Chapter 845 The first emperor to pay a private visit incognito
Over the years, Zhao Rui has personally promoted many Jinshi. If someone takes stock, they will find that these people have all entered the palace examination and been tested by Zhao Rui personally. They are all recognized in terms of character and ability.

At this time, a government official came over: "Back to Your Majesty, Qiu Lu and Ke Xing have been complaining, saying that they don't know the evil Buddha. The man lied to them and said he was a Taoist priest who told their family's fortunes and prayed for blessings. They were deceived by the evil Buddha."

Zhao Rui snorted coldly: "Oh, now I know I'm afraid."

Gu Qingjue replied to the yamen servant: "Even if you don't know that the Taoist priest is the evil Buddha, you can still get what you want. The Taoist priest has told them that the lives of these five children will be exchanged for the prosperity of their family. In this regard, they are not unfair at all. Go back and tell them that they have been convicted and their family members have not been affected. If they still say they are unjust, then we will have a public trial and bring their family members, and anyone who knows will be severely punished. "

"Yes."

After the yamen servant said these words, they no longer complained about injustice.

After settling the matter here, it is already December 21st, and it will be Yuan Day in a few days.

Empress Dowager Cao asked someone to send a message to Zhao Rui and asked when he would return.

Gu Qingjue was drinking tea and wanted to hear Zhao Rui's thoughts on whether to continue walking west or return to Beijing at this time.

"Master, you heard what the Queen Mother just said."

"Ah."

"I just want to continue to see the great rivers and mountains of the Song Dynasty, and I don't want to go back so soon."

Gu Qingjue nodded: "But what the Queen Mother said is not unreasonable."

"Then master means that I will return to Beijing at this time?"

"I don't mean anything."

Zhao Rui: "..."

The master couldn't be direct. If he said to keep going, he could also reply to the Queen Mother and say that this was the Tutor's wish and let him exercise again. The palace banquet did not have to be held, so what if it was a year later.

Zhao Yu shook his head: "Fifth brother, I don't want to go back."

It's so fun to be outside and have a good fight. In Kyoto, those people always let me go, don't think he can't see it.

He's not stupid.

Zhao Rui said he didn't want to go back either.

Even if he is an emperor, he does not feel comfortable being bound by so many rules and regulations.

Also, once he goes back, the minister's pressure to get married will definitely not end, and he doesn't want to establish a queen.

After Gu Qingjue left, Zhao Rui suddenly smiled.

He finally understood why the master didn't speak just now.

He has always adhered to his duties as a minister. Even if he is a Taifu, he is still a minister. He cannot interfere with the emperor's decision.

Even if his final decision was consistent with Gu Qingjue's, he didn't say it out loud.

After a good sleep, Zhao Rui was not as emotional as last night and decided to continue walking west, but he encountered his first assassination since leaving Beijing.

Naturally, the person was taken care of very easily.

Assassination is no child's play. One person was left alive to search for his soul, but nothing was found. It was obvious that the other party was on guard and had erased everything about the mastermind.

"Do you know that I am going back to Beijing?"

Zhao Rui didn't say anything to anyone about his decision. He originally planned to continue westward and return to Kyoto with Pan Gong Yu Jian at 29:00.

But as soon as the Queen Mother asked him about returning to Beijing, he was assassinated.

He didn't tell anyone about his plans, so it could only be a problem with the Queen Mother.

Zhao Rui thought carefully, and the most likely possibility was that the Queen Mother did not turn away the servants who were accompanying her when she asked the practitioners to transmit the message.

But Zhao Rui is more or less aware of his mother's habits.

She doesn't like crowds of people, and the only people around her are Mama Rong and Forsythia. Needless to say, these people are loyal to their mother.

That was... Pan Yi dealt with the person directly. Zhao Rui called Mr. Pan and asked him who he was communicating with this time.

"Your Majesty, you are the eldest disciple of an elder in our clan, named Yu Chang."

"Are you familiar with this person?"

Pan Gong: "Your Majesty suspects that this assassination is related to Yu Chang?"

Zhao Rui nodded.

"Yu Chang was taken into the disciples by the elders when he was thirteen years old. This man has fair qualifications, is quite diligent, and is very popular in the Pan family. Although I don't have much contact with Yu Chang, he doesn't look like he is casual. People who abandon their own principles.”

"I know. I will ask the master to investigate this matter in person."

After Pan Gong left, Zhao Rui and Gu Qingjue discussed the assassination. Gu Qingjue said: "I'm afraid this is just a test, and I'm holding back a big move later."

Zhao Rui slapped the table: "Someone actually wants to kill me. Who is it?"

"Master, do you have any suspicion?"

"What about Your Majesty?"

Zhao Rui: "I thought about it, and the most likely ones are those who wanted to rebel when the late emperor was still alive."

"No."

"Master, are you so sure?"

"They must know that you came out this time. You brought Pan Gong, Commander Zeng, Commander Fang, as well as the minister and the princess. With such a lineup, unless they are out of their minds, they have no chance of winning. "

It seems that their cultivation is not at the top level.

But they all know that Su Yixin is a cultivator related to both the Wuji Sect and the Xuanyin Sect. If there is a matter of life and death, these two sects will never sit idly by.

"What if they bet that they can kill me?"

"Your Majesty, if you are killed, they will not be able to inherit the throne. Even smart people will not do thankless things."

Nowadays, the imperial court is prosperous, and Gu Qingjue has always sent people to keep an eye on their movements, not to mention shrinking into quails, but they are still at peace.

If there was really such a commotion, there was no way he wouldn't know about it.

"Not them."

Then Zhao Rui really can't think of anyone.

"Da Liao."

Zhao Rui looked at Gu Qingjue in surprise: "How could it be Daliao? Could it be that the people serving the queen mother are also skilled in Daliao?"

Zhao Rui was frightened when he thought of this possibility.

"Your Majesty, please be at peace."

Gu Qingjue said: "Even if there is a detailed operation from Daliao, it must be that Your Majesty did not approach the Queen Mother until this time. The purpose should be to get news from Your Majesty. Therefore, the Queen Mother will not be in danger for the time being."

In the imperial city of Daliao, there were thousands of people working for me. This is normal.

Under normal circumstances, the purpose of careful work is not to kill people, but to obtain useful information.

The two discussed in the room for a long time, and finally asked Pan Gong to send a message to Kyoto, saying that they would ride back to Kyoto now and would arrive in Kyoto before Yuan Day.

"horse riding?"

The man in the dark asked the man in black kneeling on the ground: "There are practitioners of the Mahayana stage around Emperor Song who want to go back, but it will only take a few hours."

"Sir, they were visiting privately incognito. The journey was very slow. It took four or five months to travel from the capital of the Song Dynasty to Dali."

The black-clothed guard sneered twice: "This is the first emperor of the Song Dynasty who visited privately incognito. Does he feel that his political achievements in the past few years are remarkable and want to go out to appreciate them in person? In this case, let him go out with his life. If there is no life, Sit in that position again.”
