Lu Yunkui built an alchemy room for the monk in the palace.

The people arranged by Prime Minister Wang successfully found the monk in the alchemy room.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to take the monk to Yeting for interrogation, the monk bit his tongue and committed suicide.

The prince Lu Yuanqing invited Mo Qiushan, the leader of the Dark Night Division, into the palace and asked him to inquire about the past of the monk.

Mo Qiushan naturally knew that the monk was making elixirs for the emperor, and he immediately realized that there might be something wrong with the emperor.

Prince Lu Yuanqing did not hide anything from him and told Mo Qiushan that Emperor Mo Qiushan was infected with erysipelas, but only said that Dr. Wang was doing his best to detoxify, and did not reveal that the emperor had never woken up.

Since Ling Hanbing disappeared from Anyesi, Mo Qiushan had carried out a major purge, and the people who had placed Ling Hanbing in had basically eliminated Anyesi.

Anyesi actually has the files of most of the families in the capital city, and has always sent people to monitor the court officials.

Mo Qiushan returned to the palace only two hours after leaving, and met Lu Yuanqing in the newly established Zishi Hall.

Lu Yuanqingzheng discussed with Prime Minister Wang and Marquis Liyang the candidates for Zishi Hall, and then summoned Mo Qiushan to report.

Prime Minister Wang and Marquis Liyang also wanted to hear this matter together and did not avoid it.

According to Mo Qiu Shandao, this monk was previously the master of the Zhenwu Temple outside Shangjing City. He had refined elixirs for many nobles in the capital, among whom he had the closest relationship with King Kang.

It is reported that King Kang also took a lot of pills.

However, King Kang is now rosy and looking strong.

King Kang serves as the Zongzheng Temple Minister of the Lu family and is also the emperor's uncle. Although he has no right to interfere in government affairs except handling trivial affairs of the royal family, his status in Shangjing City is considered high.

It is no secret that King Kang admired Taoist health care.

Every year, Prince Kang's Mansion holds a ritual ceremony, banquets for guests, and performs for three to seven days.

The family members of the nobles in Beijing, including children, would give face to Prince Kang's house and join in the fun.

The first time Chu Tianjiao met Lu Yu, Lu Yuanqing, Wang Ting and others when they were young was at the Dharma gathering in Prince Kang's Mansion.

After Lu Yuanqing heard the result, he directly denied King Kang's suspicion: "Uncle King Kang knows this Taoist priest, so it's not surprising.

When my father ascended the throne, he received strong support from Prince Kang's uncle. His father had treated Prince Kang's palace well over the years. Prince Kang had no reason to harm his father! "

It's not that Lu Yunkui didn't have a son. Even if Lu Yunkui died, it would not be the turn of a side branch like Prince Kang to inherit the throne. On the surface, it seemed that Prince Kang had no reason to harm the emperor.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Mo Qiushan did not find out the relationship between the Ye family and the monk.

Prime Minister Wang suggested that An Yesi make a thorough investigation of Prince Kang's Mansion.

Marquis Liyang suddenly thought of the fact that Chu Tianjiao had mentioned that the Fang family's affairs were related to Prince Kang's Mansion.

Wu Shiyi, the Tianshui County magistrate who poisoned the Fang family of the "Fuyuanchang" bank account, was arranged by Prince Kang to be the county magistrate in Tianshui.

There was a fire in the Beijing branch of the "Fuyuanchang" ticket account more than ten years ago.

The fire destroyed all the account books of the bank.

It was the master of the Fang family who rushed to Beijing with the account books and money of the Tianshui headquarters to calm down the run.

This was a sensation back then.

On his way back to Ganzhou, Mr. Fang was intercepted and killed by bandits.

From then on, troubles continued for the Fang family, until Chu Tianjiao came to Ganzhou to serve as state shepherd, and found out that Wu Shiyi, the magistrate of Tianshui County, poisoned the Fang family.

Li Yanghou told the case.

Wu Shiyi and his daughter have been executed, but the original confession is still there.

Marquis Liyang suggested: "Whether there is any suspicion in Prince Kang's Mansion, we have to investigate to find out. I suggest Commander Mo investigate whether the case of the "Fuyuanchang" branch in Beijing that caught fire more than ten years ago has anything to do with Prince Kang's Mansion.

Not sure, there will be unexpected gains. "

Mo Qiushan had to take Li Yanghou's words seriously and promised to follow this line and investigate carefully.

Marquis Li Yang came out of the palace very late and returned to the Marquis Mansion.

Uncle Wu Ning had already brought several veterans and was waiting at the Hou Mansion, and Chu Ye was drinking tea and talking with them.

Changshan Bo Xue Gui, who has passed his sixtieth birthday this year, was carried into the Hou Mansion on a chair.

The Xue family has followed the Liyang Marquis Mansion for generations, and has produced many generals. The current governor of Jiangnan Province, Xue Changsheng, is Xue Gui's nephew.

"Uncle Xue, my nephew has been rude and worked hard for you. Please don't be offended, Uncle Xue!"

Xue Gui was helped to stand up by Chu Ye, walked over tremblingly, grabbed Li Yanghou's hand and said:

"Niece, you can still think of me, but it's too late for me to be happy!

The old man has been plagued by injuries and illnesses over the years, and he was not even able to visit the old man on his death anniversary. The old man felt miserable!

Just now, that boy Zheng Batian has told us all about the current situation of the war.

My eldest nephew, as long as you need me, I can still take command and go on an expedition.

Although the old man can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy, he can still command the battle without any problem. "

The reason why Marquis Liyang invited Xue Gui to come was mainly to use the Xue family, but not to ask Xue Gui to go out in person.

But when I heard what Xue Gui said, I was still moved.

He helped Xue Gui sit back and then said: "Uncle Xue, how dare my nephew dare to work for you to go out to war now? My nephew wants to ask you to help me consult on the war situation, make plans, and sit in the city and Beijing."

Hearing what Marquis Li Yang said, Xue Gui was obviously a little disappointed.

After fighting for a lifetime, it was now difficult for him to even mount his horse. Xue Guiduo hoped to return to the battlefield. Even if he died on the battlefield, it would be better than lying in bed all day and waiting to die.

However, Xue Gui was still happy when Marquis Liyang asked him to sit in the capital and advise on the war situation.

"Eldest nephew, take out the map quickly and let's discuss it together!"

Jiang Ningbo Feng Hu was about the same age as Wu Ningbo. He had not led an army for many years after breaking his right arm on the battlefield.

He waved his remaining left arm and said: "Old Ghost Xue, don't be busy yet, my eldest nephew hasn't said anything about me yet!

Nephew, look at my hand. I can swing a sword freely now, no worse than my right hand back then.

Let me lead the troops, whether it's to the northwest or the south! "

Feng Hu's son Feng Bao is now serving as the general of southern Hunan and is stationed at Fenghuang Pass in southern Hunan. Marquis Liyang happened to ask him about the southern border.

"Feng Shibo, did Abao mention the southern border defense in his recent letters home? Is there anything unusual?"

Feng Hu thought for a while and then said: "I didn't say anything, but Abao kept complaining that there were only ten thousand people at Fenghuang Pass, and if Nanchu really came to attack one day, there would be no way to stop them."

Since there had been no military campaigns on the southern front for many years, Emperor Lu Yunkui returned the military power on the southern front to the imperial court and deployed it himself.

In recent years, the entire long southern border has only had a total of [-] troops stationed, guarding four states and more than a thousand miles of border.

On this border, there are not only Nanchu, but also Shanyue, as well as barbarians of various ethnic groups in the southwest.

Lu Yunkui was also lucky. These neighboring countries had all been wiped out in the past few decades. In the past ten years, civil strife has continued, so he and Li Guo can live in peace.

But now that the civil strife in Southern Chu has subsided and they can free up their hands to deal with Li Guo, the defense on the southern front is ineffective.

Several veterans asked Li Yanghou worriedly: "Is there really going to be a war on the southern front?"

Marquis Liyang nodded and affirmed: "Although there is no news now, I have a hunch that Nan Chu will definitely get involved this time.

I plan to immediately mobilize troops to strengthen the garrison on the southern front, but the most difficult thing now is that we have no troops to send. "
