Now that the situation in the court is delicate, the ministers of civil and military affairs, who have always been separate, have come together, and they are all very concerned about the Lord Bai Songbai, who has never been in the early dynasty and has no official position.

There is no other reason, just from the recent emperor's attitude towards Bai Song.

First of all, he handed over the revision of the "History of the Tang Dynasty" to him, and recently rescued the queen from a desperate situation, and now he is relieved to let the queen live in the Beiding Palace.

With such trust, even if you look at history, it is estimated that you will not be able to find a second Bai Songlai.

The reason why the ministers of civil and military affairs could not sit still at all was the appointment of some new people after the spring of this year.

The members of this year's spring examination are all prioritized without exception, and they are placed in various departments inside and outside the court.

Although it is the duty to arrange the people selected in the imperial examination to be officials, the situation of this year's placement is particularly balanced, and it is a little strange because it is too balanced.

Many of the ministers present had private contact with these young literati, and some tried to coerce them into joining various forces, but they were surprisingly refused.

It's fine if it's one or two who refuse to win over, but it's a bit strange if everyone refuses unanimously.

But these candidates obeyed Zhang Liangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so some people suspected that everything was secretly operated by the Beiding Palace.

And these things can only be based on feelings, it is difficult to find out the exact evidence, the minister of civil and military affairs discussed privately, feeling that the Beiding palace is suspicious, and because the emperor's trust in the Beiding palace is not easy to say, he can only take this opportunity to let the emperor investigate.

said that it was to investigate the forces in the shadows of Chang'an City, maybe the emperor would be able to find out what Lord Bai had done in secret.

Before going to court today, the ministers of civil and military affairs had made preparations in private, and since Lord Wei Zheng had already started, the rest of the adults also echoed it.

Above the court, it is difficult for Zhang Liang to change the general trend by himself.

Li Shimin saw that the opinions in the court were so big, even if he didn't want to investigate, he had to make a show to plug the mouths of the military generals.

Therefore, after the dispersal of the dynasty, led by the secret edict division, a group of elites from the six ministries began to inspect the interior of Chang'an City.

……

There was an abnormal movement in the capital, which soon affected the Beiding Palace.

The county lord of Mingzhu received the news as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also brought back the information that some people had been arrested.

Bai Song was fine, but Zhang Liang came out of the palace and found Bai Song as soon as possible.

In the living room, Zhang Liang didn't have time to drink tea, so he hurriedly grabbed Bai Song and said: "The emperor temporarily decided to carry out a purge of the underground forces in Chang'an City, although it is not clear who is targeted, but the pressure from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty is obviously aimed at you. ”

Bai Song felt that this news was a bit sudden, but he didn't particularly care, nodded and said, "I know, I will ask my subordinates to be more careful later." ”

"In short, everything is based on stability, and I have already brought it, so I will leave first."

Zhang Liang didn't want to stay long, he still had a bunch of things to deal with.

As soon as Zhang Liang left, the lord of Mingzhu came with a maid.

"Husband, the concubine has just received news that Mo Zhu was arrested by the people of the imperial court."

"Mozhu was caught?" Bai Song was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Isn't she opening a bank?" How could she get caught? ”

"It seems that the person who came was prepared, knowing that Mozhu was a remnant of the Mo family, and he didn't give her a chance to explain at all, so he took the person away."

"Mozhu didn't resist?"

"Nope."

Bai Song breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, it seems that this Nizi is quite sensible and didn't come hard." Who was she arrested and where is she now? ”

"Someone watched as Mozhu was taken to the Imperial City under renovation."

Bai Song thought about it and didn't reply immediately.

The county lord of Mingzhu said again: "The husband should have made plans early, because Jian Thirteen heard that Mozhu was arrested and had already gone towards the imperial city. ”

"What?" Bai Song was taken aback, "You didn't say it earlier!" ”

Bai Song is secretly bad in his heart, Mo Zhu can be sensible and cooperate with the investigation, but what about Sword Thirteen?

This can be described as a rare kendo master in the world, with a proud temperament, and he is very good to Mozhu, like a brother and a father.

Now that he sees that Mo Zhu has been arrested, he doesn't care what reason the other party has, let alone whether he is from the court or not, he may kill someone if he doesn't say a word.

If someone dies, a simple matter will definitely become very complicated, even if Jian Thirteen is not afraid of the imperial court, it is a big deal to leave, but he can't leave Chang'an, and he will have to explain everywhere when the time comes.

Thinking about it, Bai Song couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly asked someone to get in a carriage and go to the imperial city.

But Bai Song was still late, and as soon as his carriage was halfway there, there was a scream from the direction of the imperial city, as if there was a battle at the gate of the imperial city, and the people nearby fled in all directions.

Bai Song saw that the situation was not good, so he stopped taking the car, jumped out of the carriage and rushed to the direction of the fight.

Smoke continued to rise from the gate of the imperial city, and in addition to the retreating people, there were also officers and soldiers walking in the opposite direction.

Just as Bai Song was praying that Sword Thirteen should pay attention to the scale, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the air above the imperial city!

Like a dark cloud covering the sky, turning an area outside the Imperial City from day to night, the scene is very strange and strange.

Bai Song stopped suddenly, watching the black shadow not far away continue to expand, making him feel a trace of fear.

If this breath is absent, it gives people a sense of cold oppression.

The coldness in the black shadow is different from the coldness in Bai Song's body.

The coldness in Bai Song's body was pure coldness, and the aura he was facing now was cold and weird.

Donghuang!

Bai Song knew why the battle broke out at the entrance of the imperial city.

It turned out that Jian Thirteen encountered the obstruction of the Eastern Emperor.

At first, Bai Song was afraid that Sword Thirteen would make too much noise, but now he was already worried about Sword Thirteen.

Bai Song is one of the people who knows the strength of Sword Thirteen the most, although Sword Thirteen's true qi is not strong, but the sword technique can make up for its shortcomings, and even ordinary grandmasters are not its opponents at all.

But you have to face the Eastern Emperor......

Obviously, Sword Thirteen's situation is even more dangerous.

Bai Song looked at the sky, countless sword lights flashed under the black shadow, and another round of battle between the two began.

Bai Song ran wildly again, and soon entered the space surrounded by black shadows.

As soon as he entered this black space, Bai Song realized that something was wrong, in this dark and misty world, people were instantly deprived of perception, there was no sound, no consciousness, and the only thing that could be used was vision.

The unknown people were lost and howled in terror, and struggled on the ground with their heads in their hands, but there was no sound.

Bai Song looked at his hand and pinched his face, not feeling anything.

At the entrance of the imperial city was a large open space square, and across a hundred meters, Bai Song could already see the two people fighting in mid-air.

However, Sword Thirteen's condition was not optimistic, he had used all his strength to keep attacking, but the Eastern Emperor on the opposite side was easily dodging and moving, without a trace of damage.
