Shi Gao sighed, thinking that this young man was a lover. He suddenly thought of another thing and asked Zhang Zhang: "Do you remember the way to Yongyang Palace?" ”

"Yes. I can find it even if I'm blind. Zhang Zhang gritted his teeth and said. He suddenly slapped his head: "I almost forgot." Didn't they talk about sending someone to find that medical officer named Chun Yuji last time? ”

Shi Gao nodded, thinking, I was about to ask you about this.

Zhang Zhang said: "At the moment, they have sent a killer to kill this Chun Yuji." ”

Shi Gao was taken aback, this was an important piece of information, and the emperor must be informed quickly. So he said in a panic: "I'm going to say goodbye for my brother, I'll know money in the past, you eat slowly, remember to come to me if you have something." ”

Zhang Zhang opened his mouth, Shi Gao had already gotten up and left, so he muttered: "I haven't finished speaking, why did I leave." ”

After Shi Gao said goodbye to Zhang Zhang, he immediately rushed to Weiyang Palace, and Xu Sang introduced him into the Xuanshu Palace.

Liu Xun sat facing south, looking through a volume of newspapers, Prime Minister Wei Xiang and Imperial Historian Bingji sat on both sides, and when they saw him come in to give a salute, they also returned the salute.

Liu Xun's expression was calm: "What's the matter?" "Continue to look at the movement.

Shi Gao glanced at Wei Xiang and Bingji out of the corner of his eyes, hesitated slightly, and then thought about it, these two people knew about the disagreement between the emperor and the Huo family, and they had discussed together how to suppress the Huo family's forces before, so they didn't have to avoid it, so they said: "The matter of the Huo family." ”

Liu Xun didn't raise his head and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Wei Xiang and Bingji glanced at each other, both looked solemn, and sat down to listen.

Shi Gao said: "The Huo family raised the dead, secretly hid weapons, plotted misdeeds, and the evidence was conclusive. Moreover, it is necessary to murder Chun Yuji. Then he recounted what Zhang Zhang said in detail.

Liu Xun thought for a moment and asked with some confusion: "There is a Yongyang Palace in the depths of Qishan. ”

Wei Xiang was originally a magistrate, although he was the prime minister, but he didn't know the history of the previous dynasty, he didn't know the little princess of Lanyi before, and he didn't know anything about the surrounding scenery of Chang'an. His expression was dazed, and his gaze shifted to Bingji.

Bingji thought for a moment and said: "There is indeed a palace at the southern foot of Qishan, called Yongyang Palace, which is the Han Dynasty of Qin Palace, and is the resting place of Emperor Xiaowu in Qishan. However, Emperor Wu was abandoned after that, so there is no court register. ”

Liu Xun was relieved and smiled: "They will find a place." ”

Shi Gao said: "The last time we hunted, we went in that direction. He seemed to think of something, and shouted "Ah": "They were going to Yongyang Palace that day." ”

Liu Xun thought thoughtfully, and let out an "oh".

Wei Xiang and Bingji didn't know what they were talking about, and looked at each other.

Liu Xun glanced left and right and said, "What do the prime minister and Binggong think?" ”

Wei Xiang glanced at Bingji, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The Huo family is bold and reckless, the crime is not, the crime is unforgivable. He always hoped that the emperor would tolerate Huofu. In his mind, Huo Guang is the hero who maintains the stability of the Han Dynasty, and if it can be traced back to the champion Hou Huo's illness, he is the pillar of the Han family. He didn't dare to imagine that the Huo clan would be wiped out due to rebellion. However, he also understands Liu Xun's temperament, who has been dormant in the shadow of the general for several years, and now the pro-government intends to display his ambitions, and he cannot tolerate any more threats to the monarchy. He felt a sense of powerlessness and muttered, "Maybe they're just afraid." ”

Liu Xun was immersed in his own thoughts, and did not pay attention to what he said later. Bingji heard it and looked at him deeply.

Bingji has a generous temperament. Back then, he said that Huo Guang had established Liu Yi as the emperor, so in his heart, he didn't want to see the Huo family die out in this way. However, in the face of the emperor's blazing gaze, a fatalistic helplessness came to his heart. He sighed and said something that seemed to be a pun: "Prevention is better than prevention." ”

Liu Xun was originally uncertain about how to deal with the Huo family, and he also intended to defend the heroes. However, Huo Shi didn't know how to restrain himself, but instead intensified his efforts, and actually rebelled, and he was really angry in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, suppressed his anger, and said, "Prime Minister, Binggong, you can step down." When the two of them went out, he beckoned Shi Gao to come closer.

Shi Gao stepped forward, thinking that the emperor would punish Huo for treason, so he stretched his neck and waited for the emperor's orders.

Liu Xun glanced at him and said, "Do you know where Chun Yu is now?" ”

Shi Gao was stunned, thinking to himself that if he didn't talk about the Huo family, how could he ask about Chun Yuji.

Liu Xun was still angry just now, however, he inadvertently saw Bingji glance back when he left, his eyes were full of affection, anxiety, and expectation. He was suddenly shocked, gradually calmed down, and had an idea in his heart.

Shi Gao's mind didn't turn around for a while, and said, "Chun Yuji should be on the way to Chang'an,"

"Really?" Liu Xun smiled slightly, with mockery in his tone.

Shi Gao panicked and hurriedly lay on the ground and said, "The minister should die." ”

Liu Xun didn't blame, and said, "Get up." ”

Shi Gao got up and knelt down, not knowing what to say, just worried with a bitter face.

Liu Xun's expression was solemn, and he said: "The Huo clan wants to attack Chun Yu a few times, you take some people to find him, and be sure to protect him thoroughly." ”

Shi Gao nodded and promised: "Chun Yu must have evidence of the Huo family's murder of Empress Xu in his hands." So they get rid of it quickly. ”

Liu Xun glanced at him and said softly. Shi Gao couldn't help but shudder, thinking that he had said the wrong thing again.

Liu asked: "Whether there is evidence or not, it can't change the fact that the Huo family plotted to kill Queen Xu." What I want is to be brought to justice as soon as possible, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Shi Gao suddenly realized that the emperor wanted him to protect Chun Yuji, and what he valued was the edifying significance of Shuofang's ten prisoners returning to the case as scheduled. The Han Dynasty needed this kind of classic example of promoting righteousness too much. He then replied loudly: "Your lord's order." ”

Liu Xun thought for a moment and said, "You can use the Tiger Talisman to dispatch the Tiger Forbidden Army." ”

Shi Gao was secretly surprised, and mobilizing the tiger to protect a prisoner was probably an unprecedented move.

Liu Xun didn't pay attention to Shi Gao's reaction, and said with emotion: "Faith and righteousness are in the hands of a gentleman." The 10 prisoners are all felony suspects and may face the death penalty if they are brought to justice. If they return, isn't it the work of a gentleman? The Gentleman's Teaching, Yu Ye. ”

Shi Gao didn't understand much, and flattered: "The minister remembers His Majesty's teachings. ”

Liu Xun's mood was much more relaxed. He straightened his hands together, stretched his waist, and then took a sip of the bowl of water on the table.

"So, what about those dead soldiers in Yongyang Palace." Scoop asked cautiously.

"You led the tiger ben and looked for an opportunity to encircle and suppress Yongyang Palace in the name of exterminating the Liukou. Let the dead die. Liu Xun's face was grim and said slowly.

"Okay." Shi Gao clenched his fists excitedly, raised them to his chest and shook vigorously, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "The minister's order." ”

Liu Xun waved his right hand casually, and Shaoqing's brows furrowed: "However, I haven't figured out how to deal with the Huo family yet." Therefore, the encirclement and suppression of Yongyang Palace should not be too big, and it should not involve Huo Mansion. ”

Wei Xiang and Bingji walked out of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, with mixed feelings.

It was already dusk, and Bingji stood on the high steps, staring at the blood-red remnant sun on the horizon, stunned.

Wei Xiang walked over and followed Bingji's line of sight to look at the sky. The autumn evening wind brought a chill, and he put his hands in his sleeves and said quietly: "There is nothing we can do about this." If a person cannot control himself, he must be controlled by others. ”

The two supported each other and slowly walked down the steps.

Behind them was the grand Weiyang Palace, and in front of them was a long staircase that seemed to have no end. From a distance, in the long parallel lines, two black dots were slowly moving, and gradually, these two small figures dissolved into the flame-like evaporating afterglow of the sunset.
