In the thick dark night, everything is quiet and lonely, only the sound of clearing and checking faintly in the city still shows the noisy noise of the troubled times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Silent in the night, the sense of silence of meditation can also be infinitely vertical and horizontal, turning clouds and rain, waiting for idle changes, all kinds of mental exploration, antelope hanging horns, no trace of each other.

Finally, when I was busy lying on the black cloud brahma mattress, I unfastened my outer robe, put on only a white undergarment and arranged myself in a big character, and closed my eyes.

One of the side rooms of this White Horse Temple's Pinglan Pavilion has been adjusted to temporarily settle the envoys, and in order to facilitate the care, I have also been assigned a temporary residence.

In the name of festivals, the eldest princess moved out to the White Horse Temple before the battle, and the people and horses of the firearms battalion outside the Praetorian Guard were unharmed, and the White Horse Temple and its vast fields escaped from the artillery fire.

Although it is close at hand, this untouched painting of a floating tutu and the bedroom of the light gauze tent still make me think frequently of the tragic situation in General Qin Yi's house and the nearby streets and alleys.

Thinking of this, Fu thought about the errand that Fu Shao and the eldest princess had to explain at night, and felt that the responsibility was quite heavy.

Therefore, in the rebellion of the peasant army, the lord also felt that it was necessary to investigate the root cause and investigate the people's feelings, and this government affairs were naturally necessary to be organized by Fu Shao.

With Fu Shao's consistent style and methods, they are all secret investigation envoys and open investigation envoys in multiple ways, the envoy team is streamlined, and each level has its own emphasis, and they don't know who the other party is, let alone know each other's tracking methods and targets.

It is also a way to avoid mutual communication between officials and the fact that the results reported are not accurate.

I am naturally the secret envoy sent by Fu Shao all the way.

After receiving the will with Fu Shao, I was concerned about each other with him, and I also told him about the situation at home, and Fu Shao also said after listening:

"If there are no bandits on the Xiangfu side who deliberately attack, there should be no big problem, and the boundary of that side is on a wide road, which is inconvenient to fortify and set up strongholds.

There are no high-rise buildings, traffic points, grain and grass ordnance warehouses, important police posts or places for soldiers to fight around, so there is no big problem in a few days, but it is General Qin's side, I am afraid that it is worrying. ”

I was also embarrassed and talked to him a little homely. Only then was the eldest princess called to die.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the hall of the eldest princess's deliberation this time, he was reprimanded by a thunderbolt: "This palace ordered you to check the important houses with Cao Qin, why did you leave without permission halfway?" What a crime to abolish the public for private purposes! ”

When I looked at the eldest princess, I saw that she was holding her near the fragrant bun loosely at will, with a colorful jade head flower, a group of colorful winged butterflies fluttering in the clouds, and a long robe of spring brocade outside was loosely draped, sitting straight behind a long table with pear blossom pendants.

There was a lot of pen and ink on the table, but she didn't look at me, just looked at me fiercely.

Standing sideways, wearing a round-brimmed civil official hat, wearing a Suzhou and Hangzhou dyed blue and blue Wen Sanpin peacock mending narrow sleeves to hang the robe - the eldest princess Xixi, who is also the father of Wang Geng, one of the diplomatic envoys who negotiated with Xinyue this time - Wang Jin,

also looked like he didn't know whether to persuade or not, and shook his head at me slightly. I had to hurriedly kneel down and ask for sin, this was the first time I knelt down to ask for guilt after I came to Beiming, and my heart was confused.

"The end will be guilty."

The eldest princess continued to relentlessly, "Do you know what is the purpose of letting you go with Cao Qin?" ”

I suddenly felt a little ashamed in my heart, but I only replied, "The last general is stupid, and I ask the eldest princess to show me." ”

The eldest princess threw a few pages of paper next to me with her hand, "Knowingly ask!" ”

I picked up those pages of paper and looked at them, they were written by the secret spies planted by the eldest princess in our team, which described in detail which houses Cao Qin had visited, which houses he was particularly familiar with, and which houses he was secretly familiar with to a suspicious degree.

In which houses people were found, how to deal with them, where they were suspicious, etc. After the eldest princess asked, I realized that her name was with Cao Qin, but she wanted to use my spy observation and Cao Qin's performance to have a psychological foundation for the high-ranking officials and nobles who may be connected in the shadows.

After I read it carefully, I recalled it carefully, and hurriedly said, "The last general, please treat the crime and make meritorious service, the last general has some details for the eldest princess to take in addition to this, can you use pen and paper to talk to the last general, and the last general will write and the eldest princess to see"

After that, I saw the eldest princess's eyes, Wang Jin took the pen and ink with me, I had to kneel and catch the pen, and make up the missing details one by one.

The eldest princess's complexion was a little pale, and she was silent for a moment, and then she said, "Your ability is incomparable to those spies in the army, but your discipline is really angry, and this palace has high expectations for you, if you don't go to visit General Qin Yi's injury halfway, there are many situations in the back, and you can observe and visit Cao Qin, which is always more reassuring than others."

Although the Lord is lenient and benevolent, he does not intend to do anything about the high-ranking officials of the DPRK and Central China who have been linked in the past at present, and expects them to reform themselves, but how can he not know the importance of the enemy and the weight of each person's role in his heart?

You look at people in the micro together, and you are very good at it, and this palace has such a heavy task with you, how can you be so confused? It's General Qin Qiong, who only returned to the house to take care of his father after the change of guard and was allowed to report leave, and you, you-" After speaking, his face was slightly red, and he was a little panting.

Wang Jin hurriedly took the ginseng tea from the side hand, and said softly, "The eldest princess is angry, she has worked hard for the past few days, don't be angry, the phoenix body is important." ”

He looked at me again, and said with a soft expression, "Weichen thinks that General Fu's move is also human nature, although he has not been able to appreciate the hard work of the eldest princess, but he has great regrets. And General Fu has been working very hard for the past few days, and he has a lot of credit, so let the general get up and speak. ”

The eldest princess took the ginseng tea, didn't look at me, drank a few sips, sighed, and said softly, "Get up, I'm a boy in Beiming, and I don't want to bow down."

Wang Jin hurriedly came over and helped me up and said, "General Fu should not be surprised, the eldest princess is also deeply in love and responsible, the eldest princess cherishes the general's talent very much, so General Fu should not be sad." ”

"How?" I hugged my fists and said, "Thunder and rain and dew are all heavenly graces, and besides, the last general is stupid, and he failed to gain insight into the eldest princess's mind in time, and asked the eldest princess to punish him." ”

The hall was very quiet, and the flickering candlelight shone as bright as day.

After a quarter of an hour, the eldest princess finished drawing ginseng tea, took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant, wiped her mouth, rinsed her mouth again, and then looked at me slowly, and said with a faint expression, "This palace does have important tasks to be handed over to General Fu, but this important task is quite dangerous, and it also has a lot to do,"

Speaking of this, the eldest princess looked at Wang Jin, and Wang Jin deliberately bypassed the ink embroidery screen after the eldest princess sat down, and took out two pieces of golden armor from behind.

I looked at it intently, one was the set of Liang Yi's gold armor worn by the eldest prince when he died, although after the wind and rain, artillery and fire, there were all kinds of knife shadows on it that could not be completely removed, but after wiping it up, it was even more dazzling, and even dizzying.

The other is the fine gold armor I obtained in Weiyu City, but I have already pawned it in order to find a house, how did the eldest princess get it?

Just thinking about it, Wang Jin slowly handed over the two pieces of armor, and said to me gently, "The eldest princess knows that General Fu loves this armor very much, and later heard that General Fu sold a pair of armor, which is of the highest quality, so she made a special trip to buy it, so she thought that one day the general would make a meritorious service and reward it to the general."

Seeing that General Fu's eyes were straight when he saw the armor on the eldest prince's body, he privately sent someone to clean the lining, wipe it new, and prepare it for General Fu. General Fu, the eldest princess treats the general with great heart and loves your talent. With that, he gave me another deep look and motioned for me to take off my armor.

I said in my heart that I don't know how much the task is to die for a lifetime, so I prepared these two generous gifts, but I don't have this generous gift, if the eldest princess sends me to carry out the task of nine deaths and a lifetime, can I not go as a soldier?

So I still appreciate this deep friendship, as for the face, I naturally want to make a look of gratitude and kindness, took over the two pairs of armor, and said with emotion: "The eldest princess is very gracious, and she will definitely serve the country in the end." But by the eldest princess's dispatch. ”

Seeing this, the eldest princess motioned for me to put the armor aside, also known as me to sit, Wang Jin also sat with her side hand, and ordered the maid to serve tea, and when the maid retreated, she said:

"This time, Fu Xianggong sent you to secretly investigate the situation of the people's rural land and the management of the people, and I arranged for a person to go with me, just as your entourage, and I will later say that I know with Fu Xianggong."

"Yes." A bad feeling rose in my heart, and I looked at Wang Jin, and at a glance, I felt that I had unfortunately guessed correctly.

"Cao Qin is with you." The eldest princess continued, "You know the identity of Cao Qin, originally used him to lure the eldest prince and many rebels and thieves to death, and quelled the disaster, so I wanted to kill him, forever calamity,

However, I did not realize that he was quite insightful in his observation and understanding of the folk situation in Beiming, so I had no choice but to make a false gesture to him, and signaled that he was ready to cooperate with him and the forces behind him, Mrs. Hokushosho, and the Tokugawa Shogun, but it was more helpful to use him to assist you in investigating the causes of the people.

Let him secretly investigate with you, in addition to the fact that you can find a way to get his thinking, so that you can complete the errand of the public transport to pay for more ideas.

What's more, during the time you are investigating together, you have to show him to me, and you must not let him communicate with Luo Wei on any news, and we naturally have spies who will pretend to communicate with his master's family.

As soon as you notice that he is moving, immediately kill him and act cheaply.

In short, before the whole thing is understood, try to squeeze out his existing ideas, and after that, just kill him.

This widow, for many years, I don't know how many lives of my Beiming soldiers and people have been killed by one person, and he has assassinated the servants of the He family and plotted to assassinate Geng Mama, and he knows too much, and he must not stay. ”

"Yes," I agreed, continuing to listen to her.

"However, Cao Qin's wisdom is unparalleled, you must be cautious, this palace's attitude and thoughts towards him, he may not be ignorant of it, you must also be careful to protect yourself, so as not to be killed by him.

Don't look down on him when he was so weak when he was attacked, just underestimate him, when he was alone in the bloodbath of the He family, his martial arts were also unusual, and he was ruthless, you need to be careful everywhere to protect yourself.

If you fail to complete this task, die in the hands of others, or let Cao Qin and Luo Wei find an opportunity to communicate, then you are not worthy of the attention of this palace. Do you understand? ”

The eldest princess's words were cold, but her tone was gentle and kind, perhaps she wanted to make up for the real cruelty and ruthlessness with that gentle tone.

However, I was originally a spy child, so I naturally knew that this was the case, so I also responded sincerely, "The last general understands." ”

When I came out, Wang Jin and I went back to the courtyard where our messengers were, and when we came to my house together, the two of us sat down on either side of a square table in the room, and talked for a while.

"Actually, the eldest princess has some doubts about dealing with Xianggong's arrangements for some of the investigators, and the eldest princess sees that although the inspectors have no problems with their official positions, personalities, light and dark messengers, and the relationship between multiple lines, etc., she admires Fu Xianggong's talent very much, but-"

Wang Jin looked at me, looked at the candle in front of the table, and sighed faintly, "It's just that these officials, all of them are not from official eunuch families, that is, you, how can you ever work as a farmer, meet the county officials, and understand the affairs of the grassroots fields?"

Although not everyone should know this, but no one has ever understood it, so it is a bit of a suspicion of talking on paper."

Speaking of this, I suddenly had some realization, the heart of this eldest princess is not an ordinary person, no time to lay out is not a thing to be able to do an arrow seven or eight eagles shot down together, not according to common sense at all, but there is a very meticulous,

Although there are also the suggestions and suggestions of the characters around him, Geng Mama and Wang Jin, but it has to be said that she is a natural high-quality spy, no wonder Qin Qing has so much respect for her. “

What the eldest princess means is that Cao Qin was originally born in a peasant village in Luo Wei, and later took over the power of his aunt and brother to be cultivated and valued, and became a samurai, does he have another understanding of Jiaxuan's agriculture and animal husbandry, and the control mode of grassroots county officials and gentry? ”

Wang Jin nodded lightly, and said, "General Fu is a smart person, not only that, but he is outside the Xinyue culture of Beiming, and he is well versed in the reality of Beiming officialdom, and the concept of angle must find another way, and the eldest princess observed in private, this person has no ill feelings towards the general,

I am quite willing to discuss with the general, so the general can be guided by his true temperament, so that he can make more suggestions, and he also has to listen to different words and learn from others.

As he spoke, he untied the jade pendant carved into the pattern of Guan Gong on his waist and gave it to me, "But I'm still afraid that Cao Qin is vicious and spicy, and he has been trained for a long time, so he will not say anything about the general's attention, so I will not say anything about the attention of eating at the entrance, etc.,

The secret sentinel martial arts school should be enough, in case he has any back-hand contact, General Fu can use this jade plate to find the nearest official stationed in the vicinity to borrow troops to encircle and suppress, this is the eldest princess's private seal, in case of change, or can help the general. ”

"How dare I accept such a generous gift?" I sighed, "Besides, this is the eldest princess's love for Mr., I am a junior, and I am Wang Geng's classmate, how can I be stable for myself and take away Mr.'s protective things?" ”

"Take it," Wang Jin said as he opened the door, "I am by the side of the princess, what can I do, all the characters, all the best use of things, people make the best use of their talents, it is a great good, Amitabha." ”

With that, he smiled at me and went straight back to his room.

Lying on the bed, I once again sorted out the various affairs before and after, pondered the contradictions in them, and sighed deeply after I understood the true purpose.

I found out the edicts and tokens of the secret envoy contact between the eldest princess Yin Xin Yu Pei and Fu Shao given by Wang Geng, and carefully looked at these things that may be life-saving at a critical time.
