Emperor's Trophy

It was already the second day that Yunzhen left the palace. When we had breakfast together, Ji Bingyuan finished his meal and took a towel to wipe his hands before asking him casually: "What did Xiao Zhu do to offend you?" Taboo, you gave up the idea of ​​joining the nationality?"

Yun Zhen was drinking tea after dinner, and almost spit out a sip of tea. He looked at Ji Bingyuan with a dazed and pitiful expression: "Your Majesty, can we turn the page? I was young and ignorant at that time." I served him very well last night. Is that not enough?

Ji Bingyuan wiped her hands slowly: "You tell me the reason, and I will pass here."

Yun Zhen broke down, knowing that no matter how much he refused to admit it, the emperor would never believe that he hadn't thought about it, so he said vaguely: "He has a cousin, and his mother wants to be his concubine to have children." It doesn't count. I wronged him, but I didn't seem to see Zhu Jiang mentioning his cousin again in this life... Could it be that what Ji Huaisu said that day was true?

Zhu Jiang also recovered her memory?So why didn't he say a word?Still going to guard the border...

Unknowingly, his expression was a little melancholy. Ji Bingyuan saw it, and remained calm, but never mentioned it again, and beckoned him to come over. He straightened his official hat with his own hands, and said with a smile: "My queen, look It’s right to marry, and you should be rewarded for serving me day and night. What are you busy with in Dali Temple? You, Shaoqing, need to go to the chariots and horses to check in person?”

Yun Zhen said: "Miss Hou from Xining saw that the juggler was being kidnapped, so she didn't dare to speak up. She has been closely investigating these days."

Ji Bingyuan frowned: "How could such a big event of human trafficking happen in Beijing?"

Yun Zhen said: "It's wrong to reason, and it's Longevity Day again. Beijing's defense has increased several times compared to usual. These days, Beijing has almost turned over, and we haven't seen any clues. We Siqing suspects that The young lady was tricked into elopement, but Xining Hou firmly denied it, saying that his young lady is gentle and gentle, and she doesn't socialize with outsiders on weekdays, she has come to Dali Temple to make a few disturbances, and she is immediately forced to search the city."

Ji Bingyuan said: "Be careful, don't investigate the case by yourself."

Yun Zhen nodded: "I'm bringing people with me, and the Longevity Day is only seven days away. The Marquis of Xining dare not mention the closure of the city, but he is very dissatisfied. I'm afraid he will come to you to complain."

Ji Bingyuan said: "The envoys of various countries, the envoys of the vassal kings, the envoys of Jiedu, and the governor of Kyushu are all there. It is difficult to explain why the city is sealed off and searched. It must be investigated seriously, and it should not be too publicized."

Yun Zhen's eyes shifted and he said: "Yes, the minister... has been concentrating on investigating the case for the past few days, so... he will not enter the palace."

Ji Bingyuan said: "Got it."

Yun Zhen felt extremely guilty, and raised his head slightly to kiss Ji Bingyuan.

The queen took the initiative to offer a kiss, and Ji Bingyuan naturally accepted it with a smile. She held his lips for a while, and then adjusted his belt and official robe for him: "Go."

After Yun Zhen left, Ji Bingyuan slightly turned his head and glanced at Ding Dai: "Go and check on the cousin of Duke Dingguo's mansion." The impeachment can bury them. If the emperor wasn't for him, no one would agree to such a shocking and unconventional thing.He thought he was right, but he still didn't make it to the end. If he was simply poisoned and killed by poison, he shouldn't give up again, and there must be other feelings.This kid treats someone wholeheartedly like that, that kid from the Zhu family... is he blind?

Once he knew that this matter was very likely to happen in a certain time stream that he didn't know, the jealousy in his heart almost broke through his 20 years of imperial cultivation.

It is too easy for him to kill a person, so he has tried his best to restrain himself for many years. It turns out that it is too easy to be a tyrant, as long as the person he really likes is hurt, he can be easily angered.

Ding Dai answered with lowered eyelids, and then Ji Bingyuan got dressed and turned up.

=====

Yun Zhen didn't know this, he was short-sighted, he was confident that he had coaxed Ji Bingyuan well, so he went to Dali Temple with no worries, took the file of Xining Hou Qianjin's disappearance and looked at it again and again, first went to Bai Yuqi Come to ask: "I sent you to inquire about it yesterday, can you inquire about it?"

Bai Yuqi said: "Three religions and nine streams, I have asked people who are a little familiar, but they just shook their heads. You know, the Longevity Day is only a few days away. Everyone is pointing to making money in these few days. Who would be mad to do such a thing?" Big case? This is not the home of ordinary people, the daughter of a prince, how can you let it go lightly? Do you think everyone is not making enough money? This kind of approach is really not like the work of a familiar criminal. A habitual criminal will never come to this time unlucky."

Yun Zhen knew what was going on in his heart, and sent him: "You should carefully inquire about the rumors in that area in those few days."

Bai Yuqi saw that he had asked the Tuiguan to come in again, he was skillful and focused in handling affairs, and he was dignified, not like the naive and shy young master who wanted to learn opera in the past, so he had to withdraw honestly and sighed. , It’s almost okay to go down and do it by yourself.

However, Yun Zhen approached Liu Tuiguan, who had been interrogating before, to ask: "It's written on it that Ms. Wang participated in a poetry meeting half a month ago, but this poetry meeting has many candidates participating?"

This Liu Tuiguan is an old Tuiguan with many years of experience, and he has a very careful heart. He quickly replied: "This year, the 36th birthday of the Holy One is exactly the number of forty-nine. The Guanglu Temple is occupied by the Dao Emperor's birthday this year." You need to be more serious, open Enke, pardon the world, and pray for His Majesty. Therefore, Enke was opened this autumn, and many candidates who had failed in the past went to Beijing to catch up with the exam. This poetry meeting is held by Cheng Enbo's mansion. Mr. Tan invited a lot of talented and famous candidates who rushed to take the exam this year, and Miss Tan of Cheng Enbo Mansion also invited a lot of talented and famous ladies to participate."

Yun Zhen said: "Have you ever summoned the two young masters and daughter of Cheng En Bo's residence?"

Liu Tuiguan said: "I only asked the two sons of Cheng Enbo's mansion, and they were quite friendly. I said that although there were male and female guests that day, they were only separated by the stream, and the curved water flowed. Separated, when composing poems, the female guest's poems are not signed, only copied out by the maid who is good at books, and flow down the river, both sides criticize each other, stick to the green screen if they think good ones, neither male nor female guest will have any in private."

"The two sons of the Tan Mansion also asked Miss Tan Jia for us, and said that Miss Wang was all normal that day, and the two poems she wrote were found out for the officials to read, and the poems can only be said to be mediocre. , very ordinary poems chanting scenery, nothing special about it, after the banquet, Ms. Wang returns home, and everything is as usual, this banquet should have nothing to do with the case."

Liu Tuiguan found the two pages of poetry notes from the tray and handed them to Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen picked it up and took a look. It was indeed quite ordinary. It can only be said that the rhythm is neat and the rhyme is complete, but it is also much better than ordinary girls who have never studied.

He thought for a while and said: "Go to Cheng Enbo's residence and take a look, bring some careful people."

Liu Tuiguan quickly said: "Yes."

Yun Zhen thought for a while, Linghuyi participated in Enke this year, so he should be familiar with the situation, and then turned to Simo who was following behind him: "Go to Mr. Zhang and tell him, I will borrow Linghuyi and ask him to directly Go and wait for me at the gate of Cheng Enbo's mansion, we are leaving now."

After everything was arranged properly, he stood up and saw that Liu Tui had ordered all the people, and then led a group of people to Cheng Enbo's mansion.

==========

Here, Ji Bingyuan went back to the south study room, and Ding Dai replied in a low voice: "I have checked, and Zhu Wulang's mother has indeed brought in his widowed sister and niece Liu to live in the mansion, and there is a vague intention of marriage. Of course it is impossible to be the head wife, only a concubine. Later, Zhu Wulang fell off a horse and broke his leg. Our Lord Hou went up to see him, and Zhu Guogong would not allow his son to discuss marriage with Zhu Wulang indiscriminately. This cousin surnamed Liu is very Hurry up and leave the mansion to live away. Afterwards, the Duke’s wife came forward in person and quietly discussed a noble relative, the Jiangnan Shen family, but Zhu Wulang suddenly asked himself to guard the border, and the marriage failed, and I have reported this matter to you."

Ji Bingyuan checked the time in his memory, and it was after the bead burned.

What Ye Ji Huai Su said that day also matched.

It seems that he is self-conscious and ashamed of himself, so he can only walk away from the border.

He didn't say anything, and when he heard the news that the Marquis of Xining wanted to see him, he knew it was because of the abducted granddaughter, so he asked Ding Dai to invite him in.

Sure enough, the Marquis of Xining came to him and cried: "Dali Temple sent Marquis Zhaoxin to preside over the case. The veteran knows that Marquis Zhaoxin is young and promising, but for such things as investigation, it is better to have someone with experience. The granddaughter of the veteran It's love like pearls in the palm of your hand, the emperor wants to make decisions for me."

Ji Bingyuan comforted him a few words, and promised that Dali Temple would arrange experienced officials to assist Zhao Xinhou, so he comforted him and sent him away.

Ding Dai smiled and said to Ji Bingyuan: "Master Yun was obviously pushed out by Dali Temple Minister to block the knife. This meeting is the Longevity Festival, and the defense of the capital is so strict. How could the thieves dare to mess around at this time? The daughter of the mansion was abducted, there must be an inside story, the minister of Dali Temple saw that the Marquis of Xining was not easy to deal with, and then pushed our Marquis Yun away, knowing that he has your backing behind him."

Ji Bingyuan slowly said: "With his status, no matter which yamen he goes to, he doesn't have to grind his qualifications from the bottom, and he doesn't need to be honed by his superiors. Naturally, he has to take on cases that these ordinary officials can't handle, and offend ordinary people. An incomparable nobleman who shields his subordinates from the wind and rain, and seeks benefits that others cannot find for his subordinates. Otherwise, how can he convince the public? If he can’t handle big cases, and he doesn’t bother to do small cases, then there will be no more people soon. If you take him seriously, he, the young minister of Dali Temple, won't be able to stand still."

Ding Dai said: "The emperor has worked hard."

Ji Bingyuan suddenly laughed at herself and said: "I will always go before him, and then he must have something to protect himself, so that he can settle down." Among those two unknown fates, I did not protect him after all.

Ding Dai's eyes turned red: "The emperor is in the prime of his life, why should he take it lightly?"

Ji Bingyuan didn't speak, he clearly knew that he was jealous, jealous of the fool who grew up and played with Ji Xianger, and Ji Xianger wrote a letter for him, risking the world's disgrace to marry a man.

Young, energetic, childhood sweetheart who could grow old forever.

He didn't know how envious he was.

There is another one, Ji Huaisu, who has been unable to avoid the sense of disobedience since he noticed it. He does not understand why someone can step on his preferences, make every correct and mature speech and behavior, and write The article that suits him best, the weirdness and sense of disobedience made him always admire Ji Huaisu, but he still remained vigilant.

It turned out to be the case.

He stepped on his auspicious son as a step, got the reserve position, ascended to the throne, and then because of a nonsense rumor, he couldn't wait to get rid of auspicious son.

So young, so cool.

Sure enough, a hero makes a boy, and a languid man makes a leopard.

One is more ruthless than the other.

The scales and claws, the grass snake's gray thread, every thread is in place, and they all match.

Even so, his auspicious son was still in this third life, and he came to him without hesitation.

It seems that he fell down again and again, but he never changed his precious and pure heart that is persistently looking for love.He just firmly believed that he didn't find the right person, so he was so persistent that he was a little careless, but because of this, this heart became more and more precious, so precious that the kid from Zhu's family didn't dare to ask for it after he was reborn, and so precious that Ji Huaisu gave everything. Bao wanted to snatch, deceive, and coax her back, but they all regretted it.

Regretted until they got drunk and fought each other, in the end they could only swallow the blood back, and then came to coax Ji Xianger.

So, are you the right one?Will you protect him and never let him get hurt again?

Ji Bingyuan asked himself, and heaved a long sigh in his heart.
