Chapter 39 The capital is summoning (1)

Golden Palace.

The civil and military officials bowed their heads and bowed, and were silent as if they were cold.

The emperor was just now thunderous and smashed two blue and white porcelain cups with "Borderlessness" in a row.

A few months ago, someone reported that 235 young, young, young, and children in Taozhuang were missing.

Taozhuang is a small village hidden in Taoshan Mountain. It has no contact with the outside world all year round. A woman who married a woman from Taozhuang from another country came to her house and found that the whole Taozhuang was empty, with no chicken or dog left, so she reported to Jingzhao Prefecture to look for someone.

The investigation of Jingzhao Prefecture is not important. Good guys, not only Taozhuang, but also Xingzhuang, and 173 people were missing. Lizhuang was missing. All of them were missing. They were not seen in life or death. The village that was once heard of each other has become a "ghost village".

Because these villages are hidden in Taohua Mountain, they rarely interact with the outside world, and the local area never cared about it and never reported it.

Jingzhao Government Office felt the situation was serious, so it reported to the heaven to listen overnight.

The emperor put the Jingzhao God's Captain's Office to investigate the case. The God's Captain's Office was in charge of Lu Yingming, patting his chest and sworn that the case would be solved.

However, several months have passed, the arresters who sent the Jingzhao Gods and the Detective Office to investigate the missing population have gone and never returned, including Ling An, the world's No. 1 Gods and Detective Officer.

A legend about Taohua Mountain has spread among the people.

According to legend, a war-torn king once died in a fierce battle in Taohua Mountain with his soldiers. His tribesmen buried their corpses among cliffs and called them the tomb of the king. There were countless treasures buried along with them.

For thousands of years, the King's Tomb has been guarded by three thousand ghost guards day and night.

Therefore, Taohua Mountain was originally a "ghost mountain". The people in Lizhuang Xingzhuang, Taozhuang, must have taken things they shouldn't have taken, offended the king, and were captured by the ghost guards.

The theory of ghosts and gods is naturally unreliable, but it is an indisputable fact that so many people disappeared without warning.

The whereabouts of the constables who were tracing this case were all unknown, which made the case feel a strange aura, and the emperor was very anxious about it.

Especially, there was a report coming early this morning. Zhu Gui, who had issued an edict to return to Beijing to preside over the birthday ceremony of the Empress Dowager, died, so Long Xin was extremely depressed.

In addition to strongly recommending their own people to preside over etiquette, the civil and military officials in the court were helpless in the case of missing population. Lu Zhangsi also lowered his head and said silently.

No wonder the dragon face was furious.

"Since the God Captain's Office is incompetent and the Chief Office is useless, don't raise my salary in vain, drag it out and behead you."

The emperor was furious and Lu Zhangsi was in danger of his head, which scared him to kneel down on the ground with a "splash".

Jingzhao Shenguan Division is directly under the jurisdiction of the Da Nei and directly obeys the orders of the emperor. This Lu Chief Secretary, Master Lu, has extremely profound martial arts, and his constables are all strong and capable. Therefore, Jingzhao Shenguan Division is also known as the No. 1 Division of the World Penalty Prison.

Lu Zhangsi was used to being arrogant and never took all the officials in the court seriously. Therefore, he offended all the officials in the dynasty, so that no one spoke for him when life and death were at stake.

"The emperor has an order, and he dragged it out and cut it down." The eunuch Gao shouted in a scream again.

Eunuch Gao quietly looked at the saint's color, knowing that the saint was just angry for a moment, and said that he didn't really want to cut off Lu Zhangsi's head. Unexpectedly, there was no one who pleaded with mercy, and under the throne, his head was so dark that it could not be lowered.

"Sir, I have something to say."

Finally someone stood up, and he was the Minister of Rites, Wang Yunyan.

Eunuch Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Master, the case of missing population is strange. I heard that in Taozhuang, the doors of each household are open, there is water on the stove, firewood on the stove, pickles on the table, and dry buns on the bowl, and there is no trace of people and chickens and dogs. I dare not use strange power to make a fuss, but I am afraid that there is another mystery in it and cannot be dealt with in ordinary prison cases."

Seeing that the emperor did not refute, Wang Shangshu bravely stepped forward and continued, "I think that even Ling An, the world's most powerful case, has never returned. It can be said that the difficulty is so deep that it cannot be broken overnight. If the emperor uses this to cut off Lu Zhangsi, he may be in danger of civil and military affairs. I hope the emperor will think twice."

Shangshu Wang was exactly the opposite of Lu Zhangsi. He was a good old man and had a very good reputation in the court. He winked. The ministers all agreed, "Please think twice."

"I also think that the Secretary of the King is right, so I hope the priest thinks twice." Eunuch Gao also said in the priest's ear.

The emperor took the opportunity to borrow a donkey from the slope and said, "Then he will be dismissed from his post and keep his head for the time being. Return to the spirit and the arresting department will continue to investigate the case for me. If it is not solved, I will not be so easy to talk to. Also, the most powerful arrester in the world, who will see people and bodies in life, find it out for me."

"Sir, I think it's inappropriate."

The emperor frowned. Is this annoying Shangshu Wang still finished?

Wang Shangshu said: "I think that if I am dismissed from an official position, it will be detrimental to Lu Zhangsi investigate the case, and all the constables under him will not accept it. Therefore, I dared to ask the emperor to give Lu Zhangsi dismissal and refused to be dismissed. He tried his best to investigate the case, and it is important to find the first God's arrest."

"What a dismissal from office and cannot be removed from office, which means nothing is wrong." The emperor pondered for a moment, without commenting, and got up and left.

"Retreat the court."

Eunuch Gao gave a high report, and the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief. While Lu Zhangsi's head was kept, the official position was temporarily preserved. Some people were dissatisfied, but the emperor had no choice but to speak.

The emperor did not return to the bedroom, but climbed to the highest star pavilion in the palace.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was extremely luxurious, and the eyes of the palace were all gorgeous. The emperor was quite disliked. Only the Lanxing Pavilion, which took decades to build in the previous dynasty, was very suitable for his wishes.

Standing on the Lanxing Pavilion, the imperial city under your feet is in your eyes.

"Call Zheng'er, I want to play chess."

"Yes, I'll go and spread King Ji to the palace."

The "Zheng" mentioned by the emperor is his favorite emperor's third son, Wang Yuanzheng. He has been knowledgeable and talented since childhood, and is good at literature and martial arts, especially military tactics and chess skills. What he is best at is being able to resolve major national affairs bit by bit in the process of playing chess.

This is also because the emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince. The three emperors are far more talented than the eldest son, but he is neither the legitimate nor the eldest son. He is afraid that all officials will not accept it. The emperor is very troubled.

A prince who is an adult according to the rules will leave the capital and enters the capital at will without an order.

But after the third prince returned from the border, the emperor did not let him leave. Instead, he ordered the construction of the Ji Prince's Mansion in Qingzhou Prefecture, the back garden of the capital, leaving behind a precious son and blocking the mouths of the ministers.

On that day, Yuan Zheng hurried to the Shengshang Palace. After a game of chess, he hurriedly left, and rode his horse away from the capital that day.

Except for Eunuch Gao, no one knew the real purpose of leaving Beijing under the order.
