After some play, Su Huan's baby daughter was tired and slept in her mother's arms, and Su Tong directly arranged the mother and daughter to the Yongning Palace where Concubine Hui lived back then.

Concubine Hui is Su Huan's mother, and when the princes were young, Concubine Hui was very close to Emperor Qin's concubine.

The people in the palace said that she was just a foreigner and had no power, so she attached herself to the Qin Emperor's concubine.

Maybe yes or maybe not, these people are no longer there, and the events of the past have all disappeared.

Standing at the place where the brothers stole fish by the lotus pond, Su Zhi said: "Lao Jiu, don't go back to Chang'an for the time being, I will hand over the Zongren Mansion to you." ”

"Isn't the fourth brother here, Your Majesty knows that the minister has never been in charge."

"He has other things, and now you know the situation in the DPRK and China, there are not many people who can reassure me, you can't abandon me at this time and go back to Chang'an to enjoy your blessings."

"Okay, since Your Majesty has sold so badly, it's not okay if your brother doesn't accept it."

Su Tong smiled: "Okay, but you can't not give any benefits, your little Jiu Zhen named her the princess of Chang'an." ”

"The minister is grateful for Xiao Jiu, Your Majesty Longen."

"Don't talk about those useless, I canonized her first, this little baby is really likable, and then Uncle Wang took care of me in Beishan at the beginning, and the seventh child is still immature and not suitable for entrusting me with important tasks."

"The younger brother understands His Majesty's good intentions, and he still wants to thank Xiao Jiu."

The two brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at the lotus pond, Lao Jiu shouted: "When I was a child, stealing fish to eat was called a beauty, and now I don't want to eat fish in this pond." ”

"Call the fourth brother to come, let's eat the three grilled fish."

"Then I'll go fishing"

Lao Jiu said that he asked the little eunuchs to take the guys, and Su Zhi also helped him.

When Su Tan came, the two of them had already fished out a large wooden basin of fish, and several little eunuchs gathered around to pick them up.

Su Tong casually broke the branches in the imperial garden to make a fire, and Lao Jiu came back with a big bamboo basket: "This is the carbon I stole when there was no one in the imperial dining room, it's better to take this grilled fish." ”

The corners of Su Tan's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Su Tong: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the things lost in this palace are really strange. ”

Su Tong was lighting the fire, and said without raising his head: "It's okay, I'll steal it myself." ”

When the fire was lit and Su Tan looked up again, Su Tan was no longer there, Lao Jiu was piercing the branches with fish, and he asked, "Where is the fourth brother?" ”

Lao Jiu looked up: "I don't know, I didn't pay attention." ”

The two of them were burying their heads in their own work again, and suddenly a large bamboo basket was placed in front of them.

Looking up, seeing Su Tan standing there with a food box in his hand, Lao Jiu asked, "What did you get back?" ”

"This thing is not easy to get in the palace, to be honest, the things in this palace are too fine, and I really can't stand the fish that you two have grilled for so long."

The two of them took out the contents of the basket curiously, and there were a few cold steamed buns in a white cloth pocket, and Su Zhi asked curiously: "Where did you get this thing, I have never seen this in the palace." ”

"The low-level palace maids in the Huanyi Bureau eat this, I stole the snacks for Your Majesty from the imperial dining room, and caught a little eunuch and asked him to go to the Huanyi Bureau to change."

Su Tong took out a steamed bun and found that the steamed bread was dry, and he broke it to drop the slag, he said: "When the army marched back then, they all carried dry cakes, or fried noodles, and sometimes they couldn't make a fire when they marched in a hurry, or fried noodles mixed with snow to eat." At that time, if there were steamed buns, they were roasted on the fire, and some snow water was boiled and sprinkled with salt to eat them. ”

Lao Jiu had never been to the battlefield, and he was stunned when he heard it: "Your Majesty, you were so bitter at the border back then?" ”

"That's the border pass, and the enemy never gives you time to eat and sleep."

Su Tan smiled faintly, and then put the steamed bun on the branch and roasted it.

Su Zhi beckoned to Xiao Chuan'er: "You go to the Huanyi Bureau to have a look, maybe there will be some old acquaintances." ”

"There are no old acquaintances, and the palace people around the mother concubine were replaced after the funeral of the father, and now the bones have turned to ashes."

Su Tan said and took down the baked steamed bun and handed it to Lao Jiu: "You taste it, this is something you have never tasted." ”

Lao Jiu took it and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to say that the old man and the ministers know one, it is still said when the mother concubine is alive, but I don't know if this person is still there." ”

"Who?"

Lao Jiu thought for a while and said: "The mother concubine said back then that the imperial concubine would always send silver outside the palace, saying that it was for a girl who was around her back then. I think that girl is now in her forties, but I don't know if she is still in the capital. ”

This is something that Su Tong didn't know, so he asked, "Do you know who has ever done this?" ”

"I was still young at the time, even if I heard it at the time, I don't remember, the reason why I remember this is because the concubine and the palace maid said that I overheard, and it was later discovered, and the concubine warned me not to say it."

Su Tan said, "Will the fifth uncle know?" ”

Lao Jiu was surprised: "It's just such a girl, do you take it to heart like this?" ”

Su Tong didn't answer him, Su Tan explained: "The mother concubine is gone, and the people she has taken care of, Your Majesty wants to continue to take care of them." ”

"Don't let the fifth uncle know about this"

Su Tong said this, and got up and left.

The two brothers were left staring at each other, thinking that the grilled fish was not very tasty. Back then, I thought it was delicious, maybe it was because I couldn't eat it casually, and the stolen ones were fragrant.

Now it's stealing, but it's just stealing. Although they are still three brothers, everyone sitting here pays attention to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

is free to act, but not comfortable after all.

Lao Jiu went to take care of Layue's mother and daughter, and after eating and drinking, he also had a good family of three and left the palace and returned to the Ten Kings' Mansion.

Su Tan didn't go to see Su Tong again, he sat by the lotus pond for a while, and then went out of the palace.

In fact, Su Zhi is not in the palace, and he is in Beizhen Fusi at this time.

The Jinyi Wei officials are divided into the North and South Town Fu Division, and the North Town Fu Division is in charge of the Imperial Prison, that is, some cases appointed by the emperor will be handed over here.

Jinyiwei originally had one envoy from the north and the south, and they were of the same rank. Later, because of the greater power of the Beizhen Fusi, the Beizhen Fusi became the commander of the Jinyi Weidu, so that the Nanzhen Fusi, which appeared first, became a subsidiary of the Beizhen Fusi.

Feng Shouli was in Beizhen Fusi, and the secret books he gave to Su Zhi for those brocade-clothed secret guards were also found here.

A secret room was found behind the room where Feng Shouli worked, and Su Zhi stood in this secret room, feeling that there was only one box in front of him, and the one in the south study now, it seemed that this room was built bigger.

"Has Liang Shun been caught?"

Feng Shouli replied: "Wei Chen personally interrogated, he said that he didn't know that there was a secret room in this house. ”

"His previous commander is dead, is it true that no one knows about this anymore?"

"Maybe it was the later period of Gaozu who destroyed the rest of the secret books here, and the later commanders should not have seen it."

Su Zhi came out of the secret room and said, "Beizhen Fusi has been established for less than five years, and it is also possible that those secret books have not had time to be transported, and no one may know about the funeral of Gaozu. ”

"That Weichen went to Nanzhen Fusi to check, there can be a secret room here, and there must be one there."

Su Zhi didn't think so, but it should still be investigated.

After returning to the palace, he felt that he was caught in some unknown emotion, as soon as he closed his eyes, the secret room appeared in his mind.

It doesn't feel very good, especially late at night, when you fall asleep and enter that secret room, and it's pitch black all around.

The secret room was full of secret books, and the big boxes were full of them.

When he woke up, he firmly believed that there were many things in that room, but they were taken away later, who was it, and what was the purpose of taking it.

Could it really be that the father and emperor destroyed the secret book in order to continue to hide the brocade-clothed secret guards who let him out?

If that were the case, shouldn't the secret book of the prince be destroyed?

This is a really difficult question to solve!
