The death of the prince in the Silver Hook Gambling House was definitely a big deal, and the old eunuch couldn't delay it, so he returned to the palace overnight.

was in the imperial study, and when he heard the news, Zhao Su was uneasy, and sent Li Deshun to be his eyes to see. But it's almost true.

At first, I was frightened and it was difficult to sit and lie down, but soon Queen Zhao Shang heard the letter and came to the imperial study to see the driver!

Pacing with his hands behind his back, the palace man hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you!"

"Well, Xuan!"

"Xuan, the queen mother will see you,"

Zhao Shang, who was in a hurry, walked in quickly, looking like he hadn't even freshened up, his face was jade-white, and he was a little less coquettish than before. After coming over to see the driver, he opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that Yi'er had an accident?"

"Well, I don't know what's going on, I've already sent Li Deshun to see it!"

"Yes," Zhao Shang, who frowned, asked again, "Listen to them, Yi'er...... Won't it be?

This kind of thing, how can it be said directly, if it is said, Zhao Shang will not be able to bear it, I am afraid that the jade body will not slacken, and if the trouble is not good, he will have to die with Xiang Xiaoyu! Zhao Su had no choice but to shake his head and say: "Don't think about it too much, let's wait for Li Deshun to come back! Hey, I just said that I can't let him go out! Hmph, there are too many people staring at him!"

"Woo, woo, what the emperor said is that it is the negligence of the concubine, and he should be summoned to the palace to take a good look!"

"Hmmm......"

Whether to see it or not is another matter, but the things at hand are a mess, which inevitably makes Zhao Su have a headache. Liu Tingyu's occupation of Sanqin has not yet been resolved, and he gave up the opportunity to recover Yanyun, but now he didn't expect that it would be a dilemma for Yu Shiji's army to be in Shangzhou. As soon as the news of Liu Tingxuan's assassination on Xiyong's side came, Liu Ba had already handed over a letter demanding that Zhao Su hand over Lian Kang! This Xiyong's reaction caught him by surprise.

Now Sanqin has become a hot potato, and he can't throw it away, or he won't come.

And now that the news has just come out, Zhou Peiyan, who has always been the most timid in Beiye, actually blatantly Chen Bing border, what does this mean?

Originally, I turned over the sign today, and I was going to spend the night with a nobleman in the harem, but not long after I turned over the brand, someone came to report regardless of the holy car, and the opening was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dead!

This kind of thing is like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it is even greater than the shock that Wang Dingyang gave to Dongyi Taibai!

That's the future emperor heir of Dajian, and he is dead!

The first reaction was that someone murdered him, so he sent Li Deshun to take a look.

I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and everyone in the harem was convinced!

Seeing the queen standing there crying, Zhao Su helped her over and sat on a chair.

was about to say comfort, when he heard the attendant walk in and report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister He has arrived!"

"Xuan,"

"Xuan, He Shu are all here. ”

The old prime minister was also in a hurry to clean up, and when he came in, he forgot to put down his crutches, and came in on crutches!

"Weichen see the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Seeing that Zhao Shang was also there, He Shujun was a little puzzled, and saluted again: "I've seen the queen's mother, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

"Get up and sit down. ”

I don't know what's going on, but after sitting down, He Shujun asked, "Your Majesty, what's the urgency of summoning the old ministers so late?"

I didn't know what to say for a while, Zhao Shang was sobbing quietly there, but he didn't care, but gently patted her back to comfort her.

After a pause, Zhao Su stabilized his mood, and that's it

said: "There is news from Xiyong, Liu Tingxuan was assassinated by the Qingzhou people! Unfortunately, Lian Kang is also there, and now Liu Ba has sent a message asking me to hand over Lian Kang!"

"What?"

Not only He Shujun was surprised, but even Zhao Shang, who was wiping his tears, couldn't help but be fascinated.

"In addition, I just got the news that 100,000 people in Beiye are on the border. ”

"Huh?"

How could the situation change so quickly in this moment? He Shujun lowered his head and thought.

"What do you think?"

He Shujun thought for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Did the emperor say that Liu Tingxuan, the great prince of Xiyong, was assassinated? Was it done by Qingzhou?

Zhao Su nodded and explained, "Lian Kang is the entourage in charge of escorting the mission this time. It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Jincheng, I encountered this incident, and someone pretended to kill Liu Tingxuan in the name of the Flying Eagle Division and the people of Qingzhou, saying that Liu Tingxuan was pushed to the twenty-top ranking, and then Cao Feng of Qingzhou challenged Liu Tingxuan and killed him. But Lian Kang reported this matter, and there was no one from the Flying Eagle Division involved, someone was to blame, and he suspected that the people of Qingzhou deliberately blamed the Flying Eagle Division, intending to provoke the conflict between Dajian and Xiyong. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

He Shujun nodded and looked at Zhao Shang on the side, then touched his beard and said, "Then Liu Ba will ask us for Lian Kang now?"

"Hmm. ”

......

Seeing that He Shujun didn't speak, Zhao Su couldn't help frowning, he and He Shujun had cooperated for many years, and there was a tacit understanding between them, but today, he was silent!

Seeing him looking at Zhao Shang, he probably had something to avoid, but today's situation is already like this, if Zhao Shang is dismissed, it will be difficult for her to do it if she can't think about it. So he ignored her.

Seeing that there was no intention of repatriating Zhao Shang, He Shujun continued: "Your Majesty, there is something Weichen wants to ask. ”

"Well, you say. ”

"The assassination of Liu Tingxuan, the son of Xiyong, is also a big deal, why hasn't Weichen heard any news about it until now?"

"The news came in the morning, a total of two, one is Lian Kang's private message, the other is from Lintao Governor Wang Zhongyi, and Liu Ba's news is also sent through Xiyong Shiguan. It's before nightfall. It's all expedited, so it hasn't been through the Privy Council. ”

Nodding, He Shujun said suspiciously: "This is weird!"

"Weird?"

He Shujun said: "Your Majesty, think about it, since this incident happened in Jincheng, the first person to get the news must be Lian Kang, his letter should be the earliest, and then Wang Zhongyi of Lintao." But this Jincheng is nearly a thousand miles away from Yuliang, and the news can actually spread so quickly? Even if it is fast, could it be that when this happens, Liu Ba didn't even hesitate, and began to ask us if Dajian wants Lian Kang?"

Zhao Su couldn't help but wonder about this.

Even if this kind of thing seizes the opportunity, this Lian Kang is now in Xiyong, and he Liu Ba himself will not catch it?

This makes some sense!

When he first heard the news, Zhao Su's first reaction was that Liu Ba didn't want to fight at all, but just wanted to settle Xiyong's grievances and give an explanation to the following! When I was still thinking about this, the bad news of the eldest prince Zhao Yi came!

Zhao Su, who is also old, can't stand such a sad thing, and he can't help but have a lot of thoughts, and his mind has already been disturbed. If it weren't for the fact that after hearing Zhou Peiyan's movements before, he decided to summon He Shujun immediately, I am afraid that he would have been immersed in grief and would have been in pain!

Of course this thing comes to people

It was also very vague, so he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that this was fake news, so he asked Li Deshun to hurry up and take a look.

After hearing He Shujun's analysis, Zhao Su's train of thought returned.

Indeed, this is a bit too hasty. Even if his son died, Liu Ba immediately decided to do it, and this matter was still too fast. It turned out that on the same day, Lian Kang's message arrived in the morning, and Liu Ba's message came in the evening!

Moreover, is this matter over if you hand over a Lian Kang? Sanqin's matter, not a word about it?

......

He Shujun pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, let's think about it from another angle, who did the assassination of Liu Tingxuan?"

"Qingzhou. ”

"Then what does Qingzhou want? Do you want us to build and fight with Xiyong?"

"Well, indeed. He wanted to pull this matter to the head of the Flying Eagle Division, and it just so happened that Lian Kang appeared in Jincheng again, so the people of Qingzhou took the opportunity to blame us!"

Shaking his head, He Shujun said: "This matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface!"

"What do you mean?"

"Has the emperor ever thought about a question, if Qingzhou wants to blame us for Dajian, why do you want to pull the people of Qingzhou to assassinate Liu Tingxuan? Isn't this also provoking Liu Ba? Although Qingzhou has made a lot of small moves against Xiyong for so many years, when has this kind of thing been done in the open? Wang Zan can assassinate Liu Tingxuan and then blame the Flying Eagle Division!"

Saying that, He Shujun touched his beard and continued: "And there is one thing that Wang Zan doesn't understand, doesn't Liu Ba understand? What reason does the Flying Eagle Division have to assassinate Liu Tingxuan? The princess is the county lord of my Dajian, if Tingxuan succeeds to the king of Xiyong in the future, wouldn't it be a good thing for me to build Dajian?"

"That's the problem, that's why I'm calling you. ”

The old prime minister nodded, and fell into deep thought again.

Sneaking a glance at Zhao Shang, He Shujun didn't speak again, as if he lowered his head in contemplation.

This is a court political matter, which should have been avoided, but now her son's situation worries her even more, so Zhao Shang also stayed in this imperial study, and he didn't mean to leave for a long time.

Zhao Su was still worried.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, since this is the case, it won't help to check those roots now, so it's better to think about the next plan, right?"

That's true, Zhao Su, who had to nod, looked at He Shujun: "In your opinion, what's next?"

"Cough, this, the minister thinks that as soon as Tingxuan dies, this Xiyong will change greatly! Liu Tingyu is Liu Ba's only son! I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before I return to Xiyong, and the county lord will be sad, do you want to consider it and take it back." In addition, the matter of Sanqin must also have a result. ”

"The result?

"Gotta talk to him. ”

"Talk, talk to whom?"

The old prime minister was silent.

Looking at Zhao Su's extremely annoyed face, the words behind this did not come out.

"Talk to whom?"

Zhao Shang looked at He Shujun and couldn't help blinking.

Who else? This is the emperor's mold.

He Shu didn't speak, also because he was getting weaker and weaker.

If it was before, even if there was such a thing, the emperor would at least listen to it, and he would not be angry.

This matter in the court, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, is no longer the era when He Shujun has the final say!

is to have this careful opportunity,

Zhao Shang can sit here in a grand manner for half a day without leaving!
