Spring rain is as expensive as oil, although it is rainy in the south, but it is also difficult to have heavy rain at this time.

But tonight, a muffled thunder shook the sky in the gloomy night sky, followed by a series of torrential rains that poured down the entire capital.

In the prison where the Criminal Department was hidden alone, Ye Yu sat at the table next to him and drank tea and tea, watching the torrential rain outside the prison door, but he said to himself: "What a timely rain......

Miko Akinomiya, who was sitting on the side, looked at Ye Yu in front of her, and didn't want to break the tranquility.

"Her Royal Highness Meizi personally came to visit the Heavenly Prison, which really makes Ye grateful!" Ye Yu took a sip of fragrant tea gently, and then smiled gently at Miko Akimiya with a side face.

"Lord Ye is suffering here, it's better to ...... If you return to Japan with Miko, you will definitely be reused by the emperor......"

In the past two months in Lin'an, Miko Akimiya has studied Chinese diligently, and she has become much more proficient than when she first came to the Great Song Dynasty. Although there are still some sentences that are not very smooth, some basic communication can still be handled.

"Go to Japan with Her Highness Miko?" Ye Yu was obviously a little surprised that Miko Akimiya said this.

"Yes, we in Japan are not wronged...... A good person like Lord Vain Ye is considered to be a ...... Lord Ye is wrong, and Miko will also protect ...... Keeping you safe ......"

Ye Yu smiled with interest: "Why, His Royal Highness Meizi thinks that Ye is a murderer?" ”

"No, no, no...... It's ......" Miko Akinomiya was afraid that Ye Yu would misunderstand what she meant, so she hurriedly waved her green jade hand to explain.

"Okay, okay, His Royal Highness Meizi doesn't have to take it to heart, Ye is just talking casually!"

Ye Yu immediately put the tea cup on the table, and Miko Akinomiya with a slightly slower expression on her face hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Ye Yu.

"His Royal Highness Miko doesn't have to worry, there will be no change about what Ye promised before......"

Ye Yu looked around the surroundings of the cell, and then smiled: "After tonight, we won't talk here!" ”

"Lord Ye means ......"

Miko Akinomiya didn't understand the deep meaning of Ye Yu's words, and looked at Ye Yu suspiciously.

In addition to visiting, she also came to persuade Ye Yu to come today. Even if Ye Yu killed the prince of Goryeo, it was not impossible for him to save Ye Yu's life if he wanted to save his life.

Miko Akimiya has even made the decision to contribute to many Japanese trading ports in order to be able to protect Ye Yu.

Because she Miko Akinomiya knows that the energy contained in a Ye Yu is immeasurable, and whether it is the economy or culture in Japan, a person like Ye Yu is needed to take the helm.

Just when Miko Akimiya was puzzled, a noise outside the prison broke the rare silence.

I saw that Yue Lei, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, was leading the way, and Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, personally came to the forbidden land of the heavenly prison. When Qing Wang Zhao Kai came to the outside of the cell, he immediately laughed heartily: "Fourth brother, I have wronged you!" ”

"Xiaguan Ye Yu has seen His Royal Highness King Qing!"

Ye Yu's words are showing the difference between dignity and inferiority, although it is normal for King Zhao Kai of Qing to call him a fourth brother, because as the godson of the current emperor, he should also be ranked fourth according to his age.

But this is just a name, and now Ye Yu is making such a gesture, obviously a monarch and minister have other intentions.

King Qing Zhao Kai naturally saw Ye Yu's intentions, so he took over with these words: "Lord Ye, please hurry up, if it weren't for your plan, King Gong's conspiracy would not be revealed!" ”

"Meizi has seen His Royal Highness King Qing......" Miko Qiugong saw that King Qingwang Zhao Kai suddenly arrived, and hurriedly learned the etiquette of the Han people, and gave a salute.

King Qing, who helped Ye Yu, noticed Miko Akinomiya, and then said calmly: "It turns out that the prince is also here, no courtesy!" ”

Immediately, he didn't pay attention to Miko Akimiya, but pulled Ye Yu aside, and asked with a wink: "Lord Ye, I have heard that you are suave for a long time, and now it seems that it is really true......"

"Your Highness is smiling!"

"Hey, people are not romantic teenagers, let alone a famous person like you, although Japan is a barbarian island country in the east, but this prince Akinomiya Miko is also not good, or, this king asks his father to give him a marriage?"

Looking at the evil smile on the face of King Qing Zhao Kai, Ye Yu couldn't help but shudder, especially when Zhao Kai said that he was giving marriage, he deliberately raised his voice to look at Miko Qiumiya.

The two of them whispered nearby, and they could hear it clearly if they were a little louder, so Miko Akinomiya, who had excellent hearing, naturally listened in detail, so she lowered her head with a blushing face.

But at this moment, she could focus her ears tightly, because she urgently needed to know how Ye Yu would reply.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, Xiaguan and His Royal Highness Meizi have a personal relationship, and there is no personal relationship between children and daughters, and besides, Xiaguan and Fuwang's daughter have a marriage contract......"

Qingwang Zhao Kai waved his hand indifferently: "This is wrong, it is common sense for a husband to have three wives and four concubines, why do you want to stick to these?" ”

"What's going on out there? Is the Eucharist all right? As soon as Ye Yu heard this King Qing's words, he became more and more unsound, so he took the initiative to change the topic and prevaricate.

Seeing that Ye Yu was reluctant to say too much on this matter, King Qing patted Ye Yu's shoulder with relief and said: "The overall situation has been decided, King Gong, Li Dao and others are all subdued, although my father is frightened, but his feelings are still stable." ”

"The defense of Gyeonggi in Beijing has been replaced by General Li, and the palace has been stabilized at this moment, and my father ordered this king to come and summon you to the palace to meet you! Lord Ye, come with me into the palace to meet my father! ”

Ye Yu heard the deep meaning of the last few words of King Zhao Kai of Qing very clearly, but he waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, Xia Guan Jian yì immediately went to the Goryeo Embassy Post and arrested that Goryeo envoy Jin Fu!" ”

"This is natural, this king has already notified Dali Temple to go and arrest it, you should follow me into the palace to see you!"

"Your Highness, there is a lot of dampness in this cell, and the lower official has an old cold in his legs, and he has been in this cell for a few days, and he has already felt very uncomfortable, so I ask His Highness to return to His Majesty xià......"

"What! Relapse!? ”

Qing King Zhao Kai was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to reprimand Yue Lei angrily: "Yue Lei, you are so bold, you know that Lord Ye has an old illness, but what is the reason why you are so slow?" ”

"Your Highness...... Your Highness...... this matter"

Yue Lei was frightened and trembling on the spot, he didn't know what to say, he knew that now the situation outside had fallen to the ground, and King Gong Zhao had completely collapsed, and now the power in the dynasty led by King Qing had secretly risen.

Therefore, at this time, Yue Lei, as a person who favors King Gong Zhao Dan, can be described as conscientious at this time.

"Okay, quickly send someone to send Lord Ye back to the house immediately!"

"Yes, yes, the next official will arrange ......"

Yue Lei nodded and said that he was going to go down to make arrangements, but Miko Akinomiya took over and said: "Miko already has a car outside, if Lord Ye doesn't dislike the small and simple car, Miko can personally send it back to the house......

"Uh......"

"This ......"

Qiumiya Miko's words made several people present a little stunned, Yue Lei was hesitant when he heard this, so he turned his eyes to King Qing Zhao Kai as if he had an inquiry.

Qing King Zhao Kai looked at Ye Yu and Qiu Gong Meizi with strange eyes, and then smiled meaningfully: "Prince Nei personally sent it off, this is naturally the best, and the care on the way is much more careful than the people here!" ”

"Your Highness, in fact, the lower officials can go back by themselves, so they don't bother......"

Ye Yu wanted to say something to refuse this matter, but Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "This matter is so decided, this king will go back to the palace to ask his father and the emperor, and order the imperial doctor to go to the palace to treat Lord Ye!" ”

"Your Highness......"

"Needless to say, another day in Zhulin Yaxuan, this king wants to thank your brother!" Zhao Kai said with a smile, then turned around and left the prison.

Looking at Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, who was far away, Ye Yu's face showed a helpless look.

Miko Akinomiya on the side said softly: "Lord Ye, please!" ”

"Uh-he-he, Her Highness Miko, please!" Ye Yu embarrassedly made a humble concession and motioned to Miko Akinomiya to go first.

Ye Yu wanted to notify the family in the house to come and pick him up, but he didn't expect this Japanese prince to be so enthusiastic. In the face of such hospitality, Ye Yu naturally would not refuse, but it seemed a little ambiguous to share a carriage with him.

Stumbling along the way, lonely men and widows are in the same car, but the physical contact is not enough to communicate with outsiders.

Although Miko Akimiya wanted to talk to Ye Yu several times on the way, Ye Yu was not moved at all.

However, this Japanese prince is still reserved, which has changed some of Ye Yu's inherent concepts. Because Ye Yu has always thought that Japanese women are very casual in the relationship between the sexes in ethics.

After returning to the mansion, Ye Yu immediately ordered that the scholar Ah Kuan and individual servants in the mansion should all be arrested!

Among these people, the one who makes Ye Yu feel the most sad is Ah Kuan, who has been by Ye Yu's side since Chuzhou, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion over the years.

In fact, when Li Chongzhi died, when he found the murder weapon in his house, Ye Yu was already aware of it.

Although the case was solved afterwards, Ye Yu agreed that there must still be hidden dangers in this matter, because although his house does not say copper coins and iron walls, it is not a cat or dog that can enter and exit at will, let alone hide the murder weapon in his own mansion to blame him.

So there must be an internal response in this, and it is precisely because of this concern that Ye Yu will secretly let She Dongcheng of Longmen Dart Xing secretly investigate, and the result is really found out that the cat is tired......

The theft of the false decree is not accidental!

Back in the study, Baili Feng has been waiting in the study for a long time.

"Brother Baili, the matter in the palace is over?" Ye Yu first gave Baili Feng a bear hug, and then sat down at the tea table on the side.

Baili Feng smiled and replied: "The four major commanders of the palace internal guards have all been killed, and the rest of the internal guards have all been disarmed, and the current situation in the palace has been stabilized." And the Imperial Palace Janissaries, as well as the important military defense of Gyeonggi, have been replaced by Lee Hyun-chung! ”

"I know all these things, you should know that this is not what I asked!" Ye Yu poured a pot of wine to himself, and said to himself while drinking.

"Baili has already taken advantage of this chaotic opportunity to install our people among the palace guards according to Brother Ye's orders!"

"Is it reliable? Does it stand up to scrutiny? Ye Yu put down his wine glass, raised his eyes and quietly glanced at Baili Feng.

Baili Feng said solemnly: "Brother Ye, rest assured, these people are the people of our Fire Lotus Sect who have been hidden for many years, and they can stand up to scrutin......y."

"It's your people?" Ye Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and then stared at Baili Feng tightly.

"Uh......"

Baili Feng suddenly realized that his words were wrong, and then changed his words with an embarrassed expression: "Baili knows that he is wrong!" ”

"Brother Baili, you have to remember that you are my friend Ye Yu, not a member of the Fire Lotus Sect!"

"Baili understands!" Facing Ye Yu's fierce gaze, Baili Feng felt a sudden cold sweat behind him.

The two chatted for a while after that, and finally Baili Feng asked with doubts: "Brother Ye, there is something unknown in Baili......

"You're trying to ask why I'm helping King Qing?"

"Exactly!"

Ye Yu shook his head, and then smiled meaningfully: "If you want to pay attention to a transition, you will understand in the future!" ”

……

At the beginning, after Ye Yu and King Qing left Qingliu Academy, they went to Zhulin Yaxuan to talk. During this period, the two talked a lot, that is, that time they talked together, and they laid out a big game of chess in the near future!

In the whirlpool of the crown prince's battle, King Zhao Kai of Qing is not a mindless person.

Although he has dealt with the government and has the rights of the crown prince, he is not justified in name after all. And as time went by, he felt more and more that his third brother was a means of retreating.

The Praetorian Guards in the palace are secretly deploying, which in itself is an extremely suspicious thing.

In addition, the pill he offered was a special elixir for coughing and asthma, but his father took it for a long time, and instead of seeing miraculous results, he became more and more sick.

This couldn't help but him didn't go to the secret investigation, but after some investigation, he learned that the pill had been replaced, and a drug with a strong sense of dependence was added, which would worsen the condition after taking it for a long time.

This incident made Qingwang Zhao Kai fall into a panic, because he couldn't explain this matter at all, this medicine was personally donated by him, if there was any mistake and mistake, it was him who would never recover in the end.

So in this matter, he has been hesitant, for the sake of his father's personal safety, he should have stopped immediately and explained the reason. But if that's the case, then the matter will never be explained by him.

Being in a certain position, it is impossible to say that there is no desire, so he doesn't want to ruin his future because of this pill.

But he also knows that this matter is like a quagmire, and if he can't take corresponding measures, he will only fall deeper and deeper!

Things have come to this point, Zhao Kai naturally knows that this is the trick of the third brother Zhao Dan, but how to crack this Zhenlong chess game is an extremely difficult thing to do.

In the end, he found Ye Yu, because Zhao Kai knew that in this kind of thing, he could only listen to Ye Yu's construction.

The main reason why Zhao Kai chose Ye Yu instead of discussing with Zhang Shuo, Zeng Di and others is that Ye Yu is a non-partisan person who stays out of the matter and sees things more thoroughly than ordinary people.

And Ye Yu was also secretly hesitating about the assassination of the Lantern Festival at that time, and after listening to the story of Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, although he couldn't say that he believed it, he also believed it eight or nine points.

Because Zhao Kai, the king of Qing in history, was so gentle that the throne of Jiangshan was won by King Gong Zhao Dan, which is very clear to Ye Yu.

So this matter came from the hands of King Gong Zhao Dan, Ye Yu was not surprised at all!

Moreover, because of the many assassinations against him over the years, and then Lin Weihan's tragic death in prison, Ye Yu couldn't ignore his previous suspicions.

So no matter how much of Qingwang Zhao Kai's words are true, these are not important to Ye Yu.

And the main reason why he chose to advance and retreat with King Qing was because he believed in his own intelligence!

The hundred miles of wind were planted in Yizhou, as well as the many eyes and ears arranged in Yizhou, and there were also many internal responses infiltrated in the Dingyuan army, and the information collected by these people fully showed that Li Dao's Dingyuan army was also doing unknown secret movements while suppressing bandits.

And the direction of this transfer is precisely the capital Lin'an.

Ye Yu can turn a blind eye to other strange moves, but Li Dao's army secretly poured in and took over the Gyeonggi Stronghold, and the mystery of this is actually self-evident.

Not for anything else, just because Li Dao is the father-in-law of King Gong Zhao Dan!

So Ye Yu was in Zhulin Yaxuan, chatting with King Qing about the assassins of the Lantern Festival, and when King Qing learned that there were assassins in his house, he was also shocked and didn't know why.

Because Zhao Kai didn't expect that his palace had already become a secret stronghold for the third brother to hide the murderer.

Afterwards, the two of them designed a series of plans in Zhulin Yaxuan, which also deduced a series of means and steps after King Gong.

Therefore, the subsequent search for assassins in Qingwangfu and the assassination of Zhao Kai in Dali Temple were just things that the two secretly planned in advance, and the person killed in Dali Temple was just Zhao Kai's stand-in.

The death of the stand-in King Qing made King Gong's pace even faster, and it didn't take long for Yuan Peng's confession to send Taiwei Zhang Shuo, as well as Zeng Di and other members of the Qingwang Party to prison.

In order to cope with the current rapidly changing situation, Ye Yu directly transferred Yizhou's Baili Feng back secretly. Because a person's energy is always limited, with the help of Baili Feng, he Ye Yu is also a lot more down-to-earth in his heart.

Gong Wang Zhao's various methods were actually in Ye Yu's plan, but the only thing that Ye Yu did not expect was that he was also in prison.

At the beginning, he thought that in this battle for the throne, King Gong Zhao Duan would not treat him well, but he never thought that he would also be placed in the Chonghua Palace.

However, in the face of such an unexpected event, Ye Yu did not fail to take corresponding measures afterwards.

First of all, when he visited Xiaozong Zhao Yan's cell, he stuffed the written note in his hand into Zhao Yan's hand, and described the brief process of the matter, so that Xiaozong Zhao Yan's heart had a preparation.

If it weren't for this, when there was a coup d'état in the night palace, it would be impossible for Baili Feng and Lone Wolf and others to quietly enter the palace.

The second is to order Baili Feng overnight, use the examination period to hype up this matter, and encourage the poor scholars of several states to jointly sign a letter.

Because Ye Yu knew in his heart that King Gong Zhao Dian was best at assassination, with his current identity, although Zhao Dian did not dare to kill openly, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not kill ruthlessly.

Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of accident from happening, the only way to put pressure is on the joint letter of the Hanmen scholars.

Because according to the news of the internal response arranged by him in King Gong's mansion, King Gong Zhao Dian will choose to take the throne at the time of the examination.

It's an excellent time, because it's a good day to come out on the throne, and it's going to cover things up in a way that celebrates the whole world.

Then King Gong Zhao chose to seize the throne at this time, mainly because he wanted to win a good fortune, so he would inevitably take care of the feelings of the students.

With the joint letter of these poor scholars, in order to appease the feelings of the students in the capital, then Zhao Dian will definitely not kill Ye Yu, at least not in the near future!

Because there are many surging undercurrents in the replacement of the throne, one less of these unstable factors is a stability!

A large number of students in the capital can't mess up, and Ye Yu can't die for the time being!

Ye Yu grasped this key point, which made King Gong Zhao Dian throw a bogey.

And in those days, Li Xianzhong had secretly entered the capital to divide the military, and King Qing also quietly infiltrated the palace to plot against the Praetorian Guard, and this series of things were in full swing in secret.

However, this qiē is all due to the choice of King Qing and Ye Yu to trust each other, otherwise they would not have played such a game of Zhenlong chess under the nose of King Gong Zhao Dian.
