The Privy Council and the Chongwen Hall are separated by a palace wall, and the foreign ministers entering the imperial city and then entering the Chongwen Hall have to pass in front of the Privy Council, Zhao Mingting and Niu Gengru naturally know about Han Daoxun's entry into the palace early in the morning.

Zhao Mingting stepped forward and said:

"Han Daoxun entered the palace early this morning to participate in the internal government bureau and sent people to the two cities to purchase the things used in the palace, often bullying the market and disturbing the people's grievances, and several pieces of paper have been handed to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. When he entered the palace, he rushed to the Inner Government Bureau to order Zhong Yuli to also serve in front of His Majesty, so he grabbed Zhong Yuli and started a lawsuit in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty reprimanded Zhong Yuli to go to Jingzhao Mansion with Han Daoxun to deal with this matter! ”

"It sounds very boring, is it possible that Chen Xingmo missed something or saw something?" Xu Hou asked.

"Chen Xingmo is waiting for His Majesty, and he doesn't dare to leave for a while, Han Daoxun entered the palace to discuss only this matter - when we saw Chen Xingmo just now, we also asked it again, and we shouldn't have missed any news." Niu Gengru stood up at this time and explained for Zhao Mingting.

"Even so, what do you think about this?" Empress Xu glanced at Niu Gengru and asked indifferently.

"If you really want the people of the Inner Government Bureau to be unruly and disturb the people's grievances, with Han Daoxun's temperament, it is possible to participate in the Imperial Palace, after all, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion are not qualified to directly enter the imperial city to arrest the criminals." Niu Gengru said quietly.

"But it can't be ruled out that Han Daoxun's move today is intended to have private contact with Zhong Yuli, isn't it?" Empress Xu's pupils became sharper and sharper, and she stared at Niu Gengru fiercely and asked.

Zhao Mingting stood quietly aside, staring at the tips of his boots exposed under the placket of his official robe, at such a moment, he was only responsible for providing information so that Empress Xu and Niu Gengru could make the final decision, and he did not participate in decision-making.

Of course, in Zhao Mingting's opinion, it is impossible for Niu Gengru not to guess that Han Daoxun entered the palace today and deliberately had private contact with Zhong Yuli, but Niu Gengru flickered at this time, and he probably couldn't make up his mind in his heart to think about the crime of killing the king, right?

"It's time to decide!" Xu Hou didn't entangle with Niu Gengru, and reached out to pluck a flower bone from the plum branch in front of him, and gently flicked it down to the root of the courtyard wall.

"Han Daoxun has been transferred to Beijing for a month, and there has been no change, how can he conclude today that he asked Zhong Yuli to go to Jingzhao Mansion to avoid Chen Xingmo? There are so many places that I can't explain! And Yang Jian, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Wen Duqiao, the deputy envoy of the privy council, Wen Bo and his son, Zhong Yuli, who were on duty in the palace, were loyal to His Majesty, and they held part of the military power, so they could not solve them first, but let them detect the abnormality, and they were very likely to raise troops to fight back. When the time comes, there will be chaos in Jinling, and we may not be able to control the situation! Niu Gengru lowered his voice and persuaded.

At this time, there were more than 100,000 people stationed in and outside Jinling City, and there were less than 20,000 people in their direct control, including the guards of the Prince's East Palace.

Although Niu Gengru believed that Xu Hou had more or less some arrangements that he couldn't see through over the years, he believed in absolute strength control.

The remaining forbidden army and the guards accounted for eighty percent of the Jinling garrison, and the vast majority of the generals were drawn out by His Majesty, even if some people would ride the wall and watch, and even some generals were afraid that the Shouzhou soldiers would be strong and strong, and would follow his advice and choose to support the prince, but Yang Jian, Yang En, Zhong Yuli, and the seemingly old and faint Wen Duqiao and his son Wen Bo The reactions of these people, Niu Gengru was completely unpredictable.

Shouzhou and Chuzhou contain each other, and have to guard against the Liang army stationed in Caizhou, there is no way to mobilize Shouzhou soldiers and horses in advance, he does not advocate doing it now, in addition to not wanting to bear the eternal crime of killing the king, he does not dare to easily try the risk of backlash brought by killing the king, he hopes that His Majesty will "become increasingly ill", and then one day "die of illness", and the prince can justifiably ascend the throne and succeed to the throne.

"Although there are too many places that are still unclear and incomprehensible, I have followed His Majesty through ups and downs over the years, and I don't know how many open guns and hidden arrows I have blocked, you have to believe my strong intuition as a woman,"

Empress Xu seemed to feel a hint of chill, grabbed the brocade cloak tightly, and curled up slightly, revealing a more awe-inspiring murderous aura.

"Regardless of whether Han Daoxun has peeked into the truth of Shen He's death or not, but with the current situation in Jinling, Han Qian, as Jing Zhaoyin, has too many things to do, how can he waste his limited energy on trivial cases? If he was involved in other matters, it would be normal for him to take a copy of the Inner Government Bureau by the way, how could he specifically disturb His Majesty's nourishment with such trivial matters? In addition, don't think that you can really hide everything from the world if you do everything secretly, think about it, Your Majesty has been fighting all his life, and he has no intuition about dangerous killing skills, and he has no understanding of his own physical condition? Shen He returned from Tanzhou and died of illness, he not only transferred Han Daoxun to Jingli to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, but also ordered Zhong Yuli to serve him from time to time, and he should have been alert at that time. And today, for this little thing, he reprimanded Zhong Yuli, who is usually favored, to follow Han Daoxun to Jingzhao Mansion for training and this grievance, how could it be normal? If you really want to wait until everything is clear and thorough, and then you do it, I'm afraid that the second and third sides will come to the city. ”

Niu Gengru's face was pale, although he had thought about taking a step thousands of times before, but he didn't expect that when he really made up his mind, his intuition couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In the palace city, Cishou Palace and Anning Palace are the farthest apart, and it can even be said that they are the two buildings that are the farthest apart.

However, climbing the side wall of the west courtyard of Cishou Palace, passing through the eaves of the majestic and majestic Chonghua Palace, you can just see the corner of the road in and out of Anning Palace, and no one thought that this would be an excellent corner to observe the movement of Anning Palace from Cishou Palace.

Chun Shi Niang put away the bronze goggles that Fei Laozi asked for from Han Qian, walked down the wooden ladder, and whispered. "The one in the Anning Palace, today suddenly summoned Niu Gengru and Zhao Mingting into the palace, I don't know what conspiracy they are discussing?"

Knowing that Han Daoxun was transferred to Jinling as Jing Zhaoyin as soon as possible, Chun Thirteen Niang and Yao Xishui rushed back to Jinling first. At this time, they were the adopted daughters of Zhang Ping, the chamberlain and the Tan Wangfu, and were recruited by the concubine as the history of the palace maids, and they were allowed to enter and leave the palace.

In the previous dynasty, there was a precedent for the daughter of a conscripted minister to enter the palace as a palace official.

Now that the three princes are in full swing, the concubine follows the precedent, and in the name of conquest, she transfers a few female officials from Tanwang's Mansion to her side, and no one will stop her.

In addition to Chun Thirteen Niang, Yao Xishui and Mrs. Hei Sha, who hid in the palace as the envoy of Cishou Palace, were accompanying the concubine to stand in front of the pavilion, and when she heard what Chun Thirteen Niang had observed, she frowned slightly, guessing that Empress Xu suddenly summoned Niu Gengru and Zhao Mingting into the Anning Palace today.

Although Empress Xu is different from other harem concubines, as the mother of a country, in the process of the establishment of Great Chu, she and the Xu family have made great achievements, and have the privilege of summoning ministers in the palace, but even if it is to establish rules for other concubines, it is extremely rare for Empress Xu to directly summon ministers to the palace for deliberations.

Anyway, there are a large number of descendants from the Xu family in the Inner Service Province, and it is also convenient for Empress Xu to send a descendant to pass on the news, so as not to worry that the news passed on will fall into the ears of others.

"Han Daoxun entered the palace early this morning to participate in the Inner Mansion Bureau, and then took Zhong Yuli to Jingzhao Mansion to theorize, is it related to the sudden summoning of Niu Gengru and Zhao Mingting into the Anning Palace by the surname Xu?" Mrs. Shifei Wang asked.

There are many eunuchs waiting in Chongwen Palace, so the matter of Han Daoxun entering the palace early in the morning is no secret in the palace at this moment.

Seeing that Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang couldn't answer, Concubine Shi asked anxiously: "Tell me more, what are the thoughts of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son?" ”

The concubine was favored at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to the prince at the age of seventeen, at this time in the past seventeen years, she was only thirty-four years old, at the most gorgeous age of a woman, but she was dressed solemnly, and she was suppressed by the Anning Palace in the palace for many years, her heart was gloomy, and her face was not as radiant as it should be, but it looked a little cold and gloomy.

Zhao Wuji rushed to Jinling with fifty parts on the eve of the previous year, and Yao Xishui got the news in Jinling as soon as possible, speculating that Han Qian should have made such an arrangement after Han Qian sent an envoy to Shu and learned the news of his father's transfer to Jinling in Shudu.

After all, Zhao Wuji accompanied Han Qian to envoy Shu State, and Yao Xishui was clear about it.

However, it is precisely because of this that they are becoming more and more confused in their hearts, and a lot of information is contradictory and conflicting when they think about it, and it is difficult for her to answer the concubine's questions.

Yao Xishui sighed for a while and said: "Maybe you need to write a letter to Tanzhou and ask Hou Ye what is going on, Han Qian is very likely to have something to hide from us." ”

When the four girls were puzzled, an old eunuch walked into the backyard of Cishou Palace with a dust whisk in his hand, and said to the princess and his wife: "Your Royal Highness sent a messenger back to Jinling, and just sent a little eunuch into the palace to pass the word, saying that His Royal Highness greeted his mother with him, and there was something important to present to his mother......"

Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang looked at each other, I don't know who came back, what can't be written directly in the letter, must meet the concubine directly?

Is it Chai Jian or Li Chong who came back from Tanzhou?

The concubine is not as good as Empress Xu, and she does not have the privilege of directly summoning ministers in the palace.

In addition to the fact that it is more convenient for female dependents to enter and exit, it is not impossible for the concubine to summon male ministers in the palace, but the procedure is extremely troublesome, and the internal servant must be alarmed.

"Let's go to His Highness's Mansion first and see what happened!" Yao Xishui said hesitantly.

"No," Concubine Shi shook her head, she could perceive that the current situation was too weird, she couldn't stay in Cishou Palace for a moment to wait for news, and said to the old eunuch who came to Tongyu, "You go to Chongwen Hall now, tell Your Majesty that this palace is tired of living in the palace, and you want to go to Tanwang Mansion to get together with Yao'er for two days, please ask Your Majesty for permission......"
