I have an eternal eye

"With them, don't even think about it!"

On the throne, Emperor Zhao Mian suddenly stood up, and his roar echoed throughout the hall.

The surrounding guards and maids quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Guo An also lowered his head deeply.

In a daze, he remembered again the graceful figure holding the Emperor's Sword and leveling the three kings...

I remembered again the heroic voice on the ice field, who was riding his horse and whipping his whip, vowing to win the battle and give the Central Plains a hundred years of stability...

Now that the emperor is old, the dragon is even more powerful.

But he heard a hint of trembling...

On the dragon sculpture throne, Zhao Mian panted and sat down slowly. Looking at the letter, he felt a little suffocated and opened his collar a little more.

After calming down, he took a deep breath and asked calmly: "Guo Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Guo An hurriedly bent down and handed over his hands, "I dare not say whether this is true or not, but they have known about the changes in the black sun and blood moon a few months ago, and with the various strange phenomena now, it is probably true."

"If it is true as they say, heavy fog will fall from the sky after the new year and last for several years. The water and land passages of various states will be blocked, which will inevitably lead to catastrophe. It is better to make plans in advance..."

Zhao Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there any clever way to deal with it?"

Guo An was silent for a moment, "This...I am a martial artist with dull qualifications. I will do whatever your Majesty says."

"idiot!"

Although Zhao Mian scolded him fiercely, his eyes were slightly less guarded, and he thought deeply: "The Lianhua Sect has been laying out its layout in the capital for hundreds of years. It must have a big plan. That thing underground may be the key to turning things around."

"And this tunnel actually leads to the inner courtyard of the imperial city. If it is used by thieves, it will be a big trouble."

"Guo An, with my order, you block all tunnel exits, blow up the excess passages, and leave only the key points. Guard them heavily and excavate secretly to see what is hidden under the Jade Capital City!"

Guo An hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, there is a strange place down there, it is very dangerous..."

"go a head."

Zhao Mian pinched his brows, waved his hand and said, "I'll figure this out."

"My lord, I obey the order!"

Guo An bowed his hands and stepped back.

After leaving Qionghua Palace, he turned to look at the candles that had not been extinguished and sighed at the night sky.

For the first time, he felt a little powerless...

…………

After Guo An left, there was silence in the hall for a long time.

After a long while, Zhao Mian picked up the letter, read it carefully for a while, and then said, "Luan Moyan, this is a serious matter. Who else in this court do you think you can trust?"

A trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the handsome young man next to him. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't dare to speak nonsense."

"snort!"

Zhao Mian shook his head, "The princes are all eyeing the throne. They all have great ambitions and little talent. They wish I would die soon..."

"Behind the ministers of the court are the noble families and country gentry from various states. When they learn about this, I am afraid they will immediately become ambitious..."

"There are also vassal kings from various places..."

"Don't tell me, I don't know who I can trust!"

The young chamberlain Luan Moyan lowered his head, his whole body was shaking and his face was pale.

This was the first time he saw Zhao Mian looking like this.

He knew the emperor's temper and was never willing to show weakness, even in front of Li Guiren.

After hearing these words,

Will my life be in danger...

Just when he was frightened, Zhao Mian suddenly said: "Go and invite Mr. Liu and Pei to the palace to discuss."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luan Moyan breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

In less than an hour, the two prime ministers Liu Ji and Pei Yuanshang arrived at Qionghua Hall.

Liu Ji is an old minister of the Zhu Kingdom, and Pei Yuanshang is a member of Zhongshushe. They can be said to be the leaders of the hundred officials.

"Your Majesty summoned you late at night, I don't know..."

"Don't worry, Luan Moyan, let's go get some food and drinks. Speaking of which, maybe it's been a long time since I last talked with my two beloved ladies at Bingzhuye..."

…………

It was getting slightly brighter before Pei Yuanshang returned from the palace.

The front door of his mansion was crowded with visitors all year round, and the carriages filled with gifts almost occupied the entire street.

Especially when the Autumn Zao Festival is approaching, people start queuing up in the middle of the night.

Pei Yuanshang's sedan entered from the side door.

After stepping out of the sedan chair, he looked at the morning sun in the distance. He didn't move for a long time, only feeling a little dazed in his mind.

There is no other reason. What I heard last night was too bizarre.

"Oh, aren't you entering the palace? Why do you smell like drunk? Come here, let me change my clothes..."

Mrs. Li had been waiting for a long time, complaining and making arrangements, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty summoned you late at night, but what happened?"

Only then did Pei Yuanshang come to his senses and said with a cold face: "How many times have I told you not to inquire about the affairs of the court!"

After saying that, he said thoughtfully: "You told me some time ago that a stranger came to your home in Cangzhou?"

Li frowned and said, "Didn't I send someone to reprimand the clan members not to associate with those people?"

Pei Yuanshang was silent for a moment, "Ask Pei Zhong to come to my study."

After saying that, he strode towards the study.

Half an hour later, a man disguised himself, left through a secret passage, left Yujing City, and headed straight to Cangzhou...

At the same time, there are also people in the palace whose whereabouts are mysterious. A sealed letter is transmitted through various channels to the deep palace compound in the city and the prince's mansion...

………………

Boom, boom, boom!

In Anzhenfang courtyard, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Biao hid the copied book before leaving the courtyard and opening the wooden door.

"I've met Brother Zhang."

The person who came was none other than Yu Ziqing. He was dressed in a green robe and was obviously high-spirited. He cupped his hands and said, "Didn't Brother Zhang ask me to find a reliable craftsman? This Yang Zhuan is my senior brother and a famous craftsman in Nancheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man beside him cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I've heard of Brother Zhang's name for a long time."

"You two, please come in."

Zhang Biao smiled slightly and invited the two of them into the hospital.

As he walked, he said: "It is not advisable to drink tea on an empty stomach early in the morning. After I have tidied up, I will prepare something for you. Let's go to Guangfu Tower for breakfast."

"Not urgent."

Yang Zhuo bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Brother Zhang was also a famous expert in the six sects. Our identity is not a secret. Some things should be stated in advance to avoid hurting the harmony."

Zhang Biao smiled and said: "Of course you know about the Gate of Heaven and Earth. To be honest, ordinary craftsmen can't do my job."

Yang Zhuan understood instantly, "Brother Zhang wants to build a secret room? It's easy to find craftsmen from other places, but the cost of sealing it is not cheap..."

Yujing City stipulates that secret rooms are not allowed to be dug privately.

But rules are dead, and people are alive. The rich and powerful families in Beijing have privately built secret rooms, and there are countless people digging tunnels.

Those high-ranking officials naturally have groups of servants, and Jianghu gangs also have many people.

As for small households with few people, they can only choose to hire craftsmen.

But ordinary craftsmen dare not take this job, and some even dare to go to Jingzhao Mansion to report it.

Only the foreign craftsmen who hang out in the rivers and lakes dare to repair anything. Anyway, after taking the money, they will stay away from the capital.

After thinking about this, Yang Zhuo immediately relaxed his vigilance and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."

He thought Zhang Biao was preparing to do some illegal business after leaving Liumen.

If this kind of thing is done, it is probably not done carefully by the court.

Zhang Biao smiled slightly but didn't point it out.

He had already seen that underground secret room, and all the passages to the outside world had collapsed, but the area was really not small, and it was really impossible for one person to do it.

As for the issue of confidentiality, there is a psychedelic mirror to help.

Putting down their guard against each other, the three of them went to Guangfu Tower in nearby Fangshi to have breakfast and chat about some anecdotes about the world.

Zhang Biao is very skilled, Yu Ziqing and Yang Zuo deliberately fawn over each other, and the atmosphere becomes more harmonious.

Boom!

At this moment, a muffled sound came.

Yu Ziqing stood up suddenly in fright, "Did the earth dragon turn over?"

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

The vibration came from underground. The tunnel in Yujing City has been discovered. The imperial court should be blowing up the tunnel.

After all, this tunnel has an exit leading directly to the imperial city.

Judging from yesterday's situation, the skeleton camp has also been discovered. I wonder how the court will respond.

After eating breakfast and saying goodbye to the two of them, Zhang Biao hurried to Fengyifang.

Along the way, people were talking in various cities and towns. Feeling the vibration in the ground, they couldn't help but talk about it.

Zhang Biao was more certain of his judgment.

At the same time, I was also a little worried. Although the passage between the secret room and the outside world had collapsed, if these guys focused on destroying the exit, they would be in trouble.

Arriving at the abandoned Taoist temple, he followed the dry well into the underground. A seven-meter-high empty cave suddenly appeared in front of him, filled with decaying wooden carts and earthen jars.

Zhang Biao was relieved after seeing it.

At the same time, he also wanted to understand the reason.

In this Jade Capital City tunnel, many exits lead to temples, Taoist temples, common people's wells, and royal residences.

If they were to be destroyed one by one, it would not only make a lot of noise, but also cause a lot of commotion.

It would be easier to blow up the passage directly.

After leaving the secret cave, Zhang Biao was about to go home and continue sorting out the classics. However, the comments of the people in Fengyifang caught his attention.

"Have you heard? Lists have been published outside the Imperial City and in the Western City. The Emperor wants to summon strange people to the court..."
