Xie Huiming took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This roster was compiled by my father and asked Gao Fuguo. ”

Lan Yu didn't know what to do: "Good and decent, what does the saint want to do with the roster of famous women, could it be that the saint wants to reopen the draft?" ”

The cold smile on Xie Huiming's face became thicker and colder: "Draft? Ten years ago, his father failed to use the spring to leave Han Changdui in the capital, and he returned to the mountains, so that he was in the Jiannan Dao army for ten years, with a very high reputation, the military aspirations, and the military power, and finally became the biggest disaster for the imperial court, but I don't know what method my father used this time, and he really detained Han Changdui in the capital as he wished, and naturally he would not let him go easily, and detained him in the capital as a hostage, and the errands and marriages were all decided by the father, completely cutting off his connection with the Jiannan Dao army, and it took a long time, His prestige and power in the army naturally slowly collapsed, and without Han Changdu, with the few straw bale sons left by King Han, he would not be able to carry the military power of Jiannan Dao. ”

Lan Wei frowned slightly, and it became clear in an instant: "Your Highness means that the saint wants this list in order to give Han Changdui a marriage?" ”

Xie Huiming shook his head: "Not only Han Changdu, but also Leng Linjiang, maybe this king and the Han king." He squinted slightly, his eyes were calm: "The case of the loss of the silver involved most of the court, a military department was almost wiped out, according to the temper of the father, his old man's thunder and anger, but it is not something that can be dispelled by a few words of scolding at the moment, but the father endured the case, I vaguely feel that something is wrong, according to the news from Hexi, this case involves a rather mysterious organization of the Four Holy Sects, but the will does not mention this at all, I am afraid that the father has other plans." ”

Lan Wei was silent, listening to Xie Huiming's words and stopping, she knew that he still had something to explain.

Sure enough, Xie Huiming looked at the treacherous night, holding an orange in his hand, kneading it slowly, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hand and threw the orange into the burning charcoal basin, only to hear the sound of sizzling, a few wisps of smoke rose from the red charcoal fire, and the room was filled with the smell of orange fragrance and burnt paste.

He breathed a shallow breath and ordered, "Let the people in the Internal Guard Division prepare." ”

Lan Ying claimed that it was, and handed over another letter: "Your Highness, this is a shallow portrait. ”

Xie Huiming glanced at the portrait, peeled another orange, slowly and calmly in his hand, and thought: "It looks very beautiful, but it is beautiful and nothing, it is a beautiful straw bag, I didn't expect Han Changdu, such a gentleman who is not close to women, to like this." ”

Lan Yu said matter-of-factly: "The maid has never seen Qing Qian, but I have seen Yao Qi who joined the army in Jingzhao Mansion, if you talk about beauty, that Yao is indeed inferior to Qing Qian, but as His Royal Highness said, Qing Qian is empty and beautiful, but Yao is a clever man." She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Huiming with a smile: "Your Highness, if you let Your Highness choose, Your Highness will choose." ”

Xie Huiming didn't expect Lan Yuan to have such a high opinion of Yao Qi, he thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "If you are a strategist, the smarter you are, the better, but if you choose a concubine, it doesn't matter if you have a brain or not, as long as you are beautiful enough." ”

Lan Yu smiled and nodded: "What His Highness said is extremely true, so the choice of that young envoy Han is also expected." ”

Xie Huiming raised his eyebrows: "Of course, if there is a beautiful and smart person like you, it will be a blessing in life." ”

Lan Yuan's cheeks flew two red clouds, her eyes were extremely bright, she was Xie Huiming's advisor, and she was Xie Huiming's concubine, although she was nameless and pointless, but she was deeply favored, but Xie Huiming had never spoken to her like this, she was heartbroken when she said this, and smiled shyly: "Your Highness." ”

Xie Huiming ignored Lan Yuan's shyness, bent his fingers and tapped lightly, and instructed slowly: "Song Huaide's murder case involves Wang Yuanji, the head of the court, Jingzhao Mansion has no right to investigate him, but the Internal Security Division is different, you send someone to keep an eye on Wang Yuanji to prevent him from talking nonsense." ”

Lan Yuan nodded.

Xie Huiming continued: "The affairs of the Tubo Mission can be suspended for a while, and let Han Changdui go anxiously. ”

Lan Yu said: "Yes, the servant will order to go down." ”

The night is dark, but the lights in the Internal Guard Division are still bright, Emperor Yong'an has issued a decree, and Han Changdui has started to be busy again.

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, Han Changdui raised his head from the stack of extremely tall files and looked at the visitor: "What's wrong." ”

Meng Sui was still far away in Hexi, escorting Xie Mengxia and his party back to Beijing, and it was He Zhenfu, another general flag of the Internal Security Division, who bowed and saluted: "My lord, Huo Shangshu is here." ”

Han Changwan was stunned for a moment, Huo Hanshan has been imprisoned in the prison of the Internal Security Division, Huo Shiqi has never come to visit, today the saint made a clear order, Huo Shiqi came, I don't know what he wants to say to himself.

He said lightly: "Please." ”

After a short time, Huo Shiqi entered the house.

Han Changdui bowed and saluted, and when he raised his eyes, he sighed in his heart.

This Huo Shiqi was older than a few months ago, he was originally very well maintained, but at the age of forty, he had a face in his thirties, more than ten years younger than his actual age, and he had always been envied and jealous by his colleagues.

But as soon as Huo Hanshan's incident came out, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and quickly showed an old state, wrinkles between his eyebrows and eyes, his sideburns were gray, and his back was not as straight as before.

Although Emperor Yong'an did not severely reprimand him, let alone dismiss his officials, he imprisoned Huo Hanshan in the Department of Internal Guards.

What kind of place is the Internal Guard Division, it is even more eerie than the eighteenth layer of hell, and there are countless people who go in vertically and come out horizontally.

He also thought about begging Xia Jigang to be accommodating and let him see Huo Hanshan, but before he could speak, he was blocked back by Xia Jigang.

Now that the saint has a clear will, he dares to step into the door of the Internal Security Division, but when he thinks that he asks a junior to be accommodating and gracious, his heart is a little unhappy, but he has a request, so he politely replied with a salute, and said very sincerely: "Young Envoy Han, the old man is here to see my unsuccessful son." ”

In the dim light shadow, Han Changdu's expression was faint, he couldn't see joy and anger, and even a little cold.

He said lightly: "Huo Shangshu's meaning, the lower officials understand, it's not that the lower officials are unreasonable, it's really the sage's anger, and the lower officials' responsibilities can't be accommodated." ”

Although this tone was tactful, the words were blunt, and the frightened Huo Shiqi choked up, and said with difficulty: "Young Envoy Han, the old man knows that this matter is embarrassing for the young envoy, but since the sage has clearly ordered the young envoy to appease the Tibetan mission, the young envoy must always find out what happened that day." He paused slightly, and when he saw Han Changdu's nod in agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Yande is timid, so scared that he is easy to remember things clearly, and he talks nonsense, after Han Shao Envoy comes back, he wants to be busy, and he hasn't had time to examine Yan De in detail, if there is a person close to Yan De by his side, his mind can be calmer, and he can be more detailed, which is beneficial and harmless to Han Shao Envoy's errand." ”

Han Changdui pursed his lips, revealing a look of deep groaning, the sage just asked him to find out about Huo Hanshan and appease the Tubo Mission, and did not say that Huo Shiqi could not see Huo Hanshan, he didn't need to offend the Ministry of Officials in this matter.

He pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "It's okay, Lord Shangshu, please go to the prison with the lower officials." ”

Huo Shiqi really didn't expect Han Changwan to be so easy to speak, he typed a belly of drafts, ready to spend more time talking to Han Changwan in the middle of the night, and even when he was leaving, he also took a piece of ginseng in his mouth, in case he fainted after staying up for a long time.

I never thought that Han Changwan would agree so easily, and his preparations were all in vain.

His ginseng piece, it was a hundred-year-old ginseng, and I felt sorry for him.

Huo Shiqi covered his heart and followed Han Changdui to the prison.

The prison of the Internal Guard Division was built underground, and it was not as damp as expected, but the cold air and the bloody breath of the forest persisted for a long time.

Huo Shiqi shuddered and followed Han Changdui into the depths.

The dim light illuminates the surroundings more than enough.

On both sides of the trail are prison cells, which are very different from those of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department.

From the outside, the prison of the Department of Internal Security was made of large blocks of blue bricks, and there was no door on the wall, but a square window was opened at a very high point that could only allow one person to pass through, and once a prisoner was imprisoned, the window was locked from the outside.

In addition to the windows, a small window the size of a palm was opened in the wall to monitor the prisoners in the prison.

The cells of the Department of Internal Security are not very large, and each cell can only accommodate one person lying on his side, and another bucket can be placed.

The walls of the prison are made of special cork, without any protrusions, to prevent the prisoner from hitting the wall or committing suicide by other means.

And if there is a wall of fire in the wall, and a stove is lit outside, the heat will spread along the wall of fire, and the prison will be dry and hot, and finally the person will die of thirst and heat.

Huo Shiqi didn't know the mystery in this wall, but seeing that this wall was much thicker than the walls of the cells of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, fortunately, his son was squatting here, so he couldn't even give birth to the idea of robbing the prison.

When I walked to the end of the path, I suddenly saw a circular hall, with various torture instruments placed along the walls, with a cold chill, which made people shudder when they looked at it.

Han Changwei politely invited Huo Shiqi to sit down, poured tea with his own hands, and ordered someone to bring Huo Hanshan over.

In just a moment, Huo Hanshan was brought into the hall.

He had lost a lot of weight, and his face was a little withered, but he was not desperate, and he did not wear any shackles on his body, but his clothes were a little dirty, but he was obviously not punished.

Huo Shiqi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes blinked, and he forced back the old tears in his eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Evil obstacles, are you guilty." ”

Huo Hanshan trembled, fell to his knees all of a sudden, looked at Han Changwan and the two and cried: "Wronged, I was wronged." ”
