Although the capital was strictly guarded, the soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at the six people in front of them, and after verifying the official documents, they let the people go into the city. "This is probably the last group of public servants to the capital." The man dressed in the team leader sighed deeply.

In his position, he knew much more than those little men, so he also felt the storm brewing in the capital. Nominally, there was only the place in the west of the Nine Gates for people to enter and exit, and it also required an extremely complicated inspection. In fact, the Empress, who lived in the deep palace, still had her own entrance. The troops sent by Prince Feng Wufang of An knew exactly this secret passage. I heard that the team that followed the prince's prince back to Beijing was only five days away.

Feng Wuhen and others changed their mounts at the city gate, and each of them changed into a dusty outfit and turned into a guard dress. Queen Xiao probably had set up a support here, so the two young guards came up early and led the way without saying a word.

Among the six people, except Feng Wuhen and Ming Jue, they were all confidant guards sent by Feng Wufang. They were all elite soldiers who had been through many battles, so even though they were tired, they still looked determined. The four people vaguely protected Feng Wuhen and Ming Jue, so they did not attract many people's attention.

When Feng Wuhen saw Kunning Palace from afar, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. As early as last night, he sent Zhan Rong to contact Zhan Pohan from Fengtai Camp, so he had roughly discovered the intention of his mother Xiao. Despite this, he could not take it lightly. Now he was helpless to enter the palace alone. After all, he did not intervene normally, and Hai Guanyu, the minister in charge of the guards of the guards, had long been restricted from entering and leaving. It can be said that the guards in the palace are all in charge of the hands of Xiao.

Zhan Pohan's man had already started to act as promised. As the final deterrent, Feng Wuhen did not intend to take it out easily. Even the governor of Zhili Bi Yunlun had only received vague news. However, I believe that with the cleverness of Bi Yunlun and his wife, there would never be any misleading.

Although they all have formal identities, they were dressed as guards at this time, so they could not walk through the main gate of Kunning Palace, but went around the boss to enter the hall. Feng Wufang's confidant Yan Jing had met Xiao before, and this time he took the lead.

"Prince An is really brave. I believe that if the palace did not try to open a door for entry and exit, he would have to knock on the door with a false message of victory?" Xiao's face was full of displeasure. Feng Wufang's previous report had caused a stir in the capital, and Feng Wuxi frequently entered the palace, asking her to make a decision earlier, but Xiao never officially let go. She was about to ask something again, but suddenly felt a palpitation and glanced at the few people kneeling behind her, and her face changed drastically. After all, she had been in the back for several years, and her qi cultivation skills were unusual, so she quickly calmed down.

The eunuchs and palace maids around him had already retired, but the queen Xiao knew that the two shadow guards sent by the emperor before he died had temporarily been with her left and right side, and Rouping with a confused look on her right side. "I didn't expect you to return so soon, Wuhen." Xiao suddenly smiled happily, "I have been hiding the news all the time, for fear that someone would stop your trip."

Feng Wuhen stood up from his position, and took a few steps forward and bowed again, "My son bowed to my mother!" He first bowed to the ground, and then raised his head solemnly, "There are now traitors in the court, so how can my son bow to be at ease? Naturally, he had to travel day and night. I wonder how his father was in a state of illness?"

Without Xiao's instructions, the four guards who followed Feng Wuhen into the capital quietly dispersed, protecting the doorway. Ming Jue was still in place, with his eyes bright and bright.

Xiao's face immediately sank, "It's a blessing that you came back so quickly, otherwise things would be really difficult. Just three days ago, the emperor had already returned to heaven."

Feng Wuhen was almost unable to control himself by one sentence. He never expected that things would come so quickly. He originally thought that someone wanted to rebel while his father was seriously ill, but he did not expect that the emperor who was far more majestic than warmth would be gone. "My mother, father, is his father really already a guest of honor?" He asked again almost uncontrollably, and his hands were trembling slightly.

"It's a pity that your father could not see you again before his death." Xiao's voice also had a few sobs. Suddenly, she returned to her usual slightly cold tone. "Since you have returned, I am relieved. The emperor handed over the throne to me before he was seriously ill, so it's not too late. The Japanese Palace in Ming Dynasty summoned all the ministers and announced the succession of the new king." She chuckled, "You can come back so quickly this time, I'm afraid that many people will be disappointed."

Feng Wuhen felt a chill in his heart, and immediately felt the coldness in the words. Xiao did not mention Feng Wuxi's actions at all, and did not argue with the rebellious actions of the Nine Gate Admiral Zhang Qian. Instead, he used "many people" to refer to it, which undoubtedly means that she also knew that there were others who were secretly watching. No matter how she and Feng Wuxi fought, the throne was her son after all, but if it fell into the hands of the person who came out of the sword, it would be a huge joke.

Xiao slowly stepped out from behind the screen, bent down and helped Feng Wuhen up. "Wuhen, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have lost some weight." She looked at her son's face carefully, as if she was the most loving mother in the world. "Fortunately, there was no mistake in returning to Beijing this time, otherwise the girl Xin'er would have to worry again." She glanced at her son meaningfully, and then said softly, "Do you know that this girl actually escaped from the heavily guarded East Palace. She entered the palace last night and questioned the palace for a long time, and she really did her best!"

Xiao's rare warm behavior made Feng Wuhen stunned, but the words immediately surprised him. Although the Kunning Palace guards were guided by him, he had already discovered the tense situation in the capital. As his territory, the East Palace is naturally the focus of his care. Hai Ruoxin, a delicate lady, could run out, undoubtedly mean that everyone in the East Palace could escape.

He was thinking about the reason, but he saw Rouping leading someone to appear from the door of the back hall, and then he exclaimed with a suppressed exclamation. "Wuhen, are you actually back?" Hai Ruoxin couldn't believe his eyes. She had previously confirmed from Xiao that Feng Wufang from the Northwest Camp had sent someone to follow Feng Wuhen back to Beijing, but it would take at least five or six days to arrive. Now Feng Wuhen is wearing guard costumes and standing in front of her. How can she not be surprised?

Seeing Hai Ruoxin rushing forward a few steps, Feng Wuhen was still looking up and down. He was also a little embarrassed, but he was more moved. "Xin'er, don't worry, it's okay." He comforted his wife insincerely. Since Hai Ruoxin knew to enter the palace to ask for a meeting, and now he is safe and sound, he must have been completely clear about his mother's Queen Xiao's attitude.

"My mother, thank you for your hard work during this period. My son is really unfilial!" Feng Wuhen bowed deeply again, "Since the mother has already arranged for him, then summon all the ministers tomorrow." He seemed to think of the military horses of the Nine Gate Admiral Zhang Gan, and he could not help but have the idea of ​​capturing the thief and the king.

"My mother, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about Zhang Gan's side." After calming down the sorrow in his heart, Hai Ruoxin calmed down, "When I came out before, the people in the East Palace had already agreed. Zhang Gan just borrowed the authority of his father and mother to do whatever he wanted. Once the court had other orders, the soldiers under his subordinates could not obey them all. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone would buy the gangs and generals of the infantry commander's yamen. It is always not good to capture the thief and capture the king, and a mutiny will come to the capital's yamen, so several guards from the East Palace have secretly sneaked to the infantry commander's yamen to prepare, and they should be able to seize these people."

Although he said it lightly, both Feng Wuhen and Xiao knew his determination and murderous aura. Feng Wuhen, who knew his strength, had already confirmed that Zhang Gan's actions must have angered the people in the mansion this time, so they had decided to use the people in the dark. However, Zhang Gan's intentions were inadvertent, and he should have dealt with it well in the end. He seemed to have glanced at his mother's face inadvertently. Sure enough, Xiao's expression changed several times, but in the end he was frozen in indifference.

"Okay, what is important now is not a small nine-sect admiral. If he is settled, the overall situation will be easier to arrange in the future." Xiao obviously agreed to this approach. "Although Yu Xinqi, the Minister of War, is mediocre, he is still a person who knows the current affairs. This time, he might as well let him post a post. Everyone knows that this Secretary has no real power, and there is no soldier in his hands. He is usually impartial and not easy to attract suspicion."

"It's up to the mother's wishes." Feng Wuhen nodded. He knew that it was his mother expressing his feelings at this time. Xiao's behavior of making suggestions on the actual situation was a kindness he had never received before. "As long as he could hold the military power of the infantry commander's yamen in his hand, it would be easier for tomorrow's court discussions."

Of course, the person who sent the message was Chen Lingcheng, who was still free to enter and exit the palace with the identity of Shen Ruhai. Before, Xiao was completely deceived by him, not to mention those other people who were not familiar with the superiors and subordinates of the Imperial Hospital. In order to win the trust, Xiao's secret edict was covered with the emperor's jade seal and the queen's small seal, so no one could doubt it. Furthermore, although no one had seen Chen Lingcheng's skills, he could bring someone in the secret passage of the East Palace and still come and go freely, and everyone had infinite confidence in him.
