The king of the East Sea was pale, and paced back and forth in the room, "It's over, it's all over, it's all over." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Tan sat on the chair, followed her husband, and said coldly: "Then why are you still in a hurry, wouldn't it be better to wait quietly for death?" ”

The King of the East China Sea stopped and sighed, "Your Majesty's assassination this time is too strange, the Cui Mansion and the Tihou Mansion are all surrounded, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and almost all the people around Your Majesty are imprisoned, and they will soon ...... Soon it will be our turn. ”

"Why? We have nothing to do with the stabbing thing. Tan wasn't particularly sure, and added, "It really doesn't matter, right?" ”

The King of the East China Sea sighed again, "Look, even you can't fully believe me, let alone the two queen mothers in the palace?" They are about to take power again, even if they only control the court for one day, the first thing they do is to attack me, which is called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. ”

The King of the East China Sea shuddered, and found that the Tan clan was still staring at him, and said angrily: "It's okay, of course it doesn't matter, if I ......" he lowered his voice in time, "If I am involved in this matter, I will naturally have to be prepared, how can I be so helpless as now?" ”

Tan nodded in convincing.

"It's okay with your Tan family, right?" The East Sea King asked.

"Since asking for help from the Ugly King, the status of the Tan family in the rivers and lakes has plummeted, and after moving to the East China Sea Kingdom, it is even more cold in front of the door, it is not bad not to be bullied, who still comes to us to discuss such a big matter?"

The King of the East Sea also stared at Tan, insisting that she answer directly.

"No, as far as I know, there is no other Tan family in the capital besides me."

"It's been three days, and Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet, if it's really a case, are you willing to die with me?"

"What if you don't want to, can I do this kind of thing?" Tan scoffed at the East Sea King's request, "If you think about it, this may be a chance for you." ”

The king of the East China Sea was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "My princess, you think too simply, this is an opportunity, it is clearly a dead end, as soon as your majesty has an accident, the first order in the palace is to take the emperor and close the Cui Mansion, and even the queen is not allowed to return to the palace, it is clear that the Cui family will be uprooted." No matter what the real relationship between the Cui family and me is, people all over the world think that the Cui family is my backer, and if the backer falls, who cares about me? ”

"Maybe."

"There was no 'maybe', this time it was so accurate that I could feel the sound of the blade slashing back and forth on my neck." The King of the East Sea shuddered again.

Tan was much calmer than her husband, and thought for a while, "Then you have to find a way to save yourself." ”

The King of the East China Sea couldn't cry or laugh, "Unless Your Majesty wakes up, otherwise, it is useless to say anything to people for swords and for fish and meat." ”

"You can find out the messenger of the Lord."

"Huh?" The King of the East Sea didn't understand what Tan meant.

"Whether you want to uproot the Cui family or get rid of you, the only crime is stabbing driver, right?"

The East Sea King nodded.

"Find out the main messenger and prove that the Cui family is the victim who was implicated, won't you have all the charges on your heads?"

"The assassin was killed on the spot, the main messenger is Yun Mengze's robber, the matter is clear, what else is there to find? The point is that the assassination took place in Cui's mansion, and the assassin hid by Cui Teng's side for several months......"

"The Cui family is not so stupid, they didn't even prepare for it after the assassination, and the whole family was arrested."

"That's right! But outsiders don't see it that way, especially the people in the palace, the Queen Mother has always been wary of the Cui family, and now she has found a ready-made reason, she didn't immediately order the Cui family to be beheaded, which is already magnanimous. And me, she is also on guard against me, and it will be my turn after solving the Cui family. ”

Tan shook his head, "Don't think about the Cui family, let's talk about the assassins first......"

"The assassin is dead!" The King of the East Sea said angrily.

Tan snorted softly, and the King of the East Sea immediately turned his anger into laughter, "I mean there's really nothing to check on the assassins' side, you won't ...... You don't know something, do you? ”

"What can I know? I've only seen Yun Mengze's people, and there are a lot of strange people, but if they can hide dozens of people in the capital with their own skills, and let one of them get close to the emperor, I don't believe it. ”

The King of the East China Sea was shocked in his heart, "I have also seen Yun Mengze's people, and there is one person who has been my guard...... You're right, they don't know the life in the capital, they don't have the ability to hide so well, and they must find someone to help. ”

The King of the East Sea thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the door, "I have to go see someone." ”

"See whom?" Tan did not allow her husband to do his own thing.

The King of the East China Sea stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "The people who followed His Majesty to visit Cui Hong were all detained in the Cui Mansion, and the others were left in the Tired Hou Mansion, but there is one person who knows a lot about the assassination, but he does not belong to His Majesty's cronies, nor is he in the two mansions, and he should still remain free." I'm going to go to the judiciary to join the army Lian Danchen. ”

"Can you get out of the house?"

"Yes, but there will be people in the palace to follow me, it doesn't matter, let him report to the palace, at least let the Queen Mother know that I am open-minded."

Having said that, the King of the East China Sea was still a little uneasy when he left the mansion, and he thought of a bunch of excuses in advance.

As soon as he walked to the front yard, a servant ran in front of him, his steps were hurried, and he was panicked, and the king of the East China Sea was shocked, and then his whole body was cold, his feet were weak, and he almost sat down on the ground.

Could it be that the emperor is no longer good? Could it be that the Queen Mother is going to do it? Will I be able to escape this time?

A series of thoughts popped up in the heart of the King of the East Sea.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is a great and great man who asks to see you."

"Which one?"

"That...... The ......," the servant could not answer.

The King of the East China Sea was angry and anxious, if he hadn't been able to lift his legs, he really wanted to kick hard, "One person, or many people?" ”

"Alone."

The king of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, if the palace came to arrest him, he would never send only one person.

"Go, please come in."

The servant was ordered to withdraw.

The king of the East China Sea glanced at the gate, and the two eunuchs in the palace were also looking at him, the king of the East China Sea did not dare to look at each other, hurriedly turned around, and entered the front hall, wanting to pour a cup of tea, and found that his arm was shaking.

It didn't take long for the servant to bring the visitor in, and the king of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the priest of the country, Qu Zixi, and at the same time there was a little wonder in his heart, daring to enter his own door at such a time, this Confucian was not small.

"Master Qu." The king of the East Sea greeted him with a smile and motioned for the servant to bring hot tea.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea." Qu Zixi returned the salute respectfully.

"Which gust of wind blew Lord Qu here, please take a seat."

Qu Zixi shook his head, "I won't sit down, I'll just ask a few words and leave immediately." ”

"Okay." The King of the East Sea said blankly.

Qu Zixi stared at the King of the East China Sea, "The matter of the assassination has nothing to do with you. ”

The King of the East China Sea stomped his feet and swore to the sky, "If there is anything to do with it, let me be hit by five thunders from the sky now." ”

"According to rumors in the DPRK, the Empress Dowager Cining will summon Zong Zhengqing Han Chou and Prime Minister Shen Mingzhi tomorrow to discuss the matter of establishing a prince."

The King of the East China Sea was shocked, "Empress Dowager Cining? How is this—how is this possible? ”

"It's not important, the key is not to let Han Zongzheng participate in the establishment of the reserve."

"Yes, no, Your Majesty has always disliked him, and even ......" The King of the East China Sea hesitated, decided to reveal a little secret, waved his hand and ordered the servant who came in with the tea to withdraw, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has long wanted to bring Han Chou to justice, but he hasn't had time to do it yet." And Han Chou's affair with the assassination is unclear, I really don't understand what the Queen Mother thinks. ”

"Empress Dowager Cining lives deep in the palace, and everything she sees and hears is the benefit of Han Chou, of course she will not doubt him."

"Alas, it's also that Your Majesty doesn't return to the palace often, and some things are too well hidden."

"So someone has to explain the truth to the Empress Dowager Cining, at least let her not trust Han Chou too much."

The king of the East China Sea spread his hands, "I can't help it, Lord Qu must have seen the eunuch at the door, it was a person in the palace, I was not even free to go out of my own gate, let alone enter the palace to persuade the queen mother." ”

"I know you can't enter the palace, I want to ask the King of the East China Sea to recommend someone who is familiar with the inside story and can enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Cining."

The King of the East China Sea scratched his head, "Jing Zhaoyin knows a little about joining the army, but he can't enter the palace, and the others are left in the Cui Mansion and the Tihou Mansion, let alone enter the palace." ”

"Among the noble sons and Confucian scholars that His Majesty often summons, no one knows the inside story?"

The King of the East China Sea thought for a while and shook his head, "Your Majesty summoned these people to discuss either military intelligence or major matters to govern the world, and it has nothing to do with Han Chou. ”

"Think again." Qu Zixi had already found a scholar close to the emperor, and only came to visit the king of the East China Sea after he found nothing.

The King of the East China Sea thought for a while, "Lord Qu also has an opinion on Han Chou, huh?" ”

Qu Zixi said: "Now is not the time to test each other, I have been in Luoyang, and Your Majesty has let me see something, so I know that Han Chou must not be allowed to take power." ”

The King of the East China Sea was a little reluctant, but now, he couldn't help but have any reservations, "Jing Yao, in order to deal with Han Chou, he was also summoned by His Majesty, he doesn't seem to live in the Tired Hou Mansion, and he didn't follow into the Cui Mansion, maybe he still has the freedom of movement, and he can enter the palace to explain the truth." ”

"Former Central Supervisor Jing Yao?"

"Yes, he was released by His Majesty to do some chores."

Qu Zixi nodded, "Anything else?" ”

"As far as I know, there aren't." The King of the East China Sea leaned closer, "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

"I know a little about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but I don't know anything about the affairs of the palace. So be it, farewell. ”

Qu Zixi turned around to leave, but the King of the East China Sea stopped, "Wait, Lian Danchen is investigating assassins, maybe it will be useful, Lord Qu can go and meet, if possible, let Lian Danchen better come to me." ”

"Okay." Qu Zixi left in a hurry, and said loudly to the two eunuchs who were staring at him at the gate of the palace: "In the lower country, the priest Qu Zixi has no selfish thoughts, and he specializes in fighting against the rebellious ministers and thieves, what else do you want to know?" ”

The two eunuchs were startled and shook their heads at the same time.

Qu Zixi strode out of the door, although the emperor only showed a little meaning, although he had not officially entered the imperial history platform, he still felt that he had an obligation and responsibility to deal with Han Chou.

As for the emperor's life and death, he didn't think about it, his own life and death didn't matter, he had to fight to the end no matter what.

The king of the East Sea in the hall was deeply glad that a big trouble had been transferred to someone else. (To be continued.) )
