Inside the big tent, two candles flickered and illuminated every corner of the tent. Although the candlelight was bright, it was far less warm than the charcoal fire in the brazier.

This special double-decker tent is made of a layer of cowhide and a layer of felt bonded and sewn, the outer felt to protect from the wind and cold, and the inner cowhide to keep warm. Coupled with the brazier inside the tent, you can't feel the cold outside at all.

Yelu Yu Liyan sat cross-legged on the thick, soft bearskin cushion, and read a letter carefully by candlelight.

It was said to be a letter, but it was not sealed, just a few paragraphs written in different fonts on a few pages.

This is a letter written by Yelu Yu Liyan to Emperor Mao De before he left, when he discussed countermeasures with these female Hanlin Undertakers of the Female Hanlin Academy. In order to avoid suspicion, Yu Min deliberately did not seal the envelope, but handed it directly to Yelu Yu Liyan.

Yelu Yu Liyan listened to Zhou Nan's suggestion and when she established the Women's Hanlin Academy, she wanted a young woman with an innocent family background and proficient in poetry, books and Chinese. Therefore, Emperor Maode's sworn sisters Yu Min, Kang Lan, and Zhang Jinzhi are naturally qualified, and these people have long been familiar with Yelu Yu Liyan, and they are close friends in the boudoir, so they all entered Yelu Yu Liyan's Hanlin Academy.

Now the Hanlin Academy of Yelu Yu Liyan is not only a secretariat, but also a bit like a shogunate. But whenever there is a political matter that needs to be dealt with by Yelu Yu Liyan, these girls are familiar with how to deal with it at home, and they are not selfish, so they come together to discuss the methods and make decisions, and everyone is naturally convinced.

This time was no exception. Yelu Yu Liyan said that the three princes of the Southern Dynasty wanted to use Yang Keshi to blackmail Zhou Nan, and then forced Zhou Nan to recapture Yanjing City for him, Yu Min thought of Emperor Maode at that time. If the third prince can encourage the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to send him to Xiongzhou to do things, then naturally he can also let Emperor Maode go to the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and let the emperor issue an order to transfer the third prince back.

If Emperor Maode takes the opportunity to say that the three princes did such a despicable and shameless thing in Xiongzhou, so that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is disgraced, and the reputation of the Southern Dynasty is discredited among the Han people in Yanjing, and Emperor Maode is picked up again, then the emperor of the Southern Dynasty will definitely issue an order to release Yang Keshi and the other families.

Yelu Yu Liyan asked suspiciously: "Although Emperor Mao and the third prince are not compatriots of the same mother, they are also the same prince and princess, how can Emperor Mao De help us so much?" ”

Yu Min walked behind Yelu Yu Liyan with a smile, pressed Yelu Yu Liyan's shoulders with both hands and said, "Don't worry, princess." Although Emperor Maode is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, she is very different from the women of the Southern Dynasty, she is bold by nature, decisive, and innocent, and she is in love with my children of the grassland. When Emperor Mao De was in Yanjing, she married me and Lan'er and others, and my sisters wrote to her that she would definitely help us. ”

Yelu Yu Liyan saw that Yu Min said yes, so he nodded and said, "If you get the help of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, it will also be the credit of the three of you." ”

Yu Min smiled and said, "Don't you bear to worry about the princess's troubles?" ”

Today, Yelu Yu Liyan went to the outside of Xiongzhou City to take a look, and sure enough, it was the same as he expected before he came, the three princes of the Southern Dynasty really didn't dare to mess around, but just urged themselves to find Yang Keshi and Zhou Nan here as soon as possible. I delayed for a few more days, and sent someone to send the letter from Yu Min and others to Kaifeng and hand it over to Emperor Maode, and it was enough to come and go for seven or seven days. When he found Yang Keshi ten days later, it is estimated that the third prince will be ordered to return to Beijing.

Thinking of this, Yelu Yu Liyan asked Yinping to send someone to find Gao Yuanlai.

Soon after Yinping left, Gao Yuan entered the tent with Yinping. Yelu Yu Liyan asked: "Brother Gao, since Tong Guan can send someone to send someone to send a letter to Sanssouci Village several times, presumably the village can also send a letter to Tong Guan, right?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "I didn't have any contact with Tong Guan before, only he Tong Guan sent weapons and grain to the cottage a few times. But it's close to the cottage, so I can send someone back to the cottage to ask. ”

Yelu Yu Liyan picked up the letter from Yu Min and others, Yelu Yu Liyan had already sealed the letter just now, and said to Gao Yuan: "There is a letter here, Brother Gao, you want to give it to Tong Guan and ask him to send it to Emperor Maode." Since Tong Guan carried the three princes behind his back to report to Sanssouci Village, he naturally had a gap with the three princes, if he had the opportunity to make the three princes disgraced, Tong Guan would be willing to help him. ”

Gao Yuan listened to the meaning of Yelu Yu Liyan's words, and already had a way to deal with Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Please rest assured, princess, even if you sneak into Xiongzhou City, I will also ask Tong Guan to send this letter to Emperor Maode." After speaking, Gao Yuan went out with the letter and sent someone back to the cottage to deliver the letter.

Early the next morning, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who had nourished his spirits, got up early, freshened up carefully, and asked people to find the armor given by his father, put it neatly, and excitedly took the guards of the Imperial City Division out of the city to think about meeting the princess of Shu.

Just as King Yun Zhao Kai was about to take someone out of the post house, Geng Nanzhong, the prince's right concubine, suddenly rushed out obliquely and stopped in front of King Yun Zhao Kai and others.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai was startled, and when he saw that it was Geng Nanzhong, he was immediately displeased and said: "What does the right concubine mean?" Why do you want to stop this king from leaving the museum? The staff behind Zhao Kai also followed and said Geng Nanzhong.

Geng Nanzhong knew that he was not treated well by these people, but he didn't pay attention to others, and just said to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun: "Weichen is in accordance with His Majesty's will to accompany the three princes to Xiongzhou on business, so naturally he wants to go with the three princes. If the three princes are out of the post house, Weichen should follow them. Xiongzhou is the border junction place, and the three princes should act in a downright manner, and don't be honest! ”

Looking at Geng Nanzhong's stubborn eyes and crossed arms, King Yun Zhao Kai had no choice, needless to say that the person in front of him was still his teacher, just the identity of the prince's right concubine, and King Yun Zhao Kai couldn't help but treat him politely.

Even he didn't know whether his father sent Geng Nanzhong to deal with the crown prince or let the prince's person contain him.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai can't, he will go to meet the beauty by himself, but he still has to bring his own teacher, but let him go with him, is it possible that he will talk to the princess, and he still has to stand in the middle?

At that moment, King Yun had no choice but to say with a pleasant face: "The student is about to take someone to meet the princess of the Shu Kingdom, in order to calm Yanjing." If Master Geng is fine, let's go together. ”

Geng Nanzhong naturally had nothing to do, and when he saw that King Yun promised to go with him, he dodged out of the way, let King Yun Zhao Kai go first, and he followed at the end, and the group went out of the West City Gate and went all the way to the north.

Last night, Tong Guan sent people overnight in the north of Xiongzhou City, three miles away from Xiongzhou City, and chose a high post, which is seven or eight miles away from the place where the soldiers camped, but it is very close to Xiongzhou. Moreover, the middle is high, and the four are low-lying, if there is an ambush, it can also be found in time, so there is no need to worry about loss.
