Chapter 25 (2nd Update)
Ye Lanying was convinced by the last sentence of the store, and felt that she was too worried, there are many families in the world, there are those who rose when Taizu established the dynasty, and there are also those who withdrew from the historical stage after Taizu established the dynasty.
It doesn't have to be a member of the royal family, a family of four in their thirties, and it won't be the prince himself.
The prince is very young, but he is weak.
Now the prince has issued seven orders, and because of these seven orders, all parts of the country are flying to the capital like snowflakes. It is said that the prince was busy and anxious, and just after the news came, he couldn't stand the illness and collapsed.
Everything in the DPRK and China was handed over to Ahn Jae-suk.
An Shuli is even the same age as the prince, just the official worships Zaifu and assists the prince's director, how can he get out of the capital? There is no one available in the court, if he goes out of the capital, who does the prince count on?
Therefore, it may be that someone from a family has something urgent at home and is in a hurry overnight.
Ye Lanying thought for a while, then left the family of four and continued to lie back on the bed to sleep.
And when she lay down and continued to sleep, Yun Xuan had already ordered someone to ride a fast horse and go to Zhaoyuan County with Yun Chi's will.
After returning to Zhaoyuan County, he had a pile of official affairs on hand, and he was afraid that he would miss useful news in the past few days, so he was dealing with the affairs piled up on the desk day and night.
One of the Phoenix guards quietly entered the Zhaoyuan County Shoufu in the middle of the night and half a day later.
Mei Shuyan only slept late yesterday night, got up early and sorted out his official business, and he has not found anything wrong with him leaving Beijing in the past few days, and the staff of the East Palace to replace him are very dedicated, and everything is taken care of in an orderly manner, but he is too worried.
He thought, since nothing happened, it was time to let the staff of the East Palace go back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was employing people, and he couldn't tie people to continue to help in Zhaoyuan County.
He put down his pen, stood up, and was about to call for the staff to come, when he saw the door open and close silently, and a man was already standing before him.
This person was dressed in black, like a ghost, and suddenly appeared, he was startled, and just about to shout, the man took out the token of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Mei Shuyan suddenly closed her open mouth, suppressed her frightened heartbeat, looked at the person who came, arched her hand at the token, and asked, "But the messenger of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
The person who came nodded and said in an ordinary voice, "Lord Mei listens to the order, Ye Lanying, the adopted daughter of the King of Lingnan, secretly hid crossbow arrows and weapons through the caravan cloth business, a total of twenty carts. His Royal Highness has an order, these twenty carts of crossbow arrows must pass through Zhaoyuan County, and Lord Mei will take people to detain Ye Lanying and report it to An Zaifu for thorough investigation and disposal. ”
Mei Shuyan was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "The minister obeys the order." ”
The person came and said, "Ye Lanying's caravan should arrive in two or three days, Master Mei should prepare early!" His Royal Highness has an order, the woman seems to be very smart, and she is very favored by the King of Lingnan, Lord Mei should be cautious and do not leak the news. ”
"Yes, the minister must be cautious." Mei Shuyan nodded.
The man handed a token to Mei Shuyan, "This is the Tiger Talisman, His Royal Highness also said that Lord Mei can use the Tiger Talisman to transfer the soldiers and horses of the capital to the capital, the capital is currently stable, and it is no problem to transfer some soldiers and horses to use it." In short, this matter must be done, and Ye Lanying must intercept it. ”
"Yes!" Mei Shuyan took the tiger talisman.
The person who came didn't say much, just like when he came, and left silently.
As he left, the door closed silently, and there was not a trace of wind or noise.
Mei Shuyan stood up, thinking that it seemed that he could not let the staff of the East Palace return to Beijing for the time being, this matter was very important, and he needed someone to negotiate a proper method.
When he found out about the Lingnan Royal Mansion a few years ago, although he did not dare to continue to examine it more deeply, he also basically understood the situation of the Lingnan Royal Mansion. This Ye Lanying is indeed extraordinary, although she is a woman, she is more favored by the Lingnan King than the sons of the Lingnan Palace, she is in charge of the business of the Lingnan Palace, but she didn't expect to personally lead the caravan this time.
However, in the files and customs clearance records of Zhaoyuan County, there is no record of her customs clearance.
It stands to reason that as long as it has happened, there are traces to be checked, whether it is from south to north, or from west to east, Zhaoyuan County because of its geographical location, extending in all directions, no matter which direction you go, take that road, you will inevitably pass through Zhaoyuan County.
And he has also been in Zhaoyuan County for more than half a year, which is not a short time, so long, I don't know when Ye Lanying passed to the north, and now it is obvious that this is a detour to Lingnan through Zhaoyuan County.
He felt that he had been careful enough, but there was still this mistake, I am afraid that there were internal ghosts in the county guard of Zhaoyuan County, and either they did not report the customs clearance record to him at all, or secretly eliminated Ye Lanying's record.
Perhaps, another point, she used fake documents.
The time of two or three days is urgent, and I am afraid it is not easy to find out the inner ghost, otherwise if one is not good, it will inevitably leak the news.
He pondered for a long time, and ordered someone to call the staff of the East Palace to discuss with him.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent this staff member, he is a very trustworthy person.
When this staff member heard this, he was also shocked, "His Royal Highness personally sent someone to inform the lord, intercepted Ye Lanying, and detained him, obviously to point the sword at the Lingnan Palace." The words fell, and he said, "Speaking of internal ghosts, I also think that there must be one, otherwise the adults will return to Beijing to run for filial piety, and they will secretly replace the adult directors, and the adults will also leave secretly, and only a few people know." But the adult was chased all the way out of Zhaoyuan County, and the other party was from the Lingnan Palace, obviously, it was the inner ghost who revealed the news of the adult's return to Beijing. Originally, I wanted to talk to the adults about this when they came back, but seeing that the adults were plunging into the dossier, I wanted to observe who was the inner ghost first, and then tell the adults, after all, the people who can follow the adults to contact important matters are close people that the adults trust. I didn't expect His Highness to send someone to deliver the news so quickly, the time is too short, and I have to arrange arrangements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the ghosts. ”
Mei Shuyan broke out in a cold sweat on her back when she heard this, "Could it be that there are internal ghosts among the people I brought from Mei Mansion?" ”
The staff "chuckled", looked at Mei Shuyan and said, "It's hard to say." ”
Mei Shuyan's face was gloomy, "Grandpa's death, so far I haven't found out who did it, although the Mei Mansion is different from the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, it is not unruly, and the ordinary food and clothing are also very cautious." The people behind him attacked Zhao Zaifu and his grandfather, and at the same time he also attacked Jingguo Gong, but what he did to Jing Guogong was the same heart-devouring Gu as the royal family, and Jing Guogong's life was good, and he was found out in advance. It can be seen that there are moles in every mansion. Maybe some of these people I've brought with me may be there. In that case, I really can't trust the people around me. ”
"This must not be lost again." The staff suggested, "Since Your Highness has given the Lord a Tiger Talisman, then, while you have time, it is better to take the Tiger Talisman and transfer the soldiers and horses of Jinglu!" Five hundred miles, one round trip every two days, it will definitely be feasible. There are 300,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu, and at least 50,000 must be transferred. Since the people around the adults don't dare to let the adults trust, it is better to hand over the tiger talisman to the next, and return to Beijing by the next loan, and bring the tiger talisman back quickly. ”
Mei Shuyan also felt that the staff's suggestion was feasible, and he had planned to let the staff return to Beijing, but now it happened that no one would arouse suspicion. He immediately nodded decisively, gave him the tiger talisman, and instructed, "Be careful on the road, after you leave, this official will not do anything first, as if you don't know about it, so as not to have the slightest movement, be noticed by others, let out the rumors, and wait for you to transfer troops back, kill Ye Lanying by surprise, and you can also make a big move to find out the inner ghost." ”
"Okay, let's get out of here." The staff picked up the tiger talisman, said no more, and turned to go out.
He pushed open the door, came to the courtyard at the door, walked two steps, turned around again, and bowed deeply to Mei Shuyan, who was standing at the door to see him out, bowed to the end, and said loudly, "My lord, say goodbye, Zhaoyuan County has heavy official duties, please take care of your body, Your Highness will rely on a lot of important people in the future, and your lord can't fall." ”
Mei Shuyan immediately gave up his hand, "I wish Gong to walk slowly all the way, although it is spring now, the weather is cold and cold, please take care." After returning to Beijing, I said to His Royal Highness for me, please also take care of your health, the lower officials heard that Your Royal Highness was sick, and they were also very anxious, please rest assured that Your Highness will guard Zhaoyuan County for Your Highness. ”
"Your Highness fell ill suddenly, and I was really anxious, and it was not possible to walk slowly, so I had to hurry back." The staff arched his hand again, "Take care, sir." ”
The two went back and forth, and after a clear word, they said goodbye openly.
Only the two of them understood in their hearts that the staff was going to transfer troops and would come back, but now they were just putting on a show.
The staff rode the fastest horse, left Zhaoyuan County, rode all the way, and rushed back to the capital.
No one suspected that he had a purpose to return to Beijing, and they all thought that he was a staff member from the East Palace, a person from the East Palace, and when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ill, he naturally hurried back to Beijing on a fast horse because he was worried about His Royal Highness the Prince's body.
Everything is going on in secret.
