Several royal Taoist temples and gardens are outside the palace and within the imperial city; As long as they don't leave the imperial city, the palace concubines enter and leave the palace in broad daylight, and the control is not so strict.

In addition to everyone knowing that the master of Changxin Palace is very favored by His Majesty, the palace attendants and school captains on duty at Chongfu Gate also noticed that the fire on the side of Changyang Courtyard looked more and more fierce at this time, and they were anxious and didn't know whether to send someone over to reinforce them.

Qingyang opened the corner of the curtain, peeked at the billowing black smoke in the direction of Changyang Courtyard and became more and more intense, and asked Yun Puzi with a pounding heart: "Yun Puzi has frequently sent people into the palace to offer objects in the past few days, but the Marquis of Qianyang has already noticed that Lu Qingxia has any clues?" ”

"Lu Qingxia is a poisonous snake, but she is not the only poisonous snake lurking in the dark shadows in Jinling City - to say that the vast majority of people in Jinling City at this moment wish that the Marquis of Qianyang would lead his troops to advance into Hehuai to participate, and kill the Mugwus and lose both, but there are also people who hope that the attention of the Marquis of Qianyang will be restrained in Jianghuai......" Yun Puzi sat cross-legged against the guard, but at this moment he was still staring at the gate of Chongfu Palace uneasily, worried that an assassin would chase him from the palace gate the next moment.

"Is the Taoist chief saying that there are spies of the Mugultures in Jinling City?" Qingyang asked.

"To be more precise, it is the secret room arranged by Guan Jianglou or Xiao Yiqing, Lao Dao also has a lot of things unclear at this time, but only in this way can it be explained that Lu Qingxia would choose such an opportunity to make a move, right?" Yun Puzi said, "After the Marquis of Qianyang invited the prince of Lihou to show the world that he was about to personally lead the army north and fight to the death with the Mengwu, the wind rose, and in the end, the Mengwu people were still afraid that the Marquis of Qianyang and Emperor Liang would join forces ......."

"The Marquis of Qianyang invited the prince of the Hou to set up, and it also has the intention of luring the snake out of the hole?" Qingyang listened to the meaning of Yun Puzi's words and asked in surprise.

Yun Puzi nodded, agreeing with Qingyang's guess.

Qingyang's mind flashed Han Qian's resolute and slightly yīn face at this moment, and asked, "Is the Marquis of Qianyang in Jinling at this time?" ”

"Lao Dao doesn't know," Yun Puzi said, "The gates of the Imperial City are not ornaments, Lao Dao and the secretary of the Establishment Mansion are all through a few secret locations to pass secret letters, and people will not contact ...... directly."

Qingyang thought to himself, Yun Puzi has a special identity, and he has a close relationship with Changxin Palace, even if he can occasionally go out of the imperial city, he doesn't know how many eyeliners he will be targeted.

has been lurking as a shadow all these years, so that she can't see the slightest flaw, it must be too cautious; And even if Han Qian had sneaked back to Jinling at this time, it was top secret, and he would not easily meet Yun Puzi.

I can't be sure if Han Qian is in Jinling at this time, and Qingyang's heart has always hung there, looking at the blue sky above the eaves of the palace, I don't know what kind of chaos the bloody palace change that is about to break out completely will mess up the situation in Gyeonggi, and I don't know how many people have died without a place to be buried, let alone whether she and Bin'er can escape.

"If you want to say that everything is under Lu Qingxia's control, then Your Majesty summoned Huang Xi and Guo Liang into the palace today, will one of them have been co-opted by Lu Qingxia?" Thinking of this, Qingyang asked in horror again.

"Huang Shu can't be; And even if Huang Liang is co-opted, Lu Qingxia will not be able to control the military attaches and soldiers loyal to the Huang family in the guards - Guo Liang is not very likely, Guo Liang's arrogance is one thing, and if Lu Qingxia really masters Guo Liang, then her situation over the years will not be so embarrassing. Yun Puzi said with a deep groan.

At the beginning, Guo Liang was the oldest Marquis of the Five Capitals of the Dragon Bird Army, even if there was no one behind him to support him, after Emperor Yanyou ascended the throne, he also firmly commanded the position of the guards and pro-army. If he really wants to collude with Cishou Palace, his power will only be stronger than now.

And Lu Qingxia really wants to master Guo Liang, when the main force of the Wuya Army and the Right Shenwu Army is destroyed, they are fully capable of playing the cards better and more beautifully, and even the follow-up may not have the opportunity to rise Tangyi.

Hearing Yun Puzi's analysis, Qingyang asked suspiciously: "Since Huang Xi and Guo Liang are not Lu Qingxia's people, then she is not afraid that the situation will not be under her control when she sees His Majesty summoning Huang Xi and Guo Liang into the palace?" ”

Yun Puzi said with a smile: "Based on my understanding of Lu Qingxia, she deliberately connived at Her Majesty to introduce Huang Xi, Guo Liang and others into the palace, and even connived at Your Majesty to spread the meaning of going out of the palace to escape the summer on a small scale, the main purpose is to disrupt the situation." As long as she can grasp the affairs of His Majesty within five steps, when or in what way His Majesty dies violently, it is a matter of her words. And as long as His Majesty's violent death becomes a mystery and there is chaos in the imperial city, the Queen Mother has a natural reputation to preside over the overall situation under their control. Don't talk about Chen De, Li Changfeng, and Li Xiu at this time, Guo Liang is very likely to choose to throw himself into the Queen Mother immediately under such strong pressure. In this way, they will control most of the guards and pro-army, and at this time, regardless of Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang, they can't be suspicious, at least the situation in Gyeonggi will temporarily fall under their control. Lü Qingxia could even leave the Yellow Empress and the three princes immortal, forming a confrontation situation within the imperial city, forcing Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Zhang Chao and others to make a choice between the second and third princes before Tangyi and Huaidong sent troops to intervene in the Gyeonggi chaos. According to what the concubine sees, in that situation, even if His Majesty dies violently, who will Shen Yang choose? ”

Seeing that Yun Puzi only mentioned Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang, their choices were only the second prince and the third prince, but he did not mention Bin'er, and asked in surprise: "Lu Qingxia really won't let go of my mother and son easily?" ”

"The concubine is not dead, Li Zhihe plotted Shu to become unknown, and Lu Qingxia and they have no excuse to directly order Zhang Ji to go to Wushan Changxia to attack eastern Sichuan," Yun Puzi said, "And they still have to control the queen mother, as soon as the concubine dies, they can tell the queen mother that it is the concubine who makes His Majesty know the secret of the second prince." This can also involve Tangyi and the Han Mansion, making the Queen Mother think that the concubine secretly colluded with the Marquis of Qianyang, and knew many secrets from the Marquis of Qianyang. Only in this way can Lu Qingxia make the bureau to death, and when the time comes, outsiders will not be able to easily approach the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will never be able to get rid of their control......"

"......" Qingyang was speechless for a while, but as a member of the Shenling Division, she also knew how the eunuch group in the late period of the previous dynasty controlled the court, and what Lu Qingxia did at this time was just to take the means of controlling the government of the eunuchs in the middle and late stages of the previous dynasty to the extreme.

…………

…………

Qingyang took Bin'er and drove the carriage directly into the backyard of Chongfuguan with Yun Puzi, and the eight female officials and grandmothers were all old people she brought from Shudu.

After the shock calmed down for a while, the female official who was guarding the front of the watch ran over and said that a new team of soldiers had entered the Chongfu Gate, and the palace gate was quickly closed from the inside.

It also means that no matter what happens in the palace forbidden at the moment, they are late for half the incense

, may not be able to get out of the Changxin Palace.

Although he knew that Lu Qingxia would not let her and Bin'er go easily, Qingyang also knew in his heart that once the gate of Chongfu Palace was closed in a critical moment, it would not be an order from any person to ask the guards of the palace to reopen the palace gate.

No matter how powerful Lu Qingxia is, she can only secretly guide the situation in her favor, but she can't completely control the situation.

Then they don't have to worry about the assassins coming out of the palace for at least a short time.

"Did the Cloud Daoist send someone to see Han Daoming?" Qingyang was shocked for a moment and asked Yun Puzi.

Chongfuguan is outside the palace and inside the imperial city, and Shangshu Province, the Privy Council and the ministries and departments are also outside the palace and inside the imperial city - Han Qian is not in Jinling is no longer the most important, once the news of Emperor Yanyou's assassination or violent death comes out, the guards will definitely close the imperial city as soon as possible and cut off the connection between the imperial city and the outside world, and Qingyang believes that Han Daoming should be in the imperial city at this time.

Qingyang doesn't want to die in vain, so she should take the eldest prince to the bright place.

Rendezvous with Han Daoming is the only way for her mother and son to go to the bright place, but they don't have to worry about being poisoned by Lu Qingxia in a short time.

Qingyang guessed that this should be Yun Puzi's backhand to pick up her mother and son out of the palace; Otherwise, how long can the little Chongfuguan hide her mother and son?

Yun Puzi was about to arrange for someone to meet Han Daoming and inquire about the news, but he saw a small Taoist running over from the front yard and said:

"Shangshu Province Tongshi Sheren Qin asked Lord Qin to see Master ......"

"......" Qingyang looked at Yun Puzi hesitantly.

She knew that Qin Wen, Xue Ruogu, and Li Tang served as officials in Xuzhou in the early years, and they would disagree with Han Qian's politics, and they were expelled from Xuzhou by Han Qian, and were forced to take refuge in Shen Yang after going to Yueyang.

"What is he doing here?" Yun Puzi asked with a frown.

"He's not Han Qian's person?" Qingyang asked in surprise.

Yun Puzi shook his head, spread his hands and said: "Qianyang Hou is in Jinling, how many dark lines there are, only a few people know the most crucial ones, and the secret line and the secret are also single-line connections...... I went out to meet him. ”

Yun Puzi didn't move, he heard a rush of footsteps rushing into the backyard, Yun Puzi pushed open the door and saw Qin Wen's thin figure, which had already broken straight through alone, not giving him a chance to refuse perfunctory at all; And the two small roadmaids guarding the front yard didn't know what was going on at all, and didn't dare to stop people casually.

"You go out first." Yun Puzi closed the door with his backhand, walked to the courtyard, and let the three Taoist servants go out first.

Qingyang hid in the house, nervously watching everything in the yard through the doorway; The few female officials behind her held their hidden short blades in their backhands in their wide sleeves.

"The Marquis of Qianyang said that if there was a sudden change in the forbidden palace of the imperial city, and Qin could not enter the palace to see Wang Guifei, he would come over to discuss a comprehensive plan with the head of the cloud road. Seeing that the car of Changxin Palace is here, it seems that Yun Daochang has already taken out Wang Guifei and the eldest prince for the first time? Qin Wen asked.

"What's the sudden change in the palace?" Yun Puzi asked vigilantly.

Qin Wen said: "Your Majesty and Empress Li were all assassinated, Shen Xiang, King Shou, Du Bingbu and Lord Zheng have heard the news and rushed to Chongwen Palace, and the guards are currently closing the entrance and exit of the palace and the nine gates of the imperial city. Chongfuguan is not a hiding place, when the guards and soldiers find out that Wang Guifei and the eldest prince are not alive or dead in Changxin Palace, they will search the whole city. Lu Qingxia and Yao Xishui might have suspected the head of the Cloud Dao Elder earlier, but even if the gate of Chongfu Palace was closed, they couldn't directly send assassins, but they couldn't delay for long——"

Qingyang was also stupid when he heard the news of Yang Yuanpu's assassination.

She received an edict from Yang Yuanpu that it had not been half an hour since she left the palace to escape the summer, and Cishou Palace really started?

"How do you prove that you are acting on the orders of the Marquis of Qianyang?" Qingyang pushed open the door, walked out and stared at Qin Wen and asked.

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, the romantic characters of the ages, Wang Guifei has known it for a long time, and there is a sentence behind it: ...... to the west of the old base" Qin Wen groaned.

Hearing Qin Wen read out the half-rhymed words at this time, Yun Puzi and Qingyang were both stunned.

Although Qin Wen rushed straight over at this time, they all guessed Qin Wen's identity, but when they really confirmed Qin Wen's identity, they were still shocked:

Back then, Han Qian was so rude that he forced a shadow into Shen Yang's hands?

Was the expulsion of Xue Ruogu, Qin Wen, and Li Tang a bitter ploy back then?

"Where is Han Shangshu, has he also entered the palace? Which captain of Chongyangmen is currently in charge of guarding? ”

Confirming that Qin Wen's identity was correct, Yun Puzi asked eagerly.

As an envoy of the royal Taoist palace, he usually pretends to be an idle cloud and wild crane, and he is not very clear about the alternation of the imperial city and the palace city.

At present, there are fifteen elite guards in the pro-army division, and Li Xiu and his brother, Li Changfeng, who served as the deputy privy envoy and deputy commander of the pro-military department of the guard after returning from Liangzhou, are clearly the party of the queen mother, and they are very likely to directly participate in the plot of the palace rebellion; In addition, Zhong Yanhu, who was with Sima Jiangzhou in his early years and was later transferred to the capital of Zuowu Xiangjun after being surrendered by Li Zhihe, also had a big problem.

Yun Puzi was not worried that Huang Xu, Guo Liang and Zhang Han were all in command of the three guards, but the guards inside and outside the Chongwen Hall and Chongyang Gate did not need to be personally responsible for the three major commanders.

If one of Li Xiu or Zhong Yanhu was fully responsible for the guards of Chongwen Hall and Chongyang Gate, then Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao, Chen De, Zhang Han, Guo Liang, Han Daoming, Du Chongtao, Zhou Bingwu and others entered Chongwen Hall unsuspectingly, and they were very likely to be caught in the urn.

If that's the case, it's too late to cry!

"Han Shangshu has also entered the palace, but not only the Chongyang Gate, Chongwen Hall and the Political Hall, the Privy Council, the nine gates of the palace city and the imperial city, are currently on duty with the left and right Wu Yi Army and Zuo Wu Xiang Army each sending a team of men and horses to monitor each other and keep watch. Any transfer order letter that does not have the signatures of Shen Xiang, King Shou, the Queen Mother, the Guards and the Pro-Military Division, or more than four ministers participating in politics is a chaotic order that is cut first and then played, and those who follow the chaotic order are all rebellious. Qin Wen said.

Seeing that Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and the others were not messing up, and they were still vigilant enough at this time, and they could barely hold on to the situation, Yun Puzi secretly felt lucky.

Of course, the secretary and the Han Mansion have been staring at every grass and tree in the city for the past few days, and Han Daoming has also been on duty in the political hall from morning to night these days, and he does not leave easily, which is to anticipate today's palace changes.

In case of chaos, as long as Han Daoming can put forward the correct contingency plan in time, and this plan will not be biased

To the Han family, of course, the other ministers will accept it as soon as possible.

There is no chaos in this link, just fine.

Yun Puzi simply told Qin Wen some of the information he knew, and then asked, "Is Han Daochang in the Imperial City?" ”

What they can rely on at present is mainly the power that Tangyi hides in the Han Mansion.

Even if Han Qian was in Jinling at this time, if he wanted to transfer the third town division to cross the river and approach Jinling City, it would take days at the earliest.

Besides, it is really going to get to the point where the elite of Tangyi is dispatched, the alarm is too great, and the follow-up situation will be extremely difficult to clean up.

The Third Town Division directly crossed the river to fight the rebellion, which was the last resort.

In any case, the Han Mansion and the other Tangyi secretaries lurking in Jinling had to do their best to avoid this situation.

At least at the same time as "please Lihou Shizi" to be sent to Jinling, when Han Qian gave an order to the secretary, he clearly stated this intention.

However, at this time, Jinling City was separated by a four-story city wall and more than 40,000 elite guards.

No one can rely on deduction in advance to completely sort out the chaos that may occur tonight.

And in addition to the fact that the latent shadows and the secrets are mostly one-line contacts and have no direct contact with each other, at the same time, the contact with the Han Mansion and the outside world is also completely cut off at this moment, and many times they still have to improvise on their own.

"Lord Daochang is in the salt and iron transfer envoy Yamen, but the concubine Niangniang can't go to see Lord Daochang at this time, the Marquis of Qianyang said, when the palace changes but it is not a last resort, don't easily get involved with the Han Mansion and Tangyi." Qin Wen said.

Yun Puzi has a special identity and cannot enter and leave the imperial city at will, but Qin Wen responds between the imperial city officials during the day, and even enters the Chongwen Hall to guard as a general secretary, and he still has to leave the imperial city at night and live in a family house outside the imperial city and in the main city, so it is much more convenient to contact the secret.

Qingyang was about to ask something, but before the words came out, he figured it out.

Now that the situation is not in chaos, the guards and pro-army can still be relatively loyal to their duties, and there is a little room for things to turn around.

And even if the truth of Yang Yuanpu and Li Yao's assassinations will always be hidden under the surface of the water and will not be seen by the world, but whose family the new emperor will fall into still depends on the opinions of the ministers participating in politics, not the queen mother's family.

The only thing that is certain is that if she has a relationship with Bin'er, Han Qian and Han Fu, even if she can explain why she went out of the palace to avoid trouble, not to mention Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and the Queen Mother, Yang En, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Han, Zhang Chao, Du Chongtao, Zhou Bingwu and others will strongly oppose Bin'er's accession to the throne, right?

At least before Bin'er ascended the throne, or before Han Qian led his army across the river to control Jinling, exposing the relationship with Tangyi and the Han government would definitely do more harm than good.

And listening to the meaning of Qin's question, Han Qian didn't seem to have the idea of leading a large army to cross the river, right?

"Is the Yellow Empress alive or dead?" Qingyang asked.

Qin Wen saw that at such a moment as the county lord of Qingyang, he could still calmly care about the life and death of Huang E, the daughter of Huang Hua, and secretly felt that she was really not simple, and said back: "When I rushed over, I only heard that Huang Yu had sent someone to protect Queen Huang, but the situation over there is not very clear......

Although there is no official canonization of the crown prince, Huang E is the queen of the righteous and eight classics, and also has three princes, and his father Huang Hua and his brother Huang Xi are not only ministers and generals in the court, but also representatives of the Jiangdong clan forces - Huang Xi as the commander of the Zuo Wuxiang army, before His Majesty was assassinated, he was secretly discussing with the ministers in the political hall about driving out of the city, and when he heard the changes in the palace, he sent people to protect his sister Huang E and the three princes as soon as possible.

If the ministers of the government and the opposition must vote for it, the third prince is definitely the one with the highest number of votes, and even if the second prince is the son of the abolished queen, he has the support of the queen mother and the Li family behind him, and the votes are definitely higher than that of the eldest prince.

However, it is not the time to study this in detail, first to see if the situation can be stabilized, and it is not clear what Lu Qingxia will do.

If you want to talk about the guards and pro-army soldiers and horses, even if Chen De, Li Changfeng, Li Xiu, and Zhong Yanhu completely surrendered - Chen De and Li Changfeng are only the nominal commanders and deputy commanders of the guards and pro-army, but as long as Huang Xi, Guo Liang, and Zhang Han remain neutral, the strength of the guards and pro-army that Lu Qingxia can directly control is quite limited.

"Chongfuguan is not a place to stay for a long time, and we can't go to see the Han family, and we can't go out of the imperial city, where should we go?" Qingyang couldn't help but say confusedly.

"You disguised yourself as the Imperial City Patrol and went to Shangshu Province with me, there should be disguised clothes here for the Cloud Dao Chief, right? After waiting for the yasha in Shangshu Province, hide it first, and I will go to Shen Xiang to see Niangniang......" Qin Wen said.

"Prosthetic hand Shen Xiang?" Yun Puzi couldn't help but slap his thigh, and Qin Wen secretly instigated Shen Yang and Yang En to support the eldest prince It was really wonderful, and asked, "How to explain the matter of the concubine and the eldest prince going out of the palace to avoid trouble?" ”

Qin Wen said: "When I saw Shen Xiang, I said that when Niangniang caught fire in Changyang Courtyard, Changxin Palace also encountered assassins, and after repelling the assassins, I saw the fire in Changyang Courtyard in a hurry, and I was even more panicked, I didn't know who I could trust, so I could only escape from Chongfu Gate with Yundao Chang first, and find Shen Xiang to take refuge ......."

"Could there be a flaw in this statement?" Qingyang asked worriedly.

Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang are counted as one, which one is the old fox who has become a jing, Qingyang doesn't think that she has much chance of lying to hide from them.

"When His Majesty was assassinated, there was a mess in the Chongwen Palace, and then it spread to Changyang Courtyard and other places, how many assassins were hidden in the palace, and the palace began to conduct a comprehensive search, and no one could say what happened - plus Lu Qingxia and they wanted to cover up the truth of the assassination, which was destined to make the truth even more confusing. As long as Niangniang is calm, some things are not right, and she will not make Shen Xiang suspicious. One thing is for sure, behind her is Lu Qingxia's hand, she has the opportunity to even let go of Queen Huang, and she will not let go of the concubine Niangniang and the eldest prince. Only in this way can the relationship between Chu and Shu be destroyed, and then Li Zhihe will have a righteous and bright excuse to seek Shu. It's just that in Lu Qingxia's mortal list, Niangniang was ranked after His Majesty and Empress Li, and she narrowly escaped," Qin Wen said, "I estimate that after Niangniang leaves Changxin Palace with Yun Dao Chang, there should be assassins who break in, leaving clues." And even if there are no assassins going to Changxin Palace, the only ones who can really see through Niangniang's lies are Lu Qingxia and others who secretly know the whole situation-Niangniang is still afraid that they will stand up and question it? ”

Qingyang heard that Yun Puzi also had a similar judgment just now, but as long as an assassin has been to Changxin Palace, and now it is Lu Qingxia, the Queen Mother and others who are trying to cover up the truth in every possible way, she really doesn't have to worry about too many flaws?

Besides, in such a situation, there can be no perfect strategy, and more can only take one step at a time and adapt to the situation.
