The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 462 Puzzled

When the westerly wind blows, the ginkgo in the cold city sheds its first golden leaves.There is already a faint autumn color in the Beirong Palace.

Ning Xizhao sat in the Xuanzheng Hall to meet the ministers of the DPRK and China who reported their work.

As usual, before winter, the imperial court would make some routine adjustments to officials. Ning Xizhao reviewed the adjustment plan submitted by the Ministry of Officials, and there was nothing wrong with it. Only the transfer of Xun Zheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, to Danzhou as the governor of the state caused a lot of trouble. His attention.

Ning Xizhao asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "A servant of the Ministry of Rites has been a civil servant all his life, and he was transferred to Danzhou to become the governor of the state with military and political unity. Is this what Your Majesty means?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials replied: "Xunzheng's wife, the Luqiu family, came from the family of the former emperor's mother. Your majesty did this to show sympathy for the Xun family and the Luqiu family."

"Luqiu's family..." Ning Xizhao sensitively sensed that Miaomiao's move was unusual, but even if he felt strange, he couldn't stop it without reason.So he said to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "I haven't thought about the adjustment of officials yet, you go back first, and this list will stay with me first."

"Yes." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials exited the Xuanzheng Hall respectfully.

Ning Xizhao took the list and paced in the Xuanzheng Hall thinking, and then he called Wu Ya and asked, "As far as you know, apart from the marriage relationship between the Xun family in Qingzhou and the Luqiu family, what's so special about it?"

Wu Ya respectfully stood with his hands down and replied: "Xun Zheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is conservative and cautious. Everyone comes from gentle and dignified backgrounds, and their husbands and sons rarely show their faces. The entire Xun family has a strict family style, and they are also willing to do good, and they are well-received in Qingzhou."

Hearing Wu Ya's report, Ning Xizhao thought, perhaps, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials said, Ning Miao just sympathized with the Xun family for his promotion.But Ning Xizhao couldn't figure out why the 34 state capitals of Quanrong Kingdom must be so far away from Danzhou in the South China Sea.However, the Xun family had a close relationship with Luqiu's family. Ning Xizhao would never believe that this matter had nothing to do with Qin Wan.

He killed all the people Ning Miao sent to Zoucheng, Ning Miao will definitely not stand still and fight back.

"What's unusual about Your Majesty recently?" Ning Xizhao asked.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Zhao, His Majesty has seen the people from An Yousi." Wu Ya replied.

"A man of strong food, An Yousi..." Ning Xizhao folded his arms and frowned in thought.

As the largest espionage department of Rong Guo Chaotang, Anyou Division appears to be under the direct jurisdiction of Ning Miao, but the actual control is completely in the hands of Lie Xian.Lie Xie, on the other hand, considered himself an old minister of Nanliang, never loyal to the royal family of the Rong Kingdom, and only acted on Qin Wan's order. All these years, Lie Xie had only obeyed Qin Wan's order to assist Ning Miao.But now that Qin Wan showed up, Lie Xie and the entire Anyou Division immediately became Qin Wan's most powerful subordinates. No one knew how far Anyou Division had developed over the years, how powerful it was, and whether it had taken root in Rong Kingdom's court. how deep.

However, a few days ago, An Yousi, who had been silent for many years and had never been involved in the affairs of the court, suddenly took action and destroyed the four big families in Donghai Prefecture in one fell swoop in less than seven days, which shows his strength and power.If it wasn't for Qin Wan's instigation, it would be impossible for anyone else to direct Anyou Division to carry out such a large operation.

Regarding the reason for Qin Wan's attack, Ning Xizhao got a tip that these girls provoked Qin Wan in public in the Yunxia Academy and said a few contemptuous words, which made Qin Wan quite displeased.Immediately afterwards, the families of these girls were instantly wiped out.

That is to say, as long as Qin Wan has Lie Xian alone, he is enough to control the entire Rong Kingdom court.Lie Xian is a dagger that she left in the Rong State regime when she left. As long as Qin Wan returns, she can use Lie Xian to control the entire court at any time and control the lifeline of the country.

And it was obvious that Ning Miao was determined to return the dagger to Qin Wan.She did this for two purposes. One was to protect Qin Wan, and the other was to prevent Ning Xizhao from taking any easy actions. What he could do was only to monitor, but he absolutely could not take any controlling actions against Qin Wan.

But in this way, Ning Miao, not to mention sending Qin Wan out of the country, or even planting eyeliners next to her, depends on Qin Wan's willingness.

At the same time, Ning Xizhao also understood very well that the lives of the people he placed in Yunxia Academy were all in Qin Wan's hands at this moment.As long as Qin Wan gives an order, these eyeliners will never survive the sunrise the next day.

After such an analysis, Ning Xizhao suddenly wanted to understand that when Anyousi saw Ning Miao, it was definitely not what Ning Miao wanted to assign to Anyousi, but what Qin Wan wanted Ning Miao to do.

And what Qin Wan asked Ning Miao to do might be what Xun Zheng was transferred to.

But what is the reason?
Ning Xizhao was puzzled.

If it is sympathy, why did Mu Luqiu Sagara of Donghai Prefecture not be mentioned at all in this transfer?
Wuya stood aside and watched Ning Xizhao frowned and thought. He breathed in silently, wondering whether he should tell the other information he had.Don't say that you didn't report what you knew, but you might lose your life if you say it.

Wuya hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "His Royal Highness, this subordinate suddenly remembered something."

"What?" Ning Xizhao asked with a bad complexion.

"It is said that Xun Zheng has two sons who are also studying at Yunxia Academy." Wuyahui reported.

Ning Xizhao's expression froze: "Go ahead!"

Wu Ya: "These two young masters went to Penglai during the summer vacation and lived in Luqiu's mansion. At that time, Empress Qin's empress had been the maidservant of these two young masters, and she had a good relationship with these two young masters."

Ning Xizhao was furious: "Presumptuous!"

Wuya knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "His Royal Highness Zhao made atonement, and this subordinate is telling the truth, and has no intention of slandering the empress. However, it is reported that the second son Xun once drew a picture when he participated in the entrance essay contest. Danqing, the woman above is the Empress Qin."

Ning Xizhao was unforgivably angry, and shouted: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Wu Ya didn't dare to raise his head and replied: "Reporting to His Royal Highness King Zhao, I didn't think much about it at first, after all, after the empress won the first place in the school music competition, she won the favor of many school disciples, and there are quite a few people who admire her." And the empress is very low-key in the school, except for the frequent contacts with the young lady of the Luqiu family, Luqiu Houhou, she has never had any interaction with anyone, and she has never had much contact with these two young masters... So... "

Ning Xizhao said angrily: "Who do you think she is, she knows that someone is watching, so she will take precautions in everything she does, and once she takes precautions, your people will not be able to find anything at all."

Wu Ya's whole body was trembling: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish His Royal Highness King Zhao."

Ning Xizhao said in a cold voice, "Go and investigate, let me find out about the Xun brothers!"

"Subordinates go now!" Wu Ya took the order and quickly retreated.

Ning Xizhao slammed his fist against the wall, and blood flowed from his joints instantly.

He never thought that Qin Wan would fall in love with someone else.He thought that after Emperor Ning's soul was gone, there would be no competitor in this world who could compete with him to snatch Qin Wan.But now he realizes that if she really lets go of Emperor Ning's death, then the world will be full of competitors.

Qin Wan may not belong to him, but she will never be allowed to belong to others.

Ning Xizhao suddenly realized that in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he wanted to hide her in a place where no one could find her, so that she belonged to him only.
