The questioning ended in silence.

Before leaving, Li Zerang wrote the article "How did the queen know that I had a dagger on my waist?" He Chang'an not only did not punish him, did not interrogate him, and even had an imperial doctor come to treat him.

He Changan: "...???"

The imperial doctor was a young man who didn't know how to restrain his emotions, and looked at He Chang'an from time to time, as if he was looking at something strange.

When the imperial doctor left the prescription and left, there were young eunuchs rushing to decoct the medicine.

For a while, apart from not being able to go out to Chunhua Garden, He Chang'an returned to the standard of being a young master in terms of food and clothing.

Chunhuayuan is a three-entry forest garden. He Changan tried to walk towards the gate, except that he was not allowed to approach the gate, and other places were unimpeded. This made He Changan a little sluggish. It was fine for him to assassinate the emperor. ?

The wrist was healed very well by Chen Chun, and the injury on the arm was healed, only the medicine for healing the body was left, and when the eunuch brought it over, He Changan poured it in one gulp.

When Chen Chun came, He Changan was eating candied fruit, and there were various pastries on the table.

Chen Chun unbelievably picked up a piece of pastry. The pastry was genuine, not fake, nor cold pastry.

He said in disbelief, "You didn't come here to enjoy the blessings, did you? Why are there still people serving you?"

He Changan shook his head, "I wonder too."

Chen Chun became serious, sat aside, and said coldly, "What's the matter with you, after being hit on the head, your temperament changed drastically, not only did people become easy to attack, but you even dared to attack the emperor?"

He Changan ate the candied fruit in his mouth, and suddenly asked jokingly, "Do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

Chen Chun stretched out his head to look carefully at He Changan's face, "Have you been possessed by a ghost?"

Before He Chang'an could say 'yes', Chen Chun sneered and said, "The ghost asked you to assassinate the emperor?"

"The ghost didn't ask me to assassinate the emperor, but it was this upper body ghost that did the act of assassinating the emperor." He Chang'an drank a cup of tea and stretched out his hand to squeeze the pastry.

"However you talk nonsense, if you are a sinner for a day, your mother and sister will be monitored." Chen Chunren said.

"Okay, the emperor ordered you to write...cough, have you finished?" Chen Chun urged.

Before He Chang'an got up, a sensible little eunuch brought the box and held it respectfully with both hands.

The eunuch is so attentive, Chen Chun looked more complicated, "What's going on!"

Involuntary, He Changan shrugged, "Don't ask, I'm afraid I will go to jail after you ask the emperor."

"Hmph, finish the explanation as soon as possible, maybe the emperor will let you live." Having said that, Chen Chun still didn't say much after taking the box.

"Your Majesty, this is the confession recorded by He Chang'an." Chen Chun took out another piece of writing from his arms, "The fourth prince made a piece of writing as usual, and I bought it when I saw it. Do you need to take a look?"

"Throw it away... wait, show me," Li Ze took the calligraphy, unfolded it, and threw it aside, "The recent dozens of calligraphy and painting are all fake, and there are still about [-] calligraphy and paintings lost in the Hou Mansion." , no need to buy any more.”

Li Ze picked up the paper in the box to read, and asked, "Did you ask about Chen Xiong?"

Chen Chun said, "I asked General Chen, and General Chen said that those moves are not rumored, and no one else has learned them except the Emperor and Empress He."

"Could it be that the queen taught him?" Li Ze thought to himself while picking up the article to read.

The article was very straightforward and short. After reading it, Li Ze's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and his face gradually turned red, until it reached his ears. The queen... actually touched my waist while I was asleep?

Li Ze couldn't help but put his hands on his waist, he seemed to be able to figure out how the queen endured her shyness and put her hands on his waist to measure.

Chen Chun: The emperor seems to be smirking?

Chen Chun wasn't interested in what was written on the paper, he said, "Report to the emperor, the Fourth Prince sent someone to look for Mr. He in private, do you still need to protect Mr. He?"

Or surveillance.

"Protect it," Li Ze said, "Always be the queen's friend."

Chen Chun instantly understood the emperor's attitude, "There is one more thing, I am not sure whether it is true or not. I heard that a minister urgently wrote a letter yesterday. During the rainy season, floods in the south were raging. A total of four cities wrote a letter asking for an order to open warehouses and release grain."

Li Ze said, "Where's Zhezi?"

Chen Chun said, "Listen to the minister crying, he wrote the letter again before half a stick of incense, but the zhezi was taken away by Prime Minister Zuo and pressed there."

"Get past him." Li Ze said without hesitation, "If you don't let him go, just break the door."

If you act like this, you will definitely be read a book by the Yushitai, Chen Chun did not hesitate, "I obey the order."

After Chen Chun left, Li Ze called people, "Go and find out what conflicts exist between Prime Minister Zuo and the ministers who wrote to ask for food distribution."

No matter how conflicted, or how to deal with Prime Minister Zuo, they must be ranked behind the flood. Fortunately, the courtiers have a set of coping methods for floods. Come here quickly to discuss."

It wasn't until midnight that Li Ze ordered to send back the elderly Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of War, and at the same time issued a steady stream of orders, so that he had time to read the information sent by the imperial guards.

"If it's really a personal grudge, it's really abominable to disregard human life," Li Ze ordered, "Don't wait for tomorrow, let the criminal department go to the trial tonight to find out the result, how dare you expose such a big matter because of personal grievances and not report it. "

Eunuch Zheng hurriedly said, "Prime Minister Zuo is old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to endure the torture of the Ministry of Penalties."

"If you are old, you should take the initiative to resign from office," Li Ze was not at all sympathetic. At that time, the Tai|Zu respected the literati and ordered not to take the initiative to remove the black hat of officials who have no serious faults. Instead, Prime Minister Zuo took the lead and occupied this position several times to be with the Fourth Prince. If you don't do anything, you are even older than old fried dough sticks.

Eunuch Zheng had no choice but to obey, "May the emperor want to rest?"

"It's time to rest." Li Ze didn't forget to take the box away.

Eunuch Zheng smiled and said, "Should the emperor go back to Hengyuan Hall to rest, or go to Chunhuayuan?"

you still need to ask?Li Ze stared at Zheng Shi's face.

Zheng Shi's heart trembled, "Mr. He is over there..."

Li Ze was in a good mood today, so he asked patiently, "What's wrong with him?"

"Your Majesty, you take Mr. He to live in Chunhua Garden..." Zheng Shi saw that the Emperor's face was getting darker and darker, his voice was getting softer, and the smile on his face was getting stiffer, so he hurriedly knelt down, " It was the servant who was wrong."

Li Ze immediately understood, and gave him a displeased look, "Just be a gentleman, don't be an example."

Li Ze's deep eyes showed no emotion, but Zheng Shi knew that the emperor was angry, Li Ze said, "Although He Chang'an and the queen have the same name, don't make a mistake."

"Yes, it's the slave's fault, the slave slapped his mouth." Zheng Shi slapped himself hard until the car drove away, thinking to himself, let you think about it.

On the second day, He Changan got up from the bed and noticed that the number of eunuchs in the palace had been reduced by half, and the most clever ones were gone, and the cakes on the table were not as fresh as yesterday. up.

But the meal is still eaten, and you can still go out to the courtyard, so He Changan went to the courtyard to see the flowers that bloomed just right, and sat in the gazebo. He called a little eunuch and asked what he wanted to ask yesterday, "Why is it so sunny in this palace?" The heavy yin declines so badly that I, a maid of honor, have never seen it?"

"Not only Mr. He's Chunhuayuan, but also the queen mother is the only maid in the entire harem." The little eunuch said honestly.

Chunhuayuan?The name sounds familiar.

Isn't this the place next to Prince Li Ze's residence, the residence of a concubine?

This concubine was not favored by the former emperor, so she was moved to a corner. He saw it last time when he came here, why did he live here?

When he asked this question, the little eunuch replied slightly, "Why don't you live here? This is the closest place to the emperor's residence. If there are other concubines in the harem, this is a beautiful place."

He Chang'an was choked by the pastry immediately, "That's also a concubine's fight. Do I, a sinner, die fast enough to get closer to the emperor?"

The eunuch immediately knelt down in horror, He Changan asked the eunuch to get up, this is not good in the palace, they violate the palace rules and want to beheaded every now and then.

When the sun was higher, it would be hot in the gazebo. He Changan went back to the house and asked, can I have some ice?As a result, the little eunuch brought back a basin of ice, and he was instantly happy.

After noon, when He Changan was falling asleep, Chen Chun came to the door.

The door of the house was guarded by imperial guards, and the waiters were all driven away. He Changan's head immediately became clear when he heard the first sentence.

"Where did you learn to imitate handwriting?" Chen Chun held a piece of paper in his hand, all of which were unanswered questions.

He Changan replied as naturally as possible, "It is common for students to copy handwriting, but it is rare to copy and write as well as I do."

"I brought all the handwriting you imitated, and there are three copying masters waiting outside. If you don't tell the truth, I will ask the emperor to throw you into a torture prison." Chen Chun threatened.

Then he asked sternly, "Among all your handwriting, Mr. Wen Shi's handwriting is the most similar to that of Empress He, even to the point where I can't tell the difference. Are you related to Mr. Wen Shi?"

"Ask Mr. Shi, I have been friends for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to make friends yet." He Chang'an answered quickly, which was an answer he had already prepared.

"You said that the queen taught you martial arts, when did you start and end, and where did you learn? Or, where did you learn martial arts?" Chen Chun said, "If you can't answer, I can think you It is the inside line of other countries lurking in the imperial city."

How to do how to do?He Changan thought about his spare time in his heart, and found out sadly that before Li Ze was still the prince, he lived and ate with him. After he ascended the throne, Li Ze gave him some guards under the pretext that someone would harm him.

Even Li Ze knew he had a headache and fever in half an hour, not to mention teaching a scholar martial arts, it would take two years! !

"Why can't you tell?" Chen Chun snorted coldly, "Living in the Jin Dynasty since childhood, and receiving the favor of the Jin Dynasty, you actually betrayed the country?"

"Treason? Chen Chun, you are confused. Go and look around me. Who are the people I have been in contact with since I was a child? Is there a suspicious person?" He Changan said angrily.

"Oh, no treason," Chen Chun wrote down on a piece of paper while saying, "The assassin thought the emperor killed the old Hou?"

He Changan responded with difficulty, "Yes."

"You said that the empress liked the emperor, why did you refute it later?" Chen Chun looked at the question that the emperor marked red and aggravated.

"He Chang'an said that he likes the emperor, but because the emperor killed He Chang'an, I think He Chang'an should not like the emperor."

At this time, the imperial guards came in from outside and said something in Chen Chun's ear. Chen Chun was startled, "Has the emperor agreed?"

He Changan couldn't hear what they were talking about, only knew that after a while, several eunuchs came to pack their clothes together, Chen Chunpi congratulated with a half smile, "Teacher wants to see you."

Why did the teacher see him?

He Chang'an was put down at the upper gate of Taifu's residence, the imperial guards withdrew, and a housekeeper welcomed him in.

Taifu Zhao was over sixty years old, with a diorama hanging over his eyes, and sitting on a rattan chair. It was only three years later, but the teacher seemed to have lost his spirit.

Tears welled up in He Chang'an's eyes, and he knelt down, "Cao Min pays homage to Taifu Zhao."

"Stand over here, let me have a look." Taifu Zhao stretched out his hand.

He Changan went over to hold those hands, the old man's palms were covered with brown spots, warm and dry, "Teacher."

Taifu Zhao laughed, "When did you meet Chang'an, kid? I heard him tell you many times, and now I finally meet someone."

Heard it many times?He Chang'an was a little dazed, he didn't have the ability to predict or see, how could he know that he would come back from the dead three years later?

"I heard that you are going to assassinate the emperor, this is not advisable," Zhao Taifu said in a flat tone as if he was ordering a dish at noon, "The Ninth Prince forced Chang'an to death back then. I have also learned a lesson, I heard that you still have a mother and younger sister at home, so don't do stupid things anymore."

The reasoning seems to be right, but why doesn't it sound right to him?

Taifu Zhao stretched out his hand to touch his head, "Chang'an told me back then that he had someone he liked, but the status of the two was not equal, and they couldn't be said to be in the same family, so he didn't mention it. Only now did I realize that it wasn't The status is not equal, but as a man, I have wronged you."

He said this, he likes Li Ze, and he is not equal to Li Ze, and they are both right, but the more He Changan listens, the more confused he becomes, why did he wrong him?He is not wronged.

Taifu Zhao said, "I only heard about you when Chen Chunlai asked about your handwriting. Don't worry, your mother and sister are fine. You and Chang'an are privately destined for life? Chang'an's bones were buried in the imperial mausoleum, but you didn't." There is a way to go to worship again."

A bolt of lightning struck Zhongtian Linggai, and He Changan came to his senses, "I, I didn't make a private life with him, he likes me... oh no, it's not me he likes, it's Li Ze."

Taifu Zhao took off the diorama and sat up straight, "Chang'an told me that he had learned a few tricks from General Chen Xiong and taught them to people he likes. Didn't he teach you?"

"He also taught it to Li Ze." He Changan had a strange expression on his face. Why do other people feel that they like him?

Zhao Taifu's expression was not as gentle as it was at the beginning, "Then how did you learn to imitate handwriting?"

He Chang'an knelt in front of the rattan chair, learning from the pain, "Teacher, do you believe in ghosts and gods? I am Chang'an."

Taifu Zhao was stunned for a moment before he realized it. His wrist trembled and hit the diorama on the table. The glass lens fell to the ground in an instant and made a crisp sound of shattering. He calmed down and asked, "How...how can you prove it?"

He Changan said, "The soup made by my teacher's wife is really salty and salty. I drank water for a whole day after eating the soup made by my teacher's wife."

"Teacher, your private money was hidden in the chair leg that was hollowed out on the desk, and I knocked it down."

Taifu Zhao shook his head lightly, "You can hear all this from Chang'an."

He Changan stopped, and then said, "Teacher, you injured your legs and feet in your early years, and you started to become an official at the age of 30. It is the current queen mother who helped you avoid the step of checking for physical defects. If it were not for the queen mother, you would not be the number one scholar."

"Teacher, you make good use of imitating handwriting. You also corrected the imperial edict left by the late emperor."

"You...you...know..." Taifu Zhao burst into tears after being horrified, "what...what's the matter with you child?"

He Chang'an said, "Teacher, I woke up after drinking the poisoned wine, and it became like this."

Mrs. Zhao Taifu's wife left early. When he taught the prince to send a companion, he had no children, but he raised the child as his own. Later, it was reported that one of his students killed another student.

Now he only wanted to let the students who died young feel at ease in the underground, but accidentally saved Chang'an, Taifu Zhao couldn't help crying, "The next day after you went, Li Ze killed that old man Zhou Tong, The remnants of the Ninth Prince's party have been wiped out completely, don't be afraid."

By now, He Changan was able to deal with it calmly and comforted the teacher. He said, "Teacher, I violated what you said at the beginning. I imitated your handwriting and sold it."

Taifu Zhao was very fond of the lost and found student, "If it wasn't so similar to my handwriting, Chen Chun wouldn't have asked me about it, you didn't do anything wrong."

The two hadn't seen each other for three years, and they had endless conversations. At noon, Taifu Zhao called the housekeeper, "Prepare an extra pair of chopsticks, and Chang'an will eat together."

The butler has been running the house for decades, so he naturally knew that there was a student named Chang'an before the Tai Tuo. When he heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he replied, "Yes."

After the two had dinner, Taifu Zhao pulled him into the study and asked, "What are your future plans?"

He Chang'an knelt down and said firmly, "Teacher, forgive the student for not being able to stay with you in the capital. The body of the student has a mother and a younger sister. The student must fulfill the responsibilities of a son and brother for them."

"Then you and the emperor..." Zhao Taifu didn't know how to say this, "Who is the person you like?"

He Chang'an smiled helplessly, "At that time, the student said that the person he liked was the emperor." He did not expect such an oolong to appear many years later.

"Do you know that you have become a queen?" Zhao Taifu sighed, it is really not a random word.

"The student knows, but that's He Changan from the Hou Mansion, He Changan who grew up with Li Ze, and the student is He Changan, a scholar." He Changan smiled and shook his head, never being 'killed' by Li Ze with a glass of poisoned wine, Now that the problem is solved, he only feels relaxed.

"And Chen Chun said that the student's current hometown is in Chongping County, Shaanxi, and the student will find opportunities to meet his parents and eldest brother." He Changan said calmly, "Li Ze... is the emperor, and there will be no relationship with the student in the future." Anything to do with it."

Taifu Zhao opened his mouth to speak but stopped, "You... just decide, then you have to hide it."

"There's no need to hide it, and no one will guess the resurrection of the dead." He Chang said with peace of mind that they will never see each other again.

"But Li Ze directly made you the queen because of guilt, if he finds out that you are Chang'an..." Taifu Zhao felt that there were some words that were difficult to say, "There is no guarantee that he will do something uncontrollable."

"The students had already left the capital at that time." He Changan comforted the Grand Tutor, "Teacher, don't worry."

When Chen Chun was summoned, the atmosphere in the hall was terribly oppressive, and the eunuchs waiting around tremblingly invited him in.

Before going in, he took a look at the imperial guard guarding the door. He had seen this man several times but he was familiar with him. He seemed to be the leader of the hidden part, called Yinwei.

It's not under Chen Chun's control, but Chen Chun can also get a glimpse of it. These people are the people who supervise the officials in the capital.

Thinking of this, when Chen Chun entered the door, the eyes of the emperor in the hall moved over instantly, and looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to see every detail clearly, which made Chen Chun shudder.

Chen Chun respectfully saluted as usual, "My minister pays homage to the emperor."

Li Ze didn't speak, and the dim candles in the hall were flickering, just like Chen Chun's uneasy heart at the moment.

The last time he was scrutinized by the emperor was when the new emperor ascended the throne. At that time, the emperor had conflicts with the queen who was still the young prince. The emperor cleaned up the relationship around the young prince.

Almost every friend of the queen went to the queen, and all the news of that friend that night would be passed on to the emperor through Chen Chun's hands. Then one day, Chen Chun scanned his name on the table where the emperor was handling official business.

That's how the emperor saw him that day.

I just don't know why this time.

Li Ze's cold voice sounded in the palace, "Chen Chun, someone will send a letter to your home later, you will stay in the palace tonight."

Chen Chun was taken away in a daze. He glanced at the eight Imperial Guards who were supposed to "send him" but were in custody. He thought to himself, is Laozi the leader of the Imperial Guards?

Forget it, although he doesn't do the work of the head of the Janissaries, he still gets the salary of the head of the Janissaries.

Zheng Shi watched Master Chen being sent away, and went into the hall biting the bullet, "Your Majesty, do you need some food?"

After a long while without a response, Zheng Shi was about to retreat when Li Ze suddenly said, "What do you think of that Mr. He you met a few days ago?"

Zheng Shi thought about it and replied, "In my humble opinion, that gentleman's handwriting can be used by Mr. Chen, so it can be seen that his handwriting is very good. During the few days when he lived in Chunhuayuan, he had a gentle temperament. Hearing from the imperial doctor , Mr. He's arm was injured to protect his family, which shows that Mr. He has a really good temperament, virtuous and talented."

"I'm used to fooling people," Li Ze sneered, these words were all said by others, none of them were his own.

Seeing the smile on the emperor's face, Zheng Shi smiled shyly and said, "This servant has never had any contact with Mr. He."

Li Ze got up, and used the white chalcedony paperweight to press down the paper in his hand. Three pages were full of information from the hidden guard. His voice was low and hoarse: "Come here."

On the day when he sent Yinwei to protect the Taifu, he would never have thought that today would catch him off guard to such news.

After making up his mind to order to go on, the leaders of the two hermit guards led the order to go out.

The two teams of imperial guards who had already prepared were waiting outside the hall in silver armor. When they heard the order from the leader, they all responded and went out. The atmosphere inside and outside the hall suddenly became chilling.
