Queen's Detective

Fan Zhengchun was worried, he was really worried.

In fact, it was only two or three years since he became the Minister of Dali Temple. Not long after he took office, Guan Qing resigned. Who is the immediate boss?God only knows.

Fan Zhengchun once suspected that it was because he was not as good looking as Guan Qingci.After all, Zhou people love beauty.

But now, Fan Zhengchun felt that the little bit of appearance he had was about to go to waste.One of the most difficult errands in the Great Zhou Dynasty fell on him, because it was appointed by Luoyang King and His Majesty the Emperor, and he could not push it to Guan Qing's resignation as before. Therefore, his recent hair Grab a handful, and it will be more decayed than the broken thatch in autumn.

But Fan Zhengchun insisted that this matter was not a problem of his own ability, but that the case could not be investigated at all.

He has only been in office for a short time, and he has no access to this kind of secrets at all, so he really doesn't know the truth about the Hongheling case.And those who know the truth are also well versed in the truth that disaster comes from the mouth, no matter how Fan Zhengchun probes, they keep silent.

They are still waiting and watching, because the attitude of the emperor and the king of Luoyang is not yet obvious.

Fan Zhengchun didn't know the truth, but he could smell tricks and dangers in it, so he would rather be accused of 'incompetence' than investigate further.The emperor is kind and will never chop off his head just because he is incompetent.

Moreover, as the Minister of Dali Temple, he was directly ordered by the emperor. He had never stood in a team, and the quarrels in the court really had nothing to do with him. It was safest for him to continue to be incompetent.

However, what happened next left Fan Zhengchun, who had made up his mind to be a coward, dumbfounded.

Yushitai is notoriously upright and upright, and Di Tiezui risked his life to participate in Li Yan's book at this time. The reason was that he had no military discipline to mobilize the magic archers without authorization.The king of Luoyang does not have military power, but he can mobilize the army. This matter is very serious when it is expanded, and it is even more serious when it is said from Zhai Tiezui.

Who is Zhai Tiezui?Zhai Ying, Yushitai is notoriously hard-headed, he only recognizes reason and does not recognize people. Even if the emperor did something wrong, he can still pass the exam without regret.As far as his temper is concerned, there are not many people in the government and the opposition that he has not offended. If another emperor with a slightly worse temper came, ten heads would not be enough to cut off.

But this is precisely what made Zhai Ying famous. At least among the people, Zhai Yushi is definitely a representative of justice.

But this time he actually confronted Li Yan, his words were immediately heard by the whole court.Li Yan's eyes finally had a wave of excitement. He has been standing still for the past few days, just waiting. The opponent played Di Ying's card, which is really wonderful.

Because Zhai Ying will not be bribed, what he said is the truth.

Everyone was waiting for Li Yan's answer. The emperor looked at him without any emotion, "What did Qinghe say?"

Li Yan stopped several generals who wanted to speak with his eyes, and stepped out, and a deep and magnetic voice sounded in the hall, "Return to Your Majesty, there is indeed a matter."

Is this admitted?All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, what about the bloody storm that was agreed?Zhai Ying was also stunned. He was worried for a while after receiving the news. In his opinion, it was very dangerous for Li Yan to freely mobilize the Archers, so he had to stand up and say a few words, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

But he admitted it so readily? ? ?

"Oh? Come and listen to me." The emperor also seemed to be aroused.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I was assassinated in Yingtian Mansion at that time. Since I had no private soldiers under my command, I found General Su nearby. Because the situation is urgent, I will not report it in time."

"I still have a question, my lord, why didn't you find the city defense department? And the local garrison in Yingtian Mansion is not General Su."

Li Yan smiled slightly, "Lord Zhai is right, but the enemy is too strong, and the city defense department is useless. Although Yingtian Mansion is not under the jurisdiction of General Su, the Divine Archers were indeed nearby. I am not familiar with the local garrison. Of course, I will go to the magic archer, after all, life-saving is the most important thing."

The ministers: "..."

Being assassinated is such a big thing, is it really good to say it so indifferently?

"Who is so rampant, dare to assassinate you, my lord?" Zhai Ying also frowned deeply. He only heard about Li Yan mobilizing troops privately, but he didn't know about the assassination. It seems that Li Yan I am quite familiar with those people, among them...

"Lord Zhai, I am the prince. There are many people who want to assassinate me. There are also shadows in the peaceful and prosperous times. Your Excellency hates evil like enemies, and you should be the most aware. But this king is not afraid of them, so you don't have to worry about it."

Li Yan said neither humble nor overbearing, his posture was casual, but his back was as straight as a green pine.Zhai Ying suddenly stopped talking, because he suddenly realized something - Li Yan was assassinated, but there was no news from the outside world, which shows that he deliberately kept it a secret.But he got this crucial news at this juncture, it can be seen that the person who revealed the news to him has no good intentions.

Although Zhai Ying has a bad temper, he is not stupid either.

but……

"It's still not right to deploy troops privately, especially in the army, where there are no rules, and there is no way to achieve success." Zhai Ying said.

Su Shihui stood up with a cold face, "It's the soldiers who were ordered by the general. Could it be that the general is also at fault?"

"Yes." Zhai Ying did not back down at all.

Su Shihui frowned suddenly, and the murderous look in his eyes was about to show.At this time, the emperor finally glanced at them and said: "Okay, I'm tired, so don't argue about this matter again. The king of Luoyang fined his salary for one year and banned him for seven days. General Su also went back to reflect. What does Yushi Zhai think? ?”

Di Ying then nodded, the emperor's move can be regarded as giving him enough face.But Zhai Ying was always serious, his temper was like a stinky rock, and his expression was also like a stinky rock. His expression hadn't changed since just now.

After the court, no one went with Zhai Ying. He was used to walking alone, so he didn't feel anything, so he walked away.Not long after arriving home at night, Jing Zhaoyin Pei Song sneaked in through the back door like a dog.

The slick 'Timely Rain' Pei Song is friends with the stinky and hard Zhai Tiezui, which few people know.

"Hey, I said you can't help but join in the fun? Do you feel that your head is too hard recently and want to try to chop it twice? My ancestors, if you want to be selected, you can also choose an auspicious day?" Hear his voice first.

Zhai Ying raised her head from the case file, and saw Pei Song walking in lazily, with the expression of going to the casino and losing all his belongings.

Zhai Ying glanced at him, then lowered his head and went about his own business.

"Hey, you still ignore me, do you know who you are participating in? King Luoyang, is that something you can move at will?"

Zhai Ying finally had some reaction, "The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people."

"I said, are you stupid! This is just a polite talk, okay? A polite talk! Can you take it seriously... Wait, you don't really want to..."

Pei Song looked at the dossier in Zhai Ying's hand, and couldn't help feeling sad, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, "You also want to intervene in the matter of Hongheling? King Li is dead, are you going to fight with King Luoyang?" Didn’t you always say that there is a grievance and a debtor, and this is not the fault of the King of Luoyang, right? He was at most a baby at that time.”

Zhai Ying was silent for a long time, before he said again: "But he is the son of King Li, the little master in Su Shihui's heart, he may be kind, but he can mobilize the archers today, and he can mobilize the army to attack the city tomorrow. "

"It's all your guesswork."

"But that doesn't mean it won't happen."

Seeing his friend's dignified expression, Pei Song sighed in his heart, "I believe you can also see that this matter is someone who is targeting Li Wang's lineage. If you intervene, won't you be in their way?"

"But because of this, should I do nothing? Then who will give an explanation to those innocent victims?"

Pei Song was at a loss for words, and Zhai Ying said again: "During the Imperial College, we made an oath that we would follow Master Xia as an example and spend our entire lives striving for political clarity. I have never forgotten that oath. I don't care about winning or losing, only right or wrong .”

Pei Song shook his head helplessly, "But right and wrong are too small before big things."

"If we can't hold on to such small things, how can we achieve great things?"

"But have you ever thought that sometimes knowing the truth is the most painful thing. Ten years ago, maybe it was because of this consideration that the truth was buried." Pei Song sighed.

Di Ying's eyes were still determined, "But today is not what it used to be, and those who make mistakes will eventually have to pay the price."

At the same time, Chongxiao Palace.

Yan Sanbai came back from the outside, and after hearing what happened in the early court alone, he went to find Li Yan.

Li Yan's feet were restrained, and he was standing alone on Zhulou, playing with a piece of jade pendant, standing still for a long time.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, he didn't look back, and after a while, he heard a warm voice in his ears, "Are you unhappy?"

Then Li Yan turned his head, his brows were slightly frowned on that beautiful face, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and the pitiful expression in his eyes that was begging for comfort was brought into full play.

Yan Sanbai had been with him for so long, his ears would still feel hot when he was looked at like this - even if he knew it was all a fake.

"Don't be pitiful, pretend I can't see it?"

Li Yan was not embarrassed to be punctured. He wrapped his arms around his waist, leaned closer and bit his red earlobe, "You can't do me once, you have to expose me."

Yan Sanbai turned his head away, "If you don't push yourself every time, why not if I follow you every time?"

Li Yan begged for mercy, "Master Zhuangyuan Lang doesn't remember the mistakes of villains, and the younger ones won't dare next time."

Yan Sanbai was ashamed and angry, and grabbed Li Yan's paw that was wandering on him, "I don't think you can change it for the rest of your life."

"Then let's not change it." Li Yan rubbed his cheek, hanging most of his body on him, like a big lazy cat.

Yan Sanbai also had nothing to do with him, he caught a glimpse of the jade pendant that Li Yan was holding just now, and said, "The matter of Zhai Yushi..."

"Don't worry, I'm not really angry." Li Yan said: "However, if I really become the regent in the future, with my lazy and easy-going temperament, it must be a headache to have such an upright censor who likes to remonstrate. , chest tightness, shortness of breath, depression..."

Yan Sanbai smiled, "Then what should we do?"

"Like this." Li Yan lowered his head and grabbed his lips, pried open his teeth, inserted his fingers between his hair and placed them behind his head, kissing wantonly.

Ling Ding, who was passing by downstairs, hurriedly covered his eyes - he was about to go blind, the sun was shining brightly in broad daylight, can the prince still show some face?

For the next three days, because of the foot restraint order, Li Yan stayed in Chongxiao Palace obediently and didn't go anywhere.Watching Yan Sanbai go out every day, he finally experienced the feeling of a boudoir resentful woman.

Compared to the tranquility of Chongxiao Hall, the sky outside has already turned upside down.Li Yan will not go to the court, and there will be no more scruples in the court. The civil and military officials are almost about to fight. It is said that Su Shihui has already broken seven or eight vases at home.

And the undercurrent among the people is becoming more and more turbulent. There are wave after wave of interrogation against King Li, and relevant people like Zheng Yong appear one after another. Although they are all invited to Dali Temple, the people of Chang'an are all I saw it.

The truth, just like this, is ready to come out in the surge of people's hearts day after day.The court did not give an explanation for a long time, and the King of Luoyang seemed to know that he was ashamed and hid, which made the people in Chang'an extremely contradictory and anxious.

The news that Zhai Ying participated in Li Yan's book also spread like wildfire, and Zhai Ying's reputation was well known, which was bad news for Li Yan.

The recent Yushitai was also blown up. Many people speculated whether they were going to fight Li Yan completely to get rid of the biggest hidden danger in Dazhou.

The emperor didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and the situation seemed to be just a step away from getting out of control.

The days of early September finally started to turn cold.

Yan Sanbai walked through Suzaku Avenue alone, and waited outside the courtyard wall. When he saw Guiren, he adjusted the tulle coat that Li Yan personally put on him, went up to him, and said hello in a gentle manner, "Lord Di .”
