When the sky is shining.

Lu Shen slowly opened his eyes, and a heavy fatigue surged over.

After yesterday's court meeting, he still didn't have time to rest, after all, the Son of Heaven only gave him ten days.

Wang Yan, Guo Congyi, Hu Hai, Ning Yuanfu, Le Qinyi and others were all arrested, but this rebellion obviously involved more than five of them, and the internal problems of the Beijing army alone were extremely complicated, not to mention that there were many people secretly helping the rebels.

Lu Shen put all these felons in the prison of the head of the warp weaving department, and let Yang Jingxuan, who rushed back, personally take charge of guarding and interrogating.

At this time, he definitely can't trust the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, if he is handed over to these yamen for detention, maybe he will make a violent death in prison.

There is no doubt that the Beijing army needs to be thoroughly rectified, and the Son of Heaven has other instructions on this matter, and Lu Shen, Liu Shouguang and Zhang Xu are jointly responsible, so that Qin Zheng will lead the secret agents of the Weaving Department to be responsible for supervising the whole process to prevent favoritism and fraud.

As for the specific measures, the first is to separate the generals and soldiers who clearly participated in the rebellion, secondly, to directly deprive these people such as Le Minghong and Zuo Yushan of their military posts, and let them go to the prison of the warp weaving department to be companions, and finally, to further screen the officers and men of each army and find out the black sheep involved in the rebellion.

All in all, it's an extremely energy-consuming affair.

There was also a major earthquake in the court, and two of the six Shangshu alone participated in the rebellion, and they were two of them with high status, namely Ning Yuanfu, the secretary of the ministry, and Le Qinyi, the secretary of the household.

What made Lu Shen a little surprised was that the Shang Shuding Association of the Ministry of War was not involved, this person had always been the backbone of the Jiangnan clan before, and he had talked about it in the court on behalf of the gate lord forces countless times, but this time he was as honest as a quail.

Of course, he has no leisure to explore the psychological activities of Ding Hui now, in addition to the two Shangshu, there are also a large number of civil officials from the family who are related to the rebellion.

Fortunately, the two prime ministers were able to help Lu Shen share a large part of the heavy responsibility, especially the ability of the right minister Xue Nanting was extremely outstanding, plus the Son of Heaven used the Hou Yu case to promote dozens of capable ministers and officials a few months ago, and the investigation in the court at least did not need Lu Shen to do it himself.

After the court meeting, Lu Shen invited a group of military and political bigwigs to the official office of the original Beijing Army Nanya, coordinated and communicated with everyone, and finally decided on a complete inventory strategy.

Whether it is the two prime ministers, or the two commanders, Liu Shouguang and Zhang Xu, they are very supportive of Lu Shen's arrangement, and other officials will naturally not jump out to find trouble.

At this point, there was only one crucial task left, which was to seal the mansions of the convicts, imprison their relatives, and confiscate their belongings.

Lu Shen gave this task to someone he absolutely trusted.

By the time everything was preliminarily arranged and the right personnel were selected to take over, Lu Shen and Lin Xi returned to the Hou Mansion by the time they returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already in the middle of the moon.

Both of them were exhausted, so they ate something hastily and went back to their rooms to rest.

Lying on the bed for a while, all the memories poured into his mind, and Lu Shen went through yesterday's arrangement again, and only after confirming that there was no problem was relieved.

At this time, he felt the aches in his body, but fortunately, after a good night's sleep, his mind was much clearer, so he got up and sat up.

"Awake? Why don't you sleep more? ”

A gentle voice sounded outside the screen.

The maids in the house are very sensible, and they know that their marquis doesn't like others to enter his bedroom at will, so unless Lu Shen opens his mouth to summon them, they will stay outside honestly.

The person who can go straight into this bedroom at this moment, and the maids outside have no reaction, is naturally the mistress of this Hou Mansion in their hearts.

The autumn morning was a little cool, Lin Xi was wearing a soft silver light lily skirt, facing the sky, and green silk covering her shoulders.

Lu Shen turned his head to look and said with a smile: "Senior sister got up so early? You should also take a little more rest. ”

Lin Xi slowly approached and said softly: "Although I am inseparable from you and fight side by side, my martial arts are higher than yours, and my internal strength is deeper than yours, the most important thing is that I only use a knife to kill the enemy, unlike you who have so many things in your mind, and you don't even have a moment to relax, of course you are not as tired as you." ”

"And that's just the beginning."

"Won't the emperor give you a holiday? Yikes—"

Lin Xi let out a soft snort, only to see Lu Shen take advantage of her walking to the bed, suddenly raised his hand to grab her wrist, and pulled her over.

"Messing around again."

Lin Xi snorted, but he didn't resist or shake off Lu Shen's hand, he simply sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and nodded Lu Shen's forehead.

Lu Shen grabbed her hand again, and then pulled her forward.

Lin Xi was helpless and funny, of course, with a little shame, after all, he still obeyed his will and leaned on his chest.

Listening to the sound of his powerful heartbeat, the atmosphere suddenly became beautiful.

"Don't mess around."

Lin Xi muttered softly, but this soft and glutinous tone really didn't have much lethality.

"Your Majesty is trusting me, or let me establish my prestige in the court, and at the same time, it is also for me to completely isolate myself from the Jiangnan Wang clan, so as to prevent me from getting together with those gate lords in the future."

Listening to Lu Shen's calm tone, Lin Xi was a little dazed.

She understood the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence puzzled her, so she asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lu Shen stroked the green silk on her shoulder, and said slowly: "Your Majesty asked me to preside over the investigation of the chaotic party, this time I don't know how many people will be involved, and most of them are wealthy families with roots in all parts of the Yangtze River. When the butcher's knife falls, they will not remember that they deserve it for launching a rebellion, and they will only hate Your Majesty and me, the one who holds the knife, although this is very unreasonable, but many people will think so. And, in the end, Your Majesty will definitely put me in charge of the execution. ”

Lin Xi frowned slightly, after all, she is still the style of the children of the rivers and lakes, advocating the distinction between grievances and grievances, and she is not very familiar with these people's hearts and ghosts and court power struggles.

"Why did the Emperor do this?"

"The successful cessation of this rebellion did have many benefits for His Majesty, such as the fact that he could further reclaim his authority, remove the carrion from the court and the army, and lay an extremely solid foundation for the successor monarch. However, this rebellion finally damaged the vitality of the center, a large number of officials were taken into custody, more than half of the casualties of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya, and the three Beijing camps also faced a major purge. In this way, the strength of the border army will show signs of overpowering the center, and now that the two Grand Governors and I are here, Your Majesty will not worry too much. But as a far-sighted emperor, he had to take precautions. ”

Lin Xi looked up at him and said in a low voice, "The emperor regards you as a hidden danger?" ”

Lu Shen raised his hand and brushed her white cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Your Majesty just doesn't want a powerful minister in Daqi who has no one to control and is in power, and he won't think about being unfavorable to me." ”

Having said that, Lin Xi still sighed lightly, and then wrapped his hands around Lu Shen's back.

"Senior sister, have you ever heard a word?"

Feeling Lin Xi's soft and graceful body close to him, Lu Shen couldn't help but feel that his throat was slightly dry.

"What?" Lin Xi's voice was a little muffled.

Lu Shen bowed his head and said in her ear: "The hibiscus tent is warm for the Spring Festival......"

This is one of the few verses that Lu Shen remembered in his previous life, and it is extremely suitable for use at this time.

However, his lips touched Lin Xi's earlobe, and the heroine couldn't help laughing, and said crisply: "It's itchy......"

The beautiful atmosphere suddenly has a tendency to collapse.

Lu Shen's heart was horizontal, and he simply picked up Lin Xi horizontally with both hands, and turned into a state where the two of them were lying side by side.

The four eyes are facing each other, and they are close at hand.

Lin Xi's cheeks were flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he subconsciously put his hands on Lu Shen's chest, biting his lip and saying, "Senior brother, don't mess around, otherwise I will beat you." ”

"Then you're going to beat me up."

Lu Shen put on a posture that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and touched it with both hands without hesitation.

Lin Xi's heart trembled, only to feel a stream of electricity flowing all over his body, and there was a little more pleading in his bright eyes: "There are people outside." ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "No one dares to break in." ”

As he spoke, he kissed Lin Xi's lips.

The two have had many intimate contacts, especially some time ago, Lu Shen took Lin Xi to swim in the mountains and rivers, and he was often cheeky and greasy.

Lin Xi will not deliberately be pretentious, except for the last step, it can be said that he will give and give to Lu Shen, but the current environment is a little special.

At least in her heart, the bed was different from other places, and Lu Shen's state today looked different from before.

Feeling his enthusiasm and wandering hands, Lin Xi gradually immersed herself in it, and just when she hesitated to stop this guy's inch, a timid voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Lord Qiqi."

Lu Shen took a light breath, and his face showed a rather rare expression of annoyance.

Lin Xi sneered and looked at him a little proudly, not knowing how attractive his sideburns, Xia Fei's cheeks, and disheveled clothes were at the moment.

"What?"

Lu Shen cleared his throat and asked not very crisply.

The voice of the maid outside became more and more cowardly, with some trills: "Qi Hou Ye, Li Duwei came to the door, the big housekeeper invited her to tea in the main hall, and let the maid come and tell Hou Ye." ”

"Hurry up."

It was Lin Xi who reacted first, she pushed Lu Shen away in disgust, quickly got up and tidied up her appearance, and then said shamefully: "I have to go back and freshen up, you must not talk nonsense in front of Sister Bingxue, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." ”

Lu Shen smiled helplessly.

After a while, the two came to the main hall together, and saw Li Bingxue sitting comfortably drinking tea alone.

After seeing the two of them appear, Li Bingxue looked at them casually and said with a smile: "It seems that I didn't come by chance." ”

Lu Shen only felt that these words were a little familiar, so he asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Lin Xi was full of shyness, lest he would be seen by Li Bingxue, which would naturally be even more embarrassing.

"Come too early, delay your breakfast."

Li Bingxue said a word, and then said to Lu Shen: "But this is still to blame for you after all." ”

Lu Shenqi said: "I don't understand this. ”

Li Bingxue said: "Blame you for leaving that matter to me and the Flying Feather Battalion." ”

At yesterday's meeting, Lu Shen handed over the task of sealing the mansions of various criminals and arresting relatives to Li Bingxue, commonly known as raiding the house.

This is an extremely lucrative errand, even if the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion only pass a little hand, it is enough for them to eat and drink, which can be regarded as the court's reward for the long-distance attack of the Feiyu Battalion.

As for Lin Xi and the Seven Star Army, Lu Shen naturally had other arrangements.

Lu Shen said: "Could it be that there is any trouble?" ”

Li Bingxue shook her head and said, "It's not a trouble, but it's not as easy as I imagined." Why don't you go and have a look? ”

Lu Shen and Lin Xi glanced at each other, and then bowed their heads and said, "Okay." ”
