Just now, Niu Xianke heard the conversation between Zhao Ziliang and Li Linfu in the carriage clearly, and after the carriage left, he said to Li Linfu: "This Zhao Zi is not simple, although he is young, he is a full little fox!" But with his current grade, Li doesn't seem to need to be so concerned about him, right? ”

Niu Xianke is the first official of Menxia Province, and Li Linfu is the first official of Zhongshu Province, and he also serves as the left servant of Shangshu, because Tang Taizong once served as Shangshu Ling, so the Tang Dynasty basically did not set up Shangshu Order, Shangshu Province is headed by the left and right servants, so Li Linfu is in charge of Zhongshu Province, but also in charge of Shangshu Province, and even the big man Niu Cyclamen in Menxia Province also looks at his horse, which shows how powerful Li Linfu is.

Li Linfu touched his goatee, he couldn't see any expression on his face, he shook his head and said: "He's a little general of Dingyuan, naturally it's not worth the trouble of the old man, the key is that he is now in charge of the palace ban of the left prison guard, this position is very critical!" ”

Even for the people in the same camp as Niu Xianke, Li Linfu did not dare to share his thoughts and thoughts, and a large part of the reason why he has such a high official position and power today is because he bought a lot of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, including the emperor and the concubines, and he can get the emperor's daily life and words from these palace maids and eunuchs in time, he can analyze this information, and then make countermeasures to win Li Longji's favor, and in the long run, Li Longji trusts him very much.

But now Zhao Ziliang has rectified the left prison guards and strengthened the implementation of the door registration system, and the channels for the palace maids and eunuchs to transmit news have become a big problem, of course, the left prison guards are in charge, and the right prison guards are in charge, and now the right prison guards have not been purged, and the palace maids and eunuchs can still go out of the palace to deliver news, but it is a little difficult to return to the palace after leaving the palace, because it is not easy for the palace maids and eunuchs to get out of the palace. When you go out to do errands, you must have a valid reason to get a door registration, and without a door registration, it is basically impossible to return to the palace.

Li Linfu said again: "This Xiao Zhao General is really not easy to get along with, don't look at his young age, in fact, he has a lot of thoughts, you can know if you are obedient, this is a difficult master, he just said very clearly, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the old man, so as not to be suspicious of the emperor." Although he clearly reminded the old man, in fact, he also wanted to say that he was a military general, and the old man was a civil official, he didn't embarrass the old man, and hoped that the old man wouldn't embarrass him! But the position he is sitting in now is really blocking the old man's way! ”

Niu Xianke also touched his beard and said to Li Linfu: "Since this is the case, I can't say that I have to move his position!" ”

Li Linfu frowned, turned his head and said, "But now his position is not something that you and I can do as much as you and I can do, and we can't control him." You can only find a way from Your Majesty".

Niu Xianke also felt that this was quite tricky, and he said, "Didn't you see his performance in the main hall today? Your Majesty is only afraid that he is favored and trusted now, and if we speak ill of him in front of the emperor, I am afraid that it will backfire. It is also easy to arouse His Majesty's vigilance! ”

Li Linfu thought about it for a long time and didn't think of any good way, he shook his head and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being, the old man will think of a way."

After having lunch with Chen Xuanli in the Zuixian Building, Zhao Ziliang took Bai Xiaode and others back to the Zuojian Guard's Mansion.

Afternoon. Zhao Ziliang took the four lieutenants of the Zuo Jian Guard's subordinate Changshi, the Records to join the army, and the four lieutenants of the Zuo Ling Zhonglang General's Mansion to the Imperial City and the Palace City again to inspect the guards and patrols of the city gates.

Coming to the vicinity of the Suzaku Gate, Zhonglang reported to Li Guangting: "General, the last general has something to report!" ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Zhao Ziliang stopped and turned around and asked.

Li Guangting looked at the others and hesitated. Zhao Ziliang beckoned to him, the two walked aside, and Li Guangting said: "When the last general inspected the imperial city wall and palace gate in the past few days, he found that there were several eunuchs in the palace who left the palace without a door registration, and they were able to go out by stuffing money into the prison captain of the right prison guard, but because they did not go back to the palace gate, the next day the last general found that they were in the palace again, which made the last general wonder, how did they return to the palace?" So the second general sent someone to follow one of the eunuchs, but found that he was not out on errands, but went to a restaurant, and then returned as if nothing had happened, he did not go to the palace gate, but climbed in from the dog hole of a section of the city wall near the Shunyi gate! During that time, that section of the imperial city wall happened to be unpatrolled! ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't expect Li Guangting to break such a big news, this is really an unexpected gain! He knew that if the expectations were correct, those eunuchs and palace maids who left the palace should have delivered news to some people outside the palace, as long as they sent someone to secretly follow these eunuchs and palace maids, they should be able to know who the people outside the palace were.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang suddenly remembered Li Linfu, and he suddenly realized that he finally understood Li Linfu's true purpose for looking for him.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I just know about this situation, don't tell anyone else, if General Ben is not bad, there must be someone behind these palace maids and eunuchs, don't touch them for the time being!" ”

Li Guangting arched his hand and said: "The last general understands!" ”

Inspected for an afternoon, the three palace cities and the imperial city were inspected aside, the situation is not bad, the left prison guards in charge of the palace city and the imperial city gate are still very strict in the inspection of the door registration, and the patrol has not found lazy situation, it seems that during this period of time, due to the establishment of the prison Cao, the deterrent effect of the guards under the left prison guards and the soldiers is not bad.

Back in Zhuangzi in the evening, Zhao Ziliang asked Rang to call Wang Can over after dinner, and Wang Can quickly came to his study, "General, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked him to sit down and asked, "How is the progress on Ashina's side, it's been two months, hasn't she approached Li Linfu yet?" ”

Wang Can said: "Coincidentally, Yan'er next to her reported that she had entered the Li Mansion again the day before yesterday, and had a conversation with Li Linfu, it seems that Li Linfu is very interested in her, just because she is Li Tengkong's close friend, and she has the identity of Princess Jiaohe, he is not easy to start for the time being, according to this, it will not be long before she should gain Li Linfu's favor."

The progress is still a little slower, but this matter is not in a hurry, Zhao Ziliang knows this very well, he nodded: "Okay, pay close attention, but don't rush her, there is no need not to contact her directly, you only contact that Yan'er for the time being." If Ashina contacts you directly, there must be something big, you go to see her, you must be careful when you meet, you can't be targeted by someone with a heart! ”

Wang Can arched his hand and said, "No! ”

"I called you here because I wanted you to do two things: first, you went to the city to find a slightly larger house, and it was also troublesome to travel between the city and Zhuangzi every day, and it would be difficult to enter the city if there was anything to do at night. It is also more convenient to have a house in the city, so we live in the city on weekdays, and every other day, we also come to live in the village for a few days every other day."

Wang Can promised: "Okay, my subordinates will send someone to find a house tomorrow, find a few first, and after they find it, their subordinates will take a look, and finally ask the general to make a decision!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded. He also said: "The second thing, there is a dog cave in the city wall near the Shunyi Gate of the imperial city, and there are eunuchs and palace maids who often enter and exit here to deliver news to people outside the palace, you take someone to check." Find out their identities first, don't alarm them for the time being, and then see who they contact when they leave the palace, if you can. Look at what they are messing with, but don't look at the content of the message if it exposes you. Other than that. General Ben believes that there must be more than one means of transmitting news from inside the palace to the outside, or from outside the palace to the palace, you are investigating in detail to see if there is a secret passage leading from the palace to the outside of the palace; whether people use pigeons or other means of flying in the sky to deliver messages; Whether someone transmits news from these channels such as aqueducts and moats in the palace, whether there is someone who enters and exits the palace gate from the front of the palace and the city gate to pass the news, we are mixed in the capital, at least we have to figure out what forces are above the court in the capital, and in addition to the court, whether there are underground forces in the market, these need to be clarified! ”

Wang Can said: "General, in the past few months, a certain has investigated the underground forces in Chang'an City, and by now it has been all figured out, and a certain is about to report to the general at this time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said, "Oh? Then tell me! ”

"Yes!" Wang Can immediately introduced the situation of the underground forces in Chang'an City, there are a total of four forces, which occupy the East City, the West City, Chang'an County and Wannian County, but these four forces are secretly attached to the nobles and ministers, otherwise they cannot survive, as for who these four underground forces are attached to, it has not been found out for the time being.

After listening to Wang Can's introduction, Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, this matter must continue to be investigated, and the second thing I just said is the most important, you can do it yourself, you must find out as soon as possible."

"No!"

After two days, the left prison guard and the palace gathered the subordinate generals, captains, soldiers, idle soldiers and soldiers on leave outside the Jinguang Gate, Chen Xuanli and Zhao Ziliang, as well as all the officials, generals and colonels of the palace were all present.

Today is preparing to execute Liang Chao, although Chen Xuanli is very reluctant and heartbroken, but he must not make a righteous act of killing his relatives and killing horses with tears, which is a foregone conclusion at this time, and it has already been said in the court, and it is difficult to change.

Chen Xuanli's woman Liang came to the guillotine with the support of the maid, and the whole person was already crying into tears, Liang Chao is her own nephew, and the only nephew, now he is going to be beheaded, how can she, an aunt, stand it?

"Chen Xuanli, he is your nephew, the concubine's own nephew, you save him, save him・・・・・・"

Although Liang Chao is Chen Xuanli's nephew, not many people know about this matter, and now Liang shouted so loudly in front of more than 10,000 soldiers under the left prison guard, so that everyone heard it.

"This stinky!" Chen Xuanli's face couldn't hold back, he got up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao, I have to deal with it, and then let this stupid woman make trouble, my face is lost, please preside over the execution!" ”

Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, General Chen will go!" ”

Chen Xuanli immediately strode to drag Liang into the carriage, and then drove the carriage back himself.

Seeing that noon was almost coming, Zhao Ziliang got up and shouted: "Liang Chao, the former captain of the Tonghua Gate!" ”

Immediately, Hu Cong and the soldiers passed down the words layer by layer, and soon eight soldiers escorted the unkempt Liang Chao to the guillotine and asked him to kneel in front.

"Look, let's see! This is Liang Chao, the former captain of the Tonghua Gate, who used his power to extort money from the people in the city, violated the access control system, and Gong Ren, the chief of the prison Cao Cao, led people to arrest him, not only did he not obey the law, but also arrested and fought with Gong Ren, so that the subordinates of both sides fought and caused innocent people to be injured and panicked! When General Ben took office, he said that this time it was true, the generals, captains, and soldiers should not be child's play, some people can't listen to it, now it's okay, the head is gone, what's the use of asking for money? If there are those who violate the registration system, extort money from the people, do not abide by military discipline, and neglect to practice, this is the end, who will not accept it? Didn't you? Okay, come on, execution! ”

With a "bang", the head fell to the ground, and blood sprayed all over the ground. (To be continued.) )
