"Chirp!!" The little fox, who had been staring up at him, was so frightened by this sight that his hair stood on end.
Su Ziji had no time to comfort it at this time and shouted directly: "Here comes someone!"
"Here you go!" Immediately some soldiers came out and responded in a deep voice.
"Who went out in the past half hour? Check."
"yes!"
Su Ziji watched this person go away, pondered, and sighed for a long time: "The foundation is still shallow."
When I arrived in the capital from Linhua County, I could say that I was empty-handed. Apart from the wild Taoists, I had no confidants at all.
Afterwards, he was granted the title of Marquis, Duke, or even King, and was allowed to build a palace.
To build a body is to establish one's own bodyguards, and to open a mansion is to build one's own official office. In ancient times, building a body and opening a mansion was a privilege reserved only for powerful ministers. In the future, only princes can do it.
If you are not a prince, it is a capital offense to open a palace.
This was of course a great honor, but at that time I couldn't find anyone I could trust.
In the name of "filial piety", recruiting old people from the Prince's Mansion is not only relatively trustworthy, but can also gain fame, and it also has the meaning of "pointing out" - inheriting the crown prince.
But even so, many people were still assigned.
"No wonder they all have children in their families. They are not just being married to someone else, but being an outsider. It's really hard to trust them."
"Chirp!!" The little fox he had accidentally pressed came out, and he realized that he had pressed it too hard. He rubbed its little head apologetically, and suddenly laid it flat on the table.
"It suddenly occurred to me that there is something else for you and your fox clan to do."
"Chirp??" The little fox was a little puzzled and a little wary.
"I won't let you do dangerous things. You are foxes. No one will be too wary of you. Just pay attention to the people in the government and report them to Mr. Lu one by one. If there is anything important, you can report it to me directly.
." Su Ziji's eyebrows relaxed and his smile was friendly.
"If there is danger in going to other houses, there is definitely no danger in my own house. Why, just do more things. It can be done with a little effort."
"Chirp!!" The little fox raised his paw and gestured.
"Don't worry, have I ever broken a promise since I started my career? You have done me a great service, and I will give you whatever I should have if I have the opportunity in the future."
"Okay, that's it. I have something else to do, so I'll go out first." Su Ziji stood up and went out.
"Chirp!!" The little fox originally wanted to stop him again, not for credit, but to say something else, but looking at Su Ziji's back as he walked out, he did not continue to yell, but sighed softly,
Falling lightly from the table.
Su Ziji didn't know this. After leaving the study, he went to the flower hall again.
As early as when he got up, he ordered a meal to be served in the flower hall and invited all the retainers in the palace.
So when he walked into the flower hall, a circle of people immediately stood up to congratulate him.
"My lord, this time the emperor has entrusted the affairs of the temple to you again, which means that there is no other suitable candidate except you. This is a happy event!"
"My lord, after this incident, the Holy Family has been revealed. The people who were originally waiting and watching may get closer, and even the power in the court will change. Congratulations, lord, for getting your wish!"
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Jian, Mr. Wen, things have just begun, sit down first, sit down first." Su Ziji smiled and accepted, waving his hands for everyone to sit down: "Eat first, talk after you finish, eat without saying a word
Well!"
After saying that, he ordered breakfast to be passed on. In a moment, the maid held boxes of breakfast and placed them on the dining table, including bird's nest chicken cakes, steamed buns, fried dumplings, etc.
Everyone was of different ages, but they had all experienced it, and they used it very dullly. They chatted with Su Ziji for a few times, and when they saw Su Ziji putting down chopsticks, they all stopped paying. Su Ziji wiped his mouth and gave orders.
: "After cleaning up, tea is served, everyone exits!"
After waiting for the tea, the irrelevant people exited, and Su Ziji took a sip: "Since the emperor continues to leave the matter of renovating the temple to Gu, he must do it well, not only well, but also beautifully.
, leaving everyone else speechless.”
"What the king said is absolutely true. In fact, gods and people are the same. They fear power but do not have virtue, or they fear power first and then have virtue." Wen Xunpeng arched his hand.
"Previously, the king's punishment was just a slap in the face. When King Qi was assassinated, the emperor was furious, and the suspected temples were slaughtered. However, his spine was broken, and he was scared to death, fearing that he would not be able to become a slave."
"If your Majesty is willing to accept their surrender, they will already burst into tears of gratitude. If you show them a few more favors, they may be able to drive them away and use them."
"What Mr. Wen said is that it seems that the emperor intends to let the king develop some wings." Jian Qu also said. He was originally a counselor, so he could naturally see clearly. He opened his eyebrows and even had fewer wrinkles.
"Your Majesty, these shrines have deep-rooted believers. If they can be recovered, the intelligence network in the capital city and the city that you told us will be established." Cen Rubai also said.
Everyone responded one after another, even more excitedly, obviously eager to show off their skills.
Su Ziji smiled and clucked his head. Previously, when he was suppressed, the palace looked dull. Now that the light is shining, everyone is vying to be the first.
This is not loyalty or disloyalty, this is human nature.
After sighing with emotion, he said: "Everyone has something to be responsible for. The attack on King Qi cannot be treated lightly. It must be taken seriously. The follow-up of the shrine must also be handled safely, Mr. Wen..."
Wen Xunpeng stood up hurriedly: "I'm here."
"You go ahead and handle this matter. The affairs of the temple must continue to be dealt with, and the affairs of King Qi must also be taken seriously. Do you understand what Gu means?"
Wen Xunpeng and King Qi had been closely related, and he understood what King Dai meant when he said this.
He immediately replied: "I understand that the assassination of King Qi has shocked the capital and the emperor. Thousands of eyes are watching. Even if we have some resentment against King Qi, we must understand the general situation."
"Anyone suspected of attacking the King of Qi will be attacked hard and killed. They will not be allowed to surrender, and no fish will slip through the net."
"As for other temples, if they don't do anything excessively illegal, they can be given a way out, provided they are wise and willing to be the king's slaves."
"If there is anyone who is stubborn and unyielding, he will be smashed to pieces and his bones will not be tolerated. He will firmly let our palace eat this piece."
"Good!" He said these words openly, and everyone present nodded. Even the wild Taoist priests thought to themselves: "The King of Qi cannot use such a talent. It is true that the destiny of the King is not in the King of Qi."
The Taoist priest then added: "I feel that if the prince is one month old and the emperor and empress really come in person, the situation will be different. Originally, the lord could not be too prominent, but now it seems that he can prepare a program for the reorganization of the temple."
That program was originally brought to Su Ziji's door specially by others in order to harm Su Ziji, but now the situation is completely different from that of that day, so this program can be used.
Su Ziji nodded, very satisfied with the analysis of the wild Taoist, and then thought of something. When Dai Wang's palace was besieged before, the crisis in Dai Wang's palace was true.
He could see that there was something wrong with the atmosphere above Dai Wang's Mansion, and Huidao could even see the fatal crisis.
If he hadn't used the talisman from the Hui Taoist Sect and used the method of substitution, today's Prince Dai's Palace might have gone the way of Prince Lu's Palace, or even worse.
The situation at that time was enough to show that the man sitting on the dragon throne had no kinship with him.
Of course he knew that he, the son of the former prince, was a fake and an imposter, but the emperor didn't know that.
From the various uses he made in the past, to the fact that he sent people to investigate later when he became suspicious, it can be seen that the emperor's holy love for him was far inferior to that of the former King of Lu.
So what was the reason that led to the emperor's rapid transformation?
The emperor quickly sent an imperial envoy to express his condolences. This matter was strange both inside and out.
After the wild Taoist said his thoughts, Su Ziji recovered his thoughts and nodded again: "Okay, let Mr. Lu be the central coordinator, Mr. Jian will be responsible for revising the program and visiting some necessary people, and Mr. Wen will directly
To deal with the matter of the shrine, Mr. Cen, you are good at martial arts, so you will follow the surrender of the shrine to form an intelligence network between the markets."
"In this way, the strength of our palace can definitely be improved." At this point, Su Ziji was suddenly startled, and a strange feeling came over his heart. He suppressed his heart and said some more plans, and waited until everyone had retreated.
, he suddenly stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery in front of him.
"Did I enter the palace and my blood and magic came into contact with magic?"
"What does the emperor think? What does he want to do?"
"Oh, it's ridiculous. The royal families and palaces of the past dynasties have strictly guarded against the magic of Nightmare Suppression and Gu. Whenever they are discovered, a prison will be set up and a river of blood will flow. Don't you want the emperor himself to do this victory-hating technique?"
Speaking softly, Su Ziji showed a hint of ridicule.
Royal Palace·A remote palace
It is next to the Cold Palace and is very secluded. It is said that a concubine was hanged here. It is said that crying sounds are often heard at night, and the night watchers avoid it. Even the lower-level palace people will not come easily.
At this time, the door was open, and all we could see were weeds growing in the cracks of the blue bricks, and the corridors were silent. That was fine. Finally, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a little more yang. However, the winter wind blew through the hall, and the air-conditioning was dense.
Heart palpitating.
"Handle with care!" A magic weapon half a person's height was being carefully moved from somewhere else and placed in the middle.
Unlike the deserted place outside, this place is heavily guarded and the interior of the palace is clean and tidy. The ground is almost spotless, showing that it has been cleaned up.
Judging from the material of the instrument, it seems to be made of gold and silver, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like any of the materials widely circulated in the market.
Judging from the appearance, it looks a bit like a seismometer. It is also surrounded by nine dragons, but their heads are slightly raised, arching something in the middle. The middle is not a ball, but a larger dragon with an open mouth.
This dragon looks even more imposing. It holds a bead slightly smaller than a fist in its mouth. The bead is bright and radiant, and it looks like it is not an ordinary thing.
Under this coiled dragon, white mist seemed to rise slightly, and there was an oval golden plate underground.
"Everything is intact and not damaged." The old eunuch standing in front of the magic weapon looked at it carefully and nodded slightly.
It has been inspected and there is no damage at all. It can still be used. This is the most important thing.
At this moment, a bright yellow figure came from outside the palace, and the old eunuch saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the Nine Dragons Instrument."
"Unlike the seismograph, it does not monitor earthquakes, but monitors the king's energy, and can use it to cast spells on princes. Taizu was disgusted by it, so he ordered it to be sealed."
