There was a "splash" and the cold well water hit his face, and Jia Hui woke up instantly.
Lowering his head, Jia Hui turned sideways, looked at the old servant in green clothes standing aside, and asked, "Where is the King of Nanchang now?"
The old servant in green bowed slightly and said: "Reporting to the gentleman, Xianyan reported a moment ago that the King of Nanchang went to the East Palace in the morning. Today, the King of Nanchang went to Lishan Mountain with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess according to the order. They said they would stay for three days. .”
"By the way, this was decided a few days ago." Jia Hui couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He remembered that the King of Nanchang would accompany the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to Mount Li, which was decided before the palace examination.
Although what happened to Zhou Zhi and Bai Ying later, this matter did not change.
This matter is not a trivial matter. Although the matter of the crown prince and crown princess's heirs is not urgent, the government and the public are actually paying attention to it.
Hot springs are good for pregnancy. This is what the King of Nanchang said. If it can really happen, I don’t know how many people in the government and the public will be tempted.
"That's good." Jia Hui felt a little relieved.
Thinking of the past few days in the imperial city, the King of Nanchang has been spying on the ministers coming and going at an invisible place at the city gate every day. He even urged the ministers, secretaries and menxiasheng to strictly investigate the duty issues of his subordinates, but it did not affect the performance of his subordinates. Asking for leave is just a matter of figuring out where to go.
Some people even asked for sick leave. Whether they were sick themselves or their parents or children at home, Shang Yao Bureau and Tai Hospital sent people to deliver medicine and inquire about their condition.
Jia Hui knew that the King of Nanchang was looking for him by doing this.
After returning home after being poisoned that day, Jia Hui suddenly woke up. The King of Nanchang was not looking for him, but looking for him.
Not only did he want to find him, but he also wanted to find all the people behind him.
But fortunately, Jia Hui found the prescription himself.
Although Jia Hui's sleep has not returned to normal in the past two days, and he even has some diarrhea in the past two days, it is not a big deal.
But last night, whether it was because of something on his mind or something else, Jia Hui suddenly woke up at about 10 o'clock in his sleep, and he was unusually awake, and he couldn't fall back to sleep after that.
Instead, now, I feel slightly sleepy.
But no matter what, it is much better than the previous Five Qi Chaos.
A basin of cold water to wash his face was enough to wake him up.
After waiting for a moment, Jia Hui immediately changed his topic and asked another person who might put a knife on his neck at any time: "What about Ming Chongyan?"
"The whereabouts of Master Shiyin are secretive and cannot be detected by the Thread Eye Gate. However, there is news from the Qianniu Guard that Master Shiyin arrived at the palace half an hour ago." When the servant in Qingyi mentioned Ming Chongyan, his face could not help but become solemn.
Compared to Li Xuan, Ming Chongyan poses a greater threat to them.
Jia Hui waved his hand and said: "Master Shiyin has his own responsibilities. He will not leave Chang'an easily, so as long as we leave the city, he will not be able to control things outside."
"Here!" The old servant in green promised in a low voice.
Jia Hui wiped his hands, took a deep breath, and said: "You still have to be careful about King Nanchang and keep your eyes on the line more. I don't want to see King Nanchang following us quietly. He is the best at it." It’s these things.”
"As you command, Mr. Lang." The old servant in green bowed again.
Jia Hui's face became solemn, he grabbed the long black sheath sword from the wooden stand, and strode outside without saying a word.
The old servant in green clothes quickly followed.
In the middle hall, a beautiful woman in her forties was arranging her men to put clothes, dry food and other things into the carriage.
When Jia Hui saw this scene, he stepped forward with a gentle face, nodded to the beautiful woman, and said, "Excuse me, madam."
Mrs. Jia walked up to Jia Hui, looked him up and down, and then said softly: "Lang Jun is always busy until late at night these days, and then there are bumps on the road... Lang Jun must take care of himself, and get a good rest after arriving in the west. Come back as soon as you finish your mission. There are fierce battles in the west..."
"Don't worry, madam. My husband is not going to the front line. He will be back in a month at most." Jia Hui said softly, but there seemed to be something else in his eyes.
Mrs. Jia didn't seem to understand the subtext of Jia Hui's words, and just said softly: "Don't get too involved in some things. Just deal with father and Uncle Chen's affairs. Lang Jun, Da Lang and Er Lang have ordinary qualifications. I’m still counting on you.”
Jia Hui fell silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "My husband knows."
Jia Hui's two sons are not good at studying. They can't endure hardships in martial arts. They can only read military books and tactics. They are not honest and bully the weak and fear the strong. With him, the two sons can barely survive. After sneaking into the position of county captain and magistrate, without him, the two of them might have to return to their hometown to farm.
While thinking, Jia Hui had already left the mansion, nodded to the lady standing at the door, then turned around and headed towards the Zhuque Gate.
…
This trip to the west to check the actual treasury status of Ganlan Prefectures, he was not the only one who traveled there, but also a Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War, a censor from Yushitai, and even people from Dali Temple, but Jia Hui even now I don’t know who will go.
If it were any other time, they would have met yesterday and agreed on the itinerary.
But in the past few days, he had not been feeling well, and the palace seemed to be planning something, so he did not meet with them at all.
Jia Hui guessed that it was probably related to Zhou Zhi's matter.
As Zhou Zhi's subordinate, he had too many things on his hands. Jia Hui knew how sensitive the information he sold to Tubo was.
Although he was a little worried about what happened today, Jia Hui still felt much more at ease. As long as the King of Nanchang didn't go with him, he could arrange everything.
Jia Hui was in a good mood, but when he saw a few people standing under Zhuque's door, his face became extremely ugly.
Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, came to Sui to serve as the imperial censor and prince of the school, Xi Ma Lu Yuan Fang, and Di Renjie, the chief minister of Dali Temple.
The three people and their subordinates were chatting in low voices.
Jia Hui's heart suddenly became cold. The moment he saw these people, Jia Hui almost saw the King of Nanchang himself arriving.
The darkness in his eyes was instantly suppressed to the depths of his eyes. Jia Hui turned over and dismounted, bowed his hands to the three of them and said: "Brother Xian, we haven't seen you for a long time. Lu Yushi and Di Si Cheng, I really never expected this time. I can work with both of you."
Laisui once served as Li Hong's crown prince. At that time, Jia Hui was the prince's horse washer. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they were known to each other.
Lu Yuanfang now inspects the prince's horse washing, which was Jia Hui's original job.
More importantly, Lu Yuanfang was born in the Lu family in Wuzhong, one of the top families of the 16th Wuyue family. Jia Hui was born in the Jia family in Wuzhou. Although the Jia family is a big family in Yiwu, it cannot join the four major families in Wuzhou. Among them, it is far worse than the Lu family.
The most important thing is that the Lu family knows too much about the Jia family.
Jia Hui looked at Di Renjie, the vigilance in his eyes deeply hidden. Among the three of them, the one he was most vigilant about was Di Renjie.
Di Renjie is the great detective of Dali Temple. Since he took office as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple last year, he has solved thousands of cases every month. Whether it is Zhang Wenguan or Duan Baoxuan, the two ministers of Dali Temple have great trust in him, and now he has become the empress. eyes, the future is boundless.
In particular, these three people had a very good relationship with the King of Nanchang, which made Jia Hui couldn't help but wonder, had the King of Nanchang sent them to monitor him?
Laisui bowed his hands to Jia Hui and returned the greeting: "Brother Jia, this is really annoying. I only found out yesterday that I was going to Ganlan. I originally asked Brother Jia to discuss one or two points, but the affairs of the Ministry of War are really busy. Even if I have to go to Ganlan today, Heading west, I was still on duty until late last night."
When Laisui said this, Jia Hui somewhat understood.
The Ministry of War is indeed very busy these days. I don’t know how many orders are sent from the Ministry of War to the Western Front every day.
The key is that the affairs of the Ministry of War are very secretive. Pei Xingjian serves as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the most important thing is to keep confidentiality. Therefore, they can only speculate from the relevant imperial edicts issued by the court. However, the imperial edicts are only rough, and the real details of the Ministry of War are not known. They had no idea about the arrangement.
The Ministry of War may not care at all about the inspection of grain, grass and weapons on the Western Front, because they have their own control over these things, and this time they are inspecting more state and county treasuries, logistics transfers, and are not related to the Ministry of War. It was not direct, so even if only one Yuanwailang was sent, he still held him and refused to let go.
Jia Hui raised his head and looked at Lu Yuanfang. Lu Yuanfang bowed his hand and said in return: "Yushitai was originally supposed to send Yushi Cen to the Western Front, but the day before yesterday, Yushi Cen fell ill and was unable to go forward. After discussion with the ministry, Lu was sent to the Western Front. Get out."
Jia Hui suddenly realized that when it came to the unfortunate Cun Yushi who got sick, it was Jia Hui's fault.
In order to divert the attention of the King of Nanchang that day, Jia Hui secretly sent people to attack several of his colleagues, but he did not expect that some of them wanted to go west with him. This time it was self-defeating.
Jia Hui finally looked at Di Renjie, who calmly held his hands and said: "Dali Temple has been busy reviewing collaborating cases recently. Di had a disagreement with his colleagues and was sent to the front line for training. After all, there are some things that need to be experienced."
The corners of Jia Hui's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Di Renjie said it too directly.
But he understood what Di Renjie meant.
Just seeing that Di Renjie can solve thousands of cases every month without anyone complaining, we know that he has his own way of handling cases.
The main investigation of Dali Temple now is the case of Qinxiangyuan. It is examining whether the more than 30 officials caught there have collaborated with the enemy of Tibet, discussed the government affairs, slandered the emperor and empress, or conspired to rebel.
But except for Zhou Zhi, who was really collaborating with the Tubo enemy, others who discussed the government affairs, slandered the emperor and the empress, and even conspired against the rebellion were just drunken talk.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this kind of thing is because the Queen is angry and wants to deal with this group of people severely.
In addition to investigating what these people said in Qinxiang Garden, Dali Temple is also investigating some illegal things they have done before, and will eventually be punished for all crimes.
Di Renjie couldn't stand these things and said some strange words. The people in Dali Temple could not do anything to him, so they could only send him out temporarily.
And what Di Renjie said was right. He had never experienced anything on the battlefield. This trip to the west might not be a way to gain experience for him.
Go gold-plated.
The care is beyond words.
A few people chatted for a while, made some plans for today's trip, and then headed towards Mingde Gate with official documents and other officials.
As they walked, Jia Hui said seemingly casually: "I heard that the King of Nanchang is going to Lishan Mountain with His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess today. Three of you. It is said that the King of Nanchang is known as a miracle doctor. Your Highness..."
Jia Hui didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
Others subconsciously looked at Lu Yuanfang. Lu Yuanfang entered the school to wash the prince's horse. He had the most say in this matter.
"Whether it's a miracle doctor or not, I don't have to say, and His Highness the Prince doesn't have to say it. It will only matter if he has an heir someday." Lu Yuanfang replied lightly, then hit the horse and moved forward quickly.
The others quickly followed.
…
On the gate tower of Mingde Gate, a general wearing red clothes and golden armor placed his hand on the eight-sided Han sword at his waist and watched everyone leave with a stern expression.
The familiar face turned out to be Li Xuan, who everyone said should accompany Prince Li Xian to Mount Li.
