Chapter 58 Purging the Remnant
"I really don't know how to tell you, I'm fine, you have to teach me martial arts today." Liu Chunyan saw that she couldn't explain it to Lu Siguan, so she didn't say anything more.
Lu Siguan hesitated for a while, "Forget it today, wait until the turmoil subsides." β
Thinking that it would be another bloody storm in the capital tonight, Lu Siguan felt that it was not appropriate to take Liu Chunyan out on an adventure at this time.
Although the nine thousand years old is dead, there are many remnants left behind, and Liu Chunyan will become the target of public criticism if she is not careful, and Liu Chunyan has already been targeted by the nine thousand years old.
"Today, you have a good rest in the room, don't go out, there may be nine thousand-year-old remnants everywhere in the capital, and the emperor will also make a move tonight, remember." Lu Siguan said with a very serious expression.
Liu Chunyan nodded slightly, "After such a day of tossing today, if you find someone to carry me out to play, I won't go out." β
"That's it, stop thinking nonsense, get a good night's sleep, and wake up with nothing to do." Lu Siguan said softly.
After saying that, Lu Siguan left, today the emperor wants to purge the more than nine thousand years old, he must not be too light, and he is relieved after making sure that Liu Chunyan is safe and sound.
Liu Chunyan was still thinking about what she confessed to Lu Siguan just now, "Is it really stupid, I can't understand such simple words." β
After a simple freshening up, Liu Chunyan fell asleep.
β¦β¦
Song Jingchen had already discovered the abnormality when he left the palace, and on the way back to the house, he ordered people to inquire about the news in various parts of the capital.
At this time, all kinds of news are particularly important, Song Jingchen feels right, there are indeed major events happening in the capital, and it is better to plan as soon as you get the news.
Song Jingchen returned to the Song Mansion and sat in the study, waiting for the next person to come back to report the news.
Along the way, spies sent a message from flying pigeons: "The fortresses in the capital have been filled with heavy troops, and thousands of troops have secretly entered the capital. β
The note also had the names of the leaders of all walks of life written on it, Song Jingchen was thoughtful, and when he got the news, he had already judged that something might have happened to the nine thousand years old.
The troops stationed outside the inner capital are all 9,000 years old, and the troops that are transferred to the capital today are also 9,000 years old red and blue flags, but the commanders of each team are not 9,000 years old.
Song Jingchen saw all the details.
Song Jingchen, who was thinking in the study, saw a pigeon fly back in the air, and the pigeon landed steadily on the window edge of the study.
Song Jingchen took out the strip of cloth from the pigeon, "The imperial city guards have doubled, and they are secretly transporting corpses outside the palace. β
Looking at this news, Song Jingchen was even more sure of his judgment.
Today, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, the ministers will not be under house arrest for three hours for no reason, and the careful Song Jingchen was 9,000 years old at the time arranging various matters.
has been an official in the capital for so long, and Song Jingchen still knows a little bit about the officialdom, and he is also very aware of all kinds of evil in the capital at the age of 9,000, but he doesn't talk to outsiders.
Because no one dares to offend at the age of nine thousand years in the capital, Lord Liu and Lord Du are the best examples, no matter how many grades you have, it is calculated that you were framed by nine thousand years old like the prime minister of the dynasty.
Although Song Jingchen is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Du, and he was also picked up by Lord Du, in order to go more smoothly in the officialdom, Song Jingchen secretly had some dealings with Jiu Qian-sui.
Song Jingchen secretly interacted with the nine thousand years old, these are all unknown to Master Du, only he and the nine thousand years old know.
He also knew that the nine-thousand-year-old was in the scorching sun in the capital, ignoring everyone, and sooner or later his ambition would swell and he would do something rebellious, so he had always been on guard.
Although there is no definite news from the palace, Song Jingchen does not dare to take risks, and more importantly, he is already the prime minister of the dynasty......
Song Jingchen didn't think about his misjudgment, if it wasn't for the problem on the nine-thousand-year-old side, what would have happened.
"......Someone is coming," Song Jingchen said softly.
After speaking, suddenly the two of them flew down from the eaves, and it was not the subordinates who came in from the door, looking at the two masked black-clothed people in front of him, Song Jingchen said, "Go ahead, he will get rid of it, and then find a place where no one is there to bury the body, do it cleanly, and you will go out of the customs immediately after you finish it." β
Song Jingchen is the connector who asked his subordinates to kill him before he was also nine thousand years old, and this person also knows some things between Song Jingchen and nine thousand years old.
If it was really the nine-thousand-year-old accident, Song Jingchen looked at the deployment of troops in the capital and the palace, and already guessed that the emperor was going to eliminate the nine-thousand-year-old remnants, so it would be easy to involve himself.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is no accident at the age of 9,000, killing the joint and the current Song Jingchen will not have much impact, after all, he is already ranked as prime minister.
After giving the order, the two men in black left.
Song Jingchen's whole heart began to hang, and suddenly thought of Liu Chunyan who was dancing in the main hall today, and remembered that she was the Lu Huaixiang he had used before, but he didn't expect that she was not dead yet, and she seemed to have changed.
Although Song Jingchen didn't know what happened to Liu Chunyan during this period of time, a few days above the main hall, the eldest son of the emperor looked at Liu Chunyan's eyes, and Song Jingchen remembered it deeply.
and the expressions of the emperor and the queen mother when they saw Liu Chunyan dancing, they were also very appreciative expressions, Song Jingchen felt that Liu Chunyan was not simple, at least the relationship with the emperor and the queen mother was not ordinary.
Song Jingchen slowly became interested in Liu Chunyan, and what he couldn't forget was the dance of Liu Chunyan on the top of the main hall.
Although Song Jingchen and Lu Guozheng are also old acquaintances, they have always been very close in the past, after all, they are both under the hands of Master Du.
But for the sake of the prime minister's position and for the early promotion, the two of them have always been at odds with each other.
Song Jingchen knew that Lu Guozheng had been looking for the position of prime minister, and he also hoped to take advantage of the emperor's opportunity to clear the remnants of the nine thousand years old to beat Lu Guozheng.
But after thinking about it carefully, Song Jingchen still decided to secretly help Lu Guozheng, all because of Liu Chunyan.
He thought about it, even if the emperor found out that Lu Guozheng had a relationship with the nine thousand years old, but Lu Guozheng did not participate in the rebellion after all, and Liu Chunyan was Lu Guozheng's daughter, the emperor would definitely not ask Lu Guozheng for his crimes.
Even if Lu Guozheng is to be convicted, it will only give Lu Guozheng a small punishment, and Song Jingchen's consideration of all this is based on Liu Chunyan.
Although these things seem reasonable on the surface, and they are also unthinkable to ordinary people, Song Jingchen couldn't imagine that Lu Huaixiang at this time was no longer the Lu Huaixiang who had been framed by himself before.
After thinking about it again, Song Jingchen still decided to secretly tell Lu Guozheng the news he analyzed, sell him a favor, and if there is something to find Liu Chunyan in the future, it will be easier to say.
So he arranged for the housekeeper to deliver the letter he wrote to Lu Guozheng's mansion.
"Remember, hand it over to Lord Lu yourself, and you can not leave until he reads it and asks him to burn the letter in front of you." After Song Jingchen repeatedly instructed the housekeeper, he asked him to close the letter.
Song Jingchen was arranging for someone to secretly send a letter to Lu Guozheng, and on the other side, the Imperial Forest Army in the palace had already been arranged, and he was really ready to go, so he just waited for it to get dark and did it.
Song Jingchen walked back and forth in the study, although everything had been arranged, and the things related to the nine thousand years old in the Song Mansion had already been burned, but he was still very worried in his heart.
The housekeeper delivered the letter to Lu Guozheng according to Song Jingchen's instructions, and Lu Guozheng burned the letter after reading it in person.
It's just that he didn't really believe what the letter said, and he kept hesitating in his heart.
Although Lu Guozheng has tens of thousands of shortcomings, he still has one merit, that is, he can clearly see his own shortcomings and the strengths of others.
In his eyes, Song Jingchen is a very talented person, if someone else tells him this news, Lu Guozheng will definitely not believe it, but this person is Song Jingchen, then he will think twice.
After Lu Guozheng hesitated slightly, he finally chose to believe Song Jingchen, and asked his subordinates to do similar things as Song Jingchen arranged.
It was already dusk when the butler delivered the letter to the Lu Mansion, and when he left the gate of the Lu Mansion, he didn't have long to see the streets full of Imperial Forest Army.
"Tonight's curfew, you are not allowed to walk around the streets at will, and if you walk around the streets at will, you will be killed." The Guards shouted.
After speaking, I saw that everyone on the street was fleeing in all directions, and the housekeeper also quickened his pace, trotting all the way back to the Song Mansion.
As soon as the housekeeper entered the door, he went straight to the study, "Master, there are royal guards outside, and it is said that there is a curfew outside." β
"Got it, you go back and rest."
Song Jingchen was sure that he had guessed correctly, but after getting the news, he was not as uneasy as he was just now, but sat down in front of the desk, tasted the tea in the cup, and quietly waited for the Imperial Forest Army to come to the Song Mansion.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Jingchen put down the teacup, he heard the sound of soldier A entering the house, and he walked out of the study unhurriedly.
"Lord Song, I came to the palace to search on the orders of the emperor, and the people in the capital reacted that some officials were collecting money privately, so the emperor ordered to search the mansion of every official in Beijing."
"Since it is on the emperor's order, then you can search casually, you have to search carefully, don't miss any place." Song Jingchen said with a smile.
At this time, the mansions of all the major officials in the capital were like this, except for the Hussar General's Mansion and Qin Muyu's Qin Mansion were spared.
"What are you doing, do you know what this place is?" The roar woke up the sleeping Liu Chunyan.
She slowly got up and walked to the door, and saw that Lu Yujian was confronting a team of Imperial Forest Army, and he seemed very displeased.
At this time, Lu Guozheng and Mrs. Lu were trotting towards the door of the Lu Mansion, looking very nervous.
"Jane, Hugh is rude." Lu Guozheng pretended to reprimand Lu Yujian.
