Chapter 119 (1st Update)
Tai Chi Gong upper study
"This is already the third case of disappearance this month, and Wechen has sent people to inspect everywhere, but there is still no result." Commander Liang of the Five Cities Terracotta Division lowered his head and said with some uneasiness.
Lord Chang, who was not far away, had a gloomy face and was staring at him coldly.
Everyone present knew that the concubine of Lord Chang's family was very favored, and she had just made a pretty good marriage with the sister-in-law of the Ministry of Rites, but now that something like this happened, Lord Chang and the Ministry of Rites were staring at him behind his back.
The one in the Ministry of Rites is better, after all, the daughter-in-law has not passed the door, but although this Chang Jue does not have the influence of the old Chang Gong among the military generals in the court, he can almost eat in the court through the shadow of his father, but there are many military generals in the court who are brought out by the old Chang Gong, so he still has some weight, and he is a tempered person, in case he goes out of the palace gate, he will be in trouble.
Commander Liang was beating a drum in his heart, and the right attendant of the household department with an old face suddenly knelt down with a puff, and said unceremoniously: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to participate in the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, the case of the disappearance of young girls has happened for more than a month, and not only the noble daughters of the princes and ministers of the court, but even the daughters of the common people's families have also disappeared, but these two adults are not good at the corpse, and they are not good, so that now the court and even the common people are all suffering!" β
This was said very harshly, and the originally silent Shangshu of the Criminal Department instantly changed his face like Commander Liang, and he couldn't help but immediately come out: "Your Highness, Liu Shilang is so mean because of the disappearance of his beloved daughter, this matter Weichen has already received a report, and he has already investigated it thoroughly with Commander Liang, and now the arrest of our Criminal Department is still stationed in Tianning Temple to investigate the case!" β
"Mean, if your only child is gone, more than a month, there is no news, you don't know whether you live or die, you are mean or not, the security of the capital is the jurisdiction of you and Lord Liang, there is such a bad thing of kidnapping, you fucking say that Lao Tzu is mean?" Liu Shilang suddenly raised his head, stared at the Criminal Department Shangshu with red eyes, stood up after brushing the ground, and rushed up to pull the collar of the Criminal Department Shangshu to make a move.
"What are you doing, Liu Zhen, do you still have a royal law in your eyes!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department was originally a member of the Eight Emperors' faction, and at this time, the affairs of his own master were not settled, and being ridiculed all day long was enough to make him angry, at this time, an official lower than his own rank dared to commit a crime, he was also annoyed in his heart, and he unceremoniously reached out and grabbed Liu Shilang's collar.
Where did the relevant ministers think of such a scene, the two of them actually went to the study to stage a full martial arts, and they all stepped forward to persuade them, so there was chaos in the study in an instant.
Qiu Yebai automatically stood away a little, and suddenly turned his head, and found that Zheng Jun had also made the same action as her, and happened to look at her, and then he snorted lightly and turned his face away.
She raised her eyebrows, this Zheng Dugong has been becoming more and more restrained recently.
Then, she glanced at the chaotic scene, and found that the crane guards did not seem to have the intention of stopping it, which made her feel a little strange in her heart, so she looked at the beginning of the first hundred miles, but saw him leaning on the dragon throne, supporting his cheek with one hand, half-closing his eyes, and his originally naturally pale face seemed to have a strange sense of transparency, and the whole person seemed to be a person made of ice and snow.
She instantly 'chuckled' in her heart, she had rested in the celebrant for the past five or six days because she was too busy, but she hadn't seen her for a few days, why did he look like he was sick?
She was uneasy in her heart, and was about to say something, but she saw Bai Lichu suddenly raise her hand.
The crane guards in the upper study suddenly took a step from all around, and at the same time the long swords in their hands were unsheathed.
"Zheng!" The grim sound of the blades grinding and the cold faces of the crane guards were as pale as ghosts, which instantly froze the ministers in the field, and the audience was instantly silent.
"If the noise becomes a system, His Royal Highness has a will, if you feel that the fight here is not lively enough, you can go to the Yulin Guard School to give it a try, no matter whether you win or lose, you can't go out of the palace gate, and you won't die!" Lao Zhen shook off the dust, and glanced coldly at the ministers below with a sharp voice.
The ministers were instantly startled, and the wolves all knelt down in unison: "Your Highness forgives your sins, but the ministers don't dare." β
Liu Shilang and Shangshu of the Criminal Department described them as the most wolf, and they were even more frightened at this time, as if they were completely sober, and they all knelt on the ground, their faces were as pale as dirt.
"Okay, this matter will be handed over to the celebrant and Dali Temple for thorough investigation, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Criminal Department will work together, and within a month, the palace will see a reasonable result." Bai Li Chu slowly opened his eyes and gave his will indifferently.
The relevant officials who were named all came out to receive the order: "Obey the order!" β
At this time, Zheng Jun suddenly spoke, and he respectfully stepped out: "Weichen has something to do, please forgive Your Highness." β
Bai Li Chu nodded: "Let's talk about it." β
Zheng Jun continued to say respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, Wechen has had an old back injury these days, and the imperial doctor said that Wechen can't stand for a long time, let alone ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, he can only lie on his stomach, Wechen is worried that he will slow down the progress of the investigation, so he specially asks for sick leave." β
When Akiba Bai heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart.
Sure enough, Zheng Jun then said: "Among the celebrants, there is no one who can be in charge of Weichen, and Admiral Qiu has already been able to take charge of himself now, and he is even more careful and cautious, so Weichen recommended that this case be handled by Admiral Qiu." β
As soon as these words were finished, Shangshu and others in the Criminal Department were not surprised, and whoever was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor was the queen mother's person.
But Qiu Yebai naturally understood in his heart that they were not on the same path at all, and this old eunuch didn't know what idea to fight again.
In the days when she succeeded as the celebrant and the admiral, he and Chen He secretly did not make trouble for her, but because the Queen Mother values her now, she doesn't dare to be too blatant.
The Queen Mother Lafayette is also a well-versed in power checks and balances, and she turns a blind eye to their open and secret battles.
After she endured it twice, seeing this situation, she simply stopped being polite, and fought back fiercely with Zhou Yu and the gentlemen who watched the wind.
In response to the provocations and embarrassments from other ministries, they used their 'ruffian method' to fight back fiercely, and tossed the celebrant to the point of jumping and jumping, which hit the arrogance of Zheng Jun and Chen He very much.
And the celebrant was originally the most accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder, seeing that Qiu Yebai is now no longer what it used to be, the momentum and means, and even the favor of the masters have faintly surpassed Zheng Jun.
And Zheng Jun is very old, and he has worked hard for many years to sit in the position of the celebrant overseer, while Qiu Yebai is in his prime, and he has already sat in the position of the second-in-command of the boss and ceremonial supervisor at a young age, and he can also move freely between the two incompatible forces of Yongning Palace and Mingguang Palace, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is absolutely impossible to do just by relying on a beautiful little white face.
Therefore, the chief eunuchs or directors of the other departments and eunuchs are faintly divided into factions, and each has a tendency to stand behind the two.
Now the autumn leaves are white, and they have almost gradually overturned Zheng Jun.
It's just that she also understands that Zheng Jun is definitely not a person who is willing to retreat lightly, so this time he suddenly recommended himself, which made her feel suspicious.
Could it be that there is something hidden in this case, which is particularly difficult to solve?
But since Zheng Jun has already said so, she can't blindly shirk it, she can only simply say a few words about her young age, but some of the courtiers around her think that she is just pretending to be high-minded, or they know that this case is tricky, and it is definitely not so easy as it seems on the surface, and they also want to see her in the limelight and fight fiercely, and they all say that she is young and promising, and she can take on great responsibilities.
Bai Li Chu glanced at her lightly: "What does Admiral Qiu think?" β
Qiu Yebai knew that he didn't want her to be embarrassed and give her the right to choose, but when she caught a glimpse of Zheng Jun's cold eyes, the corners of her lips raised slightly mockingly, and she arched her hand: "Since the governor recommended it like this, his subordinates naturally have to share the worries for the governor, and even more for His Majesty and His Royal Highness. β
She said this very cleverly, and even claimed that she was not a 'micro-minister' but a 'subordinate', which was equivalent to tying Zheng Jun and her vaguely to the same boat, if something went wrong in the future, Zheng Jun would not be able to escape the crime of joint sitting.
After all, she has vaguely indicated that Zheng Jun will 'point' behind the scenes.
Zheng Jun's face stiffened slightly, he didn't expect Qiu Yebai to be so cunning, so that he couldn't say too many rebuttals for a while, after all, he was only injured in the back, not in the brain, not to mention that in addition to the people in the celebrant who knew that their faces and hearts were not compatible, outsiders only knew that he and Qiu Ye Bai belonged to the same queen mother, and nominally he was still Qiu Ye Bai's boss.
Baili first saw that the autumn leaves were white, and his eyes flashed a little gloomy, and then said: "Okay, this matter has been agreed ......." β
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lord Chang, the secretary of the criminal department, and Liu Shilang all bowing together: "Your Highness, there must be a time limit for this matter, otherwise if they are all delayed like Commander Liang, and it will end in nothing, what is the use." β
Lord Chang and Liu Shilang, the two bitter masters whose own daughter has disappeared, are now quite open-minded, especially Liu Shilang, with red eyes, as if he should not have been in front of the palace at the beginning of a hundred miles.
The other ministers also nodded, according to the usual practice, in the event of a major case, there will be a time limit for detection, and if it cannot be detected, it will definitely be punished.
Baili Chu has been in the court for many years, and he has long been accustomed to these scenes, smiled coldly, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard Qiu Yebai say automatically: "Your Highness, Weichen is willing to limit it to one month, if this case cannot be solved in the end, the celebrant is willing to receive the punishment." β
Baili first saw her calm demeanor, so he nodded and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then it is decided, this palace feels that her body is a little tired, so the secretary of state should retreat." β
Qiu Yebai retreated with everyone, and was about to go to the Mingguang Hall when he left the Taiji Palace, Zheng Jun glanced at her and sneered: "It seems that Admiral Qiu and His Royal Highness are really Qin Se and Ming." β
With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
The baby was waiting on the side, watching Zheng Jun leave, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in secret: "Fourth Shao, does Zheng Jun know something." β
He always felt that Zheng Jun had something to say.
Qiu Yebai looked at his back and smiled leisurely: "Zheng Jun is old, I remember the first time I saw him, the momentum on the celebrant was enough to be shocking. β
At the beginning, she always felt that Zheng Jun made her not see through this person, but no matter how capable this person was, if she had been reduced to Cheng DΓΉ, who was now intimidating people with empty words, she would already be at the end of her strength.
She turned around and wanted to go to the Mingguang Palace, but suddenly turned her face to look at the baby again, and hesitated: "Baby, I ......." β
"The four young people just have to go." The baby looked at her and nodded calmly.
Qiu Yebai didn't think much about it anymore, the appearance of Baili Chu really made her a little worried.
When he arrived at the Mingguang Palace, the baby followed Yibai to the side hall to drink tea and wait, and Qiuye Bai followed Shuangbai all the way to the dormitory at the beginning of the hundred miles.
"Your Highness is sick?" Autumn leaves couldn't bear it, and asked themselves about Shuangbai.
Shuangbai nodded slightly: "You will understand when you go to see Your Highness." β
As soon as she entered the temple gate, she smelled a faint smell of medicine, and her heart suddenly became anxious, so she walked in three steps and two steps.
Sure enough, Baili Chu was leaning on the soft pillow, with long hair scattered behind him, and Lao Zhen was waiting for him to use the decoction.
Looking at Bailichu's pale and almost transparent face that seemed to be made of ice and snow, her heart tightened, she stepped forward and sat beside him in a few steps, and reached out to his neck, and sure enough, as she expected, it was cold at the beginning, and the temperature was lower than usual, which was the real corpse temperature.
She didn't ask Bailichu, she looked at Lao Zhen directly, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what's the matter, I've only been away for a few days, why did I become like this!" β
Baili saw that she was in a hurry for the first time, so he put the bowl in his hand in the hand of the little eunuch who was waiting on the side, and then held her soft wattle, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that the old problem is committed, and there are always so many times a year." β
Autumn leaves were stunned for a moment, and raised their eyebrows: "Old problem? β
No matter how this sounds, it sounds like the sick heroine Sister Lin in the legendary masterpiece in later generations would say.
"What's the old problem, don't I have regular blood collection!"
She couldn't help but look at Lao Zhen, and said with a frown: "I remember you said that as long as Ah Chu is with me, plus the Red Flame Gu in my body, His Highness's body will get better and better if I take medicine regularly!" β
She has long known that her body is the best furnace for Ah Chu, and when he grabbed her strongly, he didn't hide it from her.
It's just that she was forced at the beginning, but now she is glad that she can be his furnace!
When Lao Zhen heard this, he lowered his head with some shame and anxiety, and hesitated for a while before saying: "It's all the old slave's fault, the old slave shouldn't let His Highness eat those things that supplement Yang Yuan, it's the old slave who is too anxious!" β
Now it's half the effort.
"You mean those perfect tonic soups, tiger whip deer essences?" Akiba Bai's face was a little weird, and then he coughed lightly: "This...... This thing, His Highness ...... to take some medicine to put down the fire. β
"The old slave asked His Highness to take medicine, and the function is not just to strengthen the body......." Lao Zhen hesitated for a while, looked at Baili Chu's indifferent expression, but did not continue, but a few traces of sadness flashed in his expression.
