The sky was dark, and the rain was gradually subsiding.

Outside Pingkangfang, a whole team of Jin Wuwei appeared outside Qinxiangyuan, standing three meters outside the gate of Qinxiangyuan, holding a long lance in his hand, lined up in a row, his face was cold.

In front of Qinxiangyuan, Jin Wuwei directly occupied half of the long street, blocking all the roads in and out of Qinxiangyuan.

He Qiniang slowly walked out from the rear, walked in front of the group of Jin Wuwei, and then knelt down to Qin Xiangyuan, looking at the gate in front of her with sorrowful eyes, but inside the gate, although countless eyes fell on her at this moment, there was still no movement.

Across the street on the east side of Qinxiangyuan, a black-framed carriage stopped there silently.

Li Xuan sat in the carriage opposite, looking at the luxurious Qinxiangyuan opposite with cold eyes.

The White Eagle has been sent to the Thousand Cow Prison by him, and now he is missing this Qinxiang Garden.

Qin Ming sat opposite Li Xuan, dressed in blue clothes and gold armor, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Li Xuan with a little worry and asked, "Do you really want to do it?" ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly: "Of course, but you have to wait?" ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

"Will." Li Xuan raised his head, looked through the car window, looked in the direction of the Daming Palace in the distance, and said softly: "I have already gone to ask for a decree." ”

……

Daming Palace, outside the Zichen Palace.

Zhao Gong stood with his hands tied with a cold face, and the green tendons jumped out from time to time, but quickly calmed down again, and the tension and solemnity in his eyes were clearly visible.

A Tsing Yi attendant walked out of the inner hall quickly, glanced at Zhao Gong, then looked up into the distance, and shouted loudly: "The queen of heaven has an order, and Zhao Gong, the doctor of Xuan Chaosan, will meet you." ”

Zhao Gong immediately bowed his hand and saluted: "Minister Zhao Gong leads the order." ”

The moment he lowered his head, all the expressions on Zhao Gong's face disappeared, and he raised his head again, his face was already solemn and frightened.

Zhao Gong was dressed in a crimson official robe, with two cyan jade hanging around his waist, raising his head and stepping, walking unhurriedly, and every step was like a measured rule.

In the solemn Zichen Palace, countless candles have been lit at this moment.

Zhao Gong stepped forward and stood in the center of the main hall, without looking up, and directly arched his hand to the Empress Wu who was sitting behind the imperial case: "Doctor Zhao Chaosan, Zhao Gong, the commander of the secret guard, meet the Queen of Heaven, and the Queen of Heaven is safe." ”

After the imperial case, Empress Wu was reviewing the chapter, Zhao Gong came in, she didn't raise her head at all, and asked directly: "What's the matter?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, just half an hour ago, Zhou Zhi was assassinated by the deputy pavilion master of the Vientiane Pavilion, Bai Ying." As soon as Zhao Gong's words fell, the Empress Wu after the imperial case had already raised her head, with a trace of doubt on her face.

Zhao Gong hurriedly continued: "After returning to the heavens, it happened that the king of Nanchang was passing by, and finally defeated the white eagle and killed it. ”

After the imperial case, Empress Wu frowned, put down the jade tube pen in her hand, and sighed softly: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, it was Zhou Zhi who secretly communicated with Tubo in the middle of the matter, and through the hands of Vientiane Pavilion, he resold the details of my western line to Tubo, but was recognized by the king of Nanchang early." Zhao Gong said, took out a book from his sleeve, and handed it forward slightly.

The attendant on the side hurriedly came down, took the concerto, and finally handed it to the Empress Wu.

Empress Wu opened the chapter and said at the same time, "You continue." ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Gong hurriedly gave up his hand, and said at the same time: "After returning to the heavens, after the king of Nanchang strangled the Ming An of the Vientiane Pavilion a few days ago, he set his sights on Zhou Zhi, but because there was no evidence, he had been secretly monitoring the periphery, and half an hour ago, Zhou Zhi traded with the white eagle after leaving Qujiang Pond and was captured by the king of Nanchang on the spot. ”

Empress Wu nodded slightly, and said lightly: "This matter has been played by Ming Qing before. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gong bowed down and continued: "But today, when the battle was fought, the White Eagle used the Vientiane Secret Method to substitute for Zhou Zhi, and finally Zhou Zhi was injured by the White Eagle and died of serious injuries, but the White Eagle has been captured alive!" ”

"Oh?" Empress Wu raised her head suddenly, looked at Zhao Gong with a surprised face, shook her head slightly, and said: "This palace has always thought that the king of Nanchang has always been either dead or injured, rare, rare, to be able to catch the mouth alive. ”

Zhao Gong immediately said in fear: "After returning to the heavens, it was the White Eagle who knew that it was impossible to escape, so he used means to cheat death, but he didn't know that he had already been recognized by the King of Nanchang and easily taken down, and now he has been locked in the Thousand Cow Prison, and when he wakes up, he will strictly investigate the secrets of the Vientiane Pavilion." ”

"Well, good job!" Empress Wu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's the captain Chi Xunyu who called the right guard of the East Palace, and the edict was passed on, and the right guard of the prince Chi Xunyu was promoted to lead Sima." ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Gong immediately gave up his hand solemnly, how could the Queen of Heaven not know about such a big matter as the transfer of troops in the East Palace.

After reading the chapter, Empress Wu put it aside, and then looked up at Zhao Gong: "This matter, just report to Qianniuwei and Dali Temple to deal with it, why did you come to the palace in such a hurry, what is the specific matter?" ”

"Diva Insight!" Zhao Gong bowed slightly, and then said cautiously: "Queen of Heaven, the king of Nanchang also found a female ...... in the carriage where Zhou Zhi and the White Eagle were captured Envoy? ”

"Envoy?" Empress Wu suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Gong with a face full of disbelief.

Zhao Gong immediately gave up his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, her person is He Qiniang, a prostitute from Qinxiangyuan in Pingkangfang, but in fact, her real identity is He Miao, the criminal daughter of the Court Bureau, and her father is the daughter of He Yang, the champion of the fourth year of Xianqing. ”

As soon as Shangguan Yi's name came out, behind the curtain on the right side, a thirty-year-old female official raised her head suddenly, but then quickly lowered her head.

……

Empress Wu's brows furrowed stiffly, and her right fist couldn't help but clench: "Xianqing's four-year list, Lin De's first year is no more than six grades." ”

Zhao Gong arched his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, it is from the six products of the work Zuolang, at that time, He Yang is about to move to the right to the general affairs of the people." ”

"How can a writer Zuo Lang be qualified to collude with the prime minister, and he is also a deposed prince." A trace of disgust flashed in Empress Wu's eyes.

Of course, let alone He Yang back then, even Shangguan Yi was framed.

And the one who framed Shangguanyi for conspiring against Li Zhong, the abolished prince of traffic, was the Empress Wu in front of her.

It's just that although everyone knows that Shangguanyi's incident is wronged, everyone also knows that Shangguanyi's death is not unjust.

Empress Wu shook her head, shook off the thoughts in her head, and then snorted disdainfully: "Heh, it's really a good means, through the court dispute, framing colleagues, and then putting his daughter into the bed...... Wait, how did the sinner girl of the court bureau become a prostitute in Qinxiangyuan, and how could she be sent to ...... Someone came, and passed on the young eunuch Xu Zhong. ”

"Whoa!" The attendant on one side immediately bowed down in the cold cheer of the Empress Wu, and then trotted quickly towards the outside of the hall.

Empress Wu Tie looked at Zhao Gong with a blue face and said, "You continue." ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Gong bowed down and continued: "The prostitute He Miao confessed that Zhou Zhi often had private meetings with others in Qinxiangyuan, often commented on the government, vented his dissatisfaction, slandered the emperor and queen, and conspired ......"

With a "bang", the countless pieces on the imperial case were slammed to the ground, and the Empress Wu gritted her teeth and said, "What did you say?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, the subordinates gave Zhou Zhi in the matter, Cui Fan, the middle scholar, Hu Zai, the prince, and Zheng Fan, the secretary and young eunuch, often had private meetings together, commented on the government and politics, and from time to time there were rebellious words...... Here's a wonderful confession, please preview it from the queen of heaven. Zhao Gong immediately took out a piece of offering paper from his sleeve again and handed it over.

The chamberlain on the side carefully delivered the paper to the Empress Wu.

Empress Wu took a cursory look, and when she saw the words on it, the paper in her hand was immediately tightly clenched.

Zhao Gong immediately continued: "Because the matter involves the palace, the king of Nanchang asked for the performance, is it Qianniuwei who uses the assassination to investigate Qinxiangyuan, or is it handed over to the internal guards for review?" ”

The internal guards rarely leave the palace, but the illegal things in the palace have always been investigated by the internal guards.

"Let the internal guard check something, don't you think this matter is messy enough?" Empress Wu glanced at Zhao Gong angrily, then took a deep breath, calmed down, and then chuckled lightly and said, "It's the King of Nanchang who wants to check Qin Xiangyuan, right?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, the king of Nanchang heard that there were often ministers in Qinxiang Yuan who secretly met secretly, coerced prostitutes, discussed the government in vain, and slandered the emperor and queen...... He was extremely angry in his heart, the people had already rushed to Pingkangfang, but he was afraid that the matter would involve the palace, so he didn't rush in......"

"There's nothing to do, if he wants to investigate, let him investigate it well, and turn out all the filth in this palace to the palace, and all the officials involved will be arrested and sent to prison." Empress Wu gritted her teeth, the anger in her heart was already a little indescribable.

The people in the palace sent the sinners of the court bureau out of the palace to be prostitutes, and the Qinxiang Garden, which was secretly established, became a secret place used by some people to slander themselves, but it was limited to a special location, and the words of those people were almost unknown.

Empress Wu felt that her face was flushed by someone who had been beaten.

It must be investigated, it must be investigated fiercely, and if it is not investigated, how can we know how arrogant those people are.

"Obey." Zhao Gong breathed a sigh of relief, this matter is finally coming to an end.

At this moment, an inner servant came in and carefully whispered: "Queen of Heaven, the young eunuch Xu Zhong has arrived." ”

Empress Wu raised her head and looked at Zhao Gong.

Zhao Gong immediately took out a pile of bloody bills of exchange and a wooden hairpin from his sleeve and handed them to the attendant on the side.

Empress Wu looked at the things in the hands of the inner servant, then sneered and said: "Zhao Qing, your sleeves are about to become a treasure bag, if there are any things in the future, take them all out directly, don't be the same for a while." ”

"It's the minister's lack of thought." Zhao Gong immediately surrendered his hand in fear, and then looked at the martial arts and began to open the bill of exchange and the wooden hairpin, Zhao Gong hurriedly said: "This is the 30,000 money exchange ticket that the Tubo people used to bribe and buy intelligence...... However, neither the minister nor the king of Nanchang have ever opened it, so it is inevitable that they will ......"

"What will it be, will it kill the wrong person?" Empress Wu raised her head and glanced at Zhao Gong, and said angrily: "Just look at it, you will know about these things sooner or later, and you will not sell these news to Tubo." ”

"Don't dare!"

Seeing Zhao Gong's overly cautious look, Empress Wu couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You, you are too cautious in doing things." ”

"Remember the teachings of the Queen of Heaven." Zhao Gong raised his head and looked at Empress Wu with a bitter face.

Empress Wu sighed lightly and waved her hand, and Zhao Gong immediately lowered his head.

Empress Wu opened the wooden hairpin and glanced at the words recorded on it, and then put it on one side casually.

Zhao Gong's raised gaze noticed this scene, and a trace of horror flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head.

Empress Wu flipped through the thirty pages one by one, each with a thousand blood bills, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "30,000 guan, 30,000 guan will sell the entire army on the Western Front, and one will sell his future just for 30,000 guan, you say it's strange." ”

Zhao Gong immediately surrendered his hand: "The Queen of Heaven, the minister asked for an order to investigate Tongyuanfang, and the people of Tubo can store 30,000 in Tongyuanfang and bribe the information in Zhou Zhi's hands, so there must be other money in it...... The queen of heaven, according to the law, rebels, and family property were confiscated into the court. ”

After taking a deep look at Zhao Gong, Empress Wu shook his head slightly, and said, "Just check what is related to Tubo, and you can't expand it at will." ”

"Whoa!"
