Xue Dongchang strode in front of the meteor, leading the gray-clothed man with a cold face to go around the corridor, and it took a long time to arrive at the quiet courtyard on the east road of the prince's mansion, passing through an arched moon gate, and continuing to stride the meteor straight to the winding path, along the way did not forget to check whether the secret guards were sticking to their posts.

In front of a row of three rooms, Xue Dongchang stopped, took the lead in entering the hall, and erected a row of picture screens in front of the door to report, and only then did he wave to the man in gray, and the two entered together, Xue Dongchang saw that on the official hat chair set up in front of the treasure shelf, there was a man wearing a white fox sitting steadily.

The man's thin face, his complexion was slightly gray, and he seemed to be dyed with a heavy body, but when he sat there, his eyes were calm and calm, but people couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, looking at Dalong, except for the Son of Heaven and the Third Prince, no one had made Xue Dongchang subconsciously want to bend down, and at a glance, the man looked at it at only twenty-five or six, but if he looked closely, his eyebrows were solemn, and his gentle temperament seemed to be a little inconsistent.

If you are not born noble, how can you form such a prestige in time?

Commander Xue was still stupidly suspicious, but the man in gray stepped forward with an arrow, kneeling on his knees and bowing down: "The grass people see the Prime Minister." It was a little choked.

Xue Dongchang was completely stunned on the spot - the living dead Miao Shimo would even show such emotion? Minister of State? Could it be......

The third prince smiled at Xue Dongchang's demon, and then bowed his head at Xue Guoxiang, who was also puzzled: "He is Dongchang, and the brother of the prime minister is now being transferred to another place by me, and I am afraid that we will not be able to see each other this time." ”

This is the legendary cousin who is wise and close to the demon and is extremely trusted by the king of Xiliang? Dongchang can't even blink an eye, it's already over, how can you see it?

"Why are you stunned, Dongchang, haven't seen your cousin yet?" The third prince was very embarrassed by Mu Ne, who was close to his subordinates.

On the contrary, the "family" did not feel sorry for the stupidity of the nephew, and suddenly got up, even half a head taller than Xue Dongchang, and became more and more bone-shaped, Xue Guoxiang gently patted his nephew's shoulder, Xue Commander almost didn't fall down, and was shocked, and quickly adjusted his breath to stand firmly, and then he realized that the cousin who looked weak as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind was actually a martial artist, and he was obviously a master of internal strength.

This time I was in awe.

The state minister didn't talk to Xue Dongchang much, but looked at Miao Shimo, who was still kneeling on the ground with red eyes, and looked indifferent: "I heard Your Highness say that you have found the clansman who framed your father and ancestor in the first place?" ”

"Yes, the wicked will eventually have evil retribution, the first evil that killed my father and ancestor has been eliminated by Dalong Gaozu, but the accomplices are still surviving, I know that they are too many to die...... Thanks to His Royal Highness, with clues, he really turned Miao Hong's father and son out. ”

"You are as hot as fire, I was originally worried that you would not be able to hold back after finding a mortal enemy because of hatred, and ruined His Highness's plan, but fortunately, His Highness said that you can forbear, and you have been very useful over the years, you can help Your Highness, I should thank you." Xue Guoxiang took a step forward before helping Miao Shimo up.

The seven-foot man couldn't help but burst into tears: "How dare the grass people be a thank you, they were just naïve children, their parents and ancestors were killed, and they fled to Xiliang with their mothers and aunts because of the clansmen's struggle for power. Entrusted by the Minister of State, let the grass people help His Royal Highness, and the grass people are afraid of negligence, and they have the grace of saving the lives of the Prime Minister. ”

"Your Highness just told me that when the time comes, you will definitely help you avenge your father's ancestors, and the remnants of the Miao family will definitely die." After Xue Guoxiang said this, he comforted Miao Shimo a few more words, and let him go out with Xue Dongchang first.

The third prince has been holding a plain mutton fat jade pot in his hand, as if to warm and like a play, until there are only two people left in this hall, he tilted the spout of the pot, poured out a cup of Wujin's tea, made a "please" gesture, and waited for Xue Guo to sit side by side across the case, and the corners of his lips smiled: "When I was ten years old, I told the cause of the death of the prime minister's mother, and the country believed it, and I didn't even ask me where I knew, I have never been able to understand." ”

"Your Royal Highness should have heard and witnessed, the princess had the quality of early wisdom back then, when chatting, the memory of the two years old is still there, I was skeptical, and then I understood the princess's ability to pass away, so I believe, in fact, Princess Jinyuan's memory is far stronger than ordinary people, when she was three years old, I enlightened, two days can memorize a thousand words backwards." Xue Guoxiang's expression was still as light as a cloud, and there was no emotion in his eyes: "Your Highness, but you witnessed the princess being killed?" Wei Chen thought about it, the princess must not have wanted Her Royal Highness to be as precocious as she was. ”

The prime minister suddenly remembered that back then, the girl was as beautiful as a flower, and threw the long sword he had forced in his hand to the ground, and was coquettish with a negative anger: "I don't want to practice martial arts, my father and mother don't force it, why is Brother Yaotai forced?" I have countless soldiers around me, can't they keep me safe? Don't force me to practice those extra moves, my piano skills are not good enough, Brother Yaotai might as well give me some advice. ”

He compromised and didn't insist, thinking that he could always protect her well, but he didn't know that she would marry far away from another country, and Dalong's East Palace couldn't let his own soldiers close to him, so he couldn't regret it, my Lanzhu, if you forced you to practice martial arts at that time, how could a mere servant woman harm your life?

The third prince lowered his eyes slightly, held the jade pot in his hand very steadily, and then filled the empty pot in front of him, and then said after a long while: "The minister of state had expected it, no wonder he believed it, when he returned to Xiliang, he sent Miao Shimo to Dalong to help me act, his poison technique can be called superb, but I don't want the queen to die silently, so easily." She should also taste the taste of being killed by her flesh and blood relatives under her nose, and she should also experience the feeling of being helpless knowing who the murderer is. ”

"Your Highness, what do you think about the prince of Chu?" Xue Guoxiang asked again.

"It's a pity that he is not a saint son, otherwise...... Maybe the minister doesn't believe it, but I have great respect for Yu Feng...... With him, it will be my help, and it is a coincidence, although I vaguely heard the Queen Mother say that Princess Chu died of poisoning, Yu Feng's frail childhood was also because of the poison in his body...... Until Shi Mo came to vote, I accidentally heard me talk about the chronic poison in the body of the princess of Chu but was not detected by the imperial doctor, and the poison of the prince could not be eradicated, and asked the princess about the symptoms of the year, I was curious for a while, and took the trouble to investigate, and found that the poison in the princess was passed down by the Miao family, so I thought that a concubine, how could she master the poison of the Miao family? ”

The third prince weimi's eyes were out of the corner: "I guessed that the concubine was just a sharp blade, and there was a culprit behind it, and then I checked the old files, and found that the third prince Xie had gone to Yungui to clean up the cult, and the Miao family was slaughtered by him with troops, so I suspected that Xie San hid the remnants of the Miao family, so I found out the remnants of the Miao family, and the grievances of the Chu Wangfu were not sorted out, and the culprit was Yu Dong." ”

"The prince is also aware of it?"

"Of course, if he is still ignorant at this time, I am afraid that he has already succeeded in Yu Dong's treacherous scheme, and he will not be able to eradicate the residual poison and recover his health, if he is not capable of influencing the society of the country, I will not have admiration for him...... Let's just say that the third master Xie is already to blame for himself, and the prince is still hanging on to him, Xu wants to avenge the grievances of Princess Chu and wipe out Yu Dong. The three princes suddenly had a cup of tea: "The king of Chu is loyal to his father, Yu Feng is not an insatiable person, if he can help, it is like a tiger with wings, since I know his talent, I have no intention of being an enemy with him, with his assistance, I will be able to create a prosperous era of peace and security, and protect Dalong at least three dynasties and Guotai." ”

Xue Guoxiang bowed: "In addition to the gold rebellion, the reform system, so that Dalong revival of the imperial examination, although it is also the emperor's wish, but if there is no prince to make a strategy, Dalong may also be rare to see the current situation, the prince has just reached the crown, there is such an ability, it is really terrifying, it is rare that he can be so bold, help the emperor to unify the power, you need to know that you are a courtier, a little greedy will inevitably have the idea of containing the monarchy, he can cultivate new forces for the Dalong Emperor and weaken the autocracy of the old nobles, it is indeed far-sighted, His Royal Highness knows people very accurately. ”

The third prince smiled again: "But Prime Minister, I have changed my original mind now, because by accident, I learned a very ironic thing......"

The third prince lowered his voice, and a light gradually flickered in his pupils.

And Xue Guoxiang's face was indifferent, and finally there was a fluctuation, and his eyebrows were raised: "Your Highness! You really ......"

The three princes bowed their heads heavily.

"That's why I asked Weichen to collect the evidence of Qinghejun's crime and submit it to Princess Jinyuan......" Xue Guoxiang seemed to mumble to himself, and his eyebrows gradually locked: "This path Your Highness has chosen...... It's really ...... But if there is an accident, there may be no place for it! ”

"I've made up my mind." The third prince was full of solemnity: "Is the minister of the state willing to help?" ”

Xue Guoxiang didn't respond for a long time this time, and the third prince was also sitting in danger and staring.

Finally, one person paused, and the corners of one lip were bewitching.

At the same time, in the state guesthouse, the Xiliang nobleman Qingyu Zhuan, that is, Yiyang Jun, was in a slightly remote courtyard, and his sister Leyang Nujun, who was a fellow mother, stared wide-eyed.

"This is not Xiliang, don't blame me for not reminding you, Hugh has to be at the mercy of you, and doing that self-defeating thing hurts the prestige of Xiliang Guowei." Yi Yangjun's eyes were cold, and he walked sideways in front of the female monarch.

Leyang painted the fashionable distant mountain eyebrows of the Dalong lady, the corners of her eyes were drawn very charming, and she also swept a faint fat red, which made her eyes more and more bright, but the corners of her delicate lips were full of sarcasm at this time: "At the mercy of you? Brother, I'm not a man, my mother is sick, you can't protect yourself, if I don't bow my head and listen to the mercy, I would have been married by my father to a good-for-nothing gentleman, not to mention my father, my mother's children can't tolerate me. ”

"Are you really in a hurry to be a concubine?" Yiyangjun didn't give an inch: "Leyang, I know that I couldn't take care of you in the past, and when the envoy returns to China this time, I will definitely be able to improve one or two, at least in your marriage, so that my father will not take care of it." ”

"I hate the Qing family, I hate it to the core." Leyang clenched the horsewhip tightly, undisguised his anger.

This made Yi Yang slightly stunned, he was used to seeing Leyang pretending to be well-behaved, how many years had he not seen such a stubborn straight face?

"I'm not going back." Leyang put away the sneer: "Don't worry, no matter how outstanding the prince of Chu is, he already has a wife, how can I be willing to be cheap?" Brother is still worried about yourself, if you don't fight for a marriage with Dalong dignitaries this time, your father has no choice but to force Your Majesty to compromise and pursue the alliance system of 'daughter-in-law and husband', how can you be worthy of the princess's kindness in fighting for you to be feudal? My husband I will choose by myself, you can rest assured, I will not do anything that hurts the prestige of the country, nor will I stand in your way, as long as the person I marry is not a minister of Dalong, there will be no benefit to my father, it is impossible for him to achieve what he wants to seize power through the power of Dalong, I also know this measure, I will not put you in a dilemma, I go out today, it is nothing more than to familiarize myself with the situation of future life. ”

Yiyangjun still hesitated, and Leyang insisted in a deep voice: "I have self-knowledge, and I can see that the prince of Chu is very scheming, and it is not easy to calculate, and my princess Xiliang was willing to live as a concubine with honor, and in the end she was also a fragrant jade, how noble is the son of the princess?" If you are in my Xiliang, you will be the crown prince! But in Dalong, that is, just a concubine, with the lesson of Princess Lanzhu in front of me, how dare I be delusional, but I really hate the Qing family, and I am disgusted with the fact that I carefully grovel and swallow humiliation every day, and in the end I still can't escape being used! Pushing me into a desperate situation, it's a big deal to ask for the princess's grace, just say that he understands my intentions, gives me death, causes accidental death or violent illness, and uses the maintenance of Xiliang Guowei to block the mouth of my father and brother, as long as you act according to the strategy of Xue Guoxiang, my father can only hope that you will conclude a Dalong magnatate, how can he care about my life and death? The princess's wish is fulfilled, and she may not be unwilling to help me pass away from now on, and the river and sea will spend the rest of my life. ”

These words finally moved Yiyangjun, his eyes were full of guilt, his expression softened, and he clenched Leyang's shoulders: "Silly girl, Dalong is strict with women's etiquette, how can you stand alone, I will help you, and the minister and princess will also help you...... You want to go out, Brother will accompany you, there have been Xue Guoxiang mentioned over the years, I know some things about the Dalong nobles, and I will choose a good marriage for you. ”

The two brothers and sisters went in and out of the city, walked around the city, and Yiyangjun explained the Dalong etiquette and customs endlessly along the way.

Coincidentally, on this day, Meng Gao, who rushed to Kyoto to take up his post due to the order of the Ministry of Rites, entered the Xuanwu Gate, so he leaned back and tiptoed and sneezed loudly, and suddenly felt a hot flashes rushing to the heavens.
