Huayang Palace.

Landscapes, flowers and birds, contrast with each other.

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat beside the small lake, in the scorching summer, in the pavilion of the water pavilion, but there was a breeze to cool off.

There were two bowls of lotus seed soup on the table to quench the heat and quench thirst, and the Empress Dowager Huayang looked at the person in front of her with a smile on her face.

"It's just chilled, so it's the right time to drink it. What's the matter, bad appetite? ”

Changpingjun does have a bad appetite, but it is because of his mood.

Cheng Cheng kept Fan Yu outside, but he led his troops into Tunliu and attacked Zhao, taking his advice as a deaf ear.

"The situation is so erosive that many courtiers have been sparse, saying that Chang'an Jun is not a minister. But the king laughed it off, and did not deal with it. Lü Buwei's side is sharpening knives. The minister doesn't understand, why does Chang'anjun insist on going his own way? ”

The small silver spoon swung gently in the jade bowl, and the Empress Dowager Huayang smiled lightly.

"You're three questions, not one."

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"The king didn't deal with it because he couldn't deal with it, and Chang'an Jun should act as a place where he didn't violate the law. Whether it is the dispatch of troops or the raising of troops to attack Zhao, it is a matter that has been approved by the imperial court. Just based on rumors, how can he convince his younger brother? ”

"Lu Buwei sharpens his knife Huo Huo, that is the posture it should be, the important thing is where he killed, do you know it?"

Changping Jun was stunned, and his originally depressed mood cleared up in an instant, and suspicious worries came back to his heart.

Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Changpingjun's appearance and shook her head.

"As for Cheng Chan, he is young after all. You asked him to find a reason to withdraw his troops, follow lightly, and return to Xianyang, which is certainly a good suggestion. But how could he be willing? ”

"What should the minister do?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang sighed slightly, and seemed to be a little helpless.

"It is not only his enemies who want to rebel, but also those under him. Lü Buwei's place is here, he has set up a situation, but his enemies are also pushing the situation according to his ideas. ”

"What should the minister do?"

Changping Jun looked at the Empress Dowager Huayang, the other party's calm and relaxed spirit, not at all swayed by the situation.

"Hasn't Fan Yuqi been driven out by Cheng Chan? This is a great blessing for you. Otherwise, if he really gets involved, you won't be able to tell even if your mouth is all over your body. ”

Changping Jun was taken aback, looking at the Empress Dowager Huayang, with an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.

"What does the Queen Mother mean, do we want to abandon ......?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang glared at Changpingjun, and the other party closed her mouth sneeringly.

"There are some things you shouldn't say, and it's not your turn to say."

Changping Jun lowered his head, a little frightened, and confessed.

"Got it!"

"You'd better not wade into the muddy waters, if you insist on getting into it, the mourning family can show you a clear way."

"Please show the Queen Mother."

"Jiazi Lane, Weishui don't live."

"Zhao Shuang?"

Changping Jun's face was full of surprise, and he didn't understand where the road of the Empress Dowager Huayang was pointing?

"If you want to stay out of the matter, then order Fan Yu to restrain his subordinates and not act rashly. Cheng Chan wants to attack Zhao, and he can fully cooperate. But if Cheng Chan wants to transfer the troops, then he must not obey, and even refuse with soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Fan Yuzhi, and the look on her face was a little unfathomable.

"If you want to get involved and make a profit for yourself, then you have to figure out a few questions."

"First, what is Lü Buwei's killing move? Second, Cheng Chan is not an unscrupulous person, and he will not see the situation clearly at this time. He insisted on leading his troops into the cantonment, where is his confidence? Third, what is Zhao Shuang's strategy to get out? ”

After speaking, the Empress Dowager Huayang put the empty jade bowl aside and wiped her mouth with a silk cloth.

"You can't get into it until you've figured out these three issues."

"A way to get out?"

As the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang fell, the doubts in Changpingjun's heart did not decrease, but became more and more.

"This clear evidence of guilt is clear, can Zhao Shuang still reverse black and white?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled slightly, but was silent.

When Changping Jun left Huayang Palace and went to take care of Zhao Shuang's residence, he walked to the door, but saw that the armor was a little confused, and there were blood stains at the door.

"What happened?"

Changping-kun's attendant went to inquire and came back shortly afterwards to make a report.

"Back to the king, last night there were three assassins assassinating Han Yangjun, two of them were killed, and there was one alive, and the people of the court lieutenant were interrogating."

"Let's go!"

Changping Jun led people into the interrogation room, but unexpectedly, this scene was a little bizarre. said it was bizarre, Tingwei's people were reviewing the case, why did they want to do it in front of Zhao Shuang?

Zhao Shuang sat alone on the side, and Tingwei's man locked up an assassin who was beaten and wounded.

The room was clean, and there was no such atmosphere as during an interrogation.

Zhao Shuang took the teacup and asked softly.

"Who asked you to assassinate Benjun?"

It was this soft word, and the assassin roared.

"I am really an assassin in the net, and I have come to take the life of the king on the orders of Lord Chang Yu."

Changpingjun approached and took a closer look, and the assassin had a tattoo mark on his body. Although he didn't know how to torture, he could also see that this assassin had obviously been served by the old men of the Tingwei Mansion, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't look like he was lying.

"Impossible!"

Zhao Shuang's categorical words, not only Changping Jun, but also the assassin, were also stunned.

"Lord Chang Yu is able to do things effectively, and he has won the trust of Empress Dowager Zhao and Lu Xiangbang. When you say this, are you saying that they don't know people and misuse traitors? ”

"What's more, the net is a sharp weapon of the Great Qin, why did their people come to assassinate Benjun? After the defeat, he confided the truth so easily, don't you understand the method of dealing with traitors? ”

Changping Jun saw that the assassin suddenly realized something, and his numb face showed a look of extreme horror.

"Although this gentleman is a guilty body, there will be a day when he will be wronged. You'll have to think about it. ”

Changpingjun suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked at Hanyangjun, and asked.

"Zhao Shuang, are you trying to induce a confession!"

"It's a toad! It was instructed by Chang'an Jun Chengcheng! ”

The assassin seemed to finally realize something, and let out a loud shout, the hoarse voice, as if it had a heart-rending magic, stirred Changping Jun's restlessness.

He wanted to stop all this, but he didn't know where to start, but he heard Zhao Shuang smile.

"Impossible! Why did Chang'anjun assassinate Benjun? ”

The words that were no longer firm seemed to be exculpation, but they could be heard in Changpingjun's ears, but they made him feel that the world was sliding into the abyss, and the reality of the stripping away was so absurd.

Changpingjun looked at the young man in front of him, and for the first time, he felt a little frightened.
