"Go and check the identities of Zhang Chun and Zhang Qiu for me, and don't miss any records about them." Yan Hao said to Xiao Yun, the head of the household.

Xiao Yun immediately took the order and left.

However, there is indeed information about Zhang Chun and Zhang Qiu in the archives, but it is written that they have no father or mother since they were children, they grew up with their neighbors, and when they grew up, they dealt with people on the rivers and lakes, and traveled all over the world, so they had no fixed place to live before opening a small teahouse.

This explains their peculiar experiences and their breadth of knowledge, as well as their extraordinary brotherhood.

Yan Hao looked at this information for a long time, and his heart settled down a little.

But he is a cautious man, and once he has doubts about something, he must find out the truth and stop without any doubt. He felt that Zhang Chun and Zhang Qiu were still a little suspicious, so he decided to let Yan Che come to help secretly investigate.

Yan Che was a little disapprehensive after hearing Yan Hao's words: "Father, as the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, since you appreciate their talents and have checked their information, Erchen feels that there is no need to investigate again." ”

Yan Hao was furious: "You really lack experience in the rivers and lakes, if you go down like this, I'm afraid that you will be sold and help people at that time, if you don't want to check, then I will find someone else to check." With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

Where did Yan Che dare to offend his father, not to mention that his future succession was still in his hands, so he hurriedly grabbed Yan Hao's hand and said with a respectful face: "Father, don't be impatient, Erchen was just talking just now, Erchen will definitely help you find out." ”

Yan Hao's expression eased. "Don't let them see what you mean," he instructed. ”

"My son knows." Yan Che said confidently.

The next day, Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou entered the palace as promised, and waited for Yan Hao to go down to the court at Yan Hao's private reception, Yuanqing Palace.

Not far from the Yuanqing Palace. Yan Che sat in the pavilion on the side of the road and drank tea slowly, but his eyes were aimed at the Yuanqing Palace from time to time.

Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou waited for about a quarter of an hour, and then they saw Yan Hao striding in in a yellow robe.

They hurriedly got up and saluted him.

"Coming?" Yan Hao greeted them before he could sit down.

They hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

"I've already dismissed the previous Imperial Advisors, and they can't compare with you." Yan Hao said again.

The two laughed but didn't say anything.

"Since you have traveled from south to north, tell me where you have been, what you have done, and who you have met?" Yan Hao said with a smile on his face.

The reason why he uncharacteristically invited two young people to be the former military advisor was that he had never cooperated before but had only heard of it, and he had his own little abacus.

Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou had long expected him to ask this question. After all, it is not so easy to be the imperial military advisor of the monarch, not only requires that you know more about the country's land and people than the monarch, but also have the ability to resolve the crisis and create opportunities. So the two of them not only practiced their eyes hard last night, but also read a lot of books about the customs and customs of the tribute country, plus what Feng Zhixuan told them before and what they learned from all kinds of customers when they opened a small teahouse, they were already considered tribute to the country, so the two took turns to talk to Yan Hao.

Yan Hao listened and observed their expressions. I found that the eyes in their eyes when they looked at each other were also emotional. But it's the same-sex kind, cordial but not attached, with a touch of carelessness.

It was completely different from the eyes Yan Hao saw yesterday.

Yesterday, they looked at each other with such tenderness and attachment. Yan Hao suddenly felt a little headache.

Did I see it wrong yesterday? Their eyes yesterday are completely different from today's, but I ask myself that there are countless people who read and few people who are wrong, how can they be wrong this time? Yan Hao couldn't help frowning slightly.

But when they talk about the affairs of the tribute country, they talk about it and talk endlessly, and they don't seem to be people who don't know much about the tribute country at all! How can this be explained?

So, is he really wrong? But Yan Hao was still unwilling.

But since I can't catch them. Then you might as well believe them first, anyway, Yan Che is secretly helping him investigate.

Although Yan Che was a little rebellious when he spoke. But when he really promised to do something, he would do everything possible to do it well, so Yan Hao would be very relieved when he handed him over.

"I heard that the second prince of Xi Kingdom and Guang'an Hou Shen Xizhen have disappeared mysteriously, and I want to take this opportunity to join forces with Zhang Siguo to restrain Xi Kingdom, what do you two do about this?"

Yan Hao heard that the new emperor of Xi was far less courageous than Emperor Guangzhao. However, he was slightly lacking in his mind, so he felt that this was the best opportunity, as long as he could contain the Xi Kingdom, it would be time for the Gong Kingdom to enter the Xi Kingdom in a few years.

Thinking of this, Yan Hao couldn't help but jump with joy.

Yan Hao observed their expressions while asking them, and saw that when they heard the names of King Qingping and Shen Xizhen, there was not the slightest fluctuation on their faces, as if the two people in his mouth had nothing to do with him. Yan Hao felt a little relieved.

"Weichen also agrees that the emperor and Zhang Siguo will join forces to restrain Xi Guo." Shen Xizhen said.

Yan Hao blinked, looked at Shen Xizhen and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"There is only a bloody and cruel conflict of interests between countries, and the emperor does not need to be swayed by other circumstances, although he can find a way to deal with them." Shen Xizhen replied.

"And what do you have in mind?"

"Caomin heard that the new emperor of Xi Kingdom is very timid, so we can just use his weakness to scare him......" Shen Xizhen took out a paper and pen, and explained her plan to Yan Hao while drawing a picture, Chu Zihou also helped to supplement it on the side, and Yan Hao nodded again and again.

After that, Yan Hao was still a little undecided, and he muttered, "Then don't you have to send someone to infiltrate the Xi Kingdom?" ”

"Yes." The two nodded at him.

"I thought about it, and I always thought it was too dangerous."

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place, this trick is indeed worth trying, if we don't take this step, what if the country does it in advance?" Chu Zihou said to Yan Hao.

"Moreover, the iron should be struck while it is hot, what if the king of Qingping and Guang'an Hou of the Xi Kingdom will return soon? By then, it will be too late for us to do so. Shen Xizhen also echoed.

Yan Hao looked at Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou, and read the message of 'really good for you' from the eyes of the two, and he finally nodded.

Then he said, "I'd better think again." (To be continued......)
