Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The next day, there were rumors in Chang'an City that someone had sneaked into the dungeon of Dali Temple to poison and murder a repeat offender, but Dali Temple not only did not stop it but kept silent.However, many policemen sent by the Chang'an County Government to patrol the streets and the Jinwu Guards' investigations when they entered and exited the city gate can be sure that what the rumors say may be true.

And in Hanwang Mansion, Li Ke met Du Gui, who was called the Living Hades.Li Ke looked at the man in front of him who was less than thirty years old, of medium build, with a pale face and a pair of slender fingers due to staying in prison all year round. He didn't speak, but looked at him in detail.The same Du Qiu was puzzled why His Royal Highness the King of Han would look for him. When he saw the young but heroic Li Ke in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, Du Qiu also did not lose his courtesy because of this. Seeing Li Ke watching him, he hurriedly saluted Li Ke, "I have seen Your Highness, my little official!"

"Du Prison?" Li Ke asked in a long voice.

"It's Du Yu, the little official!" Du Yu said respectfully.

"Please get up!" Li Ke stood up suddenly and helped Du Prison up, "Please sit down!"

"I don't dare!" Du Yu said, he was very troubled that Li Ke wanted to see him, and at the same time he didn't dare to accept Li Ke's courtesy to him.

"Du Prison, don't have any thoughts. I saw you today because I heard about your story last night. Otherwise, I would have interviewed you long ago." Li Ke said bluntly.

"I don't know why Your Highness is looking for the little official?" Du Qiu asked, why didn't he dare to believe Li Ke's words, and always answered Li Ke's words carefully and respectfully.

"Du Prison, sit down. I don't like to let others stand and talk." Li Ke saw that Du Prison was wary of him, so he didn't want to beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "The reason why I invited you to the mansion today is because I heard about you last night. People call you the Living Hades, saying that any prisoner who keeps his mouth shut will not open his mouth as long as he tortures him. But this king values ​​you, so I made an exception today to meet you in the mansion. This king I want to ask you something, this king wants to recruit you into the black guards, are you willing?"

Li Ke's words were no less than a bolt from the blue to Du Yu, he did not expect that he would be invited by Li Ke despite his notoriety.For him, not only outsiders spurned him, but even his family members didn't give him any good looks, saying that his methods of treating prisoners were too cruel, because of this reason he is still intact.It's just that he has always insisted on his own principles, thinking that since he has chosen to use torture as a jailer, he must do his best to do this.It's just that he didn't expect that Li Ke, the majestic King of Han would value him, and he would invite him to join his bodyguard when others spurned him.

Du Yu couldn't believe it, and he wasn't sure if what Li Ke said was true.Li Ke naturally understood what Du Yu was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't you believe me? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Du Gui didn't answer Li Ke, but said with a serious expression, "Hasn't Your Highness heard of the infamy of the petty official in Chang'an?"

Li Ke smiled. He knew why Du Yu misunderstood whether he had sincerely invited him. Knowing the reason, Li Ke naturally knew how to subdue Du Yu for his own use.He glanced at Du Yu, whose face was a little pale, and said in a deep voice, "Du Yu, what I appreciate is your talent, and I don't care about other people's evaluation and opinions of you. This king thinks that anyone standing on your side If you look at what you do from a standpoint, he will definitely not misunderstand you again."

When Li Ke said this, a hint of excitement appeared on Du Yu's face, but Li Ke didn't want such a result, so he continued, "However, the words just now are not what I want to say to you, my lord. What I want to tell you is that the main reason why the king admires you is your rigorous attitude towards what you do, just like what you said yourself, "I did this only out of the duty of the jailer. Only prisoners have no morals in front of the jailer. .' This king appreciates your attitude of being strict with yourself and setting an example."

"Your Highness!" Du Yu said in a choked tone, Li Ke's words really spoke to his heart, just like he thought that the reason why he did this was to do things for the principle of doing things, and to do his best to do what he did It's just a matter.But no one can understand him, some people just hate and hate him.He didn't expect that His Highness in front of him, His Highness King Han would understand him and understand his heart.

"Du Yu, I have finished what I should say, and now I want to ask you a question. I want to recruit you to the Black Guards, are you willing?" Li Ke asked again, his attitude was still modest, and he didn't use himself. He used his identity and rights to force Du Prison to join the Black Guards.

"Du Yu is willing to join the Black Clothes Guard to serve His Highness!" In addition to being moved by Li Ke's words, Du Yu was also infected by Li Ke's kind attitude.

"Okay!" Li Ke was delighted, and he helped Du Yu up, "This king will now order someone to report to Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, saying that you have been transferred to this king's mansion. You should clean it up first and come back later." According to the report from the government, this king will clean up the dust for you again."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Du Prison felt relieved, and joined the black-clothed guards again, no longer being pretentious, and replied with a bow, and then exited the Juyi Hall.

After Du Yu left, Li Ke went back to his room and wrote a letter for Yingwei to go to Dali Temple to hand over to Sun Fujia. The content of the letter was about the transfer of Du Yu to the Black Clothes Guard.After receiving the letter from Yingwei, he came to Dali Temple not long after. Sun Fujia happened to be in Dali Temple. After reading Li Ke's letter, he ordered the copywriter of Dali Temple to go through the relevant procedures for Du Yu. After ordering, he quickly handed over the duties in his hand, and arrived at Hanwang Mansion in the afternoon.

When Du Yu came to Hanwang Mansion, Li Ke ordered Yang En to hold a banquet, and he asked Du Yu to take over the dust.Du Prison wanted to decline, but after Li Ke's repeated requests, he agreed to clean up the dust for him.The banquet had already been set up, and everyone gathered in the side hall of the Juyi Hall. Du Yu saw that the people in the Han Palace, like Yang En, Chen Qi, Wang Zhongchang, and Zhu Tong, were all very kind to him, but it was useless because he was not good in Chang'an City. To be famous is to loathe or neglect yourself, and secretly swear in your heart that you must be Li Ke to do the work of a dog.During the dinner, Li Ke's attitude was kind, and everyone in the mansion was very kind to Du Yu. They had a very pleasant meal, and they also accepted Du Yu's heart.

After the banquet was over, Du Prison joined the Black Guards, and was appointed by Li Ke as a member of the Black Guards Intelligence Department, mainly responsible for the chief interrogation of key criminals.Du Prison was very satisfied with Li Ke's appointment, and soon devoted himself to his work.

Time passed quickly, and Li Ke, who never left the palace for half a step, was either riding a horse and practicing sword in the courtyard of the back school or watching and practicing calligraphy in the room every day.And he has spent five days in such an ordinary day without knowing it.On this day, he was looking at the room, and saw Chen Qi coming to the room in a hurry. Li Ke saw Chen Qi's appearance and asked, "Chen Qi, what happened, seeing how you are in a hurry?"

"Your Highness, the general just got the news that Wei Zheng and other people responsible for the poisoning case of the empress and the noble concubine have obtained a lot of evidence in the past few days, and they want to reopen the trial of the case." Chen Qi said after calming down .

"Are you sure?" Li Ke asked, "When will the class open?"

"The news that the Eagle Guards passed on to the mansion is definitely not fake." Chen Qidao, "It's just that Wei Zheng and others haven't confirmed that the trial will start on that day, and the Eagle Guards haven't been given a specific time."

"En!" Li Ke nodded and said, "This king is waiting for this day, and it is indeed time to close the net." Li Ke said here in a deep voice, his face showed a stern look, "You immediately tell Ying Wei Set a date for their trial."

"No!" Chen Qi answered with a bow, turned and left the room.

Li Ke looked at the back of Chen Qi leaving, and a smile appeared on his face. His smile was full of weirdness. If others saw this smile, they would definitely feel horrified.
