Because of these two days of rest, Yuan Hong often came to the Yonghe Hall during the day.

After lunch, Yuan Hong was about to take a pillow at noon but saw Sanbao enter. Yuan Hong knew that the Three Treasures knew his habits of eating and living, and he would not come at this time if it was not for urgent matters. After Yuan Hong got up and sat down, Sanbao approached and whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhonglang will ask to see him, and now he is waiting in the imperial study, and the slave asks His Majesty to give instructions, but the slave must order him to come to the Yonghe Hall to see him?" ”

Waving his hand, Yuan Hong said: "I don't want to disturb Zhaoyi's afternoon pillow, you are dressed for me." ”

When Yuan Hong entered the imperial study, Yu Lin Zhonglang hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Yuan Hong.

After Yuan Hong signaled to get up, and seeing Yuan Hong sitting down in the banquet, Jiang Yinqi said: "The minister disturbed Your Majesty's lunch pillow, Your Majesty forgives your sins." ”

Yuan Hong said: "If it wasn't for something important, how would you come to see me at this time?" There is no one else here, but it doesn't hurt you to say it. ”

All the attendants in the room have retreated, leaving only the three treasures on one side to cook tea for the two.

Jiang Yinqi lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the person who was sent to worm has returned to Beijing." ”

Seeing that Yuan Hong didn't say anything, Jiang Yinqi raised his head slightly and glanced at Yuan Hong carefully, and then continued: "In order not to make people suspicious, the minister only sent a few brothers who knew worm language to go to the Northern Desert. ”

Yuan Hong bowed slightly, signaling Jiang Yinqi to continue to explain what he knew. After receiving the emperor's instructions, Jiang Yinqi continued: "Those creeping veterans are all controlled by a man who is a Mu Su slave, and his people are very angry, and it is said that Nagai Khan also respects him for three points. ”

"The veterans of the Mu Su slave were all captured by the Worm Army, most of them were barbarians from the Western Regions, and they were either killed or sold into slavery, but this Mu Su slave took those fierce people under his command and ordered them to serve them by the system of hiring."

Between the words, Jiang Yinqi glanced at Yuan Hong again, and saw that his face was suspicious, so he continued to explain: "The brothers got this news and passed the book to the ministers, and the ministers ordered the brothers to disguise themselves as merchants to find the wooden slave, but when they heard that they were sending troops to the Great Wei, they refused to do it, regardless of the brothers' many small gold, they were not allowed, and the brothers were afraid that they would be suspicious and did not dare to stay longer, so they returned to Beijing day and night to resume their lives. ”

When Yuan Hong heard this, he tightened his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Nagai Khan and his nephew Doulun Khan fought a few years ago, and both were injured. ”

Jiang Yinqi nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" There are not many elite soldiers and good generals left under the Khan of Gai, and even if they do that great rebellion, they are powerless to peek into an inch of our Great Wei territory. The minister thought about it carefully, those outlaws were Mu Qinu's subordinates, and they should return to the Northern Desert Lair if they succeeded, and after the Changyi incident that day, they fled to Qi just to confuse the public, so as to speculate that the hired people should not be from the Qi country..."

It's that Jiang Yinqi doesn't make it, Yuan Hong has already made this judgment in his heart, this monarch-killing thug is neither from the worm nor employed by Nanqi, then the answer is obvious.

Sanbao approached, carefully served tea to Yuan Hong, retreated to the side and stood with his head bowed.

Looking at the tea cups on several cases, Yuan Hong said to Jiang Yinqi: "Although it is not uncommon for the dynasties to kill the king and seize the throne, I never expected that I would have such a thing. I have always had doubts in my heart, and now that Xiao Zhaoye of Nanqi has first ascended to the great treasure, and the hearts of the court are not stable, how can he assassinate me at this time? According to what you have just said, it will be the people of my royal family who want to take my life. ”

Turning his head to the three treasures, Yuan Hong said, "Xuan Ren City King came to see me." ”

Because of the day of rest, it was not the right time for Yuancheng, the king of the city, to enter the palace after receiving the emperor's edict.

Seeing that Yuan Hong's face was solemn and he was about to sit down, Yuan Cheng said carefully: "Let Your Majesty wait for a long time, the minister is guilty, I don't know what Your Majesty has to call the ministers to come and order?" ”

After Yuan Hong's signal, Jiang Yinqi told Yuan Cheng what he had said. After Jiang Yinqi finished speaking, Yuan Cheng fell silent, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

Sanbao served tea to Yuan Cheng again, and when he saw Yuan Hong waving his hand, Sanbao understood himself, put the tea stove and water on top of several cases, and then withdrew softly.

The tea on top of several cases has been hot and warm, and Yuan Cheng just opened his mouth: "During the Warring States Period, the merchant surnamed Ji entered Qin to help the filial piety and carry out the reform, and the household registration, laws, military lords, taxes, land, weights and measures, and even folk customs and customs of the Qin people, although they pushed the Qin State to the list of powerful countries, they were resented because of their suppression of the old nobles..."

Yuan Cheng's words stopped at this point, Yuan Hong knew what he meant, the merchant was killed because of the reform, Yuan Cheng used this metaphor, that is, he had already said that the murderer of the monarch should come from the people who opposed Yuan Hong's Han Revolution and moved south.

Yuan Hong Zhengse said: "Qin Xiao's public businessman changed the law, changed customs, and the people were prosperous and accumulated more than enough, which made Qin Ke invincible in the world and achieved Qin's hegemony." Although Pingcheng is a dragon land, the tax is more than Heluo, if I want to unify the world, the cost of the country will be huge, and it will depend on the power of the country. The Han people in the whole world are the people, if the Han Revolution is not carried out, the Han people will rebel in other days, and how can we talk about long-term peace and stability? ”

Yuan Cheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty's thoughts and worries are all for the country, and the Han Revolution is imperative, and it is urgent to do so." Before the minister went to Luoyang, he made an appointment to meet with the heads of the eight tribes, and the three of them, the King of Mormon, the King of Shanyang, and the Marquis of Chengming, praised His Majesty's move to the capital during the banquet, and these three people were also the first of the eight to move to Luoyang. ”

Looking at Yuan Hong, Yuan Cheng continued: "Last month, the Marquis of Zhong, the Marquis of Yinshan and the King of Nanping moved in one after another, and they either sent their children to the palace of Princess Pengcheng and the Commander of the Horse to study, or invited the famous men of the Han family to enter the house to give lectures to their children, according to His Majesty's will, those under the age of thirty are now almost no longer speaking Xianbei words..."

Yuan Hong said: "Then according to Uncle Huang's opinion, who are those outlaws hired for?" ”

Yuan Cheng said: "Among the eight departments and ten surnames that are still left in Pingcheng are the Changming King Bexi, the Qiubei Wang Suxi Clan, the Guli Wang Dugu Clan and the Yannan Hou Weichi Clan, among which the Changming King and the Qiubei King are very old, and nearly half of the young and strong people in their clans have moved to the land of Heluo... Although King Gu Li and Marquis Yan Nan did not agree with His Majesty's move to the south, they treated His Majesty with the heart of submission... The minister is stupid..."

Yuan Hong knew that although Yuan Cheng was loyal to him, but the patriarch of the eight departments and ten surnames had been friends with him for many years, and Yuan Cheng must not want to hurt each other's harmony because of speculation. Yuan Hong lowered his head and played with the tea cup, and said: "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, if I die and pass away, who can dominate the world?" ”

Yuan Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ministers don't dare." ”

Yuan Hong raised his head and said: "I know that you and I are the three of you and the minister, and the imperial uncle does not need to scruples." ”

Yuan Cheng heard Yuan Hong's words, bowed his head slightly, and said carefully: "The crown prince is the prince of Great Wei, and he should be succeeded by the prince." ”

Seeing Yuan Hong get up and leave the table, Yuan Cheng also hurriedly got up and stood side by side with Jiang Yinqi.

While pacing slowly, Yuan Hong said: "The crown prince has not yet opened the regent of the mansion at that time, if I really encounter an accident, even if there is an imperial uncle and the second brother to assist the government, it is inevitable that the court will not cause trouble. ”

After a pause, Yuan Hong continued: "People who are not deeply involved in the world are most afraid of people who are close to them on weekdays..."

Suddenly, Yuan Hong instructed Jiang Yinqi: "Go and check, who did the prince see when he worshipped his ancestors in Pingcheng..."
