Yu Ruyan was startled, her brain was blank for a while, and she didn't know what to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lord Xiao, what are you talking about?" Yu Ruyan confirmed again.

But Xiao Feiqing's answer is still the same: "Maybe the emperor doesn't want the six princes to return to China at all." ”

Looking at Yu Ruyan's even more stunned expression, Xiao Feiqing said: "Actually, I also have a feeling, I always feel that the emperor doesn't seem to be so enthusiastic about the return of the six princes to China. In other words, he also made it for the officials. ”

Yu Ruyan seemed to understand the implicit meaning of Xiao Feiqing's words, and asked, "Lord Xiao, do you mean that the emperor let the six princes live in the post house because he didn't want them to come back at all?" Could it be that because the emperor's suspicion of the princes has deepened since the seizure of the throne last year, he also ...... the younger royal brother?"

Speaking of this, Yu Ruyan suddenly couldn't speak. The situation of the princes is clear, the third prince and the Zhu family have rebelled and have been placed under house arrest in the palace, the eldest prince and the second prince have been arranged to be idle, and the fifth prince has also been imprisoned in the palace, and now the sixth prince is ......

Could it be that the emperor is really suspicious of his brothers?

"Ruyan......" Xiao Feiqing called softly, "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”

Yu Ruyan shook her head and said, "No, Lord Xiao, how the emperor treats several princes, naturally he has his reasons." As courtiers, we should not ask the emperor more about household affairs. ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "Yes, the sixth prince is young, maybe I think too much." I'll send you back. ”

"It's okay, I'll go back with Yunluo." Yu Ruyan said lightly.

Xiao Feiqing glanced at Tang Yunluo in the distance, her heart was sour, but she still forced a smile and said, "It's okay, be careful on the road." ”

Tang Yunluo accompanied Yu Ruyan to walk slowly, and she didn't say anything along the way. Looking at Yu Ruyan, who was frowning deeply, Tang Yunluo knew that there must be something to worry about again.

"Are you going to Jade Mansion or to Yunfu?" When he arrived at the door, Tang Yunluo asked with a smile.

Only then did Yu Ruyan come to her senses, and when she looked up, she had already arrived at the front of the house. Yu Ruyan smiled: "I'll go back first, you've worked hard all the way, rest early." ”

"Alas......" Tang Yunluo sighed, "I prepared good wine and food tonight, but unfortunately I have to live up to it." ”

Yu Ruyan smiled: "Well, since the beautiful scenery of the good day, why should I live up to it?" ”

The two smiled heartily and walked into the door of the "Cloud Mansion" together.

Tang Yunluo was quite attentive, only prepared a few home-cooked side dishes, scalded a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "The scholar has worked hard all the way, I will toast you first." ”

Yu Ruyan was amused by him and said, "Where, Tang Gongzi is the real hard worker, it should be me who respects you first." ”

The two talked and laughed, and after a while, Yu Ruyan was already slightly drunk.

"Tang Yunluo, what do you say is the emperor?" Yu Ruyan asked with the strength of the wine.

Tang Yunluo smiled and said, "I'm a person in the rivers and lakes, how can I know?" ”

"It's okay, let's hear about it." Yu Ruyan asked with a smile.

Tang Yunluo was silent for a while, and said lightly: "The emperor is a lonely man. ”

Alone, the emperor has always called himself this way since ancient times, Tang Yunluo's seemingly ordinary words hit the nail on the head. The people in the rivers and lakes who are light and breezy often see more clearly than the people in the court.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Tang Yunluo was right, the emperor was alone. It is precisely because of this that there will be an inviolable majesty on the throne and imperial power. The prince is the biggest contender for imperial power, and Zhao Wenzheng experienced a coup d'état at a young age, so he was in a high place, trembling, and would be suspicious of every prince.

Even if it's the young Sixth Prince.

"Is this the Emperor?" Yu Ruyan muttered.

Perhaps, this is the emperor.

Tang Yunluo thoughtfully sent Yu Ruyan back to the room, and then withdrew.

Lying on the bed, Yu Ruyan looked at the gauze tent beside the bed and sighed deeply.

The state of Chu sent envoys to Chen to negotiate about the escape of the protons, and on the same day, the state of Liang and the state of Song also sent envoys to present their credentials. The envoys of the State of Chu understood in their hearts that this was Zhao Wenzheng giving the State of Chu a prestige. So coincidentally, the envoys of the four countries gathered in the Chen country? Obviously, the four countries had already said in advance that if the Chu State wanted to fight with the Chen State because of the proton matter, the other four countries would not sit idly by.

In this case, the state of Chu could only promise to return the proton. Moreover, the emperor of Chu also knew that the proton was robbed and Yu Ruyan submitted the credentials, so he sent an envoy this time just to save face, and did not expect Chen Guo to return the proton.

This time, even if Chen Guo wins, Chu Guo knows that there will be a bigger competition in the future, so he doesn't want to have a casual conflict with Chen Guo because of a pair of mother and son.

Moreover, the cicada has been lurking in Chen Guo for decades, and it will have a greater role in Chen Guo in the future. Therefore, the emperor of Chu should be a dumb loss, and he will see the real chapter in the future.

The proton turmoil subsided, but Zhao Wenzheng did not welcome the proton mother and son back to the palace. Instead, Concubine Xu Xian moved to Yongcheng Palace, and arranged for the six princes to be fostered in Prince Zhong's mansion.

This approach was opposed by many ministers of the DPRK and China, and Zhao Wenzheng said: "The mother and son of the proton almost provoked the dispute between Chen and Chu, and I must always make some appearances on the surface and let the world see it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only when the mother and son return to the palace can they be subdued by the world."

The minister seconded. In this way, we can show the benevolence of our emperor. ”

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to discuss it anymore."

The courtiers could only discuss in private, and the emperor was unkind and mean. However, the turmoil of this incident has not yet passed, and an even bigger storm will strike in the future.

Li Shi returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time because of the Cold Food Festival, but when he came back, he brought a book of blood from all the people, which shocked the government and the opposition!

A year later, the relief and rebuilt silver taels issued by the imperial court to Beiguang Prefecture were embezzled by some ministers of the imperial court and local officials of Beiguang Prefecture. The food received by the victims was bran, and the newly built houses were made of sand and straw. Within a few days of some of the victims' houses, their houses collapsed, and many of them were injured.

Li Shi wrote down the grievances of the victims in the disaster area, and the victims all put bloody handprints on them. In this way, a letter of blood from all the people was handed to Zhao Wenzheng's desk.

Zhao Wenzheng was furious and ordered a strict investigation.

"When the right minister and university scholars went to the disaster relief a few years ago, the atmosphere in the disaster area was clear and there was no corruption." Zhao Wenzheng was furious at the court, "Why is it that only a few months later, I actually let the blood letter of the disaster victim be handed to my desk!" The local officials are greedy, and the people of the court are also greedy, and they are all greedy under my nose! If it weren't for this blood letter, I would still think that you are all loyal ministers and good generals, and you are all ministers of the humerus! ”

"The sins of the subordinates deserve death."

Zhao Wenzheng said angrily: "Enough, as soon as I get angry, you will come to such a sentence, are you a fool?" ”

"The ministers don't dare,"

Zhao Wenzheng said: "Prince Zhong, I now order you to work with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to try the case of corruption of disaster relief grain funds, there must be no mistakes!" The officials involved in the case, no matter who they are, will be dealt with strictly! ”

Zhao Xuanfang said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After going down, Xiao Feiqing grabbed Yu Ruyan, and Yu Ruyan knew that he must have something to say, so she followed him to the corner.

"Scholar, what do you think of this corruption?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Yu Ruyan paused and asked, "Do you want to ask about corruption or the emperor's handling of this matter?" ”

Xiao Feiqing smiled lightly and said, "The scholar is really smart. This time, the emperor sent people from the clan, the criminal department, and the Dali Temple to investigate the corruption, is it because I don't trust you anymore? ”

Yu Ruyan smiled and said, "Lord Xiao is too worried, the emperor ......"

originally wanted to persuade Xiao Feiqing, but Yu Ruyan didn't know what to say.

"University scholar, the matter of the six princes, plus the previous incident of rebellion against the party." Xiao Feiqing sighed, "Our emperor is really a thunderous means!" ”

Yu Ruyan sighed: "Lord Xiao, the companion is like a tiger, you should understand this." However, if it weren't for Uncle Li's return to his hometown, maybe we would never have known that the disaster area was like this. It is normal for corrupt officials and corrupt officials to brutalize the people, and it is normal for the emperor to rule by heavy rules. ”

Xiao Feiqing shook his head with a smile and said, "Scholar, our emperor, has the style of the first emperor back then. ”

Yu Ruyan laughed dryly, Zhao Wenzheng's actions were indeed somewhat similar to Qin Shi Huang. Xiao Feiqing suddenly changed his words and said, "Scholar, do you have any new discoveries about the cicada?" ”

Hearing Xiao Feiqing mention this, Yu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and then said: "This time I was assassinated in Weiguo, and Proton was attacked when he returned to China, someone in Chen Guo must have leaked the news." ”

"Everyone has thought of this, could it be that Lord Xiao has discovered something?" Yu Ruyan asked.

Xiao Feiqing looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "After General Yang set off, I saw Yu Ya from Yang Mansion mysteriously coming back from outside. ”

"Yuya?" Yu Ruyan asked in astonishment, "Muchen Muyu's nurse?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Feiqing said, "That day, I saw Yu Ya mysteriously returning to the Yang Mansion, so I asked my subordinates to investigate. It is said that she came from the north of the city, and I asked my subordinates to go to the north of the city to investigate, and there is a private house there that is very mysterious, and no one knows who lives in it. ”

Xiao Feiqing's words made Yu Ruyan really surprised, and after thinking about it, Lord Yang went to Chu State to rescue the proton, although he was not injured because of Li Shi's clever plan. However, Yang Jun's team was ambushed halfway and fought at Tongguan, which is enough to prove that they knew the route of Proton's return to China, that is, it must have been the route set by Lord Yang that leaked to the State of Chu.

And there is no one else who knows about this except the emperor, Xiao Feiqing, and Yang Chuting. From this point of view, Yu Ya's mysterious outing and this matter are indeed somewhat inexplicably linked. Could it be that Lord Yang really has someone from the Chu State or the Cicada by his side?

"How could it be Yuya?" Yu Ruyan muttered to herself.
