At the same time, Yang Xiaoyu was ordered by the emperor to strictly investigate the traitors in the palace, and he sent Cao Tai to lead the guards to search the palaces, nominally to protect the palace concubines, but in fact, the palace people were panicked, and many concubines were afraid to go out.

When the news of the assassination of the saint came out, more than 30 ministers including Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe came to visit the emperor in the palace.

Yang Xiaoyu arranged for the fake emperor to come out and show his face, and after settling the ministers, the fake emperor didn't say anything, so he let the ministers go back.

Here, he just sent off the ministers, and there was news from the palace that the queen mother was worried about the emperor's dragon body, and had come out of Cining Palace and was coming to the palace.

Yang Xiaoyu doesn't know much about this queen mother, she only knows that she is the concubine of Emperor Wanli, she is light, she almost doesn't care about things in the palace, she never punishes the palace maids and eunuchs easily, and she no longer walks in the palace, and stays in Cining Palace to recuperate.

The assassination of the emperor this time was directed by him, and now that the drama has come true, even the queen mother has been tricked out of the palace, how can this be good?

Yang Xiaoyu didn't dare to let the queen mother see the emperor, otherwise, she would definitely be able to see that the emperor was an impostor.

Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, passed the order, ordered Cheng Wenfu and Bai Chengwang to guard the intersections leading to the palace, and not let anyone pass, and then ordered Xu Xianchun to send people to guard the periphery of the palace, and set up a strict and vigilant posture.

Although he ordered that no one should come to the palace, he hardly had to think about it, and he could know that Cheng Wenfu and Bai Chengwang would not dare to stop the Queen Mother's car at all.

Yang Xiaoyu took advantage of this time period to arrange for Li Wenshan to lead more than 20 guards to pretend to assassinate the Empress Dowager.

According to the news from the palace guards, the queen mother was escorted by Cheng Yun with 500 horsemen when she left the palace this time.

Cheng Yun was cautious, and Yang Xiaoyu was worried that he would see the clue, so Li Wenshan immediately retreated to the private house after failing to assassinate the Empress Dowager and changed into the clothes of Jinyiwei. Burn all the evidence of the crime, and then return to the palace.

After Li Wenshan received the order, he immediately went to handle the matter.

Yang Xiaoyu stayed quietly in the palace and waited for news.

He believed that Li Wenshan would not let him down.

Sure enough, a few hours later, Cheng Yun sent someone to report that the Queen Mother's car drove out of the palace on the way to the palace. Suddenly encountered many black-clothed people stabbing the line, a sharp arrow shot into the queen mother's car, the queen mother herself was fine, but was too frightened by the arrow, fainted on the spot, he took the initiative and escorted the queen mother's car back to the palace.

After Yang Xiaoyu received the news, he laughed secretly, although he did not scare the old queen mother to death. can also be scared half to death, I believe that after the old queen mother has experienced this, she will never leave the palace easily.

In order to demonstrate that he was a loyal minister, Yang Xiaoyu took more than 100 Ti cavalry into the palace and went to Cining Palace to greet the old queen mother.

The Queen Mother was too frightened and didn't see anyone, Yang Xiaoyu glanced a few times outside Cining Palace, looking loyal. Begin to spy on the Assassins in the palace.

There were nearly 8,000 people in the guard department and the Han general's camp, all of whom were mobilized. Investigate the traces of the assassins in various palaces, the queen's Kunning Palace, Concubine Rong's Changning Palace, and some other palaces have sent people to investigate.

Yang Xiaoyu's reason is very simple, the Queen Mother is out of the palace for such a secret matter, as long as the people in the palace know. Therefore, he deduced that someone in the palace and the assassins outside were colluding with each other to murder the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

In order to attach importance to the safety of the Queen Mother, Yang Xiaoyu sent Cheng Yun to lead a thousand guards to guard around Cining Palace, and there was no summons from the Queen Mother. No concubine or princess can approach Cining Palace.

On the surface, it seems that Yang Xiaoyu is protecting the safety of the Queen Mother, but further, it is Yang Xiaoyu's house arrest in disguise.

But no one dared to say that Yang Xiaoyu was plotting against him, because the assassination of the Queen Mother was too strange, and Yang Xiaoyu was protecting the Queen Mother.

Therefore, from the concubines and princesses in the palace to the palace maids, no one dared to talk about this matter, and they all kept their mouths shut, for fear of causing trouble.

Yang Xiaoyu investigated the assassins in the palace with great fanfare, and made the palace chickens fly and dogs jump, and many of the servants who did some stealing chickens and dogs were found out, and all of them were sent to Zhang Yan's Kunning Palace.

The day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the lunar month, and the palace has been eating food in Laba half a month ago.

Now the emperor and the queen mother were frightened by the assassins, and it was difficult for the emperor to pay homage.

After Yang Xiaoyu inspected the palace, he returned to the palace and falsely preached the holy decree, ordering the king Zhu Youjian to preside over the royal court meeting of Laba, and the wives were rewarded by the queen according to the usual practice.

After the holy decree was passed on, Yang Xiaoyu once again pretended to pass on the holy decree, promoted Xu Xianchun to the commander of Yulinwei, and Keri took office. Cao Tai was promoted to the commander of the Shenji Battalion, in charge of 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion, stationed in the imperial city, and at the same time, Yang Xiaoyu also promoted himself to the rank of governor, from the title of governor of the left army to the governor of the Chinese army.

The governor of the left army and the governor of the Chinese army are two different things, and the governor of the left army is an empty title and has no real power. The Chinese military governor is different, the capital is stationed in the Shangzhi 26 guards, and every year there are more soldiers and horses transferred in the same way to receive training, and these guards are under the jurisdiction of the Chinese military governor's office.

Although Yang Xiaoyu was promoted to the governor of the Chinese army, he could not control the Chinese army, because the military power of the Chinese military governor's office was in the hands of the military department, and the Chinese military governor's office was only responsible for training soldiers, and the rest had nothing to do with the Chinese military governor's office.

In other words, Yang Xiaoyu has the right to train the 160,000 guards in the capital, but he has no right to mobilize the 160,000 guards to fight.

When the holy decree came out, Yang Xiaoyu immediately sent someone to inform Wang Tiqian, asking him to immediately send the little eunuch to prepare the holy decree and send it to the palace for the emperor to personally see.

Wang Tiqian is not stupid, Yang Xiaoyu has become the emperor's favorite minister these days, his power is getting heavier and heavier day by day, his cronies guard all over the palace gate, and the hundreds of guards outside the ceremonial supervisor are the best proof.

Wang Tiqian's vision is very accurate, he analyzed from Yang Xiaoyu's series of actions, Yang Xiaoyu may be a generation of powerful ministers, therefore, he hurriedly ordered the celebrant to send the holy decree down, and sent someone to Yang Xiaoyu's mansion to send 50,000 taels of silver.

These silvers were given to him by Yang Xiaoyu one after another, and now he also gave them to Yang Xiaoyu with many precious gadgets, he believed that Yang Xiaoyu would understand the meaning.

After Yang Xiaoyu received the holy decree, he immediately issued it to Xu Xianchun and Cao Tai, ordering them to immediately take over Yu Linwei and the Shenji Battalion.

When he knew that Wang Tiqian sent someone to send the silver two and the treasure to the mansion, he immediately understood what Wang Tiqian meant, these days, what he wanted to do can be said to be slowly realized, but Wang Tiqian was in charge of the master of ceremonies and the East Factory, which made him feel a little difficult to start.

Now that Wang Tiqian has taken refuge in him, he is disrespectful to him.

Yang Xiaoyu accepted Wang Tiqian's gift and sent someone to lead Wang Tiqian, saying that his gift was very good and he was very satisfied. (To be continued......)
