Chapter 26: The Mysterious Tavernkeeper
Inside the Tang Imperial Palace.
Li Ke, Zhao Zilong, and Wentian discussed the training matters of the ten-day covenant.
Li Mengyao had already gone out at this time
Lu Bu continued to supervise the drills of the brocade envoys outside, after all, he was not there for the first few days of training, so he didn't know the general situation, so he didn't join him, it was better to establish his prestige in the eyes of the brocade envoys.
......
"Now, to what extent have you practiced the light skills of the Jinyi Envoy?" Li Ke touched his chin and asked Zhao Zilong.
"Back to Your Highness, the ministers have almost fully mastered their light skills, and they will be able to fully use them in four days." Zhao Zilong said.
"Good... So, how is the practice of asking family boxing? Li Ke nodded, and asked Wentian again.
"Back to His Royal Highness, although I asked Jiaquan later than Brother Zhao's teaching, it is relatively quick to get started, compared to four days, the answer I gave is three days!" Wentian replied without hesitation.
"In this case, I can master all the content I am learning in five days." Li Ke touched his chin and thought. "What do you think is lacking?"
"Your Highness, I think what the Jinyi envoy seems to lack is experience, so in the next few days, I will ask a few to follow some officials to try it first, and record the whereabouts and deeds of that official within a day." Zhao Zilong replied.
"Your Highness, what Brother Zhao said is exactly what I think in my heart, why don't Your Highness do what Brother Zhao said?" Wentian also echoed and said.
"Tracking, recording..."
Li Ke fell into a short period of contemplation, he wondered if this was the case, could he find out who did it?
Suddenly, he remembered the sentence "no matter who he is" that Li Shimin said when he passed by him, and he thought of the possibility - there was a high probability that the assassination of him was someone from the royal family, and this included the imperial brothers and King Jing.
Realizing the trickiness, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said to Zhao Zilong and Wentian eagerly: "Let those who have been trained in brocade clothes form a team of three people to investigate an official, and each of the three of them will track and record together every day." ”
"From today, each audit lasts for three days, that is to say, each person tracks and records the same person in the three days, and then unifies the records sorted out in the three days to determine how many matches, and the person with the most conformities will officially participate in the investigation task after ten days, do you think this is okay?"
"Three days... Trinity... Find the right point... Wonderful, wonderful! Zhao Zilong chewed on the meaning of Li Ke's words and said.
And Wen Tian, who was beside Zhao Zilong, also said: "This method can not only distinguish who is more capable, but also reduce the time consumed, Your Highness is really a god." ”
Sister, what's not godly about this, isn't it normal to be admitted in a group of three?
"But it is so streamlined, there are only about thirty-five people who can participate in the mission, and the manpower cannot reach the same number as the ministers!" Wen Tian thought about it for a while, frowned and asked questions.
"You two are two of the king's most trusted people, and this king will no longer hide it from you." Li Ke looked at the two generals in front of him seriously, and knew that it was time to tell them some guesses.
"This king actually has a suspicion in his heart, and Zilong also knows one thing, it is that I put the son of King Jing in Chang'an City in the prison a few days ago, and his son will be executed tomorrow, if he wants to kill me today, he will vent his anger." Li Ke's words turned sharply. "However, it is also possible that this king's brother did it, and what this king has done recently should have caused a certain brother's dissatisfaction, so it is very likely that he was killed."
"This..."
"Your Highness's analysis is indeed reasonable, then our focus in ten days will be on a few of them."
After all, Zhao Zilong is still a guard trained from the palace, and he is still subconsciously resistant to the affairs of the royal family; On the contrary, it is a person like Wentian who is half of the rivers and lakes happy, what about the royal family, I only know that Li Ke, the king of Shu, is my benefactor!
Li Ke glanced at Zhao Zilong, Zhao Zilong's eyes did not dare to look at him, Li Ke did not mean to blame, he knew that Zhao Zilong's thoughts in the palace had grown with time and he was full of awe for the royal family, so he was just a little disappointed in his hesitation this time.
"Zilong, you don't have to lose your fighting spirit because it involves the royal family." Li Ke said comfortingly. "The people in the royal family are just some ordinary people, you must know that the prince is also a kind of official position, so checking the prince is also a power or obligation in the position of the Jinyi envoy, which belongs to the exercise of power!"
"Lord Wang... Is it also considered an official position? Zhao Zilong still hesitated.
"Of course, as long as it is below the emperor, it is naturally an official position appointed by the emperor himself." Li Ke was embarrassed, and he secretly apologized to the history teacher in his previous life in his heart: "Teacher, my current situation only allows me to say this, don't beat me, I can only rely on this to make a living." ”
"That's... What about the queen and the concubine? Zhao Zilong's dark eyes shone brightly, and he was full of curiosity, like an innocent child.
"......" Li Ke was speechless in the face of this problem.
"Brother Zhao, aren't you talking nonsense, His Royal Highness just said that as long as they are appointed by the emperor, they are all official positions, so they are all female officials!" Wentian said to Zhao Zilong with a look of enlightenment.
I always feel that something is wrong, Li Ke has a hunch...
Sure enough, Zhao Zilong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "In other words, will our Jinyi envoy also send someone to the harem to track and record in the future?" That's great, I haven't seen what a female official does..."
Knock, what about Zhao Zilong and Brother Zhao, who are usually cold and unambiguous!? Li Ke said he was stunned!
"Hahahaha... In the future, I'm going to be the person in charge of the brocade envoy to keep an eye on the female official, and then I can... Hey, hey, hey..."
Zhao Zilong has entered the YY mode.
"Ahem, Zilong... Zilong... Zhao Zilong! Li Ke ruthlessly interrupted Zhao someone's YY, and said solemnly: "Zhao Zilong, do you have the confidence to do your best to do a good job in the next nine days?" ”
"Ahh Back to His Royal Highness, Zilong naturally has it! Zhao Zilong said embarrassedly after coming back to his senses, but he blurted out the next sentence: "Isn't it just to look at the female officials of the harem... Of course I do! ”
Li Ke suddenly had a strong sense of frustration, and shouted in a black line: "Ask the sky!" ”
"In!"
"Drag this Zhao Zilong down and hit a hundred boards!"
"Order!"
"Your Highness... I know wrong... Let me go... The part of mine that I hit yesterday is not half better today... Just let me go this time! ”
After a while, under Zhao Zilong's sincere begging for mercy, Zhao Zilong was taken to the familiar wooden stake yesterday by two brocade envoys.
"Hahaha, it's you, what, you see that we are so familiar, let's start this time!" Zhao Zilong was pressed on the stake, took a closer look at the two of them, and found that the two brocade envoys also happened to be the two yesterday, so he smiled.
"It's... Yes, yes! Jin Yi said cheerfully.
"Really... I will definitely be in the future..."Zhao Zilong almost burst into tears with excitement.
"But there is no joke in the army!"
Jinyi made Jia say again, and slapped Zhao Zilong's ass impartially.
"Ahh
"Ahh In the future, I will... Yes... Will definitely pay back... Yes! ”
Zhao Zilong shouted this sentence in humiliation, and silently endured the pain of flesh and skin, like a strong man!
