Madam Gong grabbed the Prime Minister's arm and said, "Does the Prime Minister really want to enter the palace? If he goes, he might fall into a trap."

She was worried that the Prime Minister would never come back.

"There is no other way now. Resistance and disobedience are even more punishable by death." The prime minister said with a clear heart, "Don't worry, the emperor will not touch me for a while. Yunlan Kingdom and other surrounding countries will not be touched."

The small country is already plotting to attack the southern end. It is the time to recruit people, so the emperor can only endure it."

The Prime Minister was only annoyed that he had not made preparations in advance and was trapped in the capital, otherwise he would never have given in easily.

The only reason to blame for all this is that Chu Yunning was too treacherous and quietly plotted against himself.

It's not a gentleman not to take revenge, but for now, this debt can only be tolerated for the time being.

"Pack your things as soon as possible, take some light things with you, and leave the capital with a few children as soon as you have the chance. Without you being tied down, you are not afraid of anything!"

The Prime Minister was very reluctant and said that sooner or later he would let Chu Yunning have a taste of being on tenterhooks!

In desperation, Mrs. Gong could only nod her head: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang."

After saying this, the Prime Minister walked alone on the street, slowly walking towards the palace. He happened to meet the escort flag general halfway. The two stopped for a moment and looked at each other: "Is the Duke going to the palace?

"

It is a great honor for the prime minister to be promoted to the title of Duke and to inherit the title from generation to generation.

The Prime Minister glanced at General Biaoqi lightly: "I haven't congratulated General Protector yet. This is a real general."

Both of them saw the sarcasm in each other's eyes, and entered the palace side by side to thank the emperor. General Biaoqi said: "The Prime Minister's promise was not fulfilled before, which caused the emperor to be suspicious of Biaoqi Mansion, and we caused the Imperial Guards to suffer damage."

Quite a few, the emperor not only did not blame us, but promoted you and me, what does this mean?"

"General, why bother pretending to be confused? You are here to thank me."

The current Prime Minister doesn't believe anyone. How can he be sure whether General Biaoqi is an enemy or a friend? Maybe he was sent by the emperor to confuse him.

"Prime Minister, you and I are always in the same boat. Even if the Emperor doesn't move you and me now, what will happen to you and me when the situation stabilizes?"

General Biaoqi was very upset. He was also confused by the Prime Minister in the beginning, which led to today's situation.

The Prime Minister kept his lips shut, and no matter what the general said, he refused to respond even a word. The pace gradually quickened. The General did not know what was happening, so he quickly chased after the Prime Minister and said to the Prime Minister: "Master Prime Minister

, the plan for now is just the two of us staying together, maybe we can make the emperor afraid."

Suddenly, the Prime Minister stopped and stared at the general with a solemn expression, as if he was trying to see through this man. However, the other person only looked a little panicked and allowed him to look at him.

"Since ancient times, kings have been suspicious. Originally, I had an army of 30,000 people. Now it's better. I only have an inflated title of general protecting the country and nothing else. The guards around me have all been relieved of their swords. The prime minister still can't understand this situation.

?”

Perhaps he was moved by the words of General Biaoqi. The Prime Minister looked around to make sure there was no suspicious person around him, then lowered his voice and said: "It is not the emperor who plots against you and me. What kind of character does the emperor have? If he has this

I won’t endure the humiliation till today.”

This sentence directly reminded the general: "Are you talking about Chu Shang Palace?"

For more than half a year, Emperor Mingwen had only one Chu Shanggong beside him. He first took care of the harem, and then went in and out of the political affairs hall from time to time. He also saw the changes of Emperor Mingwen little by little.

"Has the general been in contact with Chu Shanggong?" The prime minister was very surprised. The other party was the first to suspect that he was in love with Chu Yunning.

The general of the escort flag nodded: "It was Jing Niang who was secretly looking for my wife in Yihonglou, and she joined forces with Jing Zhaoyin to set a trap for Jing Niang, forcing Jing Niang to hide in the palace, and finally died tragically in the palace.

.”

He had never underestimated this woman, but she was only limited to scheming between the harem and women, but he did not expect that she would be so skillful in fighting between men, which was really impressive.

The Prime Minister touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Prime Minister, will we be detained when we enter the palace?" General Biaoqi asked worriedly.

The Prime Minister immediately stopped and walked back. No matter whether the guess was true or false, it was always right to be cautious. An hour later, the Prime Minister changed his clothes, wearing plain clothes, with a hemp rope tied around his waist, and carrying dozens of

The slaves rushed to the palace in a mighty manner, beating gongs and drums. The leader of the slaves also held a tablet in his arms, with the memorial tablet of his beloved daughter Gong Shuer written on it.

…

"This old fox!" Chu Yunning snorted. Concubine Shu was not charged with any crime when she was about to die, so it was not wrong to mourn for Concubine Shu.

Originally, she planned to let the Prime Minister enter the palace in the name of the death of Concubine Shu, but she did not expect that the old fox would delay entering the palace on the grounds of being seriously ill.

Now that King Huai has not caught him, Emperor Mingwen cannot easily move the prime minister, nor can he even question him.

If the Prime Minister entered the palace in such a grand manner, if he died in the palace for no reason, Emperor Mingwen would have no way to explain to the Prime Minister's subordinates, which would also arouse King Huai's suspicion that it was a trap before.

Therefore, the Prime Minister cannot act rashly.

"This old fox!" Emperor Mingwen angrily put the tea cup in his hand on the table, his heart hurting with anger: "We have finally arranged all this, are we going to let him escape in vain?"

Chu Yunning frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the plan for now is to appease the Prime Minister to prevent him from doing anything drastic. Our troops are limited and we should try to reduce losses as much as possible. We should deal with external troubles first, and then eliminate internal worries when everything is stable.

"

Both cannot be solved at the same time.

Emperor Mingwen had no choice but to issue a decree to make Concubine Shu his queen and give her a grand burial.

"I guess that the Prime Minister's entry into the palace this time is not just a matter of gratitude. I am worried that he will cause some trouble."

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows.

"If King Huai hears any disturbance, he may come back at any time. If that is the case, it will be very difficult. The capital's troops are less than 50,000. If we go head-to-head, we can only injure the enemy by 1,000 and damage ourselves by 800. It is really not cost-effective.

"

So we have to think of a way to have both sides, and be shameless when necessary.

"You can let people release various signals so that King Huai can't tell whether they are true or false and dare not act rashly."

She has never studied Prince Huai's character, so she can only give it a try now. As long as Prince Huai does not enter the capital and goes further, she will not be afraid of the threat from the Prime Minister.

"Find beggars all over the capital and spread the news along the way. In this way, King Huai will not be able to find the source."

Emperor Mingwen nodded: "I'll do it your way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the news came from outside that the Prime Minister and the General of the Guards and Flags had entered the palace together to have an audience. Emperor Mingwen just recovered his mood and said in a deep voice: "Xuan!"

After a while, the two of them entered the government hall together. When the palace minister saw Emperor Mingwen, his eyes turned red, and he complained of grievances with tears streaming down his nose. "Your Majesty, I am old, and my health has been bad recently. I heard that my daughter suddenly died.

I couldn't bear the blow, and I couldn't recover from the fall, so I haven't been able to thank the emperor for a long time, and I asked the emperor to severely punish the old minister."

As soon as he finished speaking, General Biaoqi also knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this general is incompetent. He was betrayed by his lieutenant, which almost cost him his life. Thank you for your trust in this general, I really don't want to be a general protecting the country."

Please ask the emperor to revoke my title."

The two of them were crying and complaining, looking as aggrieved as possible. Those who didn't know it thought they were really being wronged.

Emperor Mingwen yawned and stood up slowly, helping the two of them to their feet: "I have deep faith in my two dear friends, and I will never listen to slanderous words and wrongfully accuse you."

He said to the Prime Minister: "The imperial concubine has been in the palace for many years. Over the years, she has been considerate to me and managed the harem for me. She died suddenly and suddenly. I am also very heartbroken. Gong Aiqing, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person to express my condolences."

As soon as he said this, the Prime Minister immediately shed tears. The tears were full and crystal clear, and even the circles under his eyes were red. Chu Yunning was stunned by the look in his eyes. He was definitely at the level of a movie king.

"Your Majesty, I have only two daughters in total..." The Prime Minister burst into tears and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen: "It's the two of them who are unlucky and can't always be with the Emperor. I don't blame the Emperor. The whole south end is.

Your Majesty, if you want your ministers to die, they must die."

This style of painting is a little off-base. He said that he was not to blame, but the implication was that Emperor Mingwen forced the palace family to death.

Emperor Mingwen pretended not to hear it, and said: "Before she died, Concubine Shu was still talking about the Prime Minister and his wife. I have invited monks from the national temple overnight to save Concubine Shu. I plan to let the Prime Minister and his wife stay in Yi together."

Kun Palace until the salvation is over."

The Prime Minister of the Palace was shocked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my wife is not in good health. I am only worried that my wife will miss her. She really cannot bear this blow. Please show me your kindness."

"My dear, Madam, don't you even want to see the imperial concubine for the last time? This is the imperial concubine's last wish. I have already promised the imperial concubine. How can I, as the emperor, break my promise?"

Emperor Mingwen bent down and put his hands on Prime Minister Gong's shoulders, pulling him up. Prime Minister Gong slowly stood up and met Emperor Mingwen's eyes. Suddenly, he was startled by the dark abyss in his eyes.

"this……"

"Don't worry, my dear, I will enlighten the lady in the palace to express her condolences. Come here, take the prime minister to Yikun Palace. After a while, the lady will come, you don't need to come to the political palace, I will go to visit the lady."

The meaning of these words is to tell the Prime Minister that the person is already on the way and there is no point in refusing.

For some reason, the Prime Minister subconsciously looked at Chu Yunning. He always felt that the woman in front of him was like a monster with a big mouth. No matter what decision you made, she would eat it in one bite without leaving any room.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, if Madam has a headache or fever, I will arrive as soon as possible and will never delay Madam." Chu Yunning looked at the Prime Minister's inspection and smiled at him.

The Prime Minister of the Palace hummed: "I won't bother Chu Shang Palace anymore."

After saying that, the prime minister left the political hall. As soon as he left, the general of the escort flag panicked inexplicably. He pretended to be calm and looked up at Emperor Mingwen; "Your Majesty, I heard that someone deliberately took refuge in the name of the general.

King Huai, he almost harmed King Huai when he entered the city. Fortunately, General Chu was resourceful and noticed something was wrong in time to stop the damage. I beg the emperor to punish you."

"You did it unintentionally. How can I blame you? The general's injury is better?" Emperor Mingwen changed his seriousness and looked at General Biaoqi up and down. He asked Eunuch Mo to go to the warehouse to get a lot of valuable medicine with concern.

Let him take it back.

"Your Majesty, General..." General Biaoqi was stunned. The boxes of tonics were like heavy bombs in his hands, ready to explode at any time.

"General, go back to your house and have a good rest. When you feel better, I will reuse General."

Emperor Mingwen said.

However, General Biaoqi's heart was in a state of confusion, and he immediately said to Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, the general's injuries have almost recovered. I beg the emperor to let the general make atonement for his sins, otherwise the general will feel guilty and uneasy.
To be continued...
