Chapter Seventy-One: The Secrets of the Imperial Mansion

As everyone in the hall sat down one by one, after a period of greetings, everyone looked at General Huo, after all, on official positions, on status, on strength and weakness, General Huo is the first person in today's imperial court, even if everyone is looking for Xu Jianping, they have to let General Huo first, especially Ge Qingyun, the secretary of Dali Temple, today is the last day of the ten-day period, and the night pearl is missing at the moment, last night, Ge Qingyun was sleepless all night, and finally saw Xu Jianping wake up at this moment, that anxious eyes, looked at Xu Jianping dryly, but didn't dare to ask.

Seeing this, General Huo picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said to Xu Jianping, "Virtuous nephew, I have asked for something when I came here today, and I specially asked Lord Yu Shijiang's opinion, and he asked me to come and talk to you personally." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned, and the people who could make the Jiupin General ask if there is geometry in the world, if the Jiupin martial artists can't do it, how many people in the world can do it.

Xu Jianping was also shocked in his heart, he knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and it was obviously not easy for General Huo to come forward in person, so he wanted to refuse, but for some reason, looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, he was still working hard for the world in the year of the cane dynasty, and he actually felt pity, yes, it was indeed pity, "General, please command, you must do your best in the future." ”

General Huo didn't say it explicitly at the moment, but said to him, "After the Queen Mother's birthday is over tomorrow, you will talk to you in detail in the old mansion." ”

Xu Jianping looked at Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the side of the embroidered clothes, and saw that he nodded slightly, obviously he also knew about this matter, and said, "The subordinates receive the order." ”

General Huo nodded, and said to the rest of the people, "It's not above the court, let's just be casual, the old man will talk so far today, please wait." ”

When Ge Qingyun heard this, he raised his eyes and looked around, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, and said to Xu Jianping, "Lord Xu, where is the pearl of the night now, have you been?" ”

Xu Jianping had long known that it must be coming for the Night Pearl, stretched out his right hand, and beckoned to the door behind him, the yellow character Yushi Zeng Chengcai walked in with a wooden box in both hands, Xu Jianping stretched out his hand to take it, and said to Ge Qingyun, "Lord Ge, the Night Pearl is here, you can take it and hand it over." ”

Ge Qingyun's hanging heart finally let go, a tired face finally showed some human appearance, three steps and two steps, walked to the front, took the wooden box with both hands, and didn't care about anything else, nervously opened the wooden box, carefully opened the layers of gauze covered on it, and a green night pearl stayed quietly in the wooden box, even if it was broad daylight, the light on his body was still breathtaking.

Kyoto Prefecture Yin Song Huaijin also came over, after all, when His Majesty issued the order, it was the two of them, although he didn't seem to care about it on the surface, but he was also very nervous in his heart, "Lord Xu, there won't be anything in the cell!" Thinking of the dozens of officials in his house who died because of this case, I have palpitations.

Xu Jianping nodded at him and said sincerely, "Two adults, don't worry, this pearl is just an ordinary night pearl now, and the specific leisure will be recorded in the case later." ”

Xu Jianping was thinking at the moment, whether the matter of having a soul in the Soul Devouring Bead should be recorded, how to record it, and how to hide the matter of himself and the sword spirit in his body? So at the moment, he didn't tell everyone what had happened in the past two days, because he hadn't thought about it yet.

Ge Qingyun and Song Huaijin were relieved when they heard this, especially Ge Qingyun, who gave him a big gift with excitement, "Thank you Xu Yushi, if you need it in the future, you can come to a certain mansion." ”

At this time, Jiang Feng, the embroidered imperial historian, smiled and said to him, "Master Ge, this is the outside, you have forgotten, Xu Yushi Ke has another layer of identity." ”

Although Xu Jianping didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Feng's words, he also reflected it, and hurriedly said, "What my lord mentioned is that it is still the temple of Dali Temple below, and it is a matter of course to investigate the case and find things. Lord Ge, you're too outward-looking. ”

When Ge Qingyun heard this, he laughed, closed the wooden box, put it on the table, turned around, patted Xu Jianping's shoulder, and said to him, "In this way, Ge Mou is not good to say, but he has forgotten the identity of Xu Xian's nephew, and they are all his own family." ”

Xu Jianping only then understood that Jiang Feng reminded him of another layer of identity at this moment, obviously for this moment, you know, embroidered clothes are not officials, this has been an iron law for 20 years, and I don't know how Jiang Feng negotiated with His Majesty, what price did he pay for Xu Jianping's position in the temple, and what benefits he could get.

In this way, only Li Jingrui, the head of the household department, was left to speak, Xu Jianping faced him and said, "What can Master Li tell today?" ”

Li Jingrui looked stunned, as if he was dozing off at school, and was suddenly named by the teacher to answer the question, shook his head and said, "Li is just accompanying Master Huo today, and there is nothing important." ”

It turned out that after the morning of the dynasty today, General Huo called Li Jingrui and asked him about Xu Jianping's current situation, and then came to the Imperial History Mansion together.

When Xu Jianping heard this, he nodded, and after a while of greetings, everyone left one after another, and Xu Jianping and Jiang Feng sent everyone to the gate of the Imperial History Mansion. After everyone left, Jiang Feng turned around and said to Xu Jianping, "Do you have a lot of problems?" ”

Xu Jianping nodded, yes, he did have a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't open them.

"Go in, don't be restrained, if you have any questions, you can ask me" Jiang Feng seemed to understand people's hearts very well, and took the lead in the house.

In the hall, Jiang Feng, the embroidered emperor, retreated from the crowd, sat on the chair, and pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down and say, don't be so restrained, you see, how about my robe?" ”

Xu Jianping sat opposite him, he didn't care about his dress before, and listened to his words at this time, so he carefully observed the yellow robe on Xia Jiang Feng's body, apricot yellow? The fabric is satin, looking at its workmanship, it is obviously everyone's work, and I don't feel anything abnormal at a rough look, no, there is embroidery on its waist, purple embroidery, dragon pattern? No, it's a whole dragon, a five-clawed golden dragon? Xu Jianping looked stunned, and then he understood that the special thing about this dress was that ordinary people dared to embroider dragon patterns on the placket, let alone a whole five-clawed golden dragon.

Jiang Feng saw the change in his expression, obviously knowing that he had discovered the secret inside, and said flatly, "This is a gift from His Majesty twenty years ago, and it is a symbol of the embroidered clothes and imperial history. ”

Xu Jianping smacked his tongue, originally thought that the purple embroidered robe was the special costume of the Imperial History Mansion, but he never thought that the first imperial robe was an apricot yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe.

"Do you know, why did Your Majesty set up this Imperial History Mansion?" Jiang Feng asked.

Xu Jianping thought of the results obtained from reading the files in the mansion on weekdays, as well as all kinds of rumors outside, and replied, "It is to investigate the people's situation and avenge the people's grievances." ”

Jiang Feng shook his head, his expression was cold, and he said lightly, "No, no, Your Majesty originally set up this Imperial History Mansion, called to investigate the people's situation and punish lawbreakers, but it was actually a move to suppress the riot, expand the private treasury, and solve problems for Your Majesty." ”

The first time Xu Jianping heard this remark, if it was an ordinary person who said it, he would never believe it, but this statement came from the mouth of the founder of the Imperial History Mansion, Xu Jianping was shocked into a cold sweat, "Why am I here, why do I want to know this, I don't know, the more I know, the faster I die?" ”
