Chapter 475
He entered the bedroom with the gold chain and locked it in a small drawer. Then he looked in the mirror and arranged his clothes. Qin Feng took Xiao Lingyao to Qiluo Villa, and Yi Zifeng would definitely be under guard.
, life cannot be lost for the time being.
Therefore, the plan of feigning death is not suitable for Yi Zifeng. Let's make up a reason for now and say that he is sent to investigate the case, and then we will take a closer look.
Zuo Pingdao knew that he could not hide his return to the capital from Emperor Yuan. After packing up, he went into the palace to meet Emperor Yuan. This matter was a secret investigation. When he saw the fifth prince Xiao Lingyi in the imperial study, he was unexpected.
The former Yun Envoy suddenly became the fifth prince. His colleagues who had worked with him were all frightened. They were busy thinking about whether they had offended the fifth prince. However, this Zhao Lun used to have a cold temperament and was not tactful in his dealings. Instead, he offended him.
There are more people.
As he became the prince, those who had complained against him in the past had to put things past their grievances and had to bow to him when they met. It was like one moment and another, and they were just ascending to heaven with the emperor's blood flowing in their bodies.
Zuo Pingdao could not help but think of the conflict with Zhao Lun during the selection of the prince-in-law, but now he had to grovel in front of him, and being tricked by Qin Feng, one can imagine the frustration in his heart, but despite being so experienced, his expression remained unchanged.
Zhao Lun looked at Zuo Pingdao in front of him and thought of the conflict between the two. At that time, he had no idea about the ambition of the Dali Temple minister towards his sister, nor did he expect that this man would rise to the top and become His Majesty's sharpest sword.
Zuo Pingdao paused for a moment after saluting, because Emperor Yuan did not let Zhao Lun leave, but asked him to stand on one side. Was this because he was trying to avoid it and asked him to report back in front of Zhao Lun?
Seeing that he was not moving, Eunuch Hong said with a smile: "Master Zuo, if you have anything to report, get started quickly. Your Majesty will be impatient to wait."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this time I got the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess. It is suspected that a carriage took people to the north, and I have invited Yi Zifeng, the young minister of Dali Temple, to investigate. Secondly, I received a secret letter from the Imperial Temple.
Things are starting to take shape.”
Zuo Pingdao took out a letter. The letter was conspired by Xiao Lingyao and Bai Zeyuan. The handwriting on it did not belong to either of them. It was sent from Sui City to Luo City and finally delivered to him. However, the writer of this letter was anonymous.
Zhao Lun looked at the letter in Emperor Yuan's hand and was a little unsure about what was written on it. Now he has less contact with people outside the palace than before. It is difficult for Cao Jing and Bai Qian to leave the palace, and their understanding of the current situation is even less clear.
.
Just looking at it from his point of view, Emperor Yuan's cheeks trembled, and he felt briefly angry and puzzled.
Zuo Pingdao had already lowered his head even further. Emperor Yuan held the thin piece of paper in his hand and finally said, "How authentic is this letter? But someone is waiting for an opportunity to shift the focus?"
"Back to Your Majesty, although I was away from home before, I have sent a letter to my subordinates to inquire about the people who were in the Imperial Temple that day." Zuo Pingdao secretly thought that the Feilong Army was the imperial army led by His Majesty after all, so he chose his words more carefully: "Except for writing this
The person who trusted me secretly also has a witness.”
Zuo Pingdao was always the minister of Dali Temple. Although he thought about imprisoning Xiao Lingyao, he did not dare to neglect the investigation. Therefore, he conducted an investigation beforehand to confirm what was written in the secret letter, and found four witnesses.
He was a person who was in the Imperial Temple that day.
These four people are Tian Qicheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Tang Jing, the cabinet scholar, Zheng Xiao, the commander of Wuhoupu, and one of them is a fellow examiner from Dali Temple. The four people respectively confirmed that they saw something in the pagoda at the time of the incident.
People wearing flying dragon uniforms come and go.
It was just that the whereabouts of the princess was being searched at that time, so no one paid much attention to it.
Zhao Lun stood on the side. After listening, no matter how dull he was, he knew what Zuo Pingdao had found. It was unknown whether Xiao Lingzhao's death was caused by the Feilong Army, but if it came true, there would be someone in the Feilong Army who was on the opposite side of His Majesty the Emperor.
This is scary when you think about it carefully.
Although Xiao Lingzhao is not favored by His Majesty, he is the prince born of Empress Chen after all. The Lidong Palace was a deal made with the Chen family, which was not his original intention. However, he is of royal blood after all. How can he allow others to take his life without the order of Emperor Yuan?
Zuo Pingdao saw that Emperor Yuan had not spoken out for a long time, so he hurriedly said: "I think that although there are witnesses to prove the authenticity of this secret letter, some people may have concerns and dare not speak out publicly, but whether it is really related to it remains to be seen.
Check."
"At that time, the princess disappeared, and it was reasonable for the Feilong Army to enter the pagoda to search. This matter still needs further investigation, but I am bold enough to ask for your majesty's permission to allow the commander of the Feilong Army, Lord Meng Tianqi, to cooperate with me in the investigation."
Eunuch Hong secretly knew that Zuo Pingdao acted with restraint. Meng Tianqi was not something that ordinary people could command. Even Prime Minister Tang had to stay out of the way. Not to mention that he might be in trouble if he rashly went to find Meng Tianqi. Can he see him?
Everyone has to say something.
Except for Emperor Yuan, no one in the palace knew where Meng Tianqi and the flying dragon army were!
Only when major events happen, they will appear in uniform clothes, such as Chen Ci's time and Huangsi's time. But who would have expected that these clothes would involve them in the assassination of the eldest prince?
Eunuch Hong closed his mouth tightly, and Zhao Lun stood aside without saying a word. After accepting Cao Jing and Bai Qian's advice, he endured the grief in his heart and finally called himself his son in front of Emperor Yuan, and accepted the name Xiao Lingyi. Now Emperor Yuan
I also treat him with some enthusiasm.
It's just that today, this matter has not been avoided by him. Whether he truly trusts him or is deliberately testing him, it's hard to say.
Cao Jing repeatedly reminded him not to write all his thoughts on his face. The truth is also false and the false is true. My sister also lived like this in those years. Zhao Lun clenched his fists and never looked at Emperor Yuan's face. He stared down at
On tiptoes.
"Yun." Emperor Yuan glanced at Zhao Lun standing beside him and said, "Commander Meng will go find you."
Zuo Pingdao did not dare to stay longer and was about to leave. Emperor Yuan said, "Where is the young minister of Dali Temple going to investigate? How long will it take to return?"
Mentioning Yi Zifeng, Zuo Pingdao had no expression on his face and lowered his head respectfully: "I ordered him to go all the way north from Sui City or stop at Beiguan. This trip will probably take a lot of time.
"
He mentioned Beiguan just casually, but Emperor Yuan's eyes lit up: "Beiguan?"
Zuo Pingdao's body trembled slightly and he secretly said that he was bad. Emperor Yuan was already afraid of Beiguan Zhenbeihou. His words were more like dragging Zhenbeihou into it. Emperor Yuan really snorted coldly and said: "Why didn't I think of it?"
, the Prince of Zhenbei is still in the capital."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince of Zhenbei Hou has been awarded the first grade after participating in the martial arts examination. He has been awarded the rank of general and will not leave the city for the time being." Eunuch Hong reminded: "The martial arts champion Nie Feng has already entered the Hanlin Academy and has not yet left the city.
Confer military service."
Emperor Yuan remembered that he had been thinking about how to deal with Chen Boyuan for a long time at that time. Although he knew that the prince's intentions in entering the capital were impure, on the other hand, he could be regarded as the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei who entered the city on his own and could also be a hostage.
