Chapter 16 The Conspiracy Emerges

After a while, Lei Yungong took the kit and stuffed it into his arms.

He was just simply curious.

"You go back first."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Yungong waved his hand, signaling Zhang Mao to retreat quickly.

"yes."

After Zhang Maoze left, Lei Yungong looked around and saw no one was around, so he took out the kit in his arms.

Opening the tie, a piece of white paper the size of a palm came into view.

What opens when it comes into contact with water?

Sorry, he doesn't have the patience. He urgently wants to know what Xiao Guan's plan is.

I saw five big characters written on the pure white paper.

【Think twice】

Um?

Seeing this word, Lei Yungong frowned immediately.

As a senior chamberlain, he naturally knows these words, and he also knows where they come from.

How could he not know about the famous "The Analects of Confucius"?

Zhao Pu, the prime minister in the Taizu and Taizong period, once took the position of prime minister based on half of the Analects of Confucius.

But what Lei Yungong didn't understand was why the officials wrote these words to him?

Also 'open when exposed to water'?

After thinking for a long time, Lei Yungong still didn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the official gourd.

Go directly to the officials?

That is impossible.

Who knows if there is an informant secretly planted by the Queen Mother on the official side.

He is a member of the Queen Mother, and he has to withdraw from the government and communicate with the officials alone?

I'm afraid it's not the old man who eats arsenic!

After a long while, Lei Yungong shook his head and simply suppressed the question for the time being.

No matter what the official means, as long as he doesn't accept the move, that's fine.

Anyway, I have been at the imperial mausoleum recently and spent very little time in the palace. Maybe this is just a joke among the officials.

It's normal for children to behave strangely from time to time.

Immediately, Lei Yungong took a step forward and headed west along the palace road, towards the direction of Baoci Palace.

Bao Ci Hall.

Lei Yungong rushed to the entrance of the palace but was told that the Queen Mother was discussing something with someone, and the person discussing the matter was none other than Lan Jizong, who was already inside.

Inside the palace.

Lan Jizong was reporting to Liu E on the progress of the mausoleum construction.

"According to the survey by Si Xing Zhonghe, the supervisor of the Tianjian, there is a place six miles northeast of Yong'an County. It is not only surrounded by mountains, but also close to the water. The name of the place is Wollongong. The feng shui is excellent and it is suitable to be used as a mountain mausoleum."

"Yes, let's report it to the two governments another day and make a decision together with the ministers."

At this time, Mrs. Lin walked to Liu E and reported something to her in a low voice.

Of course, this matter was not caused by Lei Yun waiting in the outer hall, but by Xia Shou'en, the guardian of the Xiufeng Mountain Mausoleum, who sent a secret report.

Xia Shou'en was not only a close confidant of Liu E, but also an old minister of Zhenzong. Now he is the commander of the imperial guard and infantry (the three giants of the Forbidden Army).

With such a status, he naturally had a role in building the mausoleum. He personally led the troops to guard the imperial mausoleum. He was responsible for the safety of the mausoleum and the dispatch of personnel for the construction.

Upon hearing the secret report from Xia Shouen, Liu E immediately stopped thinking about continuing to discuss matters with Lan Jizong, and everything that needed to be discussed was discussed.

Not long after, Lan Jizong walked out of the inner hall. Lei Yungong saw Lan Jizong walking out of the inner hall. When he was about to go in, he was overtaken by someone.

The key is that he doesn't know that person yet, and he was led in personally by Lin Zhanggong.

'this……'

Seeing the two people disappearing around the corner, Lei Yungong fell into deep thought.

Who is this person?

He is actually more favored than me. Can he meet the Queen Mother first?

On the other side, after Mrs. Lin led the unknown little chambermaid into the house, she pushed him to the outside of the inner hall with great discernment.

Since it is a secret report, the fewer people who know it, the better.

Don’t you see that you have been expelled by the Queen Mother?

"The Queen Mother, Commander Xia has a secret report to submit."

The young chamberlain took out the secret letter and respectfully handed it to the Queen Mother.

Although the letter was sent by him, he did not know what was in the letter.

Liu E took the letter and glanced at the seal without leaving a trace. Seeing that the seal was intact, she waved and motioned to the waiter to wait outside.

After the chamberlain exited the inner room, Liu E opened the secret message.

After quickly browsing the contents of the letter, Liu E showed a rare expression of confusion.

The letter was written by Xia Shouen himself, and apart from him, only Xing Zhonghe, the chief of Si Tianjian, knew the contents.

The matter in the letter is top secret!

Once the news leaks out, not only Xia Shou'en and Xing Zhonghe will be in trouble, but Liu E herself will also suffer.

Although the chance of her suffering is very small.

After all, Xia Shouen and Xing Zhonghe are both hers, and the risk of leaking secrets between them is very small.

In fact, what troubled Liu E was not the issue of leaking secrets, but the content of the letter.

The dynasty has always been custom-made. After the emperor ascends to the throne, the affairs of the mountains and mausoleums will be under the control of the prime minister.

Now the envoy of Shanling is Prime Minister Ding Wei.

The relationship between Liu E and Ding Wei is very complicated. Before the fall of Kou Zhun, they were allies, but without Kou Zhun as their enemy, their relationship also changed.

Although Ding Wei was still on her side in name, Liu E knew very well that the two of them had already drifted apart.

When Ding Wei proposed the political plan (the major and non-major matters mentioned in the previous article), Liu E saw Ding Wei's ambition.

In fact, she preferred Wang Zeng's suggestion.

Liu E had only wanted to work with Ding Wei to overthrow Kou Zhun, but in the end, all of Kou Zhun's family were demoted from the capital in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Liu E suddenly discovered that after several visits to the court, Ding said that one party had occupied most of the key positions.

Even if the remaining people are not Ding Wei's confidants, they are still friends with him.

Only Wang Zeng was left in Kou Zhun's line. It was precisely because of this that when Qian Weiyan interceded for Wang Zeng, Liu E happily agreed.

The way to govern is to balance and divide and conquer. This is what the late emperor taught her.

However, she had been fascinated by Kou Zhun before and had forgotten the late emperor's sincere teachings.

By the time she reacted, the situation was already very unfavorable to her.

Therefore, she secretly sent a message to Xia Shou'en and Xing Zhonghe, asking them to cooperate internally and externally, hoping to eliminate some of Ding Wei's gangsters through the construction of the mausoleum.

The location in Wollongong was carefully chosen by Xing Zhonghe.

The Feng Shui there looks excellent on the surface, but there are unknown risks hidden inside.

If a mausoleum is built there, it is likely that an underground river will be dug.

The water coming out of the imperial mausoleum is definitely an ominous sign. If this happens, Ding Wei, who is the envoy of the mountain mausoleum, will definitely be involved.

By then, even if Ding Wei's phase cannot be eliminated with the help of public opinion, it can still give him a fatal blow.

A rare opportunity!

And the success rate is extremely high!

Liu E was very moved, but after all, it was her husband's mausoleum. She and the late emperor had known each other since they were young, and they had gone through ups and downs along the way, and their relationship was very deep.

She felt uneasy and couldn't bear to use the late emperor's mausoleum to eradicate political opponents.

"well."

After pondering for a long time, Liu E let out a long sigh.

She still couldn't make up her mind.

'Take a step and take a look.'

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the ministers of the two governments will receive the report, and we will see how they make a decision.

At this time, Liu E not only hoped to see the two ministers deny this position, but also had a glimmer of hope in her heart that Wollongong would pass the resolution.
