After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 277 MI[-] Part [-]

Imperial City Division.

Under the crooked neck tree.

Li Chenan and Changsun Jinghong had a simple lunch together.

Changsun Jinghong didn't talk about the possible changes in the court situation, but told some stories about the past.

For example, Queen Lu's literary talent is extremely high, and she studied under Mr. Chunfu for three years.

He is a classmate with the current emperor.

For example, Princess Yun'an's martial arts is extremely high!
Her teacher is Zhang Sun Jinghong!

For example, Qiao Zitong, the county magistrate, has no great background, but is just a poor scholar.

In the spring of the first year of Zhaohua, it was extremely cold in the late spring of that year.

Qiao Zitong went to Kyoto to participate in Enke that year, and stayed at Wenchang Temple, but he almost froze to death.

Princess Yunan happened to meet Queen Lu when she went to Wenchang Temple to offer incense, so she rescued Qiao Zitong.

That year, Enke was the champion of Qiao Zitong High School.

Princess Yun'an was overjoyed, and begged the emperor for an order to recruit Qiao Zitong as the county horse. Qiao Zitong was probably grateful for the life-saving grace of Princess Yun'an, so he gave up being an official in the court and married Princess Yun'an in Meiyuan.

It was the second year of Zhaohua.

Chang Sun Jinghong seems to be really old.

He rambled on a lot, and didn't need any response from Li Chenan, it seemed that he just needed such a listener.

When it came to the third year of Zhaohua, he stopped talking.

"Well, it's been a long time since I said so much, my mouth is sore."

"Go..."

He stood up and lay down on the rocking chair again, looking at the fragmented sunlight divided by the leaves of the big-leaf banyan tree.

"Go and see the seven good students."

"If, if you feel unwell, come out and get used to it slowly."

Li Chen'an got up and bowed his hands: "Could it be really the Palace of the King of Hell?"

Changsun Jinghong grinned and waved his hands, Wang Zhengjinzhong also looked at Li Chenan's back and smiled knowingly, and he led Li Chenan to the seventh place.

……

……

The Imperial City Division occupies a huge area!
Walking all the way to the southeast from this crooked neck tree, Li Chen'an saw many houses hidden in the forest.

Black roads, black walls, black tiles, black doors and black windows.

Except for the occasional light yellow osmanthus flowers on the osmanthus trees, besides black, Li Chenan has not seen any more beautiful colors.

Such an environment can be described as solemn.

But in fact it feels extremely depressing.

"Why does it have to be so dark?"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong thought for a while, "This question is probably asked by everyone who enters the Imperial City Division."

"Actually, I heard from Mr. Changsun that it wasn't like this when the Imperial City Division was rebuilt 20 years ago."

"Empress Lu likes to be more flamboyant, and thinks that although the Imperial City Secretary used to do things that were not visible to the public, it is best to stand in the sun now."

"So at that time, many flowers and plants were planted here, and most of these houses were made of blue bricks and green tiles."

Li Chenan was slightly taken aback, looking around, it was hard to find the trace of the past that Wang Zhengjinzhong said.

"What happened next?"

Wang Zhengjinzhong stood beside a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, "Of course it was the incident in the third year of Zhaohua!"

"Your Excellency was very angry when Lu Zhanxiao's family was wiped out when we got on the bus."

"He wanted to do something at that time, but was dissuaded by Queen Lu, so he endured it."

"But in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, when you were only a few months old, Empress Lu hanged herself and died. You are nowhere to be found!"

hang?

This word caught Li Chenan's attention.

"This time completely angered the adults!"

He leaned over and whispered in Li Chen'an's ear: "My lord had a big fight with the emperor, and then he brought seven people from the Imperial City Department who are in the capital...there are thousands of people!"

"My lord brought these more than a thousand people, and cut off the heads of many people that night!"

"There are high officials in the court, there are court ladies and eunuchs in the harem, and there are also Qianniuwei soldiers who guarded the palace at that time..."

"At that time, my subordinate was just a small spy in the Seventh Office, and I was honored to participate."

Wang Zhengjinzhong pointed to a small dark building opposite, and said:

"The black, it's not all lacquer, but... mixed with the blood of those people!"

"My lord said, take this as a condolence."

"My lord also said...it is better for the Imperial City Secretary to walk in the dark, and in the sun...no one will be afraid!"

Li Chenan was startled suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, "...how many people do we have to kill?"

Wang Zhengjinzhong continued to walk forward, "Not many, only a thousand or eight hundred."

"How come I haven't heard of such a big event?"

"Because the emperor suppressed this matter... that night, the capital was on fire, and many mansions were burned. Of course, those mansions are actually empty, and the corpses were brought here. Later, the people were told that it was bandits who made trouble."

"The Jingzhao Mansion arrested many people in the rivers and lakes, chopped them up indiscriminately, and the matter ended indiscriminately."

"Since you are now the vice-president of the Imperial City Division, you will know these things sooner or later."

"Ji Tai, this old bastard, officially came to power after that bloodbath."

"My lord Changsun led the people from the Seven Departments that night, and slaughtered the retired Prime Minister Liang... It can't be said that he was full of people. After checking later, he still ran away a few."

Li Chen'an pondered for a moment, then asked: "I heard that behind the incident in the third year of Zhaohua was a trick set up by a man named Xi Wei?"

"Well, that guy is the mastermind, and the Imperial City Secretary has been looking for him all these years... My lord said that I'm afraid there will be some clues in these two days."

"Caught him by the tail?"

Wang Zhengjinzhong shook his head, "You are the one who vomited blood from Ji Tai today. My lord said that Ji Tai will definitely seek advice from Xi Wei, because the time left for Ji Tai is running out."

"That's why the first military situation has been dispatched in full force today, and the Xiangfu's ten-mile radius is under surveillance."

"If someone really goes to the prime minister's mansion, I'm afraid they can really wait to catch that old fellow Xi Wei."

Turning around a pitch-black courtyard wall covered with withered vines, Wang Zheng Jinzhong stopped in his tracks.

Li Chenan raised his head, and suddenly heard heart-piercing screams and crying and begging for mercy coming from inside.

Wang Zhengjinzhong shook his head, "Your Excellency has always said that interrogation of prisoners should cause such a big battle. Did these bastards forget again?"

He pushed open the half-hidden door.

On the lintel is a plaque the size of a palm.

There are seven words written on the plaque.

He followed Wang Zheng Jinzhong into it, and what came to his face was a strong smell of blood.

This is a square yard.

In the courtyard, five people were stripped of their clothes and hung on the cross with blood dripping all over their bodies. One person on the left was holding a leather whip, and the other person on the right was holding a butcher's knife.

There is one more person ahead.

He was sitting on a chair with a roast chicken in his hand.

There is also a jug of wine next to it!

While eating chicken and drinking, he said slowly, "Now that you think about it, you want to recruit?"

"late!"

"Skinned them!"

"I heard that our Imperial City Department has a new Mr. Li, who can sew a thick human fur coat by peeling off a hundred skins!"

"Leave it to the commander-in-chief to give to Mr. Li. I guess we will have more work in the seven offices in the future!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly raised his head, and those small eyes suddenly opened wide.

He stood up from that chair all by himself, with a chicken in his left hand and a jar of wine in his right, and ran towards Wang Zheng Jinzhong in a frantic manner.

His oily mouth grinned:
"Commander, please eat chicken!"
