Chapter 254 Who will win the destiny? (17)

Outside the house, the youngest son Zongwu cried out loud. Fu Ying's chest was wet with milk. She smiled and said, "Xiao Zongwu has a good appetite and is clamoring to eat milk. If my milk is a little bit worse, I will hire a wet nurse."

Fu Ying said casually, but Hou Dayong was stunned. He suddenly remembered his daughter in another world. At that time, his wife Xiaolin had no milk, so he had to eat milk powder. A slightly better milk powder was extremely expensive. Fortunately, Hou Dayong and Xiaolin had a good income, which made the youngest daughter in another world drink high-quality milk powder. Hou Dayong said to himself: "I don't know if the mother and daughter in another world are doing well."

Seeing that Hou Dayong was a little absent-minded, Fu Ying felt that he was still thinking about Tian Min's affairs, so she comforted him: "Don't think too much. This matter was not caused by Alang, and there is no evidence to be brought to Alang. If you say it is a suspicion, if you tell me in detail, I am afraid that the prime ministers will all be suspected."

Hou Dayong smiled and said, "There is an old saying in my hometown, which is called the bold riding dragon and tiger riding, and the timid riding mother holding chicken. If she is controlled by others everywhere, she will be unable to move in the future. Some of them must act boldly." Fu Ying heard Hou Dayong suddenly say a slang. Although it was vulgar, she was full of heroism. She looked at her husband gently, and her eyes slowly showed a firm look.

Xiao Liu came to the room with Xiao Zongwu in his arms. The little guy held his mother's nipples in his mouth. Fu Ying squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Zongwu who was sucking hard, with a look of kindness on his face. Hou Dayong had something to talk to Fu Ying. Seeing Xiao Liu standing quietly aside, he waved to Xiao Liu and said: Go out and wait outside the door.

The main house where Fu Ying lives is actually an inner and outer room, inside is the master's dormitory, and there is also a room outside. Xiaomei and Xiaoliu slept in the outer room respectively, serving the owner of the inner room at any time. When he was in Cangzhou, the main house of Liu Sanfu's brother was also in this way. At that time, Qiuju and Chunlan also slept in Hou Dayong's outer room.

Xiao Liu was a gentle girl. She walked out of the dormitory as she spoke and stood in the yard waiting.

"There is another thing that must be done. The Tian family and the Tang family colluded with each other. They will threaten the lives of Xiaomei and Zong Xun at any time. Take the initiative first and immediately uproot the Tian family's power in the palace without leaving any troubles," he said.

Fu Ying's eldest sister and sixth sister became queens one after another. She often walked in the palace and had a deep understanding of the cruelty of the struggle in the palace. She nodded and said, "Concubine Tian has been in the palace for many years. There are also many close friends. It is best to find a way to replace all the palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Tian Shu. If the disciples of the Tang sect are allowed to get into the palace and make a big mistake, they will regret it."

"The palace guards must also be replaced. You can select a group of reliable troops from the left wing army of the imperial guards. He Wulang is the commander of the palace guards, so that the palace can be protected. This matter can be raised by me under the Secretary of the Central Committee."

Fu Ying hesitated a little, "These are all big things. If the action is too big, I'm afraid it will cause doubt."

Hou Dayong said firmly: "There is also the old saying, "There is no turning back when you open the bow, and any hesitation will leave regrets."

"The change of palace maids and guards is not a trivial matter. If there is no appropriate reason, I am afraid that the regent will object."

Hou Dayong smiled slightly and said, "Although this frame-up plan is a bit boring, it is quite effective. You might as well use it again."

When Hou Dayong left the main courtyard, Xiao Liu entered the main house. Fu Ying looked at Xiao Zongwu, who was like a pink jade pecking in her arms, and thought of her various arrangements. She felt a little uneasy. She said to Xiao Liu with a depressed mood: "You go to Guiyun Temple to donate ten guan coins, and burn six more incense sticks for me to pray for Xiao Zongwu." Xiao Liu was about to go out, but Fu Ying remembered that she had not donated money to Zonglin yet. She said: "Xiao Liu, donate ten more incense sticks, and burn six more incense sticks. Pray for Zonglin."

Two days later, shocking news came from the palace. A little eunuch who was cleaning and cleaning occasionally found a very well-hidden cloth man in the palace Buddhist temple. The cloth man wrote the name of His Majesty Hou Zongxun on it, and there were shining silver needles inserted at the critical point.

This was a great crime against the will of heaven. All the prime ministers were stunned. After they woke up, the news was strictly blocked. Except for the prime ministers and a few concubines in the inner palace, the rest of the people did not know the news. Soon, the palace was quietly undergoing a major blood change. A group of palace maids and eunuchs were sent to Qingling to guard the tomb. The palace maids and eunuchs of Concubine Tian Shu and Zhu Xian were all replaced, and half of the palace guards were replaced, and the other half were replaced by soldiers from Shandong Qingzhou, where they recently entered the capital.

The Qingzhou soldiers from Shandong served as palace guards, which was also the result of the compromise between several prime ministers. These Qingzhou soldiers were temporarily recruited to Daliang City, and had nothing to do with the powerful people in Daliang City. Moreover, the Qingzhou soldiers have always been known for their loyalty and used as guards. All prime ministers can accept it. Hou Dayong proposed that He Wulang be the commander of the palace guards, but was rejected by Fan Zhi and others. Fan Zhi proposed that Cui Zheng, a disciple of the Centennial Cui family, was originally a small commander, but suddenly became the commander of the palace guards. This position was level with the commander of the left cavalry commander of the Iron Cavalry Army.

Surprising news followed one after another. The three private salt dealers who were very concerned about were suddenly killed in the heavenly prison, and four prisoners on duty disappeared collectively. These three private salt dealers were the key to the case of Tian Min, the Minister of Works. The bizarre death of the three made Tian Min never able to explain why there was private salt in his home. This case became an indescribable mystery.

The war on the northern border has come to an end for the time being. Since the dangerous passes such as Gubeikou were firmly controlled by the Great Zhou army, the Liao army could not pass through Yanshan, so they could only use the Northern Han army. The Liao army was always unprepared or had little food and grass, and was generally used to obtaining grain on the spot. By using the Northern Han, the Liao army had to obtain grain from the hinterland of the Northern Han. The soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han were deeply poisoned and complained, and there were constant small local forces attacking the Khitan army to defend their homes. Therefore, the conflict between the Northern Han and the Khitan suddenly increased. Although the two sides did not meet, they were also guarding secretly.

On the front battlefield, Zhao Kuangyin, who had rich practical experience, made a very accurate judgment on the situation. He was not in a hurry to fight the Liao army, defended the dangerous passes, and implemented a policy of clearing the fields, which made the Liao army want to "crush grass valley" but fail and fell into a dilemma.

In Daliang City, Tian Min was temporarily driven out of the court, and Hou Dayong issued an order to kill the third disciple of the Tang Sect to Du Gang of Feiying Hall.

Du Gang has been paying close attention to the matters in Feiying Hall, and he has some objections: "I think it is not appropriate to take action now."

"reason?"

"After the Tian Min incident, the three disciples of the Tang Sect moved immediately, but they did not leave Daliang City and were still wandering around every day. Who do their subordinates think they seemed to be waiting for?"

Du Gang's judgment basically coincided with his foresight. Hou Dayong secretly praised in his heart, but on the surface he was silent, saying, "The disciples of the Tang sect are quite skillful in using poisonous means. If they are not closed down for a long time and accidentally let them run away, it will be difficult to catch them in the future."

Du Gang said calmly: "The three disciples of the Tang Sect have fallen into the net of heaven and earth. As long as he appears on the street, countless eyes will be staring at them. If there is any mistake, I am willing to take all the responsibility."

"Since that's the case, I'll follow it for a few more days. If there is any abnormal movement, hurry up and start."

After making this plan, Du Gang said again: "In recent years, Feiying Hall has arranged some ears and ears in the Zezhou area, and one ear has been involved in the Limi Cult. Although his status is not high, the news is quite good. This morning he sent a message that the headquarters of the Limi Cult was captured by the Taiyuan soldiers led by Liu Jiye. The Holy Lord Gu Yingtian and his remaining subordinates had already arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He stayed in Zezhou for one night and continued to go south. His whereabouts are uncertain at present."

The disciples of the Tang sect are good at using poison, and the assassination methods of rituals are quite harmful. If they come to Daliang, although they cannot decide the overall situation, they must be careful at all times, which is also an extremely uncomfortable thing.

Du Gang looked at Hou Dayong and frowned. He said, "The main activities of Li Mi Education are in Liaozhou, Daizhou and other places. There are obvious differences in the accents of Liaozhou and Daliang City. I have ordered people to investigate people with Liaozhou and Daizhou accents."

In the early years of Xiande, Du Gang was still Hou Dayong's personal guard. He personally experienced several assassinations by Li Mi Cult, and he also had a good understanding of Li Mi Cult's techniques. He also said: "Li Mi Cult likes to use poisonous crossbows. If they understand Hou Xiang's daily walking route and set up poisonous crossbows next to the street, it is difficult to guard against. It is recommended that Hou Xiang do not take a fixed route."

Hou Dayong was not a reckless person. He sat on the Hu who was riding on the back of the study, and gently tapped the table with his left hand. This kind of tapping has become a way for him to think about problems in the study. The desktop is made of hardwood, and the fingertips hit it, which has a hard texture.

"It seems that I can only change my walking habits." Hou Dayong is not unfamiliar with assassination skills in another world. He thought for a while and said, "There are five roads from the Zhongshu Gate to the Hou Mansion, but in the end they have to pass through an alley before they can return to the Hou Mansion. This alley is the place I must pass. If I am an assassin, put the poisonous crossbow behind the doors and windows, and wait for the rabbit at that time."

"There are only seven properties that must be passed. Feiyingtang has bought the street-side shop, and the other five are residences. If you buy them with force, it will probably have a big impact."

"No need, this kind of thing is hard to guard against. There are countless good places for assassination on the five roads. You can install poison crossbows and wait for me to come to my door. In my hometown, the best defense is offense, this is true for war, and the same is true for doing other things. Mobilize all the power of the Feiying Hall and teach me Li Mi to find it out."

Du Gang nodded and said, "I'll do this immediately." After saying this, Du Gang wanted to get up and leave, but there was a hint of expression on his face that he wanted to say it but still stopped. Hou Dayong had such a sharp look and had long seen this hint of expression, "If you have anything else, just say it."

Du Gang said hesitantly: "Ajige and Hou Hu have been to Daliang for several days. They haven't seen Hou Prime Minister for several days. They are a little bored."

Ajige was the first woman that Hou Dayong came to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It had been seven years since he knew it. Ajige's voice, appearance and smile were already very blurred in Hou Dayong's mind. More importantly, Fu Ying had just given birth to a child, and suddenly another woman and child appeared, which made Hou Dayong not know how to explain to Fu Ying.

Hou Dayong thought with some distress: "Ajige is quite strong in character. I wonder if she is willing to become a concubine. Alas, things have to be faced." He stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go see Ajige and Hou Hu now."
