Yin Yuan and Yun Meng were talking in the room, when they suddenly heard Qing Yao report that a holy decree had arrived. Yin Yuan hurriedly tidied up his clothes, asked Yun Meng to wait in the study for a while, and walked out quickly alone to greet him.

After a while, he saw Yin Yuan come back angrily, threw the holy decree in his hand on the table, and scolded: "It's ridiculous, how can I do it?" ”

Yun Meng wondered, so he asked, "Brother calmed his anger first, didn't he go out to receive the order, why did he get so angry?" ”

Yin Yuan sighed lightly and replied, "Don't blame the virtuous brother, it's only because of this holy decree that the anger is rising for a while. Then he picked up the holy decree on the table and handed it to Yun Meng, who read the holy decree silently. The holy decree said that the northern Fu clan did not comply with the etiquette law, and took advantage of the period of our national mourning to raise troops to invade our border and harass the people of Shouchun.

On the other hand, Yin Yuan said: "The imperial court has long made it clear that all military and political affairs belonging to the Northern Expedition should be in charge of the general of Zhengxi, and now the Fu clan has committed me, not to mobilize Jingzhou's elite soldiers nearby, but to let me command the Northern Expedition of the troops and horses of the headquarters, and I have just taken over the post of General Pingnan, and I have not yet been to Yangzhou to take up my post, and the army has not been rectified due to the influence of Du Shuo's case. Brother Xian, do you think this decree is confusing? ”

Yun Meng knew in his heart that this might be related to Huan Yuan again, but he still comforted Yin Yuan and said: "Brother, after all, it is difficult to disobey the Holy Ming, and it is a big crime to disobey the order, and my brother must not fall into the hands of others!" For today's plan, the elder brother can use the excuse to state things to the imperial court, put forward more conditions, and let the imperial court mobilize more soldiers and horses, grain and grass and baggage from all over the country, so that it is possible to win. At the same time, the elder brother can also use this to strengthen his strength, and perhaps turn the current situation between the DPRK and China. I don't know if the little brother has talked about the point. ”

Yin Yuan felt that the spiritual platform suddenly opened, and laughed: "Oh, it's still a virtuous brother with great wisdom, such a win-win strategy is really too good." If this is really the case, no matter how arrogant General Huan is, he will not dare to cross the bottom line easily. ”

In fact, Yun Meng was also selfish in doing this, he didn't want to see Yin Yuan being calculated step by step by Huan Yuan, and more importantly, he didn't want Huan Yuan to go further and further.

After Yun Meng said goodbye, Yin Yuan drafted a recital overnight. On the second day, he took the fold and went to the palace of the king of Huiji to ask for a meeting. At this time, the king of Huiji was discussing this with a mysterious person with a black veil, and suddenly an inner servant reported outside the door, saying that Yin Yuan was asking to see outside. Sima Yu was startled, and his eyes looked at the mysterious person, as if he was asking about this person. The mystery man didn't speak, just nodded, then turned and hid behind the screen.

King Huiji comprehended, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Chuan Yin Yuan." The chamberlain received the order, and after a while, Yin Yuan walked in and bowed to the king.

King Huiji asked, "Haoyuan is not at home to recuperate, is there anything wrong with coming to King Lone?" ”

Yin Yuan was surprised: "Doesn't Your Highness know about the holy decree that the imperial court gave to Wei Chen yesterday?" ”

King Huiji coughed a few times and said, "Really? The lonely king has been infected with the wind and cold in the past few days, and he has not asked about the affairs of the court. I don't know what the will of Haoyuan is? ”

Yin Yuan was strange in his heart, and said in his heart, "King Huiji usually cares most about the government and politics, why is he so abnormal today?" But he didn't show it, but told the king of Huiji the gist of the holy decree. After listening to this, King Huiji had the same expression as usual, and asked: "Since the Holy Lord intends to be commanded by Haoyuan to resist the enemy, it is enough to show the trust of the Son of Heaven, Haoyuan must grasp it well, and the Lone King is also waiting for Haoyuan's triumphant news." ”

Yin Yuan was even more puzzled when he heard the words of King Huiji, and said in his heart: "How many soldiers and horses do I have in my hands, how capable I am, Your Highness, you are clear, and the difference between this style of acting now is too big compared to the past." ”

Yin Yuan arched his hand again and said: "Your Highness, since the imperial court trusts Yin Yuan, Yin Yuan should serve himself, even if he has his liver and brains. However, Yangzhou has a shortage of soldiers and horses, and there is a shortage of grain, grass, and ordnance, so it may be disadvantageous if it goes out to war in a hurry. Therefore, the minister hoped that the imperial court could mobilize soldiers and horses from many places, and then send special personnel to be responsible for the supply of grain, grass and baggage. ”

King Huiji squinted, as if he was listening to Yin Yuan's statement, but in fact, he was thinking about another big thing in his heart, and he didn't listen to it at all.

Yin Yuan continued: "Wechen has written a chapter, and now although His Royal Highness and Huan Yuan are jointly adjutant, His Royal Highness is the emperor's uncle, and he has a wide range of connections in the court, and he responds to every call, and the ministers are even more to His Highness's horse head, although Huan Yuan holds the military power and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, after all, he is still a minister, and His Royal Highness advocates that he cannot deny it, so he also asks His Highness to be the master of Weichen." ”

After Yin Yuan's impassioned statement, he raised his eyes to look at King Huiji again, but saw that King Huiji was still squinting, leaning on the dragon chair, and not saying a word. Yin Yuan raised his voice and said word by word: "Your Highness, please call the shots." ”

King Huiji let out an "ah", his eyes suddenly opened, looked at Yin Yuan, seemed to have just come back, and said, "Be in charge?" Call the shots! That's right, Haoyuan will leave the twists and turns, and the lone king will have to think about this matter again. ”

Yin Yuan observed his words and said, "King Huiji's behavior is so abnormal, there must be something strange in this, I will know when I try it." ”

Yin Yuan bowed to King Huiji again, and King Huiji asked, "Is there anything else to do with Haoyuan?" ”

Yin Yuan replied: "Your Highness, the minister has recently obtained another important clue about Du Shuo's case. ”

King Huiji smiled: "Isn't the Du Shuo case already decided?" Where are there any clues, is Haoyuan making some fuss. ”

Yin Yuan said: "If the Du Shuo case is just to verify whether Du Shuo's corruption is true, it can indeed be closed." But His Royal Highness should understand in his heart, why the stolen money in the Du Shuo case is still missing, where does a large amount of stolen money go, who is the person behind Du Shuo, and what are the intentions of this gang, etc.? These are still puzzles. If you delve into this case, Your Highness, do you say that this can be called closed? ”

King Huiji's face changed, he suddenly came to his senses, sat up straight, and hurriedly asked: "Haoyuan, what do you mean, you have mastered the ......" Before King Huiji finished speaking, he heard a "snap" behind the screen behind King Huiji, similar to the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

King Huiji stopped talking for a moment, was silent for a moment, and then covered up: "These days, somehow, there are many more cats in the palace. By the way, Yin Qing's first priority now is to get out of the way, as long as the evidence in the old case is not lost, it will not be too late to investigate it after Yin Qing returns to the court. ”

Yin Yuan is so smart that he knows that there are people behind the screen, and most of the abnormalities of today's Huiji King are also related to this. He didn't say anything more, handed the fold to the queen of Huiji, and retired.

After Yin Yuan left, King Huiji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, leaned back in the chair and let out a sigh. At this time, the mysterious man also slowly paced out from behind the screen, and when King Huiji saw it, he quickly got up and walked to the mysterious man, and said: "Why are you so careless, if it weren't for this king's improvisation, Yin Yuan would have seen through it." ”

The mysterious man turned his face, looked at King Huiji coldly, and said, "Is there something Your Highness really wants to know?" ”

King Huiji was taken aback by the mysterious man's cold eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency has misunderstood this king, this king is just curious, nothing else, nothing else." ”

The mysterious man said: "If it's just curiosity, I just advise Your Highness not to think about finding me from Yin Yuan, let alone to threaten me with this." There are some things that His Highness doesn't know, but it's better. Since you and I have joined forces, it is important to trust each other, otherwise some things are beyond my control, and the outcome will be unpredictable. ”

When King Huiji heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Although your Excellency can rest assured that this king is a person, your Excellency should know that after so many years, this king will never do anything treacherous. ”

The mysterious man immediately turned his anger into laughter, bowed to the king of Huiji, and said: "In a hurry just now, I made a mistake in my words, and I messed up the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." But in the next piece of sincerity, it's all for the sake of His Highness's plans. ”

King Huiji held the mysterious man with both hands and said: "Your Excellency, how can this king not know that the loyal ministers around King Xian since ancient times are not outspoken, and only faint kings like flattering traitors. ”

The mysterious man said: "Your Highness can understand the hard work of the minister, and the minister is deeply grateful. ”

Then the mysterious man picked up Yin Yuan's fold and looked at it a few times. He asked King Huiji, "What does Your Highness think of Yin Yuan's recital?" ”

The king replied, "The king has no idea about this matter, and he wants to hear your opinion." ”

The mysterious man sneered: "What you want to do is to get all the things that Yin Yuan played, and then put a high black veil on him, so that he can go out of the Northern Expedition in a beautiful manner." ”

King Huiji was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Did this king hear it wrong?" Did Your Excellency just say that you will grant all the things that Yin Yuan asked? The mystery man nodded slightly.

King Huiji still couldn't understand, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, but his eyes were rolling from side to side. The mysterious man asked, "Does Your Highness have any doubts about this, and want to ask me why I am arranged?" ”

The king replied, "If you can, please make it clear to you." ”

The mysterious man sneered: "Yin Yuan did this, just to take this opportunity to confront me, this person is talented, I also appreciate it very much, but unfortunately if such a person can't be used by me, I must not let him become a roadblock for us." ”

King Huiji asked again: "What Your Excellency said is yes, King Gu also thinks that since he wants to suppress Yin Yuan and find an opportunity to dismiss him, why do you have to go to such great lengths?" ”

The mysterious man laughed loudly: "There is a cloud in the art of war, 'attacking the heart is the first', and His Highness will experience the truth." As he spoke, he tightened the black veil on his face, bowed his head and left the palace quickly. Only the king of Huiji was left standing on the spot suspiciously.
