Is the prince abolished today?

Chapter 23 Totem

Because of the relapse of the old injury, Wei Zhao's right arm was bitten by the villain again. After returning home, Wei Zhao changed into loose pajamas. At this moment, he just casually wore a silver brocade robe and sat behind the desk, working with one arm.

When Zhou Shen came in with the confession, the soldiers were serving tea.

Zhou Shen was careful, and subconsciously glanced at the color of the tea soup. Sure enough, it had been boiled again, and the ratio of tea leaves to water was also very problematic.These big bosses in the army know how to spoil good tea.

Wei Zhao was a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea bowl and wanted to drink, but as soon as the tip of his nose touched the tea soup, he smelled an unignorable smell hidden deep in the blue color.He shook his head and had no choice but to put it down.Seeing this, the soldiers were so frightened that they pleaded guilty in panic, and wanted to take the tea down and brew it again.

"Forget it, come over with a glass of white water."

Although the orders and prohibitions in the army are strictly enforced, in private, Wei Zhao is not willing to easily punish his subordinates for these trivial matters.They are soldiers, they only need to go forward bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they don't need to learn such housework as cooking tea and rice.

But Zhou Shen looked very sad, very uncomfortable.

He knew that Lord Hou loved soldiers like sons, and couldn't bear to be harsh on soldiers in these matters, but he also knew that, since he was a child in a noble family, Lord Hou was actually a person who paid great attention to the quality of life and had a lot of leisure time.For example, Master Hou has almost strict requirements on clothing and eating utensils. No matter the inner and outer clothing, it must be finely crafted, clean and ironed, and there must be no wrinkles.Even in the army, Lord Hou maintained the extravagant habit of bathing at least once a day.For another example, Hou Ye didn't hang out with the generals in his spare time. Instead, he liked to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and calligraphy with the literati who came to Beijing to study, and he wrote beautiful and unrestrained characters.

Such an iron-blooded and elegant Marquis, when he was injured and went to work, he should have red sleeves to add fragrance, and Meiji was by his side.Those personal soldiers are all five-year-old and three-year-old, how can they know how to have fun and take care of others.

But the fact is that in the huge Dingbei Hou Mansion, apart from Mrs. Wei and the two servants who served Mrs. Wei, it is impossible to see a fourth mother.

Ever since Lord Hou returned to Beijing, the matchmakers who came to the mansion to seek marriage proposals for the old lady almost smashed the threshold. There are countless noble women in Beijing who come to the gate of the mansion to "encounter" with Lord Hou every day. .But Hou Ye didn't know why, he didn't pay attention to any of them, the eyes of those delicate and noble girls were like a cold sword.Several of them were scared and cried on the spot.

The children of Mr. Gu and Mr. Liu who were born in the same year as Lord Hou ran away all over the place. Mr. Gu's wife is pregnant with her third child again this year. His Master Hou, let alone his daughter-in-law, even a decent concubine No.Mrs. Wei was also anxious at first, but after worrying for so many years, she became so worried that she was a Buddhist, and frantically expanded the selection of granddaughters-in-law from the circle of noble women in the capital to the circle of noble men in the capital.

No way, who told her not to take good care of her precious grandson back then, and let her precious grandson fall into the hands of that nasty woman from Nanzhao Kingdom.Although there was no danger in the end, the precious grandson has completely lost interest in the matter of men and women since then.

At this youthful age, what if he is suffocated.Fortunately, there is no such thing as an unparalleled road. In this world, besides women, there are also many men.Mrs. Wei calculated carefully, besides not being able to hold a great-grandson, there is nothing wrong with marrying a beautiful boy as a grandson-in-law, and there is also an advantage in terms of physical strength.She didn't want her grandson to live alone all his life, and when he was old and sick, he didn't even have anyone around him to greet him.In that way, she will feel uneasy when she goes to Jiuquan in the future, and she will not be able to explain to her eldest son and daughter-in-law who died young.

As for the difficult task of carrying on the family line, let her second son, who always has a dark face and is not very likable, leave it to her.Anyway, after seeing the two rambunctious children of the second son's family, Mrs. Wei is not very interested in holding her grandson now.With that kind of skill, it's better to take a car and go to the street to find a handsome man.

Zhou Shen has been staying in the Hou Mansion on this side of the capital, and he doesn't know about the old events in the southwest that have had a profound impact on the Hou Ye's outlook on life and love.He just vaguely noticed that Lord Hou didn't seem to be that interested in women.But in the eyes of Zhou Shen, who is more traditional and old-fashioned, this is not a big deal, because he and his wife are a typical marriage first and then love. Love is like glue.

Feelings need to be cultivated. In short, their Dingbei Hou Mansion really lacks a virtuous and virtuous Mrs. Hou who can cook tea and rice, and preferably chat with Master Hou about poetry and painting!

"The Taoist really doesn't know that the Golden Snake Gallbladder is used to detoxify the poison of Manjusri?"

Wei Zhao flipped through the confession, frowned and asked.

After the last poisoning incident was ordered to be closed by Emperor Changping, Wei Zhao did not need to investigate the origin of the Taoist involved in the case, but he did not expect that the secret guards of the Dingbeihou Mansion found a shocking news the next day: it was founded by Emperor Wu. The Truth Listening Organization often uses a drug to control the killers in the training. This drug is Manjusri.

Although the exact truth of that birthday banquet is unknown, according to various clues, "the eldest prince voluntarily took manjusri, which is harmful to people with palpitations, and wanted to blame the prince" " There is no doubt about the fact that the harmful Lindan wants to blame the eldest prince.It's just that it's impossible to determine who is the one who strikes first and who is the one who counterattacks.

Wei Zhao is not sure that the way the eldest prince Mu Jue obtained Manjushri must have something to do with Di Ting.After all, as a drug with excellent effects, even if it is banned by the government, there will always be various ways to get it.

But if the poisoning incident had something to do with Di Ting, things would be very troublesome.

As a killer organization absolutely loyal to Emperor Wu, why did Di Ting have contact with the First Prince.They want to make a comeback, shouldn't it be the little prince who should be contacted the most?

So Wei Zhao immediately ordered people to arrest the Taoist priest who spent a lot of money to instigate the beggar leader Zhang Dawang to deliver the antidote to the First Prince's Mansion.

"That's right. This stinky Taoist priest is a soft bone. He peed his pants before he was tortured. He shouldn't lie. According to his account, whether this whole matter is sending Manjusri to the First Prince's Mansion or giving it to the First Prince's Mansion afterwards Delivering the antidote was all ordered by his senior brother, a Taoist priest named Chun Yugui."

"Then where is Chunyu Puppet now?"

"The servant sent someone to the temple to inquire about it. Although this person is the nominal owner of the Zixia Temple, he has been elusive and erratic. I heard that he hasn't been back to the temple for more than three years."

Wei Zhao frowned, "Didn't go back to Guanli? Then how did you get in touch with Wu Song?"

Zhou Shen hurriedly said, "The carrier pigeons are used."

"Is there any evidence left?"

"No. Chunyu Puppet is very cautious in his work, and he specifically asked Wu Song in the letter to burn it immediately after reading it."

Wei Zhao knocked on the table and fell silent.

Zhou Shen said: "There is one more thing to tell Lord Hou. Although Wu Song doesn't know about Di Ting, nor does he know the specific use of Manjusri, but he has seen a mass of blood-colored totems of divine beasts on a person, which is very similar to Di Ting."

Wei Zhao snapped his hands, "What do you mean?"

Anyone who has heard the stories of Buddhist scriptures knows that Di Ting is a kind of psychic beast in Buddhist legends.

Before becoming a frightening killer organization, the prototype of "Ting Ting" was a mythical beast.When Wei Zhao sneaked into the palace and was hunted down by Di Ting's killers, he had seen that bloody totem on the arm of one of them.

Zhou Shen didn't answer right away, but asked, "Master Hou, have you heard of Tianshi Li?"

Wei Zhao thought about it for a while, and then said disapprovingly: "Is it Li Tianshi who has been passed down as a miracle and was once regarded as a guest of honor by Emperor Wu?"

He has always disdained and believed in those strange things.

"That's right. Although Emperor Wu is good at martial arts, he is obsessed with alchemy and Taoism, because I heard that Li Tianshi, the master of Zixia Temple, has the ability to open the eyes of the sky and ask the gods. Every time before going to war, he will ask Li Tianshi to go to the palace to calculate the sky. Strange to say, as long as the troops are dispatched according to the date calculated by Li Tianshi, Emperor Wu will be able to return with a big victory. Gradually, the people all say that Li Tianshi is a god who came down to earth and was sent by heaven to assist Mingjun. Emperor Wu trusts Li Tianshi more and more , not only sealed the national teacher, but even in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the first time he did not call the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but asked Li Tianshi to set up an altar in the palace. It is ironic that later the rebels attacked the city, and Li Tianshi was forced by Emperor Wu. The heavenly soldiers and generals were summoned at the city gate, but the heavenly soldiers were not recruited, and he fell to death under the random arrows of the rebels."

"This Wu Song and Chunyu Puppet are both disciples under Li Tianshi's seat."

"According to Wu Song, when Li Tianshi was still alive, he would bring a young man back to the temple to teach the Taoism in the days around the [-]th day of every month. He ran into it by accident once, and saw a ball on the back of the young man that looked like The totem of the gods and beasts listening."

"If this is true, the young man... is most likely the killer of Di Ting. But now that Li Tianshi has passed away, the young man has also gone into the sea with him, and has never appeared in the temple again. It may not be easy to find someone."

Wei Zhao digested this information, and instantly made up his mind: "Chuan Benhou's order, from now on, we must find Chunyu Gui at all costs."

Since Chunyu Puppet is the successor master of the Zixia Temple, he is naturally the one who has won the trust of Li Tianshi, and it is very likely that he knows more secrets about Li Tianshi than Wu Song.

……

"Ahem, Your Highness is obedient. Although that sleepwalking is a mental problem, if it is not controlled in time, it may damage the body. Please stretch out your wrist, Your Highness, and let me wait for the pulse."

In the side hall of the Chengqing Palace, all the imperial doctors on duty in the imperial hospital, whether they were in charge of headaches and fevers, or those in charge of bruises and confinement deliveries, were almost all summoned by a command from Emperor Changping. Looking persuasively at the young man kneeling on the bright yellow cushion in the middle.

The boy rolled his eyelids indifferently: "Gao Jili!"

"Hey, the old slave is here."

The tall cotton-padded jacket ran over erratically, and said caringly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the juice will take a while to squeeze out."

A circle of imperial physicians who were ignored: "..."

"..."

"..."

God damn juice, this former little prince is really too difficult to deal with!

Your Majesty wants to create an image of a generation of wise kings who are kind and fraternal and kind to orphans. Can you not drag them down.
