The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

With Pei Ze in the middle as a guarantor, it was much easier for Xiao Yanzhi to persuade Xu Lishan to form an alliance than before, which made Xiao Yanzhi regret not putting Pei Ze in front of Xu Lishan sooner.

After persuading Xu Lishan, [-]% of the worries in Xiao Yanzhi's heart were relieved, and the remaining [-]% ​​could only be resigned to fate. He had done everything he could.

After the New Year's Eve, the emperor finally ordered Xiao Yanzhi to move to Shu Palace outside the palace, but Xiao Yanzhi only moved Lian Sheng, Xiushui and others, and he himself still lived in Wucheng Palace.

But after Xiao Yanzhi moved out of the palace, the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family were not often in Chang'an because they wanted to go all over the country with the Yan family caravan. This made Xiao Yanzhi a little disappointed. It's also comforting.

After Xiao Yanzhi moved out of the palace, Xu Liqian also moved into the Wu Palace. So far, all the princes of the royal family who became adults and became kings moved out of the palace.

After two years, every day in Chang'an City is still the same, and the civil and military officials in the court are also used to the balance of power among the three princes changing every month. Looking at the emperor who is still in good health, everyone silently gave up their bets The idea of ​​standing in a team is to do their respective duties conscientiously, and when the time comes, it will not be too late for them to stand in a team temporarily.

In the Jinwuwei camp, Pei Ze sat at the head with a cold face, and below were Xiaowei, Weiwei, the leading guard and the generals of the Jinwuwei, all of whom were silent.

"Within one month, there were three robberies in the city of Chang'an. It wasn't burglary, it wasn't deception, it was blatant robbery in the street. This king would like to ask, you who are in charge of guarding the capital are blind ?"

Several people were speechless.

The others were afraid to speak because of Pei Ze's anger, but the generals of the leading army guard and Jin Wuwei really felt that they were blind. Otherwise, why would they have met the robber head-on, but they had told people to run away during the pursuit? What?Isn't this blindness?

Seeing how few people dared to make a sound, Pei Ze panicked.

Although Chang'an City is under the foot of the emperor, cases of theft, robbery, and fraud occur almost every day, but those have always been under the management of Jingzhao Mansion, not to mention the Sixteen Guards, even Dali Temple. The bad relationship is that in the three robberies this time, the victims were all court ministers. His Majesty was worried that someone deliberately targeted the imperial court officials, so he paid special attention to it. If His Majesty attaches importance to such things, he will be troubled .

Suddenly recalling what Xiao Yanzhi said jokingly before, Pei Ze said in a deep voice: "The Jinwu Guards have brought a dog with a keen sense of smell when patrolling these days, and Xiaowei and Weiwei have allocated some people to protect them secretly. My lords in the court, this king will also ask people from Dali Temple to ask the robbed lords again. Your Majesty does not want the same thing to happen a fourth time."

"Yes, my lord!" Several people responded loudly immediately.

Pei Ze waved his hand, and several people got up and left immediately, and Pei Ze sat in the Jinwu Guard camp for a while before getting up and leaving.

After leaving the Jinwu Guard Camp, he entered the imperial city through the Liangyi Gate, and when he passed the Caofang of Sinong Temple, Pei Ze stopped abruptly, turned his head and stared at the wall outside the Caofang of Sinong Temple, Pei Ze just Turned around and walked in.

Xiao Yanzhi especially likes staying here recently.

Sure enough, as soon as Pei Ze entered the grass workshop of Sinong Temple, he saw Xiao Yanzhi squatting beside the field, and seeing Xiao Yanzhi's happy expression, Pei Ze's mood improved a lot.

"Are you so idle?" Standing behind Xiao Yan, Pei Ze looked at the large piece of green land, really wondering what's so good about it.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and answered the wrong question: "Come back from Jinwu Guard?"

"En." Pei Ze nodded.

Xiao Yanzhi stretched out his hand to poke a small grass in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Chang'an City seems to be very uneven recently."

In addition to three court officials being robbed in the street, there was another murder case somewhere in the southwest corner of Chang'an City.

Pei Ze said: "It's always been like this. Ordinary people don't live a law-abiding life just because Chang'an City is under the emperor's feet. There are people with evil thoughts everywhere. It's just that this year His Majesty sent you to Dali Temple Only then will you have the opportunity to count how many cases occur in Chang'an City every day."

Hearing Pei Ze's words, Xiao Yanzhi hugged his head angrily: "Don't mention this... You actually let me go to Dali Temple, I dream of a headless female corpse at night, that's enough!"

Now only the vitality in the grass workshop of Sinong Temple can heal him.

Pei Ze curled his lips and said, "I thought you were dreaming of me at night."

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and said, "Your position was recently replaced by a headless female corpse."

"Then we have to find a way to regain our position." Pei Ze stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Yanzhi up, "Let's go, Your Majesty is waiting to see you?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Yanzhi frowned.

Although the emperor sent someone to hand him over half an hour ago, he didn't want to go. Recently, the emperor would only say the same thing every time he saw him.

Pei Ze said: "When His Majesty sent someone to look for me, he asked me to pick you up."

"Is it okay not to go? Either you go and tell Father that my stomach hurts." Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze pitifully.

Pei Ze rolled Xiao Yan's eyes and said, "Then His Majesty will most likely bring the imperial physician to visit you."

Xiao Yanzhi reluctantly said: "But every time I go to him, he only talks about one thing, and it's annoying to listen...don't you find it annoying?"

Pei Ze didn't answer, but secretly sighed in his heart.

After all, Xiao Yanzhi went to Liangyi Hall with Pei Ze, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw the emperor in a good mood and Xu Lishan sitting opposite the emperor.

"My son sees my father."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"No need to be too polite, come and sit down." The emperor smiled and waved to the two.

Xiao Yanzhi walked to the seat that hadn't been changed in two years and sat down, and asked Xu Lishan, "When did the second emperor come back?"

Xu Lishan was sent to Lingnan Road in the first month of this year to deal with the pirates in the South China Sea. Then in March, he wrote that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved and he was going to return to Beijing. It was April, and Xu Lishan only arrived in Chang'an.

"Just came back," Xu Lishan smiled at Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze, "I was afraid that my father would remember something about Lingnan, so I went to the palace to report it."

"It's really hard work, Second Emperor." Xiao Yanzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"What about the emperor?" Xu Lishan also smiled back, "It is my honor to be able to share the worries of the father and the emperor."

"Since this is the case, the second imperial brother will help me solve the Dali Temple matter by the way?" Xiao Yanzhi said straightforwardly, "Those who are able will do more work."

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Lishan's eyes twitched violently.

Does Xiao Yanzhi still think that there are not enough things pushed to him?He said he wanted to help him build his prestige, but how he thinks now, Xiao Yanzhi just wants to push all the work to him. As a result, he has traveled all over the country in the past two years, and Xiao Yanzhi is in the palace every day. How can this person be so thick-skinned when he hangs around but still screams tired every day?

The emperor interrupted and said: "I don't know whether to say whether the relationship between you two brothers is good or not, and you have to choke each other a few words in front of me. In other words, don't bully the second brother all the time."

Xu Lishan withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and said, "I have nothing to do with my son, my father forgives me."

Xiao Yanzhi twitched his lips, looking unruly as usual.

The emperor smiled, turned to look at Pei Ze, and asked, "Pei Ze, what happened to the robbery?"

Pei Ze bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I am ordering people to step up the search and arrest, and the robbers will be arrested and brought to justice!"

"Is there any progress in Dali Temple?" The emperor asked Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi replied: "I have obtained evidence from the three adults, but the three adults have different descriptions of the robber's appearance, so it is impossible to judge whether the robber is one person or a group of people. But the three adults are all They were robbed on the way back home from Dongshi, and all the people who were robbed were high-priced items that had just been bought back from Dongshi."

After pondering for a moment, the emperor asked Xu Lishan again: "I have told you about this just now, what do you think?"

Xu Lishan thought about it carefully, and then replied cautiously: "I think I can lure the snake out of the hole."

"How?" The emperor continued to ask with interest.

Xu Lishan then explained: "If it's like what the emperor said, the robbers might be lying in ambush outside several shops, waiting for the imperial court to order officials to buy things and then follow up to rob them. If so, then we can set up an ambush trap."

Hearing Xu Lishan's words, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, I will leave this matter to you. Yanzhi leads the Dali Temple, Pei Ze leads the sixteen guards, and cooperates with Shan'er to general The robbers have been apprehended."

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hands and said, "Shan'er and Pei Ze should go back and rest, and stay here."

"……Yes."

Pei Ze and Xu Lishan looked at each other, then gave Xiao Yanzhi a self-seeking look at the same time, and left the imperial study room.

Being sympathized with so tacitly by the two people, Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely.

Hearing that the door of the imperial study room was closed with a "click", the emperor said to Xiao Yanzhi in a low voice: "You have spent the past two years on the second child at last, and he finally looks a little bit better."

"Father is satisfied." Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile.

The emperor cast a sideways glance at Xiao Yan and said, "If you can marry a wife and have children, I will be more satisfied."

"...Your servant is not in a hurry." Sure enough, he wanted to talk about this matter again.

"Not in a hurry?" The emperor's eyes widened when he heard this. "I asked you the year before last, and you said no hurry. I agreed to you and married the second child first. Last year, when I asked you, you said Don’t worry, I’m still urging the girl to elope with her lover. Are you still in a hurry to ask you this year? The second son’s son is already one year old! Do you know how old you are?”

"25," Xiao Yanzhi twitched his lips, "Compared to father and you, my son is still young."

"Young ass!" The emperor scolded angrily, "I gave birth to a son when I was your age!"

"The minister here knows," Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor with a smirk, "Isn't the son you gave birth to a minister? The second emperor should have been born too, right?"
