Chapter 128: Please borrow the sir to use it

After a long time in Hanguang Palace, the Queen Mother's voice rang again: "What do you think?"

Mr. Qin bowed his head and replied respectfully: "The old minister dares not, he just acts according to the rules. I pray that the Empress Dowager Fengxin will be dictatorial."

After thinking for a while, the Empress Dowager nodded slowly. As the saying goes, as the law is, since Your Majesty is already absent, it is naturally the crown prince who succeeds to the throne. The Empress Dowager thought of the several conversations with the crown prince in the past two days, and was more satisfied with this grandson, and felt that this child was much more clear and clearer than his mother.

The Empress Dowager is the Empress's aunt. No matter from any perspective, the prince's succession will be her first choice. At this time, she received a hidden statement from a military official, and there is no reason to change all this.

"Where is the Fan Mansion?"

"Empress... I shouldn't forget the woman named Ye before."

After another deadly silence, the Queen Mother said, "You go down first."

"Yes." Old General Qin bowed and withdrew from Hanguang Hall. However, not far from this palace, the old man with the highest seniority in the Qing State military subconsciously looked back and felt that he could vaguely hear someone in the hall crying.

The old man's heart suddenly twitched, and he remembered the emperor's soul on the Great East Mountain in the distance. An unprecedented palpitations and fear suddenly surged into his heart. Cold sweat began to ooze from his back, speeding up his pace of leaving the palace.

After the previous two days and two nights, the concubines who were invited into the hall by the empress dowager returned to their respective bedrooms, except for the three Concubine Ning Cairen Yi Guipin Shu Concubine. The reason is very simple. These three concubines all have princes. At such an extraordinary moment, if the crown prince is to ascend the throne safely, the empress dowager must hold these three women in his hands.

As for the eldest princess, she returned to Guangxin Palace, which she had been away from for a long time.

The queen mother sat alone on the couch. Several old maids served behind calmly, not daring to make a sound. The dark yellow light shone on the old lady's cheeks, clearly distinguishing countless wrinkles, making the most powerful man in Qingguo present a hopelessly old look.

"Will you choose the wrong choice?"

The question in the heart of the empress dowager was like a poisonous snake that kept swallowing her confidence. When she was old, she suddenly heard the news of her son's death was a very difficult blow for all the elderly. However, the Empress Dowager Qing strongly suppressed her sadness and began to seek the most reliable and safe way for the future of Qing Dynasty.

"If he was still alive, he would definitely blame the Ai family."

The Empress Dowager slowly closed her eyes, thinking about the emperor who had left this world. She felt sad. When she visited Dadong Mountain to worship the sky, His Majesty's goal was to depose the prince. However, His Majesty's first Bintian, as a mother, wanted to help the prince ascend the throne again. His Majesty's soul would definitely be very angry.

However, for the sake of Qingguo and the ten thousand miles of land that the emperor has built can survive, the empress dowager seems to have no choice.

Even the terrible guess that lies in her heart will not affect her choice.

The Empress Dowager suddenly opened her eyes, as if she was to find her son's soul in this palace. She looked at Yegong quietly, her lips slightly opened, and said in a voice that only she could hear: "I don't care who harms you, no matter who I chose, I don't care whether you were the one I chose to harm you, but you are dead, do you understand? You are dead. Then nothing matters!"

Yes, the Queen Mother is not a stupid old woman in the village. The so-called evidence that she has come to Beijing for several days cannot make her fully believe that her grandson, who is not very intimate, will be the mastermind behind the assassin.

She even vaguely doubted that her daughter and her other grandchildren played a role in the assassination of the emperor. Because from which perspective, the emperor's death gave these people the best fruits.

But doubting is useless. Believing is just a subjective choice. The Queen Mother knows that if she wants to be more at ease in the few years before her death, she must force herself to believe that Fan Xian is the real murderer and the prince will definitely become a wise ruler.

"Empress Dowager, the eldest princess is here." An old lady lowered her voice and reported.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand weakly, and the eldest princess Li Yunrui, dressed in a white palace uniform, slowly walked into the main hall of Hanguang Hall and bowed to the Empress Dowager in a timid way.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a little while, and waved her hand. The nanny and palace maids who served in the palace quickly left the main hall and left the empty and deserted palace to the mother and daughter.

The Queen Mother looked at the tears in the corner of her daughter's eyes and was slightly lost. After a while, she said, "I heard that you have been crying in the past few days. Why hurt yourself so much? People have already left. It's useless for us to cry here again."

The eldest princess smiled quietly and said in a gentle tone that she had never shown before the Queen Mother: "What my mother taught me is."

Then she sat next to the queen mother and snuggled gently like a twelve or twelve-year-old girl.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and said, "Your brother is an unreliable guy. Since Your Majesty has gone, when you have time, come and talk to me for a while."

"Yes, mother."

The Empress Dowager looked at her daughter from the corner of her eyes, suddenly frowned, and said, "Try to convince the Ai family about Anzhidi."

The eldest princess was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect her mother to ask so directly. After a while of silence, she said, "I don't understand what my mother means."

The Queen Mother's eyes gradually became colder, but she faded quickly and said in a harmonious voice: "I just need something to convince myself."

The eldest princess lowered her head and said after a moment: "Fan Xian has a reason to do this."

"Why?"

"Because his mother is Ye Qingmei." The eldest princess raised her face and looked at her mother with a hint of desolation, "And he never thought that her surname was Li."

The Queen Mother was not angry and said calmly: "Continue."

"He colluded with the people of Northern Qi in Jiangnan. The specific things will be clear after checking them later." The eldest princess said calmly: "In addition... Fan Xian and Dongyi City are also a little confused. In recent days, the young ninth-grade master who was following him should be the closed disciple of Sigujian."

"You mean Wang Shisanlang." said the Empress Dowager.

The eldest princess' brows frowned slightly. She seemed to have never expected that her mother was so clear about these things, and she lowered her head and replied: "Yes."

"A few months ago, Chengqian went to Nanzhao and took care of Wang Shisanlang along the way." The empress dowager's eyes calmed down, "If he was from Fan Xian, then I think... Anzhi is a good child."

The Empress Dowager continued to say slowly: "The prince has told the Ai family about Wang Shisanlang." The old man sighed: "For several days, the prince has been defending Fan Xian vigorously. It seems that Chengqian is not bad at all."

The eldest princess nodded: "Daughter thinks so too."

The Empress Dowager looked at her daughter quietly: "Your Majesty each has his own benefits, and the Ai family is very pleased, so... the Ai family does not want to watch these younger generations continue to torment by you."

"Daughter understands what you mean." The eldest princess responded calmly: "From now on, my daughter will be at ease."

"Although Your Majesty has been a little confused over the past few years, he is your brother after all." The empress dowager's brows gradually frowned, her eyes full of deep sorrow and helplessness, looking at her daughter. She couldn't speak for a long time.

The eldest princess turned sideways slightly, exposing her beautiful cheeks to the dim light.

The queen mother raised her palm and slapped the princess hard on the face, making a crisp sound. The princess groaned and was knocked to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her lips.

The empress dowager's chest was rising and falling rapidly, and it took a long time to calm down.

It is not clear whether Fan Xian has already made a judgment that is closest to the truth about the situation in the palace. If he knew this, he would definitely not choose to enter the palace, and face the empress dowager who stated the truth about Dadongshan, and handed over the letter written by His Majesty, as well as the jade seal.

In this great event that shocked the world, Fan Xian must admit that the choice made by his mother-in-law was a very simple, clear and effective plan. As long as His Majesty dies, both the court officials and the queen mother will take the prince who is more and more like the king as his first choice.

From the perspective of status and stability, there is no better choice than the prince.

Once the prince ascended the throne and the dust settled, Fan Xian had no choice but to find a way to go to Northern Qi for a soft meal. But the problem is that the Fan Mansion is under the control of the palace. His wives and concubines heard that they had been taken into the palace, so he wanted to go to a soft meal. But it was impossible to throw away the dry meal.

The women in the old Li family are indeed more vicious than the other.

While Fan Xian retelled the three words "Old Bitch" in his heart, he used the cover of the night to climb over a high wall and gently landed in the green garden.

This is a minister's mansion. Although there are no masters to protect him, there are many people in the mansion and many officials come and go. From the foot of the courtyard wall to the study, Fan Xian, who was seriously injured, felt a surge of pain and almost exposed his hiding.

After listening quietly to the movement inside outside the study room for a while, Fan Xian pried open the window with a dagger and flashed in. There was a white layout like snow in his eyes. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, then turned around and strangled the throat of the minister who wanted to exclaim out, leaned to the other party's ear, and said softly: "Don't call me, it's me."

The minister who was restrained by him heard his voice, and his body was shocked by lightning, but gradually relaxed.

Fan Xian looked at his eyes vigilantly and pulled his iron palm away from the other party's throat. If the other party really called someone to catch him regardless of his life, with his current state, it would be really difficult for him to escape from Kyoto alive.

This is a gambling, but Fan Xiandi's life is a big gambling, and his luck has always been good enough.

Instead of calling someone to help his life, the minister looked at Fan Xian's pale face with a strange look, and seemed a little surprised and unexpected joy.

"Old man Shu, don't look at me like this." Fan Xian confirmed that his judgment was correct, took back the dagger, and sat opposite Shu Wu.

Yes, at this time, he was in the study of Shu Mansion. After several calculations, Fan Xian decided to find this great minister first. Because among the civil and military officials in the court, he always felt that only Zhuang Mohan's student was the most trustworthy in terms of character and morality.

Shu Wu looked at him with complicated eyes and suddenly spoke, "Three questions."

"Please speak." Fan Xian responded seriously.

"Is Your Majesty dead?" Shu Wu's voice trembled a little.

Fan Xian was silent for a moment: "When I left Dadongshan, I was not dead yet, but..." He thought of the figure who came by the boat, the Sigu Jian hiding beside him. Thinking of the big bald head who was very likely to take action, he frowned and said, "It should be dead."

Shu Wu sighed and said nothing for a long time.

"Who is the mastermind?" Shu Wu looked into his eyes.

Fan Xian pointed to his nose and said, "According to the information from the military and the Supervision Bureau, it should be me."

"If it were you, why would you go back to Kyoto?" Shu Wu shook his head: "It's so crazy that it doesn't match your heart and nature at all."

Both of them fell silent, and Fan Xian suddenly spoke, "Since I'm here to find you, of course I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"You can't let the prince ascend the throne." Fan Xian stared at his eyes and said word by word.

Shu Wu frowned and then loosened again, and lowered his voice and said, "Why?"

A faint self-deprecation appeared on Fan Xian's lips: "Because... I believe Grand Secretary Shu doesn't want to look at a scum who kills his father and ruthlessly sits on the dragon throne of Qingguo."

The room was quiet, Fan Xian stood up, took out the letter hidden close to his arms, and said softly: "Shu Wu received the order."

Shu Wu was shocked, knelt on the ground, and took the letter with his hands trembling. He felt a lot of doubt in his heart, thinking that if Your Majesty had returned to heaven, who had planned this order? But he had been in the court for many years and had been holding the book pavilion for a long time, and was extremely familiar with His Majesty's handwriting. He only looked at the cover and the explanation of the seal, and knew that it was His Majesty's handwriting, and he couldn't help but feel excited. His eyes began to feel wet.

Fan Xian opened the envelope and handed the letter to Shu Wu.

Shu Wu became more and more shocked and angry as he looked. Finally, he couldn't help but slap the desk beside him and cursed: "It's a wolf! It's a wolf!"

Fan Xian gently held his hand, without letting Grand Secretary Shu hit the desk with his palm, and said slowly: "This is what Your Majesty asked me to write the night before returning to Kyoto."

"I'll enter the palace soon." Shu Wu stood up, unable to hide his anger. "I want to meet the Queen Mother."

Fan Xian shook his head.

Shu Wu frowned and said, "Although there was no funeral, the palace has begun to prepare for the prince's ascension to the throne, and it is not too late. If it is too late, I'm afraid nothing will be too late."

Fan Xian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said, "This imperial book was originally written for the Queen Mother."

Shu Wu was shocked and thought to himself that it was right. With Fan Xian hiding his power in Kyoto and his own super strength, even if the palace city is extremely blocked at this time, he would definitely have a way to enter the palace and meet the queen mother. With this letter and the seal I had read before, the queen mother would definitely believe Fan Xian's words.

"Ah..." Shu Wu's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Fan Xian in a daze, "Impossible!"

"There has never been an impossible thing in the world." Fan Xian's eyes seemed to be beating with ghost fires. "You are a civil servant, but I am a member of the royal family. I have to see more clearly about the thoughts of the nobles in the palace. If I were not afraid of the Queen Mother, why would I take the risk tonight?"

After a moment of silence, he said, "The Li Dynasty itself is a vital thing. It will naturally correct the deformation of the body, thereby ensuring that the entire royal family occupies control of the world and ensure its existence... Under this premise, nothing is important."

Fan Xian looked at Grand Secretary Shu and said calmly: "The things have been done thoroughly. No matter how you choose Grand Secretary, it is legitimate. You can think that I have not been here today."

Shu Wu also fell into a long silence. The Minister of Qing State became aged in an instant. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Since Mr. Xiao Fan has been here, and I know it, I naturally cannot be regarded as if you have not been here."

Fan Xian was slightly moved.

"I am just very curious. Although Shangshu Fan was under house arrest at this time, you still have many friends in the court, so why did you choose me instead of meeting others, such as Dean Chen or the eldest prince?" Shu Wu asked with a very comfortable glow in his pupils.

Fan Xian also laughed and said, "Martial power is always just the last way to solve the problem. In the end, this matter still needs to be put into force, but before taking action, Qingguo needs to be reasonable."

He said calmly: "The reason I chose you to reason with Your Majesty is very simple, because you are a scholar."
