The rain was dripping down, not big, but it was annoying, the dripping water on the eaves fell non-stop, occasionally a gust of wind swept by, and the fine rain drifted into the room from the night outside the window, illuminated by the light of the lantern, quite a sense of dream, but Su Miao and Qinwen, who were sitting opposite each other, were not affected by everything around them at all, even the wine and food on the table in front of them could not distract them, and the two dignitaries of the court sat quietly opposite each other, like two wood carved Bodhisattvas, The atmosphere of silence permeated the hall of the bright hall into a strange atmosphere, and suddenly, a soft "creak" of the wooden door was heard, and the two senior officials of the court who were sitting still raised their eyelids at the same time, and each looked at the door intently, their eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.

"The little one has seen Qin Shangshu, Su Shilang." Wan Chongshan, dressed in green clothes, walked into the hall steadily, bowed, and respectfully greeted the two bigwigs of the DPRK and China.

Wan Chongshan is the person in charge of the "ringing", and his status is also one of the best figures in the Wei Palace, of course, compared with the two bigwigs here, he is a cut behind the boss, but he is not able to be humiliated at will, therefore, although Qin Wenwen did not speak, but he owed his body slightly to return the courtesy, but Su Miao did not have the slightest humble action, just frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation?" ”

"Back to Su Shilang, the situation has been ascertained as follows: early this morning, after Lu Chengqing, the head of the military department, received the urgent report from Xiangzhou, he was about to forward the submission to Zhuhuangmen, the end of the time, Zhuhuangmen entered the East Palace, and came out at the end of the time, during which the prince had transferred back to the palace from the East Palace, delayed for about half an hour, and then summoned Xiao Zhongshu to meet him, and the matter discussed was unknown; In addition, according to investigation, before the subordinates arrived, Liu Shizhong had already received the relevant news, suspected to be a member of the military department of the foreign lang Liu Shan, a certain subordinate did not have time to stop, Liu Shizhong had already arrived at Dali Temple, and Sun Fujia theory, during which Pei Hongxu instigated many parties, which intensified into a dispute, and now Liu Shizhong has been exempted from the authority of the DPRK and China by the prince in the name of the prison country, and is now furious in the house...... "Wan Chongshan heard Su Miao's question, and was busy getting all kinds of news one by one, and then chattered for a long time, But he didn't get to the point, which made Su Miao very dissatisfied, frowned, and raised his hand to stop Wan Chongshan's words.

"How is the case progressing now?" Su Miao glanced at Wan Chongshan dissatisfied, and asked impatiently.

Su Miao easily did not get angry, but once he was not satisfied, Wan Chongshan would have to go around without eating, therefore, at this time, when he saw Su Miao's face was not good, Wan Chongshan's tall and burly body trembled unconsciously, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Su Shilang's words, Dali Temple has been ordered by the East Palace to seal the relevant account books of the household department and Sinong Temple, and now we are arranging for personnel to investigate in detail, and the small one has sent someone to contact Liu Cheng himself, who was imprisoned in the cell of Dali Temple, according to what he said, this transfer letter is an official document sent on the first day of his arrival at the household department, Everything was drafted according to the official document forwarded by the Ministry of War, and there was no mistake, but he couldn't remember the granary number allocated on this official letter, and his subordinates thought that there might be something strange in this, and someone should have deliberately framed Liu Cheng. ”

"Hmm." Su Miao snorted noncommittally, groaned for a while, and then asked, "Who recommended Liu Cheng to enter the household department?" ”

Wan Chongshan bowed down and said: "Back to Su Shilang's words, according to investigation, it is the recommended copy of Lin Zhengcheng, a doctor of Taixue in the country, which was approved by Cui Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and forwarded to the East Palace for sealing. ”

"How is he?" Su Miao heard that it was Lin Zhengcheng's recommendation, and his heart suddenly chuckled, without him, this Lin Zhengcheng is Li Shimin's new favorite minister, from a slightly cold background, he is a figure from the imperial examination, he has served as a doctor of imperial history, and he was just transferred to the doctor of Taixue last year. Once the East Palace and the King of Yue merge, the life of the King of Wei and his family will not be easy, but they can't help but be surprised.

"What's going on at the end of the Yue Wangfu?" After being silent for a while, Su Miao asked suddenly.

"Everything is normal, and the subordinates didn't notice any movement on that head." Wan Chongshan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied.

"Strengthen surveillance, and in addition, send someone to investigate in detail who the prince went to see when he returned to the palace today, go down!" After frowning and pondering for a while, Su Miao waved his hand and pulled Wanzhong Mountain back, then looked at Qin Wen with a solemn face and said, "Brother Jingren (the character of Qin Wen), I'm afraid this matter is difficult to get right." ”

Qin Wenwen nodded silently, and did not open his mouth to answer, although the face was still bland, but the heart was boiling, full of sadness in his eyes - in the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, in the third rank or above the high position of the minister, only he Qin Wen and Liu Xun and Wei Zheng were born in a slight cold, now Wei Zheng is dead, Liu Xun has suffered a big disaster this time, even if he can barely pass the test, he has to remove the layer of skin if he does not die, as soon as he thinks of this, Qin Wen inevitably gives birth to the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, I faintly regret that I was involved in the competition between the princes at a young age some time ago, but it is a pity that now people have been deeply involved in it, and it is difficult to get out.

Su Miao obviously noticed Qin Wenwen's absent-mindedness, sighed secretly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jingren, this case seems to be small, but it involves a military aircraft, and it is involved with Liu Shizhong, it is not an idle person to look at it, Dali Temple's independent trial of this case is inconsistent with the law and reason, when the three divisions will be tried, what does Brother Jingren think?" ”

"Well, tomorrow morning, a certain self-proof will be." Qin Wenwen knew that Su Miao's intention was to intervene in the case, although he was not close to Liu Xun, but now he was standing in the same boat, if he could help him, Qin Wenwen would not be stingy with his actions, so he nodded and agreed.

"It's so good, there is Brother Lao Jingren." Su Miao saw that Qinwen was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to talk more about the possible hidden tricks behind this case, so he just arched his hand and said with a smile.

As soon as he heard Su Miao's words, he didn't want to stay longer, but just returned the salute and got up and said: "Brother Shen Xing, don't worry, I know what to do, it's not early, and I still have something, so I will leave and stay." ”

"Brother Jingren is bothered, let's go." Su Miao got up and sent the Qin text to the door of the hall, watched the Qin text go down the stairs, and then turned back to the hall, and did not sit down a few times, but walked to the window, stared at the rainy night sky, and thought silently, but Su Miao didn't be quiet for long, and after a while, the "creak" sound of the wooden door opening suddenly sounded again, and Wan Chongshan walked in with a strange face, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What?" Su Miao raised his eyebrows and asked flatly.

"Yu Su Shilang, my subordinates have found out who the prince saw when he returned to the palace." As soon as he heard Su Miao's question, the strange color on Wan Chongshan's face became a little thicker, and he replied a little hesitantly.

"Oh? Who is it? Su Miao was stunned when he saw Wanzhongshan behaving like this, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's a martial artist." Wan Chongshan told the riddle, and his face showed a look as if he had been re-released.

Su Miao was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a calm voice, "Huh?" Seriously? ”

"It shouldn't be true." Wan Chongshan nodded heavily and said: "At noon today, someone saw the prince dodging and going to the Yihe Palace, not long after, the martial arts people also went in disguise, and the two stayed in the palace for half an hour, but what they did is unknown, will it be ......" Wan Chongshan wanted to say whether the two would have an adulterous relationship, but after all, he didn't have the courage to say this, so he had to deal with it vaguely.

Su Miao doesn't care if the prince and the martial artist have an adulterous affair, there are too many dirty things in the palace around the palace, and no dynasty can avoid that set of miscellaneous and bad things, Su Miao is too lazy to pay attention to it, all he cares about is what these two adulterers and adulteresses are talking about, without him, when this big event is approaching, Su Miao doesn't believe that Li Zhi will have the leisure to cheat, and it is only right that he is discussing Liu Cheng's case, but Su Miao doesn't know much about such a low-level concubine as a martial artist. I really don't know what role Wu Meiniang plays in this, but after thinking about it, I suddenly realized that Wu Meiniang was Concubine Yan De's cousin, and my heart suddenly shook wildly, and then I thought of Lin Zhengcheng's sudden recommendation of Liu Cheng, the cold sweat on my head involuntarily surged out, her face turned pale, and a pair of originally stable hands trembled involuntarily.

"Master Su, are you alright?" Wan Chongshan didn't expect Su Miao's reaction to be so intense, and he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked.

"No, it's fine." Su Miao stretched out his big sleeves to wipe the sweat on his head, calmed down, and smiled to himself, then forced himself to press the waves in his chest, and said calmly: "Pass the order, keep an eye on the martial talents, and send more people to keep an eye on the Min'an Palace, once the martial talents go to the Min'an Palace, they will report immediately." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Wan Chongshan replied respectfully, and was about to retreat, but he stood still and asked tentatively, "My lord, do you need to move at the other end of the East Palace?" ”

Su Miao thought about it carefully, and at the end of the day, he shook his head and said, "Don't use it first, let's talk about it later, let's go." Seeing that Su Miao had already made a decision, Wan Chongshan didn't dare to say more, bowed his hand, turned around, and quietly withdrew from the hall.

"Alas......" As soon as Wan Chongshan withdrew, Su Miao sighed, turned around, leaned against the windowsill, frowned in a complicated and incomprehensible mood, looked at the night sky with a look of worry in his eyes, and the wrinkles on his forehead suddenly deepened......

In the study room of the Yue Wang's Mansion, Na Long, who was dressed in a blue single coat, sat in front of a few sons, his hands on the strings, swaying at will, a string of melodious music drifted with the wind, echoing into a beautiful scenery in the empty inner courtyard, even if the sound of wind and rain could not hide the elegant and unearthly atmosphere.

"Good piano, good music, Mr. Na is really leisurely." At the end of the song, Yan Da, dressed in black, appeared in the study at some point, clapped his hands, and said with a smile.

Nalong laughed, got up, made a gesture to sit down, and asked indifferently: "Is it all done?" ”

As soon as he talked about business, the smile on Yan Da's face immediately put away, and he arched his hand and said, "Mr. Hui's words, all preparations have been stopped." ”

"That's good, it's not too early, let's go rest." Na Long was confident in Yanda's ability, so he didn't ask for specific details, and nodded with a smile.

Yan Da did not retreat, but after a little hesitation, he still asked: "Mr. Na, there is something unclear about my subordinates, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

Na Long has been cooperating with Yanda for a long time, and he knows Yanda's temperament, and he is not dissatisfied with all the insistence of Yanda, he flicked his sleeves, smiled and gestured to please: "Oh? You have a lot of doubts, but it won't hurt. ”

Yan Da took a deep breath and said with a hint of excitement: "Sir, now that the King of Wei is about to counterattack, why do you have to order our princes not to participate in it, you must know that the King of Wei is powerful, and the East Palace may not be able to withstand it, if the crown prince is defeated, wouldn't it be all in vain for me to wait for the previous deployment?" ”

Na Long smiled silently, looked at Yan Da with interest for a long time, and then asked leisurely: "Is the prince's power weak?" Not necessarily, the eldest grandson's family has a lot of energy. ”

"This ......" Yan Da was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "But the eldest grandson Situ is now accompanying him on the expedition, and the Jingshi is afraid that there is nothing he can do." ”

"Yes, exactly." Na Long laughed, stroked the long beard on his chest, glanced at Yan Da with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "If Your Majesty really wants to support the crown prince, how can he take the eldest grandson Situ away with him, can he be a civil servant to kill the enemy or can he give advice?" Do you understand what that means? ”

Yanda thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "In this way, Your Majesty's intention is to make chaos in Beijing, but once this chaos arises, once the King of Wei takes advantage of the situation, I am afraid that we will inevitably suffer from the pond fish, but what should we do?" ”

Na Long laughed and said: "It's okay, since Your Majesty dares to act like this, he will make arrangements, I just need to light a fire, naturally there will be others who will fan the flames, just look at the excitement, you must prevent this fire from burning on your own head, hahaha......"

Na Long said it interestingly, and Yan Da couldn't help but laugh, and after being happy for a while, he asked cautiously: "Sir, how do you think King Wei will fight back?" ”

"What? Is this going to be a test? At this point, everything went well, and Naron was in a good mood, smiling and squeezing his beard.

"How dare you, how dare you, I can't figure it out, so I asked Mr." Yanda scratched his head embarrassedly.

Na Long smiled, and calmly analyzed: "Hehe, with the wisdom of Su Cheng, he may not be able to see where His Majesty's intentions are, even if there is no Liu Chengqi, I think he will provoke an incident and let the court fall into chaos, and now since there is such an opportunity, how can he easily let it go, according to a certain point of view, the court dispute is the first step, well, tomorrow morning, there must be a fighter in the court, the person fighting for is nothing more than the authority to try the case, but there is nothing to say, as for the second step, heh, I think Su Shilang will not be put on the prince's side, Completely muddying the water is the only way he can choose, but I am afraid that someone on the prince's side will be unlucky, but it is difficult to say who will hit Su Shilang's muzzle, as for the third, if all the efforts are ineffective, the imperial lawsuit will be fought, and it may not be possible to make the prince disgraced. ”

Yan Yan's big eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. means Wu ......"

"It's good to know in your heart, but you must be cautious about this matter and don't spread it." Na Long didn't give General Yan a chance to finish speaking, waved his hand, and said with a serious face.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Yan Dazi knew what was going on, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"That's it, it's not too early, go and rest, you'll have to be busy next." Na Long knew that Yan Da was not a random person, and after mentioning it, he didn't dwell on the matter anymore, but just waved his hand and asked Yan Da to retreat, but at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study, and then Liu Dequan's shrill voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. Na, Ye Ling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, sent an invitation, please give it to me." ”

"Oh?" Na Long was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, waved his hand at the wild goose, but walked slowly to the door of the study, and saw Liu Dequan, who was blocked by the two masters of the "wild goose group", bowed down, holding an invitation card in his hand, and was standing there with a complacent smile.

"There is Lao Liu's father-in-law." Na Long quietly took the post in Liu Dequan's hand, nodded, and said politely.

"Yes, yes, hehe, I don't know if Mr. is going to make an appointment, and a certain family can prepare to drive." Liu Dequan accompanied the smiling face and said with a babbling waist.

Since beating Li Zhen and leaving Beijing, Liu Dequan has often used various names for personal gain, although it is not a big mistake, but he is deeply disliked by Nalong, and he has already consulted Li Zhen, even if Li Zhendang gave a death order not to allow him to enter the inner study again, just considering that Liu Dequan was originally an old man beside Concubine Yan De, and he had been the head of the palace for many years, he turned a blind eye to follow Liu Dequan to be greedy for some small gains, but the matter related to the secrets of the palace was no longer allowed to interfere. At this time, when Liu Dequan asked about whether to go to the appointment or not, Na Long would not tell him clearly, but just smiled and said: "If the father-in-law is bothered, after a certain decision, someone will inform the father-in-law." ”

"Ah, that's good, that's good, hehe, sir, you're busy, a certain family will leave first." Liu Dequan saw that Na Long didn't know what to say, and he was a little bored, so he smiled and said, turned around and walked to the outer courtyard, but as soon as he turned the courtyard gate, he couldn't help but turn around and snort hatefully, and muttered all the way away.

"Sir." Yan Da saw that Na Long was always staring at the invitation card in his hand, but he didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't help but call out.

"Oh, it's fine." Na Long frowned quickly, threw the invitation card to a few people beside him, lowered his head, paced back and forth in the study, thought about it repeatedly for a long time in his heart, raised his head, and looked at Yan Dao: "It's good to accompany a certain person on a trip tomorrow evening, and I have heard the name of Ye Shilang for a long time, and it is good to see each other." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Yan Da didn't ask why this time, just answered cleanly, turned around and strode out of the study, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

Na Long looked at the back of Yan Da, slowly paced to a few children, picked up the invitation again, did not open it, just looked at the cover of the invitation, and fell into deep thought......
