I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

After confirming that the two shadow guards were fine, the sister-in-law came to Shen Changgong, lowered her head, and said in a low voice like a child who had made a mistake,

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Trouble? Any?"

Shen Changgong laughed in surprise,

"You have helped me a lot. I have been worried about not being able to find evidence of Prince Rong's guilt, but Yan Guichao came to me on his own initiative. Kidnapping a royal relative is no small crime.

I can use him as a breakthrough point to interrogate and get more evidence of Prince Rong's crimes. If you don't fall for it, do I have any reason to arrest him?

You have made a great contribution."

"Really?"

My sister-in-law's eyes regained their color and she looked at Shen Changgong with hope.

Seeing that his sister-in-law's mentality had calmed down, Shen Changgong also knew that his comfort had worked, so he smiled and warned her,

“Of course, you are very powerful, but in the future, you must never be fooled again. No matter who tells you that I am in any danger, you must not go out.

I have the ability to deal with everything. If I can't handle it, then you can't handle it either. Do you understand?"

"I see."

"Well, tell me exactly what happened this time. Come to the room and talk."

Shen Changgong brought his sister-in-law into the room. After going through so many ups and downs, his sister-in-law finally calmed down after the panic. Having survived the disaster, she instinctively wanted to throw herself into Shen Changgong's arms and cry.

But there were so many people outside now, so she resisted the urge. She couldn't cause trouble for Shen Changgong.

At that moment, she told Shen Changgong everything that happened and the conversation.

When Shen Changgong heard that Yan Guichao actually wanted to occupy his sister-in-law and humiliate her, his eyes suddenly became gloomy and cruel, which scared his sister-in-law.

"what happened to you?"

My sister-in-law looked at Shen Changgong with some fear.

Shen Changgong immediately put away that expression, smiled brightly, and said,

"It's okay, I'm just a little angry. This Yan Guichao actually dared to break the law. I must make him suffer the consequences of the law."

"Well, we must not let such a bad guy go."

My sister-in-law also pretended to be vicious and waved her little fists. She looked so cute.

Shen Changgong resisted the urge to kiss her and said,

"Come on, I'll take you home, and then I'll interrogate this Yan Guichao tonight."

Shen Changgong took his sister-in-law outside.

He already understood what was going on. His sister-in-law had indeed been deceived and made a mistake. If it were him, he would definitely analyze the matter calmly.

But if everyone in this world is as smart as him, then what is the use of Shen Changgong?

After all, my sister-in-law is a woman who never leaves the house, and she cares too much about Shen Changgong. It is normal for her to panic for a while because of her concern.

The fact that she didn't obey the other party in the end also shows that the sister-in-law still has some brains. She can see through the other party's plan and know that it is better to die than to obey.

The performance is also noteworthy.

The shadow guard brought Yan Guichao's carriage over. Shen Changgong asked his sister-in-law to get on, while he rode on a horse, took the shadow guard with him, and escorted Yan Guichao and Que Ling towards the street.

On the way, they met Shen Wanguan who had arrived. Shen Changgong asked his sister-in-law to go home with his father, and dispatched a team of shadow guards to escort them.

Shen Changgong rode his horse at full speed back to the security army camp and met the assembled security troops on the way.

He was thinking whether he should take advantage of the situation to storm Prince Rong's mansion.

At this moment, Gongsun Wan'er rode a fast horse, shouted "get out of the way", and rushed to Shen Changgong.

When Shen Changgong led people to rescue his sister-in-law, Gongsun Wan'er returned to the palace to report to the empress.

"Shen Changgong, I just received intelligence that an hour ago, Prince Rong and several other powerful officials with military authority all left the city and went to the central army camp outside the city."

After hearing what Gongsun Wan'er said, Shen Changgong frowned and said,

"Are they going to rebel?"

"I don't know, but it's very likely that he did it to save his life. His Majesty said that it's very likely that Prince Rong knew about Yan Guichao's plan. To prevent the plan from being exposed and Yan Guichao from being caught by you, he took the initiative to hide in the military camp outside the city with his sons and wife.

After learning that Prince Rong had left, several other powerful officials also brought their families to the military camp, calling it an inspection, but in reality they were trying to avoid you and intimidate Your Majesty.

Shen Changgong narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said,

"What did your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty's point is, don't raid the homes of those powerful people yet, but let them cool down for a while. Unless they are pushed to the limit and have no way out, they won't take the risk of rebellion. They are also afraid that the soldiers will rebel against them.

His Majesty said that you should first interrogate Yan Guichao and obtain the confessions of those powerful officials. Then, in the next few days, she will also distinguish who are the loyal and who are the treacherous ministers among those who impeached you.

On His Majesty's birthday, they will surely come back to congratulate him, and then we will catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go back."

"it is good."

Gongsun Wan'er and Shen Changgong walked side by side, taking the two prisoners with them to the security army camp.

"Oh right, His Majesty has sent someone to take over the Duke of Ying's regiment. What about the Duke of Liang? He had always been at Prince Rong's residence. If Prince Rong escaped this time, there was no way he wouldn't have taken him with him.

If the Duke of Liang returns to his army and regains control, then all our efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry, His Majesty has already calculated everything. When the wanted notice was posted yesterday, His Majesty dismissed Duke Liang from his military command and ordered him to return for questioning. He then sent a general to take over the regiment."

"okay, I get it."

Shen Changgong nodded and thought as he walked. If a corps is freed up, the empress will place one of her people there. After all the powerful people die, won't all the 200,000 central troops fall into her hands?

Then when will I be able to take control of the military power and maintain my position?

Shen Changgong felt vaguely uneasy. First of all, he had no confidants and could not command so many military corps by himself. Moreover, the Central Army was the military corps of the country and the court, not his own private army.

I still feel uneasy about using it.

How can I get some soldiers who are loyal to me?

Or, when the war breaks out, let the empress take the initiative to give him military power and let him command the army?

My head hurts, I really want to rebel...

The key point is that Yan Fuyao is not an easy woman to deal with. While he is charging into battle, arresting people and ransacking their homes, she can coordinate all of this in the palace without leaving.

What an interesting collaboration and confrontation.

Suddenly, Shen Changgong smiled. Really, why bother competing with his wife? Once he gets her and sleeps with her, he can get whatever he wants, right?

You are the emperor's husband, and you are at the peak of your career from the start. Who would bother to rebel?

Something is wrong.
