On this morning, the court had just come down, and before the civil and military officials had withdrawn from the Chonghua Palace, Lu Chengxiu, the king of Shu, entered the palace.

Ning Guogong met him head-on, and immediately asked the whole story of the matter, and the two stopped the saint in the Chonghua Palace, and called back the civil and military officials who were just about to leave the palace.

Only Prime Minister Wei was in a hurry to report to Lu Guitang, and missed the early reopening of the dynasty.

Seeing the eldest son who had done the ridiculous behavior, the saint couldn't help but want to be angry, Lu Chengxiu was about to ask for guilt, but he heard Ning Guogong say that there was another unknown side to the details.

Ning Guogong made a generous statement in the court, protecting Lu Chengxiu, claiming that Ning Guogong himself was worried that the people who went to check Kangfu today would be unfavorable, and he was worried that Kangfu's wealth would offend the will of the saint, so he specially ordered Yuan Changxin to borrow soldiers and horses for Lu Chengxiu to check, who knew that he met the second lady of the Gu family and the Xianwang Lu Guitang next to the sedan chair halfway through, which made people misunderstand.

Ning Guogong is in charge of the government and can dispatch the troops under his command.

The civil and military officials were all above the early dynasty, only the two royal highnesses King Shu and King Xian were outside the palace, and Ning Guogong handed over the matter of inquiring about the Kang Mansion to Lu Chengxiu, which was also reasonable.

As a result, it became Lu Chengxiu who assisted the Criminal Department to raid Kangfu despite his injuries, but was robbed by King Xian on the way, which delayed the major affairs of the court.

At that time, it was unknown what the situation in the Chonghua Hall and Ning Guogong's words were, and the secret guards of Lu Guitang inquired many times, but only heard these contents.

But just like this, it was enough to make Shang Guyuan, who was sitting on the side, amazed again and again, that Ning Guogong's mouth was so neat, so neat that he could turn things upside down in an instant, and the courage of the civil and military officials was also so timid, so timid that he really didn't dare to say a word in front of him.

What's even more strange is that the development of things is really as Gu Jing speculated.

It didn't take a few bites of food, Lu Guitang put down his chopsticks, got up in person to call the little guy outside the door, and asked, "Hasn't anyone come to the palace yet?" ”

The little guy "ang", he didn't understand the meaning of Lu Guitang's words, and he didn't understand why someone was coming to the palace at this time.

Gu Jin and Shang Guyuan also put their chopsticks together, the little guy couldn't understand it, but they could understand it.

The saint is not a fool, whether Ning Guogong's words are true or false He has his own judgment in his heart, but the civil and military officials are not fools, and they can see clearly in their hearts who is in the hands of the government power.

Gu Jiangyuan led the army to return to the dynasty, and the heroes of the Xiangbei flood are also about to return to the dynasty, no one wants to do much, the saint waved his hand and retreated Lu Chengxiu, which means to inform the civil and military officials and the people of the world: Ning Guogong's rhetoric, I believe it.

In this way, the charges of blocking people's sedan chairs in the downtown area all fell on Lu Guitang.

The time for lunch has passed, and if nothing else, someone in the palace should come to the palace to summon Lu Guitang to enter the palace for questioning.

Lu Guitang waved his hand, wanting to let the little guy retreat, but he saw a person in the distance, who was the gatekeeper of the Xianwang Mansion.

His heart sank, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.

The porter was in a hurry, and when he saw Lu Guitang, he saluted: "Your Highness, the Fu Inner Eunuch in the palace is here." ”

Gu Jin was slightly stunned when she heard this in the warm pavilion, and vaguely remembered the immature little eunuch she and Lu Guitang had met at the gate of the Qinzheng Hall many days ago.

Shang Guyuan got up and rolled up his sleeves at Gu Jin: "Miss Gu, there are people in the palace, why don't you avoid it." ”

Gu Jin nodded, then got up and turned to the back of the screen, if the palace wants to hold Lu Guitang responsible, I am afraid that Gu Jin will also be held accountable together, just because she is Gu Jiangyuan's daughter, this matter will definitely be suppressed, but it is better to see the internal supervisor of this person.

After Gu Jin hid, Lu Guitang instructed the porter to invite someone in.

The little inner eunuch looked like yesterday, still with a little shrewdness on his immature face, and when he saw Lu Guitang, he saluted and said: "The slave has asked His Royal Highness King Xian to say goodbye, there is a decree from the saint, and His Royal Highness will be summoned into the palace immediately, and the carriage is already waiting outside the door." ”

Lu Guitang groaned and said, "Got it." ”

Shang Guyuan took two steps forward and whispered in his ear: "You go and delay for a while, and when the dark guard returns, I will personally enter the palace and hand over the results to you." ”

Lu Guitang pursed his lips, and now it seems that the speed of the dark guard has become his only hope.

At this moment, he regretted a little, he let those secret guards live too leisurely on weekdays, but now he feels a little unreliable to use them.

Lu Guitang put on his cloak and stepped out of the warm pavilion, and couldn't help but praise Shang Guyuan: "If I raise the secret guard of the mansion to a few percent, are you interested in changing the staff to the secret guard?" ”

Shang Gu Yuanyu's face darkened.

On the official road outside Bianliang City, the secret guard who was galloping on his horse sneezed a few times one after another, and for some reason, he only vaguely felt that his errand might not last long.

Just now, he took Lu Guitang's secret letter and went straight to the news base outside Bianliang City, where there were the people left by his uncle Li Changping to Lu Guitang for timely contact.

It was a small teahouse, and on weekdays, it communicated with the spies in Dingzhou, and then reported the news to the Xianwang Mansion. Although Dingzhou has been unstable over the years, Lu Guitang does not care much, he can write a letter to his family by contacting his uncle, and he does not need this teahouse.

But I didn't think that in just a few days, the secret guards of the Xianwang Mansion came and went here twice, once for the letter that Gu Jintuo Lu Guitang wrote to Gu Jiangyuan, and the other was today.

When the secret guard arrived, there was a mess in the teahouse, and the teahouse shopkeeper was hurriedly writing on the paper, and the two runners were injured, and they looked very unpeaceful.

This scene frightened the secret guard, and thought that it was the first child of the Xianwang Mansion to contact Uncle Guo who was discovered, and only after finding out the situation did he find out that it was the spies in the teahouse who messed up themselves.

The dark guard threw the long knife on his waist on the teahouse table, his face extremely cold, "What's the matter?" ”

Why are there no tea customers in the teahouse today, and why are the two guys injured?

The temper of this secret guard of the Xianwang Mansion is not very good, he has always only listened to the orders of the lord to do things, but when he arrived at the teahouse today, it was different from the scene he usually connected, which made the secret guard who was not deeply involved in the world very depressed.

The shopkeeper had a lot of dealings with the secret guards of the Xianwang Mansion, and when he saw the face of this uninvited guest, he was relieved, and he showed the secret guards the paper that he had just written hard, and instructed: "The situation is urgent, and it must be presented to His Highness as soon as possible." ”

The news on the paper was that the spies under his command had just brought back from Dingzhou, which was full of bandits, and they almost couldn't come back.

The dark guard unfolded the note in his hand and looked at it, and his heart suddenly panicked.

There are eight big characters written on the paper: Dingzhou is in turmoil, and Uncle Guo is seriously injured.
