Luoyang, Xuanfengfang, the sky is gloomy.

The streets were already full of horse-drawn carriages with white cloth on their frames, slowly moving forward.

Under the Fang Gate, Li Xuan looked at the gate of the Yan Mansion covered with white flags in the distance, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Retracting his gaze and lowering the curtain, Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze, who was sitting opposite, and said with some puzzlement: "Strange, why is it that now, the prince's funeral has not yet ended, Yan Zhuang Yan was in such a hurry to go to the southeast at that time?"

"It's not too early, after all, he has to be familiar with the situation when he goes to the southeast, although the imperial court has eyeliner in the southeast, but the status is probably not high, it is difficult to help him, he can only rely on himself, so the sooner he leaves, the better it will be for him."

Yu Ze reluctantly gave a reason, but even he couldn't convince himself.

He himself knew that this reason was not realistic, after all, Yan Zhuang's identity was the prince's family order, and he was the prince's most important confidant, no matter how he considered the future, he should not fake his death and leave Luoyang before the prince's mourning period was over.

After Li Xuan returned from the Shangqing Palace yesterday, he received the news that the prince's family ordered Yan Zhuang to pass away.

However, he is not a relative or friend of the Yan family, so it is not good to come to the door on the same day, as long as he comes to worship today.

Yan Zhuang has obtained the skill of a thousand-faced Buddha with a thousand faces, and under the overall situation that the emperor is about to clean up the hidden dangers in the southeast, it is also appropriate to rush to the southeast as soon as possible.

If there is still someone urging behind him, then he can't stop.

"The day after tomorrow is the period of the crown prince's fifth and seventh days, and thirty-six days later, it is the time when all officials are mourned, and he may fall into injustice if he does this." Li Xuan whispered the dark calculations in this, but then, he shook his head and said, "With his family background, the pressure of the past two days can still be overcome, so anxious, is there something unexpected that happened." Li Xuan groaned and said his judgment.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable.

Yan Zhuang didn't know that this would leave a bad impression on the emperor's heart, but he still did it, which may not be under his control.

"So it is." Yu Ze nodded, but what exactly happened in this was difficult for them to know for a while.

Yan Zhuang, as the prince's family order, died suddenly before the arrival of the prince's fifth and seventh period, which will inevitably cause some people's hearts to be unsettled.

The carriage moved slowly, and after a while, it finally reached the front of the mansion.

Li Xuan and Yu Ze got out of the carriage one step ahead.

Standing at the door to greet the guest was a young man wearing a white linen filial piety robe, followed by the butler of the Yan Mansion.

"Lord Wang, this is the only son of Liu Weng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Yicong, who joined the army." Yu Ze whispered in Li Xuan's ear to introduce the person who welcomed the guests.

Yan Zhuang's wife is the daughter of Liu Dewei, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, and the sister of Liu Xianli, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Although the Yan family is not sparsely populated, the family members are scattered in all directions, and it is difficult to gather in Luoyang for a while, and relatives from all walks of life have come to help.

Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is now in Luoyang, and since yesterday he has brought his son to help deal with the funeral, and he also presided over the funeral.

"King of Nanchang, please!" Liu Yicong very respectfully invited Li Xuan into the Yan Mansion, and then greeted the next guest.

Walking in the courtyard, Li Xuan walked slowly, and there were few people around, so he whispered to Yu Ze: "Uncle Yu, do you say that this is worth it, once this is lost, he will really die, and he will never be able to live again."

Fake death and escape, just like an undercover undercover agent, Yan Zhuang definitely didn't tell everyone in the family.

Maybe only one or two people know the truth, maybe even less.

Over time, most family members and friends have come to terms with this fact.

If you can't make a special contribution and return, then the resurrection of the dead will basically not happen.

"It's just a matter of breaking the kettle, how much risk you take now, how much credit you will make in the future, the prince is still young, not as humble as his position, this kind of thing is not seen once or twice, and the family is not completely smooth." Yu Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "King Nanchang, wait a minute."

For a time, in the courtyard

Everyone turned around, Li Xuan frowned, turned around, stretched his face, and arched his hand: "Li Shuling, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm fine."

"Fortunately, it's generally restored." As he spoke, Li Yan bowed to Li Xuan and said, "Speaking of which, I am also thanking the prince, if it wasn't for the prince's help that night, I am afraid that he would have died in the tiger's mouth and even affected his family."

"Li is polite, this king is also at the right time, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me." Li Xuan returned the salute to Li Yan.

[Li Yan, the prince rate is more orderly, born in the Li family of Zhao County, his father Li Mengwei, the former general of the right Weiwei, the right Dianrong guard rate of the prince of the Feng Imperial Inspection School. 】

Yan Zhuang had more or less hinted at Li Xuan before, Li Yan and the Queen of Heaven were very close, but he did not join the secret guard after all.

"It's okay, it's a good thing!" Li Yan seemed to get rid of the involvement with the secret guard, smiled very calmly, and bowed his hand to Li Xuan again: "I still have to thank the prince, if you are rude, you will go in first."

"Li Order, please!" Li Xuan slightly moved out of the way and let Li Yan go first.

After all, Li Yan and Yan Zhuang are still colleagues under the prince's sect.

"Lord Wang." Yu Ze walked up and looked at Li Yan's back, his eyes full of contemplation.

"In this matter, he has to intervene relatively less, after all, he is his son who was arrested, and although he was taken away from the uterus after that, the time was too short, and he was rescued quickly, so even if he has a calculation, it is easy to withdraw, unlike this one in this family, who is too deeply involved." Li Xuan looked at the mourning hall in the distance and whispered, "Let's go too."

Li Xuan walked in the direction of the mourning hall, and standing in front of the mourning hall at the moment was a fifty-year-old man with a thin figure and a short beard lightly draped in sackcloth.

"Boy Li Xuan has seen Liu Weng, please mourn." Li Xuan solemnly bowed to Liu Xianli.

"King of Nanchang, please get up." Although Liu Xianli's face was a little sad, it was not heavy, although Yan Zhuang was his brother-in-law, he may not be clear about the secrets of this matter, so although there was some sadness about Yan Zhuang's adventure, there was not much sadness.

Liu Xianli looked Li Xuan up and down, nodded and responded: "I met Yang Jihou the day before yesterday, he was quite impressed by the talent of the king of Nanchang in the organ, if the official remembers it well, Huang Rensu, the commander of the capital water supervisor, also praised the transformation of the prince on the waterwheel, and he also said that he wanted to transfer the prince to the capital water supervisor, but it is a pity that ......

Huang Rensu, who is about to be transferred to Dali Temple Shaoqing, in the early years, because of hydraulic engineering, he had an intersection with Li Xuan.

Although Datang has three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, there is a close connection between the six departments and the nine temples and five prisons.

The Ministry of Rites, the Department of Rites and the Department of Ancestral Halls, the jurisdiction of the Department coincides with Taichang Temple, and the Department of Food, the Department of Host and Guest Division coincide with Guanglu Temple and Honglu Temple respectively.

The military department, its driving department and the Taifu Temple's scope of office intersect, and the Treasury Department has similarities with the scope of the Weiwei Temple.

The Criminal Department, its Criminal Department Division is close to the function of Dali Temple.

The Golden Department and the Kurabe Division of the Household Department are in charge of the affairs of the Qiangu cashier, and there is overlap with the functions of Taifu Temple and Sinong Temple.

Although Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the emperor's clan affairs, strictly speaking, it overlaps with the functions of the ministry.

There is an overlap between the affairs of the Guozijian and the Ministry of Rites, and the scope of functions of the Shaofu Supervisor, the General Supervisor, the Ordnance Supervisor, and the Dushui Supervisor overlaps with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to a certain extent.

There was a lot of overlap between the powers of the Six Ministries and the Nine Temples and the Five Eunuchs, which was necessary, and it was through this means that the emperor balanced the forces of all parties and controlled the court.

Although Huang Rensu's capital water supervisor is in charge of the world's hydraulic engineering, he also has the responsibility of surveying the geography and hydrology of the world.

Here, too, include the Western Regions and Tibet.

"That's Huang Weng's praise, the kid just changed the waterwheel to a bigger one and arranged it more, after all, whether it is Pengzhou or Jiangnan, the floods are relatively heavy." Li Xuan explained very sincerely the reason why the two intersected back then.

"It's okay, even if the officials have the heart at this time, Your Majesty will not agree." Liu Xianli waved his hand very indifferently, Li Xuan is always the king of the clan, and the relationship between him and the emperor is second only to the princes, like Li Xiaoyi, the prince of Liangguo, and Li Jingjia, the king of Beiping County, can stay in the center, but Li Xuan cannot.

Not to mention that the government and the opposition officials will not agree, even the emperor himself will not agree.

After a pause, Liu Xianli's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Regarding Du Chun's matter, there are still some people who worked with him when he was a prisoner, and you might as well bring it with you when Nanchang goes to Wuzhou, the anti-sect altar is located in the deep mountains, the organs are ingenious, and the Ministry of Industry will also send people to assist, so the king of Nanchang should not refuse."

Li Xuan looked at the mourning hall in front of him, and Liu Xianli, who was still blocking his way, finally understood his intentions, and could only bow his hand in a deep voice: "Thank you Liu Weng!"
