With Pei Ze caught in the middle as a guarantee, it was much easier for Xiao Yanzhi to persuade Xu Lishan to form an alliance than before, which made Xiao Yanzhi regret not putting Pei Ze in front of Xu Lishan earlier.

After convincing Xu Lishan, the concerns in Xiao Yan's heart were relieved, and the remaining two percent could only be resigned to fate, and he had already done what he could.

After the New Year's Festival, the emperor finally ordered Xiao Yanzhi to move to the Shu Mansion outside the palace, but Xiao Yanzhi only moved to Lian Sheng, Xiushui and others, and he still lived in the Wucheng Palace.

But after Xiao Yanzhi moved out of the palace, the Xiao family brothers and sisters were not often in Chang'an because they had to follow the Yan family caravan to the south and north, which made Xiao Yanzhi a little disappointed, but fortunately, his younger brothers and sisters would collect new things from all over the world and come back to him, which was also gratifying.

After Xiao Yanzhi moved outside the palace, Xu Liqian also moved into the palace of King Wu, and so far, all the princes who have become adults and crowned kings of the royal family have moved out of the palace.

After two years, every day in Chang'an City is still the same, and the civil and military officials in the court are also accustomed to the balance of strength between the three princes changing every other month, take a look at the emperor who is still very healthy, everyone silently gave up the idea of betting on the team, and only conscientiously did their own duties, and when the time came, it was not too late for them to stand in line temporarily.

In the Jin Wuwei camp, Pei Ze sat on the top with a cold face, and below were the generals of Xiaowei, Weiwei, Junjun Wei and Jin Wuwei, all of them were silent.

"Within a month, there were three robberies in Chang'an City, not burglary, not clever fraud, but blatant robbery on the street, this king wants to ask, are you blind who are responsible for guarding all parts of the capital?"

Several people were speechless.

The others just didn't dare to speak because of Pei Ze's anger, but the generals who led the military guard and Jin Wuwei really felt that they were blind, otherwise why did they all meet the robber head-on, but they asked someone to run away during the pursuit? What is this not blindness?

Seeing the appearance of a few people who didn't dare to make a sound, Pei Ze was also panicked.

Although this Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, cases of theft, robbery, and fraud also occur almost every day, but those have always been under the control of Jingzhao Mansion, not to mention the Sixteen Guards, even with Dali Temple, but the bad is bad in the three robberies this time, the victims are all ministers of the court, His Majesty is worried that someone is deliberately targeting the court officials, so he attaches great importance to it, and as soon as His Majesty attaches importance to such a thing, he will suffer.

Suddenly remembering what Xiao Yanzhi had jokingly said before, Pei Ze said in a deep voice: "Jin Wuwei has brought a dog with a keen sense of smell when he patrols these days, Xiao Wei and Wei Wei appropriately allocate some people to secretly protect the lords in the court, and this king will also let the people of Dali Temple go to the robbed adults to ask again." Majesty didn't want the same thing to happen a fourth time. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Several people immediately shouted in response.

Pei Ze waved his hand, and several people immediately got up and left, and Pei Ze sat in the Jinwuwei camp for a while before getting up to leave.

Out of the Jinwuwei camp, take the Liangyi Gate into the imperial city, and when passing by the grass workshop of Sinong Temple, Pei Ze's footsteps stopped, and he stared at the wall outside the grass workshop of Sinong Temple, and Pei Ze turned his feet and walked in.

Recently, Xiao Yanzhi has been particularly fond of staying here.

Sure enough, as soon as Pei Ze entered the grass workshop of Sinong Temple, he saw Xiao Yanzhi squatting on the edge of the field, and saw Xiao Yanzhi's happy look, Pei Ze's mood was much better.

"You're so idle?" Standing behind Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze looked at the large area of green land, and really didn't know what was beautiful here.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and replied, "Coming back from Jin Wuwei?" ”

"Yes." Pei Ze nodded.

Xiao Yanzhi stretched out his hand to poke a small grass in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Chang'an City seems to be very unpeaceful recently." ”

In addition to the robbery of three court officials on the street, there was also a murder somewhere in the southwest corner of Chang'an City.

Pei Ze said: "It has always been like this, ordinary people will not live a law-abiding life because Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are people with evil thoughts everywhere." It's just that His Majesty sent you to Dali Temple this year, and you have the opportunity to count how many cases occur every day in Chang'an City. ”

As soon as he heard Pei Ze's words, Xiao Yanzhi hugged his head in annoyance: "Don't mention this...... actually let me go to Dali Temple, I dreamed of a headless female corpse at night, it's enough! ”

Now only the vitality in the grass workshop of Sinong Temple can heal him.

Pei Ze pursed his lips and said, "I thought you were dreaming about me at night." ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze and said, "Your position has recently been replaced by a headless female corpse. ”

"Then we'll have to find a way to regain my position." Pei Ze stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Yanzhi up, "Let's go, isn't Your Majesty waiting to see you?" ”

"How do you know?" Xiao Yanzhi frowned.

Although the Emperor had sent someone to hand him over half an hour ago, he did not want to go, and the Emperor had only said the same thing every time he saw him lately.

Pei Ze said: "When His Majesty sent someone to find me, he asked me to bring you. ”

"Can't you go if you don't go? Either you go and tell my father that my stomach hurts. Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze pitifully.

Pei Ze squinted his eyes at Xiao Yan and said, "Then Your Majesty will bring the imperial doctor to the door to find you." ”

Xiao Yanzhi said reluctantly: "But every time he goes, he only says one thing, and it's annoying to listen to it...... Don't you feel annoyed? ”

Pei Ze didn't answer, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Xiao Yanzhi still went to the Liangyi Hall with Pei Ze, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw the emperor who was in a good mood and Xu Lishan, who was sitting opposite the emperor.

"Son-in-law, see father."

"See Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, come and sit." The Emperor smiled and beckoned to the two.

Xiao Yanzhi walked to the seat that had never been changed in two years and sat down, and asked Xu Lishan, "When did the second emperor come back?" ”

Xu Lishan was sent to Lingnan Province in the first month of this year to deal with the South China Sea pirates, and then in March he wrote that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved and he was ready to return to Beijing.

"Just returned," Xu Lishan smiled at Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze, "I'm afraid that my father will remember the affairs of Lingnan, so I will go to the palace to report it." ”

"It's really hard second emperor brother." Xiao Yanzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Where is the imperial brother," Xu Lishan also smiled back, "It is an honor for the younger brother to be able to share the worries of my father and the imperial brother." ”

"In that case, the second emperor brother helped me solve the matter of Dali Temple by the way, right?" Xiao Yanzhi said confidently, "Those who can work harder." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Lishan's eyes jumped fiercely.

Xiao Yanzhi still didn't think there were enough things to push him? said that he wanted to help him make political achievements and establish prestige, but what does he think about now, how does he think that Xiao Yanzhi just wants to push all the work to him to do, but in the past two years, he has run all over the country, Xiao Yanzhi is hanging out in the palace every day but still shouting tired every day, how can this person's face be so thick-skinned?

The emperor interjected horizontally and said, "I don't know whether to say whether the relationship between your brothers is good or not, and you have to choke each other a few words in front of me." In other words, don't always bully the second child. ”

Xu Lishan retracted his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and said, "The son has no form, and the father forgives the sin." ”

Xiao Yanzhi pouted, as unruly as ever.

The emperor smiled, turned to look at Pei Ze, and asked, "Pei Ze, how happened to the robbery?" ”

Pei Ze lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty forgives the crime, the minister is ordering people to step up the search and arrest, and the robber will be arrested!" ”

"Is there any progress over there in Dali Temple?" The emperor asked Xiao Yanzhi when he said this.

Xiao Yanzhi replied: "The three adults have already obtained evidence, but the three adults have different descriptions of the appearance of the robbers, so it is impossible to judge whether the robbers are a person or a group. But the three adults were all robbed on the way back from Dongshi, and the robbers were all high-priced goods that had just been bought back from Dongshi. ”

After pondering for a moment, the emperor asked Xu Lishan again: "I also told you about this, what do you think?" ”

Xu Lishan thought about it carefully, and then replied cautiously: "Erchen thought that he could lure the snake out of the hole. ”

"How?" The Emperor continued to ask with interest.

Xu Lishan explained: "If it is as the imperial brother said, the robber may be ambushed outside a few shops, waiting for the imperial court officials to buy the things and then follow them to rob them, if so, then we can set a trap." ”

After listening to Xu Lishan's words, the emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you already have an idea, then I will leave this matter to you." Yan Zhi led Dali Temple and Pei Ze led the sixteen guards, and cooperated with Shan'er to arrest the robbers. ”

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Shan'er and Pei Ze should go back and rest, and stay there." ”

“…… Be. ”

Pei Ze and Xu Lishan glanced at each other, and then at the same time gave Xiao Yanzhi a look of self-begging, and left the imperial study.

Being sympathized with by the two of them so tacitly, Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely.

Hearing the door of the imperial study being closed with a "click", the emperor whispered to Xiao Yanzhi: "The thought you have spent on the second child in the past two years has not been in vain, and he is finally a little bit of a look." ”

"It's good if my father is satisfied." Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "If you can marry a wife and have children, I will be even more satisfied." ”

“…… Erchen is not in a hurry. "Sure enough, I want to talk about this again.

"Not in a hurry?" As soon as the emperor heard this, his eyes widened, "When I asked you the year before last, you said that you were not in a hurry, I relied on you, and first pointed out the marriage to the second child." Last year, I asked you, and you said that you were not in a hurry, and you also asked other girls to elope with their lovers. Asking you this year, are you not in a hurry? The second son is over one year old! Do you know how old you are? ”

"Twenty-five," Xiao Yanzhi pouted, "Compared with your father, the son is still young." ”

"Young fart!" The emperor scolded angrily, "When I was your age, my sons were born!" ”

"The minister here knows," Xiao Yanzhi smiled evilly at the emperor, "Isn't it the son of the minister you gave birth to." The second emperor's brother should have been born too, right? ”
