The morning light paved the way, and the light and shadow were steps.
The golden armor shines brightly, and the long branches are cold.
Under the Suzaku Gate, a high-ranking official got off the horse or carriage and handed the identity token into the hands of the guard at the left prison gate.
After detailed verification by the guards at the left prison gate, they were released and slowly entered the imperial city.
On the Suzaku Gate, a sergeant named Zuo Jinwuwei held a long spear and stared coldly at every official who came in and out.
…
Li Xuan, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, stood behind the female wall, avoiding the eyes of everyone below, but her scrutinizing eyes quickly swept over every official below.
Suddenly there was a sound of slight footsteps behind him. Li Xuan turned around subconsciously and saw Ming Chongyan wearing a black Taoist robe appearing behind him.
"Real person." Li Xuan bowed slightly and nodded as a greeting, but his hand was still on the eight-sided Han sword at his waist.
His wrists were tense, as if he was ready to unsheath his sword at any moment.
Ming Chongyan stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Xuan, his eyes also falling below.
Seeing a famous official in purple robe, scarlet robe and green robe enter the imperial city, Ming Chongyan suddenly said: "I heard that the King of Nanchang spent the night at Shang Yao Bureau last night. He got up early this morning and came to Zhuque Gate. I wonder what happened last night?"
Ming Chongyan looked sideways at Li Xuan, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Last night, the emperor had ordered Li Xuan to go back to his mansion to rest, but he didn't go anywhere and stayed directly at Shang Yao Bureau.
It seems that they are anxious to complete the medicine needed by the emperor, but it is hard to say what the real situation is.
Li Xuan said calmly: "The real person was guarding the central watchtower last night. All the medicine shops in the city were under the watchful eye of the real person. If that person made the slightest move, the real person would have discovered it. Why do we still need to ask Xiao Wang?" ?”
Li Xuan looked up, with a trace of calmness in his eyes, as if everything Ming Chongyan did last night was under his control.
Ming Chongyan shook his head slightly and said: "Pindao just sent people to keep an eye on the medicine shop, but in the entire Chang'an City, there are famous and unknown doctors, and there are even many officials of the current dynasty who are also famous doctors in the world. Even if they have some in their homes, It’s normal to have some kind of secret medicine. Your Majesty, the descendant of the King of Medicine, must have a way.”
Li Xuan looked at Ming Chongyan, smiled softly, and said: "Sir, any truly famous doctor with a certain level in Chang'an City will not talk about whether he exchanges medical skills with others, but he will definitely trade medicinal herbs with others. .
A real person only needs to go to the drug store and ask. Then whether it is a real famous doctor, or a doctor who is secretly hiding from the outside world, or a famous doctor hidden in various royal families, or even Taoist and Buddhist temples, it is inevitable to buy medicine. There are more, personal level, the drug store will naturally master it. "
Although there are countless famous mountains and rivers near Chang'an City, it is simply impossible to go up the mountains and collect herbs by yourself to meet the needs.
There are many medicines for treating diseases that come from the deep mountains and forests in the south. They are rarely found in the north and can only be sold in drug stores.
Once they conduct special drug transactions with drug stores, these people will immediately fall into Li Xuan's sight.
Ming Chongyan shook his head and said: "It is impossible for the secret guards to directly target everyone."
"You don't need to keep an eye on everyone, it's enough to let the drug store pass a message." Li Xuan looked up at Ming Chongyan and said softly: "Come to think of it, there are not many famous doctors who are willing to have a close relationship with Tubo, not to mention, What I ask people to pass on is to report afterwards."
No need to catch people red-handed, just a name is enough.
Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that no one used privet fruit all night last night. After all, it's hard to move after the curfew."
"So, it depends on today." Ming Chongyan looked past Li Xuan and landed on the people below.
After a while, Ming Chongyan, who had found nothing, turned sideways, looked at Li Xuan, and said: "Dali Temple arrested so many people last night, and then ransacked many people's homes. Does the prince know what his reputation is now in Chang'an City? ?”
Comments?
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. He really had never cared about this thing before. He cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."
"The prince's reputation is actually very good." Ming Chongyan sighed softly. He really never thought that so many things happened last night. When people mentioned Li Xuan, many of them said they were loyal to their duties, but there was no villain who wanted to take revenge. Something like that.
"The prince, as the young minister of Honglu Temple, came out to investigate the case of collaborating with the enemy. Those who were arrested in Qinxiangyuan last night were all labeled as liaison with Tibet." Ming Chongyan sighed with emotion and said: "Now there is no one in the city. There are not many people who cry out for them, but in fact there is no place for them to cry out.
Those people were all playboys. They did ridiculous things on weekdays and were hated by others. But if they were said to be having liaisons with Tibet, not many people would really believe it.
Everyone thought it was just a case of unlucky contamination. Once the matter was found out, they would be released immediately.
No one resented the prince. "
"Absurd people, ridiculous things, ridiculous words." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said softly: "It is precisely because these people are so ridiculous that they say some unbelievable ridiculous things after drinking. As for this How to judge absurd words depends on how the Queen of Heaven handles them."
"Of course someone will have bad luck." Ming Chongyan's calm words made Li Xuan understand that Empress Wu was trying to scare the monkeys.
Of course, some people are going to be in bad luck, and some people are going to be more relaxed. Li Xuan believes that these guys will have to live with their tail between their legs for a long time.
"However, Cui Fan from Zhongshushe was let go." Ming Chongyan glanced down and saw Cui Fan, a member of Zhongshushe who was originally captured by Li Xuan last night, slowly accepting it. Review, then pass, and finally go to Zhongshu Province.
Li Xuan nodded and said softly: "Last night, Cui Sheren wrote a secret book and handed it over to the secret guard."
Cui Fan's writing was in a secret form, so Li Xuan naturally had no need to stop it because he knew there was nothing related to him in it.
"Has the prince read that secret document?" Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan with a faint look.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said calmly: "No, that is a secret message from Cui Sheren to His Majesty and the Queen. I understand the rules and will not read what I shouldn't."
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that there might be something harmful to you?"
Li Xuan glanced at Ming Chongyan with some surprise and said, "I don't have much contact with Cui Sheren. The few times I met him were at court meetings. As for the other times, there was no interaction at all. What can he do with him?" Things related to me, let alone something that is detrimental to me, I don’t believe he has this ability.”
"Your Majesty is so confident!" Ming Chongyan sighed inexplicably.
Li Xuan suddenly became confused, looked at Ming Chongyan and asked: "Master, did Xiao Wang make any mistakes in his work?"
"What did the prince say for himself?" Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan with a half-smile.
Seeing Ming Chongyan's tone, Li Xuan relaxed, but still said cautiously: "It seems that Xiao Wang will have to clean up some things inside and outside after he returns."
"It's best if the prince is willing to do this." Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan calmly.
Li Xuan lowered his head slightly, but couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, I believe you are a ghost.
Last night, Li Xuan did not read what was written on Cui Fan's memorial, but Zhao Gong did.
After Zhao Gong read it, he handed it over for him, explaining that there was nothing detrimental to Li Xuan in it.
But today, Ming Chongyan once again acted like you have a problem. At first, Li Xuan thought that he really missed some loopholes, and Ming Chongyan was spying on him, but then, he probed a little, and immediately It was clear that Ming Chongyan wanted his men to take action.
Only by taking action can others have a chance to seize the flaw.
If he doesn't move, others won't even have a chance to spy on his reality.
When it comes to Li Xuan's family, Li Bi does the deepest planning, Sanniang Liu Jinyu checks for deficiencies, and Li Xuan controls the overall situation from the outside. Finally, Zhao Gong is there to help him check for deficiencies. Even if there are any problems, they are far away. It's not something that ordinary people can find out.
However, Ming Chongyan's words also reminded him that from today on, there will be many people watching him overtly and covertly. So many people will suffer losses and will not let it go.
It seems that some things really have to move, and then set a few traps to see who will die.
…
"Eh!" Li Xuan suddenly said "Eh", then turned to look downstairs, with a trace of doubt on his face.
Ming Chongyan was keenly aware of Li Xuan's strangeness. He quickly looked down and saw an official in his fifties wearing a light crimson official robe with an elegant face and a calm expression appearing in his eyes.
Although there were more than a dozen other officials around him, Ming Chongyan still locked his eyes on him at a glance.
His face looked very normal, except for a trace of bloodshot eyes, but this was also normal for officials of the Tang Dynasty. Who didn't stay up late on weekdays.
The man walked slowly and slowly, with a solemn expression. He respectfully handed his waist badge to the guard at the left prison gate. When the guard at the left prison gate handed the badge back, he nodded calmly, and then walked in with everyone. In the imperial city, walk along the main road towards where the household department is.
"No wonder the prince ordered all the gates to be closed today, leaving only the Suzaku Gate. It turns out that he can really catch people." Ming Chongyan sighed softly. He did not expect that the person he had captured for a long time would actually be caught by Li Xuan's little tricks. Show directly below.
"The former prince washes horses, Jia Hui, a doctor in the household department, is from Wuzhou." Li Xuan walked to the other side of the city wall and looked at Jia Hui, who was no different from the others and left calmly. He sighed in his heart, he was exposed after all. Telltale.
Although Jia Hui looked no different from anyone else, in the eyes of a person like Ming Chongyan, Jia Hui's suddenly declining body magnetic field revealed too much about him.
After not sleeping all night, now at this time, the feeling of sleepiness has doubled, but I still have to resist.
An individual's body's magnetic field, even after being forcibly suppressed by Zhenqi, is still chaotic compared to others.
In particular, this method secretly exposed his extraordinary cultivation.
"Your Majesty's technique is really amazing." Ming Chongyan sighed softly.
How could he not understand that Li Xuan had already predicted that Jia Hui would forcefully come to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report to the Ministry of Finance today.
What was said in Penglai Hall before was just borrowed from the emperor and asked to be said by the emperor.
Li Xuan's face was not as pretty as Ming Chongyan's. He said coldly: "Master, do you know why he came today?"
"Avoid suspicion?"
"This is one and the other. As a doctor from the Ministry of Finance, he has the right to inspect the medicine warehouses of Shang Yao Bureau and Tai Hospital. When the time comes, he can have someone take a look at it for him, and then bring a few things with him. The medicine will not be noticed at all." Li Xuan had a look of hatred on her face.
Ming Chongyan's expression was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Pindao must report this matter to the Queen of Heaven immediately... Last night, His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven had issued an order to send Jia Hui, a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, to the northwest provinces to inspect the grain depots. , if he really has a problem... the consequences will be disastrous."
"Master, Xiao Wang is also going to Shang Yao Bureau to make some arrangements. Since he has discovered it today, he can never leave again."
There was already a hint of cruelty on Li Xuan's face.
