Night.

Inside the Dongying Mission, the three Dongying people opened the back door, and then quickly left the inn and disappeared into the night, and not long after they left, they faintly saw several shadows in the night, appearing behind them, following them, the same hidden in the night.

After about ten minutes, two more Dongying people came out of the back door of the mission, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, they set off outside again.

After this group of Dongying people left, a few more people followed, but it was not over, and after about ten minutes, another Dongying person walked out of the back door of the inn and disappeared into the night.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, a total of three groups of Dongying people have left from the back door of the inn, I have sent people to keep an eye on them, and they have not found our people!"

Yu Zhiqian listened to Yang Xu's report, nodded, and continued to review the papers: "Don't be careless, continue to stare at it, this group of Dongying people are very cunning, they are very obedient on the surface, but in their bones, hum!" ”

"Whoa!"

"By the way, has that Gao Shan Sui found out?"

"I have found out His Royal Highness the Prince, this person is the envoy of the Dongying Kingdom, and he has sent six envoys to my court, the first of which is ......"

"Then does he have a good relationship with anyone in the court?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Fan Jian, the head of the household department, has a certain personal relationship with this person, and there are also people in the Ministry of Works, when he was in college, there are acquaintances in some places such as the Hanlin Academy, and after these Dongying Kingdom missions come to our court, they will often visit some ministers of my court and give generous gifts, so ......"

"That's it, why didn't I see them send me a copy, go and call Fan Jian, I have something to explain to him!"

"Whoa!"

Soon Fan Jian hurriedly came to Yu Zhiqian's study, stood aside, looked at the prince who was concentrating on the papers, didn't know what was going on, and didn't dare to ask, so he could only stand aside and continue to wait.

The longer he waited, the more anxious Fan Jian became, could it be that he had provoked his son Versace? Or is his eldest son Fan Xian in trouble? Sometimes people are left aside, if you don't ask him, he will automatically make up a lot of things in his head, just like the current Fan Jian was hung by Yu Zhiqian for half an hour, thinking about everything he has done since he came out, and he is afraid that something will go wrong.

"Fan Shilang?"

When Yu Zhiqian looked up and saw Fan Jian, he was startled, but he quickly came to his senses, as if Fan Jian came in a long time ago, and he allowed it, but he didn't care about continuing to review it when he saw a good exam paper, and forgot about it, and only now when he was about to take a sip of tea, he saw Fan Jian and was frightened.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Old minister......"

Fan Jian knelt down directly.

"What's wrong? Why are you kneeling down, and why didn't you speak after you entered the door, and there was no sound yet! ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Fan Jian breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was thinking too much about himself, and adding drama to himself, Yu Zhiqian squinted his eyes and looked at Fan Jian, this guy must have something, but there is a saying, when the water is clear, there is no fish.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has been standing for a long time, and his legs are a little uncomfortable!"

Fan Jian said awkwardly, and Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Come on, give me a seat!" ”

After Fan Jian sat down, he was relieved, it seemed that he was not looking for trouble with himself, although Yu Zhiqian did things Fan Jian couldn't understand, but in Fan Jian's eyes, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more difficult to deal with than the emperor, and the emperor had at least traces to follow, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had unrestrained thinking......

"Is Gao Shan looking for you today?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Gao Shan has never looked for an old minister today!"

"Do you know what happened today?"

"The old minister heard one or two!"

In fact, Gao Shan Sui found Fan Jian today, but Fan Jian is a kind of person, knowing that the Dongying Mission offended His Royal Highness the Prince, he immediately closed the door to thank the guests, and when Gao Shan Sui came to look for it, he said that he was sick and did not see him.

"The next time Gao Shan Sui goes to look for you, you will go to see you, you see people across the ocean to see you, and they have prepared generous gifts for you, they are all old friends, don't ruin the friendship because of the things in the court!"

"Old minister, old minister......"

Yu Zhiqian waved his hand: "I know that you are afraid of being implicated, and this palace is not the kind of person who does not talk about human feelings, and it is normal for ordinary friends to communicate, but remember, Tsinghua Park Huangpu Military Academy and so on are all secrets of this dynasty, and they cannot be divulged, do you know?" ”

"The old minister understands, but Your Highness, the old minister and that high mountain year are only a few faces, and they are not old friends......

"If you let you see you, you will see you, don't be in such a hurry to clear up the relationship!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and then he slowly spoke: "Do you know that Iga Yun? ”

"The old minister has never seen it, but with the old minister's understanding of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, that Iga Yun should be the eldest son of the current prime minister of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, Iga Mountain, although His Royal Highness has collided with the Red Flag Messenger, but if this person is beheaded, ......"

"Well, this palace knows, but Tang Law can't be violated! As the prince of the East Palace, how could Bengong take the lead in violating Tang Law? Hongu is also ......"

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Fan Jian almost jumped up and pointed at Yu Zhiqian's nose and scolded, wanting to point out the things that Yu Zhiqian had done one by one, and see what Tang Lu had been ruined by His Royal Highness the Prince, who was now righteous and awe-inspiring and said that Tang Law was inviolable.

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready?"

"Hey, after all, the Dongying Kingdom is a vassal country of our dynasty, and it has been respectful to our dynasty for a hundred years, and this palace doesn't want to see such a thing happening, but if you don't punish this Iga Yun severely, then after my people know about it, how should you and I explain? I will still be held accountable for blocking the Red Flag Messenger to the people, let alone these aliens! ”

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that it is the old minister who is favoritism, but His Royal Highness the Prince, Dongying Kingdom ......"

"Okay, it's not that this palace is unkind, Igayun's matter must be severely punished, according to Tang law, since this person deserves to be beheaded for his crime, but as an envoy of the vassal country, you can open the net, according to my Tang law, you can replace it with a golden person!"

"Golden man? Your Highness, there doesn't seem to be a ...... in Tang Lu."

Fan Jian was stunned for a moment? What the hell does the golden man replace? And when did Tang Lu have such a rule? Although Fan Jian is a household servant, he is also familiar with Tang Law, and he has never heard of such a clause in Tang Law.

"Now there's it!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, and then vigorously covered a jade seal: "Those who are beheaded can be punished by waiting for heavy money!" ”

“……”

Fan Jian understood, and finally understood, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not looking for trouble for himself at all, but wanted to pass a message to the Dongying Mission through his mouth.

Want to save someone? Yes, but it is enough to find a gold man of equal weight, Fan Jian thought for a while, that Yi Heyun himself had not seen it, but according to the similar height and physical appearance of the Dongying people, at least more than 100 catties in weight, thousands of taels of gold for a human life, even if it is a noble family, it may not be able to handle it.

"Okay, it's good for you and me, remember, it's okay to see old friends, enhance and enhance feelings, what gifts do you receive and send them to this palace to see, this palace also wants to see if this Dongying country is rich!"

"The old minister obeys!"

After watching Fan Jian leave, Yu Zhiqian leaned on the chair, thinking in his heart, that Yi Heyun's height didn't seem to be very tall, and it didn't look heavy, just a hundred catties, and he would pit a hundred catties of gold, which seemed to be a little too petty.

"Someone's coming!"

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Zhan slowly appeared beside Yu Zhiqian, this product was still the same as before, not in a hurry or slow, and slowly gave Yu Zhiqian a salute.

"Inform Dali Temple, Yiheyun's meals should be specially customized, more oil, more sugar, prepare more fatty pork, and let the jailer watch him, eat five meals a day, morning, noon and evening, and two suppers at night, don't let him sleep if he doesn't finish eating, don't let him exercise, try to tie him to the bed, three months, I want him to gain more than 100 pounds!"

When Zhang Zhan heard Yu Zhiqian's words, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why is this?" ”

"It's nothing, this guy is now a pound of meat is equal to a pound of gold, what about Jin Gui, take care of it, tell Liu Bei, if the raising is not up to standard, the lack of money will be let out of the palace!"

"Whoa!"

After Fan Jian walked out of the royal palace, he glanced back at the brightly lit royal palace, the prince seems to be sick again, the ministers of the court and the central government are now shrewd, and they have been pitted by the prince a lot, and no one wants to be cheated by the prince, so Yu Zhiqian has fewer and fewer ways to make quick money now.

The decoration of the East Palace has entered the final stage, the main building is a three-story building, according to Yu Zhiqian's plan, it was originally an ordinary three-story building, but it has changed a lot when it is repaired, and the same cost has also gone up.

Although the treasury made up some money, but later the emperor did not dare to let Yu Zhiqian spend money so indiscriminately, and the money behind was subsidized by Yu Zhiqian himself, but this hole is getting bigger and bigger, and Yu Zhiqian began to make up for it, but the good news is that Hu Shang has entered Chang'an, and Yu Zhiqian's glass has also begun to make profits.

However, Yu Zhiqian has more and more places to spend money, supervising the crown prince, repairing the East Palace, and opening two schools, etc., these things are all money, and Yu Zhiqian has no money in his hands.

And Yu Zhiqian still has to invent and create, the steam engine that he has recently jointly researched with Lao Qi has achieved some results, in addition, steelmaking and other things are big money burners, Yu Zhiqian doesn't make some money? How to promote the progress of the world!

On the second day, the Japanese Mission.

Gao Shan Sui took two students to drive a carriage and rushed towards Fan Jian's mansion, because the emperor was on his southern tour, many ministers in Chang'an City went with the emperor on his southern tour, Fan Jian was among the officials Gao Shan Sui knew, and now he was the one with the highest position, and he wanted to save Yi He Yun, except for Fan Jian, Gao Shan Sui couldn't think of anyone else who could have this ability, and I heard that Fan Jian and the prince had a bad relationship.

"As soon as I was informed, I said that Dongying Kingdom was sending Gao Shan Sui to meet Fan Jian's servant!"

With the worship post, Gao Shan Sui respectfully handed over his worship post, with a smile on his face, and a small bag of silver under the worship post.

After the porter received the silver, he quietly returned to the mansion, and Fan Jian had already explained when he came back last night, if someone from Dongying Kingdom came to visit him, he would be notified.

Soon, Fan Jian met Gao Shan Sui in the side hall.

"Fan Shilang hasn't seen him for a year, and his demeanor is still ......"

The meeting was a set of greetings, and then Takayama took out the gifts he had prepared.

Because of the perennial envoy to Chang'an, Gao Shansui knows very well what the officials in Chang'an like, such as this Fan Jian, who likes some tiger and wolf things, so the gift prepared by Gao Shansui this time is to find a century-old ginseng from Goguryeo, and some nourishing things.

Fan Jian looked at these gifts, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was still happy, these Dongying people are really going to do something, after all, people are middle-aged, sometimes they can't do it, and the gifts given by these Dongying people have won Fan Jian's heart.

"It's hard work!"

After receiving the gift, he couldn't keep a straight face, after Gao Shansui saw Fan Jian's expression, his heart was settled, and he began to continue to talk about some topics, and then suddenly cried: "Fan Shilang save me!" ”

Fan Jian raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "It's here!" ”

"Brother Gao Shan, I don't know why this is so?"

Gao Shan Sui wiped his tears: "Fan Shilang doesn't know, this time to Chang'an, although I am the main envoy, but there is still one person in the mission, who has a noble status in the Dongying Kingdom, and is the son of the prime minister of the Dongying Kingdom, Yiheyun!" ”

"Oh? What happened to Igayun? ”

"Fan Shilang doesn't know, Iga Yun is the first time to go to the country, and on the way to the Red Flag messenger, he has now been investigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Dali Temple, according to the laws of the kingdom, his crime should be punished, but if Iga Yun is beheaded, I am afraid that my time will run out after returning to China!" After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, and then looked at Fan Shilang: "I implore Fan Shilang to save that Iga Yun's life, I will be thanked!" ”

Fan Jian had known about this for a long time, but after hearing it, he was as shocked as if he had heard it for the first time: "What, rushing into the Red Flag Messenger?" What's the matter! ”

After finishing speaking, he stood up from his position, paced back and forth, as if thinking of what to do, and kept muttering: "Gao Shan Sui, Gao Shan Sui, you are a minister of the vassal country may not know my Tang Law, I am divided into step delivery, horse delivery and urgent foot delivery, this urgent foot delivery is mostly military information transmission, for four hundred miles, six hundred miles, eight hundred miles expedited, this red flag messenger is eight hundred miles expedited, holding a gold medal, if there is a blockade, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"Don't say that you are a foreign envoy, even if you are a real official, if you dare to stop it, you will be directly killed, not to mention ......"

After saying that, he sat back in his place.

Gao Shansui looked at Fan Jian, and already knew in his heart that this matter might not be able to be done by this Fan Shilang, and yesterday he learned about Tang Law in detail, it was indeed not the prince who was bothering him, according to the law of the Yu Tang Empire, blocking the Red Flag Messenger was indeed beheaded, and no matter how high or low he was.

"This thing, this thing is difficult to do!" Fan Jian muttered in his mouth, but he heard another voice in Gao Shansui's ears, this matter is difficult to do, it doesn't mean that it can't be done, Gao Shansui's eyes showed a light of hope, as if there was a play!

"Fan Shilang save me!"

Gao Shansui knelt directly on the ground: "As long as Fan Shilang is willing to help, we will be rewarded with heavy gifts, and after returning to China, we will tell our prime minister like this, and ...... when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, Gao Shan Sui turned his head and glanced at his subordinates, and a Dongying man who followed quickly ran out of Fan Jian's mansion, and walked in with a box with a pile of rare jewels.

These things are just part of the finances brought by the Dongying envoy this time, and they were originally used as a worship ceremony, which was used for those who sent Tang envoys to worship their teachers, but now that Iga Yun has been sent down to Dali Temple, it is most important to deal with Iga Yun's affairs first, so Gao Shan Sui did not hesitate to spend his blood and was ready to bribe Fan Jian.

Fan Jian looked at the box of treasures below, his eyes lit up, and his mouth muttered: "This thing is really difficult to do, but it is not without a turnaround, if it is ......."
