Ji Zeyu nodded and said solemnly: "It is indeed the antiques and calligraphy and paintings of the Yan Dynasty. The things have now been shipped in, and I will wait for the saint to see them."
Li Qitian sat in the same place with a gloomy face, and after thinking about it, he asked the Master to check.
Both boxes are large camphor wood boxes with rivets embedded in the corners of iron sheets. When the lid is opened, square brocade boxes and long scrolls are staggered in the box. Li Qitian checked them one by one with a sullen face, and determined that it was indeed something belonging to the Yan Dynasty.
Back in the imperial study, Li Qitian frowned and touched his chin in thought.
The quiet in the study room could only hear the sound of light breathing and the subtle sound of dripping dripping from the table.
After a full quarter of an hour, Li Qitian looked at Li Guanwen: "Where are Yuchiyan and the old dog surnamed Gu now?"
"Go back to the sage, you previously ordered people to be put into the heavenly prison, and now it has been a year, and they should still be in the heavenly prison."
Li Qitian immediately ordered: "Go and call me both Yuchiyan and Gu Shixiong."
"Yes, my lord."
"Also." Li Qitian called a trusted spy again: "Let me take a good look at some of the subordinate ministers of the Yan Dynasty. If there is any change, you must report it in time."
"According to the purpose." The detective also bowed and stepped back.
When Li Guanwen and the spy were gone, Li Qicai asked Ji Zeyu, "What do you think is going on?"
Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes, and said: "Go back to the sage, the minister thought it was strange at this time."
What's the difference between answering and not answering
Li Qitian has always known that Ji Zeyu speaks less, and it is this cold temper. He never pretends to be diligent in front of him, so he will reuse him. Now that he heard it, Li Qitian has no doubts, but sighed: "I naturally know that it is strange. But I originally thought that the treasure must not be in the capital, but now it has happened. I suspect that there must be treasure hidden in the tomb of the Emperor of Northern Hebei under the Chongshan Mountain."
Ji Zeyu thought for a while and said, "I am not sure, but Tian Jizi is involved, and I have a Tartar conspiracy in my heart. After all, the situation between the two countries is tense now."
"Even if you want to start a war, you have to spend money." Li Qitian sighed and stood up, walking with his hands behind his back, "I know what you mean, and I doubt it. But now I see that it is possible to find the whereabouts of the treasure, so just We shouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Once we've found the treasure, we can spare no effort to deal with the barbarians of the Tartars."
Ji Zeyu just nodded.
Li Qitian said: "If the treasure is really in the capital, where will it be hidden... Now I suddenly feel that although this capital is known as the foot of the emperor, it is not completely solid."
Li Qitian's voice is very vicissitudes. Because the relationship between the court and the court is too complicated. The subordinate ministers of the Northern Ji Kingdom belonged to one faction, the honorable ones belonged to one faction, the Qing nobles belonged to one faction, and the subordinate ministers of the Yan Dynasty and the original family members in the court were all divided into a faction. If it is said that he is completely loyal to him, Li Qitian Couldn't find it for a while!
The situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, and it is not easy for Li Qitian to check and balance it. Now, when the treasury is empty due to internal and external troubles, he will of course pay special attention to the appearance of treasures.
Ji Zeyu said: "It's better for the Sage to search the city secretly first. As long as the city gate is guarded, if the treasure is really in the capital, I believe it will be impossible to escape the Sage's eyes."
"you are right."
Li Qitian immediately ordered people to come: "Tell those of Wucheng's soldiers and horses, say that spies from other countries have sneaked in in the capital, and let them investigate secretly, if they find any traces of suspicious people, or there are wandering monks. , or where there are treasures hidden in tunnels, you have to go back and forth immediately, and you can't miss a little clue!"
"Yes!"
The servant who got the order hurried down to pass the imperial edict.
At this time, Li Guanwen hurried in from outside.
"Holy!"
Li Guanwen has been by Li Qitian's side for a long time, acting prudently and relaxedly, rarely when he is so unstable.
Seeing Li Guanwen like this, Li Qitian knew something must have happened.
Li Guanwen knelt down and gave a big salute: "The Prince of Yan and Gu Shixiong who were detained in the Heavenly Prison are gone! In just one night, they both disappeared! The lock has not been passive, and everything else is in good condition. These two people, It's like it suddenly disappeared and never existed!"
There was a buzzing sound in Li Qitian's mind.
The sky is the reminder.
Immediately, antiques from the Yan Dynasty appeared at the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, the original emperor and old officials of the Yan Dynasty disappeared from the heavenly prison where they were imprisoned!
All these are connected together, which is obviously telling Li Qitian that there is a huge conspiracy. Someone is playing chess behind the scenes, playing against him!
No matter how angry Li Qitian was.
At this time in the palace, Pang Xiao and Qin Huaiyuan were discussing the current situation together with Xie Yue and Xu Wei in the study of the outer courtyard.
Qin Huaiyuan took a sip from the tea bowl and said slowly: "The reason for this, we will not know for a while. But it can be seen that there will be a big chaos in the city, and the temper of the sage will definitely make people feel uncomfortable. Every inch of land is searched and searched, and the names are no more than thieves and robbers. This makes it difficult to ensure that the people's finances will not suffer losses, and people in the capital are panicking, which is not a good sign. "
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue looked at each other, and then they treated Qin Huaiyuan with more respect. A capable minister who was dismissed from office for no reason, even if he was idle at home, he did not forget his duty to serve the common people. When something happened, he was not worried that he would be angered as a subordinate minister of the Yan Dynasty, but worried about the people in the capital. Will the people suffer.
Compared with his bearing and mind, he is much worse today, whether he is compared with Wang Ye or Qin Huaiyuan.
Pang Xiao said: "Even if we are worried about these things, we can't intervene. The Sage can't find the whereabouts of the treasure, so he must ask the King of Yan Jun and the others. If the King of Yan Jun can't give a satisfactory answer, the Sage will definitely suspect his father-in-law. Come on. I think it's important that we find a solution first."
Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The sage will definitely doubt me, but I think that the sage is not only suspicious of the ministers who surrendered to the Northern Hebei and the Yan Dynasty, but also those ministers of various factions in the court. , the ancestors and the old ministers, none of the sages can fully control. The sage will be the first to doubt me, but at the same time he will also doubt the ministers who have all the authority in his hands."
Having said this, Qin Huaiyuan smiled lightly, and said, "I think that the sage's temperament is that he will definitely put the uneasy people under his nose so that he can feel at ease. It’s like visiting the palace often as a guest.”
Hearing this, Pang Xiao nodded with a wry smile: "What my father-in-law said is true. If that's the case, it's all in vain for us to think about anything now."
