In the tenth year of Qing'an in the Dachang Dynasty, in the first year of Tianhe in the Tang Dynasty, three years after the Zulong Emperor was proclaimed emperor in the seventh year of Qing'an, Tang King Li Chengyun chose to be the emperor.

Eleven countries, two emperors.

Compared with the last Moon God Order and the entrance test, this time Wangshulou, which was far away in the west, did not make any movement.

Many people speculate that it is the general trend, and many more joke that it is because the distance from west to east is too far to pretend that you can't hear it.

The matter of being called emperor has been the trend of the times since Emperor Zulong, so for the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, the world only occasionally chats in his spare time, so as not to push it to the cusp.

In the capital of the Dachang Dynasty, before the onset of autumn, another event accompanied by the afterglow of summer detonated the city.

Nowadays, the busiest work in this city is the large and small medical halls on the streets, which are often taken away by some housekeepers and then in a hurry.

Where to go?

Before he went, he couldn't even tell for sure, he only knew that he was going to the big and small official mansions.

Look, it's not that there is any plague in the city, and it is not that any official or master has any strange disease.

No one knows what happened, and the doctors who went to see a doctor lived in people's mansions honestly and deliciously, but they needed to be on call, and ordinary people naturally couldn't hear the slightest rumor.

And before this incident, according to the recollection of the residents of the city, it seems that a fast horse entered the city this morning.

Back this morning, outside the palace gate, a middle-aged man wearing armor, got off his horse, handed over the spear in his hand to the guards at the palace gate, and then entered the palace under the guidance of a father-in-law.

In the main hall, before the early dynasty, to the surprise of His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Li Si, that incident could really not leak the slightest rumor.

For nearly a month, except for someone who noticed what seemed to be happening this morning, it was as if it was really only these few people in the capital.

The emperor glanced at the eldest prince standing under His Royal Highness, yawned and said, "Big brother came early today." ”

The eldest prince Chunqiu bowed his head and said, "If you don't want to sleep, you will come early." ”

When the two were talking, the middle-aged man had already walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and bowed above the dragon chair: "He'an County Supervisor Yu Shi Wang recruits troops, and knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

His Majesty the Emperor spoke: "General Wang, please get up quickly." ”

Wang Zhaojun stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." It wasn't until he got up that he bowed to the eldest prince and said, "I've seen the eldest prince." ”

The eldest prince nodded slightly and saluted him in return.

His Majesty the Emperor had a solemn face and said in a deep voice: "I have already received a letter about that matter, I wonder how many people have returned to the capital with the general Wang this time?"

Wang Zhaojun replied calmly: "There are only three people. ”

The emperor was shocked, "There are only three of them, what about the rest?"

Wang Zhaojun is worthy of being a military general, and he spoke unabashedly, "The rest of the people are either dead, or they are frightened and stay in He'an County and are unwilling to go on the road." ”

Then he handed out a letter from his bosom, handed it to his father-in-law beside him, and said, "The list is all on here." ”

The father-in-law took it with both hands, and then presented it.

The emperor opened the letter and looked at it, and there were only two lists of black and red cases on the white paper.

Gently folded it up, and said: "Inform the hundred officials, let's drop out of the dynasty today." The list on this is copied down on red and black paper, divided into two groups and sent to the ministers' palaces. Then he put his hand on his forehead and sighed softly: "I am an official, and I must not lose my posture in the palace." ”

My father-in-law took the letter with both hands, bowed his head and said yes.

If it was an ordinary official, he would definitely praise His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom when he saw this, but this military general did not rely on sycophancy, so Wang Zhaojun did not say anything.

After a while, the emperor came back to his senses, put down his hand, looked at Wang Zhaojun, who was still standing under His Royal Highness, and asked, "Those three, who are they?"

"Choi Sang-gong, the son of Dr. Goshi, and his coachman, and a teenager who is not in the convoy. ”

The emperor was instantly interested and asked, "If you are not in the convoy, then why are you accompanying the convoy all the way?"

"The boy was also assassinated. ”

The Emperor frowned and asked, "But the assassin mistakenly thought it was someone in the convoy?"

Wang Zhaojun replied calmly: "At the time of the assassination, only Cui Xianggong was with the young man, so the minister is not clear. ”

The emperor nodded, and suddenly remembered something again, looked Wang Zhaojun up and down, and then said, "The king will take the lead and go to rest, and I will have a good discussion with you about this matter later." ”

Wang Zhaojun bowed and said, "Yes!" and then turned to leave.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the back and said to himself, "Who should be responsible for the investigation?"

His actions are equivalent to determining that this Wang Zhaojun will investigate, but the investigation of the case by Wufu is not rigorous enough.

As if seeing his thoughts, the eldest prince Chunqiu took a step forward and said: "According to Yichen, since there is an outsider, it is better to let him assist Wang Zhaojun to investigate this matter, and Your Majesty will also be idle." ”

The emperor looked at the other party with interest, nodded slightly, and said, "Big brother's plan is very clever, and it is indeed the most appropriate for this person to investigate." ”

Not only did the two of them think so, but even the people of the entire capital would probably think so.

A teenager who was implicated in the assassination but survived naturally wanted to know who was going to kill him, and outsiders would not be affected by the situation in the capital.

No matter how you look at it, that boy is indeed the best candidate.

The eldest prince nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

The emperor got up from the dragon chair, then walked to the stage, came to the other party, and said softly with a hint of a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth: "Chunqiu, Chunqiu, don't think I don't know what you have in mind. ”

The eldest prince also smiled and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about?"

The emperor smiled dumbly, put his hands behind his back, laughed and walked out of the hall, and sighed: "Unlucky, unlucky. ”

There was a lot of commotion in the city, but these things didn't seem to have anything to do with the Spirit Academy.

In his sleep, the dean suddenly heard something noisy under the eaves outside the door, got out of bed and pushed open the door, then looked up, smiled and nodded slightly.

Looking up at the originally empty nest, he sighed, "You're finally back." ”

And today, the girl in red got up a little early, yawned and stood outside the courtyard gate, about to knock on the door.

The dean turned his head, naturally discovered her existence, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

The girl in red nodded, raised a finger, scratched her cheek slightly, and replied, "I want to go out and have a look." ”

The dean laughed twice, sighed softly, looked at the girl in red, and then at the nest under the eaves above his head, through a fenced courtyard gate, and said softly: "I want to go out and have a look, but can I come back?"

The girl in red pursed her lips and thought for a while, then replied, "I should be back." ”

The dean's face dissipated, and he looked at the other party's red clothes as if he was a little worried, and after a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Then go out for a walk." ”

The girl nodded.

The dean looked up at the sky, sighed, looked at the girl and said, "When you come back from this trip, I will take you to eat the best braised pork in the world." ”

The girl in red suddenly smacked a few times towards the ground, opened her big eyes and said seriously: "This is unlucky!"

The dean couldn't help but laugh twice, but he didn't hold back, and waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

The girl in red yawned and turned to leave, suddenly thought of something, turned to look at the old man and said, "My name is Huaxia." The bloom of spring, the summer of summer. ”

The dean looked at the girl and smiled, but said nothing.

After he left, he raised a hand, as if he wanted to touch the sun in the sky, and muttered to himself: "Huaxia, good name." ”

It was still early, and there were no students coming to class at the entrance of the Spirit Academy, but there was a middle-aged gentleman standing quietly there.

The girl in red walked out of the courtyard.

The middle-aged gentleman turned around, looked at the other party and smiled and said, "The girl is leaving." ”

The girl in red named Huaxia pursed her lips and said, "I thought it was Xiao Liuzi." ”

This middle-aged gentleman is naturally Ju An, Ju An couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said helplessly: "Xiao Jiu was punished and confined by the teacher, so he couldn't come to send the girl." ”

The girl yawned, waved her hand casually, walked forward and said with a big grin, "Nothing." I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you. ”

Ju An looked at the girl who thought she was going to be the sister of herself and Yang Hejiu, and said, "When you come back from this trip, I will continue to talk to you about the unfinished lesson." ”

The girl in red scratched her head, turned around and looked at the other party angrily and said loudly: "This is unlucky!"

Ju An was slightly stunned, as if he was thinking about what was unlucky in that sentence, but when he saw the other party's puffing appearance, he hurriedly smiled and apologized.

After seeing that the other party was a little better, he didn't ask anything, and he didn't keep it, but just persuaded him: "The teacher is a little worried, so let me remind the girl, Chang'an City and Wangshu Tower..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl raised a hand and stretched it high, shook it gently, and said, "Don't go, don't go, you know, you know." ”

Then he seemed to think of something, turned around and leaned next to Ju An, looked around carefully, and asked something a little mysteriously.

Only then did he leave with a sense of understanding or not understanding.

Mr. Ju An looked at the other party's departing back and shook his head slightly.

When he returned to the Spirit Academy, he found that the dean was still looking at the nest, but he was holding a handful of rice grains in his left hand, and occasionally pinched one in his right hand and threw it into the air.

The dean had a lot of fun.

Ju An pushed open the courtyard door, stepped forward and saluted, "Teacher." ”

The dean threw out the last grain of rice, clapped his hands lightly with satisfaction, and asked, "Sent away?"

Ju An nodded yes.

Then he said with some words: "That girl asked me a question before leaving. ”

The dean was curious, "What's the problem?"

Ju An smiled bitterly and replied: "That girl asked me, saying that the teacher doesn't have a granddaughter or niece or anything..."

But it's not, whether it is Yang Hejiu or Ju An, or even the girl in red herself, through the attitude of the dean, they all think like this, and it is not surprising why the girl would ask like this.

The dean's face twitched violently at first, and then he stroked his beard and smiled happily: "It seems that this girl was afraid that I would be bored alone before leaving." ”

The dean's words changed sharply and asked, "How did you answer?"

Ju An replied: "Answer truthfully, no." ”

The dean pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "This is called answering truthfully?

Ju An smiled slightly, but did not refute, only thinking that his teacher really regarded that girl as his niece.

The dean didn't pay attention to him, but put his hands behind his back and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, muttering as he walked: "Xiao Jiu went out to learn a lot of nonsense, why do you also learn to lie, the teacher is unlucky, it's really the teacher's misfortune..."

Ju An smiled bitterly, looked at the back of the teacher's departure, remembered that he hadn't had breakfast yet, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the teacher going?"

The dean whistled, and the swallow under the eaves landed on his shoulder, and the dean replied, "Go around the city and take a walk." ”

Ju An said again: "Teacher, why don't you go after breakfast?"

The dean didn't stop, but replied casually: "The sky is covered, the ground is paved, and a mere breakfast is also..." touched his sleeve, but suddenly found that he didn't seem to have any money, the corners of his mouth were bitter, but he refused to swallow the second half of the sentence back into his stomach, and said fiercely: "Can you still starve Lao Tzu to death?"

The previous sentence is unusually chic and happy, and the second half of the sentence is hungry and starving.

Ju An smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything more, in this capital city, it is not a wilderness, how can people starve to death?
