Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 864 Precarious
"Oh, he's back?" After hearing the news from his confidant, Yang Yuanyuan put down the document in his hand, leaned back in his chair, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke gently, "Where is the kid from the Wang family now?"

Yang Yuanyuan looked no different from usual, but his confidants felt that his master was planning something bad.

He chose his words carefully, "After Wang Erlangjun returned to the city, he only brought one person with him. It was not the second lady of the Xie family, nor was it the boy who stayed at the Chen family. It was another young man who was a little older and looked a little unfamiliar."

"Oh?" Yang Yuanyuan leaned forward slightly, "The boy from the Wang family is willing to separate from the girl from the Xie family?"

The confidant felt helpless. His master's intention to watch the show should not be too obvious. "It is true that I have never seen the second lady of the Xie family. When I was investigating, I found that there were several groups of people secretly watching. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I did not dare to investigate further."

Yang Yuanyuan waved his hand and waited for his confidant to leave the study.

He then rubbed his brows. Even if he was heartless, the troubles he had encountered recently, both overt and covert, made Yang Yuanyuan a little tired. Especially that Minister Xing, who was like a dog with a bone and wouldn't let go.

The source of all this is Wang Xuanzhi and Daoyi.

There were transactions and favors involved between him and the two men, and things were far from over, so it was understandable that he always asked people to pay attention to the movements of the Wang and Xie families.

The other groups of people cannot surpass those in Beijing.

Yang Yuanyuan didn't even need to check, he just had a bad feeling.

He is a heartless and emotionless person, without the simplest emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

He could see clearly everything in this world, but his heart was not disturbed at all. For example, recently in the Dali Temple, the suspects in many cases were not unforgivable people. When others heard about it, they would have sympathy and empathy, but he just gave the most impartial result according to the law and the sufferings of the prisoners, without any ripples in his heart.

Most people have different thoughts. At most, they will sigh a few words when this matter is mentioned, but they will not do more for others.

For example, he protected Yang Dongting only because he knew that he was related by blood and he should protect him.

But in his opinion, Daoyi and Wang Xuanzhi were different.

Daoyi is more like the law of nature, and is mostly based on the heart. If such a person does good, the world will be peaceful, and if he does evil, the world will be in turmoil.

Wang Xuanzhi is different. He understands the suffering of others and respects and fears every life. He has many emotions and righteousness. He will not blindly sympathize with others. He clearly knows what he is doing.

When he could no longer work as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he resolutely gave up the position that so many officials were vying for, without any nostalgia, and nominated himself to the position simply because he felt that he was suitable for the position.

Although the boy didn't say anything, Yang Yuanyuan saw it clearly.

What Wang Xuanzhi wants to protect is every inch of the world.

Everything he did was to make the world a better place.

Or maybe Wang Xuanzhi's entire person was built up of love, and every inch of his blood and bones was building this world bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little excited.

A person who walks in the world with love can bloom flowers that amaze the world.

When Wang Xuanzhi returned to Beijing, various rumors about him were whispered in every courtyard.

"."

"Pah!" In the empty Taiji Hall, a white jade paperweight fell at Wang Xuanzhi's feet, like frost in winter, and along with it, there was the anger of the saint on the high seat, "Wang Xuanzhi, do you understand what you are saying?"

The saint's chest rose and fell, and he held another paperweight in his hand.

Wang Xuanzhi raised his head and then lowered his eyes. "The Crown Prince's matter is that I caught a member of the Five Characters alive and he confessed. This matter is serious, and I dare not delay, nor do I dare to send a message. But after discussing with my colleagues, she will continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Five Characters, and I will return to the capital to report to Your Majesty."

The saint panted heavily, distracted from the prince's affairs, "Daoyi, but the second wife of the Xie family is also your fiancée, An Dao. She is just a little girl, how can she take on such a responsibility?"

Wang Xuanzhi lowered his head even lower, his spine straightened, "To reply to your Majesty, most women in the world are trapped in the inner house due to the social order, but they can settle in the back house like men settle in the front yard, which shows that everyone in the world has their merits. How can we know that women can't shine after leaving the back house?"

Seeing that the Saint did not respond, Wang Xuanzhi said, "I have one more thing to do, Your Majesty. Before leaving the capital, the Saint gave me the token. Now it is in Daoyi's possession. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

saint:"."

The saint lost his temper for a moment.

Can he ask Wang Xuanzhi to retrieve the token now?
He had seen Daoyi's abilities three years ago and remembered them clearly. What was the difference between releasing such a person from the capital and letting a fish enter deep water?

But the necessary anger should still be expressed, and the dignity of the saint should not be lost. "Bold Wang Xuanzhi!" Wang Xuanzhi readily saluted.

saint:"."

The saint stopped when he saw that things were going well, "I'll deal with you two together when Second Lady Xie returns to the capital."

If it's not a punishment, then it's not serious.

Wang Xuanzhi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's matter is of great importance. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

saint:"."

The sage was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Da Lang was raised by me, and he has been the same in recent years. I cannot doubt the prince just because of your words. You go down first, and let me think about it carefully."

Wang Xuanzhi expressed his understanding. If he had not followed Daoyi in the past few years, he would have regarded such miraculous things as notes written by his grandfather to fool the younger generation. It was normal for the saint to find it difficult to accept it for a while.

"I'll take my leave!"

"An Dao."

The saint wanted to say something else, but in the end he just waved his hand.

Except for the saint's secret guards, Wang Xuanzhi did not alarm anyone else and quietly left the Taiji Hall.

The saint sat in the hall for a long time. Just as Zhang De, who was waiting outside, was hesitating whether to go in and risk his head, the saint's tired voice came from inside the hall, "Come here, bring the writing brush and ink."

When Zhang De left the hall again, the moon was already at its zenith.

The wind blew over his body, making him feel cold. Only then did Zhang De realize that his back was all wet.

He looked at the dark sky and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and without wasting a quarter of an hour, he arranged for the palace servants to serve the saint.

The next day, the sage issued an imperial decree: send someone to escort Prince Xuan back to the capital.

One decree can cause a thousand waves.

I don't understand why the saint is so angry.

The prince fought very well in the Jiehu War, so why call him back now?
Could it be that the saint is in poor health and needs to die early?

Facing all kinds of looks from his ministers, the sage was extremely angry, but he couldn't say it clearly.

He could only vent his anger in his heart, wondering what kind of trouble Wang Xuanzhi, who caused this incident, would cause him in the future.

People with a keen sense of smell, such as Yang Yuanyuan and Li Shangshu, knew that this matter was closely related to Wang Xuanzhi.

When Wang Xuanzhi returned to the capital, the emperor issued an imperial decree. Isn't this obvious?

But what did the saint and Wang Xuanzhi do behind the backs of these court officials?
Is there anything that these ministers who have taken root in the court cannot solve?
The saint is not kind!

Another person involved, carrying gifts, went to the Xie and Chen families first.

When he was about to visit other friends' homes, he learned that Yang Yuanyuan, upon receiving the news, brought his nephew Yang Dongting, Lu Yun, Ruan Si, Wang Caozhi, and finally the married Xu Dongting, under the pretext of being invincible in both civil and military affairs.

It is said that Xu Dongting, holding the pregnant Lianshan, cried uncontrollably.

Needless to say, these were all caused by Yang Yuanyuan. He didn't mention it in the letter, so he must have done it on purpose to make trouble for him.

Wang Xuanzhi.
Wang Xuanzhi really wanted to tell Yang Yuanyuan that the fight between civil and military officials in the court was thanks to civil officials like them.

In the end, he only gave the Yang family a vague reminder, and stayed indoors at the same time as the Xie family, so that those who still wanted to find out the truth could only sigh in regret.

Some careful people also noticed that Chen Shuguang, who seemed to be wasting his time, suddenly tightened his face and grew taller, as if he was gathering strength so that he could pounce and bite the person in front of him at any time.

It's terrifying to look at.

In these days when storms could come at any time, Wang Xuanzhi settled Xiaotong at home and waited for Ling Xuzi to come.

In his spare time, his gentle eyes would sweep across the walls of the imperial city.
The tail is so big~
