164 Two decrees, one seed
The next morning, at six o'clock in the morning.
A slight warm breeze blew, and a faint wind swirled into every corner of the imperial capital, sweeping into every wisp of dust.
Yesterday was the last day of July, and last night was also a very ordinary night, as if nothing had happened, and it was so quiet that it came to the new January.
The imperial capital is still the same as before, the climate is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and hot people are like lying in a steamer boiling on a fire, and their hearts are full of endless irritability.
The Imperial Capital Hospital is also the same as before, and the freezer in the underground morgue constantly exudes a cold smell, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Of course.
Equally uncomfortable was a house in the royal exclusion zone, dark brown blood soaking into the concrete-poured roof, one after the other, like a brilliant lotus flower.
Luckily, it was the roof, so no one could see it, so there was no need to bother cleaning up the blood.
But it was precisely because this was the roof, so by the time Wucheng Wu Heavenly King was discovered, the only half of his breath left was already seven or eight out of ten, and only the last two points were left there to hold on and not to lose his breath.
He has very important information that must be reported to the top of the royal family, which is very likely to affect the pattern of Great Qin in the next few decades, and may not need the future at all, that is, the present.
"Your Majesty, King Cheng Tianwang is not out of danger for the time being, but he forcibly woke up for a minute halfway and told the story of last night's attack."
In the splendid hall, the bricks and tiles are piled up like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
There was a white-haired old man with a wrinkled face and a stiff body with his head bowed, and he respectfully handed over the note in his hand.
Emperor Qin, who was sitting opposite him, was enjoying the morning feast, so he didn't reach out to pick it up, and still used his chopsticks to hold the crisp white radish shreds in front of him.
It wasn't until there were only three or two sparse sticks left in the end of a full plate that Emperor Qin slowly picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, raised his hand to take the note and looked at it with heavy eyes.
The old man on the side didn't waste time, and took advantage of this time to glance at the maids around him, and waved his hand slightly.
The maids immediately knew what they meant, and hurriedly stepped forward quietly with small steps, and removed all the plates, dishes and chopsticks.
Everything in this hall seems to be stuck in the feudal dynasty of a thousand years ago, except for the different dresses of the people, the rest of the habits, etiquette and even official positions are exactly the same.
This old man who controls a certain amount of power is the chief administrator of the imperial family of the Great Qin Empire, and it can also be said that he is the personal eunuch of the Qin Emperor, and he is the confidant of his henchmen.
Of course, now he is not called the head of Ouchi, and the old man is not a eunuch.
After the last maid left the hall with a plate, Emperor Qin also happened to read the clues given by Wu Cheng in his hand.
He casually put it aside, his light brows furrowed slightly, and said softly:
"Yan Nannan Clan? It's really interesting, what do you think? ”
The old man knew that Emperor Qin was asking him, so he immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, our family thinks that the Yan Nannan clan does have this possibility, but if it is said that the Duke of Fang Guo wants to take it personally...... It's a bit of a desire to cover up. ”
"Then you mean, the other four families framed it?"
Qin Huang asked with a smile, his face was as pale as ever, as if he was dead, and he didn't know if he was too weak or if he ate too much shredded white radish every day.
For this extremely sensitive issue, the old man did not dare to speak casually.
He thought about it for a while, and then said with a sad face: "We didn't see it last night, and I don't dare to guess in my heart, so it's better to hand it over to the people below to check." ”
Emperor Qin knew that he was talking nonsense, but he didn't get angry because of it, nor did he scold him, he just shook his head and said slowly:
"Check, it can't be checked, although the other party stole three large coffins, but it can also forcibly insert a reason for the theft of royal treasures.
But since he can hide from so many pairs of eyes in the dark, and he can quietly injure the Heavenly King, and by the way, he swaggers out with thousands of pounds of heavy objects, so it is impossible to know by ordinary means. ”
When the words landed, Emperor Qin's brows furrowed even tighter, and then he spoke: "With the power of the Yan Southern Clan, if you really want to do this, you can really do it." ”
He seemed to have decided that this was Fang Xiang's hand, but the old man in front of him had followed Emperor Qin for many years, and he could smell a trace of the emperor's heart slightly.
The more Emperor Qin said this, the more he felt in his heart that it couldn't be the Yannan clan.
Motivation alone doesn't make sense.
So, which one will it be?
The old man did not dare to speak indiscriminately, so his head lowered more and more, and his mouth seemed to have been sewn with a needle and thread.
There was an eerie silence in the main hall, and Emperor Qin's eyes were constantly changing and complex, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
This lasted for about fifteen minutes, and a beautiful maid entered the hall and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, it's time for a loose coat."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly broken.
Emperor Qin stood up with a smile, stretched out his arms, and let the maid who let the fish enter untie his straps and change into another Nine Dragons black robe for him.
"After the court proceedings of the waiting meeting are over, you can go to the Yannan clan casually, you go in person, try the depth of Fang Guogong, and then go to the Far East Lin clan and Changping Liu clan, and invite Lin Guogong to the palace for a banquet tonight."
Well?!
The old man's lowered face turned grim, and he quickly analyzed the meaning of Emperor Qin's words in his heart.
To test the depth of Fang Guo's thinking, then the content of this will must be derogatory, and inviting Lin Guogong to the palace for a banquet is a compliment.
A depreciation and a compliment can easily make the already weak alliance of the three families appear a bigger gap.
And Emperor Qin Shicai emphasized that the second decree should be sent down to the Far East Lin clan and the Changping Liu clan, which was obviously to be invited in front of Liu Guogong.
None of the three families were left behind, and they were all taken on this thief ship.
Presumably, tonight will be a sleepless night for these three families.
"Your Majesty was still suspicious after all, and decided to take the first step to counteract, turning the original passive into active, from a chess piece to a chess player, this imperial trick is really beautiful."
The old man secretly guessed in his heart, but he only dared to sigh in his heart, and only replied in a low voice, leaning over and saying yes.
Then, Emperor Qin, who had already changed into a black robe of Nine Dragons, flicked his sleeves lightly and strode towards the main hall.
About ten minutes later, he entered the temple from the right, and as far as he could see, there was a huge long table.
Everyone who participated in this meeting was already in their respective positions, and when they saw Empress Qin, they all got up and bowed.
Today is the first day of August, and according to the past practice, a court meeting is held at the beginning of each month to discuss some big and small matters.
Although the number of court meetings held last month was at least five fingers, the rules are rules and cannot be changed easily.
It's just that the interval is so short, theoretically there is nothing to negotiate, this trip is just to go through the motions and play a card.
However, Emperor Qin had just sat down when Chu Xiong, the current head of the Chu clan in Zhenbei, said in a deep voice:
"The former director of the Logistics Bureau passed away in the line of duty, and this position involves a lot, and the matter is too big to vacate for a day, and His Majesty needs to elect a new candidate as soon as possible."
"Chu Guogong's words are reasonable."
Emperor Qin raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, nodded with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Li Mou on his left.
"I don't know if Li Guogong can be elected?"
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in the depths of Li Mou's eyes, but he concealed it very well, and immediately responded with a smile after a flash:
"Coincidentally, back to Your Majesty, Ben Justice wants to recommend someone."
"Oh? I don't know who made Li Guogong remember it like this? ”
"It is the Hou Qin Mo of Guannei who just swept away the traitors for my Great Qin Empire a few days ago, quelled the civil strife, and made great contributions." Li Mou replied.
After he finished speaking, his eyes swept around the long table slightly, and then he continued to himself:
"The day before yesterday, the Marquis of Guan Nei suppressed the three heavenly kings with one hand, breaking the riot in the prison of Great Qin, and he is only twenty-three years old now, with a sincere heart in his heart, and he is loyal to Great Qin......"
Li Mou began to constantly put gold on Qin Mo's face, and he almost said that he was the number one hero since the founding of Great Qin.
The high-ranking officials under the long table of such rhetoric also have some understanding, and they are just trying to add some competitive bargaining chips, which has often happened in the past, such as the deputy director of the aircraft administration department not long ago.
It's just that in the eyes of the three families of Yannannan, there is a difference.
They are in high positions, they have a broader horizon, they see more, and the more they think.
Just Li Mou said this, naturally there was no problem, but the question and answer between him and Emperor Qin, coupled with the close relationship between the two sides before, and the faint posture of alliance, it seemed like a discussion in advance.
It seems that it is to promote Qin Mo to the position of director of the logistics bureau in the court discussion this time.
This is not a good thing for the three Yan Nannan clans.
Therefore, without waiting for Li Mou to speak, Fang Xiang, who was sitting opposite him, impatiently raised his finger and lightly tapped the table a few times, forcibly inserting some discordant sounds.
Everyone's eyes gathered, and Fang Xiang looked indifferent, and said slowly:
"My father thinks that Qin Mo's son must not be able to serve as the logistics bureau."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere of the hall quietly changed.
Everyone couldn't help but look awe-inspired, they could already clearly predict that today's court deliberations would definitely flash countless swords and swords.
Fang Xiangzi habitually ignored these gazes, and still stated his full reasons by himself, during which the two heads of the Far Eastern Lin family and the Changping Liu family helped from time to time.
This has happened many times in the past ten years.
Everything seems to be the same as ever.
But no one on the long table found it, and Emperor Qin looked at Fang Xiang's faint gaze in the depths, hiding some different meanings.
It seems to be scrutinizing, and it seems to be speculation.
Obviously, he did it on purpose, in order to take a look at Fang Xiang's attitude.
Let's see what Fang Xiang wants to do.
Why was Yan Nannan able to know the hiding place of the corpse, and why did he steal the coffin.
……
……
The court council lasted for more than two hours, and the five great families argued endlessly at the long table, and the situation gradually escalated, faintly with the intention of fighting.
But at the moment when the gunpowder wire was about to ignite and had not been ignited, Qin Huang interjected just right.
He smiled and left a sentence: "Guan Neihou is young and promising, he is a young hero, but he can be of great use, and the director of the logistics bureau is not a condescending talent." ”
Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone and the gloomy eyes of the three of them, they got up and left.
In this court game, it was obvious that the Qingyang Li clan had won.
Of course, after this incident, Li Mou must give some of the inherent benefits of the Li family to the royal family, which is the tacit understanding that should be on the long table just now.
But Qin Mo didn't know this.
He had already left the imperial capital and came to a mountain field a hundred miles away.
In the empty and uninhabited mountain, there is a shallow pit with a round shape, and three open coffins are neatly placed in the pit, and the coffin is steaming cold, which looks so strange under the huge sun.
Qin Mo stood aside in the air, condescendingly scanning the three strange corpses in the coffin.
The fine Xiaoice crystals hanging on the corpse are extremely cold air converted by his super lungs, which is to maintain the freshness of the corpse so as not to decay quickly in the high temperature.
After he moved the three coffins out of the royal forbidden area last night, he went straight to this place, dug a pit and filled in some earth, and then returned to his house to sleep peacefully.
It wasn't until he got up the next morning and had breakfast with Li Tiangang that he began to investigate carefully.
He obviously didn't want the Qingyang Li family to get involved in this matter, otherwise it would be easiest for the coffin to directly ask Li Mou to arrange a place.
It's not that he doesn't trust Lee, it's just that he doesn't want to show off until he verifies his conjecture.
After all, the spiritual awakened are too mysterious, too weird, and the terrifying parasitic means are simply pervasive, and you may be able to plant some seeds in your brain at any point.
Looking back now, the reason why there were so many inner ghosts in the Li clan at the beginning was that if it hadn't been for the powerful spiritual awakened person who secretly did it, Qin Mo would never have believed it.
But this is already a matter of the past, and there is no need to say more at this time.
Qin Mo's pupils moved slightly, and he quietly opened the perspective, casting his gaze on the three strange dead corpses under his feet.
As he absorbed the sun's energy, his eyes penetrated the surface of his skin, seeing deep blood vessels, as well as shattered internal organs, organs, bones, and so on.
After a general glance like this, Qin Mo didn't find anything abnormal, and then he increased his perspective again, silently urging the microscopic line of sight, and began to observe the deeper cells.
This time, Qin Mo scanned the brains of the three people.
At the same time, he has already launched mental perception, narrowed the scope of perception, strengthened the accuracy of perception, and checked the brains of the three people inch by inch, just like an antivirus software.
After scanning like this for more than five minutes, Qin Mo's expression suddenly turned grim, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes.
I saw that in the depths of his pupils, a small green seed was reflected.
The seed was so thin, so small, like a speck of dust, that it lay quietly in the deepest part of the brain, without any movement.
Including Xia Zu!
