The morning of the second day ended, and Shi Zhan's father and son, as usual, left last.

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, a little eunuch suddenly stepped forward and blocked the way of the father and son.

"I've seen Master Hou, I've seen Gongzi." The little eunuch saluted and said.

"Didn't you serve Your Majesty with Lu An? What's the matter? Shi Min asked.

"Childe remembers right, Childe also saved the slave that day. Father-in-law Lu has a saying, let the minions pass it on to you. The little eunuch whispered.

When Shi Min heard this, he hurriedly looked around vigilantly, lowered his head and asked, "What words?" ”

"Around midnight last night, King Qing entered the palace from Guanghua Gate, and on the path behind the Imperial Doctor's Pavilion, led by Liu Guifei's personal maidservant, he went to Huilan Palace, and left before he arrived at about ugly time."

"Huilan Palace?" Shi Min was shocked and looked at Shi Zhan.

Shi Zhan frowned slightly, quite calm, and asked, "Lu Anke has other things you want to convey?" ”

The little eunuch shook his head and replied, "Lord Hou, that's all there is to it. ”

Shi Zhan nodded and ordered: "Ben Hou knows, thank you little brother, farewell!" ”

The little eunuch was very frightened when he saw that Shi Zhan was so polite to him, took a step back, saluted respectfully and said, "Hou Ye go slowly, Gongzi go slowly." ”

"Father, King Qing went to Huilan Palace in the middle of the night, this is a big crime!"

"I'm afraid this is an opportunity to bring down the Qingwang Mansion."

"Father, now that we know about this, why don't we just tell Your Majesty? What are you waiting for? ”

"Your Majesty? Do you have proof? Shi Zhan asked.

"This ......"

"My father has already decided to establish King Qing as the crown prince, and he naturally trusts him very much, and it is impossible to do this with the words of Lu An and a few others. Moreover, if this matter is provoked by our Xihuahou Mansion, Your Majesty will definitely think that we are causing trouble and deliberately framed us. ”

"So what do we do?"

"Wait!"

"When the time comes?"

"That's right! When the time is ripe, bring down King Qing's Mansion and rescue King Yan, these two must be synchronized. Either you don't make a move on Qingwangfu, you must hit a fatal blow, and you can't leave room for it! ”

"Got it!" Shi Min nodded.

The father and son had just left the palace gate when a fast horse galloped and shouted, "Get out of the way!" Yanmen Pass Emergency! Get out of the way! Yanmen Pass Emergency! ”

"Father! Could it be that Yanmen Pass is in a hurry? Could it be that the Huns made some moves? ”

Shi Zhan's face sank, nodded silently, and said, "It should be!" ”

"Is there another war?"

"At the beginning of the year, the Huns entered the customs and plundered, quite harvested, and now it is the season of autumn high horse fat, and the Huns are likely to act again!"

"The person who delivered the letter to Shi Yong just set off yesterday, so I'm afraid Shi Yong won't have time to take care of Wen Cang's affairs."

"Let's go, let's go back first!"

The father and son returned to the Xihua Marquis Mansion, Xu San was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Shi Zhan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "General, something happened!" ”

Shi Min looked at Xu San with a puzzled expression, but Shi Zhan ordered: "Come into the house and say!" ”

As soon as he sat down in the front hall, Xu San took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Shi Zhan, and said, "This is a letter sent by General Wang Shicheng. ”

Shi Zhan opened the letter and looked at it, and his face, which was already dark, became even more ugly.

"Father, what's going on?" Shi Min asked.

"Your third uncle's letter said that recently, the Hun cavalry has been moving south on a large scale, approaching Yanmen Pass, and it seems that there is an intention to go south. The Xianbei people in Liaodong were also not at peace, and in the Youzhou area, the Xianbei army also began to be stationed on a large scale. ”

Shi Zhan said and handed the letter to Shi Min.

Shi Min said while looking at it: "It must not be an accident that the Huns and the Xianbei people mobilized troops and horses at the same time!" ”

"They know that the people of the Central Plains are thin now, and there is a shortage of food and grass. And the national policy of Tuntian has already been implemented, and in time, the national strength of Zhao will rise, and the troops will be sufficient, and it will be even more difficult for them to plot against the Central Plains. ”

After reading the letter, Shi Min said to Shi Zhan: "Father, what do you think Your Majesty will do if he knows about this situation?" ”

"Your Majesty should not send troops to fight with the Huns and Xianbei people, because if the current Zhao State starts a war on both sides, it will only make the people more miserable and the national strength will be even weaker."

"The child thinks that the Xiongnu and Xianbei are mostly testing us, Yanmen Pass is a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Huns want to go south to enter the pass, it is not so easy. As for the Xianbei people, they lost 60,000 elites last year, and they will not start a full-scale war with Zhao State now. ”

"That being said, frequent intrusions are always inevitable!" Shi Zhan said, stood up, frowned, walked back and forth in the room, and said, "Yanmen Pass is guarded by Shi Yong, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem." But there are no unscrupulous generals in Youzhou, and they are not afraid of the Xianbei people's attack, but they are afraid that the defenders will take the initiative to attack and fall into the Xianbei people's scheme. If such a thing really happens, then the land of Youzhou will be dangerous. ”

"Father's meaning, should you stick to it?"

"That's right! As long as they can't hold on, the Xianbei and the Huns won't be able to bargain much. ”

"But I don't know if Your Majesty will think so!"

"I hope Your Majesty can see the current situation!" Shi Zhan sighed and said helplessly.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the house: "General! Someone is in the palace! ”

"Father, could it be that His Majesty summoned you?" Shi Min asked.

"Possibly! Walk! Check it out! Shi Zhan said, turned around and walked out.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a forbidden army standing there waiting, and when he saw Shi Zhan's father and son coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, Son, Your Majesty is urgently summoned, please enter the palace quickly!" ”

"Dare to ask this brother, what is the so-called matter of His Majesty's summoning?" Shi Min asked.

"The villain is not particularly clear, it seems that Yanmen Pass sent an urgent report, and the assassin of Youzhou also sent a letter, His Majesty summoned the two, there should be something important to discuss."

Shi Min looked at Shi Zhan and did not speak. Shi Zhan nodded and said to the man: "You go back to the palace first, and you will arrive soon!" ”

"Yes!"

"Xu San, let someone go and bring the horse!" Shi Zhan commanded.

"Good!" As Xu San spoke, he beckoned a subordinate beside him to go, and asked, "General, do you need a reply from General Wang Shicheng?" ”

"Where is the messenger?" Shi Zhan asked.

"Just finished eating, should be resting now." Xu San replied.

"After a while, let him bring a letter to Wang Shicheng, and ordered him to send a scout horse to the front line outside Yanmen Pass and Jicheng in Youzhou to investigate the movements of the Huns and Xianbei people.

"Good!" Xu San nodded.

"And! Ordered Li Chang to step up drills, and the amount of grain and grass in the army was also used by Qin Huaishan, so that Qin Huaishan could make a good overall plan, maybe he would use troops at any time! ”

"Humble duty understood! Do it now! ”

"General! The horse is here! A subordinate shouted at the gate.

Shi Zhan glanced at the door and instructed Shi Min, "Go!" Go to the palace! ”

The autumn is high and cool, and Liu Guifei is strolling in the back garden with the support of several maidservants. Suddenly, a woman's shout came, and Liu Guifei looked up and couldn't help but sneer.

"Let's go, go with the palace to teach the slut a lesson." Liu Guifei instructed a few maidservants around her.

"Yes......"

Everyone helped Liu Guifei and walked over, it turned out that Xiao Xiang was humiliating and beating a woman with several eunuchs and palace maids from Huilan Palace.

"Concubine Zhang, I haven't seen you for many days, you are bold!" Liu Guifei said in a weird way.

"Mother's life! Mother's life! Concubine Zhang was torn by Xiaoxiang and others and was almost unclothed, her hair was messy, crying and begging for mercy.

"Spare your life? Ouch, feed my Concubine Zhang, how dare this palace do to you? You crawled into His Majesty's bed without a sound! Why do you need to look at Hongu's face? Well? ”

"! The slave didn't want to ...... The slave knows that she is wrong......"

"You don't want to?" Liu Guifei sneered and said, "It seems that you don't want to serve Your Majesty when you enter the palace, so what are your intentions?" If Your Majesty knew that you were disobedient, I am afraid that he would kill you, right? ”

When Concubine Zhang heard this, she became even more flustered, and crawled to Liu Guifei's feet, hugged her legs, and cried and shouted: "Niangniang! Spare the slave and maid......"

Liu Guifei was holding her big belly, and she was hugged by Concubine Zhang like this, and almost fell, but fortunately there were a few maidservants who supported her, so she was even more annoyed and scolded: "You slut, do you want to kill the child in the womb of the palace!" ”

"Nope! No! Slaves don't dare! Concubine Zhang hurriedly let go of her hand.

"Xiaoxiang!"

"The slave is here!"

"Give this palace a good lesson to this!" Liu Guifei pointed at Concubine Zhang on the ground viciously and said.
