in the hall.

There is still a lot of disturbance.

When Zheng Qingsong was alive before, even if he didn't go to court for several months, the civil and military officials didn't think there was any problem, but now that Zheng Qingsong died suddenly, the civil and military officials suddenly felt that they had lost their backbone.

Zheng Qingsong has sat on the throne for more than 40 years, and his prestige in the court has already reached its peak, which cannot be replaced by anyone.

However, the chaos above the court is suppressed by the cabinet and the governor's mansion, but no one can control the chaos in the harem.

Zheng Qingsong did not canonize the queen, and he has not established a queen since he succeeded to the throne.

For a long time, the harem has been jointly managed by two imperial concubines.

The two royal concubines are Concubine Xian, the mother of the eldest prince, and Concubine De, the mother of the second prince.

And under the two royal concubines, there are four other concubines, all of whom have princes, and Concubine Ming is one of them.

Since the battle for the prince, the battle in the harem has never stopped.

None of the two imperial concubines or the four imperial concubines is a fuel-efficient lamp.

at this time.

In Changming Palace.

Concubine Ming sat in front of the makeup mirror in a daze.

In her mind, she remembered every bit of her relationship with Zheng Qingsong.

Although she was very afraid of Zheng Qingsong before, but the feelings of more than 20 years are real.

Zheng Qingsong's sudden death made her feel a little sad.

"Your Majesty, there is a commotion outside." The maid Xiaolan stood behind her and said softly.

Concubine Ming twitched her eyebrows and said, "What's the trouble?"

"Concubine De and Concubine Xian are fighting in the Yumajian." Xiao Lan said in a low voice.

Yumajian is one of the 24 yamen in the palace. It is mainly responsible for the dispatch of the imperial guards in the palace. Although Zheng Qingsong transferred [-] imperial guards, there are still Longxiang Guards and Huxiang Guards in the palace.

"Longxiangwei and Huxiangwei, hehe, they dare to think about it." Concubine Ming said disdainfully.

"Ma'am, do we want it?" Xiaolan asked strangely.

Concubine Ming took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"Change your clothes. Although His Majesty is dead, the harem must not be messed up. I will guard the palace for Ming'er."

Her eyes are like swords, with a little edge shining.

Don't forget, her dream when she was young was to become the number one heroine in the arena.

Although after entering the palace, her dream has become a floating cloud, but she has never left behind in her martial arts practice.

After a moment.

Concubine Ming stepped out of the gate of Changming Palace in a heroic manner wearing a strong attire.

Twelve maids also dressed in fine attire accompanied him behind him.

A group of people hurried to the gate of the Imperial Horse Prison.

At this time, the Yumajian was in a mess.

A group of court ladies and eunuchs were fighting in front of the gate, but the eunuchs of the horse censor inside the gate lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, and there were many guards watching around.

Concubine Xian and Concubine De stood on both sides, glaring at each other.

There were many screaming eunuchs and maids lying on the ground, obviously this farce has been going on for a long time.

Although the concubines in the harem have a high status, they are actually women. They don't have much power in their hands, and at most they just order the maids and eunuchs.

Of course, there are families or forces behind them, but those forces are still unable to reach into the harem.

Chapter 176

Concubine Ming and her party came close and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Why, my sister also plans to intervene?"

Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Ming and asked in a cold voice.

"It's better for my sister to advise my younger sister not to interfere." Concubine De warned.

Concubine Ming looked at them, her eyes swept over everyone around her one by one.

The charming eyes are like a sharp sword.

"What are the guards in the palace doing? These eunuchs and maids are making such a disturbance, why don't you take them down?" She calmly looked at a square-faced captain among the guards.

The square-faced captain was also very depressed at this time.

In normal times, he would have captured these eunuchs and maids long ago, but now not only Zheng Qingsong has passed away, but even the commander of the imperial guards, Yi Anxing, is no longer in the palace.

None of them made up their minds among the guards.

Even if he was given ten guts, he would not dare to confront the two imperial concubines.

"It's a rule in the palace that any palace maid and eunuch who fights will be punished with a stick. What's the matter? Have you all forgotten?" Concubine Ming looked at him sharply.

The square-faced captain looked at Concubine De and Concubine Xian, but he still dared not make a move.

"Hmph, useless trash." Seeing him like this, Concubine Ming didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

"Xiao Lan, take them down, whoever dares to resist will be hacked to death."

She raised her eyes and said coldly.

"This palace is here, who dares to be presumptuous."

Concubine De and Concubine Xian were immediately annoyed, they put aside their previous grievances and stopped in front of Concubine Ming.

Clang!

A long knife was unsheathed, and the icy blade lay in front of the two of them.

Concubine Ming held the knife and looked at them indifferently.

"Do you think I dare to kill you?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around her, and everyone looked at her timidly.

To draw swords against the two imperial concubines, perhaps only Concubine Ming dared to do so in this palace.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian trembled in fright.

"Your Majesty has passed away, you don't know how to mourn, and you still make such nonsense, you really have no shame."

"Xiao Lan, what are you waiting for?"

Concubine Ming frowned, and looked at Xiaolan beside her.

"The slaves obey."

Xiaolan stepped forward and led a group of court ladies to take down all the fighting maids and eunuchs.

Everyone around did not dare to speak.

At this moment, a large number of hurried footsteps came.

Hundreds of warriors in black armor walked through the corridor and surrounded the surrounding area.

Seeing them, everyone's hearts even rose to their throats.

Shadow Guard!

Both His Majesty and Eunuch Wei have passed away, who can mobilize the Shadow Guard?

Everyone couldn't help feeling uneasy, even Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

"Slave Cao Zhengchun pays homage to Concubine Ming."

Cao Zhengchun came to Concubine Ming with a high voice, and directly knelt down and said.

"Greetings to the concubine Ming." Hundreds of shadow guards followed and bowed.

Concubine Ming looked down at Cao Zhengchun, a strange color flashed in her eyes.

"You were arranged by Ming'er?"

Cao Zhengchun said: "Your Highness has an order to order the servants to protect the safety of the empress."

Concubine Ming nodded slightly, and asked again: "What other arrangements does Ming'er have?"

Cao Zhengchun said again: "Your Highness ordered the shadow guards to control the palace."

Concubine Ming looked at the shadow guards around her, and said softly, "Get up, and follow Ming'er's orders."

Afterwards, she looked at Concubine Xian and Concubine De, and said: "If there is anything you can't do, you can ask me."

"The slaves obey."

Cao Zhengchun stood up and said with a silly smile: "If your lady is tired, you can go back to rest first, and leave it to the servants to handle here."

"No need, I'll watch you handle it here." Concubine Ming said.

"Yes." Cao Zhengchun said to the little eunuch next to him, "Hurry up and bring a chair for the empress."

After a while, two young eunuchs came over carrying a chair.

Concubine Ming looked at the chair and sat on it.

"Your Majesty, rest first, and this servant will deal with this group of idiots." Cao Zhengchun said with a flattering smile.

Seeing Cao Zhengchun in such a state, Concubine Ming couldn't help muttering in her heart.

The old eunuch will come.

Cao Zhengchun turned around, and said with a smile on his face: "Commander Xie Chen, take over the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and call all the captains of the imperial guards. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be imprisoned in the shadow guard prison."

After Xie Chen cupped his hands slightly, he immediately led the shadow guards into the Imperial Horse Prison.

No one dared to resist the shadow guard's attack.

As for Concubine De and Concubine Xian, they are still under the blade of Concubine Ming and have not recovered.

Half an hour later, the entire palace was under the control of the Shadow Guard.

The Shadow Guard was able to do so thanks to Eunuch Wei's remaining prestige.

……

Kyoto, outside the city.

The cavalry smashed the dust, and the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, like rapid raindrops hitting the ground.

In front of the city gate, a group of soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but panic when they saw this.

"Quickly, close the city gate!"

someone shouted.

However, he was interrupted by someone immediately, saying: "Shut up, that's His Highness Prince Rui."

Afterwards, a group of shadow guards in black costumes flooded into the city, and took over the city gate and city wall without saying a word.

When Zheng Ming arrived at the city gate on horseback, there were only shadow guards left in front of and behind the entire city gate.

Zheng Ming stood in front of the city gate on horseback, looking up at the majestic city wall.

"The king is back!"

At the beginning, he was exiled from the capital, and there was a clear decree that he was not allowed to leave the fief forever. Nearly three years later, he came back.

"Slave Cao Zhengchun pays homage to Your Highness." Cao Zhengchun stepped forward to pay homage.

Zheng Ming looked down at him and said with a smile, "Get up."

But behind him, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes, looking at Cao Zhengchun.

This is Cao Zhengchun!

He looked at Cao Zhengchun who was smiling all over his face, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

At this time, he already regarded Cao Zhengchun as a competitor.
