Chapter 656: Fishing with a Line

readx; There is no silence, the transfer of the internal guard is very strict, there must be a written request from the political hall, and then the general and the governor Shi drafts the transfer order, and reports to Li Qing'an for approval, the internal guard can send troops, if it is in Chang'an City, Hu Peiyun can go to Qianniuwei for help, but Hu Peiyun's meaning is obviously to carry out the task in the counties of Jingzhao Mansion, which is a bit troublesome.

However, it is not without speciality, because it is an extraordinary period, Li Qingan is not in Chang'an most of the time, so he gave him another adaptation, if there is an emergency, he can send troops first, and then go through the procedures, as for what kind of thing is an emergency, it is up to him to judge.

Hu Peiyun saw that Qin Haiyang was silent, and he also knew his embarrassment, Hu Peiyun was also anxious in his heart, and said: "General Qin, the other party must have planned it a long time ago, and the omen must be concentrated in the future, but the time of discovery is sooner or later, I suspect that someone will find out something early tomorrow morning, the situation is urgent, I hope that the internal guards can send troops overnight and rush to the counties to control the situation." ”

Speaking of this, he stood up and bowed deeply, "Please, General Qin!" ”

"Okay!"

Qin Haiyang finally relented, "Then I will send troops overnight to Jingzhao counties, and early tomorrow morning, I want to go with General Hu to see the princess." ”

Hu Peiyun was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "No problem, I will come to General Qin to see the princess as soon as it dawns tomorrow, and now please send troops immediately." ”

"Then I'll arrange it now!"

Qin Haiyang arched his hand, got up and left, Hu Peiyun had a little bottom in his heart, he sat down, looked at the manuscript carefully, and said to himself: "Who is this official surnamed Qi?" ”

At this moment, the clerk walked in with a few dossiers, "General, I found it!" ”

.......

Half an hour later, 5,000 internal guard soldiers divided into 50 teams and rushed to the counties of Jingzhao Province overnight.....

As soon as the day dawned, Princess Zhao Dugu Mingyue got up, as the housewife of the palace, when Li Qingan was not in Chang'an, she had to take on the affairs of the entire palace, and she was very busy every day. Not only is there a lot of trivial matters in the house, but also a lot of external entertainment, almost every day there are officials' relatives to visit, the court and local officials' relatives have, this period of time the Hedong war is fierce, she also has to call on Chang'an women to sew shoes and socks for the front-line soldiers, to appease the wives and parents of the fallen soldiers, in addition, she herself has two sons to take care of her, so she is almost busy every day without touching the ground.

At first, when the engraved thousand-year-old turtle appeared, Mingyue thought that her husband had ordered someone to do it secretly, so she didn't take it to heart, but just sent people to the teahouse every day to listen to the public opinion.

The result of public opinion is mixed, five points against, five points support, and a large number of people did not express their position, she only slightly felt that her husband's matter was a bit too hasty, a little anxious for quick success, but yesterday afternoon, suddenly there were two Rui Zhao of Xinfeng and Lantian, and the local officials sent it with great fanfare, and the public opinion changed sharply, and many people who supported it stopped crying, and the voice of scolding and disgust began to appear.

Mingyue also began to feel a little uneasy, Rui Zhao was originally the will of heaven, and it appeared by chance, representing the will of God, but three Rui Zhao appeared in a row, obviously it was deliberately for the sake of people, it would be appropriate to do so, Mingyue never asked about her husband, but this time, she finally couldn't help it, she wanted to remind Hu Peiyun.

As soon as Mingyue came out of her son's room, a maid came to report: "General Hu from the Intelligence Hall and General Qin of the Internal Guard are here, waiting in the guest hall!" ”

"Ask them to wait, I'll be right there."

Mingyue went back to the room to change her clothes, and then went to the guest hall.

In the guest hall, Hu Peiyun and Qin Haiyang were patiently waiting for the princess to summon them, and for them, the important surname summoned by Princess Zhao far exceeded the summons of the empress dowager.

Both of them were a little uneasy in their hearts, Hu Peiyun was a kind of uneasiness of dereliction of duty because of the negligence of the Intelligence Hall, which led to frequent problems and increased bad influences, while Qin Haiyang was uneasy because he sent 5,000 troops to Jingzhao counties to control the situation without Li Qingan's consent last night.

The sound of admiration sounded outside the guest hall, and the aroma rushed to the face, and Princess Zhao Dugu Mingyue walked into the guest hall surrounded by more than a dozen maids.

The two hurriedly stood up and bowed together, "Hu, Peiyun, Qin Haiyang, see Princess Zhao!" ”

"Two generals, please excuse me."

Mingyue waved her hand and said softly, "Please sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Princess!"

Although they thanked each other, the two did not sit down, the seats in the guest hall are not like Li Qing'an's study, there is a master-slave division, once they sit down, they are on an equal footing with the princess, although Mingyue sits at random when he meets the officials' families here, and the wives of the fifth or sixth rank officials can also sit side by side with Mingyue like sisters, there is no hierarchy.

Family members can, but subordinates cannot.

Mingyue also understood this relationship, she was not reluctant, she smiled and sat down, and the two stood with their hands down, waiting for the princess's question.

"The two generals are busy people, and I have no choice but to invite the two generals over, please forgive the two generals first."

Mingyue's tone was always very soft, although she only invited Hu Peiyun alone, but Qin Haiyang came uninvited, she treated it as if she had invited two of them, and did not reveal the slightest doubt about Qin Haiyang.

"I think the two generals should know why I invited you here!"

The princess's soft tone made Hu Peiyun feel ashamed, if he could have found out about this matter earlier and prevented it from happening, then there would be no need to let the princess worry like this, although the princess did not show any concern, but the princess summoned them was a worry in itself.

"I understand that it is Rui Zhao's frequent incidents that make the princess worried."

Mingyue smiled, and tried to persuade in a tactful tone: "Actually, I also know that you are doing this to carry out the general's orders, your general is very calm most of the time, but his mind is sometimes hot, and when he is hot, he will often be reckless and stubborn, and I am not afraid of your jokes, he will sometimes be angry at me for some family trivialities, and then I will give in, and afterwards he will calm down and blame me for why I don't insist on my own opinions, I mean, your general is actually very broad-minded, He won't hold grudges, and many times he will be more grateful for your advice, do the two generals understand what I mean? ”

Hu Peiyun and Qin Haiyang looked at each other the same, it turned out that the princess thought that it was ordered by the general, and the princess's tactfulness and self-blame moved their hearts, Hu Peiyun hurriedly said: "The princess's kindness is grateful, but this time it is really not the general's meaning." ”

Mingyue was stunned, "I don't quite understand what General Hu means?" ”

Qin Haiyang said: "This matter actually has nothing to do with us at all, the general did not give an order, and we did not do it without authorization, this is a conspiracy, someone is deliberately smearing the general." ”

"And this kind of thing? No wonder! ”

Mingyue suddenly realized, and she hurriedly asked, "What about ...... So has the mastermind behind this incident been found out? ”

Hu Peiyun said: "I have found out a little clue and is continuing to dig deeper, I believe that there will be something to be gained in the past two days." ”

"It's hard work for the two generals, but I suggest that while investigating the mastermind behind the scenes, we should also prevent new Ruizhao from coming out, and now there are already bad words outside, although there is a possibility of deliberate slander, but Ruizhao is frequent, and the impact is really not good."

The princess's suggestion was exactly what Qin Haiyang was looking forward to, and he hurriedly said: "I also understand that there can be no more similar incidents, so I sent troops to Jingzhao counties overnight last night to deploy defenses, and yesterday General Hu successfully prevented the appearance of a white jade tablet Ruizhao in Gaoling County, otherwise it will be four Ruizhao, we all agree that if we don't stop it, there will be a fifth, sixth and even tenth Ruizhao." ”

Hu Peiyun also said: "As for the rumors, the lowly position has sent capable personnel to the market to investigate, if someone deliberately spreads rumors, the lowly position should be arrested immediately." ”

Mingyue nodded, "The two generals are the general's most trusted confidants and favorite generals, and they are both pillars of talent, I don't want to say anything, I just hope that one point, don't arrest the innocent, that will damage the general's reputation even more." ”

"If you understand that you will not hurt the innocent!"

Although Hu Peiyun promised the princess such a promise, he knew in his heart that Li Qingan would never be so soft, and sometimes he couldn't solve the problem without taking a little thunderbolt method.

Mingyue saw that they already had a countermeasure, so she was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Then I won't delay the official affairs of the two generals, and when the general comes back, I will definitely tell the general the truth about the efforts made by the two generals." ”

........

The West Market returns to the wine shop, where the business is booming, every day there is an endless stream of customers, wine shops, teahouses and other places are mostly the center of discussion among the drinkers, and a lot of gossip is spread rapidly on this occasion.

The time has gradually reached noon, and there are more and more guests who come to the wine shop to eat, the second floor is already full of guests, the people are full of people, and the excitement is abnormal, a middle-aged man drank a few more glasses of wine, and he couldn't control himself a little, he got up and said loudly: "There are many shameless people in this world, but there is no more shameless than that person." ”

Someone jokingly asked, "This master, who are you talking about?" ”

"Who else, the one from Anthy! He wants to be the emperor and wants to go crazy, he does not hesitate to artificially create Rui Zhao and create the will of heaven, who does he think he is, can he cover the sky with one hand? Do you think we little people are idiots? He wants to be the emperor, but it's not his turn! ”

Some people didn't like to listen to the middle-aged man's words, and an old man interjected: "Why can't people be emperors, people are also clans, and they are not bad, and everyone can see the martial arts." ”

"!"

The middle-aged man drunkenly pointed at the old man and scolded: "You old thief is talking nonsense, my authentic Tang Emperor is in Chengdu, you remember, the emperor is in Chengdu, not in Chang'an, what is he, hum!" Worthy of being an emperor too? I don't know which Hu man gave birth to an illegitimate ....."

He didn't speak, and two young men with big shoulders and round waists immediately stood up next to him, and knocked the middle-aged man to the ground with a punch, 'Bang bang! Several tables were knocked over, dishes fell to the ground, there was an exclamation in the wine shop, the drinkers left their seats and retreated, making a mess, the middle-aged man was knocked out of two teeth, he covered his mouth and scolded indistinctly, two men stepped forward and gave him a few slaps, his face was swollen, one grabbed his hair, one grabbed his ankle, and carried him directly out of the restaurant.

At the top of the stairs, I happened to meet the shopkeeper who ran up to hear the sound, the shopkeeper was just about to stop the two, one of them took out a bronze medal and shook it in front of him, the shopkeeper's face turned white, and he stood aside at a loss, his legs trembled with fright, and he watched the middle-aged man being carried out of the door of the wine store and thrown into a carriage, and the carriage then left.

The shopkeeper walked upstairs, trembling and begging everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I beg you, stop talking nonsense, eat and drink well, those two people just now are from the Internal Security Intelligence Hall!" ”

The old man picked up his wine glass and said slowly: "Talking is talking, but scolding the superior in public is the private support of the Hu people, isn't this clearly looking for death?" Behold! This person is a spy sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

The same thing happened in the Jingyang Teahouse in Dongshi, where a businessman publicly scolded Li Qingan for doing whatever it took to get to the top and artificially creating Ruizhao, and he was immediately arrested by the people of the Intelligence Hall......

In order to quell the bad influence, the Intelligence Hall, the Internal Guard, and the Qianniu Guard all dispatched a large number of troops, and in one morning, more than 300 people were arrested for spreading the word that Li Qing'an deliberately created Ruizhao, which was extremely shocking, and soon no one mentioned this matter again.......

.........

A carriage drove into Chang'an Taipingfang, along the boulevard road for a mile, a turn, turned into a small road, this is a dead end, the front was blocked by a big mansion, the carriage stopped in front of this big mansion, from the carriage came down an old man in a white brocade robe, the old man was about sixty years old, tall and fat, with a pair of squinted eyes on his face, as if he could never wake up, he walked to the front of the house, looked at the sign on the wall, the sign said 'Li Zhai', this is the mansion of Li Kaifu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works.

"Bang bang!" The old man knocked the door a few times.

"Who?" Someone inside the door asked.

"It's me, Master Qi!"

The door opened, and a porter opened the door and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Master Qi, please come in quickly." ”

"Is your master here?"

"In! In the study room too! ”

"Hmmm! Go and tell him I'm coming, I want to see him. ”

"Master Qi later, I'll go."

The gate creaked shut, and at this time, a man on horseback appeared at the intersection about a dozen paces away from the gate, he looked at the carriage parked in front of Li Kaifu's house, disappeared from the alley as if nothing happened, found a secluded place, quickly wrote down something in a small notebook, turned over and dismounted, leaned on a big tree and waited patiently for the carriage to come out.

This old man surnamed Qi is called Qi Xun, who was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and is Wang Hui's confidant, who defected to the Southern Tang Dynasty two years ago, because of Wang Hui, he once made the Dali Temple Qing of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and just arrived in Chang'an two months ago.
