emperor and dragon

Chapter 3

On the morning of the third day, Long Rui still did not follow Xue Chan.After all, Xue Chan has just chosen a concubine, and Long Rui, who is embarrassing, should avoid suspicion during this period.

Therefore, Long Rui left the palace without telling Xue Chan.

Xue Chan gave Long Rui a token before, and whenever he sees this token, he should let him go, that is to say, he gave Long Rui the right to move freely.

And the person Long Rui wanted to find on this trip was Meng Yumeng Qingyun, the son of the minister of the Ministry of Punishment mentioned earlier.

Yesterday Long Rui secretly ordered Xiao Shunzi to send someone to check Meng Yu's location for today's trip.

At this moment, Meng Yu is in the Meng Mansion, and Meng Yu read the letter sent by Xue Chan that day, and it took him a day to sort out his thoughts.When he was about to go out to find some clues, the guard outside the door said that someone asked to see him.

When Meng Yu came to the main hall, he saw a tall man in a long robe standing in the center of the hall, as if heaven and earth were one with him.

"Under Meng Yu, my father is not here. How dare I ask Your Excellency?"

"No, the purpose of my trip is you. It's better if no one else is here." Long Rui looked into Meng Yu's eyes.

"Then, what are you talking about?" Meng Yu cupped his hands.From Long Rui's point of view, Meng Yu's demeanor, etiquette, and wording can be regarded as comprehensive, meeting his requirements.Long Rui didn't just regard Meng Yu as the person in charge of an investigation.What's more, Long Rui wanted to train Meng Yu to become someone who could support the entire dynasty in his place, for example - prime minister.

Xue Chan didn't know this purpose, although Xue Chan could figure it out if he thought about it seriously, but Xue Chan who believed too much in Long Rui would not think about it, nor would he question Long Rui.In Xue Chan's view, Long Rui is someone who will never betray him.

"Have you received the emperor's secret letter?"

Meng Yu immediately became nervous, and began to really look at the person in front of him carefully.After sizing it up, Meng Yu discovered that this person was none other than the notorious demon of the Lord of Deception, the former Grand Tutor—Long Rui.

But Meng Yu, who is relatively familiar with the situation in the palace, knows that this man named Long Rui is the real right-hand man of the Holy Majesty today.

"May I ask Master Long for any advice?"

Long Rui looked at Meng Yu appreciatively. He was able to find the right position so quickly. This Meng Yu was not an easy person.

"I'll give you a hint and some requirements. First, the culprit is an official of the third rank or higher. Second, during the investigation, I ask you to find out which ones can be reused, which ones can be used, and which ones can't be used in the court. Three, this matter must not be mentioned with your father."

"Why?" Meng Yu originally intended to ask his father the solution, but at this moment, Long Rui asked himself not to tell.

"Your father has lived in the court for a long time, regardless of whether he is corrupt or not. Whether his cronies are really trustworthy is a big hidden danger. Besides, you must have guessed that the emperor's move is to promote you and designate you as his exclusive wing. , if you seek help from others, you will disappoint the Holy One.”

Long Rui didn't have any taboo to say these things. The purpose of his trip was first to confirm Meng Yu's character, and second, to prevent Meng Yu from telling others.

If told, the original secret investigation will fall short.

Long Rui never told Xue Chan, but after his secret investigation, he already guessed the culprit of instigation.But Long Rui couldn't say that, he knew that if he revealed the truth too early, not only would it be difficult to eradicate it, but he might even be bitten back.Furthermore, these timings are really conducive to Xue Chan's real possession of his own power.

Meng Yu personally sent Long Rui away.Looking at Long Rui's back, Meng Yu really understood what it means to be unreliable in rumors.Maybe this person is really the so-called male favorite, but he is definitely not the male favorite of the Lord.Because if it is the male favorite of Huozhu, it is impossible for this man to do what he did two years ago, that is, before he ascended the throne.

It is said that before he ascended the throne, this man named Long Rui single-handedly killed Xue Chan's deadly enemy, the barracks of his elder brother, slaughtered 3 people overnight, and then retreated.

It was because the eldest prince reduced so much troops overnight that Xue Chan's number one general - Tang Tian won a complete victory.

Everyone said that Longrui deceived the Lord, but they all forgot his unrivaled military strength and outstanding political talent now in Meng Yu's eyes.At this time, Meng Yu understood why Xue Chan could win the world with only the strength of two people.With such a good talent, such a general, how can he be invincible.

When Long Rui returned to the imperial study, Xue Chan was no longer there.It must have turned the sign.I asked the maid at the side which concubine was serving the bed tonight, and the maid replied: Kong Zhaoyi.

Long Rui didn't respond, and waved away some attendants.

It was he who secretly ordered Xiao Shunzi to use some tricks to get Xue Chan to find Kong Xinting's sign.This is not only to appease the prime minister's family, but also to make the prime minister's family face hostility from all sides.It may not be obvious on the surface, there is always one party who can restrain him.

If that proud Kong Xinting made some gossip in the palace, then there would be more reasons to weaken the prime minister's power.

Long Rui sighed, it's just that the feeling of pushing the one he loves out with his own hands is really bad, but he has no choice, because this is already the best way.This is just the beginning of it all.The pain was also the slightest. Long Rui might not... collapse until he gave birth to a child, or fell in love with someone.

Nagasawa, it would be great if you were not an emperor, but just a child of an ordinary family.
