Chapter XVIII: The Beginning of the Struggle

Following

Last night, there was a Heavenly Dao Divine Master controlling the celestial phenomena, and it rained in the imperial capital, and the air in the divine capital was much fresher this morning, and around Yu Wenming's mansion, there was no choking smell after the mansion was burned.

Nowadays, all countries have a small dynasty every three days, a big dynasty every ten days, and today is a big dynasty once every ten days, and officials of all sizes in the imperial capital must come to participate today.

And Ling Xuan also changed into the court clothes of the prince of his court, the prince of Ling Guo can only be crowned king at the age of fifteen, and now among the princes, only the eldest prince Ling Haoyu was crowned king at the age of fifteen, and after the second prince was born, he unfortunately died soon after, as for Ling Xuan's birth, it was extremely rare, and it also reflected Ling Yang's favor for him.

Shengyang Palace

"What did you say? Yu Wenming's body was not found. As soon as Ling Xuan was about to go to the court meeting, he received news from Jinyiwei.

"Yes, after the Heavenly Dao Divine Master extinguished the fire with heavy rain last night, the people of Shuntianfu and the city guards searched all night, but they did not find Yu Wenming's body. ”

Cao Huachun also didn't know why, the assassins would never kill people and then take the corpses away, and the dozens of corpses found last night, but none of them were Yu Wenming's.

"Is Su Sheng's body found? Ling Xuan thought for a moment and asked.

"Su Sheng was killed in the study, when the housekeeper of the Su Mansion found that the door of the study was not closed, and it turned out that Su Sheng was dead on the chair with a sword to seal his throat. Although Cao Huachun didn't know what his master was asking for, he still answered in detail.

This is also the strangest part of this incident, one person's body is in the study, but the body of another person is missing.

Ling Xuan didn't know what he remembered, and laughed: "Then this matter is interesting." ”

......

In front of the solemn and solemn Lizheng Palace, there were ministers waiting for the start of the court meeting, and they gathered in twos and threes to talk, without exception, all of them were assassinated yesterday.

"This time, the five great families will never easily turn over this matter, Lord Situ and General Zhao can save their lives, it is already a great creation. ”

"Yes! Two high-ranking officials of the imperial court were assassinated one after another, not to mention that there is no such thing in Ling State, even in other countries, I think now the eyes of all countries are focused on this matter, once it is not handled well, my Ling Country will really lose its majesty in front of the people of the world. ”

"That's right, if we can't catch the murderer, not to mention that the scholars of various countries will not come to our Ling country, and even the scholars of Ling country will go to other countries, which is a huge blow to the officialdom of our Ling country. ”

"Don't just think about the bad things, haven't you noticed that the people who were assassinated were all people from the five great families? Maybe they were retaliated against for their usual bad deeds, and the scholars of other countries thought that my Ling Kingdom was going to be tough on the family, and they all wanted to enter my Ling Kingdom. ”

A somewhat frivolous voice caught Ling Xuan's attention, Ling Xuan turned to see that it was a young man in a purple court robe, that person had a handsome face, but under the sword eyebrows there was a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, the appearance looked debauched, but the inadvertent light in his eyes was not to be underestimated.

Nowadays, the third-rank officials and above in various countries wear purple, the fifth-rank officials and above wear crimson, the seventh-rank officials and above wear green, and the ninth-rank officials and above wear blue, and the young man is wearing a purple court dress, obviously his official position is not low.

"That is Han Feng, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, who was born in a poor family but was quite favored by His Majesty, and specially promoted him. ”

An old and familiar voice came from Ling Xuan's ears.

"Xia Guan has seen Lord Zuo Xiang. Ling Xuan bowed, although he was the prince of Yipin, but it was only a title, his real official position was the protector of the capital of Northern Xinjiang, from the second rank, when he saw the left minister of the first rank, he naturally had to salute.

"His Royal Highness King Xuan. Situ Wen returned the salute, and the two people behind him also saluted Ling Xuan.

These two are the protagonists of today's court dispute, Yin Situ Ning of Shuntian Mansion, and Zhao Fei, the commander of the city guards, and now both of them are not looking good, after all, something big happened within the scope of their responsibilities.

"Are the two of you not confident in today's court fight?" Ling Xuan looked at the two of them with a smile on his face and said in a relaxed tone.

"What is His Royal Highness King Xuan's plan for today's affairs?"

Situ Wen is worthy of being an old fox who has been in the court for decades, and he knows the meaning when he hears the strings, and knows that Ling Xuan has a way to solve today's matter.

"I hope that the two Lords will work hard for this mission to apprehend the Assassins. Ling Xuan said solemnly.

What happened this time is really too big, if there may be a chance to make meritorious contributions in normal times, but during this court dispute, it is very likely that the two will be dismissed on the spot and let others deal with this matter, and at that time, let alone keep the official positions of these two, it will not be so easy to save the lives of the two.

Especially Situ Ning, as long as he doesn't make much fault on his resume, he is almost the candidate for the next left minister.

"Can this work?" Situ Ning couldn't help but speak, with the current situation of the two of them, if they want to win the right to investigate the case, I am afraid they will have to make a military writ.

"I don't know what His Highness wants to do?" Situ Wen glared at his son fiercely, and interjected at this time.

"Lord Zuo Xiang forgot how my Dadu Protector came from? and six years ago, the palace gate bet, Lord Zuo Xiang owed me something. As for what I want to do, I can't say it now, I can't say it. ”

"This ...... All right. Situ Wen thought of Ling Xuan, he could think of the clever plan of establishing the Metropolitan Protectorate at the age of six, and today, six years later, I am afraid that there is really a good way.

Situ Ning and Zhao Fei didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing, especially Situ Ning, he knew how stubborn his father was, and with these two sentences, his father agreed?

"And how did you come to be the protector of most of your northern frontier? ”

Situ Ning was silently hovering in his heart, thinking that he had only achieved the official position of the third grade when he was middle-aged, Han Feng, a young man in his twenties, was on an equal footing with himself in terms of grade, and now even such a stinky young man had a higher official position than himself, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to love.

Ling Xuan looked at the expressions of the two of them, and naturally knew what they were thinking, but whether he had real talent or not, the two of them soon knew.
