own life that is not good." ”

Zhuang Yong sighed.

The black eyes didn't stay long before leaving, Shen Leng knew that it was impossible for him to calm down in a short period of time, and it was extremely difficult to restrain himself to such a point, he needed to find a place to be quiet and cry alone.

"What about Shen Xiaosong?"

After the black eyes left, Zhuang Yong was obviously relieved, every time such a person appeared, Zhuang Yong couldn't help but think of the time when he sealed the inkstone in northern Xinjiang, that fight, those men who sacrificed their lives for the country, iron-clad but pitiful, at that time, His Majesty couldn't protect them when he first ascended to the throne, they were more aggrieved and wronged than the wind of death.

So Zhuang Yong could only change the topic and ask Shen Leng where Shen Xiaosong went.

"I don't know."

Shen Leng shook his head: "Mr. left with tea yesterday, saying that he was going to do a big thing." ”

Zhuang Yong's brows furrowed even deeper: "What else is bigger than your life and death?" This Taihu Lake is full of murderous opportunities, with Shen Xiaosong's concern for you, he shouldn't leave, if you leave, there will definitely be something bigger than what you are experiencing now. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yong suddenly reacted to something, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Leng knew that Mr. had a lot of things to hide from him, and the tea master knew that he would not tell him, and this time Mr. Shen left with the tea master inexplicably, and he couldn't figure it out.

"I really don't know."

Shen Leng looked at Zhuang Yong: "Maybe you know more about me, Mr. than myself, more tea than myself, and even you are the general more than me." ”

Zhuang Yong turned his head, avoiding Shen Leng's gaze as if avoiding the sight of the black eyes just now, and said with some confidence: "You just remember that Shen Xiaosong treats you like a son, as for the rest, you don't need to care, Shen Xiaosong and Cha'er are leaving at this time, it is not a good thing for you." ”

Shen Leng knew what Zhuang Yong meant, and the consequences of killing Mu Xiaofeng would soon be highlighted, if Mr. went to settle the tea, it was indeed the safest way.

"Your Majesty will be embarrassed too."

Zhuang Yong's gaze returned to Shen Leng's face: "The courtiers who make His Majesty embarrassed are not qualified courtiers." ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, he has never been a typical loyal minister, he will do the right thing for this Daning and His Majesty, and do what should be done, but once it comes to his own life and death, when it comes to the life and death of Mr. and Tea Master, he will immediately take them away, far away.

Zhuang Yong couldn't wait for Shen Leng's answer, so he had to continue by himself: "Don't forget that you are a Tongwen box, and your pen is sharper and heavier than your knife." ”

Shen Leng lowered his head and looked at his hands: "Unfortunately, the pen is sharp and the hand is not effective." ”

Zhuang Yong sighed: "Will it be copied?" ”

Shen sneered: "This should be." ”

At the same time, in a ferry boat on the Nanping River, Cha Ye didn't understand why Mr. insisted on taking her away from Yanping Island in Taihu Lake, Leng Zi might be in danger, how could she rest assured that she was gone.

"Leng Zi will be fine, can't you see that Zhuang Yong is confident? I still know this person, there was no panic in his eyes from beginning to end, so he took the initiative in this matter from beginning to end, there will be no accidents on Yanping Island, and Zhuang Yong will not let Leng Zi have an accident, I will take you away because Leng Zi's danger is not today, but tomorrow, not in Jiangnan Province on Yanping Island, but in Chang'an City. ”

Mr. Shen lowered his head: "I still remember returning from Tingtai Mountain, I told you that there is a person you must remember in the future, once there is a situation that we can't control, we must go to this person, only this person can keep Leng Zi, Mu Xiaofeng is dead, Mu Zhaotong will be like a mad dog...... I'll take you to Chang'an to meet that person, and I'll ...... If something happens to me in the future, you have to remember the road and remember the people, and Leng Zi will have to rely on you in the future. ”

"Sir, don't talk nonsense, how can something happen to sir."

"Of course I won't be fine, but everything must be prepared in advance, that noble person is enough to influence Your Majesty, and in the final analysis, the person who saves Leng Zi can only be Your Majesty, so we have to go to Chang'an quickly, and we can't delay for a moment."

"But didn't the gentleman say that things were complicated back then? Maybe that noble person may not be willing to help Leng Zi, she has been very afraid of the queen from beginning to end. ”

"She has a bad background, she was afraid of the princess when she stayed in the palace, it was common to be beaten and scolded, and the king was protected several times, but after all, there were times when she was not at home, and she was afraid of the queen in her bones and did not dare to resist."

Mr. Shen sighed: "I can't take care of that much, this time it is life and death for Leng Zi, he is still too impulsive to kill Mu Xiaofeng, if he ......"

Mr. Shen shook his head, and the rest of the words did not come out.

As a last resort, I will enter the university scholar's mansion with one sword and one sword.
