"Oh? There is such a thing. Mu Zhengyi raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yilan, who seemed to be a little surprised, but he didn't ask, but reached out and picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, looking like he was going to have a long talk with Gu Yilan.

"I don't hide it from the eldest prince," Gu Yilan still looked straightforward and frank: "I didn't directly refuse her, but I didn't respond either."

"It's not strange." Gu Yilan's attitude was frank, so Mu Zhengyi didn't beat around the bush: "I thought Miss Nine didn't want to take care of such a nossy matter."

"Why Mrs. Thorn Shi is looking for you, I know in my heart. This time, nearly 300 bandits were captured, more than 100 truckloads of materials were seized, so many people, so many finances, it can be seen that this group of bandits did not cause trouble at the foot of Tiantong Mountain for a day or two, and I don't know how many people suffered. Allowing the bandits to plague the people of Li, this Chunzhou Mansion Yin and the assassin Shi are to blame. ”

"From the point of view of the eldest prince, these two people will be questioned for this?" Gu Yilan asked.

"Probably not." Mu Zhengyi shook his head and mentioned very vaguely: "Their plea is to be spent, but whether the emperor will ask for guilt or not is not mainly based on the plea and self-defense of these two people." King Yi personally asked for the suppression of bandits, and after this incident, King Yi naturally wanted to write a recital to play His Majesty. ”

Gu Yilan immediately nodded in understanding. She understood that Mu Zhengyi was reminding her that Chunzhou Thorn Shi and Fu Yin had already found a way to follow the path of King Yi.

"In that case," she said after a moment's thought, "I intend to assassinate Mrs. Shi."

"Miss Nine can do it herself." Mu Zhengyi smiled and did not make any comments on this. He didn't seem to think that Gu Yilan was a girl in the back house who had not left the cabinet, so there was anything wrong with casually stabbing Mrs. Shi without the consent of the elders.

"I should only help to ventilate my grandfather," Gu Yilan added: "What my grandfather thinks has nothing to do with me, and I can't promise them anything on behalf of my grandfather."

"Hmm." Mu Zhengyi nodded and replied very bluntly: "Chunzhou Assassin Shi shouldn't expect you to promise anything."

"There is one thing, I think I should inform the eldest prince," Gu Yilan said again: "Chunzhou Mansion Yin is a student of Lin Xiang, it should not be a secret in the court at this time, the eldest prince is a border general, I don't know if you know about this matter, but Grandpa Guo should also be clear."

"I really don't know," Mu Zhengyi shook his head, "But our Anguo Mansion has always not interfered in the affairs of the court, unless it is related to northern affairs."

"I know," Gu Yilan nodded, looking serious: "Chunzhou Mansion Yin has been in office for several years, a dignified and four-grade official, and has experience in performing duties outside Beijing, among Lin Xiang's many protégés, he is also extremely outstanding." Therefore, I think that even if he doesn't follow the path of King Yi this time, Lin Xiang will not be able to watch him fall under his eyes, and he must protect it. It is rare to find a protégé with such an excellent resume, and Lin Xiang is reluctant to give it up, and he will definitely be reused in the future. ”

"This is what Chunzhou Thorn Shi revealed to you through his wife?" Mu Zhengyi asked. This is his subconscious judgment.

Because it stands to reason that Gu Yilan, a girl who is only sixteen years old, how can she pay attention to the situation between the DPRK and China during the day. Moreover, even if she wanted to care about the situation, the only source of information she could access was the conversation between the elders of the family, or when she attended a banquet in Beijing, she heard others talking about related topics.

Mu Zhengyi believes that Gu Yilan obviously has no chance to know all kinds of information related to him in Beijing, so he can only guess that it was Chunzhou Assassin who conveyed this information to Gu Yilan through his wife's mouth.

Regarding Mu Zhengyi's conjecture, Gu Yilan acquiesced. She couldn't explain it, saying that the information was because she was reborn, and she knew through the memories of her previous life that this Chunzhou Mansion Yin He Wenmao was Lin Xiang's confidant, and Lin Xiang put him in the position of Chunzhou Mansion Yin for a few years, in order to find an opportunity to transfer him to Jingzhong and put him in the position of the household department.

These are all things that she knew through Zheng Chongjing's group of strategists after she got married in her previous life. She knew that Lin Xiang, a person with a strong desire for power, did not give up his attempt to influence the government even if he returned to his hometown, and he had a very fine layout for his own political forces before begging for bones.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiang told the old man that the power in the DPRK and China is treacherous and complex, but it also indirectly achieves a strange balance, no matter who the emperor chooses as the first and auxiliary prime minister, the balance will be completely broken, so the emperor has been indecisive for a long time, and the position of the first and auxiliary prime minister has been vacant for several years.

But Gu Yilan couldn't tell Mu Zhengyi about all this, she could only acquiesce in Mu Zhengyi's conjecture and admit that her source was Mrs. Chunzhou Thorn Shi.

"That's why Chunzhou Thorn Shi is in a hurry, after all, there is Lin Xiang standing behind Fu Yin, and he will be fine no matter what." Gu Yilan acquiesced, but she didn't intend to answer Mu Zhengyi's question directly, but continued to talk about the topic.

"But I'm here to say that. As the eldest prince said before, the court situation has nothing to do with your Anguo Mansion, and the Mu family is not involved in party disputes. I'm waiting here, just to remind the eldest prince that Lin Xiang has been in poor health all these years, and he may have already thought about begging bones. My grandfather said that Lin Xiangquan is extremely powerful, and if he wants to beg for bones, he must carefully lay out his own party. If this is the case, this Chunzhou assassin is afraid that he will return to Beijing soon. ”

"The affairs of the government and politics have nothing to do with the Anguo Mansion, but Lin Xiang has always been in charge of the household department, if he returns to his hometown, he naturally wants to replace his own pro-party in the most important position. I remember that my grandfather gossiped with my grandmother at home and said that although this Sun Shangshu has been under Lin Xiang for many years and is quite trusted by Lin, Sun Shangshu is not Lin Xiang's protégé, but is on the same list as Zhongshu Ling Wang. ”

Mu Zhengyi understood Gu Yilan's words. This girl was telling her in a roundabout way that the current Hubu Sun Shangshu may be in an unstable position. And if the head of the household department is replaced, it is likely to be replaced by Yin He Wenmao, who is good at deceiving superiors and subordinates, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and inviting credit.

Originally, the situation between the DPRK and China and the partisan disputes had little to do with their Anguo Mansion, but who was the secretary of the military department and who was the secretary of the household department, these two things were still very important to their surname Mu.

If Tobe Shangshu Zhen is replaced by Yin He Wenmao, the sleek and sophisticated Chunzhou Governor, then their northern border may face an even more difficult situation in the future.
