Omi had to sit up

Chapter 180 Finding Someone

The shadow of the moon in the night sky was incomplete, and on the other side, someone looked up and looked into the distance, and the bright white moon was also reflected in the deep and quiet pupils.

In the deep palace, the lights are endless.

The news of Jingninghou's assassination and death has spread in Beijing.There was an uproar in Beijing, and everyone was shocked by the truth of the news. Unexpectedly, the person in the palace also disappeared from everyone's sight.Lin Chenshu has a close relationship with him, and he is also a powerful official who was single-handedly promoted by him. Before that, when he dismissed important officials in the court for Lin Chenshu, many people had already speculated. Now that Lin Chenshu died and he disappeared, this A series of things happened suddenly, but it made people more convinced that the speculation about the relationship between the two was not groundless.

No one knew where the emperor had gone, and the corpse of Marquis Jing Ning disappeared at the same time as Xie Zhen.

There is no one to preside over the government affairs in Beijing and China, and the courtiers are like ants in a hot pot. They are so anxious that they don't know what to do. They just watch the days go by and the affairs of the court are put on hold again and again. Only Gong Changqin and other cronies around the emperor try their best to maintain it. Only then did the fear of the courtiers in the court be suppressed so that the order would not fall into complete chaos.

In the past, Xie Zhen would leave the capital too, but every time before leaving, he would arrange follow-up matters. Only this time the emperor disappeared suddenly. Gong Changqin only saw the back of him holding Lin Chenshu's body in Luoyanggang, and then So far, he has lost his whereabouts and has never been able to contact the other party.

He and He Wence had no choice but to secretly send Tingwei and people from Changfeng Villa to search for it, but they still had no news from the emperor. On the contrary, several waves of veterans who had been suppressed by Xie Zhen before began to faintly interfere in the government affairs, which made the two of them I'm so busy.

Everyone felt that the Li Dynasty was about to repeat the mistakes of the auxiliary regents. When Gong Changqin and others began to despair, a cold and stern young man with a long sword in his hand passed through the palace gate of the capital and returned to the main hall. The dragon head slowly sat down on the big chair, his eyes swept across the ministers facing down.

He didn't say a word, but abruptly interrupted the thoughts of many courtiers who were just about to move, and made those veterans who had been dealt with shrink back again.

On the tenth day after Lin Chenshu's death, Xie Zhen, who had disappeared, reappeared in everyone's sight.

No one will be seated next to the dragon chair anymore, his methods are tougher than before, and all matters are completely attributed to him to deal with and give orders.He stared coldly, obviously only wearing ordinary black clothes, but Long Zi looked up more and more. He only heard Gong Changqin mention the reason of the past ten days, and directly dealt with the courtiers who had dissatisfaction during this period. The methods have changed from the previous demotion and demotion to punishment, confiscation, and exile, which made the ministers feel suspicious, and they were silent like cicadas, daring not to speak out.

Since Xie Zhen was furious because of Lin Chenshu's incident last time and dealt with important officials in the court in one go, all the officials felt faintly that as long as Jing Ninghou was not around, the temper of this person on the stage would become extremely ruthless. With Lin Chenshu coordinating political affairs in front, Xie Zhen might completely become the most terrifying existence in the court.

He didn't mention Lin Chenshu's death, and no one dared to mention Lin Chenshu's death without authorization. In addition, Lin Chenshu's body has never been found, so the funeral for Jing Ninghou has been delayed. After a long delay, there was still no movement or sound of water after a month.

This month, the government pressure in the Li Dynasty was low, but there was news from Di Yi in the north of the Li Kingdom that Wu Yanpo, the ninth prince of the former King Di Yi, had beheaded the second prince of the last Di Yi.One year after the death of King Di Yi, Wu Yanbo ascended to the new throne and completely unified the kingdom outside Beiguan.

Wei Yunchang had previously calculated that Wu Yanpo was a "greedy wolf" and a disaster for the royal family. This year, this greedy wolf really bloodbathed the heirs of the former King Diyi, leaving none behind.

Di Yi's domestic reunification, fearing that the new King Di Yi would destroy the reconciliation treaty between the two sides, Beiguan will once again enter a state of preparation for war.But Wu Yanpo didn't mean to tear up the treaty. Instead, he paid a lot of things to the Li country according to the treaty signed with Lin Chenshu, and a heavy box was escorted all the way from the border to the capital.

The box is long and simple in appearance. At this time, the golden edging is reflecting the light under the moonlight.

The figure in Xuanyi stared at the moonlight in the distance for a long time, and just now he looked down at the box placed in front of him, stretched out his hand to flick the lock, and slowly opened the lid of the box.

A black black iron embryo is lying quietly between the black flannel of the box.The embryo was wiped very clean, leaving no trace of blood or damage.

This is Chen Shu's usual weapon.When cracking the life-and-death formation outside Yubei Pass, the young man from another world accidentally left on the battlefield to save him, but Wu Yanpo found it again and sent him back.

Along with it, there was also a wooden dagger that he gave him back then, and it was quietly placed beside the black iron embryo.

Xie Zhen looked at the wooden handle, and raised his hand to brush the blade of the wooden dagger.

He looked calm, but his eyes kept flickering like water, as if he was staring at the things in front of him, but the focus had been scattered by the water.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up outside the palace wall, and the wooden dagger seemed to be trembling slightly.

Xie Zhen's hand stopped suddenly, his drooping eyebrows suddenly became serious again, his eyelashes slowly raised, and slowly fell on the tree outside the imperial study.

He had a cold look, and ordinary people would feel chills in their hearts when they saw it.The tree was quiet for a while, and finally someone couldn't bear his gaze, and hesitantly leaned out from the branch.

"Young Master Qin... Uh, no, Your Majesty..." The person who poked his head out of the tree looked at the person standing in front of the imperial study room, and finally jumped off the tree lightly. Raise your feet up, and make a posture ready to run away at any time, "Your Majesty, don't come here without any problems, haha, haha..."

The person who spoke was wearing a purple gown. Because he came to face the saint, he didn't wear the mask he usually wears. He showed a gentle and harmless face. It was the No. 11 bone robber Han Heng .

Han Heng was apprehensive, but seeing the other party's eyes on him at this moment, he still felt a drum in his heart.

Xie Zhen didn't speak.

"I, I... Uh, Caomin didn't come to the palace on purpose this time, please don't beat Caomin, Your Majesty!" He had suffered losses at Xie Zhen's hands twice, so he couldn't help but be very careful when speaking at this time, he hesitated, "This time, it's really, really... Marquis Lin told me something before his death, and I'm here to help him complete the last thing."

"..." Xie Zhen's eyes fell on a pile of scrolls in Han Heng's hand.

The emperor didn't speak, and Han Heng felt that the air pressure was a little lower. He shook his courage, but Jian Zhen didn't ask him directly. In the end, he mustered up the courage to step forward and put the pile of scrolls in his arms on Xie Zhen. He said in front of him, "Before Master Lin left, he asked me if I could restore these scrolls. Then I went back to my hometown, thinking that I would restore the things and return them to Master Hou, but the result, the result..."

As a result, when he came back, he heard the bad news that Lin Chenshu was no longer there.

Robber Bone paused at this point, but found that he couldn't continue.He was silent for a while, then quickly shifted and said: "I think these things belong to the emperor, and Lord Hou should also want them to return to their original owners when he was alive, so I brought them here for you."

There are quite a few scrolls, some of which are private collections, and some of which were drawn by me when I was with Chen Shu in the bedroom. Later, Chen Shu suddenly left the palace temporarily and took all these things away.Xie Zhen stared at the scroll in silence for a while, then leaned over to pick up one, but saw that the landscape on it was vivid, and the picture was clean and brand new than before.

He lowered his eyes and silently flipped through another page.

"These are landscape paintings, and they are easy to restore. If you don't look carefully, you won't find any traces." Seeing that he was not angry, Robber was a little relieved.He looked at Xie Zhen for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to untie a painting behind his back and said, "But this one, I thought about it for a long time and didn't dare to redraw it for him. I didn't want to bring it with me. But you, you are the emperor after all..."

Xie Zhen stared at the painting handed over by Robber Bone for a moment, only to see a bloodstain on the scroll, which had not been covered up or wiped.He reached out to take it, and slowly opened it, only to see that it was a portrait of a young man, handsome and gentle, slowly showing his face through the paper.

On the young man's face, there was a large group of blood stains.

Xie Zhen slowly closed his hand holding the scroll.

"You are the emperor, and you are also his favorite person." Robber's voice rang in his ears, and he said in a low voice, "Jing Chu and I will leave the capital tomorrow, and Yang Wu is leaving too. I have thought about it carefully. Thinking, this painting is not suitable for us to take away, it's better to return it to you."

During the day, Yang Wu asked Xie Zhen to give up his post as the general of the defenders of the capital, and voluntarily went to the frontier to guard the pass.

The frontier is bitter and cold, and life is far less fertile than the capital, but Yang Wu said that he came to the capital for Chen Shu. At this time, Chen Shu has already left, and staying in the capital will only add to the sadness.

Chen Shu's last wish is that Yang Wu can assist Xie Zhen.Yang Wu expressed his willingness to fulfill Chen Shu's last wish and protect the frontier for the current emperor.

When that person spoke, his eyes were firm, without any hesitation, and he was walking the same path as Lin Chenshu.

He was Chen Shu's confidant and one of the few trustworthy people around Chen Shu. Xie Zhen approved and agreed, and the rest was to draft an edict and issue an edict.

After Han Heng finished what he wanted to say, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He knew that Xie Zhen's character was not easy to get along with, so he withdrew when the property returned to its original owner.

"Grassman has resigned," he said.

He glanced at Xie Zhen for the last time, and saw that the other party was silently staring at the person in the scroll, and his brows were also furrowed. Suddenly thinking of the person in the painting, he was speechless for a while, and finally turned his head and jumped onto the branch again. Disappeared under the moonlight.

There was a rustling sound on the branches, accompanied by a gust of wind, and then stopped.

"Coo coo, coo coo..." The only thing left was the sound of the carrier pigeon landing, and a bird made a sound, fluttering its wings and landing on the window outside the imperial study room, and the birdsong rang out lonely in the night.

After a while, Xie Zhen raised his eyes slowly, stretched out his hand to carefully roll up the scroll, and carried it into the imperial study.

The red candles in the imperial study room swayed slightly.

Xie Zhen carefully placed the scroll on the table case, then picked up a red rope from the table case, and walked slowly towards the window.

By the window, homing pigeons are pecking at the food by the window.

Xie Zhen reached out and tied the red rope to the pigeon's claw.

A bell is hung on the red rope, and every time the pigeon moves, it will make a crisp sound.

"Chen Shu." Xie Zhen said slowly, looking at the red string and bell of the carrier pigeon in his hand.

No one answered him.

Xie Zhen opened his hand lightly.

"Hoo!" The carrier pigeon was free, and soon flapped its wings again, and rushed forward a few times, disappearing into the long darkness.
