With Wang Kun's intentional acquiescence, Yan Xu came to Cui Ming like this.

As soon as Cui Ming saw Yan Xu, he immediately began to question: "I handed over the marquis to you to be in charge, how much trust I trusted, why Zheng Zhuo plotted against such a big thing, you don't know."

What can Yan Xu answer, he really didn't know about this before, so he could only kneel down and ask for guilt: "It's the minister's dereliction of duty, and I ask Your Majesty to condemn it."

Cui Ming was not satisfied with Yan Xu's reaction, and continued to reprimand angrily: "It's just a dereliction of duty, I think you are obviously deceiving the king, otherwise why would you wait for me to summon you.

Besides, you control the internal and external marquis, and you are the most well-informed about the capital, and those courtiers colluded with the palace to force the palace, didn't you know about it before, or did you also join them and want to force me?"

Yan Xu knew the inside story of this question, but what could he do.

The guards around Cui Ming have always been in Wang Qin's hands, and most of the internal and external marquis in his hands are out of his control, and he has no chance to contact Wang Qin at all.

Moreover, Yan Xu also roughly guessed who was the initiator of this matter, except for Li Hao, there was no one else who could order the Wang Kun brothers.

Among the old emperors who are about to go offline, and the new emperors who are about to go online, Yan Xu has not fallen into the ground, he is already thinking about the feelings of the monarch and ministers, after all, he also has family relatives behind him.

Therefore, in the face of Cui Ming's questioning, Yan Xu could only continue to plead guilty: "Your Majesty is in the middle of the micro-end, and the ministers can't repay even if they are broken, how dare they do such a rebellious act.

It's just that the minister's ability is limited, causing turmoil in the capital and failing to bear the holy trust, and your majesty is willing to punish the minister no matter what crime he compensates with."

Seeing Yan Xu's appearance, Cui Ming's context of this matter became clearer.

In fact, when Wang Kun jumped back before, Cui Ming had already guessed something in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

Now that I see Yan Xu's confession of guilt and dare not defend himself, I don't want to confirm it anymore, I am deceiving myself.

Because the person who can make Wang Kun obedient and make Yan Xu afraid of this, who else can there be besides his own prince who has made outstanding achievements.

And when he was in the forbidden army camp before, he was thinking about Zhang Han in the East Palace, and he was still pregnant with a child.

Cui Ming and Wang Yi were afraid that something would go wrong, so they asked Wang Qin to send someone to escort them.

As a result, Wang Qin replied that he had strengthened patrols around the East Palace, and there was no problem with safety.

Instead, if you want to get out of the East Palace and walk all the way out of the streets, the danger will be higher.

Cui Ming really believed it then, and now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that he will use her as a bargaining chip.

Cui Ming only felt physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and slowly sat back in the chair before letting out a long sigh.

"I don't embarrass you, just tell me if the prince is no longer in Qidu."

Yan Xu replied, "Among the internal and external marquis, the number of people that can be mobilized by the ministers is already very small, and it is only limited to the Su Kingdom.

Therefore, regarding the movements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister really does not know."

Cui Ming originally thought that Yan Xu chose to take the initiative to obey Li Hao's orders, but he didn't expect that he would be set aside.

He immediately asked, "What, you can't even adjust your subordinates now."

This is really embarrassing, after all, he is a good marquis, and now he can't even transfer his subordinates, it's just a joke.

Therefore, in the face of Cui Ming's questioning, Yan Xu could only repeat: "The minister is derelict in his duties."

Cui Ming thought about it himself, and said with a smile: "Okay, this son of mine is really powerful, under my nose, he has won over all the guards I rely on the most."

Originally, Cui Ming was expecting to be able to use Hou Guan to turn the tables, but now he doesn't even have this basic plate.

After being disappointed in his heart, he said to Yan Xu: "Go home, get ready to hand over the marquis completely, we are a monarch after all, and Zheng will ensure that you are fine."

In Cui Ming's view, attitude is more important than ability, as long as it is not a matter of attitude, he is willing to help, even if it is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister.

Yan Xu didn't expect that in the end, Cui Ming would say this

, I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you for Your Majesty's great kindness, in the future, I am afraid that I will never be able to see Tianyan again, and please take care of your body."

Then, under Cui Ming's gaze, Yan Xu got up and slowly retreated, and when he retreated to the door.

Yan Xu couldn't help it after all, stopped, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, looking at His Royal Highness the Prince's actions, after all, he still cares about the father-son relationship with His Majesty.

If Your Majesty is willing to take a step back, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely remember His Majesty's kindness, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ability is also worthy of the prosperity of my Dasu.

The next day, if there is a day when I unify the Central Plains, Your Majesty's righteous deeds will also go down in history and be admired by all the people in future generations."

Cui Ming didn't know whether he heard it or not, but waved his hand: "I know, you can go down with peace of mind."

After Yan Xu left, Cui Ming sat alone in his chair until nightfall.

After listening to the whole process in the palace, Hu Neijian understood the pain in Cui Ming's heart, so he didn't dare to disturb.

But just sitting all the time, not eating or drinking, it's not a thing, it hurts the body.

He could only speak, "Your Majesty, the slave knows that you are uncomfortable, but this dragon body matters.

Dinner has been delivered to this dining room, so you can eat some more."

Cui Ming really didn't have an appetite, but asked, "Let them take it down, I don't want to eat it, you ask someone to bring the fold that was sent today, I want to see it."

Hu Neijian knew that today's excerpts, except for Cui Ming, there would be no other content, where would he dare to let Cui Ming see it.

Immediately persuaded and said: "Now that it is almost time, there is no urgency in this fold, Your Majesty does not need to be in a hurry, it is better to take the dragon body as the priority.

And the slave has the courage to say that all of this is just speculation now, and it may not be His Highness's original intention.

It's better to ask the queen to write a letter and summon Her Highness back to make it clear."

Cui Ming took a deep breath: "It's time to have a good talk, but I'm still on this throne, and I still have to make this edict."

After speaking, he asked Hu Neijian to grind, and wrote an edict calling Li Hao back to the capital, and let people pass it out.

After writing it, Cui Ming asked Hu Neijian to arrange that he would rest in the dormitory, and he didn't plan to summon the concubines over.

In the past few days before Li Hao came back, Cui Ming planned to recuperate well, so that he could have enough energy to deal with it during the formal conversation.

Regarding today's incident, Cui Ming issued a gag order, telling Hu Neijian not to spread it.

But Hu Neijian considered that if the two really had a dispute, someone had to be able to turn around.

The queen is the only one in this palace who can do this, so in the middle of the night, Hu Neijian put Cui Ming to sleep, and sneaked out of the palace to meet Zhengyang Palace.

Wang Yi had already fallen asleep, but when he heard that Hu Neijian came alone late at night, saying that there was a big event to report, he got up again and groomed and let him in.

At first, Wang Yi was still a little sleepy, but after listening to Hu Neijian's description, the whole person was sober.

Of course, she didn't believe Hu Neijian's words at the first time, but after sending him away first, she sent someone to find Wang Qin to confirm.

"I heard that these courtiers outside who attacked His Majesty were instigated by the crown prince behind his back, is this true?"

When Wang Qin was called, he had already thought of it in his heart, but this mystery could not be revealed by him.

Therefore, even if everyone knew it, he could not admit it.

"Who made this rumor in front of you, Your Highness is now thousands of miles away in Qidi, how can you point to the courtiers?"

Wang Yi was not so easy to fool, and then said, "Today I am not asking in the name of the queen, but in the name of your sister, and answer me, whether this matter was done by the prince."

The power of these words was obviously strengthened, and Wang Qin had no choice but to be ambiguous and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never given such an order, and what the courtiers do is what they think and think, what do they have to do with outsiders."

Wang Yi said, "Since the prince is not married

If you don't give an order, then I will ask you to immediately send troops to arrest all those rebellious ministers who want to force the palace."

Wang Qin replied: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Niangniang does not have the power to mobilize the forbidden army, and now the capital has just suffered a military rebellion, and the fear in the hearts of the courtiers and the people has not yet dissipated.

If I do it again now, I'm afraid this meeting will be even worse."

Wang Yi didn't intend to give up, and then said, "This palace doesn't have this power, so what about Your Majesty, I'll go and ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to remove the commander of the forbidden army, and then you will not obey the edict."

According to Li Hao's order to them, unless it is a last resort, it is best to deal with the contradictions in harmony in secret, rather than on the surface.

Fortunately, Cui Ming obviously planned to do the same, and he didn't completely lose his mind, so Wang Qin couldn't let Wang Yi make trouble.

Otherwise, if this edict comes down, whether you want to abide by it or not, but the power of the forbidden army will definitely not be handed over, so there is only one way to disobey the order, which is obviously not in your own interests.

So Wang Qin could only say: "Your Majesty has announced that His Royal Highness has returned to the capital, presumably the prince will be there soon, and if you have any questions, Niangniang may wish to ask the prince herself."

In fact, when Wang Qin said this, the meaning in his words was obvious.

Wang Yi got the answer, but there was a fire in his heart, but in the end Wang Yi endured it.

As the daughter of the Wang family, what her brother is doing now is helping her son, no matter what position she stands, she has no reason to object.

can only say: "Since you are involved in this matter, then the elder brother must be presiding over it outside the palace, I hope that before the prince returns, the courtiers can stop a little, this request is not difficult."

Wang Qin did not answer directly, but said, "I will send a message to my brother, but as for what my brother will do, I don't know."

Wang Yi knew that Wang Qin was telling the truth, so he didn't embarrass him anymore and let him go directly.

After that, Wang Yi announced to the public that because of the fact that the rebels were frightened and needed to recuperate, he directly closed the Zhengyang Palace, which can be regarded as pleading to Cui Ming from the other side.

After Cui Ming knew about this, the first thing he thought of was that Wang Yi knew the truth, and immediately called Hu Neijian over to scold.

But after scolding, even if this matter is over, the door that should be sealed is still sealed.

Li Hao, who was in Chenzhou, soon received the content of Cui Ming's edict calling him back to the capital from Jinyiwei's flying pigeons.

It's just that this act has to be performed in full, and it can't be that just two days after the edict came out, it returned to the capital, which is too fake.

After all, the vast majority of people don't know the inside story, and they still need to be fooled.

As for the words from the front and back feet of the edict, Li Hao also gave instructions again about Wang Yi.

Wang Yi's face still has to be given, and the pressure on the court can be reduced, but among the courtiers and the people, the united front work is still firmly implemented.

As for the rest of the days, Li Hao is not so idle, but always paying attention to the movements in the north.

Li Falcon still kept his agreement with Zheng Zhuo, and the day before Zheng Zhuo raised his troops, he mobilized the border army and began to march towards Suguo.

It's just that what Li Falcon didn't expect was that Zheng Zhuo's defeat would come so quickly that there was no real war here on the border.

After a small friction just now, Li Falcon got the news that Zheng Zhuo had failed and was captured.

Li Falcon was really angry in the palace that day, and cursed Zheng Zhuo in the open space for an unknown number of times.

After all, what he said at the beginning was so good, he thought that even if he couldn't succeed, he could create some trouble for Li Hao.

You must know that the transfer of soldiers and horses costs money, and in order to put pressure on the northern border army of the host country, he has mobilized tens of thousands of troops, and now all this money is wasted.

As for going to war directly, Li Falcon didn't have this idea, after all, if he was really sure that he could win, he would have fought a long time ago.

Therefore, after learning the news, Li Falcon let the soldiers and horses disband and return to their respective stations.

And here in the capital, Li Falcon immediately summoned the envoys of the Su Kingdom who stayed there.

Since Li Hao can't fall down, then this

The matter of choosing a side concubine for Li Hao needs to be taken seriously.

As a result, when Li Falcon learned from Gu Fuchuan's mouth that Su Guo had actually set a candidate, and he was also the county lord of Jinming, the whole person was stunned.

Then he said, "Your envoy may not know that the county lord of Jinming has a marriage contract, and I have promised her to marry the Marquis of Changqing? Let's choose another person!"

Gu Fuchuan replied: "Your Majesty said that the matter of marriage, the lower officials don't seem to have heard of a clear decree.

Moreover, the lower officials have also inquired, and the Marquis of Changqing and the Chuguo Mansion have not yet made a written ceremony, so the marriage contract has not been concluded.

Besides, the candidate for this marriage was personally chosen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and our courtiers only have the principle of doing things wholeheartedly, so how dare they change it."

Li Falcon grasped the point: "The prince of your country has never met the county lord of Jinming, how did you decide on this candidate?"

Gu Fuchuan replied, "This is not something that the lower officials can know, we just follow orders."

Li Falcon was already suspicious of Chu Yuan, so naturally he didn't want Chu Yuan to have anything to do with Su Guo.

Moreover, Li Hao also has doubts about the dignitaries named by Li Hao.

Then he said, "After all, this matter involves the Chu Guo Gong's family, I have to ask the Chu Guo Gong what he means first, and your envoy will go back to the Siyi Pavilion first."

After speaking, he directly asked his eunuchs to ask Gu Fuchuan to leave, and then summoned Deng Hui into the palace and asked him to investigate the matter.
