"Your Majesty, Xiao Qingfang, the leader of the Great Pavilion of the Internal Guard Mansion, is waiting outside the palace!" A female official entered and said to Wu Cao, who was giving instructions on the recital.

The Zhu pen in his hand paused slightly, and continued to give instructions, and some ethereal voices came down from the imperial case: "Xuan!" ”

Not long after, with the sound of cautious footsteps, a woman with a beautiful face and sharp eyes came up to the temple.

"Minister, Xiao Qingfang, the leader of the Pavilion of the Internal Guard Mansion, meet Your Majesty!" Bow down.

The empress did not speak, but raised her eyes to look at the woman kneeling in the hall, and then bowed her head again to review the recital. The hall was quiet again, and Shangguan Wan'er sat on her knees to the side, slowly helping Wu Cao grind Zhu Mo, and glancing at the woman who was low from time to time.

Xiao Qingfang knelt below, her expression was serious, and a cold color flashed in her drooping eyes. Her psychological quality is naturally extremely strong, and she is not nervous because of the empress's attitude.

"What's going on in Youzhou?" After a long time, Wu Cao put down the music in his hand, his eyes were like swords, and pierced into Xiao Qingfang's heart: "Rebel against the party, plot rebellion, the entire Youzhou is controlled, and the internal guards don't even notice it!" ”

After that, he threw the letter that Di Renjie had put on the table in front of Xiao Qingfang.

"If it weren't for Di Renjie's strong handling of the case, I wouldn't have known that a fake assassin had ruled Youzhou for three years on my behalf! Grandly borrowing the power of the government to do rebellion! The emperor's tone was full of anger: "And that Liu Jin, when you were arrested, didn't you report that the rebels in Youzhou were all eliminated?" Where did the rebel party that is now entrenched in Youzhou come from? Well? ”

Hearing the emperor's scolding, Xiao Qingfang was immediately shocked, and from Wu Cao's mouth, she was basically sure that the incident in Youzhou had happened, and the situation over there might be something wrong......

While browsing Di Renjie's recitals, his mind turned sharply, Xiao Qingfang pleaded guilty and said: "The minister is not doing well, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"I didn't call you to ask for sin!" The empress's tone was still stern.

"The affairs of Hebei Province have always been the responsibility of Sun Dianchen, and the minister has not interfered over the years, and it is difficult to take care of the ......" Xiao Qingfang, who was buried in his head, flashed his eyes a few times, and launched Sun Dianchen, the cabinet leader who had been in the internal guard mansion and had been at odds with himself.

Xiao Qingfang's words were quite tactful.

The Inner Guard Mansion is a spy organization directly under Emperor Wu Cao, an extremely sharp knife in the hands of the empress, and it has been established for ten years. The general leader of the big cabinet, but the few cabinet leaders below have great autonomy.

With such an organization, it is naturally impossible for the emperor to let anyone control it. Those cabinet leaders are the ones that the empress uses to check and balance the big cabinet leaders.

Hearing Xiao Qingfang shake the pot like this, Wu Cao frowned coldly. Several cabinet leaders of the Internal Guard Mansion were most appreciated by Sun Dianchen, and when she heard Xiao Qingfang say that something went wrong on Sun Dianchen's side, she couldn't help but think about it a little more.

"Sun Dianchen......" the emperor muttered and fell silent. After a while, Fang lightly ordered: "Let Huang Shengyan go to Youzhou!" ”

"Xuansun Palace's ministers enter the palace!"

"Yes!"

"The traitors in the court, how is the investigation going?" The tone was flat, facing Xiao Qingfang.

Although the empress is old, her mind is still sober, although Di Renjie did not say anything to him, she has long realized that before and after the mission case, there is obviously an internal ghost in the process.

Being stared at by the empress, Xiao Qingfang finally felt the pressure, and understood in her heart that she had passed the level in Youzhou, and she had to give Wu Cao an explanation for what she should do.

With his brain spinning wildly and a cold glint flashing in his eyes, Xiao Qingfang arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has recently carefully investigated all the officials, generals, and chamberlains of the Turkic Mission...... found that the most suspicious thing is Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General Hu Jinghui! ”

Xiao Qingfang said a surprised name, and Wu Cao really showed a shocked face: "You said Hu Jinghui!" ”

"At that time, the Turkic mission entered Ganliang, and His Majesty sent Hu Jinghui to Lingzhou to welcome him. The minister asked, and while waiting for the mission, Hu Jinghui disappeared for a while. And if the mission is greeted by Hu Jinghui, it will be able to successfully enter Chang'an......"

Also, Hu Jinghui interrogated Liu Jin for a year, but he didn't get the list, which is suspicious. The earthen kiln where Liu Jin was detained was so hidden, how could it be easily discovered and rescued by the rebels. Including the assassination of the county lord of Yiyang, these things are not something that ordinary Neiying can do. The minister found out, the most suspicious is only Hu Jinghui! ”

Confiding out the last word, Xiao Qingfang closed her voice and quietly glanced at the empress who was high above, waiting for her reaction.

"These are all your guesses, but is there any evidence?" The emperor asked in a cold tone.

In fact, judging by his expression, whether it was Xiao Qingfang at the bottom or Shangguan Wan'er at the top, they all knew that the emperor was completely angry. Even if Hu Jinghui is innocent, it's over.

"Although there is no empirical evidence, Ranchen expects that the anti-party power in Youzhou is really so big, and since Hu Jinghui is also in Youzhou, he will definitely show some horses!" Speaking of this, Xiao Qingfang flattened his voice: "With Di Gong's ability, I think I will find something......"

Xiao Qingfang's words made the empress breathe a few times. Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but glance at Xiao Qingfang in surprise, her words were a little striking, after all, in Di Renjie's recital, Hu Jinghui was not mentioned word by word.

"Okay, I'm tired, you can step down!" After another while, Wu Cao waved his hand and sent Xiao Qingfang away: "This matter must not be leaked." ”

"In the matter of Youzhou, you have the responsibility of negligence, and you will be fined for one year......"

"Your Majesty, the minister retires!" Xiao Qingfang saluted calmly and slowly withdrew from the hall.

"Wan'er, is Xiao Qingfang's words credible?" After thinking for a while, the empress turned her head to look at Shangguan Beauty who was still grinding ink.

Moth frowned slightly, thought about it, Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "No matter what, if Hu Jinghui has something suspicious, it must be verified." The merits cannot be concealed forever......"

"As for Xiao Dageling, he has always been His Majesty's minister, what she said should be ...... Credible, right? Shangguan Wan'er's eyes revealed an incomprehensible meaning.

"She's not ambitious......" The empress smiled coldly: "If she hadn't led people to exterminate the snake spirit rebel party back then, I wouldn't have allowed her to stretch her hand so long!" ”

Looking outside the palace, Wu Cao sighed: "The internal guards are becoming more and more useless, and there are many mistakes. Now, even Qianniuwei, my pro-xun guard rate, Hu Jinghui, and the Zhonglang general I personally promoted have problems. ”

Speaking of this, the killing intent in the empress's eyes skyrocketed. She suddenly thought that Hu Jinghui was strong in martial arts, and he often guarded the palace before, waiting in front of the palace, if he had a different heart, he would assassinate himself...... Shudder!

"What the minister is worried about is that if Hu Jinghui really has a problem, he can hide by His Majesty's side for so long and so deeply, there should be someone behind him to support and respond, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to hide from His Majesty's eyes!" Shangguan Meiren added.

Hearing this, the haze between the empress's eyebrows aggravated another layer.

"Change the Qianniuwei around me to a batch of ......"

Xiao Qingfang's side, as soon as he returned to the Internal Guard Mansion, he quietly called his cronies and coldly ordered: "Send someone to Youzhou quickly, tell Jin Mulan, the matter is leaked, let her do it as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

After staying for a while, Xiao Qingfang sighed silently, Di Renjie had found out about this, with her cleverness, she naturally knew that it would not be possible to do anything in Youzhou......
