The news of the emperor's assassination spread extremely quickly on the night of the Lantern Festival, and within a few days, countless officials in the imperial court were on the fold.

In addition to expressing concern for the safety of His Majesty and praising the emperor for not being taken advantage of by the small gangsters, this move is to ask the Criminal Department and the Imperial Forest Army, who were responsible for security that day, to solve the case as soon as possible.

It is said that "not doing so is not enough to appease the anger of the ministers" and "not being so is not enough to calm the hearts of the people"......

If it weren't for the emperor who had been on the throne for a long time, I am afraid that he would be moved by this.

However, it is obvious that Zhao Yan, the emperor with a good reputation in the history of the two Song Dynasty, is a serious and calm emperor. Seeing the snowflake-like fold into the imperial study, he didn't even look at it immediately, and directly ordered someone to bring a brazier and bake a fire in the imperial study.

Afterwards, the ministers went to investigate the case, and Zhao Yan did not affirm the opinions of the ministers, but he did not immediately deny them.

Instead, he asked His Royal Highnesses King Qing and King Gong about this matter meaningfully.

In the face of this situation, the two princes must of course support the investigation of this matter, otherwise how can they stabilize the ministers, let alone establish authority to the people of the world!

Check, of course. But the key is how to check and where to start.

Now the only physical evidence is the two feather arrows left at the scene, one of which was taken back by Ye Yu on his own initiative.

The two feathered arrows left behind, judging from the surface appearance, did not show anything unique at all. Of course, this matter cannot be blamed on Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, most of these people are people in the government, and they don't have much to do with the things of the green forests and rivers and lakes.

Moreover, if the assassin's feathered arrows were not seen by the lone wolf, even Ye Yu would not be able to detect the difference between them and ordinary arrows.

If you can't find clues from the physical evidence, then find someone to solve it. Unfortunately, it was the Lantern Festival at that time, and the streets were full of brilliant lights, and pedestrians rubbed shoulders, and no one could be sure whether the people around them were assassins.

After that, the guards dispatched by King Qing and King Gong rushed forward very actively, but in fact, there was no clear goal at all, and the result was naturally empty-handed.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple joined forces for the first time, and I thought that there would be outstanding results, but three days have passed, and there is still no clue.

At this time, Zhao Yan remembered Ye Yu, but when Zhao Yan was looking for Ye Yu's figure among the courtiers, he found that Ye Yu was not in the court at all.

"What about Ye Qing's family, why didn't you go to court today?" Since Ye Yu gave up his life to protect him in the Denglou Tower, Zhao Yan felt empty for some reason as long as he didn't see Ye Yu for a day.

"Back to Your Majesty, Ye Shangshu has already asked for a leave of absence from Lao Chen, so he ......"

Before Yu Yunwen finished speaking, Zhao Yan stood up suddenly, looked a little nervous and asked, "What is the reason, was he injured that day?" ”

"Uh...... Precisely! ”

Yu Yunwen was obviously frightened by Zhao Yan's gaffe, but then eased up: "Ye Shangshu blocked that arrow for His Majesty that night, although he has soft armor to protect his body, but the poison on the arrow is very domineering, and it still invades the heart and spleen......"

"Bastard! Then why didn't you inform me earlier!? ”

When Zhao Yan heard that Ye Yu was poisoned by blocking that arrow, he immediately panicked, and he paced repeatedly on the Dragon Court, and then ordered: "Liang Ke, go to the Tai Hospital quickly, and summon all the imperial doctors to Ye Qing's house!" ”

"Let them inevitably cure Ye Qing's family, if there is a slight mistake, I will let everyone in the Tai Hospital be buried together!" If you hear no, go! ”

"Your Majesty is happy and angry, the old slave is going to pass the decree!" Liang Ke listened to Zhao Yan's will, and immediately took three steps and two steps in fright, and hurriedly ran out of the vertical arch hall.

Zhao Yan's thunderous anger frightened the ministers into silence.

How could they have seen Zhao Yan be so angry, and his majesty, who has always been kind to people, actually wanted to be buried with the Tai Hospital at every turn for the sake of a Ye Yu.

This situation is really too weird, the emperor's eldest son Zhao Zhen, that is, the deceased Prince Zhuangwen, was also terminally ill for a long time, and His Majesty did not say that he wanted the imperial doctor of the hospital to accompany the funeral.

Now he is so out of shape for the sake of a courtier, which really makes the ministers in the hall unable to figure it out. Even if Ye Yu has the merit of saving the driver, but that is also the duty of a courtier, why is he so respected?

Among the courtiers, Zhang Shuo and Yu Yunwen glanced at each other, and they seemed to see the essence in their respective eyes.

At this moment, there seems to be a vague answer in the hearts of the two, which is gradually becoming clearer and more thorough......

Seeing that Zhao Yan looked anxious and wanted to give up the court, Yu Yunwen stepped forward and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Lord Ye has already explained in the letter asking for leave that the injury is not serious, but his body is a little prostration!" ”

"Ahem, really!?" Yu Yunwen's words really worked, and Zhao Yan, who wanted to go berserk, suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

"The minister doesn't dare to say anything, after the court meeting is over, it's not too late for His Majesty to visit again......"

Yu Yunwen's tone was a lot more relaxed this time, the emperor had been out of the palace to visit his courtiers for a long time, but this kind of visit was not something that could be visited at will.

For an emperor's patrol, not only the forbidden army of the imperial city must be arranged half a month in advance, but also the Ministry of Rites must be notified one month in advance. So as long as the emperor walks out of the palace, it is a big thing.

Although Ye Yu's mansion is in the city, there is no need to visit him with such fanfare, but this can only be done after the ministers of the humerus can go out of the palace to visit the courtiers.

This is the sorrow of being an emperor, while getting the supreme right of the world, he has also lost his due freedom and leisure. This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties like to secretly go out of the palace to go on patrol.

As the prime minister and the privy envoy of the Privy Council, Yu Yunwen should have consulted with him. But today, he changed his past persistence and immediately supported Zhao Yan's wishes.

Finally heard a pleasant word, Zhao Yan's mood calmed down a little, so he returned to the dragon chair and listened to the ministers discuss the affairs of the government.

However, due to the urgency of the previous situation, it affected the hidden diseases and old diseases, so in the entire super meeting of the early dynasty, Zhao Yan coughed violently.

……

Ye Yu said that he was sick in the past three days, but in fact, he was not sick, but wanted to take this opportunity to solve the mystery from this assassination incident.

It was clearly no accident that an Assassin was able to commit crimes under the noses of the heavily guarded Ouchi guards.

Therefore, Ye Yu concluded that this matter, if it was traced from the surface, there would be no clues at all, and it would be better to call himself sick and not go to court, and it would be better to unravel this vague veil secretly.

The lone wolf has been out for three days and has not returned, which makes Ye Yu feel very worried, not because he is worried about the personal safety of the lone wolf, but because he is worried about the thorniness of this matter.

Regarding the news that Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have joined forces to investigate and find nothing, Ye Yu already knows. This shows even more that this assassination was not a rash action, but a carefully arranged layout, otherwise there would not be no clues to be found under the layers of blockade of the imperial city.

A few flames burst out of the charcoal stove in the study from time to time, and Ye Yu sat in front of the desk, sketching the relationship between the characters on the paper.

In ancient times, there was a distinction between divine judgment and divine detective, and the divine judgment was familiar with the laws and regulations of the current dynasty, and could interrupt the truth and falsity in the complicated case and sort out it clearly; The detective is to find the seemingly impossible clues and doubts in the ghost suspense.

This is the difference between the two, and although Ye Yu is not very good at solving cases, he has a lot of experience in guessing and reasoning.

But just as he was thinking about the name on the paper and the possibility of the assassination case, Beitangmo suddenly appeared outside the door: "Childe, there are many imperial doctors outside the mansion ......."

Tai Doctor? Not a lot? What's this about?

"Not a lot, how much?" Ye Yu was also confused at the moment, and actually asked such a boring sentence.

"There are not a hundred but eighty, it is said that on the order of His Majesty, the qualified doctors of the Tai Hospital have come......

"Not good!"

As soon as he heard that it was the imperial doctor sent by the emperor, Ye Yu immediately felt that the situation was not good, so he called Beitang Mo in: "Beitang, I want to ask you something, is there any way to make a normal person's pulse weak?" ”

"Just hold the iron ball under the armpit of the arm where you need to take the pulse, so that the pulse can be weakened!"

Ye Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Beitang Mo to go down and prepare the things he needed. And he directly ordered the ladies in the house to act, and finally he went back to the bedroom and pretended to be sick.

When these imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital checked Ye Yu's pulse, they all thought that Ye Yu was weak, but there were no signs of poisoning, so he only needed to recuperate without worrying about his life.

This result made everyone in the Tai Hospital, their tense faces finally relax a lot.

But after receiving His Majesty's command, they rushed to the Ye Mansion in a hurry, and they were afraid that they would miss the diagnosis and treatment time and delay their condition, so their heads would really be difficult to protect.

Not long after, Zhao Yan also rushed to Ye Mansion and personally visited Ye Yu's condition. After learning that Ye Yu was really safe and sound, Zhao Yan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

During this period, even the soup sent by Qiulan was personally served by Zhao Yan for Ye Yu. Zhao Yan's move made the civil and military ministers who followed him stunned for a while, and it also made the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital feel the rest of their lives.

And King Qing Zhao Kai and King Gong Zhao Dian couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that their father and emperor cared so much about Ye Yu. Because for them, their father has never cared for them so much.

During this period of taking the decoction, Ye Yu wanted to get up and drink it by himself several times, because it was against the way of the monarch and the minister. However, his wish was not fulfilled, but was ordered by Zhao Yan to lie in bed.

At this moment, although Ye Yu was pretending to be sick, he couldn't help but be moved by the concern of the half-hundred-year-old man in front of him.
