Wei Ming had no way to tell the prince all the truth directly, he could only use Cui Zhi's words to round it up.

"The minister had invested money in Wujingjiu before, and then Wujingzhuo cooperated with Xifeng Liquid, and the minister met Zuo Xun, the young owner of the Fujian Zuo family, who has been working for the Fujian Governor's Office, and Fujian lost a batch of firearms, and wanted to come to His Royal Highness to hear about it, Zuo Xun secretly visited the whereabouts of this batch of firearms in the name of doing wine business, and did not want to accidentally find tobacco, which passed through the hands of another person before it flowed into the Daolu Division."

The prince's eyes narrowed, "Who?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, this person's real name is unknown, only known as Mei Jiuye, and this Mei Jiuye is the person Zuo Xun has been searching for and took over that batch of firearms!"

When the prince heard this, his momentum sank, "In other words, the tobacco flowing into the Daolu Division is actually controlled by someone and deliberately behind it?!" ”

Wei Ming nodded, the prince was silent, and after a while, he asked Wei Ming to tell everything he knew, "The last time the court discussed this matter, it was the person who entered the Bamboo Academy, and you arranged it!" ”

In order to remind the emperor that it was difficult for him to come forward, Wei Ming arranged people through Ye Lanxiao, and the prince's eyes were bright and he saw it.

Wei Ming lowered his head, "At that time, the minister only faintly felt that it was inappropriate, and later Zuo Xun reported the news, only to find that there was indeed another promoter among them!" ”

"Then who is Mei Jiuye?"

Wei Ming had no direct evidence, he only told him everything he knew, and the prince naturally had the means to find someone to argue.

When Wei Ming finished speaking, the room was cold, involving King Xiang, who was the prince's own uncle. When there was no succession to the throne, they were all royal relatives, and they had no chance to take the throne, and there were still some ordinary people's family affection in it, but now it is a heavenly family, and King Xiang is a subject, and the so-called family affection has also dissipated in the world.

The prince is benevolent, but he is the prince in the end.

Wei Ming returned home and sighed slowly.

Cui Zhi is also very busy today, the capital is in crisis, she began to tighten the business in her hands, settle down and arrange, so as not to be caught by someone with a heart to take advantage of the loopholes, today adjusted the warehouse of wine storage in the capital, Wujing Brew has sold well in the capital over the years, and the stock is really a lot.

She loosened her shoulders and asked Wei Ming if she was tired, "I see that you are all stretched, don't you relax when you come home?" ”

She didn't remind him, Wei Ming hadn't noticed it yet, he loosened his shoulders when he heard this, and said, "The crown prince hasn't come back for a lifetime, but at my age, he has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility." Today, the prince is confused and chaotic, the prince can't be disobedient upward, and he has to be responsible downward, this burden is not heavy. ”

Wei Ming had reminded Jinshang through the discussion of the ministers before, but Jinshang was only happy at the moment, and the tobacco matter was not investigated to the end, Wei Ming had to turn to the prince to solve it, in other words, Jinshang has been controlled by tobacco, that is, it needs to be solved, but I am afraid that it will also drag on the bad thing.

These things all fell on the crown prince, but fortunately, the prince is the prince, and he is still the benevolent and responsible Ming Jun in Wei Ming's eyes.

Cui Zhi pinched his shoulder for him, "You have already done this step for the father and son of the Heavenly Family, don't think too much about it later." She asked him with a smile, squeezing his shoulder a few times, "Is this okay with me?" In the past, I also helped my master and sister pinch their arms and legs! ”

Master Wei pulled her forward, "You don't have to take care of me, take good care of yourself, I may have to be busy next, maybe I can't take care of you." ”

He reached out and pinched her arm, and when he saw her looking at him obediently, he couldn't help but take her into his arms.

No matter how hard and tired he is in this life, there is always someone to accompany him.

As Wei Ming said, his next days were indeed extremely busy, and every day he worked as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, but it became the most idle time, and after going down, Wei Ming usually went to the prince's private residence before he had time to go home.

King Xiang stretched out his hand so long, Wei Ming could detect it, and the crown prince quickly found out the evidence. For the first two days, the prince was still sad, but when he got to the back, there was no more turmoil in the prince's expression.

King Xiang's current situation is not optimistic, he secretly gathered a lot of soldiers, especially far away in Xiangyang, where there are many deep mountains, and the prince is trying to find out the strength of King Xiang as soon as possible. And Wei Ming learned from Zuo Xun that King Xiang had already mastered some firearms, and there was no shortage of large-scale long-range firearms to deal with the Japanese Invaders, although most of them may not have enough ammunition, but their strength should not be underestimated.

The court can't wait until King Xiang is ready and spontaneously rebels to suppress it, then it will be too late, and it must be solved first.

And except for the crown prince and Wei Ming, no one in the court knows about King Xiang's intention to rebel, once it is known by everyone, it means that King Xiang will get the news.

Therefore, it must be arranged secretly, so as to surprise and win or lose a game.

Wei Ming was busy day by day, and it wasn't until the snow fell in the sky that he realized that the wax moon was approaching.

Cui Zhi because of the canonization of the county lord, many times have not left Beijing, the current situation is unstable, the war is about to break out, it is not ruled out that King Xiang should cooperate with the outside at that time, and start turmoil in the capital.

Wei Ming urged Cui Zhi to return to his hometown, "Duke Yu, his old man has been looking forward to you for a long time, hurry up and go home for the New Year!" ”

"What about you?"

Wei Ming couldn't get out no matter what, he said it's okay, "I'm not in the state of fighting alone now, there is a prince above, and there is a bamboo courtyard to clear the party, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Cui Zhi knew that he always had a certain number in his heart, and tried his best to control the situation, but the situation was turbulent, people's hearts were turbulent, who knew who would suddenly change in the next second, everything was unknown.

But Cui Zhi can't help but go back, Yu Gong, Tian and Xiaoyi are also her closest people, and she can't take care of one or the other.

On the first day of the lunar month, Wei Ming sent Cui Zhi out of the city, this time because of Cui Zhi's identity as the county lord, he seriously transferred a team of people to follow, Wei Ming was not worried, just reminded her, "Wear more, always hold the hand stove, don't freeze." ”

After reminding him three or five times, he followed the car all the way to the city gate, and saw Cui Zhi sticking out his head to look back at him in the car window, so he had to turn around and leave.

And Cui Zhi watched him sitting alone on the horse in the carriage, and couldn't help but sour her nose, she suddenly remembered the poem, "Regret calling the husband to find the marquis." ”

......

Cui Zhi returned to Anqiu, and the New Year was approaching. Anqiu is still as calm as before, but the defense drills of the various guard posts and the large-scale sweep of the mountain bandits and bandits all remind that this stable year is shaking on the tip of the needle, and there may be only one thrust between maintaining peace and rioting.

At first, Cui Zhi could still receive letters from Master Wei from time to time, and sometimes there was no shortage of verbal ridicule, but in the back, the fewer the letters came, and the fewer and fewer words on them.

What Cui Zhi can sense, Yu Gong will not be without induction, as soon as the New Year passes, his old man suddenly proposed to go to the Anton Health Center.
