The queen folded her hands on her legs, raised her head, and looked at Dingwu with soft eyes: "The emperor grew up in the folk since she was a child. She is very wild and disobedient. She does everything alone. Now he is in danger. Although he has your Majesty to protect him, I am worried that he will be disobedient and do whatever he wants. If he is still by my side, I can still control him. Now I don't even know where he is, and I am powerless to control him. Therefore, I can only ask Your Majesty to let Lu Xunyi and others go back. No matter what, the emperor uses them to help him. With them, he can always help him in times of crisis."

These words were reasonable, but after hearing this, Dingwu was silent for a long time, he finally failed to agree.

He turned around silently, but this time he gave a response: "It's not that I don't let them go, but that these people act recklessly and caused trouble in the capital several times, which not only made the country fall into a passive state several times, but also left an extremely bad influence among the people. I kept them in the palace to protect them and for the sake of the emperor's reputation."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "Queen, please feel at ease, I have my own arrangements!"

"Can Your Majesty tell me, is the emperor's life or death at this moment?" The queen suddenly raised her voice.

Dingwu frowned.

"The emperor has never had any news for many years. Now he has sent Lu Xunyi to Beijing and has only contacted him..." The queen stared at Dingwu's back and said slowly.

Before he could finish his sentence, Dingwu suddenly reacted violently. He suddenly turned around and turned back, standing in front of the queen, staring at the queen with a scary look: "What do you mean?"

The queen looked at him, but in the end she avoided his gaze that seemed to be eating people: "Lu Xunyi is in the palace now, and the news about the emperor has also been cut off. I just want to have news for the emperor whether it is life, death, good or bad. Please let them go!"

"I have already said that I have my own opinions. Remember, whether to let go of Du Juan or Lu Xunyi is all the government affairs, only if I say it!" Dingwu seemed to suppress his shocking anger at this moment.

Perhaps only Dingwu himself knew that the queen had just said that the Ming King disappeared for many years, and even if he appeared, he only contacted Lu Xunyi, which gave Dingwu how much excitement it was.

The most secret, the secret that can never be told, will not be forgotten, even if it is not mentioned, the most unbearable thing will be revealed, Dingwu will be tyrannical in an instant.

Why did King Ming disappear for many years? Why didn’t he contact his father and trust an outsider instead?

It is obvious that Dingwu had to be jealous and had to think about it because of the incident back then, because King Ming knew that his father had wanted to kill him with his own hands.

If not?

The queen raised her eyes that had just avoided, looked at Dingwu again, and did not retreat in a single moment.

She looked at Dingwu's angry eyes, and after a long time, she heard her whisper: "I am the only one son left. Your Majesty, I am not asking for anything else, I just want him to be safe. I am asking for your Majesty's grace to let Du Juan go and all the generals of the Ming Palace!"

She didn't cover up at all, and just pretended to do it directly, which made the old nanny beside her stunned.

Even the lord of the harem cannot be so unscrupulous and interfere in the affairs of the court for his son.

Even if you want to do this, you can't say it so directly. If you want to spread it, you will definitely be gossiped about it.

"Cai Junhua, are you crazy?" Dingwu was obviously furious and even directly named the queen.

When the emperor was angry, he was powerful for thousands of miles.

Emperor Dingwu has been angry for many years, but he is still rare to be so angry. All the people who are attending the hall kneel down on the spot.

At this moment, even the old nanny next to the queen dared to shout, "Your Majesty, calm down your anger", and everyone else was trembling and did not dare to make any sound.

In the whole hall, there were only emperors and queens standing one by one in an instant.

Facing Emperor Dingwu's anger, the queen did not change color. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Dingwu, allowing him to swell his anger, and said softly: "As long as your Majesty is willing to agree to me, even if you are a madman, I will accept it!"

"Empress!" The old lady was so scared that she was no longer looking at her face. What was the queen doing? However, she had already said that she could not take it back at all.

Emperor Dingwu's expression was already terrifying, and the anger in his eyes was shocking. He stared at the queen and said word by word: "Shut up! Why do you have to go against me? Why don't you listen to my explanation? Why? Do you feel comfortable if you have to make me angry?"

However, the queen just waved her hand and got rid of the old palace maid trying to hold her hand. She looked at Emperor Dingwu and continued: "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of the harem for more than 30 years. However, as the lord of the harem, I have been incomplete and ignored the palace affairs for several years..."

As soon as this said, Dingwu's suppressed anger finally broke out: "I'll let you stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dingwu suddenly turned around and shouted: "Come here!"

After a burst of noise, the soldiers quickly entered.

The old lady was frightened and stood up and stopped her in front of the queen.

But he didn't expect that the next moment, Dingwu pointed his hand at the kneeling servants and shouted loudly: "Drag them all out and behead them!"

……………………

...

It was still heavy snow on the first day of the New Year, but it was clear to the second day of the New Year.

But as the old saying goes, it doesn’t make the snow cold.

Zhang Bangli sat in his office, looking at the burning fire in the stove for heating beside him, his eyes a little dazzled.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Zhang Bangli still looked at the stove without looking up.

But a man walked in quickly, his voice a little frightened: "Sir, something happened!"

Zhang Bangli shook his hand and suddenly looked up: "Say!"

"Your Majesty was furious for some reason and dragged all the servants in the palace out..." The visitor said in a low voice while making a chopping gesture.

"Where is the Queen?" Zhang Bangli's face turned pale.

"The Empress hasn't come out yet!" someone came to report.

"Hu..." Zhang Bangli fell to the ground with cold sweat, and she felt a breath of vigor. She waved her hand and asked the person to go out.

In the moment, he was really scared, and he was deeply afraid that even the Empress had an accident in her furious state.

When the person who came left, Zhang Bangli betted on the stove again, closed his eyes slightly, and murmured at the corner of his mouth that only he could hear: "I'm afraid I'm really guessing it's wrong. Your Majesty really wants to attack Du Juan..."

He stood up tiredly, came to the window, looking into the direction where His Majesty and the Queen were in the distance, his mood was as tired and heavy as his body at this moment.

But when he heard the whispering sound from his mouth, Du Juan was worried about his life, but it was just his speculation.

Moreover, seeing his face bitter, he seemed to have been lucky, hoping that he would guess it was wrong.

This seems to make people feel a little confused!

Perhaps only Zhang Bangli himself can understand how complicated his heart is at this moment.

Yesterday, when His Highness was approaching Beihe, His Majesty was suspicious, believing that His Highness's move was actually unable to withstand the pressure and wanted to seek asylum from the state.

Emperor Dingwu didn't say much at that time, but Zhang Bangli was alert at that time.

Although neither of the king nor the minister has made it clear, a fact has long been clear.

Your Majesty has decided to draw a circle and use the Ming King as bait to introduce Taoist sect into Weng!

To put it bluntly, it is to take this opportunity to completely turn against the Ming King and the Taoist Sect, and let the Taoist Sect chase and kill the Ming King at all costs!

Of course, it is also forcing the Ming King, who is too mysterious in everyone's eyes, to show all his trump cards and fight to the death.

For many years, we have known that the sect has a strong power, and no one can tell how profound the Taoist sect is. This time, Your Majesty will sit in the mountain to watch the tiger fight, use the Ming King to explore the bottom of the Taoist sect, hoping to find opportunities and dig out the cancer in one fell swoop.

To do this, it is not easy. First of all, you have to let the Taoist sect dare to take action.

Your Majesty must make them believe that the State Council dare not move, and the State Council is still afraid of the situation and will not really break up with the Taoist sect.

However, yesterday His Highness appeared in Beihe openly, and there was no movement in the Taoist sect. There was no doubt that they did not believe that the dynasty could allow them to kill the Ming King.

Your Majesty will not wait, he will definitely find a way to force the Taoist sect to take action. If the Taoist sect doesn't take action, he will force the Ming King to take action.

Therefore, based on the dissatisfaction of His Majesty's mention of the reign of the Ming Dynasty yesterday, Zhang Bangli immediately came to a conclusion.

Your Majesty is afraid that he will use the cuckoo as an introduction.

Once Du Juan dies, there is no doubt that the situation will inevitably explode.

Before, Du Juan was not dead, but a bamboo leaf gate was destroyed!

It can be imagined that after Du Juan died, His Highness was furious and the entire Taoist sect would be bloody.

And when it reaches that point, how could the Taoist sect sit and watch it be slaughtered and will definitely fight back.

At that time, if Your Majesty is in charge of the fire, no one can stop the car!

However, at that point, if Your Majesty really cruelly and coldly watched, Your Highness would probably be hard to have the chance.

Zhang Bangli dared not judge what step His Majesty would do?

This is also the only thing he dared not guess or guess accurately.

Your Majesty’s thoughts about the Ming King are sometimes cold and sometimes hot, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes showing the meaning of seeing it as a hidden dragon, and sometimes showing the will to sacrifice everything for the sake of the country.

So much so that Zhang Bangli could not confirm Dingwu's emperor's thoughts at all. He also suspected that Dingwu was also hesitating whether he wanted to kill Du Juan or whether he wanted to rebel with the Ming King.

...

Zhang Bangli stood silently. He saw everything clearly, but he didn't know how he should stand in this stormy wave.

If it were before, he would follow His Majesty closely and be loyal to the country.

However, things in the world are like chess, but they are so embarrassing.

He never hesitated to be loyal to the royal family, but what he has to face now is that no matter what he does, he is not a loyal minister.

Because Your Majesty and the Ming King’s father and son were both sacrificing their lives for the country. He was loyal to Your Majesty and he was cut off from the Ming King.

There is no doubt that if he had to choose between His Majesty and the Ming King, he could only choose His Majesty, but there was a fact that he was unwilling to admit that hitting his nerves this time.

Perhaps, when the Ming King came with his sword, His Majesty could not protect his life.

Zhang Bangli was a little confused. Why did he end up in this state of loyalty and not know how to establish himself?

In the end, he took a step and went to search for Lu Xunyi last night.

He told Lu Xunyi that Du Juan was in danger and needed rescue.

But in his heart, he hoped that His Majesty was not prepared to kill Du Juan at all. The Ming King could easily save Du Juan. In this way, he had a good relationship with the Ming King, nor did he betray His Majesty.
