The afterglow of the setting sun drowned me out, and in another hour, it would be time for the palace to be closed.
In the Taiji Palace, the palace people began to light lamps. A month ago, the palace was not so 'luxury' because of poverty. But recently, with the profit sharing from the horse farm, it was a little more generous. Queen Changsun bought a batch of candles at her discretion. First of all,
Naturally, it was to be supplied to the emperor.
The palace people opened the lanterns, lit the candles, and then carefully covered them again, proceeding in an orderly manner. After the last lantern was lit, the palace people slowly retreated. Only Li Shimin was left in the hall, still looking at the backlog.
memorial.
Suddenly there was a sound, Li Shimin put down the memorial and looked at Yuan Tiangang who came out of the secret passage.
"How is the investigation going?"
"Reporting to your majesty, I have found out. This woman's name is Nazha. She tricked Li Siwen, Li Ji's son, to come to Chang'an and stayed temporarily in Zhuluhou Mansion for two days. Then something happened to Zhuluhou, and she was placed in the free space of the craftsman's workshop.
Inside the house. Yesterday, Li Siwen begged Li Mu to take him and Nazha to the heaven and earth. Then an assassination occurred. Jie Li was not injured, but his son Dieluozhi was stabbed. Li Mu dealt with it in time and suppressed the matter.
. Later during the interrogation, he sent people to search Nazha’s residence and found a jade plaque carved by Prince Yin himself.”
"Jade plaque?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "What is engraved on it?"
"Little Eunuch Chen's secret memorial has the words 'Bishamon' engraved on it. There may be other words on the back, but he didn't see it clearly."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right. Brother Huang's small character Bishamon has indeed carved many jade tablets. Continue."
"Li Mu didn't dare to make the decision, so he showed it to the Emperor. The Emperor recognized the jade plaque and insisted on seeing Nazha. Li Mu refused at first, but the Emperor insisted, so he took Nazha to meet the Emperor. Then the Emperor asked
Bao Nazha, Li Mu was disgusted with Nazha because of Li Siwen's affairs and was unwilling to protect her, so he had a quarrel with Nazha. Your Majesty knows what happened next."
"Is that all?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded and said: "This is what we have put together based on the information obtained from various informants. Another thing is that the concierge of Zhuluhou Mansion is also a subordinate of the minister. He sent back the news yesterday that Li Mu came home late at night
, instead of going to the back house, I rested in the studio, with the lights on until dawn, and I don’t know what I did.”
"Ha!" Li Shimin took the scroll next to him, handed it to Yuan Tiangang, and said, "Just look at this picture, what can you tell?"
Yuan Tiangang opened it and took a look at it, and said: "This is a relatively detailed geographical map of Huining County's mountains and rivers, but if you say anything... Your Majesty, I can't see anything special."
"That's it. It's impossible for Li Mu to know about the treasure, and it's impossible for Father to tell him, and even less for Nazha. Even if Li Mu reads this scroll, he can't see anything. So I believe what he said, he is
I was frightened by this incident, and I was terrified all night long... I don't blame him for being timid, it's the same for everyone when it comes to this kind of thing, and I'm afraid it will be the same if it's an auxiliary aircraft."
Yuan Tiangang put the scroll back on the table and said: "Your Majesty, now that we know that the treasure is in Huining County, will you send someone to search for it immediately?"
"You have to look for it, but Huining County is not a small place. The entrance to this underground palace must be hidden and difficult to find... But I think that such a large underground palace must be built according to Feng Shui, and there are traces to follow. If
When it comes to Feng Shui, is there anyone in the world who is better at it than you? I want you to go there in person, but I don't worry about anyone else."
"Your Majesty..." Yuan Tiangang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to serve, but because of my status..."
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "I can even entrust you with my life, but how can I not entrust you with my treasure? If you want to kill me, I have already died a thousand times. I trust you, just do it."
Yuan Tiangang quickly expressed his gratitude and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
"Another thing, how's the investigation going?"
Yuan Tiangang came closer to Li Shimin and lowered his voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I sent a secret spy to follow Mrs. Mudan last night. I think there will be a reward soon. As soon as there is news, I will inform Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's not that I don't trust Li Mu, it's just that Mrs. Peony is so beautiful and beautiful, there's no guarantee that he won't be really tempted, and we have to beware of Xiaoxiao's disciples... I have no choice but to trouble you."
"This is what I should do."
While the two were talking, Eunuch Gao came in. He was not surprised to see Yuan Tiangang there. Eunuch Gao saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave has already conveyed the order. Li Siwen has left Chang'an.
Li Ji's personal soldier Wang Hu accompanied him, and Zhuluhou's brother-in-law, named Bai Gensheng, also went with him."
"How did Li Ji react?"
"Li Ji was frightened and uneasy. When the old slave arrived, he was whipping Li Siwen. Oh, Zhulu Hou was also there, perhaps trying to break up the fight. The old slave saw that he was also whipped on the back."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Although this boy has many faults, he is indeed a person who values affection and righteousness. He really treats this sworn brother like a brother. So, when you read out the decree, he was there
Next to it?"
"Yes." Eunuch Gao couldn't help laughing and said, "His face is extremely ugly, and he wants to argue with the old slave. The old slave knows that he is sharp-tongued, so he doesn't dare to argue with him."
Li Shimin seemed to have successfully deceived Li Mu, and said in a very happy tone: "I am not going back on my word. Did I kill someone? I didn't! This kid Li Mu still lacks experience after all. I will let him learn a lesson.
, it will be good for him in the future!”
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense." Eunuch Gao quickly complimented him. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhulu composed another poem today."
"Oh?" Li Shimin is also a person who likes poetry. He is very interested in Li Mu's poems and asked: "Why did he write poetry?"
"It's a farewell poem." When he mentioned this paragraph, Eunuch Gao wanted to laugh and recited all Li Mu's words and deeds. Eunuch Gao had a talent for cross talk, and he imitated it perfectly. Li Shimin burst out laughing and said: "
This guy, who speaks so brazenly and yet calls it confidence, haha, is he the first poet in the Tang Dynasty? What a thick skin! Forget it, what poems did he write? Tell me!"
"The old slave has memorized it long ago. The title of the poem is "Send off Li Xiaowei to Ren Dingxiang". The city is assisting the Three Qin Dynasties, and the wind and smoke are looking at the five capitals. I want to say goodbye to you, and we are both eunuchs. There are close friends in the sea, and we are neighbors across the world. Do nothing.
On the crossroads, children share the same fate!"
Li Shimin's smiling face suddenly darkened, and he said: "What a good boy, you really have a talent for poetry. He actually started writing poems to satirize me!"
"Ah?" Eunuch Gao was confused and said quickly: "Your Majesty, how does this poem satirize Your Majesty?"
"The city gate assists the Three Qin Dynasties, and the wind and smoke look at the five capitals. This reminds me that Li Siwen is a meritorious person, and he is guarding the border. If there is no such person to assist me, the land of the five capitals will be ignited with wind and smoke."
Okay. This second sentence is the most abominable. He said that he and Li Siwen are "both eunuchs." Isn't that just saying that I have gone back on my word? If I can send Li Siwen out today, it may be his turn tomorrow, ha!
This kid is even resentful!"
Eunuch Gao smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, have you misunderstood? When I saw the poem written by Marquis Zhulu, I didn't feel any resentment."
"That's what it means!" Li Shimin said firmly: "Although it is a joke to say that the first poet of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mu does have this confidence based on the poetic talent he displayed. He never writes poems without thinking. But
But there is not a word of nonsense that is packed with rhetoric. It seems that this kid is really depressed... Haha, have you told me what I asked you to tell me?"
"The old slave told me that Zhulu Hou said that Your Majesty does not need to remind him that he loves learning the most. No one can stop his enthusiasm for learning. If he has such a good opportunity, he will definitely cherish it."
"Another irony." Li Shimin sneered: "It seems that Kong Yingda will be in trouble tomorrow."
"It should be... no, it can't be?" Eunuch Gao said this, but he was not sure in his heart. Li Mu often did things unexpectedly, so it was not impossible to actually do it.
"We'll know tomorrow whether it's true or not." Li Shimin glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late. I still have to go to the Queen's Palace to apologize!"
The Li Zheng Palace is the bedroom of Empress Changsun, and it is also the "office" of Empress Changsun. The harem is like an institution and also needs such a place.
With Eunuch Gao accompanying him, Yuan Tiangang naturally left through the secret passage. He returned to the underground palace of Qintian Prison and waited for the secret spy sent out. According to the agreement, the secret spy should have returned a long time ago, but now something went wrong.
Yuan Tiangang was upset, so he took out three copper coins and threw them out. When he saw the hexagram, his uneasiness increased.
…
"A bosom friend is as close as a friend can be as close as a world away... This poem by Lang Jun really describes the beauty of friendship and an open-minded heart!"
In a quiet room, a woman whose face was covered with gauze looked at the poem she had just transcribed and sighed.
Under the eaves of the right corridor, three men in black were kneeling, all with their mouths gagged. Behind them, each stood a tall, round-waisted female sumo wrestler. Each sumo wrestler held a sharp blade.
Wang Ou put the copied poem in the jade box and glanced at the maid next to him. The maid understood, walked to the man in black on the left, and pulled down the cloth from his mouth.
Wang Ou glanced at him and asked quietly: "Who sent you to follow me?"
The man in black kept silent, and Wang Ou laughed. The female sumo wrestler let out a cry, and with a flash of silver light, the sharp blade passed over the man in black's neck, and a head fell and rolled!
The remaining two men in black trembled in unison. They never imagined that such a beautiful woman could be killed on the spot without even asking a single question.
The maid then pulled off the cloth from the mouth of the second man in black. Before Wang Ou could ask, the man said: "I said, I said... we are..."
Click!
Another head fell to the ground!
"I hate people who have no integrity the most!"
The last remaining man in black was about to cry. Not only was he dead, but he was still dead. My aunt, you don’t want to play like this!
