When Yun Yanlong heard him discuss the ghost case and the palace people's case together, he was shocked at first, but after a while, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Chu Ruirong couldn't help but glance at Gu Xi at this moment, I don't know how much he knows about these cases in the Jingshi? It is a coincidence that these two things are compared as a stratagem, and it is like an arm; Or do you already know something you don't know?

Gu Xi's expression was indifferent, and he said in a manly voice: "The ghosts of the harem in the previous dynasty are worshipped, and they naturally want to pray to the spirits of the deceased of the first emperor to show respect. Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, and the day is full of opportunities, but fortunately, there are two princes who can share the worries on behalf of His Majesty and go to the imperial tomb to hold a sacrificial ceremony. ”

"Sir will be tired of standing for a long time, please take a seat first." The emperor smiled slightly, and motioned for Gu Xi to sit down and talk again.

Gu Xi was not polite, and sat down calmly on the Taishi chair on the left hand side. Chu Ruirong's eyes flashed over him, but he didn't seem to notice it, smiled slightly, and said eloquently: "Since the ghost of the harem was killed outside the palace, the undead naturally cannot enter the royal mausoleum again, but to comfort the soul of the dead, you must ask the monks to bless it, and then choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury it properly, and the important thing is that there must be a royal person here." In this way, you can sacrifice to the soul for the stability of the country for many years; Second, there is also the emperor's spirit to dissipate the resentment, and it can also ensure that there will be no more chaos in the future. ”

At this point, Yun Yanlong already had a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, but the appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yi was even deeper.

"It is not far from Kyoto to Jizhou, the second emperor, and the road here is far away, so you need to send someone to escort you. If there is a royal person to escort it in person, it can show the sincerity of the royal family to eliminate the disaster, which can not only appease the people of the capital, but also allow the soldiers who escorted the unjust souls to go to Jizhou with peace of mind, which will require another prince to share the worries for His Majesty. The smile on the corner of Gu Xi's lips seemed to be absent, his eyes drooped slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The Forbidden Palace has its own Chu Commander and the Praetorian Guards to strictly guard and protect Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must have trusted people in his heart inside and outside the palace gate to take important positions, so that the Forbidden Palace and the outside can supervise and defend each other." Moreover, as for the main roads outside the city gate, His Majesty also asked the Nine Heavenly Cavalry and the patrol battalion of the eldest princess of Fengwu to restrain each other and strengthen patrols in a balanced manner to prevent unforeseen chaos. ”

Chu Ruirong was secretly shocked in his heart, after this person's calculations, he had already taken advantage of the chaos in Kyoto, and imprisoned various suspicious people in the imperial tomb; or sent out of Kyoto; or monitored outside the city gate, even the prince who was far away in Jizhou was in its layout of mutual checks and balances, and no one could slip through the net.

In this way, if the troublemakers do not act, they will not have time to erase the traces, and they will surely gain something under the thorough investigation of all parties; If the troublemakers can't help it, the final chaos will inevitably break out in the near future, and the victory or defeat will be in the upcoming battle. In this game of chess pieces, although the opponent started the game, he was forced by this person to be like a chess piece against the guest, and it seemed that he was about to seize the opportunity and disrupt the opponent's seemingly interlocking plan.

Yun Yanlong's face looked gloomy and uncertain in the gloom, and his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, hiding the murderous intention.

Gu Xi tapped his finger on the desk, and there was a small sound of "tuk" in the silence, and the voice came leisurely: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are fast, and they are secret. ”

"I wonder where Mr. will be then?" The deeper the smile on the corner of Yun Yanlong's lips, the sharper and more pressing the Yin Owl's eyes.

Gu Xi smiled lightly on his face, his eyes were like clouds, and he replied with a refined smile: "Back to Your Majesty, there must be one or a group of wizards around the person who planned this matter, and if you want to meet with one of them, you will be in the city at that time." The inside and outside of the city gate must be investigated from this moment on, and if they do not take advantage of the situation and start the incident in advance, they will definitely take the opportunity to flee the capital. ”

"How did Sir conclude that they had no one dormant in the palace waiting for trouble?" The emperor's voice was faint and authentic, and it was impossible to distinguish the emotions in it. After the ghost incident, he has deeply realized the horror of the witch technique, but helplessly within this entire Jingshi, at this moment, it seems that except for the young man in front of him who has the ability to crack this technique, the rest of the people are helpless. If there is a wizard hiding in the palace and wants to continue to murder him, wouldn't it be impossible to prevent it in the forbidden garden? But at this moment, he can't say it clearly, he can't show weakness like this, and he can't calmly entrust his worries and safety to this young man he met for the first time.

Although he held an important spy report about the origin of this young man's identity in his hand, the spies had found Ji Mengshan's token in the package of Gu Xi in the "Weiyun Garden", and rubbed a copy and submitted it. He had also taken out the token rubbings that had been passed down in the secret box and carefully compared them with one by one, and there was indeed no mistake. If it weren't for this, this young man would never have appeared in the back garden of the Forbidden Palace so easily, and even so, he still couldn't fully trust people as an emperor.

Gu Xi realized in his heart, and said calmly: "The intention is to lure the snake out of the hole and relieve His Majesty of this worry." If you want to find a hidden wizard in the palace, I am afraid that it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it will not necessarily lead to results, if you have been by Your Majesty's side, I am afraid that this person will also be vigilant, and maybe he will always hide here, lurking in. ”

When Chu Ruirong heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head secretly, agreeing with his statement.

"It turns out that Mr. has a plan in his heart, but please elaborate." The Emperor smiled slightly, and the tension at the corners of his lips gradually eased.

Gu Xi's face couldn't see the depth, his eyes were still as dark as pitch and couldn't see the bottom, sitting in the palace in white-clothed Shengxue, like a glimpse of the light and untouchable, he said leisurely: "First of all, we must cut off the contact between the hidden people in the palace and the people who plan outside the palace, so that they are isolated and fall into the hesitation of being abandoned; Moreover, if the people outside the palace really evacuated, they would be wiped out, and if there was no movement, they would also create a false rumor that people outside the palace would cause trouble, and spread to all parts of the forbidden palace; Finally, the palace created some signs of laxity at the right time, so as to lure the hiders to attack. ”

"In this case, is it not to put Your Majesty in danger?" Chu Ruirong asked first, staring at Gu Xi's eyes with obvious disapproval.

The smile on the corner of Gu Xi's lips drew a trace of arc inexplicably, and said idly: "It is the duty of the Chu Commander to protect His Majesty, if the Hider uses force, there will be his own Chu Commander and the Praetorian Guard to kill in front of the Emperor; If the hider uses the magic of witchcraft, there is naturally a good way to protect His Majesty, so why should the Commander of Chu worry about this. ”

Chu Ruirong was displeased by him, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the emperor, so he didn't argue with him anymore, and waited and saw what good way he could protect the emperor's thoughtfulness?

In the face of his scorching gaze, Gu Xi's eyes were still clear and noble without a trace of dust, turned to face the emperor, and said softly: "There is something presented to Your Majesty, and this thing can ensure that Your Majesty is not disturbed by Gu things." Commander Chu, I beg you to present to Your Majesty the items that have been handed over to you for safekeeping before entering the palace. ”

Gu Xi's eyes suddenly flashed with a casual smile, he had already seen that Chu Ruirong didn't dare to dump him. Otherwise, once asked by the emperor at this critical juncture, he said that he had given Commander Chu a sleeve and fell away, and this matter might not be on whose head.

Chu Ruirong reluctantly took out a square box from his arms, held it with both hands, and respectfully placed it on top of several cases far away from the emperor. It was a box carved in sandalwood with an extremely delicate carving, and the faint aroma and the shape of Bogu all exuded a trace of elegance. He got the emperor's signal, and then he reached out and slowly opened the box, revealing a ring-shaped white jade inside the black lacquered box.

Although the white jade is carved with exquisite double dragon spit beads, there is no new idea, under the reflection of the sunlight outside the window, it is better to be white in color like the first snow, and the luster is warm and moist like flowing water.

"Sir, I don't know what kind of treasure this is?" The Emperor stared at this gorgeous white jade ring, and his eyes that had gone through countless treasures could not recognize its specialness.

Chu Ruirong lowered his eyelashes, and a trace of disdain rose in his heart. It's just a fine piece of jade, so what's there to boast about?

Gu Xi lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Please ask Commander Chu to pick up this white porcelain." ”

Chu Ruirong didn't expect that this would not be a white jade ring, and after a moment's pause, he reached out and gently picked up the round white porcelain, and his heart was suddenly surprised, his tentacles were slightly cold, and he was as light as nothing. He looked into the sunlight a little, and saw that this white porcelain was almost transparent, and the porcelain wall was as clear as jade, carefully held on the palm of his hand like an empty eggshell, and it seemed that it would shatter in an instant with a little force. His expression condensed slightly, and the double dragon that spit out the beads knew at a glance that it was from the hands of the official kiln craftsman, but this white-clothed young man was really extraordinary, he was able to fire this white porcelain so light and smooth without a trace of crack damage, and the luster was better than mutton fat and jade. I was afraid that there was no one in the Jingshi of Wei Guo who could do it, so I looked at Gu Xi sideways, and I didn't know what to do next, and I didn't see the mystery of this.

Gu Xi saw his confusion, smiled lightly, got up elegantly, came over and reached out and gently pulled the white porcelain ring from his palm. Pinching it with two fingers, the other hand actually gently turned the bead that seemed to be porcelain between the two dragons, and a faint layer of purple smoke slowly rose around the air of the white porcelain ring. He said leisurely, "This is a movable stopper that can be taken out to put some Gu repellent spices that are being adjusted in the adjustment. His Majesty only needs to wear this object on his body, and the fragrance will escape from the gap between the rotating beads, and the Gu worm will die down when it smells it, and can no longer do anything. ”
