Chapter 631: Tu Temple (2)

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he looked around at everyone and said indifferently: "Nanba, is there still no news?" ”

Nan Jiyun didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately went out of class and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general has blocked the whole city, and the city is also searching from house to house, after this heavy snow stops, the last general will also send people into the mountains to search, but so far, the whereabouts of King Kong Jun or the crown princess have not been found." ”

Zhang Xun said: "Your Majesty, the minister has detained all the Hui people in Chang'an City, including Shang Jia, in the Shenlongwei prison, and the minister is sending people to interrogate them strictly, I believe that there should be a result soon." ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "All indications show that this is the Hui people making trouble behind the scenes, I never expected that this time the Hui people would be so shameless and vicious, and they would attack the crown princess and use this kind of subordinated means...... Where did this gossip in Chang'an City come from? Zhang Xun, spread my will, those who wantonly spread rumors, there is no mercy! ”

Li Mi took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Jiangning County and the crown princess have nothing to do with it, and this matter must be a thief deliberately spreading rumors, trying to provoke and incite the hatred between the East Palace and the King of Kongjun!" Please also Your Majesty to be clear! ”

The emperor was silent, but he slapped the table and said angrily: "I don't know, this is someone deliberately making ghosts and rumors behind his back? But in any case, things have come to this point, Kong Sheng's whereabouts are still unknown, so how can I believe that he has nothing to do with this matter? ”

"Your Majesty, this matter should not be so simple. If the culprits behind the scenes are really the Hui people, and their purpose is to rescue Mo Yansi and the leaders of the Hui tribes, then why would they take the trouble to involve the crown princess and the king of Kong Jun? ”

"It may be understandable for Kong Sheng, after all, Kong Sheng has a lot of intersections with the Hui people, and sometimes there are quite a lot of grudges. But the crown princess is virtuous and has no quarrel with the world, and she is involved in this matter, which is quite suspicious. Du Hongjian had just said this, and suddenly saw Zhu Huiguang hurriedly walking into the hall to report: "Back to Your Majesty, the Yuxianqiao Post House at the foot of Lishan Mountain sent someone to report that there is news of the crown princess!" ”

The emperor's figure shook suddenly, Huo Ran got up and said loudly: "How? Quickly send the messenger into the hall to reply! ”

Yuxianqiao Post House is an official post station, and this is just an ordinary soldier in Chang'an to report the news, he has grown to more than thirty years old, and has never seen an official above the seventh grade, but now he is in front of today's long live, the panic and nervousness can be imagined, seeing him speak tremblingly, the emperor was a little impatient, but suppressed the anger and anxiety and said gently: "You don't have to be afraid, no matter what, you have a meritorious report, and I will be greatly rewarded." You calm down and say slowly, how is the crown princess? ”

The soldier settled down and said respectfully: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the princess went to the Lishan Palace alone, ready to reunite with the prince, but she encountered a snowstorm on the way and fell ill in the post house......

"Did the Dugu clan go to Lishan Palace?" The emperor was stunned, and immediately laughed wildly: "I see! I see!! ”

The emperor reluctantly turned his head to look at Dugu Ying, who was stunned on the side, and sneered: "Dugu Ying, it is obvious that the crown princess misses the prince too much, and she went to Lishan to meet the prince without permission, but you deceived me and said that Kong Sheng sent someone to kidnap the crown princess, it is simply unreasonable!" ”

Dugu Ying was stunned and hesitated: "Your Majesty, minister...... The minister didn't lie half-lyed, and ...... at the time"

The Emperor suddenly snapped, "Shut up! Quickly spread my edict, with Dugu Ying led a thousand guards, took the guard of honor to the Yuxian Bridge Post House, and escorted the princess to Lishan Palace to reunite with the prince, since the princess and the prince have a deep relationship with the couple, I will no longer investigate her for going out of Beijing without permission! Go ahead! ”

Duguying hesitated but did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so she resigned and left. But knowing that he left Kong Sheng's mansion, he didn't completely come back to his senses, what the hell is going on, suddenly the peak turns around, and his daughter appears at the foot of Lishan Mountain, is this really a misunderstanding caused by his daughter's own initiative?

Li Mi, Du Hongjian and others stepped forward one after another to salute and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, since the crown princess has left Beijing to go to Lishan, the kidnapping of this genus is nothing, and this so-called rumor is naturally self-defeating." ”

The emperor smiled slightly, "Wait a minute, I'm a little tired, and I want to rest in Kong Sheng's mansion for a day." ”

Li Mi and Du Hong gradually exchanged a look and quietly retired. But Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xun were about to retreat, but they heard the emperor's gloomy voice come again: "Nan Ba, Zhang Xun, you two stay, I still have something to say!" ”

The smile on the emperor's face gradually faded, and he stood there with a complicated expression and was silent for a long time.

"The crown princess went to Lishan, but Kong Sheng's whereabouts are still unknown. There must be something strange about this matter, don't make a noise, continue to investigate and secretly visit, be sure to find out Kong Sheng for me, you want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death, do you understand? Kong Sheng can't find it for a day, so I won't leave Kong Sheng's house for a day! The emperor snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

The Dugu clan appeared at the Yuxian Bridge Post House, and it is said that he went to Lishan to have a private meeting with the prince. The emperor is actually skeptical, but for the emperor, this is an excellent excuse to step down and deal with the aftermath, for the sake of the royal family's face and decency, he had to turn a blind eye to Dugu's affairs, he arranged with great fanfare to escort the guard of honor to let Dugu Ying lead the team to Yuxian Bridge Post House, escort Dugu to Lishan, but also to break the rumors, block the world's suspicion of the people's mouth.

The emperor walked away, and in the corridor of the backyard, a black-clothed shadow guard appeared beside the emperor. The emperor said coldly: "Eighteen, have you ever found Kong Sheng's whereabouts?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid just got the news that Kong Sheng single-handedly broke into the Dayun Guangming Temple in the southern suburbs of the city with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, but his whereabouts are unknown after entering the temple." The black-clothed shadow guard hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this Great Cloud Guangming Temple has recently gathered a group of mysterious masters of the Ming Sect, and my generation of shadow guards is not an opponent, Kong Sheng seems to be seeking revenge alone, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck."

The emperor was stunned: "Is it the Dayun Guangming Temple of the mountain gate of the Ming Sect?" This Mingjiao missionary or Kong Sheng assured me that I allowed him to establish a dojo in Chang'an, how could it be so decent, but Kong Sheng wanted to turn his face against the people of Mingjiao? Something was wrong, I had a lot of doubts in my heart, so I quickly summoned and summoned 300 shadow guards to escort me to the Great Cloud Guangming Temple! ”

After a pause, the emperor said again: "Order Nanba to lead a forbidden army of 5,000 people to surround the Dayun Guangming Temple, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter and exit!" ”

The Emperor turned to walk away, but there was a deep light in his eyes.

As Kong Sheng judged, the emperor was actually more concerned about the face image of the royal family, and as for the safety of Kong Sheng and the crown princess, it was secondary. The whereabouts of the Dugu clan have been clarified, and now that the shadow guard has also learned of Kong Sheng's traces, the emperor's heart has gradually settled down, and what haunts him is no longer anger, but some kind of deep-seated worry.

In the emperor's opinion, if it was simply a personal grudge between Kong Sheng and the Hui people or the people in the Ming Sect, it would definitely not stir up such a turmoil. Among them, there must be a great secret that cannot be heard. Thinking that Kong Sheng had mastered the art of cannon casting, and that it was very easy to arouse the covetousness of many people, the emperor immediately became anxious. (To be continued.) )
