Chapter Seventy-Two: Life Is Like a Mustard

Twenty years ago, Emperor Xiaoyuan died in the capital Weiyang Palace, at the age of 42, so far Li Biao ascended the throne, the new emperor was established, coinciding with the flood in the southern region that was rare in a century, hundreds of people were displaced, under the instigation of the remnants of the former Qin, Changsha, Jiangling, Sichuan and Shu and other places have outbreak of refugee riots.

So, under the instructions of the new emperor Li Biao, as a childhood friend, Jiang Feng founded the Imperial History Mansion, enveloping all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, wearing embroidered clothes, tied with bamboo at the waist, and supervising all parts of the country, its primary task was to suppress the peasant rebellion, and then with the repose of the riot, the Imperial History Mansion began to supervise the magnates in the court, and those who saw the transgression behavior, first cut it and then played, and under the secret permission of His Majesty, executed several people who had opposed Li Biao's accession to the throne, and the seized finances were collected into the private treasury, which was the original intention of the establishment of the Imperial History Mansion.

With the passage of time, the power of the Imperial History Mansion has gradually expanded, and its influence has spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty, and the relationship between its leader Jiang Feng and the Son of Heaven Li Biao began to become ambiguous, as a childhood friend, Li Biao trusted Jiang Feng very much, in the past twenty years, no matter who played the impeachment of the Imperial History Mansion, the saint ignored it, as for why he trusted him so much, this matter has to start from twenty years ago.

In the twilight of filial piety, the position of the prince was not established, at that time Li Biao was not the position of the prince, one of them he was not the eldest son, and the second his talent was not the ability to suppress the princes in the palace, the original Xiaoyuan Emperor wanted to set up the eldest son Li Can as the prince, whether it was identity or talent, Li Can was the first choice for the prince's position, at that time the Xiaoyuan Emperor was still very young, so he did not make a clear decree to determine the position of the prince, who would have thought that at the age of forty-two Emperor Xiaoyuan, who only occasionally felt the wind and cold, actually died, half of the will was not left, So the ministers of the court and the central government were ready to elect the eldest son Li Can to ascend the throne according to the custom, and when the ministers of the court and the central government went to Li Can's bedroom, they found that he died inexplicably in the palace, when the first emperor died suddenly, and the southern regions coincided with the riots, and the ministers of the court did not have time to investigate the cause of Li Can's death, and they panicked and elected Li Biao as the second candidate to ascend the throne.

Jiang Feng's face was mysterious, and he smiled secretly, "Do you want to know who killed it?" ”

Xu Jianping was originally listening to the story quietly, but when he suddenly heard this, he hurriedly covered his ears in a panic, and scolded secretly angrily in his heart, "I don't listen, I don't want to know, I'm just a little man." ”

Jiang Feng did not wait for his answer, but continued, "Later, with the stabilization of the situation between Korea and China, and the suppression of the rebellion in the Southern Regions, the regime of the Han Dynasty began to stabilize, because he witnessed the early death of the first emperor Emperor Xiaoyuan, His Majesty began to be obsessed with the art of alchemy, and set up a special mansion in his palace, which raised several Jianghu warlocks, most of whom were the people of the national teacher Zhang Heng. ”

Jiang Feng paused, took a big sip from his teacup, and continued, "Refining pills, raising hundreds of Jianghu warlocks, and building several Taoist halls all require silver taels, the treasury has long been unable to make ends meet, and His Majesty's private treasury is already in an emergency, so he set his sights on ......."

Speaking of this, Jiang Feng didn't say anything more, just sighed softly, "Alas, Your Majesty and I, we can't go back, what I said to you today is to tell Yu Ru, remember, accompany the king like a tiger, act carefully in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask now." ”

Xu Jianping listened to a story in a daze, and knew the entanglement between His Majesty and the Imperial History Mansion, obviously what His Majesty is doing now, Jiang Feng, who is the Imperial History of Embroidered Clothes, does not agree, which has caused the former childhood playmates to become more and more estranged, and after thinking for a long time, Xu Jianping asked, "It is rumored that the Imperial History of Embroidered Clothes is four places a day, why is it the main thing in the Imperial History Mansion?" ”

Xu Jianping has been in charge of the Imperial History Mansion for a few days, except for the occasional ghost doctor Bai Qiuxue, the other three have never seen each other, even the embroidered imperial history Jiang Feng is the first time to see it today, and he may still occupy the light of General Huo.

Jiang Feng looked at Xu Jianping with a smile on his face, and said to him, "Isn't this good, the huge Imperial History Mansion is all under Yu Ru's orders, how many people dream of it." ”

Xu Jianping pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly, "My subordinates are not talented, how dare I take on this great responsibility, since I have to see Lord Yushi today, I also ask my lord to appoint others, so as not to let my subordinates live in fear." ”

When Jiang Feng heard this, his face changed, and he said sharply, "You think that you want to sit in this position, and you can leave if you want to, how can a manly man have no ambition at all, and I have such great expectations for you." ”

Xu Jianping was taken aback, and suddenly thought that at this moment in Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, his lazy personality in the past was indeed not right, so he hurriedly bent down and said, "What the adult taught is that his subordinates know their mistakes!" ”

Jiang Feng retracted his anger at this time, rolled up his sleeves, sighed softly, and said, "Alas, you can't blame Ru Ru, you sat in this position when you first arrived, the foundation is not stable, the experience is not good, and it is indeed inconvenient to act, you can know why the huge Imperial History Mansion is in charge of you, this is Your Majesty's will, the envoys of the four major places are not allowed to be stationed in Kyoto, and the people stationed in Beijing are not allowed to be in charge, this is Your Majesty's means." ”

Only then did Xu Jianping understand that the contradiction between Lord Jiang and His Majesty had become so acute, and the Imperial History Mansion had developed too fast in recent years, and the deviation of the two concepts had caused His Majesty to have to guard against it, "Thank you for mentioning it, your subordinates are clear." ”

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "You don't have to worry, Your Majesty won't be embarrassed with me at the moment, you have to stay in the mansion and learn the way of being a good person. ”

For a long time, after Yushi Jiangfeng left, Xu Jianping pondered for a long time, recalling the bits and pieces of his entry into Beijing, except for the battle when he solved the case, he did go too smoothly, and he wanted to come here for everything, but he was so anxious to push himself out of the face, did he lose more than he gained?

"Lord Xu, Lord Xu," Xiao Zijun walked in, stood on one side, and called softly.

Xu Jianping came back to his senses, "Well, what's the matter?" ”

"My lord, what should I do about yesterday's Hanabi Street case?" Xiao Zijun handed over the case in his hands to him and asked.

"Well, this case may be investigated together with several cases in the Criminal Investigation Department, and this case will be handed over to this official, and you will now arrange another matter," Xu Jianping took over the facts of the Huahuo Street extermination case and said to him, "Tomorrow, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, the Weiyang Palace will be patrolled by the Praetorian Guards, and the safety of the periphery of the Imperial City will be the responsibility of my Imperial History Office, so you can arrange tomorrow's inspection team and route, don't make mistakes." ”

This is the reason why Jiang Feng came to the Imperial History Mansion today, the birthday of the Queen Mother is the most important thing for His Majesty, so that there can be no mistakes no matter what.

"No!"

Xiao Zijun took the order.

Xu Jianping spread out the case in his hand, although he had already seen a little behind Xiao Zijun yesterday, but after a closer look today, he still felt frightened, is it him again? Hundreds of lives, really like mustard, Xu Jianping clenched his fists.
