Chapter 63: Turmoil in the court

Zhang Han's first reaction was whether Chen Xi was lying to himself and didn't want to worry about himself.

He immediately stared at Chen Xi's eyes and asked, "What you said is true, Your Highness is really fine."

Hearing this, Chen Xi took out a letter from his bosom and said, "The slave doesn't dare to deceive the crown princess, this is a handwritten letter just sent by His Royal Highness through the flying pigeon, I am afraid that you will worry and hurt your body."

Zhang Han snatched the letter, and first confirmed the handwriting, which was written by Li Hao himself, and the writing was strong and powerful, it really didn't look like it was written by an injured person, so he browsed the specific content with a little confidence.

In fact, the letter didn't say much, just let Zhang Han know about acting, and asked her to pretend in the future and not show it in front of outsiders.

At the same time, he also told her that there might be some changes in the capital in the later period, so that she must trust Chen Xi.

After reading the letter, Zhang Han asked Chen Xi, "What does the change mentioned in His Highness's letter mean?"

Chen Xi replied: "According to what we have investigated, Zheng Zhuo's ultimate goal of wanting to assassinate His Highness this time may be to rebel, but we have no solid evidence in our hands.

That's why His Highness made this decision, wanting to force Zheng Zhuo and the others to mess with themselves, so as to eradicate these thieves."

Zhang Han is already smart, coupled with his understanding of Li Hao, so he always feels that Chen Xi's words are just incomplete truths.

But she didn't go to the bottom of it, but said, "Okay, then the safety of this East Palace will be handed over to you."

Chen Xi replied, "Please also rest assured that the princess is here, and she will not let you be in danger."

Zhang Han understood this, and then asked another question: "What should the palace do, this matter should be notified to the queen mother."

Chen Xi replied, "His Royal Highness has also arranged for the affairs of the palace."

Now Zhang Han understood better, turned his head and began to brew emotions and prepare for acting.

There are only two official exchanges between the news of Qidi and the capital, one is through the urgent documents of the official post road, and the other is the transmission of secret letters from the internal and external officials.

Among them, it is naturally the speed of the Hou officials' transmission, otherwise it would be in vain to spend so much money on the inter-guest organization.

It's just that the marquis of Qidi have all been incorporated by Li Hao, so this news is what Li Hao needs.

After Cui Ming got the secret letter from the Hou Guan, he was immediately taken aback, and at the same time a little disbelieving.

After all, in his impression, Li Hao had not been injured in the southern and northern wars all these years, so how could he be assassinated this time.

immediately asked Yan Xu, who came with a secret letter, "The prince was really assassinated?"

Yan Xu replied, "In addition to the Qidu Branch, the surrounding branches have also sent the same message, which can confirm that this news is true.

However, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much, since the poison in His Highness mentioned in the letter has been resolved, I think it will be a blessing in the future."

It's just that these words obviously can't reassure Cui Ming, and he said, "Immediately send the imperial doctor to Qidu, and your marquis will also send someone to go, one is to protect the prince, and at the same time investigate who did it."

But even so, Cui Ming was still not at ease, so he changed his words and said, "No, you should go in person."

Yan Xu shouldn't have raised an objection at this time, but based on his responsibility, he still said, "Your Majesty, this person who wants to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be an extremely vicious person.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no shortage of elite soldiers and good generals around him, and now that he has taken precautions, he must still have some security in terms of safety.

On the contrary, here is Your Majesty, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will jump off the wall in a hurry, please think twice about Your Majesty."

Cui Ming also calmed down at this time and asked, "What you said seems to be pointing, you have someone who is suspicious."

Yan Xu replied: "The minister does not have a specific direction, but this is a matter of motives, and if it is necessary to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince, he will definitely be the one who can benefit from this matter."

Although Yan Xu did not name him, Cui Ming could not understand it.

After pondering for a while, Cui Ming said, "Then you will stay in the capital to investigate secretly, but Qi Du still has to send the marquis, after all, the prince is surrounded by military generals, and it is okay to charge into battle, and it is used to prevent this."

It's a little bit of a small calculation, but it's still a little worse.

In addition, remember that all the news sent by Qi Du in the future will be sent directly in, and I will know the situation of the prince as soon as possible."

Yan Xu replied, and then left to start arranging people according to Cui Ming's order.

And Cui Ming was a little confused when he stayed in the palace, and he didn't know how to tell Wang Yi and Zhang Han the news, especially when Zhang Han was still pregnant in her belly.

It's just that Cui Ming didn't hesitate for too long, because he knew that he couldn't hide it, and instead of attacking suddenly, it was better to let Wang Yi be mentally prepared first.

So Cui Ming went to Zhengyang Palace, but he was really in front of Wang Yi, but he couldn't say it anymore.

Or did Wang Yi himself see that Cui Ming was wrong, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong, is something going on?"

Cui Ming replied, "There's something I want to tell you, but don't be in a hurry after you hear it."

It may be that the mother and son are connected, as soon as she heard this, Wang Yi thought of Li Hao, and immediately said urgently: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with Hao'er?"

Cui Ming said: "Just now there is news from the Houguan Qidu branch that Hao'er was stabbed and injured by a human stabbing while on patrol."

Hearing this, Wang Yi suddenly stood up from the stool and asked loudly, "What, Hao'er was stabbed."

Seeing her like this, Cui Ming hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Hao'er was only injured a little, and the medical officers treated her in time, and she didn't have to worry about her life."

In order to stabilize Wang Yi, Cui Ming chose to be big and small, but the effect is worrying.

Wang Yi said directly: "If you don't have to worry about your life, you can't do it if you're injured, you quickly give an order to let Hao'er come back."

Cui Ming said: "I have already sent the imperial doctor, hurry up and rush to Qidu, after all, Hao'er must be well recuperated if she is injured, otherwise rushing on the road will only affect her recovery.

I promise you that as soon as Hao'er's injuries are healed, I will let him come back immediately."

This is reasonable, although Wang Yi is anxious, but he also listens to it.

Then Cui Ming, in order to divert Wang Yi's attention, said: "The top priority now is how to inform the crown princess of this matter, she is pregnant, and this mood cannot fluctuate too much."

Wang Yi is completely sober now, Li Hao's injury is an irreparable fact, and Zhang Han and the child in his womb can't have any more twists and turns.

"yes, then I wonder what Your Majesty can do?"

Cui Ming had already thought about it on the way over, and said directly: "Hao'er was injured in broad daylight, and this news must not be hidden, so it is better to take the crown princess to live in Zhengyang Palace.

In this way, at least you can delay the time, and when Hao'er's side is stable, let him come over with a handwritten letter to appease the crown princess directly, and it will be more reassuring to have you by your side to take care of it."

Wang Yi just wanted to agree, but then he thought of what Chen Xi said when he entered the palace before, to beware of other people's words, so he stopped talking.

He asked rhetorically, "Have you now found out who this person who is planning to assassinate Hao'er?"

Cui Ming was stunned for a moment when asked, and replied, "I have already asked Yan Xu to arrange someone to investigate this matter, but this place is too far away from Qidu, and it will take some time to find out?"

Wang Yi replied: "Then don't summon the crown princess into the palace, let me go to the East Palace and tell the crown princess the news."

Cui Ming knew that Wang Yi was suspicious of the Zheng family, but in fact, Cui Ming himself was also suspicious, after all, if Li Hao really died, they would be the biggest gainers.

It's just that before there is empirical evidence, Cui Ming can't make this ruthless move, not because he cares about Zheng Zhuo's lives, but because of the royal blood born to several of their women.

Therefore, Cui Ming could only agree: "Since the queen has thought about it, then this matter will be presided over by the queen."

And this is just right, Cui Ming knows that after the official news of Li Hao's assassination reaches the capital, there will definitely be a storm in the court, and he probably won't have time at that time.

It's just that before the storm in the court started, the internal small storm of the Cen family, Ming, and Zheng started first.

through their private

channel, they only got the news a few hours later than the Hou Guan.

After several people were shocked, they hurriedly gathered together, and Cen Fa fired directly at Zheng Zhuo and said, "What's the matter, didn't we discuss waiting for the Anguo soldiers and horses to move south, and the capital here to prepare for a mutiny before assassinating Cui Hao?" Why did you do it early?"

Zheng Zhuo himself was also confused, and replied, "You ask me, this is not my order, how do I know what is going on.

Qi Du sent a message to me before, asking me about the assassination, but I didn't agree, and I also got the news with you this time."

It's just Zheng Zhuo's words, the other two obviously didn't believe it, Ming Song said, "This person was arranged by you, if you didn't give the order, how could they do it in advance."

Zheng Zhuo was speechless and said, "I arranged it, but I really didn't give the order, after all, what good is it for me to disrupt the plan."

Cen Fa and Ming Song glanced at each other, and then looked at Zheng Zhuo: "It's really not you?"

"It's really not me, how many times do you want me to say it before you believe it."

Seeing that Zheng Zhuo was really anxious, Ming Song and Cen Fa dispelled some doubts a little.

So Ming Song said, "It's not very important to discuss who gave the order now, let's think about what to do later, right?

Since Cui Hao is not dead, he will definitely hold on to this matter in the future."

After speaking, Ming Song asked Zheng Zhuo, "Is the person you arranged reliable or not?"

Zheng Zhuo replied, "Those people are all dead soldiers raised from childhood to adulthood, don't worry about loyalty, and according to the reports of people who were observing outside at that time, the assassins were all killed on the spot, without exception."

Ming Song breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, at least Cui Hao can't get any real evidence, but with Cui Hao's cleverness, even if there is no evidence, he will definitely bite us to death, so the most important thing now is His Majesty's attitude."

When Cen Fa heard this, he asked, "Then do you want to let the lady in the palace probe from His Majesty?"

Ming Song said: "No, it's too late to let them get out of the relationship at this time, but if they speak, they will have a weak impression from Your Majesty."

When several people were discussing, someone suddenly came to report and informed them of the news that Wang Yi was going to the East Palace.

Ming Song was shocked when he heard this, and said, "The queen mother went to the East Palace, it seems that Your Majesty is really guarding against us, and I am afraid that the crown princess will have an accident when she enters the palace."

Cen Fa and Zheng Zhuo also understood this, and then Zheng Zhuo said, "In this case, the mutiny must be carried out as soon as possible, but at this time, all eyes are on us, and this action is extremely restricted."

Ming Song replied: "Then find something to divert your attention, now that the Anwu War is over, the Anguo people can be regarded as free."

Lord Zheng, you immediately contact the Anguo people, tell them the news of Cui Hao's serious injury, and ask them to hurry to the border of the soldiers, so that it can also divert the attention of the people in the DPRK and the central government, so that we can take advantage of it.

As for me and Master Ming, we are responsible for messing up the situation during this time, and we will think that tomorrow morning, there will be many people who will impeach us, and we will deal with these people."

The three of them confirmed the general direction of responsibility and began to discuss the details in detail.

It's just that when this discussion was just right, Ming Song suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could this assassination be directed and acted by Cui Hao?"

Cen Fa and Zheng Zhuo were shocked when they heard this, and began to think about the possibility of this matter.

From their point of view, this is indeed possible, after all, Qi did not get a clear order to do it, this thing is really strange.

It's just that it didn't take long for Ming Song to answer the question himself: "Forget it, no matter what the truth of this matter is, we are already ready to send it.

Since Cui Hao knew about the assassination, he couldn't let us go."

So the three of them then began to discuss again, but a haze was already hanging over their hearts.

Wang Yi, on the other side, had already found Zhang Han in the East Palace, and in a period of hesitation, he beautified Li Hao's assassination and informed Zhang Han.

Then came the moment of Zhang Han's hurricane acting, which shocked in a short period of time.

The worries are all deduced.

and also ordered on the spot to ask Chen Xi to quickly pack his things and set off for Qidu in front of Wang Yi.

It was Wang Yi who stopped: "No, there are a lot of elite soldiers around Hao'er, and now as long as you are careful to take precautions, it is nothing, but the danger on your side is greater."

No one knows if those people who failed to assassinate Hao'er will turn their heads to you.

I came here to tell you that after that, you will stay in the East Palace, and no matter who is looking for you, don't leave.

I have already discussed this matter with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has agreed to come down."

Then he turned his head to Chen Xi and instructed him to take care of it.

appeased Zhang Han for a while, and only after she felt that Zhang Han's mood had stabilized did Wang Yi leave the East Palace.

However, before leaving, Wang Yi explained that she would come back tomorrow, and it seemed that she planned to accompany Zhang Han, the daughter-in-law, in the next few days.

The next day, as Li Hao's assassination became public, the court immediately became agitated.

Zheng Zhuo and Ming Song were instantly regarded as suspects by the princelings and impeached.

It's just that they don't have evidence in their hands, and they can't do anything about Zheng Zhuo and others, they just give Cui Ming a headache.

In order to calm down the incident, it is also because of the suspicion in Cui Ming's heart.

Cui Ming found an excuse and transferred Zheng Zhuo to the post of depriving him of the authority to lead the forbidden army in the capital.
