Yu Jun

Tan Xuan's heart fell to the ground with a "bang" following the dropped object.

He clasped the railing tightly with both hands, leaned forward with his upper body, and stretched his eyes down, staring at the lost property that had not been noticed by the owner.

The attendant saw that his upper body was hanging dangerously outside, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeves with both hands: "Master, be careful, what's down there? Little one, go and get it."

"It's nothing." Tan Xuan retracted his body, lifted the hem of his clothes and went downstairs, took three steps in one step, and almost rolled down.

He stabilized his body in a panic, collected himself, strode downstairs, stretched out his hand to push away the two prostitutes who were in the way, and stared at the sign that fell to the ground.

There were people coming and going around, and women soldiers were sitting together on the left porch, their figures were all at the tables, and no one noticed what was going on here.

He swallowed, his hands trembling nervously, leaned over as unobtrusively as possible, looked left and right, saw that no one was looking over, and stepped on the sign.

He squatted down, pretending to wipe the upper of his shoes, covered it with his big sleeves, and quickly grabbed the brand in his hands. After getting up, he clenched his fists to cover up, and coughed a few times.

The hard wooden sign fell into his sleeve pocket, and he went upstairs to the official room as if nothing had happened, and then returned to the pavilion, greeted the guests for a while, and left together.

Getting into the sedan chair from the entrance of the Yan Pavilion, he turned his head and glanced at the Detachment Army inside.

The Detachment of Women didn't know that she had dropped something, and was still punching and drinking. Only a young man seemed to notice his gaze and looked at him.

Tan Xuan was particularly keen on the people and things that came out of the Mo residence, and he recognized this person at a glance. During the Dragon Boat Festival, he was ordered by the deputy envoy of the Jiedu envoy to go to the Zhizhou yamen to give away a sunflower fan.

He immediately turned his head, got into the sedan chair in a hurry, lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, and said in a low voice, "Go quickly."

The bearer lifted up the sedan chair and walked towards Zhizhou's Yamen.

Tan Xuan took out the wooden sign with one hand, opened the car curtain with the other hand, and looked at the wooden sign in the moonlight.

The wooden sign was no bigger than a palm, similar to the tokens of the imperial guards he had seen in Kyoto, with the word "Mo" engraved on one side, and carved with phoenix wings, which seemed to be the tokens given to the guards by Mo Lingfeng.

Tan Xuan was slightly disappointed, turned the wooden sign over, glanced at it, then widened his eyes, pale in astonishment.

The words "Dingyuan Army" suddenly pierced into his eyes.

There is only Zhenrong Army in Kuanzhou, where did the Dingyuan Army come from?
He frowned tightly, thinking about where the Dingyuan army came from, and tightly squeezed the wooden sign with both hands, sweating profusely.

"Fu Yuan!"

He remembered the bugle of the Mo family many years ago.

After a full cup of tea, he came back to his senses and quickly put the wooden sign back into his sleeve pocket.

He tried his best to calm himself down, and at the same time thought of all the clues he felt when he entered the fort many times.

The soldiers' respect for Mo Lingfeng is far more than that of a commander of the Women's Army. Zhong Jiaqing's soldiers never mentioned their attitude towards Mo Lingfeng. During the snow disaster, the things worn by the soldiers in the fortress were obviously different from the military pay and grass issued by the court. .

Seeing this wooden sign, all these doubts can be explained.

The power of the Mo family in the fort is far more than a group of women's army, but they control most of the military power.

The Mo family intends to rebel!

When did it all start?

The power change of a large army can be done so silently, it is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight, it must have passed a long time, and it has eroded the fort with countless methods.

The entire Kuanzhou officialdom may be an accomplice!
Did Qin Fang die because of discovering this?After seeing through the secret, is his life also in danger?

Tan Xuan's entire back was covered in cold sweat. He came back to his senses only when the bearer pushed down the pole of the sedan chair, got out of the sedan chair with a hunched back, and staggered two steps forward.

The attendant helped him up: "Master, have you been drunk? There is hangover soup in the kitchen."

Tan Xuan waved his hand, striding towards the study room of the inner office, the wooden sign was heavy, as if it wanted to cast him into hell.

As soon as he entered the study, he immediately closed the doors and windows, lit the candles on the case, put the wooden sign on the table, rubbed the ink with his hand, spread out the paper, and wrote a memorial with a pen.

He didn't have time to think about the words he used, and he directly told Mo Lingfeng that he had established his own army, and that most of the fortress might have been annexed. After the ink was dry, he sealed it together with the wooden sign in a sheepskin seal.

Putting the sheepskin seal in his bosom, he opened the door of the study and ordered his servants to prepare the horse immediately, and he wanted to go to the delivery shop himself.

be quick.

Once Mo Lefeng finds out that a token is missing, anyone who goes to the shop will arouse her suspicion.

Under the night, a fast horse rushed to the delivery shop, and sent the sheepskin seal to Kyoto by express delivery.

Everything did not escape Yin Bei's eyes. After confirming that the things had entered the shop, he immediately returned to Mo's Mansion, ran to Changsui Residence, and said to the awakened Yin Nan: "Quickly tell the girl, it's done."

Yin Nan got into the room and came out after a while, with a blank expression on his face, "Young lady said I got it."

In the evening of the next day, Mo Lingfeng returned to the fort with his own soldiers, and within an hour, a sentry came out of the fort with an urgent military message, galloped on horseback, and headed for the courier shop. Enter Beijing.

On June 27, Kyoto fell into a scorching heat, and there was no sign of autumn at all.

Wu Jin sat in the Hanlin Garden for several days, and when it was approaching noon, he became more and more feverish. When the servant came in, he was dressed neatly in a scarlet round-neck and large-sleeved robe. He was leaning on the desk and flipping through books. But I don't see him feeling hot.

The servant approached, only to see that Wu Jin's temples were already drenched, he cupped his hands and said, "Xueshi Wu, Master Zhang please see me."

Wu Jin put down her book, got up and went to the outside of the garden in person, supported Zhang Gongfeng who wanted to salute, and said with a smile: "The sun is so bright, why is the nobleman here at this time? But Your Majesty has an order?"

Zhang Gongfeng's face was covered with oil, his hot collar was loose, his sleeves were rolled up, and he nodded with a smile: "Exactly, if it wasn't for His Majesty's order to invite you to discuss matters, I wouldn't take this trip, it's too hot."

He took a look at Wu Jin, saw that Wu Jin's clothes were in order, his face was clean, and he looked at him comfortably, he couldn't help but secretly thought that the Jiyang County King is not authentic, if his own family can't marry his daughter, why not allow others to marry?

He wiped his face with his hand: "Let's go now, Your Majesty is in Wenzheng Palace."

Wu Jin nodded in response, and didn't ask the emperor why he summoned him. Instead, Zhang Gongfeng thought about his old feelings and said a few more words: "It's the three ministers, the second envoy and the Minister of the Household Department who are here, and they are arguing endlessly, so your majesty asked me a question." Who is staying in Hanlin Garden today, I heard that it is you, His Majesty said please come over."

After hearing this, Wu Jin knew that it was about the treasury again: "Thank you for your reminder."

The two walked all the way to Wenzheng Hall. When they got outside the hall, Wu Jin stopped, and Zhang Gongfeng went inside to report.

There was a summons soon, and Wu Jin stepped inside. As soon as he entered the hall, the summer heat disappeared, and a cool air hit from both sides.

Icebergs are placed at the four corners of the hall, and the palace servants hold cooling fans to blow the cool wind slowly into the hall. Bamboo curtains are hung on the windows on both sides. When the wind blows, they ripple like green waves, making the hall even more quiet.

Wu Jin stepped forward, bowed to the emperor, and saw that in addition to Zhang Gongfeng's three principals, deputy envoys, and household ministers, there were also the prince and Wei Fan in the hall, and they also bowed one by one.
