Chapter 243 Everyone is moving

It was just midday when Li Ke returned to the mansion. He finished lunch with Yang En, Chen Qi, Zhu Tong and Wang Zhongchang. He told the three of them to go to the schoolyard in the backyard to practice martial arts when they had nothing to do, or to go to the stable to help the groom feed the horses, but they didn't want the three of them to go out to the Han Palace to show off. Although the three of them didn't know why Li Ke suddenly arranged them like this, they still bowed to take the order.

After dinner, Li Ke locked himself in the study and began to look through the medical books left by Li Shimin in the study. Li Ke's purpose of reading medical books was very obvious. He wanted to understand the functions and special effects of the toxic kidneys in the queen. Today, what he said to Wei Zheng reminded himself that Wei Zheng wanted to preserve the evidence of the medicine residue. Therefore, he wanted to read the books and carefully understand the effects of sandalwood in the kidneys. However, Li Ke unexpectedly discovered that this kind of medicine called Diyejia in the record. According to medical records, during the Sui Dynasty, during the Fulin Kingdom (i.e., the Great Qin and the Eastern Roman Empire) sent envoys to offer Diyejia. Li Ke naturally found Diyejia was an ancient Western medicine, and its main ingredients were opium, etc.

The words opium? poppy? suddenly jumped into Li Ke's mind. According to the records of medical books, there were drugs that were combined with opium in the Sui Dynasty, so it was not difficult to find the seeds of opium. If so... Li Ke suddenly had a crazy plan in his mind. At the same time, he read the detailed description of the book several times and confirmed that the main ingredient in the book was opium. In the Sui Dynasty, Fulin Kingdom paid tribute to the drug "Diyega".

Li Ke's face, who closed the book, showed a very yearning expression on his face. After a while, his expression returned to his original state. Then he looked at the name of the medical book, "The Sutra", which was a handwritten copy, probably a lonely copy found by Li Shimin. He carefully wrote the contents of opium on a piece of paper, and properly preserved the medical book in the pavilion of his study table before giving up! At this time, Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Deng Tongda, and four left-wing people came to the Han Palace to meet Li Ke. Li Ke ordered Yang En to take the four people to the study room. Yang En bowed to accept the order, and soon he took the four people to the study room.

Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui and Deng Tongda, left wing walked into the study to salute Li Ke. Li Ke ordered them to sit down. Yang En asked the Eagle Guard to serve tea. Before Li Ke could ask them to ask why they came to the palace, Liu Rengui suddenly "splashed" and said, "Your Highness, I will disappoint you. Today, someone impeached the general, saying that the general was the former of the Han Palace, and now he serves as the Qianniu Guard Palace. Because the queen was poisoned by the queen, the general should avoid it as the old subordinate of the Han Palace. Therefore, the prince has issued an order to remove the general from his post and wait for the appointment of the Ministry of War at home."

"Really?" Li Ke suddenly stood up from the couch and asked with joy on his face.

"Your Highness, the official documents of the Ministry of War are just here. General Mo has let down His Highness's high hopes and can no longer complete the task assigned to the General Money last night. Please ask Your Highness to atone for his sins." Liu Rengui said sincerely, which made Li Ke, who was happy for Liu Rengui's resignation suddenly turn red.

"Random, I am happy for you!" Li Ke saw everyone staring at him with surprise. Why was he so happy after hearing Liu Rengui's resignation? He explained in time, "There are too many troubles in the palace. It's not like you who are determined to fight in the battlefield. Since the father has revoked his position this time, why don't you volunteer to work at the border?"

After Li Ke said that, everyone present was relieved of surprise. At the same time, they were all happy that Li Ke was able to consider Liu Rengui everywhere. After all, Liu Rengui's dismissal was a blow to Li Ke. At the critical moment when the queen and imperial concubine poisoning case was in progress, Liu Rengui's position in the palace played a great role in Li Ke. Now that his dismissal made Li Ke lose his own strength in the palace. How could Li Ke not know the consequences of Liu Rengui's dismissal for him? However, not only did he not blame Liu Rengui, but he was happy that he left the palace, a place of right and wrong. Just imagine that everyone present was all subordinates of Li Ke. What they most hoped was to see such a boss, how could they be unhappy.

"Your Highness! It doesn't matter if Mo General has lost his official position, but it delays the matter of what Your Highness ordered. Mo General is ashamed of Your Highness!" Liu Rengui said guiltily.

Li Ke knew Liu Rengui's talent and his loyalty. He stepped forward and helped Liu Rengui up and comforted him, "No need to worry, what you have to do now is to write a letter to your father and go to the border to serve. I think at this time, the father and the ministers in the court will definitely not oppose your volunteering. As for where you want to go? Think about it..." Li Ke said that he began to ponder here, and after a moment, he had another idea, "You go to Youzhou."

"Youzhou?" Liu Rengui said in confusion, "Why don't your highness let Mo Jiang come to Taiyuan to help you?"

"You go to Youzhou first. I will have important things to tell you to do in the future. I am really worried about letting others be me." Li Ke said, "When you go to Youzhou at this time, and when I ask you to do that in the future, I will be able to block the mouths of some people in the court. They will no longer suspect that I have ulterior motives."

"Okay!" Liu Rengui replied simply, "I will write to the emperor to Youzhou when I go back."

"Yeah" Li Ke nodded with satisfaction.

Li Ke suddenly arranged Liu Rengui to Youzhou, and everyone present was unsolved, especially Ma Zhou, who had always been extremely smart, was also puzzled. However, when he saw Li Ke's seriousness about Liu Rengui, he gave up the idea of ​​asking Li Ke.

"Your Highness, I have organized the censors of the Censorate to impeach Liu Zhenghui according to your intention. The content of the impeachment is that he deliberately wanted to commit the crime of poisoning the queen during the public trial today." Ma Zhou said.

"Yeah!" Li Ke said with satisfaction, "You are right, Binwang. Today, Liu Zhenghui deliberately implied in court several times that I was the mastermind who poisoned the queen and the imperial concubine, and kept encouraging Zhang Zhong to say perjury. Humph! He felt that it would be great if someone behind him supported him. I don't believe that the people behind him are powerful or the Censorate has great power."

"Your Highness, the Censorate is indeed very powerful. It is not a problem to deliberately impeach all officials, even Changsun Wuji, but in the end it depends on the emperor's intention!" Ma Zhou sighed, "The arrangements of the three judges of the three churches are very clever. There are Liu Zhenghui on the crown prince's side, Wang Gui on the Yue side, and Dali Temple Ministers who tend to be Dali Temple. Therefore, it is difficult to cancel the qualification of Liu Zhenghui for jury through the Censor's impeachment method."

"Bin Wang, I have already thought of this, so I didn't think about disqualifying him from the jury. I just wanted him to restrain his arrogance." Li Ke smiled, "If Liu Zhenghui's jury qualification is disqualified, I am really worried that the person who replaced him would be a person like Changsun Wuji?"

"What Your Highness said is, then I will do what Your Highness wants." Ma Zhou also smiled and agreed. The smiles of the two made Deng Tongda on the side look like a normal person's smile, and it felt a little like a collusion.

"Well," Li Ke turned his gaze to Deng Tongda and the Left Wing, "Do you have any gains?"

"Your Highness, I have no clue yet..." Deng Tongda spoke very quietly, and he seemed to be inconvenient compared to Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui, for fear that Li Ke would blame him.

"You really can't be too impatient to avoid omissions. You Chang'an County Government and your own official duties need to be handled. I am not good at you." Li Ke said understandingly, "But I don't know if there is any major case in the county government recently?"

"Your Highness, the county government has not had any major cases recently. Every day, it is just a dispute between some merchants and property in Chang'an City." Zuoyi replied, "But please rest assured that the minister has already ordered the Tugu Tiger Envoys Group to monitor the inn for twelve hours as per Your Highness's order. Whenever there is any news, he will report it to His Highness immediately and will not disappoint His Highness."

"Well, Zuoyi! Don't worry, you can do things." Li Ke praised Zuoyi and asked, "Then Feng Guan, the coroner of your county government, has nothing to do recently, right?"

Deng Tongda and Zuoyi didn't know why Li Ke suddenly asked the coroner Feng Guan, but they knew that the coroner Feng Guan accompanied Li Ke in the case of Qian Ning in the ninth year of Wude. They were impressed by the method and asked Li Ke to ask Li Ke for books on autopsy, so they could tell Li Ke that Li Ke was familiar with the coroner Feng Guan. Therefore, today Li Ke suddenly mentioned the coroner Feng Guan, and Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi were not very surprised. Deng Tongda hurriedly said, "Report to your Highness, the coroner Feng Guan has been obsessed with studying the examination of corpses in the past year. There has been no major events in the county government recently, and he is also very leisurely."

"Well, then you can recommend him to Dali Temple today! Let him go to Dali Temple to test Xianglan's body and verify his cause of death. I will surely have a lot of gains." Li Ke said affirmatively, "Also, you want to recommend the coroner Feng Guan to the Shaoqing Dai Zhou of Dali Temple, and you also want to vaguely tell him that Zhang Zhong's life in the Ministry of Justice is unsafe. Apart from that, you don't have to say anything else, Dai Zhou's smart man, he knows what he should do."

Coroner Feng Guan and Li Ke are familiar with him. He left a deep influence on Li Ke in the case of Qian Ning in the ninth year of Wude. Li Ke appreciated not only his spirit of not being ashamed to ask, but also his professionalism in autopsy, a person from a coroner family. However, he saw that his autopsy was very novel and effective, so he asked himself for books and materials on autopsy regardless of his identity and life. Li Ke would not forget him even if he did this. Moreover, afterwards, Li Ke specially wrote a lot of content about autopsy in the "Xiwen Jilu" for him.

Li Ke had great expectations for Feng Guan at this time, hoping that his two years had not been in vain and that what he wrote to him had not been given to him in vain. As for the Shaoqing of Dali Temple Dai Zhou, Li Ke analyzed his personality and talent after he served as Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He was a military officer in the Qin Palace in the past, with a straightforward personality and a very familiar with laws and regulations. If Feng Guan was recommended to him, Feng Guan would investigate some clues that the imperial physician had not found from Xianglan, and coupled with Deng Tongda's reminder, with Dai Zhou's personality and ability, he would not not find out about the strangeness of this case.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do this later." Deng Tongda agreed with no slight agreement when Li Ke said it seriously.

"Yeah! Since that's the case, do you have anything to repay?" Li Ke asked, "If not, go ahead first! You can't stay in the palace for too long in a special period."

The issues that everyone should report had been reported, and Li Ke had arranged for him, so they did not dare to delay the matters they had arranged for him, so they immediately bowed to Li Ke and left the study.

Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi withdrew from the study, and Yang En and Zhu Tong walked into the study. When Li Ke saw Yang En and Zhu Tong appear in front of him at the same time, he knew that they had important things to report to him. Because, Yang En's Li Ke's mansion in charge of intelligence, and Zhu Tong's Li Ke's intelligence in Chang'an City was in charge of intelligence.

Zhu Tong looked at Yang En, and saw that Yang En had no intention of speaking. He knew that he wanted to give him the opportunity to speak, and did not dare to hesitate. He said to Li Ke, "Your Highness, the last highness, I received two news from the Eagle Guard: First, King Li You of Qi has been very close to the prince recently, and the relationship between the two seems very harmonious. Second, Hou Ruoyi went to the palace this morning. As for what she entered the palace for? Ying Wei has no suspicion in the palace, and I don't know yet, but according to the analysis of what the people of the Hou Mansion said, 80% of the reason why she entered the palace was related to His Highness's case."

Zhu Tong said here, and saw that Li Ke did not show any displeasure on his face because he mentioned Hou Ruoyi, he continued, "The Prince Yue Mansion has seemed very calm recently. After the trial today, Wang Gui was the only one who went to the Prince Yue Mansion."

"Li You and the prince are approaching, there will definitely be something going on. I ordered the Eagle Guard to keep an eye on Li You and anyone in the Qi Palace." Li Ke said seriously, "As for Hou Ruoyi, you should not investigate. I know what she wants to do."

Speaking of Hou Ruoyi, Li Ke felt ache and his tone slowed down a lot.

"Yes, I will understand!" Zhu Tong replied.

"Zhu Tong, you ordered the dark eagle in Chang'an City to pay close attention to the guards of Dali Temple and the prison cells of the Ministry of Justice. If you find suspicious people entering and leaving the prison cells in both places, you must keep a close eye on me, don't alert the snake, and don't take it lightly. If necessary, you must capture the suspicious people alive." Li Ke suddenly issued a very tricky order.

"I understand, Your Highness, don't worry, I will ensure that I will complete the task." Zhu Tong answered simply without asking the reason.

"Yeah!" Li Ke snorted, then picked up a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Yang Enda, "Old Yang, arrange for the people in the mansion to go to the Western City to inquire about the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, ask them if they have the seeds of this plant written above, and ask them if they can get it. If they don't have it or can't get it, you can send Hou Hu from Mobei to find a way to get the plant seeds recorded above for me from the Western Regions."

"I understand!" Yang En bowed.

"Old Yang, you have to be anxious about this matter. You should do it after I return to Taiyuan. At this special moment, the whole mansion should act cautiously and not give any help to those who are interested." Li Ke said cautiously.

"Don't worry, your highness, I understand!" Yang En bowed and replied, then left Li Ke's study with Zhu Tong.

Yang En and Zhu Tong left. When Li Ke thought of Hou Ruoyi's entry into the palace, his face showed a look of arrogance, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother, I've been waiting for a long time today! I hope you don't disappoint me!"
