Chapter 12 Investigation

Since Hanxiao has found a problem, then she will seek the truth, and turning a blind eye is not a habit of Hanxiao, letting the problem go there, and pretending to be deaf and dumb is not the style of Hanxiao. Things related to Xiao Di must be clarified.

Hanxiao believes that only by figuring things out can you be clear and not be caught off guard.

Shui Chenhong is a companion who is responsible for information collection, and the situation of the ladies who participated in the flower viewing banquet of the Duke of Wei before was inquired by Shui Chenhong. When Hanxiao was not married, he came to Minjing with Chi Xuanqi and Shui Zhuyu to manage a teahouse called Qingfeng Pavilion and Xiaofeng Zhai Restaurant;

Shui Chenhong received the letter from Bihai, and immediately mobilized manpower to start an investigation.

Three days later, Shui Chenhong personally went to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei to meet Shui with a smile.

Shui smiled, his heart sank, and he entertained Shui Chenhong through the eight rosewood screens in the flower hall of the outer courtyard.

After the maid who was waiting left and right went down, Shui smiled and was silent, not knowing how to speak; Shui Chenhong took a cup of tea and drank it carefully, and was also thinking about how to speak; after all, what I want to say is about Hou Ye, or a romantic affair, Hou Ye is the master's pillow person, and he can't help but make sentences and treat it carefully.

Halfway, Shui Chenhong put down the teacup and took the initiative to speak: "The matter explained by the little master has been investigated. ”

Looking at Shui Chenhong outside the screen with a smile, he suddenly became a little nervous, and said, "What have you found?"

"Check according to the direction guided by the master, if Dingguo Gong Yeluqi and his uncle know each other, then they met during the battle of Southern Xinjiang, my uncle trained in the royal secret guard since he was a child, and immediately sent him to Jinshang as a guard after he came out, and he has been hidden in the shadows, helping Jinshang to do some secret things, and it is impossible to know Dingguo Gong, who was in full swing at that time.

It is worth noting that after the victory of Dingguo Gong in southern Xinjiang and his return to the dynasty, in the battle of the three kings to seize the heir, the uncle showed outstanding ability to lead the troops, so the second prince at that time would use the uncle, which led to the victory later.

It is rumored that during the war in southern Xinjiang, the second prince at that time once sent people around him to protect the father and daughter of Dingguo, which is very likely to be true, and the Hou Ye should be among them. ”

"Then Hou Ye can be regarded as half of Dingguo Gong's student, why is there no rumor outside! Dingguo Mansion and Hou Mansion are not so close. Is there anything going on in between?" asked with a smile.

"It is said that when Hou Ye was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he had a close relationship with the Dingguo Mansion. However, when the Northern Xinjiang incident occurred, most of the people in the imperial court recommended the prince of Dingguo to hang the seal of the commander, but the emperor ordered the commander of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army at that time to lead the troops, and after the victory of the Northern Xinjiang, Jin Feng Zhenbeihou. Since then, the Dingguo Mansion has been estranged from the Hou Ye, and there is almost no contact. ”

"Who recommended Master Hou at that time?"

"At that time, three of the five elders of the imperial court recommended the prince of Dingguo, one of the elders did not express his opinion, and only one of the elders recommended the prince. ”

"Which one?"

"Chen Ge old Chen Yun. ”

"Elder Chen Ge should be the current Shoufu!"

"Yes, Chen Ge Lao was reused by the emperor after the victory in Northern Xinjiang because of his meritorious recommendation, and he only lived below Yu Ge Lao, who was promoted to the first assistant after Yu Ge Lao. ”

"Chen Ge Lao is said to be a loyal royalist. He asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, after Chen Ge became the first assistant, he completely implemented the will of today. ”

"In other words, it is the emperor's opinion to let Hou Ye lead the army to the northern frontier. ”

Shui Chenhong nodded and said with certainty: "Yes, it is said that at that time, people thought that the emperor had begun to suppress the Yelu family. intends to raise the loyal guards around him to balance the Dingguo Mansion. ”

"What is the emperor's attitude towards the Dingguo Mansion over the years?"

"Still very well taken care of. Now there are several famous generals in the court. The battle of Hou Ye's northern frontier made a great reputation; General Lingyun in the northwest shocked the royal court of the grassland; in the southwest, there were district families to escort him; the generals of the waterways confronted the pirates; and the emperor's dependence on the Dingguo Mansion was not so serious. ”

"That's what you said now, the He family and the Ou family can still say, hasn't General Ling Yunling just become famous in the past two years? Hou Ye became famous when the emperor first ascended the throne, so what about before that? Before that, when only the Dingguo Mansion was able to lead the army? At that time, what was the emperor's attitude towards the Dingguo Mansion?"

"The daughters of the Ou family and the He family, and now the concubines and virtuous concubines among the four concubines were married into the prince's mansion as side concubines at that time. Shui Chenhong did not answer the smiling question directly, but told the facts and circumstances at that time;

"At that time, the crown princess should have been pregnant with the emperor's eldest son!" asked with a smile.

"Yes. ”

"I should be quite fond of the queen today!" Hanxiao thought about some things, as well as the queen's happiness recently, and asked very firmly.

"Yes. Shui Chenhong replied in the affirmative. Everybody knows that.

The emperor liked the queen very much, but when the queen was pregnant with her first child, she accepted the daughters of two important ministers as side concubines, and you can imagine the extent to which the fear of the Dingguo Mansion reached at that time.

At this time, Xiao Di was born out of thin air and made great achievements, which suddenly reduced the emperor's dependence on the Dingguo Mansion and solved the crisis of the Dingguo Mansion.

There is no Dingguo Mansion in the middle, the feelings of the emperor and queen are deepening day by day, and the birth of the emperor's eldest son is the icing on the cake, making the queen's position in the ** and Dingguo Mansion in the court more stable. The timing of Xiao Di's appearance was wonderful to the peak, at that time, the imperial court was in urgent need of employment, and the emperor was the most taboo about the Dingguo Mansion.

With Xiaoxiao's understanding of Xiao Di, he should not have such insight and scheming, even if he has such insight now, Xiao Di should not have it at that time. How could the emperor allow the guards around him to protect security to have such ability, wouldn't it be too dangerous.

Coupled with Xiao Di's inextricable connection with the Dingguo Mansion, and the scrutiny of the prince of the Dingguo Mansion at the flower viewing banquet, Hanxiao has reason to believe that Xiao Di's appearance was arranged by the Dingguo Mansion;

In the letter to Shui Chenhong with a smile, it was checked: What is the relationship between Xiao Di and the Duke of Dingguo? What is the relationship with the prince of Dingguo? What is the relationship with the queen Yelu Feiyan?

The relationship with Dingguo Gong has long been speculated, but now it is just a confirmation;

The relationship with the prince of Dingguo can also be imagined, the strangeness of not getting along with each other must be just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, the two should know each other and cooperate with each other, as for whether they trust each other, it is difficult to say. At least when Dingguo Gong is alive, the two will not fall out.

And what about the queen Yelu Feiyan?

Yelu Feiyan personally participated in the battle of Southern Xinjiang, so the relationship between Xiao Di and Yelu Feiyan was at least to the extent of understanding. After all, Yelu Feiyan can't really go to the battlefield, and he must have been taken care of by his father Yeluqi in the army, so for his father's student Xiao Di, Yelu Feiyan must know and even be very familiar with it;

Since the emperor was jealous of the Yelu family at that time, it could not be Xiao Di recommended by the Dingguo Mansion;

So who recommended Xiao Di to the emperor?

With a smile, she remembered the queen's dazzling elegance like a flame, and her smile as bright as the rising sun, and her heart sank slightly, and asked, "Can you find out who recommended the Hou Ye to the emperor at that time?"

Shui Chenhong replied without any hesitation: "It is said to be the emperor's personal eunuch Xu Gonggong." ”

"Whose person is Grandpa Xu?"

"It's the emperor's man. Shui Chenhong still didn't answer without any hesitation.

He couldn't help but laugh and asked a stupid question! If he wasn't loyal to the emperor, how could he possibly be in the position of a personal eunuch.

"Can the people who come and go on the fair day find out?"

Shui Chenhong thought for a while and said, "It's a bit difficult, our roots in Minjing are not deep after all." I can try, though. ”

Nodding with a smile, he asked Shui Chenhong to go back first, and he fell into deep thought.

It is said that after the plan of the Dingguo Mansion came out at that time, the queen could arrange someone to remind Gonggong Xu to achieve the goal. If you check it again, you can only get these information.

So if you want to know the relationship between Xiao Di and Yelu Feiyan, how to start?

That's right, habits.

The relationship between the two people can be seen from the living habits. If a person leaves a deep mark in the life of another person, then it will definitely be manifested in life.

……

A month later, Shui Chenhong sent over the information about Gonggong Xu and the empress.

The focus of the information of the two is different, about Xu Gonggong, mainly the investigation of the identity of the correspondents, the identity of those people is really complicated, including the four major powers Kung Fu, the Hou Mansion, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, all major forces. This is normal, after all, Father-in-law Xu is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is very necessary to have a good relationship with him.

Looking at the details of the queen's daily life, Hanxiao suddenly felt a cold heart.

Yelu, the queen of the Middle Palace, likes tea since she was a child, likes to invite people around her to drink tea, and also likes to teach people around her to taste tea;

Xiao Di came from a humble background, and was quite disdainful of the elegance of the literati and ink writers, and the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry were average, slightly rough, but he liked to taste wine, liked to drink tea, wine tasting was a hobby, and drinking tea was a habit.

When drinking tea, I like to choose a spacious and bright room, there is a qin lady playing a soft qin song on the side, generally "Qingxi", and then bathe and burn incense, the incense is used in the incense of the Lingnan incense workshop, and it is quiet and quiet orchid, the tea only drinks the southern rain before the Longjing, and the water only uses the Fengming Spring water in the southern Xinjiang;

Xiao Di himself never makes tea, they are all special maids to make tea, Xiao Di listens to the sound of the piano on the side, waits quietly, after the tea is good, first smell the fragrance and then look at the color, and finally taste, generally only drink three tea cups, one cup at a time;

Xiao Di's tea-drinking habits are very similar to the queen's tea-serving habits;

The queen likes to make tea in a bright room, the room should burn incense, there should be the sound of the piano around her, the Qingxi song is the best, and the mountain stream water song is also OK;

The queen has no special preference for tea, and tea is willing to taste tea from all over the world;

But Hanxiao knew that Dingguo Gong Yeluqi liked to drink Longjing before the rain, and he took it with him everywhere, and he could drink it at any time when he wanted to;

There are not many people who don't like the incense of this incense workshop, except for the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, very few people in Minjing use it, but in the southern frontier, their incense is very popular.

Fengming Spring is in the south of Wuyue Kingdom, the spring water is not very famous, but it has a small reputation in the local area, Hanxiao has never even heard of this kind of water before, or after marrying Xiao Di to see that he likes it so much, this is to understand it seriously;

All this is like a bead, as long as you touch that thread, everything is obvious;

There is only one truth, right in front of Hanxiao's eyes;

It's impossible to pretend you don't know!

It turns out that there is such a beautiful picture of the past in Xiao Di's heart, which has not faded for so many years, and is recalled by Xiao Di from time to time, and revisited every day!

Because of this picture, the tea that I didn't like turned into a delicacy;

Because of this picture, the sound of the piano that I don't understand becomes fairy music;

Because of this picture, spices from other places have become the love of my heart;

Because of this picture, the ordinary spring water becomes sweet and delicious;

With a smile, I was stunned in my heart!

-- The farthest distance in the world is that I am by your side, and your heart is thousands of miles away;
