"Since my father thinks so, what about the Great Zhou Emperor?" At this time, Jenny thought of Zhang Lingyang.

However, after careful consideration, Jenny soon came to the conclusion that the Great Zhou Emperor would make the same choice as her father.

The reason is simple, if Da Zhou wins, he can use Princess Victoria and the child in her womb to further strengthen the relationship between Da Zhou and Yingli, at least not to make the English people so disgusted or hate Da Zhou.

If Princess Victoria inherits the throne of the British Empire, Da Zhou can at least recover some of the losses.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, at least for the Royals. Because no matter whether the future is won or lost, the thrones of England and Great Zhou are the descendants of Zhang Lingyang.

Of course, all this is premised on Princess Victoria's ascension to the throne of the British Empire.

In this way, Princess Victoria will have to be a widow for at least half her life. Because once the Great Zhou side agrees that Princess Victoria will go to England to inherit the throne, Princess Victoria will not be allowed to marry again for decades to come.

The customs of Da Zhou's side Jenny knew very well that if Princess Victoria married again after leaving Da Zhou, it would completely anger the behemoth of Da Zhou.

Even if Da Zhou's side can't help it for various reasons, the English government will definitely not allow Princess Victoria to remarry, because they can't afford to lose such a person.

The more she thought about it, the more Jenny felt that Princess Victoria was not worth it. Because although Princess Victoria's identity is noble, she can only become a bargaining chip in the political game between Da Zhou and England in the future, and there is no choice.

Here, after Jenny left the embassy area, she was depressed on the way back to the palace. On the other hand, Zhang Lingyang didn't know anything about Prince Jack, the first-in-line heir to the English throne, who was seriously ill and incurable. Unbeknownst to him, once Prince Jack dies of illness, his princess Princess Victoria will be asked by England to return to her home country to inherit the throne.

Even if Zhang Lingyang knew about it, he was afraid that he would not be very concerned about it. Because in Zhang Lingyang's view, the English government and aristocracy would never allow a child with half of the Great Zhou blood to become the heir to the throne of his own country.

Maybe this is the difference between Eastern and Western ideologies, at least in Zhang Lingyang's view, this is basically impossible to happen.

……

The winter weather is very cold, and after a heavy snowfall, the faces of the people blown by the cold north are painful.

At this time, Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, had fine sweat on his forehead and hurried to the front of Chen'an Palace.

Seeing Xiao Fuzi guarding outside the hall, he took a deep breath, Zheng Yongji slowed down and came to Xiao Fuzi, and asked softly, "Your Majesty can you rest?" ”

"Long live the Lord is reviewing the folds!" The school uniform saw the fine sweat on Zheng Yongji's face, and asked, "But what happened?" Why did Zheng Ge look like he was in a hurry? ”

"Isn't it?" Zheng Yongji sighed and said, "Something happened in Liaodong!" ”

"Liaodong?" When Xiaofuzi heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't ask anything. Hurriedly turned around and returned to the hall to ask Zhang Lingyang for instructions.

After a short while, Xiao Fuzi came out and said to Zheng Yongji: "Elder Zheng Ge, long live the lord, please come in." ”

"Thank you, Father-in-law!" Saying that, Zheng Yongji walked into the Chen'an Hall under the guidance of Xiaofuzi.

"What's going on in Liaodong?" Zhang Lingyang saw that Zheng Yongji was about to kneel down and salute, waved his hand to signal him to be exempt, and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, just an hour ago, the minister received a letter from a local official in Liaodong, mentioning that the local guards in Liaodong were suspected of buying and selling human beings. This is the official's recital, please look at it Your Majesty! As he spoke, Zheng Yongji took out a copy of the fold in his arms and presented it.

At first, Zhang Lingyang didn't care, thinking that it was just hearsay. However, seeing that what was said on the fold was reasonable and well-organized, Zhang Lingyang's brows couldn't help frowning.

After carefully reading the twists and turns, Zhang Lingyang ordered Zheng Yongji to sit down and rest for the time being, but on the other hand, he ordered Xiaofuzi to pass on the Jinyi Guard to command Han Xiao and Xining Hou Ma Jinzhong to come.

After the half-pillar incense time, Han Xiao and Ma Jinzhong came to the Chen'an Palace, and Zhang Lingyang ordered Xiaofuzi to hand the two of them to browse.

After the two of them finished browsing, Zhang Lingyang looked at Han Xiao and asked, "Han Xiao, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, tell me what's going on?" Why haven't you received any news from Jinyiwei? ”

Han Xiao hurriedly got up and confessed, "There are very few personnel deployed by Jinyiwei in Liaodong, and they are still in the army, and the personnel are even smaller, this is the poor deployment of Weichen, please forgive your majesty." ”

Because of some historical reasons, Liaodong can be said to be the most relaxed place for Jinyiwei's monitoring, plus the incident happened in the army, with Jinyiwei's current ability, it is even more inadequate.

Since the reform of the military system, the military cabinet has become more and more strict in reviewing things such as the household registration of the soldiers in various places, so if the Jinyi Wei secret agent wants to blend into the army, unless someone above nods and agrees or turns a blind eye, it is difficult for the Jinyi Wei secret agent to get in.

What's more, the military does not want to be under the supervision of Jinyiwei all the time, so the investigation of suspicious elements in the army is naturally very strict.

In the past few years, hundreds of Jinyi Wei agents have been discovered by the military in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have been removed from the military for various reasons.

It is also for this reason that the supervision of Jinyiwei in the army is very inadequate.

Regarding this, Han Xiao naturally didn't dare to tell Zhang Lingyang, otherwise several bigwigs in the military would have to skin him alive.

But now that things have come to this point, things are a little bit unconcealable.

Glancing at Ma Jinzhong's face, Han Xiao told Zhang Lingyang about the various phenomena encountered by the Jinyi Wei secret agent in the army.

After listening, Zhang Lingyang looked at Ma Jinzhong and asked, "Is what Han Xiao said true?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, everything that Commander Han said is true, and these are all decided by the ministers and other ministers of the military cabinet after consultation." Ma Jinzhong did not shirk it, and directly admitted that Jinyiwei's work in the army was difficult to see, and it was precisely because of his opposition to the military cabinet that it was caused.

Zhang Lingyang did not ask Ma Jinzhong for the specific reason, because after a little thought, Zhang Lingyang came to several possibilities.

So Zhang Lingyang said: "This matter will be put aside for the time being, let's discuss the matter of Liaodong today!" I don't know if it's true or not, so I thought about sending Jin Yiwei to command Han Xiao to Liaodong to investigate the matter. In addition, the military cabinet also sent a cabinet minister to Liaodong to investigate the matter on the grounds of inspecting the defense. ”

Considering that Jinyiwei has always had no majesty in the army, don't find out something at that time, and finally can't catch people, it will be troublesome. So after thinking about it again and again, Zhang Lingyang sent a cabinet minister from the military pavilion to Liaodong to investigate the matter......
