After Li Lang came out of the council hall, he was called by a small eunuch to the Daming Palace where the emperor lived.

The emperor should have something to talk to him about alone.

When he arrived at Daming Palace, Emperor Jin was taking medicine.

When Emperor Jin saw Li Lang's figure, he immediately asked the eunuchs and palace maids around him to step down, and beckoned him to come forward and sit down on the chair opposite.

Li Lang walked over quickly, and the moment he sat down, he heard Emperor Jin ask tentatively: "Erlang, are you surprised by what happened in the court this morning?" ”

Not at all surprised, I was ready for a long time.

Li Lang thought so in his heart, but said: "Yes, the younger brother entered the palace today, and he was not prepared at all, but it is the duty of the younger brother to share the worries of the imperial brother." ”

Emperor Jin nodded with a little comfort: "My Erlang, I have finally grown up." ”

Li Lang said with a smile: "People will always grow up one day, not to mention that there have been so many things that have happened to the younger brother recently, how can you be as ignorant as before." ”

He is modest on the surface, but in fact, he secretly scolds the young prince for being ignorant, and in order to survive, he abandons the imperial brother who has been silently guarding him.

Emperor Jin said: "I asked you to go to the Criminal Department, and I really embarrassed you, but I can't help it, you also saw the situation in the court this morning, the queen's power is too great......

The following words, Emperor Jin did not say thoroughly.

Li Lang understood, and he said, "Brother Huang, my brother will definitely do his best." ”

Emperor Jin nodded, sighed, and said: "Go to the Criminal Department here, Xuyang Hou and they will definitely make things difficult for you in every way, if you really can't solve the case, I won't force it." ”

Li Lang said confidently with his eyes: "Brother Huang, my brother will definitely not let you down." ”

Emperor Jin was a little surprised: "Oh, Mo Fei Erlang already has a plan in his heart. ”

Li Lang said: "Yes, but you have to read the file to know ......."

Emperor Jin didn't know what he was thinking about, but he looked at Li Lang carefully for a while before letting him leave.

Li Lang was uncomfortable by the emperor, wondering if the other party had seen something, and after walking out of the Daming Palace, he was greatly relieved.

Kunning Palace.

After listening to Xu Hui's report about the relationship between Li Lang and Mingyue last night, Queen Hu frowned, "Who is that woman?" ”

Xu Hui said: "The minister doesn't know, but Niangniang, if the minister has been staying by King Xiang's side, it will be difficult to find out the relationship between that woman and King Xiang." Although she seemed to be just a wine seller, when the minister saw her, he felt extraordinary, so he begged the mother to retract yesterday's order, so that the minister could secretly observe them, so that he could also find out the secret behind King Xiang. ”

When Empress Hu heard this, she thought for a while before nodding and said: "It's okay, keep following, the other party naturally doesn't dare to make a move, and it is indeed appropriate to change to a dark place, but except for that woman, you asked me to take back my life, do you really have no other selfish intentions?" ”

Xu Hui said resolutely: "The minister swears by the heavens that everything is for the sake of the mother." ”

At this moment, Hu Zhe came in from outside.

Empress Hu waved her hand at Xu Hui, "You go down." ”

"Yes."

Xu Hui slowly retreated towards the gate of the palace, just as Hu Zhe who followed passed by.

Hu Zhe walked up to Queen Hu, bowed to her, and then talked about what happened in the Yizheng Hall in the morning.

"Hmph."

Queen Hu let out a snort, although there was disdain in this voice, there was a strange charm emanating from her bones, and it was difficult for a man to hold it.

If it was Li Lang, he would have pounced on her and slapped her hard.

Hu Zhe said to Queen Hu: "Then Li Yanxin didn't think he could do anything, and he made a bet with his nephew, in the Jin Kingdom, I have never seen someone as arrogant as him." ”

Queen Hu said: "Zhe'er, you can handle the case with peace of mind, you don't need to pay attention to him, Your Majesty wants King Xiang to hinder the palace, it's really too much." ”

Hu Zhe said yes.

Queen Hu looked at him and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that you already have a marriage contract with the Yun family, otherwise this palace will marry you Guo'er, you two are childhood sweethearts, and you grew up together." ”

Hu Zhe knew what Queen Hu meant, Queen Hu wanted him to marry Princess Guo'er, and then once they gave birth to a boy, they would let the child have the surname Li.

And this child can rightfully become the heir to the throne of the Jin Kingdom in the future.

Their Hu family was able to share the world with the Li family because of this.

It's a pity that back then, when the Hu family was not as powerful as it is now, in order to be able to ascend to the throne, he licked the shoes of the old lady of the Yun family and made a marriage contract with Yun Xiu, the daughter of General Yun who is now conquering the south.

If you want to regret it, it's too late.

Thinking of this, Hu Zhe coughed dryly and said: "The world is unpredictable, why should my aunt sigh, Yunxiu is a good woman, and my nephew doesn't want to let her down." ”

……

……

The Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Zhao Yi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, returned to the Criminal Department, and the officials of the Criminal Department gave him a sympathetic look along the way.

"Hello Lord Zhao."

"Lord Shangshu is injured, and we will all have to rely on Lord Zhao in the future."

"I've seen Lord Zhao."

Zhao Yi's face was a little ugly, and when he walked into a certain class room, Lang Zhong from the four yamen of the Criminal Department was waiting there.

These four yamen are the criminal department under the criminal department, the capital official office, the bibu ya, and the simen ya.

The four yamen performed their own duties, and the criminal department was the main yamen in charge of these two cases.

When the four Lang Zhong saw Zhao Yi, they all got up and bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Shilang." ”

Zhao Yi waved his hand and asked them to sit down, and after sighing, he said: "Tell you one thing, King Xiang and Xuyang Hou will come to my criminal department in the afternoon, and everyone should be careful when doing things in the future." ”

As soon as this sentence was written, the people present changed color.

Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department said: "Didn't you say that only one Xuyang Hou is coming?" Why is there another Xiangwang? ”

Zhao Yi shook his hand and said: "This is called the dispute between the two palaces, as long as we are not affected, Wang Langzhong, especially your criminal department, the two recent cases, King Xiang and Xuyang Hou have to be asked, you have to be careful." ”

Lang Zhong of the other three departments gave the criminal department a sympathetic look.

"Yes." The face of the Yawang Langzhong of the Criminal Department turned pale, and he suddenly asked Zhao Yidao: "By the way, dare to ask Lord Shilang, how did Lord Shangshu get injured?" ”

……

……

Yang Shangshu's mansion.

The injured Yang Shangshu was lying on the collapse resting.

Sitting opposite him was none other than Dang Chao Zaifu, Zhang Xiwen.

There is also a chessboard between the two.

Zhang Xiwen dropped a sunspot on the chessboard, and then said: "Old thing, your bones are quite hard, and the carriage didn't kill you?" ”

Yang Shangshu dropped a white son and said with a smile: "The horse that killed Yang in this world has not yet been born." ”

"Heh, you're quite smart in order to avoid the battle for storage positions."

"What's smart, this is called Mingzhe to protect himself, Lao Zhang, do you think Your Majesty can win against the queen?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't know."

"Well, it's windy."

As soon as Zhang Xiwen's words fell, he saw a fallen leaf on the chessboard being swept up by the wind and going into the air.

Two white-haired old men looked up together.
