imperial psychologist

Chapter 579
Along the winding plank road, Chen Xin came to the high place of Lan Zi.

From time to time, he looked down at the nearby railing.

Lan Zihao is located in the center of Baihuaya, and there is no taller building blocking Lan Zhijun's Golden Pavilion.

Although Baihuaya is located on a lower terrain, looking down from here, one can still see the tile-roofed houses of ordinary people in a small half of Pingjing City.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xin suddenly felt a little annoyed. The boss of a mere flower kiln lives in such a place every day, facing such a scene. Does this conform to Da Zhou's regulations?
The door of the Golden Pavilion was open, and Lan Zhijun had already made tea and sat at the small table for daily chatting, waiting for Chen Xin's arrival.

……

In the cabinet, Sun Beiji had just presided over a morning meeting of the cabinet members. He took off his glasses and slowly sat down while leaning on the edge of the table.

He lightly pinched the bridge of his nose with two fingers, and quickly closed his eyes to rest for a while while no one was watching.

But the familiar sound of footsteps reappeared soon. Although it was very slight, Sun Beiji could still recognize the sound of footsteps—it was Zhang Shouzhong.

"Old Ge, the emperor has arrived in Zhuozhou the day before yesterday." Zhang Shouzhong put a letter on Sun Beiji's desk, "The Holy Majesty even wrote a short book himself, can you read it?"

"Shouzhong tell me." Sun Beiji said wearily.

Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "The main thing is to ask about the follow-up interrogation results of our Qingpao bandits."

"...This is not a big deal at the moment, let's play it as it is, that's all."

Zhang Shouzhong remained silent, this silence made Sun Beiji open his eyes.

"What are the guards worried about?"

"...The Ministry of War also received a piece of news today, which is only a rumor for the time being, and there is no evidence." Zhang Shouzhong said with deep eyes, "But General Shen sent it back."

Sun Beiji looked solemnly, "Say it."

"At the beginning of last month, the prefect of Zhuozhou arrested two ordinary people who could speak the golden language, but later it was found out that they were just farmers visiting relatives in Jiangzhou City, so they were released again." Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "At that time, in order to check the two people As for their identities, the Zhuozhou Prefecture Yamen sent the interrogation confessions to Jiangzhou, and only then did their identities be confirmed.

"But after the Jiangzhou government cleaned up the remnants of the Qingpao bandits, when they entered the information, they found these two people again."

"General Shen...does he suspect that the blue-robed bandits are colluding with the Jin people?" Sun Beiji frowned slightly.

"There is no evidence," Zhang Shouzhong said softly. "It is a great coincidence that this matter will be discovered. At that time, the Jiangzhou government was short of manpower, and several clerks in the lower yamen also went up the mountain to help clean up the corpses. There are more than a dozen wounded hiding in the stockade.

"The government entered their identities on the spot—it turned out that among the documents on the spot, one happened to be the one who had sorted out the confession of the Zhuozhou government before, so I recognized it.

"But those two people were seriously injured and died before they could go down the mountain." Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "Gongyang En learned about this and immediately reported it to Zhuozhou, and also sent a document to Beijing. Come here."

Sun Beiji frowned, "Why don't we know?"

"There are still too many urgent reports from various places during this period. When the people below are sorting out, they will look at the specific reasons and the frequency of occurrence of the incident. Gongyang En only reported this matter once, and it is mostly speculation, so the following People didn't report this matter to the cabinet, and it wasn't until General Shen sent it again today with his courier."

Sun Beiji thought for a while, "It's also...Zhuozhou is on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and some of the people can speak the golden language. It's a very common thing. Shouzhong, is it because you are worried about the emperor's safety?"

"Yes, I am worried about the safety of the emperor's trip!" Zhang Shouzhong said in a deep voice, "...Four years ago, the emperor personally cut off the structure of the previous crown prince's meeting with An Pavilion. Mr. Yuan handed over his hand to see Ange and turned into a bandit, then today, the emperor's northern tour—"

"This is not the emperor's first northern tour," Sun Beiji said in a low voice. "In the second year of Shengming, the Holy Majesty went to the northern border. What's more, this time he was accompanied by the Shenji camp. something..."

Sun Beiji frowned, and said again, "It's in the capital, we have to be careful."

Zhang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the upheaval in the capital in the 45th year of Jianxi.

"Yes..." Zhang Shouzhong frowned even tighter, "The situation is changing..."

Zhang Shouzhong suddenly paced up and down in the room.

"Ge Lao, do you still remember that although the Qingpao bandits existed in the first year of Shengming, they suddenly grew stronger at the end of the second year of Shengming?"

"I have an impression." Sun Beiji said in a low voice, "There was a severe drought in Jiangzhou that year, and there was no harvest at the end of summer."

"Yes, we originally looked at this incident together with the drought that year. The people could not survive and had to fall into the grass, which made the Qingpao bandits become arrogant. But now it seems... this incident may not be so serious. Simple?"

"...Let's not rush to this conclusion." Sun Beiji straightened his back, "Let's go at our own pace. Since the emperor asked us about the results of our interrogation of the Qingpao Bandits, we will first summarize the confession and follow-up A copy of the disposal will be sent.

"The emperor is currently in Zhuozhou, staying with old general Shen. I am afraid that the emperor is more aware of the many turmoil in the northern border than we are at this moment... Trust the emperor."

Zhang Shouzhong was somewhat regretful, "I really shouldn't have temporarily dispatched a thousand mausoleum guards to go north."

"It's hard to buy a thousand pieces of gold, we knew that we were concerned about the emperor's safety." Sun Beiji said in a low voice, "Besides, I agree with this matter, so don't blame yourself alone."

Sun Beiji stood up, raised his hand to raise his glass, and took a sip of the cool tea.

"The capital is no longer what it was four years ago. No matter what the situation in the future is, we are prepared." Sun Beiji comforted, "We will listen to the order for the time being. It is already June and autumn is coming again. We have more important things to do." things to do."

"...I understand." Zhang Shouzhong nodded.

The whole big week is staring at this year's North.

Autumn is here, and the tigers, leopards and wolves on the grassland will make a comeback again, and perhaps another group of people have to turn into refugees and move south.

"By the way," Sun Beiji said with deep eyes, "the Qinyuan side still needs someone to watch... I'll go find Eunuch Yuan later, it's best to completely cut off Hengyuan from the outside world like it did at the beginning of this year. contact."

"Elder Ge and that Lord Hengyuan, have you been in contact with each other over the years?" Zhang Shouzhong asked.

Sun Beiji shook his head, "I'm the same as you. Except for the night when Song's father and son rebelled, I never met him face to face."

"It's too mysterious." Zhang Shouzhong sighed in a low voice.

"It's all old stuff..." Sun Beiji raised his eyebrows slightly, "If this gentleman really has the ability to pass gold, we can kill him in Qinyuan first."
