my wife is mulan

"I think, if I manage my errands well, do the things my father asked me to do well, and get my father's affirmation, people will come to join me! Besides, once there are more people on the prince's side, Others will not be reused even if they take refuge in the past, but if they take refuge in me, they are likely to be reused, so Uncle Fan does not have to worry that I have no one to help, just watch, after a while, there will definitely be someone Come!"

Zhuo Bufan thought for a while, bowed his hands to Zhao Pingping and said: "It seems that His Highness has already made up his mind, and this subordinate is worrying too much!"

"No, no, Uncle Fan is thinking about me. If I do anything wrong in the future, please remind Uncle Fan!"

"Subordinates obey!"

"By the way, Your Highness, I received news that You Xiaowei suddenly made a big move last night to blockade the area around Xingyuanfang, and arrested many people from there. There were also many people arrested in Chang'an City last night. I inquired about it. It turns out that there is an underground black market in Xingyuanfang, and there are rumors that the underground black market is controlled by a Roman!"

Zhao Ping frowned and said, "There is an underground black market in Xingyuanfang? How could I not know about this?"

Zhuo Bufan cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, you are separated like a mountain! You are doing big things, and the inspectors of the imperial city are treason, conspiracy, and secret agents of enemy countries. Naturally, you don't know the underground forces controlled by some local tyrants in Chang'an City!"

Zhao Ping's tone was a little displeased: "Chang'an is where my Dagan country is located. How can we allow such underground evil forces to harm the people? Why don't the Jinwu Guard and the county government ignore it?"

Zhuo Bufan shook his head: "Your Highness, do you think that all these local ruffians and bullies have been caught? If they haven't committed any serious crimes, they will be released soon even if they are caught. The government will destroy this batch, and the other batch will soon It will pop up! These small miscellaneous fish can only find a way to control them, so as not to let them grow up and cause great damage to the current order!"

Zhao Ping asked: "A Roman controls an underground black market in the city of Chang'an. Does he have astonishing force or wisdom? Otherwise, can he gain a firm foothold here and control so many people?"

"Someone must be backing him. I heard that Mao Xiuzhi was behind the Roman, but I can't prove it!"

Zhao Ping was very puzzled. Since the underground black market in Xingyuanfang had existed for many years, the Romans who controlled the underground black market had Mao Xiuzhi as their backer. Not to mention opening up some relationships, at least there were eyeliners in every law enforcement office in the capital. The guards were dispatched on a large scale, so how could the Romans not get the news?

Also, even if the government wanted to attack the underground black market in Xingyuanfang, why did they choose to do it on the night of the first day of the new year?All this is very strange!Could it be that a certain bigwig in the court wants to attack Mao Xiu?

Zhao Ping thought for a while, and said to Zhuo Bufan: "Don't worry about this matter, Uncle Fan, I'll let the Imperial City Division send someone to investigate secretly!"

"promise!"

East Palace, shooting range.

"Dole!" A sharp arrow hit the bull's-eye, and Prince Zhao Dong lowered his bow sixty steps away.

Prince Xima Zhongli Bei walked over quickly, clapping his hands as he walked: "Your Highness has improved a lot in archery!"

"It's still too far away!"

Zhao Dong shook his head, turned his head and asked, "Have you checked it out?"

Zhong Libei cupped his hands: "I found out, it should be His Majesty's order! Last night someone held the soldier talisman given by His Majesty and mobilized the right Xiaowei!"

"Who is the one holding the soldier talisman?"

"I don't know, and the people from You Xiaowei don't know either. It is said that the man was wearing a bamboo hat at that time, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but the soldier talisman is not fake!"

Zhao Dong thought about it, and said in a low voice: "What is it that made the emperor order to mobilize You Xiaowei to eradicate an underground black market?"

Zhong Libei cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, I think that His Majesty must not want more people to know that those people must have done something that violated taboos, otherwise, His Majesty only needs a verbal order, and Chang'an County and Jinwu Guard can do it." We wiped out those people, but this time we directly dispatched You Xiaowei, obviously for the sake of keeping secrets. It seems that His Majesty is trying to cover up something. If we continue to investigate, once His Majesty finds out, the consequences will be disastrous! "

Zhao Dong nodded, "By the way, where are those people from the black market who were arrested now? And those who were arrested later, where are they all?"

"They were all executed, and the bodies were buried in secret. This is the news that my subordinate found an acquaintance of You Xiaowei and spent a lot of money to find out!"

"Hiss..." Zhao Dong gasped, and immediately said: "This is the end of this matter, tell others, anyone must touch this matter again!"

"promise!"

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Junsheng brought Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong to Huaqing Pool.

This Huaqing Pool is at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and hot springs gushes out from the ground all the year round. Since it was discovered, the royal families of all dynasties have used it as a sanctuary from the cold.

After the Dagan Empire moved its capital to Chang'an, the Ministry of Industry built a palace here. After a special design, the terrain and buildings were used to lock the temperature of the underground hot springs, making it like spring all year round.

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and Wan Yutong were soaking in the pool, and the steaming heat was very comfortable, when a palace lady came in and reported: "Your Majesty, I am waiting for an audience with Jia Yue, the deputy minister of the lawsuit!"

Zhao Junsheng originally asked Jia Yue to report behind the screen, thinking that what Jia Yue reported might involve King Jing Zhao Ting, and Hua Mulan was here, and it would be troublesome for her to hear it, so he got up and wrapped himself in a bathrobe and said: "You go soak first, I'll go out first!"

Chapter 1082 Secret report from Huaqing Pool

There is geothermal heat and hot steam in the hot spring room, and the temperature is much higher than outside. Zhao Junsheng walked out of the hot spring wearing a bathrobe. An eunuch stood by and waited for Zhao Junsheng to come out and immediately put the fur on him. He came to the outer hall, A fire of charcoal was burning in the fireplace.

Jia Yue, who had been waiting for a while, immediately bowed down: "Chen Jia Yue sees Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng wrapped himself in a fur and got on the kang. A small stove next to him was boiling water. The water in the kettle was boiling. The lady in the palace opposite was about to make tea. Zhao Junsheng waved to him: "You guys Go down first!"

"No!" The eunuchs and maids all backed out.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Jia Yue, and while making tea, he asked, "Jia Sizheng, get up and talk, why are you chasing me to Huaqing Palace so eagerly?"

Jia Yue settled down, he must always remind himself that being with the king is like a tiger, no matter how favored or trusted by the emperor, he must not be casual in front of the emperor at any time, and must maintain enough respect and humility.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have two main things to report when I come to see you this time. One of them is more urgent. Waiting for the lawsuit is your majesty's trump card to monitor the world. Because of its special function, it cannot be revealed in front of others. The reason for Tanzhi is almost exposed. Now Wang Tanzhi and other people are still absconding, but they know too many secrets waiting for the lawsuit, especially the location of the headquarters and various branches and the contact information of the spies. , I have sent an order to abolish all previous contact methods, and replace a set of emergency temporary contact methods! In order to avoid greater losses, I suggest that the headquarters and various branches be transferred immediately, and some key positions should be replaced. Gang!"

"In addition, the minister also suggested a strict review and screening of the officials waiting for the lawsuit. Anyone who had a close relationship with Wang Tanzhi in the past will be transferred from the original post first, and then a more detailed review will be conducted!"

After listening, Zhao Junsheng said: "I agree to transfer the headquarters and branches of the pending lawsuit, but the review and screening are too strong, which will easily cause internal panic and is not conducive to unity! Although Wang Tanzhi has failed me, but I I believe that the vast majority of officials, internal staff and all external staff in the waiting lawsuit are still loyal to me! Reviews and screenings are fine, but they can’t be done in the open. We can only conduct secret investigations first, and only when problems are found can they be formally summoned for review. I also want to point out one more point, regardless of the relationship between some people in the lawsuit and Wang Tanzhi before, as long as these people did not inform him or contact him after the arrest warrant was issued, they have drawn a clear line with him. , no one can hold on to this matter anymore, you choose some reliable people to do this matter!"

"You cannot die during an interrogation. Only when the crime is clarified can execution be carried out!"

Jia Yue bowed: "I understand!"

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea and looked up: "Is there anything else?"

Jia Yue said: "There is obviously something wrong with King Jing's dossier. I suspect that the torn page may have recorded the frequent contacts between Wang Tanzhi and some court ministers and King Jing, otherwise Wang Tanzhi would have no need to Doing this at the risk of being suspected! Also, the records at the back of the dossier seem too clean. The minister thinks this is abnormal, and suspects that a spy named Ren Jiu who was placed next to King Jing has been exposed to Jing by Wang Tanzhi. Wang, King Jing has learned of Ren Jiu's identity, and by means of coercion, bribery, etc., Ren Jiu should have betrayed!"

"A few days ago, I sent someone to investigate Ren Jiu, and found that all of Ren Jiu's family members had moved away and were nowhere to be found! In addition, in recent months, except for delivering news to the waiting court, Ren Jiu seldom went out. The palace, he is one of Prince Jing's personal attendants, he should go wherever Prince Jing goes, how could he stay in Prince Jing's mansion all the time? This only shows one point, he has been covering for Prince Jing, waiting for the lawsuit Report the wrong message!"

"Therefore, I sent people to execute the family law of waiting for the lawsuit against Ren Jiu. I also want to use this incident to scare the snakes. Now I am afraid that Prince Jing will also send people to look for Wang Tanzhi everywhere. I believe Prince Jing has more methods than ministers, and maybe he can find Wang Tanzhi before waiting for the lawsuit!"

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Well, it's a good job! You can't relax on King Jing's side, let me check how many officials King Jing has, and how many ministers and officials have been punished. His coercion has to be driven by him!"

"I understand, but I'm afraid this matter cannot be done in a short period of time. After what happened to Wang Tanzhi, Prince Jing will definitely become very careful and will not easily contact those court ministers and officials who are under his control! Finding an opportunity to start with the people in Prince Jing's mansion is much better than sending people to follow day and night!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Okay, let's leave it at that, is there anything else?"

Jia Yue took out a roster from his bosom and presented it: "Your Majesty, this is the detailed statistics of the power in the hands of the prince in the waiting lawsuit. The officials whose names are written in red pen have basically confirmed their allegiance to the prince. The official whose name is written in the pen basically maintains a good relationship with the prince!"

"On the side of the King of Shu, nothing has been discovered, and he rarely takes the initiative to make friends with ministers and generals. However, in the past two days, several officials have visited the King of Shu. I found the King of Shu!"

"According to the investigation of the secret agents of the court, the Xingyuan Society, which organized the underground black market in Xingyuanfang, which was wiped out by You Xiaowei a few days ago, was secretly supported by the supervisor of the Taifu and Mao Xiuzhi, the Marquis of Guangping. The head of the Xingyuan Society It is a Roman named Constantine. According to investigations, this person pays [-]% of the profit to Mao Xiushang every month. In addition, he also manages the Zuo Jinwu Guard, the county government, and the bad handsome.”

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his chin and looked at Jia Yue: "Underground forces like the Xingyuan Society are cancers of Chang'an City. If they are not covered by the government and big figures, they will not be able to exist for a long time. It stands to reason that they should have been watching the lawsuit for a long time. Why did you wait until Xing Yuanhui was wiped out by You Xiaowei before reporting to me?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, waiting for the lawsuit has always been to monitor the officials secretly. Although the ministers and others understand that Xingyuan will definitely be covered by officials and important figures, this important figure who supports him has not been detected until You Xiaowei. When a large number of soldiers and horses were dispatched to encircle and suppress Xingyuanhui, Constantine sent his confidantes to venture out to seek help from Mao Xiuzhi in desperation, and Mao Xiuzhi surfaced!"

It was already the ninth day of the first lunar month when Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and Wan Yutong returned to Chang'an City from Huaqing Palace.

The next day, Zhao Junsheng announced Mao Xiuzhi's audience.
