(Brothers, vote for a wave of guaranteed monthly tickets in your hands)

Qin Wen quietly moved with everyone to the Shangshu Provincial Political Hall outside the Chongyang Gate.

The hall of the government hall is far less open than the Chongwen Hall, but the government hall is only a small part of Shangshu Province, and it is the central meeting place located in Shangshu Province; As the center of the Great Chu government, there are hundreds of government offices in the compound of Shangshu Province.

Shangshu Province is in the imperial city, and the Privy Council, which is the center of military affairs, has a slightly worse defense level than Chongwen Palace, and there are more than 100 armor soldiers on duty in the squad room at ordinary times; At this time, the dormitory duty courtyard and the outside of the compound in Shangshu Province were full of soldiers drawn from the left Wu Xiang army and the left and right Wu Yi armies, guarding the huge courtyard so that not even a fly could leak in.

Seeing this scene, Qin Wen did not have the slightest sense of security in his heart, he knew that people's hearts were the easiest to bewitch, Shen Yang, Yang En, or the biggest drawback of Emperor Yanyou Yang Yuanpu was that at this time, there were no soldiers who could be trusted.

Qin Wen would never believe that there was no one around Yang Yuanpu when he died, and these eunuchs and palace maids who witnessed Yang Yuanpu or Yang Yuanpu was assassinated should have been isolated for strict interrogation now.

However, at this time, Cishou Palace did not show obvious flaws, which means that the people around Yang Yuanpu when he died, and the people who were responsible for isolating these people for interrogation at this time, should be the descendants of Cishou Palace or Lu Qingxia.

Qin Wen thought to himself, over the years, in addition to the Cishou Palace and the Weaving Bureau, Lu Qingxia had secretly arranged a lot of people between the palace and the ban, so he didn't know how deep Lu Qingxia's infiltration of the guards and pro-army was.

However, judging from the existing facts, it seems that mastering military generals has always been a defect of the late Red Mansion; Or maybe the late Red Mansion is better at intrigue and trickery, which is a natural conflict with the senior generals who can really gain a foothold in the army.

This is probably the main reason why the current situation is still optimistic.

Otherwise, Guo Liang or Zhang Han would have directly participated in the palace rebellion, and it would be difficult for Qin Wen to imagine that the imperial city would not evolve into a tragic situation full of blood.

Qin Wen secretly observed, pondered all this in front of him, and walked into Shangshu Province with everyone.

Only then did the ministers have the opportunity to sit in their own rooms and convene their cronies to discuss some matters; Officials with a slightly lower status were to stay in the government hall to listen to orders.

Everyone was talking in a panicked whisper, and they were observing each other's colors, after all, they didn't know who they could trust at this time.

At this time, those who can stand in the courtyard of Shangshu Province are definitely human spirits, even if they are not of high rank, they are definitely human spirits, not to mention that Wang Guifei and the eldest prince are still missing at this time, not to mention how many assassins are hidden between the imperial city and palace, and the assassination case is really not suspicious at all?

I saw it but couldn't say it, and no one was good at discussing the matter of supporting the establishment, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that the new emperor needed to be determined in the next two days, so as not to give Tangyi or Huaidong a chance and excuse to intervene.

"Cishou Palace or use the pressure of the Tangyi army to urge the princes to support the establishment of the second prince?" Qin Wen pretended to be tentative, approached Han Daoming and whispered.

Whoever comes into contact with anyone now may be tempted, but it will not arouse suspicion.

Han Daoming nodded with a calm expression, the imperial city had been completely sealed off by the guards and pro-army, and they could not get in touch with the outside world, and they could only improvise.

Of course, even in the worst-case scenario, it was just for them to endure first, so he didn't believe that Lu Qingxia really dared to kill Jinling City to the point of blood.

To tell the truth, things have developed to this point, Yang Yuanpu is already dead and can't die anymore, but Han Daoming is looking forward to the chaos in Jinling, and then Han Qian leads his troops to cross the river to quell the chaos, and he should control the Gyeonggi and Jiangdong regions more neatly.

Not to mention the Tangyi generals, it is impossible for Han Daoming to miss this opportunity to replace him because the young son that Cishou Palace wants to support is very likely to be the flesh and blood of the Han family.

At all, Han Qian was full of thoughts and tried his best to prevent the Jianghuai land from being torn apart at this time, and he didn't want to fight with Huaidong, and in any case, Tangyi and the Han Mansion could only act according to Han Qian's will at this time.

Before Feng Yi and Guo Qi sneaked back to Jinling this time, Han Daoming didn't expect that Han Qian had secretly deployed so many extremely key shadows in the imperial city and palace city over the years.

When Han Duan and Han Daochang looked at him suspiciously, Qin Wen pulled around and walked to the back of the yasha - as a general secretary of Shangshu Province, he was walking around in Shangshu Province at this time, but it was more convenient than others, and after a while, he walked to the front yard and saw Xue Ruogu running over to find him.

"Shen Xiang called you, where did you go?" Xue Ruogu asked.

Qin Wen didn't rush to say, and followed Xue Ruogu to see Shen Yang.

Shen Yang saw Qin Wen and Xue Ruogu walk in, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Is there anything you have to keep out of sight of others?"

I haven't seen him for a long time, looking at Shen Yang's appearance, he seems to be more than ten years old, and his body is inevitably stiff when he sits there, Qin Wen knows that Yang Yuanpu was assassinated, and it hit him hard.

Qin Wen quietly went to see Qingyang and Yun Puzi just now, and re-edited their rhetoric of "going out of Changxin Palace to avoid trouble", so as not to have too many flaws, at this time, he stepped forward and Shen Yang said: "Wang Guifei almost collided with the assassin in Changxin Palace, fortunately, she and Chongfu Palace made Yun Puzi see that the situation was not right, so she took the eldest prince to escape from Chongfu Gate to find Shen Xiang, but Shen Yuan went to Chongwen Hall with the adults at that time - I was worried that someone in Chongwen Hall secretly colluded with the assassins, so I didn't dare to say it just now, and hid them in the back of the yashu...... ”

"What?" Shen Yang had guessed that there was such a possibility when he saw Qin Qian's mystery before, and he was not particularly shocked at this time, frowning and asking, "What does Princess Wang know?" ”

The number of assassins is definitely not much, the county lord of Qingyang noticed that there were assassins, but did not call the guards in the palace, but directly escaped from the palace with the emperor's eldest son, unless the county lord of Qingyang knew more secrets they did not know and was frightened, otherwise, Shen Yang really couldn't imagine why she chose to leave the palace in a hurry at that time

Avoiding trouble?

"I was in a hurry, and I was afraid to ask something I shouldn't ask, so I didn't ask more." Qin Wen said.

"You go and invite Yang Hou Ye and Shou Wang quietly over, and the others don't alarm first." Shen Yang instructed Xue Ruogudao.

Yang Yuanpu summoned Guo Liang and Huang Wei into the palace in the morning, and suddenly passed a secret decree in the afternoon to go out of the city to escape the summer, how could Shen Yang simply believe that the assassins were sent by the Mugultures?

Among so many ministers, Shen Yang currently only trusts Yang Zhitang and Yang En, and asks Qin Wen and Xue Ruogu to go separately and secretly bring the people on both sides to this house.

Qin Wen also quietly walked to the back of the yasha to find Qingyang and the eldest prince, of course they could not take the initiative to expose the true life experience of Li Zhihe and the second prince, but the county lord of Qingyang could reveal everything she had seen and heard in the past two days, and there was no need to hide anything; Only in this way can Qingyang explain why she fled from Changxin Palace in a hurry like a frightened bird to avoid disaster.

As for how many secrets Shen Yang, Yang En, and Yang Zhitang can dig up in the future, it depends on their ability, or how far they are willing to dig up.

Sometimes for the sake of Da Chu's stability, there are some ugliness and blood, and I can only pinch my nose and pretend not to see it......

…………

…………

Yang En, Yang Zhitang and Shen Yang sat side by side, Qingyang sat the emperor's eldest son opposite Shen Yang, Yun Puzi, Xue Ruowen, and Qin Wen stood aside, the atmosphere was so depressing that they could wring out water, and the sultry weather was even more irritating.

"Uncle Hou, did you say that 'the Marquis of Xinjin and the Marquis of Qianyang seem to be not harmonious, but there is no disharmony in all major matters'?" Yang Zhitang frowned and looked at Yang En and asked.

"How could I have said that? When Chen Ruyi came to see me, Shen Xiang was playing chess with me, and Ruogu and Qin Wen were still watching the chess next to me. Yang En spread his hands and said bitterly.

Although Yang Zhitang is a prince and Yang En is a marquis, when it comes to seniority in the clan, Yang En is Yang Zhitang's uncle.

Yang Zhitang didn't have too many doubts about the words of the county lord of Qingyang, and today's abnormal performance of His Majesty in Cishou Palace, Queen Huang and so many concubines in the harem saw it, and they already knew it.

And there must be some special reason why His Majesty suddenly decided to go out of the city to escape the summer - the royal car out of the city to escape the summer is very alarming, and every year it is arranged and deployed several days in advance, where is it suddenly said to leave?

But these are only suspicions, and there is no direct evidence pointing to anyone, they were more suspicious that His Majesty and the Queen Mother's mother and son had a conflict, and they were taken advantage of by traitors and assassins.

After all, they also secretly observed the reactions of Li Changfeng, Chen De and others, which were heavier and calmer than they imagined, not like they were involved in the conspiracy, and at the same time, they couldn't imagine that Cishou Palace had the motive to choose to attack at this time.

Now that the county lord of Qingyang mentioned Chen Ruyi as a key figure, and Yang En confirmed that Chen Ruyi might indeed be in the middle, Yang Zhitang looked at Shen Yang and Yang En and asked, "Arrest Chen Ruyi for secret interrogation?" ”

"Do you want to tell the others?" Yang En asked with some hesitation.

"No, first interrogate Chen Ruyi." Shen Yang shook his head and said.

He didn't suspect that other families were involved in the assassination, but the assassination had already happened, whether it was the Zheng family, the Han Mansion and Tangyi, the Cishou Palace and Xiangbei, or the Zhang family, what thoughts and actions would they have at this time, Shen Yang really couldn't speculate, and felt that it was better to find out everything secretly.

Yang Zhitang, as a privy envoy, is the only remaining prince, even if he does not transfer the Shuibu army of the Right Dragon Martial Army from Runzhou, there are still manpower available in the imperial city to bypass the guards and pro-army.

Seeing that Shen Yang and Yang En agreed, Yang Zhitang immediately called a cronie and instructed him to avoid the eyes and ears of others, secretly arrest Chen Ruyi and send him here for interrogation.

After Yang Zhitang's cronies left, Qin Wen couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to guard against the side of Cishou Palace?" ”

"Don't startle the snake just yet." Shen Yang shook his head and said.

Qin Wen was secretly anxious and looked at Yang Zhitang and Yang En.

Even if there are enough suspicions, it seems that the two of them still can't imagine that the Queen Mother will have any reason to choose this time to attack her own son?

Seeing the attitude of these three people, Qin Wen could only calm down for a while, so as not to lead the suspicion to his head.

They did not wait for their cronies to go and returned, when they heard a commotion in the courtyard of the front hall of the government hall.

When they walked out, they saw three guards coming, who were reporting to Han Daoming, Zheng Yu, and Zhang Chao there, saying that Chen Ruyi, the regular attendant in the Chongwen Palace, had just been assassinated behind the main hall, and at the same time, there was also a Mughal assassin with a dagger in his chest, and died next to Chen Ruyi.

Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Yang En were so angry that they were not stupid, of course they knew that things were definitely not so simple, but what could they say?

Qin Wen searched the crowd, and he didn't know when Zhou Yuan, Xu Jing and the others had disappeared, and secretly pulled an old official to ask where they were, only to know that when they were in the back of the yasha just now, Zhou Yuan and Xu Jing didn't know what news they heard, and pulled Li Changfeng out.

Qin Wen's heart sank one by one, walked to Shen Yang's side, and said in a low voice: "We seem to be targeted, Zhou Yuan, Xu Jing and the Marquis of Linjin seem to have gone to Chongwen Palace......"

Cishou Palace's killing of Chen Ruyi at this time, as well as the evacuation of Zhou Yuan, Xu Jing and others, can only show that Lu Qingxia has determined that the county lord of Qingyang will meet Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Yang En in Shangshu Province.

Shen Yang's face was solemn, Yang En's heart was full of grief and indignation, and Yang Zhitang's eyes wandered, it was obvious that they realized that the situation was somewhat out of their control.

At this time, they also realized that it was a very wrong decision to leave the Empress Dowager, Chen De, Lu Qingxia and others in the Chongwen Palace, and the ministers and officials of all sizes to move to Shangshu Province.

This means that the Queen Mother, Chen De, Lu Qingxia and others can bypass them and directly give orders to the guards and pro-army.

Although he said before that "it is a chaotic life without going through the political affairs hall", the Queen Mother is still qualified to directly overturn his words, could it be that because of his words, the generals of the guards and pro-army will really regard the Queen Mother's words as "chaotic life".

？

Just like when Han Qian and Li Zhihe bypassed Emperor Yanyou and acted under the edict of the Empress Dowager, who could reprimand them afterwards?

In the end, the key still falls on the generals of the guards.

At present, what can really decide the fate of Great Chu is not the ministers who are usually high-ranking ministers, but the generals of the guards who led more than 40,000 elite generals to seal the imperial city and the palace city.

With real evidence, Shen Yang could directly order the generals to arrest Chen De, Li Changfeng, Li Xiu and others on the spot, and then put the Queen Mother, Lu Qingxia and others under house arrest.

If there is no solid evidence, even if they can persuade Zhang Han, Guo Liang and other guards and pro-army generals to cooperate with them, and remove Chen De, Li Changfeng, Li Xiu and others from their military power as soon as possible, and then detain them and interrogate them slowly, they can also eliminate a big chaos.

But the problem is that they don't have real evidence, so why should they persuade Zhang Han, Guo Liang and their generals to listen to them, instead of the Queen Mother and Lu Qingxia?

Even if any of them were involved in the assassination plot, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Yang En didn't know, what else could they do?

"It's not good, Li Xiu led a team of soldiers from Chongyang Gate, saying that Wang Guifei colluded with the assassins, hid in Shangshu Province, and came to arrest the suspect by the order of the Queen Mother!" A man looked panicked and ran over and shouted.

There were dozens of officials in the courtyard in front of the political affairs hall, and there was a commotion.

Shen Yang, Yang En, and Yang Zhitang turned even pale, but they didn't expect Cishou Palace's actions to be much faster than they imagined, and they even took a direct bite and blamed the Qingyang County Lord for colluding with the assassins.

And once Li Xiu is asked to bring in with his armor and find out the Qingyang County Lord and the Great Prince from Shangshu Province, how many mouths can they distinguish clearly, and they can win the generals of the guards and pro-army to listen to them?

Qin Wen's hands and feet couldn't help but tremble slightly, he didn't expect Lu Qingxia's preemptive method to be so powerful.

He suspected that when the county lord of Qingyang and Yun Puzi were brought to Shangshu Province, the whole process actually fell into the eyes of Cishou Palace, and they were still unaware.

"Nonsense, Shangshu Province is the center of the foreign dynasty, and all the ministers are here, how can you allow the guards and pro-army to say that they will search?" Han Daoming thought that Han Qian had repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to avoid a chaotic situation, and at this time, he could only stand up and shout, and he looked at Zhang Chao again, "Zhang Hou, you say something!" ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Chao, the salt and iron transport envoy.

Zhang Chaonai is the cousin of Zhang Han, the commander of the right Wuyi army, and among the guards and pro-army, in addition to Zhang Han being the leader, there are also many generals from the Zhang family and Langzhou.

Zhang Chao's status is not obvious among the ministers participating in politics, but at such a critical moment, his speech is more effective than Shen Yang and even Yang Zhitang.

Zhang Chao's eyes swept over everyone's faces, he was a little suspicious of Han Daoming's attitude at this time, and hesitated for a while before he said: "It seems that it is better to wait for Li Duyu Marquis to come over, and listen to the Queen Mother's order first?" ”

Seeing Zhang Chao playing such a slippery head, Han Daoming sneered in his heart, he didn't have to think about it, when Li Xiu found out Wang Guifei and the eldest prince from Shangshu Province, Zhang Chao would definitely be the first to stand on the side of Cishou Palace.

Shen Yang hesitated when he saw Yang Zhitang, and Yang En also secretly pulled his shirt at this time.

Shen Yang understood what Yang En meant, at this time, Yang Zhitang must not be allowed to have a chance to withdraw, otherwise the unjust case will never have a chance to be cleared, and they will most likely die without a place to be buried.

Shen Yang stood up and said: "Wang Guifei and the eldest prince are indeed in Shangshu Province at this time, and I have just met with the Marquis of Liyang and King Shou. Wang Guifei accused Chen Ruyi, a regular attendant in the Chongwen Palace, of colluding with the assassins, but we had just secretly sent someone to arrest Chen Ruyi for trial, and the news spread that Chen Ruyi and the assassins died together, and there are too many strange things to find out about this matter - this matter is related to the Great Chu Sheji, and it must not be underestimated......"

Shen Yang did not point the finger directly at the Queen Mother, Lu Qingxia and others, of course Han Daoming knew that he was also trying his best to avoid the situation in the imperial city from getting completely out of control, he stood up and forced Yang Zhitang to ask:

"Lord Shou, is it really as Shen Xiang said?"

In any case, in the minds of the guards and soldiers, the combined weight of Yang Zhitang, Yang En, and Shen Yang is definitely not slightly lighter than that of the Queen Mother.

Whether it is Han Daoming, Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang, they will also be regarded as representatives of the forces of the feudal town.

In the eyes of the guards and generals, it is difficult for them to be trusted when they speak, and they even stand up to confront the Queen Mother, Chen De, Lu Qingxia and others, and they may be splashed with dirty water.

However, at least now, no one should think that Yang Zhitang, Shen Yang, and Yang En would betray Emperor Yanyou and have something to do with the assassination.

"This king has indeed just seen the concubine, and I heard what the concubine said." Yang Zhitang did not deny Shen Yang's words, but he also had reservations when he stood up and spoke at this time.

Shen Yang didn't dare to have too high hopes for Yang Zhitang, seeing that he and Zhang Chao didn't see the opportunity to go directly to Cishou Palace, it was good enough, and immediately motioned to Qin Wen to take someone to invite the Qingyang County Lord, the eldest prince and Yun Puzi out to meet with the ministers.

Of course, Shen Yang guessed that Yang Zhitang and Zhang Chao at this time should not think that Cishou Palace was absolutely not involved in the assassination case, nor did they think that the county lord of Qingyang was really suspected of colluding with the assassins, but they chose neutrality for the time being, and did not directly fall to Cishou Palace, which seemed to have the upper hand in the imperial city, nor did they have clear grievances and bottom lines in their hearts.

In the final analysis, they didn't care about how His Majesty and Empress Li died, but they were worried that everyone in the imperial city would not be able to quickly reach a consensus on the matter of support, which would only lead to the division and internal strife of the guards and pro-army, and then make Jinling City a mess and a river of blood, and finally the yellow finch that came behind.

If the final situation was just for Han Qian to find an excuse to cross the river, how many people present would not be dumbfounded?

Shen Yang also knew in his heart at this time that the legal system or the name was justified, this moment became more important than any moment, and it also made everyone throw a mouse into the trap and dare not move lightly, but Chen Ruyi had been killed, where could they still find evidence against Cishou Palace?

Maybe this is the chaotic situation that the Queen Mother and Lu Qingxia need to see?
