The dim night covered the uneasy look on Qian Qian's face, but he still stood there, pulled the corners of his lips, and smiled and said, "Chunqiu, are you coming close?"

The two were more than ten feet apart. Ye Chunqiu pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist, but for some reason, the dozens of new army escorts he brought were all close to each other. These dozens of people should have been at the Meridian Gate, but at night, the Queen Mother issued an imperial decree to invite them in.

The two of them deliberately pretended to be relaxed, but the guards behind them were all at the same time.

Ye Chunqiu did not move, but his face was extremely cold, and his eyes showed a solemn look. However, in the deepest part of this secluded eyes, a sense of sadness suddenly surged. At this time, he said, "Don't Brother Qian want to meet the Queen Mother? Please."

Qian Qian seemed very hesitant, looked around and looked around, feeling full of doubts. In the end, he sighed, as if he had made some decisions, and said, "Chunqiu, you have been on guard against me for a long time, right?"

Ye Chunqiu did not answer his words immediately, but just stood there quietly and stared at him deeply.

Looking back at the beginning, since he was just a little scholar, he met Qian Qian. The two of them had a life-long friendship. It was not too much to say that they were brothers, but...

Ye Chunqiu still looked at Qian Qian deeply, as if thinking about seeing what Qian Qian's expression was at this time, and said, "Yes, since I sent you a letter, I suspected you. You kept saying that Gu Dayong was making a hindrance, so that the Empress Dowager did not issue an imperial decree and ordered me to enter the pass. From then on, I knew you had lied to me."

Qian Qian was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "This...how is this possible? You and Gu Dayong..."

Before Qian Qian could continue, Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "You must have never expected that, in fact, I felt something was wrong even earlier. Do you still remember when the prince was poisoned?"

Qian Qian stopped making any more noise at this time, only his eyes were staring straight at Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu smiled bitterly and continued, "Your Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly poisoned. In fact, only the people in the palace are the people, but who is it? At first, I always suspected that it was Gu Dayong or Zhang Yong, but when Zhang Yong committed suicide in fear, I thought that this person might be Zhang Yong. It was Zhang Yong who colluded with Yang Tinghe and wanted to take this opportunity to poison the prince to blame the Ye family. But... I thought about it carefully, but still felt that something was wrong. What about this motive? What is their motive? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the motive was unclear. If I wanted to deal with me, even if I poisoned my father or poisoned the prince, I would still live well... Why did I have to do such a lot of trouble? So I thought about it later, why was this person Zhang Yong? When Zhang Yong died and you became the governor of the Imperial Guard, I suddenly woke up."

"It is not difficult to figure out that if Zhang Yong dies, the biggest beneficiary must be you. There are very few people whom Your Majesty can trust. Zhang Yong is the companion around His Majesty and the closest person. If even such a person is not trusted, who else will Your Majesty believe? There are not many people in this world who can believe it, but Brother Qian, you are an exception. Every time Your Majesty goes on a tour in a silly manner, he will take you with you. It can be seen that he is extremely at ease with you. I don't know how you gained His Majesty's trust, but... I only know that in fact, the poisoned people were on the surface against the Ye family, and maybe even against the prince, but in fact, they were all against Zhang Yong. Because someone wants Zhang Yong to die, only if Zhang Yong dies, your Brother Qian can truly get a high position. I can't deny this, right?"

Ye Chunqiu felt that when he said these words, he felt an invisible feeling of fatigue, but he wanted to understand some of them, so he continued: "But, although I thought of this level, I didn't say it, because I really didn't dare to doubt that the old brothers with me for so many years would be such a person. Although I had doubts, I kept telling myself that it must be wrong. Perhaps it was just that Zhang Yong really ate lard and was shocked. After all, there are always stupid people in this world..."

"But when Li Dongyang told me that someone was going to force the empress dowager to the palace, I became really alert."

"Yang Yiqing is not stupid, and Zhu Houxiang is definitely not a fool. The two of them are the smartest people. How could they take risks and do such things? Unless they are very confident, what are they sure of? Relying on a group of scholars? Or a group of gentry? Ha... The scholar rebelled for three years and failed to make a palace by relying on these people. As long as the Empress Dowager has a little opinion and a command, he can order people to kill them all. Many things cannot be solved by just using their mouths. Only swords are the most effective."

"So what's crucial is, who is their sword?"

Ye Chunqiu sighed here, looking at Qian Qian from afar, and he continued with disappointment: "I have thought about it, the biggest possibility is you, because only you are in charge of the prevention and control in the palace, so you did not use war first, because big war was your last method. What Zhu Houguan wanted was the legitimate succession of the great throne, not by robbing the throne or usurping the throne. It is precisely because of this that you... just performed yesterday's drama. It was just hoped to use peaceful means to force the queen mother to surrender. If it really came to a time when it was really impossible, then he would be willing to take the world's magnificent."

"Do you know? Brother Qian, in order to confirm this, I repaired two letters when I was in Qinglong, and one letter was repaired to you. I hope you can persuade the Empress Dowager and make her issue an imperial edict to enter the pass. At the same time, I also repaired one letter to Gu Dayong!"

Qian Qian was stunned. Under the night sky, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Do you think I haven't received the Queen Mother's decree?" Ye Chunqiu laughed. He took out a yellow silk from his arms and said, "This... is a Queen Mother's decree. It's a pity that this was supposed to be the imperial decree you invited for me, but Gu Dayong helped me. But what is your letter? You are saying that Gu Dayong was making a hindrance from it. Ha, if Gu Dayong was making a hindrance from it, then why did he ask for this secret decree for me? As for Gu Dayong's decree who persuaded the Queen Mother not to easily enter the pass, they were just for those who were secretly surveillance."

Qian Qian's face was already blue and white, and he said in anger: "Yes, you are right. In fact, I am the one who really interferes and doesn't let you come to Beijing. You are so sad outside the pass, why should you come to this muddy water?" 8
