Teng Xiu carried a lantern to illuminate the way, and Ji Yu pulled Dabao to follow.

There were four or five rooms in the courtyard, and the group entered the most dilapidated one.

The room was dusty, cobwebbed, and only a few pieces of furniture.

Teng Xiu walked to a four-door wooden cabinet against the north wall and motioned for the guards to move the wooden cabinet away.

After the wooden cabinet was removed, he fumbled against the wall for a long time.

With a sound of shaking, a gap was made in the adjacent east wall.

"This"

Ji Yu always thought that even if there was an escape passage in the palace, the entrance should be in Dabao's bedroom.

I never thought I'd be here.

"There is indeed a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in the master's dormitory, but the slave is worried"

Last year, Emperor Wande transferred so many people from the palace, maybe the secret entered someone's eyes. In other words, the secret passage is already uneasy.

Ordinary people can think that the secret passage will be built in the dormitory of the main courtyard, and Concubine Zheng will definitely be able to think of it.

"The slave has let people pretend to be the master and enter the dormitory"

Ji Yu interrupted him: "How do you know?"

King Min's Mansion has existed for a long time, but Teng Xiu was not transferred until the end of the year, he not only knows the secret passage in the dormitory, but also knows the secret passage as a follow-up move

Ji Yu knew that time was pressing, but if she didn't figure this out, she would plunge into it headlong, and there would be no turning back.

What if the end of the secret passage is a net that has already been opened

Teng Xiu knew that Ji Yu was afraid that Dabao would be in danger, so he simply spread the matter out and said. Anyway, it's this time, and there's no need to hide it.

"These are all things that King Lao An told his minions. After King Min reached the age of going out of the palace to build a mansion, the first emperor ordered King Lao An to supervise the construction of this Min Palace. The idea of the two secret passages was the instruction of the first emperor, and it was originally the heart of the beloved son, just in case, but I didn't expect it"

I didn't expect it to work.

After nearly a year of getting along, Ji Yu knew that Teng Xiu was not lying.

"Let's go."

The gap only allows the two of them to go side by side, Song Jing and Teng Xiu are in front, Ji Yu and Dabao are followed by Xiaoding, and then there are Basil Roland and others. The dozen or so guards were divided into two groups, one at the head and the other at the back.

The door of the secret passage slowly closed.

Holding her breath and walking forward for a while, Ji Yu remembered something, and asked Teng Xiu in a low voice: "Other people in the house"

Teng Xiu paused: "They have to stay and cooperate with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses."

It is said to be cooperative, and everyone understands the meaning of the connotation.

Like the Zheng family, Teng Xiu should have prepared for this day.

It is a good thing to be prepared, and those who take it away must be trustworthy, but what is left behind, in addition to the loyal palace guards and the dark lines in the palace, are the ignorant palace maids and eunuchs, most of whom may even be asleep.

If the soldiers and horses of the five cities insist on breaking into the palace, they will clash with the palace guards.

It's just that it's just a matter of arresting, and I'm most afraid that they will kill in the name of chaos

Song Jing saw her thoughts, was silent for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that conflicts are inevitable, but they don't dare to go too far."

Ji Yu also knows that it is useless to think about this now, her and Dabao's lives are still hanging on the tip of someone else's knife.

If you want Dabao to live, you must let him ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and the road of the Ninety-Five Supreme has always been paved with blood and bones.

The blood and the bones, both enemies and their own.

Ji Yu's heart was cold, and she didn't make a sound for the rest of the way, only clenched Dabao's hand.

The people in the capital are preparing to welcome the arrival of the ninth year of Wande, and no one expected that there would be a thunderbolt on a sunny day at this time, and the emperor died

The capital is completely chaotic.

First Emperor Wande died, and then King Min was robbed by the rebellious party, followed by Zheng Guifei took out the edict of succession, as expected, Emperor Wande really passed the throne to the little prince.

Zheng Guogong and his faction immediately wanted to help the little prince ascend the throne on the grounds that the country could not be without a king for a day.

King Lao An and several elders in the court strongly objected, and the reason given was that there were rumors inside and outside the palace now, the identity of the little prince was doubtful, the blood of the imperial heir could not be confused, and the discussion should be calmed down.

Those officials from poor families, led by Pan Jiadao and Song Jing, expressed their support for King Lao An, and at the same time asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue King Min as soon as possible.

Emperor Wande has been buried, according to the ancestral system, Zigong should be parked for a few days, and then the funeral and burial will be carried out after the auspicious day of the zodiac is selected.

But who else really cares

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Zheng Guifei angrily dropped a few cups in a row.

The personal palace maid stepped forward, held her hand in the palm of her hand, and rubbed it with moderate force.

"Why should the mother be angry, the big troubles have been removed, and I am worried that these small troubles will not be successful"

Zheng Guogong, who was sitting at the head of the place, couldn't help frowning when he saw the two of them behaving like this in broad daylight.

But in the end, he is at fault, and he can only suppress his unhappiness in the bottom of his heart.

"According to the old minister, just arrest those people, the emperor is dead, and we have an edict in our hands, what are we afraid of him."

"Catch"

Concubine Zheng Guifei had a terrible headache, and when she heard this, she was even more angry.

"If my father wants to arrest Lao Anwang, a few elders or the officials who account for most of the court, if you really want to arrest it, I am afraid that it will not be able to be closed in the prison, so it is better to directly push out the noon gate and behead it, what do you think?"

Don't say it, this is exactly what Zheng Guogong wants.

Zheng Guifei knew what he was thinking when she looked at him, and couldn't help sneering.

"Why don't you pick one of my brothers to inherit the throne and change the surname of the Ying family to Zheng, what does my father want?"

"Niangniang"

Zheng Guogong was so frightened that he suddenly changed color, and fell to his knees with a pop.

"Why did Niangniang say this, if the old minister has this intention, the sky will thunder, and it will not be good"

"Okay, okay"

Zheng Guifei supported her forehead with one hand and waved her hand to interrupt his words.

The personal palace maid walked to Zheng Guogong's side, handed out an arm, and motioned for Zheng Guogong to get up.

"Guogong has no such intention, and he still thinks twice about his words and deeds."

Zheng Guogong looked at the hand handed to him, the bone joints were thick, like a man snorting and turning his head.

The personal palace maid didn't care, withdrew her arm, returned to Concubine Zheng Guifei, and continued to pinch her shoulders.

After Zheng Guogong sat down, he was still indignant: "Those people insulted Niangniang and attacked my Zheng family all day long, so I don't believe that Niangniang doesn't want to shut their mouths." ”

"Their mouths are easy to seal, how should the world's mouths be sealed"

"When the little prince ascends the throne, those who criticize will naturally shut up"

In Zheng Guogong's view, all problems can be solved as long as the little prince ascends the throne. To put it bluntly, it is still the same sentence that those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die.

He was carried away by the victory in front of him and the joy that he was about to reach a higher level, but Zheng Guifei did not.

"If you can kill them, do you think that the palace doesn't want to kill them cleanly, but killing them is tantamount to telling the world that the identity of the little prince is greasy, and our Zheng family is a chaotic minister and thief who seeks to usurp the throne"

"Old minister, see who dares" Zheng Guogong slapped the table, "The entire capital is under our control"

"Could it be that in my father's eyes, the capital is the whole world, outside the capital, not to mention the people, how do you plan to deal with those border generals, if they seize this handle, do not recognize the edict, do not recognize the identity of the new emperor, what kind of consequences will be caused at that time, has my father thought about it?"
