Soon, when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were staring at how to kill Zhou Rui'an, another letter changed everyone's attention.

Zhou Ruian was removed, but who should take over as the commander of Jinyiwei?

At this moment, the ministers stopped arguing, and no one cared about Zhou Rui'an, and they all stared at the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

How important is Jinyiwei, that is the emperor's eyeliner, an embroidered spring knife is a symbol of privilege, as the leader of Jinyiwei, he has supreme rights.

This position was so important that for a while, everyone who thought they were qualified to compete began to move.

Among them are the queen and the concubine Qin.

The queen was bound to win this position, but the second prince did not think so, and the mother and son had another dispute.

"Mother, now my father is very jealous of us! This time, Zhou Rui'an's matter was too big, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all asking to deal with Zhou Rui'an, and his father was already dissatisfied, otherwise the matter would not have dragged on for so long. The second prince said bitterly.

The queen didn't care, and said mockingly: "You don't understand, your father is just trying to save face!" I can't wait to kill Zhou Rui'an in my heart, but I am afraid of my reputation, you look at it, when the time comes, we will light the fire again, and Zhou Rui'an will die! ”

The second prince frowned tightly: "Queen Mother, Zhou Ruian is not so easy to deal with......"

The queen's face also sank: "You mean that the queen mother is not as good as Zhou Rui'an?" ”

The queen was a little unhappy, she had always been very proud, she felt that it was condescending to be in charge of the harem with her own ability, and her mental strategy was no worse than that of a man, otherwise how could she assist her son?

The second prince looked helpless: "Erchen didn't mean that." ”

But the queen interrupted him sharply: "All right! Don't say it again, don't forget, your uncle was killed by Zhou Rui'an! After a pause, a glint flashed in her eyes: "I am going to be the leader of this brocade guard!" Do you still remember that when our mother and son lost power, those faces who were high and low! ”

The queen suffered a big loss because of the Weiyuan dart game, which led to the phoenix seal being taken away and falling into the hands of Qin Guifei, the queen's life in the palace was not very good, the queen tasted humiliation for the first time, and also understood the feeling of losing power, she absolutely could not tolerate such a loss to happen again.

Commander of the Jinyi Guard, she must get it!

The second prince opened his mouth, and when he saw that she looked firm, he finally had to sigh and stop talking.

The queen also comforted the second prince with a few words: "Don't worry, my son, the queen mother has a way, she must get this position!" As she spoke, a light flashed in her eyes that was bound to be won.

Dong Chengke is still in her hands, and if necessary, she doesn't mind exchanging this trump card for the position of the commander of the brocade guard.

On the other side, Qin Guifei is also eyeing this position.

In the past, Qin Guifei cooperated with Zhou Rui'an, just to value the brocade guards behind him, the three thousand brocade guards, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are familiar with the secrets of all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, as long as they can know this, it is equivalent to controlling the weaknesses of the ministers, and when the time comes, they are still worried that her Xiaoqi will not be able to sit on the throne of the prince?

Therefore, there is a reason why the queen is so persistent in the position of the leader of the Jinyi Guard.

Qin Guifei and the queen both exerted their strength at the same time, and each refused to allow his own person to sit in this position, this time Zhao Tianqiao did not keep quiet, and took out all his strength to compete for the position of the leader of the Jinyi Guard.

Emperor Xuande saw this situation, and his heart was even more complicated, now the queen and Qin Guifei are constantly playing and turning, in fact, he doesn't want to use either, but his body is not as good as before, facing the pressure of nearly more than half of the courtiers, even if he is angry in his heart, he also understands the helplessness of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Emperor Xuande looked at it, and even felt that it was better to let Zhou Ruian do it, but Zhou Rui'an's mind was big, and he actually wanted to uncover the events of the year, and Dong Cheng was still in the hands of the queen...... His eyes flashed, maybe he could use this incident to get Dong Cheng into his hands?

The queen also thought so, and soon came to see Emperor Xuande, and when they met, she said: "Your Majesty, Dong Cheng has news, Mingkun sent a message yesterday, saying that he had found Dong Cheng's traces, but his identity was not good and he took the liberty of making a move, and he was worried that he would be alarmed, I wonder if Your Majesty can send someone to help?" ”

Emperor Xuande's eyes flashed, and when he met her smiling gaze, the two of them had a tacit understanding.

Emperor Xuande bowed slightly: "It's embarrassing for this child, cough cough ......" He coughed lightly twice: "I will let Jinyiwei go over when I turn around." ”

That's what it means to agree! It seems that the deal is done, and the queen smiled slightly.

The queen won this game, and she couldn't help but be proud, this time she not only knocked down Zhou Rui'an, but also took over the Jinyi Guard, which is really killing two birds with one stone!

However, there is still enough to do the drama, Dong Cheng must not be found in the mansion of the Dingguo Mansion, so the queen immediately sent a message to Fang Mingkun and asked him to send Dong Cheng out of the city.

Fang Mingkun knew the importance of Dong Cheng, so he attached great importance to this matter, and even personally escorted Dong Cheng, he did not choose the dead of night, on the contrary, he decided to send Dong Cheng out of the city during the day.

Dong Cheng was packed in a sack, and in order to hide people's eyes, he also deliberately chose four carriages and left in four directions.

"Be careful, move lightly." Fang Mingkun personally sat in the town, staring at the people under him.

Dong Cheng was moved out and put in a carriage.

Fang Mingkun sat in Dong Cheng's carriage: "Get out of the city quickly, don't delay!" ”

After leaving the city, he ran all the way, but as soon as he left the official road, he was robbed when he wanted to enter the path!

Six masked men in black, each with strong martial arts, vigorous skills, and a very organized rush over, because they are not only fighting, but also commanding!

"Stop them! The fifth child went to find someone! ”

One of them brandished a long whip, and one of the whips struck the carriage door, breaking it in half.

Fang Mingkun is a son-in-law in the end, although he also practices martial arts, but it is all fancy, it is simply to strengthen his body, and this time when he went out, he was worried that there were too many people and the target was too big, so he only brought a few masters, but the other party was obviously prepared, five men in black entangled his subordinates, and the remaining one came to deal with Fang Mingkun.

The black-clothed man with the long whip looked at Fang Mingkun and sneered, a whip was whipped on his body, Fang Mingkun screamed, and his guards wanted to come over to protect Fang Mingkun, but they were entangled and couldn't be separated at all.

Fang Mingkun was kicked out of the carriage, and the man in black walked directly into the carriage, opened the sack, and when he saw the people inside, he hugged the person out, and the man in black whistled, and several people in black immediately retreated.

Fang Mingkun was helped up by his subordinates, and he stomped his feet angrily: "Chase me!" ”

This time it was none other than Lin Zheyuan, Chen Xiuer and the four brothers who came out to rob people.

The four brothers volunteered to come, and they swore that they were good at blocking the road and robbing them, and they promised that there would be no problem!

When they arrived at a safe place, seeing that Fang Mingkun's people hadn't caught up, a few people stopped.

"In the end, it's professional, it's really different!" Chen Xiuer looked at the four brothers and joked with a smile.

The scholar smiled: "That's all in the past, now follow the boss, we haven't had such a thing for a long time!" ”

"Okay, don't say it, go back quickly, the prince and Qingyue should be in a hurry." Lin Zheyuan interrupted them and said.

Lin Zheyuan's mood is also very complicated, but he thinks differently from others, he just thinks that it is no wonder that Fang Mingkun can't fight Zhou Rui'an, look, when Zhou Rui'an left the capital that day, he found their Weiyuan Dart Bureau to protect the bodyguard, where is it like this Fang Mingkun, he went out with the guards by himself, just those guards, can be regarded as martial arts? He could beat five of them!

Lin Zheyuan thought silently in his heart, and took Dong Cheng back to find Zhou Rui'an to recover his life.

Dong Cheng lost this matter, the queen soon knew, she was furious, Dong Cheng lost, how could she explain to Emperor Xuande!

Sure enough, Emperor Xuande couldn't wait to ask Dong Cheng about the situation, but the queen couldn't say anything, and Emperor Xuande thought that the queen was playing tricks with him again, so he was furious and drove her out directly.

Concubine Qin came over to deliver the soup again, this time she lowered her eyebrows and didn't mention a word of state affairs.

"Your Majesty, the state has been busy lately, you should take care of yourself." Qin Guifei said softly, leaning sideways, her side face quiet and gentle.

Emperor Xuande looked at her side face and was slightly distracted, this explanation was like a very clear ......

Concubine Qin Guifei sent the tonic soup and retired, "Serve Your Majesty well and be vigilant." ”

As soon as Concubine Qin left, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but feel a little lost, and the eunuch beside him said: "Your Majesty, look at this twist, the queen's side ......"

Emperor Xuande said lightly: "The queen's mind is big. ”

The eunuch shrank for a moment, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Xuande said to himself again: "That's it, just like her wish." ”

The eunuch stood to the side with low eyebrows, unable to figure out whether this 'she' was referring to the queen or Qin Guifei.

Soon, the candidate for the commander of the Jinyi Guard came out, and this time Emperor Xuande directly issued an order, pointing to Zhang Bing, the deputy lieutenant of the Guards.

This Zhang Bing is just an ordinary general, with medium martial arts and mediocre appearance, but his father is Zhao Tianqiao's confidant and friend, and he is also an unswerving Qin Guifei.

The confrontation between the queen and Qin Guifei was actually lost again.

When the news reached Zhou Rui'an's ears, he just hooked the corners of his lips, looked at Jiang Qingyue on the side, and said with a smile: "Qingyue, I still have to eat, you feed me." ”

Jiang Qingyue casually fed him a piece of apple, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You have long guessed that this will be the result?" After a pause, she said puzzledly: "Why does the emperor have to make a choice between the queen and Qin Guifei, can't he choose a person who has no foundation?" ”

Zhou Ruian smiled faintly: "Qingyue, do you think the emperor is choosing the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" He is paving the way for the future prince! ”

Therefore, this Jinyi Wei commander must be a member of the queen and Qin Guifei's faction!

Jiang Qingyue's expression was grim.

Zhou Rui'an continued: "This time the queen lost unjustly, the previous incident of the hundred officials had made the emperor unhappy, but the queen was too proud and didn't notice this, and then she tried to use Dong Cheng to exchange the position of Jinyi Wei with the emperor, think about it, with the emperor's temperament, can he be happy?" ”

Emperor Xuande made a deal with the queen, which was a helpless move, but Fang Mingkun also lost Dong Cheng, this deal did not work out, and Emperor Xuande naturally did not need to scruple anymore.

The Thunder Fury of the Ninety-Five Venerable is not a joke.

"Emperor Xuande is afraid of the queen's power, but he is worried that no one can compete with her, and at this time, Concubine Qin is naturally the best candidate." Zhou Ruian continued.

The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, the queen and Qin Guifei are incompatible, Emperor Xuande wants to suppress the queen, so he naturally has to promote Qin Guifei, he wants to give Qin Guifei full strength, to deal with the queen, so that the queen can take care of herself.

Jiang Qingyue suddenly realized, "So, the emperor still trusts Concubine Qin?" I didn't completely reject her because of you. ”

"That's not necessarily," Zhou Ruian said lightly: "It's just that the emperor didn't have a choice." ”

Emperor Xuande only has two sons, a queen and a concubine, he always has to make a choice, although he doesn't like both, but among the two people who don't like it, choose one who is not so annoying, Qin Guifei doesn't take advantage of it?

At this point, the queen boasts of her unparalleled resourcefulness, but she doesn't understand the truth that a woman should show weakness, and Concubine Qin does it very well.

Jiang Qingyue furrowed his brows: "So, the emperor is going to appoint the seventh prince as the prince?" ”

Zhou Ruian looked at her with a smile: "No, it's between the queen and Concubine Qin, and it's finally going to die." ”

Jiang Qingyue pursed his lips.

All this is a bureau set up by Zhou Rui, and the bait is the position of the commander of Jinyiwei, he knows that as long as this bait is released, the queen and Qin Guifei will not give up, and sure enough, the two of them have been fighting endlessly, and the queen did not hesitate to use Dong Cheng to make a deal in order to get this position.

At that time, Luo Bei had already sent someone to keep an eye on Fang Mingkun, followed him out of the city, and robbed Dong Cheng back, without Dong Cheng, the queen would have no hole cards in her hand, so she would definitely lose this game!

All of this was expected by Zhou Rui'an, he calculated the queen's thoughts, as well as Emperor Xuande's reaction!

Jiang Qingyue thought of this, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Rui'an with complicated eyes, he is a person, in addition to every move of chess is interlocking, he can also calculate people's hearts, and he has no last resort, which is really well-deserved.

"What about us, what are we going to do?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Ruian smiled slightly: "I really like to hear you talk about us," after a pause, he deepened the depth of the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth: "We, wait and see!" ”

Emperor Xuande's attitude towards Qin Guifei is obvious, this is a clear weather vane, those ministers who were originally ambiguous, all of a sudden they all favored Qin Guifei, and there was an endless stream of people visiting her mother's house, this time Zhao Tianqiao went against the low-key style of acting in the past, and also opened the door to personally receive several important ministers of the court.

For a time, Qin Guifei and the Seven Princes were in the limelight.

In contrast, the situation of the queen and the second prince has become difficult, because of this matter, the queen also has a lot of complaints about Fang Mingkun, if it wasn't for his unfavorable work and lost Dong Cheng, they would not have fallen to this point.

The queen's temper has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and even Mama Gui, who is the most trusted by her side, has been scolded, and the second prince has entered the palace to visit the queen.

The queen's expression was angry: "It's all Mingkun, and he looks capable on weekdays, but something went wrong with such a big thing!" ”

The second prince said helplessly: "Queen Mother, don't blame my cousin, I said a long time ago, don't fight for this position, if we had been doing it step by step, my father would not have given this position to Concubine Qin." ”

The second prince couldn't figure it out, his mother had always been smart, why was this matter so confused? In fact, the father didn't plan to choose between Concubine Qin and the queen at all, he didn't want the queen and Concubine Qin to sit big, but the queen was eyeing this position, and Concubine Qin moved her mind in order not to be slaughtered.

The queen didn't expect that she would lose in the end, which was obviously a foolproof plan!

When the queen heard the words of the second prince, her eyes lit up: "Who is the queen mother for?" It's not all for you! Are you still serving as the queen mother? ”

"The queen mother, the sons don't have it." The second prince hurriedly said, paused, and continued: "Now it's better for us to think about how to save ourselves, if the father and emperor decree to make the seventh brother the prince, it will be too late." ”

The queen's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, the queen mother won't let this kind of thing happen!" ”

The second prince's heart jumped: "Queen Mother, what are you going to do?" ”

"The queen mother knows in her heart, you don't have to worry about it!" The queen said lightly, and after a pause, she curled the corners of her lips.

Who said she was cornered? She still has one last trump card in her hand!

The real princess of Ningyang!

However, the queen didn't plan to tell the second prince that this kid was very scruples about that wild seed, and she couldn't let him ruin her plan!

The second prince looked at the queen's deep gaze, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

The second prince knew that no matter what he said, the current queen would not listen, so he got up and retired, he was depressed, he was unwilling to go home, and walked aimlessly on the street.

Walking and walking, he walked to the Zhou Mansion, he did not go in, but stood on the street, looking at the house opposite.

I don't know if she's there, she has always had a good relationship with Zhou Rui'an, this time Zhou Rui'an was injured, she must be very concerned, right?

When he didn't know Jiang Qingyue's gender before, he thought that they were just brothers and had a better relationship, but later when he knew the truth, he understood why Zhou Ruian always had a hostility towards him.

The second prince couldn't help but smile astringently, if he was replaced and had her by his side, he would also be worried that others would find out about her, and he couldn't wait to hide her.

But he is not qualified, he is destined from the beginning, and he is not even qualified to fight.

The second prince lowered his head and covered the astringency in his eyes, now everyone is saying that Zhou Rui'an has lost power, and if he is not in danger, he is likely to be punished and killed, and they are all watching his jokes, but he envies Zhou Rui'an, who always has her by his side.

Thinking of this, the second prince didn't dare to look at the house again, turned around and wanted to leave, but Jiang Qingyue happened to walk out from next door, and when he saw the second prince, his eyes lit up.

Jiang Qingyue doesn't hate the second prince, on the contrary, she has a good impression of this half-brother who has a good relationship with her, and she has always firmly believed that she and the second prince are related by blood, so the relationship between the two is so good.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Qingyue hurriedly walked over to the second prince, and when he saw that he was alone, he couldn't help frowning: "Why did Your Highness come out alone?" What if there is a mistake? ”

The eyes of the second prince couldn't help but light up: "Does Qingyue care about me?" ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said: "What His Highness said, you and I are friends, I naturally care about Your Highness." ”

What's more, we are still half-siblings.

However, Jiang Qingyue didn't say it, she felt that the second prince might not know about this matter, and she didn't need to say it to let him know, more things were better than less.

But Jiang Qingyue didn't know that what the second prince was thinking at this time was that they were not only friends, but also brother and sister.

Because of the same concerns, the two did not reveal each other's identities, and both had an idea that he/she did not know, and both thought that only they knew the secret.

The second prince couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, halfway up, suddenly thought of the identities of the two, and couldn't help but droop down, but he still couldn't help but feel happy.

Jiang Qingyue saw that his expression was entangled, as if he had something unspeakable, and said with concern: "Your Highness wants to go to the toilet?" You can go to the house ......"

The second prince smiled strongly: "No, no, I'm just passing by." After a pause, he found that he had nothing to say, so he said casually: "By the way, how is Lord Zhou's body?" I heard that I hurt my leg a few days ago. ”

After the second prince finished speaking, he regretted it a little, worried that Jiang Qingyue thought that he was spying on Zhou Rui'an's news.

But fortunately, Jiang Qingyue didn't care: "It's already much better." ”

Both of them fell silent, so many things had happened, it was difficult for them to sing about wine as before.

Finding this, both of them sighed a little in their hearts.

The second prince sighed: "Lord Zhou is a city with a heart, but this time his facts are too big, I'm afraid it's difficult to be kind, I know, even if I persuade you to leave now, you won't agree, so you have to be more careful in everything, if there is anything difficult, you can go to me." After a pause, he said abruptly, "If you can trust me." ”

Jiang Qingyue nodded seriously: "I naturally trust Your Highness!" After a pause, she added, "Your Highness should also relax." ”

The situation of the second prince is not good, but at the beginning, Concubine Qin Guifei could win over Zhou Rui'an to deal with the queen, but Zhou Rui'an could not cooperate with the queen no matter what, they were already dying, this was a dead end.

The second prince also knew this truth, so he nodded lightly: "Then, I'll go back first." ”

"I'll send it to Your Highness." Jiang Qingyue hurriedly said.

The second prince opened his mouth, but he was still reluctant to refuse this proposal, if he could stay a little longer, it would be good.

The second prince nodded.

The two walked side by side to the prince's mansion, they chatted casually, regardless of power, no interests, like two old friends, getting along easily and comfortably.

Until many, many years later, when the second prince thought of Jiang Qingyue, he would think of that day, and he thought that if there was no end to that road, it would be the greatest luck in life to go down with her.

When he arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince did not invite Jiang Qingyue in, for fear that the queen would know that it would be unfavorable to Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Qingyue waved goodbye to him, and the Second Prince looked at her back for a long time before turning around and entering the mansion.
