Immediately, Li Ke wrote a letter to Chang'an, and he played Chang'an quickly for 800 miles. By this time tomorrow at the latest, the Emperor will be able to see the recital.

After taking care of this matter, Li Ke and Qin Mubai were both relaxed for a while.

Both of them thought in their hearts: Someone actually took the initiative to help us clean up the mess and solve the last bit of trouble, comfortable!

Then, as if nothing had happened, the two symbolically sent people to the homes of the three deceased to pay their respects and continue their daily work.

At noon on the third day, the envoy of the imperial court finally came.

"It's coming down so fast!" Qin Mubai and Li Ke couldn't help but want to laugh. Perhaps, the emperor is also very anxious to clean up the affairs here quickly, right?

It was not an ordinary eunuch or a small official who came, but the living man next to Li Shimin - Yu Suiliang.

The living room is an official who often follows the emperor and records the emperor's words and deeds with pen and paper. A bit like a historian, a bit like a counselor, and sometimes the emperor's personal personal secretary.

Chu Suiliang is also a person with a great background. His father, Yu Liang, was one of the eighteen scholars in the mansion of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in his early years, that is, a member of his intellectual group. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the old officials of the Qin Palace, basically all of them ascended to heaven and lived in the best official residences, and they were deeply trusted by the emperor. Now that he is old, he is still the director of the Hongwen Pavilion in the confidential think tank department, recruiting wise people from all over the world for the emperor.

And Yu Suiliang is a rising star in the past two years. Yu Shinan's official secretary was once the "secretary" by Li Shimin's side, but he was old and ranked, so he could only teach Li Zhi to read in the harem.

Li Shimin loves Yu Shinan's calligraphy, and he is not very accustomed to being around him. Some people recommended Yu Suiliang to Li Shimin, saying that his calligraphy won the essence of Wang Xizhi. Li Shimin invited him to the scene to test the pen, and found that it was true, and immediately rejoiced, and appointed Yu Suiliang as the living room. He was by his side to help draft the decree and record his words and deeds for the sake of being recorded in the annals of history.

Therefore, although the official of Julang is not big, it is like a gong nail in the key part of a precision instrument, which is very important. Moreover, no one dares to underestimate this little living man, he accompanies the emperor almost every day, and he is mostly aware of the emperor's handling of government affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant of the emperor.

Li Shimin sent such a henchman to "announce the decree", which also surprised Qin Mubai and Li Ke.

had no time to think about it, Li Ke first let Yu Suiliang into the king's tent.

Yu Suiliang is about forty years old, with a slender body and a more delicate appearance, and a standard elegant scholarly appearance. Qin Mubai is more familiar with him, so they are both people who stay by the emperor's side, and they often meet each other but have no deep friendship.

After Yu Suiliang came in, he put public affairs before private affairs, and immediately read out the emperor's holy decree. Li Ke, Qin Mubai and the officials and generals of Jiangzhou received the order together.

The holy decree was written for a long time, to the effect that it was to "deeply regret" the floods in Jishan Mountain, and praised Li Ke, Qin Mubai, and especially the officials and generals in Jiangzhou for their hard work in disaster relief. And the reward is explicitly given in the holy decree. Li Ke restored the food that had been cut down due to excessive hunting, Qin Mubai rewarded Tian Wuqing, and gave the sixth-grade upper-rank "Xiao Cavalry Captain" commander (purely a military attache official position used to commend merits, which has the same meaning as Qin Qiong's second-grade Shangzhu State). The upper and lower officials of Jiangzhou, except for Cheng Songnian and Ma Kun, all have their own rewards.

After the holy decree was issued, everyone's hearts fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief - it seems that the emperor is not ready to investigate the Jiangzhou case in depth, and has adopted a method of "calming things down" to appease these officials who may have been vassals of Zhang Tianci, Cheng Songnian and others.

Only Qin Mubai and Li Ke knew in their hearts that the emperor was probably not compromising with anyone by doing this, he was appeased, but it did not mean that he was raising adultery. At this time, at that time, Zhang Tianci and Cheng Songnian were covering the sky in Jiangzhou, and the officials who did not vassal them would "not be able to mix". Now that these two people have fallen, these officials were originally like frightened birds for fear of harming the pond fish, but now they have been rewarded by the emperor.

The benefits of this are twofold. First, the emperor has completely subdued the hearts of all the officials and generals in Jiangzhou, and second, if it is really thoroughly investigated, who can immediately replace most of the officials in Jiangzhou and govern the state and county on behalf of the Tianxun herdsman? If that happens, it can be even more of a headache than a flood. Therefore, it is very likely that Li Shimin used a "delaying tactic". Let's calm these people down first, and then talk about it, as for whether they will be asked after the autumn settles accounts, it is unknown.

The officials and generals received the rewards and left happily, leaving only Li Ke, Qin Mubai and Yu Suiliang in the king's tent.

"Mr. Zhen must be tired from traveling thousands of miles, why not rest? Xiao Wang asked someone to arrange a military tent for you, how about you live hastily first? Li Ke said politely.

"Your Highness is too polite. Weichen was ordered by the emperor to do an errand, and he didn't dare to talk about his hard work. Yu Suiliang bent down and bowed in return, and replied humbly.

Li Ke nodded and smiled, and asked, "As a close minister of his father, did his father ask you to bring an edict to Xiao Wang when he was leaving?" ”

"There is no oracle, but there is a secret decree." Yu Suiliang said, "His Royal Highness King Wu, take the order!" ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

Yu Suiliang took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Ke. Li Ke took it, took it apart and took a look, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Qin Mubai and Yu Suiliang also became puzzled, but they didn't ask what was written in the secret decree. Since it is a secret decree, where is the reason for others to ask.

"Mr. Zhen, my father's secret decree ordered you to temporarily take the position of Jiangzhou Assassin, and will immediately send the Imperial Shi Qin to help Qin Cha investigate the cause of death of Zhang Tianci and others." Li Ke said.

"Your Majesty arranged it like this?" Yu Suiliang was slightly surprised for a moment, and immediately bowed his hand, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

"Qin Mubai, Your Majesty's secret decree is that you will temporarily take the position of Commander of the Makun Jiangzhou Prefecture and continue to lead these soldiers and horses to rescue the victims and build the embankment. If there is any abnormality, you can cut it first and then play! Li Ke received it again.

"Weichen Command!" Qin Mubai hugged his fists and promised, thinking: The emperor's tricks are really endless!

"As for the king...... Leave for Chang'an immediately. Li Ke twisted his brows slightly, his face showed a melancholy expression, and said, "I must also bring Quan Wanji, who was imprisoned by me......"

As soon as Li Ke's words were said, both Sui Liang and Qin Mubai understood - the emperor was going to transfer Li Ke back, hand over the civil affairs to Yu Suiliang, a close confidant who had just been sent, and hand over the military affairs to Qin Mubai temporarily, and Li Ke was not allowed to take care of the affairs here!

Because Li Ke and Quan Wanji had a big trouble before, Qin Mubai secretly told the emperor about it. Moreover, Li Ke hid Zhang Tianci's matter and did not report it, and the emperor also knew about it. It seems that Li Ke is likely to be "repaired" by the emperor after returning to the dynasty!

Li Ke, Qin Mubai, and Quan Wanji, who had set the ending a long time ago, were finally about to appear. The dust of the Jiangzhou case has settled, and after Li Ke was rewarded in public, it was time to go back to the emperor to "confess".

At that moment, Li Ke seemed a little worried, wandered for a few steps, and asked Yu Suiliang: "Mr. Zhen, why did my father suddenly transfer me away at this time?" ”

"Your Majesty's intentions, Weichen doesn't know." Yu Suiliang shook his head, obviously not wanting to say anything more to Li Ke. If you can't even keep it secret, then you won't be called a "secretary".

In fact, Li Ke and Qin Mubai both knew in their hearts that the reason why the emperor sent Sui Liang to take over Jiangzhou meant that he must have known the causes and consequences of everything, and he must have listened to the emperor's holy will and came to do things. Otherwise, with the current sensitivity and tension in the land of Jiangzhou, and with Li Shimin's prudence, it would be impossible to send a foolish person to take care of the aftermath.

Li Ke deliberately asked Yu Suiliang like this, in order to make the play more realistic, and it seemed that he was very hesitant and weak-minded.

"The monarch's order is like a mountain, I have to leave for Chang'an immediately!" Li Ke twisted his brows, and said softly as if talking to himself, "I don't know, it's a curse or a blessing......"

Qin Mubai took over and said: "Since His Royal Highness came to Jiangzhou, he has been busy with disaster relief and relief at night, even if he has no function, he has hard work. His Majesty the Emperor's heart is like a mirror, and he has always had clear rewards and punishments, and he must have been rewarded after His Royal Highness Xuan returned to the court. ”

"I hope so!" Li Ke smiled bitterly, "Since the last time I was impeached, I am now a bit like a frightened bird. Not long ago, I impulsively imprisoned Kwon Wanji, and in fact, I regretted doing it later. Although Quan Wanji's words collided with me excessively, his starting point was also for my good, and after all, he was my teacher. When I do this, I am indeed a little disrespectful to the teacher. ”

"Why does Your Highness think so much, don't you know when you go to Chang'an?"

"Yes, too."

Qin Mubai and Li Ke asked and answered as if they were acting as double reeds, and they had to make the informed Yu Sui Lianggan stand aside and be embarrassed - tell the truth, if he leaked the holy will, then he would definitely not be able to afford it; Don't tell Li Ke if you don't tell it, Li Ke will definitely hate him when he thinks about it in the future!

What a dilemma!

"Ahem......" Yu Suiliang coughed lightly to attract the attention of the two, and smiled, "Your Highness actually doesn't need to worry too much. Although you have gone a little too far in the matter of imprisoning Quan Wanji, in general, you have behaved very well since you arrived in Jiangzhou, and the emperor has praised you in front of all the ministers more than once! ”

"Really? Then the king will rest assured to go back to Chang'an, haha! Li Ke laughed heartily, secretly exchanged glances with Qin Mubai, and scolded in his heart: Chu Suiliang is also a fox, and he has to hide it if he has something to say. Although he said a nonsense that seemed to be known to everyone and was insignificant, he secretly reminded Li Ke that "there is no danger".

This Yu Suiliang is also a smart man!

Although this drama is endless, fortunately, there is no major deviation in the ending, just like Li Ke, Qin Mubai and Quan Wanji had planned before!
