[mouse cat] special way

Bai Yutang sat on the roof of the room where he and Zhan Zhao lived for a long time, watching the lights in the room where the yamen servants and guards lived in the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion, light up one by one, and then go out after a long time.

The moon had already set, and the brothers on duty patrolled around twice, but Zhan Zhao still didn't come back.Bai Yutang stood up and saw that the lights in Gongsun Ce's room were still on in the small courtyard separated from the east, so he knew that Master Bao hadn't come back either.

What happened in the end: the craftsman in Xiangfu County was killed, the county magistrate died unexpectedly; unidentified people came and went from the imperial mausoleum in Gong County;

Bai Yutang shook his head a little irritably, not to mention whether these things were connected, even if there was a connection, there was still too little information in his hands, and he couldn't figure it out.

But one thing is certain, Mr. Gongsun must know something.Could it be that this matter has something to do with the royal family?Bai Yutang felt that he had found his way. If it was related to the royal family, then Mr. Gongsun's flustered attitude was understandable.

But in this way, Zhan Zhao might be in trouble again.Bai Yutang couldn't help becoming worried, he knew very well that even ordinary powerful families had shady things, the richer and nobler families would have more hidden filth.The civet cat changed the crown prince, Chen Shimei killed his wife, there are many messy things in the royal family.Wasn't the rebellion of King Xiangyang before also a struggle for power within the royal family?

What will it be this time?

To be honest, no matter what happens, the royal family can solve it themselves, but these cases always end up in the hands of the Kaifeng government.Bai Yutang watched coldly, knowing that all these were just the result of the emperor's tricks.

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The literati cast aside the "tumbler" mentality of Feng Dao, the "grandfather of ten dynasties", and regained their strength of character, taking the responsibility of maintaining orthodoxy, and Lord Bao is no exception.That's what the young emperor in the Golden Luan Hall valued, as well as Mr. Bao's upright, unyielding, impartial personality.With an orthodox body, with the help of Mr. Bao, he cleaned up those who threatened his throne time and time again.

Mr. Bao has been dealing with such cases, and has unknowingly put himself on the cusp of the storm, and Zhan Zhao has no choice but to take action again and again, to fight for Mr. Bao at the moment.In fact, the secret assassination can't pose a threat to Kaifeng Mansion at all, the real danger is the mind of the man on the dragon chair.Knowing so many things that he shouldn't know, can that person not be afraid of Kaifeng Mansion?

Bai Yutang thought, the emperor still can't leave Kaifeng Mansion, more precisely, he can't leave Lord Bao and his silly cat.Once the Kaifeng Mansion is no longer a tool for him to consolidate the imperial power and promote his strategy, then Lord Bao's position will be in jeopardy.The Great Song Dynasty always valued literature over military affairs, Mr. Bao was a civil servant and held a high position, even if he was no longer in this position, he would not be in danger of his life.Zhan Zhao is not sure...

What should he do to protect the cat?

Bai Yutang was secretly anxious there, and Mr. Gongsun in the study in the small courtyard was also not at ease.

The study room was in a mess. Gongsun Ce was reading at his desk, and he took out a book from time to time to look it up, and then threw it away. Book scrolls were scattered everywhere.

It's hard to imagine that this is something that Gongsun Ce, who has always loved books like his life, can do.Jiang Ping bent down to pick up a book that fell on the floor, flipped through it casually, it was "Lu Shi Ji Yi Ji", walked forward a few steps, and picked up another "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu".Jiang Ping grinned, and picked up all the books on the ground, "Shan Hai Jing", "Natural History", "You Ming Lu"...

What... what is Mr. Gongsun doing?Why a room full of ghost notes? !

He silently stacked the books neatly and placed them on the small table.Looking back, I saw Gongsun Ce open a scroll with a "swipe", and the balls in the scroll were very familiar.

"Tai Chi gossip map?" Where did this come from?

"Go up and down, Fuxi's gossip? No, this is the azimuth map of Taiyi!" Bai Yutang didn't know when he came in. He stood by the table with his arms folded and frowned, "Mr. Gongsun, why do you have such a thing?" , does this case require the use of strange spells?"

What?Jiang Ping heard a chill coming from behind, hurriedly walked to the door, looked around, and then closed the door.The fewer people who know about this strange technique, the better. Why did Mr. Gongsun show it like this.Bai Yutang's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, why did this matter go in the direction of a bit of oblivion.

Taiyi, Qimen, and Liuren are collectively called "Three Styles", which are the unique learning of Yi learning based on innate gossip.Taiyi mainly uses Tian Yuan to measure state affairs; Qimen mainly uses Earth Yuan to measure collective affairs; Liu Ren mainly uses Ren Yuan to measure personnel affairs. Among the "three styles", Qimen Dunjia is the most widely used and most prominent, and Liuren Shenke measures people's good and bad fortune, and there are many descendants.Only one branch of Taiyi, because it can predict state affairs, is often tabooed by emperors, so its reputation is not obvious, and it is quite mysterious.

However, Taiyi is the most powerful one.

"Up to now, I don't have any extravagant hopes. I only learned a little bit of Taiyi's technique from my master." Gongsun Ce put down his pen, raised his head and sighed, "But even so, we must stop him. "

"Stop who?" the two asked.

"Book from Heaven."

"The Book of Heaven is coming to this world?!" Zhao Zhen opened the note written by Gongsun Ce presented by Bao Zheng, and was extremely surprised.

"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zhao Zhen pushed away the memorial on the table and walked out from behind the imperial case. He walked back and forth in front of the imperial case anxiously.He raised his head and asked, "Bao Qing, it was I who sealed the heavenly book myself. How can I believe this?!"

"Your Majesty, I also hope that this matter is wrong. But Mr. Gongsun's judgment in this regard has always been reliable. If the Book of Heaven is really about to reappear in the world, we have to guard against it!" Bao Zheng bowed and bowed.

Zhao Zhen walked around in silence for two more times, and waved his hand irritably: "I see, I believe that Gongsun Ce also believes in you, Bao Qing. Where are the guards?"

"Your Majesty!" Bao Zheng straightened his waist and looked at the frowning emperor in front of him, "Your Majesty, the guards didn't know about this matter, can you..."

"I understand." Zhao Zhen went back to the table and sat down, his expression relaxed, "I just want to confirm some things with Zhan Weiwei."

There was the sound of someone leaving outside the door. After a while, Zhan Zhao came in from the door and knelt down on one knee: "Zhan Zhao pays homage to His Majesty." Just now Master Bao insisted on letting himself wait outside. Not sure what they were talking about.

"The guard is free from courtesy and peace." Zhao Zhen raised the imperial pen and said casually, "You are going to Xiangfu County to handle the case this time. Is Zhou Bizhi, the county prime minister, really dead?"

Zhan Zhao stood up and replied: "Go back to the emperor, we have verified the authenticity, there is no doubt that it is Mr. Zhou."

"Okay." Zhao Zhen stopped writing, and blew on the wet ink on the paper, "Come here." Chen Lin came in and waited on him.

Zhao Zhen handed him the scroll in his hand: "You go and deliver the decree right away. Promote Yushitai Recorder Xiao Weimo to be the county magistrate of Xiangfu County, and order him to take office immediately. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

After Zhao Zhen left, Zhao Zhen turned to Bao Zheng again and said, "I heard that Kaifeng Mansion captured a few warriors from Xia Kingdom today?"

"Huh?" Both Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao were a little confused, "I don't know about this matter." After Zhan Zhao came back, he left him in the study. They had been discussing the case in Xiangfu County, so they didn't know what happened today. What happened in the Moon Tower.

"Letters sent by Li Yuanhao." Zhao Zhen threw the papers one by one on the table, "It said that you arrested him and beat people indiscriminately, and there was a man in white who made rude remarks and hurt people. He was very angry. The person who asked Kaifeng Mansion to release him should give him an explanation."

The man in white?The two felt tense, could it be Bai Yutang?It couldn't be such a coincidence, Zhan Zhao vaguely remembered that today he did see Bai Yutang coming back from the outside, and he was patrolling the streets for him.

"Your Majesty, I would like to assure you that Bai Yutang is definitely not a reckless person." Zhan Zhao knelt down on one knee.Bao Zheng also said: "I also think that Bai Huwei has a sense of propriety and will definitely not damage the dignity of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Zhen turned around from behind the table, walked up to Zhan Zhao and helped him up.

"How can I blame Bai Yutang, Zhan guards you up." He said gently, "What happened today is Xia Guo's unreasonable troubles, and they dared to moles the princess. If it wasn't for Bai Yutang's action, Lingling and the others are afraid that they will suffer. .”

"Is the princess surprised?" Bao Zheng asked.

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Bao Qing was joking, you know the princess' temper well."

Uh, Bao Zheng is a little embarrassed, it's true, what can scare those two princesses...

"The emperor means..." Zhan Zhao noticed that Zhao Zhen smiled a little forcedly.

Zhao Zhen squeezed his fingers, looked aside, and said in a strange voice, "Of course I'm telling the truth. They dare to behave mischievously in the Song Dynasty, so they will be taught a lesson." He quickly glanced at Zhan Zhao, He continued, "Being taught a lesson is inferior to others..."

Both Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao understood that the officials were actually quite capable of causing trouble for the Kaifeng Mansion.

"Ahem," Zhao Zhen walked to the window, "Li Yuanhao proposed to compete with us. If we win, he will take Hongzhou as the princess' dowry; if they win, he will ask Lanquan as the princess' dowry."

"This!" Bao Zheng thought it was a bit of a joke, "Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

"I agree." Now that the beginning of the sentence has been finished, it is not difficult to say the rest, Zhao Zhen replied calmly.

"Guard Zhan, I'm already planning to marry Lingling." Zhao Zhen turned to look at Zhan Zhao thoughtfully, and said softly, "Xia Guoci came here with ulterior motives, can you help me with this?"

"Chen..." Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, Zhan Zhao still had to bow his head, "I obey the order."
