Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Palace Change

Holding the book in his hands, Di Qing didn't rush to read it, but was full of curiosity about Li Cunxiao.Without thinking too much, Li Shunrong said: "Di Qing, I know your martial arts are not good." Di Qing came back to his senses, smiled wryly and said, "It can only be said to be normal." "But I really hope that you can protect Yi'er." Li Shunrong said, "I give you this book in the hope that you can learn something from it." Di Qing no longer refused, nor could she refuse.He is a martial artist, how can he refuse this temptation? "But, I don't know how much you can learn from it." Li Shunrong looked a little strange.

Di Qing laughed at himself: "I'm not smart..." "It has nothing to do with being smart." Li Shunrong shook his head and said, "This sword manual has been passed down for many years, but to be honest, there is not a single person who has benefited from it." Di Qing's heart moved, "Why did the sword manual fall into your hands?" Li Shunrong said lightly: "Don't forget, my surname is also Li." Di Qing was slightly shocked, "Are you a descendant of Li Cunxiao?" Li Shunrong was silent for a moment before saying: "You can put it this way. There is a secret in this knife book, which is only reserved for those who are destined. I believe you are the one who is destined."

Di Qing suddenly asked: "The blood knife in the stone room, is it the saber used by Li Cunxiao?" Li Shunrong nodded and said: "You are so smart, you guessed this. According to the legend, 'the overlord chases the deer, the Taibao runs rampant', which means that the saber used by the overlord of Chu is called Zhulu, and the saber used by Li Cunxiao is called Rampant. The knife in the Xuan Palace, It is Li Cunxiao's rampant sword." Ramp knife!It turned out that the knife was called the Hengxing knife. Di Qing recalled the aura of the knife that killed thousands of people, and the joy of blood dripping, and murmured: "No wonder, that kind of knife is worthy of the word horizontal."

"But I can't take out that knife and give it to you." Li Shunrong wondered. Di Qing hurriedly said: "Only those who are rampant are worthy of owning a rampant knife. What is it? I dare not have such extravagant hopes. In any case, the feeling of giving the spectrum is unforgettable in this life." He bowed deeply to Li Shunrong, but he felt a little strange, why did Zhao Heng keep that rampant knife in Xuan Palace?Since Zhao Heng has no feelings for Li Shunrong, why did he let Li Shunrong freely enter and leave the Xuan Palace? Without waiting for more questions, looking at Zhang Yu coming from the foot of the mountain, Di Qing put the sword book in his arms, and said: "They are looking for me, and they probably want to return to the capital."

Li Shunrong sighed softly and said: "Then...you cherish the journey." She didn't say anything more, and left first.Zhang Yu rushed to Di Qing's side and asked, "Di Qing, Your Majesty has brought Commander Guo, Wang Gui, Yan Wenying and others back. Your Majesty said that we should follow your orders and return to Beijing as soon as possible." Di Qing nodded and said, "Then let's go." At this time, the sky was clear and the clouds were like thoughts. People were outside Wolonggang, and they saw that Wolonggang was like a dragon, with beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers, but Di Qing always felt that the Wolong was wandering in the clouds and had nowhere to follow.

Di Qing set off from Gong County, took all the guards to deal with funeral affairs, and then led them back to the capital! All the guards knew that if it wasn't for Di Qing, the Holy Majesty would not have been spared.These people are all the guards in front of the palace, and the guards are not good enough. If Zhao Zhen dies, he will be buried with him, so everyone is grateful to Di Qing.But about what happened in Xuangong, no one asked much.The guards all understand that sometimes, knowing more is not necessarily a good thing. Everyone ran all the way, and finally arrived at the capital that day.It was near dusk, and the setting sun was like blood.

Di Qing was full of worries, and he was thinking about things along the way. This trip to Yongding Mausoleum brought him too much confusion.Why is Xuan Palace arranged like that?Why is the book of heaven blank?Li Cunxiao's knife, the bones of an eminent monk, the faceless statue of Buddha, and the buried Zhao Heng... These are all weird things made by the first emperor, so Di Qing can put them aside for a while.But what exactly does Zhao Zhen want to take?Who left the handprint on the stone table?Is the ghost in Chaotian Palace Zhao Heng's fraudulent corpse?Although Li Shunrong said a lot of things, it didn't seem to be false, but in his expression, he seemed to be hiding something.Why was Li Shunrong able to come and go freely in the Xuan Palace?

Every time Di Qing thought of these things, his scalp felt numb and he felt a ghostly aura.His inexplicable involvement in this matter, is it a blessing or a curse? Of course, if he, like all the guards, should have forgotten, maybe he could regard Yongding Mausoleum as a dream, but how could he forget? But why did Guo Zun and Ye Zhiqiu happen to enter the imperial mausoleum?It stands to reason that Guo Zun and others will not predict the future, so they should not enter the mausoleum.What does Guo Zun mean by Shambhala?Why did Yeyue Feitian shock Shambhala so much?Di Qing felt that she understood a lot, but was even more confused.

These confusions can be explained as long as they meet Guo Zun.Di Qing put these things aside for the time being, but what made him unable to let go the most was why there was that half of the jade pendant in the silver-white stone room? Why did the half piece of jade pendant exactly match what Yang Yushang gave?Beside the jade pendant, what is that silver-white box? Could it be that the late emperor Zhao Heng was actually related to Yang Yushang's biological father?When Di Qing thought of this, his head became dizzy. Yang Yushang's father couldn't be Zhao Heng, could he? Di Qing felt that his imagination was too rich, and it was a little unbelievable. It could be seen that Bianjing was in sight, and when he thought of seeing Yang Yushang again, he was confused and felt a little hot.Going to see Yang Yushang is more important than anything else.

When everyone arrived at the city gate, Di Qing was about to make his own decision and let everyone rest for a day. Zhao Lv had already greeted them and said, "Di Qing, you are finally back. There is a decree from the Holy Spirit to let you enter the palace as soon as you turn around." Di Qing was a little disappointed, but he knew that business should be the most important thing, so he didn't forget to ask, "Where is Commander Guo?" Zhao Lv said: "Commander Guo is also in the palace." Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that as long as Guo Zun was around, there would be nothing he couldn't solve.Although Guo Zun is just an ordinary commander in front of the palace, the power and status of the people in the two mansions are far away from each other by a thousand miles.

Everyone entered Bianjing, and when they entered the inner city and were rushing towards Da Nei, they suddenly heard a commotion in front of them, and the people blocked the road, and they couldn't pass through on horseback. Di Qing reined in his horse, and heard some people say: "It's too tragic. The seventeen members of the Qian family were killed in broad daylight." Di Qing froze, and hurriedly asked, "Which Qian family?" Seeing that it was the Imperial Army who was asking the question, the people who spoke said nervously, "It's the home of Qian Weiji, the palace envoy..." "Who killed his family?" Di Qing asked in surprise. The commoner hurriedly said: "Brother Guan, how do I know? The Kaifeng government is investigating, and it has nothing to do with me." After speaking, he turned around and left, not daring to say more. Di Qing was awe-inspiring, thinking to himself that Qian Weiji had only rebelled and been captured a few days ago, so how could his family members in the capital be beheaded to death today?If it had nothing to do with Qian Weiji's rebellion, no one would believe it, but if it was, how did these people get the news so quickly, and what did they intend to do? Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they actually had the same idea as Di Qing.They knew more or less about Qian Weiji's rebellion, and they were all thinking, who wants to kill Qian Weiji? Zhao Lv was still calm and said, "Don't mind your own business, let's go." All the guards made a detour, and when they arrived in Da Nei, they asked the palace servants to report. After a while, Zhao Zhen announced to see him.However, Zhao Zhen only ordered Di Qing and Zhang Yu to meet him, and everyone else waited outside the hall. Di Qing and Zhang Yucai entered the palace when they heard a commotion coming from ahead.The two looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering who in this prison would dare to make such a noise? After walking a few steps forward, I heard a woman screaming in front of me: "Lu Yijian, stop!" Di Qing was taken aback, and thought to himself that Lu Yijian, as the number one person in the two courts, would anyone dare to yell at him like that? Looking intently, he saw a woman pinching her waist with her hands on her waist, and her willow eyebrows were erected. Di Qing sighed secretly, thinking that this woman might be the only one who would be so rude to Lu Yijian in this world. The woman is Queen Guo! Although Di Qing only met Empress Guo once, he already knew that Empress Dowager Liu was the most powerful in the palace, but it was Empress Guo who had the greatest temper. Empress Guo glared at one person, and Di Qing followed her gaze, wanting to see what the No. 1 person in the two palaces looked like. Di Qing had heard of Lu Yijian's name a long time ago, and even became Sanzhi because of Lu Yijian's relationship, but he had never met Lu Yijian. The man opposite Empress Guo was of medium build, in his fifties, with a slightly high forehead and wide eyebrows.At first glance, Di Qing thought that Lu Yijian's appearance was a bit weird, but after a few more glances, he found that this person looked calm, so calm that he was hardly human. If Queen Guo is a volcano, then Lu Yijian is undoubtedly an iceberg.He always has a humble expression, but there is aloofness and coldness in his modesty. Even in front of Queen Guo, Lu Yijian's aloofness remained undiminished.He is respectful, but right is Queen Guo's clothes. "What is the queen's order?" Lu Yijian asked calmly after stopping. Queen Guo sneered and said, "What did you talk to the Holy One just now?" Lu Yijian said: "It's a big military matter." "What military affairs?" "If the empress likes it, you can ask the emperor. The family law of the ancestors, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the ministers dare not break the rules of the ancestors." Lu Yijian said neither humble nor overbearing. Empress Guo said angrily: "Don't talk about the Holy Spirit all day long, don't think that there is nothing I can do to you!" Lu Yijian ignored the threat, and said calmly: "I dare not. But if the queen is fine, I will leave." Queen Guo was almost mad by Lu Yijian's attitude, and screamed: "Lu Yijian! Just wait, sooner or later, I will let you know the consequences of offending me today." Lu Yijian didn't reply, Shi Li withdrew.Empress Guo rushed to the front of the palace, Yan Wenying stopped her and said, "Empress, Your Majesty...he wants to see someone else, but he can't see...you." Queen Guo was furious, and slapped Yan Wenying on the face, scolding: "You dog slave! Lu Yijian dared to be rude to me, but you are so bold, do you want to rebel?" Yan Wenying covered his face and said: "Queen, I am just acting according to the will of the Holy Majesty..." Empress Guo sneered and said, "He's the one who talks about the Holy Spirit all day long! Don't think that I can't punish you." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at Yan Wenying's eyeballs. Yan Wenying was startled, backed away in a hurry, and fell to the ground without paying attention. Empress Guo laughed and said: "Slave dog, how dare you stop me?" She walked towards the palace, and those maids and eunuchs saw this, how dare they stop me?Queen Guo drove straight in and entered the palace. Di Qing and Zhang Yu didn't want to cause trouble, but just followed behind quietly.When Yan Wenying saw the two entering the palace, he did not stop them, but there was a strange flash in his eyes. Before Empress Guo arrived in the hall, she first heard the clang of the piano several times, and when she entered the hall, she saw Zhao Zhen sitting on the throne, Guo Zunzheng sitting next to her as a companion, and there was wine before the case.There is a woman playing the Yaoqin with her forehand, playing a tune.That woman is a beautiful woman in the palace, she is not outstanding in appearance, but her piano skills are superb. Zhao Zhen had heard the commotion outside the palace earlier, but he didn't move. When he saw Queen Guo coming in, he just said: "The queen is here?" When Empress Guo saw Zhao Zhen's calm expression, she felt a sudden shock in her heart. Empress Guo and Zhao Zhen have been husband and wife for many years, and they have long been accustomed to Zhao Zhen's submissiveness.Although Zhao Zhen is the emperor, in the eyes of Queen Guo, he is no different from an ordinary wimpy husband.But see you today, Empress Guo suddenly found that this wimpy husband has become less wimpy and more confident. What made Zhao Zhen suddenly confident?Although Empress Guo felt a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, she had been arrogant for many years, unwilling to be outdone, and said, "My lord, I'm here." Zhao Zhen stopped talking nonsense and just looked at the wine glass.Empress Guo felt annoyed in her heart, thinking that she and Zhao Zhen were not like husband and wife, but more like enemies. Guo Zun did not neglect the queen, and got up early to salute.Empress Guo was unable to vent her anger, so she sneered and said, "When will the palace guards stay in the confinement? Could it be that they want to rebel?" It turns out that the imperial palace is where the emperor and the empress dowager live. Every night, the guards have to stay away. The gates of the palace are locked tightly.Now that it was night, it was extremely abnormal for Zhao Zhen to leave the imperial army in the palace. Empress Guo was messing around, but she just said it casually, seeing Zhao Zhen's face changed slightly, and the hand holding the wine glass was trembling, she couldn't help becoming suspicious, and shouted: "Oh, did I really guess right?" Guo Zun was silent, Zhao Zhen was also silent, but the meaning of this silence was really shocking.Empress Guo felt inexplicably flustered, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, it's not uncommon to have two drinks with the palace guards..." Zhao Zhen finally said: "I am grateful to Guo Zun for his contribution to rescuing him, so I set up a banquet and invited him to have a drink. In fact, it is not only Guo Zun, but also Di Qing and others." Seeing that Di Qing and Zhang Yu had arrived in the palace, Zhao Zhen said: "Di Qing, Zhang Yu, come over and have a drink." Di Qing, Zhang Yu, and Zhao Zhen went through life and death, thinking that a couple of drinks would be fine.The two took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but they didn't know that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, military generals have been ignored, and the act of Zhao Zhen and the guards drinking together was shocking. Zhao Zhen said again: "What about Wang Gui and the others? Call them over, I will get drunk with you tonight before we rest." Some eunuchs had already passed on to Wang Gui and others. Although Zhao Zhen was kind to the guards, he was kind to Empress Guo. Turn a blind eye. Empress Guo was furious again, but since Zhao Zhen didn't look for a woman, she couldn't get angry, so she flicked her sleeves and walked away. The night was as cool as water, and at some point in the sky, thick clouds had already formed, and then the cool wind blew past, as if it was going to rain. Empress Guo was blown by the cool wind, her hot heart calmed down a little, she suddenly thought that the Holy Majesty broke the rules of the palace tonight, not only kept Guo Zun here, even Di Qing and others rushed into the palace, what on earth was he doing? idea?Is he really going against me?She pulled away suddenly just now, but she was already afraid in her heart. Suddenly feeling cold, Empress Guo thought, no, after all, I have no serious enmity with the officials. Although this enemy usually doesn't spend the night with me, he won't go to the point of finding someone to deal with me.But in the palace, if he didn't deal with me, could he be dealing with the Queen Mother?Thinking of this, Empress Guo only felt that a basin of cold water was poured down her head, and her whole body became cold. Although she is at odds with Zhao Zhen, she is the queen after all. If Zhao Zhen fights with the queen mother, no matter which side loses, she, the queen, is not worth the loss.Thinking of this, Empress Guo became very anxious. She just thought, this enemy went out once, and his heart became wild. No, I'm going to tell the Queen Mother tomorrow and ask the Queen Mother to persuade him. It's best for everyone to be kind. Same as before. Empress Guo was preoccupied and went to the bedroom. The sound of thunder suddenly came from the sky, it was very gloomy, and the heavy rain was about to pour. Zhao Zhenren was in the hall, when he heard Shen Lei's voice, his face suddenly changed, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled a little.At that moment, there seemed to be expectations, fear, excitement and anxiety in his eyes... What is Zhao Zhen thinking?Nobody knows.Because all the guards were immersed in drinking, even Guo Zun was staring at the glass in a daze.When he heard the thunder, Guo Zun suddenly showed nostalgia on his face, and he didn't go to see Zhao Zhen. Di Qing was the only one paying attention to Zhao Zhen. Di Qing secretly looked at Zhao Zhen, thinking about a question that everyone was thinking about, what is Zhao Zhen going to do with the guards in the palace? At this moment, a palace man said: "Your Majesty, Yang Huaimin is asking to see you." The Empress Dowager has three capable subordinates, one who enshrines Luo Chongxun, one who is known as Yang Huaimin, and the other is the vice-known Jiang Deming.When Zhao Zhen heard Yang Huaimin coming, his eyes flickered and he said, "Let him in." When Yang Huaimin came in, he wriggled his buttocks, "Your Majesty." The servants in this palace may be different when they entered the palace, but after many years of castration, they are all like ducks with sharp voices. Zhao Zhen looked at Guo Zun, and seeing Guo Zun nodded, Zhao Zhen straightened his back and said, "Yang knows, why are you here?" Yang Huaimin said: "My Majesty, the Empress Dowager knows that Commander Guo has made great contributions in rescuing people in Gong County, so she specially called Commander Guo to Changchun Palace to inquire about some things. Commander Guo, please come with our house." Zhao Zhen was annoyed when he saw that Yang Huaimin didn't even ask himself if he was sure.Guo Zun got up slowly, and looked at Zhao Zhen with a lot of meaning in his eyes.When Di Qing saw it, his heart moved, thinking that brother Guo and the emperor must have something to do tonight.Guo Zun walked to Di Qing's side, without saying a word, quietly stretched out his finger to Zhao Zhen, nodded and left. Di Qing knew that Guo Zun wanted to obey Zhao Zhen's orders, and for some reason, his heart jumped up. Di Qing wondered to himself, thinking that he was in Gong County back then, and after several life and death experiences, he might not have been so nervous, so why was he so flustered this time?Could it be that something big is going to happen tonight? The sky was thunderous, there was no rain, and the air was full of dry heat.The Ouchi, who was originally resplendent and resplendent, suddenly became a little gloomy and cold in such a dark night. Guo Zun followed Yang Huaimin out of the imperial palace, and went straight to Changchun Palace. He was silent all the way, and when he approached Changchun Palace, Yang Huaimin suddenly said: "Commander Guo has made great achievements over the years, but he has rarely been promoted. It's all because of Guo's command." Guo Zundao: "It doesn't matter if you get promoted or not, you should share your worries with you when you eat your salary." Yang Huaimin said: "Commander Guo, our family sees that the Queen Mother is in a good mood today. As long as Commander Guo is interested, our family can seek another promotion for Commander Guo." Guo Zundao: "Whether you want to be promoted or not, I think the court has its own decision, and Guo doesn't want to break the rules." Yang Huaimin smiled, and didn't say any more, but thought in his heart, this Guo Zun doesn't know good from bad!It's rare that the Empress Dowager thinks highly of him, but he is still unreasonable, no wonder all these years, he is still just a commander in front of the palace. When everyone arrived in front of the Changchun Palace, Yang Huaimin did not report anymore, but took Guo Zun straight into the palace, the palace was brightly lit, the queen mother was still sitting behind the bead curtain, drinking tea with a person separated by the bead curtain. Guo Zun recognized that man as Li Zunxu, who was originally the captain's son-in-law, and he was related to the queen mother by marriage. Over the years, the queen mother has been behind the curtain for a lot of time. Even when the Tubo envoy was busy last time, the queen mother never showed up.Guo Zun felt a little strange when he thought of this. When Guo Zun was thinking, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I see the Queen Mother." On the other side of the bead curtain, I vaguely saw Empress Dowager Liu put down her teacup, and the first thing she said was, "Commander Guo, do you want to rebel?" After Guo Zun left the imperial palace, Zhao Zhen ordered Shang Mei to retreat, and only the personal eunuch stayed in the palace. The guards felt uneasy and excited at the same time.You must know that since the Taizu "a cup of wine to release military power", the imperial court has never given such courtesy to any generals, and the people who "drink a cup of wine to release military power" are all powerful people.Right now, everyone is just the guards in front of the palace, but to have the opportunity to drink with the emperor, that is really the honor of a lifetime. Zhao Zhen picked up the wine glass and said: "My party in the Mausoleum of the Emperor does not want to encounter shocking changes. Many loyal escorts have died. Every time I think about it, I feel uneasy. I first offer a glass to those dead guards to express my apology. "After that, he drank it all in one gulp. Everyone was moved silently and drank a glass of wine with Zhao Zhen. The palace man filled another glass of wine for Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen held up the glass and said to everyone present: "I have acted recklessly this time, and I have caused you to wait. Here I will apologize to you." All the guards stood up abruptly, not daring to shout. Wang Yu said: "My lord, I think that since I have been promoted by my lord, as a guard in front of the palace, my duty is to protect my lord, and I have put life and death aside. What my lord said really kills us. If my lord has any orders in the future, I will die with swords and flames." Don’t give up!” He said it honestly, but there was a lot of meaning in his words. Di Qing thought about it, and Wang Gui also saw that the Holy Majesty was going to do something tonight, so he used his words to imply unconditional follow.But for me, Brother Guo asked me to obey the instructions of the Holy One, so I must have already reached a conclusion. Di Qing didn't know what the conclusion was.But thinking about these years, Guo Zun has always taken good care of him, and his blood surged up, and he said: "Wang Gui is right, if the Holy Majesty has an order, I will definitely follow it." The guards also said: "If the Holy Majesty has an order, we will definitely obey it!" In an instant, the blood in the imperial palace was boiling and the crowd was raging. Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, let's drink this drink." Seeing that everyone drank, Zhao Zhen said again: "Let's eat." All the guards understood Wang Gui and Di Qing's intentions, so they all drank less wine and ate more food. After Di Qing sat down, for some reason, he felt his eyelids twitching, restless, and more and more frightened.But why, he couldn't tell. Zhang Yu was right next to him. Seeing that he was uneasy, she asked with concern, "Di Qing, are you alright?" Di Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay." He drank two glasses of wine in one go, his eyelids stopped twitching, and then he thought: I haven't seen Yu Chang for so long, I don't know what happened to her.Thinking of the woman who was as gentle as water and as gorgeous as neon clothes, Di Qing felt sweet in his heart. Holding the wine glass, Zhao Zhen thought in his heart, these people are loyal, if he really has to do something, he can only count on them.But the queen mother, alas, only hope that Commander Guo can do what I want, but if Guo Zun can't make it, do I really want to... Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen's hands couldn't help but tremble a little. Shen Lei tightened his grip, and Zhao Zhen's face turned pale. When Guo Zun heard the Queen Mother's question, his face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know why the Queen Mother made such a statement?" Empress Dowager Liu said behind the curtain: "Today, the Holy Majesty called you into the palace, and left a group of guards in the confinement. I don't know what you want?" Guo Zun said slowly: "Mostly, the Holy Majesty felt the loyalty of the guards, so he called them to drink." Li Zunxu said aside: "I think the ancients said, 'You can't be polite to ordinary people, and you can't punish high officials'. It is very inappropriate for the emperor to do this." Guo Zun said with a smile: "What the ancients said is that etiquette is not inferior to the common people, and that the criminal law does not regard the doctor as the most valuable, and the original intention is that everyone is equal. This is exactly what the ancients meant." Li Zunxu blushed slightly.In fact, he, the captain of the son-in-law, relied on the grace of the queen mother to become the captain, and he didn't have much talent himself.He wanted to refute Guo Zun, but he didn't want Guo Zun to correct his mistake, so he was speechless for a while. Empress Dowager Liu said: "Those guards are just a bunch of rough people, it's not right for the Holy Majesty to be with them." Guo Zundao: "Queen Mother, I think the ancients said, 'If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon; if people don't learn, you don't know righteousness'. The Holy Majesty lived in the deep palace for a long time. Although he had great Confucian teachings, he was still close to the people, and it was difficult to know the sufferings of the people. Although it was inappropriate to go out of Beijing, but relying on the protection of the ancestors and the good fortune accumulated by the Empress Dowager, the danger was turned into safety. I think that after going through this ordeal, the Holy Majesty will be able to rise to a higher level and govern the world, with proof." Empress Dowager Liu frowned slightly and remained silent for a while.Xindao, Guo Zun, not only has high martial arts skills, but also has such sharp rhetoric, he is also difficult to deal with.Those civil servants in the past were afraid to speak out in front of the Empress Dowager Liu because of their taboos, but Guo Zunmian had a needle hidden in it, so that no one could find the slightest mistake. It turned out that the Queen Mother was uneasy when she knew that Zhao Zhen had left Guo Zun in the palace after Zhao Zhen's return, and she was even more disturbed when she heard that Di Qing and others had also arrived in the palace. Empress Dowager Liu knew her heart disease, and of course her heart disease was Li Shunrong!Of course, Empress Dowager Liu knew that Zhao Zhen's biological mother was not herself, but Li Shunrong who guarded Zhao Heng's spirit. She never forgot about it for a day.She used to rely on Zhao Zhen to reach the position of queen mother, but now, she is actually a little afraid... As for what to be afraid of, only Empress Dowager Liu knows.She has been reluctant to ascend the throne for a long time. Others think that she is afraid of people's words and that the officials will obstruct her. Only she knows that she is not. This Guo Zun seems to be bold and unrestrained, but he is actually cautious, as if he doesn't care about anything, but he is extremely persistent in the face of big right and wrong. After a long silence, Empress Dowager Liu asked: "Commander Guo, do you remember the promise?" She didn't mention what the promise was, but she knew that Guo Zun would understand. Guo Zun said in a deep voice: "I remember, I dare not violate it." Empress Dowager Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Guo Zun was a man of promise, and what he said would definitely be fulfilled. This also made her feel relieved. I don't want Guo Zun to say afterwards: "Does the Empress Dowager remember the promise she made to the late Emperor?" There was a snap behind the curtain, and the teacup fell to the ground.Behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Guo Zun, how dare you speak to me like that?" Guo Zun bowed his head and said, "I dare not. I just act loyally." Li Zunxu yelled: "Guo Zun is so bold that he is rude to the Queen Mother! Come!" Without waiting to say more, the Queen Mother Liu shouted behind the curtain: "Li Duwei! When can you issue orders for me?" Li Zunxu just wanted to flatter, not want to hit the horse's hooves, so he hurriedly said: "I'm in a hurry, please forgive me, Queen Mother." Changchun Palace fell silent, breathing could be heard.Empress Dowager Liu seemed to be panting heavily behind the curtain, and said after a long time: "Okay, very good! Guo Zun...you are very loyal." Guo Zun didn't wait for an answer, but heard someone from the palace report: "Queen Mother, Yezhi Qiuye of Kaifeng Mansion is waiting outside the palace." Empress Dowager Liu said: "Let him come in." Ye Zhiqiu walked in lightly, and after saluting, the queen mother said: "Ye Zhiqiu, how have you investigated the destruction of the Buddha statue in Daxiangguo Temple?" Guo Zun's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of Wulong, feeling vaguely uneasy.He had no shame in his heart, but he only made decisions about Wulong without authorization, and even begged Ye Zhiqiu not to take Wulong away from Di Qing. The Queen Mother asked, could it be that... Guo Zun didn't think about it, nor did he hope to tell Ye Zhiqiu.I heard Ye Zhiqiu say word by word: "Queen Mother, Wulong has disappeared." Zhao Zhen is holding the wine glass, but he doesn't drink. He has other things to do tonight, so of course he won't get drunk first.The guards didn't dare to drink too much, they all ate their food, waiting for Zhao Zhen's order. How many people have thought in their hearts, the Holy Majesty's expression is serious, is it true that he really wants to deal with the Queen Mother? But Di Qing thought in his heart that the Holy Majesty put filial piety first, and he would not speak ill of Empress Dowager Liu on weekdays. He still doesn't know that Empress Dowager Liu is not his biological mother, so he will not risk being scolded by the world to harm the Empress Dowager.But if he didn't deal with the queen mother, what would he do if he left the guards in the palace? I don't know how long it took, the candles in the palace turned on and off, and Zhao Zhen saw that the sky was thick with clouds, but the thunder was rare. There was anxiety in his eyes, and he suddenly said: "I have a biological mother and a foster mother. Already know?" Everyone nodded, but they didn't understand what the emperor was going to say. Zhao Zhendao: "My biological mother and adoptive mother, both of them have been so kind to me. I am grateful for the kindness of the two queen mothers. I will not be disrespectful to them in my life. If you meet the two queen mothers in the future, You must take care of it and don't offend." All the guards were stunned, but said in unison: "Observe the order." Zhao Zhen nodded, before saying anything else, an eunuch rushed over and said anxiously: "My lord, it's not good, the empress lost her temper in the harem, and even lit the curtains of the bedroom, causing a big fire." Everyone was startled, they got up suddenly, and only waited for Zhao Zhen's order to rush to put out the fire.Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Let them put out the fire, follow the queen to make trouble, don't hinder us from drinking." The eunuch hesitated, Zhao Zhen shouted: "Aren't you going to retreat?" The eunuch didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly retreated.Zhao Zhen picked up the wine glass, just said: "Come, drink." The guards had no choice but to hold up their wine glasses to make a show, thinking to themselves that the Holy Majesty really doesn't have the slightest conjugal affection for Queen Guo, and if the Queen's palace is on fire, it stands to reason that they should greet her.But these are all buried in the bottom of my heart, who dares to say more? Zhao Zhen asked suddenly: "Have you all married wives?" Some of the guards said they were married, some said they were not, and there was a commotion for a while.Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "If you marry a wife and have a son, remember to report your name in the future. Those who don't have a wife will go to the internal treasury tomorrow to receive fifty taels of silver, which will be my congratulatory gift." All the guards were overjoyed, those who had married wives knew that if they signed up, no matter how old their sons were, they would be able to live on a salary.Those who are not married think, although the amount of fifty taels of silver is quite a lot, the key is the gift from the Holy One, which is really an indescribable glory. Zhao Zhen tried his best to win over these people, but he had other intentions. Seeing that Wang Gui had remained silent, he asked, "Wang Sanzhi, what about you? Do you have someone in mind?" Wang Yu said: "The Huns are not destroyed, so why do they do it?" Everyone fell silent, only feeling that there was an indescribable passion in these plain words.It turns out that this sentence was originally what Huo Qubing said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in trouble, Huo Qubing attacked the Huns several times.Although the Xiongnu were in decline during the Song Dynasty, the Khitan rose again in northern Xinjiang, and the party members in the northwest frequently fought wars. Wang Gui's intention was to get rid of these forces before getting married. Zhao Zhen's heart was agitated, and he said with a smile: "It's rare that Wang Qing's family has such ambitions. If I am in power, I will definitely use you and others to beat the rebels!" Turning to look at Di Qing, he said: "Di Qing, do you have someone in mind? ?” Di Qing said with a smile: "I don't have Wang Sanzhi's ambition, but I already have someone I like." Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "It's fine if you don't get married, and it's good if you get married. If it's true that Fanbang can't be destroyed, don't you want to marry for the rest of your life? Who is your favorite? Do I know him?" Di Qing said: "She is a commoner girl, and I think the Holy Majesty probably doesn't know her." Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will bring it to the palace for me to see. I want to see which good girl you can deceive." Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere in the palace eased a lot for a while.Di Qing also smirked, her heart full of sweetness. Zhao Zhen smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He thought that as long as she was a woman in this world, she might be better than Queen Guo.Can't help but look in the direction of Changchun Palace, Zhao Zhen thought to himself, it has been so long, how is Guo Zun's side?Reaching out to touch the heavenly book in his arms, Zhao Zhen's expression showed a trace of nervousness. At this moment, someone from the palace entered the room and reported: "Sign up to the Holy Majesty, the Eighth Prince asks to see you." Empress Dowager Liu heard about Wulong's whereabouts, she was moved and said, "Where is Wulong?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't look at Guo Zun, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the person who damaged the Buddha statue in Daxiangguo Temple was called Yeyue Feitian. This person was originally a subordinate of Wang Yuanhao of Xiping, and he was also the number one master of Yasha in the Eight Parts of Heaven." Empress Dowager Liu frowned and said, "I don't care who he is, I just ask you where is Wulong?" She didn't shy away from it, because she knew that Guo Zun also knew about Wulong. Ye Zhiqiu remained expressionless, and said, "Yueyue Feitian attacked Yongding Mausoleum, Commander Guo killed him. I didn't find Wulong from Yeyue Feitian's body." Guo Zun suddenly felt that Ye Zhiqiu's words were clever. Ye Zhiqiu did not lie to Empress Dowager Liu. What he said and what Empress Dowager Liu wanted to ask were completely different things. Empress Dowager Liu said: "So... the five dragons are in Yuan Hao's hands? Why does Yuan Hao want the five dragons too?" She had no interest in the five dragons at first, but the Wulong sect was not empty, and Yuan Hao asked for the five dragons. Sending people to steal it secretly shows that there must be a lot of mystery in the five dragons. While Empress Dowager Liu was talking to herself, Ye Zhiqiu waited quietly.After a while, Empress Dowager Liu said: "Ye Zhiqiu, I'm looking for you today, and I have other things to do." Ye Zhiqiu said respectfully: "Please order, Queen Mother." Guo Zun frowned. He came here for an extremely important matter, but it has been difficult to give advice.He was afraid that Zhao Zhen couldn't wait for the news, and if he came here, he might arouse Empress Dowager Liu's resentment.Suddenly seeing Ye Zhiqiu not moving and pointing his thumb at himself, Guo Zun breathed a sigh of relief and understood Ye Zhiqiu's intention. Of course Ye Zhiqiu knew what Guo Zun was going to say, he advised Guo Zun not to be in a hurry, and he would find a way to deal with it. Empress Dowager Liu said behind the curtain: "Some weird things have happened in the palace recently..." Before finishing speaking, someone from the palace reported again, "Empress Dowager, Qiu Minghao, the head arrester of Kaifeng Mansion, please see me." Guo Zun and Ye Zhiqiu were taken aback, wondering why Qiu Minghao came here late at night? Empress Dowager Liu said: "Call him in." For some reason, there was a faint tremor in her voice. When Qiu Minghao walked in, there was a look of panic on Rutie's face.Guo Zun was very surprised when he saw it.You must know that in the capital, the two "Ye Zhiqiu, who can discern the autumn hair" are both headhunters who have gone through a lot of wind and waves. Qiu Minghao may not be as famous as Ye Zhiqiu, but over the years, he has indeed solved many major cases. What else can he do? To confuse him? Qiu Minghao originally belonged to the Empress Dowager, so what was the Empress Dowager's plan when she called Qiu Minghao in? Qiu Ming didn't wait to salute, the queen mother said: "Excuse me. Qiu Minghao, you have been doing things in the palace, have you found anything?" Qiu Minghao's teeth trembled a little, and everyone could see the horror in his eyes. "Queen Mother, I didn't find anything. But..." "But what?" "When I was investigating the case, two maids died in the palace." Qiu Minghao said tremblingly. Empress Dowager Liu suddenly stood up behind the curtain, and said in a voiceless voice: "Two people died again, how is it possible?" There was also some fear in her voice. Ye Zhiqiu's face also changed color, he had only returned to Bianjing for a few days, and he didn't know anything about the palace.But from the few words he just said, he also knew that there was a death in the palace, so the queen mother asked Qiu Minghao to investigate the case. During the process of Qiu Minghao's investigation, two more people died in the palace. Who has the guts to attack people in the palace while Qiu Minghao is investigating the case?Why would someone kill a court lady?So why come? Although dead people are not a good thing, Qiu Ming will never be frightened by dead people, so what is he afraid of?The queen mother is also a calm person, even if the maid died, she shouldn't have been so flustered. Ye Zhiqiu and Guo Zun glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise. The thunder stopped unexpectedly, but the night sky was filled with thick clouds long ago. The originally resplendent and resplendent palace turned gray in the dark night, and the rain still hadn't fallen...
