"Xiao'er, do you think the country is peaceful and the people are safe at the foot of the imperial city?"
After the banquet, Wu Zhuang did not let cloud break dawn to return to Yuan Shuai's house immediately, but let him accompany him to pick star upstairs.
Located in the southeast of the prince's East Palace, the star picking tower is the tallest building in the imperial palace. It is a five story Pagoda with eight treasures. Standing here, you can overlook the whole city of Kyoto.
In fact, you can't see the lights in the twilight, only those places for entertainment and fireworks are still shining.
Wu Zhuang's words with ulterior motives make cloud break dawn not know how to respond.
If so, now that foreign enemies are eyeing the court, where is it like the peace of the country and the peace of the people? To say no, he is dereliction of duty.
Just now he refused to marry Wu Zhuang. He must be very upset. At this moment, if he makes a mistake, he will be able to give him a lecture.
So he bowed deeply and said, "emperor Hong Fu Qi Tian, not only Kyoto City, but also the whole country."
Wu Zhuang glanced at him with a deep smile: "with Xiaoer guarding the mountains and rivers, I'm very relieved. I just don't know if Zi Di will be able to hold on to the throne."
Zi Di, Wu Zhuang Zi Di, today's East Palace prince.
Wu Zhuangzi was born by the empress. He was brave but not resourceful. His talent in all aspects was not particularly outstanding, so he was not happy with Wu Zhuangzi.
However, Wuzhuang had no other choice. The other princes were young, and the fourth prince was about the same age as Yun daoxiao, who was also a proton in Xiling.
At this time, Wu Zhuang mentioned the prince, and Yun dawning didn't know how to answer the question. After all, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that he didn't like the prince of the mean.
After thinking about it, Yun said, "the emperor has a good way of governing the country. Under your guidance, your Highness the prince will surely make Xishu more prosperous and powerful."
"Is it?" Wu Zhuang's face didn't smile. His eyes flashed coolly across the cloud Breaking Dawn's face. He said faintly, "Xiao'er will certainly help him then, won't he?"
With a look of awe at dawn, the cloud instantly understood what Wu Zhuang said. He cut Cao Zheng's head first and then sent the secret letter to the palace.
However, Wu Zhuang not only did not pursue the matter, but also asked Wang Zhen, the commander of the imperial palace imperial guards, to take over the matter and transfer back all the people sent by cloud Breaking Dawn.
Until now, all the people in the court except Yun dawning think that the Crown Princess Chen Ke died in an accident. No one knows that she committed suicide after being insulted by Cao Zheng.
Wu Zhuang didn't pursue this matter because he wanted to protect Princess Cao because he loved her son very much. But also afraid of the dawn, also did not blame him for the first act.
However, cloud Breaking Dawn didn't take it lightly. He knew that Cao Guifei and situ Feng were secretly colluding with each other and had been looking for real evidence to overthrow Cao Guifei.
Wu Zhuang must have heard a lot from Princess Cao. At this time, he deliberately came to test cloud Breaking Dawn to see his attitude towards the prince.
The empress and Princess Cao are mortal enemies. Although they are not favored, they are born nobly and have a stable foundation. They have joined hands with the ministers of the central court to form the crown prince party.
Wu Zhuang, on the other hand, most taboo this point.
He was afraid that someone would covet his country, because he had snatched it from others.
Cloud break dawn which can't guess his this idea, evade heavy to light way: "minister's responsibility is to guard this West Shu ten thousand li rivers and mountains, emperor and rest assured."
Wu Zhuang pointed to the brightly lit East Palace and said, "Xiao'er, you see, Zi Di can enjoy life very much. At this time, his palace is still singing and dancing."
This tone, the meaning of disgust.
Cloud break dawn didn't answer his words, looked up at the sky, said: "emperor, the night is deep, I send you back to the palace to rest?"
"It's late. Let's go. Are you going back to the government? If you don't come back, just rest in my side hall and come back tomorrow morning. "
"Thank you for your kindness. I have to go back to see the training of recruits. I won't stay here."
"Hehe, it's OK!" Wu Zhuang smoothed his beard, turned and went downstairs. As he walked, he said, "I heard that Su Ai Qing's son fell off his horse. Is it serious?"
The cloud breaks dawn, the heart sinks suddenly, and pretends as if nothing had happened and says: "back to the emperor, it's OK. You can recover after a few days' rest."
Wu Zhuang didn't say anything more. When he got down from the star picking tower, he went back to the palace on the chariot. Cloud break dawn did not follow in the past, looking at the shadow gradually disappearing in the night, his face was not good-looking.
After all the imperial guards retreated, Changfeng came up and asked, "general, shall we go back to the palace?"
"No, I'll go to the barracks and get the horses."
"Yes
It was midnight when the clouds came back to the barracks. All the soldiers in the camp have gone to sleep. Only the tent of a hundred Li is still on. He is leaning against the soft cave to read.
Watching the cloud come in at dawn, he didn't get up, but looked at him suspiciously: "why is the general so angry?"
Cloud breaks dawn, full of wind and rain: "who sent the story of Su Yin's horse fall to the palace? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to mention it?"
"Why?" Bai Li sat up and became more suspicious: "Ling Fei is responsible for this matter. Are you not at ease with him? It's certainly not from the camp. "
"It can't be a member of the Marshal's office. I told Qin Su that he was not allowed to tell. Someone in the army must have spread it on purpose."
In fact, it was not the emperor's knowledge of Su's injury but the emperor's eye liner in the army, but he did not know who it was.
Hundred Li is also cautious: "is the emperor afraid of you?"
"Not the beginning, but a long time."
Cloud broke dawn to think of Cao Guifei's "full bow easy to break", which also proves that Wu Zhuang has been wary of him, and very defensive.
Otherwise, he would not deliberately sing a song with Cao Guifei to point out his marriage.
That's not the point!
The key point is the twenty-eight spiritual tablets in the chamber of secrets, which is a very taboo thing in Wuzhuang. Who dares to mention the Zhenbei king who was killed in that year in the Manchu Dynasty will be dismissed or even lose his head.
But for so many years, Yun poxiao has been offering the throne of the king's family in the secret room of the bedroom. If Wu Zhuang knew, he would have copied the Marshal's house.
Hundred Li pondered for a long time, and then said: "if you think about it carefully, has someone around you spread it unintentionally? Ling Fei is reliable in his work. The news should not be spread from the barracks. "
"Who would that be?"
After thinking for a long time at dawn, Yun suddenly thinks of ah Dong who sneaks out of the house and Su Yin who sneaks into his secret room. His face suddenly sinks.
Could it be her?
She sneaked into the secret room and opened the dark grid. If he hadn't stopped her at that time, she might have seen the half moon jade wrapped in the brocade.
If she told anyone in the court about the secret room, he would not be protected.
Immediately cloud break dawn said: "hundred Li, you let Ling Fei secretly check, I go back to the house."
Hundred Li's face was inexplicable: "it's so late. Why do you rush back?"
"Maybe... Kill someone."
