"Duguqing's family, why did you say this? Do you know anything inside?"

Situ Sheng looked at Dugu and asked.

Dugu leaned south and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what the specific situation is, but now strange things happen frequently in the court, and people have to be suspicious! There were strange celestial phenomena in the past, and there are strange events today! The ancients had clouds, the country will prosper, there will be auspiciousness, the country will die, there will be demons! If this matter is not investigated, I am afraid that it will make people's hearts panic!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

As soon as Dugu Tiannan finished speaking, a courtier immediately seconded it.

Seeing this, Situ Sheng did not feel meditative.

A few days ago, the courtiers wrote to him that some people in the court had formed a party for personal gain, but he ignored it. The reason is that the six great families have a deep friendship, and the young people have similar temperaments, so it is not a big deal to have more contact with each other.

It's just that today's matter is a little strange, and it doesn't seem to be just an exchange between the children of the family like a few days ago, and I'm afraid there is a major inside story in it.

"Haha! Lord Dugu is inevitably a little alarmist! Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is just people chasing after the wind and making rumors!"

At this time, Baili Feng suddenly stood up and replied with a smile.

"How do Lord Baili know that this is a rumor spread by people? Even if it is chasing after the wind, it can only be caught if there are traces!"

Dugu Tiannan immediately retorted, and after speaking, he held up the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and don't let go of anyone who tries to disturb the dynasty!"

"Lord Dugu is so powerful! You haven't been in office for more than a month, and you haven't spoken in the official history, but you are the first to be in the limelight! Young man, it's better not to be too sharp!"

Baili Feng looked at Dugu Tannan and sneered.

"Lord Baili's lesson is that the lower officials have been taught! It's just that the lower officials have not been in the officialdom for a long time, and they have not learned as thoughtfully and tactfully as adults, but they have to raise their doubts! If they are just good and good, and they are puzzled and do not mention any questions, then what are they doing in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Dugu Tingnan was fearless and fearless, and replied proudly in the face of the hundred miles of wind.

"Okay! What a good speaker of Lord Dugu! Sure enough, he is the heir of the Dugu family! Your Majesty, it seems that our older generation should quit!"

Baili Feng smiled, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Lord Baili, this is presumptuous! Lord Dugu is young and vigorous, and he has just taken office, and it is normal for him to be a little arrogant, why should Lord Baili be like a junior?"

At this time, Dongfang Zhuo, the secretary of the ministry, immediately stepped forward to mediate.

This Baili Feng is usually not a person who cares too much, why did he get into a deal with a junior today?

Of course, Dongfang Zhuo didn't know that when Chengwang Situ Chi came back from the City God Temple last night, he immediately went to Baili Shijia privately and told Baili Feng everything that had happened.

Originally, he was surprised that Situ Chi did not shy away from coming to the door in person, but after listening to Situ Chi's narration, he suddenly felt that the matter was serious!

"His Royal Highness King Cheng, are you saying that someone deliberately became the princess's relic to lure you to the City God Temple?"

Baili Feng was taken aback, no wonder Situ Chi would come so recklessly at night, it turned out that such a strange thing had happened!

"Yes, uncle, this king can't figure out who is framing this king behind his back! That person also used our way of transmitting messages to lure Wu Yong over, and then deliberately lured Jiang Hong, the deputy commander of the forbidden army who patrols the night, to go, the situation was urgent, and Wu Yong had nowhere to hide, so this king had to make up a lie and reluctantly prevaricate! But if this is spread, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to this king!"

Situ Chi's brows were tightly locked, and he still had lingering palpitations about what he had just experienced.

"So if someone really wants to target His Highness! But who knows everything about His Highness so well, and actually copied your private seal and handwriting! And the red ribbon that exchanged news, His Highness can't use it anymore in the future!"

Baili Feng said with a calm face.

"This king knows! This matter will be thoroughly investigated by this king after he goes back, there are not many people who know about this king and Princess Dugu, and there must be a traitor in the house!"

Situ Chi said coldly.

"This matter is not necessarily leaked by the people of the Cheng Palace! When Princess Cheng passed away, didn't Her Royal Highness already purge all the people around her?"

Baili Feng asked suspiciously.

"That's why I suspect it! No one should know about Princess Dugu, how can anyone send her things over and deliberately deceive this king? This is what this king can't figure out the most! This is simply impossible!"

Situ Chi thought of this and felt incredible, the maids who served Dugu Tianyue before his death had all been cleaned up by him with excuses, and now he is dead, crazy, who else knows the inside story of Dugu Tianyue's death?

Thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, Situ Chi was really full of irritability.

"This matter has to be investigated slowly, the top priority is not this matter, there is more important!" Bai Li Feng suddenly frowned and reminded.

"What's the matter?" Situ Chi was stunned.

"The people behind this scene are so meticulous and so seamlessly designed, will it make His Highness get out so easily? I'm afraid that there will be a bigger storm waiting for Your Highness next!"

Baili Feng has been in the officialdom for decades, how can he not see through this? The people behind this curtain clearly want to use Wu Yong as a stepping stone to attack King Situ Chi!

Now the matter of party disputes has been brought up countless times in the court, because the emperor thinks that it is just an ordinary exchange between the children of the family, so he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

However, if the party dispute involves courtiers, then it is a different matter! After all, the six great families have both marriage and world friendship, and it is not strange that they are always together.

But if a courtier meets with the prince in private, it can only be a party for personal gain!

This is probably the purpose of the people behind the scenes!

Seeing that Situ Chi was still a little puzzled, Baili Feng said: "Your Highness still doesn't understand? The person behind the scenes wants to use the incident of the City God Temple to expand his influence and charge His Highness with forming a party for personal gain!"

"What?" Situ Chi finally understood, and said unconsciously anxiously, "Uncle, how should this be?"

Baili Feng frowned and thought for a while: "Your Highness, there is only one way for today's plan, abandon the car and protect the handsome!"

"Abandon the car to protect the handsome?" Situ Chi's heart moved, "You mean to put everything on Wu Yong?"

"That's right! This idiot, I have repeatedly warned him not to act rashly, but he thinks that I am selfish and refuse to let him see you! Now it is good, it happens to be exploited by someone with a heart, if we want to keep Wu Yong, we ourselves will be implicated, the old minister is fine, I am afraid that His Highness will not be able to gain the emperor's trust in the future! This matter is too much to gain and lose, and this must not be done!"

Baili Feng looked at Situ Chi and said: "Your Highness, your lie must be played well, maybe it will come in handy when the time comes! As for Wu Yong, he can only blame himself for being unlucky!"

Situ Chi listened to Baili Feng's words, then he put his mind at ease and quietly returned to Chengwang's mansion. Then arrange everything in the house, just wait for this matter to get bigger, and deal with it smoothly.

Baili Feng is not a loss is a good calculation, and there are indeed people in the court who ferment and expand the Chenghuang Temple incident, and ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly. It's just that he didn't expect that the person who advocated a thorough investigation of this matter turned out to be Dugu Qiannan!

Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional? Baili Feng is actually not sure.

Because the Dugu family didn't know the truth about the cause of Dugu Qianyue's death, if they really knew that the Chenghuang Temple incident involved King Cheng, Dugu Tiannan should be defending King Cheng! After all, the two families are in-laws, and Dugu Tiannan has no reason to frame his brother-in-law?

Baili Feng couldn't figure out whether Dugu Tiannan was really a new official with three fires, or was there something else hidden?

But in any case, it seems that this matter is impossible to be closed, because he has already sensed that the emperor has already taken this matter to heart.

"Alright, don't argue!"

With a wave of his hand, Situ Sheng stopped Baili Feng and Dugu Tanan.

He glanced at His Highness's ministers and said, "Since this matter is suspicious, then pass on my will and order the Punishment Department to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to go through such a big deal in this matter, just send the commander of the forbidden army who patrolled the city last night and ask!"

Dugu Tiannan saw Situ Chi's order, and immediately stepped forward to admonish.

"Then spread the word from last night's commander of the forbidden army patrolling the city to the palace!"

Situ Sheng listened to Dugu Tiannan's words, nodded slightly, and then looked at His Highness's young official in a vermilion court uniform and said, "Xuanyuan has nothing to do, who was on duty in Kyoto last night?"

Xuanyuan has nothing to do, the son of the Xuanyuan family, the eldest son of Xuanyuan Changying, the auxiliary general of the Yaori Dynasty, went out with his father at the age of sixteen, single-handedly broke the commander of the enemy army, and was named the general of Jinwu, such as the peace today, he was appointed as the commander of the forbidden army, in charge of 100,000 forbidden troops, and protected the safety inside and outside the imperial city.

Xuanyuan Wushu saw the emperor's roll call, and immediately stepped forward and replied: "Back to the emperor, Jiang Hong, the left deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was on duty last night!"

"Pass him to the temple immediately!" Situ Sheng waved his hand and signaled to the eunuch beside him.

As soon as the eunuch shook off the dust, he immediately shouted: "There is a decree in the saint, Jiang Hong, the left deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, will go to the palace!"

The holy word quickly passed on, and Jiang Hong did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and immediately changed his clothes and came to Fengtian Temple to reply.

"Jiang Hong, the left deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Jiang Hong lifted his robe and knelt down to salute Situ Sheng.

"Flat!" Situ Sheng raised his hand and said, "Jiang Hong, you were on duty in Kyoto last night?"

Jiang Hong got up and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, it is the subordinates on duty!"

"Then tell me what happened to the old city god temple last night, whether it was a natural vision or something bad about it, and tell me in detail one by one!"

Situ Sheng directly picked out the key points.

Jiang Hong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this matter to be known to everyone!

As soon as he got up early in the morning to inspect the city, he found that many ordinary people were whispering, and when he listened carefully, they were all talking about the City God's Temple, and he was wondering? Why did a small misunderstanding make such a big fuss? He also promised King Cheng not to pursue the matter again, but he did not expect that now the city is full of wind and rain, and even the emperor has summoned him to ask questions!

"Deputy Commander Jiang, just say what you have to say! This matter has made the government and the opposition uneasy, and the people are panicking, the emperor is determined to investigate thoroughly, no matter who is behind the ghost, he can't be easily spared!"

Seeing Jiang Hong's hesitation, Dugu Tiannan immediately explained a few words to him.

"Yes, Deputy Commander Jiang, this matter is very important, Deputy Commander Jiang will think about it clearly, don't be taken advantage of by people with intentions, it will not be good to make the government and the opposition restless when the time comes!"

Seeing this, Baili Feng also suggested that he should open his mouth.

Jiang Hong glanced at the two of them, knowing that he must have been inadvertently involved in the battle between the government and the opposition, but he has always been upright, what to say, hypocritical and cunning things can't be done!

So he replied truthfully: "Enlighten the emperor, it's not what the emperor thinks, last night's City God Temple was just a small misunderstanding, not a natural vision, and it wasn't someone who was making trouble behind his back." ”

"Oh, what the hell is going on then?" Situ Sheng continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, last night His Royal Highness King Cheng went to the Old City God's Temple in order to repay his wish for the late Princess Cheng. But ......"

"But what?"

Jiang Hong stopped halfway through speaking, everyone looked at him in unison, and even Situ Sheng couldn't help but ask.
