The jade wrench was wrapped in a soft cloth.The Yin of the Capital Mansion didn't dare to look at it, so he respectfully held it with both hands and handed it to Long Yanzhao along with the soft cloth.Emperor Yuwen lifted the soft cloth and glanced at it, and then fell silent.He had seen this jade wrench.I saw it when I was having dinner with Yang Er some time ago, and I was put on my hand by Yang Lin.Long Yanzhao knows it.I've seen it a long time ago, and I've seen it more than once or twice.This is the heirloom of the Yang family, exactly the same, there are two pieces in total.Chapter 26 The Flower in the Mirror, the Moon in the Water is really Master Gu's?
Long Yanzhao looked at the green jade wrench in his hand and asked uncertainly.According to the adult's description, there are also the characteristics of the four robbers who were caught, which should be.The officer replied below.Long Yanzhao looked at the small object in his hand and fell into deep thought.Suddenly, he grabbed the wrench in his hand and stood up from the spot.Return to the palace.No one dared to ask the emperor why he was going back to the palace again, just as no one dared to think deeply about why he suddenly came out.What's more, the emperor's face is not very good, which is obvious to everyone.I don't know where the wrench came from.It was surprising that His Majesty could suddenly change his expression after just one glance.Everyone bowed down to send His Majesty off, and before leaving, Long Yanzhao said to Yin of the capital Mansion: Tell Master Gu and let him go directly to the palace to see me.Be.The capital government Yin hurriedly replied respectfully.On the way back, Long Yanzhao sat in the carriage and looked at the wrench.He was also full of doubts, and he couldn't think of why the heirloom of the Yang family was in the hands of Gu Jingyuan, when Yang Jin died on the battlefield in the war conflict with the north, the specific situation Long Yanzhao later carefully investigated, but he couldn't restore all the experiences at that time.The only thing that knows is that it was a bloody battle.Then Yang Jin didn't come back.No matter how brave and good the soldier is, he will only turn into a speck of dust in the desert when he faces thousands of troops on the battlefield.The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the battlefield was littered with corpses.The corpses of many people in the sea of corpses and blood could not be distinguished, because they didn't even know whether General Yang was dead or alive.Long Yanzhao was far away in the capital at the time, and he was not yet in power, and he was beyond the reach of the whip, so he could only keep sending people to find it, to identify and regret that the news was transmitted back and forth too slowly, and when Long Yanzhao learned the news of Yang Jin again, it turned out that it was half a month later, Yang Chengxiang entered the palace alone, and told him that Yang Jin's body was found, and he was sent back to the capital by someone unknown.It was raining that day.Yang Jin's body had been taken care of, clean and tidy, without a trace of blood.Except for his pale face, he just looked like he was asleep, no different from the past, Long Yanzhao tried to remember the situation at that time.It seems that at that time, Yang Jin didn't wear the wrench on his hand.As Prime Minister Yang Cheng's favorite son, the most capable and influential person among the noble children in Beijing at that time, General Yang Shao had three treasures on his body.The first is the Tiger Talisman that is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Changji Battalion in the north.The second is his token as the Shadow One, commanding all the shadow guards.The third is the wrench.They are heirlooms of the Yang family.After the accident, the tiger talisman and token were sent back with the corpse, and then re-presented by Yang Chengxiang and returned to Long Yanzhao.Only that wrench, on the day of burial, Long Yanzhao noticed that he was not wearing it on his hand.But at that time, I only thought that Yang Xiang sent the white-haired person to the black-haired person, and learned from the pain, and took back the wrench or kept it in another form and buried it in the coffin, which was a family affair of the Yang family after all.At that moment when the old prime minister was overwhelmed and the old prime minister collapsed several times, how could he ask such a thing.But now that he thinks about it, Long Yanzhao clenched the wrench in his hand and let the lines on it sink deep into his palm.After returning to the palace, the first thing he did was to call Shadow Two.The emperor got straight to the point, directly showed the wrench to Ying Er, and asked: Do you recognize this wrench?
Kageji glanced at it, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he knelt down on one knee, made a guard salute, and replied: I recognize, it seems to be something that the former general often wore.Long Yanzhao carefully looked at his reaction, his expression unmoving.Just checked the wrench in his hand and asked: Then do you know where this thing went after General Yang fell?
I don't know what to do.Kageji replied respectfully, not looking up.The Ninety-Five Venerable sat on the dragon chair, and his voice came faintly from top to bottom, with unprecedented majesty and horror: Shadow Er, you won't have something to hide from me, right?
I don't dare to do it.Kageji buried his head lower this time.He tried to ask: Why did Your Majesty say this?
Long Yanzhao did not answer.He got up from his seat, put his hands behind his back, and walked up and down the ground in great irritability.The room was terrifyingly quiet, only the sound of the emperor's footsteps.Long Yanzhao walked like this, observing Kageji's reaction.As the shadow of His Majesty, even in front of His Majesty, the shadow guard is dressed in masked black.What's more, not to mention that he himself is covered with his face, even if his head is buried so low now, Long Yanzhao can't see anything.Although he had already expected it, he couldn't ask anything in Kageji.When Yang Jin had an accident, all the shadow guards stayed in the capital, and no one knew what happened on the battlefield at that time.They still don't know where Yang Jin went for half a month after he disappeared, what happened, and who sent his body back to Yang's family.Long Yanzhao finally said: Get up.He rubbed the jade edges on his fingers, looking thoughtful.Yang Jin sometimes has to change his hidden identity, and when he goes out on a mission, he will naturally not wear such an obvious shape and bright color wrench on his hand, otherwise it will be easy to be recognized.So it is not ruled out that he lost his wrench and was picked up again.But why is that person Gu Jingyuan?
When Gu Jingyuan and Yang Jin Gu Jingyuan entered Beijing, it was already the second year after Yang Jin's death.It stands to reason that they would not have known each other.How old was Gu Jingyuan at that time?
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy is still a weak scholar who reads well, how could he have anything to do with the late young general Dayi.But once you start assuming that they might know each other is like a messy thread being pulled at the end of a thread, a lot of things become intriguing.For example, Gu Jingyuan was introduced by Prime Minister Yang Cheng.If he hadn't known that Gu Jingyuan was Yang Youwei's person early on, he wouldn't have let himself be so close to him.For another example, Ah Yuan doesn't have any friends in the capital, but he is the closest to Yang Lin, and he gives him enough face, and of course he can't rule out that this wrench is the second young master Yang's, and everything is because he thinks too much.But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root in the hearts of people.In particular, there is one thing that he cares about the most, that is, Gu Jingyuan's gaffe today, and why did he suddenly leave the city?
What kind of special day is it today Long Yanzhao's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he said to Ying Er: You go down and get busy.Be.Shadow II replied.From kneeling down to quickly straightening up and standing away, Kageji only completed it in an instant.But when he hadn't completely stepped out of the emperor's field of vision, he was still stopped: Wait, you go and invite Prime Minister Yang Cheng to me, and say that I have something to ask him.Be.No, don't look for Prime Minister Yang.Long Yanzhao said again: You take two people to find Yang Ergongzi and secretly bring them into the palace to see me.As he spoke, he told again: Remember, don't alarm anyone, just bring him in.During this period, no one is allowed to have a conversation with Yang Ergongzi, including you.Humble Command.Shadow two.Long Yanzhao called him again, looking at him with deep eyes, and there were some yin owls faintly in it.He looked him in the eye and asked word by word: I can still trust you, right?
Of course.Ying Er hurriedly knelt down again, humblingly swore allegiance to His Majesty.Long Yanzhao waved his hand, looked a little tired, and said: Well, let's go.Ying Er answered again, a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back, but he stiffened, not daring to show a trace of abnormality in front of the saint.After leaving the side hall, Shadow Er jumped directly onto the roof, doing their job, it was much more convenient to walk on the roof than on the ground.It's just that before the others jumped out of the side hall, they saw a slender figure wrapped in red clothes slowly entering the hall.Gu Jingyuan, who received a notice from the capital government Yin, had already entered the palace.Gu Jingyuan changed back to the red clothes he was used to wearing.Today, his waist is still tied high.The length of the coat was almost ankle, and with the pace of Master Gu, the clothes flew up, and it seemed that his pace was calm and his posture was domineering.He glanced up in the direction of Kageji, and walked straight forward as if he hadn't noticed his existence at all.As one of the very few people in the palace who knew about the existence of the shadow guards, every time he met in the palace, Gu Jingyuan pretended not to notice anything.This is the norm.It is also a kind of protection for their shadows.This time was no exception.After a slight pause, Ying Er hesitated for a moment, and found that Master Gu had already walked straight into the hall.The shadow has always been loyal to the emperor.Kageji reminded himself like this in his heart, and he rose up again, this time without hesitation, and did what His Majesty commanded.Gu Jingyuan came to the emperor's study alone, handed over the heavy weight to the eunuch in the outer room, and walked into the hall as usual.Long Yanzhao had already taken out the "National Policy" again and read it.The wrench was placed on the bookcase by him, and Gu Jingyuan saw it at a glance, his eyelashes drooped, and he tried his best to salute Long Yanzhao as usual.See the Emperor.Get up.Putting down the book in his hand, which had no idea what it was about, Long Yanzhao looked up at Gu Jingyuan, and somehow, most of the anger and suspicion that had been brewing in his heart suddenly dissipated.The sword raised his eyebrows, and the emperor said to Gu Jingyuan: Come here.After successfully holding Master Gu in his arms and holding the narrow waist, Long Yanzhao took the lead in asking him: Ah Yuan has not been injured, right?
Gu Jingyuan smiled softly at him: The minister didn't have anything, it was originally just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to alarm His Majesty.Long Yanzhao asked: Is it really okay?
Gu Jingyuan said: Yes.Long Yanzhao pulled the person directly to his lap and sat down, and said, "But I still don't feel at ease, I have to check Lord Gu well."
Gu Jingyuan still just smiled faintly.didn't speak or refuse, An An sat in his arms separately, looking at his mercy, so well-behaved that he didn't speak.Realizing that Ah Yuan was still the same Ah Yuan, the doubts in Long Yanzhao's heart faded a little.He checked Master Gu with his hands irregularly, and asked him: Say, what did Ah Yuan do when he went out of the city today?
The minister just had nothing to do today, so he went to the outside of the city to take a walk and relax.Trip?
Long Yanzhao slowly looked at his eyebrows, only to feel that although this answer was reasonable, it was too ordinary.It's so ordinary that it makes people feel weird.He stretched out his arm again, hooked the jade wrench on the case, and pinched it on his fingertips.I heard that Ah Yuan's things were taken away by those robbers, you see, but this object?
Gu Jingyuan glanced at it as he said, exactly.Resisting the urge to take the thing directly from His Majesty's hand, he looked at Long Yanzhao with a pair of black and white eyes: This object is very important to the minister, can Your Majesty return it to the minister?
Important?
Long Yanzhao's tone was very slow.The gaze also slowly echoed on the wrench and Gu Jingyuan's face, inch by inch, eager to shave people's hearts and skin hurt.Then he took a deep breath and laughed softly: What an important method, Ah Yuan told me.Gu Jingyuan said: It is a gift from a close friend, so it is extremely important.Friend?
Long Yanzhao's eyebrows raised a few more times, and a dangerous and abusive aura suddenly erupted, almost sweeping the entire study.He tried to keep himself in a normal and concerned tone and asked, "What kind of best friend?"
Before Gu Jingyuan could say the answer, there was a commotion outside the hall, and the second shadow who had gone out on a mission had already turned back.On the lord, Yang Ergongzi brought it.Hmmm!
Yang Lin was brought back directly from the roof beams with light power covering his eyes and mouth.He thought that he had been kidnapped, and he was very frightened, but now he was finally let go, and he hurriedly untied the black cloth on his eyes, and saw the golden and brilliant scene in front of him.At this time, Gu Jingyuan had already sat up from the emperor's arms, and the first thing he saw was Long Yanzhao, who was sitting alone behind the bookcase.Dengshi was even more stupid with fear.Emperor?
Emperor?!
Yang Lin shouted in surprise, Mom, it turned out to be the emperor!
I was scared to death, I thought someone was going to kidnap me!
At least it wasn't kidnapped, Yang Lin felt a little crying of joy at this moment.But when he realized that he was facing the Ninety-Five Venerable, he reacted, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and quieted down.The grass people see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his hands naturally supporting the ground.The five fingers were separated, and they were clearly visible, and the wrench he had worn on his thumb during the last meal together was missing.Long Yanzhao's eyebrows couldn't help but raise even higher.Flat.Yang Lin got up from the ground tremblingly, he looked at the emperor, and then at Gu Jingyuan who was standing behind the emperor, completely stunned, looking like he was obviously full of doubts but didn't dare to ask.Long Yanzhao had been watching his reaction.Then he looked at Gu Jingyuan again, but he didn't ask anything after all.didn't mention the fact that Lord Gu almost lost the wrench given by his best friend because he encountered bandits, he just asked Yang Ergongzi to be sent out of the palace intact.During this period, Yang Ergongzi still had a question mark on his face.His reaction didn't seem to be fake, and after he left, Long Yanzhao finally handed back the ring that he was playing with in his palm to Gu Jingyuan.The emperor suddenly became pleasant at this time.He said: If it was given by Yang Lin, it was indeed a close friend's thing, no wonder Ah Yuan was so nervous.Gu Jingyuan took the ring, lowered his eyebrows, and said respectfully: Thank you, Your Majesty.Vision.Long Yanzhao called him again.
