Chapter 183: Zhao An in White
Wang Yi took the lantern and walked towards the exit. Liu Qian looked at the dark red bluestone slabs on the ground with the lanterns, smelling a little bloody smell. He knew that these dark red bluestone slabs were all eroded by blood.
Most of the bloodstains left here are relatives of the royal family in Luoyang. The rebellion of the prince that year involved thousands of people.
Liu Qing'a looked at the bluestone slabs and sighed slightly. In a few days, he didn't know how many more people would be getting blood from here.
After walking out of the imperial prison, Wang Yi took Liu Qian back the same way. Lu Zhong was sitting on a chair, waiting for Liu Qian to come out. Wang Yi blew out the lantern in his hand, put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, welcome to come again next time."
Liu Qian said angrily: "Mr. Lu, you are a subordinate who is sarcastic and mocking me all the way. Do you care?"
Lu Zhong asked back, "Who heard it? I didn't."
Liu Qian was so upset by Lu Zhong's helplessness that the Jinyiwei had a good relationship with Liu Qian. If it were someone else, Liu Qian would not be so easy to talk to. I really think that Liu Qian, as His Majesty's confidant, was the Minister of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty, who was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
Lu Zhong waved his hand. Seeing this, Wang Yi nodded and took the Jinyiwei beside him out of the gate of the imperial prison and guarded outside.
Lu Zhong glanced around and confirmed that all the people from the Jinyiwei had walked out. Then he said, "Mr. Liu, what did the three princes say this time? But what did they ask?"
Liu Qian sat on the chair and sighed slightly, "It's all irrelevant things, and I can say that I didn't ask anything."
Lu Zhong believed what Liu Qian said. After all, there were 6,000 reasons to deceive Lu Zhong because Lu Zhong was also the emperor's candidate for investigation. If there was something, he had the right to know.
"Then it's not easy for you to report to the palace this time."
"Who said no? This time I returned to the palace, and it's hard to say."
Lu Zhong looked at Liu Qian and thought about the fact that the person he sent to the palace to investigate the palace maid had not come back yet, he was also a little worried. The only clue to the whole matter now was the identity of the palace maid. If this clue was broken, then there would be no way to investigate this matter. Then I don’t know what kind of storm would be in the court, and the emperor didn’t know how to deal with the job.
"How about I go to the palace to see it first. After I get any clues, you can ask?"
Liu Qian nodded, and had to do so. There was no way to do this.
"I'll send Lord Liu out?"
Lu Zhong stood up and wanted to send Liu Qian away, but Liu Qian refused.
"No, I will go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion in a while."
Lu Zhong looked solemn and full of respect, "His Majesty's order?"
Liu Qian touched the yellow imperial edict in his sleeve and asked, "The order has been issued, and the inheritance has been replaced. With Wu Zhong's posthumous title, it is worth leaving."
Lu Zhong shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether it's worth it. Once the old Duke leaves, it's worth it for the descendants of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, but it's a big loss for the Ming Dynasty. After all, there are not many people who participated in the Spring and Autumn War that year."
Liu Qian slowly stood up, walked out of the Zhao Prison with Lu Zhong with his hands on his back, "There are not many, except for the few Spring and Autumn Remnants, King Liang, King Cheng, and Guan Tiannan, who were all dead."
"King Liang is soon, if there is no such thing
In the matter, the imperial edict investigated by the court had already entered Liangzhou."
Liu Qian shook his head, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "For so many years, the three northern states, Liangzhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou seem to be very good at scholars. There were two in Qingzhou, Zhang Juzheng, Yao Xianzhi, and Youzhou even more miserable. Yan Song was taken under the command of the King of Yan, and Wang Yi did not even enter the academy, so you were taken in the Jinyiwei. After all, there was no scholar in Liangzhou."
Lu Zhong twisted the long hair on his temples and said with a smile: "Some are just being suppressed intentionally or unintentionally by His Majesty."
Liu Qian frowned. It seemed that the old grudge between the late emperor and the King of Liang could not be eliminated. The late emperor had been dead for a long time, and the emperor was still suppressing scholars from Liangzhou.
In the court, the scholars of Youzhou were suppressing again. A Zhang Juzheng from Qingzhou, Yao Xianzhi was barely saved.
Liu Qian knew why. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was close to the south, and most of the north were territories built by the Spring and Autumn Period. Those people in the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to accept the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is reasonable.
Even people from Western Shu come to Chang'an City, they are more popular than people from the three northern states.
Liu Qian seemed to have thought of something and asked Lu Zhong: "His Your Majesty's imperial edict arrived in Liangzhou?"
Lu Zhong shook his head, "This morning, the Censor, Lord Taiyan, and the Inspector General Liu, went to Liangzhou. It would be great if he could reach Tingzhou now."
Liu Qian stood behind the gate of the imperial prison and looked at Lu Zhong, "I just don't know what the King Liang, who has no children, feels."
Lu Zhong retorted: "Don't he have an adopted son, known as the White-clothed Soldier, and fought several major battles with Northern Qi in the north, all of which won."
Liu Qian suddenly realized, "A few years ago, I heard a few news from the north. A young general in white clothes killed three generals from Northern Qi one after another. The Northern Qi was so angry that he sent countless masters to assassinate him, but they all returned in vain. It turned out to be him. Can you tell the specific name?"
Lu Zhong smiled, "Sir Liu is this testing the intelligence system of the Jinyiwei? It is said that it is called Zhao An."
Liu Qian was a little confused, "Why is it still said?"
Lu Zhong spread his hands and said helplessly: "You think the people under Liangzhou are vegetarians. It would be great if the Jinyiwei could know these things. What else do you want to do?"
Liu Qian pushed open the gate of the imperial prison, and the sunlight shining outside was a little dazzling. Liu Qian subconsciously raised his hand to cover the sunlight. Through the gap between his fingers, he looked outside, and the sun had just risen.
"I'm leaving. I'm very busy today. After a while, I've been to the Duke of Wei's Mansion and have to go to the imperial city to report to Your Majesty. If Lord Lu is in the palace, then we will see you there."
Lu Zhong held his fists and sent him respectfully, "Mr. Liu walked slowly."
Liu Qian left the Jinyiwei with his hands on his back.
Wang Yi looked at Liu Qian's departure back, approached Lu Zhong a little, and asked, "Sir Lu, why did Liu Shangshu come here for?"
Lu Zhong slapped Wang Yi on the back of the head, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, go and call Li Yuan. The Jinyiwei on Ziwu Lane is temporarily the only one who will go out to perform the mission. Lao Wu, who came back yesterday, will go to the imperial city with me."
"Old Wu? Go to the imperial city?"
Wang Yi was very confused. When did Jinyi have another old Wu? Listen to the words
Are you angry? Isn’t Ma Shun and Zhou Liyuan in the imperial city? Why did Lu Zhong take him to do it?
However, despite his doubts, Wang Yi went to Li Yuan's room to wake him up. Lu Zhong waved his hand, and all the Jinyiwei guards guarding outside the door rushed into the imperial prison, guarding the place with all their might. Lu Zhong was not afraid of someone coming to rob the prison, and he was worried that he would ask who to investigate the poisoning matter.
Liu Qian was in a carriage and escorted by the Jinyiwei, rushing to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Lu Zhong pushed open the gate of your Jinyiwei, stood at the intersection of Ziwu Lane, looking at the faces gathered in Ziwu Lane coldly.
“It’s so boring.”
Lu Zhong couldn't help but think of a word in his heart: No matter how many people gather, you come to Ziwu Lane, will anyone dare to step into the Jinyiwei courtyard?
Countless spies and servants have been sent out by you. Are you really worried about your master's safety or want to get the news as soon as possible so that you can go back and prepare for funerals.
Wang Yi walked out with a large number of Jinyiwei and saw Lu Zhong standing there, not knowing what to think. Wang Yi had to go forward and ask Lu Zhong when he would go to the imperial city, but before Wang Yi could say anything, Lu Zhong waved his sleeves and said, "Go."
The Jinyiwei and his group went to the imperial city in a vast and powerful manner.
The secret spies in Ziwu Lane left like rain and were divided into two routes. They went all the way to the mansions of each family and reported the matter to the master. Then, they followed the Jinyiwei closely. As for the Jinyiwei, they did not dare to take another step forward.
When he walked into the imperial city, most of the staff of the Jinyiwei stayed in the outer city. Lu Zhong only brought a dozen Jinyiwei into the inner city of the imperial city. All of them were the emperor's female relatives. On weekdays, no one except the emperor could enter here. Today, the emperor handed over the token to Lu Zhong, and with His Majesty's handing over to Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong was able to enter here.
Walking into the inner city of the imperial city, although the entire imperial city was hung with big red lanterns and the word "Fu" could be seen everywhere, after experiencing what happened last night, the solemn atmosphere filled the inner city, making people feel a little depressed and breathless.
Wang Yi did not say a word, followed Lu Zhong and walked towards a very ordinary palace. The surrounding imperial guards were responsible for following them, both for protection and surveillance.
But after walking for a while, Lu Zhong saw a woman in green standing on the palace corridor not far away, standing on tiptoe, holding the white marble railing, looking here, looking like a woman waiting for the arrival of her sweetheart.
Lu Zhong smiled and stopped, and the people behind him naturally stopped. Everyone was very strange and confused. Why did Lu Zhong stop? Lu Zhong first came to Wang Yi and pointed to the woman in green standing on the corridor. Then he smiled and left Wang Yi, hugged a small commander of the Imperial Guard, and chatted while walking. Then he turned around and gave a wink at the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei looked at Wang Yi and then the woman in green. He instantly understood. He imitated Lu Zhong, and hugged the Imperial Guard, and shouted at the Imperial Guard, talking about where the wine was good and where the meat was delicious. He was almost kowtowed and bowed to the kowtow at that time.
Wang Yi was amused and laughed at the actions of the brothers of Jinyiwei around him, and he could not let them down.
Wang Yi hit the ground with one foot, then jumped up with the force, came to the railing, and looked at the woman with a smile, her eyes full of gentleness.
