Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 435 The Truth
Could it be that Shen Wenqing wanted to betray her and join the Queen Mother?

Feng Jin couldn't help being suspicious, the Empress Dowager had used the position of imperial concubine to win over Shen Wenqing before, and he was obviously moved.

"He wanted to see what the Queen Mother's real purpose was, and, he said, the Queen Mother had escaped from him, and he wanted to make meritorious deeds."

The suspicion in Feng Jin's heart turned into worry, and his long black eyebrows frowned into Sichuan characters, "How could he beat the Queen Mother? Once the Queen Mother finds out his thoughts, he will die!"

"Don't worry, he will protect himself."

Wuming didn't linger too much on this issue, and mentioned other things, "In addition to Shen Wenqing, I found something else."

"what?"

"The person who rescued the queen mother is not an ordinary person."

"How to say?"

Wuming frowned slightly, "I don't know who the other party is, but I know that the other party is very capable. In addition to the general masters raised by the royal family, there are also people in the world involved in this matter."

Feng Jin's complexion was a bit ugly, why are more and more people involved?
"What kind of people in the rivers and lakes?"

"From the perspective of acting style, it looks like a dead door."

Feng Jin's face changed greatly, "How could it be a door to death?"

"It's not surprising that it's the door of death. The door of death is doing these kinds of business. Collecting money to save people and killing people with money is the same anyway. As long as there is money to be made, the door of death will take over the business. It’s normal to save people.”

If it was the dead door led by the sect master, maybe he would not do such a thing against her. Thinking of the sect master still lying in the Daxiangguo Temple, Feng Jin felt a little uncomfortable, and decided to take time to see him.

"There is another very strange thing, Jin, I want to tell you."

"You said."

Wuming thought for a while before slowly saying, "That night, after I sent you back to the palace, I carefully inspected every plant and tree in Tianci Temple, as well as the location and method of every hidden guard's death, and I found one thing , The other party surrounded and killed the hidden guards, it seems to have used military tactics, it is not a simple method of killing people in the rivers and lakes, swarming up, but like an army fighting method, first used the method of transferring the tiger away from the mountain, and asked people to transfer some of the hidden guards, and put them away. Fifty hidden guards were besieged and killed separately, and some of them were lured out and killed with a bang, and then they closed the door to catch thieves, and trapped the rest in a small courtyard. I feel that the leader is not only proficient in military art, He is also good at actual combat. This also verified my guess, there are a total of 50 people I have trained, if it is an ordinary fight, it is impossible to lose so much."

"You mean that the leader may be a general who often leads troops in battle?"

Nameless nodded, "It's at least [-]% possible."

He paused for a while, and then said, "I have asked the hidden guards to investigate, who are the generals who disappeared without reason in those few days."

The news of the first batch of dark guard flying pigeons was sent back five days later. It was now October, and Feng Jin's pregnancy was getting heavier and heavier. She couldn't sleep well every night, and her calves began to swell. Waking up with a cramp.

Wuming never left again, and comforted Feng Jin all night long.

When the news was sent to Feng Jin, it was the barracks at the bottom of the northern border defense line. In those few days, two generals disappeared for no reason, one was a fifth-rank general and the other was a sixth-rank general.

Wuming denied it on the spot, "It can't be them, the empress dowager's rank cannot be so low, and it is impossible for someone who has the ability to lead the people in the rivers and lakes and the masters of the royal family to surround and kill the emperor's secret guards." rank."

When the second batch of news was sent back, Wuming and Feng Jin had just finished their breakfast, and Wuming was walking with Feng Jin in the imperial garden, when the news arrived.

This time it was the section guarded by Zhong Mo on the Northern Xinjiang defense line. In those few days, two generals disappeared for no reason, one of the third rank and one of the fourth rank.

"Is it them?"

Wuming was a little hesitant to make up his mind, but a sentence in the biography of the dark guard Flying Pigeon aroused Wuming's idea.

"General Zhong Mo, because he was infected with the wind and cold, he was recuperating in a courtyard for six days. The doctor told him to let the general rest in peace. Therefore, during these six days, no one saw the general."

Zhong Mo?

This sentence also aroused Feng Jin's idea, and he frowned, "Could it be him? I've never heard that he has friendship with the Queen Mother, so it can't be his..."

Wuming didn't answer, but called a secret guard to come in, "Call Pei Xiu immediately, and Lord Qi and Lord Song also summoned the palace, saying that His Majesty has something urgent to call."

The dark guard took the order to leave.

Half an hour later, Lord Qi and Lord Song appeared in a hurry. Song Ming was in good spirits, although he was a little out of breath, but still bright and bright. Qi Heng was hurriedly called back when he just returned to the mansion because of his old age. It seemed that he was out of spirits, and his face was very bad, with an expression that if it wasn't a very urgent matter, he would never end with you.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter? There is nothing important this morning."

Qi Heng said a little unhappy, Feng Jin smiled slightly, comforted him a few words, and then said, "Wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for Pei Xiu."

It took Pei Xiu a quarter of an hour to jump off the roof. Ever since he was demoted to a commoner, he seldom walked through the main entrance of the palace. He always flew in from the city wall. His coming and going turned a blind eye.

"I called you here because I want to ask you something, what do you three think of Zhong Mo?"

The two of Qi and Song looked at each other, His Majesty is so eager to seize the military power of the general so soon?Could it be Wuming's instigation?

Feng Jin looked around at the three of them, seeing Qi and Song's eyebrows into her eyes, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Pei Xiu, "Say it first!"

"Zhong Mo is worthy of the position of Great General."

Pei Xiu also thought that Feng Jin wanted to drive Zhong Mo down and give Wuming the position of General. He did not approve of Feng Jin doing this, and it would easily force Zhong Mo to lead the Zhong family army to rebel.

Qi and Song had the same thoughts as him, Qi Heng quickly answered, "Pei Xiu's words are very true, Your Majesty shouldn't be so impatient."

"impatient?"

Feng Jin's eyes widened. She was in the late stages of her pregnancy, and her brain was not enough. On the contrary, Wuming figured it out first, and said coldly, "Ah Jin didn't want to take his position as a general to me, but because of the recent Some things may be related to Zhong Mo, so I want to ask if you know Zhong Mo."

Qi and Song suddenly realized, Pei Xiu frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Wuming took a deep look at him, "The Queen Mother was rescued, and the person who rescued her was a person who was proficient in the art of war and good at actual combat. The secret guards have been investigating for a long time, and Zhong Mo is very suspicious."

Pei Xiu's face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything. Although he knew that the Queen Mother was not so easy to be trapped, he didn't expect to be rescued so simply and neatly.

Qi and Song didn't know anything about the queen mother at all, and they were confused.

Feng Jin succinctly and clearly said the previous matter, and Qi and Song had complicated expressions on their faces after hearing this.

Qi Heng sighed and said quietly, "Although your Majesty's house arrest of the Empress Dowager will be held for disobedience and disobedience, your Majesty has no choice but to do it, and you can't blame your Majesty. Back then, the late emperor's father's heirs were not prosperous, and the concubines in the harem were either unable to conceive, or If you are pregnant, you can't give birth. Even if you give birth, it will be stillborn. The three or two princes who survived with difficulty will die inexplicably. The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty suspected that it was the empress dowager's tricks, but they couldn't find any evidence. Now he is so cruel that he wants to kill his own daughter's heir."

Pei Xiu sneered, "It's nothing strange, you don't know how cruel the queen mother is, now that your majesty's wings are stiff, and she doesn't want to listen to her control, she is naturally not happy."

"Your Majesty suspects that the person who rescued the Queen Mother was Zhong Mo?"

"If it's just a simple rescue, what I'm worried about is that the Queen Mother and Zhong Mo are colluding, trying to harm me and my emperor's son."

Qi Heng thought for a while and said, "Speaking of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Zhong Mo, as far as I know, it was the first battle with the Huns more than ten years ago. At that time, the Empress Dowager tried her best to persuade him The late emperor, on the one hand, stayed in the imperial capital, did not abandon the city and fled, and stabilized the hearts of the people and the army; on the other hand, continued to use Zhong Mo, who was defeated in several battles and was almost beheaded, to finally reverse the defeat."

"But after this incident, the Empress Dowager and Zhong Mo didn't seem to have much contact with each other. Zhong Mo has been guarding the northern border, and only came back every year for a few days to face the tiger charms, and then hurried back to the northern border."

Song Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth, and everyone became dizzy when he spoke, "The Queen Mother and Zhong Mo are old acquaintances!"
