It was night, and there were dark clouds in the sky.

In the Deqing Palace, Yun Zhi knelt at Jiang Churan's feet and arranged her skirt, and the slim clothes were compatible with the night and hid secrets. Three thousand green silks, only one hosta is obliquely inserted in the hair.

"Your Majesty, the chief manager has prepared the carriage and is ready to leave the palace." Yun Zhi picked up the robe from the smokebasket and draped it over her.

Jiang Churan nodded, she turned her head to look out the window, the courtyard of Deqing Palace was faintly bright, and there was no false pretense in other places: "Let Yinxi guard in the hall, don't put out the candle." ”

"Yes."

Changming set up the car, Yun Zhi helped Jiang Churan to get into the carriage first, and then he followed, and when the two of them sat down, Yun Zhi said to the outside: "Let's go." ”

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, it was taken down by the guards on the high gate, and the leader saw that it was Changming, and nodded hurriedly: "Chief manager, why did you leave the palace at this time?" ”

Changming was silent, he took out the token given by Jiang Churan from his sleeve, and the person who came looked at it, and looked at the carriage behind Changming with some embarrassment.

"This, the chief manager also knows the rules of the palace, you can go out, but this carriage has to be checked."

Without waiting for Changming to speak, her white hand stretched out, holding the emperor's jade pendant in her hand, and the guards immediately knelt down after seeing the object in her hand.

Yun Zhi's voice came out from inside: "Your Majesty ordered me to look for Dai Ning Lou's wine-brewed balls, I didn't want to take out this jade pendant, but the adults didn't let me go." ”

"Aunt Yun forgive your sins, you take care of it, treat it more." The head of the people is going to come down, and the food in the palace is tightly controlled, and now he wants to quietly eat a wine-brewed balls and is stopped by his people, if this matter spreads, it is estimated that his head will have to move.

"Master Gu, I may be leaving?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

After being released, Changming put away his hand and drove out of the palace.

In the carriage, Yun Zhi presented the jade pendant to Jiang Churan again, Jiang Churan looked indifferent, and hung it on the sash casually after taking it.

The carriage finally stopped at the back door of Jingyue Tower, and the shopkeeper of Jingyue Tower, Zhong Buli, was waiting here earlier, Yun Zhi helped Jiang Churan down, she walked in front of Jiang Churan, and Changming followed behind Jiang Churan.

While walking towards the building, Zhong Buli spoke: "The people Your Majesty is looking for are all in the dark pavilion on the third floor." ”

Jiang Churan nodded, she looked inside Jingyue Building, and when she reached the third floor, she said, "Shopkeeper Zhong, it's too public." ”

Yun Zhi pushed open the door of the dark pavilion, Jiang Churan didn't say anything more, she walked in calmly.

The pavilion was very large, and as soon as Jiang Churan walked in, the people inside knelt down: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty." “

Jiang Churan walked through them and sat down on the main seat: "You don't have to be polite. ”

She looked closely, and there were more than forty people standing in front of her, uniformly dressed: black robes, gold silk masks, and only a pair of eyes were outside.

"Take a seat."

In the past few days, she has read the resumes of these people, loyal and easy to use.

Jiang Churan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You are all my backbone's ministers, and it was too sudden to gather you together today, and I was abrupt. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Majesty is honored to be here, it's a blessing for me." One of them said, and the others looked at the man with gratitude, and they had one thing in common besides loyalty: stupidity.

Jiang Churan smiled even more, she loosened the robe on her body, her neck leaked more, and the peach blossom on the left side was completely displayed.

"I have gathered you together today to learn about one thing in the thirteenth year of Zhenning."

In the thirteenth year of Zhenning, in the thirteenth year of Zhenning, a lot happened in that year, and the person who spoke just now asked, "I wonder what Your Majesty wants to know?" The ministers must know everything. ”

Jiang Churan nodded approvingly: "In the middle of June of the thirteenth year of Zhenning, do you have anything to say about my assassination?" ”

This...... Five years ago, there was a deathly silence in the cabinet.

"Why, you have nothing to say?" Jiang Churan glanced around, and no one stepped forward to say one or two.

"That I said, in addition to recruiting and training forbidden troops in the capital, you are also the secret guards of the palace, responsible for the security of the emperor, Deqing Palace, prince, and Spring Palace......" She paused, Jiang Churan couldn't see everyone's expressions, but she could see the weakness in their eyes.

"The emperor's assassination is over." Every word she said was extremely soft, but it was like a thunder explosion in the ears of these forty people.

Yun Zhi's forehead couldn't help but have a thin layer of sweat, feeling the low pressure in the pavilion, Jiang Churan chuckled: "Of course, I don't want to take your fault, it's just that since then, I have often been haunted by nightmares, and an assassin was able to sneak into the palace and know my whereabouts......"

Jiang Churan didn't say anything, the meaning of her words was very obvious.

These people can know with their brains that the emperor suspects that someone in the forbidden army has rebelled.

One of them boldly asked, "What does Your Majesty need to do with your ministers?" ”

Jiang Churan looked at everyone, his eyes burning: "I think you should pay close attention to the whereabouts of the people under your hands, whether that person is there or not, things have already happened, and it is impossible not to leave traces." ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Chang Ming to the side, Chang Ming understood, he stepped forward and opened the box in his hand, and Yun Zhi distributed the contents to everyone.

"This is the Fire Fox Blood Jade, which can be regarded as an official meeting gift between me and you."

This treasure that I have heard of in rumors, the emperor actually gave it away as a meeting gift, things are secondary, and the important thing is that this represents the king's weight.

"Your Majesty, thank you."

Jiang Churan said a few more polite words to everyone, and then he was tired: "I shouldn't leave the palace for too long, Zhu Aiqing should retreat." ”

……

Changming drove back to Deqing Palace, Jiang Churan in the carriage didn't resist the sleepiness after all, and fell asleep in the carriage, and when Changming stopped the carriage, Yun Zhi called her softly, but Jiang Churan had already fallen asleep and did not respond.

"Your Majesty, the slave is offended." After speaking, he hugged the little emperor leaning on the inner wall in his arms, got out of the carriage steadily, and walked towards Deqing Palace.

Yin Xi was guarding the door of the main hall, and when she saw Yun Zhi, she was about to speak, and when she saw the little emperor in her arms, she was silent.

The black clouds receded, and the clear light of the Xuan Candle shone on the cloud branches, and Yin Xi could only see the king like a goddess, peeping at the Holy Lord with his eyes, and he was pitiful and did not dare to speak.

By the time she had placed Jiang Churan out, there were few lights in the entire imperial city, and the entire harem was dark.

She looked at Yinxi: "The harem has been deserted for a long time. ”

Yin Xi looked up at Mingyue: "Yes, after the first emperor left, only His Majesty was left in the entire harem." ”

"Well, when Your Majesty grows up a little more, find some queens, and it should be more lively after filling the harem."

Yin Xi didn't answer, he thought His Majesty was so terrible now, what about when he grew up? It's good if you don't grow up, and you won't look for a descendant.

In the dead of night, there was still a light on in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yao Pu lay on the case, carefully looking at the case files transferred from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, there were more and more candles and tears, and the sound of leakage was broken, he leaned on the Taishi chair tiredly, and pressed his temples with his slender fingers.

After a long time, he stood up and walked towards the bed, and when he passed by the statue of the saint he enshrined, Yao Pu paused, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally knelt on the futon.

What can the minister of a country ask for when he kneels down to the sages and sages......
