Although it has entered winter, Huaqing Palace is still as warm as spring.

At noon that day, Imperial Physician Cao took a bowl of turtle soup and put it on the table next to the Jiulong soup bath, and then quietly stepped aside.

Since he was stationed in Huaqing Palace, after a multi-pronged "comprehensive treatment", Ji Ge's condition has been alleviated a lot, and his mood has improved.

"Can I drink this?"

Brother Ji looked at Imperial Doctor Cao and asked softly, not angry and arrogant, so that the imperial doctor who was solely responsible for treating the disease did not dare to look up at him.

"Back to the saint, Wei Chen is already doing the matter of finding someone to test the medicine before. The medicines made from various turtles and poria cocos found from all over the world were also used by different patients.

This recipe, so far, works best. ”

Of course, it was supposed to be the Son of Heaven who should also participate, but the current situation of Brother Ji ...... It can only be said that if he doesn't mention it, he can't count on it.

"Stand down."

I have to say that Chen Xilie really knows how to do things!

Don't ask, if you ask, the official is too young to call the shots!

Zheng Shuqing gave a concession to Ji Ge on the grounds that "the matter is very important and has no right to dispose of it" and asked Ji Ge to interrogate him in person.

Nowadays, Brother Ji basically doesn't care about government affairs, and Li Linfu decides all matters big and small in the DPRK and China. When Brother Ji didn't speak, Li Linfu was the de facto manager of this huge empire.

Li Linfu's body softened, fell to the ground, and stopped breathing.

After relieving himself, Brother Ji did not forget to instruct Gao Lishi beside him: "The matter of finding medicine is urgent, and you must find it at any cost." ”

"Eh, it's not bad at all, and I never force the little girl to do things she doesn't like."

Li Linfu couldn't help but glance at Chen Xilie, secretly vigilant in his heart.

He saw that this orchid was young and beautiful, good at singing and dancing, pure and lovely, and had not been touched by a man, so he wanted to dedicate it to Li Linfu, so that the other party would promote him in the future.

"Chen Shangshu is bothered."

Imperial Physician Cao said cautiously, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and be cut off by the emperor Brother Ji.

……

"Chen Xilie, the reason why I promoted you to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites back then, and there was also the recommendation of the brother slave, even if it was murder, how could you be so kind and take revenge?

This cabin is "decorated" exquisitely, not gorgeous, but it seems quite cultural, and the landscape calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, which is from the hands of famous artists. Those who don't know think it's a study, not a cabin.

Accompanied by the accompanying officials, the two came to the trestle of the Guangyuntan ferry, and then saw a small building ship parked next to the trestle, which was three stories high and extremely spacious.

Hahahahaha! ”

"It's a good fish."

This Chen Xilie really inquired about a lot of things.

Brother Ji said to Zheng Shuqing with a cold face. He also understands that Zheng Shuqing is not the material for investigating the case, this person's ability is just two words: fool!

Including Li Linfu, they are just here to show their presence, and by the way, they are just fishing on weekdays.

Of course, most of the officials on the ship were Li Linfu's cronies, and even several of his sons-in-law were also present.

"Let you wait for a long time, this appearance is very unhappy.

Brother Ji suddenly remembered this, he hadn't heard from Li Xuan for a long time.

Orchids or something, take them home and play with them and it's completely boring. It is in this strange and special environment that you can have a different kind of excitement when you start with this strange and beautiful young woman.

Is this also an outrageous operation?

Isn't that how officialdom plays? Li Linfu didn't refuse much!

Who would have thought that this was an Assassin!

Chen Xilie still wants to cry, he doesn't know what's going on!

It's just that Chen Xilie can say this, but Zheng Shuqing, the head of Dali Temple who handled the case, didn't want to listen to his defense.

If you do this, you are simply inferior to a beast! ”

Standing in a two-storey building near Guangyun Pond, you can look at the entire ferry.

Because Li Linfu himself is a person who is very good at patting Brother Ji's ass.

Li Linfu has decided to suppress Chen Xilie to the death after today.

On the surface, Li Linfu came to "inspect the work" and test how well the new ferry port was working.

Since the slenderness ratio of the boat is small and the width is sufficient, the shaking is almost not felt.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back.

"Zheng Aiqing, send Chen Xilie to Dali Temple Prison, take care of the good students, don't be lazy."

"Right Minister, I will ask her to relax your muscles and bones later, massage it, and be in the cabin upstairs. The lower officials will take others to inspect other places and will not disturb the right minister.

Anyone who understands understands it, needless to say that it understands too well.

Chen Xilie was so anxious that he cried, but Brother Ji didn't want to give him any chance at all.

"What has the prince been busy with lately?"

Even Li Guinian, who is good at playing flutes and pipes, is on the boat, just waiting for Li Linfu to arrive, and the banquet can begin.

If the Ministry of Rites is still in the book, Li Guinian can ignore it as a person in the pear orchard, but it is not easy to turn his face with it. Because the Ministry of Rites controls all kinds of "rite and music" resources, without their cooperation, it will be difficult to be a person and do things after the Year of the Turtle.

It's a big deal to rehabilitate him later, in short, it's not okay to have an explanation. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in Chang'an be in danger?

"Saint, Weichen has been wronged!"

"You ......"

Chen Xilie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said with low eyebrows.

But in fact, no one, including Chen Xilie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, expects these bureaucrats to see any way.

In short, this project is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and there is no disagreement between the government and the opposition.

Brother Ji suddenly realized that he has a poor memory when he is old, and Li Cheng has not participated in any government affairs at all, so Brother Ji has no idea what Li Cheng is busy with all day.

The right minister of the Tang Dynasty was bought and assassinated, shouldn't the Son of Heaven give an explanation to the officials and the people?

How can there be no dance without music?

The right minister works weekdays, can't he relax and relax?

The shape is simple and heavy, full of domineering.

Therefore, Li Linfu, as the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, attended such a completion ceremony, implying that this was a political achievement under his rule, and it was also the proper meaning.

Suddenly, Gao Lishi, who was not shocked by the usual humiliation and was invisible, was so frightened that his face changed greatly, and the medicine bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Hu Ji's slender and white fingers pressed on Li Linfu's shoulder, making the right minister of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but hum comfortably.

……

In the winter of the ninth year of Tianbao, Li Linfu, the right prime minister, was assassinated on a building boat moored at the Guangyuntan ferry, and the perpetrator was said to be a dancing girl who should be powerless. The woman absconded after the murder and was missing. The yamen, including Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion, have issued wanted warrants to arrest the murderers at sea. It's just that I can't start for a while.

I have to say, this is really ironic. Thanks to Chen Xilie, he doesn't have the superpower of "eavesdropping", otherwise he might not be able to help but scold directly.

"Slave understands, please rest assured saint."

Brother Ji nodded slightly, noncommittal, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly walked in, and said a few words to Gao Lishi in a low voice.

Li Linfu said triumphantly.

When Brother Ji learned of the situation, he returned to Xingqing Palace as soon as possible to deal with the case.

All the evidence points to Chen Xilie!

However, Chen Xilie is also at a loss for words, this dancing girl is indeed the orchid he bought from traffickers, but are there still few dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an who buy orchids?

Hu Jijiao snorted, and her voice was like a silver bell, which was very pleasant, which made Li Linfu's bones a little lighter.

"Sage, didn't the prince pray for you in Huashan, and supervise the construction of the altar there."

Chen Xilie cautiously exited the room, let the dancer Hu Ji in, then closed the door, and left the building boat with all the servants on board, leaving no one behind.

Chen Xilie came to Li Linfu's side and said quietly.

In the midst of everyone's eagerness, under the guidance of Li Guinian, the musicians on the ship also began to play music. A Western style permeates the cabin, which is fascinating.

With the decentralization of Brother Ji, Li Linfu has become more and more comfortable.

"Oh, Chen Shangshu is polite, polite.

Li Linfu got on the boat with a smile on his face, and soon saw a large number of acquaintances, basically all of whom were his henchmen. Everyone was in the big cabin of the ship, and they had already set up the table and waited for Li Linfu to come to the table.

Let's start the table, let's open the table, don't be stunned. ”

Because he knew that it was impossible for Chen Xilie to buy a murderer, let alone a murderer at the dinner he arranged, it was tantamount to telling others that Li Linfu was killed by him!

But in order to calm down the situation, Ji Ge had to point the finger at Chen Xilie!

Stepping on a horse, this guy is really good at slapping sycophants, and he actually shoots himself so comfortably. If it continues to develop like this, it will be amazing!

He couldn't help but make up his mind that he must suppress Chen Xilie a little in the future. This kind of sycophant person is much more terrible than those who can do things.

The latter didn't say a word, and drank the black medicinal soup in the bowl.

The right minister has to take care of this poor man. ”

Li Linfu turned his head with a horrible face, but found that the orchid was staring at him coldly, holding his hand tightly with his left hand, and then stabbing him in the back with his right hand sharply!

Can't the right phase relax and relax? What's wrong with caring for the dancing girl who is in the hands of traffickers?

Li Linfu quietly glanced at the dancing girl in the colorful gauze skirt, with a graceful figure and a delicate face, and a sense of weakness that particularly seduced men's care.

The orchid casually threw the knife into the lake of Guangyun Pond, and then changed into the clothes of the servants on and off the boat. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, he quietly left the ferry and disappeared in the crowded Chang'an City, never to be seen again.

If the Son of Heaven doesn't go, the right minister must go, otherwise there will be no enough weight to support the scene.

Basically, they are all famous local dishes in Chang'an! are also Li Linfu's favorite dishes on weekdays!

However, although the imperial court tried to search for the murderer and find clues, it did not find even a single hair.

Almost at the same moment as the music began, six dancers in red gauze skirts, like stars and moons, circled around a dancer in a colorful gauze skirt, dancing like butterflies.

Brother Kei waved his hand and didn't say anything superfluous.

Li Linfu was very natural, grabbed the left hand of this beautiful orchid, stroked it slowly, and then asked in a flirtatious tone: "Benxiang has more than 20 daughters, do you want to give Benxiang another one?" The body of the original picture is still very good! ”

Why is Brother Ji's mood helpless rather than angry at this moment?

Li Guinian didn't know in advance that this woman was going to attend the banquet, and Chen Xilie stuffed it in halfway.

Colliers replied respectfully.

The dancer was found by Chen Xilie, just to dedicate it to Li Linfu and please Li Linfu, and he didn't know other dancers at all.

That's the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, or the prime minister who has been in power for many years, and it's not a cat or a dog!

Even if it wasn't killed by Chen Xilie, he had to stand up and take responsibility.

Li Linfu nodded with satisfaction, everything was silent.

Half an hour later, the feast was dispersed. Chen Xilie helped Li Linfu, who was a little drunk, to the cabin on the top floor of the ship.

Chen Xilie never expected that the one-stop arrangement of eating, drinking, and having fun that he had painstakingly prepared would actually make Li Linfu determined to suppress him.

"Right Xiang, you are really good or bad."

Just a day ago, the completion ceremony of the second phase of the Guangyuntan project on the outskirts of Chang'an was held as scheduled.

Oops, speaking of which, this orchid is also pitiful, and has been resold several times, because she is a complete body, but she is forced to learn dance by traffickers every day, without a day off.

The sage is very concerned about the expansion of the Guangyuntan ferry, with this canal, the grain and straw in the eastern part of the country have entered the customs, and a lot of effort has been saved.

After all, Zheng Shuqing does have a last resort.

Of course, you can eat it, but you can't say it, and it's taboo.

The slippery Zheng Shuqing directly took him to Xingqing Palace, where he was interrogated by Brother Ji in person!

The assassination was the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, how could Dali Temple deal with the prime minister's case, and no matter how the case was judged, it was easy to fall into an irrelevant political whirlpool.

As soon as Li Linfu saw the ship, he felt very much about his appetite, and couldn't help but tease Chen Xilie: "Chen Shangshu has a heart, and today's itinerary is arranged properly." ”

Li Linfu squinted at the orchid who led the dance, and threw ambiguous glances at himself from time to time, feeling proud in his heart.

Colliers reminded in a whisper.

As for the other people on the ship, they didn't know about it, let alone preparing for the assassination, and there were several people in it who were Li Linfu's sons-in-law, so it was impossible to attack Li Linfu without reason.

After Imperial Physician Cao stepped down, Gao Lishi led a young eunuch in with the same medicine in his hand. Colliers himself mixed the two bowls of medicine, divided them equally, and gave one of them to the young eunuch.

Now that you've seen it here, let's go to the big boat and inspect the ferry along the shore.

Chen Xilie has already prepared a silk and bamboo orchestra on the big ship, and even the singers and dancers are also readily available.

Li Linfu pointed to the fish pieces on the table in front of him and said, the chef has already divided it so that he can't see the ingredients, but Li Linfu knows very well that this is a carp, and it is an extremely fresh carp that has just been fished out of the Yellow River!

Li Linfu was in a good mood, and said with a laugh while stroking the long beard on his chin.

As soon as he heard this, Chen Xilie hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "What should be done in a humble position, please board the ship." ”

Li Linfu looked around at everyone with a smile and said, his attitude was very modest. I didn't know who he was, and I thought he was a kind old man with a generous personality.

Syllable! Syllable!

Chen Xilie slapped his face twice, and the servants on the boat rushed out and brought plate after plate of delicacies to the table.

In the imperial study of the diligent government affairs building, Brother Ji looked at Chen Xilie helplessly and asked.

Seeing that he was fine after drinking the medicine, Brother Ji drank his bowl of soup and medicine, and the bitterness was staggering.

Datang, strong!

Datang, magnificent!

The emperor is just a decoration, he is the operator of the Tang Dynasty! These are the achievements of his rule!

"Right phase, please here, the big ship has docked, please move to the boat on the right side and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Guangyun Pond."

The expansion of the ferry port also cleared the shore of silt, allowing larger ships to dock. At the same time, a lot of supporting warehouses were built to temporarily store goods and collect rent.

Seeing the rows of ships of all colors, looking at the bustling ferries and the gradually rising shops, Li Linfu felt a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.

In desperation, Brother Ji had no choice but to take over the mess.

"Well, let's go."

Maybe it's not busy at all, and I don't know.

This kind of ability is just right for Li Linfu's assassination.

After Zheng Shuqing left, Brother Ji called Gao Lishi over, and asked with a gloomy face: "Lux, who do you think will kill the slave?" ”
