However, what Lin Shu, who was thousands of miles away, could not have imagined was that almost at the same time as their pass, the news that King Mu was forcibly detained in Jiangling City by his uncle, Li Shu, the former King of Ying and now the King of Jiangling, was sent back to the Chang'an Dynasty. It was only because of the fierce dispute in the court after receiving the news that the news was delayed to convey the news to the West Road mission headed by Lin Shu, so that they are still sitting on pins and needles and restless.

Similar to the forest trees thousands of miles away, the emperor in the Daming Palace has also been in a dilemma in recent days.

After most of the courtiers led by Zhongshuling and Li Jinzhong, the Duke of Jin, heard that King Mu was detained in Jiangling City for unknown reasons, they all advocated immediately sending troops to encircle and suppress Jiangling City, forcing Li Shu to return King Mu, and at the same time, taking Li Shu's mother Concubine Li and sister Princess Changning into prison and taking them hostage, and stopping the peace and affinity discussions with Tubo.

The few ministers led by Liu Yi insisted that the king of Jiangling left King Mu in Jiangling City, but out of consideration of brother and sister affection, and wanted to persuade the emperor to withdraw the edict of marrying Princess Changning. Therefore, they advocated making full use of the favorable conditions that King Jiangling's biological mother and sister were under the control of the imperial court, and sent important ministers to Jiangling to lobby and induce King Jiangling to take the initiative to let the king go south, so as to complete the repair of Tibet. The mission of stabilizing the South. This enabled the imperial court to free up more troops to put down the rebellion with all its might.

Speaking from the heart. The emperor thought that the analysis of Liu Yi and others was closer to reality. There is no doubt that King Gangneung was quite capable of military affairs. Since two years ago, the first emperor appointed him as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and led the army to successfully recover the eastern capital, under his auspices, the rebels in the north and the Tubo in the south, although they did not achieve a great victory, but also made the imperial court suffer from the unfavorable situation of the enemy. On the two battlefields of the north and the south, they were in a see-saw with their opponents, and they were able to fight to a draw.

However, it is precisely because Li Shu has been in charge of the army and fought in battles that he should be soberly aware that with his current strength, trying to pull the flag and rebel is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg: it is said that he only has 200 households of food and towns, and there are less than 2,000 soldiers under his command who are willing to be driven by it, that is, in terms of the geographical location of Jiangling, there are heavy troops guarded by envoys from various provinces in the southeast, northwest, and north. The officers and troops could take Gangneung City without a single match. With Li Shu's mind analysis, in such a situation. He would never do such a stupid thing as openly opposing the court.

Then there is only one possibility left: he wants to use house arrest to persuade himself, stop the peace negotiations with Tubo, or at least delay the time when Princess Changning marries a foreign vassal? No, given the current situation of King Gangneung, it seems that he should be more in peace and be his vassal king, and he can't recklessly threaten the imperial court by placing the emperor's eldest son under house arrest and the imperial court's pro-ambassador, which will only attract the court's suspicion of him, which will do all kinds of harm but not benefit.

If even this possibility can be ruled out, what is Li Shu doing this for?

The emperor withdrew from everyone, locked himself in the Yeonying Palace, and spent a whole afternoon, thinking about the various possibilities of King Gangneung staying in King Mu, until the sun set, and he didn't figure out a clue.

Wu Xiaozhong and Wang Bao'er walked in one after the other. Today, Xie Liangchen was called by Li Jinzhong to discuss the aftermath of cleaning up the palace affairs, so Wu Xiaozhong had to wait with the emperor on a temporary basis. He had only just entered the palace on an errand, and he was not very familiar with the rules in the Daming Palace, so he walked in front of the emperor, bowed down and replied: "Long live Qiyu, the concubine Niangniang in the south sent someone to ask for a meeting, and now she is waiting outside the palace." ”

The emperor shrugged his eyebrows, ignored it, and asked Wang Bao'er behind him, "What is the matter with you?" "Wang Bao'er is a personal eunuch personally selected by him, who is responsible for the emperor's daily daily chores.

Wang Bao'er has been happy recently, first his godfather Shang Jing was pardoned, and he entered the Daming Palace as a permanent attendant, and within a few days, he was hand-picked by the emperor and transferred from the harem to the emperor on an errand. These days, he is happy to quietly burn incense and worship the Buddha every morning and evening, and secretly pray, pointing to the hope that he can soar from now on and have good luck.

"Now that the sun has set, I don't know where to put the master's dinner, so the slave should go and explain to the Shang Shan room." Wang Bao'er's eyebrows were full of smiles, and she replied cautiously.

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll talk about you later." The emperor shifted his gaze back to Wu Xiaozhong, and reproached in an accentuated tone, "The concubine has something to do without going through the Nannei supervisor, why did she send someone to find this place directly?" Don't you know the rules you have set for yourself? ”

Wu Xiaozhong panicked, his face turned red, and he stood still not knowing how to reply.

"Who is the concubine sent?" The emperor knew that Wu Xiaozhong did not practice the palace rules and did not take deep responsibility, so he asked.

Wu Xiaozhong replied with a snort: "Yes...... It's a toffee...... Empress...... With the grandchildren of the children...... Momma. ”

The emperor was amused by Wu Xiaozhong's embarrassment, pointed to the outside of the hall and commanded him: "Whether it is my mother or my grandson, I will not see it." Tell her to go back and report to the concubine, I will have a will to the concubine in a few days, so that the concubine can be born in the south and wait. ”

Wu Xiaozhong was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses, knowing that the emperor was making fun of himself, he smiled and agreed, and turned around.

The emperor stared at Wang Bao'er and asked, "Ying'er is still guarding the courtyard gate?" ”

Wang Bao'er couldn't tell whether the emperor was happy or angry, nodded with a smile, and replied: "Niangniang hasn't seen the emperor for several days, ......what do you think?" ”

"It's not easy to have you by my side all the time, are you worried that those newly elected palace concubines are charming and bowing? Full of vinegar, but it violates women's morals! ”

Wang Bao'er heard that the emperor's tone was not good, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the little one will go and ask Ying'er to go back, and never come again in the future." ”

"Wait," the emperor said, stopping Wang Bao'er and striding out, "I'd better go and tell her myself." ”

Wang Bao'er followed the emperor out of the Yanying Hall at a trot, and came to the gate of the courtyard leading to the inner garden of the harem. When Ying'er saw the emperor, she noticed his expression, and saluted the emperor and said, "The maid has seen the emperor." ”

The emperor walked out of the courtyard gate without stopping, and walked towards the harem by the Taiye Pond, leaving only one sentence to Ying'er: "I have something to discuss with Concubine Hui tonight, and ask Concubine Li to wait for me in the palace tomorrow night." ”
