I used to do Jixian Hall orthography, and when Qinghan often ran to his imperial study, I also saw a lot of folds here, including such a secret fold, but how to look at the secret fold, and where it came from, only the emperor knows best, so although I took a look at it just now, I didn't understand what was written on it at all.

However, it's one thing not to understand it, and it's another thing to see it.

I watched as the expression on his face became more and more solemn, as if there was a faint anger rising in my heart.

Could it be that the situation over there is not good?

I looked up at him and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it, the Bohai Sea is not very peaceful?"

“……”

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, but looked at me silently, and I don't know how long it took, he said, "Except for these things, you and me, do you have nothing to say?"

I choked on my breath and immediately closed my mouth.

I forgot my current identity, once Xichuan and the imperial court became friendly, the two sides temporarily reached an agreement on cooperation, and in this way, I turned into a "messenger" sent by Xichuan in the imperial court, whether it was for the balance of the two sides, or Pei Yuanhao's control, I shouldn't know too much about this side, and he couldn't let me know too much.

But what about that?

I don't really have anything to say to him.

Pei Yuanhao leaned over and looked at me again: "You and me, do you really have nothing to say?"

"If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it. The women of the people can answer what they can, and they can answer what they can. ”

He looked at me, "What if I want you?"

“……”

I slowly shut my mouth.

He smiled faintly, but he didn't get angry, he just said, "I knew it would be like this." ”

“……”

"But don't worry, I won't hurt you, don't believe me—" He lifted his wounded, thickly bandaged hand and shook it in front of me, "I've been injured like this, haven't I moved a single hair of your hair?"

I said softly, "Thank you, your majesty is merciful." ”

This sentence, probably he can collect a basket when he goes to the harem, for some reason, when he heard me say, his eyebrows were twisted, and there was an indescribable awkward feeling.

Then, the two men fell silent again.

It seems that I really responded to his words, I really have nothing to say to him, if he doesn't speak, I don't need to answer, facing him, I can keep my mouth shut all day.

I don't know how long he was silent like this, but he finally sighed lightly and reached out to take the secret fold.

"Do you know what it's written on?"

"The folk girl only vaguely saw the word Bohai. ”

"Well, yes, it's indeed a secret fold from the Bohai Sea. ”

My breath tightened immediately, and I looked up at him, "That's—"

"On the other side of the Bohai Bay, there have been several battles recently. ”

"What?!"

My eyes widened in shock, and I looked at him in amazement: "War?"

"Yes," he lowered his eyelids as he looked at the fold, "Many people know that the southeast coast will be plundered by some pirates, but they don't know that this side of Bohai Bay is the real dangerous place. ”

My heart jumped suddenly: "Because, it's too close to Jingshi?"

His eyes bent slightly, looking at me, and his voice was much softer than the cold and hard just now: "Not bad." Emperor Gao saw this and tried his best to win over the Ao family. At that time, it was still Ao Ping's grandfather who was in charge of Bohai Bay, he actively moved closer to the imperial court, showed loyalty, and also fought bravely in several later battles, relieved the crisis in Gyeonggi, and won the trust of Emperor Gao, so, in addition to dividing the Bohai Sea, he also gave them a large part of the power, boiling salt and coinage, these two alone, made them rich. Because they are near the sea, they do not need to present to the imperial court in advance when fighting abroad. ”

I couldn't help but gasp: "Isn't this a matter of the imperial court? I haven't heard that there are any vassal kings and local tycoons who can mint coins alone!"

"Not for them to mint coins alone, but to assist the imperial court in minting coins. On his side, there are several copper mountains. ”

I gritted my teeth.

To say that the era of Emperor Gao is too far away from me, I don't know what situation he faced after entering the customs, but I think it must be internal and external troubles, such a division has a great help to stabilize the situation at that time, but the problem left to the present is that the tail is too big, although the place is not completely stronger than the central government, but in this case, once Pei Yuanhao has any measures, I can see alive "ants bite the elephant".

It's no wonder that his new policies have been so difficult to implement over the years.

After thinking for a while, I said, "Then, how many battles did they fight, who did they fight?"

Pei Yuanhao sneered: "Naturally, it's 'Haikou'." ”

Cowards?

If there are really Haikou pirates, they should go to the southeast coast, Bohai Bay is full of reefs, the wind and waves are fast, and it is not easy to stop the boat, what is there to rob over there!?

Those pirates, I'm afraid they are not ordinary pirates, but-

The Iron Mask King!

When he was separated from me before, he expressed his anger at Losh's approach, and after crossing the sea and disappearing into the sea, he never appeared near Zhoushan again, and I could have imagined that he should want to land in Bohai Bay, and then go all the way north directly to the grassland.

But now, his way is blocked by Ao Ping!

I hurriedly asked, "Has Your Majesty ever issued an order to the Ao clan?"

Pei Yuanhao had a cold face and said coldly: "Of course I can't make this decree clearly, but I also have an edict to pass it on, so that they can put more of their minds on the new policy, and for the defense of the sea, I will send someone to take over, but I didn't expect——"

Unexpectedly, the emperor was far away.

Besides, the affairs of the sea, wave after wave, there will not even be a shadow left, probably, if there is no person who spreads the secret, even if there is a war over there, the court will not know.

I asked, "So, what about over there?"

"I didn't say much about it, I just said that the 'Haikou' couldn't land and retreated. ”

Withdrawn?!

In other words, the Iron Mask King can't go to the grassland for the time being?

I was so angry that my face turned pale, and I subconsciously pinched the edge of the table, and my finger bones rattled.

Damn it!

I couldn't help but grit my teeth and scolded angrily in my heart, no matter what impact the Iron Mask King would have on the grassland and even the entire Central Plains if he could land from Bohai Bay, I didn't mention it, but Huang Tianba, this was almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to escape from the grassland and leave Luosh, but-

I gritted my teeth and said fiercely, "Bastard thing!"

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me.

It seems that this is also the first time since I have known him for so long that he has heard me scold people in this tone, and he was still a little stunned for a while, and I didn't care about anything else, just looked at him: "Then Your Majesty, what can you do?"

He still looked at me, and after a while, he said, "Since the battle has been fought, this matter must be considered in the long run." ”

“……？”

I looked at him with a frown.

For some reason, I find him a little strange.

Although he has never been slack in the slightest about his own country and political affairs, just like now, his hand injury has become like this, he will still hide in the imperial study to watch the twists and turns, if you want to say that he is different, there are tens of millions of bad, but in terms of diligence, it is not ambiguous at all.

Still, I find it strange.

He is so diligent and has always controlled the situation very accurately, but in recent years, the situation in the Central Plains has not developed in a better direction.

Even, on the side of Bohai Bay, I don't believe that a battle will be fought in two or three days, this secret letter is just to say a result, but what about before? It is impossible not to report before, tell him that Ao Ping is fighting fiercely with the Iron Mask King, he should know that the victory or defeat of this war is related to the development of the situation in the Central Plains after that, but why, he did nothing?

But he just gave Ao Ping an edict and asked him to put more effort into the new deal.

This reminds me of Wei Ningyuan's evaluation of him before - putting the cart before the horse.

Is that really the case?

I was a little complicated, and looked up at him: "Majesty, majesty, right-"

Before I finished speaking, there was a clatter, cheerful footsteps outside the door, and I didn't need to look at it to know that it was a wonderful word, and she staggered into the imperial study: "Daddy, the medicine is ready!"

Pei Yuanhao and I both paused, and Pei Yuanhao looked at her with a smile: "So fast?"

"Well, the queen ordered it, and they brought it right away. ”

She was still followed by the buckle, and walked in with a tray as before, and put the bowl of steaming medicine on the table: "Please ask the emperor to use medicine." ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced at her angrily: "You go down first." ”

"Yes. ”

Kou'er agreed, took two steps back, but didn't turn around and go out, but whispered to Miao Yan: "Your Royal Highness Princess, aren't you going back to Jingren Palace with the slave?"

Miao Yan was originally going to come over and pick up the two of us affectionately, but when I heard this, I was a little reluctant.

I hurriedly said, "Why are you going back?"

Guan Er replied: "Miss Huiyan's words, it was the queen mother who found some things that Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked to play when she was a child, and Her Royal Highness the princess liked it very much, so the queen mother said, let Her Royal Highness the princess go over and have a look when she is free." ”

“……”

Pei Yuanhao smiled: "Yes, I also remember that many of the things that Nian Shen played with when he was a child were rare things they found from all over the world, and some of them were not even played when I was a child." Go and see what you like, take what you like, and I'll call you the shots. ”

When I heard the wonderful words, my eyes lit up: "Thank you, Dad!"

After saying that, he went out with the hand holding the buckle as he came.

When I looked up again, she had already run out with the buckle, and there was no shadow.

I left a bowl of steaming medicine in front of Pei Yuanhao and me.
