Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 52

Views:

After Lu Yan left, Zhou Shuan pondered for a long time. Who would have thought that the golden house of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo was also hidden, and it was the third girl of the Shen family whose whereabouts were a mystery.

At present, there are so many people in the capital looking for the third girl of the Shen family, and there are not many people in Chang'an who can protect her.

He hadn't been able to confirm that there was anything tricky between the two, but when he mentioned the third girl of the Shen family, the unabashed possessiveness in the eyes of the eldest son of the Lu family proved his inference.

After a while, he chuckled lightly.

Although Jingzhao Mansion is not a third division, it is in charge of the public security and government affairs of the twenty-two counties in Chang'an. Although Shaoyin's rank is only from the fourth rank, his power is not small.

Since Lu Yan was transferred to the Jingzhao Mansion, many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an thought of offering bribes to him in order to make some profits from the yamen.

That's all for the officials next to him. How could the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, the son of the eldest princess, care about that kind of money? So those people, invariably stared at his backyard.

There are a lot of clean men in this world, but there are obviously more who can't resist the temptation.

The most famous one, the youngest son of the Sun family in the capital committed an accident, and the file fell into the hands of Lu Yan. In order to save the life of his youngest son, the master of the Sun family made a big circle to invite Lu Yan to the Persian church. In it, countless beauties were presented.

In order to ensure that there is always a Lu Yan who can be photographed, there is also a Taoist nun among the beauties.

But the result

Not only the youngest son of the Sun family was sentenced to exile, but even the Nabosch church was closed.

This matter, many people in the court know that Lu Yan is not close to beauty, and the reputation of unselfishness is also obtained that time.

He heard that Mr. Lu had raised a confidante in Pingkangfang a while ago, and he thought it was strange that such a arrogant person would go to Pingkangfang to seek pleasure

But today it is clear.

The co-author of Pingkangfang's top card is a shield, and he has to hide at the expense of some reputation, it is another.

As for Shen Yu...

It turns out that the upright Lord Lu also has a selfish side.

Lu Yan left the Zhou Mansion, and the carriage was heading towards Chengyuan when someone suddenly stopped the sedan chair.

Yang Zong stepped forward to negotiate. After a while, he turned back and lifted the curtain of the carriage. "Master, the person who stopped the carriage was from the Duke's Mansion. He said that the East Palace sent a painting to the Duke's Mansion."

Lu Yan frowned, "What painting?"

"Wang Yunzhi's masterpiece." The person who came also said, "His Royal Highness said that he owes you a favor."

After a long silence, Lu Yan nodded and said, "Return to the Duke's Mansion."

Recently, the eyes of the entire imperial court have been focused on the East Palace.

The Eastern Palace was withdrawn, and the prince "invited" all the previous medical officers back to the Tai Hospital, leaving only one Bai Daonian. In just a few days, the coughing sound of the Eastern Palace that night was heard. ease.

This means even more, it is thought-provoking.

Lu Yan nodded, turned the wrench on his hand, and said in a low voice, "You go to inform her later, and say that I have a lot of work tonight, so I won't go back."

Yang Zong: "My subordinates understand."

Back at Suning Hall, Lu Yan looked at the painting in his hand, and thoughtfully, he pointed at the table with his index finger, and said, "Call Fu Qi here."

Yang Zong bowed and said, "Yes."

An hour later, Fu Qi pushed open the door of the study and whispered, "Master Shizi."

"What's going on in the East Palace?"

Fu Qidao: "The prince's expectations are good. After the sage appeased the East Palace, His Royal Highness re-investigated the case of the Chengxi Canal, saying that he was looking for the first draft of the Chengxi Canal construction plan, and also visited the Censor's Desk during the period."

Lu Yan raised the corner of his lower lip, sure enough.

The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Censor's Terrace, these places are all the prince's territory. Once the prince regains power, the first person to save will be his right-hand man, the Marquis of Yunyang, Shen Wenqi.

He will not let go of the meat of the Ministry of Industry.

However, it is said that although Marquis Yunyang is somewhat pedantic and rigid, he has to admit that he is a rare practical faction in the official circle.

Since the Marquis of Yunyang was promoted to Minister of Industry three years ago, the Jin Dynasty has far surpassed other countries in its ability to regulate hydraulic power, control floods, and drain land.

Every early summer, the water level of the Yellow River will be low, and it will rain heavily in July and August. The dikes of the Yellow River cannot irrigate crops at the same time as suppressing floods.

Looking back at the past years, I don't know how many floods have occurred, but in the past few years when the Marquis of Yunyang was in office, the floods did not happen.

The sage has praised Yunyang Hou's drawing more than once, and these credits are all recorded in the name of the prince.

It is said that a senior official like the Marquis of Yunyang should not have such a big accident for a project that has his approval...

Thinking about it carefully, the possibility of a problem with the drawing is very great.

Otherwise, the Crown Prince would not kneel at the entrance of the Tingzheng Palace to cry out for the Marquis of Yunyang. Who wouldn't understand the truth of keeping oneself safe

It was only the collapse of the Chengxi Canal that hindered the transportation of water, and the battles ahead were also affected. When the sage was furious, there was really no room for manoeuvre.

The saint's anger not only refuted Donggong's face, but also directly ordered the prince's feet to be banned.

During the two months that the prince was confined, there were many times that the Taiyuan Hospital gathered in the East Palace late at night.

The people in the court were panicked. Once the prince fell, whoever helped Yunyang to stand out at this time will surely be remembered by the future prince.

The power of the third prince and the sixth prince rose rapidly.

And these are precisely the important reasons why the Marquis of Yunyang has no way to ask for help. It is not unwillingness, but no one dares. In just a few short months, the East Palace has the momentum of falling down and dispersing.

Whether the sentence can be commuted or the case reversed for Marquis Yunyang is now a turnaround for the East Palace.

After a while, Fu Qi wanted to say something but stopped: "Master Shi, not only that, the crown prince is also looking for Miss Shen's whereabouts everywhere."

Lu Yan's face sank, "When the time is right, lead them to Yangzhou."

"My subordinate understands."

"Anything else?" Lu Yan asked.

Fu Qi said: "The East Palace seems to be eyeing Li Di, the current minister of labor."

If the Marquis of Yunyang was able to return to the court, the prince would definitely put the "knife" on Li Di's neck.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan thought of Shen Yan.

What was the reason that made Miss Shen dare not confront the Bo court with the Li family, and even thought of poisoning tricks

The reason for this must be the Marquis of Yunyang.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, picked up the pen, dipped in the ink, and slowly wrote down a few people, the Marquis of Xuanping, Shen Zhen's second uncle and third uncle, the Minister of War Sun Zhi, the imperial censor Gong Baocheng, and Lu, who was in charge of the imperial examination. Thinking... These are the few families that are closely related to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.

Who is it

Lu Yan turned the pen, circled Ruth's name, and said to Yang Zong, "Tell me why Ruth suddenly resigned."

How good the momentum of the East Palace is, the more uneasy Li Di is.

As soon as he was on duty, he returned to the Li residence and went straight to Shen Jiao.

As soon as Shen Jiao saw him, she couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation, how much she loved at the beginning, and how disgusting it is now in retrospect.

Li Di walked to the table, picked up the cup Shen Yu had used, took a sip of water along the mark left by her mouth fat, and said solemnly, "姌姧."

Shen Hao clenched her fists and smiled sarcastically, "I don't know what is going on tonight, Master Li?"

Li Di walked over, sat beside her, and hugged her shoulders, "Huh, do you know where Shen Zhen and Shen Hong are?"

"Li Di, don't touch me with your dirty hands." Shen Hao patted his hand away and said with a smile, "Why, did you suddenly find that the chips in your hand are not enough to keep you safe?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Di raised his hand and pinched her chin, "You and I have been in love for four years, and I have touched you less, I have affection for you, and the things I do are just because of different positions. , do you understand?"

Shen Yan looked into his eyes and said, "The East Palace is in power again, Master Li is afraid, is it that the sixth prince can't protect you anymore?" At first, Shen Yan always thought that Li Di was from the third prince, but who knew that the Mu family would fall Well, he's fine, that's obviously her thinking wrong.

Li Di's hand gradually tightened, even crushing the bones of Shen Yan's wrist.

Shen Yan continued: "Let me guess, did you play tricks on Aye's engineering drawings?"

Li Di's eyes suddenly darkened, "Shen Yan, don't provoke me with these words, after all, you and I are on the same boat, if something happens to me, father-in-law and Ruth's selfishness, do you think I will take care of them? Is he hiding it?"

Li Di hugged Shen Yan's waist and whispered: "A few days ago, did you go out to buy too much? Shen Zhen and Shen Hong, are you still in Chang'an, have you met them?"

Shen Yan did not change her face and said, "Yes, I have seen them before. They had a good time in Jingzhou. Master Li can send someone to look for them."

Li Di got up, grabbed Qingli's hair, pulled it up, and said solemnly, "Look, you treat me like this, and I can't bear to attack you."

Shen Yan's fingertips trembled slightly.

Li Di said: "The prince will soon fight for the visitation rights of the Dali Temple and Prison for the father-in-law. Shen Yan, as long as the father-in-law doesn't say anything, I will not marry He Wanru, nor will I do anything to your maid, I want you to go to the Dali Temple. See father-in-law."

Li Diguan is such a person who pushes his nose on his face, if you really dare to show his timid side.

The nightmare will never end.

Shen Yan got up and walked towards him, "What does it have to do with me whether you marry He Wanru? Li Di, if you dare to hurt my maid, I will let the He family's daughter die in front of your mother's eyes."

"I thought that a grass like you should know which way to go when the wind blows. Right now, if you threaten me, it's better to beg me, and I might as well go to His Royal Highness to beg you for mercy. "

Li Di was so angry that he took out a dagger and placed it on Qingli's neck, saying, "Come on, tell me, where did your master go two days ago? Did you go to see Shen Zhen?"

Qingli's legs trembled with fright, and she said quietly, "I don't know, this slave is just going with my wife to buy goods."

At this time, Li Di naturally wouldn't believe what Qingli said, he was a knife to Qingli's arm.

Qingli's big tears fell, and she whispered, "This servant really doesn't know."

Shen Yan's pair of beautiful eyes stabbed at him firmly.

Li Di did not intend to stop.

"Stop." Shen Yan looked at him and said, "Okay, let me tell you, that day I went to Jingzhao Mansion and told Lord Lu about you and He Wanru, because I wanted to be with you and leave..."

Li Di narrowed his eyes, "Master Lu? The prince of the Duke's Mansion?"

Shen Hao dragged Qingli, "Yes, if Master Li doesn't believe it, you can ask."
