"I have ordered people to go, but I'm afraid it's not a big deal!" Zhou Di shook his head and said, "The one who took action should be the main culprit in the Golden Dragon Panyue case. His movements were straightforward and tight. The eighteen inner guards were not weak, and they were all killed with one knife, and the wounds were all on the neck."

"It's him again?" Shao Shuhuan frowned slightly, "This man is very capable."

Emperor Zhou coughed dryly and whispered: "What I don't understand is that this man knows the terrain of the palace as much as he is. There are no traces left near the cold palace. He should be very familiar with the terrain of the Forbidden Palace."

This time, Shao Shuhuan did not say anything, and was familiar with the terrain of the Forbidden Palace and was still a master of swordsmanship. The answer seemed to be about to come out.

"What I can't understand is that even if he is inappropriate in his plan, there is no need to rob Wei'er!" Emperor Zhou sighed in a low voice, "I have ordered people to keep an eye on Prince An's mansion. When he leaves the city, he can only hide the people in the mansion and wait a few days to find a way to leave the city."

Shao Shuhuan nodded, thought for a while before saying, "In this way, I can only turn all the responsibilities on the prince?"

"It was his!" Emperor Zhou suddenly chuckled when he heard this, "If he doesn't bear it, can he let Jinzhi fight for him?"

"Mizhou..." Emperor Zhou waved his hand, "No matter what happens to Mizhou, I have sent experts here. I think there will be news soon. Wait for the inner guard to send the news back and make a decision. How to hide the loss of Mizhou's fake pond newspaper and dragon card?"

Shao Shuhuan nodded: "Except for the prince being robbed, to my surprise, the rest of Shuhuan has been arranged."

"I am the one who has admitted all the charges in front of all the court officials. Is there any way to excuse him?" asked Emperor Zhou.

"This is easy. If the prince disappears, I guess the imperial guards will not be able to find the prince. At least for a moment, we can't find him. As long as we announce it to the public, it will be said that the prince forced his father to admit all the charges for him." Shao Shuhuan said.

Emperor Zhou looked at him thoughtfully, and was a little surprised. He was so skillful about such a method of frame-up?

"Shuhuan——" Emperor Zhou whispered.

"Huh?" Shao Shuhuan was stunned and asked hurriedly, "What are your instructions?"

"Sit down and talk!" Emperor Zhou said, while sitting down on the soft couch next to him, patting him, and signaling him to sit next to him.

Shao Shuhuan nodded and sat down beside him. Emperor Zhou said again: "Thank you so hard these days!"

"Your Majesty said this, Shuhuan was ashamed of his own silence." Shao Shuhuan said with a wry smile. Thank you. There is indeed one thing. He started to arrange this situation since Nanxia came back. Although the affairs in Mizhou seemed to have exceeded his control, overall, the results were pretty good, and minor accidents were always inevitable.

At the same time, to think about it better, it would be a good thing to take this opportunity to expose all people with ulterior motives.

Now that these people are exposed, Emperor Zhou can at least suppress them. If he waits for him to ascend the throne one day in the future, these people are jumping out, after all, where is his life experience?

If the reputation is not good, it may not be able to suppress the world's long-lasting words - those censors)+ can make some tricks, not to mention that it is a bit troublesome.

"Shu Huan, in fact, in addition to Ji Ming, there is another sword master who is familiar with the terrain of the Forbidden Palace!" Emperor Zhou suddenly whispered.

Shao Shuhuan was stunned, then he understood and whispered: "Empress Xian?"

Emperor Zhou nodded gently: "You know the relationship between her and Mianzhi!"

"I just heard that the prince was robbed, and my first reaction was - father!" Shao Shuhuan said.

Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "I also doubt him. After all, he is the only one who has the motive, and Ji Ming... I really can't think of any motive he has to rob the prince."

"Your Majesty, that—" Shao Shuhuan wanted to ask out the doubts in his heart, but felt that it was really hard to speak out. Brother and sister... It was really hard to accept for him.

"What are you going to ask?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That Shao Zhu- do you know?" Shao Shuhuan asked in a low voice.

"I know, in name, she is my daughter-in-law, why don't I know? A very beautiful girl, like when Mianzhi was young." Emperor Zhou smiled, "What's wrong?"

"It's her!" Shao Shuhuan said lightly. Emperor Zhou's attitude made him a little depressed. Since he knew, he actually agreed to such a marriage?

"I know, it's just a pity for that child. However, she should have thought of it for a long time." Emperor Zhou still said lightly.

Shao Shuhuan was stunned and then realized that it was normal to die a girl in Emperor Zhou's mind. For him, in order to achieve his goal, anyone could die. The ministers and the people were originally victims of politics and could be placed on the altar at any time.

Is there a king's land under the world? Since everything is just the king's private property, what does it matter if a girl dies?

Emperor Zhou saw all Shao Shuhuan's surprise and asked with an understatement: "Do you want to ask me, I know that the prince is a child who is spared, why did I let the Shao family's daughter marry into the Eastern Palace?"

Shao Shuhuan smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, Shuhuan doesn't understand. It would be fine if Your Majesty doesn't know. Since you know, why do you still want Miss Shao to marry into the Eastern Palace?"

"Do you really want to know?" asked Emperor Zhou.

"Well! Shuhuan is very curious!" Shao Shuhuan said that even in ancient times, ** seemed to be disgraceful to everyone, not to mention that the ancient concept of chastity was much more rigorous than his previous life. If a woman committed adultery, she would be sentenced to death.

Of course, these things are usually only targeted ordinary civilians. He read some historical books in his previous life. Are there few messy things in the royal family born in officials and even noble families?

Perhaps in the eyes of Emperor Zhou, these are just small things.

"He was not satisfied with the marriage that year." Emperor Zhou pondered for a moment and began to tell the reasons in a low voice, "At that time, I was still the crown prince and the empress dowager was the queen. Although the Fang family had no power in the Jiangnan area, they had only gained the honor and favor by climbing to the Shao family. The empress dowager wanted to develop his own power, but the head of the Shao family back then was not an easy person, so naturally he could not allow the Fang family to become bigger. All he wanted was control.

”

Shao Shuhuan was a little surprised. From the calm statement of Emperor Zhou, he could see that Emperor Zhou seemed to have little respect for the Empress Dowager Xian and his own biological mother.

Emperor Zhou said, pondered for a moment, and spoke again: "It can be said that the Shao family made an indelible contribution, and of course the Shao family is the one who benefits the most. Shao Xuan is the prime minister and has the highest position, but the Fang family's immediate relatives are still in Jiangnan..."

Shao Shuhuan naturally knew that Shao Xuan was his cheap grandfather, Shao She's father.

"The Empress Dowager is also smart. She knows that if she wants to promote the power of her mother's family, the only way is to climb the Shao family in the capital. Otherwise, even if she is the queen, if there is no power in the court outside, it will be empty." Emperor Zhou said lightly, "Shuhuan, although I hate these messy things, as a royal descendant, marriage is generally the case. It is impossible not to link it to interests and power - although it is so high-sounding on the surface."

Shao Shuhuan nodded bitterly. This is true. In the past life, those historical records, and the disputes between the harems of which dynasty and which generation directly involved court politics?

Emperor Zhou paused and glanced at the teacup placed on the table. Shao Shuhuan hurriedly got up, poured a cup of hot tea, and held it to him with both hands.

Emperor Zhou took it, took a sip, and continued, "The best way for the Empress Dowager to climb to the Shao family is to marry - so she naturally thought of her niece in her mother's family.

The Empress Dowager argued that the Shao family had to give her some face. Moreover, Shao Xuan had met Fang and believed that Fang was born to a great family, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, so he agreed immediately.

However, Jinzhi did not like Fang. At that time, Jinzhi wanted to marry Princess Huaguang, my emperor sister!"

When Shao Shuhuan heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Don't the old man of the Shao family know?"

"What's the use of knowing?" Emperor Zhou sneered, "Shao Xuan's heart is Shao You, who inherited the family inheritance. He was not exempted from this. When he was young, he was also making trouble, even more than Shao Ting. He stayed outside in brothels at the age of fourteen or five, drank and fought, and did everything."

Shao Shuhuan also heard some rumors about Shao She, but he later became the prime minister and took power in power, which made people afraid and dared not gossip in private.

"Don't look at him like this now. There are so many bastards when he was young!" Emperor Zhou snorted coldly, "The first time I saw him was not in the Shao family, but at a family dinner of a foreign relative, he pretended to be a zither and went to hook up with an actor. As a result, I mistakenly thought that he was a child actor. Seeing that he was handsome and proficient in music, I ordered people to force him to take him back to the East Palace."

Shao Shuhuan was stunned. Although he knew something about Shao She and Emperor Zhou when he was young, he still felt strange and inexplicable when Emperor Zhou said it bluntly. He is the Supreme Emperor of the Nine Five. Could he not hide such a ridiculous thing?

"I know what you are thinking. There are too many people in the capital who know about this. I can't hide it even if I want to cover it up." Emperor Zhou said bluntly, "Anyway, it's just a sentence. Shao Xuan really didn't like Jizhi back then. Later, Shao Xuan had no choice but to add sticks to him, hoping that he could make a little progress. But the more he beat him, the more he became, the more he was dissolute. If it weren't for the old lady of the Shao family, I was afraid Jizhi would be beaten to death by him.

Later I met him and compared him with him, he

When I entered and left the Eastern Palace, I thought maybe he had a job with a half position, Shao Xuan probably pointed it out..."

"So, Your Majesty asked him to go to the palace for an examination?" Shao Shuhuan asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Emperor Zhou smiled, "However, even if I don't have my help, it would be fine to take the imperial examination. But I didn't expect that while the Queen Mother's wedding decree was also given to Shao Mansion at the same time - Jin Zhi was very painful at the time, but Shao Xuan had already agreed.

After marriage, he still hangs out in brothels. Although he is a attendant of the Eastern Palace, he doesn't often take care of the affairs and is also very cold to his newlywed wife. Shao Xuan gave him a house, so he doesn't argue. But he is making trouble outside, so he calls him over and teaches him a lesson.

I have never known how Jinzhi became the master of Dugu Sect in Xuanji Cave. I only knew that Jinzhi took Dugu Shiqing back and told Shao Xuan that he was going to divorce Fang and marry Dugu Shiqing. The father and son completely turned against him. Jinzhi knelt in the snow for two days and one night, begging Shao Xuan that old man, but Shao Xuan did not agree, and Fang was already pregnant at that time.

When I ran to Shao's house to bring Mianzhi back to the Eastern Palace, Mianzhi had already breathed a breath, and then Mianzhi kept recuperating from the Eastern Palace until Fang was about to give birth. Fang was said to be difficult and had to struggle for a day and a night. Mianzhi liked children very much. After Fang gave birth to him, he never asked to leave Fang's words, and even was very tolerant of his wife - this caused what happened later..."

When Emperor Zhou said this, he sighed in a low voice, took another sip, put it down, and continued to whisper: "I can ascend the throne, and I will make a contribution to the great throne. No, it should be said that most of it is the contribution of the throne. Otherwise, the old emperor intended to abolish my position as the crown prince and make Ji Ming the heir.

With Wei'er's reasons, after I ascended the throne, I naturally valued the Dugu family, and behind it, he was extremely smart and good at strategy, and he was even more in the water.

But because of the Dugu family, Fang used the power of the empress dowager to make trouble for him. For the sake of the child, Jinzhi began to tolerate her blindly. This led to Fang later, she went to the palace to ask the empress dowager for marriage and betrothed his eldest daughter to Wei'er. When Jinzhi knew about it, the empress dowager's imperial decree had been issued."

Shao Shuhuan sighed, so that's it!

What he didn't know was that Fang had asked Shao She to mention it and betrothed Shao Zhu to the crown prince, but Shao She scolded her. In anger, Fang went directly to the palace and begged the queen mother to do the matter decisively.

Waiting for Shao She to find out, he wanted to stop him, but the Queen Mother had issued an imperial edict and everything was too late.

"Your Majesty, you should know it?" Shao Shuhuan asked, "What a great thing the prince's marriage is, how could the Emperor of Zhou not know about it in advance?"

"I naturally know!" Emperor Zhou smiled bitterly, "Shuhuan, please give me a reason. When the Empress Dowager wanted to marry, how could I refuse? The girl from the Shao family is both talented and beautiful, born in a noble family, and can be the crown princess. The Empress Dowager has seen him again, and he can't even replace him. What do I say? I can't tell the Empress Dowager that Wei'er can't marry the Shao family girl, right?"

Shao Shuhuan was stunned. No wonder Shao She couldn't even replace the person. It turned out that the Empress Dowager had seen Shao Zhu. Once the person was replaced, she would wait for Shao Zhu to pass through the door. How could the Empress Dowager not know when she saw him? How could she hide this ridiculous tragedy? Shao She could only bear the pain and marry her daughter into the East Palace.

"To be honest, Jinzhi had consulted me to discuss killing the empress dowager, but I didn't agree. I couldn't kill my mother for his daughter, right?" Emperor Zhou said with a wry smile.

Shao Shuhuan changed the hot tea to Emperor Zhou again and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, did you know about the prince? You should have known it in advance, right?"

"I know." Emperor Zhou did not hide it, and said the truth, "I'm going to say that I was omnipotent to fight for the throne with Ji Ming back then, and the means were inevitable. Later, the emperor summoned us and set a strange rule - whoever had the emperor first would pass the throne to whom."

It is not a secret that the royal family has difficulty in inheriting their descendants. Shao Shuhuan naturally knew that the decision of the late emperor was not an exaggeration, and to a large extent, it even avoided the influx between Emperor Zhou and Ji Ming.

"First, one of Ji Ming's concubines became pregnant, and I became anxious. At that time, a new imperial physician came to the Imperial Hospital, so I secretly summoned him to the East Palace to ask for a good child, hoping to get one son and half a daughter." Emperor Zhou said with a wry smile.

"Doctor Cheng?" Shao Shuhuan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, it's him!" Emperor Zhou did not hide it and said straightforwardly, "But the conclusion he gave made me even want to die."

Shao Shuhuan looked up and saw Emperor Zhou's face pale, and the royal family was having difficulty in having children. The problem may not be caused by women. In the polygamy system, it is impossible for every girl to have a childbearing problem.

Shao Shuhuan had long suspected that the royal family had difficulty in having children. The problem should be that there was a certain hereditary disease in the men of the Ji family, which greatly reduced the chance of fertility of the royal family.

Emperor Zhou held the teacup, and there was a hint of trembling in his voice. Obviously, he could not accept such things no matter what.

"I went to discuss with Jinzhi, but he disagreed. But I didn't have time to wait - Cheng Chen said that although it was not total despair, the chance was too low. Therefore, I got Jinzhi drunk, used some medicine, and selected two good looks from the palace maids I personally served, and achieved good things with him." Emperor Zhou whispered, "Then, there was Wei'er..."

Shao Shuhuan shook his head and didn't say anything. Prince An's concubine probably had a problem later. The child was not born. The medical skills in this world were not developed, and it was still a big problem for women to have a safe childbirth.

As for whether Prince An’s child was artificially deprived or other reasons, Shao Shuhuan was too lazy to worry about it. Anyway, everything is now a foregone conclusion.

Emperor Zhou looked up and looked at Shao Shuhuan and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would be there. When I learned that you existed, I was so happy that I didn't close my eyes for several nights. I just hoped to find an opportunity to see you..."

Shao Shuhuan smiled and sighed softly in his heart. He and Emperor Zhou were not "meeting" by chance in Bazhen Tower, it was obviously arranged by Emperor Zhou.
