Chapter 13: Turning the Face
Tai Chi Temple.
After Yuan Tiangang separated from Lin Ziming and Zuo Youxian this time, he was immediately summoned to the Taiji Hall by Wu Meiniang.
"I don't know what the Lord is talking about?" asked Yuan Tiangang.
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "I heard that you and Zuo Yuan have fought and had a discussion. ”
"Does the Lord have any questions?" Yuan Tiangang wondered.
He didn't know what Wu Meiniang meant by asking this, and he felt that she was very unhappy that she sent someone to monitor his every move.
"I heard that this person has a close relationship with my master in Zuihuayin, and after a secret investigation, this person's name Zuo Yuan is actually a pseudonym, and his real name is Lin Ziming, who is often talked about in the mouth of his master. Wu Meiniang's tone suddenly became cold.
Yuan Tiangang already knew the details of Lin Ziming, but he couldn't guess what Wu Meiniang did.
"But there is such a thing. Yuan Tiangang saw that she knew all this, and replied abruptly.
"I understand the thoughts of the national teacher. Wu Meiniang walked up to Yuan Tiangang and said slowly: "However, he once harbored dragon energy, and staying in this imperial city for a long time will definitely affect His Majesty's luck." ”
"What does the Lord mean?" Yuan Tiangang asked, waiting for Wu Meiniang's final decision.
"Find an excuse to drive them out of Kyoto and then kill them. ”
Yuan Tiangang nodded and slowly retreated.
On the other side, after Lin Ziming said goodbye to Yuan Tiangang, he did not return to the drunken flower yin with Zuo Youxian, but came to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty has seen Your Majesty. ”
"Zuo Aiqing, you're here. Li Zhi saw that Lin Ziming was coming, and immediately pulled him to his side.
Lin Ziming sat aside and asked, "Why did Your Majesty let your ministers go down to monitor the people in the rivers and lakes?"
The Han and Tang Empires had already opened the military restriction order, so Lin Ziming felt that the rivers and lakes could be allowed to develop if they were right or wrong, or if they did not intend to harm the people.
"The meaning of supervision is to consolidate the country and secure the country. Li Zhi said simply.
Lin Ziming has no objections, but since Li Zhi wants him to supervise the rivers and lakes, once such a hat is buttoned down, once it is exposed, it will undoubtedly offend countless people.
"Although what Your Majesty said is subtle, your subordinates have a plan to better meet this requirement. Lin Ziming replied.
"Oh?" Li Zhi was curious and asked, "You might as well talk about it." ”
"Your Majesty wants a department to supervise the rivers and lakes, just because he is afraid that someone will rebel, but if these people have rebellion, they must have close ties with some forces in the imperial court. Lin Ziming said: "Therefore, my subordinates think that it is better to supervise the rivers and lakes than to supervise the hundred officials. ”
"Supervising the hundred officials?" Li Zhi immediately linked this matter to the six doors, and the imperial court supervision function is generally concurrent, and replied: "Isn't there six doors in this matter?"
"The six doors have always been mainly for criminal cases, and the supervision is very weak, and it can often be solved only after the incident, if Your Majesty can separate the supervision functions and powers in the hands of the six doors and set up a new department, it will undoubtedly let the hundred officials dispel all kinds of bad ideas. Lin Ziming said.
"It's according to Aiqing's meaning. Li Zhi nodded and said, "And since this matter is mentioned by you, I will leave it to you to handle it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Ziming said.
Li Zhi said again: "If you need people, you can go to the forbidden army outside the city to select some, and you can quickly establish this new department." ”
When Lin Ziming heard this, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Aiqing, can you think of a name?"
"Jin Yiwei. ”
"Jin Yiwei?" Li Zhi read it in his mouth, and felt that the name was good, so he readily agreed.
Lin Ziming didn't know that Wu Meiniang had already killed him, although he wouldn't do it on the surface, but as he said, just find an excuse to expel Lin Ziming from Chang'an Mansion, and it was time to do it.
Not long after Lin Ziming left, Wu Meiniang came to the Daming Palace and met Li Zhi.
"Mei Niang, why are you here?"
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "I saw that Your Majesty was very tired these days, so I ordered the imperial dining room to stew some chicken soup. ”
Li Zhi took a look, and the maid behind Wu Meiniang was really holding it in her hand, and then Wu Meiniang took it, opened it and saw that the chicken soup inside was fragrant.
"Mei Niang has a heart. Li Zhi said.
While drinking chicken soup, Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang and seemed to have something, so he asked, "Does Meiniang have something to discuss with me?" ”
"It's just a small thing. Wu Meiniang smiled: "Your Majesty drank the chicken soup first, and it's not too late to talk." ”
"How's that going to work? ”
Li Zhi put down the chicken soup and asked Wu Meiniang, "If there is anything, just say it directly." ”
Wu Meiniang didn't say it directly, but just took out a copy of the recital that had been prepared before and handed it to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi saw that Wu Meiniang was so solemn, so he opened it and took a look, not wanting to look at his face more and more unstable.
"This Zuo Yuan is really a wolf's ambition, I didn't expect him to be Li Chengqian's person, and he wanted to take this opportunity to control the forbidden army. Li Zhi was furious and immediately sent someone to the barracks quickly to prevent this from happening.
Li Zhi's doubts in this are also normal, there are many generals in the forbidden army who support Li Chengqian, if it is really as he said, I am afraid that something bad will happen.
Lin Ziming had just left Chang'an Mansion and was about to go to the forbidden army camp, not wanting Zuo Youxian to appear.
"Ziming, come with me. Zuo Youxian pulled Lin Ziming and dodged into the woods next to him.
Lin Ziming looked at Zuo Youxian and asked, "Master, why are you here?" ”
"Yuan Tiangang asked someone to say that Wu Meiniang wanted to harm you. Zuo Youxian looked anxious, very nervous.
"She's really bothered. When Lin Ziming heard this, he smiled suddenly.
Now that this has happened, the Forbidden Army can't go if they want to.
Drunken Huayin is afraid that she can't go, Wu Meiniang is so scheming, she does not show anything, and wants to kill him.
"Ziming, since this happened, the imperial court will definitely hunt you down, so you better leave Kyoto as soon as possible. "Zuo You Immortal Road.
"Yes. Lin Ziming said: "But not now." ”
"Do you still want to stay in Chang'an Mansion?" Zuo Youxian was puzzled and said, "It's so dangerous, you better be careful." ”
"I will. Lin Ziming nodded.
"By the way, if you are in trouble on this trip, you can go to Luomei Villa to find Wang Chengxi, he has been operating in Chang'an for decades, and he has his own way to help you. "Zuo You Immortal Road.
After speaking, Zuo Youxian quickly left.
Lin Ziming secretly observed, and after a while, a large number of people and horses went out of the city, asked about Lin Ziming, and then headed towards the forbidden army camp.
"Wu Meiniang did this, what is it for!" Lin Ziming thought in his heart.
The sky gradually darkened, Lin Ziming put away the innocent mask, revealed his true face, and entered the city again.
Prison.
Lin Ziming came to the prison, looked at the heavily guarded, walked close to it in a hurry, and handed the commander token of the Royal Forest Military Academy to the guards.
"The emperor ordered me to come secretly and interrogate the leader of the Djinn Gang. ”
The guards didn't see the holy decree, and they generally didn't dare to believe it, but the person in front ......of him was the commander of the Imperial Forest Academy, and he didn't dare to offend.
Lin Ziming still entered the heavenly prison and came to the cell of the leader of the Djinn Gang.
"Open. ”
"Yes. ”
After the cell door opened, Lin Ziming asked the jailer to retreat.
The leader of the Djinn Gang looked like a scholar, but there was an extra scar on his face, which was very conspicuous.
When he saw Lin Ziming coming in, he immediately roared: "You dog officials, each of you must not die well." ”
"Don't get excited. Lin Ziming said softly.
The Djinn gang leader has his hands and feet fixed with chains, and even if he wants to kill himself, it is impossible to kill himself.
"She made me here. Lin Ziming said.
"I don't know what you mean. ”
"Oh, you're faithful. Lin Ziming said: "Mingkong asked me to come over and explain one thing to you." ”
The leader of the Djinn Gang was finally moved, and replied in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"It's your death. Lin Ziming Lingyuan snapped out his fingers, and a poison entered the mouth of the Giant Spirit Gang leader.
When he was dying, the leader of the Djinn Gang spit out an object from his mouth and said: "This key is the key to opening all the things of my Djinn Gang, and I didn't have time to hide it when I was caught, and now that I am dead, you take it out for me, otherwise they will find out." ”
Lin Ziming put away the key, and without waiting for the jailer to come, he walked out of the prison quickly.
