The dust settled

When he got up the next morning, Ye Sheng got up and had breakfast. Seeing that Chen Chong, the leader of the Imperial City Division Luoyang in the courtyard, had already been waiting for a long time. After asking the family who manages the canal at home, I found that everything in the canal is running smoothly today. After yesterday's incident, the number of canal boats has more than doubled, and everyone is very enthusiastic and hardworking, and Ye Sheng is also very satisfied with his strategy of killing monkeys and chickens.

took the bamboo tube and walked into the study, it was still customary for Chen Chong to personally guard the door, and Ye Sheng sat at the desk to watch the letters sent by the Imperial City Division through carrier pigeons in the past few days. Today, the noble man of the Imperial City Division is very interested in Ye Sheng's own production. Yao Yu was very interested, Ye Sheng Ye Sheng answered the production process and process one by one, and at the end of the letter, Ye Sheng originally added a sentence The leader of the Caoyun gang held the gold medal of King Xin, and scuttled the boat to prevent the passage of the canal. When I was about to install the bamboo tube, my right eyelid suddenly jumped twice, and there was a kind of uneasiness spreading in my heart. Ye Sheng thought about it, there was nothing wrong recently, and after thinking about it again, he crossed it out again and wrote it again.

Let's talk about Bianliang, Tokyo, the palace is still so busy, and His Majesty Renzong is busy with official business at noon this day. Walk to the Zichen Hall in the north of the Daqing Palace. When he came to the main hall alone, he found that the small vermilion wooden box had already been placed on the desk. So he took out a brass key from his waist to open the sealed wooden box, and took out the bamboo tube sealed with wax pills. After reading Ye Sheng's reply, he then opened the bamboo tube from Luoyang, and when he opened the letter and saw the end of the letter, he suddenly saw that the leader of the Caoyun gang held the gold medal of King Xin, and scuttled the boat to block the passage of the canal. Then he seemed to think of something, and took out a key on the table, opened the box marked King Xin, and opened it from inside, only to see that a lot was written on it, and it was summed up that King Xin made friends with people in the rivers and lakes, and there were many people in the house. The spies of the Imperial City Division in the palace once heard the king say when he was drunk: "If the saint has no children, I am most likely to inherit the great treasure." At this time, Renzong's face became darker and darker.

After a while, Emperor Renzong walked out of the hall.

Raising his head and looking at the sky, he said to himself: "Believe in the king, believe in the king, you still have such a strong yearning for the throne after so many years." After speaking, he waved his hand and said to the little yellow door opposite: "Go, Da Ban call over." Xiao Huangmen had long felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and knelt to the side in fright. As soon as he heard the emperor's orders, he immediately ran out quickly to find Chen Lin, Emperor Renzong's companion.

After a while, Chen Lin came to Renzong. It stands to reason that he grew up with Renzong, and he was the companion of Emperor Renzong, and the two spent a hard time relying on each other for their lives. Renzong had already exempted Chen Lin from the etiquette of kneeling three times and bowing nine times in an audience. But Chen Lin is a person who talks about rules. Every time I see the emperor, in order to maintain the dignity of the imperial power, I still have to salute every time. Emperor Renzong also stopped at first, but later discovered Cheng Lin's good intentions, so he stopped blocking it.

This has resulted in the small eunuchs below, and the big eunuchs no matter how high their rank is. You have to do things according to the rules, and if you slack off, you will be punished by Cheng Lin.

After Chen Lin came to Emperor Renzong to salute, he stood on Renzong's side and listened to Renzong's dispatch. Renzong thought about it for a while and said, "I heard that you have a nephew who is doing a good job in the Luoyang Imperial City, so you can hand over this secret decree to him and let him act according to his will." ”

After speaking, he groaned for a while and made another order, "Ye Sheng is about to take a scientific examination." must have worked hard while preparing for the exam, and sent Ye Sheng two boxes of Korean ginseng, saying that he had worked hard during this time and rewarded Ye Sheng for replenishing his body." After finishing speaking, he returned to Chen Lin and walked back to the main hall, picked up the imperial pen and wrote. After writing the seal, he handed it over to the big eunuch around him to pass the decree. Then he took out a holy decree and wrote it and handed it to Chen Lin: "Mingfa Inspectorate, look at what Qingliu says." ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly in his heart that this time King Xin was going to suffer, His Majesty's careful eyes were clear to him, when the Western Xia War was about to break out, King Xin did such a thing. also offended His Majesty's favorite person, it seems that King Xin will not be able to stay in the capital this time.

The Luoyang Imperial City Division was near the Ming Hall where Wu Zetian had worked before, and Chen Chong found that the carrier pigeon had arrived that morning. After bringing the wheat grains and warm water that had been prepared for a long time to the pigeon, he came to the pigeon's side, took out the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, opened it, and immediately said: "Set up the incense table, set up the soldiers and horses, and get ready, the emperor's will will arrive soon." As soon as the words fell, I saw the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and then saw Chen Lin, and they all knelt down to listen to Chen Lin's message. The courtyard was suddenly silent, only Chen Lin read out the holy decree in a low voice. When he heard that Chen Chong ordered Qi Luoyang's soldiers and horses, he arrested all the people who blocked the flow of canal ships. When the division fell, my heart shook violently. King Xin, the emperor's brothers can't compare to this person, which shows this person's status in the emperor's mind.
