The heat in the capital in early autumn has faded, and the city gate cave is still a little shady in the early morning.

"Warm up with a drink."

Zhang Yuan walked over with a pot of wine and an oily paper bag and greeted the guards at the city gate who had just been on duty.

The guards weren't too surprised.

"Lao Zhang, you're here again."

"It seems that your patrol is much more leisurely than ours guarding the city gates."

"Chief, what you said was that he used to be very idle with us."

That's the same, the leader of the city guard twisted his short beard, although he didn't like Zhang Yuan, a difficult guy, but now Zhang Yuan went to the city patrol guard, and it was no longer under his control, so it was not so unpleasant to look at, not to mention that this old boy didn't come empty-handed.

"Come, tell me what you did in those old days." Zhang Yuan said, handing the wine and oil paper packets to the guards, "Taste the mutton buns from Wang's shop."

On duty all night, he was indeed hungry and sleepy, and the guards were not polite, so they took the buns and ate them.

"Is Huo Lian from the Metropolitan Inspectorate back?" Zhang Yuan squatted beside them and asked in a low voice.

This is not the first time Zhang Yuan has asked, the first time he asked, everyone was puzzled, a guy who was driven away by the city gate guards asked what the governor of the capital was doing?

"Have you forgotten, I have a friendship with Hodudu." Zhang Yuan said with a smug face.

Zhang Yuan and Huo Lian have a relationship, everyone is a little dazed, and it took a long time to remember, it seems that a long time ago, there was such a rumor that Zhang Yuan was a lackey for the Metropolitan Prosecutor to track down some suspect.

"So I thought about it, I can't mess around like this, I have to find Huo Dudu, for the sake of my past feelings, give me a good place, become an official or something." Zhang Yuan said triumphantly.

The Metropolitan Prosecutor has always only had a relationship with the prisoner and the dead, what kind of friendship did he have, it was obvious that Zhang Yuan didn't have a relationship with others at the beginning, if he really had a relationship, how could he ignore it in the past few years.

Everyone only thought that Zhang Yuan was stunned, anyway, he was stunned by a lot of things.

Let's just listen to it.

But in the end, eating people has a soft mouth, and if you ask ten times, you will answer five times.

"No, the Metropolitan Inspector has come and gone a lot." One of the guards ate a bun and said, "I didn't see Huo Dudu come back."

"I know, Huo Dudu escorted the Liang brothers back together." Another guard said.

This made the other guards retort, "It's not an escort, it's an escort." "This time, the Northern Navy has made a meritorious service, and so many have been captured, and most of the heads of the masters have been cut off." "Yes, Your Majesty wants a reward." "Who knows, let's only know when we come."

The topic turned to the Northern Navy, Zhang Yuan was not interested in this, but he didn't leave, squatting aside and staring at the city gate, the morning light was getting brighter, and the number of people entering and leaving the city gradually increased, when the two carriages came, the carriage was simple, and the servants were well-dressed, which was a very common person in the capital, no need to check, unimpeded, Zhang Yuan, who was squatting, suddenly rushed out-

"Stop!"

The driver of the car was busy reining in his horse, but fortunately he slowed down after passing through the city gate, otherwise Zhang Yuan would have been knocked down under the carriage.

The carriage and horses shook, the exclamations of people sounded in the car, and the guards at the city gate also rushed over, all of whom were frightened by Zhang Yuan, who suddenly appeared.

Zhang Yuan only looked at the carriage and said, "Routine inspection."

The people around were stunned, what to check? What's more, you Zhang Yuan are not city gate guards, so it's your turn to check?

The leader who was eating the buns was angry and ashamed, and he knew that Zhang Yuan was an unlucky thing, so he threw the buns on the ground and rushed over to grab Zhang Yuan.

"Check your father!" He yelled, "Get out!"

As a result, the quiet city gates of the early morning became noisy, pedestrians stopped in and out, and the curtain of the stopped car was lifted, revealing a young man.

"What's wrong?" He asked, his voice not the slightest bit of anger and dissatisfaction, fresh and pleasant.

The leader of the city gate hurriedly looked over, there were many people in the capital, but there were also many people who were well-known to everyone, and this young son was among them.

"Lord Lu." The leader hurriedly said respectfully, "It's okay, it's okay."

After that, he grabbed Zhang Yuan and kicked back, and scolded again, "Get out."

Zhang Yuan didn't roll, and the leader couldn't kick him, he looked at Lu Yizhi's carriage and horse: "Boss, you have to check it in the morning and night, and you can't stop checking it just because the other party is an official."

I remember the messy rules all day long, what the leader wants to scold, Lu Yizhi smiled.

"I accompanied my father and mother to worship the Buddha." "My parents haven't been in good spirits lately," he said.

He turned sideways, and the people standing in front of the car saw that there were still the Lu family and his wife in the car, their complexions were not very good, and Mrs. Lu was even more frightened.

"In the back of the car are the attendants." Lu Yizhi continued, and at the same time ordered the car behind to also lift the curtain.

Not only did the rear car lift the curtain, but the maids also got out of the car, and Zhang Yuan really took a closer look.

The leader hurriedly grabbed him and pulled him back, and then saluted Lu Yizhi: "Okay, I've seen it, thank you Lord Lu, you go quickly."

Lu Yizhi nodded with a gentle smile and lowered the curtain.

The carriage drove slowly by, and this time Zhang Yuan did not stop him, listening to the whispers of the people on both sides.

"Master Lu and Mrs. Lu's spirits are not very good."

"Is it okay? When I met my prospective daughter-in-law, I was robbed."

"It's time to worship the Buddha, and if you worship the Buddha early, you may not encounter this unfortunate thing."

If it was before, Zhang Yuan might have felt the same way, but now, Huo Lian is very scary, but the daughter-in-law of the Lu family is also very scary, who knows who the Lu family couple was scared of.

Staring at Huo Lian is a must, this Lu Yizhi can't let it go, that woman will appear by their side at any time, Zhang Yuan clenched his hands, and in his ears was the chatter and scolding of the leader of the city gate guards, he didn't care about turning around and leaving.

Lu Yizhi was not angry at being stopped suddenly, although he didn't know what the guard was crazy about, but he just wanted everyone to see what he was doing.

The carriage drove steadily, and the soft cushions in the car were full of incense and hot tea, but the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Lu became more and more bad.

"Did the city gatekeeper stop us—" Master Lu couldn't help but ask.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yizhi: "No."

Mrs. Lu asked in a low voice, "Then what does she want us to do?"

Lu Yizhi looked at the shaking curtain and said, "Spend money."

......

......

Worshipping the Buddha depends on sincerity, and it will also cost a lot of money, and it will also cost a lot of money.

In the imperial study of the imperial city, the emperor looked at the work drawings of the five horses, and on the other side, there were eunuchs unfolding the finished drawings drawn by the painters, which was really a very beautiful and exquisite and unique palace.

Without the majesty and dullness of the palace, coupled with all kinds of ingenious workmanship, it is like a wonderland of Yaochi.

As an emperor, you should have such a palace.

The Emperor was very pleased to see it, but when he looked at the account book on the table, the number on it made him breathe.

The treasury is really not rich, although it is to build a palace for himself, but he is really reluctant, and if the ministers know, it is inevitable to be nagged and questioned, and some bad words are left in the living records.

"It costs .....," the Emperor frowned.

Before he finished speaking, the five horses laughed.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this will cost half of the Shaofu Prison." He said, looking at Uncle Li who was standing on the side, "Master Li is out of the other half."

The emperor looked at Uncle Li Guo with some shock, first, he was shocked that Uncle Li Guo wanted to give half, and then he was shocked that the Li family was so rich.

Over the past year, the queen's shots have become more and more generous, and I thought it was just not so petty, but it turned out to be really rich.

The Li family turned out to be a hidden one?

"The family background was thin before, and later I became the queen by the grace of God, and the elders of the family have always disciplined to keep the poor and avoid arrogance." Uncle Li said, "Over the years, we have seen with our own eyes how difficult it is for Your Majesty, how diligent you are, how hard you are in government, and how hard you can turn the tide, so that the dangerous Great Zhou can return to the prosperous era, and the elders in the family have said that if you want to do your best for Your Majesty, we can't help Your Majesty in state affairs, so that Your Majesty can have a place to relieve fatigue."

The emperor did not

Talking, thoughtful.

Uncle Li Guo gave a gift: "But we have a reluctant request, in the future palace, the queen's residence, please ask Your Majesty to give the word personally."

The Emperor smiled when he heard this.

"The Empress should be asked to inscribe all the residences of the palace." He said, "This should be the queen's palace, and I will go to enjoy it in the light of the queen when the time comes."

The five horses smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the queen's king, and the queen's husband, what do you and I do?" "But we are all outsiders, please remember to bring the princess when the time comes."

The emperor laughed: "What's the matter, how did you and the princess become outsiders, they are all family."

Uncle Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief and took over: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling our wishes."

What was the emperor about to say, there was an attendant at the door and announced, "Lord Liu Yan and Lord Liu are here."

Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly waved his hand to the five horses and Uncle Li Guo, and the two of them comprehended that they were busy putting away the account book of the work map for the eunuch to hide, and the emperor then ordered "Xuan" to the inner servant.

Liu Yan walked in and saw the five horses and Uncle Li Guo at a glance, and his eyes stayed on the five horses, although the current five horses are not so timid, but they are still afraid of a minister like Liu Yan with a straight face, coupled with a thief's weak heart, he can't help but dodge his eyes, and stuff and stuff the workmanship in his sleeve.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty." Liu Yan saluted, and got up again, "Last time, the minister asked for a retrial of the murder of the husband of the woman of Qizhou, can Your Majesty have an approval?"

The emperor sighed and asked the attendants beside him, "I have written it, and I will hand it over to Lu Hanlin to sort it out and call him."

The inner attendant hurriedly went, and soon came back, holding the music in his hand, but Lu Yizhi did not follow.

"Lu Hanlin took leave the day before yesterday, saying that his parents were not in good health, so he accompanied him to worship the Buddha." The chamberlain said, "The music has been arranged."

The Emperor slapped his forehead, "Yes, he told me."

Too busy to forget.

He motioned to the waiter to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan took it and looked at it thoughtfully.

Uncle Li Guo glanced at the five horses, and the two of them saluted together: "The minister will retire first." He also made a nonsense excuse, "I hope Your Majesty will approve the banquet."

The Emperor nodded, "I know."

The two retreated, and when they arrived at the door, they heard Liu Yan say: "Your Majesty should stay away from relatives, not to connive, let alone indulge in fun, although Lord Liu has skillful craftsmanship, but he is too late, and his miraculous skills are ingenious, hurting the country and the people."

The five horses' faces turned pale, and Uncle Li Guo hurriedly pulled him to walk a few steps quickly, leaving the imperial study, before he smiled and comforted the five horses: "Don't worry, these ministers are all in this way, and if you don't scold your relatives, you'll be sorry."

The five horses squeezed out a smile: "Lord Liu has never scolded me like this before, it's scary."

Uncle Li Guo was about to say something, and several officials came quickly and saluted the two of them.

"Lord Liu, some of the materials you detained earlier that you said could not be moved without an order, the merchants came to ask for instructions, saying that someone was in a hurry."

Before the five horses could say anything, Uncle Li frowned: "Who?"

The official said, "It's Lu Hanlin, who said he wanted to donate a pagoda to the temple."

Uncle Li Guo smiled: "It turned out to be him." Looking at the five horses, "It seems that Lord Lu's father and mother are not lightly ill."

The five horses waved their hands: "Give it to him, give it to him, it wouldn't have been used so much, he used it to let him take it, and he is not an outsider."

Yes, he is an official of the imperial court, and he is valued by the emperor, he has a bright future, and he is not a miscellaneous person, Uncle Li Guo smiled and did not speak again.

There is no secret about the movements of the officials, and soon the emperor will know that Zhu Chuan walked into the imperial study, and as soon as he probed, he was scolded by the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Chuan said aggrievedly, "The minister hasn't said anything."

The emperor said angrily, "Whatever you say, it's all Huo Lian's iniquity!"

Zhu Chuan shouted even more injustice: "We are all not here, I almost lost my life in the north, and I have made such a great contribution, but there is no reward, the world doesn't know, how can Your Majesty still scold him——"

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, and the old bookworms are using it.]

Source App,]

The emperor slapped the table and told him to shut up: "When will Huo Lian come back!"

Zhu Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to complain: "This is even more aggrieved, Your Majesty, this is all to blame on the brothers of the Liang family, they are grinding and grinding, and they don't know what to do, so that our governors can't set off——"

The emperor was even more angry, grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it at him: "Then what are you still pestle for, why don't you check what they are doing!"

Zhu Chuan skillfully took the teacup and raised it: "The minister obeys the order!"

......

......

At night, the lights of the Metropolitan Inspectorate were bright, and Zhu Chuan sat behind the table, and the piled up of books almost buried him.

On the other side, a few scribes were quickly flipping through, copying, and marking.

With the candle flame beating, a scribe stood up.

"Your Excellency." He said, handing over a few volumes in his hand, "Sorted out within five years, these books are excellent praises for the record, and these books are gossip about the impeachment test."

Zhu Chuan raised his eyelids and knocked on the table: "Okay, stay here."

It turned out to be a good one? The scribes glanced at each other, it seemed that this time the emperor really wanted to reward the Liang brothers of the Northern Navy, and he responded and put down one of the volumes.

Since the Liangsi incident, everyone has avoided the Northern Navy, and it is much more difficult to collect and praise their things and words than to list the charges.

Zhu Chuan still didn't look at it, yawned, and waved his hand: "That's it, if Your Majesty asks something, just go and rest."

The scribes responded by packing up their things and retreating, but they could not go to rest immediately, two of them returned the documents to the storeroom, and one of them walked to the back of the storeroom with the booklet of the Liang brothers of the Northern Navy who had not been told by his subordinates.

The tall houses block the lights, and the place is darkened by night.

The scribe walked into the darkness with his head bowed, and then respectfully held up the book.

"Governor." He said, "Vice Envoy Zhu doesn't want this."

The figure swayed in the darkness, and someone knocked on the table: "Put it down."

At the same time, a ghostly light lit up.

The scribe looked at Huo Lian, who was sitting on the ground and wrapped in black, in the light and shadow in front of him, and respectfully put down the book.
