In the back hall of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Xu Guangzuo and his son were having a secret conversation under the candlelight.
Xu Guangzuo was sitting on the chair, with a stern look on his face, and his brows were furrowed. Xu Yande was standing next, also frowning and thinking.
"Yande, what do you think about the emperor's death?" Xu Guangzuo asked.

Xu Yande muttered: "To be honest with you, after hearing what happened last night this morning, I felt something was wrong. I always felt that... the whole thing was a bit weird."
"Tell me. What's weird?" Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice.
"That's what I think. It's okay for the emperor to go swimming in the lake, but how could the emperor's dragon boat sink? The boat the emperor wants to take must not be fully inspected. If there are any hidden dangers, they will be found out. How could this happen?
An accident? Even if it is the carriage you ride in every time you go out, the people below will check whether the vehicle is damaged, whether the horses are healthy, and whether the ropes and chain hooks are firm. Not to mention the emperor?" Xu Yande said.
Xu Guangzuo nodded and said: "That makes sense. However, the records of the imperial prison show that it has indeed been strictly inspected. Moreover, the leader of the royal prison, the eunuch, is on the ship. If they had done something wrong, would they be willing to stay on the dangerous ship?
"Are you willing to drown? You must know that among the drowned people are the chief eunuch of the imperial prison and several chamberlains responsible for temporary repairs."
Xu Yande said: "Then I don't know. So this is suspicious. If there is no problem with the ship, there is no guarantee that there will be no problem with the people."
Xu Guangzuo said: "Besides this, are there any other doubts?"
Xu Yande said: "The emperor took a boat trip to the lake. Shouldn't the guards around him be people who are good at swimming? Isn't it strange that all the servants and guards on the boat drowned? He brought a group of guards on the boat who couldn't swim? This is too much.
Strange."
Xu Guangzuo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Keep talking. Is there anything else that feels strange?"
Xu Yande said: "Also, it's that Yang Tinghe's move. It's understandable to block the news and keep it secret. After all, the emperor died suddenly, and it was necessary to mobilize troops and prepare for the announcement before announcing it. But what he did last night
On the occasion, he mentioned the candidate for the throne and objected to immediately sending someone to notify the British Duke and his brother-in-law. This gave
The feeling is very bad. Isn’t that Jiang Bin already about to be dismissed? The emperor has already discussed the candidate with his father, so Yang Tinghe suddenly asked him to seal off the palace and let Jin Yiwei Beizhen Fusi participate in investigating the cause of the emperor’s death.
This is very strange. My son always feels like they have arranged everything. It’s very strange.”
Xu Guangzuo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slowly and said: "Yande, you have grown up. Yes, what you said is also my father's feeling. This afternoon, the results of the investigation came out.
Inquiries from everyone in the Qing palace, as well as the confessions of relevant people in the Han general's camp, were not found.
Any questions indicate that this was an accident. Hahaha, but it is precisely because it is so perfect that it makes me feel unreal. Yande, do you know? The more flawless something is, the more
There is a problem. This is my experience. Especially what happens in the court."

Xu Yande said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that dad was also suspicious."
Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice: "Of course I doubt it. Yang Tinghe's performance last night was too calm. He seemed to be calm and composed, but in my opinion, if he hadn't already thought about it, how could he have been so thoughtful in that situation.
Even the candidates for the throne were considered. The old man and others learned that the emperor
When we heard the news of the emperor's death and saw the lifeless dragon body of the emperor, we were all stunned, confused and at a loss. How could we think so carefully? Yang Tinghe seemed not to be affected in any way. It seemed that
It’s so puzzling to know that all of this is going to happen.”
Xu Yande whispered: "But how dare Yang Tinghe do such a treasonous thing? Why would he do this?"
Xu Guangzuo sneered and said: "He had no choice but to take risks. Yanling told me before leaving that the emperor personally agreed to him. After taking him back to Beijing in triumph, he would deal with Yang Tinghe and others, and also withdraw the cabinet and reorganize the court.
Organization.Yang Tinghe
He must be responsible for the death of 150,000 troops in Hetao. Yang Tinghe must know it well and refuse to give in. If the emperor dies and another emperor is replaced, who will benefit? If the new emperor is him, Yang Tinghe single-handedly helped him to the throne.
, what will happen?”
Xu Yande glared and said: "Yes, yes. Dad woke me up with his words. No wonder he was eager to mention the candidates for the throne. No wonder he refused to let his brother-in-law and others rush back to the capital. He wanted to make arrangements first
Good for everything. You son of a bitch, this traitor, he is simply lawless and should be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts."
Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice: "Exactly."
Xu Yande said: "Since dad knew the conspiracy, why didn't he report it to the Empress Dowager, or inform other courtiers to unite to expose the matter?"
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said: "These are all suspicions without any evidence, and we can't do anything. Besides, the current situation is under the control of Yang Tinghe, and we cannot act rashly. When the emperor died, the Queen Mother's decree was like an imperial decree. The Queen Mother let
Yang Tinghe is in charge of the overall situation, which means that Yang Tinghe has been given the power of regency. Now if we act arbitrarily, why don't we come to our door and let Yang Tinghe take action against us."
Xu Yande nodded slowly, frowned and pondered.
"The current situation is under the control of Yang Tinghe. Now the palace is controlled by the Jinyiwei Dahan General Camp. All the soldiers and horses at the inner and outer city gates have been replaced by the Jinyiwei Yamen. There are also several earls from the Western Camp Central Military Governor's Mansion.
The soldiers and horses of the regiment were also recruited into the city. If the regiment's troops and horses were not used, why use Jin Yiwei? Why use the soldiers and horses of the Western Camp to enter the city? The Queen Mother also ordered the regiment's soldiers and horses not to leave the camp and to stay at the garrison. Don't you still
Do you understand why?"

"Yang Ting and others are using the troops and horses they can mobilize. He is afraid that if he uses the regiment camp and the garrison of the Chinese Army Governor's Office in the capital, he will not be able to control the situation." Xu Yande shouted.
Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice: "As long as you understand. Why did the Queen Mother decree that all the troops in the regiment and camp should stay at the garrison and not leave the camp? Why did she emphasize that without the permission of the Ministry of War, any unauthorized movement of soldiers and horses in Beijing will be severely punished? That is what Yang Tinghe and others have done.
In the name of the Queen Mother's decree, Tuanying was bound
and the troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army in Beijing. With the Queen Mother's Majesty above them, all soldiers and horses who disobey orders can be regarded as trying to cause rebellion. Maybe now, I don't know how many eyes are on the Dingguogong Mansion and other Marquis' Mansion.
Just stare. If you make the slightest move, you may be shattered to pieces."
Xu Yande said angrily: "Yang Tinghe dares to attack us? Does he have the guts?"
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said: "If he dared to touch the emperor, why didn't he dare to attack us? What's more, he had the Queen Mother's decree, and the emperor's death was at a special time. He could use it as an excuse to prevent someone from causing trouble and ensure the stability of the court.
Operation Thunder. The current situation is extremely dangerous for us."
Xu Yande thought for a while and said: "What dad said makes sense. Doesn't that mean we can't do anything now? Even if we have doubts about Yang Tinghe, we can only let him control the situation?"
Xu Guangzuo said: "Yes. Not only can we not have the slightest doubt or suspicion, but we can also not show any emotion at all. Regardless of whether Yang Ting and them have a conspiracy, we can only remain silent until Yanling and Ying Gong come back.
Can't arouse them
Otherwise, they may take desperate measures. I can see it. For this reason, Yanling and the British father must be notified as soon as possible that they are returning to Beijing. Yang Tinghe plans to block the funeral for ten days before holding a funeral. By then, he will arrange everything.
Okay. We have to buy time."
Xu Yande said: "Yes, please quickly inform your brother-in-law that they will lead the army back to Beijing. Yanling and the others will be able to control the situation if they lead the Northern Expedition army back. Yang Ting and the others have something in their minds, so they will stop them from returning to Beijing. As soon as the brother-in-law comes back, he must
We will get to the bottom of everything. Yang Ting and the others are nothing in front of my brother-in-law."
Xu Guangzuo nodded and said: "Only when Yanling and the others come back can we control the overall situation. But now that the whole city is under lockdown, how can we send people out of the city? Once the people we send are intercepted, they will be in trouble. We must be cautious about this matter and don't mess around."
Xu Yande said anxiously: "What should we do? What should we do?"
Xu Guangzuo meditated quietly and suddenly said: "Maybe we can't get out of the city, but some people can. You should know Zhang Zhong, the admiral of Dongchang. I saw him in the palace today, and he seemed to want to talk to me.
But there were too many people and I didn’t dare to be alone with him. The emperor died, and he
But it was as if he had become invisible. Zhang Zhong was promoted at a later age and grew up in the palace. He must know some information. He is the admiral of Dongchang, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei exchange knowledge. There must be someone under him who can use Jinyiwei's skills.
His identity was hidden from the city. Maybe it would be better for him to think of a way than for you and me to think of a way."

Xu Yande nodded and said: "What a good idea. Tomorrow I will go to the palace with dad to keep vigil. Dad has a lot of eyes, so I will go talk to Zhang Zhong."
Xu Guangzuo nodded and said slowly: "I hope Zhang Zhong has not been bribed by them, otherwise, we will really have set ourselves up for a trap. Yande, tomorrow you will test a few words, and if you have any objections, shut up. You can't trick us into it."

Xu Yande nodded heavily and promised in a deep voice.
