The sun was about to set, and the crows of crows could be heard in the woods around the cemetery. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor carefully admonished the brocade guards who stayed behind to guard the coffin before leaving with his ministers.

Returning to the palace, the emperor immediately went to the place where the examination was conducted to inquire about the results of the examination.

"Your Majesty, nothing unusual has been found from these samples so far. The team leader in charge of the inspection reported respectfully.

The emperor frowned slightly, and after a while, he said, "Based on your experience, is it possible that this is poisoning?"

The team leader replied seriously: "Not really." But it's hard to say. He further explained: "This is the first time the villain has seen this situation, so he does not dare to assert it." ”

"Then check it a few more times, and report back to me in two hours. The emperor said.

Although the emperor was very anxious, he could only be patient for now.

"Yes. The team leader immediately took the order.

The emperor went back to the Yangxin Palace to take a bath and change clothes, and then went to the Ciqing Palace to see the Queen Mother.

After listening to the emperor's report, the empress dowager was silent for a while before muttering: "If it is not poisoning, what other means can be used to kill people without a trace? Who will do it? What is the purpose?"

The Queen Mother was full of doubts.

"The queen mother can rest assured that the child will definitely find a way to find out the truth. The Emperor patted her on the shoulder and comforted. Immediately afterwards, the emperor ordered someone to send the imperial doctor.

"As long as a person does not die naturally, he will definitely have some abnormal symptoms in the body or outside the body, and since there is nothing to be seen from the outside of the body, the villain dares to suggest that His Majesty send someone to dissect the emperor to see the situation in his body. The Imperial Physician said respectfully.

The word 'dissection' made the Queen Mother's face change immediately, and she hurriedly asked the imperial doctor: "Is there any other way?"

"Empress Dowager, this is the most direct and accurate way. The Imperial Physician hurriedly replied.

The emperor had an idea in his heart, and he turned to ask the queen mother for her opinion.

The Empress Dowager said: "'Disembowelment' is always a matter of increasing the sufferings of the recipient's body, and it should be avoided unless it is forced to do so, but if it is for the purpose of investigating the case, I believe that the emperor will not blame, and I ...... There are no comments either. ”

So the emperor immediately asked the mage to choose the time.

The Venerable Master said, "The last five days have not been suitable, and it will not be suitable until three o'clock on the twenty-ninth day of May. ”

The consequences of leaving the corpse on the ground for five days in the hot summer were unimaginable, but when he thought of the fact that the first emperor had not rotted in the tomb for two and a half months, the emperor was a little more relieved, and nodded, "Okay." ”

Later, the emperor sent 200 more men to guard the coffin, and ordered buckets of ice to be placed around the coffin.

On this day, when Shangguan Che arrived at Jiangfu, it was about to darken, but as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Jiang Yuetang standing at the bottom of the Hanging Flower Gate waiting for him.

He smiled and quickened his pace, half-squatted down and picked her up, and asked softly, "Have you had dinner?"

The little guy shook his head and said, "Not yet, I want to wait for the teacher to come and have dinner with the teacher." ”

Shangguan Che's heart suddenly warmed, and said, "Okay, then we'll go now." ”

"Teacher, this is what I made with my own hands. The little guy pointed to a plate of cold cucumbers on the table.

She asked someone from the kitchen to teach her how to make it this afternoon, adding preserved eggs, shrimp and tofu skin to the usual ingredients such as garlic, chili and balsamic vinegar.

Shangguan Che picked up a piece and tasted it, but he felt that the taste was fresh and spicy, and the bite was very crispy, so he gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious!" and looked at her again and said seriously: "Thank you! ”

The little guy smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then the teacher will eat more." ”

"Uh-huh, you eat too. ”

The little one nodded and ate with chopsticks.

Seeing that she was eating all over the corners of her mouth, he smiled again and reached out to help her wipe it, and said softly: "Yueting is really a cute, smart and sensible child!" and said, "I framed the painting you gave me and hung it on the wall of the study." ”

The little guy was suddenly embarrassed and said, "My painting skills are so poor, how can I be embarrassed to appear in the teacher's elegant room?"

Shangguan Che touched her head and said, "No, the teacher thinks you are very good at drawing." ”

"Really?" asked the little one, incredulous.

"Of course it's true, when did the teacher lie to you?"

The little one smiled and continued to eat.

Shangguan Che asked again: "Is your sister Zhaofan still in the house?"

Jiang Yuetang shook her head and said, "She left early this morning." ”

Shangguan Che was slightly disappointed, but did not show it.

When he arrived at the study, Shangguan Che spot-checked Jiang Yuetang's chess knowledge.

Jiang Yuetang answered all correctly.

Shangguan Che was very satisfied, and said: "Yueting, I was originally worried that you would find this kind of study boring, after all, you are still very playful at your age, but I didn't expect you to learn everything, the teacher is very happy!"

"I love to study myself, so I don't find it boring. Jiang Yuetang said with a smile.

"That's good!" Shangguan Che patted her on the shoulder.

Then he said: "In the past few days, I have told you some things about the strategies of the ancients, so that you can have a general understanding of how the ancients used strategies to solve problems and resolve crises. ”

"Good. ”

Shangguan Che officially began to speak: "During the reign of Tang Xianzong, Ling Hu Chu was deeply respected by Xianzong, and was once sent to Yanzhou to serve as Taishou1.

At that time, it coincided with the drought in Yanzhou, and the grain in the fields was not harvested, and the price of grain in the market was extremely high, so many ordinary people who could not afford to buy rice had to beg along the streets.

After learning of this, Ling Huchu's heart was very heavy, and he was determined to find a way to reduce the local rice price after he took office.

On the day he took office, many local officials came to greet him, and Ling Hu Chu chatted with them about the price of rice while greeting them. He asked, "What is the current price of rice?", "How many granaries are in Yanzhou?", "How much grain is in each granary?"

In order to show Linghu Chu that he was familiar with the situation in the state, the officials took the initiative to be courteous and said: "Lord Hui, there are 20 granaries in Yanzhou, with an average of 50,000 quintals of grain stored in the warehouse, which is enough to eat for the time being. ”
