Thousands of miles away in Yanbei, heavy snow is flying, and the rolling mountains are covered in silver makeup, like a silver snake.

The wind and snow blocked the confrontation between the two armies, and the Yanbei army and the Antar army had been truces for half a month.

However, the snow did not stop the secret letter from the capital, and the secret letter of Li Guanying, the current commander of An Changhou and Feiyuwei, had been quietly sent to Yanbei.

The king of Yanbei County closed the letter, he raised his head and saw that Li Yongji, the old Marquis of Anchang, was looking at him with blazing eyes.

Although some things are secret, they can't be hidden from Flying Fish Guard.

Flying Fish Guard is the Empress Dowager's sword, and it is the Empress Dowager's eyes.

The letter said that the whereabouts of the little emperor were unknown, and then the body of Mao Yuanmei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was found in a house, Mao Yuanmei was the chief examiner appointed by the emperor, and he had disliked the empress dowager because of his lectures to the emperor, and then found out that the famous red sleeves in the capital were related to this matter, and the red sleeves had been sealed, and the proprietress of the red sleeves was killed by his subordinates, and the body sank under the dry well and stones.

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to chop down Mao Yuanmei's liferoot, roast it and grind it into powder, so that her people could share it; Peel off the human skin, make a double-sided drum, place it in front of the government gate, and beat it every day; His body was dismantled into eight pieces for wild dogs to eat.

The king of Yanbei frowned slightly, and asked: "This trick red sleeve is a scapegoat, how can he show such a big flaw when he acts so carefully?" And Mao Yuanmei, he ...... with the emperor"

Well, although the little county king is a small ghost, there are some things he still doesn't understand.

Old An Changhou coughed dryly, the relationship between Mao Yuanmei and the little emperor could only be understood, but in the face of the black and white eyes of the little county king, he felt that he didn't even need to understand.

"As long as the prince of the county knows that Mao Yuanmei has done something to deceive the monarch and cause trouble to the palace."

The king of Yanbei County silently decided in his heart that he wanted people to find a few books to read, what the old An Changhou refused to say, there must be something in the book, and this matter should be handed over to Ke Yi'er to do, and my sister said that Ke Yi'er could do things that others couldn't.

"Other than that, what does the county prince think?" Old An Changhou asked again.

The king of Yanbei threw the letter into the brazier, and the letter paper was immediately swallowed by tongues of fire.

"It's not my turn." The king of Yanbei said lightly.

......

The outer layer of Xi'an City is dyed, and the red leaves on the mountains are full of color.

King Qin rode his horse and walked slowly in the forest, followed by Zhou Zheng and Xiao Ren.

An attendant urged him to step forward and present a secret letter with a special mark to the King of Qin.

Both Zhou Zheng and Xiao Ren knew this mark, which was only used in the Western Qin army and represented the highest rank of the secret letter.

King Qin still had a happy smile on his face, and when he saw the letter in his eyes, he tore off the fire paint on the letter and unfolded the letter paper.

King Qin quickly finished reading the letter, handed it to Zhou Zheng casually, and said, "You and Xiao Qi should also take a look." ”

Although the two had heard of the imaginary relationship between the little emperor and Mao Yuanmei before, they looked at each other and sighed when they learned that the little emperor had disappeared because of this incident.

"This is done by a woman, but it will definitely not be the one with red sleeves, a woman in the dust, at most she will give people a bag." Zhou Zheng said.

King Qin became interested and asked, "Why do you think this is a woman's handiwork?" ”

Zhou Zheng said: "What woman in the world can bear her husband to ignore his young and beautiful wife and concubine, but instead fall in love with an old and obscene man?" ”

Really, that Mao Yuanmei, just thinking about it makes me feel disgusting, how did he catch the little emperor?

King Qin looked at Xiao Ren again: "Xiao Qi, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Ren looked at Zhou Zheng with a hint of naughtiness in his eyes: "My subordinates think it...... I think the third son should marry a wife and have children. ”

A smile appeared on King Qin's face again, and Xiao Qi actually joked too.

He asked Xiang Zhou Zheng: "What do you think?" ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head: "It's too late, the marriage on my side has not been handled yet, and the queen concubine over there will spread the good news that she is pregnant with the dragon seed, alas, there is finally a good opportunity for a father to be expensive with a son, so I missed it in vain." ”

Looking at Zhou Zheng's distressed look, King Qin laughed.

Although they seemed to be joking, King Qin was very satisfied with Zhou Zheng and Xiao Ren's answers, these two children were calm and clear-headed, and their vision was more far-reaching than before.

He did covet that position, but that position was not so easy to get, born in the royal family, they knew from a young age what it was to be a camp step by step, even the disappearance of the emperor was by no means accidental, and even the reason why Mao Yuanmei was able to walk in front of the emperor was by no means simple.

......

Beijing, Chaoyang Palace.

The Empress Dowager sat at the top, the old protector Yang Feng, the protector Yang Min, and even Mao Yuanjiu, who vomited wildly because of taking Mao Yuanmei's life root powder.

It's just that Mao Yuanjiu's face is very bad, his eye sockets are deep, his gaze is dispelled, and he no longer has the blazing spirit of the past.

The Empress Dowager glanced at him, and she longed to eat the father and daughter's flesh.

At this moment, if the Empress Dowager hadn't understood what was going on, she wouldn't be worthy of sitting here.

All of this was done by the adulterous concubine, the adulterous concubine wants to be the queen mother and wants to go crazy, the mourning family will not let you get your wish, and the queen mother can be posthumously sealed.

The Empress Dowager said: "This is already the case, and the top priority is to let the emperor return to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Yang Min, the protector of the country, was slightly stunned and returned to the palace? If the emperor could be found, the matter would have been settled long ago, and now that there is no one even to see, how can he talk about returning to the palace?

Yang Feng, the old protector of the country, stroked his beard and nodded: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, only when the Son of Heaven returns to the palace, the next thing can go on step by step." ”

Yang Min's heart moved, he looked at his father and asked, "Father, don't you want to make people ......?"

He didn't dare to say the latter words, after all, this is in the palace, although the two women with the highest positions in the palace are from the Yang family, but Yang Min still doesn't dare to be careless.

"Well, that's it." Yang Feng said.

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Come and see the mourning family, let Cheng Er handle this matter, he is the same age as the emperor, and he has grown up together since childhood, he is the most suitable." ”

No one is more reliable than Yang Jincheng, so this matter will never go wrong when it is handed over to him.

Mao Yuanjiu didn't speak, he sat there dumbfounded, lost his soul.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have forgiven him, and asked kindly: "Mao Shangshu, what do you say?" ”

Mao Yuanjiu seemed to wake up in a dream, he said yes again and again, and said, "Just do what the Empress Dowager wants." ”

"Alas, there is going to be a funeral in this palace again, the white-haired people of the mourning family send the black-haired people, and they are sent again and again, and the mourning family ......" The Empress Dowager sighed.
