"Listen to what the sixth princess said," the Empress Dowager Gongci said with a straight face, "It was the people of the Jianrui Battalion who went out to assassinate today, which I never expected." ”

"By the way, Queen Mother," Su Xiaoliu remembered something, and said busily, "The one who is responsible for arresting me to go to the Terracotta Division today is still the officer of the Jianrui Battalion, the one who will kill me this morning!" ”

"He's up again?" Yue Ling exclaimed, "It seems that they have been secretly watching you!" ”

Empress Dowager Gongci's face was solemn, she frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "It seems that the Jianrui Battalion has completely become the private soldier of Dingjun Wang Zaiquan!" Among the Praetorian Guards in Beijing, the cavalry battalion, the forward battalion, and the guard battalion are all under the jurisdiction of the commanders of each banner, and the authority is too scattered to be difficult to deploy for a while; The Shanpu camp and the pro-military camp are both close servants of the emperor, and they are away at the moment; At present, only the three armies, the Infantry Battalion, the Jianrui Battalion, and the Fengtai Battalion, can be deployed at any time to defend Gyeonggi with all their might. Now the Jianrui battalion is under the orders of the party of the king of Dingjun, and the Fengtai battalion is far away in the suburbs of Beijing, if there is really any change, only the five battalions of the infantry army commander Yamen are available, you see, what safety is there in the capital? ”

[Netizen]: What does this Queen Mother mean?

[Netizen]: Is it a coup d'état?

[Netizen]: This queen mother seems to be sixty or seventy, do you want to carry out a coup d'état and take the throne herself?

[Netizen]: Isn't this the Daoguang period? I haven't heard of the Queen Mother carrying out a coup d'état to "listen to the government"!

[Netizen]: It should be that she wants to prevent trouble before it happens, she may be afraid that others will carry out a coup d'état!

[Netizen]: It makes sense to say that!

Su Xiaoliu saw that the Queen Mother had counted the ownership of the Praetorian Guards stationed in the Beijing Division, and he was also very puzzled, and after watching the analysis of netizens in the live broadcast room, he also agreed with the statement "prevention is better than prevention", but the Queen Mother said that there must be other reasons for this, so she listened intently to what she was going to say next.

"Old Five," Empress Dowager Gongci said to Wang Yi of Xuanjun, "Before Prince Zheng died, he asked Yizhi to let their third son Duanhua seconded the officials of the infantry army to be dispatched by you. ”

"Yes," said Wang Yiyi, who nodded his head, "Sun Er originally thought that Prince Zheng had only made this arrangement to protect Su Liu. Now that I think about it carefully, I understand Prince Zheng's good intentions, the infantry army commander Yamen has five battalions of infantry troops, including flag soldiers and green battalions, with a total of about 20,000 people, including 4,000 cavalry, and 10,000 infantry troops can be deployed at present. After the death of Prince Zheng, his son Duanhua was going to 'serve and defend the system' in the palace, so his position of commanding the left wing of the Yamen was vacant. [Note (1)]

"That's right," Empress Dowager Gongci nodded in praise, "If you can figure out this section, it means that you, the 'little fifth master', still have made progress!" I will pass on the decree to you now, let you temporarily take over the post of Duanhua's left-wing commander-in-chief, and then you will go to Prince Zheng's mansion to pass the decree to Duanhua, and you will hand over the letter. With that, he glanced back at Xiuyin.

Xiuyin understood, turned around and took out an envelope with an edict written on it from her sleeve and handed it to Yi Cheng.

"Yes, I will do it!" Wang Yicheng leaned over and saluted, raised his hand to take it, and put it in his sleeve.

"Daoist Xue's side," Empress Dowager Gongci continued, "I also have a will. ”

Xue Jing hurriedly stood up, took a few steps forward, stood in front of the Empress Dowager Gongci, bowed his head and said, "Please send a message to the Empress Dowager!" ”

Empress Dowager Gongci said: "Wen Qing, who was formerly the imperial history of Zuodu and the secretary of the military department, and walked on the military plane, was sent to Sichuan and Shu by them to investigate the case of Meng Bao and others' embezzlement of ink, which has been several months, and this case is widely implicated, and it is difficult to conclude the case for a while, but Wen Qing, who is a messenger, cannot always stay in Sichuan and Shu. Now the two parties in Beijing and Mu are attacking each other, and the hundred officials either vote for each other, or retreat to wait and see, so it is necessary for the more senior ministers to return to Beijing to preside, Wenqing Hanlin was born, and the family has been an official for three generations, and he is a sensible person. I wanted him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but it was inconvenient for me to issue an edict clearly, so I bothered the Taoist chief to make a hard trip, personally went to Sichuan and Shu, and passed my secret decree to him! ”

After that, Xiuyin took out another envelope and stepped forward to hand it to Xue Jingyi.

Xue Jingyi bent over and bowed, and said, "Jingyi respectfully obeys Yi's will. ”

"This matter involves confidentiality," said the Empress Dowager Gongci, "After the Taoist Master takes the stage in the Yuanling Palace, he can take a few entourages to go to Kunlun Mountain to collect the 'Millennium Lingzhi' in the name of going to Beijing to Sichuan and Shu, these things, Fuji will help you arrange!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Jingyi bent over and replied.

"So that's the case," Su Xiaoliu said secretly in his heart, "It seems that this Queen Mother is not obsessed with this fake Taoist priest's immortality, but just asked him to pretend to be the Queen Mother's practice on stage, and then in the name of looking for a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, he covered people's eyes and ears and went out of Beijing to find that Wenqing." It seems that this old queen mother really has the means, one thing in the open and one thing in the dark! ”

[Netizen]: Who is this Wenqing? How important is it?

[Netizen]: I see a lot of titles, I think it's a powerful character!

[Netizen]: Maybe it's the Queen Mother's cronies!

[Netizen]: It may also be the face of the Queen Mother!

[Netizen]: This queen mother is seventy, she is all old, can she still play her face?

[Netizen]: Why do you have all these things in your heads?

"Fu Ji," Empress Dowager Gong Ci turned her head to look at Fu Ji, "Has the excerpt that Wan Chao is going to play have arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," replied Fu Ji, "it has been handed over to the Yamen, waiting for the seal of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" ”

Empress Dowager Gongci asked, "You are a hall official, have you read all the contents of his manuscript?" What's involved? ”

"The secret fold on Wan Chao has never been previewed by the minion," Fu Ji said, "but the minion also learned the general content of the performance from others. Wan Chao wanted to use the case of the White Lotus Sect against the party that he had in his hand to drag Su Shun in, and the rebels imprisoned by Bing Sima had already been sent by Wan Chao to confess, so that they could identify Su Shun together! ”

"Huh?" Su Xiaoliu's heart froze, "This guy surnamed Wan is so bad? Letting someone falsely accuse me? Grandma, when Lao Tzu turns over, you must find a chance to clean up this guy when you turn around! ”

"Su Liu is a clan," Empress Dowager Gongci said strangely, "Attacking the clan and the White Lotus against the party is colluding, I'm afraid this is too far-fetched, right?" Besides, cases involving the clan should be reported to the clan for handling, how could he be arrested and interrogated with a single soldier and horse division? ”

"Yes, the minions find it strange too." "However, this is indeed the content of the current recital. According to the analysis of the minions, since the identity of the clan before Su Shun was unknown, Wan Chao must have grasped this point and let those prisoners frame him. Even if there is no solid evidence in retrospect, Wan Chao can also excuse himself by saying that only because the person involved in the case confessed, so he asked Su Shun; As for the fact that the sect was not reported, it can also be inferred that he did not know the identity of Su Shun's clan in advance! ”

"I think," Wang Yi of the county took a step forward and said, "Wan Chao is asking for directions by throwing stones, and he will definitely play again, and the specific medicine sold in the gourd is still unclear!" ”

"Well," Empress Dowager Gongci nodded, and said to Fu Ji, "You continue to stare at this Wan Chao, if there is any movement, come and report to me immediately!" ”

"Huh!" Fuji replied.

"As for Su Liu,...... Empress Dowager Gongci's eyes fell on Su Xiaoliu and hesitated.

Su Xiaoliu heard her talk about herself, and her heart tightened: "It seems that there is still a task to arrange for me!" ”

He looked up slightly, and saw Yue Ling standing beside the Empress Dowager Gongci and smiling, and his heart couldn't help but wave: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager is going to send me to the princess's side?" Wow, the Queen Mother is really shining with a candle! It's better if you want me to be a colt! ”
