The letter was written by Yang Jixiang.

But there are also the words of Commander Liu in it.

Zhao Ping'an read the letter three times, sighed lightly, and slowly leaned back on the chair.

"Jingzhong, are you okay?" A-Ying couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

She was born as a secret guard, and her rules are self-evident, she only executes orders and doesn't ask. But now that she has been cultivated by Zhao Ping'an as a confidant, she will naturally pay more attention to the mood of her princess.

"Just look at it." Zhao Ping'an didn't bother to speak, and handed the letter directly to A-Ying. Because of trust, we don't shy away from it.

Shunning Pass was victorious, and Mu Yuan asked Bican Lotus's third brother to write a fold at the first time, and it was rushed to Beijing for 800 miles. So Mu Yao hasn't entered Beijing yet, and the capital has already become a pot of porridge.

As she expected, the court was still divided into three factions.

One faction is the main battle faction led by Yang Jixiang and Commander Liu, and there are also courtier factions with conscience and ambition. Faced with a big victory that they have not won in decades, they naturally rejoiced.

The other faction is a bunch of lords and ministers mainly with Su Yi as the mainstay. Instead of joy and desire for victory, they fell into apprehension. Because he felt that this would inevitably lead to the revenge of Great Xia, it was Mu Yuan who was young and vigorous and stabbed the hornet's nest.

In their opinion, it's just a reward for the Great Xia barbarians every year, isn't it normal to spend money for stability and peace? Disturbing the border and slaughtering people is only an isolated phenomenon, isn't there still a defender? If the soldiers are idle, then what does the imperial court spend so much silver every year to raise that group of martial artists? Besides, the current Dajiang is far less powerful than Daxia, and if he can't bear it for a while, he may cause even more trouble.

Yang Jixiang couldn't help but sarcastically say in the letter: Anyway, the money and grain are not the treasury that they have earned so hard to hand over, and the suffering of the people in the border towns will not befall them anyway. It's not that you are in pain, just cover up the past and whitewash the peace.

The third group, the one who sees the wind and steers the rudder, is even more hateful. Because they don't have a point of view at all, it's just that they oppose what others approve of, and they all agree with what others oppose. In the spirit of fishing in troubled waters, whichever side is advantageous will be favored. It's like two people fighting for a cow, and they're the kind of people who squat down and try to milk the cows.

It was Mu Dingzhi, the original bull, who couldn't express his position this time.

He was supposed to be a conservative, but unfortunately it was his son who presided over the victory of Shunning Pass, and it was his son who played it. His other son, Hanasaburo, a young man in the literary world, was also deeply involved in this matter. If he doesn't say anything now, some people will doubt his intentions, let alone stand in line, no, it's the team leader.

However, Mu Yao made it clear in the compromise: The Great Xia Kingdom is a wolf that cannot be fed, and if you tolerate it everywhere, it will allow them to gain an inch.

It is precisely this sentence that makes the opposition and doubts in the court strong, but it will not evolve into the impeachment of Mu Yuan for being reckless or asking for direct accountability. In addition, Mu Dingzhi is sitting here after all, others don't know what he really thinks in his heart, so he doesn't dare to go too far, and the result is to maintain a strange balance.

But this balance is very fragile and can break at any time.

Of course, there are also people who attack Zhao Ping'an and leave Beijing privately, and put a big hat on her, saying that she is suspected of harming the country.

But Mu Yuanyuan had an early opportunity, and personally testified that he had made a private plan with the eldest princess, and did not announce it to the public in order to prevent the leakage of secrets. That is to say, the great victory of Shunning Pass has a credit from the eldest princess, a great credit. As a woman, she is still a princess, but she still knows that for the country and the people, she would rather be misunderstood, if the courtiers hold on to it, is it embarrassing?

In fact, many people want to take the opportunity to bite to death, at least to bite Zhao Ping'an, but they can't find a place to put their mouths for a while, so they can only put it down temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to pick bones in the eggs in the future.

"According to his subordinates' humble opinion, as long as the imperial court does not order General Mu to immediately withdraw his troops and return to Beijing, he will have no major incident." After reading the letter, A-Ying frowned and said, "It's the princess, they can't do anything about this time for a while, but they will hold back the bad, and sooner or later they will think of other ways to deal with us." ”

Speaking of which, only women in the whirlpool of government and politics can deeply understand the persecution and suppression of women by those conservative and corrupt old ministers. Therefore, A-Ying is worried about Zhao Ping'an. Because conservative ministers cannot allow women to show their edge in national affairs, which will contrast them even more incompetently. If there is such a woman who takes the lead, they will definitely spare no effort to suppress it.

Even if this person is a golden branch and jade leaf. There had been an empress in the previous dynasty, which had already scared their hearts.

"Then it depends on whether Hua San will do anything after entering Beijing this time." Zhao Ping'an shrugged, "He wrote it, and he was sent back to Tokyo City by me, so he will definitely be questioned, and he will become the center of everyone's struggle." It is said that he is useless and is a scholar, but this time, it really depends on his ability to fight the Confucianism. ”

"Isn't the princess worried?" A-Ying asked.

"It's been done, and it's useless to worry about it. It's a big deal to go back to Beijing and do it again, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, rest assured. Zhao Ping'an's expression was relaxed, but he quickly frowned again, "I'm only worried about that guy Hua San, he may not be as dangerous as he is along the way." ”

"In addition to the guards, didn't the princess also send our people to protect him secretly?" A-Ying stepped forward with a smile and poured a bowl of tea for Zhao Ping'an, "As long as he doesn't get out of the moth, it's no problem to enter the capital with his life." As long as he arrives in Tokyo, he will rush at his father and his second brother, who dares to break ground on his head. ”

"I'm afraid I'm afraid that he will be a moth." Zhao Ping'an drank tea helplessly.

At the same time, the person she was worried about was depressed from the main road to the small road, heading straight for Tokyo City.

"The third boy, the carriage is gone, are you okay with your feet?" Wildflower caught up from behind and said, "Horse, of course we have." However, this mountain road is difficult to walk, and you have to climb this mountain to get to the bottom of the river and find the post station. ”

"Nonsense, am I not walking? Have you ever fallen behind half a step? Mu Yao said angrily.

I'm mad at him! I'm so angry with him!

On this trip back to Beijing, the first half of the trip was fine, but the day before yesterday, he felt that something was wrong. It was a feeling, not really what I had discovered. Called this kid like a flower dog to investigate, he also said that he was suspicious, and he found out the slightest clue after a long time.

The result? The robbers were encountered in the middle of the night.

The world is peaceful, where are the bandits coming from? What's more, Yeli Huahua and his party are playing under the banner of the Xiang Army. The robbers in Dajiang even dared to rob the officials and soldiers, how could he not know about this?

The most important point: they don't have anything to rob.
