In the warm pavilion of the Great Xia Palace, Emperor Yuning, as in the past, dispersed in the early morning and returned to the warm pavilion to prepare for dinner. Emperor Yuning had just served the soup, and a figure walked in at the door. Emperor Yuning didn't raise his head and continued to drink the soup, he knew that if he dared to come in and disturb him during meal time, there would be no one else except Huai.

"What, something?" Emperor Yuning put down the soup cup and asked softly.

"Back to Your Majesty, last night in the Xiangguo Mansion, personnel were frequently dispatched. Feng Zhun, the squire of the military department, and Dezhang, the third prince, both went to Xiangguo's mansion late at night. And there were more than 30 people holding the waist card of the Prime Minister and went out of the city overnight. Lord Huai whispered.

Emperor Yuning looked at the breakfast calmly, "What do you want to do, is it difficult for Yu Ban to do it, it was Shangguan Xuanwu who made some moves, forcing him to mess up." ”

"Is this not, after the Heavenly Master Hall entered the Dali Temple, it didn't do anything."

Emperor Yuning leaned back slightly, looked at Huai and asked, "Then what do you think, what is Yu Ban planning to do?" ”

"Feng Zhun and Prince Dezhang entered the mansion late at night, there should be something important to discuss. If it's just for Hu Weilin's case, Yu Ban doesn't have to. I have ordered an undercover agent in the house to investigate immediately, and I believe that news will come soon. ”

As soon as Lord Huai finished speaking, he heard a light cough outside the door, and Wei Dong said softly, "Your Majesty, someone in the Investigation Department is anxious to see Lord Huai." ”

Emperor Yuning was slightly stunned and nodded, "Go ahead." ”

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, the minister will be back soon." After Lord Huai finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out. He knew that if it wasn't important news, he would never come here to report it.

Emperor Yuning continued to eat breakfast, but in his mind, he was wondering what Yu Ban wanted to do. Although the ancestral system of Great Xia did not prohibit the prince from associating with ministers, it was also unreasonable to visit him late at night. What's more, if the ministers go too close, they will be sick, and Feng Zhun actually went to the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night. All this made Emperor Yuning slightly uneasy.

Emperor Yuning was not in the mood to eat any more, and he had not appeared in the court for so many days, it seemed that it was time to go out of the mountain. Otherwise, if the chaos continues, it will be difficult for him to control this degree. Emperor Yuning was thinking about it, and Lord Huai hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, it seems that something has happened to Zhanfeng in the military plane."

"What?" Emperor Yuning was slightly moved.

"According to the report from the spies, Zhanfeng did not come back after leaving the forbidden military camp yesterday. Something was wrong with the military plane's order to stay up all night and not be checked by the clerical officer. ”

The military commander guards the safety of the capital and the imperial palace, and must keep in touch with his subordinates at all times. In case there is something going on in the palace, you can find the military order as soon as possible. Zhan Feng did not prepare for investigation and did not return all night, which is simply a violation of military regulations. Emperor Yuning's first thought was the safety of the palace, and Yu Ban's movements last night made him feel that there was a huge conspiracy hidden here.

Seeing that Emperor Yuning didn't speak, Lord Huai continued, "Your Majesty, just in case, the minister thinks it's better to take a plan. Once there is any movement on the side of the forbidden military camp, it is better to be prepared. ”

Emperor Yuning's face gradually sank, and he nodded slightly and said, "If there is really a disobedience, then I really want to see what they are going to do." Wei Dong~! ”

Emperor Yuning shouted softly, and Wei Dong hurriedly ran in, "The old slave is here." ”

Emperor Yuning pondered for a moment and said, "Spread the secret decree and order the Ruifeng battalion to enter the Taihe Hall and take over the defense of the inner palace." The Kyoto battalion was ordered to dispatch 50,000 soldiers and horses to move closer to Kyoto in the name of autumn hunting, and stationed within 20 miles of each other to stand by. In addition, all palace guards are on standby and are not allowed to go out on pretense. ”

"No!" Wei Tong agreed, and there was a hint of imperceptible fear in his eyes. Wei Dong obviously felt that there was going to be a big upheaval in Kyoto.

As soon as Wei Dong left, Lord Huai said softly, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that this Wei manager is a little worried. ”

"This slave knows the depths, but you're right, it's better to be on guard. Huai, you also sent someone to send a secret message to the Kyoto camp. As for the Ruifeng Battalion, Wei Dong didn't dare to do anything yet. "Emperor Yuning said.

"Your Majesty, why don't you directly order the Kyoto battalion to be stationed in Kyoto and take over the defense of the whole city. In case there is chaos on the side of the forbidden military camp, it may be difficult to suppress the manpower of the Ruifeng battalion. Lord Huai said worriedly.

"People are unpredictable, and it is better to cover it than to open the lid. I'm not afraid of him moving, I'm afraid of him not moving. Although there are few people in the Ruifeng camp, with the palace guards, there is no problem in holding on for two hours. The Kyoto camp was less than 20 miles away, and it only took half an hour to arrive. I set up this empty city plan to see if they dare to take advantage of it. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister will order people to closely monitor all the vital places, and report any movement to Your Majesty at any time."

Emperor Yuning nodded slightly, "Go ahead, I allow you to act expediently." ”

"No! The minister retired. ”

Lord Huai hurriedly walked out of the warm pavilion, and Emperor Yuning's emaciated face looked particularly old. He didn't want to force Yu Ban to come to this point, after all, it was too big a blow to the foundation of Great Xia. It is very easy to kill one Yu Ban, but it is very difficult to completely control the capital of this world. Emperor Yuning also knew that over the years, Yu Ban's disciples had spread all over the world, and many of them held important positions in the local capitals. If they are held accountable, they must all be taken down. But in that case, I'm afraid that Great Xia will be in turmoil for three to five years.

Emperor Yuning sighed, he didn't know if his body could withstand the turmoil of the past three or five years. And as soon as the ban falls, the prince is in contention, and the third prince Dezhang must be out. This is Emperor Yuning's most optimistic about taking over the throne, the eldest and second Deqing, Emperor Yuning feels that there is still too much missing.

In Kyoto, Great Xia, the news of the disappearance of the military aircraft Ling Zhanfeng spread throughout the mansions within a day. In normal times, the disappearance of a military attache from the fourth rank would not attract much attention. However, the military aircraft made this position too sensitive, and the officials in the court were all old and sophisticated figures, and they immediately captured a different atmosphere.

Hanlin Academy, the capital of the imperial history Wu Guangguang has not set foot here for a long time. But today, he had to come to find the old Hanlin Wang Shidu.

"Old Bachelor, the movements in Kyoto can't be hidden from your old Fa'er, I wonder what the old Bachelor thinks about the current situation?" Wu Guangguang asked respectfully.

"Light, how do you think of the old man at this time. Above the court, you support the eldest prince Deguang. The upright Wang Shidu said straight to the point.

Wu Guangguang smiled bitterly, "Old bachelor, it's not a question of who to support now. Can't you see that there is going to be a big collision? ”

Wang Shidu put his hands behind his back and sighed again and again, "The human heart is not ancient, the sky is unpredictable, if you want me to say, none of them can afford to collide." The rivers and mountains left by the ancestors will be finished sooner or later if they continue like this. ”

"But we have to do something."

"What can be done? What we have to do is to stabilize our own mess. Nothing else can be done. ”

"Old bachelor, can't we invite Your Majesty to the court? Now the people's hearts are panicking, and only His Majesty's arrival can stabilize people's hearts. Wu Guangguang said anxiously.

Wang Shidu shook his head, "At this time, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be difficult to suppress the formation. I'm old, and I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Light, the best thing now is to go back and close the door and wait for the situation to change. ”

Seeing that Lao Hanlin had no intention of coming out, Wu Guangguang could only return to the mansion helplessly. Under such a critical situation, Wu Guangguang, who was unarmed, could only wait and see. But the old Hanlin is different, this foolish old bachelor, convinced that the profound royal family can control the overall situation.

A whole day passed, and the people in Kyoto were panicking, and they were all talking about the disappearance of the military aircraft Ling Zhanfeng. The three princes even jointly ordered that the arresting offices of the Criminal Department send all their personnel to find the whereabouts of the military aircraft Ling Zhanfeng. Only the Heavenly Master Hall didn't go anywhere today, and held a banquet under the banner of welcoming the Seven Princes.

That night, Duan Lang and Li Jianshan came to Zhang Ruming's room again. Don't look at the three of them drinking and having fun all day, but they also pay close attention to the various movements in Kyoto.

The three of them looked at each other, and Li Jianshan took the lead in saying, "Xusheng and Zhiliang went to several mansions today, and the ministers were all closed, and all the generals were on standby. It seems that a show of wind has scared everyone. Brother Duan Lang, tell me about your information. ”

"I don't have any information."

"Don't come to this set, that woman came twice a day today, what did you two talk about sneakily, tell me honestly." Li Jianshan glared.

Duan Lang replied, "You guy is leaving some virtue in his mouth, what is sneaky, the other person Azhu is coming to me in a bright and bright way." ”

"Azhu? Who is Azhu. Zhang Ruming suddenly came to his senses.

Li Jianshan pouted, "His men." ”

When Zhang Ruming heard this, he immediately understood that Li Jianshan was talking about the shadower, "Duan Lang, don't hide it in your kid, just tell the news." ”

Duan Lang looked at the two of them helplessly, and said simply, "Okay, today Azhu stared at Gao Zhizan, the official of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for a morning. She found that Gao Zhizan went to several trading houses, and these trading houses should have some problems, so I sent her to continue to follow to see the situation. ”

"Comptoir? What is Gao Zhizan doing in a trading house at this juncture, it won't be because he wants to exchange money and run away, right? Zhang Ruming said suspiciously.

Duan Lang shook his head, "It doesn't look like it, Ah Zhu said that there are a lot of strangers from the trading house, and there are quite a few people, but it doesn't look like a businessman." ”

Li Jianshan said, "There's no need to pay too much attention to this kind of person, tell the news to Dali Temple tomorrow, and let them send someone to check it." ”

Zhang Ruming nodded, "Jianshan is right, I'll tell Fan Cheng when I go back and ask him to send someone to take a look." After tomorrow morning, everyone is ready, and it is time for us to come forward. ”、

Duan Lang said, "It's easy to light a fire and it's hard to put out a fire, be careful not to put our Heavenly Master Hall in." ”

"What should the people of Xiangguofu really do if they want to do it?" Li Jianshan asked.

"Fight, they dare to do it, we must not suffer. Of course, if there are many people, then withdraw first. Zhang Ruming smiled sharply.

", you can't say something tough, take out our spirit in Yushanguan, and do it with them." Duan Lang scolded with a smile.

In the entire Kyoto, three guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are secretly studying how to deal with Yu Ban. At this time, Yu Ban felt more and more uneasy. The transfer of the Ruifeng Battalion convinced him of his own judgment. It seems that Emperor Yuning's guillotine was really raised. What Yu Ban is most worried about now is the lack of time, and the soldiers and horses from the local capitals will not arrive in three days. If Emperor Yuning is in trouble at this time, he can only sit back and wait for death.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yuning, who had not yet gotten up, saw Huai hurriedly walking into his warm pavilion. Outside the bedroom, Wei Dong said softly.

"Master, Lord Huai is here."

Emperor Yuning coughed softly twice, "Let him in." ”

"No!"

After a while, Lord Huai bowed down and walked in. Although he was unimpeded in the palace, it was the first time he reported to Emperor Yuning in the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister's innocence, if it is not urgent, the minister will not dare to disturb His Majesty's clear dream."

"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want."

"Your Majesty, I just received a secret report from the following capitals. Xiadu Mansion, Chengyang Mansion, Jigang Mansion, Molan Mansion and Kale Mansion, the city defense soldiers and horses left the city one after another under the banner of autumn military exercises. After the minister's inspection, the decrees of these prefectures are all protégés of Yu Ban. The minister felt that this matter was not trivial, and hoped that His Majesty would make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"What? In total, how many troops and horses are being moved. When Emperor Yuning heard this, he immediately sat up.

"It's not clear yet, but according to the number of soldiers in the capital's city defense, there should be as many as 50,000."

Emperor Yuning's brows furrowed, "It's a good Yu Ban, what does he want to do, do you want to compete with me for the world." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the soldiers and horses of the Kyoto battalion should be mobilized immediately to arrest Yu Ban and his comrades."

Emperor Yuning closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "If he doesn't move, I can't move." Now arrested, in what name will it be announced to the world? If these cities are really performing in the autumn, how can I serve the people if I do this? ”

Emperor Yuning is also very difficult, what he needs now is the stability of the world, not the shaking of the national foundation. What's more, there must always be an opportunity to arrest Yu Ban. You can't rely on this information to accuse him of treason. In that case, he Emperor Yuning will also fall into the name of a jealous and virtuous minister, the ministers will be cold, and the people of the world will even criticize the pen valve. What's more, it will cause chaos in the world.

At this time, above the court, the ministers suddenly discovered that the Shangguan Xuanwu of the Heavenly Master Hall actually appeared among the courtiers again. But today, everyone's focus is on Xiangguo Yuban's head.

As soon as the three princes opened the dynasty, Feng Zhun, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward and said, "The three highnesses, the military aircraft ordered Zhanfeng to disappear a few days ago, but the forbidden army cannot be left without an owner for a day. After deliberations, the Ministry of War decided that the Upper Academy would act as an order, and hoped that the three Highnesses would issue a notice. ”

Feng Zhun's proposal immediately caused an uproar in the court. The Shangshu Academy is the location of Xiangguo's forbidden office, which is equivalent to letting Yu Ban directly control the forbidden military camp.

The third prince took the lead in standing up, "Lord Feng is right, the forbidden military camp is responsible for the safety of the imperial city, and it cannot be left without an owner for a day. Moreover, the military aircraft order Zhanfeng has always been heavily used by Xiangguo, and now the dispatch power is temporarily transferred to the Shang Academy, which is very suitable, and this prince seconded it. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister is against it." Wu Guangguang stood up, "The forbidden military camp belongs to Guanglu Temple, even if the authority is collected, it should be controlled by Master Chang of Guanglu Temple." ”

"Lord Wu is right, and the minister seconded it."

"The minister objected, although Guanglu Temple said that it was under the jurisdiction of the forbidden military camp, but you all know that it is the Shangshu Academy that really exercises its authority. The minister seconded the proposal, and the scheduling authority belonged to the Xiangguo. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal~!"

The court suddenly began to argue, Yu Ban glanced at everyone with a gloomy face, and said loudly.

"Shut up for me, the court is in chaos like this, do you still have the law and discipline in your hearts?"

Yu Ban's words suddenly quieted the chaotic court. The power of the country for many years suddenly shocked everyone. Zhang Ruming pouted and didn't speak, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is here, don't you want to get the right to dispatch the forbidden army.

Yu Ban looked at the three princes, "The three highnesses, the matter of showing the wind has caused panic in the hearts of the people, and the ministers dare to say something offensive. The minister felt that the three highnesses should ask His Majesty to end the fast and preside over the court. ”

Wu Guangguang was stunned, he didn't expect Yu Ban to invite His Majesty out of the mountain? Could it be that he is really sure of open confrontation?

The eldest prince Deguang looked embarrassed, "Yu Xiangguo, it's not that I can't wait, but ~ I can't see my father at all." Outside the warm pavilion, there is a heavy guard, and we can only let Manager Wei pass a word. ”

"But I wonder when Your Majesty will be able to end your fast?"

"This~ His Highness doesn't know."

Yu Ban took a deep breath, "Well, since even the three highnesses don't know when Your Majesty will be able to end his fast, then Xiangguo will put state affairs first and dare to be the master." Listed as a minister, the prime minister has been in the phase for many years, and I don't want to see my Great Xia dynasty and government go down like this. After this morning, the senior members of the six ministries will each have their own responsibilities, and each ministry must not slack off in its duties. Otherwise, the Prime Minister will be temporarily removed from his post with the power of the Prime Minister. In addition, there is no need to discuss the matter of the forbidden military camp, and this prime minister is directly in charge. If you are not satisfied, you can wait for Your Majesty to fast, and then impeach the true appearance. Three Highnesses, can you agree? Yu Ban looked at the three princes with a majestic gaze.

"This prince seconded!" The third prince Dezhang took the lead in expressing his position.

"Can the eldest prince agree?" Yu Ban asked again.

The eldest prince Deguang hesitated, and before he could speak, he heard someone among the courtiers shout, "I don't agree." Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Zhang Ruming stood up.

Yu Ban snorted disdainfully, "Shangguan Heavenly Master, today is different from the past, and courtiers below the second rank are not allowed to discuss politics. Otherwise, don't blame the prime minister for exercising the power of the prime minister to drive you out. ”

"Why?" Zhang Ruming looked at Yu Ban unconvinced.

"According to the rules established by the ancestral system, the prime minister has this right. Even if you have Shang Fang's sword, you are not qualified to interfere in the government at this time. Yu Ban said domineeringly.

Zhang Ruming was just about to refute, but the third prince Dezhang said angrily, "Shangguan Heavenly Master, do you want to provoke the ancestral system." ”

Zhang Ruming didn't know what the ancestral system was, but seeing everyone's worried eyes, Zhang Ruming had no choice but to say.

"Okay, since this official is not qualified to participate in the government, then I will leave. However, the official also has to exercise the duties of the officer. Lord Yu Ban, please go to Dali Temple to accept the official's interrogation after the early dynasty, there must be no mistake. ”

"Bastard! Let Benxiang go to Dali Temple to accept your inquiry? Are you worthy? Yu Banqi's beard was tied up.

"Don't care if I'm worthy or not, if you dare not go, this official will exercise his authority to go to the mansion to invite you. When the time comes, don't blame my Black Armor Brother for not giving face. Gone, anyway, the official is not qualified to participate in the government, and it is useless to stay here. After Zhang Ruming finished speaking, he walked out step by step with a figure-eight step.

Yu Banqi's whole body trembled, and he couldn't even speak. In his eyes, Shangguan Xuanwu was a raw melon embryo, and he dared to talk to him like this.

There was silence above the court, and the eyes of the courtiers were some shocked and some reverent. However, everyone thinks that this Shangguan Heavenly Master is just talking, and there is still any minister in the entire Great Xia who dares to send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to 'invite' people, isn't this tired. But everyone didn't expect that among the Great Xia courtiers, there was really such a tired three-grade master.
