Nie Lingshan and Zhu Xiaozhu looked at each other, and then Zhu Xiaozhu asked: "Whatever do they ask us to do?"
Nie Lingshan: "How about we split up and chase them separately? You go after the six older ones, and I'll go after the younger one."
Zhu Xiaozhu replied: "Give me your sister."
Then he turned around and chased after Li Huohou. Nie Lingshan looked back and glanced at the direction where the six strong men disappeared. He thought to himself where these guys came from. Such a tough figure had never been seen before. Where is it hidden in Geling City?
He shouted behind Zhu Xiaozhu: "Stay alive."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "It depends on the situation..."
Before he finished speaking, several sword lights lit up in front of him, like several lightning bolts suddenly falling in the night sky.
Li Huohou, who was originally very fast and powerful, fell straight from the sky five times after these sword lights appeared.
Five times, because all his limbs were broken after the sword light passed by.
Zhu Xiaozhu just said, "It depends on the situation." After he stopped, he looked at the guy with only one pole left, and sighed: "It looks like the situation is not good."
He leaned over to stop the bleeding of Li Huohou, but Li Huohou forced himself to bite his collar. When Zhu Xiaozhu saw it, it was too late to stop him. Not long after the guy bit the collar, his eyes rolled up and started to start in his mouth. There was black blood spilled.
"Who the hell are these people!"
Zhu Xiaozhu cursed angrily.
The people I met these days seemed to be extremely fierce guys. Not only did they not take other people's lives seriously, they also didn't take their own lives seriously.
"This thing..."
Nie Lingshan followed up, looked at Li Huohou who had only one pole left, and said to himself: "It didn't look like this just now. It seems longer than now."
Zhu Xiaozhu immediately glared at him.
This matter spread to Zhenyuan Palace not long after. When Gu Xiujin informed the emperor of the news, Gu Xiujin thought that the emperor would be angry and thought about how to persuade him, but he found that the emperor had heard the news. Instead of being angry, he started laughing.
"Early tomorrow morning, let people stare at the gates on the north side of Diange Ling City."
After the emperor finished his instructions, he waved his hand: "There is no need to report any more news tonight."
Gu Xiujinxin said what does this mean?
As a result, early the next morning, not long after the city gate opened, news came.
It was said that they saw six extremely tall and majestic guys lining up to leave Geling City and go north, attracting countless people to watch.
Along with these strong men, there were more than a dozen carriages leaving, all of which had Dafu's commercial flags on them.
When the news reached Zhenyuan Palace, the emperor had just returned from the morning court and was drinking a bowl of japonica rice porridge.
"How did the saint expect them to leave?"
"It's not what I expected. This is what Lin Ye wants to show me. No matter what the cause of this incident is, the end result will be that his men leave Geling."
After the emperor said this, he seemed to be in a better mood.
Gu Xiujin is a smart man, a smarter man than most people.
He stood there and pondered for a while, and then quickly sorted out the meanings of these recent events.
This incident did not start with the news from the Yushitai that Lin Ye might bribe officials in Geling.
But it started when the emperor asked Gu Xiujin to go to the Nushan camp and tell Lin Ye that the emperor didn't like Chen Weiwei.
Although he didn't say it clearly, the emperor's intention was to let Lin Ye kill Chen Weiwei himself, and when he turned around, the emperor told Mr. Xin about it. The intention was obvious, that is, to let Mr. Xin stop it.
What did the emperor understand through this operation that others could not understand?
He understood that in the short time since Lin Ye came to Geling, he had already developed the prototype of an intelligence system. Otherwise, even if Chen Weiwei left with great fanfare, Lin Ye would not have been able to stop Chen Weiwei so quickly.
Seeing clearly the cause of this matter is to stop it, not to catch up.
From the moment Lin Ye received the order to arriving at the county seat one step ahead to wait for Chen Weiwei's arrival, there must have been a large number of people gathering information for Lin Ye.
Immediately afterwards, someone sent an anonymous letter to Yushitai, which listed what Lin Ye had done in Geling City.
Because of this incident, that inconspicuous great blessing had to appear in front of many people, and it went from being inconspicuous to being noticed.
What Gu Xiujin figured out was that His Majesty hit Lin Ye twice in this way to make Lin Ye understand that he had to do his duty in Geling City.
Lin Ye was still at the Nushan camp, but Lin Ye probably understood this when he intercepted Chen Weiwei, which is why Dafuzao's people left Geling City early this morning.
Otherwise, there would be no time at all. In other words, Lin Ye seemed not to move, but in fact he had made arrangements in advance.
The people below reported the news that a few strong men tore the fake Lingshan slave alive last night. This was of course Lin Ye's attitude.
He told your majesty clearly that I had indeed arranged for people to enter Geling. If your majesty wanted to see it, I would show it to him. After your majesty finished reading it, I would take it out to Geling city.
Gu Xiujin thought, His Majesty always said that he was smart, but he was smart because he was by His Majesty's side. When he didn't understand, His Majesty would remind him. After following His Majesty for so long, if he couldn't learn anything anymore Something, that's really impossible.
But after reviewing recent events, he discovered that if he had not been with His Majesty and had been replaced by General Lin Ye, he might have been killed by His Majesty ten times.
Those who can compete with His Majesty in terms of mental skills have never been those noble and old families, including the Wang family. The ones who can compete with His Majesty are the new aristocrats who are just rising...
The emperor had breakfast and got up to do some exercise.
"Go and deliver the message. I want to meet the two people at Shangfeng Tower. One is named Nie Lingshan and the other is named Zhu Xiaozhu, right?"
Gu Xiujin leaned over and said: "The saint remembers it correctly, it is indeed these two names. Nie Lingshan is the sixth-rank Fengwen captain of Shangfengtai, and Zhu Xiaozhu is the seventh-rank."
The emperor smiled and said: "Two people who are living in peace with the world in the idle yamen are suddenly involved in such waves. They are probably frightened."
Gu Xiujin said: "I will go and convey the order now, and let the two of them enter the palace as soon as possible."
The emperor hummed: "After meeting the two of them, I heard that Xumi Pianruo came in. In addition, find a few people to keep an eye on the big guys leaving Geling and those selling bamboo baskets. Are they right?" I really went back to Yunzhou."
Gu Xiujin responded before turning around and going out.
Only an hour later, Nie Lingshan and Zhu Xiaozhu were waiting outside the imperial study room of Zhenyuan Palace. Both of them looked very nervous and uncomfortable.
The guards and chamberlains on duty at the door saw the two people rubbing the floor with their toes and arranging their clothes. They knew that it was their first time to come to the palace. Even though they were obviously very nervous, they were still there. I want to pretend that I come here often.
At this time, the emperor was in the imperial study room instructing on the case of the Yushitai. The imperial censor Jiao Hong died, and Lu Huanzhi, who was also quite prestigious in the Yushitai, died.
As a result, the officials and officials have become more cautious. Not to mention who dares to talk nonsense, they will also be doubly careful in their duties.
Those who were interested suddenly remembered that not long ago, after the emperor summoned the ministers and announced Mr. Xin's status, the imperial censor argued with the emperor in front of the courtiers.
The emperor promised Concubine Wan Gui that he would speed up the arrangements immediately, so the next day he summoned the officials of the third rank and above in Beijing and told them Xin Yanque's identity clearly.
At that time, this group of big shots, who obviously already knew about it, still pretended to be shocked.
The emperor then announced that when the time is right, he will give up the throne to Xin Yanque.
At this time, Jiao Hong, the censor of the capital, quit on the spot. He quoted scriptures and warned the emperor that if he insisted on giving up the throne, Dayu would surely suffer a catastrophe. His words were particularly fierce.
The emperor was not angry at that time, and even comforted Jiao Hong with kind words.
But Jiao Hong also said that this move was against the rules and did not respect the ancestral precepts. If Xin Yanque really ascended the throne, then there would be no rules and order in Dayu.
He said that if His Majesty did not listen to him, he would remonstrate with him at the next court meeting.
It's fine now, no advice, he's dead.
Lu Huanzhi is recognized as the only person qualified to succeed the imperial censor, and Jiao Hong is already so old. Even if he does not give up his advice, he may not be able to last long. After all, there are unforeseen circumstances.
Lu Huanzhi was Jiao Hong's confidant, and could even be said to have been trained by Jiao Hong. If Jiao Hong retreated and Lu Huanzhi climbed up, then as long as Jiao Hong didn't die, he would still have a certain influence in the Yushitai.
His Majesty is about to abdicate. When Xin Yanque takes the throne, this old immortal Jiao Hong will really give a performance-style remonstrance. How embarrassing will that scene be?
Not only will it be laughed at by people today, but it will also be treated as a joke if it has been mentioned for many years.
The most important thing is that it will disgust His Majesty.
The most important thing is that the Yushitai is still in the hands of those people. On the surface, they are upright, but in fact they are not talking about the people of the noble old clan.
Outside the imperial study room, the two people had been waiting for almost half an hour, their toes rubbing against the ground until the edges of their shoes became burred.
"Two adults, the saint calls in."
Gu Xiujin came out and called out, and the two people quickly leaned over to return the greeting and followed Gu Xiujin into the imperial study.
The emperor pointed at the memorials that had just been prepared: "Xiao Gu, send these things out and wait until Ning Weimo arrives and let him work together to deal with it. You can explain the matter to him in detail."
Gu Xiujin quickly agreed, picked up the memorials and walked out.
Ning Weimo has not yet been reinstated. After seeing His Majesty last time, His Majesty gave him a position as a bachelor without any actual duties. This is paving the way for Xin Yanque to re-appoint Ning Weimo as prime minister in the future.
Gu Xiujin went out with his things. How smart he was. He signaled as soon as he went out. The guards and servants outside the door immediately understood. After closing the door, they retreated further.
The emperor walked there without looking up, looking through a file in his hand.
Nie Lingshan looked at Zhu Xiaozhu, and they both knelt down at the same time.
"Your Majesty Nie Lingshan."
"Your Majesty Zhu Xiaozhu."
"Kowtow to your majesty, long live your majesty."
The emperor glanced at them and asked, "The last time I saw you was at the Hunting Garden in the back mountain. It must have been more than ten years."
Nie Lingshan kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have it."
The emperor said: "You two have done a good job. You have paved the way for Shangfengtai to become important again."
Nie Lingshan said quickly: "Serving your Majesty is a blessing for me."
The emperor hummed and handed the file in his hand to Nie Lingshan: "In the past ten years, you have done well in everything I have asked you to do. Now there are two thousand people available. Think about it, at that time, I was surrounded by There’s really no use for it.”
He looked at Nie Lingshan: "From among these people, you can choose at will. I will pass the decree in a few days, and the level of Shangfengtai will be raised to the fourth level..."
Before the two men could express their gratitude, the Emperor asked, "What did Jiao Hong do before he died?"
