The sleeping Chang'an City didn't know what kind of wind and thunder happened last night. However, it did happen, and it will lead to a cascade of dramatic changes.

When the emperor in the Weiyang Palace finally heard the news from the Xifeng Guardian, the anger in his heart can be imagined. The merits of the matter, let's not talk about it first, just say that such a thing happened between the important ministers of the imperial court, like a private fight in the market, and it is simply appalling when it spreads.

The emperor in anger immediately issued an order to quickly edict Tian Jue, Yuan Zhao, Dou Ying and others to enter the palace! Commander Xifengwei lowered his head, trembling and not daring to look at his face, telling His Majesty the Emperor that the people he was looking for were missing. Last night, Changle Hou Yuanzhao took Prime Minister Tian Cheng's father and son hostage, rushed out of Wu'an's Hou Mansion, and then disappeared. The soldiers and horses patrolling the guards searched in Chang'an all night, but they did not find any traces.

The emperor's face was pale, is this a rebellion! What happened overnight? What the hell are the people of Xifengwei doing to eat! The commander "pounced" and fell to his knees, and repeatedly confessed.

After a while, Emperor Liu Che calmed down a little, and ordered everyone to return to the camp immediately, from now on, not a single soldier is allowed to leave the camp, and those who violate the order will be immediately killed!

As soon as the commander of Xifengwei received the order to go out, the queen mother who got the news rushed over. The queen mother got up early in the morning, and before she had eaten breakfast, the people from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion came to report the news, and she didn't have a few words after hearing it, so she stood up in shock, and even brought over a few cases of placing meals.

It's worth it! The dignified prime minister of the dynasty, the younger brother of the queen mother, and the marquis of Wu'an, was actually kidnapped! If there are three long and two short, even if you cut the other party with a thousand knives, you can't get it back.

Tian Jue's thoughts about dealing with Dou Ying and Yuan Zhao once confided a little to her, which can be regarded as letting the Queen Mother know in advance. In her mind, it wasn't a big deal. The power struggle between the courtiers was all too common. In order to stabilize the imperial power, it is often necessary to engage in balancing between the factions of the imperial court, which is a political means and a need to consolidate the rule.

What's more, Dou Ying and Yuan Zhao have seriously infringed on the interests of the Tian family. Not long ago, the loss of the fiefdoms on the other side of the Yellow River was recorded on the heads of these two people. New hatred and old hatred, the queen mother has long resented them.

"Emperor, this time you have to be the master of the Tian family! Your uncle is ...... If he wants to have a good one, I won't live! ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's eyes were red, and when she saw that the emperor had not expressed her position for a long time, she complained a little in her heart.

Emperor Liu Che felt that his head was a little swollen, and before he could figure out what was going on, the Queen Mother came to force the palace, which was to force herself to issue an edict to convict Yuan Zhao immediately.

"Mother, don't be impatient. There may have been some misunderstanding last night, but when I understand the cause and effect, I will naturally make a fair decision. ”

Hearing him say this, the Queen Mother sank her face and snorted coldly.

"The emperor doesn't believe your uncle anymore? Think about how you ascended to this throne in the first place, and who contributed the most among them, don't forget! ”

"Don't think too much about the queen mother, I am a person who forgets my roots! I naturally know the credit for the original work. Why can the Tian family be so rich, and how did Tian Jue's captain and prime minister come from? I didn't treat you badly. ”

"Yes, with all his credits, they deserve it. However, the emperor, why do you treat your mother's relatives so coldly today? ”

The queen mother has been dissatisfied for a long time, since Tian Jue's power has been restricted, to the recent successive setbacks, every time her younger brother enters the palace to complain in front of her, her resentment is deep.

"The queen mother, before was before, and now is now. The ambitions in my heart need to be carried out, and I need to hold absolute power in my hands. Therefore, I am not targeting anyone, and everything I do is for the needs of the community. ”

The emperor patiently explained, of course he knew what the queen mother was for saying these words, but he would not agree now. Liu Che has a lot of trust in Yuan Zhao, and he believes that he will not recklessly make an uncontrollable situation.

The Queen Mother finally lost her patience, and she did not understand why the Emperor could not happily accede to her request. Doesn't he want to take the opportunity to completely eradicate the power of the Dou family? Wouldn't that be a lot less troublesome? As for Yuan Zhao's wild boy, is it really that important?

"Emperor, Yuan Zhao killed people in front of the princes and princes, kidnapped the prime minister of the dynasty, such a big crime, do you still want to cover up with him?"

"I just want to wait for the matter to be clarified before making a decision, not to favor and shield anyone, please forgive the queen mother!"

The Queen Mother could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and she suddenly stood up and stared into the eyes of her emperor's son.

"Emperor, hello, now that you have grown up, your wings have already hardened, and you don't need the help of the Queen Mother and the Tian family, right? I'm still alive, and your uncle is being bullied like this. After I die, I'm afraid the Tian family will never have a way to live! Hum! ”

These words were a little too heavy, and Emperor Liu Che's face became unpleasant. The Han ruled the world with "filial piety", and if he did not follow the will of the Queen Mother, it would naturally damage the reputation of the saints, but if he succumbed to her intention to protect Tian Jue, he could not agree to it.

If it was just Dou Ying, Liu Che was still a little hesitant, but since Yuan Zhao was also involved, he had to be cautious. Because, Yuan Zhao is too important now, whether it is Changle Plateau or the Western Regions Passage, such a big stall has been rolled out, how can he give up halfway!

"Why did the queen mother say this! This makes me feel good. As an emperor, I must be cautious when dealing with grievances between important ministers! The merits of the matter, their own public opinion, and do not dare to abolish the public with private interests! ”

Speaking of this, the emperor waved his hand and shouted loudly to order Li Dang, the general of Yulin, to come to see him, and he would order the Yulin army to go out and search the whole city to find the whereabouts of a few people as soon as possible.

Li Dang hasn't come yet, there are guards who have already hurriedly come to report the news, outside the Weiyang Palace, Changle Hou Yuanzhao and Wu'an Hou Tian Jue, Wei Qihou Dou Ying and others are waiting to see you!

What the? Coming by yourself? The emperor was at ease. The Queen Mother didn't care about anything else, and first worried about Tian Jue's safety.

"What happened to Wu Anhou? Are you hurt? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, although Prime Minister Tian Cheng's face is not good, his body is fine!"

"Emperor, please deal with it quickly! The mourners are waiting in this palace to see what you will find! ”

Liu Che looked at his mother's cold face and sighed secretly. On the one hand, the palace maids served and dressed neatly, and on the other hand, they were ordered to wait in the side hall of the Imperial Doctor, the court captain, the Shangshu Chang attendant, and other Jiuqing ministers.

"The queen mother can rest assured that such a big thing has happened among the ministers of the court, no matter what, I must have an explanation. Today, I will hand over this matter to several important ministers for discussion, so that everyone can be convinced. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't say anything more, bowed down and gave a salute, and then went to himself surrounded by palace people.

The Queen Mother watched his figure walk away, and suddenly felt that her son was a little strange. She gritted her teeth secretly, thought for a moment, beckoned to the person of the palace, whispered a few words to her, and the person took the order, turned around and went in the direction of Jianzhang Palace. She knew the emperor's thoughts, didn't she just want to make Wei Zifu, who was born a singer, the queen? What if this was a quid pro quo? Presumably he would have thought differently.

Outside the Weiyang Palace, the sky was bright, and the guards of the Yulin Army guarding the Weiyang Palace looked at a few people at the gate of the Suzaku with some strange feelings, and did not understand why these important people with different expressions had to enter the palace so early.

Last night's news, they don't know yet. Therefore, someone was still greeting Hou Yuanzhao, the only one with a smile on his face. Yuan Zhao nodded his head and smiled, no different from usual.

Wu'an Hou Tianxuan's face was as ugly as it was. Overnight, the ghost knew what kind of twists and turns his mood had gone through! Although there was a bright sky in front of him, the fear in his heart did not diminish at all. As long as Yuan Zhao is still within three feet of him, he will be like a man on his back, and he can't breathe!

Tian Jue is really scared! I'm afraid of this young colleague who is smiling and greeting people. Looking at his current appearance, the prime minister of the dynasty was very suspicious that the person in last night and the person in front of him would not be the same Yuan Zhao at all!

It was only a quarter of an hour waiting outside the palace gate, but Tian Jue felt that it was too long. He pinned his last hope on the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, how can he say that they are also a family? Last night, he put down such a big battle, but he couldn't help Yuan Zhao for half a point, if he couldn't win him in the Weiyang Palace, then he would lose, completely lose, lose a defeat, and the general of the Han Dynasty would no longer have a place for him to stand!

Although I don't want to think about it again, but the chilling scene last night, Tian Jue will never forget it for the rest of his life, if he still has the rest of his life.

When the night banquet in the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an was covered with blood all over the place, Tian Jue, like most people, had a temporary sluggishness in his head. Isn't it said that they are all first-class masters? Could it be that all these years have been raising a flock of sheep? The other party's body is not even splashed with a little blood, and the thirty masters are all finished? And...... The death is terrible!

A few of the more timid ones had already foamed at the mouth and fainted. The guards of the Hou Mansion who stood in front of Tian Jue and the princes and kings desperately waved the swords in their hands to give themselves courage. However, the figure only took another step forward, and the crowd in front of him automatically dodged away.

Since you will definitely die if you move, it is better not to move. Knowing that resistance was in vain, the guards wisely avoided the invincible edge in front of them.

Tian Jue was a little thin and didn't weigh much. The dignified prime minister, in his own house, was dragged to the ground by a young man who could not be said to be indistinguishable, and walked out of the door like this. A single knife that stood in the way was kicked away by Yuan Zhao, and when it fell, it was deeply inserted into the gold brick in the middle of the hall, and the cold light broke my heart!

In the deathly silence, everyone was silent. Dou Ying swallowed with some difficulty, and motioned to the shrub who was holding Tian Shaoqi to follow closely.

The slaughter shrouded the inside and outside of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, and in the light of the torches, the horses neighed softly, and the thousands of feathered arrows were aimed at the front in unison with a cold light.
