Chapter 241: Courtship
It was destined to be an unquiet night.
The officers and soldiers came out together, blockading the inner and outer cities, and the masters of the day patrol division and the night patrol division came out together to capture the three major incense masters of the Mahayana sect.
The Agarwood Building was taken over by the officers and soldiers, and everyone was taken away by the officers and soldiers.
The resurgence of Mahayana Buddhism, and the attack on the killing of the Agarwood Building caused an uproar in Kyoto.
Mahayana is so bold?
How dare you do it to the sons and daughters of Cheng Guogong?
Qin Zhen didn't have an empty title but no real power, it was the powerful Chengguo Duke of the dynasty, who held the military power in his hands!
……
The Imperial City of Dayu, which is the center of Dayu, is located on the central meridian of Kyoto.
Outside the Imperial City is a magnificent moat.
The walls of the huge imperial city are more than 20 zhang high, and there are patrolling armor soldiers inside the walls.
The forbidden army of the Dayu garrison in Kyoto included the Yulin Guard, the Dragon Warrior Guard, and the Kamikaze Guard, and these elite soldiers took turns to patrol day and night.
In the imperial city, the palaces, palace walls, and pavilions are countless, which correspond to the sentence in "A Fang Gong Fu" "Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion; The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are pecked high; Each hugs the terrain and fights with each other. ”
At this time, in the imperial study of the palace, there was still a lantern in his hand.
In front of the desk sat a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe, bowing his head and reading the folds.
As the king of a country, Emperor Yu had to get up at four o'clock in the morning, start reading at five o'clock, eat at six o'clock, and go to court at seven o'clock.
At this time, although the sky outside was still dark, Emperor Yu had already risen to deal with the twists and turns.
Since the founding of the country, Dayu has experienced four emperors, in addition to the founding emperor, Emperor Huiming is the most diligent emperor in all dynasties.
At this moment, the eunuch on duty outside the palace said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Qin Zhen, the Duke of Chengguo, asks to see you!" ”
"Let him in!"
Emperor Yu put down the fold in his hand and raised his head.
"Bow to your majesty!" Chengguo Gong Qin Zhen bowed slightly.
"Cheng Guogong doesn't need to be polite, I already know about the Mahayana Sect's assassination of Qin Jian and Qin Frost's bullying. Hum! These cult villains are really arrogant and boundless, and they dare to assassinate the children of the prince in the inner city of Kyoto, and I didn't expect this Mahayana religion to resurrect again, and it seems that they have accumulated a lot of strength in the dark over the years. I have issued an order, and I have ordered a quick investigation from the Ming Division, and this Mahayana sect must be eradicated! Emperor Yu's voice was angry, and he appeased Qin Zhen again.
"The minister has not killed the villains of the Mahayana religion over the years, they hold a grudge against the minister, and they want to kill the minister's children, which is also expected by the minister. However, this time, there are a total of 117 members of the Mahayana Sect, and there are three grandmaster-level masters, who can successfully infiltrate the inner city, but I am afraid that the three divisions of the garrison Kyoto have been infiltrated by the Mahayana Sect. Especially from the Ming Division, its head is hidden and his tail is exposed, and he acts domineeringly, and I don't know who is in charge. Qin Zhen said in a deep voice.
"I will thoroughly investigate this matter, if there is really such a thing as Aiqing said in the three divisions, I will definitely clean it to the end! As for the master of the Liming Division, this person is a loyal minister, but it is only the work of the Liming Division, and it is not appropriate to reveal his identity, so I have not let people know. Emperor Yu said warmly.
Emperor Yu was relieved for a few more words, and suddenly asked, "Do you know when the Western Shi family is going to come to argue the law?" ”
"The minister knows, the minister suspects ......" Qin Zhen looked around.
Emperor Yu waved his hand and shouted to the guards and eunuchs in the palace: "All retreat!" ”
Qin Zhen whispered.
Emperor Yu said: "Aiqing's worries are not unreasonable, I heard that the Vacuum Sect and the Wusheng Sect have also emerged recently, and they are demagogic among the people, maybe they will take advantage of this time." Since this is the case, then I will follow Aiqing's plan, and I will plan and lead you into the palace. If the cult is really so rampant, then I will destroy all three cults together! ”
When he said the last sentence, Emperor Yu's gaze became sharp: "In this matter, you still need Aiqing's help." ”
Qin Zhen said: "The minister must go all out!" Serve you! ”
"Hmm."
Emperor Yu nodded, and regained his pleasant complexion: "I heard that Qin Baoshuang has reached the age of marriage, but he still has no in-laws?" ”
Qin Zhen smiled bitterly: "The dog girl is arrogant, her eyes are above the top, and many in-laws who came to conspire made her refuse to go back. ”
Emperor Yu smiled: "I have also heard of the name of the talented woman of the Qin family. I pointed her out how. ”
Qin Zhen hurriedly said, "I don't know who Your Majesty is referring to?" ”
Emperor Yu smiled and said, "Today, Xie Yuan, Jiang Han." ”
Qin Zhen was obviously stunned for a moment, and raised his head: "Jiang Han?!" ”
……
On the way back to Chengguo Mansion, Qin Zhen sat in a sedan chair, closed his eyes and pondered.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this? A Xie Yuan, who can't enter His Majesty's eyes, what is the identity of this Jiang Han? Can you let Your Majesty personally ask for marriage? Or is it a deception......"
"A few days ago, His Royal Highness King Ji revealed the same meaning to me, and now, Your Majesty is going to get married, is it difficult to do it, Your Majesty has already leaned towards His Royal Highness King Ji in his heart......"
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen opened his eyes.
According to the information he learned, Jiang Han had become the elder of the Night Patrol Division and was relied on by His Royal Highness King Ji.
Over the years, His Majesty has favored King Ji, but he has alienated the prince, and now he is pampered to this extent......
Or does Your Majesty mean something else?
………………
Jiang Han didn't know that he had become a pawn on the emperor's chessboard, and after the Agarwood Building was attacked by the Mahayana Sect, the officers and soldiers came out together, and the whole city wanted the Dustless Daoist, the Qingjie Master and Tan Qingzhou.
But another Mahayana incense master, Cai Wei...... That is, the incense of the agarwood building, but it seems to be ignored.
The Night Watch didn't even arrest her.
But Jiang Han knew that it was not that the Night Patrol Division did not arrest her, but that Wu Hengzhi had already handed her over to himself.
Today, Jiang Han wanted to see Lianxiang...... No, it's the Rose Picker!
Although she betrayed Mahayana, she still has too many secrets.
"Zhou Hu, prepare a sedan chair, go to Heyue Restaurant!"
After Lianxiang left the Agarwood Building, she lived in the Heyue Restaurant, and these days, her whereabouts are under the control of the Night Patrol Division.
"Yes! Master! Zhou Hu immediately went to prepare a sedan chair.
And when Jiang Han left the Qin Mansion in a sedan chair, the Qin Mansion also welcomed a guest.
"Dou Tianhua has seen Master Qin, Mrs. Qin!"
Dou Tianhua was dressed in a gorgeous costume, followed by his entourage, and carried three carts of gifts outside.
Qin Zhong looked at Dou Tianhua strangely, this Dou Tianhua had something to do with the Qin Mansion.
Dou Tianhua's father, Dou Jianming married the concubine of the Ning family as a partial room, and this concubine is also a sister to Ning Ying.
Counting it up, Qin Zhong and Dou Jianming can also be regarded as brothers-in-law.
However, the two families have basically never interacted, Dou Jianming is in a high position, while Qin Zhong is a nominal prince, so naturally there is no connection.
"Jianming, you came here, but what is the reason for this gift?" Qin Zhong asked.
Dou Tianhua said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the master, madam, Dou came here today to propose marriage." ”
"Propose?" Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment.
Dou Tianhua said: "Yes! Dou came here to marry the Qin family and marry the second lady of the Qin Mansion, Qin Qingyan! ”
