Chapter 221: Lishan’s Horror (1)
"I report to the king, I believe that the rumors that the king of Lu is plotting to seize the crown prince is purely speculation, and it is insignificant. If the king is really worried about the king of Lu, please ask the king to move to Lishan and check it out for himself. The project of leaving the palace!" Cheng Rong, the senior doctor, reported back.

"The widow has already planned this for a long time. Now that the imperial court is Haiyan and Heqing, the power is in the widow's hands. The widow can expand some ostentation and go on tour frequently, which can also appease the hearts of the people. In addition, there is another person who the widow can't rest assured about outside the border here. , this time, the widow wants to take care of him." Mingong said thoughtfully.

"Does the person your majesty mentioned refer to Young Master Die Tu?" Cheng Rong asked in surprise.

"It's him. Now that the border is stable, this person commands more than [-] troops. If things go on like this, he will definitely threaten the authority of the imperial court!" Ming Gong said bluntly.

"Is the king afraid that Jutu will collude with King Lu and threaten the capital?" Lu Kai guessed.

"That's right, one King Lu is enough to annoy everyone. If Ju Tu has a different heart and revolts under the guise of supporting King Lu as the crown prince, it will be even more terrifying to merge Jiang and Wang's two families!" Ming Gong said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Young Master Qutu is a loyal man. Last time he was in Qishan, if he had a different heart, he would have joined forces with the Xi Rong to force the palace to rebel. Why did he desperately lead his troops to rescue him? Don't doubt Mr. Dutu." Cheng Rong quickly knelt down and said.

"Hmph, it depends on whether Jutu knows what's going on." Mingong couldn't help but sneer a few times.

Thousands of miles away at Hulao Pass, on this day, Que Tu was wearing armor all over his body, and led his generals to patrol the city defense majesticly. Suddenly, he saw An Tong, who was in a hurry, running from a distance, holding a letter in his hand. letter.

"An Tong, what happened? Are you sweating so much?" Juetu happily wiped the sweat from An Tong's forehead with his hands, and asked kindly.

"My lord, look, this is a letter from the capital, delivered by Miss Axi herself." An Tong glanced at the left and right, and the generals quickly retreated respectfully. Pass the letter to Qutu.

Ju Tu opened the letter impatiently, and recognized Bao Si's handwriting.

"How is it? Young Master? What's the big deal for the Queen?" An Tong approached and asked.

"An Tong, the empress has informed us that the king has become suspicious of us, so she suggests that we immediately release our military power to the imperial court and reduce the number of troops." Jue Tu said with a leisurely smile.

In the Water Dragon Shuren Hall of Chaoyang Palace, Ming Gong was walking in the veranda outside the hall with his hands behind his back, when he suddenly noticed a slim figure flashing past.

"Isn't that Axi? Why are you in such a hurry, did you just come back from outside?" Mingong immediately questioned that figure.

"Slave Axi pays respects to the king!" Axi was wearing a purple cloak, seeing that she couldn't get away with it, she hurried forward tremblingly and saluted.

"Axi, you haven't really brought it here, where did you come from this trip?" Ming Gong asked seriously.

"Well, Your Majesty, this servant is just visiting relatives for a while, it's nothing serious." Axi hesitated.

"Axi, don't force the widow to fight with you!" Ming Gong's mouth showed a murderous look.

"Your Majesty, Axi is indeed the concubine Enzhun who went home to visit relatives. I blame the concubine. I was afraid that the government would be busy, so I didn't ask the king for instructions." Concubine.

"Well, the government is indeed very busy, Si'er, haven't you read the memorial for the widow? Early this morning, Dudu from Hulao Pass submitted the memorial, begging himself to release his military power and reduce the army. He is truly worthy of the widow Important minister." Ming Gong said with a sneer.
