"With a son like this, why should the Qin family not perish?"
Emperor Jing didn't continue to review the memorial. After writing a few edicts, he went to the queen's bedroom to rest. Changde stood at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, playing with a token in his hand. Thinking of the contents of those edicts, the old man had a rare look There was a hint of sarcasm.
The great victory in the battle with the Qi State, but the capture of the city was due to the failure of the late emperor and even the Taizu Emperor. Now, His Majesty's prestige among the officials has reached its peak. The various edicts issued recently, the opposition in the court It has almost disappeared.
"Let's make trouble, let's make trouble, there are many undercurrents in a pool of stagnant water, but it's okay to make trouble..." After a while, he put away the wooden sign in his hand, muttered, and his figure quickly disappeared in the dark deep palace. middle.
…
…
When he woke up, Li Yi could hardly feel the pain in his ankle.
There is also a burst of zhenqi poured into his body by his second uncle. Although it is almost useless in a battle against a master, his body is indeed much better than before. The reason for being able to jump around so fast is not only due to Ruyi's zhenqi massage, but also It is related to his gradually improving self-healing ability.
Today, I will go to the palace to give lectures as usual, and now the time for the princes and princesses to attend mathematics classes is arranged by him, so naturally there is no need to get up so early.
When going out, Ruyi helped him tidy up his collar, and told him: "My husband, you should be more careful these two days, don't run or run, although you didn't hurt your muscles, but you need two days of training to get back to normal. .”
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Li Yi secretly kissed her on the face and said, "Got it."
Ruyi was thin-skinned and blushed slightly, but she didn't dodge.
Behind Li Yi came the little maid's "Ah", who was about to come in, but ran out with her face covered.
Miss Liu Er was already waiting for him in the carriage outside. Li Yi walked out, and when he was about to get into the carriage, several figures walked over from not far away.
Seeing a few people coming from the front, Li Yi's expression was stunned for a moment, and then a gleam of joy appeared, and he said, "Why are you here?"
Liu Yishou, who was wearing a government uniform, also had a look of surprise on his face. He walked over and said a little at a loss, "My lord, it's really you!"
"When did you come to Kyoto?" Li Yi looked at him and asked with a smile.
When he was in Qing'an Mansion, it was because of Liu's hand that he could be a lazy county captain with peace of mind. This guy was born to be a fast catcher, and even Li Yi had to be convinced of his ability.
"It's only been two days since I arrived." Liu Yishou said with a smile: "Master Liu was transferred to the capital and brought his subordinates here. I wanted to visit you, but I didn't expect to see you so soon."
"Magistrate Liu has been transferred to the capital?" Li Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. Although Qing'an Mansion is also an important town in Jingguo, it is still lower than Jingdu after all. The transfer from Qing'an Mansion to Jingguo's power center is usually Promotion, even Liu County Magistrate, who will be transferred to Kyoto one day
This time, without waiting for Liu Yishou to reply, a middle-aged man dressed in a scarlet official came forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has seen Mrs. Li."
He didn't introduce the official position, because it was not the first time the two met. When Li Yi went to deal with the matter of the mad monk, he met him in the county government office. At that time, this person was standing next to the county magistrate, who seemed to be the county magistrate.
"I wonder what Lieutenant Sun is here for?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "The Duke of Qin's mansion sent someone to the Yamen to report the case this morning. They said that the young Duke Qin was stabbed and injured yesterday, and the officials were ordered to come here to investigate."
The county lieutenant Chen had a smile on his face, but he was secretly bitter in his heart.
It's not good to offend either side for the affairs of Qin Xiang's mansion and the Viscount's mansion to be handled by him as a county lieutenant, but obviously, it is much wiser to offend Li Xianzi than to offend Qin Xiang.
Li Yi thought to himself that Crazy Qin's movements were really fast. An official came to the door early in the morning, so he didn't even want to wait for half a day.
The king of Shu has no power to detain people, but the county government in Kyoto does.
Moreover, the county lieutenant has a very good attitude and is very friendly. He looks like he is doing business, but he always maintains etiquette. Those who can get into this position are really not ordinary people.
Miss Liu Er jumped out of the carriage when she heard the words, and stood beside Li Yi.
Liu Yishou opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
This was his first time handling a case, but he did not expect to find Li Xianwei—Grand Li.
Undoubtedly, without my lord, Liu Yishou would not be where he is today. However, the person in charge today is the county lieutenant, and he can't get in the way at all, so he is in a dilemma at this time.
Sun Xianwei smiled and said: "Li Xianzi and that girl, just need to go to the county office with the official, right and wrong, you have your own judgment, and the official also acts according to the law, I hope Li Xianzi will not Difficult."
Lieutenant Sun's duty is to bring people back. As for what will happen afterwards, that will be a headache for County Magistrate Liu. People from the Duke of Qin's mansion are waiting at the county government office. Enough for the sudden airborne capital to make Mr. Liu drink several pots.
Li Yi smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I have to go into the palace now, I'm afraid I can't go back with Lieutenant Sun. You go back first, after I come out of the palace, I will go directly to the county government."
There is a prime minister in the Qin family. If he enters the yamen, he can do whatever they want. He is not that stupid. What's more, the thing he is waiting for has not come yet. Although he doesn't know if it will come, but whether it will come In the future, he has different preparations, but none of them is to go to the capital county government office with this county lieutenant Sun.
Lieutenant Sun was in a bit of trouble, because he didn't know what Li Xianzi was doing in the palace, but he couldn't afford to delay anything in the palace, but if he didn't bring him back, how could he explain to the people in Qin's mansion
"Li Xianzi, this..." When Lieutenant Sun was hesitating, a sound of horseshoes from ahead interrupted the battle between heaven and man in his mind. A gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the Viscount's mansion, and there was still Several people were on horseback.
The leader was a wrinkled old man, and the people behind him were also wearing brocade robes. They looked middle-aged and had white and beardless faces. County Captain Sun could tell at a glance that they should be the servants of the palace.
Li Yi also saw it, saw what he was waiting for, or a person.
The leading old man got off his horse, walked up to Li Yi, and said with a blank expression: "According to His Majesty's order, take Li Xianzi into the palace."
Lieutenant Sun's eyelids twitched, following His Majesty's order
His Majesty sent a servant to personally pick him up into the palace. It seems that today's affairs are not destined to go so smoothly.
The person who came was an old acquaintance, Li Yi walked over, looked at Chang De and said, "Director Chang, what does Your Majesty want from me?"
Lieutenant Sun's eyelids twitched again, what does Your Majesty want from you? Is this what you should be asking
He began to be a little confused about the position of Li Xianzi in His Majesty's heart. He couldn't afford to offend the Qin family, so could he offend His Majesty
Changde still had no expression on his face, and said, "You will know when you go."
After finishing speaking, he took out a sign from his arms and threw it to Li Yi, saying, "Put this away and get in the car."
Li Yi looked at the sign in his hand, and asked with some doubts: "What is this?"
In Kyoto, there are many rules and signs. The Viscount has a sign that represents his status, and he has a sign to enter the palace. He has to rely on the sign for everything. It seems that it is very popular to give signs, the emperor and the monk. The problem is that he doesn't know these things at all. What do the signs do.
If Li Yi didn't recognize the sign in his hand, it didn't mean that Lieutenant Sun didn't know it.
In fact, even if the county magistrate doesn't know him, it's impossible for him not to know him.
Seeing this sign, he felt that his legs were weak and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Is the Qin family crazy? They actually asked him to arrest Li Xianzi? With this sign, no one but His Majesty personally ordered it. Power to catch him
This is the Secret Service Commander's card. The Secret Service is a special department directly under His Majesty. It is only responsible to His Majesty. They have always been the only ones responsible for arresting people. How can it be someone else's turn to arrest them
It's okay to be targeted by the censor, at most it's just a verbal war, it's nothing, if you are targeted by the Secret Service, you will lose your way of life.
Thinking of these things, Lieutenant Sun only felt that his legs became weaker, and he finally managed to stabilize himself. He had already scolded the steward of the Qin family bloody in his heart.
Chang De said lightly: "Secret spy Commander, after today, you only need to obey His Majesty's orders, other than that, don't care about other things."
When Li Yi heard this, his eyes lit up, and suddenly he felt that the simple and unpretentious sign in his hand became dazzling.
Just obeying the old emperor's orders, doesn't that mean that with this brand, you can do whatever you want in Kyoto
Good stuff, good stuff...
"Let's go." Seeing Li Yi still standing where he was, Chang De urged.
Li Yi nodded, and was about to get into the more gorgeous carriage when he suddenly thought of something, turned back, looked at Lieutenant Sun, and asked, "Lieutenant Sun, what did you want to say just now?" ?”
"I want to say..." Lieutenant Sun had a thin layer of hair on his forehead, but he didn't even dare to wipe it off. He straightened his face and said, "I want to say that the last time Mr. Li asked us to investigate Those monks have been found out, and they are undoubtedly monks from the Qi State. Although they have escaped from the capital, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has issued an arrest warrant. Someone to notify!"
"Then I will trouble Lieutenant Sun." Li Yi gave him a meaningful smile, and got into the carriage from the palace with Miss Liu Er.
Watching the carriage go away, several servants on horseback also disappeared before his eyes, Lieutenant Sun heaved a long sigh of relief, and finally let go of his heart.
"Go back!" He said a little angrily, damn the steward of the Qin family, why didn't he say that Li Xianzi is actually a member of the secret spy department, didn't he send himself to die!
A policeman asked suspiciously: "My lord, didn't you come to catch the assassin? Where is the assassin?"
It's okay not to say, but as soon as he mentioned this County Lieutenant Sun became angry, he turned around and kicked his ass fiercely, "Catch the assassin, catch your mother!"
The catcher didn't dare to dodge, and said aggrievedly: "My lord, my old mother died the year before last..."
"How dare you talk back!"
"—"
Looking at the scene in front of him, a smile appeared on Liu Yishou's face, no matter where he was, the county lieutenant, or the former county lieutenant.
…
…
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Li Yi turned his head and said to Miss Liu Er: "I don't know when I will be able to come out yet, you can go around the street first, just wait for me here in two hours."
Chang De heard the words and reminded, "Your Majesty gave you the token to enter the palace, and you can bring two people in together."
"Ah?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old eunuch: "You didn't say it earlier!"
Looking back at Miss Liu Er, "Then let's enter the palace together, and I will show you what the palace looks like."
Chang De said blankly: "She can only go in with you, she can't just walk around, and neither can you."
"You talk too much!"
Li Yi thought to himself that the old eunuch didn't talk that much usually, so why didn't he stop talking today
Second Miss Liu still kept her sword close to her body, but even if the general had to take off her armor when entering the palace, she could only leave the sword at the gate of the palace.
Before Li Yi went to the Bowen Hall, he had to go to see the old emperor. Chang De led the way, and he and Miss Liu Er walked behind.
"It's said that the palace occupies half of the world's masters. In the palace, if you meet an old eunuch, it may be a peerless master. Don't run around after a while." Li Yi told Miss Liu Er.
It was very rare for Liu Ruyi not to refute Li Yi this time. She had never been to the palace before, and never thought that she would have the opportunity to come here. She looked at the palace walls on both sides and the palace in the distance with great interest.
"For example, this Manager Chang, although he may not know the Sunflower Book, he must be very good at martial arts, but he is a bit old. If he is willing, you can ask him to learn a few tricks later, but remember to be merciful, after all, the old man is physically weak. False... "
Li Yi knew that Miss Liu Er was a fighting maniac in her bones, but in reality, it was rare to find someone who was equal to her - she was too good, and Ruyi was too strong, neither of which was a suitable opponent.
There must be a lot of masters in the palace, which should allow her to have a good time.
"Don't fight." Miss Liu Er said very simply, without even looking at the old man leading the way.
"Why?" Li Yi was a little puzzled. He had seen Changde's skill, so it shouldn't be too bad. Could it be that Miss Liu Er didn't want to bully the old man
"I can't beat it." Second Miss Liu's answer was also very straightforward.
Li Yi was really a little surprised this time. He could make the proud second Miss Liu admit that she was not as good as her. This old eunuch seemed to be much more powerful than he imagined.
He raised his head and glanced at Chang De, no wonder he is the head servant, always by the old emperor's side, the old man's glory has not diminished...
Your body is weak
Hearing Li Yi's words, the old man walking in front curled his lips. In his opinion, the martial arts of Li Xianzi are not worth mentioning, but the little girl next to him is really amazingly talented. At a young age, There is such a realm, he has seen too many people who are talented in martial arts in his life, but only Her Highness the Princess can compare with her.
In Li Yi's view, Miss Liu Er is already a master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, master, in Li Yi’s opinion. He did not expect that this inconspicuous old eunuch was even more powerful. correct.
The fire of gossip in his heart began to blaze. Just as he was about to ask Mr. Chang if he knew "Sunflower Treasure", he suddenly felt something and looked up at a palace in front of him.
Looking at it at a glance, I saw dozens of figures slowly coming out of that palace which was more than twice the size of the surrounding palaces.
