Qi Cheng knew nothing about the matter in the palace, but what Zhang Dun said was probably true!

Are the officials really angry? Do they have to force them to hand over all their wealth as punishment?

Duke Qi was cold in his heart. He was definitely not allowed to spend money to eliminate crimes when he involved framed the queen. Zhang Dun obviously had his next plan!

He thought for a long time, glanced at Gu Zhengyang and said, "There is no other way. I have to pay my family's wealth and move my family south."

How could Gu Zhengyang be willing to do so? Wouldn’t this be self-exiled?

"Duke of Qi, do you really have no room for maneuver?" Gu Zhengyang's face was full of panic and expectation.

Duke Qi thought about his relationship network and said, "Unless the officials change their minds."

Gu Zhengyang was stunned and said, "You mean, is this matter the official's intention?"

The Duke of Qi wanted to say something, shook his head again and said, "I'll be here today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Dun threw such a big thunder directly, and everyone was stunned. Duke of Qi needed time to calm down and come up with a complete response strategy.

Fortunately, it is not the Imperial City Siwei Mansion now, so he still has time to deal with it.

Gu Zhengyang was not willing to wait? His title of Ningyuan Marquis had just been surrendered. If he was involved in the matter in the palace, he would have to die even if he didn't die!

"Duke of Qi, princess... can you ask for mercy?" Gu Zhengyang said in a weak voice.

In addition to the official family, he thought of the Empress Dowager. With Princess Qi'an, the Empress Dowager would not sit idly by and watch the Duke of Qi's mansion suffer.

In the past, Qi Cheng would definitely scold Gu Zhengyang when he heard it, but now he is silent.

When Gu Zhengyang saw that there was a chance, he was immediately excited and relaxed.

...

When Zhang Dun left the Duke of Qi's mansion, his guards immediately ran over from not far away.

The leader of the guards, O'Ban, glanced at the Duke of Qi's Mansion and whispered: "Duke, is it okay?"

Zhang Dun had a stern face and was cold. He snorted and said, "Send the message to the Imperial City Department and keep a close eye on me!"

The escort raised his hand and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Dun did not get on the carriage, his face was stern, his eyes were burning, and he put his right fist not far from his chin, thinking about continuing to walk.

Duke Qi was still lucky. The list was not complete. Even his quibblings were far less than Zhang Dun found!

"Go to the Ministry of Personnel!" Zhang Dun suddenly turned around and the carriage.

The guards did not say anything, so the guards called out and turned Zhang Dun's protection strictly to the Ministry of Personnel.

At this time, Princess Qi'an arrived outside the Cining Hall and was talking to Zhou He.

Zhou He smiled on his face and said, "Princess, it's not a villain who stops you from entering. The Empress Dowager is really taking a nap."

Princess Qi'an said with a rare smile on her face, "Official Zhou, I'm waiting outside. I haven't come to pay my respects to my mother for a long time. I'm here today and I'll see you no matter what."

Zhou He hesitated and said, "Princess, you also know that the King of Yan just died of illness and the Empress was in a bad mood. I don't know when I will wake up..."

Qi An seemed a little dissatisfied with his face, and quickly covered it up and said, "Then I'll take a look, so that I can feel at ease when I go back."

Zhou He still looked hesitant and said, "Princess, this is not suitable...why, why don't you come again another day?"

Princess Qi'an looked at Zhou He and suddenly stepped forward, with a cold face and said, "Official Zhou, tell me the truth, is it because my mother doesn't see me?"

"Oh,"

Zhou He stamped his feet and said, "Princess, how could you say that? You grew up in front of the Empress. The Empress loves you the most. Who doesn't know in this palace..."

Princess Qi'an couldn't tell it. Zhou He's artificial movements and words were simply self-indulgent.

Princess Qi'an frowned, thinking about the strange scene at home, stared at Zhou He for a moment, and said, "Then I'll go see the concubine."

Zhou He's expression froze and he didn't say anything.

Princess Qi'an saw it, looked up at the Cining Hall again and said, "Official Zhou, Zhang Dun has gone to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Shouldn't you tell me something?"

Zhou He stepped back a little calmly and said with a smile: "Since the princess is tired, then go back early."

Princess Qi'an refused to say a word about Zhou He, which was very different from her attitude when she entered the palace last year, and her anxiety became increasingly serious.

She didn't say much and turned around and left.

Zhou He looked at her back, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went back.

Empress Dowager Gao was sitting in the yard at this time, basking in the sun.

Zhou He came back and said in a full silence.

Empress Dowager Gao listened quietly, and after Zhou He finished speaking, she reached out and pulled the blanket, and sighed: "Qi'an is the most introverted and proud among the many children, and no one can take it seriously. Marrying Qi Cheng is also a marriage. I know that they are in harmony for so many years... However, I was still a little surprised when Qi Cheng reached into the palace. Do you think that those in the Political Affairs Hall are involved with him, at least they have a tacit understanding?"

It is not an easy thing to depose the queen and establish the queen. Even Zhao Xu cannot force himself to be forced to do so. It requires sufficient reasons to get the support of the court.

Empress Dowager Gao has experienced four dynasties and has a very vicious political vision.

In history, the deposed Empress Meng and the founding of Meiren Liu were all behind Zhang Dun.

Zhou He bent over, thought for a while, and whispered: "The official family is not a person who can be tricked by others. If those people really interfere in the harem, they will not be in the peaceful situation now."

Empress Dowager Gao thought about Zhao Xu's repeated cleaning of the palace. In half a year, the guards around him changed four times. He nodded slightly and said, "Zhang Dun is now all thanks to the support of the official family. The control in the palace is strict. He really may not dare to intervene. Qi Cheng, being smart is smart, but he jumped into someone else's trap..."

Zhou He listened, secretly frightened.

He had thought that Concubine Wang was planned by Duke Qi, and he became alarmed after listening to Empress Dowager Gao's words.

The official may not have known about the Wang Jieyu incident in advance, but he may have been waiting for such an opportunity!

Thinking back to Zhao Xu's cooking of Wang Jieyu in the morning without any delay, Zhou He felt the more likely he thought.

After all, the 'The Queen's witchcraft curse harms the official family' should not be let go of the great crimes without forgiveness.

Zhou He looked at Empress Dowager Gao, bent down with a cautious look on his face.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was still in a confidential room. The "military reform" was of great importance. Even if he was taking it step by step, he had to be steady. He had to stabilize the north and the south, and he could not be careless at all.

Zhang Feng sat down at Zhao Xu and said, "The official family is tentatively set to be five routes in the north. Each army is in charge. The general manager has taken office. The purging of the army has begun. There are some chaos. I plan to go there again in person."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Accurate."

On the way, they formulated a general plan, and when encountering practical problems, they had to adjust them again and again. Many things cannot be accomplished by planning.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, looking at Zhang Feng, Xu General said, "The Chaoxu is about to end. There will be a lot of things in the Political Affairs Hall. I guess there will be no more empty space in the future. I will leave the city tomorrow and meet Zong Ze and Zhong Jianzhong."

Around Kaifeng City, there are five armies, two infantry, two cavalry, and one firearm army.

Now, there is an infantry army, led by Zong Ze. The cavalry in Zhong Jianzhong is still under rapid construction.

Xu General responded and said, "The official family, the general manager, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, will have a rough list of the strategies of the southern armies. We will hold a meeting to discuss tomorrow. If there is no problem, we will submit it to the official family for the imperial examination."

Zhao Xu had read this list a long time ago, and many of them were chosen by him. Xu Jiang said this just to follow a process.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "The Liao people don't have to worry about it. Tubo and Dali are not a big problem. The biggest problem is Xixia! They may not be willing to lose last year, so they must keep a close eye on it."

The Western Xia often attacked hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Song Dynasty was busy reforming the army. It was really a careless one.

Xu General raised his hand and was about to speak, Chen Pi quickly stepped in and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official family, Kaifeng Prefecture is said to be exhausted when he mentions some business matters. Kaifeng Prefecture's office is now clamoring."
