Ye Qingxuan and Zong Xuan followed all the way, and the two scholars who were dressed as Yingzhou ninjas didn't go back to the Yingzhou Hotel directly, but ate and drank in a tavern to enjoy themselves.
Ye Qingxuan and Zong Xuan waited for more than an hour, and suddenly heard the inn waiter exclaimed, and quickly flew into the tavern.
The two Yingzhou warriors were bleeding from their seven orifices and died of poison.
Ye Qingxuan immediately showed the token of Shence Mansion to the shopkeeper, and sealed off the private room of the tavern.
Without further ado, Zong Xuan picked up the jug and smelled it, "The crane's top is red."
Ku Tong, Ku Tong, the shopkeeper and the waiter were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. They wanted to explain that it had nothing to do with them, but they were too scared to speak and could only kowtow.
Zong Xuan let out a cold snort, went up and kicked away the two people who were trembling like sifting chaff, only searched the dead body, then took out the same small porcelain bottle, and said coldly: "The dead. They committed suicide."
Even without the two following them, they would not have survived.
Ye Qingxuan's face sank like water. "Damn it, it's ruthless enough."
Zong Xuan sneered, and said: "People who were poisoned to death by the 'Sakura Rain Divine Water' have obvious death characteristics. They want to use this to get rid of suspicion...it is impossible."
Ye Qingxuan agreed: "Just because of the reappearance of the 'Sakura Rain Divine Water', we can directly question Mr. Jun Xing of the East Court. The question is... what is the other party trying to cover up? Peng Daosheng's words are almost out of line Explain the matter clearly. The Concubine Meng was dropped by someone to get close to the late emperor and give birth to the Seventh Prince. And it was the Yingzhou shogunate who covered up the truth. Then it can be inferred that the person pretending to be Concubine Meng is likely to be It is Yingzhou's spy who uses the Seventh Prince who is of Yingzhou's blood to seize the throne of the Central Plains. If the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, Yingzhou's benefit will not only be a corner of the East China Sea."
What a big move!
Ye Qingxuan was also frightened by his guess at this moment.
"No wonder the Seventh Prince has jumped up and down so much recently. It turns out that they are going to do something." Zong Xuan looked solemn, and then he said in doubt: "But it is Fengyi Pavilion who supports His Majesty's ascension to the throne. Unless there is some special reason, why should Zhuo Huifan abolish it?" Emperor reestablished?"
Ye Qingxuan nodded, and said: "Without the support of Fengyi Pavilion, I am afraid that it will not be easy for the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne. Zhuo Huifan is not stupid. No matter how good the reasons for abolishing the emperor are, if she really does this, she will definitely be punished." Even Bai Daozhong's influence will plummet, which will be detrimental to her future ambitions."
"Since Zhuo Huifan doesn't know how to act, what support does the Yingzhou shogunate have?"
Zong Xuan's question caused both of them to fall into silence at the same time.
After a few breaths, Zong Xuan couldn't help asking, "What should we do now? The Twelve Elders will disappear, and His Majesty will be involved again..."
Ye Qingxuan frowned in thought, finally sighed, and said slowly: "The matter is very important, I will take you to face the saint immediately."
Zong Xuan nodded solemnly, and when Ye Qingxuan turned his head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
…
"How dare the traitor do this, how dare he do this?"
The report of Ye Qingxuan and Zongxuan made Huangfu Taixin turn pale with shock, like ants on a hot pot, wandering around in place.
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do if the Yingzhou shogunate proposes some attractive conditions to make Fengyi Pavilion abolish me and establish a new emperor? What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, don't panic."
At the critical moment, the old man came forward to stabilize the situation, "Your Majesty inherited the ancestral rule, complied with the will of the people, and is admired by all people. Even if Fengyi Pavilion is a supernatural sect in the world, it does not have the power and qualification to abolish the emperor and re-establish it."
"My old man, now I am the emperor, relying on strength, not qualification." Huangfu Taixin pointed to his nose with a sad face and shouted: "Once the Yingzhou shogunate and Fengyi Pavilion collude, how can we rely on strength?" Xiao Wang? Without the Fengyi Pavilion, what else do I have?"
"Your Majesty still has us!" Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and said, "Fengyi Pavilion is not the only transcendent faction in the world..."
Huangfu Taixin was taken aback for a moment, and then he said happily: "Yes, yes, there is also the Sansheng Island of the second brother. Second brother, second brother, can I ask the three saints on the island to support me publicly? It is fine to have one of the three saints of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. .”
Ye Qingxuan's head is as big as a bucket, but fortunately he has already thought up his lines, and replied with a smile: "At the critical moment, I will naturally ask the old man Sansheng to face the saint, but at this time, with our strength, it is enough What's more, Zhuo Huifan won't be so stupid as to shoot himself in the foot with a stone."
"How do you say that?" Huangfu Taixin was so anxious that he lost his mind. "I've obviously had a lot of trouble with Pavilion Master Zhuo lately, so I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for her to help me out at this time."
For a long time, Huangfu Taixin had always aimed to get rid of the shackles of Fengyi Pavilion with all his strength, but he did not expect to rely on the support of Fengyi Pavilion to keep the throne, which really made him a little embarrassed.
The old man smiled and said: "Because your majesty is enthroned by Zhuo Huifan's support, if she backtracks, it will not only make people think that she is fickle, but also shows that she does not know people well and has a problem with her vision. It will greatly damage her prestige."
Zong Xuan believed in himself. "The subject thinks that as long as the people in the Yingzhou shogunate are not stupid, they won't cooperate with Zhuo Huifan in this matter."
Huangfu Taixin was overjoyed. "So, I can sit back and relax?"
The old man smiled and said: "It's not too emotional and reasonable, Your Majesty will have a talk with Zhuo Huifan, especially to explain the conspiracy of the Yingzhou shogunate, please support Master Zhuo."
"This... Let me think about it carefully." Before, he had a cold confrontation with Fengyi Pavilion, but now it's really hard for Huangfu Taixin to ask Zhuo Huifan.
"More importantly—" Ye Qingxuan said with a serious face, "People in Yingzhou must not be trusted, whether it is Lord Dongyuan or Yuan Laizhou, one thing is in the face, and the other is in the back, your majesty must not." We believe in their promises, pretending to be snakes on the surface, but we must be prepared, and at the critical moment, we will kill them all at all costs."
"Second brother is right."
Huangfu Taixin nodded firmly, and at the same time shifted his gaze to Zongxuan, and said happily: "I have heard of Zong Aiqing's name for a long time, but I didn't expect that he is my second brother's best friend. It is so kind. As long as I do my best, I will not hesitate to reward you. Now the punishment What is the title of Tingwei?"
Zong Xuan took half a step forward and said respectfully: "Your servant is one of Xing Tingwei's twelve general arrests."
"The position is too low."
Huangfu Taixin turned his head and said to her husband fairly: "Prepare an order for me to promote Zongxuan to be the deputy head of Xing Tingwei, and to be a third-rank official."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Zong Xuan was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Huangfu Taixin regained his confidence, and said in a deep voice: "This matter will be handled by the three of you together, so I must rest easy."
"Follow the order."
