Black Moonlight, after her robbery

Chapter 331 Government Affairs
Expelling the worms and taking captives was such an important matter. No matter how little news there was in the capital, the battle situation in the north was still transmitted to the palace city. Xiang soldiers retreated from the city. The two countries were waiting for renegotiation. It was time for the King of Qin to return to the court, but he could return. Zhou Zhang has not been seen for a long time. For the sensitive and suspicious emperor, this is like being stabbed.

Until one day trip Cunxu replied anxiously, saying that his two young masters had lost contact for a long time.

This undoubtedly gave Liu Xi a bolt from the blue. If the King of Qin learned from those two people that the uprising in Xiang State was a conspiracy of the late emperor, and that the ceremonial guards in the north were powerful, how could the King of Qin return to the court calmly? I'm just afraid something big will happen!
Immediately he stood up from the dragon chair, swinging his cuffs from side to side, "No wonder the war has subsided, but I have been unable to receive the memorial from the North. Could this King of Qin be rebelling against me?"

The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became, and an unstoppable thought came to his mind, "Li Guang...Li Guang! Go, let the imperial army go. The Qin Prince's Mansion and the Shi Mansion are surrounded! I want to see if the King of Qin is still alive." How dare you!"

At that time, Yu Huan listened outside the palace for a long time, but after hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but rush out trembling, bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty! No! Please think again!"

Liu Xi's face turned dark immediately, "You need to interfere with government affairs, and you are still a member of the Shi family. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. You don't know!"

Yuhuan gradually calmed down and began to explain word for word, "Of course I know, and I also know that once you join the royal family, there is no family. This advice is not from the standpoint of the Shi family, but from the standpoint of His Majesty." Stand!"

She raised her eyes and looked at him, "Your Majesty, think about it, this is because the military's morale is unstable, and it's even harder to fathom King Qin's thoughts. If he rashly surrounded the Shi family and King Qin's palace, even if nothing happened, he would be facing each other with swords. At this moment, you can no longer provoke King Qin!"

Liu Xi's throat was on fire, burning him to the point of dryness, "So what! Am I afraid of him?"

Yu Huan nodded and admitted, "Yes, you are the co-owner of the world, so naturally you are not afraid. However, the war has just subsided, and it is the time when King Qin's achievements are high. Now King Qin's weight in the hearts of the people is probably higher than yours, so you are rash to deal with it now." A meritorious minister will make thousands of people feel chilled! You will make people think that you are a person who repays kindness with revenge! Even if Your Majesty doesn't care what the King of Qin thinks, you have to care about the long words of the people in the world..."

You Cunxu turned around with deep understanding, "This statement...Shi Guibi's words are reasonable."

"So your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's advice," Yu Huan Yiyi stepped forward, "Before that, Your Majesty should liquidate the forces in the capital and ensure that there are many people in the capital who can be used by us, so as to make plans for subsequent events."

Liu Xi pointed to the north, "Except for Huyanyan in the north, what kind of influence does King Qin have in Beijing? What kind of climate can some civil servants and Confucian scholars achieve?"

Yu Huan's voice was thin and sharp, piercing Liu Xi's vaguely twitching nerves, "But many things are not as simple as they seem. The reason why King Qin can safely lead his troops to the north, and the reason why my sister can escape safely, This means that even though the two of them are away from here, they are still disconnected from the capital. If there is no power here, how could the reinforcements arrive by such a coincidence? "

She thought about it for a moment and finally blurted out, "You probably don't know many things. The leading general Kong Sheng is my sister's old friend. Otherwise, you would think that Kong Sheng would be like that for the King of Qin when there was a coup in the Xiangjun palace, and he was just a confidant." That’s all.”

She didn't know these things at first, but the night before her sister left, she saw with her own eyes Wenxiu and Yang Xuexin plotting something. Out of curiosity, she asked Gu Fang's spies to pay attention secretly. Sure enough, one day Yang Xuexin left the palace and went straight there. Kong Sheng's General Mansion.

Suddenly losing the two powerful forces of Zhong Lingjun and Feng Cha Supervisor, the dilemma she faced was greater than she thought, and her good sister was hidden even deeper.

These words suddenly pierced the most vulnerable part of Liu Xi's heart. He couldn't help but sit down decadently, his eyes red and almost bleeding, "Kong Sheng..."

"I'm afraid that's not the end of it," Yu Huan clenched her teeth and said it out loud, "Guo Xiuzhi, the supervisor of the imperial army, the three prefectures and one division in Beijing, and even the tea supervisor may not be completely sincere at this moment. As the saying goes, 'You must first fight against foreigners. Anne', Your Majesty, you have to think about these things."

She silently glanced at You Cunxu and said, "As for the two young masters of the You family, please forgive me for talking too much. Rather than endangering your dignity by talking about it, why don't you issue a criminal edict: 'The two sons of the You family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, committed adultery and violated the law, and ordered "Notify the world and punish him with a cut in half. As for Master You, he is not aware of it, so he may be sentenced to death in order to stop the world from talking about it."

"Sentencing?" Liu Xi's expression changed, and he glanced at the old minister suspiciously, "Isn't it a sin that the late emperor's plan was turned into this by you?"

There was a moment of silence, but a decisive killing sound fell on my ears, "You Cunxu - let's go to the prison together!" You Cunxu suddenly raised his head and looked blankly into those once childish and innocent eyes, "Your Majesty ...Your Majesty, you——"

Liu Xi continued to urge: "Take him down quickly!"

Even Yu Huan was dumbfounded by this decision. Even though this aloof old minister had some unscrupulous methods and was caught by others, his sincerity towards the late emperor and Liu Xi was clear even to her, an outsider.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel pity, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, he is your teacher after all, and he is also an important minister assigned to you by the late emperor. If you do this... will you..."

Liu Xi turned his eyes and looked at Xiaoxiao in the end, "If we spare him lightly, who will bear the charge of treason? Should I, the emperor, bear the responsibility? Then it can only be him!"

After he finished speaking, he just stared at her, as if trying to find a hint of proof on her face, "As you said, 'Once you enter the royal family, there is no family.' Don't let me down, and don't forget that you were once a member of the royal family." What did I say - know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle, even if the other person is your biological sister, you will not show mercy, right?"

After two moments of silence, a trace of daze passed quietly under Yu Huan's eyes, she lowered her head silently and responded: "As long as your majesty trusts me, I will do everything you can for your majesty."

But what to do? Liu Xi had posed a big problem for her. Even if she could understand her sister, she would still feel guilty if she really came into contact with her.

But if she doesn't think about it, her life will stop here.

After returning to the palace, Xue Yan gently combed her hair with a comb and asked, "Your Majesty won't care about the Shi family anymore, will you?"

Yuyao just sighed along her hair, "I can only say that the Shi family has been saved for now. I don't know what will happen in the future. Let's take it one step at a time. It's just..."

She hesitated, feeling her heart go cold, "You and his son are so loyal to him that they can even do such scandalous things for him, but he is so ruthless. At first, I was afraid that His Majesty You Cunxu might not agree with the sentencing and punishment. No. Thinking that...he is actually more ruthless than me. How can it not make people shudder?"

Then he shook his head blankly and said, "No more talking. Looking back, think about who else in the capital can make good use of it. The top priority is to get an accurate picture of the situation in the capital. If something unexpected happens, at least there are still people to check and balance."

Hearing this, Xue Yan sighed and said: "Inside the palace wall, apart from the forbidden army, there is the Imperial Forest Army. Outside the palace, there are nothing more than the Central Leading Army and the Central Guarding Army. Since the death of King Nanyang, the Hussars Battalion has been integrated into the Central Leading Army. The two If we compare the army, Kong Sheng is stronger than the Central Guard Army, and if we calculate the garrison garrison around the capital, only the tiger talisman in His Majesty's hand can be mobilized, the total number of these troops is only 200,000."

Yu Huan relaxed slightly, took the tea cup and moistened her swollen lips, and coughed lightly, "Now that King Qin's morale is strong, and he is surrounded by elite soldiers and strong generals, the 200,000 garrison is more dangerous. Shi Fang is unreliable, Huo Huo Not to mention Fang, just Gu Fang’s power roaming the capital is really..."

Without saying anything, he smiled, and his eyes suddenly moved, "Maybe I should go pay homage to another person."

Xue Yan was helplessly stunned, "Who?"

Yu Huan didn't say anything, she just leaned on the hidden bag and thought about it carefully.

I will update it every day after I adjust my schedule. I was so tired when I first arrived in Beijing.
