After a day and night of flying at full speed, Qin Miaoshi finally arrived in Hengyang City, where the capital of Rizhao was located, in the early morning of the third day. As soon as possible, Qin Miaoshi wanted to find her mother to inform Cui Shang of the news of the rebellion. It's a pity that Queen Zhen was already in Yundu at this time, so even if Qin Miaoshi searched for most of the Chaoyang Palace, she was only told that the Queen Mother was not in the palace, and no one knew where she went. In addition, it was not yet dawn at this time, and there were no ministers in the palace to deal with government affairs, and there was no one to share her worries in a hurry, so she was so anxious that her eyes were tearful and she was at a loss.

"Princess Myoshi. Just as she was in a hurry, a palace attendant slowly walked out of Qin Tiancang's bedroom. This person has a thin figure, his face is as white as frost, he is dressed in Fengxia brocade, and his feet are woven with silk tassels. Although the throat bone is huge, it is twisted like a woman, and her temples are snowy, but she does not have a beard. This chamberlain's name is called Qiqiao, and he was originally Qin Tiancang's personal eunuch, and he has been taking care of Qin Tiancang by his side since he was born. Now that he has passed the age of knowing his fate, Qin Tiancang made him the foreman of the chamberlain, and he no longer needs to do daily chores himself, and he is allowed to come and go freely in the harem. Although Qiqiao is old, he likes to apply young women's makeup, and everyone in the harem calls him 'Brother Qiao', regardless of his age.

When Qin Miaoshi saw Brother Qiao coming over, she grabbed his wrist, and the painful Qiqiao eunuch screamed.

"Brother Qiao, something big has happened", Miao Shi knows that although the Qiqiao eunuch is only a foreman, he is unknown to everyone in Hengyang City, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking and trusted person in the inner palace by Qin Tiancang.

This morning, as in the past, the Qiqiao eunuch got up early to arrange all the matters of the morning monk's study. Although the work has been in order for decades, he still has to go through it in person to rest assured. Who knew that when he first came to ask Jun Shang to get up, he remembered that Qin Tiancang led the army to march in person, and he was not in the palace, so he had to sigh with words that the years were unforgiving. was secretly praying for the king's blessing, and as soon as he went out, he saw Princess Miaoshi's panicked appearance, and was about to ask, but was grabbed by Qin Miaoshi's arm: "What is the county lord Miaoshi panicking, I don't know if I can tell the old slave? The old slave is not talented, and he is willing to solve problems for the princess, and he also asks the county lord to let the slave go first." ”

Qin Miaoshi naturally knew the status of the Qiqiao eunuch in the palace, and finally saw a person who could be trusted and had the ability to help him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Qiao, do you know where the queen mother went? Cui Shang rebelled! The rebels will come to the city in less than three days!"

Brother Qiao was also shocked to break out in a cold sweat when he learned of Cui Shang's rebellion! Since the death of General Chu Shiguo, Qin Tiancang was grateful for his military exploits during his lifetime, and there was no general position in the country from now on. He is still the chief of the department, and he is already the highest-ranking person in the army. Moreover, Jun Shang is now focusing on cultivating the Moon Lice Pioneer Battalion, and the three armies of Mabu are nominally under the command of Cui Shang, and he is the first person in the army in terms of position and power. If such a person wants to rebel, except for Qin Tiancang, who is leading the troops, there is really no one who can compete with the sunshine. But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and comforted Qin Miaoshi: "The county lord doesn't need to panic. Although Cui Shang nominally commanded the three armies, the actual military power was still in the hands of the king, and the most he could mobilize was the 5,000 men and horses of the Tiger Battalion. Besides, he went out with the king, and too many people on the front line would definitely be noticed by the king. Therefore, it is impossible for all the elites of the Tiger Battalion to go out with the army to callback, so after calculation, Cui Shang's command only uses two or three thousand, which is not a cause for concern. The most important thing at the moment is to notify the civil and military officials so that everyone can prepare early. In particular, you and Princess Miaoyin can't be controlled by the rebels, so as not to cause more trouble. ”

"Thank you Brother Qiao for your advice, I lost an inch. Qin Miaoshi also calmed down when she heard this, and when she thought about the current situation, she was as Gonggong Wei said, "It's just that Miaoyin doesn't know the current situation, and I don't know if there are still Cui Shang's comrades among the civil and military officials." Please also ask Brother Qiao to teach me. ”

"Princess Miaoyin has always been in poor health, and the old slave thinks it's better not to tell the truth for the time being. Brother Qiao pondered for a moment, and then continued, "It's better to hand over Princess Miaoyin to the old slave to take care of, and the old slave will die to ensure that the princess is well-being." As for the civil and military officials, the current captain of the palace guard battalion, Gao Xiao, has more than 1,000 people in the guard battalion, and he can stay in the palace when the king goes on an expedition, which shows that this person is loyal. You Hu, the commander of the royal capital patrol, has more than 1,500 royal capital guards, this person is upright, and he has a gap with Cui Shang, so he can be trusted with him. In addition, more than 1,000 people from the Longxiang reserve battalion were stationed outside the city, led by the head Sun Xun. Although these people have not yet been officially recognized by the Longxiang Battalion, they are also elites selected from all over the world. Once we have mastered these forces, we have the ability to hold on to the rebels of Cui Shang. The rest of the civil officials, the first assistant Tan Kai, the second assistant Yang Wang, these two people are highly respected, as long as they learn the news, they will coordinate hundreds of officials and guard the palace. ”

Qin Miaoshi firmly remembered every name that Grandpa Wei told him, and she believed that as long as these people were found, then this rebellion crisis would definitely be able to survive safely. Considering that she also had to coordinate hundreds of officials, Qin Miaoshi went to the first assistant Tan Kai's house first.

Tan's mansion is not far from the palace and occupies a large area, Qin Miaoshi finally opened the door, but what she ushered in was only a strong servant woman in Tan Kai's family. This servant woman seemed to have expected to see Qin Miaoshi after opening the door, and she was in a hurry to ask for peace respectfully, but the door was only half opened, and she blocked it with her whole body.

"Tell your master to come out, I have something urgent to find him!" Qin Miaoshi can't care about dealing with a subordinate at the moment, and it is important to see the main master earlier.

"Princess, don't blame, my lord occasionally felt cold last night, his health was not good, and he couldn't get up in bed. The servant woman said these words seriously, but Qin Miao's poetry was not light. When is it, you are a half-old servant and you still don't drag the text up!

"Hurry up, there is an important military situation in this palace, you can't afford to delay!" Qin Miaoshi said that she wanted to push the servant woman away. But this servant woman is also fierce, in the face of the princess, she didn't take half a step back, but straightened up, took Qin Miaoshi back two steps, and said viciously: "The county lord, please go back! Helplessly, Qin Miaoshi, who had eaten a closed door, had to go to the second assistant Yang Wang's house first.

It's just that Qin Miaoshi didn't know that Tan Kai was actually behind the door, and he had been directing a small servant to observe Qin Miaoshi's dynamics through the crack in the door. After Qin Miaoshi left, Tan Kai pointed at the servant woman and scolded: "Foolish woman! Talking nonsense! Teach you to be able to say half a sentence wrong! How can this official be bedridden for a day! Fortunately, the county lord of Miaoshi is very arrogant, and if she is Princess Miaoyin, she has already been seen through!"

"Master, why don't you see Lord Miaoshi, what if she is really in a hurry?" asked the little servant strangely on the side.

"How can this official mansion raise you stupid people! Lord Miaoshi has always been rude and willful, doing whatever he wants. When did she participate in the government and military affairs? How could she know about important military affairs?" Tan Kai actually regretted why he was hiding when he heard Qin Miaoshi say that he had important military affairs. So now in the face of the inquiry of his own subordinates, it is not so much to teach his subordinates, but to give himself an explanation. But after the explanation, Tan Kai still had a pimple in his heart, so he was ruthless, took a little laxative, made himself look weak, and ordered a few little servants to carry him to the palace to find someone to confirm the news.

Besides, Qin Miaoshi rushed to the house of the second assistant Yang Wang. Yang Wang is an old minister with an eccentric personality, who has worked in the position of second assistant for more than 20 years, and he can already be promoted to first assistant according to his qualifications and ability. But the DPRK and China have changed their terms many times, and several first assistants have been replaced, and he is still the second assistant.

Qin Miaoshi met Yang Wang himself very smoothly, and when she explained her intentions, the other party just sneered and responded: "Lord Miaoshi, please remember your identity! You are not really a princess! The king gave you the title of His Royal Highness, you should be a good and willful gentleman, and don't interfere in any military affairs." He, Cui Shang, is just a villain who is good at slapping horses. Hmph! He doesn't have the guts! He doesn't have the ability! On the contrary, you are now very much like your father's wolf ambition. If someone tells me that you Qin Miaoshi want to rebel, the old man will be easier to believe. ”

"What are you old puppets talking about!" Qin Miaoshi was furious when she heard him insult her father, and asked, "You have made it clear, what is the appearance of a wolf's ambition!"

"Ha! Back then, I saw that your father was just a simple man but a very good minister, so I guessed that he would definitely rebel!" Yang Wang was not afraid at all, and replied sharply, "It's a pity that I have mentioned this matter to the king many times and have been rejected. You should be glad that your father died early, so that your mother had a chance to charm you! That's why you have the name of this princess! Otherwise, you would have become a dry bone in the grave!"

"Oh, what are you crazy about old man!" Just as Qin Miaoshi was furious and was about to fist and kick, a young and beautiful man in women's clothes rushed out of the inner courtyard, and pushed Yang Wang back to the inner courtyard. He turned back to Qin Miaoshi and said, "The slave family has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. The princess should not go to her heart, this old man is like this, no one can get used to it. Especially when I get up every morning, I have to scold all the people in the DPRK and the Central Committee before I stop. When the princess said that she had something urgent to see him, he scolded half of it, and got up angry. Later, when he is angry, the slave family will persuade him to deal with what the princess said. ”

Qin Miaoshi was filled with tears in Yang Wangqi's eyes, but she didn't forget that she still had important things to do, glanced at this young man of unknown origin, and asked strangely, "Who are you?"

The man leaned over and saluted: "Returning to the princess, the slave family is Lord Yang's newly raised male pet." ”

Qin Miaoshi suddenly felt that this second assistant was extremely disgusting, and hurriedly rushed to the house of Gao Xiao, the captain of the palace guard battalion.

At this time, Qin Miaoshi had already faintly realized that she and the Qiqiao eunuch had missed one point, that is, with their own brutality and willfulness on weekdays, Qin Tiancang and Cui Shang's master and servant were suitable, plus she Qin Miaoshi was not Qin Tiancang's biological daughter. Cui Shang rebelled when this sentence came out of her mouth, how many people were willing to believe it? At least for now, it seems that Yang Wang does not believe it. This made Qin Miaoshi, who had finally calmed down, fall into anxiety again. And in the face of mistrust, this anxiety comes even more violently. When she found Gao Xiao's home for the third time, Gao Xiao, who was practicing martial arts in the garden, agreed with half confidence that she would arrange the guards of the palace, and if any rebels came, they would not be allowed to step into the palace. In fact, Gao Xiao didn't believe Qin Miaoshi's words very much, but as the captain of the palace guard battalion, he still maintained consistent vigilance, and in the face of things that might threaten the safety of the palace, he chose to believe it rather than believe it.

Finally, Qin Miaoshi, who was half relieved, rushed to the house of You Hu, the commander of the royal capital.

You Hu's appearance is not as powerful as that of ordinary generals, but a fair-skinned man who is tall and thin like a hemp pole. When Qin Miaoshi came to his house, he was already dressed and ready to go to the yamen to inspect the office. When he learned the news of Cui Shang's rebellion, You Hu was furious and shouted and scolded in the street: "What a Cui Shang! He actually did such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing! You Mou was actually under the Ling Zun account with such a villain back then, which is really embarrassing! The county lord is not worried, You Mou will go to the yamen to arrange one or two, and this time he will definitely cut off the head of this traitor!"

Qin Miaoshi was very excited after hearing this, this was the first person to fully believe in his words, and listening to his tone, Cui Shang's rebels would definitely suffer a lot. Then he took his leave: "Then please ask General You a lot! I still have to go outside the city to deliver a letter, so I won't delay General You and take my leave." ”

"Your Highness, how can such a trivial matter as sending a letter be a big deal! You Hu heard that Qin Miaoshi was going to other places to deliver letters, so he said.

Qin Miaoshi had already been in a hurry for a long time, and after coming back, she was constantly looking for someone to send a message, and she was already on the verge of exhaustion, and it was completely because of her hurry and anxiety before, so she couldn't feel the exhaustion of her body. At this time, You Hu's trust, and a suggestion to rest, instantly broke Qin Miaoshi's defense. Although I always felt that there was something wrong with it, the sleepiness had already hit like a burst.

All this was seen by You Hu, and he smiled: "If the princess doesn't dislike it, she might as well take a break in Xiaguan's house." ”

Although Qin Miaoshi felt that You Hu's smile was a little strange, she still couldn't resist the sleepiness that was rolling in, maybe he just cared more about me, after all, it was my father's old subordinate. Qin Miaoshi thought of this, so after instructing You Hu to inform Sun Xun, the head of the Long Xiang Reserve Camp, about Cui Shang's rebellion, she followed You Hu's maid to rest.

What Qin Miaoshi didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the compound with her front foot, the little maid who was leading the horse for You Hu behind her whispered to You Hu with a gloomy face: "My lord, the county lord already knows our plan, do you want to..."

You Hu grabbed the little guy's neck, gritted his teeth and whispered angrily: "She is the only bloodline of General Shiguo! Cui Shangdong no one dares to touch her! Who gave you the courage to try to do something to her? Go in and tell your subordinates that you are under house arrest, don't let the news leak." With that, he pushed the little man to the ground, stepped on the horse and walked away.
