As an old man around Qianling emperor, Qi Fu served before Qianling emperor ascended the throne. Because of the long service, Qi Fu knew more about what this token meant.
In fact, this token has no great value, but it is of great significance.
When Emperor Qianling was the fourth prince, the guards around him were called "tiger guards".
With emperor Qianling's accession to the throne and the reorganization of the surrounding forces, Huwei was divided into several parts, some of which were integrated into the military department, some of which were integrated into the criminal department, some of which went to the town gate, and some of them stayed in the University.
After being redistributed, the original positions of these tiger guards will naturally become the past. Their tiger orders will simply become the symbol of the emperor's old people.
However, it is not a myth that the monarch should be replaced with a million corpses.
Can be in the right of the confrontation, preserved, and can be used again, the value of skyrocketing, want to be extraordinary people.
The emperor entrusted these people with heavy responsibilities, and these people naturally paid back. At the end of the day, all they could leave were in high positions. What they could not leave, even the traces that had existed, were erased one by one.
In the end, among those who can stay, the tiger order becomes of great significance.
Qi Fu also has a tiger token. The token is not in his waist, but it is sewn in the sachet instead of being exposed directly.
Seeing such familiar token veins appear on Liu Wei, Qi Fu has to be surprised.
In the eyes of Qifu and even all the old people of Qianling emperor, the tiger order represents absolute trust, which is exchanged with time and achievements, which is the evidence of the holy kinship.
But now, it is so casually tied to a small young man.
Some of Qi Fu can't accept it.
Of course, Qi Fu also knows that the token he is so proud of can't be the existence of rotten street. That can only show that it's the emperor's preference for this Lord Liu.
Mingming hasn't met him for several times, and he can't even see how much memory the emperor has of this man. Now he suddenly gets such an important token from the emperor. Qi Fu's mood is very complicated for a while. Later, Liu Wei says some greetings with him, but he doesn't care.
The change of Qi Fu's expression naturally falls into Liu Wei's eyes.
Liu Wei looks down at the token at her waist, and a slight sneer is raised at the corner of her mouth. In her look, there is a thick contempt.
How could Liu Wei not know the meaning of "tiger order" when he was so close to Rong Ling?
Specifically speaking, there is such a tiger token on Rong Ling. In Rong Ling's view, it's a token to buy people's hearts.
And exactly, Liu Wei thinks so.
The loyalty of the tiger guards and the loyalty of their relatives are just means to win people's hearts.
It's said that emperor Qianling is good at giving kindness and prestige. He doesn't give you sweet dates, which makes you feel special. How can you live to do things for him.
This tiger token is useless except for its good looks.
You want to use it to get in and out of the palace? Sorry, I can't.
Do you want to use it to transfer troops? Sorry, I can't.
You want to use it to dictate? Sorry, I can't.
In addition to giving you the illusion that "I'm the emperor's confidant, I'm very powerful", there's no practical use for anything but what you want and what you can't do.
But Liu Wei can figure it out, Rong Ling can figure it out, but others don't think so, just like Qi Fu.
Liu Wei feels that Qi Fu's eyes are particularly unbalanced now, and he is not willing to expose them, but he can't hide them.
Today, Emperor Qianling gave this tiger token. Liu Wei understood that this was a trial and tentatively closed.
The reason is the same. Emperor Qianling wants Liu Wei to be his own nail and bring him important information about Rong Ling in the future.
It's just that emperor Qianling himself probably knew that he would not succeed, so after he gave the token, he didn't say anything more, and he didn't mention how "important" it was, so he let her go.
Of course, Emperor Qianling may also feel that he stressed how important the tiger was and how cheap it was. Liu Wei found that the effect would be doubled.
In short, no matter what the reason is, at least now, Liu Wei believes that with this tiger token, it will be much easier to walk in the palace in the near future.
Qifu here, first of all, will give you some convenience.
Now that we have received the tiger order, we will investigate the case immediately.
Originally, Liu Wei planned to start tomorrow, but Qi Fu did not know why. Before Liu Wei could say goodbye, he took the lead and said, "Princess Qinyang's body will be placed in the interior office. It's too early for adults to have a look."
Qi Fu is in such a hurry that Liu Wei would like to go back to have lunch first, which is a bit speechless.
After a moment's hesitation, Liu Wei nodded and said, "please show me the way."
Qi Fu smiled and said, "I can't do it to adults. I have to wait on the emperor. I can't leave. Little Qizi, you will take Lord Liu to the interior office..."The little Eunuch in front of Qifu immediately fell down and said, "yes, Shifu."
Liu Wei: "..."
It seems that this Duke Qi has a special opinion on her taking tiger order.
The imperial study is some distance away from the interior office. The eunuch, Xiao Qizi, walked very slowly. They walked around countless ways for half an hour before arriving at the front door of the interior office.
Xiao Qizi goes in to pass on the news and asks Liu Wei to wait.
As soon as xiaoqizi went in, he went in for a quarter of an hour.
Liu Wei stood outside and waited.
Xiaoqizi's mind is simple. Liu Wei can't see it. Xiaoqizi knows that Shifu Qifu doesn't like her. He is angry for his Shifu.
Slightly shook his head, Liu Wei also did not care about a half child, just the feeling of being dried, it is not good.
"Why, when did the house come to such a handsome little eunuch?" The male voice behind him suddenly rang out.
Liu Wei subconsciously looked back and saw a handsome eunuch with no hair. He was walking towards her with two little eunuchs.
Liu Wei, the eunuch's servant, recognized at a glance that, like Qi Fu, it was the dress of a first-class father-in-law. Liu Wei couldn't help but begin to speculate about his identity.
This person is also looking at Liu Wei. When she looks at each other, she always feels familiar when she sees her smiling eyes.
"Bold, where are the new comers? When they see us saluting our father-in-law, they don't salute quickly?" The little eunuch next to the big eunuch saw Liu Wei stabbing, and he shouted with his gloomy voice.
Liu Wei listened to the little eunuch's tone, and felt goosebumps were all getting up, slightly frowning. Today, Liu Wei didn't wear official clothes, but wore a common dress. Looking at it, it was really like a new eunuch who had just entered the palace and came to the house of internal affairs.
Just look like, doesn't mean that Liu Wei didn't want to take care of these three people, calmly turning around and directly skipping the words of the little eunuch.
The little eunuch suddenly got angry. Just as he was about to say something, he raised his hand to the father-in-law and stopped it. He smiled and said, "I don't know what to call you, this adult?"
Liu Wei looked back again, looked at the gentle face to Gonggong. After a moment of silence, she said, "my name is Liu."
Liu Wei did not deny the other party's "adult" name, that to Gonggong is also a man of wisdom, when even if the arch hand way: "Liu adult."
Liu Wei did not respond, but responded.
Just now, the little eunuch who spoke rudely to Liu Wei was scared. His head was buried and he dared not say a word.
Xiang Gonggong didn't say much to Liu Wei. Apparently, after knowing the identity of the other party, he stopped talking. A former minister appeared in the harem, or outside the house of internal affairs. He had to remind people of two Princess cases in the palace recently.
And just when Xiang Gonggong passed Liu Wei and was about to enter the gate of the house of internal affairs, inside, Xiao Qizi came out and bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Lord Liu, please come inside."
Liu Wei said "well" and walked ahead.
Liu Wei's eyes, when passing by the three Gonggong, happened to look at them. After a brief contact, they crossed peacefully.
After Liu Wei and Xiao Qizi went in, the little eunuch who was beside the Duke exclaimed, "isn't that Xiao Qizi, the little apprentice of Duke Qi? What is the identity of the man who works for Qizi to serve him? "
He sipped his lips to his father-in-law, didn't say anything, and then entered the interior office.
In the hall of the house of internal affairs, the official of Hangzhou came out to meet him.
Duke hang originally came to meet Liu Wei. It's said that this was a man who came down from above to investigate the case of Princess Qinyang. But when he came out, he saw not only Liu Wei, but also Xiang Gong who came in later.
Duke hang was shocked. He took the lead in greeting Duke Xiang: "Grandpa Xiang, how did you come back? You will not come back until next year
"The concubine returned to the palace ahead of time, and the miscellaneous family should follow her."
"The Empress Dowager has returned to the palace?" Mr. hang was surprised and a little embarrassed.
Sure enough, he immediately said, "Princess Yuping is in trouble. It's so important that no one in the interior office informs the Empress Dowager. When the empress returns to the palace, she sends the other family to ask him. Can you tell me, Mr. hang?"
"Here..." The Duke of Hang thought of how the empress dowager, who believed in the god Buddha, loved the jade girl before the Buddha, Princess Yuping, and his heart was filled with awe.
Then full of grievances, he said: "this is a lesson to my father-in-law It's really the emperor's order. I can't wait to disturb the purity of the Empress Dowager. That's right, that's right... "
She raised her hand to the father-in-law and said: "Princess Yuping is all right, but just after she returned to Beijing, I heard that Princess Qinyang was also in trouble. Princess Qinyang was born by the lady of the imperial concubine. The lady of the imperial concubine also saw the lady of the imperial concubine as her own. She heard that the house of internal affairs has no regulations on the death of the two princes. The mischievous family was specially appointed to ask if Duke hang was free three days later The Empress Dowager entered the palace, and asked the Duke of hang to explain to her in person at that time. "
Hearing the sweat on his head, Duke hang caught a glimpse of Liu Wei beside him, and immediately said: "Xiang Gonggong, this Lord Liu, is the emperor's special order to investigate the case of Princess Qinyang. Lord Liu's ability to solve the case is extraordinary. I don't know Xiang Gonggong, but I heard that the child missing case, which has been solved for three years, was solved by this Lord Liu. I think it will take three days to solve it Before the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, the case of Princess Qinyang had been solved by Lord Liu! "Hangzhou Gonggong said very excited, Liu Wei listened silently, and then he felt that the eyes to Gonggong fell on himself.
Liu Wei also looked back and gave him a look.
He smiled at the father-in-law, then raised his eyebrows and said, "so this adult is the one who discovered the missing child case a few months ago? When the miscellaneous family followed the Empress Dowager's wife in the temple to practice, they also heard about the deeds of adults. "
Liu Wei nodded slightly and said modestly, "I dare not."
Then Xiang Gong immediately said: "since the case of Princess Qinyang has been entrusted to the adults, I think the day of solving the case will be around the corner. If you can, please solve the case within three days. I'd like to talk back to the wife of the imperial concubine."
Liu Wei: "..."
With a sneer in her heart, Liu Wei didn't pay attention to the self talk to Gonggong.
Liu Wei only looked at Duke hang and said, "I have been ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of the princess. Now, where is the body of the princess to be placed?"
Liu Wei is so open-minded, and the Duke of Hangzhou is also alert. He immediately said, "it's in the cold room, sir. Please come here."
Liu Wei followed the Duke of Hangzhou all the way. When he looked back, he found that Xiang Gong also followed him.
Liu Wei frowned a little again, and looked at Xiang Gonggong. Xiang Gonggong smiled at Liu Wei again, and this smile made Liu Wei feel again that he was familiar with what he saw.
Just, where have you met?
The so-called cold room is exclusive to the house of internal affairs. It is filled with cold ice and is specially used to deal with the bodies of dignitaries.
Now it's winter. If it's a hot and dry season, there are dignitaries in the palace who died of illness or accident. Before the bodies are buried in auspicious days, they can't be stored at will. So, there's the ice room.
In Liu Wei's view, although the ice chamber is only for the noble people in the palace, it is basically a function with the modern morgue.
In fact, in Qujiang mansion, Liu Wei also let Fu Zichen repair a real morgue.
It's just that in summer, ice is hard to find, so the morgue is not worthy of its name, that is, a slightly chilly room and several stone beds.
After entering the ice room, Liu Wei found that the palace was the palace. The bed where the corpse was stored was actually made of full jade. Although it's not a good jade, the jade is cold. For the corpse, it's much better than stone.
At the moment, on the jade bed in the middle, there is a female corpse, covered with white cloth. In this cold space, there is a strange air of Yin.
The little eunuch who was following Xiang Gonggong was afraid. He swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "here There will be no ghosts. "
The little eunuch said that everyone looked at him.
The little Qizi was obviously afraid, but considering that he was the emperor's identity, he was not good enough to ask, so he hardened his head and said deliberately: "absurd! Here is only the body of Princess Qinyang. How can I become a fierce ghost when I am a princess in Qingyun dynasty? "
Although Xiao Qizi said this in his mouth, he secretly hid behind Liu Wei, and his hands rubbed his arms quietly. Although his movements were obscure, Liu Wei saw them.
Shaking his head, Liu Wei ignored the nonsense of these people, stepped forward directly, reached out, and opened the white cloth covering the body.
