Chapter 209: The History of Taizhou's Thorn
After half a month, more than a dozen suspicious characters were arrested, but most of those assassins seemed to be dead soldiers, and after being imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, they bit their tongues and committed suicide without saying a word. And those who are still alive obviously don't know the inside story, and they don't know anything about it, so they haven't tried to find out why.
Although His Majesty had decided to use troops against Chengde Wang Chengzong at this time and put the charges on his head, this did not mean that His Majesty did not want to confirm the truth of the matter.
This is not only Nianyun, but even His Majesty is sure that there is such a deeply hidden behind-the-scenes commander in Chang'an City, who is always controlling the direction of things.
This person is not new to Chang'an City, and the livelihood he does is probably reasonable and legal, so whether it is the household department checking the household to clean up the idle people, etc., or the Shence Army is under martial law to search for suspicious characters in the whole city, they have not been able to catch this mysterious person.
Perhaps, this person is a native of Chang'an, so he can't find out why.
But this is obviously puzzling, because whether it is Wu Yuanji, Wang Chengzong, or Li Shidao, their nests are not in Chang'an, and they are even far apart. If this mysterious person was sent by them, then it must be a cronie, how could he be thousands of miles away?
When His Majesty still did not reach a conclusion after the close investigation of the Hubu and the Shence Army, he ordered to check the records of business travels entering and leaving the city gate in the last three months to see if there were any records of entering and leaving from several directions, such as Chengde, Ziqing, and Huaixi.
At the same time, Guo Yan is also investigating.
Guo Yan's investigation method is different from His Majesty's, he does not have the energy to cast a wide net like the Hubu and Shence Army, and he hardly even needs to show up in person.
It's just that these days, Xue Chuer, the lord of Rong'an County, has gone to Pingkangli more often, and the shops under his name have come to report on the operation situation more and more.
The business scope of the Guo family covers jewelry, gold, silver and jade, rouge and gouache, cloth and satin, food and pastry, wood furniture and other industries.
Although some stores are not big and don't make much money, don't underestimate the people at the bottom, many problems that can't be solved by spending countless manpower, material and financial resources are actually just a trivial matter in their eyes.
Although it is inconvenient for the concubine to go out from time to time now, there is the princess and the prince as a liaison among them, and the concubine and the Guo family have actually always maintained close interaction.
And among the news that Guo Jun handed to Daming Palace, there was an idea that aroused Nianyun.
Li Shidao once raised a large number of disciples, including several warlocks who were very good at practicing medicine and alchemy.
Speaking of the warlock of alchemy, there is one living in the Zichen Hall now.
Moreover, this one is exactly what cannot be searched for no matter whatβwho dares to doubt that His Majesty has left in the Zichen Hall and has given great respect to his guests?
I have to say, this is an extremely useful piece of information.
She had no evidence, and it was even difficult for her to get it. Liu Mi's behavior is very cautious, even if His Majesty has revealed that he will live in the harem, which palace maid he likes can also say directly, but Liu Mi still looks very humble and polite, and he usually stays in the Zichen Palace, at most he walks to the imperial garden in front of him, and has never stepped into the harem for half a step.
Nian Yun ordered people to stare at him for more than half a month, and he could hardly find the slightest loophole.
Of course, this is one of the reasons why Li Chun trusts him so much.
Ke Nianyun began to get a little anxious slowly. knew that whoever was in trouble at this time would lose, but how could she not be in a hurry? Your Majesty is taking the medicine of the willow secretion every day!
Regardless of whether this mysterious figure in the end is Liu Mi or not, he must be convicted of this crime!
When Li Chun came to Penglai Hall in the evening, Nian Yun seemed to unintentionally raise a question, "In the past, the concubine asked Mr. Liu that he wanted to prepare a few pills for His Majesty according to his prescription, but Mr. Liu said that his medicine is very rare, and even the palace may not be able to find it." Your Majesty has been taking Mr. Liu's medicine for some time now, is it still enough? β
Li Chun originally knew that Nianyun didn't like that Liu Yu very much, so he didn't mention it in front of her, and when he heard her take the initiative to mention it, he said: "But isn't it, Mr. Liu doesn't have much medicine, and he only talked about it with me a few days ago, and he wants to go to the beach in Taizhou to find medicine." β
Nian Yun's heart jumped a few beats in a hurry, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of tea to cover up. Putting down the teacup, Fang said: "The concubine also heard that from Taizhou into the sea, if there is a chance to see Penglai Immortal Island, then the immortal medicine is thought to be on Penglai Immortal Island." What does Your Majesty think? β
Li Chun said: "I think that the assassin of Taizhou should also step down, so it is better to appoint a assassin for him, and it will be much easier to act at that time." β
Opening your mouth is the history of a state's thorn, and Your Majesty's grace is really not small.
Nian Yun sneered in his heart, whether it is a stabbing history, even if it is a festival envoy, it doesn't matter, anyway, if he walks out of this Daming Palace, there will be no return.
She didn't show it on her face, but said on her mouth: "This ...... It's not good, those students who have been in the cold window for ten years can only be elected in Chang'an for three or five years in order to find a lowly position. Mr. Liu is just a white cloth, and he will directly give the job of assassin ......"
Li Chun explained: "I don't expect him to do much, Taizhou's affairs, naturally there are staff and Situ underneath. I'm just making it easy for him, and I think that with his talents, even if I really want to do that assassination, I can do it. Don't say much, my mind is already set. β
It seemed that although His Majesty seemed to be uncertain, in fact, he had made up his mind, so she didn't say more, but only asked, "How long will it take for him to be gone, and will he leave enough medicine for His Majesty?" β
Li Chun said: "It's not long, it's not short, it's about half a year, and I've left seven or eight months of medicine for me." Now you don't have to take it every day, you can take one pill every three to five days. β
He thought for a while and said: "I have ordered Pei Du to act as the prime minister of Wu Yuanheng, and in addition, I have ordered Han Hong to be the envoy to lead the army to attack the Chengde Wang Chengzong Department, and set off in three days. I thought, if I go to Taizhou here, if I go from Luoyang, I happen to have the same road as Han Hong, so I ordered him to set off with Han Hong. β
I will leave in three days, and Your Majesty will probably start preparing for this matter a long time ago!
Li Chun saw that Nianyun's face was not very good, and she also knew that this matter had not been discussed with her from the beginning, and she might have some pimples in her heart. But in the past few days, his trust in Liu Mi is actually very deep, and he can't explain it, so he simply changed the topic and asked, "Wanwan's wedding, how are you prepared?" β
Nianyun's mind was pulled back, and he smiled and said: "I'm still preparing, haven't I discussed it with the Du family, this year is a little tight, it's better to wait until the spring of next year." β
Li Chun nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful. What about Taihe, Heng'er is not young, and Taihe is only a month younger than Wanwan, so you have to hurry up, or settle down first? When a princess becomes a crown princess, it will always take some time to figure it out. β
Luoluo wants to be the crown princess, so she must first restore her identity as the daughter of King Shu, and she should be the lord of the county, announce it to the world, and then discuss the marriage.
It's just that after the wedding, Luoluo has to live with Heng'er in the East Palace, take care of the affairs of the East Palace alone, and can't follow her all day long.
In the past few years, she always feels that Luoluo still has a lot to learn, so this marriage has been delayed. Now that they're not young, it's time for the kids to set up their own doors.
Nianyun said: "The concubine always thinks that the child is still young, and it would be good to have a few more years of training, but in a blink of an eye, not all of them are so old!" It's time to prepare, lest Heng'er be restless all day. β
But for some reason, it was about a man who had already found that Luoluo's heart was bigger than Heng'er, and she always felt as if the two children were no longer as close as before.
The next day, Nianyun called Luoluo over, and solemnly withdrew and gave him a seat.
Luoluo was a little nervous, "Mother? β
Although Luoluo is still young, it is inevitable that the little girl's family will be a little shy when it encounters this kind of thing, but Luoluo is a little different from the girl next to her.
Nianyun therefore did not sell Guanzi, and said: "Luoluo, now that Wanwan's marriage has been decided, you and Heng'er's affairs should also be ......."
Before he finished speaking, Luoluo suddenly stood up, "Mother, Luoluo is still young, and I don't plan to engage for the time being!" β
She stood in front of Nian Yun, almost as tall as Nian Yun, her eyes were aggressive, and there was great determination in her words.
Nian Yun originally picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea for her in person, but she paused.
This is not a girl who refuses because she is shy, nor is she angry, but more like a decision made after careful consideration.
Nianyun was suddenly a little deflated, and at that moment, she saw some desolation and loneliness in Luoluo's eyes.
She asked tentatively, "Luoluo, don't worry, do you have a better choice?" β
Luoluo shook her head and bit her lip, "Mother, Luoluo has been with her mother for many years, maybe longer than Wanwan has been with her mother, and her mother should understand that Luoluo will not be taught privately with men." β
With her understanding of Luoluo, it should indeed not be because Luoluo has something else in her heart. After all, the two children are childhood sweethearts, even if the relationship between men and women is aside, the friendship should be very deep.
So why did Luoluo refuse this marriage? She thought for a while, and then said: "Luoluo, Wanwan's marriage also has to wait for the end of this year, and then prepare for you and Heng'er, it will always take some time, it's not that you will marry to the East Palace right away." It's just that this matter, it doesn't hurt to settle it first......"
Luoluo shook his head resolutely, and suddenly knelt down in front of Nianyun: "Mother has been good at Luoluo all these years, and Luoluo remembers it in her heart." If the mother really regards Luoluo as her own daughter, give Luoluo a little time, don't force Luoluo! β
Nianyun's heart sank little by little. She knew what her son was like, and to put it mildly, he didn't deserve it at all. Although he has liked to stick to Luoluo since he was a child, he has been surrounded by women since he became the prince, and he is even about to give birth to his eldest son.
Li Tang's royal family has always valued the eldest son more than the son-in-law, what does this mean, I believe Luoluo is also very clear.
What about her? She will not force Luoluo to really repeat the mistakes of the big man Chen Ajiao!
