……

After Su Zhan entered the hall, he saw that the sleeves of the Son of Heaven were rolled up, and he was fiddling with the sand table, seeing him coming, he raised his head and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Why is this so?" ”

When Su Zhan touched this look, he knew that what he wanted to say, the Son of Heaven actually understood everything, so he didn't say anything more, but just said with a straight face: "Look up to the sky, bow down to others, and the husband should do things." ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "Oh, you are Su Zhan." ”

Su Zhan couldn't understand what he heard, but when he saw the Son of Heaven, his expression was pleasant, and he couldn't help but smile.

Ying Zheng said: "I have my own plans for this matter, so don't interfere." ”

Su Zhan was slightly surprised at first, then secretly relieved, and hurriedly said yes.

Ying Zheng asked him again: "I heard that you sent someone to pick up Cao Yang's widowed mother?" ”

Su Zhan said: "Yes." Captain Cao...... Cao Yang made many enemies in Beijing. ”

After a pause, he said, "A person like him should not have such an ending." ”

Ying Zheng said softly: "I know. ”

He approached to straighten Su Zhan's hair crown, and finally patted him on the shoulder, with a gentle expression: "Go back." If you have nothing to do lately, don't go out. ”

Su Zhan's heart was moved, and he intended to ask a question or two, but he stopped when he touched the light of the Son of Heaven's eyes, and finally bowed his head and responded: "Yes." ”

……

Cao Yang's imprisonment was not implicated in the court at that time, because the black-clothed guards had special powers, and the matter did not even cause any discussion in the court.

Until this day, Wang Yue, the temporary commander of the black-clothed guard, worked overtime in Zhongshu Province until the moon was in the willows, and was thinking about going home to take a breath after work, when the black-clothed guards came to the door.

Wang Yue is very Buddhist about this position that the Son of Heaven threw on him, and it can even be said that because he is very good at licking, he is very Buddhist at this time......

After Chai Tongfu and others, he also understood that today's desire to control the court is definitely not inferior to that of Emperor Mingzong, who set up internal guards, in this case, the sharp weapon of the black-clothed guard will never be handed over to the prime ministers of the three provinces.

The reason why I am giving it to myself now is because in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, he is interesting enough, and he will never stretch out his hand where he shouldn't - as the first licking dog under the Son of Heaven, what the Son of Heaven wants him to do, of course he has to do it!

Because of Cao Yang's matter, the five commanders of the black-clothed guards were put to a damn, and Cao Yang, the first person under the leadership, also went to death row, and there was a vacancy in the top power level of the black-clothed guards, but there were no problems with the structure at the bottom or the grassroots personnel.

Therefore, what Wang Yue has to do is to be a papier-mâché boss, temporarily leading the position of the black-clothed guard, and in the future, the Son of Heaven will have a suitable person to take charge of the black-clothed guard, and he will be able to retire successfully.

With this awareness, Wang Yue just clicked on the internal affairs of the black-clothed guard, and as for the confidential documents in the ban, he hadn't read any of them.

Jokes, the more you know, the faster you die, and he's not stupid!

Just when Wang Yue thought that his life was so uneventful and happy, he took the initiative to come to the door.

Although Cao Yang was sentenced to death by the Son of Heaven at this time, in order to prevent leakage of secrets, he naturally had to be detained in the prison of the black-clothed guards.

As the prime minister, Wang Yue has experienced so many winds and waves that he naturally understands that this "Cao Yang spoke" exists as a sudden and important event, rather than a physiological phenomenon.

He asked someone to go with him to the study, sent away the servants and maids around him, and sat down abruptly: "Let's talk about it." ”

The black-clothed guard who came to the scene sweated on his forehead, looked panicked, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "When Cao Yang reported that the right servant of the former Shangshu shot Dong Chang, he colluded with the clan, implicated the nobles and hundreds of officials, coveted the artifact, and intended to rebel!" ”

Wang Yue fell directly from the chair.

- rebellion!

Is this kind of earth-shattering event something that can be heard casually?!

Do you want to do this!

I'm just an acting supervisor, so why are you persecuting me!

No matter what the case is, if the word "rebellion" is involved, it will inevitably be followed by bloodshed, and when the matter is reported to Wang Yue's desk, how dare he turn a deaf ear?

He immediately ordered people to prepare horses and go to the prison where Cao Yang was being held.

This has led to an earth-shattering case.

……

As he walked up the stairs one by one, Wang Yue's legs were trembling, and his sideburns were already wet with cold sweat.

The first emperor, the empress dowager, Princess Chongqing, Feng Mingda, Dong Changshi, Ji Wangfu, Kang Guogong, Qian Guogong, in addition, there are several clan relatives and high-ranking families involved......

Folk slang has always been used to describe big cases, often saying "this is a stabbing of the sky", but in this case, it is not only a stabbing of the sky, it is simply about stabbing the sky!

But now what should he do?

Hide it as if nothing happened?

This idea turned in his mind for a moment, and was vetoed by Wang Yue himself.

Why.

He's not stupid.

The Wang family was not involved, and the Pei family of his wife clan had nothing to do with this matter, and he couldn't even recognize all the guards in the black-clothed guard's dungeon, so why did he think that he, the commander who had parachuted in, could silence everyone's mouths?

Such an earth-shattering event, if a trace of wind leaks out, and it reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven in the future, the Son of Heaven will only have one thought - if you are not a thief, why do you want to hide it?!

Damn dog minion, kill !!

When Wang Yue thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver, and after he didn't even care about his appearance, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve and ordered people to guard against it and not to call anyone to visit Cao Yang, and then hurried to the palace gate.

At that time, the night was already dark, and the palace gate had already fallen to the key, so Wang Yue naturally could not walk through with his identity seal like the daytime.

Fortunately, however, his status was extraordinary, and he reported his name and surname to the forbidden army office on duty, saying that there were 100,000 urgent matters to ask him to see the Son of Heaven, and he asked the other party to go and return to him.

The generals of the forbidden army on duty repeatedly confirmed with him: "Is Ling Jun really going to meet the Son of Heaven?" It must be known that the palace gate is locked and the key is carried out again, and the matter of opening the door and letting the foreign ministers in, has never been seen in the previous emperor's dynasty——"

Wang Yue was sure and affirmed: "Although you go to return, if the Son of Heaven has any reproach, Wang will bear it!" ”

The general of the forbidden army on duty then asked him to wait outside the door, cautiously admonished his subordinates, and personally went to the Taiji Palace to deliver a message.

At that time, the Son of Heaven had already rested, and was awakened by the courage of the inner servant, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, called the commander of the forbidden army inside, and asked: "Wang Lingjun missed the night to ask for a meeting, and the Tao is a hundred thousand urgent things?" ”

The commander of the forbidden army said respectfully: "Yes." ”

The Son of Heaven hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Pass him in." ”

Wang Yue almost trotted all the way to the Taiji Palace, and after entering the door, he first gasped for two breaths, and then fell to his knees and said tremblingly: "The more important things you want to do in the minister's book, please let Your Majesty retreat!" ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and sent the attendants out of the palace.

After a period of vigorous exercise, Wang Yue felt that his throat was fishy, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and he was ready to tell the story of tonight's shock.

It was only at this time that he peeked at the Son of Heaven sitting on the top.

Probably because the Son of Heaven had already rested, and he came too hastily, so the Son of Heaven only tied up his hair at this time, wore a middle coat, and draped his dark robe over his shoulders.

At that time, the night was deep, the dark clouds covered the moon, there was no half of the light outside the window, and there were only a few faint yellow lamps in the inner hall, and the face of the Son of Heaven was hidden behind the flickering candles, as if it had also become a sitting statue in the temple, hazy and treacherous.

Wang Yue's heart suddenly swooped.

Suddenly, he realized, was something too smooth.

Cao Yang was the beloved minister of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven had always been strong, so why did he immediately order Cao Yang to be put on death row in the face of the fact that the acting king was about to collapse at the first touch?

From Cao Yang's confession to the black-clothed guards who guarded him hurriedly went to the house to look for him, was there no one else to handle it, and he Wang Yue, the black-clothed guard commander who parachuted in the past, was the first person to hear Cao Yang's confession?

There are also people who Cao Yang confessed, and at the same time implicated the clan, nobles, and courtiers, but they did not have a deep relationship with him......

That day, the Son of Heaven asked him to wait for the black-clothed guard to be in charge, but in the end, it was purely because he was the Son of Heaven's confidant and knowledgeable, or was the Son of Heaven waiting for things to develop like they are today?

What about Cao Yang's confession......

When Wang Yue thought of this, he suddenly felt terrified, and the sweat that was easy to stop suddenly surging again.

The Son of Heaven sat on his head, solemn and calm, and saw that his expression seemed to be different, so he greeted him with concern: "Wang Lingjun, what's wrong with you?" ”

The Son of Heaven looked at him fixedly, and said kindly: "Didn't you say that there are 100,000 urgent things that must be reported to me?" ”

Wang Yue was watched by him, only to feel a cold air slowly crawling up the back of his head along his waist.

The muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times, and he quickly leaned down, covering the discoloration on his face by kneeling and bowing, and at the same time wept: "Your Majesty, the contemporary saint, must be blessed by heaven, and if this is the case, the ministers will see through the treacherous tricks and save the temple from the generals——"

Chapter 32

No one knows what the Zhongshu Ling, who hastily entered the palace in the evening, said to the Son of Heaven.

I only know that on this night, Chang'an suddenly entered a wartime state, and the Son of Heaven urgently summoned the commander of the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an, At the same time, several light horsemen set off from the palace to summon the generals of the forbidden army who returned home to rest because they were not on duty to enter the palace.

The forbidden army guarding the palace city is stubborn, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, the precautions are extremely strict, all the city gates in Chang'an are closed, without the edict of the Son of Heaven, they are not allowed to open without permission, and the gates connecting the various markets in Chang'an are also quickly controlled by the forbidden army......

At that time, it was late at night, and because of Lu Chong's achievements in recent days, the various cities in Chang'an had not heard the sound of hustle and bustle for a long time.

The porter, who was guarding the outermost part, heard the strange movement, and when he went out through the side door with caution, he saw the forbidden army in armor wearing all the armor, wearing long knives at their waists, galloping through the street in front of the gate in a group.

The porter was uneasy, unsure of what was going on, and tentatively wanted to take a look down the street, but was scolded head-on: "What are you doing?!" ”

The soldier guarding this street not far away drew his sword out of his sheath and said sharply: "We will be ordered by the Son of Heaven to inspect all the cities in Chang'an, and you will immediately return to your own home, and there must be no mistake!" If there is a snooping outside, the whereabouts of the sneaky person will be killed! ”

When the porter heard this, he dared not stay anywhere, so he returned to the house with a smoke, closed the door, and hurried to the steward to reply.

……

Zhongshu made Liu Xuan sleep deeply, but was anxiously woken up by the steward outside the door: "Master, something happened, hurry up and take a look!" ”

Liu Xuan sat up in a daze, Mrs. Liu covered her mouth with her hands and yawned: "What's the matter?" ”

The steward's uneasy voice came from outside the door: "The entrance to and from Fang City is controlled, the forbidden army is wearing armor and patrolling Chang'an with torches in hand, and a few stunned people in the next house have to shout to go out, and they will be killed on the spot!" ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he was already sleepy, rubbed his face indiscriminately, got up and dressed in a hurry, and when he saw his old wife's hurried expression, he couldn't hide his uneasiness, and softened his expression again, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu's face softened a little, her palm covered the back of her husband's hand, and her voice was gentle and powerful: "Go ahead, I have everything at home." ”

Liu Xuan answered, and went to the front yard quickly, while Mrs. Liu ordered her confidants to accompany her to come over, and told them to pass the word to the children's courtyard in the backyard, telling them to stay in peace and not to move around at will, and she personally went to Mrs. Liu to guard.

Liu Xuan hurried all the way to the front yard, and asked people to open the door to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the whole street was blazing brightly, and the soldiers were going back and forth endlessly.

His heart suddenly struck, and he thought that something must have happened, but he seemed to be fine when he got off duty this afternoon, what the hell was going on?

What is the big thing that will make it to the point where it is now?

Liu Xuan ordered someone to take the official uniform and come over, and after dressing up neatly, he went out to interrogate in person.

The forbidden army guarding here knew his face, and his tone was a little polite: "We are under the order of the Son of Heaven to control all the key roads in Chang'an. ”

If there are too many, they will not say anything.
