Chapter 309: Horse Tracks

On the surface, these news seem to have nothing to do with each other, and even have nothing to do with the "accidental" death of the Night Temple or the Great Prince, but now that you think about it, there will still be clues!

In the first year of Tianhe, the new emperor ascended the throne, the war in the north was not settled, King Yan invited himself to go to the border, only three months was recalled by the emperor, replaced by Xia Qingxuan, who had not been knighted at that time, and after staying in the capital for half a year, he was sent to Youzhou by an edict. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the third year of Tianhe, the eldest prince Mu Xuanting was named the crown prince and entered the East Palace, and the emperor allowed him to participate in political affairs. Mu Xuanting, who was young and ambitious, began to carry out drastic reform of the bureaucratic system, and intensified the investigation and punishment of corruption and the rectification of officials, until he was killed by more than ten raids, more than 20 people were exiled, and four people were sentenced to capital punishment such as car splitting and Ling Chi!

It's just that among the officials in the world, how many people can really be called honest and upright for the people? While the people were shouting for joy, the officials were panicking.

In the same year, the emperor and the queen mother were all ill, and King Yan had entered Beijing twice, both under the banner of worrying about the health of the emperor and the queen mother, and came to visit and serve the sick, but in fact, he had dealings with several ministers in the court, and also met secretly.

In the fifth year of Tianhe, King Yan sent his henchman You Chi south to Yongzhou for spice trading three times;

……

In the sixth year of Tianhe, the prince of Yan went south to search for treasures for the queen mother's birthday, and he went to Youzhou!

Just a month after the queen mother's birthday, the eldest prince went south to inspect for his father, and was assassinated on the way back to the city, which caused turmoil in the entire martial arts.

……

Looking at this thing that was full of three pages, although they did nothing with each other, Xia Xue'er still felt that these seemingly unrelated things were actually intimate with each other! But what's the context?

She put down the paper, closed her eyes and meditated, Cuizhu and Xianglan didn't dare to say much, just waited for her quietly.

Youzhou, Youzhou, Youzhou...... Night...... Night!

That's right!

Xia Xue'er suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Xianglan, and asked, "Is the former nest of the dark night in Youzhou?" She remembered that she had read the historical records of the rivers and lakes!

Xianglan was also a little confused by her sudden question, when she rummaged through the information last night, she only felt that King Yan always ran to Youzhou, and there was something wrong after all, but she never thought that the Night Temple seemed to be in Youzhou!

Now that I think about the young lady's sudden questioning, I suddenly woke up, and I was also shocked!

only nodded mechanically, seeing this, Xia Xue'er slapped the paper in her hand on the stone table, and she also stood up.

When you find the context in the clutter of information, the rest will be straightened out!

King Yan is a sibling of the current emperor, and in his early years, he was also one of the emperor's favorite princes, and he was also one of the princes who participated in the succession. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was imprisoned, or distributed, and even executed many siblings, only a few princes in his camp saved their lives, but they were not allowed to be reused, and they were not worried about the glory and wealth of their lives.

King Yan was already ambitious, and the emperor saw that he was pretending to surrender, so he sent him to garrison Youzhou, cut off his connection with the old department, and ordered him not to interfere in the affairs of the court.

But to this day, he still fantasizes about being able to ascend the throne one day, privately contacting the old ministry, winning over the three princes who were once favored, and even murdering his own eldest nephew with his own hands, which is really dampening!

"Do you want the disciples in the valley to stare at Yongzhou?"

Xianglan saw that Xia Xue'er seemed to have made up her mind in her heart, so she asked more, but Xia Xue'er shook her head.

The eyeliner of the Netherworld Valley is all over the world, even if she doesn't need to arrange it, if something big happens, it will be sent back to the valley in secret letters, and after the old hall master of the Dark Night Temple abdicated and lived in seclusion, the old nest of the Dark Night Hall moved away, and I still don't know where it is, what's the use of staring at Yongzhou!

On the other side of Youzhou, it seems that you have to increase your stalking!

"Find a few capable people and live in Youzhou City as wealthy merchants."

Youzhou's precautions are relatively strict, and King Yan is an old fox, and his subordinates are all trustworthy people. In the past few years, the Netherworld Valley has not succeeded in inserting its own people in the tent of the Yan King. The status of the common people and even the maids and attendants is too low, and they can't get in touch with King Yan himself, so it won't work to grasp his whereabouts in time!

I heard that King Yan was afraid of the inside, and he was obedient to the princess and did not dare to rebel, and Princess Yan loved to use spices, because of this, sixteen years ago, he would send his henchman You Chi south under the banner of looking for spices for the princess without being suspected!

Since he can find incense for thousands of miles, Xia Xueer will do what he likes and arrange for a few businessmen who are engaged in the spice business to live in Youzhou!

"Yes!" Xianglan nodded in response, and then retreated to do something.

Xia Xue'er wandered left and right for a while, and then asked seemingly casually, "Is the person sent by Sun Guifei still safe?" ”

"Miss Hui, according to your instructions, only send them to do some insignificant little things, and Miss will never hand over to them to do close things!"

"Very good," Xia Xue'er nodded, in the entire palace, she only trusted the four of Meilan Zhuju, and she was at ease with them by her side! Then he instructed: "You are delicate, pay attention to Biluo, but don't show any clues, what news will have to be passed on to her master through her in the future!" ”

Sun Guifei thought that she had planted an eyeliner here, but she didn't know that Xia Xue'er was planning to take this eyeliner for her own use and completely turn it into a microphone, what do you want Sun Guifei to know, but it is inconvenient for her to speak, she just needs to quietly reveal it to Biluo, and she doesn't want to worry about the rest, isn't it beautiful!

"The maid selected by the Hou Mansion will enter the mansion tomorrow, what arrangements does the young lady have?"

"There are too many maidservants in the East Fence Hall, and after all, I can't finish the call, so only pick a few to stay reliably, and send the rest to serve in other courtyards!"

After listening to the instructions, Cuizhu had a different opinion.

Although it is impossible for the four of them to betray Miss by the four maids who have grown up with Miss since childhood, after all, this time is different from the past, and the forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no ears on the wall, so it is not good to serve too many people in the yard after all!

So he said: "Forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, the young lady does not trust everyone in the palace, and it is better to serve the people sent by the mother's family after all." (To be continued.) )
