The Four Concubines

The Mid-Autumn Festival was a big festival in the Qin Dynasty. Although it was not as good as the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was also the standard for state banquets.

Yun Xiao did not learn these things in a systematic way, but fortunately, the elder grandson Wugou was in charge, and the arrangements were well planned, but the elder grandson Wugou was a little confused when it came to the banquet invitation, so Yun Xiao specifically told her to invite the two of them. The concubine came with me.

The eldest grandson Wugou asked the reason, but Yun Xiao just vaguely said that there are some things that need to be confirmed.

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't ask any further, he said he understood and sent someone to invite someone.

Yun Xiao is a modern person with a pair of eyes that can discover "emotions". On the day of her wedding, she felt that the two of them were not quite right. Then Concubine Li always looked at everyone with a very faint smile, but when she looked at Concubine Pang, Complex eyes.Concubine Pang was even more obvious, wishing she could get her eyes on Concubine Li.

Yun Xiao has a bold guess, but she can't tell her eldest grandson Wugou about this guess. It's not because she doesn't trust her, but she just thinks that the ancients probably don't accept it very well.

In the Zichen Palace, after learning that Yun Xiao would invite two concubines to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the eldest grandson Wuchen, who has always been quiet, said, "I think it's better for the emperor to be more careful."

Yun Xiao looked puzzled, "Huh?"

Changsun Wuchen organized the conversation, and said slowly, "The Daqin imperial family has always had a secret guard, and these secret guards only listen to people who meet two conditions. First, they must be members of the royal family, and second, they must have secret guards in their hands." token."

Yun Xiao nodded, it was the first time she knew about this, and she had never seen any secret guard tokens before.

The eldest grandson Wuchen continued, "On the day when the palace changed, when I led the troops into the palace, I didn't see a single hidden guard. If there had been a hidden guard that night, the royal family would not have been slaughtered."

Yun Xiao frowned, and asked what she had always wanted to ask, "What's going on with the changes in the palace?"

Changsun Wuchen frowned, "It was said that the commander of the forbidden army launched a coup, but the commander of the forbidden army committed suicide that night, and that's the end of this matter."

Yun Xiao sneered, "Is this the end, or is it the only way to end? What good does it do for a commander of the imperial army to instigate a change? He can be the emperor? The royal family is so clean, it's better to make up a story about his wife being killed." The royal family was forcibly brought into the palace, and he has resentment in his heart."

Changsun Wuchen lowered his head, turning a deaf ear to Yun Xiao's presumptuous arrangement of the royal family, "Then you told me to be careful just now, did you tell me to be careful about those two concubines?" Yun Xiao continued to ask.

The eldest grandson Wuchen nodded, "Before the emperor ordered me to prepare supplies secretly, I handed it over to the soldiers to be on the safe side. They reported to me a few days ago that someone was watching them secretly. Although they fought, the other party obviously There is no killing intent, just the pursuit of the escaped soldiers."

Yun Xiao thought for a while, "Are you suspecting that it's a secret guard?"

"Yes, we once worked with the hidden guards." Changsun Wuchen said with affirmation, "I can still recognize their skills. When the guards reported to me, I immediately thought of the dark guards."

"Well, but I'm the only one left in the royal family. I don't have a token in my hand, so who is this hidden guard listening to..." Yun Xiao muttered subconsciously, and unconsciously circled her thumb on her index finger.

and many more!

There are people in the royal family besides her.

"Toffee, she can be regarded as a member of the royal family..." Yun Xiao hesitated.

Under Yun Xiao's complex eyes, Changsun Wuchen nodded slowly, "When the first emperor went west, he entrusted the hidden guards to the empress to maintain the palace, so the first empress can mobilize..."

"The first concubines will definitely be transferred." Yun Xiao continued.

Yun Xiao felt that she had to re-plan. The secret guard matter was very important. If it was in the hands of Concubine Li, it would not be bad. If it was in the hands of Concubine Pang, it would be a little disadvantageous for her. After all, Concubine Pang came from the Pang family...

Yun Xiao even guessed that the changes in the palace had an absolute relationship with the Pang family. The Pang family was the head of the family. If the royal family were to be exterminated, Pang Huaibing would definitely have the power to fight. Concubine Pang is lucky.

Thinking along this line, if Pang Huaibing wants to ascend the throne, what he needs to worry about is whether he can sit on the throne in a legitimate way. The eldest grandson Wuchen has soldiers in his hands. If she is Pang Huaibing, since she has made a move, it must be arranged. will do it...

Pang Huaibing definitely has private soldiers in the capital!

These private soldiers may not be able to compare with the army in number, but they must be able to be used in a short period of time, and the gathering speed must be fast to be able to grab the upper hand.

"Where can I hide it?" Yun Xiao habitually looked up again.

The eldest grandson brothers didn't bother, and stood quietly waiting below.

"General Changsun, if something suddenly happened to the palace, what would you do?"

Changsun Wuchen answered Yun Xiao's sensitive question without the slightest hesitation, "First transfer the government soldiers and city defense soldiers to support, and then send cronies to gather the army outside the capital."

"Then how many people can you have with your government soldiers and city defense soldiers?" Yun Xiao continued to ask.

Changsun Wuchen calculated in his heart and gave an approximate number, "3000 people should be about the same."

Yun Xiao's brows deepened. There are more than 70 people in the country. It is easy to hide 3000 people, but if you want to get to the imperial city the fastest, you must be as close to the imperial city as possible.

Zichen Hall fell silent again because of Yun Xiao's thoughts. When it was time to drink tea, Yun Xiao got up, took out a piece of rice paper from the Duobao Pavilion on the side, spread it on the table, and signaled the eldest grandson brother to come forward.

It was a map, which was different from Daqin's crude lines. Yun Xiao's picture was very complete and clear, making it clear at a glance. Changsun Wuchen's eyes lit up when he saw this picture.

"Your Majesty, who made this map?" Changsun Wuchen asked impatiently. If this drawing method can be learned, it will be a strategic improvement.

Yun Xiao smiled, "I drew it myself." She ran out every day for a few days, and when she came back, she drew the streets from memory. It's too simple.

When Changsun Wuchen heard that it was Yun Xiao's painting, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth. How could Yun Xiao not understand Changsun Wuchen's thoughts, and promised with a smile, "I will teach you how to draw in a while. painting."

Changsun Wuchen nodded vigorously, not being polite to Yun Xiao at all.

Yun Xiao hooked the corner of her mouth, and motioned for the two to look at the picture, "Well, where is the prime minister's residence?"

This time it was Changsun Wuji who made the first move, pointing his finger at one place, and it seemed that the location was almost at the root of the imperial city. Based on the location of the prime minister's mansion, Yun Xiao recalled that day when she was being chased after saving the prime minister's daughter. At the T-junction where the man stopped, he pushed backwards and found the house where she had saved him.

"This area..." Yun Xiao circled an area on the map, indicating to Changsun Wuchen, "You send someone to investigate secretly, Pang Huaibing's private soldiers should be around here."

Changsun Wuchen didn't know how Yun Xiao came to this conclusion, but since Yun Xiao said so, he would definitely do it, Yun Xiao hooked the corners of his mouth, "If I find it, then I can probably sing in this play." It's even better."

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Changsun Wuchen sent people into the palace to report that he had found where Pang Huaibing's private soldiers were hiding, and had already sent people to watch in turn.

Yun Xiao sat alone in the Zichen Palace, listening to the occasional noise from outside, it was that the palace people were preparing for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yun Xiao was thinking about the cards in her hand, it was obviously a big deal, She wasn't nervous at all.

When the eldest grandson Wugou came in, he saw Yun Xiao staring at the tree outside the window in a daze.The black uniform made Yun Xiao's thin and thin lines distinct, and the somewhat delicate facial features seemed a bit solemn because of the majesty deliberately held up.

The eldest grandson Wugou looked at the young emperor, and once again felt ambivalence about whether it was suitable or not.

"You're here." Changsun Wugou looked at Yun Xiao and lost his mind, but Yun Xiao felt his eyes return to his senses, seeing that it was Changsun Wugou, his voice became much softer.

Only then did Changsun Wugou come back to his senses, nodded, and then remembered that he had something to ask, so he quickly asked, "How did you do it?"

Yun Xiao smiled, she knew the meaning of Changsun Wugou's nonsensical words, she said she wanted to invite the two concubines, but Changsun Wugou sent someone to go, but the two concubines didn't want to come, after all Even the eldest grandson Wugou, the concubine, couldn't use any means, but Yun Xiao knew about it, and got a reply that both concubines agreed after missing someone once.

Changsun Wugou thought about it and didn't know how Yun Xiao did it.

Yun Xiao didn't hide anything, first told her about the secret guard before, and then told her about her observations on the day of the wedding. To her surprise, the eldest grandson Wugou just suddenly realized this, and was not surprised. Guess, as long as they send someone to say that the other party will also go, there is no fear that they will not take the bait.

"Aren't you surprised?" Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows.

The eldest grandson Wugou returned to his usual expression, "What's the surprise? Since ancient times, there have been many such things in the palace. I just didn't expect the two concubines to..."

Yun Xiao nodded, indeed, even in the 2000-year feudal history of her own world, there were quite a few such things, and it was normal to have them here.

The two discussed how to sing the play tomorrow, and then, as usual, waited for the next day.

Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people in the capital put down their work, chatted with their neighbors, and went out to swim in the lake together, feeling comfortable and happy.

As the evening approached, the important officials of the court began to enter the palace with their families, and the imperial city began to become lively. This year, the new emperor ascended the throne and the empress was newly established. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wugou spent a lot of time preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. .

Because it was a reunion feast, a moon feast, foreign ministers entering the palace were taken directly to the imperial garden, when Yun Xiao and eldest grandson Wugou took their seats, the full moon could already be seen in the sky.

When Yun Xiao was in the early court, he had always been a taciturn "self-closing emperor", so before the banquet, Yun Xiao only picked up a few nice words before ordering the banquet to open.

Yun Xiao ate the food in small bites, but his eyes kept scanning the crowd, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see the person he was looking for. Finally, the eldest grandson Wugou gently touched Yun Xiao's hand under the table. , signaling Yun Xiao to follow her eyes.

Only then did she find the "actor" of the first play, the prime minister's daughter and the son of the Pang family. Although the lights were not as bright as the modern LED lights, Yun Xiao still recognized the two, especially Pang Yue, who was dressed like a dog. In this way, he revealed his true nature without two glasses of wine, and looked at the female relatives present with a full face.

Yun Xiao was still looking at Pang Yue, but Pang Yue's eyes suddenly turned to her eldest grandson Wugou who was beside her.

"Pa" Yun Xiao put down the wine glass heavily.

It is also miraculous that the Royal Garden, which was still drinking wine, became quiet in an instant.

Yun Xiao kept a cold face, did not suppress her dissatisfaction at all, and said in a cold tone, "Mr. Pang, what do you think?"

The daughter of the eldest grandson's family is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, and Pang Yue is a womanizer, so he naturally wanted to take a look at it if he had a ready opportunity, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by the little emperor when he raised his eyes.

It's not that Pang Yue has never seen a big scene. A little puppet emperor, how could he be afraid, so he stood up and bowed unsteadily.

"My Majesty..."

Pang Yue originally wanted to say some compliments, so he could just pass by, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Yun Xiao's cold eyes on the supreme seat.

Those eyes were too cold, and there was an undisguised murderous look in them. Pang Yue was so shocked that he couldn't say the following words at all.

Unified reply.

Regarding the CP issue, there are five supporting roles, and this is the first one I wrote. I am very happy that I like the Queen, but maybe you will also like the other ones.

Regarding the setting problem, although there is a system at the beginning, I can say that this system is to complement the big framework, and it is useless in the specific content. no.

As for the emotional line, in fact, the reason for my personal writing habits is that I don’t write too straightforwardly, but use some side descriptions, mood, eyes, and some small details to express it. You can look for it like an Easter egg. Being together is the heart I give to this person.
