I'm a detective for Dongchang

Since Miao Wanhuo was sick in the palace, Yuan Yanxi asked Miao Xiaowu to carefully examine Lu Xizhi's injuries. After the diagnosis was all right, he couldn't hold back his wife, so he still let her go to the summer resort according to the original plan.

As soon as we set off again, the horse galloped until midnight. When we were about to reach the destination, there was a light rain in the sky. In the early morning, the rain gradually increased. Looking around, the original green mountains and green waters are gray at this moment. In the misty area, the sparse green trees spit out their pistils, and the spring rain promotes the change of seasons, gradually peeling off the bleakness of winter.

It is said that the climate in the mountains is unpredictable, and the mountains outside the mountains are different everywhere. Although the mountains where the Summer Resort is located are not towering into the clouds, they can stretch for hundreds of miles. At first, they were dry and had little vegetation. Only the man-made official roads are eye-catching and meandering in the mountains.Riding a horse is fast, but when you get to a steep place, you still have to get down and lead the horse. The climate in the mountain is changeable. At first it was only foggy, and after a while, it was completely white. After a while, it suddenly rained heavily, which caught the team by surprise .

Lu Xizhi was shocked by the cold rain, and just realized that he was not like a veteran soldier who could turn a blind eye to the heavy rain. He watched the big raindrops hit the leaves and fell one after another, and he was soaked in the blink of an eye.

Beixue stopped suddenly, and turned to look at Lu Xizhi who was on the horse, "Ma'am, we will arrive at the villa in half an hour. It will rain too much. You are not as rough as us. It happens that this place is open. Why don't you stop the army and wait for the rain?" It’s not too late to go after stopping.”

Lu Xizhi raised his head to feel the rain and nodded.After ordering to set up camp in place, Yuan Yanxi assigned more than 100 people to quickly start division of labor: setting up canopies and pulling curtains, and the logistics staff began to light fires and cook meals.

It was still a bit chilly early in the morning, and Lu Xizhi felt the coolness pouring into her clothes when she stopped exercising, and with some rain, she had to shrink her hands and nestle into the only carriage that arrived just now , This is what Yuan Yanxi forcibly requested, otherwise she would not be allowed to leave. At this moment, Lu Xizhi really thanked him for his foresight.

After a while, Beixue found a stove for her from nowhere, and lit a small stove at the four corners of the carriage. Sitting like this, she felt warm.Such warmth made her unconsciously recall the days when she was doing investigations outside, but the past seemed to rise with the green smoke from the stove, and she could never find it again.

"Ma'am, take off your wet clothes quickly, and let your subordinates dry them, so as not to catch a cold. When you go back, the master will blame you. We won't be able to eat and walk away." Beixue half-jokingly.

Lu Xizhi nodded, took off his coat, and took the thin blanket from Beixue, "Beixue, everyone has worked hard this journey, just say what I said, you have already arrived here, so you are not in a hurry, and you are not afraid of those people Let the big guys eat well, leave enough people to stand guard, and rest all rest, and follow me up the mountain before noon."

Bei Xue replied yes, and just as she backed out, Lu Xizhi grabbed her arm again.

"Beixue, they didn't follow?"

"Ma'am, don't worry, Xifeng has the sharpest ears among the few of us, and no slightest disturbance can escape his surveillance."

Only then did Lu Xizhi feel relieved and planned to have a good sleep.

********
"Teacher." With Lu Shun's support, Qi Tianyin walked slowly outside the house.

The weather in May is pleasant, the flowers in the garden are charming, the bees are buzzing, and the cool breeze is blowing, but at the moment when it should be refreshing, it is suffering from inner torment.

"Your Majesty, you have been out for a while, go back to the house and rest." Jiang Heng worried.

"If I sit down again, this world... will probably change."

Jiang Heng weighed some more in his heart, but the words came to the point of his mouth, and he swallowed them.

"They are all forcing me to abdicate."

"Your Majesty has dedicated his whole life to Jin, and he has expanded the territory of the country by a hundred miles to the west. The people live and work in peace and contentment. They support and love you, and the number of refugees is decreasing year by year." Jiang Heng carefully worded his words, "It is precisely because of this that the consumption of With the energy of His Majesty's body, the old minister knows that His Majesty cares about the people and the country, but His Majesty must think about the dragon's body now."

Yes, he is already at this age. Rights are beautiful, but his body is also very important. In the first half of his life, he has worked hard for Da Jin. Why can't he rest in the second half of his life?It was at this moment that Emperor Taihe was slightly shaken in his heart.He is a promising king, he should be a king with an open mind and a broad vision.He has to be able to afford power and let go of power, so that he will not indulge in power and affect his life as a king.

The condition of abdication is smeared in my heart, and I probably have to add another sentence, the relatives should not be too strong, otherwise it will be another Chang family!In this way, he would not have so many ambitions when he was still a prince.

This condition seems to be very specific and has been pointed out, but...

Emperor Taihe felt a pain in his heart.

"Is there any news from the Beacon Pavilion?"

Jiang Heng looked around, and Lu Shun nodded, indicating that the surrounding area was safe.

"The Beacon Pavilion found out that when General Xiao Nansheng fell to the bottom of the cliff, Chang Chonghu sent more than a dozen waves of troops to search for his body. However, the reason why those people returned without success was because someone did save the general. Spy In return, they finally found the woman who saw the rescuer with her own eyes recently."

"Where is she? Did you ask?" Qi Tianyin was anxious, and couldn't help coughing, his breath was not steady.

Lu Shun and Jiang Heng stepped forward quickly, they helped Qi Tianyin to the soft chair, and handed them soothing tea.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The old minister has already asked. She said that she did see two people coming out of the cave at the bottom of the cliff. One of them was almost dragging and supporting the other. He seemed to be seriously injured and covered in blood. I don't know whether it's life or death. She wanted to go forward to help, but during that time, the officers and soldiers sent by Chang Chonghu were searching everywhere, and she was afraid of getting into trouble, so she left quietly."

"She can clearly see that there are only two people? Are they male or female? Xiao Nansheng is Da Jin's god of war, everyone knows everyone, so does the woman recognize it?"

Jiang Heng shook his head regretfully, "Both of them covered their faces, and the woman couldn't see each other's appearance and gender clearly. She only knew that the injured man was tall and tall, and the man who supported him seemed to be struggling and was relatively short. a lot of."

"That's right, Xiao Nansheng is so powerful, it must not be so easy to die. Since he is not dead, there must be news about Mo'er!" Qi Tianyin stood up excitedly, his eyes sparkled with hope, shining brightly.

"Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord, the genius doctor said that His Majesty's current body cannot withstand great joy and sorrow, Your Majesty quickly drink the soothing decoction." Lu Shun anxiously held the medicine bowl, chasing after Qi Tianyin.

Jiang Hengsheng was afraid that Qi Tianyin's heart would be disturbed because of this great joy, so he tried his best to keep his tone steady, and said in a deep and slow voice: "Your Majesty, you forgot that the skeleton that Fenghuo Pavilion found in Cangzhou ten years ago was exactly Xiao Xiao's skeleton." General."

Qi Tianyin was taken aback for a moment, then he froze in place.

That's right, that's right... Xiao Nansheng has died for more than ten years. This conclusion is the result of the experiment by Zhang Yu and Zhang Wu, who were famous all over the world back then.

Thinking of this, the hope that had just risen in his heart suddenly turned into ashes, like a broken teapot, Qi Tianyin's tall body slumped, and he collapsed into the soft chair, his face pale.

"Miraculous doctor, miraculous doctor! Quickly call the miraculous doctor!" Lu Shun yelled in fright.

Miao Wanhuo ran over cursing, his appearance did not make people feel nervous and fearful when facing the emperor of the world.

"Get out of the way, the chattering is so loud."

These days, everyone is used to the acting style of this eccentric genius doctor. No one thinks there is anything wrong with what he said, even the emperor let him go.

Everyone stepped back three steps, and asked Miao Wanhuo to carefully feel the emperor's pulse.

"This is in a hurry, and I don't take what I said to heart." Miao Wan said angrily.Ask someone to bring a pen and paper, quickly write a few lines, and throw it to Lu Shun: "Quickly ask someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, and then follow my instructions to decoct the medicine."

"Help Your Majesty back, rest in bed, don't be alarmed."

Jiang Heng also followed back to the imperial study. The emperor specially summoned him into the palace today, and he would never dare to leave without the emperor's order.

really…

After a stick of incense, Jiang Heng was called into the dormitory amid Miao Wanhuo's fiery scolding.

"Your Majesty, the villain is studying medicine to save people. Your Majesty's current body is not suitable for receiving guests, and you should not have a mentality of ups and downs. Otherwise, it will not benefit your body at all, and it may even..." Miao Wan Huo finally gave Qi Tianyin a piece of 'thin noodles'.

"Thank you for the genius doctor, I understand." Qi Tianyin waved his hand, "Lu Shun, please go to the side hall to rest first."

Miao Wanhuo shook his head, sighed, and went out with Lu Shun.

"Teacher, you come forward."

Jiang Heng stepped forward, followed Qi Tianyin's gesture, and sat on the stool beside the bed.

"I have always believed that Mo'er is not dead."

"My Jing'an is so smart and cautious in doing things. Back then, when she risked her life to send Mo'er out of the palace, she must have arranged all the escape routes and Mo'er's future destination. She must not believe it, the Xiao family The God of War who is indomitable will die easily."

"Cough cough cough..." Qi Tianyin covered his mouth and coughed suppressedly.

Jiang Heng got up and poured a cup of tea, and carefully served him to drink it.

"After Xiao Nansheng disappeared, the only tiger talisman also disappeared. At first, I suspected that it was hidden by Chang Chonghu, and I would take it out when he was about to raise an army to rebel, so as to command the Xiao family army stationed at the border. However, judging from the fact that he sent people back and forth secretly between Jingzhou and Yuncang Mountain dozens of times, and even in the next ten years, he did not find the tiger talisman. He didn't find any trace."

"This also gives me infinite hope, my Mo'er is still alive in this world." Qi Tianyin looked out of the window, as if through the air, he saw the beautiful face that had haunted him for more than ten years.

"The Fenghuo Pavilion's forces are all over every corner of Dajin. I can't find out, and neither can Chang Chonghu..." Qi Tianyin smiled wryly: "This is Mo'er hiding from me on purpose. He hates me, and I killed him to worship him." Uncle, killed his beloved mother..." Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two lines of clear tears, mixed with infinite remorse, slowly flowed down Qi Tianyin's wrinkled cheeks.

"I think so much. Even if he... appears in front of me with hatred, even if he wants to kill me, I am willing to do so. I just ask God to allow me to meet Mo'er."

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." Jiang Heng took a deep breath: "The fifth prince was smart and alert since he was a child, and the old officials didn't believe that he was dead. The emperor should take good care of his body for the sake of the fifth prince."

Qi Tianyin didn't seem to hear it, and continued to say what he said just now: "Yes, Mo'er is such a smart child, not only smart, but also like his mother, he hates evil like a vengeful enemy. I still remember that at that time, I had to deal with a court case. In the case of official corruption, there was a small official who took advantage of his position to make huge profits for his relatives, and his fellow clan members did evil on one side. After he was investigated and dealt with, I punished his nine clans, praised by all officials, and praised by the common people..." Qi Tianyin recalled that scene , the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: "Not long after, I told the princes about this matter, and hoped that they would establish themselves as members of the royal family from an early age, with the world in mind, and the principles of governing the country well. I never thought Only that kid, Mo'er, asked me after listening to it: Where did all the ill-gotten gains from corruption go?"

Jiang Heng seemed to remember the past, and laughed too.

"I told him that all the stolen money will naturally be turned over to the state treasury."

"Does the teacher remember what he said?"

Jiang Heng nodded: "The fifth prince said something: why don't you return those money and things to the people who were bullied and killed by him?"

"Haha, yes. He did remind me that as the king of a country, the most basic thing is to put the people first and care about the people."

"The fifth prince's heart is for the common people in the world. It's really my great fortune."

"Unfortunately, I pushed the child out with my own hands, I... regret it..."

Jiang Heng bowed his head and remained silent. The conspiracy back then came suddenly. Neither he nor the emperor expected that Chang Chonghu would collude with the generals of the Xiao family army to jointly frame him, leaving them no time to react, and Xiao Nansheng was also a staunch and tough guy. I chose to show my will by death.

a sigh...

"To tell you the truth, teacher, I... in my heart, apart from a few princes... I can see a little shadow of that child from an outsider."

"The emperor is talking about the second boy of the Yuan family." Jiang Heng knew it right away.

"I've also heard that there are people here and outside. Because of my heavy use, it is rumored that Jingming is Mo'er."

The more the emperor talked, the more he couldn't stop, this kind of thing was too serious, Jiang Heng even felt that the emperor should not ask anyone to listen, now he knows the No.1 of the emperor's mind.But fear is one thing. Hearing Jiang Heng's words, Qi Tianyin almost understood that there is no prince who can win the emperor's heart. If he becomes a prince, the emperor is not satisfied with them.He wanted to find the lost son in the last days, and it was the fifth prince who really wanted to pass on the throne.

"The emperor wants to..." He hesitated to express the guess in his mind.

"That's right, this time I want you to reorganize all the clues you have investigated before, from beginning to end, including the reason why Marquis Zhenyuan suddenly appeared in Jingzhou, and... Is there a crescent moon on Jingming's back? mark."

"Your Majesty, these are rumors..."

"Teacher, do you think that even the common people can tell that the well-known Young Master of the Yuan Mansion looks a lot like the royal family? Don't those officials and ministers, including me, not the people in the palace?"

"That's because they dare not say it, but they have doubts in their hearts. In addition, the rumors intensified, and the small thoughts of the queen and the Chang family could no longer be hidden. They even started to win over Heng'er and even wanted to kill him." His mother and concubine Wei Ruxia."

"These signs show that they also believe in the fact that the fifth prince is still alive, and they feel that the fifth prince is nearby, threatening them to carry out the plan they have finally made so far, so this time, I will be ahead of them. One step faster. Since they are sure that Mo'er is still alive, then I will give them a push, Chang Chonghu will give it a try if they want to be the emperor who listens to the government behind the curtain."

Emperor Taihe had an advantage, that is, he would do what he said, and he would implement it when he thought of it. So the next day, before everyone took turns urging him to establish a reserve, Qi Tianyin himself jumped out and said that he wanted to establish a reserve.

"You dear ones are quite worried. If a crown prince is not established for a day, the foundation of the country will be easily shaken..." He said a lot, and finally concluded: "I want to give the princes an equal opportunity. After a period of time, it will depend on their own abilities. Just... just two months later, the candidate for the crown prince will be decided!"

Then, he arranged a few tasks for the former princes, as if he was about to start his investigation.

This happened so suddenly that the ministers were a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, Chang Chonghu had a solemn expression, and the courtiers who followed him to support the second prince were also a little confused.

Everyone is wondering whether His Majesty is really going to establish a crown prince, or is he fishing for a big fish with a long line, throwing out the bait to see who is the "filial son and grandson" and who is the "Jijiyingying" person. What should this task be? How to complete it, to what extent, and to what extent?
No one knows, they can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

Only Yuan Yanxi was in the court hall, listening to His Majesty's words, the old god was at ease.

Only when Miao Wanhuo came to discuss the emperor's illness with him, he smiled and said to him: "Stinky boy, you have a deep heart, so you don't need to stand in the void and keep it out of the way?"

"I don't know yet, you are also a talkative person."

Miao Wanhuo: "It's just that I suddenly feel that you look like His Majesty."

……

Of course, Yuan Yanxi also asked herself, do you want that position?

Not necessarily in the past, but now, it is certain, as long as there is a person who has pursuit, who would not want to sit in that position?
Since he was a child, he has been squeezed out by his brothers and sisters, but he is often forced to listen to everyone saying, what about the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, everyone is honorable, he is from a good background, but the brothers are not on good terms.

Each of them is Qi Tianyin's son, there is no difference in terms of status.

But the enmity between the family later made him unable to let go so much, and made him restrain himself and hibernate. With a new identity, he maintained a calm posture. It seemed that he didn't want anything, but only he knew that he had always been Waiting.

Waiting for revenge, waiting for Qi Tianyin to grow old, waiting for the day when the Chang family will be pulled off the horse with his own hands and kneel at his feet.

And this day is not far away.

The Li Chu turmoil gradually rolled up, and the singing stages of the princes of various families also set up.

It is not easy to enter the officialdom and do things. The second prince and the third prince form various cliques. The fourth prince is still solid in doing things, but he is indecisive. The emperor is quite satisfied with what the sixth prince does.

Early in the morning, the four princes reported their views and opinions on the Jiangbei flood in the imperial study.

Lu Shun's shrill voice came from outside the door: "East Factory Lu Ji is here."

What about Lu Ji?
Qi Yuheng was the first to react, Lu Xizhi?
"Quickly pass it on." Qi Tianyin said with surprise in his tone.

Lu Xizhi's body was visible to the naked eye, and he knelt down without raising his head:

"Report to the emperor, I found this thing at the place where King Cheng was murdered." After speaking, he spread his palms, and the object in his palm suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Qi Yuke was shocked!
