Father's ...... Actually on the way to Dali Temple?

On the way to Dali Temple in a carriage, Zhao Hongrun was shocked in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that in his impression, the number of times his father left the palace was only a handful, except for special days such as hunting and sacrificing heaven and earth, he almost never left the palace, and always sat in the inner hall of the vertical arch hall to review the chapters, which can be described as a very diligent king.

However, this time, it actually alarmed his father Wei Tianzi, Zhao Hongrun took a light breath, and felt more and more that this case was really involved.

The two carriages slowly headed towards Dali Temple, and Zhao Hongrun leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and glanced at the man who was sitting in the coachman's seat with Zongwei Lu Mu - Yan Shun, the commander of the Imperial Court Guard of the Vertical Arch Palace.

Just now, Zhao Hongrun had already inquired in detail about the situation of the Imperial Court Guard of the Vertical Arch Palace.

Yan Shun told him that the Imperial Court Guard of the Vertical Arch Palace was secretly prepared by Wei Tianzi before and after he Zhao Hongrun led the army to conquer the Chu State last year, and the fourth palace guard after the Guard, the Praetorian Guard, and the Lang Guard.

But to be exact, the Imperial Guard is not a guard, its composition is more like a secret agency, and now it is under the jurisdiction of the Inner Guard, called the Gong Guard.

Not many people in the government and the opposition know about this existence, but it is undeniable that the power of the Gong Wei Division is very large, integrating investigation, arrest, and interrogation, and even has the authority to mobilize guards and guards.

What's more, the Gong Wei Division obeys the orders of the Vertical Gong Hall and is attached to the jurisdiction of the Inner Chamberlain, which means that the Gong Wei Division can bypass the imperial court and go directly to the heavens, which is a new department with great power and transcendent status.

Compared with the Gongwei Division, whether it is Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, it seems that it has become insufficient, and the status and rights of the former are actually beyond the Imperial Court Division.

According to Yan Shun, there are about 500 imperial guards under the Gong Wei Division, and the chief officials are the left and right commanders, that is, he Yan Shun and Tong Xin, and there is no official position of commander-in-chief.

In a sense, Tong Xian, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, to a certain extent, also holds the position of commander-in-chief of the Gongwei Division, but there is no formal appointment title.

Gong Wei Division......

After adjusting his sitting posture, Zhao Hongrun slowly closed his eyes.

In his opinion, the authority and status given by his father to the Gong Wei Division are a bit detached, and a newly established department under the jurisdiction of the inner chamberlain should not be given such a huge power at once, just like an upstart, which is not conducive to the steady development of the new department.

After all, Gong Weisi is not a pure imperial court, it is a secret agent agency integrating investigation, arrest, and interrogation, and once it expands, the consequences are unimaginable.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Wei Tianzi will subordinate Gong Weisi to the inner chamberlain, and let the inner chamberlain restrain this "nouveau riche".

But no matter how you look at it, Zhao Hongrun feels that his father's move is a bit immediate.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Hongrun came to a conclusion in his heart: his father was anxious, or he sensed a threat.

Who is it? The murderous party?

Zhao Hongrun frowned unconsciously.

And just as he was pondering about this matter, suddenly the carriage slowly stopped, and immediately, the voice of Zongwei Lu Mu came from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, you have arrived at Dali Temple." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, put all the speculations in his heart behind him, and bent down and stepped out of the carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, he casually looked up at Dali Temple, but unexpectedly found that at this time, Dali Temple had been surrounded by layers of guards - compared with when he left Dali Temple to go to the Criminal Department, the number of guards outside Dali Temple had more than doubled.

Could it be that the Emperor has arrived?

Zhao Hongrun looked left and right, and then suddenly saw that outside the gate of Dali Temple, the great eunuch Tong Xian was standing there with his hands down, as if waiting for something.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun flashed a hint of enlightenment: It seems that his father is already in Dali Temple.

Thinking of this, he stepped towards Tong Xian.

At this time, the great eunuch Tong Xian had already seen him, walked a few steps to greet him, and bowed his hand and said, "The old slave greets His Royal Highness King Su." ”

"Father-in-law Tong is exempt." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand, then turned around and pointed not far away.

I saw that not far away, Yan Shun and Tong Xin, who were accompanying them, were assisting Yang Yu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to bring Yu Yan, the official of the Criminal Department, from another carriage.

Seeing this, Tong Xian suddenly understood, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, these two people are indeed the left and right commanders of the Gong Wei Division under my inner guard. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun no longer had the slightest doubt in his heart, and after taking a look at the Dali Temple, he asked, "My father is already in the house?" ”

"Exactly." Tong Xian lowered his head and replied.

At this time, Yan Shun, the left commander of the Imperial Court Guard of the Vertical Arch Palace, and Tong Xin, the right commander, had already brought Langguan Yu Yan to him, only to see Tong Xian coldly glance at the latter, and said: "Yan Shun, you and Yang Shaoqing, and put this traitor in the prison of Dali Temple." ”

"Yes." Yan Shun hugged his fists and escorted Langguan Yu Yan towards the mansion.

And the right commander Tong Xin stood on Tong Xian's side, and he didn't speak, just stood.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was inevitably a little surprised in his heart, after all, although Tong Xian is a eunuch, he is not a eunuch in the ordinary sense, he is the chief eunuch in charge of the inner eunuch, one of Wei Tianzi's henchmen, it is really inappropriate to stand on Tong Xin's side rashly like Tong Xin.

But the strange thing is that Tong Xian was not displeased at all.

Tong Xian? Children's letters? Hey?

Zhao Hongrun glanced thoughtfully at Tong Xin, the right commander of the Gong Wei Division.

As if noticing the expression on Zhao Hongrun's face, Tong Xian introduced with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Su, Ah Xin is the cousin of the old slave, and he defected to the old slave in the early years, and the old slave placed him in the guard, which happened to have an opportunity last year, so ...... Ashin, this is His Royal Highness King Su, you have to respect more in the future, understand? ”

"Yes." Tong Xin respectfully saluted Zhao Hongrun.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun also understood.

Nepotism, which cannot be avoided by any dynasty, such as the extremely powerful eunuch Tong Xian in front of him.

But to put it mildly, this also means that Tong Xin can be trusted as his own person.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate to express his kindness: "Commander Tong, you can walk around more with this king in the future." ”

"Yes...... Yes" Tong Xin replied with a happy face, thinking that he also knew Zhao Hongrun's status.

At this time, Xu Rong of Dali Temple and Chu Shuli of Daliang Mansion have also come over, seeing this, Tong Xian arched his hand and said: "The two adults are frightened, Your Majesty is waiting for the two in the mansion." ”

Hearing this, Xu Rong and Chu Shuli didn't care about the questions along the way, subconsciously straightened their clothes, and respectfully bowed their hands and said, "Please let Father-in-law Tong lead the way." ”

"Please." Tong Xian owed his body, took Xu Rong and Chu Shuli, and walked towards the mansion under the escort of Tong Xin.

Before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and his eyes clearly said: Your Highness, please take care of yourself.

It means that no matter whether Zhao Hongrun wants to go back to the Su Palace, or follow him to see Wei Tianzi, Zhao Hongrun will follow his own wishes.

However, Zhao Hongrun still followed with the guards, because he was very surprised that his father suddenly came to Dali Temple.

followed the great eunuch Tong Xian to the side hall of the main house of Dali Temple, and the group saw Wei Tianzi sitting on a chair in the room, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to knock on them.

"Flat." Putting down the teacup and casually saying at the same time, Wei Tianzi caught a glimpse of his son Zhao Hongrun among the group, and he was not surprised, looking back at Xu Rong of Dali Temple and said: "Xu Aiqing, I heard that you have caught a murderer from the Criminal Department this time, and this person is still the Lang official of the stolen punishment library?" ”

Xu Rong's eyelids twitched slightly, Lao Chen didn't dare to ask in detail, how did His Majesty know? In this kind of words, he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is true. ”

Wei Tianzi nodded and asked, "Where is the murderous party now?" ”

Hearing this, Tong Xian bowed beside him and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has ordered someone to take it to the torture room of Dali Temple." ”

"Okay." Wei Tianzi stood up and said expressionlessly, "Take me forward." ”

The group came to the torture room of the Dali Temple prison again.

When Wei Tianzi and the others arrived at the torture room, the murderer, Yu Yan, the official who punished the stolen goods, had been chained to the wooden shelf of interrogation by the jailers.

It may be that when he saw Wei Tianzi, who was wearing a dragon robe, step into the torture room, Yu Yan, who was originally expressionless, showed hatred in his eyes like wanting to choose someone and devouring it.

"Faint King!" He scolded clearly.

This is the first time Yu Yan has spoken after being arrested.

"Bold!" Tong Xian scolded with a sharp voice, causing everyone to come back to their senses from their stunned thoughts.

No one thought that this proverb would be so presumptuous.

At this time, Tong Xin had already stepped forward a few steps, raised his hand and slapped Yu Yan's mouth a few times, so that Wei Tianzi turned his head to look at Tong Xin - maybe this is the reason why Tong Xian took this cousin.

"That's enough." With Wei Tianzi's whisper, Tong Xin immediately withdrew his hand and took two steps back respectfully.

At this time, Wei Tianzi looked up and down at the murderous party with puffy cheeks in front of him, and asked expressionlessly, "Yu Yan, do you have any complaints about me?" ”

"Complaints?" Yu Yan laughed twice, and said gloomily: "Duanjun, your good days won't last long!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Tong Xin scolded and was about to punish Yu Yan again, but saw Wei Tianzi wave his hand and quickly retracted the steps he had just taken.

"......" Wei Tianzi stared at Yu Yan deeply, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, like anger, jealousy, panic, and uneasiness, which made Zhao Hongrun, who was watching from the sidelines, feel surprised.

After half a ring, Wei Tianzi took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Who is instructing you?" ”

Yu Yan sneered and did not speak.

Seeing this, a trace of anger flashed on Wei Tianzi's face, and he said with a gloomy face: "If you are willing to confess the mastermind behind you, I can spare you from death......"

"Don't be delusional, Faint King!" Yu Yan sneered.

Hearing this, Xu Rong, the Qing of Dali Temple, said coldly beside him: "Yu Yan, you were also a court official, and you were favored by the emperor, how dare you say such a rebellious remark?" …… Do you think that with the power of the imperial court, this matter cannot be traced? ”

"Let's look it up." Yu Yan glanced at Xu Rong, then stared at Wei Tianzi with hatred, and laughed: "Go and check, find out the reason for the beginning and the end, it is best to let everyone in the world know." He glanced at Wei Tianzi deeply, and said in a playful and mocking tone: "What do you think, Your Majesty?" ”

Opening his mouth, Xu Rong swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach, because he suddenly realized that the situation in front of him might not be something he could ask.

"Stand down."

Wei Tianzi said coldly. (To be continued.) )
