Shangguan Wan'er couldn't remember how she fell asleep, because she didn't know about the hypnotic process, and there was a fragment in the middle.

She frowned and thought for a moment, looked at Lu Jinping and said, "Why did I fall asleep?" ”

Lu Jinping looked surprised, looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said: "Mother gave me the sword, and after explaining to me, she said that my mother was very tired, so she went to bed by herself, - Mother can't remember?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't remember it at all after the memory was fragmented, Lu Jinping said this, she was at a loss in her mind, and shook her head. However, Lu Jinping said so, maybe there is really a providence in the dark that made such a choice.

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a while, then got out of bed, straightened her clothes, and said to Lu Jinping: "Then you are busy, I will go back to the dormitory." ”

Lu Jinping agreed, and quickly took her sword over again, held it in both hands and sent it over, saying, "Mother, you still have you in charge of the plum blossom internal guard." ”

Shangguan Wan'er knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to dispel Li Longji's doubts, if she regained control of the Meihua Internal Guard, it might be extraneous and prosperous, it was better to let the child take the lead, after all, the relationship between her son and Li Longji is now extraordinary, since Li Longji has already said that he will be in charge of the Meihua Internal Guard, it is not appropriate for him to take over by himself, it is better to be a carefree lady.

So, Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said, "It's still up to you to command." You did a very good job, my mother is very relieved. ”

Let's say, Shangguan Wan'er walked out of the courtyard door with interest.

Lu Jinping was sent all the way outside the hospital, and ordered the personal guard team of the Meihua Internal Guard to send her back to the palace.

After sending Shangguan Wan'er away, Lu Jinping came to the room of the personal palace maid again and awakened his gaze.

Stared at Lu Jinping, and said slowly for a moment: "What's wrong?" What about the Queen? ”

"Empress Wei attempted to rebel and has been killed. Now the emperor has ceded the throne to Li Dan, the father of my imperial brother Li Longji, and my imperial brother Li Longji has been canonized as the crown prince. Empress Wei, Princess An Le and their henchmen, as well as others involved in the rebellion, have all been killed. My mother led the Meihua Neiwei to take control of the palace as the inner response of the imperial brother Li Longji. ”

The eyes that still had no expression in the eyes still couldn't see surprise or worry, and they were still so deep that they looked at Lu Jinping like a constant sky, and finally said slowly: "What did you do to me?" ”

Lu Jinping shrugged: "I didn't do anything." It's just that. I don't think you should have gone through this troubled water, and you shouldn't have compensated Queen Wei for her death. Because, I still have a good impression of you, and I hope you can survive and continue to help me. ”

Ning Yan slowly lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment before saying, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"Let's tell you the truth, you are Empress Wei's henchman and bodyguard, and it stands to reason that Li Longji will kill you. But don't worry, I will ask my imperial brother for a favor and leave you alive. But you will be loyal to me and follow me in the future, and I guess only I can keep your peace, are you willing? ”

Gazing up at Lu Jinping, there was a touch of warmth in his deep eyes, and he nodded slowly. Only one word was said: "Good! ”

――――――――

Lu Jinping's plum blossom guards controlled the entire inner courtyard of the palace, temporarily prohibiting all the princesses and others from moving around freely. In fact, it is also for their safety.

After waiting for two days, Li Longji came to Lu Jinping's dormitory with a spring breeze on his face.

As soon as they met, Li Longji stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huang, it's done!" You have contributed greatly to this battle, and I have asked my father to reuse you. Take the order! ”

Lu Jinping glanced at a eunuch who followed him, holding a golden scroll in his hand. Lu Jinping was a little overwhelmed. I don't know how to receive the holy decree.

Li Longji smiled, took the scroll from the arms of the eunuch, stuffed it into Lu Jinping's arms and said, "Don't talk about those virtual ones, you just take them, I'll tell you." My father canonized you as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and at the same time served as the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion. This Jing Zhaoyin is concurrently served by me, and our brothers will work together to govern the capital of Chang'an. You only need to be in charge of the prison part. Your task is very heavy, Dali Siqing generally does not try cases, the case is mainly in charge of Shaoqing, and you also have to be responsible for the security and prison in the capital. I'm much more relieved to have you to help me, hahaha"

Lu Jinping was overjoyed, as long as he was allowed to continue to be in charge of criminal cases, he did not leave the bank, he really did not have the confidence to govern the country, or engage in some administrative affairs. Or do the business to be at ease.

Moreover, the criminal case is relatively far away from the political struggle in the imperial court, so as to avoid being suspicious and falling into the battle between the courts.

Lu Jinping said: "Brother Huang, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Li Longji was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "What do our own brothers say about those outsiders?" If you have something to say, just say it. ”

"Empress Wei's personal guard gaze, it's my woman, I want to ask for ......"

Li Longji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Needless to say, I understand, I originally wanted to kill this woman, since you said that she is your woman, I will leave it to you to deal with." You can do whatever you like. ”

Lu Jinping couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Then I will thank the crown prince." ”

"I heard that she has good martial arts, and with her to help you, you should be able to strengthen your wings. It's just that Brother Huang, if you are too obsessed with women, it is not appropriate after all. If a man wants to achieve a career, he must not be fooled by women, remember! ”

Lu Jinping laughed secretly in his heart, you Li Longji are saying this loudly now, but when you meet your daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, you will put this behind you. It is also because you are obsessed with the peerless beauty Yang Guifei that you were taken advantage of by An Lushan and ruined the great country of the Tang Dynasty. But that was years later. At this moment, Lu Jinping hurriedly nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." ”

Li Longji nodded and said, "That's good." In addition, I want to tell you that you are about to become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, so it is not convenient for you to live in the palace, so I have found you another place to live. I am now the prince of the East Palace, so I want to live in the palace, my prince's mansion is the best among all the prince's mansions, I will reward it to you, it is considered a reward for you, and I will not give you another Xiuzhong Palace, what do you think? ”

Lu Jinping hurriedly bowed his hand: "Thank you, brother Huang, you gave me all your home, what else do I have to say?" ”

Li Longji laughed: "Then it's decided, you take office as soon as possible, you just quelled the rebellion, there are many things waiting for you to deal with, and I also have a lot of things to be busy cooking, so I won't talk to you more." By the way, the plum blossom guards don't need to guard the imperial city, and they will be commanded by you as your personal soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji lowered his voice and said, "You lead your plum blossom internal guard to supervise the hundred officials of the imperial court for me, collect relevant information, and report what you find directly to me." I have some things I want you to do with the plum blossom guard, do you know what I mean? ”

Lu Jinping understood that Li Longji wanted to train the Meihua Internal Guard to become his spy organization, similar to the Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that this plum blossom guard is composed of women.

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother Huang, if you have any orders, I will resolutely follow them." ”

"Very well, then I'll take my leave."

Li Longji arched his hand, turned around and walked out. After walking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, stood up and turned back to Lu Jinping and said, "By the way, your mother Shangguan Zhaorong Niangniang has made contributions to this counterinsurgency, so I have reported to my father and canonized him as Concubine De Niangniang." I heard that she was not in good health, and she had been busy with government affairs and had not had a good rest. Now that my father has ascended the throne, I have become the crown prince, and I have assisted my father, so she can no longer worry about many things in the court, and she can live in the palace with peace of mind. ”

Lu Jinping's heart sank, which means that Li Longji has deprived Shangguan Wan'er of all administrative powers, although on the surface she has been given a promotion of rank and treatment, it is tantamount to setting her up in the air.

Shangguan Wan'er has been in the government and the opposition for many years, and she suddenly disarmed and returned to the field, I am afraid that she will not be in a good mood, but if she can avoid the whirlpool of political struggles in the imperial court, it will still be a loss and a gain. Walk the road of life safely, that is the best result.

Lu Jinping thanked Li Longji for his mother and sent him out of the hospital.

Then Lu Jinping called a team of plum blossom guards and rushed to Tongzhou to bring his personal maid Ye Qingqing and Su Sanmei to the capital. and sent someone to inform Yunzi that he had become a prince, and asked her if she was interested in moving back to the capital to live.

Li Longji moved very quickly, because the East Palace was readily available, and he didn't need to move anything at all, so it took half a day to vacate his prince's mansion and hand it over to Lu Jinping, and asked the craftsman to immediately replace the plaque with Lu Jinping's Zhongwang Mansion.

Lu Jinping found that the money allocated to him, in addition to his loyalty to the prince and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, there was also a generous amount of money for him to deploy.

Lu Jinping immediately understood that this was the activity fund that Li Longji had specially allocated to him for the Meihua Internal Guard, because it would definitely cost money to find out the news, so Lu Jinping made new arrangements for this money and formulated a special information network to cover major cities across the country.

Of course, building an intelligence network is not something that can be done overnight, and he is only just beginning to deploy it.

Ye Qingqing soon came to the capital with the plum blossom inner guard to reunite with Lu Jinping.

Seeing Lu Jinping, Ye Qingqing cried and laughed, saying that he had been worried about Lu Jinping, but he didn't expect him to become a prince.

Because it involves the privacy of Prince Zhang Huai and Shangguan Wan'er, this matter is only known among the members of the royal family, and it has not spread to the outside world, so Ye Qingqing does not know how Lu Jinping became this prince. Lu Jinping did not explain.

After Yunzi came, his expression was a little faint at first, he thought that Lu Jinping would not care about her when he became a prince, but Lu Jinping was still as affectionate as ever to her, which dispelled the worries in his heart, and a bright smile appeared on his face again.
