Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Empress~~"

When Dai Quan saw Fan Zhixuan walking out alone, he bowed and saluted.

"Xiang Dai is loyal, which is good."

When Dai Quan heard this, he lowered his head even lower. Fan Zhixuan glanced sideways at the old eunuch, and then said to the palace maid next to her: "Go back to the palace!"

The palace maid and the nanny didn't dare to delay, so they hurried over to help.

After Dai Quan and the guards watched Fan Zhixuan leave, they glanced at the imperial study room. At this time, the door of the imperial study room had been opened.

But in the front hall, Dai Quan did not see the figure of Emperor Mingkang. After some calculations, he reached out and closed the door of the imperial study room again.

He didn't want to know what the emperor was doing. Since the emperor had already said that he was thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night, worshiping his ancestors and praying for the longevity of his country, then that must be it.

Whether he really did it or not, he didn't care, but there was only one voice outside, and that was the voice that Emperor Mingkang said.

And he didn't care what Emperor Mingkang said to the queen. He didn't care why the queen said he was loyal. What he could do was actually very simple, wasn't it?

He is the emperor's man. If he wants to live and live well, there is only one thing he can do, which is to be loyal to the emperor.

"Somebody come!"

Not long after, Emperor Mingkang's voice came from the imperial study.

Dai Quan quickly pushed open the door and entered, "Your Majesty, this old slave is here!"

"Drawing up the decree, Concubine Shu was assassinated, and she was escorted by the Royal Forest Army. She ordered the Criminal Department and the Jinyi Guards to investigate the matter and give me and the concubine an explanation."

When Dai Quan heard this, he cupped his fists and saluted, and slowly exited the imperial study. As for how the emperor knew about this, he already had a guess in his heart. The queen had just left.

After Dai Quan left, Emperor Mingkang looked at the map hanging on the wall and fell into deep thought again. The current chaos was really giving him a headache!

"emperor!!"

After about a cup of tea, a man in black suddenly appeared in the imperial study. He knelt on one knee behind Emperor Mingkang.

"Xu Yuantu, how is the situation?"

The person who came was none other than Xu Yuantu, the leader of the secret guard.

Emperor Mingkang did not turn around, he just asked. If you pay more attention, you will find that there is an unspeakable fluctuation in Emperor Mingkang's tone this time.

Of course, Xu Yuantu, as the commander of the secret guards, was a master in this aspect. In addition, there were only two of them in the room, so he clearly felt the strangeness in Emperor Mingkang's words.

Regarding this, he probably had some guesses in his mind.

He believed that Emperor Mingkang's feelings for the champion and this young man from the Jia family were extremely complicated.

To a certain extent, Jia Chu played a big role in making Emperor Ming Kang what he is today. Of course, this does not mean that the other party personally helped Emperor Ming Kang eliminate his opponents, but that Jia Chu did a few things inadvertently. Everything brought great prestige to Emperor Mingkang and brought real benefits.

At this time, he was not sure whether Emperor Mingkang really wanted Jia Qi to be alive or hoped that he had been killed.

"We have searched the inside and outside of the Duke Rongguo's Mansion, the Duke Ningguo's Mansion, and the Provincial Courtyard, but nothing was found."

"In the end, a wave of attacks and killings was organized, but the champion still did not show up. According to the speculation of his subordinates, Lord Jia Hou may have really been killed."

Xu Yuantu didn't hide anything and told them everything they did. Anyway, there was nothing to hide about these things. If he didn't tell them, the emperor would call other secret guards and they would tell them.

"That's it~~" Emperor Mingkang sighed, released his hands behind his back, and then held each other in front of him. It was obvious that Emperor Mingkang was not indifferent to the news.

"No one should say anything about this."

After Emperor Mingkang was silent for a moment, he spoke again.

He actually doesn't have much emotion when a person leaves. The emperor of the world, who can decide life and death with just one word, never pays attention to these ridiculous emotions, but today he was deeply touched.

After all, people are different.

"Is there any news from Zhili, Hebei?"

Regarding the information about the feudal king's rebellion and fighting, there is a passage on the Ministry of War side, and there is also a passage on the secret guard side, and generally the secret guard side is faster.

"this."

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuantu spoke again.

"The Dongping Niwang's troops were indeed blocked in Zhili, Hebei. They were no match for the Snow Dragon Cavalry in a land battle, so after seeing that the situation was not good, the Dongping Niwang retreated their troops to the canal. The Snow Dragon Cavalry's offensive was blocked. Time is stuck there.”

Emperor Mingkang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. It seemed that the answer was not unacceptable to him. He had seen the combat power of the Snow Dragon Cavalry with his own eyes, but in his opinion, that force could defeat the enemy in just one day. After all, the biggest weapon for the cavalry to penetrate Jiangnan is firearms.

At the moment, he had expected to be able to prevent King Dongping from coming ashore. It was normal for him to lose a water battle after losing such a big killer like a firearm.

If the Snow Dragon Riders were still invincible without such a powerful weapon as the Thunderbolt Bullet, then he would have to consider whether to keep this powerful team.

"What's going on at the Champion House?"

Emperor Mingkang asked again.

Xu Yuantu continued to reply: "The specific matters of the Hou Mansion have not been determined yet, but it can be determined from the daily expenditure activities of the Hou Mansion. The activities within the Hou Mansion should be as usual, and there are not many changes."

As for the inability to place spies in the Hou Mansion, Emperor Mingkang had long known that he did not blame Xu Yuantu too much for what he said, and then he waved his hand.

"You go down first! Call all the people from the Jia Mansion back! If you are caught, go directly to the prison to arrest them. I will ask Dai Quan to give you a secret edict."

Xu Yuantu clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. All the secret guards have been pulled out. However, this action has frightened the Imperial Concubine. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Mingkang didn't reply immediately when he heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Are Xu Yuantu's words necessary?

In fact, it is very necessary to say it. No matter how you say it, the imperial concubine is the emperor's woman. She is the emperor's bastard. It is unjustifiable for a group of bastards to bully the emperor's woman. Even if it is the emperor's will, then they will end up with it. Is the executor.

If this causes a knot in the emperor's heart, it will be an invisible bomb for him and the entire secret guard in the future.

"Go get a hundred lashes."

Emperor Mingkang did not do anything, but punished him a little. He knew that if Xu Yuantu was not punished, he might not be able to sleep, and this matter was ultimately his intention, so he just beat him. Hundreds of whips.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

"Go down!"
