Zhao Guanren was sitting in the hall in the front yard smoking a cigarette. The people from the Epidemic Department were still busy around. He had cleared away the evil spirits in the palace. The women were cleaning up the inner house. The secret passage he had just discovered also made him recover.
As it is, no one said anything.
‘Female officer Liu Shang! Shang’s bedroom is in the emperor’s harem, a place where the concubines sleep...’
Zhao Guanren remembered Qi Guiren's words. Qi Guiren stayed in his house for five days. Through Qi Guiren, he knew a lot about the forbidden palace. Moreover, the prince's East Palace was in the forbidden palace, and the maid who waited on Qi Guiren to sleep was from
Still in bed.
"The secret passage has been abandoned for a long time. The ghost should be used to scare people..."
Zhao Guanren said to himself that the secret passage had not been opened for a long time. If the old prince wanted to rebel and dug a secret passage to assassinate the emperor, the possibility was very high, but there was no reason for him to turn himself into a ghost to visit the door.
This is obviously the method of Onmyoji.
"Could it be that they killed people and silenced them after the cooperation failed, or the time was not yet ripe..."
Zhao Guanren stood up as he spoke, and saw a red-robed official striding in, followed by two sword-wielding entourages. He was about forty years old, and his burly figure could tell that he was a military attache.
He guessed who the other party was in an instant.
"You are Inspector Qin, I am Zhao Yunxuan..."
Zhao Guanren greeted him with a smile. This guy must be Qin Yueming, the left supervisor of the Archguard Division, one of the most capable officers under the prince. Only he would have to come to the Disease Department. But although this guy has the same position as him, he is a third-level officer.
Senior officer.
"Haha~ Inspector Zhao really has a good eye..."
Inspector Qin walked in and said with a smile, cupping his hands: "But Mr. Zhao, have you forgotten that you are still the right inspector of our Guards Department? I have been waiting for you in the Yamen for half a day, but you are busy here. Come with me, Prince."
I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you!"
"Master Zhao! I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Suddenly several more officials walked in outside the door, all of whom were under Prince Duan. The leader ignored Inspector Qin when he entered the door. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has set up a banquet in Feihe Tower and will personally take care of you. The sedan chair is already here.
We’re waiting for you outside the door!”
"I say Master Xiong, you are so courageous..."
Supervisor Qin sneered: "Mr. Zhao is the right supervisor of our Imperial Guard Division, and the Crown Prince is his immediate superior. It is purely official business for us to serve him, but your Prince Duan's secret friendship with the courtiers is a serious crime suspected of treason!"
"Master Qin! Don't blame me randomly..."
Mr. Xiong said with a sneer: "Yesterday, the emperor appointed Prince Duan to be solely responsible for negotiating with Kyrgyzstan. The candidates for the mission are being selected, and Mr. Zhao is one of the candidates. Prince Duan invited him to come over for face-to-face consultations. How could he be treasonous?"
Don’t you think so?”
"Two adults, stop arguing, I'm not a hottie..."
Zhao Guanren smiled bitterly and said: "Master Song from the Salt Transport Department and I are from the same hometown. He has been waiting at the city gate early in the morning and asked several fellow villagers to pick up the wind for me. I agreed as soon as I entered the city. I can only trouble the two adults to tell the two highnesses.
, I will be the host and invite a few of you tomorrow, just as an apology!"
"I'm serious! You have to come to the Guards Department tomorrow morning to take up your duties, so I won't disturb you today..."
Supervisor Qin patted him happily, and Mr. Xiong didn't say anything nonsense. Both of them knew that he was sitting on a wall and couldn't get off. No matter which side he fell to, he would not have a good life. He said that it was just a test, and they were relieved after saying it.
Left quickly.
"I'm afraid I'll have to come and invite you secretly tonight..."
Song Chizhu came over grabbing peanut shells. Zhao Guanren grabbed a few and said: "Now a lot of eyes are staring at me, and the emperor is also watching their reactions. If you are smart, you won't invite me in these few days. Let's go."
!I’ll go with you to the Fengfeng Banquet!”
"What is the reception feast?"
Song Chizhu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized: "Oh, right! You are using me as a shield, but you have to change into casual clothes, otherwise when people see you in your white official uniform, the store won't let us in!"
"Luo Tan! Go and call all the ladies. Let's have a big dinner today. Mr. Song is treating you..."
Zhao Guanren howled and walked out. He was naturally different from the men in Dashun. He had a beautiful wife who wanted to hide under the bed. He directly took his wives and concubines through the city. He was familiar with the local customs and walked around the center of the city.
Go to eat.
Three days flew by...
"When the horse's hooves go south, people look north, and when people look north, the grass is green and the yellow dust is flying. I am willing to defend the land and reopen the frontier. I will let everyone from all over come to congratulate me with great success..."
Waves of high-pitched singing broke the tranquility of the morning, and the singing even spread into the deep palace of Ouchi, making the Ouchi guards on guard shake their heads and hum along unconsciously. The little eunuchs and the little palace maids even sang together.
Sing along the way.
"Who is singing? Why is the voice so loud..."
Emperor Shunyao walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back. The disheveled princess hurried over and put a Kowloon cloak on him. She complained: "I started singing the day before yesterday, once in the morning and once in the evening. It's even more punctual than the crow of a rooster.
I hear it most clearly from my side!"
"If you return to the emperor..."
The leader, the old eunuch, came out and said with a smile: "This is Chief Zhao's medical school singing. Thousands of people can sing loudly together, and many ministers have learned it!"
"What kind of song is this? Why is it both defending territory and opening up frontiers..."
Emperor Shunyao took a few steps forward and listened carefully. The old eunuch took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said with a smile: "This is the lyrics I copied from the young princess. The title of the song is "Serving the Country with Loyalty". I specially sent someone to
I went to ask, and Chief Zhao said that to give the students a sense of mission, they should sing it once in the morning and twice in the evening!"
"Not bad! What a loyal and loyal person to serve the country..."
Emperor Shunyao nodded and praised: "Although this poem is written in a simple and straightforward way, it is catchy and majestic. It can invigorate the spirit and improve morale. It is most suitable for the soldiers at the bottom who are illiterate. Send someone to give the score as well."
If you want to come, let the soldiers of each battalion sing it twice in the morning and evening!"
"No music! Only words..."
The old eunuch smiled bitterly and said: "The little princess said that Chief Zhao can't compose music, and everyone sings along with him. The little princess can actually play it on the Yaoqin, but she said that the Yaoqin is not powerful enough to create a majestic feeling.
, choosing the right musical instrument!”
"Oh, what?"
Emperor Shunyao looked at him confused.
"Your Majesty! Ollie, just scream and say it backwards..."
The old eunuch smiled and said: "For example, dog leash means get out, what else is out, Niu Chacha, Lao Tie 666, they are all new words created by the little princess. They have become the mantra of the ministers, slaves and maids specially
I went to ask the little princess for advice, otherwise I really wouldn’t understand!”
"Haha~ The little clever guy can make mischief..."
Emperor Shunyao smiled heartily and said: "Young people now have many more tricks than we did back then, but why haven't I seen Yongning these days? She used to jump around in front of me all the time. Is she out of the palace?"
After a while, you started to dislike me as an old man?"
"Your Majesty! How dare the little princess despise you? She thinks that we in the palace have not seen the world..."
The old eunuch covered his mouth and said with a smile: "The little princess made a bunch of novelty things outside, and led people to play in the garden all day long. The maids went to her courtyard after work, and several ladies went to her on time every day.
In the palace, it’s hard to go back even if it’s not dark!”
"Concubine Tong!"
Emperor Shunyao turned to look at his concubine and asked curiously: "Have you ever been to Yongning to play? Are all the people in the palace really like local leopards?"
"I'm not going! I don't have any meat to eat..."
Concubine Tong said with a smile: "The things in Yongning are indeed novel, such as the tortoise and the hare race, bowling, recreational chess, checkers, etc., but the bets were cakes and meat, so I went to play for half a day, and ended up losing a month's worth of meat.
She was deceived and can only eat fast!"
"Come here..."
Emperor Shunyao said in her ear: "I played checkers with her and never won. She thought I was stupid and stopped playing with me. I have to get this face back. You send someone to secretly make a pair of checkers."
, I will spar with you tonight, and then I can regain my face after I finish practicing!"
"I accept the decree!"
Concubine Tong covered her mouth and giggled, helped him into the palace, changed clothes and had breakfast. Emperor Yao quickly walked to the imperial study room, and a golden-armored general also came in and kowtowed to say hello.
"Get up!"
Emperor Shunyao sat behind the desk, raised his hand and said, "No life! Zhao Yunxuan has been in Beijing for three days. I heard that he has been staying in the inner courtyard of the Disease Department. Has anything strange happened?"
"No! Your Majesty is right, the people in the Disease Department are indeed evil..."
Wu Ming stood up and said: "All the female relatives in Zhao Yunxuan's palace live in the inner courtyard, and they are very happy playing songs every night. Even the people nearby said that they can no longer hear the female ghosts in the palace crying miserably, and the female ghosts scare them away.
, it is really invulnerable to all kinds of poisons and keeps away from all kinds of evil!"
"It has been more than ten years, and there is finally peace..."
Emperor Shunyao smiled and said: "This is called fighting poison with poison. They are a group of people who specialize in treating corpses and zombies. Naturally, they can suppress those dirty things. By the way! How are the princes and the others doing lately?"
"If you return to the emperor..."
Wu Ming replied: "The prince has been on duty at the Gongwei Department these days. Prince Duan has gone to the county seat but has not returned. Zhao Yunxuan is busy with epidemic prevention. He goes to the Gongwei Department every morning to order a meal, and he can bring the full number of people there in half an hour at most.
The city is in chaos, but I haven’t seen him handling the affairs of the Guards Department!”
"Hmph~ These three people work together very well. Who are they going to show it to..."
Emperor Shunyao picked up the tea bowl and said disdainfully: "Lao Jiu went to Lantai, and suddenly he seemed to have an idea. He took back the merits one by one, but deliberately made some low-level mistakes for me to punish. Xiao Qi also
After going to Lantai at night, the prince became much more cautious when he came back, and his words were impeccable!"
"emperor!"
Wu Ming solemnly said: "Wei Chen really can't believe that this is actually the work of a young man. How did he come up with such powerful means?"
"Do you know how Yang Che evaluates him..."
Emperor Shunyao raised his head and said: "Excellent in planning! Powerful to the heavens! If you don't use it for me! You must get rid of him! Yang Che is now the prefect of Ningzhou, but his decrees are not as effective as Zhao Yunxuan's words. That idiot Li Mingde was also
I was so squeezed out that I was fired from my job and got out of Lantai County!"
"oh?"
Wu Ming was surprised and said: "Yang Zhuangyuan is not a jealous person, but he would evaluate him like this. It seems that he is really afraid of Zhao Yunxuan!"
"Yang Che said that he has been an official for seventeen years, but his skills are the only ones he has ever seen in his life..."
Emperor Shunyao said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world thought that I abolished the Jingdu Guards. In fact, I concentrated their efforts to thoroughly investigate the Lantai Incident. They also gave me a concise evaluation.
Greedy for money and lustful! Be bold! Be righteous! Do your duty!”
"emperor!"
Wu Ming was surprised and said: "Doesn't this sound contradictory?"
"There is no contradiction, no one is perfect, some men are not lustful, some officials are not greedy for money..."
Emperor Shunyao smiled and said: "Zhao Yunxuan single-handedly dug out the Thai thief, which made the long-standing case come to light. In order to eliminate the poison, he dared to confront the imperial envoy and destroyed the poison in public at all costs. Therefore, he did not hide his flaws. He was serious about treating the poison. That kid
You are full of righteousness!"
"Um!"
Wu Ming nodded and said: "If this son can be loyal to the emperor, he will be a genius!"
"I've been listening to what others say, but after all, it's just smoke and mirrors..."
Emperor Shunyao knocked on the table lightly and said: "Send someone to ask him to come to court. Don't give him any time to prepare. I will knock it myself. If I knock it well, it will be of great use!"
