Yan Cigui.

In the imperial study room, you can hear a needle drop.

The Holy Master didn't speak for a long time, his mouth tightened, and his jawline tightened.

What Xu Jian said was quite bold, but the Holy Emperor would not accuse him of being alarmist, but would try to calm his mind and analyze it carefully.

After all, Li Jun has died.

That's living proof.

If we continue to use common sense to judge whether Li Du will be in danger, I am afraid it is no longer appropriate.

If his second brother really risked his life, even if he was defeated like a mountain, he would still die with him...

Why did Li Jun make things difficult for him before?

Because Li Jun is crazy enough.

When an ordinary person makes a move, there is always a plan for each move, but when a lunatic makes a move, it does nothing but blinds the opponent.

The Holy Spirit is now worried that, as Li Duzhen and Xu Jian said, he is addicted to killing and doesn't care anymore.

So does he have a way to restrain Li Du?
Naturally there is.

"If you want me to die, I have no choice but to die..." the Holy Master murmured in a low voice.

This is what Li Jun said to Xu Jian. It is not difficult for a king to take human life.

However, those who sit on the dragon throne will keep it in check.

There is no king who does not want to be the master of enlightenment, and no king wants to leave an infamy after his death.

Even if Li Yi ascended to the throne by mistake, he should do it well and there is no reason to act recklessly.

Killing is easy, but the difficult thing is to kill with reason and a good reputation.

"I," the Holy Spirit sighed, "I know that I will attack my second brother in private, so I should act quickly, try to reduce the disputes and conflicts in the court, and resolve the battle quickly.

Then he listed all his sins carefully. Although there was no evidence, it could stabilize the situation.

But if there is another way, I don’t want to use this method...

Let me think about it again. "

Xu Jian was not surprised when the Holy One said this.

In other words, being rigid and abiding by the rules on some issues is the nature of the Holy One.

If a minister were to rebel today, things would be simpler, but that person is the King of Jin and the elder brother of the Holy One, so the Holy One will inevitably want to be more upright in his actions.

Xu Jian said: "This is a serious matter. I think the Empress Dowager will have a lot to say to you. Prince Ping fell ill, otherwise he would also have come to the palace."

"I want to go to Cining Palace," the Holy Master said and then told Eunuch Cao, "You can go and see the emperor's uncle on my behalf later."

Xu Jian stood up and left.

Eunuch Cao sent them all the way out, with a heavy look on his face.

Xu Jian lowered her voice and said, "It's about the royal family. I can't say too much. It's just Eunuch Cao. I'm really worried."

Eunuch Cao nodded, so he was.

"The surrounding area of ​​the Holy Land seems safe," Xu Jian added, "There are so many people in front and behind, and the food and drink brought to the imperial court have been inspected, but they are used to using poison.

At present, two types have been exposed, one has harmed King Ding, and the other has harmed the man from Yongji Palace.

If there are others, who are also unaware of them, then I really don’t know how to prevent them.

Originally, the man was still planning step by step to catch up from behind and would not attack the Holy One directly. Now that he has changed his tactics, who knows if he will do anything random. "

Eunuch Cao responded repeatedly: "What the Duke said is true."

"The most worrying thing is His Highness," Xu Jian gave a strong dose of medicine, "That dog is the other party's person, and he will suddenly attack His Highness..."

Eunuch Cao's expression became more and more serious.

Xu Jian made it clear and said no more.

There are some things that are hard for him to say, but Eunuch Cao can.

If Eunuch Cao is inconvenient to tell you, the Queen Mother can probably tell you.

That's the case with persuasion. If you can get twice the result with half the effort, you don't have to do it yourself.

When Xu Jian returned to Qianbu Corridor, rumors of Li Jun's death had already spread.

This was inevitable. Shan Shen brought Wu Zuo into Yongji Palace, and Eunuch Cao also showed up. In addition, there were rumors that Prince Ping's palace urgently recruited an imperial doctor. News from all sources gathered together, and some outlines were gradually drawn up.

Li Shao was anxious, either curious or nervous, and his emotions disturbed him so much that he couldn't sit still at all.

I wanted Wang Gouzi to inquire, but I remembered Xu Jian's reminder not long ago, but still didn't speak.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Jian came back, Li Shao couldn't wait to ask more questions.

"Why are you still looking for a coward? Someone died in Yongji Palace? A young eunuch died silently before. This time the battle is so big, who died? It can't be Li Jun himself, right?"

Xu Jian looked at the officials outside who were pretending to be fine but actually wanted to hear the inside story. She made fists with her hands and coughed twice.

With such a straightforward reminder, the officials' faces turned red, and they were too embarrassed to listen to it, so they dispersed one after another.

There was a barking dog standing by the door, neither entering nor retreating.

Xu Jian then said to Li Shao: "The man from Yongji Palace has passed away."

Li Shao's eyes suddenly widened.

He was gloating that something big happened to Yongji Palace, but he really didn't expect that Li Junzhen would die.

why?
Li Jun was still in his prime, and Li Shao went there twice. Not only was Li Jun in good spirits, but he didn't look sick at all. How could such a person die?

"Accident?" Li Shao's throat rolled, and he didn't believe it.

Xu Jian did not say anything clearly: "Master Shan is investigating."

Because of this incident, Li Shao felt sleepy all afternoon.

There were more and more rumors outside, and Wang Gouzi was feeling scared. He had an intuition that Li Jun's death was related to what he asked Eunuch Sun to deliver to his master yesterday.

If this is true, it proves that the news he reported is very important, and this should be his credit. However, Wang Gouzi did not dare to take credit at all. The smell of coming rain made his back feel cold.

After leaving the government office, Xu Jian returned to his mansion.

As soon as the front foot entered the main room, Lin Yunyan also arrived.

She just came back from Cining Palace.

It's not that I deliberately went to inquire about any news. I had planned to enter the palace on this day to accompany the Queen Mother and Concubine Wen in a fight, but I didn't know that I would run into this.

The two exchanged news.

Xu Jian talked about what Shan Shen found in Yongji Palace, and Lin Yunyan talked about the communication between the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor.

"When the Holy One came over, I avoided it and didn't hear what the two of them said," Lin Yunyan said, "but I accompanied the empress later and I could probably guess what she was thinking.

Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, except for the initial period, she has hardly interfered in court affairs, and the harem has been entirely handed over to the imperial concubine.

The empress pays great attention to the degree of doing things, but I think she may go overboard this time. "

Yuezu is not a good word.

It can be used between the Empress Dowager and the Holy Emperor, and it is not a bad word.

The Empress Dowager wanted to take action, not because she did not trust His Majesty. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It was because she understood His Majesty and agreed with the restraint that an emperor must have when dealing with court affairs and household affairs that she took action on his behalf.

She can take the insults.

Xu Jian said: "The more the Empress Dowager is like this, the more the Holy Emperor will understand."

In terms of mutual support and consideration, this pair of mother and son who have no nurturing grace may actually be more important than the foster mother and son of Concubine Dong and Li Du.

"However, after much thought, I still haven't figured out what Li Du wants to do?" Lin Yunyan said, "Bing Xing is not that dangerous. Although he is used to docking his tail, this time his tail must be cut off to the root. ?”

Xu Jian poured her a cup of tea and said: "He was found on the head, and his identity was about to be revealed, so this move was forced. However, his move was indeed unexpected, and Li Jun probably did not expect to be killed.

But he should have a back-up plan, and he must have had his own purpose in killing Li Jun. "

Lin Yunyan nodded: "Anyone who has heard of it sooner knows that Li Jun has passed away. There should be a lot of excitement in the morning tomorrow. Let's see how Li Du makes an attack."

"I hope he will be more eager so that the Holy One can make up his mind." Xu Jian smiled.

When Lin Yunyan heard this, an idea flashed through her mind.

"You're not going anyway, do you want to light a fire?" she asked.

The two discussed it carefully for a few words. After deciding, Xu Jian prepared paper and ink, and Lin Yunyan simply wrote a letter, stamped it with wax, and Xuansu made a trip to send it to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion.

After dinner, they got Lin Yu's reply.

Lin Yu didn't even prepare a note, and only dictated three words: Got it.

The next day.

All the courtiers in the courtroom looked serious and gathered together in twos and threes, whispering and passing news to each other.

Lin Yue didn't go in, but outside in the corridor, he saw Uncle Ren Yuan coming slowly.

The two looked at each other and greeted each other.

As they passed each other, Ren Yuanbo paused slightly and said "Don't worry" in a low voice.

After entering the Jinluan Hall, after a few ordinary words, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Someone asked directly about Yongji Palace.

The Holy Master called out "Shan Aiqing". Shan Shen understood, took a step across and stood in the center of the hall, and spoke expressionlessly.

Everyone listened to his evidence before and after the case, and they obviously regarded Li Jun's death as a homicide. They all looked at each other for a while.

If you say something is wrong, it should be true, and act with reason and evidence.

That's right...

The person who died was Li Jun, a relative of the emperor and the elder brother of the Holy Emperor!

How could it be an ordinary murder case!
On second thought, Ouch! Poison and murder! Even Li Jun dares to kill, who is going crazy? !
Why kill him?
He has been imprisoned by the late emperor for more than ten years!
What happened?

Someone was anxious and asked Shan Shen: "Master Shan, where is the murderer?"

Shan Shen said with a serious look: "Under investigation."

This answer obviously could not calm down the discussion in the hall, but the voice became louder and louder.

Lin Yu looked past the officials and looked forward. Prince Ping reported illness, and the person standing in front was Jin Wang Li Du.

Contrary to what Lin Yue had guessed, Li Du looked very calm. He did not show any anger or sadness. He only nodded or shook his head slightly when the wise king spoke to him.

Is this a sure thing?
Or rather, Li Du had no intention of launching an attack at this time, so he was in no hurry.

Lin Yu looked back and saw Uncle Ren Yuan moving.

Ren Yuanbo coughed twice and said: "That man has lived in Yongji Palace for more than ten years and has always been fine. If you want to poison him, you should not go to him.

The only thing I can think of is Duke Fu.

Your Majesty, Duke Fu Guo was ordered to visit Yongji Palace a few days ago, right?
I don’t know why? "

After asking, Uncle Renyuan did not wait for the Holy One to speak, and continued to talk to himself: "Of course I am not doubting the Holy One. The Holy One will definitely not have any conflict with Yongji Palace. I just want to assist the Duke and His Highness at that time. During the meeting, the words became heated and there was no telling what kind of conflict there was. Mr. Pian Guo did not go to court, and it is not clear whether they started to quarrel as they were talking..."

Halfway through his words, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Uncle Ren Yuan, what do you mean by this?"

Uncle Renyuan followed the sound and saw Uncle An Yi's fierce face.

Even if it looks familiar after seeing it too often, it can't help but be startled.

"Uncle, I have something to say," said Uncle Renyuan.

He had reached a tacit agreement with Cheng Yibo to "stir trouble".

The two of them are similar in age, so it's okay to have a small relationship, but they have different ambitions. He went to court at Dianmao, while Bo Chengyi originally aspired to go to court.

It's a pity that things are unpredictable, and Dingguo Temple was on fire. After that, Bo Zhenyi stopped thinking and lived a simple life in the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, it's all about ordering, and Lin Yue can order it more decently than him.

The only thing he is better than Lin Yu is that he has more children.

If you win with numbers, you lose with ability.

For the most part, he just muddles along, and his children have no ambitions.

The daughter is okay, but Princess Ning'an is outstanding, and no ordinary noble daughter can compare with her.

As for sons, Lin Yu didn't have any biological sons, but his two nephews looked decent. Unlike his two sons, Shan Shen was already Amitabha without being stamped with the stamp of "dandy kid" by Shan Shen.

There was a line of people standing in the square in front of the Qian Palace Gate. It was really embarrassing when he came to receive people.

It was so embarrassing that during the Chinese New Year, he drank wine with Uncle Cheng and poured out his bitterness.

Fortunately, we had a friendship when we were young. Uncle Chengyi asked him for help in private last night, and he agreed after thinking about it.

If his father-in-law's sincerity doesn't worry about getting involved with Duke Fu, what does he have to worry about?
I thought it would be Lin Yu himself who stood up to refute him, but An Yibo couldn't help it.

Just come, it’s the same for everyone.

Uncle Renyuan raised his voice: "Uncle, why don't you tell me why something happened in Yongji Palace?"

An Yibo said coldly: "You're a bit out of breath today. I remember how many mouthfuls of garlic you took a few days ago? It's been five days, right?"

Ren Yuanbo's face turned red.

He was making a show of making trouble, why did he have to be told this in front of all the officials in the Jinluan Palace?
"Why are you bringing up what happened five days ago?" he asked hurriedly.

"It was seven or eight days ago that Duke Fu went to Yongji Palace. Why did you bring him up?" An Yibo asked in return.

Uncle Ren Yuan's face turned redder.

Is this the same thing?
The old man is so old, why do he still talk nonsense?
Uncle Ren Yuan was afraid of him, so he went to ask His Majesty: "Your Majesty, why did Duke Rifu go to Yongji Palace that day?"

His Majesty's eyes were deep.

He knew that the relationship between Lin Yu and Uncle Ren Yuan was quite good, and that Uncle Ren Yuan had never interfered with these matters, so the attack he made today was probably not a real trouble-making.

But he still had lingering fears.

Yes.

Li Du didn't seem to have any tricks, but if he killed Li Jun, how could he not make a fuss?

And those articles will not be as "gentle" as Ren Yuanbo.

Questioning Xu Jian is false, thereby questioning whether he, the king, is true.

It's a good thing that I didn't reach out to Yongji Palace, otherwise, I would have really made a mess.

Xu Jian is right.

time is limited.

Li Du wouldn't give him much time, he could attack him step by step at any time.

The queen mother's meaning yesterday was also very clear. If he couldn't move his hands easily, she would do it for him.

The Holy One took a deep breath.

His mother helped him a lot, how could he let her do this again!
He can order it himself.

The teacher has a good reputation, this time, he gave up first. (End of chapter)
