"Yuan Kuo, when I see Xuanhou tomorrow, I will inform him and let him go to investigate the case of Lushan Academy." Dai Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"Yes, sir." Yuan Kuo bowed in response.

Back in the house, Xuan Shijing plunged into the study again, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, he wanted to wait for Gao Jun to come back, sat by the bookcase, thinking about today's affairs in Guozijian, pulled a piece of paper, lifted the brush to draw a simple relationship diagram.

Sun Guangzu, Sun Yaoting, Xuan Qing, Xuan Lindao and his wife, and Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, wrote to the end, and Xuan Shijing added his name to it.

Xuan Shijing, a relative of the same classmate, held his chin and began to think, the rumors in the Guozi Prison must have been spread by someone behind his back, and why did this person do this? What's in it for him? This kind of rumor is definitely not made by Xuan Lin Dao and his wife, so for them, it will do no harm and no benefit, but this rumor is obviously aimed at this Xuanqing, and it is Gu Yuancheng who is not in agreement with Xuanqing

After thinking about it, Xuan Shijing wrote Gu Yuancheng's name on the paper again, and connected it with Xuan Qing with a black line, marked with the word "opposite", and then connected the other characters with a line to indicate the relationship, forming a relationship circle.

Xuan Lindao and his wife must have a relationship with Li Yuanjing, so the crux of the problem now lies in Sun Yaoting, whether he has any dealings with Li Yuanjing, or whether it is Li Yuanjing's party.

As for Gu Yuancheng, Xuan Shijing looked at the name that came out halfway, this afternoon in the contact between Guozijian and Gu Yuancheng, Xuan Shijing thought that Gu Yuancheng was the kind of angry youth, and he was also a person with a temperament, a little pedantic, the kind of college student who could wave a small flag and march on the street during the Anti-Japanese War, so this matter should not involve him, assuming that this kind of rumor was spread by Gu Yuancheng, he is a student with no power, no power and no background, if the person behind him is found out by the Hou Mansion, How he will respond. When Gu Yuancheng received Gu Feng's letter, his excitement didn't seem to be fake, such a person who values affection and righteousness would not use that kind of obscene means in order to attack his classmates who didn't agree with him.

"Long'er." Xuan Shijing called.

"Little Hou Ye, what's the matter?" Long'er, who was cleaning in the inner room, heard Xuan Shijing calling herself, put down the duster in her hand and walked out.

"Send someone to the country to find out where this rumor is spreading." Xuan Shijing said.

"Huh? Does the little marquis mind this rumor? Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "It's not, this kind of rumor is made up randomly, what do I mind if he does?" It's just that I think the person who spread the message is a very important part of our understanding of the truth of the matter, and if we find him, maybe the situation will be much clearer. ”

Long'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and responded: "Okay, tomorrow I will send someone to infiltrate the Guozi Prison, this kind of thing is so widely spread in the Guozi Prison, as long as you follow the inquiry, I think the result will be available soon." ”

In the dead of night, although it has passed the second watch, the Taiji Hall is still brightly lit, and there is still a small stack of folds on the imperial case in front of His Majesty Li Er, and His Majesty Li Er is very diligent in reviewing the folds, and Deyi is standing quietly behind His Majesty Li Er.

Seeing that the night was already deep, His Majesty Li Er still had no intention of resting, Deyi cautiously walked to His Majesty Li Er's side and said softly: "Your Majesty, the night is late, you"

"I see." His Majesty Li Er said without raising his head: "There are still a few folds, let's read them together." ”

There was silence again in the Tai Chi Temple.

"Report~~~~" shouted loudly, crossed the night sky, reached the Taiji Hall, and reached the ears of His Majesty Li Er.

Not long after, a red feather ran into the Taiji Hall with a letter in both hands.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Duke of Weiguo of Hanzhou, and our army in front of us has clashed with Tubo and won a big victory." The red feather envoy raised the letter above his head with both hands and knelt in the center of the hall to report it aloud.

Deyi hurriedly walked to the side of the Hongling envoy, took the letter, and presented it to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er opened the letter, this is Li Jing's handwritten letter, which is equivalent to a fold, the border of Hanzhou and Tubo clashed, a battle was decided, more than 20,000 enemies were killed, and now Tubo has handed over the letter of surrender, and the army of Tubo has also withdrawn from the border, and the letter also said that until next spring, Tubo will send envoys to Chang'an.

His Majesty Li Er saw this letter very clearly, Tubo handed over the letter of surrender, not annexed, and sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty next year is just a normal diplomatic relationship between the two countries.

"Tubo" His Majesty Li Er threw the letter on the imperial case: "That's it, this farce in Tubo should also end, pass on my will, Li Jing, the general manager of the march of Jiannan Road, has meritorious service in defeating the enemy, rewarding thousands of dollars, two boxes of pearls and jades, and a pair of axes. ”

For Li Jing's reward, money is insignificant, the highlight is the pair of axes, and when the thing is put at the door of the Weiguo Mansion, it is a symbol of power and honor, as for Cheng Chumo's reward, it is just right, Cheng Chumo's official position is not small, if it is ordinary, it is almost extremely difficult to rise further, this time with this battle in Shicheng, it is not a loss to be promoted to such a level.

Deyi bowed down and wrote down the will of His Majesty Li Er, and waited until tomorrow, he could go to Zhongshu Province to draft, and after submitting it to Menxia Province for review, Shangshu Province would send an envoy to announce the decree.

"Although it's late, but the pharmacist fought well this time, every time Tubo comes to attack, the soldiers on the border are powerless, this time, it can be regarded as a hard beating of Tubo." His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, this victory also relieved the sullenness that had been accumulated in his heart for many years: "Give an order to Wei Guogong, the war on the border of Hanzhou is over, let's go back to the court with the Japanese division." ”

"No." Deyi bowed down and responded: "Your Majesty, is it a will or"

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and thought for a long time: "That's it, let's write an edict for the pharmacist." After finishing writing, he handed it to Deyi beside him, and said to the Hongling envoy kneeling below: "Let's go again, and hand over my edict to Wei Guogong." ”

"Yes!" Red Feather made a fist in response.

Not only was the lights in the Taiji Hall not extinguished, but at this time, the study room of the Hou Mansion was also bright, and the light of the residual candles on the bookcase gradually weakened, and Xuan Shijing, who was sitting in front of the bookcase, was also a little sleepy.

"Little Hou Ye, why don't you go to sleep first, it's not too late to deal with it tomorrow, Gao Jun may not come back when he comes." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing, who was already drowsy, and persuaded.

"No, I can't sleep well if things don't come to a conclusion." Xuan Shijing reluctantly opened his eyes, and then rubbed his face with his hands.

"Even if Gao Jun comes back, he may not be able to bring back useful clues." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing helplessly.

"Who said there were no useful clues." As soon as Long'er's words fell, Gao Jun's voice came from the door of the study, and when he looked up, Gao Jun was dressed in night clothes, and his face was covered with a black cloth, and he had already pushed the door in.
