Chapter 10 The Storm is Coming

Dachen Kyoto Luoyang City basically retains the architectural scale and style of the Liang period of the previous dynasty.

The imperial city surrounds it and guards the palace. It has a sandwich city in the west, Luoshui in the south, an east city in the east, and a round wall and Yaoyi's important city in the north. In the impregnable palace city, there are more than 50 palaces, platforms and pavilions.

The halls confront each other, the towers stand in a forest, Zhenguan Palace, Luocheng Palace, Wucheng Palace, Eternal Life Palace, Jixian Palace, Yaoguang Palace, Lichun Terrace, Tongxin Pavilion, Dengchun Pavilion and so on. Most of these palaces face south and sit north, high and low, unfold along the central axis, the order is orderly, staggered, and the middle of the palace city is Ying Tianmen.

Outside the Yingtian Gate, the headquarters of the six doors. In front of the window of a signing room, the fiery red flowers on several luxuriant guava trees have been scattered, and a few small lantern-like pomegranate fruits hang among the dense foliage, through the dense foliage, there is a high wall of red bricks and green tiles and a corner of the sky, the sky is dark and cloudy.

Su Yun sat in front of the window and looked at the file in his hand and couldn't help but ponder. Yesterday, Zhang Bailing, the head catcher of Luoshui County, escorted Tan Song's body to arrive, and the file was sorted out overnight in the door. There are not many useful clues, and the killer is still dressed in black, with a special-shaped long knife, this is already the eleventh master of the Hedao Realm who has been assassinated on Unknown Island.

Su Yun looked up at the window, the guava leaves were falling, the sky was full of dark clouds, the light was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Su Yu continued to fall into deep thought, eight years ago, the organization of Unknown Island mysteriously appeared, assassinated the former Shangshu Yu Tong of the Criminal Department, and the file of the assassination of the eldest prince in the secret room of the Criminal Department also disappeared mysteriously. The emperor was furious, and the government and the opposition shook up and down. Because of the suspicion that there were criminal department personnel guarding and stealing, the emperor sent six doors to accept the case, and it was Tan Song who was in charge of the case. Tan Song has been in charge of investigating this matter for several years, could it be that this discovery led to the assassination?

Su Yun was in a trance, and suddenly someone came to report to Shi Li, the servant of the Criminal Department, to see him, interrupting Su Yun's thinking.

The face of the squire of the criminal department is like a crown of jade, with three long beards, and a dignified appearance. Seeing Su Yun and the two of them, they were not polite, and said straight to the point: "My Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department has submitted to the emperor, and the emperor has allowed the Criminal Department to accept Tan Song's case." This case may have started from the theft of the file of the Criminal Department, and now that our Criminal Department has taken over, we will definitely see the light of day and investigate this case to the ground. I would like to ask Master Su to hand over the file and all the relevant matters of the case to this official ......"

Su Yun had read the emperor's edict, and Shi Ligang, the servant of the Criminal Department, had just asked people to take the corpses of Zhang Bailing and Tan Song and the dossier, and was about to say goodbye and go out, when there was a sudden thunder outside the window, and a gust of wind caused the guava tree to shake constantly, and the leaves rattled.

Su Yun stood in front of the window and looked at the mountain rain that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The actions of the criminal department are so fast, it seems that this case is not ordinary, and all the cases are inseparable from the killer of Ignori Island.

I don't know the island, I don't know the island, I really don't know how many people there are in this mysterious organization, and how many people are secretly infiltrated and lurking in the Great Chen Kingdom. The court is now surging undercurrent, the water in it is too deep, and there are some things that cannot be controlled by the head catcher of a small six doors......

Su Yun sighed and was about to close the window, but there was another muffled thunder, and it started to rain. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the leaves outside the window were crackling, and the sky in the distance became cloudy and I couldn't see anything clearly......

In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Chen was discussing state affairs with his ministers, and today was a routine court meeting, which had been going on for more than two hours. Emperor Chen just listened to Jiang Huairen's recital of Jizhou's assassin history, and this year's Jizhou suffered another great drought, and the autumn grain grains were not harvested. Emperor Chen ordered Jizhou to pay taxes for one year, and the Ministry of Household allocated funds, and the local government opened warehouses to release grain to help the victims.

In the praise of the ministers, Emperor Chen was preparing to retire from the dynasty, and Cui Yingtai, the priest of the country, came out of the class and said: Your Majesty, the ministers have this music. The prince of the Cui family in Fanyang County is grateful to the emperor Longen, and is willing to establish the academy as the prince of the country, and all the expenses required for the establishment of the academy are borne by the Cui family. ”

As soon as Cui Yingtai's words fell, there was a buzzing discussion in the court.

"Fanyang County Cui's family? I have money, I heard that he did money and silk business, and he branched all over the world in the previous dynasty......"

"Yes, I heard that when the first emperor raised troops, the Cui family helped to buy grain and grass for military horses and provide a large number of supplies......"

"The first emperor also treated him well, and many of the children of the Cui family have the ...... to enter the court as officials"

"Guozi Priest Wine Cui Yingtai is a member of Fanyang Cui's family......"

"It is said that Queen Cui is also from Fanyang Cui's family......"

"Shhhh

Emperor Chen looked around at the ministers, the corners of his mouth curved a little, and his palm was placed on the dragon case, and his two fingers were slightly bent and knocked lightly, noncommittal.

Cui Yingtai bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if the Cui family in Fanyang County establishes a academy, then my Dachen Kingdom will have another Kyoto University Hall." At that time, the Zhixing Academy and the Cui Family College will complement each other, promote the cultural governance and educate the people for my Dachen, which is a great blessing for the governance of the country and the people! ”

When Emperor Chen heard this, his face turned slightly pale, and he said in a deep voice: "I ...... Yes, it's in the southern suburbs...... With the survey of the Ministry of Industry, 400 farmland and 400 official fields were acquired, with a total of 800 acres of land for the purpose of preparing for the establishment of the academy. ”

Without waiting for the following ministers to discuss, Emperor Chen decided the matter resolutely.

For a while, some people in the court were shocked, some frowned and pondered, some were smiling, some were bowing their heads and were silent, and soon, the buzzing discussion sounded again......

Cui Yingtai, the priest of the country, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the old lady of the Cui family in Fanyang County has long admired Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, and is diligent in serving the people, and led one hundred and eight people from the clan to arrive in Beijing the day before yesterday. Now I am outside the palace gate, looking forward to looking up to the sky, convulsing Kong Zhao, and hoping that His Majesty will approve it. ”

At this time, Emperor Chen's face was happy, and he waved his sleeves and said: "It's rare that they have a sincere heart, and they will enter the palace to meet them!"

"Xuan-Fanyang County's Cui family, 1808 people, entered the palace to meet you!"

With the singing of several attendant eunuchs, a large group of senior Confucian elders of the Cui family in Fanyang County supported each other and poured into the Zichen Palace. The old lady Cui was on a dragon's head crutches, wearing a red round-necked cardigan painted with pine cranes for a long time, her hair was white but her spirit was strong, and she grinned with her big mouth and showed her teeth.

He led a large group of pulsatillas to the front of the palace to greet Emperor Chen, and the old lady Cui bowed down and said: "I have heard for a long time that Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, diligent in government and loves the people, and works hard to govern the country. Now I am Da Chen, the sun and the moon are bright, the four seas are leveling, Your Majesty's art, art, martial arts, Fuyuan, Huaxia is full of ...... universe"

This old lady is missing two front teeth, and her mouth is still a little leaky when she opens her mouth. Emperor Chen was a little struggling to hear this, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing that the elders of the Cui family below were all gray beards and old age, they asked the warriors in the standing hall to move a few brocade piers for them to sit down and talk, and the old lady Cui and the others were immediately flattered.

The ministers in the main hall were originally divided into two classes, civil and military, and stood in line according to the rank of the official. These one hundred and eight senior citizens rushed in, coupled with the inconvenience of their legs and feet, and their eyes were poor, slowly swallowing, pushing, pushing and shoving, and the originally spacious Zichen Hall suddenly seemed extremely crowded. The ministers hurriedly made way for these old babies, and as a result, the original neat queue was completely disrupted.

From the fifth-grade Zhongwei doctors to the front of Wang Daolun, the sixth-grade Shangshu of the second-grade master, Tong Huan, who was originally standing at the front, took the opportunity to beat his back waist and slipped to the back near the palace gate to breathe.

Imperial Doctor Qin Lie was squeezed to the back of the line and sneezed while holding the wat board. Last night, the autumn cold dew was heavy and a little cold, and the dust in the hall that was crowded just now made his nose very uncomfortable. He tiptoed to look ahead, only to see a long-winged hat pressed by the black pressure, and could only hear the words of the old lady Cui faintly.

"This Cui family is really not simple...... Hehe, this old guy is also a sycophant! Qin Lie secretly said in his heart: "However, in this way, the Zhixing Academy will not have one more opponent, what does the emperor mean by this?" Where will the national teacher be? ”

Mrs. Cui said a lot of words praising Emperor Chen, although he was speechless, Emperor Chen listened very hard, and he could only endure it. It was easy to talk about the establishment of the academy, and Emperor Chen said: "I have surveyed 800 acres of land for the construction of the academy by the Ministry of Engineering, and as for the name of the academy, I don't know Cui Lao...... Have you ever agreed on it? ”
