Volume 2 Song of the Morning Chapter 70 Night Conspiracy

The old eunuch opened his small eyes, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Back to the Empress Dowager, in this case on Wencheng Street, Dean Luo and Lord Xu didn't find anything, but later Gongzi Li asked His Majesty for a decree to investigate this case, but he found it." ”

Is there an eyebrow in the case of Man Shing Street? Pu Jing, who was sitting in the hall, was puzzled for a while, as far as he knew, Rao is Li Xiao went to investigate this case, and he didn't gain anything, why did the old eunuch in the hall say that he had found it at this time. The expression on his face didn't change at all, it was still the same smiling look, and his deep eyes were closed, so that people didn't know what he was thinking.

The old queen mother snorted, her face full of disdain: "One is a scholar who can only read, and the other is an old fox who is addicted to power all day long, what can they find out, it is not as useful as a doll, I really don't know what the emperor is using raising the two of them." ”

The old eunuch smiled and did not answer. The Queen Mother dared to say this, he didn't dare, who knows if there will be the eyeliner of the procuratorate and Dongchang in this palace, and he finally spent most of his life in the palace, but he didn't want to lose his life in vain.

In today's world, there are not many people who dare to say that the two major institutions of Haoguo are like this. It's also interesting to say, the restoration of the British Emperor is inseparable from the help of Xu Youzhen and Shi Song, and the old queen mother can achieve this position naturally without losing the two of them, but now the old queen mother doesn't treat the two of them very well, especially Xu Youzhen, who is very weird, which makes her annoyed when she sees it. Shi Song is quite useful, there is a son at home, although he was born with a disability, but those resourcefulness are really impressive.

Over the years, Shi Song has also made a lot of contributions to Haoguo, unlike Xu Youzhen of Dongchang, if he has power, he will only fight with the procuratorate, so that now, assassinations can occur on Wencheng Street. A few days ago, someone dared to trespass into the armor, and the most shocking thing was that this person disappeared in the heavily guarded Jingshi City.

"By the way, what did the kid find?" The old queen mother turned her head sideways, looked at the old eunuch beside her and asked.

"Listen to Xu Sheng, the case on Wencheng Street was instigated by Cai Xu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials." The old eunuch entered the palace a few years earlier than Xu Sheng, and he was much older than the latter, and his tone was a little bit of relying on the old and selling the old.

"Cai Xu, the servant of the ministry?" The old queen mother leaned on it, repeatedly looking up the information of this person in her mind, and found that she had never heard of this servant. Generally speaking, she will have an impression of the slightly more famous officials in the court, especially the secretaries of various ministries, as well as important officials in other major positions. Although the official rank is not high, he has more or less heard the name, but Cai Xu, the servant of the ministry, has never heard of it.

The old eunuch beside him smiled and explained softly: "It was a newly appointed official and a half years ago, from Cangzhou. It is said that the son of this squire is also a talented son of the Wenyuan Poetry Society. It's a pity that it was found to be related to the assassination of Wencheng Street, and he was removed from his official position, and the whole family was distributed, and Cai Xu and Cai Kun, father and son, will also be beheaded with Wumen in the near future. ”

If Li Xiao was present, he would definitely be surprised, when did he find out the real culprit of Wenchengjie's assassination. And he and Cai Kun have only met a few times, even if there is a contradiction in the lawsuit of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, Cai Xu, who is a servant of the ministry, will not plan the case of Wencheng Street, Cai Xu is not stupid, there is no deep hatred between the two, assassination on the edge of the imperial city, for him at that time, it is not worth it.

And the Cai family father and son are the real murderers, how can this sound good, how unreal, I always feel that something is wrong.

"It's also interesting, these days, even the servant of the ministry has to do such a big deal against a doll." The old queen mother smiled, her slightly fat body was a little tired. She yawned, and her voice was a little hoarse: "It's not early today, and the mourning family is weak, so I'll go and rest first, I'll send Master Pu Jing to you." ”

After that, the old queen mother walked slowly to the inner room with the support of the old eunuch and several palace maids.

囬弔, that is, the father-in-law of Qian who carried the glass Buddha statue just now. Gonggong Qian bowed, lowered his head and looked outside the hall gate, and said with a smile: "Master Pujing, please." ”

The Queen Mother left, and Pu Jing and her party did not need to continue to stay here, they stood up, packed up the things they brought, and left Cining Palace silently under the guidance of Father-in-law Qian.

Outside, it was midnight, a curved bright moon hung in the sky, and the bleak moonlight fell down and spread over the golden palace, which was quite solemn. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the originally golden building shines outward, making people daunting. Dragons carved on several eaves, round eyes in the moonlight, gazing at the centuries-old palace.

This is the Haoguo Palace, no matter what time it is, it is so solemn, silent and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, in the alley of a street not far from the imperial city, there were three people standing. Surrounded by tall buildings, even if the moonlight is holy, it is a darkness that it cannot illuminate.

The crescent moon shifted, revealing the faces of the two men near the street.

One is Jiang Zuolang, the envoy of the Liang State who gave the birthday gift today, and the other person ...... It turned out to be the county lord of the Yuwang Mansion, Gao Changyu.

No one knew why the two of them were here, and no one would have thought that they were standing here. One is an envoy of one country, the other is the lord of another country, and two people with such a huge difference in status will appear together. I guess only the person in the shadows will know the reason.

"Mr. She, what you asked me to do in the Taiji Hall today has been done, but the result doesn't seem to be anything, I don't know what your arrangement today is meaningful?" Jiang Zuolang was the first to ask. Traveled thousands of miles to Haoguo, according to the prince's instructions, to connect with this Mr. She, and obey his arrangement. did act according to his arrangement today, but it didn't seem to get any benefits, but it made the little poet fairy Li Xiao gain a lot of fame.

Mr. She in the shadows smiled softly, rubbing his fingers together and hissing sound, which couldn't help but be abrupt in the quiet night. He first glanced at Gao Changyu before he spoke: "Li Xiao's child is an important part of the plan, but this child has been reluctant to enter the official career, which makes our plan unable to continue. ”

Jiang Zuolang nodded slightly, this matter is a conspiracy between this Mr. She and the prince of Liang State, he is just a person who presents this gift, as for what the plan is, he is not clear, but he is curious why he wants to let that Li Xiao compose poems in the palace, not some other famous talent in Haoguo. But having said that, Haoguo, a newcomer to the little poet fairy, has some skills, but in the year of the weak crown, he has such a deep attainment in Buddhism, and he even composed three poems in a row in one night. In the future, this person is afraid that he will be the biggest enemy of Liang Guo's literary circle.

"But Uncle Yu, why did you want me to come forward to intercede, and you specially asked me to come to the birthday banquet today." Gao Changyu's voice was a little light, and his eyes were dodgy when he spoke, and he looked unconfident.

Today, Gao Changyu's intercession for Li Xiao in the Taiji Hall was actually arranged by this Mr. She. No wonder she behaved in such a puzzling way.

"Your Highness, if you don't come forward to intercede today, I'm afraid that the kid will excuse himself and not write poetry, so our plan for so many days will not be repeated, and there will be no result." Mr. She stroked his beard and smiled, and in the dark, his face was still unclear. He looked at Gao Changyu's pretty face full of guilt, and then said: "And today to the birthday banquet, aren't you also willing, do you want Li Xiao's child to be alone?" ”

Gao Changyu subconsciously shook her head, but soon she reacted, she didn't want to, and it was useless. The two were doomed to no result.

Mr. She patted the sand on the side of his boots, and continued: "But today is indeed a bit thrilling, the emperor will let Li Xiao's child choose not to write poetry, fortunately, he finally chose to write poetry, if he chooses not to write poetry and go back to Suzhou, then we have no choice." ”

Everything tonight is in this Mr. She's plan, and the only variable that appears is the choice that the emperor gave Li Xiao. If Li Xiaozhen chooses not to write poetry, then they really can't help it, the emperor is still the emperor after all.

"By the way, Mr. She, do we have any other plans next?" Jiang Zuolang asked. He and the Liang delegation can still stay in Beijing for a few days, and if there are other plans in the future, he can also help.

"It's gone." Mr. She thought for a while, his fingers suddenly stopped, and then said, "Princess Liang Guo hasn't made any other moves in the past few days, right?" ”

"No, Her Royal Highness the princess has been very peaceful these days, hiding in the inn and reading every day." Jiang Zuolang replied.

"It's excellent." Mr. She nodded, couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "I'm afraid that Your Royal Highness the princess will notice something unusual and have doubts about the events of that night." ”

"This is not going to happen, on the next day, when discussing with his subordinates, he unintentionally revealed the treasures in the Haoguo Armor Treasury, which will not make Her Royal Highness the princess suspicious." Jiang Zuolang waved his hand and said with a smile.

That's right, on the night Li Xiao came back from the black market, it was their princess of Liang who broke into the armor at night. That night, with the help of the Liang delegation, the Liang princess disappeared under the search of the city guards. Of course, it was precisely because of this incident that Li Xiao entered the palace by mistake, and then the "tofu" business was launched.

It is worth mentioning that the Liang delegation entered the Jingshi ten days later, and what was done during this period is probably related to this Mr. She in the shadows at this moment.

Everything is connected, and the whole thing seems to be in this Mr. She's arrangement. From Li Xiao's trip to the black market, to the palace at night, to today's birthday banquet, everything in the Taiji Palace. Thinking about it, I can't help but think about it and be terrified.

Gao Changyu didn't understand what the two of them said, she didn't know the cause and effect of Li Xiao's entry into the palace that night, she only thought that Li Xiao had nowhere to go so she chose to spend the night in the palace. She thought about it and wanted to ask, but Mr. She in the shadows spoke first.
