The deeper the leakage is gone, the morning moon and the stars are gone, and the cool morning breeze blows, as if the heat of the night is blown away at this moment.

The towering walls of Xiangyang City seem to be surrounded by black peaks.

In the palace courtyard, the guards and soldiers were still obediently in the garrison. The dozens of high candles in the hall were burned to pieces. The morning breeze blew in the hole door, and the weak candle flames were on the bronze candlestick.

It was shaken and made a slight sound of beating and peeling.

Yingyun walked towards the hall and heard a violent cough. When he walked into the hall, he saw that his father had already coughed violently, his face turned red, and he was handing a snow-white sweat towel back to Qiao Jien who was standing beside him.

She looked at it and complained with distress: "Father, why haven't you slept for another night? The state affairs cannot be solved by working hard all night. Official Qiao, you don't advise your father."

"If the old minister can persuade him, he doesn't have to accompany his majesty here. The old minister's waist is almost broken." Qiao Jien was over 60 years old and was reading the memorial in the hall. His waist and legs were sore and numb.

It was even more laborious. At this time, I was relying on my seniority and complained.

Emperor Jianji raised his tired face and smiled indifferently. Seeing that it was already dawn outside the portal, he sighed and said with emotion: "It's almost dawn, and I don't feel anything!"

Yingyun was about to urge his father to go to rest quickly, otherwise when the sky was bright, there were still many things coming. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard the palace servant come in and report that Qian Shangduan and Liu Shiwang had already entered the palace to wait for the call.

Yingyun was about to blame his father for his whole night and told him that he would not have a good rest, but he saw that his father looked solemn, but he didn't know what important things were. He rushed to call Qian Shangduan at dawn and Liu Shiwang and the two of them.

Come into the palace.

"The father must pay attention to rest. My daughter will come and urge him again in a while." Ying Yun said, and then he wanted to retreat.

Emperor Jianji hesitated for a moment and said, "Yingyun, it's better to stay and listen."

Qiao Jien looked at Emperor Jianji in surprise and urged the palace servant to quickly summon Qian Shangduan. Liu Shiwang and the other two were summoned into the hall.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Qian Shangduan and Liu Shiwang walked into the hall and saw Princess Yingyun also there. After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward to salute Emperor Jianji.

"I don't know what urgent matters to you, so I'll summon me to the palace at this time?" Qian Shangduan was summoned into the palace from his bed. He didn't know what happened. At this time, he could only force his shock in his heart and ask why.

Liu Shiwang Zaochu was just a member of the Gong County Weishi. Emperor Jianji took over the tomb guarding army to defend Gong County, and he was able to rise with Ling Jian and others.

Emperor Jianji ascended the throne in Xiangyang, and Zhang Xin, Ling Jian and others led the Zuo Xuanwu Army to guard Xiangyang and the palace ban. Liu Shiwang, who knew Fangxiang County, was appointed as the Xiangyang Order.

However, Liu Shiwang's status was still far behind Qian Shangduan, and he was a little behind Qian Shangduan when he performed the ceremony. Naturally, he would say something tightly before Qian Shangduan.

Emperor Jian Ji glanced at Qian Shangduan with a stern look. Master Liu looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "You are my eyes and ears. Now, what are the changes in Xiangyang City? You are all in your heart, so I will be

Deaf and blind, what use do I want you?"

Qian Shangduan did not look at Liu Shiwang directly, but his lower eyes still glanced at Liu Shiwang's robe with his eyes and saw his hands hunched in his sleeves.

As the Xiangyang Order, Liu Shiwang was certainly not very prominent among the officials in the court, but Xiangyang County Government had the right to inquire about the officials, officials and officials, as well as the peddlers and barracks in Xiangyang City.

It is necessary to say who is the eyes and ears of Emperor Jianji. Liu Shiwang is more qualified than others.

This is also the key reason why Emperor Jianji placed Liu Shiwang, who was a military official from the county magistrate and familiar with Fangxiang County, on the position of Xiangyang Order.

Qian Shangduan thought that His Majesty was going to hear something, and it was probably Liu Shiwang who reported it to him secretly.

Thinking of this, Qian Shangduan's back felt a little cold and said in fear: "There are some discussions in Xiangyang this time, but most of them are absurd words. Your Majesty will inevitably scold him after hearing this. I did not dare to report it randomly!"

"I can tell whether it is absurd or not?" Emperor Jian Ji's expression was a little slow at this time, and he signaled the palace servant to give Qian Shangduan, and Liu Shiwang and the other two gave him a seat.

Xu sat on the embroidered dormitory. Qian Shangduan saw Liu Shiwang sitting on his lower head and was silent. He pondered: "There have been some discussions in Xiangyang recently, but the matter involves Jingsheng Hou, which is very absurd, so I have no

Your Majesty, I would like to submit your crimes!”

"How ridiculous it is, please listen." Emperor Jianji did not suspect that Qian Shangduan and Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Zheng Huaizhong and others formed cliques for personal gain, but Qian Shangduan clearly saw the undercurrents to protect Mingzhe.

And keeping silent is not what he wants to see.

Over the years, there are only a few people around him who may be called real direct descendants. If Qian Shangduan was speechless in front of him, who else could truly trust?

"Maybe Xuanwei's army was defeated by Jiaopi, and everyone in Xiangyang was in danger. People were in danger. At the end of last year, there were a lot of discussions about moving south in the city. There were also officials in the Central Plains of the Dynasty, but they were all severely scolded by Zhou Xiang. However, the Chu Mountains dynasty was rumored.

On the day of the victory, Your Majesty summoned us to the palace to discuss the rewards. After the matter was completed, Zhou Xiang was worried that Huainan would not be able to resist the powerful enemy, so he ordered Jianghuai and Jinghu to be in danger. He asked the public for his opinion on the migration of the south outside the palace gate.

; All the Dukes were worried that Huainan would endanger Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but Hu Gong was worried that the south would argue that moving south would shake the morale of the army. Zhou Gong then asked the Princess Wuwei to use the opportunity to pass the imperial edict on Chushan to seek the opinions of the Marquis Jingsheng, but the Marquis Jingsheng was generous,

Zhou Zheng gave up the matter of fiercely opposing the migration to the south, so he did not mention it to His Majesty.”

Qian Shang sat upright and stood upright,

"I thought this matter was over, and I wanted to find an opportunity to tell His Majesty, but I didn't expect that there were rumors in secret that the Marquis of Jingsheng fiercely opposed the southward migration, and that he wanted to be a minister of the Great Yuezhu Kingdom.

And he is also secretly interested in the princess - these rumors are not only absurd, but also mean something. Someone should secretly add fuel to the fire. I originally wanted to find out everything secretly and report it to Your Majesty, and it was definitely not intended to hide it from you!"

"Liu Shiwang, do you know these things too?" Emperor Jian Ji asked Liu Shiwang with a gloomy face.

"What I know is similar to Mr. Qian, and I am secretly sending people to investigate who spreads evil opinions. I haven't discovered it yet." Liu Shiwang reported.

"How do you view the migration to the south?" asked Emperor Jianji.

"The major policies of this country are not something that is beyond the mysteries' ability to discuss." Liu Shiwang said.

Emperor Jianji looked at Qian Shangduan and asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Shiwang was not included in the ranks of the ministers and ministers, so he could not discuss national affairs in accordance with the rules. However, Qian Shangduan, as a Hanlin scholar, was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was a master of edicts, but he could not avoid answering.

Qian Shangduan pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Huai Palace is crowded, the fighting spirit is not strong. The enemy soldiers are in Yingzhou. Xuzhou builds large warships and trains naval forces. In the humble opinion of the minister, we should guard against unexpected problems.

. However, I think that the Marquis of Jingsheng fiercely opposes the southward migration. He is strong in nature and has the ambition to burn his boats to sway with the barbarians. He is also loyal to the court, rather than absurd rumors about the so-called secret desires!”

"I received a secret report yesterday and learned that Xiangyang had already been talking about this matter, and people were unstable. You two are my eyes and ears, but they didn't report it to me. I was very angry. Of course, you are willing to investigate secretly first, and there are also some

I have some understanding of you, and I won’t blame you this time. If there is any disturbance in the future, I need to report it in time." Emperor Jianji said in a gentle tone as much as possible.

"I know my mistake." Qian Shangduan and Liu Shiwang said.

"You all go back and rest," Emperor Jian Ji waved his hand and signaled Qian Shangduan. Liu Shiwang and the others retreated, and said to Qiao Jien, "You go and rest too, Yingyun is here to talk to me."

After everyone stepped back, Emperor Jianji looked at the morning light in the courtyard becoming clearer, and then he said exhausted: "I have been ascending the throne in Xiangyang for less than a year, but I deeply understand what it means to be alone?"

"Why does Father feel this emotion?" Yingyun asked.

"Qian Shangduan and Liu Shiwang said just now, what do you think?" Emperor Jian Ji asked.

"Shi Wang Liu is a dull man, and he didn't even say a few words. Isn't it fair to write the imperial edict?" Ying Yun said in confusion.

"He can only call these words cleverness, but not fairness," said Emperor Jian Ji's eyes, "He knew that the Zheng family was secretly promoting the fire, and he mentioned it at all just now?

”

"How does Father know these things?" Ying Yun asked in surprise.

"This is the secret report sent by Liu Shiwang yesterday!" Emperor Jianji took out a secret letter from the desk and handed it to Yingyun. "At first, my father didn't believe Qian Shangduan intended to hide it, but I didn't expect that I would tell him at this time.

When he was summoned into the palace, he still refused to reveal the truth."

"The father specially summoned Liu Shiwang into the palace, asking him to act for Qian Shangduan to see Qian Shangjing's expression?" Ying Yun asked in surprise, "How should the father deal with Qian Shangduan?"

"What can I deal with? If I really deal with it, I will become a lonely man, and there are no people available at hand?" Jian Jidi smiled bitterly, "In the end, Qian Shangduan is just trying every means to avoid being right and wrong. He doesn't want to

He offended the officials of the court and did not want to offend the Marquis of Jingsheng openly, nor did he want to secretly add fuel to the Zheng family. He didn't even think about who to form a clique with for personal gain at this time."

"Why did the Zheng family secretly add fuel to the fire? Splashing dirty water on the body of Jingsheng Hou? What exactly do they want to do?" Ying Yun asked.

"They can't hold on in Heluo anymore. If they want to withdraw, they need to move south with all civil and military officials for their father, and bring Nanyang and Xiangyang to them!" Emperor Jian Ji said, "Qian Shangduan knows what the Zheng family is thinking.

I also guessed that my father might have no choice but to take the Zheng family, so I pretended to be deaf and dumb."

"How should my father deal with this matter, or pretend not to know about it?" Ying Yun asked,

"If you pretend to be deaf and dumb, the situation in Xiangyang that has finally been slightly stable will be overturned by these undercurrents," Jian Jidi patted his forehead and said, "If you spend some time with your father, you may be able to do so.
