Shangjing is the capital of Dai Viet. Its majesty, magnificence and prosperity cannot be compared with other places. The people who were born under the imperial city cannot know that in the distant frontier, there are still people who have neither enough food nor clothing to cover their bodies. People, in their hearts, Vietnam is strong and wealthy.

The palace that best embodies the spectacular scenery of Shangjing is the Royal Palace in Dai Viet. The huge palace complex is divided into two parts, namely the outer court and the inner court. Wuying Hall, as two wings, is the main place for the exercise of government affairs. The inner court is composed of Qianqingguan, Jiaotai Hall, Kunning Palace and the East and West Sixth Palace, which is the living area of ​​the royal family. According to the tradition of four pillars forming one room, there are With nearly 10,000 rooms, the palace complex is surrounded by the Forbidden City, which is 10 meters high and surrounded by a 52-meter-wide moat. The entire city has four gates, east, west, south and north, with the south gate being the Meridian Gate and the north gate being the Xuan Gate. Shen) Wumen, the east gate is Donghua Gate, and the west gate is Xihua Gate. There is a turret at each corner of the city. Each turret has nine beams, eighteen columns, and seventy-two ridges. The structure is complex and the style is peculiar. The layout of the entire building is strict and regular, with order of priority and order, making people feel a sense of awe when looking at it.

As the eldest prince of Dai Viet and the number one heir, the palace of the eldest prince Li Jian is located on Zhuque Street not far from the Meridian Gate of the South Gate. It covers an area of ​​about thousands of acres. Although it is not as magnificent as the palace, But it is also extremely luxurious. Compared with other princes, Li Jian does have a higher status and is more favored by the saints. Otherwise, his mansion would not be allowed to occupy this place.

"What did you say? Suo Wenhai was arrested by the Fourth Brother outside the city?" Li Jian didn't believe his ears, and looked at a guard kneeling in front of him to report. Li Jian was thirty-six this year, and his pampered life made him His body has gained weight prematurely, his belly has been bulged out, and he is strong. As a nobleman of the emperor, he has naturally formed a calm and self-defeating demeanor in his appearance and speech. His neatly trimmed beard makes him He looked extremely mature. When he heard the guard's words, his thick eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't believe it.

"The fourth child knows that Suo Wenhai is a useful person in my house, but he arrests him blatantly?" Li Jian raised his head with a sneer, "Is this unscrupulous? Are you going to break up?"

"Your Majesty, the fourth master arrested Suo Wenhai because Suo Wenhai abducted a good woman. Outside the city, the woman broke the carriage window and asked the fourth prince for help." The guard raised his head and glanced at Li Jian, and said cautiously: "According to the scene Someone said that Suo Wenhai claimed at that time that this woman was the one you wanted by name, the great prince."

"Bastard!" Li Jian was furious. He reached out and threw the blue and white porcelain tea bowl worth thousands of gold in his hand. "When did I ask them to get a woman for me? Why did I ask for a woman by name? Suo Wenhai, success is not enough, failure is failure. There is more than enough to do.”

"Your Majesty, we have investigated the whole story. This woman was sent back to the Prince from Lucheng by Mr. Wu. As for why, we don't know yet because Mr. Wu has not come back yet," the guard said.

"Wu Siyuan?" Li Jian was stunned. Wu Xianyuan was not an ignorant person. How could he bring a woman back from thousands of miles away?

"Go and investigate immediately, write a letter to Wu Siyuan, and find out the whole story!" Li Jian ordered.

"yes!"

"Also, Suo Wenhai, did your fourth brother hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment?" Li Jian asked.

"I went to inquire!" the guard said: "After the fourth master returned to the city, he did not hand over Suo Wenhai and the accompanying people to the Ministry of Punishment, but took them to the fourth master's other courtyard. The place was heavily guarded.

I can’t get close enough to find out the news.”

Li Jian sneered, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink! The fourth child wants to find my loopholes in Suo Wenhai to attack me. You go down first and find out as much information as possible. If you can see Suo Wenhai, then

That’s better.”

"Yes!" The guard bowed and retreated.

Li Jian pondered for a moment, then turned to look at a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar sitting on the side, "Mr. Xu, what do you think of this?"

Xu Enmao stood up and walked a few steps in the lobby, "Your Majesty, as you said, the Fourth Master is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking, but cares about you, Your Majesty. It doesn't matter who this woman is, whether she is the Great Prince or not."

The roll call is not important. Even if the matter of a woman is brought to His Majesty, what can you do? The key is Suo Wenhai. Over the years, Suo Wenhai has done a lot of things for you, and he also knows many hidden secrets in the palace.

I know a lot. The fourth master has been having a bad time these days. He was scolded by His Majesty for the household affairs a few days ago, so he must find something to divert His Majesty's attention, and you are undoubtedly the best.

It happened that Suo Wenhai didn't know what was going on and actually bumped into him. The fourth master was not overjoyed. If Suo Wenhai really said something, I'm afraid it would cause us big trouble."

Li Jian muttered: "Suo Wenhai is an old man in the house. He has been with me for many years. There is no need to say that he is loyal."

Xu Enmao smiled slightly and said: "My lord, how can I explain this kind of thing clearly? You also know that the fourth master is not a good person. If it falls into his hands, it will be difficult to keep the secret."

Li Jian frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Well, Mr. Xu, you handle this matter. Try to send someone to see Suo Wenhai first and tell him to tighten his teeth. Naturally, I can't treat him badly. As long as he has a little

If he is unfaithful, his wife and children will only want to live, so let him consider it himself."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Enmao said: "But we have to make two preparations for this matter. If it doesn't work, we can only take his life. Only the dead will not speak."

"Suo Wenhai is an old man in the house, wouldn't doing this make other people feel cold?" Li Jian hesitated.

"As long as he provides generous support to his family, it will be fine. Suo Wenhai acted carelessly and caused such trouble to you, the great prince. Death is the lightest punishment. Your highness, please provide generous support to his family, which will show your kindness even more."

Other people in the house will naturally understand your kind heart."

"You can take care of this matter!" Li Jian waved his hand.

"In addition, Wu Siyuan must notify him as soon as possible and stop this matter first! The risk is too great." Xu Enmao said.

"You are right. We have gained a lot in the past six months. We can stop for a while!" Li Jian said. "Let Wu Siyuan come back and ask questions about this woman."

Go to Maoer Hutong, the annex of the fourth prince Li Xiao. Taking Suo Wenhai and his party, Li Xiao went directly to the annex. The doctor who had been invited in advance was already waiting there and sent the unconscious Rou Niang in for treatment.

After locking up Suo Wenhai and others, Li Xiao finally stopped and carefully thought about all of today's plot and what he had to do next. The smile on his lips could not help but overflow.

"Your Majesty!" Princess Xinmei walked over.

"Why don't you go take a rest? Are you tired today?" Li Xiao stood up with a smile.

"Your Majesty, just now Chunhua washed the blood off that woman's face. When I saw the woman's face, I was shocked." Xinmei said with a shocked look on her face.

"Huh?" Li Xiao looked at Xinmei in surprise.

"Suo Wenhai said that this woman was appointed by the great prince. This seems to be true. That woman actually looks like eighty-nine points of the great prince's former concubine Yue'er." Xinmei said.

(Liu Xiang is injured again, so depressed! I really want to yell at you, uncle! I have been waiting for you for another four years, and it’s over like this? When you calm down and think about it, it’s not easy for him! Alas, a generation of legends has ended.
