The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Chu Mofeng was in Yizhou City, taking advantage of the reason that the people came to ask for the crime, and beheaded the officials involved in the name of the Qincha, and then personally urged the remaining local officials to deal with the aftermath.

With the raid of the Assassin's Mansion and the Garrison General's Mansion one after another, a large number of gold and silver jewelry, as well as a wealth and real estate deed, were collected from the inside, and Yizhou all scolded, and when he learned that Chu Mofeng wanted to realize all these for the benefit of the people and the repair and reconstruction of the house, Chu Mofeng seemed to be rumored to be a Buddha of ten thousand families in Yizhou.

At the same time that Chu Mofeng led the officials to deal with the aftermath, in the Yizhou City Inn, Zitong was chatting with a man with tears in his eyes, "Daddy, my daughter has figured it out, that person is a good person, and my daughter decided to follow him, hoping that Daddy will not stop me." ”

And it was Chu Mofeng who rescued the old man in the prison who was called by Zitong to be his father, "Good boy, it is a good thing to repay your kindness, you can rest assured that the old man of King Xian has distributed silver money to us poor people, and allocated fields, at least my livelihood will not be a problem in the future, since you have decided, you will do it according to your own wishes, and if you have time in the future, come back to see my father." ”

Hearing this, Zitong got up and knelt down in front of the old man and said, "My daughter is not filial, I can't wait for my father to be by my father's side, and I hope my father will forgive my daughter." Hearing Zitong's words, the old man was also sad in his heart, and in desperation, the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried.

It was night, in a mansion in Yizhou City, the dim candle flame could not reflect the faces of the people sitting in the house, an old man with a long beard sat on the top, and a thin man at the bottom arched his hand and said: "My lord, should we just let the man surnamed Chu point fingers here?"

"Otherwise, what do you want to do? Learn from the two fools Gou Datong and Hao Sijie, and hit someone else's knife edge?" the old man stroked his beard, and the dim candlelight still couldn't hide the old man's hideous face, "These two fools, knowing that the imperial court will send Qin down recently, don't know how to restrain it, what is the result? ”

"My lord, we might as well write a book and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to restrain him?" I saw another slightly burly figure get up and say, "My subordinates don't believe it, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't restrain him." ”

The old man glanced at the man angrily, "Did you become an official on the first day? Half of the entire Tang Dynasty was brought down by the King of Qin and he led people, not to mention the prince, even His Majesty sometimes tolerates three points to him, if it weren't for his foreign surname, maybe His Majesty would have made him the prince a long time ago, and this person is not greedy for merit, not dictatorship, does not accept bribes, and is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, do you think that if the prince is constrained by the above expression, can Your Majesty allow it?"

Then the old man sighed and said: "Now we can only try our best to cooperate with him, quickly complete the aftermath, and after he leaves, the official will write to the prince to explain the matter, and it will be a little later tonight, so let's disperse." ”

For several days in a row, after Chu Mofeng supervised the Yizhou officials to deal with the completed matters, he quietly left Yizhou with his troops at night, but not long after Chu Mofeng left, a light horse also left Yizhou, and a carrier pigeon in the sky was struggling to fly in the direction of the capital.

However, at this moment in the direction of the capital, Li Shimin ushered in the first most dangerous moment in his life, it was early spring, Li Yuan ordered to hold a spring festival in April, because the palace has not held a large-scale celebration since the New Year's Festival, everyone was overjoyed for a while.

On the day of the celebration, Li Yuan and the civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives had a banquet in the Liangyi Palace, looking at the relatives and ministers of His Royal Highness, Li Yuan looked around the decoration of the Liangyi Palace, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Everyone, my Datang can have today's glory, it is inseparable from you and the efforts of the soldiers. After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Seeing this, everyone got up and said, 'Thank you, Your Majesty', and then drank it all, and at this time, Wan Guifei on the side said softly: "Your Majesty, today is such a good time, the concubines dare to let your sisters, together with the princess and princess, come forward to toast Your Majesty, and at the same time ask Your Majesty to taste it?"

Because at the beginning of Li Yuan's longxing, because Li Zhiyun was not rescued, resulting in Li Zhiyun's tragic death, Li Yuan was very guilty of his mother Wan Guifei after registration, in view of the early death of his queen Dou, so Li Yuan ordered Wan Guifei as the master of the harem to deal with the harem affairs.

At this time, hearing Wan Guifei's proposal, Li Yuan happily agreed, "Anyway, I don't have much time to accompany them, and today is just the right time for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to help me comment." ”

Then from Wan Guifei below, starting with Concubine Yin De, she stepped forward to toast Li Yuan in turn, and then those who had children improvised a show of talent, so that Li Yuan and the Manchu Dynasty could evaluate the civil and military affairs, as the harem concubines appeared one after another, Li Yuan suddenly found that there seemed to be one less person in the crowd, and immediately pulled Wan Guifei and whispered: "Ai Concubine, why didn't I see Guo Jieyu's figure? Could it be that I can't be present because of illness?"

Seeing this, Concubine Wan hurriedly got up and walked to Xue Jieyu's side and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see Guo Jieyu here?"

I saw Xue Jieyu glance down at Li Yuan, who was seated, and gave a salute to Concubine Wan, "Concubine Qi, Sister Guo went to the Liangyi Hall before me today, and I arrived later, and I didn't see her until the banquet began, so I wanted to report to you after the banquet was over." ”

As soon as she heard that the person was lost, Concubine Wan's face changed, and then she turned to Li Yuan's side and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has asked Sister Xue, and sure enough, as Your Majesty expected, Sister Guo is not very good today, so she did not show up, this matter is the negligence of the concubine, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”

Hearing what Concubine Wan said, Li Yuan immediately smiled, held her hand and said, "Why should Concubine Ai blame herself, you are in charge of the harem affairs for me, and it is normal to be a little negligent, let's talk about it after the banquet is over." Then Li Yuan raised his glass and began to drink and feast with everyone, and the banquet did not end until the beginning of Shen.

After everyone left, Li Yuan got up and looked at Concubine Wan and said coldly, "Say, what happened?"

When Concubine Wan heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean to hide it from Your Majesty, but if she told the truth at that time, lest she would have aroused Your Majesty's interest, Sister Guo, she went to the Liangyi Hall first, but now she is gone, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive the concubine." ”

Li Yuan walked back and forth in the house a few steps when he heard this, and at this time, Wang De stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with the noble concubine, according to the old slave's opinion, you might as well send someone to look for it in the palace first, and it is not too late to talk about it when there is a result, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"

"Find, mobilize everyone in the palace to search, you must find it. Li Yuan nodded when he heard this, and then helped Wan Guifei up, "Concubine Ai doesn't have to blame herself, I also understand this matter, it is Guo Jieyu's own responsibility, and I hope Concubine Ai doesn't blame me for losing her temper." ”

"Your Majesty can say this, the concubine is very happy in her heart, how dare you blame Your Majesty, the concubine was entrusted by His Majesty to take care of the harem, and the concubine is also guilty of not noticing this matter. Wan Guifei shook her head slowly, got up and poured a cup of tea for Li Yuan, and then called her personal maid to ask for some advice, and sat down with Li Yuan again.

With Li Yuan's order, the entire Tang Imperial Palace was like a chicken flying and a dog jumping, whether it was the Imperial Garden or the various idle palaces, there were calls to find people everywhere, and at this time, in the Chengqian Palace, the eldest grandson Luo Luo listened to the voice outside the hall, and asked suspiciously: "What is this doing outside?

Li Shimin shook his head slowly when he heard this, and then a maid came in to report and said: "Your Royal Highness and Princess, I am looking for Guo Jieyu in the palace outside, I heard that Guo Jieyu was lost in the palace today." ”

At this moment, Li Shimin seemed to remember that he had seen a familiar figure outside the Liangyi Hall today, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this person should be Guo Jieyu, so he immediately got dressed and walked towards the outside of the hall.

When he came to the Chengqian Palace, it happened that Wang De was passing by the Chengqian Hall with someone, and Li Shimin hurriedly greeted Wang De when he saw this, "Princess, are you looking for Guo Jieyu so late?"

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of Qin has seen Guo Jieyu today?" Wang De hurriedly stopped and stepped forward when he heard this.

"Today, the king saw a figure outside the Liangyi Palace, it seemed to be Guo Jieyu, but the king was not sure. Li Shimin thought for a moment and said what he saw today.

Then Wang De didn't care about etiquette, and dragged Li Shimin towards the Liangyi Palace, and after coming to the Liangyi Palace, Wang De hurriedly said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, you can be regarded as finding some clues, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has seen Guo Jieyu today." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan hurriedly beckoned Li Shimin to come forward, and asked eagerly: "Erlang, have you seen Guo Jieyu today?"

"Qiqi father, when the son went out to pay tribute to the banquet today, he saw a figure at the door of the Liangyi Hall leading to the garden, it seemed to be Guo Jieyu, but the son was in pain in the house at that time, so he didn't care and left. Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes, "Wang De, send someone to look for it in the garden, and don't let go of an inch of land." ”

Hearing this, Wang De hurriedly led his little yellow door and a team of guards out, and about an hour later, Wang De walked in with an ugly expression, whispered a few words in Li Yuan's ear, and saw Li Yuan's face cold, and then nodded.

Then I saw a team of guards carrying a board covered with a white cloth and walked in, Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to uncover the white cloth and looked at it, and then a dizziness took a few steps back, Wang De saw this and hurriedly supported Li Yuan and said: "Your Majesty mourns, take care of the dragon body." ”

After stabilizing his body, Li Yuan shouted hoarsely: "Who is so bold as to commit murder in the palace, give me an investigation, a thorough investigation, I want to see which thing did it that doesn't know whether it is dead or alive, and the concubine who dares to kill me today will be killed on my head tomorrow?" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who rushed to inquire about it, also came forward at this moment, opened the white cloth and looked at it, only to see Guo Jieyu's face was bruised, her eyes were red, and her hands were clenched, as if she had grabbed something before she died.

"Father, who is so vicious?" Slowly covering the white cloth, Li Jiancheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and didn't speak, at this time, Guo Jieyu's personal maid was also called for questioning, only to see Wan Guifei's phoenix eyes angry, and she looked coldly at the maid in front of her called Zixuan, "This palace asks you, has your master behaved abnormally recently?"

The little maid had never seen such a big battle, and immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Qiqi Guifei Niangniang, the master has indeed been thinking about some tea and dinner recently, and the slave and maid don't dare to ask more. ”

"What about today, what are the abnormal behaviors today?" After listening to the words of the maid Zixuan, Wan Guifei seemed to have roughly guessed something, and was immediately slightly stunned, and then asked again.

"Back to the concubine Niangniang, today's master went out of Feng Yaxuan early, but the master left the slave maid in Feng Yaxuan, saying that he was going to see someone, and today's master is in a very good mood. Zi Xuan thought for a moment, and said everything she knew.

"Your Majesty, the problem now is that we must know the cause of Sister Guo's death, but the imperial doctors in the palace are all men, and the only few female doctors who serve the harem are worthy of a great responsibility. With a wave of her hand, she motioned for Zi Xuan to retreat, and Wan Guifei immediately knelt in front of Li Yuan and said her thoughts.

"Who? Therefore, this matter is an internal matter of the royal family, but no one in the royal family has this ability, and when he heard that Wan Guifei wanted to recommend others, Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart.

"The concubine recommended the concubine of the virtuous king, and Mo Ziyao, the holy hand of the apricot forest in the capital. Seeing that Concubine Wan said a name in a firm tone, Li Yuan smiled slightly when she heard this, "Oh, Ziyao's girl, yes, quickly send someone to use a sedan chair to access the palace." ”

Then Wang De personally led people to King Xian's mansion, knocked on the door and briefly recounted the matter, and then took Mo Ziyao to the palace, before leaving, Wang De whispered to Shi Hanshuang: "Princess Qiqi, the old slave suggested that this matter should be told to King Xian, lest it ......"

After Wang De left, Shi Hanshuang ordered everyone to go back to rest, and he came to Chu Mofeng's study, and after writing a note by hand, Shi Hanshuang went to the backyard and took out a carrier pigeon, put the note away, and threw it into the air, and then the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew towards the northeast.

Mo Ziyao followed Wang De to the palace, first after a salute, slowly walked to Guo Jieyu's corpse, uncovered the white cloth and began to observe it carefully, from time to time with a silver needle to test it, after a while, Mo Ziyao slowly covered the white cloth, stood up and gave a salute to Li Yuan and Wan Guifei, "Your Majesty and Concubine Guiniang, the cause of Guo Jieyu's death was because she was choked by someone and suffocated, at this time it was about the end of the unitary period, so Guo Jieyu's approximate time of death was three hours ago." In addition......" Speaking of this, Mo Ziyao was a little eager to say something, as if there was something unspeakable, Li Yuan immediately snorted coldly when he saw this, "Except for Wan Guifei and Wang De, the rest of the people will go back separately, if anyone talks nonsense in private, don't blame me for not being emotional." ”

Seeing that everyone had left, Mo Ziyao suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yuan and said, "Your Highness, what the concubines said later is a little too unbearable, and I hope Your Majesty and the concubines will not blame the concubines." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Girl Ziyao, if you have anything, you can tell the truth, Uncle Li will not blame you." As soon as she heard that Li Yuan had changed her name, Mo Ziyao gritted her teeth and saluted Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Fang Cai checked and found that Guo Jieyu was already a month pregnant. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people present were immediately taken aback, while Li Yuan looked at Mo Ziyao coldly and said, "Is this true?"

"The concubine's words are true, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come and confirm the pulse again. Seeing this, Mo Ziyao thought to herself, what kind of bad luck is this girl, such a bad thing on the stall, it is really a royal thing.

Who knew that Li Yuan shook his head slowly, and then said angrily: "I haven't been fortunate to Guo Jieyu for several months, it seems that someone is causing trouble in the palace, in this case, this matter must be investigated." ”

At this time, Mo Ziyao seemed to remember something, walked to the corpse, opened the white cloth and looked at it, stretched out his hand and gestured, and then forcefully broke Guo Jieyu's stiff hands, only to hear the sound of 'clanging', and an object fell to the ground from Guo Jieyu's left palm.

Mo Ziyao picked up the thing and took a look, only to see that it was a jade gourd with a delicate shape, and then Mo Ziyao presented the jade gourd to Li Yuan and said: "The concubine dared to guess that this thing should have been dragged from the murderer by Guo Jieyu before she died, but in the investigation of the case, the concubine thought that she was still a good hand in my family, and the concubine was ashamed of herself." ”

"Wang De, prepare a decree for me, and promote the minister Chu Mofeng to return to the capital quickly, there must be no mistake. Hearing Mo Ziyao's words, Li Yuan hurriedly gave an order to Wang De, and then squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying and said: "Ziyao girl, when Chu Xiaozi comes back, this matter will be handed over to you and your husband and wife, Uncle Li is a little tired today, and I will let someone send you back to the house later." After speaking, Li Yuan, with the support of Concubine Wan, slowly walked out of the Liangyi Palace.

When they walked to the door and found that Li Jiancheng and the others were still waiting outside the door, when they saw Li Yuan and Wan Guifei coming out, they all stepped forward and looked at the two of them with concern, who knew that Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin coldly and said, "Erlang, what about the jade gourd pendant I gave you a few years ago?"

Li Shimin hurriedly looked at his waist when he heard this, but he didn't see his jade gourd, and immediately said with a smile: "Father Qiqi, maybe when the son came to the banquet today, he took it off and forgot to bring it, and later the son returned to the Chengqian Palace to find it, and then presented it to the father to see if it was okay?"

I saw Li Yuan sigh and said slowly: "No need, come on, let me stay in custody of this rebel, and after King Xian returns to Beijing to find out the case, I will deal with him." ”

Li Yuan suddenly gave such an order without a head, and immediately baffled the people present, while Li Shimin asked with an innocent face: "Father, the son doesn't know what mistake he made, and the father wants to hand over the son to the forbidden army? ”

"You rebel, what do you look at?" Li Yuan raised the jade gourd pendant in his hand when he heard this, and said with a hideous face: "Why did your pendant appear in Guo Jieyu's hands, I don't want to hear you now, come on, bring this rebel down for me, I don't want to see him again." ”

After Li Shimin was taken away, Li Yuan angrily said to the rest of the people present: "Go back to my house, otherwise you will be arrested together." When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly dispersed.

Dingzhou, from the former Sui Boling County in Wude four years (621) to the Tang Dynasty after the restoration of Dingzhou, at first it governed 10 counties, set up the state governor to be stationed in Dingzhou, jurisdiction over 5 states: Dingzhou, Hengzhou, and Zhou, Quanzhou, Lianzhou.

In the sixth year of Wude (623), the Dingzhou Governor's Office was set up, stationed in Dingzhou, and governed by: Ding, Luo, Xiang, Ci, Li, Ji, Shen, Li, Cang, Qian, Wei, Bei, Jing, Bo, Zhao, Zong, Guan, Lian, Jing, Xing, Luan, De, Wei, Man, You, Yi, Yan, Ping, and Ying.

As an important political state capital, a group of officials in Dingzhou attached great importance to the arrival of Chu Mofeng, and the Qincha Guards had already arrived in Dingzhou, and Chu Mofeng, who had left Yizhou, also arrived in Dingzhou to join the Qincha Guards after driving for three days.

At this moment, he was stationed in the Qincha Xingyuan, Chu Mofeng looked at the pretty woman with a flushed face in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "I said Miss Zitong, are you chasing us all the way?"

"People didn't chase you all the way, but they also wanted to go around the capital, and seeing that your team was huge, they thought it would be safer to travel together. Embarrassed to admit that he was following, Zitong could only find another excuse.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyan on the side couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and pulled Zitong aside, and whispered: "It seems that the girl really misses our family, but since you are here, you have thought about following us back to the capital?"

"Non-smoking, we will not be able to return to Beijing for a long time, and it is really inconvenient to take a girl with us. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng couldn't bear to increase his debts in vain, so he had to stop him, "Besides, where do you let a girl's family live?"

"I said Brother Feng, you don't think that you let Zitong live in your room, do you? Qin Chaxingyuan is so big, can't you worry about the next person?" Gu Zhen'er, who walked into the house with a bunch of food, looked at Chu Mofeng and smiled cheaply, and then put the food on the table.

While everyone was chatting, they heard someone shouting outside the door: "His Royal Highness King Qiyuxian, the urgent documents for six hundred miles in the capital have arrived." ”

Suddenly there was a six-hundred-mile urgent document, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel a little surprised, it stands to reason that the imperial court should not know that he had arrived in Dingzhou at this time, only to see a post guard hurriedly walked in, knelt down to Chu Mofeng and said: "His Royal Highness King Qiyuxian, the imperial court has six hundred miles of urgent documents, and the villain came day and night, fortunately, there was no delay." ”

Chu Mofeng opened the envelope and took out the letterhead to take a closer look, immediately gasped, and then said to the post guard: "You can rest and go back, and this king will leave for Beijing immediately." ”

Hearing this, the post guard saluted Chu Mofeng, and then turned around and left under the leadership of the attendants, at this time Chu Mofeng handed the letter to Liu Feiyan and others to circulate, looking at the content of the letter, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Brother Chu, it stands to reason that there is a concubine in the palace, this matter should not be interfered by you and the princess, what does Your Majesty mean this time?"

"I don't know what Your Majesty's intention is to do this? Isn't it that Xiao Lizi has been implicated in this matter?" Just as Chu Mofeng was hesitating, I saw Xiao Ruolan hurriedly running in with a note, "Brother Chu, the flying pigeon in the Jingzhong Mansion is passing the book." ”

Chu Mofeng took the note and glanced at it, then frowned and sighed and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, Xiao Lizi is in trouble again this time, it seems that we can't eat this reception banquet tonight." ”

Then Chu Mofeng stood up and walked outside the house and shouted: "Tiance Army, the other side of the flower everyone listen to the order, give you half an hour to prepare, and set off to return to Chang'an after half an hour." ”

Hearing this, everyone collectively said 'oh', and then began to get busy, half an hour later, the team ready to go appeared at the gate of Qincha Xingyuan, Chu Mofeng looked at Zitong who was in the column, and said helplessly: "Because there is a big incident in Beijing, I need to rush back quickly, this road may be a little hard, you follow closely." ”

Zitong nodded when he heard this, Chu Mofeng told the Qincha guards to go on the road later, and then stretched out his hand and waved, and a group of people urged the horses under their crotches to drive in the direction of Chang'an......

As the saying goes, it is difficult to make a fake come true, and watch King Xian peel off the cocoon to find out the real murderer, and then watch Li Yuan's thunder and anger to raid the family and exterminate the clan, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
