After leaving Su Mansion, Yan Jinxuan immediately wrote an urgent secret letter to Feng Zichao, who was far away in the capital:

There are two things you need to do right away:

First, convey the recent learning of Korean by the county lord of Qingmei to the Korean palace maid through your relative's friend Situ Yulu, and ask her to inform the second prince Li Jing of this matter in time. After Li Jing learned about this, she asked her to take the opportunity to express to Li Jing that she was willing to help him exchange letters with the county lord of Qingmei, and at the same time let the palace maid say more good things about the county lord of Qingmei in front of the queen of Joseon.

Second, before I return to Beijing, help me find a person who is strategic, has martial arts, and has a clear background, and I will use it immediately after I go back.

After sealing the letter, he asked Li Zhitong to quickly take it and mail it.

He waited in a hotel with four other men.

It was already afternoon, and the early autumn sun was finally not so sultry, and Yan Jinxuan stood by the window, as if in contemplation.

After Honka made him tea, he and the other three rested on the kang beside him.

During this time, they followed Yan Jinxuan from city to city, wind and rain, wearing stars and moons, not only hard but also dangerous, and it was rare to have a little time to stay at this moment, so they all wanted to lose no time to take a break.

However, no matter how hard Yan Jinxuan worked on the road, he was always in good spirits and calm like a nobody, and even Gu Song, who was born in martial arts since he was a child, had to admire him for having a body that was not bad.

Yan Jinxuan was slowly drinking tea while making plans in his heart, his calm face was resolute, and his bright eyes were faintly bright.

"Second master, do you like Miss Su?" Honka woke up at some point and leaned close to his ear and asked.

Yan Jinxuan said quietly: "What do you say? ”

"I think so, but the county lord ......," Honka cautiously kept silent.

"I'll take care of it." Yan Jinxuan said lightly.

He doesn't care what others think, so his face is calm and natural.

Honka nodded. I didn't dare to ask more.

After Li Zhitong, who had to send the letter, returned, the six of them continued on their way.

The carriage rode along the ancient road of sheep intestines like lightning in the autumn wind, and soon disappeared on the other side of the mountain.

After the autumn, the floods in various places began to decrease, so Yan Jinxuan's current itinerary is not in a hurry as before. At present, he is just going everywhere to visit the rivers and mountains in various places, so as to enrich the content of the "Water Jing Beizhi" to the greatest extent.

When he walked in this vast world, he often hoped that she could also be by his side and appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers together.

"There will come a day when I will take you all over again." He looked at the village at sunset and said silently in his heart.

However, despite the fact that he seems to have been doing well recently, in fact, he is closely following the situation in the DPRK and China every day.

Two days ago, Feng Zichao sent him a letter: Yan Shichong was impeached by Zou Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because of his recent large-scale private activities. Zou Tong was killed by Yan Shichong's men that night. The emperor knew that the initiator was Yan Shichong. However, they did not pursue the matter on the grounds of 'no evidence', and the matter aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the DPRK and China.

The sixth prince wanted to take this opportunity to win over Yan Shichong, but Yan Shichong solemnly declared that he was only loyal to the emperor. Therefore, the sixth prince not only failed to succeed but was also told to the emperor by Yan Shichong, and the emperor immediately sent someone to arrest the sixth prince, but the sixth prince got the news in advance and absconded with an entourage overnight, and has not been exposed so far. And the concubines and children of the six princes have all been imprisoned.

Now because of the absconding of the sixth prince, the emperor and the entire court have fallen into a deep panic. Therefore, the emperor sent people to arrest him all over the country, and at the same time reused Yan Shichong again.

After reading the letter, Yan Jinxuan's brows were deeply locked and his face was heavy.

The seventh prince was given by the emperor to drink poison/wine at the beginning of this year because of the private manufacture of weapons, although the crime of the six princes is not so big, but because it endangers the throne, the emperor will not be spared. However, since he was able to abscond before the emperor made a move, it can be seen that an informant was installed in the palace, so it may not be easy to capture him.

And the emperor chose to reuse Yan Shichong again at this time, obviously wanting to consolidate his position again through Yan Shichong's power.

However, the emperor's move is tantamount to abandoning the light and turning to the dark, although he can keep his throne in a short time, but the disadvantages will become more and more obvious with the expansion of Yan Shichong's power.

If this development continues, the future of the Ming Kingdom will be ruined!

So Yan Jinxuan immediately asked Feng Zichao to help him find a person with scheming and martial arts, and he was ready to entrust him with an important task.

And on Shen Jiahui's side and Zhou Junpu's side, he did not forget to maintain close contact with them through the official post message.

Nowadays, there are not many people who can join forces with the DPRK and China. And Yan Yunpei was about to retire, so he didn't want his father to take any more risks, so he didn't reveal these things too much to his father.

The carriage galloped all the way. Yan Jinxuan's brain sitting in the carriage was also running rapidly, and suddenly he thought of a person-the third prince. Through the inquiry some time ago. He had a certain understanding of the third prince, and he felt that although this person had been his rival, he had the heart and courage to do great things, and was an ally worthy of joining forces, so he planned to contact him after returning to Beijing.

………….

said that the third prince Zhu Rui had been depressed for a long time since he was rejected by Su Shanyun.

However, during that time, he was not estranged from Su Zizhao because of this, and still came to Su Mansion from time to time as a guest, and often asked about Su Shanyun's recent situation, which made Su Zizhao and Feng very embarrassed, and felt sorry for them.

However, it has come to this point, and it is useless to say more, so everyone always subconsciously skips this matter when chatting.

One day, the Queen Mother and the Empress called the three princes to talk and told him that they had selected two ideal candidates for him, and asked him to choose one of them as his future princess.

Zhu Rui took a look - it was the youngest daughter of Fang Shiqin of Guanglu Temple and the niece of Fang Duan, a member of the Cabinet University.

The fold is not only attached to their birthdays, but also to their portraits.

Zhu Rui glanced at their portraits, didn't feel a felt, and looked at their birthdays again, one was one year older than himself, and the other was the same age as himself, his brows immediately furrowed - he didn't like to marry a woman who was older than him or too close to his age.

Therefore, he shook his head and said, "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, I can't hide it, these two are really not the type I like, so I beg to let them go." ”

"Then we'll continue to look for you." His queen mother said with a smile.

"Rui'er, we've found no less than ten people for you, right? You can't say it's suitable, so you can explain it well - what exactly are you looking for? The Queen Mother asked with a serious face.

Zhu Rui immediately showed an innocent smile at the Queen Mother, and said half-jokingly: "Actually, I can't say what kind of specific I am looking for, but I believe in the eyes and feelings, if these two things are agreeable, it will be done." ”

The Queen Mother and the Queen looked at each other and immediately lowered their faces.

"You're adding to the problem for us, aren't you? Eyes, feelings, how to grasp this thing? The Queen Mother feigned anger and said.

"So please don't worry, it's really not okay to get married again next year." Zhu Rui said with a grin.

"No, I must help you implement it this year, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the emperor, and you also know that the emperor is exhausted for the court, so can you bear to ask him to worry about this matter?" The queen said in a resolute tone.

Zhu Rui smiled and said, "I know, I know, then you have to bother." Then he hurriedly said goodbye.

Back at his mansion, Zhu Rui went straight to the study and closed the door with a bang.

"Can't you really marry a good-looking and interesting woman as a concubine?" He held his forehead.

He remembered what Su Shanyun said when he rejected him, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked people to invite Zhou Junpu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, to come. (To be continued)
