After more than an hour of busy work in the glass-making room where the Imperial Terrace was made, Wu You and the craftsmen were still unable to plate mercury on the uneven glass surface. The birth of a technique can not be formed overnight, first of all, there is a problem with the glass, it is easy to make an uneven glass, and it is even more difficult to make a flat one.

Liu Yu looked at the shape of the glass, and the mirror he made was also a Halu Ha mirror, but he was embarrassed to say it in order not to hit Wu You.

Liu Yulai actually had something to say to Wu You, or to ask for something, that is, to let him show a person without a trace as a national teacher, and that person was Feng Chengdi, the right-hand man of the Third Prince, the lieutenant of the Yamen of the Defense Division of the Nehuamen.

"Why do you kid want to let Xiao Lao'er show a look at someone you never know, and do what you say, do you want to harm people?" Wu You was a little skeptical.

"Just take it as a favor, remind him, and I hope you keep it a secret." Liu Yu said, "Otherwise, you don't want me to help you make anything good in the future." ”

Wu You didn't take it too seriously, even if he agreed.

After explaining the matter, Wu You continued to tinker with his glass mirror there, but Liu Yu had to rush home. When they got home, Xu Xuanzhu and the Han sisters hadn't eaten dinner yet, saying that they were waiting for him to come back to eat together, and the meals were all buckled with bowls, and when they were opened, they were full of aroma. A hot pot was also added.

Xu Xuanzhu explained: "These are all hand-made by the sister of the Sui family, and the husband tastes them. ”

Sui Yu has come to the house more and more frequently, and now that the kitchen is burning, it is more justifiable to send food to this side, and this meal has to be prepared by himself at night, which takes a lot of thought.

The family was happily sitting together to eat, Xu Xuanzhu said: "Husband, do you know, there are thieves in our house today, fortunately, the guards who stayed behind found out early, the property was not lost, and there are many thieves who come, it seems that we should be careful in the future." ”

Liu Yuxin said that the dignified Chang'an City entered the thieves, or the general's mansion, and the matter was not simple. Could it be ...... Liu Liniang's people sent by King Huai to inquire about the news? In the past, he always felt that it was appropriate to stay alone in the chess building, but now he finds that there are dangers around him, and even his home may not be safe.

"Let the guards Lu strengthen their vigilance, especially the guards at night, I'm afraid that those thieves will be worried about it after they don't succeed."

On April 27, the sacrificial ceremony on the first day of the fifth month was getting closer and closer, and the time available to Liu Yu was getting shorter and shorter. Through Xu Rong's confession, the sentinels of the Imperial Forest Army locked on some second-line targets, and the news that was tracked back would be summarized to Liu Yu, and then Liu Yu would sort it out and hand it over to Han Sheng, who would report it to the emperor.

Liu Yu didn't have any big waves on this side, Xu Han looked for his son but found out the turmoil, the news of Xu Rong's disappearance framed by the Imperial Forest Army and the vassal kings made Xu Han very annoyed, and after a day, he compiled a "suspected guilty list" with Yang Yanqian, the imperial historian, and the ministers listed included He Mao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the emperor asked for a thorough investigation. The emperor was furious and scolded Xu Han in the court, roughly saying that he was old and confused, and his son would have hysteria and bite people indiscriminately when he lost it, and ordered Xu Han to close the door and not interfere with Yang Yanqian's investigation again, and let Yang Yanqian re-investigate thoroughly.

The old emperor used the method of thief and thief handy, this old emperor don't look at cowardice, sometimes he can't bear it, but he is also a ruthless person who uses means when he attacks. But it was his avoidance that made King Huai take advantage of the situation to become bigger, and now it is very difficult to make up for the loss of the sheep.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Yanqian redrafted a "list of suspected guilty", and Yang Yanqian very familiarly framed the vassal kings except for King Huai and several powerful vassal kings, saying that they were the biggest suspects in kidnapping Xu Rong. The emperor didn't say anything, but ordered the investigation to continue.

April 27 was a simple day for Liu Yu, except for a trip to the singing and dancing workshop in the morning to watch Sima Xuan'er dance, the rest of the time was spent in the study at home. Sima Xuan'er didn't feel too surprised by Liu Yu's appearance, and practiced dancing by herself, but Liu Yu watched like an audience for more than an hour, and the two didn't talk until Liu Yu was called away by He Mao, Sima Xuan'er stopped dancing and looked at the direction where Liu Yu was going in a daze.

"The emperor wants us to investigate this case as soon as possible, preferably before the sacrificial ceremony." He Mao said solemnly, "However, we have little evidence at hand, even if the people involved in this matter are Xu Rong's words, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not frame Zhongliang." I don't know what Brother Liu thinks? ”

Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "Now that the sacrificial ceremony is about to be held, the emperor wants to crown the son as the king, and stability at this time should be the top priority." In Xu Rong's confession, it was said that many people in the city's defense department and yamen had colluded with King Huai, and I think that whether it is the truth or the false accusation of Zhongliang, it is always necessary to play the emperor first, temporarily transfer these officials, and it is not too late to thoroughly investigate the truth in the future. ”

He Mao felt justified and nodded: "Then Brother Liu will draw up a list." ”

Liu Yu hastily drew up a list, most of which were the characters mentioned in Xu Rong's confession, except for Feng Chengdi's name. There are also many people in this list who are related to the three princes, and playing to the emperor will have an unexpected effect.

Sure enough, on the second day, April 28, the emperor transferred most of the people on the list. For a time, the drastic change of personnel in the Yamen of the Defense Department shook the entire Chang'an City, and the emperor did not explain more about his practices, but only said that the officials were transferred normally. More people felt that it was the emperor's suspicion that was at work. During this period, the most damaged interests were the third prince Su Bi, whose painstaking management of the capital defense seemed to be dismantled overnight, originally he played the emperor to fight for his subordinates to stay in office, but was reprimanded by the emperor and said that he did not think about inspection. For a while, the three princes had the illusion of losing power.

The faction of the three princes represents the internal defense division of Chang'an City and the garrison of Chang'an City. The impeachment of the three princes is also a means for the emperor to balance the relationship between the princes, and the rest of the princes who may compete for the crown prince are the happiest. Of course, there are also some people who are worried, such as Feng Chengdi, the captain of the NehChina Gate Defense Division, who has not yet been transferred by the emperor but realizes that he is about to be useless. On the afternoon of April 28, it was reported that Feng Cheng had been unable to contact King Huai's connector for a long time to send his sister to Huaidi, and was ready to personally send her out of the capital. More and more news shows that the incriminating evidence of a group of people is in Feng Chengyi's hands, which is also one of the reasons why he has made a fortune in recent years.

Of course, Feng Chengdi's actions were also induced by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's conclusion that Feng Cheng was handed over by Wu You was "there is great luck, but you need the help of nobles". Needless to say, Feng Chengdi's nobleman also guessed that it was the third prince he had taken refuge in, and it was at this time that the third prince was a little unhappy, so he focused on King Huai. For a superstitious person, hexagrams are extremely important, and the hexagrams of the national teacher make him even more convinced. This also made him eager to send his sister to the king of Huai to show his loyalty, which was reflected when he was still valuable in his throne.

Originally, He Mao wanted to arrest Feng Chengdi and his sister immediately after hearing about this, but Liu Yu had other ideas, after all, everything was just speculation and could not be done accurately. This is Liu Yu's perfunctory words. Liu Yu's real intention was to let He Mao personally play the emperor and put forward a bold idea, using the secret agents of the Imperial Forest Army to cooperate with Liu Yu and He Mao pretending to be the king of Huai to connect with Feng Chengdi's sister, and escort him to collect evidence on the way. Even He Mao thought that this idea was good, but it was not easy to implement, and he needed to ask the emperor for instructions.

Taking advantage of the gap in preparation, Liu Yu went home and asked Lu Chuer to go to the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion to call Su Yan, who had been "thinking behind closed doors" for several days.

At sunset, Su Yan was carrying two cricket cages, looking shapeless, and when he saw Liu Yu, he grinned and said, "Master, why are you willing to call an apprentice?" I've been suffocated to death for a few days. ”

"Really?" Liu Yu took the book review book and squinted at the cricket cage in his hand, "The silver I gave you, you got these two bad crickets?" ”

Su Yan said with a smile: "I didn't buy it, I caught it in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, if you can't go out to play, just find two crickets to fight and use it as a pastime." ”

"Don't be a pastime, put these two crickets with me, and come back to get them. Hurry up and eat something, drink something, and have something for you to do when you're full and drunk. ”

Su Yan mentioned the spirit: "What's the matter? ”

"Go to the gate of Changle Palace and kneel until I appear, even if you are sunburned to death and drenched in the rain in the middle, you can't leave, to outsiders is to say that you have lost atonement for your past."

"Kneeling again?" Su Yan said with a sad face, "Master, can you have something new?" It's hard to get through this kind of thing when you kneel. ”

"If you don't want to be crowned a king and a marquis, you don't have to go, and ...... If I can't see you when I go, either you will guard that one acre and three points of land and be a county public for the rest of your life, or wait for your third emperor brother to become the emperor and pull you back to Chang'an City to behead you. See for yourself! Liu Yue was anxious to meet with He Mao, and he wanted to tell Xu Xuanzhu that he couldn't go home for the next two days, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and emphasized again, "Remember, it's at the gate of Changle Palace, and I can't help you if you kneel in the wrong place!" ”
