Bao Ci Hall.
"Mother, Yang Yaban is back."
Upon hearing that Yang Shouzhong was back, Liu E immediately put down the zhazi in his hand.
The fact that the assassination failed has always been a sticking point in her throat.
No one can be seen in life, no body in death!
While this isn't the worst-case scenario, the unknown isn't a good thing either.
"Send him in."
After a while, Mrs. Lin led Yang Shouzhong into the inner hall. On the imperial platform, Liu E saw that Yang Shouzhong was not happy, and she felt as if she had been hit hard.
"Empress."
With a plop, Yang Shouzhong fell to his knees and said in a plaintive tone.
"I have failed in my duty and failed to find out the specific whereabouts of the missing person."
"Please punish me!"
Hearing this answer, even though Liu E had been prepared for it, she was still very disappointed when the moment came.
This time, she had enough manpower for Yang Shouzhong.
If no one can be found in this way, the result will probably be disastrous.
At this point, Liu E had no way to save her life. She could only secretly hope that those people would be dead.
No matter what happens, you can't reveal your identity.
If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible.
After all, it had been so long since the last failed assassination attempt. If those dead soldiers fell into the hands of others, there would be no chance that there would be no movement at all.
In addition, the most important point is that Cai Qi himself did not take any action.
According to the information found, Cai Qi was indeed injured and was raised in the official residence for a long time.
If the identity of the deceased soldier was really exposed, it would be impossible for Cai Qi not to submit a memorial.
"That's all."
After a while, Liu E waved her hand.
"Get up. You have worked hard during this period. Go back and have a good rest."
"Thank you for your grace!"
Yang Shouzhong kowtowed hard, with such force that the floor made a dull sound.
In fact, before returning to Beijing, he was already prepared to be punished.
As the head of a secret agency, he bears unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this operation.
If Cai Qi's protective power had not been misjudged, and if he could have sent several more groups of people, the assassination would never have failed.
Although sending more people will make things worse, no matter how big the trouble is, it is still better than the fate of the dead soldiers being unknown.
Yang Shouzhong has done too much dirty work and has seen too many dirty methods. No matter how firm the will of a dead soldier is, he is still made of flesh and blood.
No human being can withstand cruel punishment.
Even if there are two insurances between the deceased and the palace, the insurance method is not foolproof.
Sometimes evidence doesn't matter, just suspicion is enough.
After Yang Shouzhong left, Liu E found that no matter how hard she looked at the zhazi in her hand, she couldn't see it.
lay down.
Pick it up.
After repeating it several times, Liu E sighed.
"Mom, come with me to the back garden for a walk."
Xiao Niang is Lin's nickname. When she heard the Empress Dowager calling her nickname, Lin was stunned for a while. She couldn't remember the last time the Empress Dowager called her by her nickname.
Fortunately, the experience of serving for many years was still there, so Lin replied almost subconsciously.
"yes."
The back garden is full of pavilions, pavilions, and countless exotic flowers and stones. It is a place specially designed for the emperor and his concubines to play, rest, and have banquets.
The location is approximately northwest of the palace city. The gate of the back garden is on the northwest side of Chongzheng Hall and not far from Baoci Hall.
】
It takes about ten minutes to walk to the back garden gate.
During this trip, Liu E did not make any fanfare, nor did she take public transportation such as carriages. Instead, she went on foot with a small number of palace people.
The missing soldier made her quite upset.
As they walked, Liu E and his party came to an open space in the back garden. Looking at the golden ears of rice in front of them, Liu E had a look of reminiscence on her face.
This land was cultivated by Song Zhenzong and Liu E personally in the sixth year of Dazhong Xiangfu. (Of course, it’s just a pretense, just like a leader laying the foundation, shoveling in a few shovels of soil)
That year happened to be the second year after she was crowned queen.
At that time, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty vigorously promoted Champa rice. In addition to its drought resistance, it also meant to build momentum for Liu E.
In fact, as early as Taizu's reign, the Champa Kingdom sent envoys to pay tribute to rice seeds.
According to consistent naming principles, this new rice species was named 'Champa Rice'.
Later, in the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Jianghuai and Zhejiang areas encountered drought, and Zhenzong suddenly thought of Champa rice.
As a result, Champa Rice was slowly promoted.
After two years of small-scale trial planting, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty found that the effect was good, and Liu E happened to ascend to the position of queen.
Therefore, Song Zhenzong began to vigorously promote Champa rice.
Liu E's name was also widely spread due to the promotion of Champa rice.
This name is naturally a virtuous name.
After standing silently for a long time, Liu E recovered her mind and turned around to ask.
"Don't I remember that this land is abandoned?"
"Why did you plant it again?"
Liu E has not been to Houyuan for a long time since the late emperor ascended the throne, and her time was basically reserved for state affairs.
There are endless notes to read every day, and there are countless things to deal with every day.
In less than half a year, Liu E's white hair on both sides of her temples became noticeably thicker.
"It's what the officials ordered."
Mrs. Lin replied in a low voice: "At the beginning of April, the officials issued a decree not to forget to plant Champa rice this year."
"When officials have free time, they will also go to the back garden to see this open space for themselves."
Liu E frowned and said, "Why have you never mentioned this?"
"This is also what the officials ordered."
Mrs. Lin said calmly: "The official said, don't let the eldest lady know about this matter, lest the eldest lady miss you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu E's eyes instantly turned red.
"This kid."
As Liu E spoke, she wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.
She originally thought that the officials and her were not of the same mind, and they were not from the same camp. But it turned out that Sixth Brother was so attentive to such trivial matters.
This sudden act of comfort undoubtedly touched the softest part of Liu E's heart.
Sixth Brother is still the filial Sixth Brother.
It's just that the two have different views on national politics.
At this time, Liu E had no intention to care about Lin's concealment. She was only filled with emotion in her heart.
A person in her fifties was crying because of such a trivial matter, which shows how agitated Liu E was at this time.
Seeing Liu E's red eyes, Mrs. Lin sighed quietly in her heart.
She saw the current state of the Queen Mother and the official family in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.
She is the wet nurse of the official family and has grown up watching the official family. In total, she spends far more time with the official family than she spends with her parents and children.
As for the Queen Mother, she is her benefactor. Without the Queen Mother, how could she have everything she has now?
Whether she is an official or the Queen Mother, they are one of the most important people in her life.
Therefore, she is the person who least likes to see the Queen Mother and the officials fighting.
Like before, how nice.
