Reincarnation of the powerful minister

In the middle of the night, the gate of the palace was locked tightly, and teams of Habayashi guards patrolled the imperial city with torches in their hands, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The sound of horseshoes echoed layer by layer in the alleyway, and a team of dozens of guards galloped forward.Guard Habayashi, the gatekeeper, saw the armors on the knights from a distance, and raised his voice and asked, "But the young master is back?"

The leading red-maned horse seemed to be faster than his words, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye, and the firelight illuminated Zhu Helin's young and vigorous face. "It's the young master, open the door quickly." He answered in person.

Seeing that there was another person on the prince's horse, the guards were stunned and recognized that the rider was Lord Su Yansu.This is a celebrity in front of the imperial court and a frequent visitor to the palace, so the guards were not surprised, so they went to call Chief Secretary Yao over.

Not long after, the gate of the palace opened.Zhu Helin flicked the reins and wanted to continue riding the horse. The guard chief clasped his fists: "Master, you must dismount when entering the forbidden gate."

Zhu Helin said: "I have a very urgent matter to see my father, so I will not be an example."

The guard insisted: "The palace rules are hard to break, please forgive me."

Zhu Helin said angrily: "I said I have something important to do, and I can't delay it for a moment. Later, my father will blame me, and I will bear it myself!" As he spoke, he whipped the horse's buttocks, and rushed into the forbidden door.

The guards of the Eastern Palace behind did not dare to follow suit, dismounted obediently, and quickly chased after him.

The guard watched helplessly as the prince rode away.

It was not until the palace gate outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation that Zhu Helin got off his horse.Su Yan said with some guilt: "If you break into the palace tonight, you will bring trouble on the young master and get scolded."

Zhu Helin said: "Are you talking about those courtiers? I don't care. I used to be playful and tired of learning, so it was fine to be scolded. Now that I am doing business, I will whip anyone who dares to scold me. You say, I can do it well." right?"

Su Yan laughed: "Yes, this is called haste, whoever scolds you, I will help you... impeach him."

While talking, the two walked across the square and walked up the steps quickly.Su Yan recognized Duo Gui'er as the servant who was guarding the night outside the palace gate, so he called out, "Duo Gonggong, please inform the emperor that His Royal Highness is asking to see Su Yan."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Jing Long was reading the latest battle reports from the border town of Datong. When he heard that the two were begging for an audience, he said without raising his head, "The crown prince will mess around, but Su Yan won't mess around with you. See you late at night. There must be something urgent." , let them in."

Duo Gui'er made a promise, bowed and stepped back to deliver the order.The emperor suddenly changed his mind again, and said to Lan Xi: "Go, just bring Su Yan in, and let the crown prince wait outside."

Outside the palace gate, Lan Xi delivered the emperor's oral order.Zhu Helin was annoyed and aggrieved, Su Yan shook his arm, and only said: "Be safe and don't be impatient."

It was just a very common sentence, but for some reason, Zhu Helin's heart suddenly calmed down, and he held Su Yan's hand instead: "Don't worry."

Su Yan nodded, followed Lan Xi into the palace door with the box in his arms.

"It's the hour of the day, and the emperor hasn't fallen asleep yet, how is the saint doing well recently?" He asked Lan Xi in a low voice.

Lan Xi smiled and shook his whisk: "Why doesn't Su Shaoqing ask in person?"

Bringing Su Yan to the inner hall, he withdrew knowingly, and signaled to the other palace people to also retreat.

"My humble minister Su Yan, long live my emperor. I know that breaking into the palace late at night is a serious crime, but because I have something urgent—"

The emperor put down the military newspaper and waved to Su Yan: "Come here."

Su Yan's words were interrupted, he was startled, and said again: "I have..."

"Come here." The emperor emphasized his tone, "Put the things here, come here."

Su Yan had no choice but to go forward and put the box in his hand on the imperial case.The emperor pulled him into his arms, sniffed the heat from his neck, and said, "The hair is still wet, did you get in the rain?"

"No, I just took a bath." Su Yan moved uncomfortably, "My lord, I really have something important to report."

"You say, I listen."

"But so..."

"So you can't speak?" The emperor asked him back, "Or, whether there are outsiders present or not, you have to follow the rules and distinguish between superiority and inferiority when facing me?"

What he said, he clearly sat there with an awe-inspiring and inviolable imperial majesty, but he was dissatisfied that he was too polite and seemed alienated.Su Yan grumbled a little in his heart, relaxed his tense nerves, and spoke more casually: "Tonight is too dangerous, the young master and the minister almost put their lives in it..."

With this posture of reclining on the dragon chair, Su Yan explained the matter back and forth in a few words.Emperor Jing Long wrapped his arms around his back and held his shoulders the whole time. Although his face was calm, his fingers tightened from time to time when he said the key points.

In the end Su Yan said: "That's why I made my own decision and planned to surround the two marquis' mansions first, so as to prevent Mr. He from getting separated from the leader of the Seven Killing Camp, and at the same time enter the palace to ask the emperor for an imperial edict."

"You want to raid the Wei family?"

"The emperor's words are serious. He only wanted to arrest the criminals who fled into the Marquis's residence. Of course, after being arrested and interrogated, what accomplices will be confessed by the criminals is another matter." Su Yan smiled slyly.

The emperor pondered for a while, and said, "Show me that golden book and iron coupon."

The box was at the corner of the table. Su Yan leaned over to get it, but when he sat back on the chair, he tilted his body and accidentally sat on the dragon's leg.

The emperor snorted slightly.

Su Yan thought he was too heavy, so he was pressing down on the dragon body, and was in a hurry to get up, but the emperor grabbed his waist and couldn't move.The emperor reached out from behind, took the iron coupon, and looked carefully at the light.Encircled by the emperor's two arms, Su Yan felt like a baby sitting on his lap, and blushed in embarrassment.

He embarrassingly tried to slip down from the dragon's legs: "My lord, it's important..."

The emperor patted his butt as a warning: "It's just talking about business. It's awkward, sit down."

Su Yan sensed the danger and froze, not daring to move.

"It is indeed a gift from Taizu. It seems that even if Mr. He is not the current vacuum leader, he has a lot to do with it."

"However, after Emperor Taizu gave Wen Xiang the Golden Book and Iron Coupon, why did he kill him?"

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later when I have time." The emperor put the iron coupon aside, then inspected the other items in the box, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a string of golden and red phoenix necklaces.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy.He dumped the contents of the box on the table, and picked out a roll of Gaoligong paper that was not used in the palace.

The scroll was unrolled, and on it was a beautiful double edited picture of the King Ming and the Concubine Ming.The expressions and movements are lifelike, and the privacy and details are fully revealed. It is really like a holy pestle smashed into the jade mortar, and a divine sword splits the twin peaks.

Even Su Yan was stunned at this moment - he walked in a hurry before and didn't have time to examine all the items in the box carefully. Who knows that Mr. He still collects little yellow pictures?He presented it to the emperor in such a bold manner, does it count as defilement?

There is a line below the portrait:

"Da Nikhing Shu Nine" said: "If a man and a woman rendezvous, the seeds of karma are entrusted to the womb and remain intact, that is to add and uphold righteousness." What does it mean? Mr. Wan Wang enlightened me.

"Who is this asking Mr. He for the interpretation of scriptures? But why do I feel weird..." Su Yan muttered.

The emperor seemed to want to crush the paper for a moment, his fingers twitched, and he swept it to the ground in disgust.Then he hugged the courtier sitting on his lap tightly, almost strangling him.

Su Yan was a little surprised, but neither screamed nor struggled.Because from the emperor's sudden and violent movements and heavy and depressed breathing, he felt the anger hidden deep in his body.

"My lord?" he asked in a low voice.

The emperor took a deep breath, relaxed, and said indifferently: "This is Wei's handwriting."

Su Yan suddenly understood.I don't know if this imperial concubine Wei is blinded by dog ​​shit or obsessed with ghosts, she not only draws a little yellow picture to ask for love, but also leaves a message to give a monkey, and the other party is also the leader of a cult that will bring disaster to the country and the people, and a criminal wanted by the court... There is a concubine like this, no matter to her Isn't it a great shame for a man to not care about his heart?What's more, this man is still the emperor above ten thousand people.

Su Yan felt that the emperor should be angry at this moment, but the source of the anger did not seem to be at this point, so there was a contemptuous indifference in his tone.

He felt a little distressed, so he touched the emperor's back and comforted him: "If you want to live a decent life... no. There is nothing wrong with being a man... no. That's, uh..."

Su Yan racked his brains to think that all his usual eloquence had failed, and he was so anxious that a little sweat broke out from the tip of his nose.The emperor looked down at him, kissed the tip of his nose, and said, "I've accepted it. Don't worry, I will deal with it myself."

"Leave the casket here, and I'll exchange it with you for something." The emperor kissed the tip of his nose again, couldn't hold it back, put his lips together, and kissed each other breathlessly. Said, "You come to grind ink for me."

Su Yan obediently said "Yes", and slid down the dragon's knee to get the inkstone and ink stick.

The emperor personally wrote the decree on the colored silk, and when he was done, he used the seal and handed it to Su Yan, saying: "In addition to Jin Yiwei, I will send another thousand Tengxiang Guards, and you will lead the team to take down Mr. He and the leader of the Qisha camp. Take him to imperial prison. Whoever dares to stop the Wei family will be punished for resisting the order."

Su Yan was a little surprised: "The minister leads the team?"

"To apprehend the criminals in this case, you, the task force leader, should go out." After a pause, the emperor said again, "However, I asked you to command from the rear, not to charge forward, remember!"

Su Yan said with a smile: "Even if I want to charge, I don't have the ability."

He rolled up the imperial decree carefully and put it in his arms, and asked again: "Is the emperor planning to clean up the Wei family without letting go?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and didn't answer directly. He just said: "Just take your criminal, and I will deal with the aftermath. In fact, I don't take the Wei family seriously at all. What is really worth being afraid of is..."

Su Yan boldly asked: "The Queen Mother?"

The emperor glanced at him, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes.

He hurriedly shut up, thinking that the emperor would not continue this sensitive topic, but unexpectedly the other party did not shy away from it, although the answer was somewhat ambiguous: "Yes, and no. We can discuss this matter later, you can go."

Su Yan bowed his hands and retreated. Just as he turned around, the emperor asked coldly, "Why is your mouth broken again?"

The word "you" is very subtle, not only has the rhetorical effect of echoing back and forth, one chanting three sighs, but also reflects the complicated emotions of the parties concerned who are dissatisfied in suspicion, warning in dissatisfaction, and hidden murderous intent behind the warning. The key points of the test... Su Yan shuddered, drove the unrestrained associations out of his mind, and replied innocently: "I fell when the Yishan Bureau was attacked."

The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth, and while waving his hand to tell him to get out, he asked him to call in the brat outside the palace gate along the way.

Su Yan realized that the emperor did not want the prince involved in this matter.

That's right, the prince led troops to search the second prince's mother's family, not only with the intention of taking personal revenge, but also with the suspicion of mutilating siblings, which is not clear.

After leaving the palace gate, Zhu Helin grasped Su Yan's arm, looked him up and down carefully, then leaned into his ear and gritted his teeth and asked, "Why is your mouth so red and swollen? Did your father do something to you, honestly?" Confess!"

Su Yan glared at him: "Can it be broken without inflammation? Can inflammation not be red and swollen? Whose fault is this?"

"...Anyway, whoever is wrong is not my fault." Zhu Helin murmured.

Su Yan slapped him on the back and pushed him into the palace door: "Your father told you, go quickly."

"Then you—" Zhu Helin still wanted to pull him.

Su Yan had already walked down the steps quickly, and said: "The case is handled according to the order, and I will resign."

Xian'an Hou Mansion.

In order to save Ruan Hongjiao, Gao Shuo and other three Jinyiwei spies fought with Mr. He, which alarmed the guards of the Hou Mansion.

So Gao Shuo led his men to withdraw first, and the other two spies also found a gap to escape after fighting.The pursuit of the guards on horseback and the warning of the gong sounded the warning, which made the whole Xian'anhou mansion jump up and down, and even Feng'anhou's mansion, which was a street away, heard the movement.

The camp owner of the Seven Kills had to spend a little more effort to sneak into the guest room where Mr. He was staying, avoiding the guards' eyes and ears.

Mr. He just refused the steward's offer to invite a doctor for him, and kept the door behind closed doors on the pretext of being frightened.

When the camp owner came in from the smashed hole in the roof, Mr. He was taking off his clothes and looking at the knife wound on his back shoulder in the mirror.

The injury was not serious. There was a bloody gash seven or eight inches long, and there was no poison on the blade, which could be dealt with by ordinary gold sore medicine. "Brother Lian, please pass me the second medicine bottle from the left on the shelf." He said without looking up.

The camp owner stretched out a hand in a black leather sheath from the sleeve of his robe, and with a flick of his fingertips, the medicine bottle slammed into the back of Mr. He's head.

Mr. He stretched out his hand, his five fingers twirled like flowers, and his true energy turned into gravity to suck the medicine bottle in his palm.

The camp owner mocked in a non-male and non-female voice: "Such a high level, to be hurt by Xiaoxiao's hands is really a disaster."

Mr. He put his hands on his back shoulder, sprinkled the powder in the bottle on the wound, and said indifferently: "Yu Kong has a whole body of true energy, but his skills are weak and he is not good at moves. You already know that, so why bother to sarcasm now."

The camp owner asked, "Who attacked you?"

Mr. He replied: "Judging from the number of saber techniques, it should be Jinyiwei."

The battalion owner frowned under the mask: "Jinyiwei touched the Xian'anhou mansion? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it's time to move."

After sprinkling the powder, Mr. He picked up the gauze strips on the table and wrapped them diagonally around the wound on his shoulder and back. When she kept her mouth shut, she was disturbed by these Jinyi guards and even stole my box."

...Is this not going well?It's just as bad as hell!The camp owner became annoyed when he heard his calm tone, and when he thought about how he kept all the messy things in the box, and would take them out every now and then to get intoxicated, he suddenly felt a slap in the face In his head, he went back to the urge to apologize to the Lord.

After bandaging the wound, Mr. He stood up and straightened his clothes. His eyes glanced at the camp owner's large red robe, and he seemed to see through something. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Have you suffered an internal injury? The entire capital city can hurt you. Count. It seems that tonight is destined to be difficult, and I am afraid that there will be another wave of unrest."

The camp owner clenched his fists hidden under his sleeves and lowered his voice: "Then why don't you evacuate immediately and wait for people to block the door?"

Mr. He washed his hands in the copper basin, and said calmly, "I'm waiting for a respondent."
