Zhao Shanqian heard the prince stop him, quickly retracted his feet, turned around, and said, "What else does Your Highness command?" ”

"You immediately send people to surround the Xia Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Liu Yan strongly instructed, "Before I enter the palace and finish the matter, he is not allowed to send someone to find me." Remember? ”

Zhao Shanqian didn't seem to understand, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he bowed down and responded: "Xiaguan will do it!" ”

After Liu Yan saw Zhao Shanqian leave, he paced back and forth in the study alone, weighing and thinking, and couldn't come up with a conclusion for a long time, he suddenly remembered Xun Mou, who had not seen him for a long time, and went to visit him at this time, and asked him for advice by the way, there should be a way, so he called the housekeeper to prepare the frame. After a while, Liu Yan had already put on a cloak, and when he left the hospital with the housekeeper, he found that the outside of the house was even colder, and when he looked up, the layers of dark clouds on the horizon seemed to be breathless, and the dark sky was dead. Liu Yan suddenly stopped and muttered, "It looks like it's going to snow again." ”

When Liu Yan's carriage came to the Weiguo Mansion, it was already the time to apply for a license, and when he got off the carriage again, a burst of dry cold soaked the bone marrow, Liu Yan shuddered, thinking that the heavy snow was estimated to fall in half an hour, and he had to go early and return early, otherwise it would not be a good thing to stay in the Weiguo Mansion for too long! After the housekeeper stepped forward to report, several subordinates from the Guogong Mansion hurriedly rushed up to greet him. Liu Yan didn't look at them directly, he walked up the stone steps and came to the gate of the mansion in three or two steps, Xun Yu and his son had already come to the gate of the mansion to greet them.

Xun Yu led Xun Mou and said: "On a cold day, let His Royal Highness come to the door in person, the cold house is really shining!" What's the matter, even if Your Highness just orders, how can you let your noble body make such a trip? ”

"Might as well!" Liu Yan raised his hand and gestured, "This palace may not have come to the Guogong Mansion for a long time, so I will come to see you today." ”

Xun Mou smiled: "It's cold! Let's go inside and talk! ”

In the middle hall of the Weiguo Mansion, the fragrance of tea is overflowing at this time, warm as spring, the incense burner in the center of the hall is full of mistant, and the bursts of warmth make people drowsy, and the coldness of Fang Cai has also been completely eliminated. Liu Yan sat on the main seat in the middle hall, slowly raised the tea cup next to the table, and sipped the tea elegantly, as if it had an endless aftertaste, and then praised: "Xun Guogong! It's still your tea! ”

Xun Yu sat down, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness likes it, under the New Year's Festival, when the old man is old, let someone send some to your house to show respect." ”

"Guogong doesn't have to be polite." Liu Yanzheng said, "Today, the palace is here to visit Guogong and General Xun, and secondly, there is one more thing to ask for advice from the two. ”

Xun Mou smiled, "Your Highness is for Xia Shangshu's business!" ”

Liu Yan didn't dare to be surprised, and bowed his hand to Xun Mou, "Exactly!" So he told Xun Yu's father and son what happened, and then asked, "I don't know what the two of you think?" How to save Xia Jingying? ”

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said: "This matter should not be difficult, with your prestige in the court, it should not be difficult to take this case to the emperor, and then maneuver around it, and then exonerate Xia Shangshu!" ”

Liu Yan nodded thoughtfully, and when he raised his eyes to look at Xun Mou again, he was drinking tea with a nonchalant expression, his expression was pleasant, and he felt completely out of the matter. Liu Yan was displeased, and after sneering, he said, "Does General Xun have any opinions?" ”

Xun Mou put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly and smiled, "Since Your Highness, you have already made up your mind to save Xia Jingying, then you don't have any advice to give!" ”

Liu Yan was stunned, "What does General Xun mean?" Can't you just sit idly by? ”

"I don't dare to say anything!" Xun Mouwei owed.

"You and I are heart-to-heart, how can you be so polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xun Mou clenched his fists and said, "Then I will only ask you a few questions, and His Highness will make his own decision." ”

Liu Yan's face sank like water, and he nodded seriously.

"Do you think that even if you save Xia Jingying, the emperor will trust him again?"

Liu Yan lowered his head thoughtfully, a cold light flashed in his eyes, raised his head to look at Xun Mou, and motioned for him to continue.

"Besides, if the Holy One knows the clues, what will he think of you?"

Liu Yan frowned, stared at Xun Mou with both eyes, and asked with a smile: "What does General Xun mean?" ”

"Huh...... Look down, don't lose the big because of the small! Xun Mou showed a sly smile, "If Your Highness, you really want to ascend to the throne, you can't do it without the means of thunder." ”

"What do you mean......" Liu Yan's eyes seemed to shoot a faint cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him?" ”

Xun Mou saw that Liu Yan already had this intention, so he said: "That's right! And take the case over, and you will hear it! ”

Liu Yan's eyes lit up, although this will lose a cadre, but he can get the emperor's trust even more, thinking about it left and right, instead of risking the risk of dishonesty to save Xia Jingying, it is better to tear up the horse and make good use of this case to show in front of the emperor, so as to show his selfless side, and in this way, there is an explanation on Fan Sui's side, and he can win him over, and it will definitely be beneficial to the great cause in the future. Thinking of this, Liu Yan's eyes shot out bursts of cold light, with murderous intent in his eyes, and then nodded coldly, muttering: "A summer camp, worth ......"

Xun Yu listened to his son's remarks and was quite unimpressed, "Acting like this, I'm afraid it will chill the people who follow Your Highness, right?" ”

Liu Yan glanced at Xun Yu, suddenly lowered his head again, and then his eyes flashed, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Xia Jingying is already provoking evil, and the matter of the household department is even more full of complaints. ”

Xun Yu was stunned, he really didn't expect Liu Yan to say this, originally the investigation of the treasury deficit case was the prince's idea, but now that the wings of King Ning and his party have been cut off a lot, the prince will come to cook rabbits and dead dogs, thinking of this, Xun Yu's back can't help but feel cold.

"That's right!" Xun Mou smiled bitterly, "It's just that I don't understand a little!" ”

Liu Yan said: "Where? ”

"How could there be such a quarrel between Fan Enyu and Xia Tong?" Xun Mou said strangely, "Xia Tong is the son of Xia Jingying, the head of the household, if you destroy them, what good will it do to him Fan Enyu?" ”

Liu Yan didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "There has already been a festival between them, Xia Tong's gambling pit harmed him online, where would Fan Enyu endure this evil breath, and then design Xia Tong in turn, this kind of thing has always been common, not to mention that people still have Xia Tong's incriminating evidence!" ”
