The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor achieved their purpose in the first phase, and they stopped deliberately performing. They all know that the Dao Gate is not so easy to dismiss, so they accept it when they see it.

Coming down from the Emperor Taishang and the emperor, the national teacher took Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu to walk slowly along the stream of the autumn hunting ground, Princess Changle obviously knew that the three of them had something to say, so she didn't follow, but went to play the leaf card with the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan.

The weather on this day is very good, tomorrow is high, the breeze is cool, and there is still a little bit of heat in the Jingshi, but in this autumn hunting ground, I can already feel the coolness. Walking in this field, although the eyes are full of green, a few traces of withered yellow can be seen in the green.

When there are many plants and trees in the field, there are many mosquitoes. Where there are many people, it is better, but where there are few people, you can see a piece of black pressure, covering the sky and the sun, as if you are going to eat life.

It is also thanks to the national teacher, Jia Jiu, and Lin Daiyu that their cultivation is good, and they will not be disturbed by these mosquitoes, and even these mosquitoes are afraid of the sword qi on the three of them and choose to avoid them.

It's just that walking in such a place, this mood is naturally not much better.

The national teacher walked in front, Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu walked behind him, and the three of them walked slowly along the creek in the shape of a zigzag, and gradually, away from the crowd, and away from the tent of the Emperor Taishang and the emperor.

After walking for a long time, even the patrolling people were left a hundred paces away, only to hear the national teacher say lightly: "Tong Yunliu, when you chose to trade with Banzai with Hongzhi, why did you refuse all the rewards?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Without him, I just think that this thing is likely to cause trouble to my family and my father and brother." ”

The national teacher said: "Why do you think so? ”

"Why?" Jia Jiu originally felt that it was a little strange for the national teacher to suddenly ask this question. I didn't expect that the national teacher would continue to ask. Jia Jiu thought for a while, and then replied: "Probably Mu Xiu Yulin." ”

"Yes."

The national teacher still spit out two words lightly. Still walking forward silently. Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu glanced at each other, paused at their feet, and still followed.

After a while, the national teacher asked again: "Qianyuluo, why did you hand over those salt and fertilizer workshops and salt fertilizer farms so easily?" ”

Qianyuluo is Lin Daiyu's road number.

Lin Daiyu replied calmly: "Uncle Hui is because of his guilt." ”

The national teacher said: "It turns out that the imperial court has reached this point? ”

Jia Jiu then understood. It turned out that Daomen was beginning to be disappointed with the imperial court.

This does not bode well. After all, if the Daomen had a disagreement with the imperial court. That's definitely not a good thing for the world and the people.

Jia Jiu said: "Uncle Shi, we were too timid, so we took the initiative to hand over the salt fertilizer Zhuangzi and the salt fertilizer workshop. It's not that the imperial court intends to ......"

The national teacher said: "So, is the Zhuangzi in the north too?" ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head.

The national teacher said: "I think, if it weren't for Princess Changle being ordered to ask you for these Zhuangzi." You won't give either; If it weren't for seeing the ending between you and Princess Changle. Qianyuluo will not take the initiative to cooperate and hand over his own industry, right? The imperial court, when did it be, and how many imperial courts would do such a thing when it was prosperous? is unscrupulous internally, does not take civil and military officials as a thing, and does not take heroes as a thing, but externally it is very weak, for fear of offending the barbarians! Such a court! ”

The national teacher did not continue. But Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu both heard the anger of the national teacher.

The national teacher is angry with the emperor and the emperor.

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Uncle Shi." Those two were born in that environment, not to mention that the first emperor did not set a good example back then, even those imperial concubines were mostly villains. Why should Uncle Shi have great expectations for them? ”

The national teacher said: "But in this case, I'm afraid that the etiquette will collapse." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Relatives are virtuous ministers and far villains. Easier said than done. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have spoiled those concubines and concubines to give the queen no face today. ”

The national teacher snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

In the eyes of the national teacher, the current emperor is the typical little woman thought. Whether it is the previous pampering of Concubine Li to the queen without face, or the current Concubine Jin, this is the case. Think that you can balance the previous dynasty by using the harem? What a really unproductive idea, what a really unproductive style! If the emperor is capable enough, he can train a few more generals to disperse the prestige of the Yang family in the army. There are many generals here, and the Yang family naturally does not dare to act rashly. Because there are so many people who can replace him.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong had a loss of personal morality, but he had more soldiers and more generals, and a few could be on top of one dismount. Because of this, those generals were very obedient, because they all knew that if any of them dared to rebel, a bunch of people would come and line up to beat him!

But after the Anshi Rebellion, there were only a handful of outstanding generals in the entire Tang Dynasty, and Guo Ziyi was the only one who stood out. Even with Guo Ziyi's loyalty, he was afraid that the royal family would tremble because he was afraid of their Guo family.

Just like now.

Even the women in the boudoir began to worry about whether the court would let people frame their families because they had money, or make trouble for their families. Isn't this a sign of troubled times, but what is it?

The national teacher stopped and walked back suddenly.

There are some things that the Daomen can prepare.

The look of the national teacher, Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu can see it clearly. Although they didn't know what the national teacher was worried about, they could also see that the national teacher had made a certain decision.

The three of them continued to walk back, and when they were halfway there, they saw a palace maid walking quickly. This palace maid was extremely tall, with a slender face, high cheekbones, and a mole above the left corner of her mouth. Dressed in a pink palace dress and wearing a pair of high-soled shoes, it looks more and more abrupt.

In short, this is a very eye-catching person.

As soon as this palace maid saw the national teacher and Jia Jiulin Daiyu, she hurriedly came over, saluted the three of them, and said, "County Lord Jia, Concubine Jin is invited." ”

"Concubine Jin?" Jia Jiu glanced at the national teacher, and then said, "I have no personal relationship with Concubine Jin. ”

The palace maid said: "It is precisely because there is no personal relationship. Concubine Jin Niangniang hoped to talk to the county lord of Jia. ”

Jia Jiu said: "I am a foreign wife, but Concubine Jin is the imperial concubine, and some things still need to be taboo." ”

The palace maid said: "Jia County's words are heavy. It's really something about Princess Changle. Our mother needs to consult the county lord Jia. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he immediately shook his head: "I have been on Yuqing Mountain for ten years, and I have been separated from Princess Changle for ten years. What I know is Princess Changle ten years ago, but I don't know enough about Princess Changle now. Concubine Jin cares about Princess Changle and is the kindness of Concubine Jin. It's just that this kind of thing is not something that I, a foreign wife, can interfere in. Not to mention that I'm already a monk. Please return to Concubine Jin like this. ”

When the palace maid heard this, she immediately knelt down. Said: "County Lord Jia, please also ask County Lord Jia to have mercy, if the servant can't invite County Lord Jia back, I'm afraid of ......"

Jia Jiu immediately interrupted him. said: "Please be cautious." As far as I know. Concubine Jin is a very gentle mother, how can she do such a thing if she is lenient? Your behavior like this makes me wonder if you were sent by Concubine Jin. ”

The palace maid shook and just opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, but the three of them, the national teacher and Jia Jiu Lin Daiyu, quickly disappeared.

With their cultivation. It's not hard to shake off a big light gong here.

A little later, after Princess Changle came back from the eldest princess of Lanling. And he said, "You know what? Just now, a palace maid died next to Concubine Jin. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he immediately fell in love and said: "Speaking of which, in the afternoon, we followed the national teacher and walked around a little later, I didn't want to, but when I came back, I met a palace maid, who was alone, and said that Concubine Jin was invited." I remember the rules in the palace, if there is something to tell the people below to do it, they always send two people at a time. Therefore it was ignored. Changle, tell me, what does the palace maid look like? ”

Changle hurriedly signaled his personal palace maid Ruyi to describe it like this.

Jia Jiu frowned: "They are tall, with long thin faces, and moles above the corners of their mouths." It's not this palace maid! ”

Princess Changle said: "What, is it really this palace maid?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "That's right. The palace maid who stopped me just now was indeed this person. ”

Princess Changle wanted to say something, but she heard someone at the door: "So, can you ask County Lord Jia to go with Xiaguan?" ”

Jia Jiu turned his head to look, but he was not an old acquaintance, the Shaoqing of Jingzhao Mansion back then, and now the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Zhao Liangdong Zhao.

Jia Jiu smiled: "Lord Zhao, I think, it's not this step yet, right?" ”

"Why did County Lord Jia say that?"

"I want to ask Lord Zhao, is it one palace maid or two who died? Is there anyone else on the side? ”

Zhao Liangdong replied: "None." Only one palace maid died. ”

Jia Jiu replied, "That's very simple. According to the rules of the palace, if there is something that needs to be passed on by the palace people, at least two people will be sent at a time, either two palace maids, or two chamberlains at a time, and even one palace maid and one chamberlain are rare. Isn't it? Since there was only one palace maid who had an accident, it was very likely that the place where the incident happened was in front of his master, Concubine Jinniang. What does it have to do with me as an outsider? ”

Zhao Liangdong said: "What the county lord Jia said is not unreasonable. In fact, it was two palace maids who disappeared, but only one of them was found at the moment. ”

Jia Jiu's face was still smiling, but he also put it away at this time, and said, "Two palace maids are missing?" ”

"Yes."

Jia Jiu looked at Zhao Liangdong calmly and said, "Lord Zhao has a clue in his heart?" ”

"If there were clues, I wouldn't have made this trip."

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Lord Zhao, don't you want to entertain me. ”

"The lower officials don't dare."

Jia Jiu replied, "Why is Lord Zhao so humble? In fact, we all know that going out is no better than being in Beijing. Especially in front of Concubine Jin, there are several people who can follow. This is so decent, there are suddenly two less people around Concubine Jin, and Concubine Jin doesn't feel it at all? The people around him didn't notice either? Lord Zhao, can you investigate these things clearly? ”

Zhao Liangdong said: "County Lord Jia, Concubine Jin has been in front of Banzai. ”

Jia Jiu said: "I also left not long ago from the Emperor Taishang and Long Live Us. Nor are the witnesses one or two. Concubine Jin has always been in front of Banzai, so the people around him are naturally monitored by the palace maids, chamberlains, and guards around Banzai. Lord Zhao, before you came to me, did you ask these people? ”

Zhao Liangdong said: "Long live, how can the people around you ask casually? ”

"So you're asking me?" Jia Jiu's voice finally cooled down, and said, "Lord Zhao, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are no longer what you used to be. No, maybe it's because I've never known the real you. I know that you can get clues by asking the people in front of you, but you don't ask, what are you doing with me? ”

Zhao Liangdong said: "Because some people say that the county lord Jia is the last person to see this palace maid." ”

Jia Jiu replied: "When and where, and who is the person who said this?" ”

Zhao Liangdong said: "The lower officials need to keep it secret. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Then let me tell you, after I left the Emperor Taishang, I walked in the direction of Chouyin with the national teacher and my junior sister for about three quarters of an hour, and then came back." About two-thirds of the way away, I saw the palace maid alone to stop me, saying that Concubine Jin was invited. I didn't think it was in order, so I didn't accept the invitation, but came back directly. And when I returned, it was just as the patrolling guards passed by the tent. Is such a message sufficient? ”

Zhao Liangdong glanced at Jia Jiu deeply, then hugged his fists, saluted, and said, "The lower official is rude." ”

After Zhao Liangdong left, Princess Changle said: "This Lord Zhao seems to be doing this on purpose. ”

Jia Jiu paused, and then said, "Whether he did it on purpose or not, it doesn't matter now." ”

"Nine girls?"

Jia Jiu said: "I knew for a long time that someone would target me, but I didn't expect it to be such an interesting thing." ”

"Interesting?"

Princess Changle was stupid. He didn't expect Jia Jiu to comment on this matter like this.

Jia Jiu replied, "Isn't it? Even if there is a palace maid in the palace, it is carefully selected. Do you carefully recall the palace maid you described, and his appearance can meet the standards of the palace? ”

Princess Changle exclaimed: "Such people are often serving in the Huanyi Bureau!" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "But this palace maid is the person next to Concubine Jin. Don't you think it's a lot of fun? ”

Princess Changle said: "This person's appearance is really too conspicuous, as if he deliberately attracts people's eyes and makes people pay attention to him." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Now, it doesn't matter if he deliberately attracts people's attention or not. There's only one thing I want to know, and how much more is behind it. (To be continued.) )
