Chapter 437 Worrying about Six

In the imperial study, the morning light was not yet strong, but the palace lanterns were still on.

The three young royal heirs, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, have already stood up.

They usually get up very early, either to go to court with their brothers and sisters, or to do their own homework.

Among all the royal heirs, there has always been only one who is greedy for pillows and quilts.

But the one who is the sleepiest can't sleep at this moment. Where can he go to seek justice?

Xiaojiu knelt on the edge of the phoenix couch, holding a soft brocade handkerchief in her hand, and carefully wiped her mother's face.

Her movements were extremely gentle, slow and cautious, and she seemed particularly filial.

Xiaoqi and Xiaoba stood quietly on one side, one holding a golden basin filled with warm water, the other waiting for instructions.

After helping the Queen Mother wash up, the three of them sat down obediently on the soft couch where the sixth sister was resting.

Suimo, Taoyao and Yingnuo combed their hair.

Xiaojiu quietly raised his eyes, looked at Qin Zhaoyue whose eyes were slightly distracted, and asked softly,

"Sixth sister, aren't you worried about third sister?"

Bored, Qin Zhaoyue raised his hand and scratched his buttocks, saying lazily, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that the ministers of the previous dynasty will cause trouble."

Qin Zhaoyue sneered when he heard this.

"What's there to worry about?

Why do you think they discussed yesterday and asked Xuanji Guard to bring a chair into the hall?

On the civil service side, there is Prime Minister Pei in charge. He has been sitting alone in Fenggetai for fourteen years, which is no joke.

As for the military power, the eldest sister is in charge of the northern border, the second brother is guarding the southern border, and Fengjing is stabilized by the Meng family army. What kind of trouble can the local military forces cause?

Although the third sister cannot match the drastic measures taken by the queen mother when she first ascended the throne, she is by no means a weakling.

Now the most crucial move falls on Xuanji Wei.

At this moment, I'm afraid they are just hoping that someone will be unable to hold back and jump out to cause trouble, so that they can make an example of him and see who has such courage.

I wonder if Duke Zheng is brave enough. Isn't his daughter-in-law from the Cui family? How about setting up a trap and giving it a try?

Sui Mo, who was standing by, rolled his eyes quietly.

Your Highness is really always thinking about cleaning up Duke Zheng's Mansion, although that person really deserved it.

Qin Zhaoyue still had some unspoken words in his heart.

It sounds very reasonable. Putting aside the external threats, the most fatal hidden danger among the internal troubles actually lies with the Xuanji Guards themselves.

She didn't know how her mother had controlled this power in the past.

It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone intends to subvert the Dagan regime today, the fastest entry point must be Xuanjiwei.

Its authority and strength are so great that there is no corresponding check and balance.

Why did the Queen Mother give me the position of commander before she fell into a coma?

To be safe, it should be Aunt Thirteen, who is experienced and experienced, who should be the leader, and at most she can serve as a supporting role.

Qin Zhaoyue thought about this and felt that he was probably putting shackles on Xuanjiwei.

As a member of the royal family, he carries the Heavenly Plate and is protected by two second-rank strongmen.

A few days ago, he personally killed a powerful enemy who was almost breaking through to the first level, which was somewhat of a deterrent to several thousand households in Xuanji Guard.

The Queen Mother then took the opportunity to point out Yinzhe's identity and appointed him as deputy commander.

Although his strength is slightly weaker, he has a deep foundation in the Xuanji Guard, and this move can be regarded as a check and balance on himself.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

Most of these thoughts were just random thoughts I came up with last night when I had nothing to do.

Such deep scheming and planning were accomplished in such a state of mental exhaustion.

Looking ten steps ahead before taking one step has probably become an instinct.

Terrible~

Sure enough, not long after, the court meeting was over at about the same time as usual.

The three princesses returned to the imperial study. As soon as they stepped into the palace, the third princess supported the fourth sister beside her, her voice trembling slightly.

"I can't do it anymore. My legs are a little weak."

Qin Zhaoyue tutted his words, his tone filled with his usual disdain.

"Hurry up, you useless thing! The kids are waiting for you to eat."

Qin Zhaowan was still breathless and rolled his eyes.

"You really are lying down and talking without any pain in your back.

Do you think it's that easy to face all the civil and military officials?"

If she hadn't read a large number of memorials yesterday, which had been annotated by Prime Minister Pei beforehand.

With the help of my four younger sisters, I was prepared for today's situation, but I didn't know how it would end.

"Please hurry up, I'm hungry."

Qin Zhaowan was furious.

Su Quan behind him had already stepped forward quickly and said repeatedly,

"Here it comes. Sixth Prince, what do you want? I'll bring it to you right away."

"Something with flavor, not always the bland stuff."

"Okay."

By noon, the news had spread throughout Fengjing.

The aristocratic families not only sabotaged the imperial examinations, but also sent assassins into the palace to commit assassination.

It is said that His Majesty was injured as a result and the Third Princess is now governing the country.

Under the emperor's feet, the people's after-dinner conversations always revolve around state affairs.

But within a short while, people on the streets were already talking about it.

The third princess was the regent, but no one was promoted to a prince, and such important news was leaked without any concealment.

Many astute people, after a little thought, felt that the situation should be fine.

Of course, this was also due to the contribution of Xuanjiwei's secret agents in secretly guiding public opinion.

It is for this reason that Qin Zhaoyue felt the horror of this power.

He can control life and death above and influence the people's hearts below.

In just half a day, a large number of spy reports had been piled up beside Qin Zhaoyue's bed, all of which were monitoring records of the movements and speeches of officials of the fifth rank and above in the court.

The reason why it was continuously sent here was, firstly, because Qin Zhaoyue was the legitimate commander, and secondly, it was to entertain her so that she would not have nothing to do and become sleepy.

Qin Zhaoyue asked Mo Yi to read a few parts to her, but she found it boring.

The contents are similar, nothing more than being respectful on the surface and whispering in private.

If there was something really urgent, it would have been reported separately long ago. Why would she need to review them one by one?

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm getting sleepy. Call Lingduo over."

Qin Zhaoyue already has enough defense around him, but a captain of the Xuanji Guard will still be left on duty to deliver news as soon as possible.

The one guarding the imperial study at this moment was Lingduo.

Since he was personally responsible for investigating the matter of the late crown prince, it was clear that the Queen Mother had great trust in him.

"Commander-in-Chief."

"Lord Lingduo must have a lot of officials' secrets in his hands."

"yes."

"I have nothing to do, so I picked out some interesting ones to look at."

Ling Duo was silent for a moment. "I wonder whose story you want to hear, or what kind of story it is?"

Qin Zhaoyue made a face.

Lingduo had very little contact with this new boss and was unable to understand it for a while.

"Please explain clearly, sir."

Qin Zhaoyue clicked his tongue. How could he be so tactless?

"I'm feeling sleepy and bored. What information should I look at?"

Ling Duo understood immediately, "I understand."

Soon, a stack of documents was brought up.

Even though Lingduo had already screened it, it was still a thick stack.

Mo Yi, who had exchanged his value, took the top volume and read in a low voice.

"Lord Wu, the Chief Music Officer of the Ministry of Ceremonies, is having an affair with his brother's wife.

The eldest son born from the third house is actually his bloodline..."

puff!

Qin Zhaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up. The first one was so explosive?

The imperial study suddenly fell silent.

The Third and Fourth Princesses, who were handling official business beside the imperial desk, both quietly pricked up their ears without making a sound...
