Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 537 House arrest
Yan State Duke's Mansion.

Luo Yi was teaching Changqing how to write in the study when the butler came in.

"Grandpa, there are people from the palace outside, saying that they are here by order."

The eunuch who came from the palace didn't show much enthusiasm when he saw Luo Yi, which surprised him a little.

At the beginning of the Great Sui Dynasty, in addition to the three provinces of Menxia, ​​Internal History, and Shangshu, the imperial court also had two introspections, the Secretary and the Internal Servant. The Secretary Province was in charge of book collection, history revision, astronomy and calendar, and it was a relatively leisurely yamen.The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the service agency of the inner court.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, eunuchs were in charge, and two servants of the fourth rank were appointed as high-ranking officials, and the second official was appointed as regular servants. They were in charge of the six bureaus including Shangshi and Yeting.

In the Daye Dynasty, the emperor changed the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the Changqiu Supervisor. There were Changqiu Ling, Shaoling, Cheng, etc., and they were replaced by scholars. The eunuchs were almost all low-level servants. Eunuchs were just the emperor’s servants, not court officials , the status dropped sharply.

But in any case, eunuchs are people close to the emperor after all, and some eunuchs are more respected.Those eunuchs who can meet foreign court officials are also smart, and generally make friends with foreign officials secretly.

But now the eunuch who came was in his fifties, with a white face and no beard, obviously a seasoned person, but he didn't say a word to him.

It is said that the eunuchs are the emperor's close personal, so the attitude of the eunuchs sometimes reflects the emperor's attitude towards his courtiers.

Luo Yi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty heard that Duke Yan was seriously ill, so he specially sent an old servant to bring the imperial doctor over for diagnosis and treatment, and also specially ordered that Duke Yan should not bother with court affairs, and the affairs of the Ministry of War will be handed over to General Yang Yichen for the time being. Duke Yan doesn't have to go to the court every day to introspect, and he doesn't have to go to court, he just rests at home and rests at ease, if there are important military matters in the court, His Majesty will send someone over to ask for advice."

After speaking, he waved.

Immediately, the little eunuchs sent a lot of supplements, and there were also two imperial doctors sent by the emperor.

"These are high-quality tonics specially ordered by His Majesty. From today onwards, these two imperial physicians will stay in Duke Yan's mansion for the time being and take good care of Duke Yan's body."

Although Luo Yi has been at the border for a long time and leads the army all the year round, he is not a fool.

Almost immediately understood the true meaning of the emperor.

Let him not have to go to court, and handed over the Ministry of War to Yang Yichen, and didn't even let him go out.

Where did he get sick from?Even if he is sick, he is not so sick that he is about to die, so there is no use for it.

After the eunuch finished speaking, he continued, "Recently, the world is not peaceful, and Luoyang is also a little restless, so His Majesty specially pulled out two hundred guards to stand guard for Duke Yan."

This is house arrest.

what happened?
Something important must have happened, otherwise, the emperor would not have attacked him suddenly.

It's just that Luo Yi couldn't figure out what happened for a while.

If it was really like Uncle Li Hun's nephew, then the result would definitely not be like this, it would definitely take him directly to prison, and then search and seal the door.Now he is only using other excuses to put him under house arrest and suspend his duties, which is confusing.

"Recently I'm really unwell. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so caring. I'm really flattered. There is something I want to trouble my father-in-law. I wonder if you can inform Princess Izumo's son-in-law for me to come and chat with me?"

Luo Yi tentatively said.

"I'm afraid this is inconvenient."

"Why?"

Luo Yi said while taking a paperweight from the desk, "This is a Jue paperweight made of jade from the Western Regions. It's a plaything, and I'm giving it to my father-in-law."

The eunuch had good eyesight, and he saw at a glance that this jade paperweight was worth a lot, and it could only be worth more than a hundred guan.

Accept it calmly.

Then he whispered, "I can only tell Duke Yan that Concubine Luo also suddenly fell ill today, and now he can no longer attend to affairs in the imperial camp and return to Concubine's Mansion to recuperate from his illness."

"Are you seriously ill?"

"It's not easy, I can't even get out of the house."

After finishing speaking, the eunuch refused to say anything more, and said goodbye.

Luo Yi sat in the study and thought for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.

Even Luo Siye has been placed under house arrest. It seems that Luo Yi is not just here for him. Could it be that something happened to Luo Cheng?

What could have caused the emperor to do this?

If it's just a defeat, the emperor can't be like this.

Thinking back to the order to stop conscripts issued by the emperor before, could it be said that this boy Luo Cheng was resisting the order in Liaodong and did not disband the army according to the order?
The more he thought about it, the more likely Luo Yi felt that this was possible.

If so, then this matter is really troublesome.

"This old fifth." Luo Yi sighed.

He took the child out of the study room, walked around the mansion, and found that the front, rear and side doors were already guarded by the imperial guards, and even the servants in the mansion had to go through their strict search when they came in and out.

Even outside the palace walls, the voices of guards could be heard.

The entire Duke of Yan's mansion has been surrounded.

"Changqing, ask your grandmother and mother to come to the living room for tea."

Luo Yi thought for a while, and asked Zhang Qing to call his wife Cui Shi and daughter-in-law Yan Shi to come.

Cui said to Luo Yi from a distance, "What's going on outside here? Why are there so many guards guarding the door? Even the servants from the mansion can't go out to buy vegetables. Luo Yi, what have you done?"

Luo Yi has long been accustomed to Cui Shi's domineering, and he has no time to argue with her at this time.

"Say a few words less."

Yan shi paid respects to Luo Yi and Cui shi more politely. Cui shi treated Yan shi well. After all, she had no family by herself, and over the years she cruelly killed all the children Luo Yi and other women had. , now an old age, but also lonely.

Yan Shi and her children came to the mansion, which gave her a rare enjoyment of family happiness.

In particular, Yan Shi is more aware of etiquette, and the child Chang Qing is very smart, which is even more in her favor.

Luo Yi briefly stated his guess.

Over there, Mrs. Cui almost jumped, "That Luo Cheng, why is he so ignorant, resisting the decree will be beheaded, he doesn't want to kill himself, and even implicates us."

Luo Yi ignored her, and said to Yan Shi, "See if you can find a way to get in touch with your father, Yan Shilang, and ask him to find out what happened outside. It would be best if he could write a letter to Luo Cheng. "

"Daughter-in-law understands, write when I get back."

Cui Shi was still rambling, Luo Yi said to her, "Is this the time to talk about this? With this energy, you might as well find a way to contact your family. Cui Shangshu is also your family. Let your brother and Cui Shangshu explore Looking into the situation, Cui Shangshu's daughter is Shicheng's concubine, and we are all prosperous and we are all damaged, so he will help at this time."

"It's worth a thousand knives." Cui went to write a letter to her brother cursing.

Yan also left after saluting.

Luo Yi sat there with a headache.

Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, what are you doing here?

Even if you want to do something, you have to discuss it with this side first, because you are so caught off guard now.

In his heart, Luo Yi still believes that Luo Cheng is not the kind of person who acts recklessly. After all, there is no reason to join the army to rebel and separatize Liaodong, right?
