"This official has the emperor's secret edict in his hand, who dares to do it?" The voice was full of undoubted solemnity, and the secret edict in his hand was very conspicuous.

It's Lin Lian, it's the former virtuous Lin Lian.

I have to say that his presence here at this moment is intriguing and panicking.

"What kind of secret decree, that's fake, don't you take down this chaotic minister and thief soon?!" Lin Lian has been away from the political core for a short time, but his influence is still very great, after all, he is the one who has been sitting in that position for the longest time, and everyone present is stunned.

Those guards were hesitating whether to make a move, and Tang Mi's voice came: "Since it's just a fake secret decree, why is the Prime Minister so nervous?"

Tang Mi was in control of the security of the entire palace, Yang Ming had always thought that they had reached a consensus a long time ago, and he did not expect to sing against him at this critical juncture.

Tang Mi stepped forward and waved at Lin Lian, and then took the secret decree over, and he read the secret decree aloud.

The gist of it is very simple, after Zhao Yu passed away, if Yang Ming dared to be unfavorable to the Empress Dowager Zhou, he would be immediately removed from the position of prime minister and replaced by Lin Lian.

The beneficiaries of this secret decree are Zhou Jinhuan and Lin Lian, for Yang Ming, Zhou Jinhuan is easy to deal with, but this former prime minister is very difficult.

Just like the current situation, it is clear that he, Lin Lian, has been away from Jingshi for more than a year, but when this secret decree is taken out, someone still buys his account.

"This is simply nonsense, the first emperor belittled you because he saw your wolf ambitions, and now that the new monarch is young, you think there is an opportunity to come and do this kind of thing, it is really shameless!" Yang Ming snatched the secret decree, he didn't believe that there would be any secret decree at all, and after reading it carefully, he laughed even more: "You dare to fake the holy decree without even a seal, who gave you Lin Lian such a big courage?"

Speaking of the secret decree without a seal, the ministers who were still swaying began to criticize Lin Lian, but Tang Mi stood aside and didn't say anything, waiting for Lin Lian's explanation.

Lin Lian is a person who has seen the world, and he only said one sentence to everyone's suspicions: "Have you seen the emperor's secret decree, who said that the emperor's secret decree must be sealed?"

Lin Lian's words didn't make sense, but Zhou Jinhuan was very surprised: she took the edict with her own hands, although she didn't look at it a few times, she also remembered that the edict had no seal, only the seal script of the inscription.

"The Prime Minister's secret decree has a seal, do you mean that the Prime Minister is forging it?" It was Tao Ran who spoke, and he helped Yang Ming with confidence in this way, he thought of a person, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The secret decree passed through the hands of the people of the Imperial Study, where is Gonggong Meng now, let him explain?"

Xiao Mengzi was also taken to Dali Temple, and after Zhou Jinhuan was rescued, he was afraid that all the firepower was aimed at him, right?

Zhou Jinhuan's mind was full of Xiao Chuxia at that time, and she couldn't think of anyone else at all, and now when they mentioned Xiao Mengzi, she thought of his existence, and felt a little guilty in her heart, you must know that Xiao Mengzi treated her very well, whether he was looking at Zhao Yu's face or Su Wan's face.

"That Gonggong Meng and the concubine have been imprisoned for writing the secret edict without authorization, if you want to ask, Chang Xi's father-in-law is on duty in the imperial study all the year round, and he also understands the secret edict, right, Chang Xi's father-in-law?" Tao Ran suddenly kicked the ball to Chang Xi, Zhou Jinhuan and Chang Xi had some contact and felt that although that person was sometimes a little pedantic, he was Xiao Mencius's apprentice and was an upright person.

But the reality played a joke on her, Chang Xicheng took the secret decree with trepidation, and read it carefully several times: "This secret decree is indeed fake." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present were different, and the smile on Yang Ming's face became very confident, but Lin Lian was not in a hurry at all, and asked rhetorically: "Father-in-law Chang Xi can see clearly, don't look at your eyes, right?"

"The slave has been on duty in the palace for many years, and he still has this eyesight. Chang Xi's answer was still very decent, Lin Lian just smiled, and didn't explain much, Tang Mi wrapped his arms, and was about to open his mouth to let the guards pull Lin Lian down, when a deep voice sounded: "What if I said that it was the secret edict I personally gave him?"

Everyone present, including Zhou Jinhuan, was so frightened that she was nailed to the spot, she hid in the crowd, only to see the person walk in from the door of the main hall.

He was wearing a beige gown, very ordinary but with an unstoppable domineering, it was difficult to find anyone in the whole Dayan.

Zhao Yu, he didn't even die?!

"Who are you, you dare to pretend to be the emperor, are you impatient?" Yang Ming took the lead, pointed at the guard and reprimanded loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, this person pretending to be the emperor is a capital crime, why don't you take it quickly?"

"Weichen knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor!" Tang Mi looked at Zhao Yu's eyes and did not leave, smiled at Zhao Yu, and knelt down.

How close the relationship between Zhao Yu and Tang Mi is, everyone in Yecheng knows that if Tang Mi can be sure that person is the first emperor, if anyone is suspicious, it must be looking for death.

The ministers who can get into the main hall are not stupid, they immediately knelt down with Tang Mi, and shouted long live, even Xiao Zhao Suo, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair, was pulled down by his father Zhao Jia and knelt down obediently.

The situation was already obvious, Zhao Yu glanced at Yang Ming, Yang Ming's lips were trembling, and he said a few words intermittently: "Emperor...... Above...... Emperor...... Ask the emperor to spare his life......"

"The Prime Minister is so ambitious, ah?" Zhao Yu walked to the dragon chair, squatted down, glanced at Zhao Suo's child, and stared at Zhao Jia for a long time, Zhao Jia was so nervous that his teeth were chattering: "Please...... Ask the emperor to ...... Let's bypass Xiaguan, it's all Yang Ming, it's all Yang Ming who forced us, we originally lived well in Mingzhou, then Yang Ming had to let Suo'er come over, and we didn't have anything to do......"

Zhao Jia threw the pot to Yang Ming, kept kowtowing, looking like a bad seed, Zhao Yu frowned in disgust, turned his head to look at Yang Ming, Yang Ming understood at this time, he was betrayed by everyone, and he didn't say anything anymore: "Just think that I forced their father and son to come over, I will take all the faults with all my might, will you believe it, emperor?"

Those words were provocative, Zhao Yu sat on the dragon chair, and said leisurely: "I naturally don't believe it, at least this Tao Ran and Chang Xi are your prime minister's people, aren't they?"

Zhao Yu rarely speaks so gently, and whenever he speaks like this, it means that someone is going to be unlucky.

Although Yang Ming knew that death was inevitable, he was still so frightened that his body trembled, and the other two people mentioned were also very scared, but Tao Ran was more realistic, while Chang Xi was less natural.

"Conspiracy against the big crime, Yang Ming punished the nine clans, light the sky lantern, and Tao Ran will give him a good time, as for Chang Xi's ......" Speaking of Chang Xi Zhao Yu's words, he paused, and looked around, Zhou Jinhuan was staring at Chang Xi, his face was full of doubts, and he felt that his eyes fell on the top of his head, looking back, just opposite Zhao Yu's eyes, she avoided his eyes with a little weakness, and this action was quite a feeling of three hundred taels of silver here, Zhao Yu unconsciously hung a smile on the corner of his mouth, cleared his throat and continued: " As for Chang Xi, I saw that he had served for many years and was decent, so he was locked up in Dali Temple first, and I thought it clearly before I left. ”

Zhao Jia and his son were driven out of Dayan, and since then they have not been allowed to enter the territory of Dayan again, and the remaining ministers, Zhao Yu did not pursue it.

It seems that all of a sudden, the sky has changed again, Zhou Jinhuan took advantage of Zhao Yu's edict to escape, Zhao Yu found out and pretended not to see it.

It can be said that Zhao Yu's appearance made Zhou Jinhuan mess up all of a sudden, she didn't have time to think about Zhao Yu's purpose for doing this, and she also pushed aside the matter of finding Su Wan, and her main thing now was to escape from the palace.

She had only met Zhao Yu's eyes once, but she felt that he seemed to have recognized her, and he couldn't change his eyes, not to mention that they were so familiar, how could he not recognize her?

Walking towards the palace gate with a worried heart, she never thought that leaving the palace would be much easier than she imagined, the guards just made a routine check, asked a few words and let them go.

Maybe it's an extraordinary time, right?

Zhou Jinhuan did not doubt that he had him, and after leaving the palace, he found an inn, restored his original appearance, and returned to Zhang Zilang's mansion.

Zhang Zilang was still in the palace and did not come back, and the guards knelt down excitedly when they saw her: "My aunt, you are finally back, where have you been?"

"Where can I go, I was kidnapped, if I wasn't smart, you would all be able to see me?" Zhou Jinhuan said nonsense, and was quite dissatisfied with the sentence: "Zhang Zilang raises you every day, it's really useless, if I wait for you to save me, then I will have to pay for my life." ”

She returned to the backyard as usual, locked the door and began to think about what happened today, but she couldn't figure it out: forget it, she won't think about anything, anyway, she can't enter the palace anymore, and the most important thing now is to wait for Zhang Zilang to come back and ask him to help find Su Wan.

"Something doesn't seem right. Zhou Jinhuan recalled what happened in the imperial study today, and always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't figure it out.

She is not a person who likes to embarrass herself, so she put it aside if she didn't understand, and waited for Zhang Zilang with peace of mind, and Zhang Zilang didn't come back until dinner time, so she was a little angry: "Why hasn't this Zhang Zilang come back, isn't it that Yang Ming also confessed him, and he was also arrested in prison?"

Mention this, she finally knew where that kind of wrongness came from, Zhao Yu has always valued Xiao Mengzi, even Lin Lian has been reinstated, how can he not remember Xiao Mengzi?

Or did he not know that Xiao Mencius was still locked up in Dali Temple?

"My lord, Miss Zhou is back. At this time, Zhang Zilang came back, and Zhou Jinhuan heard his voice, got up and opened the door.
