Xiahou was startled, hurriedly walked to the courtyard, jumped to the top of the ancient cypress branches, swayed, from the gap between the two mountains, from a distance to see a few miles away on the official road on the black press, dusty, only to see the three armies before the high teeth, unhurried, towards the north calmly forward.

"Who is it?" Qing Ruyun leaned in front of the pane and asked with her head half-tilted.

"The person we guessed earlier." Xiahou Wuyu jumped down and replied calmly.

"Hmm."

Qing Ruyun didn't show much surprise, as if she already knew the answer.

As Xiahou Wuyu expected, Xiahou Liangye really sent Wei He to escort him east to Yangzhou to retrieve the seal, and then go north to the Qingzhou fiefdom.

It's just that he didn't expect that his own brother couldn't even wait for the New Year, and it was the cold winter of Layue to send his henchmen to leave Wenrou Township, so that Wei He and Yiluan Si and everyone took their children to warm up and perform the task, which shows that the official edict of the imperial power is very important in the cool night of Xiahou.

It was precisely because he guessed Xiahou Liangye's attention to the appointed seal that Xiahou Wuyu could boldly gamble that the leader of the troops was Wei He.

Wei He was born in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was involved in the Casting and Printing Bureau, and was in charge of the casting of the emperor's three treasures, so Wei He went to Yangzhou to identify the authenticity of the appointed seal, which was in line with Xiahou Liangye's mind, and Wei Hewei was loyal to the new emperor, so he would naturally recommend himself as an escort officer.

And Xiahou Wuyu has another plan in his heart - in addition to Wei He, looking at the generals of the Beichen Army, Xiahou Liangye will not rest assured that the heavy responsibility of escorting the king of Qingzhou will be entrusted to any of them.

Looking at the whole plan, on the question of how to infiltrate Nanrong, Xiahou Wuyu did not spend too much thought. For him, infiltrating Nam Rong is the easiest part of the process. What's more, before leaving Beichen, there is one person who must be disposed of, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

This person is none other than Wei He.

Now, with Wei He leading the troops, it is really an excellent opportunity to get rid of this cancer in the court.

Wei He, who was originally a lowly domestic slave in the old lady's mansion by the father of the first queen of Beichen, was born intelligent, and was articulate and clever when he was young, which won the favor of the old lady.

At that time, the country was in ruins, especially for poor students, Wei He was able to get rid of the status of a domestic slave under the care of the old lady, and was admitted to the Guozijian to study, and later was selected as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the national imperial examination, and began to accumulate contacts.

Later, there was a vacancy in the household department, and the department in charge of the country's financial measurement was so important, and the Manchu Dynasty could not find a suitable candidate. This position has been pending for a long time, which is really a headache for Emperor Beichen.

Finally, Mrs. Meng remembered that there was a very smart child who had assisted the cashier of the treasury in his house in the past, patted his head, and suddenly remembered that this child was the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wei He, and recommended it to Emperor Beichen, and the emperor was very happy.

Hearing this, Qing Ruyun asked, "It sounds like Wei He's character ability is not so bad?" ”

Xiahou Wuyu said: "Wei He's ability has always been there, whether it is in the Ministry of Rites or in the Ministry of Households, he is very popular, and even the hearts of the people are not indispensable, you must know that the people's hearts are not only from the means that can be encompassed, he is indeed a rare talent, but he later ......"

Qing Ruyun said: "It's just that he later became the prime minister, and his mind changed, he was too lazy to bother with government affairs, and indulged in wanton accumulation, and only used some means to buy people's hearts to consolidate his position, right?" ”

Xiahou Wuyu nodded, shook his head again, and said: "He can achieve the position of prime minister, know how to read words and feelings, and win people's hearts, which is inevitable, and my father may not have taken it to heart in his eyes, and the beating of him is not unique to the past two years." ”

Qing Ruyun asked: "But I heard that recently, in the Beichen Dynasty, whether it is under the rule of the crown prince or even in the Yanwei Unity Party, there are many people who are dissatisfied with it, and it has also caused a lot of discussion among the people. If, as you say, such things have always happened? Then why didn't Emperor Beichen remove him early? ”

Xiahou Wuyu smiled and said, "You are in Nanrong, and you know everything about my Beichen. ”

Qing Ruyun snorted and said in her heart: What do you know? I'm not just staying in Nanrong.

Xiahou Wuyu continued: "At first, he did his best for the country, and it was nothing to collect some private wealth, and often his father had no intention of saying it, so he just understood it in his heart. But in the past two years, Wei He has used the power of the prime minister, and relied on the cronies he cultivated when he was in charge of the imperial examination in the past in the Ministry of Rites, and gradually monopolized the right to salt, medicinal materials and tea. ”

"I see!" Qing Ruyun suddenly said, "Because he is out of control." ”

At the end, he asked, "But his submissive appearance in front of your brother doesn't seem to have the intention of usurping the throne?" ”

Xiahou Wuyu said: "Some people can become kings, and some people can only be called ministers." Wei He's forces are only in the financial power and the new science and scholars, and they are not involved in military generals. Where the soul of the Beichen Army is, such as the Pingxi Military Department, such as the Zhennan Fengen Military Department, such as the troops led by Chi Jian, not to mention my mother's Bei'an Hou Mengshi, the Wei family has never been able to infiltrate. In contrast, relying on a prince, it is the most convenient and convenient to reach out to the inner court. ”

Qing Ruyun said: "Therefore, Wei He poisoned and assassinated your mother, just to facilitate the placement of people in it, so that he could poison and control your father." No, no, he's just one of them, and the real person behind the scenes should be, it's ......"

She stopped abruptly and didn't say anything.

Xiahou Wuyu already knew in his heart that the person behind the scenes, even the person who was not soft on his biological mother, was Xiahou Liangye.

Qing Ruyun said: "That day, the East China Sea should listen to him continue, who is this grievance attributed to?" To untie the bell, you must also tie the bell, knowing who Emperor Beichen mistakenly killed that day caused him to be so resentful, and it is better to untie this knot in the future, otherwise, you will give in everywhere, and he will be forced inch by inch, trapped in a resentment that does not know the root, and there will be no result. ”

Xiahou Wuyu said: "Liang Ye was born in Beichen, grew up in Nanrong, experienced a lot of hardships and injustices, his father and mother have always felt deeply guilty about him, but after he returned to the court, he only showed his withdrawn side and never communicated with others. Later, we all felt that maybe he would get better on his own. ”

Qing Ruyun was silent, speaking of this, she more or less felt a sense of sympathy for Xiahou Liangye. For many people who seem to be withdrawn and perverse, it is not that they are unwilling to open their hearts, but that speaking out only adds to the troubles of others, and there is no comfort in their own hearts. What's more, maybe if you say it, others will blame yourself for being unreasonable and stubborn.

But I heard the sound of horses' hooves, some people dismounted in front of the ancient temple, and after a while, I saw Zhou Zhen lead a group of Yiluan guards into the hospital, and respectfully asked the king of Qingzhou to set off for Yangzhou.
