It's no wonder that King Chuding was furious, His Majesty the Emperor really couldn't believe him, and he also sent the celebrant eunuch and the Huguang Governor to check the treasury!

However, if you think about it, the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than 220 years, and Wanli is already the thirteenth emperor, and the first generation of Chu King is the sixth son of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and he Chu Ding King Zhu Huakui is the ninth generation of Chu King.

Li Mi originally wanted to meet the king of Chu Ding, and asked Ying to participate in the pursuit of Liang Tongcheng and the young swordsman, and took this opportunity to approach Zhu Huachi, the lieutenant of the auxiliary state, to observe this person, but he didn't expect to bump into Shen Zhangting halfway, and got such news, from which he deduced the true intention of Emperor Wanli to send himself to investigate the king of Chu!

At this time, Li Mi also understood that Emperor Wanli didn't care whether this King of Chuding was true or not!

Because the royal family affection is no longer there, this King of Chu is like other official positions in the court, whoever does it is the same, the reason why he asked Li Mi to investigate King Chu Ding is very simple, if King Chu Ding is really rich and has a heart of disobedience, then he will come up with the evidence that King Chu Ding is a fake son in time!

But if King Chu Ding really had no money and no intention of rebelling, the results of Li Mi's investigation would not be so important.

Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor also knows very well that this kind of thing is too old, and may not be able to leave any direct evidence, so he can only rely on confessions to decide the case, but the credibility of such a thing as confession is not high, which is destined to be a confused case.

After understanding this, Li Mi inevitably sighed that for Jinyiwei, especially for a famous commander like him, the truth is not the most important, but the most important thing is to benefit the emperor.

But he Li Mi is a person who aspires to become the first detective, if he encounters a situation where the truth is contrary to the emperor's interests, how should he choose?

Li Mi had already begun to feel that the identity of a secret agent in the name of the commander was not suitable for him at all, and if possible, he still wanted to go his own way.

After talking to Shen Zhangting about this secret matter, Li Mi also left the Shen Mansion and prepared to meet King Chu Ding, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Suo Changsheng walking over with a tired face.

Li Mi was also surprised, wasn't Suo Changsheng sleeping with a big head, what were you doing when he ran out at this time? The palace is so big, why did he run to the Shen Mansion?

"Changsheng, you don't have a good rest, come here to do something, I went to see it just now, the daughter of the Shen family is taken care of by the imperial medical officer, and the recovery is still good."

Li Mi thought that Suo Changsheng could not rest assured that Miss Shen was not at ease, but who knew that he replied lazily.

"I'm not here to see that skinny, half-dead girl."

Li Mi couldn't help but wonder: "Then what are you doing?" ”

Suo Changsheng pursed his lips and said: "Before, it was bloodletting and saving people, and I injured my Gu, and when I was sleeping, I encountered backlash, and I almost didn't let the Gu worms gnaw me clean, so I came to raise Gu." ”

Although Suo Changsheng said it easily, Li Mi could also feel the danger, Gu worm backlash is the Gu Master's life, Suo Changsheng even told Li Mi about this, it can be seen that he has a dead heart for Li Mi.

However, Li Mi still didn't understand: "Why did you come to Shen Mansion to raise Gu?" ”

Suo Changsheng knew that Li Mi would ask this, and at this time he smiled evilly and said, "Presumably you won't forget, the reason why I want to accept Zhang Huangting as an apprentice, right?" ”

Although Suo Changsheng suddenly threw out these words, it was a little inexplicable, but Li Mi knew the reason, Zhang Huangting was male and female, but men and women, in Suo Changsheng's words, it was a chaotic Xuan body, yin flourishing and yang declining, suitable for raising Gu.

Could it be that there are also characters like Zhang Huangting in this Shen Mansion?

"Miss Shen is also like this? Not really......" When Li Mi was saving people in the cellar, he had seen Miss Shen Family, and he had seen it without reservation, Miss Shen Family was not a person like Zhang Huangting.

Suo Changsheng also shook his head, lowered his voice and said to Li Mi: "It's not a daughter, it's her son." ”

"What? Shen Zhangting? No, if that's the case, how can he have children? Li Mi was also taken aback, although he also felt that Shen Zhangting was a little feminine, but it was not very enchanting, but just right, just to set off his elegance.

"Who said that he is like Zhang Huangting, Zhang Huangting's physique is unique in ten thousand, it is rare to see in a hundred years, how can he easily meet him, the reason why this Shen Zhangting is heavy is because he doesn't like women, but likes men!"

Although Suo Changsheng deliberately lowered his voice, Li Mi was still surprised, and although Shen Zhangting was a little careless, he didn't look like that kind of person.

"You can't talk nonsense, Shen Zhangting is a good official of the palace, if people listen to it, it needs to be unpleasant on their faces......"

Suo Changsheng obviously didn't pay attention to Li Mi's warning, and plucked his ears and said: "Where can I talk nonsense, just came here, my Gu worm is already hungry and thirsty, and the plan can't be wrong." ”

"Besides, I also inquired about the two little girls who warmed the bed, and everyone in the palace knew about it, saying that Shen Zhangting had an adulterous affair with the old prince, and it was not groundless."

When it came to King Chu Gong, Li Mi was inevitably interested, and pulled Suo Changsheng aside: "I'll listen carefully." ”

Suo Changsheng saw that Li Mi looked like a woman, and he also smiled, and boasted to Li Mi with some pride.

"King Chu Gong doesn't like women, it's no secret anymore, it is said that he has changed several Ji Shanguan, after Shen Zhangting entered the palace, King Gong fell in love at first sight, let him accompany him all day long, and let him read the story of Longyangjun in Wei Ce in "Warring States Policy" to hint at Shen Zhangting, that Shen Zhangting was also a celebrity at that time, and the two ......"

Li Mi naturally knows that the story of Longyang's good is from the part of the Warring States Policy, since there are even such details, maybe Shen Zhangting and King Chu Gong are really a little ambiguous.

But after all, it is a matter of interfering with reputation, people don't say right and wrong in front of people, no matter how long or short people are, this is not a gentleman's doing, so he warned Suo Changsheng.

"These are all hearsay from the people in the palace after tea and dinner, where can it be done really, this Shen Mansion is indeed shady, if you want to raise Gu, you can raise Gu, Mo Duo has many mouths and tongues."

The old woman Suo Ke handed over her son to Li Mi, although Suo Changsheng was not convinced, and the age difference between the two was not big, but in his heart he had already regarded Li Mi as an adult, so that Li Mi wronged himself, he naturally felt uncomfortable, and immediately defended.

"I'm like a broken mouth woman who eats melon seeds on the street and basks in the sun and gossips, the people in the palace said that there was a Ji Shanguan back then, who was originally the male favorite of King Chu Gong, and after falling out of favor, he was also jealous, so he recorded this matter on the living note, and the palace pavilion could find out, who was talking nonsense!"

"How can such a thing be recorded in the living note, it's ridiculous!" Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh.

This living note, in fact, is the ancient record of the emperor's words and deeds, the so-called ancient people, the left history of the record, the right history of the words, so to prevent mistakes and show the queen, the post of note, its origin is still the same.

Since the Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have had living notes, but this kind of thing about the secrets of the emperor cannot be seen by outsiders, and it is only used as a material for writing and revising the history of the country.

The Ming Dynasty also set up a living room or living order, followed the emperor closely, recorded the emperor's words and deeds, and even recorded the emperor's harem in which he rested, and the number and time of the rain with his concubines at night.

Of course, this is not necessarily true, if this is the case, the emperor does not even have a little personal privacy, where is there any authority to speak of, the person who wrote the living note knows so many secrets, I am afraid that he will die of fear all day long.

Although this statement is exaggerated, it is true that some people specifically record the words and deeds of the emperor.

However, these are the emperor's regulations, and ordinary vassal kings rarely have such a situation, and Li Mi couldn't listen to it, so he said to Suo Changsheng.

"You can be the same as others, this living note records are all serious things, where the court orders forgiveness, etiquette and music, rewards and punishments, ministers enter the pair, sacrifice and feast, fortunate introduction, four seasons of climate, household registration increase and decrease, and state and county abolition and other large and small things, only recorded by day, when it arrives in the dynasty, it becomes very simple, even His Majesty the Emperor is too lazy to get these, how can there be a Chu Palace."

However, Suo Changsheng shook his head and said to Li Mi: "Don't deceive me for being ignorant, the young master specially asked, there is such a eunuch in the palace to record the love of the emperor or prince in the harem." ”

"Which palace did you sleep in tonight, which concubine you slept with, how many times did you sleep, and the details of the overnight stay should be recorded in detail, and it is said that even the monthly affairs of the harem concubines must be recorded!"

Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh: "It's also ridiculous, so don't you have to offend the emperor, you can't use these to repair history and establish a biography, and there is no warning to the emperors of later generations, what's the use?" ”

Suo Changsheng also stubbornly retorted: "Who said it's useless, if the emperor is extravagant, obsessed with women and wastes the government, can the emperors of later generations not be able to set an example?" Besides, it would be useful to let the eunuchs record these and wait until the concubines are pregnant, so that they can calculate whether it is really royal bloodline and prevent the royal bloodline from being impure! ”

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, grabbed Suo Changsheng's shoulder and said, "What are you talking about?" Say it again! ”

Suo Changsheng also startled Li Mi, and said stupidly: "I just said it casually, if I don't let it be said, forget it, it's very ...... to have a cannibalistic face."

Li Mi shook his head and said, "You say it again!" ”

"I said that if the emperor is extravagant, he can warn the queen ......"

"It's not the front, it's the back!"

"Back...... The latter is to record the concubine's intercourse and calculate the time of childbirth, which can prevent the confusion of the royal bloodline......"

"That's right! I didn't think of that! Li Mi also laughed, pulled Suo Changsheng to no one's place, and whispered to him.

"Changsheng, I have a business to do for you!"

Suo Changsheng saw Li Mi's eager face, and he was also a little afraid: "Do you have a crush on which girl in the Shen Mansion?" I'll do it when I kill people and set fires, and I won't come to force good people to be prostitutes! ”

Where did Li Mi have time to gag with him, and told him: "You can raise Gu in the Shen Mansion with peace of mind, just say that you need a secluded place, don't let people disturb you, and then take the opportunity to search inside to see if Shen Zhangting has the living notes of King Chu Gong!" ”

Li Mi's investigation of King Chuding's life history has never been talked about to anyone, and although Suo Changsheng and Xiong Tingbi and others are close, they don't know that Li Mi is the emperor's famous commander.

Suo Changsheng was also a little skeptical, and said in his heart that this was a secret of the royal family, and it would cause big trouble if he listened indiscriminately, why was Li Mi so interested?

Li Mi could also see Suo Changsheng's questioning, and Shicai was also too excited, so he didn't explain to Suo Changsheng at this time, but just said to him.

"This thing must be done, I'll explain it to you again when I get back to the details, remember!"

Although Suo Changsheng was Li Mi's follower, it was the first time that Li Mi had ordered him to do things so seriously, and Suo Changsheng could also see Li Mi's seriousness, so he didn't dare to hang his son anymore and said to Li Mi.

"Don't worry, master, I'm also a gentleman on the beam, if Shen Zhangting really has such a thing, I will definitely help you get it!"
