After the disaster relief was over, Pan Xiaoxian was promoted without any surprises.
Directly from Jinyiwei Qianhu, he became the deputy commander of Jinyiwei in Beizhen Fusi.
Pan Xiaoxian sat in the yard, looking at the new official uniform sent by Zhang Fengyi, touching it endlessly.
It's smoother than women's skin.
It’s not that the official uniform is smooth, it’s that the official position represented by the official uniform is smooth.
Pan Xiaoxian sighed: "I never thought that one day in my life I would become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard."
"The master is not well."
A maid ran in. In a panic, she tripped over the flowers and plants in the yard and fell forward.
Zhang Fengyi dodged, walked over, and helped the maid who was about to fall.
"Thank you, General Zhang."
The maid's face was full of gratitude and she hurriedly ran to Pan Xiaoxian: "Master, your Majesty fell into the water and is still unconscious."
"What!"
Pan Xiaoxian stood up directly, his face full of anxiety: "Quickly, help me put on my official uniform, I'm going to the palace soon."
The maid was frightened, her little hands started to tremble, and she couldn't put them on for a long time while helping Pan Xiaoxian get dressed.
Zhang Fengyi frowned and could only walk over and help Pan Xiaoxian put on his official uniform.
Normally, Pan Xiaoxian would definitely tease Zhang Fengyi.
Pan Xiaoxian was not in the mood now. After putting on his official uniform, he hurried out of the door.
The two of them rushed back to the palace together.
"aunt."
Pan Xiaoxian walked into the palace and saw the Queen Mother with a calm face: "How is your Majesty?"
The little emperor fell into the water, his life or death was uncertain, and he didn't know whether he would survive.
The Queen Mother showed extraordinary calmness, without any panic, and sat calmly in the hall.
It wasn't until Pan Xiaoxian came over that the calm expression on the Queen Mother's face finally changed.
The Queen Mother bit her lip and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Liu Rushi had been paying attention to the Queen Mother's expression, and when she saw something was wrong with her expression, she immediately said: "Everyone, go out, leaving only a few personal eunuchs."
Most of the palace maids and eunuchs followed Liu Rushi's instructions and hurried out, feeling full of gratitude to Liu Rushi.
The Queen Mother cannot be seen as weak. The greater the crisis, the more calm she must stabilize the situation.
There are three princes outside who are watching eagerly.
The Queen Mother could not stand still, and it was very likely to cause a mutiny. The three princes rushed in directly with their troops.
The Queen Mother knew she couldn't panic and kept reminding herself to calm down. After meeting her only relative, Pan Xiaoxian, she couldn't help but feel the grief in her heart.
Pan Xiaoxian hurriedly walked over and held the Queen Mother's hand: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm here and won't let anyone hurt Auntie and Your Majesty even a hair."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and made arrangements: "General Zhang led a guard and immediately stationed himself near the arsenal. No one is allowed to approach the arsenal."
There are two groups of soldiers and horses in the capital. One group is the Forbidden Army guarding the walls of the capital, and the other group is the Four Guards Battalion guarding the Forbidden City.
The four guard camps were established according to the number of soldiers and horses in the guard station. One guard camp had 5,600 soldiers and horses, and the four guard camps totaled more than 20,000 people.
In order to provide disaster relief, the Queen Mother directly dismissed the eunuch who used to be in charge of the Four Guards Camp and replaced him with Zhang Fengyi.
In the Queen Mother's heart, Zhang Fengyi would sooner or later be Pan Xiaoxian's, that is, her future niece-in-law.
Considered a member of the family.
Only by keeping the soldiers and horses of the Fourth Guard Camp in the hands of her own family can the Queen Mother truly feel at ease and sleep soundly at night.
Zhang Fengyi received the order and immediately led his troops to the arsenal, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching to prevent a mutiny.
The most important thing for anyone who wants to rebel is to have control of the arsenal.
The arsenal contains not only heavy armor, but also bows and crossbows. As long as you put on heavy armor, the rest of the soldiers and horses are just waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing Zhang Fengyi leave quickly, the Queen Mother felt relieved: "Thankfully, I found my nephew. I have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Forbidden City in my hands. Those who use them can rest assured, otherwise I don't know what I would do today. "
As soon as Zhang Fengyi left, Zhang Xifeng walked into the palace wearing armor and riding a spear in his hand.
Sisters Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Xifeng have practiced archery and horse riding with their father since they were young. They are good at swordsmanship and even better at spearmanship.
Zhang Xifeng clasped her fists and said, "To report to the Queen Mother, the general has arranged for soldiers and horses from the Fourth Guard Battalion to guard the entrances of the Forbidden City. No one is allowed to enter or exit."
Until this time, the Queen Mother could finally rest assured that her cold jade hands gradually became warmer.
The Queen Mother turned to look at him, Pan Xiaoxian, with an unprecedented fierceness on her face: "Investigate thoroughly. We must find out who wants to kill the emperor this time."
Pan Xiaoxian also felt that things were not simple. Whenever the little emperor went out, he would be accompanied by a bunch of eunuchs and maids, and it was impossible to fall into the water easily.
However, Pan Xiaoxian still doesn’t know the specific ins and outs.
Pan Xiaoxian looked at Liu Rushi next to him: "What happened?"
Liu Rushi explained.
The little emperor got into the mood today and took a few eunuchs to go boating together. They didn't leave the Forbidden City and just rowed on the small lake in the palace.
As a result, no one expected that the little emperor suddenly fell into the water.
When the little emperor was rescued, he was unconscious and had not woken up for most of the day.
Pan Xiaoxian asked: "Where are those eunuchs? I will go to interrogate them right away."
The Queen Mother held Pan Xiaoxian's jade hand and subconsciously used a lot of strength: "There is no way to interrogate him. All the eunuchs drowned."
Drowned? !
Pan Xiaoxian was shocked: "Killing people in the palace, killing several eunuchs at once, this time there is no proof."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes, the person behind it just wants to die without proof."
Pan Xiaoxian frowned and said, "I'll go to the small lake to take a look at the situation. As long as someone has done something, there will definitely be some clues left behind."
In order to prevent anyone from harming Pan Xiaoxian, the Queen Mother directly made arrangements: "Zhang Xifeng will follow you."
Pan Xiaoxian shook his head: "Auntie's safety is more important. I can beat Zhang Fengyi now, so I still have no problem protecting myself."
The Queen Mother refused: "Fortunately among misfortunes, the troops and horses in the palace are in the hands of her own people. The situation in the Forbidden City is still unpredictable. No one knows whether the eunuchs and maids left by the late emperor are any of the three princes." .”
Pan Xiaoxian sighed and had no choice but to leave with Zhang Xifeng: "Send more people to guard outside my aunt's hall. The more trouble happens, the less panic we can have."
Zhang Xifeng nodded without saying a word, having already made arrangements.
Pan Xiaoxian knew that sisters Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Xifeng were careful and would make appropriate arrangements, so he stopped rambling.
Next, the most important thing to do is to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.
Pan Xiaoxian said with a cold face: "It seems that I am really going to break up with a prince this time."
