Some people didn't understand why Hongfu asked like this, but Duanhong answered Hongfu truthfully, "The Queen Mother is in good health. She plays with flowers and plants and educates the Marquis of Jinyang every day."
Educating Jinyang Marquis Li Zhi, Hong Fu knew it well. It was rumored that Li Zhi went to the imperial study room to find Li Mingda to argue, but Li Mingda demoted him from the throne to a marquis. You have to know that even if Li Chengqian was only stripped of his status as the prince, there would be no punishment at all for his property or anything.
Following Li Chengqian's troubles, Li Moyun became a figure like the governor of the Tang Dynasty in the southern seas. Hou Junji and his family were deposed from all their titles, their property was confiscated, and the family declined.
This is completely like heaven and earth. There are even speculations about whether Li Moyun was sent to Li Chengqian by Li Mingda's scouting mission.
Changsun Wuji was a guy who was almost forgotten, and Hongfu also threw him aside early.
"I originally wanted to visit the Queen Mother."
Duan Hong: "The Queen Mother rarely goes out. She is recuperating. She should have a chance to look back."
Hongfu "too"
The two chatted for a while, and Duan Hong saw that the sun was approaching the center of the sky, "It's getting late, Madam, I'll go back first."
Hong Fu persuaded Duan Hong, "Why don't we have lunch at the mansion? It's been a long time since we last talked."
"No, I have to go back to serve the Supreme Emperor."
"If that's the case, then there won't be much to save you."
'Farewell'
"Farewell"
Hong Fu and Zhang Zhongjian, who were confused, sent Duan Hong to the gate of Duke Wei's residence. Without the burden of gifts, Duan Hong and others hurried back.
Watching Duan Hong leave, Hong Fu and Zhang Zhongjian returned to the main hall again. Zhang Zhongjian looked confused, "Hong Fu, why are you chatting so much with that Duan Hong?"
Hongfu sighed helplessly and then said to Zhang Zhongjian, "Brother, you'd better not know about this."
Zhang Zhongjian was a little unhappy at these words. What kind of character was he? He was so straightforward and had deep feelings for Hong Fu. Naturally, he would not let Hong Fu take care of anything.
Zhang Zhongjian said directly to Hong Fu, "We said it when we became sworn brothers. We don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but we want to die in the same year and the same month. We can't talk about anything."
"Besides, if you and the pharmacist get out of trouble, I can stay out of it~!"
Xiao Zhi moved people with reason and emotion, and Zhang Zhongjian's words successfully moved Hong Fu.
Hongfu rubbed his brow and shouted back, "Brother, I won't hide this from you anymore. There should be some close subordinates of the Supreme Emperor in my house. I hope to find them out and have a good talk with them. Just let him go."
It is normal for the emperor to set up spies in the homes of ministers, and Zhang Zhongjian, a local emperor, also knows this truth. He also knew that it was best not to get involved in royal matters. The battle for the prince to win the right to the throne was more dangerous than the struggle between the old and new emperors. This was considered a minor inadvertence and the whole family was finished.
"About this matter, what did you talk about with Duan Hong?"
Hong Fu shook his head, "No, not at all. This is my biggest headache, but now there is still a chance."
Zhang Zhongjian thought about Duan Hong and the gifts he brought in his mind, and suddenly understood in his mind: "Well, okay, I understand, what's next?"
Hongfu Nu said, "Of course I have to wait."
There is a lot of rain in summer. Not long after Duan Hong left, the sky became overcast again, and soon the rain fell from the sky. The people walking around in Chang'an City became sparse again.
The rain took away the heat, the temperature began to drop, and there were bursts of coolness in the originally hot weather. At night, the major mansions on Zhuque Street lit up lanterns one after another. The guards and servants on duty also brought clothes to keep out the cold, and the rain continued to fall at night.
Except for a few places, nightlife has just begun, with music, music and music, and changing glasses. Some remote cities were locked up early for safety, and the night watchman Wu Hou started patrolling the streets with lanterns and raincoats.
The residence of Duke Wei was similar to the other residences of Cheng Yaojin and his family, and the door was closed early at night. After dinner, Li Jing briefly read the gift list. After a busy day, he went to the rest area early.
Hongfu settled Li Jing and started his own business.
In the dark night, the rain kept falling, and the frogs were chirping in the pond. As the temperature of the water in the upper layer gradually drops due to rain, the fish in the pond move to the lower layer one after another.
dong dong dong
"Midnight. Be careful of candles."
The sound of the big watch came from Zhuque Street. Li Jing was born as a general, and his family was a duke. The manor had his own private soldiers and generals as bodyguards. On night duty, servants patrolled the outside, and some private soldiers and generals were stationed inside.
The private soldiers were all clan members and some sergeants who chose to follow Li Jing from the battlefield. Most of the family generals were also Li clan members and captains who had retired from the army. They followed Li Jing for many years and performed their duties conscientiously.
Even if it rains and snows heavily, when it's time for inspection, they will appear at the right place on time without slacking off at all.
A group of private soldiers on night patrol inspected Duke Wei's treasury. They looked at several colleagues on duty at the door. The two parties nodded as a greeting. Suddenly, a mouse ran out of the corner and disappeared into the rainy night.
The patrol officers were shocked
"what"
"mouse"
"Look at how scared you two bitches are."
"Aren't you trembling too?"
"It's because it's cold, right?"
"Stop nagging, let's go, let's go"
The team continued to march along the route, and the rain fell from their bodies covered with raincoats. The heavy footsteps made a "plop-pap-pap" sound as they stepped on the stagnant water, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Watching the patrolling team go away, the soldiers guarding the door looked at each other, and one of them left his post. Walking to the door of the treasury, the door was ajar at this time, and the soldiers stepped in. Inside the treasury, a tall figure holding a candlestick was rummaging through boxes of various sizes.
"Sir, the third watch of the night has passed."
The man paused slightly when he heard the soldier's words. He didn't say anything and just waved to signal the other party to go out.
He understood his master's intention and knew to let himself out.
Senyang, the guard at Li Jing's mansion, had to change positions after the third-shift inspection team passed by. Looking at the unopened boxes in front of him, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
This Hong Fu girl actually messed up all the gifts Duan Hong sent and placed them everywhere. Except for herself, she couldn't find which new one was the old one at once. What should she do?
He had to sneak in calmly, open it intact and then put it back. He rummaged carefully for half an hour, but there were not many boxes. Looking at the huge treasury, the other party whispered, "What are you looking for here?" How long, Your Majesty, it’s so difficult for me~!”
