"With them, don't think!"

On the throne, Emperor Zhao Mian suddenly got up, and a roar resounded through the hall.

The surrounding guards and palace maids hurriedly knelt down.

"The emperor is angry."

Guo An also bowed his head deeply.

In a trance, he remembered the sword of the emperor, the posture of the three kings of Ping......

I thought of the heroic voice on the ice field that rode a horse and whipped up, vowed to succeed in a battle, and gave the Central Plains a hundred years of stability......

Now that the emperor is old, Long Wei is even worse.

But he heard a tremble...

On the dragon carving throne, Zhao Mian sat down slowly with a pant, looking at the letters, he felt a little depressed, and tore his neckline a little more.

After calming down, he took a deep breath and asked indifferently: "Guo Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Guo An hurriedly bent down and arched his hand, "This matter is false, and the ministers dare not assert it, but they already knew about the changes of the Black Sun and Blood Moon a few months ago, and most of the current visions are true." ”

"If it is true as they say, there will be heavy fog in the sky after the year, which will last for several years, and the water and land passages in the states will be blocked, which will inevitably cause a catastrophe, so it is better to plan early..."

Zhao Mian's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is there a clever way to deal with it?" ”

Guo An was silent for a moment, "This... The minister is a martial artist, his qualifications are reckless, and whatever His Majesty says, the minister will do. ”

"Idiot!"

Although Zhao Mian scolded fiercely, the defense in his eyes was slightly reduced, and he pondered: "The Lianhua Sect has been laid out in the capital for a hundred years, and it must have a very big plan, and that thing underground may be the key to turning things around." ”

"There is also this tunnel, which leads to the inner courtyard of the imperial city, if it is used by thieves, it will be a big trouble."

"Guo An, you take my warrant to block the exits of each tunnel, blow up the excess passages, leave only the key places, guard them heavily, dig secretly, and see what is hidden under this Yujing City!"

Guo An hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is a strange place down there, which is very dangerous..."

"Go for it."

Zhao Mian pinched his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "I'll find a way to do this." ”

"Minister, obey!"

Guo An bowed his hand and retreated.

Leaving the Qionghua Palace, he turned his head to look at the candle flame that had not yet been extinguished, and sighed at the night sky.

For the first time, he felt a little overwhelmed...

…………

After Guo An left, there was silence in the hall for a long time.

After a while, Zhao Mian picked up the letter, and after reading it carefully for a while, he spoke: "Mo Yan, this is a big matter, who do you think can be trusted in this court?" ”

A trace of cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the handsome young man next to him, and he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the slave does not dare to speak falsely." ”

"Humph!"

Zhao Mian shook his head, "The princes are all staring at the throne, all of them are ambitious and talented, and they wish I would die early..."

"Behind the ministers of the DPRK and China, there are prominent clans and squires from various states, and when they learn about this, I am afraid that they will immediately have ambitions..."

"And the vassal kings of various places..."

"Don't talk about you, I don't know who I can trust!"

The young chamberlain Mo Yan lowered his head, trembling all over, and his face was pale.

It was the first time he had seen Zhao Mian look like this.

He knew the temper of this emperor, and he was never willing to expose his weakness, even in front of Li Guiren.

Having heard these words,

Will it be a life......

Just when he was frightened, Zhao Mian suddenly spoke: "Go, invite Liu and Pei into the palace to discuss." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

In less than an hour, the two prime ministers Liu Ji and Pei Yuansheng arrived at the Qionghua Palace.

Liu Ji is an old minister of the Zhu Kingdom, and Pei Yuansheng is a scholar of the Zhongshu, and the two can be said to be the first of the hundred officials.

"Your Majesty summoned you late at night, I don't know..."

"Don't worry, Mo Yan, go get some wine and food, speaking of which, maybe I haven't talked with the two Aiqing for a long time......"

…………

The sky was slightly bright, and Pei Yuansheng returned from the palace.

The front door of his mansion was crowded with visitors all year round, and horse-drawn carriages full of gifts occupied almost the entire street.

Especially when the Autumn Stove Festival is approaching, some people start queuing in the middle of the night.

Pei Yuansheng's sedan chair entered through the side door.

Walking out of the sedan chair, he looked at the morning light in the distance, and did not move for a long time, only feeling a little trance in his mind.

For no other reason, what I heard last night was too bizarre.

"Oh, didn't you enter the palace, why did you smell of alcohol, come here, change the old man's clothes..."

Mrs. Li had been waiting for a long time, complaining and arranging, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty summoned you late at night, but what happened?" ”

Only then did Pei Yuansheng come back to his senses, and said with a cold face: "How many times have I said it, don't inquire about the affairs of the court!" ”

After that, he said thoughtfully: "You told me some time ago that in Cangzhou's hometown, there are strangers coming to the door?" ”

Li frowned and said, "Didn't the master send someone to reprimand him, so that the clansmen should not have anything to do with those people." ”

Pei Yuanxian was silent for a moment, "Ask Pei Zhong to come to my study." ”

With that, he strode to the study.

Half an hour later, a man dressed up in disguise, left through the secret passage, left the Yujing City, and went straight to Cangzhou......

At the same time, there are also people in the palace who are secretive, and a secret letter is transmitted to the courtyard of the deep mansion in the city and the prince's mansion through various channels...

………………

Knock knock!

In the small courtyard of Anzhenfang, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Biao hid the copied booklet, and then left the small courtyard and opened the wooden door.

"I've seen Brother Zhang."

The person who came was Yu Ziqing, he was dressed in a green robe, obviously in high spirits, and said: "Didn't Brother Zhang ask me to find a reliable craftsman, this Yang Xiao is my senior brother, and he is a famous man in Nancheng." ”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man beside him smiled and said, "Brother Zhang's name has been heard of for a long time." ”

"Come in, both of you."

Zhang Biao smiled slightly and invited the two into the hospital.

As he walked, he said: "It is not advisable to drink tea on an empty stomach in the morning, wait for me to clean up, and let's go to Guangfu Building for breakfast." ”

"There's no hurry."

Yang Xiao respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Brother Zhang was also a famous master of the Six Doors, and our identity is not a secret, some words should be made clear in advance, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”

Zhang Biao said with a smile: "Heaven and Earth Gate, of course I know, I can't hide it, my work, ordinary craftsmen can't do it." ”

Yang Xiao instantly understood, "Brother Zhang wants to build a secret room?" It's easy to find craftsmen from other places, but the cost of this sealing is not cheap..."

Yujing City stipulates that no secret rooms are allowed to be dug privately.

But the rules are dead, people are alive, the wealthy families in Beijing build secret rooms privately, and there are not many people who dig tunnels.

Those dignitaries and dignitaries naturally have groups of family members, and there are also many gangs in the rivers and lakes.

As for the small households with a thin population, they can only choose to hire craftsmen.

But this job, ordinary craftsmen dare not take it, and even the cowardly dare to go to Jingzhao Mansion to denounce it.

Only the craftsmen from other places who are in the rivers and lakes dare to repair anything, and they will stay away from the capital anyway if they take the money.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao suddenly relaxed his vigilance and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, this matter is on me." ”

He thought that Zhang Biao was going to do some illegal business after leaving the six doors.

This kind of thing is done, and most of it is not the work of the imperial court.

Zhang Biao smiled slightly, and did not break it.

That underground secret room, he had already seen, and the passage to the outside world had all collapsed, but the area was really not small, and one person really couldn't do it.

As for the issue of confidentiality, there is a Ecstasy Mirror to help.

Let down their guard against each other, and the three of them went to Guangfu Building in the nearby Fang City to have breakfast and chat about some anecdotes.

Zhang Biao is superb, Yu Ziqing and Yang Hu are intent on stammering, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more harmonious.

Boom!

At that moment, there was a muffled sound.

Yu Ziqing was so frightened that he suddenly stood up, "The earth dragon turned over?" ”

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, thoughtful.

This tremor came from underground, and the tunnel of Yujing City had been discovered, and it should be that the imperial court was blowing up the tunnel.

After all, there is an exit from this tunnel that leads directly to the imperial city.

Looking at yesterday's situation, the skeleton camp has also been discovered, and I don't know how the imperial court will respond.

After eating breakfast and saying goodbye to the two, Zhang Biao hurried to Fengyi Fang.

Along the way, there were people talking about it in various markets, and when they felt the underground shaking, they couldn't help but talk about it.

Zhang Biao is more sure of the judgment.

At the same time, there is also some worry in my heart, although the secret room and the outside passage have collapsed, if these guys are bent on destroying the exit, it will be troublesome.

When he came to the abandoned Taoist temple, he followed the dry well into the ground, and a seven-meter-high empty cave suddenly appeared in front of him, full of rotten wooden carts and clay pots.

When Zhang Biao saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he also figured out why.

This jade capital city is an authentic city, and many exits lead to temples and Taoist temples, people's wells and palaces.

If they are to be destroyed one by one, not only will there be a lot of movement, but they will also cause a lot of riots.

It is more convenient to blow up the passage directly.

Out of the secret cave, Zhang Biao prepared to go home and continue to sort out the classics, however, the discussion of the people of Fengyifang attracted his attention.

"Have you heard, the list has been issued outside the imperial city and in the West Market, and the emperor wants to summon strange people to enter the court......"
