Chapter 59: Above the Temple
The Imperial Palace, as the supreme place of the Great Qi Dynasty, must be splendid and extravagant in the imagination of the world, thinking that living in it must be a wine pond and a meat forest, and singing every night.
In fact, although the capital is a prosperous country and the people are safe, there are still many natural disasters in the vast territory of the Great Qi Dynasty, and there are no small conflicts in the surrounding wars. After Ji Sheng ascended the throne of God, he worked diligently for more than 20 years, without major mistakes or major losses, and can only be regarded as a king of success. Fortunately, he is a good emperor except for occasional willfulness, there are not many concubines in the harem, and he does not like extravagance and waste, and his life can only be regarded as fine clothes and food, in fact, it is much worse than some people who are good at enjoyment.
Not only that, ordinary people only need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation; As an emperor, he worries about everything, and occasionally a small thing that goes his way may bring immeasurable changes.
Jing Wushuang listened to Qin Ruixi's sentence and said some childish words every time, it was when Ji Sheng returned to the imperial study after the early dynasty. In the imperial study, Zhu Cheng, the commander of the forbidden army, and Jian Pingzhang, the deputy commander in charge of the assassination of the emperor Xishan, waited with bated breath.
Picking up the good spring tea handed to him by the chief eunuch Shun Gonggong, he took a sip, his frowning brows finally stretched a little, and he looked at the two commanders kneeling on the ground and said lightly, "Get up." â
The two stood up, and without Ji Sheng asking more, Zhu Cheng took the initiative to reply to the news from the investigation in the past few days.
On the same day, the emperor was traveling in micro-service, and there were not many people following him, originally he was going to talk about the father-son relationship with a few princes or something, who knew that halfway through, the third prince Ji Junxiu ate a bad stomach and slowed down, and the second prince Ji Jun's elegant body lĂŹ did not support the half way behind, and when a tiger suddenly popped out in the mountains and forests, the fifth prince Ji Junyang was timid and afraid of things, and actually pushed the sixth prince Ji Junluo, who temporarily went out, to the front of him.
Ji Sheng was so angry that he choked, but after the guards in front of him dealt with the tiger that suddenly jumped out, he found that a team of thirty or forty people had been dispersed into several groups. Immediately afterwards, a group of masked people chased him and killed, if it weren't for the courage of the guards, Ji Junluo's command, and Qin Ruixi and Hu Er's martial arts who appeared in the sky behind him, he would have been killed on the spot.
Afterwards, the more Ji Sheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and the king's suspicion was brought into full play. first threw Ji Junluo to Hu Er, and then announced to his son and subordinates who reunited to ask for guilt that Ji Junluo was kidnapped by thieves to protect him, and most of them were more than lucky. Immediately afterwards, an investigation and arrest was launched in the name of finding the captive six princes.
It was also the day when the sons and brothers of the three friends and four friends who hunted at the banquet were unlucky. Zhu Chengnai, the commander of the forbidden army, was the uncle of Ji Junluo, the sixth prince, and after receiving the emperor's order, he immediately sealed all the passages in Xihou Mountain, so that those masked people who wanted to escape in defeat beat their ideas into the team of the sons and brothers, and they changed their faces and mixed in a lot. These people who were blocked by the forbidden army on the mountain didn't know what the reason was, and many sons and brothers relied on the power of their families to sell the forbidden army at all, and they were all sent to the prison when they clashed.
Today's court, Ji Sheng was forced to retreat by this matter, and he didn't know how to explain if he didn't come to a conclusion.
After these few days of investigation, the forbidden army and the government Yin Yamen have been able to determine that the matter has nothing to do with the children of the family in prison; However, because the arrest came suddenly, something else was found, but it had nothing to do with the assassination, but it just hit the muzzle of the gun, so I had to toss some more time and money.
However, the investigation in the past few days has not been useless, at least the forbidden army has found some small clues on the masked man, and the clues point to the small country of Xiliang that handed over the letter of state ten years ago. On the day of the emperor's assassination, three years ago, Gongzhikang, the prince of Xiliang, who was actually a "proton" in the name of study tours, appeared with his friends in the Guanyin Temple, and that mysterious friend was most likely the leader of the world-famous killer organization that originated in Xiliang. However, these are still speculations and no evidence, even if Ji Sheng understands it, there is nothing to be done.
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Sheng asked Zhu Cheng and Jian Pingzhang to dispose of everyone in the prison as appropriate, and left Zhu Cheng alone to say the news that Ji Junluo had returned to the capital, and asked Zhu Cheng to send a few reliable people to Ji Junluo in private.
After sending Zhu Cheng away, Ji Sheng opened the folds on the table and looked at it for a while, then suddenly closed it and sighed heavily. Father-in-law Shun, who had been guarding beside him, jumped in his heart, drove out the other two eunuchs in the house with a look, and stepped forward to comfort him softly: "The emperor's dragon body is important, don't worry too much." â
"How can I not be worried? If it weren't for the early death of the Great Emperor, why would I be so embarrassed. One by one, when people grow up, their hearts also become bigger! Ji Sheng leaned on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, his expression was full of exhaustion, he was not yet fifty, he was in his prime, but he felt powerless in the face of one or two ambitious sons. On the surface, Zhu Cheng and Jian Pingzhang were investigating the assassination incident, but secretly he also had a visit that belonged to the previous emperors, and the results of the investigation had nothing to do with the assassination, but there were some discoveries that made Ji Sheng extremely disappointed.
This topic is so sensitive that Father-in-law Shun didn't know how to talk for a while, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his back. After a long time, it seemed that he had regained his senses, and he changed the topic very wisely, "Your Majesty, Princess Ronghua's Mansion over there, Prince Qin and Grandma have returned to the mansion, does the emperor have any other arrangements?" "Father-in-law Shun is not good to Qin Ruixi to help him brush up in front of the emperor, but the current emperor's appearance looks a little like he wants to talk about something, although Father-in-law Shun is over the age of six, but he feels that this good life has not been enough, and he doesn't want to lose his head too early.
Fortunately, Ji Sheng's mind instantly flashed the clear and simple eyes of Qin Ruixi when he was in front of him and was fatally stabbed on his behalf, in addition to the joy of seeing him, it was pure admiration, not mixed with any greed, nor any flattery, let alone careful temptation. Although it was just a glance, it made Ji Sheng, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of faces in the world, remember it deeply. Father-in-law Shun mentioned this, and he temporarily stopped the idea of continuing the previous topic, pushed aside the folds on the table and stood up, "Let's go to Ci'an Palace with me!" â
Father-in-law Shun was shocked, twelve years ago, the Queen Mother avoided Ci'an Palace, and the emperor only sat for half an hour in the past solar terms. This half an hour was actually made for outsiders to see, and only a personal eunuch like Gonggong Shun knew that the emperor and the queen mother had hardly met since a quarrel twelve years ago when no one knew the content, and every time the emperor went over it was just a show; The Queen Mother is still reciting scriptures and copying books in the innermost Buddhist hall of Ci'an Palace, and will never come to the emperor sitting in the main hall.
It's not a year, when I heard Qin Ruixi's name, the emperor was going to Ci'an Palace! Why?
