The Hidden Serpent
"Heng'er, what do you think about this matter?" The inside of the imperial study was dark, and only the oil lamp on the table in the center gave a faint glow, ensuring that people outside could not see the doorway in the room.
"Father, but the emperor wants to buy time to investigate this case."
"It's not about this case, it's about how the people behind it dig it out, do you understand?"
"So, the father wants to use this to blow the concubine and suppress the momentum of the left minister?"
"No, it's not suppression, it's eradication."
"Eradication?"
From beginning to end, he does not look at who has been wronged and who has committed a crime, but how to use this sin to dig up what he wants to dig up and get rid of what he perceives to be a threat.
Tang Xi Mingzhi muttered: "So, the father wants to change people!" ”
"Yes, I want you to investigate this matter." Tang Xi Mingzhi looked up, trying to see a little emotion from the emperor's eyes to judge what kind of medicine his gourd contained, but he couldn't see at all, this is not ruthless indifference, but he has seen through too much condensation and sinking, it is an abyss, with a fatal and terrible attraction, Tang Xi Mingzhi doesn't know what he thinks in his heart, this emperor's plan is by no means simple.
"My father wants his sons to go to Shunteng to find out the power of the left minister."
The emperor looked at him quietly and smiled silently.
"Father?"
After a long silence, the emperor sighed. He said in a deep voice: "What you have to do now is to wait, and when you go to Yangshan, you don't have to do anything during this period, and the case will be handed over to someone for investigation." ”
It is becoming more and more unpredictable, if so, why would the emperor invite him late at night.
"Father, my sons don't understand."
"Where is it next to Yangshan?"
"Next to Yangshan......" Tangxi Mingzhi tried to recall in his mind the map of the human world that he specially memorized, and next to Yangshan was, "It's Ruan Cheng!" ”
At this time, a huge net appeared in Tang Ximing's mind, almost at the same time, he saw what the emperor really wanted to do from this dense net, and a gratifying smile appeared on the emperor's face, and his fingertips on the table tapped like a drum, announcing the official start of the silent war. This old fox is using the case of the noble concubine to kill the prince to attract the attention of the left minister, at this time his hidden connections and dark lines will be ready to move, and Chu Changheng stays in the capital, that is, the people of the left minister will not notice Yangshan, and they will not be able to perceive that the emperor has noticed the relationship between Yangshan and Ruan Cheng, so he will appropriately place Yangshan in the capital, and when he goes to Yangshan, he can catch it all, and what he has to do now is to wait, what the emperor wants to do is to stir up this case that can be easily solved by Zuo Xiang with interests, so that he is in a hurryand the horse's feet will appear.
"Heng'er, come here." The emperor walked to the side, twisted the mechanism in the corner next to the bookcase, and a pamphlet came into view, and when he opened it, he saw the names of many people on display.
"Father, what is this?"
"Tips for you."
"Tips, these people have never heard of it, where are they?"
"Since I ascended the throne, the left minister has made me act in a constrained way, and I can't break free in many ways, my father was poisoned to death when he was about to get out of the control of the left minister, in order to keep me alive, my father can only pretend to be angry with me, and want to abolish me as the prince, and when I am desperate, I will push me to the side of the left minister, and I have really become the only surviving prince. Replace the death row prisoners with them throwing into the wilderness, this booklet is one of the officials sent to Yangshan, who hate Zuo Xiang to the core, and can be sent for you. ”
has been planning for decades, just waiting for a moment, the power of the left minister is really terrifying, and the emperor's patience is not far behind.
"Father, why can't you directly capture Zuo Xiang when there is so much evidence?"
"Left is like the opposite, easy as the opposite. At this time, I don't rebel, but I'm afraid of risking the world's disapproval and being criticized, if I capture it, I will force him to rebel, at that time, no one can stop it, the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and warm water can boil frogs. ”
"If the Yangshan case is clear, can we weaken his power and let people replace him?
The emperor chuckled lightly and touched his forehead: "Silly son, if Yangshan can restrain him, the evidence in my hand is enough for him to die a few times, and you are not the only one." ”
Not the only one.
"Father?"
"Shhh-" The emperor put his hand to Tang Ximing's lips, "Do your thing, and you will know when the time comes." ”
"Who is he?" As soon as he entered the door, Tang Xi Mingzhi saw a strange man lying on a chair in his room and nibbling on a peach.
"Shan Yuhu, the queen's righteous son, your brother-in-law." Lu Runkun introduced expressionlessly on the side, at this time she was so sleepy that her head and feet were upside down, and she couldn't suppress the pressure of the anger.
Tang Xi Mingzhi quickly adjusted his expression, and Shan Yuhu was already Taishan and pounced on him: "Xiao Hengheng, how can you not even recognize me, brother, I am really sad." ”
Lu Runkun held his forehead, and the scratching of his heart and liver on his face came from nowhere, which really made people unbearable to look at directly.
Tang Xi Mingzhi casually said a few words to fool people over, and he was generally sleepy~ I can't recognize it~ I'm embarrassed~ so he sent the person out, and sent someone to take care of him better, so he closed the door.
"What about the Taoist priest?" He asked, turning his head.
"You're next door." Lu Runkun saw that there were no outsiders at this time, and he was already lying on the table, and his upper and lower eyelids were like glue and couldn't break free.
Seeing this, Tang Ximing gently picked up the person and put it on the bed, took off his shoes and socks, picked up the quilt on the side and covered it gently, the girl was so sleepy that she couldn't speak clearly, but she still struggled to mutter: "Yuanzun, don't think that in the daytime, you will quarrel with me, I, yes, I am not convinced." ”
Fool, Tang Xi Mingzhi flicked her skull, now, she was tied here by that person's instructions, and she wanted to take out all her beards and tails, but this person's ability is very big, and his temperament is also very big, so it's hard to care!
Early the next morning, Lu Runkun got up from the bed with two big black circles under his eyes, and what he saw in a daze was Tangxi Mingzhi sitting upright and writing.
"Yuanzun, you're not sleepy!"
"When I was in the divine realm, I started every day at this moment, so that I was not sleepy."
Lu Runkun slowly paced to Tangxi Mingzhi and sat down on his stomach, his eyes still couldn't open, and even the people who looked at him were phantoms swaying from side to side.
"Still sleepy?"
"Hmm~" Lu Runkun nodded, his voice was milky, and he looked very cute.
Tangxi Mingzhi took out a piece of yellow rune paper from the side, drew something with cinnabar, and placed it on the teacup on the side, but the rune paper did not burn, but gradually turned into a breeze, scooped the tea until it floated, and under several cleansings, it turned into a blue rain, which slowly fell into the cup, and in an instant, the teacup was in front of him.
"What is this?"
"Qingshen tea, keep you from getting sleepy for a day."
"Really?" Lu Runkun shook the tea in the cup, and looked at Tang Xi Mingzhi's eyes with a slight suspicion.
"Genuine."
Lu Runkun poured the tea violently, the tea with a pleasant coolness, cleansing all the way, until the bottom of the heart, the mind was clear for a moment, feeling that the spiritual head seemed to be hanging by a thin rope, all the sleepiness was gone, the previous side was chaotic, has become a different world, Yuanzun brand Qingshen tea, you, worth having.
"Thank you, Yuanzun." Lu Runku clasped his fists with both hands, made a big salute, and then rushed out of the door to find the queen to arrange the birthday banquet, but the stamina of this Qingshen tea was almost abnormal, in the evening, when Tangxi Mingzhi was already asleep, Lu Runkun dragged his quilt corners, and shook the person from the bedside to wake up, Tangxi Mingzhi grabbed a piece of rune paper, and sat up with a "whoosh", but saw Lu Runkun pitifully at the head of the bed, with sincerity in his eyes, if he gave her a tail at this time, he must be as brilliant as a flower.
"What, so...... Arrived in the middle of the night, but his life was in danger? Got something to ask for? ”
"Yuanzun~"
"Huh?"
Lu Runkun looked at him pitifully: "I can't sleep." ”
Tang Xi Mingzhi put down the rune paper in his hand, feeling a little speechless and choked.
"Really~" Lu Runkun shook Tang Ximing's arm and said, "The Qingshen tea you gave is so good, I can't sleep now, I will die suddenly." ”
"You wait." Tang Xi Mingzhi got up and took out a piece of talisman paper, and Lu Runkun immediately lit a fire talisman and shone it on the table.
A sleepy charm was written, and it melted into the water like the sun, except that the water was not turquoise, but brownish-red brown.
After Lu Runkun finished drinking, before the words were spoken, she fell asleep on the table, and before she lost consciousness, she had such a sentence floating in her heart: "Yuanzun brand sweat medicine, worthy of its name." ”
The next day, Tang Xi Mingzhi asked Lu Runkun under the pretext that he was going to tidy up the study, and told the emperor's plans and ideas in detail, Lu Runkun lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "The struggle for imperial power has always been cruel, and weak people can only be eaten by wolves, I wonder, why did you suddenly become smarter, and the emperor didn't check it, so he was so relieved of you?" ”
"Do you believe that a white sheep will be raised among the wolves?"
"I don't believe it."
So, he didn't believe it either. He already knew that I was hiding clumsy, and Chu Changheng Xiwen had been bumped into by him before, and he didn't say anything, he was helping me cover up. ”
"Why? Doesn't the emperor want his son to be as smart as possible? ”
He said that if a wolf does not have the courage to become a wolf, then he is an Aries in wolf's clothing, and he is overwhelmed by the task and scattered with one blow. He's waiting for me to show my own minions. ”
"Speaking of which, he is so calm that he shouldn't snub the queen because of a dead white moonlight."
"Maybe I'm also waiting, waiting for the day when the left side falls."
Qi Lu Runkun sighed, pushed the scroll in his hand to the side, and his impatience slowly overflowed: "Then, let's say, how to stir up this troubled water, the officials who have supervised the case in the past two days should have no place to hide." ”
