The huge hall was empty, the dragon chair still shimmered with a dazzling golden luster, and the setting sun pulled a long, oblique shadow through the wooden lattice of all the objects in the hall, including a figure.

If it weren't for the blinking of his eyes from time to time, outsiders would have thought that this was nothing more than a statue standing in the middle of the main hall. The statue faces the dragon chair, with its back to the temple door, and the light and shadow hit the face to create a dreamlike bubble.

The door of the hall was pushed open, and a moon-white windbreaker walked into the main hall, it stands to reason that with his official rank, he is not qualified to enter the Lintoe Hall directly, but who cares at this moment, after all, the entire imperial city is already this statue.

"Your Highness"

A call was amplified several times over the halls, a sarcasm that could not be heard in the ears of the statue.

"How's it going?"

The statue spoke, and the moon-white trench coat could bow, and respectfully took out a battle report from his bosom and handed it to the statue. The statue had its back to the visitor, but the elongated shadow could discern its movements, and the statue slowly turned, exposing its face to the visitor's sight.

The statue is King Xiang, and he can only be King Xiang at this time, and King Xiang took the battle report of the person who came over and read it quickly and then closed it neatly.

"Qianji, aren't you known for your resourcefulness and ability to strategize? What do you think next? ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness, King Yu's army was able to achieve victory, which is a rare victory since the beginning of the year, but if this matter is not publicized, who will know that they have won? At present, the capital is all under the control of His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness's control is only limited to the capital, and the military power is only a god-killing cavalry, and the other three armies are still obeying the emperor's orders, even if the Fierce Soldier Fu is in the hands of His Highness. ”

"Xia Tang did not retreat as agreed, but planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, King Yu's army was just able to give them a head-on attack, if they attacked King Yu at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall?"

King Xiang's eyes pierced Shen Qianji's body sharply, but Shen Qianji did not dodge or dodge, facing the stinging pain, and analyzed: "King Yu's ability to use troops is indeed admirable, if someone hadn't made a hindrance in the Battle of Anzhou, King Yu would have driven the Tang army out of the southeast and recovered the lost territory, if so, his military exploits would be incomparable!" Your Highness, you are a person who has achieved great things, how can the conspiracy of Xia Tang and Xiliang last for a long time? There are already many disagreements between the two countries, but now they are just relying on my Liang to look around and take the initiative to show their flaws, otherwise do they think that our Liang army is a vegetarian? ”

"Even if you want to make a move against King Yu, you can't rush it for a while, at least let him drive Xia Tang and Xiliang farther away."

"After all, King Yu is one of the three princes of the emperor who is alive, and if you want to completely eliminate his strength, and at the same time block the mouth of the people in the world, of course, you can't rush this matter. However, Your Highness should not forget that it has been two days since the Qianyuan Palace Change, how long does Your Highness think this matter can be hidden? Besides, the emperor's dragon body is acceptable, and the court is not under the control of His Royal Highness. ”

"So, did Zhou Xunliang confess?"

His Royal Highness can rest assured that he entered the prison of Dali Temple, and Weichen had the means to make him confess. Your Highness, this is the preliminary list of those who have been cleared, please take a look at it. ”

King Xiang took a list handed over by Shen Qianji, and if you look closely, many of them are ministers of the court, and at the end of the list is Baishi.

"Why did you include Shiraishi? Could it be that you are still planning to do something to Castle Peak Academy? ”

"Shangde is in the heart, ambition is in the chest, defending the people with a blade, protecting the country with a body, has Your Highness heard of it?"

"Isn't this the motto of Castle Peak Academy? Speaking of which, Castle Peak Academy has also cultivated a lot of loyal and brave people for my big beam. ”

"That's right, Qingshan Academy cultivates loyal and brave people who are loyal to the previous dynasty, but not loyal to His Highness, let's just say Liao Zhen, one of the few ministers in the Qianyuan Palace who was not killed, his courage and force, if he knew His Highness's true intentions, would His Highness think he would be loyal to His Highness or raise the banner of resistance to oppose His Highness?"

Shen Qianji's words forced the Xiang Dynasty to think in a direction that he had never set foot in, and his previous efforts were all in the imperial court and the army, completely ignoring Qingshan Academy. It was only at this time that he understood the significance of the academy itself, so his eyes looked at Shen Qianji even more sharply.

"Your Royal Highness, go forward, there have been examples of Wenchen and military generals jointly controlling the family and country in all dynasties of Qingshan Academy, although they were indeed dedicated to the public at that time, but the ancestors and emperors were still very jealous, but because of the face of the people in the world, they have not done anything to Qingshan Academy. But Your Highness, don't forget, today's Your Highness wants to ascend the throne by relying on a legitimate inheritance, do you think Castle Peak Academy can tolerate such a rebellious act? ”

"Shen Qianji!"

"Wechen is guilty, but everything Wechen does is for His Highness! Weichen does not want to completely erase Qingshan Academy, but just hopes to rectify it and change it into a academy that can obey His Highness, and pass it on to future generations, which will ensure that it is the future generations of His Highness! ”

Shen Qianji knelt on the ground, but all his words poured into King Xiang's ears word by word. King Xiang looked at the young man lying on the ground, and a chill surged in his heart, this person's thoughts were more far-reaching than his own, and his means would be even more vicious.

"Of course, this palace believes in your sincerity, but things must be done smoothly, naturally, and reasonably, otherwise the flaws will be wasted. You say, can this palace trust you completely? ”

"Wechen is willing to serve His Highness!"

"Lin Kun is dead, if you do this well, Dali Temple will be handed over to you in the future!"

The boxy sky above the imperial dining room, Fat Kui has been watching it for more than half a month, since he was edicted to enter Beijing to prepare a celebration meal for Emperor Liang, he has never had the opportunity to step out of the imperial city half a step, fortunately, Du Shaoyin is by his side, otherwise he will really be suffocated.

"Fat Kui!"

Du Shaoyin panted and ran to Fat Kui's side, and said in a strange tone: "You change locations every day, so it's easy for me to find them!" Even if you want to find a place where no one is around, you don't need to look here, right? ”

When I zoomed in, the place that Fat Kui was looking for was a courtyard in the far corner of the backyard of the imperial dining room, which had fallen into disrepair and had been abandoned, a narrow courtyard full of grass and dilapidated, and it didn't take a quarter of an hour to walk around. Looking smaller, Fat Kui was sitting on an abandoned well at this time, but Du Shaoyin didn't have to worry about Fat Kui falling down, after all, this wellhead was not as thick as Fat Kui's waist.

"It's less accessible here, so it's safer to talk! Do you have any news today? ”

This is a fixed question that Fat Kui asks every day, and after ten days, Du Shaoyin has become accustomed to it. Don't look at Fat Kui's big smug in the academy, as if he is very familiar with everyone, after all, it has been accumulated over thirty years. As soon as Fat Kui entered the imperial city, his whole person completely changed, he became cautious and silent, and the only one who could communicate without guilt was Du Shaoyin.

"Two days ago, something big did happen in the Imperial City!" Du Shaoyin's face was serious, "There will never be anything wrong with the shouting of killing and the sound of horses' hooves, but since that day, the people in the palace have been secretive about everything that happened before, no matter how I inquire, there is nothing to gain." ”

"No matter what happened in the Imperial City, it has nothing to do with us, why did you confine us in the Imperial Dining Room and not let us go back to the Academy?"

Fat Kui has obviously lost weight these days, even if he eats and lives well in the imperial city, Fat Kui feels that he can't stay for a day. The main work of the day is to cooperate with Du Shaoyin, and remake all the dishes on the celebration, every day, even if Emperor Liang likes it again, this same meal will be eaten for ten days, maybe ordinary people will not feel obviously bored, but after all, Emperor Liang is the emperor of Daliang, will he not be bored?

"I don't know what happened to the master and Senior Brother Chu? They won't see us for a long time, and we'll definitely find a way to go back! Du Shaoyin patted Fat Kui's shoulder and encouraged: "We have to believe in the master!" ”

Fat Kui was like a wronged child, leaning his head on Du Shaoyin's shoulder, such a strange scene fortunately no one saw.

If Bai Shi saw it, he could only say sorry to the two of them, let alone save Fat Kui and Du Shaoyin, Bai Shi couldn't even leave the palace now. Since the Qianyuan Palace Change, Emperor Liang was forced to move to the harem, and he became a "captive", a "captive" who received preferential treatment.

Bai Shi is in the apse of Qianyuan Palace, as long as you open the window, you can see the bloody place, Bai Shi still remembers the scene when he saw Chu Guo's body with his own eyes: Chu Guo's face was full of blood, and there were no less than ten wounds all over his body, most of which were knife wounds, but there was a wound that was obviously different, the wound was located on Chu Guo's left chest, through the wound, the wound was cone-shaped spiral, and the skin and flesh of the wound were seriously turned out.

Baishi only glanced at it, and Chu Kuang's body was carried away, but based on this glance, Shiraishi guessed who the person who gave Chu Kuang the fatal blow might be.
