"Around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, there was a batch of unidentified goods near Luoyang under the Tongji Canal, taking the waterway, southeast, suspected to flow to Jiangnan——"

"At that time, Zhou Yi was in Luoyang to intercept grain and put it into the warehouse!"

"Do you suspect that Zhou Yi intercepted the grain and sent it to Jiangnan?" Li Yan groaned.

"Yes!" Yan Songyun said, "The number of Jingzhao's granaries also differs, and the ministers have investigated several times, but they are only slightly blocked; And yesterday the crown prince who wanted to transfer grain from Luoyang Hanjiacang just issued an order, early this morning, rumors against the minister have spread, and the minister suspects that the problem lies in Hanjiacang! ”

"Earlier, the minister has asked people to investigate the bulk freight near the major granaries last autumn, and what can be connected with Hanjiacang is this shipping from Henan to Jiangnan!"

Li Yan lowered his eyes carefully.

Yan Songyun's speculation is not unreasonable.

But what is the use of Zhou Yi intercepting grain and sending it to Jiangnan?

Who has the ability to receive such a large amount of grain? Where is it used after receiving it?

If it is said that the emperor used it to train troops privately, the troops in Jiangnan were inevitably far away, and Jiangnan also had a granary, and an edict could not be adjusted.

"Maybe I didn't get to Jiangnan, and I unloaded it halfway." Li Yan said.

"You can continue to investigate along both sides of the Tongji Canal!" Yan Songyun said.

Li Yan looked at him thoughtfully.

Yan Songyun bowed uprightly and said: "Today's matter has already been planned by the other party, although now the eldest princess has personally clarified to His Majesty that she is not her own uncle and nephew, and it is only a crime of indecency, the other party can still seize the impeachment and attack of private morality, the minister does not hesitate to his own body, but he can't even affect His Royal Highness and the Marquis of Chi, why don't you take this opportunity to release the minister to Jiangnan, so as to secretly investigate the flow of grain in Hanjiacang!" ”

After that, looking at the prince, I unconsciously felt a little nervous.

Li Yan looked at him quietly for a long time and nodded.

Yan Songyun exhaled slowly, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes could not hide his joy.

"After Chihou stepped down from Wu County, although Jiangnan has no major troubles, it is inevitable that it will be loose, so it's okay if you go." Although Li Yan didn't know why he suddenly wanted to go to Jiangnan, the reasons given were indeed sufficient.

"The minister will live up to His Highness's expectations." Yan Songyun bowed with a straight face.

Li Yan nodded and let him go down.

Regarding Yan Songyun's place and position, he still has to consider.

Yan Songyun withdrew from the Lizheng Hall, turned around, and ran towards the palace gate with a swift pace.

Although there were many accidents today, the results were not bad.

Didn't she want to go back to Jiangnan? Now I can accompany her back to Jiangnan!

Yan Songyun smiled unconsciously.

I don't have to look at that girl's face anymore!

I don't know if I have been wronged today, so let's tell her the good news earlier!

As soon as Yan Songyun came out of the palace gate, he instructed the entourage guarding the door: "Go to Sinong Temple to take a leave-" paused, feeling that it didn't seem appropriate, and changed his words, "Go home and talk to the eldest girl, let her stay at home, don't worry about the outside affairs, I have good news when I go back——"

"Yan Shaoqing!" A man from the side ran over and interrupted him.

Yan Songyun was about to frown, but recognized it as the servant of the Chi family.

"Yan Shaoqing, the crown princess ordered the slave to tell each other, Miss Yan has left Beijing alone-"

……

After Yan Songyun left, Li Yan summoned officials from the Ministry of Officials to inquire about the vacancies in Jiangnan, and after agreeing on Yan Songyun's whereabouts and the person who replaced Yan Songyun, it was already time to close the office.

One by one, the ministers retired.

Li Yan also stood up, changed into regular clothes, walked out of the main hall, stepped up, and walked to Taiji Palace.

The Chengjia Hall of Taiji Palace was originally the place where the noble concubine and her daughter Princess Shangluo lived.

After the death of Concubine Gao, only Princess Shangluo lived here.

Stopping in front of the hall, Li Yan looked up at the door of the palace, which was still gorgeous and majestic, but it seemed to be covered with a layer of ash, and it was no longer glorious in the past.

The door of the temple was originally closed, but when the maid guarding the door stepped forward to salute, the door of the temple happened to open.

Surrounded by maids were two plain-clothed women, each holding a boy in their hands, the two boys were not much different in age, and their appearance was six or seven points similar, and it could be seen that they were brothers.

When the plain-clothed woman at the head saw Li Yan, she didn't look frightened or nervous, she just walked forward with ordinary steps, her tone and expression were indifferent, and she didn't say a word except for shouting "His Royal Highness the Prince".

Li Yan only nodded with her, glanced at the boy beside her again, and walked straight to the hall, as for the other woman and boy, they didn't even look at it.

The two boys were Li Zhen, the eldest son of Wei, and Li Sheng, the second son of Mu.

They must have come to visit Princess Shangluo.

With his relationship with King Zhao, there is really nothing to greet with King Zhao's family.

When I stepped over the threshold of the Chengjia Palace, I felt that my ears suddenly fell silent.

The sunlight shines through the window, reflecting the dusk of the hall.

Beams of light cut through the gaps in the window lattices, slicing the space into pieces.

In the beams of light, fine dust flew, bright but barren.

A palace maid walked in through the back door and greeted her quickly.

Walking all the way, I was cut beyond recognition by the oblique beam.

"His Royal Highness the Prince-" The palace maid arrived in front of her before she returned to her normal appearance, "The princess has just met Princess Zhao and others, and she is already tired, Your Highness, please go back!" ”

Li Yan was not surprised, and said lightly: "The princess is about to be filial, are you willing to marry Zhou Yi?" ”

……

"Even if I die, I won't marry him." When Princess Shangluo said this, she didn't have any gritted teeth and hatred, and her eyes were as lonely as ashes.

"You don't have to die," Li Yan said, "It's easy for a princess to refuse to marry." ”

"Father won't allow it." Princess Shangluo suddenly burst into tears.

As early as a year ago, she proposed to her father to dissolve the marriage contract, but it was rejected.

Zhou Yi forced her mother to death and framed her brother, but her father turned a blind eye to such an obvious thing.

But how could she marry the enemy?

"Gu Yun." Li Yan said.

Princess Shangluo looked at him in a daze.

"Zhou Yi's slander has passed," Li Yan said, "The identity of the colt has given him a lot of convenience, and if you nod your head, you will depose him as a colt." ”

"How to depose?" Princess Shangluo was skeptical.

"Serving the princess is not good." Li Yan said lightly.

The princess is the king, the horse is the minister, and you can give up it with just an excuse, even easier than a folk man to divorce his wife.

As long as there is the support of the emperor.

Although there is no support from the emperor now, it is the same with his support.

Princess Shangluo has been in close contact with filial piety for nearly a year, and she doesn't know much about the situation outside, and she doesn't believe the prince's words: "Is it really possible?" ”

Li Yan didn't bother to persuade her, but said: "It's okay to try." ”

Princess Shangluo finally nodded.

When sending the prince away, she couldn't help asking: "Zhou Yi clearly hates the revenge of killing his wife back then, why does his father still want to keep him by his side?" ”

Li Yan said: "Zhou Yi is Your Majesty, but he is just an ant, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

"You don't think it's worth mentioning?" Princess Shangluo asked, "We all know that Zhou Yi hates his father, and you just watch it?" ”

Li Yan was silent for a moment and said, "He doesn't dare." ”

Zhou Yi dared to force the noble concubine to death and framed King Zhao, but he did not dare to make a move against the emperor who really ordered the killing.

Because, he also has a younger sister.
