Chapter 42: Bird Frost

Looking at Shangguan Jin's back, He Ziming squirmed his lips and said, "The emperor really just let her go?" Do you want to arrange a few people to follow and kill them all? ”

Li Guanqi glanced at He Ziming, shook his head and said: "Since I want to let her go, I naturally really want to let her go, if I send someone to follow her, it will not be the way of the king." Seeing that He Ziming was a little embarrassed, he continued: "But if you can have this kind of thought, it shows that you still have some political minds, and you are not a martial artist with developed limbs and a simple mind, and it is not in vain that I trust you." ”

He Ziming scratched his head and said: "The minister was originally very dull, but he was used to seeing the intrigue between other guards, and he unconsciously learned some survival skills. ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "There should be some survival skills." You just said that you want to arrange a few people to follow, and you already have a lot of people under you? ”

Seeing Li Guanqi asking about business, He Ziming hurriedly bowed down and said, "According to the emperor's secret decree, the minister will pay attention to the available candidates among the internal guards. According to the observation of the ministers, most of the Ouchi guards were still loyal to the emperor, but some were forced by the situation and some chose to join the circle of influence of Fan Jian, who was in charge of their own wealth. However, Fan Jian has always been high-flying, and there are many dissatisfied with him among the guards, so the minister observes and selects from these people, and to this day, the minister has recruited 56 people who have sworn allegiance to the emperor. ”

"How many guards are there?" Li Guanqi didn't have a clear idea of whether there were more or fewer fifty-six people, so he asked this question.

"At present, there are a total of 640 registered guards, divided into three shifts, and they are on duty in a rotational manner." He Ziming still did a lot of homework, and he answered Li Guanqi's questions fluently.

"That's less than a tenth. There are still fewer people, and you have to keep trying. Li Guanqi was difficult to be satisfied with such a result, and was afraid that his emotions would have a bad impact on He Ziming, so he paused for a moment and said: "Of course, first of all, we must ensure the absolute loyalty of the internal defenders. ”

"Yes. The emperor is relieved. He Ziming replied in a deep voice.

Li Guanqi paced back and forth in the pavilion for two steps, and said, "I have one more thing, no, two things for you to do. Take the opportunity to see what your men are capable of. ”

"Your Majesty, please command." When He Ziming heard that there was a new mission, his eyes lit up.

Since the last secret meeting of the Prime Minister's Office, Zu Donglai has made up his mind to completely go against Li Guanqi. But on the surface, he still acted as always, and went to the Shangshu Provincial Council every day as usual, and the study of punctuation marks did not fall at all. I don't know, I think that Zu Donglai and Li Guanqi have a good relationship with the monarch and the minister, and they can't see that they are two people who regard each other as mortal enemies.

After dinner that day, Zu Donglai walked to the garden in the backyard to relax, and just a few steps later, he saw Zu Tianyi trotting all the way over with a happy face. Zu Donglai couldn't help frowning and said, "You are still an important minister of the court, what do you look like if you are frizzy?" I didn't see you at dinner just now, so where did you go? The tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.

Zu Tianyi didn't care, but took out a porcelain bottle from his arms with a smile and said, "I'm going to get this." ”

Zu Dong glanced at the inconspicuous bottle and said, "What is it here that makes you happy to be like this?" It's not going to be that unclean thing that Hu Ruoyu is worthy of, right? "It is not a secret that Zu Tianyi found Hu Ruoyu to prepare aphrodisiacs in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Zu Donglai asked this question.

Zu Tianyi smiled awkwardly and said, "The thing is indeed Hu Ruoyu's match, but it is not that kind of medicine, but something that can help my father achieve great things." ”

Zu Donglai was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What is it, and why is it involved in achieving great things?" ”

Zu Tianyi carefully uncorked the bottle and said mysteriously: "This is the medicine that I asked Hu Ruoyu to practice for the one in the palace. According to Hu Ruoyu, it is called bird frost, which is refined from the dung of hundreds of birds, and there is no cure. What's even more rare is that this medicine melts when it encounters water, and it is colorless and odorless, even if it can't be detected with a silver needle, it can be said that it can't be prevented. ”

Although Zu Donglai said that he wanted to harm Li Guanqi, but suddenly seeing such a poison, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, he really didn't expect that Zu Tianyi had already carried out the plan to this point, and he calmed down before saying: "Using poison is not the best policy, you will be ganged on the spot, and you will not be suspicious." ”

Zu Tian hurriedly said: "Father, rest assured, this medicine will not attack on the spot, but will take effect for seven days, and no one can think of it." ”

Zu Donglai's heart fluttered wildly, but he couldn't show his timidity in front of his son, so he said calmly: "You put this thing away carefully, and then consider whether to use it later." The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with Hu Ruoyu. ”

"Deal with Hu Ruoyu?" Zu Tianyi felt very strange when he heard this.

Zu Donglai stretched out his hand and nodded Zu Tianyi's head and said, "When will you be able to use your brain?" You asked him for such a poisonous thing, can he not think of what it is used for? ”

Zu Tian smiled indifferently and said: "Lao Hu is notoriously confused, I told him that I had a crush on a woman, and this medicine was used to poison the woman's husband, and he believed it at that time. ”

"He's confused? I think you're really confused. What is Tai Hospital? That is the place that can exclude people and persecute people, Hu Ruoyu can stay in the hospital for more than 20 years and be unscathed, can this person be a simple person? Zu Donglai said angrily.

Zu Tianyi frowned, half-turned around and said, "Then according to my father, do you want to get rid of Lao Hu?" ”

Zu Dong took two steps back and forth, thought for a while and said: "Although Hu Ruoyu's status is not high, he is a very popular person in the Tai Hospital, and he is a very familiar person in the palace, although it is not difficult to get rid of him, it is also easy to involve unnecessary trouble!" ”

"Then I'll go and give him some money, and then scare and scare him, and let him keep his mouth shut!" Zu Tianyi said impatiently.

"When will you be able to use your brain to speak again?" Zu Donglai pointed at Zu Tianyi with his finger and said, "There is nothing to do, you are sending money and intimidating, Hu Ruoyu understands what is going on no matter how stupid he is." ”

Zu Tian hid backwards and said, "Then what should we do with him?" ”
