Chapter 200 Prick Your Ears and Listen Together
The cold wind was piercing and the weather was freezing, so Zong Zehong hurried to the imperial study room.

In the imperial study room, two military generals and a civil servant had been waiting for a long time with solemn faces.

"What's the rush?"

Zong Zehong stroked the blown hair of the little fox in his arms, sat on the dragon chair, and looked down at the group of people.

Ye Xing, Li De, and Bai Fangyuan knelt down and saluted, and then Ye Xing came out first and reported the truth.

"Your Majesty, King Anwu's heavy troops stationed at the border are secretly stationed in the hundred-mile mountain pass outside Zongyuehuang City."

After finishing speaking, Li De folded his fists and bent over, saying solemnly: "Weiyang Palace often invites troupes to perform in the palace recently, but I found out that the Queen Mother is secretly using this method to get in touch with King Anwu."

"And the emperor." Ye Xing hurriedly stood up and added, "My minister received a secret report that King Anwu and the Queen Mother secretly colluded, but there is insufficient evidence to further verify it."

Ni Ling could feel the haze slowly spreading from Zong Zehong's body.

The purple eyes were innocently opened, and when he looked up, Zong Zehong's eyes were frighteningly cold, and his aura was even more frighteningly gloomy.

Although she didn't fully understand what Ye Xing said to the general-looking man, she could vaguely hear that the Queen Mother and King Anwu were doing something bad that made Zong Zehong unhappy.

Suddenly, Bai Fangyuan also stood up and told the truth he knew.

"Your Majesty, it's not just what General Ye and General Li said, but the old minister accidentally found out among the people a few days ago that someone in Prince Anwu's mansion was openly selling the treasures in the palace. It was leaked out, but exactly how it was transported out of the palace, the veteran does not know, but this matter must have something to do with the Empress Dowager."

"King Anwu is selling things in my palace?"

There was coldness in Zong Zehong's eyes, and his low and cold voice was full of coldness, which made people tremble.

"Yes."

"Or did it flow out from the Treasure Pavilion?"

"Yes!"

"Have you verified it?" Zong Zehong asked coldly.

"No one is allowed to enter the Zhenbao Pavilion without the emperor's personal permission. That's why the veteran came to tell the emperor that he hoped that the emperor would go to the Zhenbao Pavilion to see it in person."

Zong Zehong responded coldly, agreeing with Master Bai's suggestion.

However, the problem came again.

General Li frowned in confusion, "Why does King Anwu want to sell the treasures in the palace?"

Both Ye Xing and Bai Fangyuan were taken aback, only Zong Zehong who was seated on the dragon chair knew the original.

"What do soldiers need most?" The timid cold voice got deeper and deeper.

All three of them suddenly realized, and said in unison: "Silver taels!"

Weapons, food, military pay, and various expenses all require large sums of silver.

"Oh! That old fox King Anwu wants to use the things in the palace to support his group of elite soldiers!"

Then why raise soldiers?Why is it secretly stationed in a mountain so close to the imperial city?

Why do you want to communicate secretly with the Queen Mother?If it is really a secret collusion, what is their purpose?
The imperial study room suddenly became quiet, except for Ni Ling, everyone's expressions were extremely heavy.

"The old woman wants to collude secretly with King Anwu, who holds a large army, and conspire against him. They want me to step down from the throne."

Zong Zehong listed everything in a calm and orderly manner, and the results he got were unbelievable, but he had to believe it.

"After King Anwu returned to the court, I ordered you two to keep an eye on the Queen Mother and King Wu's every move. That's why."

Zong Zehong's eyes were dark and unfathomable.

"Your Majesty expected this to happen a long time ago?" Bai Fangyuan was shocked, "Then what should we do now?"
