Chapter 34 The Cabinet is formed
The heat of midsummer is fading, and the weather is getting cooler in early autumn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoA month passed quietly in the intense preparation and planning, and the branch of the Water Killing Pavilion has been established.
On the Bailian Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, a waterfall flows straight down from the top of the mountain, like the Milky Way falling, stirring up thousands of waves at the foot of the mountain, the water mist is misty, splashing all over the valley beads and scattering, a piece of mist swallows.
Mo Ruqi, Xuan Ming, and King Zhongtong came on horseback, and as soon as they stopped at the foot of the mountain, Xuan Ming took out a scarf and handed it to King Zhongtong and said, "I have to wronged the prince and blindfold my eyes." ”
Mo Ruqi looked apologetic and said, "Don't be surprised. After all, it is the first time that you and I have worked together, and this is the rule of the rivers and lakes. ”
"It doesn't matter." Yuwen Tongyi did not refuse, and directly blindfolded the silk scarf.
The disciples of the Water Killing Pavilion who had been waiting here for a long time opened the way for them.
As if in order to confuse Yuwen Tongyi, Shu Shui, led by Shu Shui, deliberately took them around a long mountain road, and finally, stopped on the boulder under the waterfall.
I saw that Shushui hit the waterfall with a blow, and the waterfall that poured down was rerouted, and there seemed to be a flat plate invisibly, cutting off the waterfall waist and leading the water to the other side.
Then, the stone wall under the cover of the waterfall appeared in front of everyone, covered with moss and aquatic plants, however, with the dull sound of the stone gate moving, a stone gate appeared on the stone wall.
Under the guidance of Shushui, several people jumped into their capacity.
Yuwen Tongyi only felt that he was suddenly lifted up by someone, shuttling in the air full of water vapor and the sound of water falling, and after a while, he landed on the ground.
When he opened his eyes, he had entered a stone door. Surprisingly, the scene in front of him was not at all what he imagined.
Behind him, there was a stone door, which seemed to enter a cave.
Inside the stone gate, there is a cave. At the entrance of the cave, two large stones like torches stand on both sides, and in the stone basin, a raging flame burns.
Shu Shui led the group along the only road under their feet to the cave, the more they walked in, the more open it became, and finally, they arrived at a huge circular hall.
The lobby is in the middle of the hall, and the sunlight shines through the treetops from the top of a few zhang high in the lobby, which looks bright and spacious.
Seeing Mo Ruqi coming, hundreds of disciples in the hall knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome to the pavilion master!" ”
Mo Ruqi raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up." During this time, the establishment of the branch cabinet has been hard work! ”
While speaking, Mo Ruqi walked quickly to the throne prepared for her, and Xuan Ming and King Zhongtong sat on both sides. Sit down, and immediately someone prepared tea.
Mo Ruqi got up, raised his hand in the direction where Yuwen Tongyi was, and solemnly introduced: "This noble man is the king of Zhongtong of Zhonghou Kingdom. His name and status, I believe that you will be quite familiar with it without introducing it to this cabinet. Presumably, Shushui has already introduced to you the reason why this pavilion established this branch in the Zhonghou Kingdom. The stakes are high in this plan, and if it is done, it will be done. If it doesn't succeed, I'm afraid it will end up being a disaster. ”
When Jianshui and Shushui heard this, they immediately said: "Pavilion master, I am willing to die......"
Before she finished speaking, Mo Ruqi raised her hand to interrupt her and continued, "You guys listen to me." This matter is not a matter of the Water Killing Pavilion, but my own personal grudge. Therefore, this cabinet does not impose on you. If there is anyone who does not want to get involved in this matter, he can go back to the General Cabinet and not participate in this matter. ”
As soon as the words fell, the full hall of disciples knelt on the ground and said: "The enemy of the pavilion master is the enemy of the Water Killing Pavilion. We are willing to die to serve the Cabinet Master. ”
Hearing this, Mo Ruqi was moved, and smiled with satisfaction: "Then this pavilion has thanked you first." Next, the cabinet will make the work arrangements in the cabinet. The next few days of this pavilion were mainly active in the Zhonghou Kingdom, so on the side of the main pavilion, she was still handled by the shearing water, and her disciple Yi Shui assisted her. And the sub-cabinet ......"
Mo Ruqi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, looked at Shushui, and continued: "The branch pavilion has just been established, and everything is waiting to be prospered, this important task, this pavilion will be handed over to you, Shushui!" ”
When Shu Shui heard this, he immediately saluted and said, "Xie Pavilion Master!" It is an honor for Shushui to share the worries of the pavilion owner! ”
Mo Ruqi nodded and said, "Okay." The sub-cabinet is created by you, and you are more familiar with the people in the cabinet than this cabinet, and you are the owner of the cabinet, and you can arrange the people in the cabinet to help you share your worries. ”
When Shu Shui heard this, he was a little embarrassed: "We have just arrived in Zhonghou Kingdom, and we are not familiar with the place, and some things are not easy to handle. ”
At this time, Yuwen Tongyi, who had not spoken, stood up, took out two tokens, handed them to Mo Ruqi and said: "This is the token of this king, in the country of Zhonghou, if you see this order, if you see this king, you can freely distribute it by the lord of Mo Pavilion." ”
Mo Ruqi nodded, handed one of them to Shu Shui and said, "If you have any difficulties in Zhonghou Kingdom, you can also ask King Zhongtong for help." ”
Shu Shui took it respectfully and said, "Pavilion Master Xie, King Xie Zhongtong!" With this token, it will be much easier to move around the capital. ”
Mo Ruqi continued to sweep the people in the lobby and said, "The above is this personnel appointment. Disperse y'all. Shushui, you stay, I still have some important things to discuss. ”
After the big gift, the disciples in the pavilion dispersed in an orderly and rapid manner.
Mo Ruqi took off the prestige of the pavilion master, took out the secret letter that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "I plan to start with this secret letter first. ”
Xuan Ming explained: "This letter was obtained by us from the hands of King Beichen, and regarding the word ci on this letter, the Water Killing Pavilion has secretly checked all the officials in the Zhonghou State and investigated them one by one, and there is no one related to this, so we have to ask King Zhongtong for assistance." ”
Mo Ruqi nodded in agreement and handed the secret letter to King Zhongtong.
Yuwen Tongyi opened the secret letter, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, and finally, he took a deep breath and said: "I have passed on such important court affairs to King Beichen. It is no wonder that over the years, his power has increased instead of decreasing. ”
After sighing, King Zhongtong's eyes fell on the almost invisible word "Ci", pondered for a moment, and said: "I have always had the people who are composed of the structure of the imperial court in my hands, and it is indeed as checked by your pavilion, although there are two of them with the word 'Ci' in their names, but with their official ranks, they will definitely not be able to get such important information. ”
"So there's nowhere to find this clue?" Shu Shui asked.
King Zhongtong shook his head and said, "No! This king thinks that it is still necessary to check from these two people. Perhaps, there are more officials above them involved in this matter, and they are just messengers. And ......"
Yuwen Tongyi's eyes were deep, and he said: "This is not the first similar letter, nor is it the last, I'm afraid, this letter alone can't find out the truth, and it has to be checked from King Beichen." ”
When Mo Ruqi heard this, he immediately ordered: "In this case, Shushui, order people to keep an eye on these two officials with the word 'Ci' in their names, and at the same time, keep an eye on the movements of King Beichen." In addition, tell Jianshui to pay attention to the movements of the Beichen Palace, intercept similar letters, and if necessary, go to the Beichen Palace again, and be sure to find similar secret letters.
Shu Shui nodded and took the order.
