Chapter 144 Who?

Cining Palace.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu met with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager pulled Zhou Zhi to sit down with a look of joy on her face.

"Did Zhi'er go and pay homage to His Majesty?"

After sitting down, the Queen Mother looked at Shu Wang Zhou Zhi and asked.

Zhou Zhi nodded; "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have already paid my respects to the Emperor."

"My son came to Cining Palace to visit his mother after paying homage to the emperor's brother."

Zhou Zhi understood what the Queen Mother meant.

Now is no longer the time when I was still a prince.

One of them was crowned king and the other was enthroned.

The difference between monarch and minister still needs to be clearly distinguished.

"That's good."

"Zhi'er is living quite well in Shu. Have you suffered anything?"

"You haven't encountered anything along the way!"

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Zhi with concern.

Ever since Zhou Zhi granted the title of King of Shu and went to Shu, the Queen Mother has always been thinking about Zhou Zhi's son.

I was thinking about whether Zhou Zhi would suffer anything in Shu.

After all, the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away.

Even the Queen Mother, the mother of a country, is not immune to this.

Facing the Queen Mother's concern, Zhou Zhi felt warm in his heart: "Mother, my son and I have had a smooth journey and nothing happened."

"In Shu, my sons and ministers didn't suffer much."

"My son is the king of Shu, how can he suffer in Shu?"

Zhou Zhi said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded; "It's good that I didn't suffer."

"The Aijia are afraid that you will suffer outside."

Then, the Queen Mother asked with concern about Zhou Zhi's life in Shu.

Zhou Zhidu smiled and recounted everything one by one.

The two chatted like this for half an hour.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Zhi and reminded: "Zhi'er, a lot of big things have happened in the court recently, and there are also strange things happening in the court."

"Now that you have returned to Luoyang, you need to be more careful so that you don't accidentally get involved."

"Now, Your Majesty is different from before. You have to pay attention to some propriety."

"You have to know in your mind what you can do and what you can't do."

"Don't have too much contact with the ministers in the court. None of the ministers in the court are easy to deal with."

The Queen Mother instructed Zhou Zhi word by word.

Now, the situation in the court seems to be calm on the surface, but secretly, everyone can feel that there are still some undercurrents.

The Queen Mother did not want Zhou Zhi to be involved in the situation in the court after only returning to Luoyang for a while.

That's not what the Queen Mother wants to see.

Zhou Zhi heard the Queen Mother's instructions and naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant.

Zhou Zhi immediately said with a serious face: "Don't worry, mother, I will save you."

"I have also heard about the recent events in the court in Shu. I know the seriousness and will not be involved."

Regarding the Queen Mother's instructions, Zhou Zhi knew that this was the Queen Mother's concern for him, but he might have to live up to the Queen Mother's concern.

"As long as you know."

Seeing that Zhou Zhi had listened, the Queen Mother said nothing more.

Just stop talking about some words. The Queen Mother believes that Zhou Zhi can understand what she means.

…

Zhou Zhi stayed in the palace and finished the dinner with the Queen Mother. He did not leave the palace until night and returned to the Shu Palace.

As the king of Shu, Zhou Zhi still had his own Shu palace in Luoyang even if he was enfeoffed.

Returning to the Prince of Shu's Mansion, Zhou Zhi sat in his study and meditated.

After a while.

"Three virtues."

Zhou Zhi suddenly shouted.

"The old slave is here."

San De's figure suddenly appeared in the study quietly.

"In the past few days, everyone who visits the Shu Prince's Mansion has declined first."

"Especially the officials in the court, if anyone comes to visit me, they will be recommended to me."

"Not a single one."

Zhou Zhi said quietly.

Zhou Zhi knew that after he, the king of Shu, returned to Luoyang, many people would definitely come to visit him.

But at this time, he couldn't attract too much attention and had to keep a low profile first.

It is best to be a transparent person who is ignored.

Only in this way can he act more conveniently.

What's more, after the Queen Mother's instructions, Zhou Zhi realized that the situation in Luoyang was deeper than he imagined.

This forced Zhou Zhi to be more cautious and more cautious.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sande immediately understood what Zhou Zhi meant and nodded.

"There will be guests coming soon. Go outside and see if there are any eyes."

"If you have eyes, don't kill people, find a way to cover them."

Zhou Zhi waved his hand.

San De's figure immediately disappeared into the study.

…

late at night.

Zhou Zhi sat behind the desk, silently waiting for something.

A few minutes later, a ghostly figure walked into the study quietly.

"coming?"

"Follow me without a tail!"

Zhou Zhi glanced at the figures who walked into the study quietly and asked.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are no tails following you." The figure shook his head, his voice a little shrill.

"It's fine if you don't."

"Did any of the previous incidents in the palace get traced to you?"

Zhou Zhi looked at that figure.

"No." The figure shook his head; "If the old slave was found, with His Majesty's thunderous methods, the old slave would not be alive now."

Zhou Zhi heard this and nodded.

I think what the other person said is correct.

According to Zhou Chen's current behavior, if this figure is found, then this figure will definitely be dead or alive.

No matter who this figure is.

None of them can survive.

"There are some things that I still don't understand about the news you sent to me."

"How did your Majesty discover that Zhang De poisoned His Majesty?"

"How did His Majesty recover completely?"

Zhou Zhi asked again. This question has always troubled Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi wanted to know that after so many treatments by imperial doctors, Zhou Chen could not recover.

How did Zhou Chen's body completely recover in one fell swoop?

How did Zhou Chen find out that Zhang De poisoned him?

"have no idea."

"No one in the palace knows about this, maybe only Your Majesty himself and Zhang De, who is dead, know about it!"

The figure shook his head and said.

"What about Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu?"

"Where did these two people come from?"

"I know that neither the palace nor the royal family has such a powerful person."

Zhou Zhi looked at the figure again.

The figure continued to shake his head; "No one knows these, only His Majesty himself should know."

…

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the hall.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said with surprise, "Ziming, why did you come to Luoyang?"

"Luoyang has not been peaceful recently. You came at this time, but it's not the right time."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo looked at the middle-aged man and said.

This middle-aged man is none other than Yuan Ziming, the eldest son of the Yuan family.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo did not expect Yuan Ziming to come to Luoyang suddenly, but he did not receive any news in advance.

The situation in Luoyang is not good now. Almost most of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government are under the supervision of the Dongchang factory guards.

His Prime Minister Yuan Bo is no exception.

If Yuan Ziming comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, he probably won't be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the factory guards in the East Factory.

"Uncle, I have to come!"

"There are some things that cannot be explained clearly in a letter and are not safe."

"So, I can only come to Luoyang in person to talk to my uncle."

Of course Yuan Ziming knew the meaning of Prime Minister Yuan Bo's words. If he came to Luoyang to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Dongchang's eyes and ears.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Some things can be said in letters, but some things cannot.

For safety reasons, it is necessary for Yuan Ziming to come in person.

Otherwise, if there is a mistake, it will cause big problems.

Besides, what if it is not hidden from Dongchang’s eyes and ears?

As the eldest son of the Yuan family, he, Yuan Ziming, shouldn't have a big problem coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay homage to his uncle!

This is normal.

At most, it just attracts some attention from factory guards.

oh!

Prime Minister Yuan Bo's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood why Yuan Ziming came to Luoyang.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo had already received a letter from the clan before.

It seems that there is a charter for this matter.

"Uncle, the King of Shu should have returned to Luoyang!"

Yuan Ziming looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and asked.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo did not speak immediately, but said sternly to the housekeeper outside: "Butler, seal the surrounding area of ​​the hall and do not allow anyone to approach."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, powerful auras appeared in different directions around the hall, sealing the entire hall tightly so that not even a fly could get close.

Don't blame Prime Minister Yuan Bo for making a fuss out of a molehill.

In fact, what they discussed next was of great importance, and they had to be cautious.

If someone listened to it, it would be a big trouble.

After having people seal the hall, Prime Minister Yuan Bo nodded to Yuan Ziming, "The King of Shu also just returned to Luoyang today, and he entered the palace first as soon as he returned to Luoyang."

"Now, the King of Shu should have returned to the Prince of Shu's Mansion."

"I am planning to find an opportunity for someone to meet the King of Shu secretly."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo said.

After hearing what Prime Minister Yuan Bo said, Yuan Ziming immediately shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't send people to contact the King of Shu for the time being to avoid any mishaps."

"After all, the King of Shu has just returned to Luoyang. No one knows whether the man in the palace has sent someone to keep an eye on the King of Shu secretly."

"Just in case, it's better not to have contact with King Shu for the time being."

"When we were in Shu, we had discussed many things with the King of Shu. This is why I came to Luoyang in person."

Yuan Ziming said seriously.

Then, Yuan Ziming began to whisper something to Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

…

While Yuan Ziming and Prime Minister Yuan Bo were talking quietly.

The same scene also happened in the study room of the Minister of Revenue.

Shangshu Hube looked at the dirty figure in front of him who was dressed in coarse linen and linen, and his face was stunned for a while: "Shaohe, why did you suddenly come to Luoyang?"

"Also, why are you dressed like this? Could it be that you have been robbed?"

Shangshu Hube looked at the figure in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes.

Is this the direct young master of his Fan family?

This is simply a beggar in extreme poverty.

That's right, the person standing in front of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is none other than the young master of the Fan family, Fan Shaohe.

"Third uncle, if I don't do this, how can I hide it from others and enter your house, the Minister of Household Affairs, quietly?"

"How about it?"

"My outfit is not bad!"

Fan Shaohe pointed at his ruined image and said.

Hearing this, the Minister of Household Affairs' face darkened and he scolded: "How dignified are you? You are the young master of the Fan family. If word spreads like this, how will outsiders view my Fan family?"

"Do you think that with this method you can hide it from others and enter my mansion without anyone noticing?"

"Do you think those eagle dogs in Dongchang are eating dry food?"

"Hurry up and clean up."

The Minister of Household Affairs said angrily.

Although the Minister of Hubu didn't know why Fan Shaohe came to Luoyang suddenly, seeing Fan Shaohe's outfit, he thought there must be something important.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the dignified young master of the Fan family to dress up like a ghost and try to hide it from others.

However, in the opinion of the Minister of Revenue, this method is just to fool ordinary people.

Trying to hide it from Dongchang without anyone noticing is a fool's errand.

"Uncle San, I came here to tell you something important."

"Let's talk about things first!"

"Is it safe in this study?"

Fan Shaohe glanced.

The Minister of Hubu nodded: "If you have anything to do, feel free to tell me! There are people guarding the outside of the study, and no one can get close."

Hearing this, Fan Shaohe spoke seriously.

…

At the same time, the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment.

Zheng Wangzhi was also discussing something secretly with the Minister of Punishment.

None of this could be hidden from the eyes and ears of the factory guards in Dongchang.

…

Dongchang Station.

Cao Zhengchun sat on the factory official's chair and looked at a factory guard who was half-kneeling below him; "What did you say?"

"Someone entered the Prime Minister's Mansion at night?"

The half-kneeling factory guard nodded immediately; "Yes, Mr. Factory."

"Do you know who he is?"

Cao Zhengchun asked.

The half-kneeling factory guard shook his head; "I don't know, it's a strange middle-aged man."

"My subordinates have sent people to investigate."

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, his eyes flickered and he pondered.

After a while.

"Walk."

"Let's go take a look at Zajia."

Cao Zhengchun stood up and left Dongchang.

A few minutes later, Cao Zhengchun's figure appeared in a very hidden corner outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Manufacturer."

The two factory guards who were monitoring the Prime Minister's Mansion saluted Cao Zhengchun.

"Is anyone still inside?"

Cao Zhengchun asked.

The two factory guards nodded; "Yes, Mr. Factory."

Without saying a word, Cao Zhengchun jumped up and disappeared directly on the courtyard wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

…

In the hall.

Yuan Ziming and Prime Minister Yuan Bo were talking quietly.

Suddenly, a loud shout came.

"who?"

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Yuan Ziming's expressions changed, they immediately stopped their secret conversation, stood up and walked out of the hall.

"what happened?"

After Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Yuan Ziming walked out of the hall, they looked at the housekeeper seriously.

The housekeeper quickly explained, "Master, there was a movement on the roof just now."

"I thought some kid had sneaked in, but I didn't expect it was a cat."

The housekeeper is holding a cat in his hand.

However, the cat died in the hands of the housekeeper.

"oh!"

"Everyone please be careful and don't let anyone get close to the hall."

After Prime Minister Yuan Bo finished speaking, he and Yuan Ziming returned to the hall.

They continued to talk in low voices.

The two of them didn't realize at all that there was a pair of feminine eyes staring directly at them.
