Mrs. Gong grabbed the arm of the Prime Minister of the Palace: "Does Xiangye really want to enter the palace, he may fall into the trap this time." ”

She was worried that Prime Minister Gong would be gone forever.

"There is no other way now, and disobedience is a capital crime." The palace minister was like a mirror, and swore that "don't worry, the emperor will not touch me for a while, Yunlan Kingdom and other small surrounding countries are already plotting to attack the southern end, and it is the time to employ people, and the emperor can only endure it." ”

Prime Minister Gong was only annoyed that he had not prepared in advance and was trapped in the capital, otherwise he would definitely not have complied easily.

If you want to blame all this, you can only blame Chu Yunning for being too treacherous, and she calculated herself quietly.

This revenge is not a gentleman, but for now, this account can only be endured temporarily.

"You pack up your things as soon as possible, bring some light ones, and leave the capital with a few children as soon as you have the opportunity, without you as a bond, you are not afraid of anything!"

Prime Minister Gong was very unwilling to say that sooner or later, one day he would let Chu Yunning also taste the taste of fear!

In desperation, Mrs. Gong had no choice but to nod: "Don't worry, Xiangye." ”

After the words fell, the prime minister of the palace walked on the street alone, slowly walking in the direction of the palace, and happened to meet the general of the dart flag on the way, the two stopped for a while, and looked at each other: "Grandpa Guo is going to enter the palace?" ”

The prime minister was promoted to the prince of the country and became a knight for generations, which is a great honor.

Prime Minister Gong glanced at General Dart Banner lightly: "I haven't congratulated the Protector General yet, this is a real general." ”

Both of them saw the ridicule in each other's eyes, and entered the palace side by side to thank the emperor, and the general said: "What the prime minister promised before was not done, and the emperor was suspicious of the dart banner mansion, and the royal forest army that we harmed suffered a lot of losses, and the emperor not only did not blame, but promoted you and me, what does this mean?" ”

"Why should the general pretend to be confused, they are all here to thank him."

The current palace prime minister doesn't believe anyone, how can he be sure that General Dart Banner is an enemy or a friend, maybe it was sent by the emperor to confuse him.

"Xiangye, you and I have always been people in the same boat, even if the emperor doesn't move you and me now, when the situation is stable, what will happen to you and me?"

General Dart Banner was annoyed, and he was also confused by Prime Minister Gong at the beginning, so he caused today's situation.

Prime Minister Gong closed his lips and was silent, no matter what General Dart Banner said, he refused to respond to half a sentence, the pace gradually accelerated, General Dart Banner didn't know what was happening, and quickly chased forward, and said to Prime Minister Gong: "Xiangye, for today's plan, only the two of us are together, maybe we can make the emperor jealous." ”

Suddenly, Prime Minister Gong stopped, staring at General Dart Banner with a solemn face, his eyes seemed to see through this person, and the other party was a little flustered except for his expression, allowing him to look at it.

"Since ancient times, kings have been suspicious, originally I had an army of 30,000, but now it's good, I only have an inflated title of protector general, nothing, and the guards around me have all been unstabbed, such a situation, Xiang Ye still can't understand?"

Xu was moved by General Dart's words, and the palace prime minister looked around to confirm that there were no suspicious people around him, so he lowered his voice and said: "It is not the emperor who calculates you and me, what kind of character is the emperor, if he has this ability, he will not endure humiliation to this day." ”

This sentence directly mentioned the Dart Banner General: "You mean Chu Shang Palace?" ”

For most of the past half a year, Emperor Mingwen has only one Chushang Palace by his side, first managing the harem, and then entering and leaving the palace from time to time, and he also sees the changes in Emperor Mingwen little by little.

"The general has been in contact with Chu Shang Palace?" Prime Minister Gong was very surprised, and the other party was the first to suspect Chu Yunning.

General Dart Banner nodded: "At the beginning, Jingniang of Yihong Mansion was the one who looked for my wife in private, and united with Jing Zhaoyin, so she set a trap for Jingniang, forced Jingniang to hide in the palace, and finally died tragically in the palace. ”

He never underestimated this woman, but it was only limited to the calculations between the harem and women, but he didn't expect her to be so effective in the matter of fighting between men, which was really impressive.

Prime Minister Gong touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Xiangye, will we be detained when we enter the palace?" The general asked worriedly.

The palace prime minister immediately stopped and walked back, whether the guess is true or not, it is always right to be cautious, an hour later, the palace prime minister changed his dress, wearing plain clothes, and tied hemp rope around his waist, with dozens of minions all the way, beating gongs and drums to the palace, and the slave headed by him was still holding a tablet in his arms, and the spirit of his beloved daughter Gong Shu'er was written on it.

……

"This old fox!" Chu Yunning hummed, Concubine Shu didn't charge Concubine Shu with any crime when she died, so it's not wrong to cry for Concubine Shu.

Originally, she planned to let the prime minister enter the palace in the name of the death of Concubine Shu and catch turtles in an urn, but she didn't expect that the old fox would delay and refuse to enter the palace on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

Now that King Huai has not been caught, Emperor Mingwen can't easily move the palace prime minister, and he can't even ask for guilt.

The palace prime minister entered the palace so vastly, if he died in the palace in vain, Emperor Ming Wen could not explain to the palace prime minister's subordinates, and it would also cause King Huai to wonder if it was a trap before.

Therefore, Prime Minister Gong can't act rashly easily.

"This old fox!" Emperor Mingwen angrily put the teacup in his hand on the table, and his heart was painful: "We finally deployed all this, do we have to let him escape in vain?" ”

Chu Yunning frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the plan for today is to appease the prime minister, lest he make any radical moves, we have limited troops, minimize losses, solve external troubles first, and then eradicate internal worries when everything is stable." ”

The two cannot be solved at the same time.

Emperor Mingwen had no choice but to issue an order to posthumously crown Concubine Shu as the queen, and give a rich burial.

"I guess that Prime Minister Gong's entry into the palace this time is not just as simple as thanksgiving, and the minister is worried that he will create some trouble."

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows.

"If King Huai hears something, he may come back at any time, if that's the case, it will be tricky, the capital has less than 50,000 troops, if it is hard, he can only hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, it is really not cost-effective."

So you have to think of a way to get both, and you can be shameless when necessary.

"It can let people release all kinds of signals to go out, so that King Huai can't tell the truth from the fake, and he doesn't dare to act rashly."

She has not studied the character of King Huai, and now she can only give it a try, as long as King Huai does not enter Beijing and goes farther, then she is not afraid of the threat of the palace prime minister.

"Find beggars in the whole capital and spread these news all the way, so that King Huai can't find the source."

Emperor Mingwen nodded: "Just do it according to your law." ”

As soon as the words fell, the news came from outside that the palace prime minister and the general of the dart flag had entered the palace to meet together, and Emperor Mingwen was in a good mood and said in a deep voice: "Xuan! ”

After a while, the two entered the council hall together, and when the palace minister saw Emperor Mingwen, his eyes were red, and he complained of grievances with a handful of snot and tears; "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and his body has not been good recently, at first glance, I heard that my daughter was lost suddenly, and I couldn't accept the blow, and I collapsed, so I couldn't thank the emperor for a long time, and asked the emperor to punish the old minister heavily."

As soon as the words fell, the general also knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, betrayed by the deputy general under his command, and the last general who was killed almost lost his life, thank you for the emperor's trust in canonizing the last general, I am really ashamed to be the title of the general who protects the country, and I ask the emperor to revoke it." ”

The two of you are crying one by one, how aggrieved you look are, how aggrieved you are, and those who don't know think they are really wronged.

Emperor Mingwen yawned, slowly got up and personally helped the two of them to stand up: "I am convinced of the two Aiqing, and I will never listen to the slander and wronged the two." ”

said to the palace prime minister: "The concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she has been considerate to me all these years, managing the harem for me, and suddenly died violently, I am also very heartbroken. ”

As soon as he said this, Prime Minister Gong immediately burst into tears, all of them were full and crystalline, and even his eyes were red, Chu Yunning was stunned when he saw this, he was definitely at the level of an actor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a total of two daughters...... "The palace prime minister cried silently, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen: "It's that the two of them are not blessed, they can't always accompany the emperor, the old minister doesn't blame the emperor, the entire southern end is the emperor, and the monarch wants the minister to die." ”

This style of painting is a little off, and he says that he is not to blame, but the implication is that Emperor Mingwen forced the palace family to death.

Emperor Mingwen pretended not to hear it, and said: "Concubine Shu Guifei was still talking about the prime minister and his wife before she died, I have invited the monks of the national temple overnight, for the sake of Concubine Shu's excess, I plan to let the prime minister and his wife stay in Yikun Palace together until the end of the excess." ”

The palace prime minister was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Madame's body is not good, and the old minister is only worried that Madame will see things and think about people, she really can't bear this blow, and ask the emperor to raise his noble hand." ”

"Aiqing, doesn't Madam even want to see the last side of the concubine, this is the concubine's last wish, I have already promised the concubine, how can I be the son of heaven without believing in my words?"

Emperor Mingwen bent down and put his hands on the shoulders of the palace prime minister, pulling the person up, the palace prime minister slowly stood up, and looked at Emperor Mingwen, and was suddenly startled by the dark eyes in his eyes like an abyss.

"This ......"

"Aiqing rest assured, I will enlighten the palace lady to mourn, come on, take the prime minister to Yikun Palace, and the lady will come in a while, and there is no need to come to the political palace, I will visit the lady."

The meaning of this is to tell Prime Minister Gong that people are already on the way, and it is useless to refuse.

I don't know why Prime Minister Gong subconsciously looked at Chu Yunning, he always felt that the woman in front of him was like a monster with a big mouth, no matter what you decide, she would eat it in one bite and leave no room for it.

"Don't worry, if Mrs. has a headache and brain fever, I will definitely arrive as soon as possible no matter when, and I will never delay Mrs. Xiangye." Chu Yunning looked at the prime minister of the palace and smiled at the other party.

Prime Minister Gong snorted: "This doesn't bother Chu Shanggong." ”

When the words fell, the prime minister of the palace left the council hall, and as soon as the people left, the general of the dart flag panicked inexplicably, and pretended to look up at Emperor Mingwen calmly; "Your Majesty, the last general heard that someone deliberately took refuge in the name of the last general

King Huai, the king of Huai, who was almost harmed, entered the city, fortunately, General Chu was resourceful and noticed that something was wrong in time to stop this loss in time, and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

"You are also unintentional, how can I blame it, the general's injuries are better?" Emperor Mingwen changed his seriousness just now, looked up and down at General Dart Banner, and asked Gonggong Mo to go to the treasury to get a lot of expensive medicine for him to take back.

"Your Majesty, the last general ......" General Dart Banner was stunned, the boxes of tonic medicine were like heavy bombs in his hands, which would explode at any time.

"The general will go back to the house first and have a good rest, and when you are better, I will reuse the general."

Emperor Mingwen said.

The general's heart was full of emotion, and he immediately said to Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, the injuries on the last general's body have almost recovered, and I beg the emperor to let the last general atone for his crimes, otherwise the last general will feel guilty and uncomfortable." ”

Hearing what General Dart Qi said, Emperor Ming Wen hesitated for a moment before saying: "In that case, then I will send you to Lianshan, I sent someone to transport a batch of supplies through Lianshan a few days ago and was robbed by a group of bandits, you go and find this group of materials." ”

"Yes!"

"From now on, I will give you 5,000 Imperial Forest Army, and let you go to Lianshan to find supplies on the same day."

The Guards gave it to him?

The general was surprised and delighted, and immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand to Emperor Mingwen: "The last general must live up to his mission." ”

"Then there will be General Law." Emperor Mingwen helped the general to get up, and watched him leave the council hall, and as soon as the person left, Emperor Mingwen's face sank.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Gong didn't cooperate at first, and was forcibly tied to Yikun Palace, and the people below returned, Mrs. Gong almost escaped with gold and silver, but the two sons and sons of the palace family didn't find their figures, and they searched the entire palace family and found it." The guards returned.

Emperor Mingwen frowned: "Continue to find out if there are any secret passages or something." ”

Nine times out of ten, these two people are no longer in the capital, and the average big family will have a secret passage leading to the outside of the capital, which is very secretive.

Mrs. Gong was just a step too late and didn't run away and was arrested.

……

Yikun Palace

Mrs. Gong was forced to kneel on the futon, kneeling and kowtowing to Concubine Shugui's coffin, her two wrists were tightly strangled, and blood beads were oozing, and Mrs. Gong was pale in pain, gritting her teeth and enduring it.

"Xiangye, how long does the emperor want to lock us up?" Madame Gong was annoyed, and she almost entered the secret passage when she was caught by the guards.

It's infuriating!

The palace prime minister knelt on the futon without saying a word, the monks chanted the scriptures in his ears, and the sound of the wooden fish tapping on the ears would only make people irritated, and the palace prime minister frowned: "The time for the queen to spend time is 7749 days, and the emperor intends to trap us in the palace in the name of excess, and no one can say anything." ”

"So long?"

The current palace lady has long been impatient, and every minute and second more is torment for her, and it is very likely that she will be secretly executed in the next second.

Mrs. Gong looked at Prime Minister Gong worriedly: "Master Xiang, can we just sit and wait?" ”

She now looks at Prime Minister Gong Cheng, waiting for the other party to come up with ideas to solve all this.

"Wait a little longer." Prime Minister Gong closed his eyes tightly, he was very aggrieved in his heart, Emperor Ming Wen still respected himself, did not beat or punish, and even treated him politely, which made Prime Minister Gong embarrassed, and there was no reasonable reason to disobey.

His subordinates have no reason to find fault and seek revenge, so they can only wait, wait for the other party to stabilize the situation little by little, and then turn around to deal with themselves.

Prime Minister Gong let out a long sigh: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Gong was much more honest, with tears on her face, pretending to regret her eldest daughter.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and a piece of news has been transmitted all the way from Lianshan, and General Dart Banner has led his troops to dig a gold mine in a rare deep mountain in Lianshan.

The whole person of the dart flag general was stupid, looking at the gold mine in front of him, swallowing his throat, this is a huge fortune.

But when he commanded his subordinates, he found that the Imperial Forest Army had lost control, and he didn't pay attention to his words at all, and a lieutenant general came out and commanded the Royal Forest Army to surround the entire gold mine, and reported it to the court all the way.

"Can't report ......"

"Is the general going to rebel, if such a big gold mine is not reported, it will be a rebellion!" said the adjutant general.

Looking at a large number of Imperial Forest Army, General Dart Banner realized that he had been fooled, where is this trust, this is the use.

There are no bandits in Lianshan at all, and Emperor Mingwen must have discovered this gold mine a long time ago, but he just used his name to dig it and then announce it to the world.

These 5,000 Imperial Forest Army were very obedient all the way, and when they arrived at the gold mine, they lost control, which was obviously ordered by Emperor Mingwen.

"I didn't mean that, but I haven't found out yet, so I rushed to report it, it's not appropriate, I mean to see if there are any other discoveries around." General Dart Banner reluctantly explained.

However, the adjutant general did not listen to the other party's words at all, took care of his own command, divided labor in an orderly manner, controlled the gold mine in the shortest possible time, and even came out of nowhere some weapons, archers, bows, arrows and ammunition.

"Immediately inform the nearby officials, send people to dig as soon as possible, register and make a book, and the miners who come will be given five taels of silver a month."

"Yes!"

Soon on the second day, a total of nearly 2,000 people were gathered, and where each family lived, what people in the family wrote clearly, and those who were not clear were eliminated directly, just in case someone made a bad deal with it.

"Don't be lucky, every three days your position is different, enter the gold mine, don't think about sneaking out, once discovered, together with your family will be imprisoned for ten years, if you escape halfway, your family will be imprisoned for thirty years, and your children and grandchildren will not be allowed to take the imperial examination again, if you work hard, everyone will have a salary, and you will never be in arrears."

The adjutant general's voice was very loud, and his face was majestic, which made everyone present feel worried, and everyone thought that they were here to make money, five taels of silver, which was not a small amount, and they would give one hundred taels after a year, which made many people excited.

The general on the side could only watch as this group of workers received their own uniforms, with numbers written on them, each number corresponds to a person's name, and specific information such as approximate appearance makes it impossible for people to imitate it.

"In the event of a landslide, the deceased will be compensated two hundred taels of silver to the family, and the cowards who are afraid of death can go back now."

In just one day, a group of workers were digging with tools, while another group of people quickly set up tents around and set up fire camps, in an orderly manner, and the speed was staggering.

The next day, the work officially began, and the gold that had been collected was continuously sent to the barracks and tents of soldiers and horses in various places.

The local soldiers and horses camp tent is headed by Emperor Mingwen's most trusted subordinates, posted notices in the city, recruiting soldiers and horses, the selected people are trained for a month, each person is three taels of silver, and those who are not qualified are persuaded to return, if they come back from the battlefield, the living are one hundred taels, the dead are two hundred taels, and those who have merit are counted separately.

As soon as this move came out, it attracted the attention of many people, and everyone enthusiastically signed up, and tens of thousands of people have been gathered in just a few days.

Lianshan's every move was under the nose of Emperor Mingwen, and he looked at the box of thick stacks of personnel rosters, and he was excited.

"Thanks to your idea." Emperor Mingwen can no longer describe Chu Yunning with the word trust.

She can use the existing resources to create the maximum benefit, use the gold mine to create soldiers and horses for herself, and solve the source of the shortage of soldiers and horses.

"Your Majesty, the palace minister asks to see you."

Emperor Mingwen raised his hand in a good mood: "Xuan." ”

The palace prime minister, who was concealed from the truth, didn't know what was going on outside, but came in a hurry, with a sad face: "Ask the emperor to let the lady go home, she looks at the coffin of her beloved daughter every day, she is too sad, she has fainted many times, and if it goes on like this, the old minister is worried that he can't bear it." ”

Mrs. Gong did faint several times, not because she was overly sad, but pretended, and it was the Prime Minister Gong who felt that the time was almost up, so she came to report.

Emperor Mingwen waved his hand: "Since this is the case, then let Mrs. go back to the house to recuperate, I am also right to meet Shu'er's last wish." ”

Prime Minister Gong originally thought that it would take a lot of speech, but he didn't expect to agree so quickly, so that the words he had prepared couldn't be spoken, and he choked for a long time, but he was worried about Emperor Mingwen in his heart.

At this time, the guards entered the door and reported: "Your Majesty, the general of the dart banner asks to see you." ”

"Haha, let people in." Emperor Mingwen couldn't hold back his laughter and went to the door to greet him in person.

General Dart Banner was escorted back with a bitter face, and when he saw the prime minister of the palace, his eyelids jumped even more for some reason.

"Aiqing, you are finally back, I didn't expect you to be my lucky star and be able to discover the gold mine of Lianshan."

The four words of Lianshan Gold Mine directly hit the eardrums of Prime Minister Gong, and his head exploded with a buzz.

"What gold mine?"

Emperor Mingwen pretended not to know and said: "Xiangye still doesn't know, the general led his troops to find a gold mine in the Lianshan area, which directly solved the emptiness of the treasury. ”

Prime Minister Gong's body shook, and he raised his eyes to stare at General Dart Banner, this glance seemed to be a cold knife with quenched poison, and he wanted to cut people with a thousand knives.

"Xiangye, I ......" The general of the dart banner opened his mouth, but Emperor Mingwen suddenly didn't know how to explain it in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this is a great event, and the general should indeed be rewarded." Prime Minister Gong lowered his head and swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat fiercely.
