On the sixth day of the October 10th, after suffering assassination, Han Jian and his party headed to Luoyang City... Because the road outside Luoyang is smooth, the party will arrive in Luoyang City in the afternoon.

At this time, Luoyang City was preparing for a welcome. King Ji Yang Yu got up in the morning and went to the Censorate. He had heard the results of the investigation of the detained ministers in the third department. Before he could leave the Censorate, someone came to invite him to see him, saying that there was an important matter to discuss.

"Let the people come and go to the side hall to wait." Yang Yu was in a bad mood and gave an order to the person under his opponent.

Yang Yu originally wanted to make a quick decision. After detaining some ministers, he could quickly put the case on charges and confirm the case, but after these days, the situation was very unoptimistic. Some ministers had no evidence of guilt to be investigated, and they were convicted just because they were lazy in their work. He was afraid that people would not accept it. Therefore, he has been urging the people in the three ministers to get things done these days.

When Yang Yu arrived at the side hall, the people had been waiting for a long time.

A middle-aged official in his forties was not wearing any official uniforms. When he saw Yang Yu coming in, he stood up to salute, and he didn't look very hasty.

"What's the matter with this urgent need to find the governor?" After Yang Yu became the governor, he became much more extreme in his work, and the ministers below also criticized him. However, the opposition below was basically suppressed, because those straightforward ministers are basically in prison now.

The person who came was named Li Qian, and he was a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. His official rank was not high in Luoyang City, but he could easily see Yang Yu, who was the governor of the country.

"Your Highness, the Eastern King was assassinated yesterday." Li Qian said.

"Oh?" Yang Yu was a little surprised and asked hurriedly. "Are you dead?"

Li Qian shook his head slightly and said, "The King of Dong is naturally safe."

Yang Yu's face darkened, and he seemed to sit on the chair inadvertently, and asked, "Who is so brave? But can you find out the reason?"

"The assassin was not sent by His Highness?" Li Qian asked.

Yang Yu said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you mean that our country wants to assassinate the Eastern King? Didn't you notify you the day before yesterday? The Eastern King returned to Luoyang and asked him to just return. Everything is of great importance this time, and there must be no more trouble in the capital. Who assassinated the Eastern King?"

Li Qian shook his head slightly and said, "Your Highness doesn't know, and that minister doesn't know. Today, the escort station outside Luoyang arrested two suspicious people. According to investigation, they were the followers who assassinated the Assassin of the East King yesterday and the person who assassinated the East King. It is said that they are brothers Zhang Yu, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Rites. Your Highness should know, right?"

"Zhang Yu? There are so many people in the Ministry of Rites. Is it possible for everyone to recognize this country? You said so much. Do you still suspect that the country will send someone to assassinate the Eastern King?" Yang Yu looked at Li Qian coldly and said.

Li Qian bowed and said, "I dare not judge the prince, but I reminded Your Highness that even if you want to kill the Eastern King, it should not be the present. In this extraordinary period, the most important thing is that Your Highness will successfully ascend the throne. As the lord of the outer vassal, as long as he does not have an army in the capital, everything is still under the control of Your Highness?"

Yang Yu said in a deep voice: "I don't need to remind you. When will the Eastern King arrive in Luoyang?"

"Today, Your Highness should go out of the city to greet him personally to show his solemnity." Li Qian said.

"What is the King of the East? If he doesn't die, he still needs the governor to welcome him? Li Qian, you are becoming more and more presumptuous. Is the errand your master giving you not to help the governor ascend the throne smoothly, but to keep saying irrelevant things here?" Yang Yu said, "The governor is busy with official business and cannot send him off. Please go back."

Li Qian smiled and said, "Since Your Highness is unwilling to greet him in person, should you send someone to welcome him? Otherwise, the King of Eastern would definitely think that the assassination yesterday was sent by Your Highness."

"How much does the King of Eastern doubt have to go, let him go." Yang Yu said, and left with his sleeves.

Li Qian cleaned up his appearance and went straight out of the Censorate. Outside the Censorate, there was a person waiting for the news.

"How?" The waiting person saw Li Qian coming out and asked.

"He said it was not the King of Dong that he sent to assassinate." Li Qian signaled to speak in the carriage, and the two left, and Li Qian said, "But his words are almost credible, unknown."

The waiting man said, "Who else will besides King Ji who wants to die now?"

Li Qian looked back at the man and asked, "Has the origin of the Zhang brothers been found out?"

"Who cares about the two minor officials of the Ministry of Rites who do not show off their mountains or show their waters on weekdays? It is not easy to find out in a moment. But it is hard to say how much they have to do with King Ji."

Li Qian said: "That's just that I don't know anything?"

"That's not the case." The man said, "I went to check the Ministry of Personnel and the Fengcha Department. I found that these two brothers only served as officials in the Ministry of Personnel last year. They were both teaching in the tribute courts before, and the person who recommended them was Li Wei, the former assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. Are you strange about this?"

Li Qian stopped and looked at the man in surprise and said, "Li Wei? What the hell is going on? Is it ours?"

"Before Li Wei died, he never mentioned these two people. It seems that things were not that simple. It is reported that Li Wei once sold official positions and titles, and it may be because he accepted some people's benefits, so he promoted these two people."

Li Qian suddenly felt his scalp numb and said, "Now that big thing is about to be done, even that woman has become a toothless tiger, and that little boy obeys us in everything. We are not afraid of the Eastern King. He has no power in the capital, and his soldiers have been transferred back to Jiangdu long ago. But if someone wants to take advantage of the chaos, it may ruin the great affairs of the Lord."

"Sir, say..."

"Who else will besides us who want to die now?" Li Qian asked.

"That may be no one. It is reported that the King of the East returned north and passed through the territory of the King of the South. When he came from Yuzhou, the King of the South also intended to detain the King of the East and prevent him from returning north. Later, if he didn't know what happened, the King of the South actually sent someone to escort the King of the East and went north. Could it be that the King of the South wanted the King of the East to leave the land of Yuzhou and then sent someone to kill the King of the East, so that people would not suspect that it was his cause?"

Li Qian pondered slightly and said, "I heard that there is someone who has some grudges with the East King."

"Well? Prince Yanning? He is openly seeking over to us and has helped us walk around here recently. At the beginning, the Lord suspected that Prince Yanning was sinister and said that this person had to be careful. But at this critical moment, Prince Yanning might not be so irresistible. You know, the death of the Eastern King is not good for him."

Li Qian sighed slightly, "No matter what, in half a month, the matter will be settled. When the East King comes back, it may not necessarily cause waves. In any case, you must keep an eye on the East King's Mansion. Even if the East King wants to make small moves, let him go first. When the matter is completed, the East King should also understand the current affairs. The Lord said that the important thing now is to stabilize Luoyang. As for the East King and the two disasters, it will not be too late to eliminate them in the future."

As the two said, the man had already got on the carriage, and the carriage hurried towards the direction of the Ministry of Personnel. The matter of originally preparing to welcome the King of the East to Luoyang was left unresolved. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
