Just after passing the bullock cart, King Lu was sitting upright with his eyes closed and concentrating. Suddenly, when the bullock cart stopped, his body couldn't help but slump. If it were any other prince, he might have become furious immediately, but he was calm and had a good temper. , asked: "But it's here?"
The coachman said: "Your Majesty, we haven't reached the door yet."
"What happened, Zhang Bing, come here and answer me." King Lu opened the curtain and called a guard.
The guard approached the carriage window and said to King Lu: "Your Majesty, someone just came out of Luo Mansion and took an ox cart. Looking at the sign of the ox cart, it seems that it is the car of Duke Dai, and it almost collided with us."
On behalf of the Duke?
King Lu was speechless after hearing this, with a complicated expression on his face. He waved his hand dejectedly: "Forget it, let's turn around and go back."
Prince? Zhang Bing looked at him in confusion: "Don't you want to meet Luo Pei's family?" "
"It's too late." King Lu took a deep breath and said, "Go back."
With that said, he lowered the car curtain.
Although several guards and the driver did not understand why King Lu changed his mind and had already arrived at the gate of Luo Mansion. In a moment, people from Luo Mansion would be seen. What did it mean to suddenly turn around and go back?
But the master said so, so he had no choice but to obey.
When the bullock cart turned around, King Lu stared out the window blankly and frowned: "Is my nephew lucky or too sharp?"
Su Ziji, who was so "lucky" by King Lu, was having a small meeting in Dai Guogong's mansion.
When Jian Qu came back in an ox cart, he learned that his lord was in the study, so he went straight to the study. There were government soldiers patrolling the door. When he saw it was him, he did not stop him.
"Lord, may I come in?" Jian Qu walked to the door of the study and asked.
There were not only the lord's voice inside, but also the voices of his colleagues. When he heard the inquiry, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Jian Qu pushed open the door and went in. He found his lord Su Ziji leaning his head with one hand and frowning at the information on the desk.
Cen Rubai acted as the "narrator" and explained the information. The wild Taoist was not here. Jian Qu bowed to Su Ziji and sat down. After listening for a few times, he understood what was going on. This was Cen Rubai talking about investigating the capital. Brahma gate information.
This kind of thing is usually handled by wild Taoists, or the investigation of the Brahma sect is somewhat different. Cen Rubai once worked under Lin Yuqing's sect, and Lin Yuqing had contacts with the monks of Qingyuan Temple. This matter was left to Cen Rubai to handle. Indeed Easier.
When he came in, he heard Cen Rubai saying: "...There is not much information now. Qingyuan Temple has not opened its gate recently and has not received pilgrims. It is not easy to sneak into it to inquire about the situation. People who have contact with Qingyuan Temple are also Most of them reduce social interactions. From this point of view, abnormality is a demon, or Qingyuan Temple is low-key and dormant, which also indicates that something will happen."
"I feel that the matter of keeping an eye on Qingyuan Temple needs to be considered in the long term. After a little more time, we will definitely find clues..."
Su Ziji nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you to continue investigating the Brahma Sect."
As he said that, he glanced at Jian Qu.
Jian Qu hurriedly talked about his trip to Luo Mansion just now, and also mentioned that he saw the ox cart of Prince Lu Mansion when he went out.
"King Lu..." Su Ziji listened and just nodded: "I understand."
Even if Jian Qu mentioned that Mrs. Luo Pei, Mrs. Mo, asked her eldest son to join the Duke Dai's government, Su Ziji could not raise his eyelids and show surprise, but was a little absent-minded.
"My lord, what's going on? Do you not think there is anything to be happy about, or do you already know that this will be the result, so you are not surprised?" Jian Qu was a little surprised and thought to himself.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ziji started talking about the Yulin Guards: "Most of the thousands of households in the Yulin Guards are still unwilling to be honest and obedient, and they are constantly making small moves in secret. All you have to do is stare and see them. Who are they all contacting? If they have done anything and have something to do, report it to me quickly. As for those neutrals who have not taken refuge with others, you can search for their preferences and weaknesses..."
"Yes! I will definitely work hard to handle this matter!" The two of them responded almost at the same time, cheering up. In their eyes, this is the most important thing.
"Go and do your work seriously. The future of the Daiguo Palace depends on you."
Su Ziji looked serious and called out the names of several people. They were all households that he had focused on after taking office. These people were the key people to be watched, so that they could be easily captured or "taken down".
After receiving the task, the two went out happily.
Su Ziji sat with her chin in her hands, thinking about what Cen Rubai reported, and smiled.
"The whole government mobilized, conducted serious investigations, and wooed hundreds of thousands of households one by one, as if they were trying hard to win over the Yulin Guards. No matter who is watching, no one can see any flaws."
Of course there are no flaws, because Cen Rubai, Jian Qu, and even Ye Buhui and the Queen are trying their best.
"No one would have thought that my focus was not here, or that I even created the situation intentionally."
"That said, if I had been quick and decisive and quickly taken control of the Yulin Guards, I'm afraid that both the emperor and the kings would have bayonetted me, instead of having room to do so now."
"The power belongs to myself. When the spirit tide comes, I must take the lead."
"I asked Cen Rubai and Lu Fengyun to divide their forces into two groups, one to investigate openly and the other to investigate secretly. The explicit investigation is just for outsiders to see, while Lu Fengyun investigates secretly. That is what I really want. If the so-called layman Zhou is really mine. The enemy, this person... no, I will decide the fate of this monster!"
"It's just that I know very little about how powerful Qingyuan Temple is. I hope Lu Fengyun can give me an explanation when he comes back."
Su Ziji stared out the window, took a deep breath, spread out a piece of rice paper, and when he calmed down, poured some water on the inkstone and slowly ground it with an ink stick.
The ink is getting thicker, and my mind is full. I pick up a soft brush and lick the ink, then draw with the pen, and it is completed in an instant.
This picture looks like just a landscape, but when a Taoist monk looks at it, he is afraid that everyone with some cultivation will feel differently when he sees it.
Liu Zhan is here, and he may be even more surprised when he sees this picture with his own eyes, because this picture is vaguely similar to the true picture of the heart of a direct disciple of the Yin Guan sect, but upon closer inspection, there are differences.
After watching it for a moment, Su Ziji waved his hand and a bunch of flames appeared, burning the picture. After watching it turn into ashes, Su Ziji opened the window and let the fresh air sweep away the smoke in the house.
"There's still something missing." Su Ziji thought to himself before sitting down again, when a familiar sound of footsteps came.
"Lord?" The visitor asked softly at the door.
Hearing the voice of a wild Taoist, Su Ziji said calmly: "Mr. Lu, please come in."
"Lord, I found out some of the things you asked me to investigate." The wild Taoist came in. Seeing that there was no one else in the study, he took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is the situation of the Brahma Gate in the capital."
"How much do you know about the Brahma Sect?" Su Ziji just unfolded it and looked at it, then put it aside and looked at the wild Taoist.
The wild Taoist's face, which had become younger due to the nourishment of the past two years, showed a trace of contemplation: "The Brahma Sect was introduced during the previous Wei Dynasty, but it was not allowed to expand..."
He shook his head again and denied what he said.
"No, it doesn't necessarily mean that it cannot be expanded. The principles are still mysterious and the arguments are proficient. It can convince many common people and scholars, but the higher the upper class, the fewer the believers."
