In the imperial study room, you can hear a needle drop.

The Holy Father did not speak for a long time, his mouth tightened, and his jawline tightened.

What Xu Jian said was quite bold, but the Holy Emperor would not accuse him of being alarmist, but would try to calm his mind and analyze it carefully.

After all, Li Jun has passed away.

That's a living example.

If we continue to use common sense to judge whether Li Du will be in danger, I am afraid it is no longer appropriate.

If his second brother really risked his life, even if he was defeated like a mountain, he would still die with him...

Why did Li Jun make things difficult for him before?

Because Li Jun is crazy enough.

When an ordinary person makes a move, there is always a plan for every move, but when a madman makes a move, nothing happens and instead the opponent is blinded.

The Holy Spirit is now worried that, as Li Duzhen and Xu Jian said, he is addicted to killing and doesn't care about it anymore.

So does he have a way to restrain Li Du?

Of course there is.

"If you want me to die, I have no choice but to die..." the Holy Master murmured in a low voice.

This is what Li Jun said to Xu Jian. It is not difficult for a king to take human life.

However, those who sit on the dragon throne will keep some.

No king does not want to be the master of enlightenment, and no king wants to leave an infamy after his death.

Even if Li Yi ascended to the throne by accident, he should do it well and there is no reason to act recklessly.

Killing is easy, but the difficult thing is to kill with reason and a good reputation.

"I," the Holy Spirit sighed, "I know that I will attack my second brother in private, so I should act quickly, try to reduce the disputes and conflicts in the court, and resolve the battle quickly.

Then he listed all his crimes carefully. Although there was no evidence, it could stabilize the situation.

But if there is another way, I don’t want to use this method...

Let me think about it again."

Xu Jian was not surprised when the Holy One said this.

In other words, being rigid and abiding by the rules on some issues is the nature of the Holy One.

If a minister were to rebel today, things would be simpler, but that person is the King of Jin, the elder brother of the Holy One, so the Holy One will inevitably want to be more upright in his actions.

Xu Jian said: "This is a serious matter. I think the Empress Dowager will have a lot to say to you. Prince Ping fell ill, otherwise he would also have come to the palace."

"I want to go to Cining Palace," the Holy Master said and then told Eunuch Cao, "You can go and see the emperor's uncle on my behalf later."

Xu Jian stood up and left.

Eunuch Cao sent him all the way out, with a heavy look on his face.

Xu Jian lowered her voice and said, "It's about the royal family, so I can't say too much. It's just Eunuch Cao, I'm really worried about it."

Eunuch Cao nodded, so why not?

"The surrounding area of ​​the Holy Land seems safe," Xu Jian added, "there are so many people in front and behind, and the food and drink brought to the imperial court have been inspected, but they are used to using poison.

At present, two types have been exposed, one has harmed King Ding, and the other has harmed the man from Yongji Palace.

If there are others who are also unaware of them, I really don’t know how to prevent them.

Originally, that person was still working step by step, planning to come from behind and not attack the Holy One directly. Now that he has changed his tactics, who knows if he will do anything random."

Eunuch Cao responded repeatedly: "That's what I said."

"The most worrying thing is His Highness," Xu Jian gave a strong dose of medicine, "That dog is the other party's person, and he will suddenly attack His Highness..."

Eunuch Cao's expression became more and more serious.

Xu Jian made it clear and said no more.

There are some things that are hard for him to say, but Eunuch Cao can.

If Eunuch Cao is inconvenient to tell you, the Empress Dowager can probably tell you.

That's how persuasion works. If you can get twice the result with half the effort, you don't have to do it yourself.

When Xu Jian returned to Qianbu Corridor, rumors of Li Jun's death had already spread.

This was inevitable. Shan Shen brought Wu Zuo into Yongji Palace, and Eunuch Cao also showed up. In addition, there were rumors that Prince Ping's palace urgently recruited an imperial doctor. News from all sources gathered together, and some outlines were gradually drawn up.

Li Shao was anxious, either curious or nervous, and his emotions disturbed him so much that he couldn't sit still at all.

I wanted Wang Gouzi to ask around, but I remembered Xu Jian's reminder not long ago, but still didn't speak.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Jian came back, Li Shao couldn't wait to ask more questions.

"Why are you still looking for a coward? Someone died in Yongji Palace? A young eunuch died silently before. This time the battle is so big, who died? It can't be Li Jun himself, right?"

Xu Jian glanced at the officials outside who were pretending to be fine but actually wanted to hear the inside story. He made fists with his hands and coughed twice.

With such a straightforward reminder, the officials' faces turned red, and they were too embarrassed to listen to it, so they dispersed one after another.

There is a barking dog standing by the door, neither entering nor retreating.

Xu Jian then said to Li Shao: "The man from Yongji Palace has passed away."

Li Shao's eyes suddenly widened.

He was gloating that something big happened to Yongji Palace, but he really didn't expect that Li Junzhen would die.

Why?

Li Jun was still in his prime, and Li Shao went there twice. Although Li Jun was in good spirits, he didn't look sick at all. How could such a person die?

"Accident?" Li Shao's throat rolled, and he didn't believe it.

Xu Jian did not say it clearly: "Sir Shan is investigating."

Because of this incident, Li Shao felt sleepy all afternoon.

There were more and more rumors outside, and Wang Gouzi was feeling scared. He had an intuition that Li Jun's death was related to what he asked Eunuch Sun to deliver to his master yesterday.

If this is true, it proves that the news he reported is very important, and this should be his credit. However, Wang Gouzi did not dare to take any credit, and the smell of an imminent rain made his back feel cold.

After leaving the government office, Xu Jian returned to the mansion.

As soon as I entered the main room, Lin Yunyan also arrived.

She just came back from Cining Palace.

It’s not that I deliberately went to inquire about any news. I had planned to enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wen to have a horse-drawing ceremony on that day, but I didn’t know that I would run into this.

The two exchanged news.

Xu Jian talked about what Shan Shen found in Yongji Palace, and Lin Yunyan talked about the communication between the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor.

"When the Holy One came over, I avoided it and didn't hear what the two of them said," Lin Yunyan said, "but I accompanied the empress later and I could probably guess what she was thinking.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, except for the initial period, she has hardly interfered in court affairs, and all the harem has been handed over to the imperial concubine.

The empress pays great attention to the 'measure' in doing things, but I think she may go overboard this time."

It's not a good word to say that you are acting on your behalf.

It can be used between the Empress Dowager and the Holy Emperor, and it is not a bad word.

The Empress Dowager wanted to take action, not because she did not trust His Majesty. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It was because she understood His Majesty and agreed with the restraint that an emperor must have when handling court affairs and household affairs that she took action on his behalf.

She can take insults.

Xu Jian said: "The more the Empress Dowager is like this, the more the Holy Emperor will understand her."

In terms of mutual support and consideration, this pair of mother and son who have no nurturing grace may actually be more important than the foster mother and son of Concubine Dong and Li Du.

"However, after much thought, I still haven't figured out what Li Du wants to do?" Lin Yunyan said, "Bing Xing is not that dangerous. Although he is used to docking his tail, this time his tail must be cut off to the root.

?”

Xu Jian poured her a cup of tea and said: "He was found on the head and his identity was about to be revealed. This move was also forced.

However, his move was indeed unexpected, and Li Jun probably did not expect that he would be poisoned.

But he should have a back-up plan, and he must have had his own purpose in killing Li Jun."

Lin Yunyan nodded: "Those who have heard the news sooner now know that Li Jun has passed away. There should be a lot of excitement in the morning tomorrow. Let's see how Li Du makes an attack."

"I hope he will be more eager so that the Holy One can make up his mind." Xu Jian smiled.

When Lin Yunyan heard this, an idea flashed through her mind.

"You're not going anyway, do you want to light a fire?" she asked.

The two discussed it carefully for a few words, and after they came to an agreement, Xu Jian prepared paper and ink, and Lin Yunyan simply wrote a letter, stamped it with wax, and Xuansu made a trip to send it to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion.

After dinner, they got Lin Yu's reply.
