Those two head catchers of Jingzhao Mansion are probably the first time in their lives that they have encountered such a beauty difference.

In the Protector Temple, which I don't dare to set foot in on weekdays, I drank a pot of good tea and ate a delicious vegetarian meal, and I was easily sent out.

And Han Bing, the son of Zuo Xiang, who brought them here, also gave each of them a silver ticket of one hundred taels, laughing that it was their hard work.

But when they went back, they secretly took out the silver ticket and looked closely, and found that the word "internal salary" was still printed on the corner of it. With his knowledge, he naturally knew that this silver ticket came from the palace, and it must have been the salary of the Ouchi guards.

At this time, they recalled the gloomy face of Commander Zhu, and they could guess where the silver ticket came from.

Thinking about the fact that the son of the left prime minister, Han Bing, was able to scavenge these silver coins from the dignified guard commander, it was really some extraordinary means.

It seems that this trip to Jishi Temple, the son of the left prime minister has achieved his goal. And that Commander Zhu seems to have suffered a secret loss.

However, these things have nothing to do with them who listen to errands, and they are not supposed to take care of them at all. As the Ice Boy had hinted to them before parting, as long as they remember to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

After listening to the detailed report of the two heads who came back from the investigation of the case in Jishi Temple, Yin Duan Puqing of Jingzhao Mansion was naturally extremely satisfied.

The case was solved, although there was no credit from Jingzhao Mansion in this, because the two arresters who were nominally sent to investigate the case were sent out without even having a chance to look at the bodies of the deceased.

But in any case, Jingzhao Mansion has been actively cooperating from beginning to end, and no one will find fault with him Duan Mansion Yin for this in the future.

And the most important point is that this case was solved cleanly, and no one was implicated.

In this way, he Duan Puqing is equivalent to not offending anyone, and inside and out, he can be regarded as having a little friendship with the Zuo Xiang.

This kind of result is really unwanted!

As for whether this result is true or not, Duan Puqing, the old fox, still has some numbers in his heart.

At the same time, he also figured out that the reason why Han Bing forced him to send someone to Jishi Temple to investigate the case was not to use him to deal with Zheng Yong, but to give him, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin, a chance to show his face when he discovered the conspiracy of the northerners in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that this opportunity was finally snatched away by the guard commander Zhu Mo, but it also made the shrewd and experienced Duan Puqing see some subtleties from it.

I am afraid that Commander Zhu, who has always been loyal to the emperor, has now become the father and son of the left minister.

Based on this incident alone, it is enough to see the decisive change and skillful skills of Zuo Xiang's father and son, it seems that he Duan Puqing really did not choose the wrong person!

However, what Duan Puqing definitely didn't expect was that just when he was feeling very happy and proud, His Majesty the Emperor, who had heard the results of the investigation of the attack on Jishi Temple by Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards, was even more happy and proud than him.

In the emperor's view, most of the actions of the left minister's father and son were for self-preservation.

Presumably, they were still afraid of the monarch's imperial power, and they did not dare to openly offend him, His Majesty the Emperor, so they did not dare to directly reveal the identities of those Ouchi guards who broke into the temple.

In this way, it not only saved him, who had to bother to exonerate himself as the emperor, but also automatically sent a handle to him.

So soon, the emperor made a clear response to the attack on Jishi Temple.

First of all, he not only encouraged Zhu Mo, who dutifully went to the Jishi Temple to investigate the case and finally find out the true identity of the assassin, but also praised the Zhongyi Alliance members who had been conscientiously guarding the temple, and especially allowed them to evacuate the Jishi Temple on their own.

Next, the emperor issued another clear edict to Song Qingfeng, the commander of the forbidden army, ordering him to complete the deployment outside the Jishi Temple as soon as possible, and further search for any assassins who had escaped the net.

As for the father and son of the left minister, the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor is very intriguing.

On the one hand, he ordered to reward Han Bing, the son of Zuo Xiang, and rewarded him for his meritorious service in protecting Jishi Temple.

At the same time, the emperor was above the court and severely reprimanded the left prime minister for being cold. It is really a shame to charge him with the disadvantage of supervising the Privy Council, and he is unaware of the entry of a large number of northerners, so as to cause such a serious consequence as the attack on the Protector Temple!

Only then did the courtiers know that the attack on Jishi Temple, which had just been rumored to be in the uproar, was actually committed by a northerner spy.

Its purpose is to steal the Buddha relics of Master Confession and Master Huijue stored in the Temple of the Protector of the National Gods, so as to hit the national prestige of Dayu and make His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu lose face.

And this earth-shattering conspiracy was foiled by Han Bing, the son of Zuo Xiang, alone.

At that time, this cold ice boy was visiting Abbot Huinian in Jishi Temple, and suddenly saw a large number of masked masters breaking into the temple, obviously with bad intentions.

So this skilled young man angrily attacked, and after a tragic fight, he finally killed those northerners who pretended to be assassins.

It's just that the northerners are cunning and slippery, and the assassins they pretend to be are all in the costumes of the Dayu people, and their true identities cannot be found out for a while.

Fortunately, Lord Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards who rushed to the temple to investigate the case, was as careful as a hair, and found a weapon called an icebreaker among the blades left behind by those assassins.

Later, Song Qingfeng, the commander of the forbidden army who had fought with the northerners, further confirmed that this kind of icebreaker was a unique blade of the northerners.

From this, it can be completely determined that those assassins who attacked Jishi Temple at night were undoubtedly spies sent by the northerners.

Just when the government and the opposition of Dayu were scolding the despicable behavior of the northerners, the emperor ordered Zhu Mo to give generous condolences to the families of the slain guards.

In addition to the permanent pension issued by the imperial court, the emperor also specially ordered Zheng Yong to take out some more silver taels from the private treasury to make up for it.

As for the cause of death of those Ouchi guards, it was naturally killed by the northerners who wanted to impersonate their identities. And those northerner spies have been killed by the cold ice, and there is no way to ask where the bodies of those Ouchi guards are buried.

The families of the slain guards heard that the bodies of those northerners were cremated by the monks in Jishi Temple, but their relatives were nowhere to find their bones, and their hearts were extremely sad.

Fortunately, the bereavement allowance given by the imperial court is unusually generous, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort. As a result, while those family members were grateful for the emperor's sanctity, they also remembered their hatred on the heads of the northerners.

After the dust finally settled on this matter, the unwilling emperor discussed it with his henchman Zheng Yong for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that-

Although Han Bing is not a hermit, he is very likely to be a colleague of the real Prince of Ding, Haoxing Xiaoyu, who is known as Xiao Tianjue. And the purpose of his appearance in the capital this time is to help Haoxing Xiaoyu rebel and seize the throne.

After having this understanding, the emperor's mood became heavier and heavier.

If the matter involves the Yin people, His Majesty the Emperor can use all his strength without hesitation to openly attack the father and son of Zuo Xiang.

But now the opponent has been replaced by Prince Ding, Haoxing Xiaoyu, which has become very tricky.

Because everyone in Dayu knows that Haoxing Xiaoyu is the seventh brother of the emperor's mother, the commander of the northern army in the past, and has made great contributions to Dayu, so he was crowned Prince Ding by the emperor.

Not long ago, after a long illness, this Prince Ding was ordered to return to the court, and was highly valued by His Majesty the Emperor, and was given the title of Prince Regent.

How could such a loyal and brave prince, who was so much favored by the emperor, suddenly have the idea of rebellion? And where is the evidence to say that he is plotting rebellion?

This is the biggest problem that the emperor is currently facing!

In order to restrain the Prince Zhending, the emperor personally supported Li Jin, the hypothetical prince.

Although this move has played a role in balancing the military and civilian officials for a while, at this moment, the fake prince has become a chicken rib, so that when the emperor deals with the prince of Zhending, Haoxing Xiaoyu, he can't help but be restrained because of his namelessness.

Since it is not possible to publicly declare the intention of the Prince to rebel, then everything has to be done in secret.

But if you want to capture Haoxing Xiaoyu in secret, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass this level of cold ice.

This enemy, who has been standing against them on the bright side, Cold Ice, is extremely difficult to get rid of, so how can he capture Haoxing Xiaoyu, who doesn't know where to hide?

Just when the emperor was at a loss, Zheng Yong, who still knew his mind best, gave him an idea.

Since that fake prince Li Jin has become a chicken rib, why not completely abandon him here? You can first use him to lure the true prince Haoxing Xiaoyu into the bait, and finally get rid of the two true and false princes together, so as to never suffer in the future.

The emperor was really moved by Zheng Yong's words, and began to carefully plan with him how to use Li Jin as bait to force Haoxing Xiaoyu to appear.

At the same time, in another corner of the palace, Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards, was also cautiously starting his own net operation.

He secretly ordered his henchmen to secretly carry out a careful investigation among all the internal guards. Identify those who are likely to have defected to Zheng Yong one by one, and put them all under the close supervision of the guards and pro-army.
