At this time, the atmosphere in Taicheng can be described as gloomy and bleak.

Originally, Xi Jian left the capital and went to Langya during the holiday, which has made the turbulent crowd slightly calmer. Zhuge Hui and other Taiwanese ministers are also doing the work of the queen mother, striving for the mourning specifications that match Wang Dao's identity and merits.

Without too many miscellaneous intrusions, Chu Yi and others can also prepare for the rectification of the officials in the future. After all, no matter how much noise there is now, Jiangbei is the biggest trouble, and the rectification of officials, as a means of checks and balances in Taichung, is the top priority at the moment, and cannot be interrupted by other accidents.

However, a few days after things got back on track, Shen Chong of Dunan had another moth, and he actually wanted to go to Langya in person to mourn. If it is someone else, it can be said that it is more important than human affection, but this kind of words are not suitable for Shen Chong. He has a deep grudge against the Wang family, and with the death of Wang Dao, the remaining clansmen of the Wang family only have hatred for him and have no tolerance for him.

Sure enough, before the Taifu had time to meet to discuss how to persuade Shen Chong, the news of the attack on Shen Chong in Qingxi, east of the city, reached Taicheng.

This news was like a hammer slammed on the heartstrings of the Taifu, and for a while, I didn't even know whether to sigh whether Shen Chong was really talented, and whenever there was an haunt, it would be amazing.

Shen Chong was attacked, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the nature of this incident was much more serious than Director Wang's death. The latter thing dared to be delayed, but the first thing was simply killing them. Not to mention that Shen Chong himself is in the position of the third duke, just as Shen Weizhou's father, he was chased and killed in the land of and in full view of everyone, this is forcing Jiangbei and Nan to use soldiers!

Therefore, as soon as he got the news, not only Chu Yi immediately ordered Zhou Mo to mobilize the guards, and at any cost must determine Shen Chong's location and safety in the shortest possible time, even the queen mother in the garden was also alarmed, and gathered the ministers who were still in the stage to gather in the front hall of Taiji to wait for the news.

His Royal Highness Shen Ke knelt down and wept deeply, constantly begging to be sure to rescue Shen Chong. The tone was so sad that it made people almost cry, but listening to the ears of the assistants present made them doubly irritable, and the fire in their hearts almost burned from their chests.

Although the Taifu did not witness the scene of Shen Chong's attack, after calming down and thinking about it for a while, they also secretly felt that there were too many strange things in this matter, but now in front of the Queen Mother and the Shen family's bitter lords, including the ministers of the palace, even if there is any speculation, it is not easy to say it directly.

"Shen Qing, please be at ease for the time being, not to mention that the pro-Weng is the pillar of the country, Wei Zhou alone works hard for the country in the north, and the pro-elder's family is under small foster care, and now that the doom is coming, there is no reason to sit back in Taiwan, and he will definitely save Sikong as soon as possible! Since it is difficult to make up his mind at the moment, Shen Qing might as well return home for the time being, if Sikong escapes to a stable place, he will definitely send someone home as soon as possible to report the news. ”

Although the queen mother was also irritable, she also needed to press a little at this time, persuade Shen Ke a few words, and then order the ministers to send him home.

After Shen Ke left, the queen mother snorted coldly in the palace, and her gaze turned cold, "There was a fierce raid on the countryside a few years ago, and the victims were still small people. But now the evil thing has happened in the capital, and the victim has become the third prince of the court. I would like to ask you, why did the world come to this? Will next time, the disaster will happen in the Taiyuan, and the emperor and the old woman will still be able to sleep peacefully? ”

When the ministers heard the queen mother's reprimand, their faces were covered with cold sweat for a while, and their heads were lowered and silent. As for the few Taiwanese assistants who really couldn't be avoided, they were all busy leaving the table and bowing down without crowns, "The ministers are afraid, and the ministers are ...... capital crimes."

"Great evils are frequent, and there are deserving sinners!"

The queen mother is really tormented by the treacherous changes in the situation, and she has no patience, and vents the sullenness that has accumulated for a long time, "Evil things happen suddenly, and the crime is due to negligence, so I don't care about it for the time being." But now that several hours have passed, seeing that it is getting late, and there is not the slightest message coming back, who can say whether I, Shen Sikong, am alive or dead? ”

When Chu Yi and the others heard this, their faces became even more embarrassed, and they couldn't help complaining for a while about Zhou Mo, who was in charge of the search, whether they got it or not, they should at least fabricate one or two clues to report it back, isn't this obviously to give people a chance to use the topic to play?

"Send the guards again, if you can't save Sikong, don't let the guards see me again!"

The Empress Dowager said sharply that her dissatisfaction with the ministers was mainly concentrated in the position of the protector. Although she didn't necessarily trust Guozhang Wei Chong much, this was the person she designated, and as a result, she was driven away by the Taifu and replaced by Zhou Mo without any clear reason, which disrupted his arrangement for the court.

Chu Yi frowned slightly after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "At present, the six military camps and accommodation are all dispatched, if they are redeployed, I am afraid it will affect the defense ...... of Duxia and even Taiyuan."

When the queen mother heard this, her heart was also inevitably sudden, the safety of Taiyuan was the most sensitive string in her heart, and it was always tense, although Su Zu's rebellion had passed for many years, but the chaotic scene still appeared in her dreams and woke her up.

Hearing Chu Yi say this, the queen mother no longer insisted on sending more people, but turned to say angrily, "Or the woman's shallow opinion, I really don't know how to do things!" In the early years, the six armies of the Su Guards were important in defending Gyeonggi, and in the early years, the horses were well governed and rebuilt in the capital, and they also generated more income for the public funds, which was not useless. Jinai is still not calm, why did he force the guards to idle Xuancheng Neiyi before? Could it be that the hundreds of thousands of elite and brave kings and virtuous ministers in Jiangbei can't shelter the people of Jiangdong to sleep in peace? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Mi, who was presiding over the matter, couldn't help but look more difficult, and he could also hear that if there was no good result in this matter, Zhou Mo, the protector, would definitely make a move.

However, the Empress Dowager's intentions did not stop there, she turned to say, "Since the guards are useless, what about the nearby town?" Liyang is a famous family ......"

"This must not happen!"

Before the queen mother finished speaking, Chu Yi, Zhuge Hui and others in the hall were busy interrupting in unison, and the appearance of the crowd's words and tacit understanding suddenly made the queen mother's face even more difficult to see.

Several Taifu secretly exchanged glances, and in the end, Zhuge Hui, who had not yet provoked the bottom line of the queen mother, opened his mouth and said, "After all, the positions of the outer town and the inner residence are different, and the famous ministers are credible, but it is difficult for the public to know the intention after all." Even if there is a need for scheduling, it is not advisable to rush and hurry, and it is advisable to slow things down, and teach them by law......"

Zhuge Hui was still there to weigh the words, trying to delay the queen mother's intentions a little. But when he was halfway through his speech, a dull and long drum and trumpet suddenly sounded outside the hall and inside the city.

After hearing these voices, there was an uproar in the entire Taiji front hall, and the emperor who was sitting firmly in the hall was hanging his head and pretending to sleep also woke up suddenly, and the whole person jumped up from the throne, and pounced on the queen mother with a panicked face, and said in a panic, "Queen Mother, where is the chaos......

The queen mother was also completely arrogant at this time, and she held the emperor in her arms with open arms, and even screamed in horror, "Why are you beating the drum?" Hurry up and find out! Quickly summon the six armies into the arch ......"

The trumpet was sounded in Taicheng, which was a new regulation after the rebellion of Suzu, and was used as a warning after a definite military disaster occurred in the region. Therefore, when the drum and trumpet sounded, the queen mother and the emperor were all frightened, and the ministers in the palace also suddenly changed color, only to feel that the sky was suddenly gloomy, and they were sweating.

Without turning, several ministers rushed into the hall in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to bow down, and rushed directly into shouting, "The people in Langya County have changed, and the chaotic people have controlled the courtyard of Wang Taifu and turned to attack Jincheng......"

Hearing the news, the whole hall was stunned. The first person to react was Zhuge Hui, and within a moment, his whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "The township is evil, and the minister is hard to blame, please go to his post to apologize, and then please order the people to lead the people to kill the township evil!" ”

"This, this ......"

The queen mother's eyes were also wide at this time, although she was no longer trembling in shock, but she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"How can the ruling position be left and left because of the people's rebellion! Moreover, the details of the civil unrest are unknown at present, so please urgently summon the escort army to return to the palace, prepare the six armies east of the big truss, be on deep alert, and then send elite cavalry to the east to spy on the ......"

Chu Yi also reacted at this time, glancing at Zhuge Hui suspiciously, and said in the same voice.

According to Situ's words, the two thousand stones in the platform immediately entered the arch...... No, no, then urgently summon Liyang Zhigong to lead the crowd into the guard, send people, and immediately send people to Guangling to inform the horse, and order him to put down the rebellion with the whole army, go quickly, go quickly! ”

The queen mother's thoughts were finally a little organized at this time, and she immediately made stress arrangements, but these two arrangements made the Taiwan assistants feel at the bottom. Although in ordinary times, the queen mother intellectually knows that she should be vigilant against strong vassals, but once there is turmoil, the first choice and first choice in her heart is the virtuous son-in-law of her family, and she no longer has any scruples.

After Chu Yi and the others heard this, they were busy opening their mouths to stop, but He Chong in the rear hurriedly pulled their robes and hinted that it was not to. At present, the Queen Mother is terrified and longs for a sense of security, and if they obstruct it at this moment, it will undoubtedly exacerbate the conflict even more.

Anyway, no matter what choice the queen mother makes, they are the ones who are in charge of the edict, and the first thing to do now is to find out what is going on in the Langya civil turmoil, and it is really not appropriate to have a senseless dispute in the palace.

Therefore, the ministers were busy sending the emperor and the empress dowager into the garden, while leaving some people to guard them. Then Chu Yi and the other assistants hurriedly returned to the station and made their own arrangements.

At this moment, Chu Yicai looked at Zhuge Hui with a blue face and said hatefully: "What is the matter with the Langya civil turmoil?" Is this what TD is happy to see? Liang Chengcheng is arrogant, and his father does not know his life and death, if his people come south to quell the chaos, you and I will have no good return! ”

Zhuge Hui was also sweating profusely at this time, and he didn't have time to wipe it, he was in no mood to care about Chu Yi's attitude at all, he just stomped his feet and said angrily, "Inferior son, inferior son!" How dare you not report such a great evil...... I knew that today, I shouldn't have let Wang's son give birth to Jiangzhou in the early years! ”

Seeing that Zhuge Hui was also shocked by the news and spoke incoherently, even if the others were angry, they could only press it for a while. It's just that I am thinking about the current chaos on the other hand, and I feel even more headache, Shen Chong has fled, Langya is in turmoil, and I have to beware of the queen mother jumping over the wall in a hurry to attract forces that should not be attracted to the capital, which is a major event that requires human life, and I don't even know which one to deal with for a while.

After several discussions with each other, everyone decided to divide the guards into two parts, one part of Danyang and Wu Zhongliang's family to search for Shen Chong's whereabouts, and the other part was immediately transferred to Zhoushan to defend in danger.

But after making these arrangements, suddenly there was a letter from the garden saying that there had just been a private edict from the garden, and the whereabouts were undecided!
