Shen Huaiyi said: "The queen mother's wolf ambition is no longer for a while. When the first emperor was still there, she repeatedly interfered in court affairs. Because the first emperor had his own considerations, he didn't do anything to the queen mother, so he always let her go, but he didn't expect that now he has deep roots. In addition, the little emperor who registered first did not use a high-pressure policy against it, and many officials in the court were not afraid of him, but were even more afraid of the queen mother, and privately showed favor to the queen mother. ”

"This person is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard." Li Beixuan said with a smile, "The days of peace and happiness will not pass, you have to give him some strength, he will know who to stand with." ”

Shen Huaiyi sighed: "Many people stand in the officialdom, not for their own lofty ambitions, but just to use the official position on their heads as a tool to absorb resources." For them, survival is all that is a prerequisite. It was precisely when the first emperor saw this, so he used a high-pressure policy internally, making everyone fear him. ”

Li Beixuan did not comment on Shen Huaiyi's words, but said: "Then I will go and look for it in private, and try to let the emperor come back as soon as possible." ”

"Then there's Lord Laury." Shen Huaiyi said.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Li Beixuan responded with his hand.

The three of them left the secret passage together, and put the unwitting couple back on the bed.

Left unharmed.

On the way back to Nanshi, Shen Huaiyi asked a question: "Lord Li, is the gray crow really dead?" ”

Li Beixuan smiled: "According to my speculation, the gray crow is higher than the red crow in the low position of the wildfire road, and he will not easily use the prohibition in his body. The one who just died should be just a stand-in. ”

"What?" Ye Manxi was very surprised, "Then my eldest brother's revenge, hasn't it been avenged yet?" ”

Li Beixuan said: "Your eldest brother's revenge has been avenged. I mean, Jin Zuo is just a stand-in, and the real Grey Crow is someone else. ”

"Someone else." Ye Manxi was shocked.

Li Beixuan nodded: "However, whether there is really someone else or not, I plan to carry out a plan." ”

"What's the plan?" Ye Manxi asked.

Li Beixuan recounted: "Let's claim to the outside world that we have caught the gray crow, and we have obtained a lot of information about the wildfire road from the gray duck. In this way, it can not only cause panic within the wildfire road, but also calm public opinion externally. Another key point is that you can take this opportunity to suppress the power of the queen mother. Because we have controlled the crows, we say that whoever is the rebel of the wildfire path is the rebel of the wildfire path. ”

Ye Manxi frowned: "Isn't this plan somewhat unruly?" ”

"I think so." Shen Huaiyi said, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used. Although this is a lie and unruly, it is the best way to settle this conflict. ”

Li Beixuan said: "The premise of this matter is that the three of us must reach a consensus and speak the same language, so that everyone believes that we have really caught the crow and have secretly imprisoned him." ”

Ye Manxi agreed: "Whatever Master Li says, I will do it." ”

After returning to the capital that night.

Shen Huaiyi asked the people of Baipao Temple to post a notice overnight to explain to everyone that it was the gray crows of the wildfire road that caused all this.

And the real Grey Crow has been caught.

Li Beixuan also asked the people of Xichang who were patrolling the streets to notify them from door to door, so that everyone could sleep with peace of mind and not be afraid.

The people of Xichang admired Li Beixuan very much, and naturally when they notified this matter, they increased their efforts to praise their own adults.

All of a sudden, the people of the entire capital were talking about Li Beixuan's goodness.

"Lord Li is really our life-saving benefactor, originally I didn't dare to sleep tonight, but I didn't expect Lord Li to kill the rebel thief of the wildfire road in such a timely manner."

"Only when Master Li is here, we will have a stable life, Lord Li is really the blue sky of our people."

"Thank you, Master Li, for being the master of our little people and avenging us. I want to thank Master Li for our old man. ”

【……】

The civil and military officials in the capital are also discussing this matter.

"The speed of Lord Li's handling is really incredible. In the entire capital, everyone was helpless, how could he catch the core figure of the Wildfire Road in a short period of time? ”

"If you don't say that Master Li is the first detective, Shen Huaiyi has followed him, and he has also stained a lot of light."

"No wonder Master Li is on the rise, he can become the emperor's henchman, he has the ability. I'm afraid it won't be long before Lord Li's status in the court will be able to sit on an equal footing with Sanping. ”

【……】

This wave of operations is opened, plus the previous harvest from Ye Manxi and others, the total charm value is almost 500 points.

It's just a soft earning.

In addition to expressing shock and praise for Li Beixuan's ability, of course, there are many people who doubt him and slander him.

For example, Cao Jin, the factory of the West Factory.

The next morning.

Cao Jin entered the palace in a low-key manner and went to report the news to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the old slave thinks that Li Beixuan is not clean, and he should have colluded with the people of Wildfire Road a long time ago. I had been asking last night where he had held that so-called Grey Crow. However, there were only three people who witnessed their actions, one was Shen Huaiyi, and the other was Ye Manxi. Shen Huaiyi said that only Li Beixuan knew where the crow was held, and he was only responsible for cooperating with the arrest, but where the crow was held and who the true face of this person was, did not reveal any information at all. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold: "Shen Huaiyi is an old treacherous and cunning, so naturally he can't inquire from him, and he doesn't have any news." What about the little girl of the Ye family, what did she say? ”

Cao Jin said: "The girl from the Ye family said that Shen Huaiyi and Li Beixuan knocked her unconscious during the operation, and she only knew that the gray crow was caught, but it is completely unclear where and how she was caught. ”

"Waste, it's just a waste, even a little girl can't handle it." The Queen Mother was furious.

Cao Jin immediately knelt down and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, you are angry, the old slave has an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "What do you think? ”

Cao Jin said with high interest: "The old slave has always thought that there must be some kind of unknown relationship between Li Beixuan and the Wildfire Dao, otherwise, how could it break so quickly. ”

"Then what do you say, what are they working together for?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Cao Jin thought that the queen mother had taken the bait, and the more he chatted, the more interested he became: "It is very important to praise Li Beixuan higher, let the emperor reuse him, and let all the officials feel that he has the ability, so that he can win over more people." In this way, he will be able to draw more power from the wildfire tract so that they can rebel. ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She had thought about it before, but felt that the probability was a bit low.

But after so many years of ups and downs in the harem, I also understand a truth, which is called the separation of the human heart from the belly.

No matter how unlikely it may seem, it can happen.

People can give up everything for the sake of profit: "Then you say, what should we do next?" ”

Cao Jin said: "The old slave thinks that we should take advantage of the turmoil to act as soon as possible, let Prince Wu inherit the throne, and then concentrate on dealing with the wildfire road." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although she was desperate in her heart to take the throne as soon as possible.

But this kind of thing is not child's play, and if there is a problem in any of these links, it is a major crime to kill the head.

Even if he fails, the emperor can't bear to kill himself, so he will not hesitate to kill his son first, and then imprison himself for life.

It's no different from death.

Anyone who does this kind of thing, except for a madman, will be cautious, cautious, and cautious.

Cao Jin persuaded again: "Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, many ministers support us. Not to mention, Prince Wu has an influence in our army that no one else can have, as long as he raises the flag to rebel, then many people will follow. ”

The queen was still sitting on the couch to rest, but at this moment she had already stood up: "It's light, don't forget, there are three dukes in the capital." More than half of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are related to the three of them, and if we do not get the support of the three of them, we will surely fail. What's more, the ancestor of the Xu family and the ancestor of the Shen family have already been released. What kind of realm the two of them have reached, and whether they have stepped into the first product, is not yet known. A first-grade powerhouse can change the tide of the battle, the Xu family has always been against us, in case the old monster of their family suddenly makes a move, then we are likely to be killed on the spot. The Shen family is currently in the prison country, and it is even more unlikely that they will support us. The Ye family has always been a wall-to-wall grass, and once we have a disadvantage, they will be the first to point the finger at us.

Cao Jin persuaded: "Since this is the case, it is better for us to concentrate on dealing with the Shen family first and disintegrate them." ”

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment and said, "What you said has some truth. The relationship between the Xu family and the Shen family is very delicate, and it would be great if we could take this opportunity to turn the two families against each other. ”

Cao Jin saw that his treacherous plan had succeeded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will arrange it to make more people question that the Shen family has held the emperor hostage." Then, he instigated the Xu family to be enemies of the Shen family. Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, we won't suffer. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, just do it." ”

"The old slave will arrange it." Cao Jin left happily.

The Empress Dowager found someone to call Li Beixuan over.

The first was to ask for some news about the Grey Raven.

Li Beixuan directly pushed this matter to Shen Huaiyi: "Queen Mother, you don't know anything. In fact, the one who really detained the gray crow was Lord Shen. The Raven is currently being held in Shen Mansion for investigation. Although Weichen has gained fame and praise from the people on the surface, he is actually a backstabber. ”

The Empress Dowager didn't believe Li Beixuan's rhetoric, and asked coldly: "Are you a child when you mourn?" ”

Li Beixuan showed a very upright state: "Queen Mother, if you doubt Weichen like this, then Weichen is also difficult to argue." Weichen can only tell you what he knows, and the real identity of this gray crow is Jin Zuo of Jinguang Temple. I don't know anything else.

This trick can also be regarded as a salute before the soldiers, showing their toughness first.

And then a little bit of news.

The Empress Dowager was still very satisfied: "You mean to say that Jinguang Temple has something to do with this matter." ”

"Weichen thinks that Jinguang Temple must have hidden other core figures of the Wildfire Dao, but it has not surfaced for the time being." Li Beixuan said, "As long as Weichen finds out the news, he will definitely sue you as soon as possible." ”

"I'll leave that at that." The Empress Dowager said, "The mourning family asked you, where did the emperor go?" ”

"Where exactly did I go, this Weichen really doesn't know." Li Beixuan said, "However, Weichen heard that the emperor has a master with a very high cultivation, and he took the emperor to a secret place to practice. Where the hell is this place? Nobody knows. ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly: "I also heard the first emperor mention it before, saying that the emperor has been secretly practicing with his master when he was a child. Do you know, what kind of cultivation is he, the master? ”

Li Beixuan looked at it in private, giving people a very cautious look.

Then he quietly stood beside the Queen Mother, and said in a low voice: "Wechen once heard the emperor mention that his master has already stepped into the first product with half a foot, but it is difficult to say whether he has entered the first product at present. ”

The Queen Mother's brow furrowed even tighter.

A strong man with a good grade is enough to change the tide of the battle, she doesn't want to be in the middle of a rebellion, and the emperor suddenly takes the master to kill him on the spot.

Li Beixuan got closer at this time, directly attached to the empress dowager's ear, and asked softly: "Niangniang, I have been to the Shen Mansion and have had contact with the ancestor of the Shen family. I think that the cultivation of the ancestor of the Shen family has reached its peak. ”

Reaching the peak is an empty word, big or small.

The queen mother became more and more sad after hearing this, and felt that the probability of her rebellion succeeding was getting lower and lower.

Don't say it, although the queen mother is nearly forty years old, her charm is still there, and she still exudes a fragrance on her body.

Li Beixuan quietly approached and sniffed it gently, which was very comfortable.

The Empress Dowager felt Li Beixuan, as if she was sniffing the breath on my own body, she was extremely angry, and waited for Li Beixuan with cold eyes.

Li Beixuan immediately began to flamboyate: "The Queen Mother, Weichen doesn't mean to be disrespectful, your majesty makes Weichen bow his head involuntarily, and ask the Queen Mother to atone for his sins." ”

After receiving the compliment, the Queen Mother was actually quite happy in her heart.

But she still made a very cold look: "Don't be smart in front of the mourning family." ”

Li Beixuan said very respectfully: "Weichen is just a chess piece in the hands of Niangniang, how dare you have delusions." ”
