Chapter 3 The undercurrent is surging, and the tide is hitting the pole
Yesterday something big happened.
It was not that General Xu Lao set fire and hung Xu Xiaofat to beat him, nor did Guozijian Fan Shu give a lecture on sacrificial wine, attracting 800 students to listen to the teaching, and it was not that the outsider Chen Liu was arrested and inexplicably became the head catcher of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, but the door of the Jingzhao Mansion Prison opened for some reason, and the prisoners fled in all directions, shocking Kyoto!
The government and the opposition were shaken, and the prince of the prison country was furious, and directly dismissed Yin from Jingzhao Mansion and investigated it, and all the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were placed on probation, if the case could not be solved within ten days, all the people in Jingzhao Mansion would be exiled to the border of Mobei!
How Jingzhao Mansion Yin shouted grievances, Jinyiwei didn't care, just lock the shackles, and go to the edict prison to explain any so-called grievances.
As for the others, seeing their own adults so embarrassed, they are even more worried about their future.
"Mobei is not far away?"
"It's not far, I guess I'll die before I get there."
I don't know if it was for the strength of the crowd and brainstorming, or if I wanted to pull a few backs casually, the officials and head hunters of Jingzhao Mansion went to the streets to forcibly recruit dozens of civilians as heads, including Chen Liu.
He was still worried about where to live, but he didn't expect a big brother to come over and ask directly:
"Headcatcher? The treatment is very good, eat official meals, iron rice bowls! ”
At that time, Chen Liu thought that there were also pyramid schemes in ancient times, and he planned to quickly walk away after refusing, but he didn't expect that a few big men suddenly appeared behind him, and they directly suppressed his hands and feet.
Then he cut off his index finger and pressed his handprint on an unknown piece of paper, and then a middle-aged document took a large seal and stamped it, and collected the yellow paper with the handprint in his sleeve.
Before Chen Liu could react, he let go of his hands and feet, and threw a piece of clothing on his body, and there were two broken pieces of silver and a yellow-skinned book.
"You will be the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion in the future, this is your clothes and the first month's Yulu. You can also use this little thing for exercise...... Forget it, it's useless to use it. ”
The middle-aged clerk shook his head, thinking that he might be exiled to the desolate and barren desert north, waiting for death in countless winds and sands, and his heart was infinitely sad.
Although he went around arresting people so that he could arrest those prisoners and seek more life, he had tried so many prisoners with Lord Yin, and he had never seen any miracles happen, and he should not hesitate to behead for a moment, and he should not be exiled for half a minute.
At this time, the only thing that made him wonder was that the Criminal Department, Jinyi Guard, and the Capital Patrol Battalion seemed to have a feeling of standing by and watching. Although they must be afraid of getting into a commotion without making an inch, it is always inappropriate to stay out of the matter like this.
After all, after Lord Yin was dismissed, the Jingzhao Mansion was leaderless, and it was impossible to host this arrest.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and said to Chen Liu:
"You will be numbered nine-five-two-seven and go with them to arrest the fugitives. If you're lucky, we'll be colleagues in the future, and you can have a celebration banquet, and I'm a treat to the teacher's office, but I'm unlucky...... Please have a meal too. ”
So, Chen Liu, who looked ignorant, probably didn't expect that not long ago, he was still laughing at that little fat man, and now he has become a glorious Jingzhao Mansion catcher.
Chen Liu naturally sensed the problem, but firstly, he was now coerced by these people from Jingzhao Mansion, and there was no way, and secondly, he also had a way out, so he was not afraid to go deep into the tiger's den.
At the same time, in the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, even the cabinet elders who were in the center of the court couldn't help but sweat profusely at this moment, not to mention the principals of the six departments who were summoned by the crown prince.
Most of them didn't dare to breathe, they only dared to look down at the ground, praying that the crown prince's killing rod would not fall on their heads.
At this time, perhaps only the old man of the cabinet, who was lying on the chair authorized by His Majesty and pretending to be asleep, could keep his mind calm.
At this time, although Li Wan seemed to be very calm, and even drank the new tea that Nanzhao had just paid tribute to, her heart was almost exploding.
He had been in power for less than half a month when this happened.
If someone has ulterior motives to take advantage of it, the small one will be considered incompetent by the court, and the big one can even use the name of "heaven" to say that he is not in the right position, and his virtue is not worthy, and he cannot be in charge of the center of the beam at all.
This is actually not possible, it is an inevitability that Li Wan can already predict.
His good brothers should not have missed this good opportunity to stab his dear brother, and even he already suspected that this farce might have been done by someone, but there was no evidence.
"Your Excellency is my courtier, do you have any good plans for this?"
Li Wan put down the teacup, tapped on the table, and began to attack.
Of course, he was answered by silence.
Your Excellency naturally has to give full play to the demeanor of a gentleman at this time, and you have the demeanor of Kong Rong to make a pear, and this opportunity to show your face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must of course be given to others.
The only thing that is a little surprising is that they may be too decent, so that the prince's face is becoming more and more ugly.
"Lord Liu, does the Criminal Department have any explanation?"
Liu Miao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sank in his heart, and estimated that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and forgot to burn incense, so he had to be this up-and-coming bird and bite the bullet.
"The Criminal Department has captured 23 out of 10 of the escaped prisoners, and it is reported that the Jingzhao Mansion Prison suddenly opened at night, and several men in black led everyone to escape, and then disappeared."
Li Wan nodded, but stared at Liu Miao and continued to ask:
"And then?"
"Hmm...... The Criminal Department is still continuing to investigate, and will return to His Highness as soon as there is news. ”
Li Wan didn't speak, but his eyes continued to look at Liu Miao, making him feel a huge pressure.
But in an instant, Liu Miao felt his shoulders loosen again, and Li Wan suddenly smiled and said:
"Well, step aside."
After this fright, Liu Miao was really a little masterless, and he felt from Li Wan that he was very close to the majesty of His Majesty when he was in court.
But it's also an old fritter that has been mixed in the center for so many years, and he retreated.
The commanders of the Jinyi Guards and the commanders of the Beijing Patrol Battalion who appeared later were similar to Liu Miao's rhetoric. However, with Liu Miao's precedent, they would not be so at a loss.
Later, Li Wan didn't embarrass them anymore, and even easily exposed the topic, and discussed with the old man Wang of the Ministry of Rites about the affairs of going down to the south of the Yangtze River to Longhu Mountain after the Spring Festival.
The cabinet meeting ended quite abruptly, and in the end, I saw the prince walking to the old man's side and waking the old man up softly.
"Huh? Finished talking? ”
"After chatting with the old man, this is the tea offered by Nanzhao, the taste is mellow and fragrant, it is very good, I wrapped some for you and took it back to the house."
"Good, good."
The warm scene between the old man and the prince is very similar to the grandfather and grandson, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. As for the others, they could only stand aside, half-bowed, and escorted them out of Wenyuan Pavilion together.
When everyone left, the eunuch put out the candle flame and led out all the eunuchs, palace maids and guards who were waiting.
Li Wan sent Lord Shoufu to the sedan chair before returning, and when he came back, Wenyuan Pavilion was already dark, but Li Wan sent all the guards away and re-entered Wenyuan Pavilion.
A dim candle flame suddenly lit in the pavilion, and an extra chair appeared opposite the old man's chaise longue, forming a confrontation.
Li Wan was not surprised, but took the gold medal hanging from his waist in his hand, walked to the position slightly lower from the emperor's throne and sat down, and hung the gold medal on a picture of Kunyu Huapeng behind the emperor's position.
The gold medal melted instantly, and a drop of gold liquid fell into Kunyu's eyes, and at this moment, the Peng bird seemed to be able to feel the wind surging on his side.
When Li Wan came back to his senses, a middle-aged man smoking a dry cigarette was already sitting on the chair.
He wore a hat on his head, a coat of lily clothes, and a somewhat tattered fishing rod behind him.
"Old man Yu is not dead yet."
In this world, there are not many people who dare to say this to the head of the dynasty, even Li Wan, who is the prince of the prison country, will not be so offended.
But the person in front of him said this, but Li Wan didn't feel anything.
The commander who was in charge of the strongest force in the Liang Dynasty was qualified to say such things.
If Yu Hai Shoufu is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the court, then the existence of this commander's pole is the pillar of the town that stabilizes the Liang army.
"Feng Shuai."
No one in the outside world knows the real name of this commander, even Li Wan doesn't know, only the emperor who really ascended to the supreme position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is qualified to know his true identity.
What Li Wan determined was that the rod playing place was only created during the reign of Emperor Wu.
Other than that, it's just some chasing the wind and shadows.
Externally, he only calls one word, "Feng", and he is the commander of the pole playing department, so he is called "Fengshuai". Of course, when most people actually call him, they only call him "handsome".
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
Although Feng Shuai does not have a good attitude towards the sea, he still maintains basic respect for the royal family.
However, only the emperor is respected at the pole, and the prince's order cannot be influenced by the pole.
If it weren't for Li Wan taking out one of the nine edict gold medals left by Emperor Wu, Feng Shuai would not have come out to see him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spent such a price, but what is the need?"
Emperor Wu's nine gold medals, each of which can only be used once, will dissipate directly after use.
From the death of Emperor Wu to today, the gold medal has been used many times, and the rarity of this token can be seen.
As for the function of this gold medal, it is to be able to help the non-emperor once at the batting!
When Emperor Wu made three chapters of the law for the rod, he gave these nine gold medals to several heroes who protected the country and relatives of the emperor, in addition to endangering the world of the Liang, involving the inheritance of the throne and endangering the survival of the pole, all needs can be met.
The old Guogong issued to them back then, some of them have been ruined and their clans have withered, and there are also those who have gone through hardships and are evergreen, as for where Li Wan's gold medal came from, Feng Shuai didn't care.
He only obeyed the edict left by Emperor Wu and fulfilled his wishes for the gold medalist.
"Declare in advance that the rod should not interfere with the outcome of that position."
"Naturally, I won't go against the legacy of my ancestors, I just hope that Feng Shuai can go to the north to ...... at the pole."
Feng Shuai sat on the chair and listened quietly to Li Wan's request, and Gujing Wubo's face did not show any changes.
After Li Wan finished speaking, Feng Shuai took the fishing rod behind his back to him, used a fishing hook to extinguish the gray candle flame and disappeared into the darkness.
"Your Highness's plans are big, but as you wish."
