When the first rays of sunlight finally shine through the clouds, on the magnificent palace, the Rui beast squatting on the eaves bathes in the morning light, it seems to be shining through the light, it looks down on the national capital Chang'an, and the more than 100 miles of square that is neatly planned by the square wall avenue is so full of vitality and prosperity, it seems that it is completely unaware of this deep forbidden, and a cruel struggle for the ownership of imperial power has quietly unfolded.

And in the Hanxiang Palace, in the end, because of the tense emotions of several days and the grief of losing her only son, the Queen Mother, who is already over half a hundred years old, finally couldn't resist the tiredness after successfully mastering the Zichen Palace, and took advantage of the fact that the Son of Heaven was asleep and the light of day was getting brighter and brighter.

"How is He Ye now?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Since being confined in the dormitory, I have been sitting still, and it is indeed unusual for King Jin to be so quiet this time, so according to the old slave's opinion, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots just in case." Although Dou Fu'an was allowed to sit down, he was still slightly bowing at this time, but his advice did not beat around the bush: "After all...... Although Xue Xuanzhi and Liu Shiniang confessed consistently, it cannot be ruled out that the two had colluded in private. ”

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows, quite undecided: "Combined with everyone's testimony, Xue Xuanzhi and Eleven Niang should not have the opportunity to collude, I know that you have always suspected that Jing Zhaoliu is disloyal, and the Xue family is even more suspicious, but how many secret investigations and temptations over the years have not shown the slightest clue, no matter how domineering He Ye is, I can still trust his respect for Yan'er, he is so obedient this time, I think it is also because of Yan'er's entrustment, but your advice is also reasonable, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the most straightforward." ”

Merely......

The Queen Mother shook her head again: "He Ye has been banned now, he is not afraid, let me worry about the rest of the clan, don't look at the King of Nanyang who has not asked about government affairs all these years, but he is still dedicated to the internal affairs entrusted by the first emperor to the imperial family, if He Ye dies at this time, I am afraid that the King of Nanyang will be the first to question it...... Last night, the soldiers forced the Zichen Palace, if He Ye came forward to resist, I could have beheaded him for the crime of conspiracy, but if this situation really happened, the rest of the sect would also hold on to the palace, after all, the matter of mobilizing the forbidden army was too sensitive, although the news could be temporarily blocked, but it was only temporary. ”

Although the Xiaowei Erlang general has been subdued, the Queen Mother does not dare to guarantee that the more than 1,000 leopard cavalry soldiers are all loyal and brave, and now they are trapped in the forbidden camp, which can temporarily prevent the news from leaking, but the Xiaowei soldiers are all noble children, and it is impossible for the Queen Mother to trap them for a long time, let alone kill them, so isn't it announced that she is launching a coup d'état? The clan is not satisfied, Kyoto is in chaos, and it is difficult to guarantee that the guards in various places have no ambition to seize the throne, not to mention that there is a self-proclaimed king in the northeast, Pan Bo, who is eyeing him, and is waiting for the chaos in the Great Zhou to raise troops to attack.

"At the moment, the key is still in the saint, I only pray that he will wake up as soon as possible, and announce in public that He Er will be appointed as the prince, so that the clans will have nothing to say, and when the situation is settled, it will be more appropriate to remove He Ye to prevent future troubles."

Seeing that the Queen Mother had already made up her mind, Dou Fuan no longer insisted, and expressed his admiration with the sentence "The Queen Mother is Shengming".

But at this moment, Wei Yuanping suddenly asked to see him, and presented the hidden book that had been thrown all over the east and west cities overnight.

Obviously everything is going well, and everything is under control, who would have thought that such a change would happen?!

"How the hell did the wind go?!" The Queen Mother asked sharply.

Dou Fu'an was also shocked by this accident, and he knelt on the ground but was speechless.

Wei Yuanping was also taken aback when he heard this question: "Queen Mother, do you ...... The Holy One is really ......"

The Queen Mother gasped several times before she could hold back her anger, and glanced at her brother: "The situation is urgent, and I don't have time to inform my brother that he ...... the saint."

finally gave Wei Daxiangguo a concise and concise understanding of what had happened in the past few days, but the Queen Mother became more and more confused in her heart.

Since the incident, all the people who have learned that the Son of Heaven is in danger have been trapped in the forbidden place, and even the eunuchs in the palace have not let go of the palace, and the only outsiders who have learned the hidden situation are Xue Xuanzhi and Eleven Niang, in addition to these two are the Yichuan couple, the latter only learned that the Son of Heaven was seriously ill when he was ordered to see him yesterday, and he has been trapped in the Hanxiang Hall and is not allowed to go out, Xue Xuanzhi and Eleven Niang have not even taken a step out of the Zichen Palace, and it is impossible for them to disclose the news.

So how did the rumors leak out? Who is slandering with bad intentions?!

The Queen Mother quickly sifted the people involved in the case in her mind several times, but she didn't know the essentials at all, so she had to let it go for the time being, and explained to Dou Fu'an: "Quickly investigate, we must find out who among the princes of the clan has any changes...... Wait, since this matter can't be hidden, in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, an edict was issued to the government hall to urgently discuss the policy, so that Tong Zi'an must ban Chang'an City! ”

Dou Fu'an and Wei Yuanping immediately went their separate ways, and when the emergency political discussion of Xie Raoping, Mao Wei and others had just ended, Dou Fu'an had already noticed some eyebrows, and immediately went to the Queen Mother: "The King of Ruyang visited the Nanyang Palace this morning, but a few days ago, the King of Nanyang took the princess to Wentang Villa, and the King of Ruyang pounced...... The old slave inserted an inside line in the Ruyang Palace, and the King of Ruyang actually knew yesterday that the King of Yichuan was edicted to enter the palace, and he should have installed an internal response in the Yichuan Palace, and another ...... There is a famous steward in the Ruyang Palace, who has not returned to the house after going out yesterday, but he has disappeared. ”

"He Qi......" The Queen Mother frowned and sneered: "I knew that he was ambitious, but I didn't expect him to have this means, and he actually had the ability to spy on the forbidden area!" ”

"The Queen Mother is suspected of leaking the news in the forbidden room, this is ......" Dou Fuan really didn't believe that he would make a mistake.

"Many medical officers in the Imperial Medical Department know that the saint has long been seriously ill, maybe one of them has already been bought by He Qi, otherwise how could He Qi think of installing his eyes and ears in the Yichuan Palace? The saint coughs up blood and faints, and the forbidden interior is strictly guarded, and it is impossible to leak the news, unless someone has already plotted against him, and he expects that the saint dragon's body is worried, and he is ready to go ahead! And among the many princes of the clan, only He Qi made a move, and the person in charge who disappeared in his mansion inexplicably may have been killed by unintentionally hearing about the secret! Wait and see, when I convene the clan to agree on the prince, there will always be someone who shows his feet! ”

The Queen Mother sneered again and again: "He Qi, he is really bold...... I dared to spread the word that the Son of Heaven had died and the King of Jin had been killed, thinking that I was bound to cut He Ye to the roots, but Unexpectedly, He Ye was unscathed, and I will see how he questioned my usurpation of power! ”

On the twenty-eighth day of the sixth year of the new year, only two short days from the first day of the new year, many people took advantage of the sunny day after the snow, and rushed to the west market, busy at the end of the year, all thinking of saving money to add a few new clothes to the women and children at home, and preparing some New Year's goods to celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival.

Seeing that the new year is approaching, the market is closed!

Everyone was talking about it, the congestion was not dispersed, and they wanted to wait for the government to explain a convincing reason.

However, there were also guards dressed in iron armor and swords hanging from their waists, declaring that the ban was strict in all squares, and that no matter the officials and the people, the nobles and the lowly were allowed to enter and leave the ban, and those who violated the rules would be executed for rebellion, and they would not be spared.

For a while, people were panicked, and all kinds of speculations continued, but there were always old people, because they had experienced the death of Suzong and Dezong, and concluded that they were only afraid that they would be seriously ill and incurable.

"This New Year, I'm afraid it's not comfortable...... I just hope that there will be no more coup d'état and chaos, implicating innocent people and losing their lives. The crane-haired old man stroked his beard and sighed, kneeling down and praying for God's protection.

And in the evening of this day, He Qi, the king of Ruyang, who was anxious because of the ban, finally looked forward to the palace edict, although it was unpredictable, he was full of confidence, and stepped into the palace with the eunuch with his head held high.

I am destined for heaven, why should I be afraid of a Webster woman? As for his cousin's infant child, He Qi was even more dismissive.

No matter how rampant Wei is, he doesn't dare to kill the princes of the clan, He Ye is unlucky, people have become turtles in the urn in the forbidden, and he is a guy who hates ghosts, even if he dies, no one will feel sorry for him, and it is impossible for anyone to recommend him to inherit the unification, which is better than his dignified Ruyang King, the corporal has always been virtuous and noble, and everyone will respond to each other when he raises his arms and shouts, as long as he grasps the handle of Wei's attempt to kill the King of Jin and usurp the government, the princes of the clans will inevitably respond to the question, punish Wei, and establish themselves as kings.
