With the seizure of the Pingxi Houfu, the assassination of the prince finally came to an end. Both the government and the opposition breathed a sigh of relief.

Miao Shao touched the ice white jade snuff bottle in his sleeve, the best white jade was a small gift obtained from cooperating with the Dragon Scale Army this time.

What he values is not a snuffbox. He had never thought of cooperating with the Dragonscale Army.

But the situation was pressing, and he had to do it. Otherwise, if the people's grievances are allowed to boil, the world will only be in chaos. Miao Shao held the Moon Guard, knowing better what was at stake.

Although he is only a eunuch, he is not a stupid person, and he does not want to be the minister who brought disaster to the country and the people. Although the previous dynasty is far away, is there still such a thing?

All the power of Miao Shao was given by Emperor Songlie, and it was not good for him that the world was in chaos. Perhaps, the first unlucky one was him, who was accused of bewitching the country with false words, and even when he died, he was saddled with the infamy of being spurned by all the people.

Ping Xihou, if you want to blame him, blame him for being too greedy.

gave up their family in exchange for peace in the world. This account, how to calculate how cost-effective.

"Your Majesty, the Guozijian has signed a joint letter again." Miao Shao held a stack of folds and came to Emperor Songlie.

Emperor Songlie opened his eyes, snorted angrily, and said, "Really, I don't dare to kill their gang of old decayers? ”

"Your Majesty is angry," Miao Shao persuaded: "They can't understand Your Majesty, they just think about Lichu, they really deserve to die!" ”

It has been more than four months since the death of the crown prince.

Prince Yin Chang died on the way back to Beijing for the New Year. The emperor can't accept it, and it's common sense.

But since Emperor Songlie is the emperor, he must first have a country and then a family. The crown prince has been vacant for more than four months, which is a factor of instability for a country.

What's more, Emperor Songlie is not young anymore, and his physical condition is worrying.

The courtiers persuaded the emperor to establish a prince, which was a serious matter. Yes, even Miao Shao turned around for them. However, Emperor Songlie avoided talking about it, and no one knew what his plans were.

So far, all the concerts to persuade him to establish a prince have been rejected by him, and even a few people have lost their positions because of this.

The green tendons on the back of Emperor Songlie's hand rose high, and he reached out and brushed a bronze wine bottle in his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound of "clang".

This voice seemed to sound in Miao Shao's heart, making him shake all over his body and dare not speak again.

The air was silent, and only the strange smell of corruption lingered in the hall.

"Miao Shao, you go and check an old matter for me." Emperor Songlie's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, please."

"Seventeen years ago, Queen Ji dismissed a group of palace people before she died. Most of these palace people were brought by her from Jingnanguo. Emperor Songlie said slowly, telling the dusty secrets in the palace.

"One of them, took my little princess!" Emperor Songlie's voice suddenly became stern, and his eyes shot with a gleam, and he said, "When I found her, she was already dead!" ”

"But, now I suspect that she is not dead!" He couldn't see his expression clearly while wearing a bronze mask, but Miao Shao could imagine the emperor's sternness behind such a voice.

"Yes!" Miao Shao should be down.

"Go, find my little princess and bring her to me." After Emperor Songlie finished venting, he leaned softly on the dragon chair, waved his hand and said, "I want to give her the best everything in the world, the best ......"

His voice gradually lowered. Miao Shao waited for a long time, but the emperor still didn't move, so he tiptoed back.

This was not the first time, Emperor Songlie became exhausted after his rage and fell asleep without warning. And the frequency of occurrence has a tendency to increase.

Miao Shao complained bitterly in his heart, and the situation in front of him was very unfavorable to him.

Originally, he was a great eunuch who was deeply trusted by Emperor Songlie, not only had the right to meet the emperor at any time, but also held the Moon Guard, and his power could not be more stable.

A hundred years after the emperor, the crown prince Yin Chang succeeded to the throne, and he still needed to step on the moon guard.

So, since he ascended to the position of Commander of the Moon Guard, he has never felt a crisis. Until, the unexpected death of the crown prince.

Not only Emperor Songlie, but even he couldn't accept this fact.

Now, he has to find a new way to find a new life.

No matter how loud and neat the shouting of "Long live long live, long live, long live" is, the emperor will die one day, and there will always be someone who will ascend to the new throne.

When the crown prince is there, everyone doesn't have to think about this problem, because according to Emperor Songlie's favor for the prince, it will only be Yin Chang who will succeed him.

At this point, however, everything became uncertain.

Yin Chang was born by Queen Ji.

Empress Ji, the second queen married by Emperor Songlie, was originally the princess of Jingnan and the holy daughter of the clan.

More than 20 years ago, Emperor Songlie fell in love with her at first sight, and even came to the city until the surrender of the whole country of Jingnan, he fulfilled his wish and returned with a beauty.

Later, Jingnan became one of the vassal states of the Great Shang.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a forced marriage.

After returning to the dynasty, Emperor Songlie deposed the queen who was on the throne at that time to the cold palace, and the children born to him rushed to the fiefdom and imprisoned them until now.

This incident caused an uproar at the time.

The maiden home of Queen Wang is also the home of the eunuchs who have been inherited for a hundred years. How can a daughter give up easily because of this misfortune for a foreign woman?

The Wang family contacted many forces, and even the family intervened.

However, everyone didn't expect that Emperor Songlie's determination was so resolute. With brutal and bloody means, he showed everyone that his will was inviolable.

In the end, the Wang family, a big tree that seemed to be flourishing, fell down in one fell hula, and its power disappeared like smoke and dust. At the moment, there are only a few side branches left, and they dare not move a little.

But now, the tide has turned.

In addition to the crown prince, the most justifiable successor to the throne is the son of the queen.

Even if she is now in the cold palace, she was once the mother of a country. When she gave birth to her son, she was still the queen of the world. Among those who were imprisoned in the fiefdom were the two sons of the queen and queen, both of whom were over twenty years old.

These two princes, although they have suffered inexplicable misfortune since childhood, although the courtiers have never seen the two of them, but there is no doubt about their pure blood.

Since the death of Empress Ji, there have been many women in Emperor Songlie's harem, and every election will leave women with outstanding appearance. But no one ascended to the back seat, and the harem has always been in charge of the concubine.

The heirs in the harem were born, died, or grown, and Emperor Songlie never cared about it. Except for the routine rewards, he was all the same indifference.

Such a phenomenon was interpreted by everyone as the reason why Emperor Songlie loved Empress Ji too much, except that Wushan was not a cloud.

But Miao Shao, who has been serving Emperor Songlie for a long time, knows that the truth is not what people imagined. And today's order from Emperor Songlie revealed a huge secret to him.
