Chapter 6: Night Talk
"...... the truth about Queen Yan's death?" Sima said leisurely.
"Yes, the truth. Sima Qianye paused and continued: "The world only knows that Queen Yan died of illness back then, but they don't know that there is actually another secret here. ”
"Could it be that Queen Yan didn't die of illness back then?" Sima Youran seemed to think of something, but he wasn't sure.
"That's right, Yan Ruxue didn't have any hidden diseases back then, how could she say that she died of illness. As soon as Sima Qianye remembered those things back then, he felt a flame burst out in his chest.
Sima Youran wanted to prove his inference and asked, "Could it be that Empress Yan's death was due to ...... The Queen Mother?"
"Yes, that's right. Sima Qianye nodded.
"Sure enough, ......" Sima muttered leisurely, it turned out that the death of Empress Yan was also done by the queen mother in the palace, thinking of what he saw and heard in the capital, many things made sense.
"Then father, why did you resign and retire to old age? Didn't you tell me that you were just tired of officialdom?" asked Sima leisurely
"I'll explain this matter to you later, now you only need to know one thing, the crown prince Li Huanyu's biggest enemy now is the queen mother, if you can't cross this hurdle, what awaits you is definitely a cruel consequence that you can't imagine, whether it's you or the prince, it's the same!" Sima Qianye said sternly.
Afterwards, Sima Qianye walked towards the house without looking back, and said as he walked: "Your room has been cleaned, rest early......
Sima leisurely looked at his father's departing back and said nothing.
......
......
At this time in the capital, Emperor Li Linming in the imperial study had just finished listening to the report of one of his Red Tiger Guards.
"After Sima Youran left Beijing, he was assassinated three times, all of which were resisted by the prince's soldiers, and the origin of the assassin is currently unknown. The spies of the State of Miao have infiltrated the capital, and the number of spies is unknown for the time being, but the Red Tiger Guard has mastered several dens of the secret agents of the State of Mi. ”
Emperor Ming knew about the prince's formation of private soldiers, because these private soldiers were formed with the prince after Sima Youran entered Beijing, and they had already made it clear to him, and Sima Youran's assassination was expected, as long as there was no life safety, after all, those prince soldiers were not vegetarians, if the prince soldiers couldn't stop it, wouldn't there be a red tiger guard hidden in the shadows.
Sima Youran left Beijing, and it was not only Sima Qianye who sent the Red Tiger Guard, but Emperor Ming also sent a pair of Red Tiger Guards to secretly protect Sima Youran's safety.
As for the secret agent of the Secret Country...... It's a nuisance.
Emperor Ming thought for a moment and said: "First order someone to secretly monitor the dens of the secret agents of the Mi Kingdom, and the identities of the people entering and leaving must all be investigated, so as not to startle the snake." ”
"If nothing else, step aside. ”
Seeing that Emperor Ming did not mention Sima Youran's assassination, the Red Tiger Wei did not say anything, and took the order and withdrew.
In fact, Emperor Ming is very curious now, Sima Youran was assassinated, and his unsuccessful son, the crown prince Li Huanyu, should have already gotten the news, but I don't know what his reaction is now.
Emperor Ming smiled and didn't think about it, he had more important things to worry about now than he was curious about Li Huanyu's reaction: Sima Qianye should have told Sima Youran the truth about that incident.
There are not many people who know the truth of that incident, and now let Sima Qianye tell Sima Youran, the main purpose is to use Sima Youran's mouth to convey the truth about the death of the crown prince and her mother. As for why Emperor Ming didn't tell Li Huanyu in person, but spent so much effort, and specially asked Sima to go back to Linjiang leisurely, of course, this is because Emperor Ming has a plan, otherwise there is no need to do so much useless work.
"Yu'er, I hope you can understand your father's good ......intentions," Emperor Ming muttered.
At this time, the voice of a eunuch sounded outside the imperial study: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Shuntian Guanguan Immortal Dao asks to see you." ”
Shuntian Temple, is a Taoist temple in the capital, legend has it that the first master of Shuntian Temple has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and later Shuntian Temple is dedicated to guarding the dragon vein for the royal town. This temple has been passed down for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many times it has changed dynasties, and it has continued to this day.
Although Emperor Ming is not superstitious, he also has great respect for the Taoist temple that has been inherited for a hundred years.
I saw a white-eyed Taoist man wearing a Taoist robe walk in. Came to Emperor Ming, bowed down and said, "Poor Dao Immortal, meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”
This is a rule that has been circulated since a certain dynasty very long ago: the Lord of Shuntian Guan Guan sees that the emperor does not need to bow three times and bow nine times, but does the Taoist bow. Can
"No courtesy, long body. Emperor Ming gently held up the immortal Dao elder who was bowing in front of him.
"Why did the Taoist come here today?" asked Emperor Ming.
The Immortal Dao Elder did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao suddenly had a sense in his heart when he was cultivating, and found that the dragon veins had changed, and after a careful inspection, Poor Dao found that the royal Imperial Dao dragon qi had shown signs of outflow. ”
"Emperor Dao Dragon Qi leaks?Why can this Imperial Dao Dragon Qi leak out?Where does this outflow go?" After all, Emperor Ming didn't believe in these gods and ghosts, so he felt that the words of the Immortal Dao Chief were a little inexplicable.
"The outflow of dragon qi from the Imperial Dao is rare in the history of Shuntianguan, and after the poor Dao noticed this matter, he had already come to His Majesty for the first time, so he had not found out the flow of the outflow of dragon qi for the time being. The Immortal Dao Elder replied again.
"That's okay, I also ask the Dao Master to find out the flow of this so-called Imperial Road Dragon Qi as soon as possible. I'm tired, if the Taoist chief is fine, please step down. Emperor Ming turned around and said, revealing a little impatience in his words.
And the Immortal Dao Elder also heard these little impatience, and bowed again: "The poor Dao will retire first." ”
Afterwards, the Immortal Daoist withdrew from the imperial study.
After the immortal Dao was gone, Emperor Ming turned around and shook his hand and said coldly:
"Hmph, what kind of imperial dragon qi outflow, it's just nonsense!"
