Jingjun Nanya.

Someone with a heart suddenly found that this yamen, which was in charge of the eleven Beijing troops, seemed to have changed its taste.

With Hou Yu of Nan'an suspended from all his duties by the Son of Heaven, he nominally let him return to the palace to recuperate from his injuries, but in fact it was no different from imprisonment, so he naturally could no longer interfere in the military affairs of Nanya.

Although the privy envoy Guo Congyi temporarily controls one-third of the military power of the Nanya, his usual office is in the Privy Council, and he will not appear in the Nanya unless necessary.

In short, the only person who is really in power in Nanya today is Lu Shen.

Of course, the scene in Nanya is not what some people imagine, Lu Shen took advantage of this time to grasp the military power, and pulled the generals of various armies together every day to enhance their feelings.

In fact, the garrisons of the various armies of the Nanya are all outside Beijing, and the generals of the various armies will generally stay in the camps, unless they return to Beijing to visit their relatives during the rest of the day, or the Nanya has an order to summon them back to Beijing.

For example, today, in addition to Lu Shen, the general, there are only officials from various subordinate houses in the Southern Ya.

There is also a group of strange people.

In the spacious and bright Mingzhu Hall, five tables are lined up one after another, and the tables are piled with various files.

The prison masters from the Weaving Division, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple crossed and shuffled into arrays, reviewing the battle reports of the Chengzhou Governor's Mansion over the years, as well as all the job change records surrounding Hou Yu's military entry to the present.

After one group is checked, it is then submitted to the next group for review, and until the last group is finished, everyone needs to sign the file they have reviewed.

In the corner, Luo Jiujiu's eyes wandered, looking at the officials who were sitting at the long table and meticulously flipping through the files.

Four days have passed since that court meeting, and the reason why she has been following Lu Shen and even living in the Marquis of Shanyang Mansion openly is entirely because the courtiers don't know how to settle this alien woman.

She is the daughter of the head of the Yalong tribe in Shazhou, and this identity is actually very sensitive.

It is the hope of most important ministers in the court to repair relations with the Shazhou Seven Ministries, but the probability of success in this matter is very low, and the Son of Heaven ordered the investigation of Hou Yu This time has little to do with the Shazhou Seven Ministries, mainly because what Hou Yu has done has seriously damaged the majesty of the imperial court.

However, she can't leave Luo Jiujiu in Beijing at will, because her identity has been exposed, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will beat her idea.

It is also inappropriate to let her live in the Honglu Temple Protocol Courtyard, after all, the current Daqi and Shazhou Qibu are still in a hostile relationship on the surface, and the Qingshui Yamen is even more unsafe.

In the end, the Son of Heaven simply assigned Luo Jiujiu to Lu Shen to take care of, anyway, she was an important witness in Hou Yu's case.

Being able to follow Lu Shen to observe the operation of the Great Qi Imperial Court, Luo Jiujiu felt that this job was not bad at first, and soon she was only left with boredom.

Lu Shen, the investigator, was not as resolute as she imagined, she spent the past four days in Nanya, watching those officials look through the files, and when she returned to the Shanyang Marquis Mansion, there was nothing to talk about - Lu Shen prepared an independent courtyard for her in the mansion, and the two of them didn't talk and communicate, and they couldn't even meet each other.

If he hadn't seen Lu Shen appear for her in the palace hall, Luo Jiujiu would probably suspect that this young prince didn't want to bring down Hou Yu at all.

When Luo Jiujiu was outside the object, a voice not far away attracted her attention.

"Lord Qiqi, the information archived in Beijing is not complete, Xia Guan has already sent someone to fly pigeons to pass the book to Chengzhou Division, and the relevant information will be sent over soon."

The man who spoke was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a fair complexion and a slightly thin figure.

After Lu Shen sat down at the desk, he looked up at the young man who looked a little bit manly and female.

This person is Yang Jingxuan, the warp weaver inspector.

Just as he saw at a glance in Dingzhou that Qingyu Huaijin was a woman disguised as a man, and now he can confirm that Yang Jingxuan, who is naturally delicate, is a man, but it is indeed a relatively rare thing to see such a weak inspector in the warp weaving department.

However, he will not despise Yang Jingxuan because of this, because the other party is not only Qin Zheng's nephew, but also the person in charge of the warp weaving department about Jiangbei intelligence in the past two years.

"There is a sheep inspector."

Lu Shen bowed slightly, looked at those prison masters and asked, "Is there a gain?" ”

Yang Jingxuan had made up his mind to go to the frontier earlier, and it was a rare opportunity for him to get in close contact with Lu Shen this time, he did not show his gaffe, and responded calmly: "There are some gains, there are indeed loopholes in the several war reports of Nan Anhou back then, but it is not enough to convict him with this." ”

Before Lu Shen could speak, a crisp voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Why don't you just arrest Hou Yu? As long as he is tortured for the first trial, won't he confess everything? ”

The corners of Lu Shen's lips hooked up a touch of arc, and Yang Jingxuan turned his head to look at Luo Jiujiu, who was staring wide-eyed, and patiently explained: "Miss Luo, Nan'an Hou has a high position and power, and his influence in the army is not weak, we can only start with the strategy set by Lu Hou, otherwise the final result will be easily overturned, let alone directly arrest and interrogate Nan'an Hou." ”

It's not that Luo Jiujiu doesn't understand this truth, mainly because Lu Shen's step-by-step approach is different from her imagination.

Lu Shen didn't say anything to her, just looked at Yang Jingxuan and said, "Don't miss the details of Jingzhong." You know Hou Yu's details very well, even if he can cover the sky with one hand in Chengzhou, he can't leave the capital and someone in Beijing to help him cover up his traces. Since we want to investigate, we must find out this matter clearly in accordance with Your Majesty's will. ”

Yang Jingxuan said convincingly: "Yes, Master Hou." ”

In the evening, Luo Jiujiu got into Lu Shen's carriage and waited for Lu Shen for a while before getting on the car.

She asked curiously, "What did you do?" ”

Lu Shen replied indifferently: "I explained some things to Yang Cha. ”

Luo Jiujiu couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Shen glanced at her puzzled, and the meaning of his words was very clear: What does it have to do with you?

"When I didn't ask."

Luo Jiujiu was free and easy by nature, but he didn't care.

Nothing to say all the way.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Luo Jiujiu was stopped by Lu Shen before returning to her small courtyard, she stopped and turned to look at Lu Shen, with a blank look on her face.

Lu Shen thought for a while and advised: "I'm going out of the city tomorrow to do something, you stay in the mansion and don't go out, just find a housekeeper to do whatever you need." ”

Luo Jiujiu's heart moved, and he smiled crisply: "I know." ”

……

Following.

More than 20 miles away in the eastern suburbs of the capital, there is a military camp backed by a low mountain, where the Wei army of Nanya Town of the Beijing Army is stationed.

The 11th Army of the Southern Ya is distributed in the west, north and east directions of the capital, guarding Yongjia City like stars and moons, and the farthest station is close to the territory of Xinzhou in the north.

The defense of the inner city of the capital was the responsibility of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya.

When Nan Ya saw it that day, Le Minghong and the other three commanded and relieved their hearts, after all, Lu Shen did not take out the name of a general to force them to bow their heads, but on the contrary, gave them enough respect, so the three of them were also honestly prepared for Lu Shen to review the three armies.

On the vast school grounds, more than 30,000 people from the three armies of Zhenwei, Chongwei and Liwei lined up loosely.

Outside the camp gate, Yan Bing, the commander of the Liwei Army, looked at the scattered scene on the school field, turned around and said a little nervously: "Two brothers, do we want to clean up the team?" ”

Le Minghong, the commander of the Zhenwei army, said indifferently: "The general hasn't come again, why is Brother Yan so anxious?" It's just a superficial article, who can you show so early? Brother Yan, the general is not from our Beijing army, and he may not remember us when he goes to the frontier to grab military exploits in the future, so you don't have to be too attentive. ”

The words made Yan Bing's face turn red.

He can probably understand the reason for the sudden change in Le Minghong's attitude, and the cause is still related to Hou Yu's case and Lu Shen's current position as a messenger.

is also a Jiangnan family, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

Zuo Yushan saw that Le Minghong's mood was not quite right, so he changed the topic and said: "I thought that the general would postpone it for a while, after all, he is now taking on a heavy responsibility, but I didn't expect him to be so energetic." ”

Le Minghong's eyes were slightly cold, and he sneered: "Now is the time when he is proud of his power, so naturally he refuses to leave anything behind." ”

Zuo Yushan sighed lightly and said earnestly: "Brother Le, bear with me." ”

Le Minghong turned his head to look at him, met his sincere gaze, the anger in his heart subsided, and nodded: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

Seeing this, Yan Bing said cautiously: "Two brothers, should today's arrangements be postponed?" ”

Le Minghong looked at him puzzled, as if asking which end he was standing on? Is it because of that pamphlet that you are going to change the court?

Yan Bing smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Le, don't misunderstand, the foolish brother just thinks that the general still has the identity of a chaser at the moment, if he really angers him, I'm afraid it won't end well in the end." ”

Zuo Yushan was relieved: "You don't have to worry too much, since he is the general of Nanya, our top official, then he has the obligation to solve the difficulties for us and the brothers below." We are not doing nothing, we are encountering real difficulties, who else can we find if we don't look for him, the general? ”

Having said that, Yan Bing still couldn't feel at ease, but even if the three of them had the same military rank, he didn't have much say in front of these two people.

was about to continue to persuade, when he heard Le Minghong say in a deep voice: "It's here." ”

Everyone looked west, only to see dust on the straight road, and more than 100 cavalry galloped towards them.

In front of the team, a big flag fluttered in the wind, and a huge word "Lu" was written on it.

The three commanders and more than a dozen generals hurriedly stepped forward, but fortunately, the more than 100 cavalry slowed down in advance and did not let them be disgraced in this bright sunshine.

"The last general will see the general!"

The crowd saluted in order.

"You don't have to be polite."

A divine steed appeared in front of everyone, and there was a quiet and indifferent voice.

Le Minghong looked up, and happened to meet Lu Shen's gaze, which seemed to be not much different from when they met in Nanya that day, but it seemed to be a little more inexplicable.

For some reason, Le Minghong's heart suddenly sank.
