Chapter 825: Freemasonry

"There is such a martial art? In this way, it can be explained that there are no other wounds on the body of the bowl and the envoy except for a finger-sized ecchymosis on the back, it turns out that the finger-sized ecchymosis is caused by force, if the murderer's martial arts are high enough, he can use his strength to urge and shatter the deceased's heart! ”

Lei Dashan said and hugged his fists at Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, without further ado, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire!" ”

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "You go to investigate the case, if there is progress in the case, you can go directly to the palace to report to me, without going through others!" ”

"No!"

After Lei Dashan left, Zhao Junsheng asked Li Ji: "What is the reaction of the envoys of all countries?" ”

Li Ji arched his hand and said: "There have been two cases of envoys being killed in a row, and the envoys of all countries are a little afraid, which is also inevitable!" After the news spread this morning, the envoys of all countries were worried about whether it would be one of them next, and the ministers had already made the guards in the embassy district more vigilant, doubled the number of sentry posts and patrols, and strengthened the entry and exit checks! ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Li Ji: "Li Qing should be good at appeasing the envoys of various countries, so as not to cause panic!" Since the murderer is a person with strong martial arts, those ordinary guards and soldiers are afraid that they can't help him, the area of the embassy area is too large, for those assassins with high-definition martial arts, even if there are more patrols and sentry posts, they can find loopholes and flaws in the defense, and they still have to deal with the masters! ”

Li Ji had wanted to say it a long time ago, but when he heard Zhao Junsheng talk about it, he hurriedly said: "I heard that Your Majesty has collected many masters in the Imperial Worship Pavilion, and I ask Your Majesty to send a few masters to hide in the embassy area to secretly protect the envoys of various countries and prevent any more envoys from being killed!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it to the eunuch who announced the decree: "Take this gold medal to the Offering Pavilion and invite the four of you to go to the embassy area to temporarily obey Li Qing's assignment!" ”

"No!" The eunuch took the gold medal and agreed, exchanged glances with Li Ji and turned to leave.

Li Ji immediately said goodbye to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, and followed the eunuch Xuanzhi.

Some of the masters in the enshrinement pavilion are recruited from the people, and the royal family provides them with the precious medicinal materials and a large number of martial arts classics required for practice, and they must volunteer to guard the royal family for at least five years, and after five years to go to freedom, if they leave, they must promise not to be the enemy of the royal family in the future.

There is also a part of the worship pavilion that is cultivated by the royal family itself, these people have been orphans since childhood, but they have good martial arts qualifications, and almost all of them are selected from orphanages around the country, but the principle of voluntariness is adopted, and once selected, they will be sent to the worship pavilion juvenile class to teach martial arts.

When they reach the age of fifteen or sixteen, they will be sent to the army for training, and at this time their personal talents will be highlighted, and some will show the talent of scouts; Some people show their talent for military command, and some people show their talent for charging into battle; Some are suitable for assassins, some are suitable for guards.

At this time, the royal family will arrange a way out for them according to their personal talents, and those who have the talent of spying on the enemy will be assigned special personnel to teach relevant skills, and often send them on scout missions; Those with military command and general talents were sent to the military academy to apply for the exam, and those who were suitable for assassins were sent to special organizations for training; Those who are suitable for being a guard will be sent to train strictly, and after passing the examination, they will be sent to the front of the palace to serve as the imperial guard.

Hua Mulan got up and said, "Okay, I have to go to Zhuangzi outside the city, I won't come back today, I'll take the sixth and seventh children, and you can solve the lunch and dinner by yourself!" By the way, how long has it been since you've been to Yutong? ”

"Uh······ It's been ten days! Zhao Junsheng touched his face embarrassedly.

"You go to Yutong's place to eat! I have prepared a bottle of Obsidian essential oil for Yutong, and you can bring it to her on the dresser! ”

What's enough for one bottle? A bottle can only be used for half a year, what should I do with the remaining half of the year? Zhao Junsheng muttered in his heart, but the Elite Kingdom only pays tribute to three bottles every year, and it is already very interesting for Hua Mulan to take out one bottle, is it possible to let her take two bottles to Wan Yutong, and she only uses one bottle herself?

After Mulan left, Zhao Junsheng sat at the stone table and ate all the melons on the side, and instructed a palace maid to bring the essential oil of the insects left by Mulan.

At this time, a eunuch came over to report: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Elite State Hui Yang has come to see you!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the essential oil of the obsidian, if that thing was energy production, it would definitely be a gold-absorbing weapon!

"Xuan!"

After a while, Hui Yang, the envoy of the Elite Country, was led over by the eunuch and bowed: "Hui Yang, the envoy of the Elite Peerless Country, greets Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and raised his hand: "No courtesy!" Come on, give Huiyang Aiqing a seat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng and Yan Yuese: "Why did the Qing family come to see me today?" ”

Hui Yang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to bid farewell to Your Majesty!" ”

"Are you going to quit? It's been less than a month since you came to Chang'an, why are you in a hurry to go back? Is it because of the accident of the envoys of the thirsty Pantuo and the envoys of the bowl and the country? Zhao Junsheng asked.

Hui Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister believes that the Lord will find out this case and give an explanation to the thirsty Pantuo and the bowl and the country, and it can also reassure the hearts of the envoys of the country!" The minister came to resign to His Majesty not because of this matter, but the minister had a last resort, and His Majesty knew what the minister's official status was in the Elite Country? ”

Zhao Junsheng: "I haven't heard of this!" ”

"The minister is the captain of the elite country, assisting the queen in handling the military and political affairs of the country, in fact, there is the queen, and it is not necessary for the minister to assist, and others can also replace the minister, but ······ It's just that the minister has another identity, and the minister is the queen's······ Husband! Before the minister and the queen got married, there were many men who admired her, even if the minister and the queen had been married for so many years, there were still people digging into the corners of the ministers, wanting to squeeze the ministers away, and then become the queen's new husband······

Zhao Junsheng suddenly sympathized with the husband of this exquisite queen, and it was hard enough to be a husband to do his job, if he was the king, if anyone beat his wife's idea, he would kill whoever he wanted, but unfortunately he was not the king, and there was a queen pressing on him, so he couldn't kill people indiscriminately.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and said: "Okay, I will allow you to return to the country, but not now, you must wait for this case to be solved before you can leave, otherwise as soon as you leave, the envoys of the countries will not be able to sit still, and I must consider the overall situation!" As for security, I have ordered to send men to guard the embassy area, as long as you don't leave at will, no one can easily hurt you in the embassy area! In terms of the detection of the case, the relevant yamen of the imperial court have also stepped up their efforts, and they already have a direction for detection, and I believe that it will soon be investigated! ”

Hui Yang stood up and saluted: "In this case, the minister obeys His Majesty's will, and after the case is solved, the minister is returning to the country!" ”

Zhao Junsheng also got up and said, "It just so happens that I will also go to the embassy area to see the envoys of various countries, let's go together!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

On the way, the two rode in the same carriage, which was a high honor for the foreign envoys, and Hui Yang was flattered.

The carriage shook slightly, and Zhao Junsheng asked, "Aiqing, do you still have that obsidian essential oil in your hand?" ”

Hui Yang said: "There are only two bottles left, Your Majesty ······"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "Being an emperor can't favor one over the other, you know!" ”

Poor people, too! Hui Yang sighed in his heart, and he said repeatedly: "Understand, understand! After speaking, he took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms and handed them to Zhao Junsheng, he also had some sympathy for Zhao Junsheng, as an emperor, he was afraid of his wife, and he was afraid that Zhao Junsheng was the only one in the past.

"Your Majesty, the minister only has these two bottles! In the future, the annual tribute of the Exquisite Kingdom will increase a bottle of obsidian essential oil, and it can still be done by those craftsmen to grit their teeth, and no matter how much it is, it really can't be done, not because it can't be done in terms of skills, but because the eggs of the obsidian are rare, if the production is increased, it will inevitably make the obsidian extinct after a long time, so ······"

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand and hugged Hui Yang's shoulder: "I'm not a person who is not satisfied, so it's decided, but the annual increase in the essential oil of the insects will be given to me separately and privately!" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands!"

Zhao Junsheng went to the embassy area to visit the envoys of various countries, and appeased them, and the envoys of all countries saw that the embassy area had increased the number of guards, and it seemed that there were more people in secret, and they were all relieved.

When leaving, Zhao Junsheng also specially advised: "Before these two cases are solved, you envoys should try not to go out, so as not to increase unnecessary dangers, and when the case is solved, it will not be too late for you to go out again, I believe that this time will not be too long!" Of course, I don't want to restrict your freedom, if you have something urgent to go out, of course the guards will not stop you, but you must pay more attention to safety, once something happens, immediately shout loudly, and the nearby patrol Jinwu Armor will definitely arrive as soon as possible when they hear the sound! ”

The envoys of all countries said yes.

The royal driver left and returned to the palace, but Zhao Junsheng did not leave, but changed into civilian clothes, and only went out through the side door with some imperial guards who were also wearing civilian clothes.

Since the capital was moved from Qianjing to Chang'an, the population of Chang'an City is increasing every day, but the time to move the capital is not long, less than two years, and the prosperity of Chang'an is not as good as that of Qianjing in the past.

Zhao Junsheng walked down the street, feeling the difference between what he saw this time and the last time, there are three more places on the street where houses are being rebuilt, and several shops are being renovated.

"Hu Cake, Hu Cake, Sell Hu Cake!" On the side of the street, a Hu man from the Western Regions set up a stall, baking Hu cakes and shouting loudly.

With the reopening of the Silk Road, a large number of Hu people from the Western Regions came to Qianguo, and they brought a new kind of pasta product, which was Hu cake.

With the habit of two meals a day at this time, two Hu cakes can make an adult eat for a day and a child for two days, while two Hu cakes only cost a penny.

Zhao Junsheng walked over and asked, "How are Hu cakes sold?" ”
