Seeing his respectful look, the emperor felt a little more at ease.
He thought for a while and said: "You should prepare yourself in the past few days. After all other aspects are ready, I will send an imperial envoy to Yunzhong County. You will follow him and use your ability to investigate the case."
Apparently during these days, Zu An had solved various difficult cases beautifully, which made him recognize the other party's ability.
Zu An was not surprised that he would send another minister. After all, his status and qualifications were not enough to convince the public. This time he was going to investigate the Duke's case again, and the officials he faced were also very high-level. It would be more difficult for him to hide behind the scenes.
More convenient.
The emperor continued: "In addition, I will announce to the outside world that I will send a gold medal embroidered envoy to accompany me secretly. At that time, you will protect the safety of the imperial envoy and his party as the prince's concubine and Habayashi's general. In fact, you are also that person.
The messenger with gold medal embroidered clothes, do you understand?"
Zu An suddenly became depressed. He was protecting me openly and secretly. Can he give me two wages by working two jobs?
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you send another gold medal embroidered messenger to accompany you, or send some other generals with high martial arts skills to protect you? The minister was seriously injured in the secret realm before, and I'm afraid it's too much for one person..."
After all, there are officials behind him now. If I don't take advantage of this, I'll be sorry for myself. I go to charge into battle every time. Am I stupid?
Listening to his complaints, the emperor's eyebrows twitched. This guy was getting older and older.
He snorted and handed something over.
When Zu An received it, he saw that it was a volume of imperial edict. The emperor's words were already ringing in his ears: "If you arrive at Yunzhong County and encounter any master or situation that cannot be solved, you can open the imperial edict to help suppress it. How to ask specifically, Xiu Louhui
Someone teach you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zu An was overjoyed. He had never seen the power of this imperial edict in Mingyue City before. Once the edict came out, all the heroes were at a loss. With such a powerful weapon in hand, they were not allowed to walk sideways to Yunzhong County.
ah.
Of course, there are also hidden dangers, because the chanting before the imperial edict is a bit long and can easily be interrupted. He has also witnessed the tragic situation of those people in Huang Hui Hong before, so he still has to hold on calmly.
Suddenly his heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "The imperial envoy sent to Yunzhong County this time doesn't know if the emperor has a candidate?"
"It hasn't been decided yet..." The emperor showed a hint of exhaustion. This matter was of great importance. He had to consider all aspects. First of all, he must not use people from King Qi's lineage. Secondly, even if he uses people from his own side,
It’s not too safe. You have to know that these aristocratic families are all inextricably linked. Maybe the two families are enemies in terms of political opinions, but there are probably some people in the family who are like brothers, let alone the marriage between the families.
, so it is difficult to choose someone who is suitable in all aspects.
Suddenly he looked at Zu An warily: "Why are you asking this? Why, do you have anyone to recommend?"
"I do have someone to recommend," Zu An said.
"Tell me about it." The emperor was noncommittal.
Zu An said: "Master Duzhi, Mr. Sang Hongsang has good political integrity, is loyal to the emperor, and is a capable minister. He should be a suitable candidate."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and realized that Sang Hong was actually one of the candidates he had been considering these days, but there was a big difference between the one he chose and the one recommended by his ministers.
He said coldly: "Why, have you learned to form cliques now? I heard that you are very close to the Sang family."
"I am scared. I have absolutely no selfish motives in recommending Mr. Sang," Zu An explained. "No, strictly speaking, there is some selfishness. The main reason is that this trip to Yunzhong County is of great importance, and there are many doubts about the disappearance of Yunzhong County Duke."
, if the prediction is correct, there must be a huge conspiracy involved. If we go to investigate, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and may even jump over the wall in a hurry. If you find a pig teammate as an imperial envoy, you will be trapped in it instead.
We are in danger, so I naturally hope that the imperial envoy who goes with us is a capable person."
"There are many capable ministers in the capital, but these days I am handling cases in the capital and have offended many people... After thinking about it, I can only think of Mr. Sang. Although we had grudges in Mingyue City back then, I believe
His character will never involve personal grudges in major matters."
"Pig teammate..." Hearing this word, the emperor smiled knowingly. The word invented by this guy did have some meaning. When he heard that he admitted that he had selfish motives and had old grudges with Sang Hong in the past, his solemn expression softened a bit.
But he didn't show anything, "You don't have to worry about the imperial envoy, I will make my own decision."
"Yes." Zu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing what he said, Sang Hong was probably stable, and it was not in vain for me to take such a big risk and recommend him.
After coming out of the Imperial Study Room, Eunuch Wen took him to the Taiyuan Hospital. While asking the Taiyuan Hospital to grab some precious medicinal materials to soothe the nerves and replenish the Qi, he sighed: "Master Ancestor, I haven't seen anyone with such a holy family member as you in so many years.
"
"The emperor's grace is so great..." Zu An responded with a smile, but his heart was extremely calm. All these were not the benefits that the emperor wanted to give him, and he had to try his best to obtain them.
But he was still very happy, because among the medicinal materials given by the Taiyuan Hospital, Tianhezhi was included, which is the main material for refining Juyuan Dan.
…
After bidding farewell to Eunuch Wen, Zu An went back to the East Palace. Bi Linglong still didn't see him, and she was obviously still angry from that day.
Zu An hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell her that he was going to Yunzhong County for the time being. Telling her in a few days would be more effective.
After coming to the East Palace to show her that he had gone to the imperial study and everything was fine, he found an opportunity to leave the palace.
Instead of going back to his Viscount Mansion, he went to Sang's house first.
After listening to him tell what happened in the royal study, Sang Hong sighed: "You have made a dangerous move."
Zu An looked calm: "Uncle, you won't always be willing to take a back seat. This trip to Yunzhong County is a good opportunity."
Although Sang Hong has now been re-appointed as Duzhi Shangshu and is nominally in charge of the country's financial expenditures, the relevant powers are controlled by the big guys at the Shangshutai, and he is just an executor.
In other words, he does the tiring chores in daily life, but others take the credit and benefits.
"My nephew gave me a big gift," Sang Hong was a little grateful. Although he was optimistic about the other party, he didn't expect that the other party would reciprocate the gift so quickly. "But this time you took too big a risk."
Sang Qian on the side also looked at Zu An blankly. When the Sang family's holy family was prosperous, they were surrounded by all kinds of flatterers. After the Sang family's incident, she had seen what the world was like.
She finally understood her father's good intentions, and alliance with Zaun was indeed a wise choice.
Zu An smiled and said: "Uncle, you're welcome. Although I took some risks this time, the emperor is more concerned about the affairs of the Yu family. Naturally, he wants to choose truly talented people to go, so it just looks thrilling."
Sang Qian on the side was full of emotions. Earlier, Zu An's behavior in the political arena was still very immature, but after his father taught him a few times, he quickly learned like some old foxes who have been in the political arena for decades. This kind of talent is really
It's enviable.
"But things in Yunzhong County are not simple this time." Several people chatted for a while, and finally they all reached a unanimous conclusion.
Of course, it was precisely because it was not simple that they had the opportunity to go. They believed that with their own abilities, they should be able to handle the matter well, so they were not too worried.
After Sang Hong chatted with him for a while, he noticed that he looked around from time to time, so he said to Sang Qian: "Qian'er, take Azu to see your sister-in-law. He is well-informed and may have some ideas."
Sang Qian gradually became less resistant to this matter than before and readily agreed.
On the way to the inner room, Zu An asked hurriedly: "Qianqian, what happened to your sister-in-law?"
The blush on Sang Qian's pretty face disappeared in a flash. Although they had been in contact for so long, she was still not used to the other party's familiar address: "Sister-in-law, I don't know what's wrong. I have been having nightmares all night recently. Her spirit is getting weaker and her body is also losing weight."
I've invited many doctors to look at it, but they can't diagnose the cause."
Zu An was shocked. You must know that the physique of cultivators is much better than that of ordinary people. They rarely get sick. Once they get sick, it is a serious illness. And even the doctor can't diagnose the cause. Who knows if there will be any serious illness.
question.
He hurriedly quickened his pace, walking faster than Sang Qian, and ran straight to Zheng Dan's boudoir.
Sang Qian's expression froze in the back. This guy seemed familiar with the road. He thought he had been there many times before.
Zu An opened the door and saw Zheng Dan sitting in a chair in a daze. She used to be pretty and charming at all times, but now her face showed a frail and pale look. Even her round and charming oval face was now much thinner, almost turning into a oval face.
.
At this time, Zheng Dan subconsciously turned around, his originally dull eyes burst into joy after seeing Zu An: "Azu!"

Yesterday, I was watching the newly invented "Time and Space Companion" in Chengdu online, but I received a text message notification in the middle of the night. I also became a Time and Space Companion, and I burst into tears on the spot.
Today I ran to do a nucleic acid test again, and I was trembling.
