It turned out that Ling Han was concerned about a question of initiative, whoever took the initiative would have to give in relatively more, as for whether Ling Han deliberately wanted to suppress Emperor Qin in his own heart, well, it is also debatable.

In short, Ling Han's idea was hit, and there was nothing to say about public or private, so Gu Fengxun didn't interfere in this matter anymore, he was more concerned about whether Fan Jiujin could verify whether the Tao family's daughter was the contact between Princess Yongning and Tao Huaping, if it could be verified, Tao Huaping would be finished, and Ling Han would probably have to be angry and sad again.

Fan Jiujin moved quickly, and within a few days, there was definite news, and the daughter of the Tao family really came back. Not only did she come back at that time, but now the daughter of the Tao family, whose name is Tao Wanru, is also a guest at her parents' house, and it is said that she only returned to her mother's house a few days ago.

When Ling Han received the reward, he sneered on the spot. Tao Huaping had never mentioned the matter of reconciling with Qin and marrying Qin before, as soon as his daughter returned to her parents' house, he had this idea, and this again and again was too much of a coincidence. Turning his head, he instructed the old servant to give up staring at Tao Huaping, and instead stared at Tao Wanru.

This staring, sure enough, stared at the result, the old servant pulled out a maid beside Tao Wanru, and did not disturb the Tao family, but took advantage of the night to faint and carried away, directly threw it into Fengyitai, and handed it over to Luo Feng's hands.

The maid's mouth was extremely hard, but she didn't carry Luo Feng's methods in the end, and within two days, the results of the interrogation came out.

is similar to speculation, the military defense map is indeed Tao Huaping did steal the copy, and then handed it to Princess Yongning through his daughter's hand, this time Tao Huaping proposed to marry Qin in the palace, which is also the meaning of Princess Yongning, as for the purpose of Princess Yongning, it is naturally not something that a maid can know. However, Luo Feng still noticed that this maid was a dead soldier, and the traces of training on her body were the same as the girl Lin Canglang who assassinated Ling Han in the first place, that is to say, behind this maid and Lin Canglang was the same master, that is, Princess Yongning.

The result of the interrogation made Ling Han silent for a long time, the "Xijing February Red" tragedy was related to Princess Yongning, the assassination of Emperor Cheng was related to Princess Yongning, and his own assassination was also related to Princess Yongning.

Why?

"Some women's hearts are like needles at the bottom of the sea, you will never understand where their love comes from and where their hate comes from, Your Majesty doesn't have to dwell on this matter, if you really don't understand, just hand over the matter to Fan Jiujin, let him think of catching Princess Yongning back from Chu State, and naturally he can solve his doubts."

Gu Fengxun comforted from the side, he quite understood Ling Han's feelings, just as he had never understood why Ji Yuren would choose to take revenge on him in such a way. People live to make their lives better, but women like them would rather use extreme methods to ruin themselves and others. However, when it comes to being vicious, Ji Yuren is still a big step behind Princess Yongning. Compared with it, Mrs. Yue Guo and Princess Han are extremely cute and respectable.

Ling Han wiped his face, cheered up, shook his head and said: "Xizhen Fusi should not be underestimated, for a princess of Yongning, it is not worth taking such a big risk, let alone sacrificing my Fengyi secret guard, if you want to capture her back......" The corners of his mouth tilted in, revealing a touch of ruthlessness, "Wait for me to recover the Chu State, and see where she escapes." ”

Gu Fengxun looked at him in a daze for a moment, and his expression slowly showed a little appreciation, Ling Han in the past, as the Emperor of Western Chu, seemed too lenient, and at this moment, he had the ruthlessness and decisiveness that an emperor should have, and he had ambition for the whole world. At this time, he said that the recovery of the Chu State was no longer to realize the wish of his ancestors, but in his heart, he finally had a clear goal for the recovery of the Chu State, even if this goal was only to capture Princess Yongning.

Seeing Gu Fengxun showing such a look, the ruthless look on Ling Han's face quickly faded, he turned his head, a little embarrassed, and after a long while, he turned around and said, "Before...... Did I make Gu Qing very dissatisfied? ”

Gu Fengxun taught the kind of ambitious emperor of the Qin Emperor, in addition to the fact that the Qin Emperor himself had great ambitions, it was also because Gu Fengxun deliberately cultivated him in this direction, in comparison, Ling Han, the emperor, was really gentle and harmless.

This question made Gu Fengxun laugh dumbly, and said for a while: "No, no matter when, the minister will ...... to Your Majesty Couldn't be more satisfied. "And, more and more satisfied.

Ling Han's eyes lit up, but the roots of his ears quietly turned red.

The disappearance of the maid made Tao Wanru very panicked, after searching for a day to no avail, she said goodbye to Tao Huaping without hesitation, and took someone to Huxian overnight, but when the talent went out of the city, it was intercepted by Fan Jiujin and Fengyi's secret guards, and Tao Wanru was secretly imprisoned in Fengyitai, and the other entourages were all wiped out.

After Tao Huaping said goodbye to his daughter, he closed the door in the mansion until Ling Han sent someone to announce his entry into the palace, only to be found that he had died in the study, and he committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, leaving no words.

I didn't expect Tao Huaping to die so cleanly, Ling Han was unexpected, but he still gave him a little dignity, did not announce his crimes, and let him be buried in style. However, who will take over the vacant position of Zongzheng Siqing has become a big problem.

There is no one in the Western Chu clan, and the only one who can reach the side is the King of Jin, but the King of Jin is too young, and Zongzheng Siqing is also in charge of some palace affairs, so it is absolutely impossible for the King of Jin to interfere.

However, at the moment, Ling Han didn't have time to bother with this matter, so he simply issued a holy decree and pushed Gu Fengxun to the position of Zongzheng Siqing, of course, in order to reduce criticism, there was an additional word "generation" in front of him, Dai Zongzheng Siqing, the grade did not move, but the authority in his hand was much greater, after all, he was in charge of part of the palace affairs, especially the purchase of tribute, and the oil and water were very rich. Gu Fengxun collected so many people some time ago, and he was a person who was attracted by job vacancies, but he didn't have any money to use, but now that he had this piece to subsidize, he was naturally even more comfortable.

The DPRK naturally has objections to this, Gu Fengxun is not a clan, and he has not even been on the side of the clan, and the position of Zongzheng Siqing falls on his head, which is not justified and unconventional.

Ling Han didn't say anything polite to the courtiers, and sent the courtiers away with the sentence "I can trust my life, but Gu Qing has no him", this is not nonsense, Zongzheng Siqing is in charge of part of the palace affairs, and he doesn't trust people close to him, how can he take on this position.

The courtiers were so blocked that their hearts were stuffy, and then they thought about it, Gu Fengxun is now asking for people, money, and the emperor's holy family, and they have been placed in the Hanguang Hall by the emperor so far, and the original Gu Mansion has changed its surname to Su...... Well, some of the more perceptive people have already had some aftertaste, how can the people on the tip of the emperor's heart say that the name is not right, no wonder the emperor refuses to accept the harem.

It can be seen that it can be seen, but it can't be said, Tao Huaping is a lesson from the past, but he mentioned a sentence of "marriage with Qin" in the court, and he was lost a lot of face by the emperor on the spot, not to mention, even his life was lost in a few days, and his death was still unknown, what he knew was that he committed suicide in fear of crime, but Ling Han did not announce the real cause of Tao Huaping's death in addition to confessing to several important ministers, so most people who did not know it would inevitably speculate whether Tao Huaping's death was related to the emperor's taboo.

Another is that compared with the current situation in Western Chu, the replacement of Zongzheng Siqing is no longer a big deal, so the discussion of the courtiers did not even make a splash, so it was revealed. The emperor is happy, let him go, the future, later, let's talk about it, first solve the big problem at hand.

The big problem is that the border between the two Chu is in an emergency again, the Chu army has pressed the border for the second time, and has already fought a battle, and was beaten back by Xie Jinyan, and the Chu army failed to make a contribution, but Xie Jinyan's excerpt for money, food and armaments was sent to Xijing.

The problem is that the treasury of Western Chu is already stretched, and when the two levels were recovered before, they were already tightening their waists and abdomen, and now they have issued a conscription order, which is another large amount of military expenditure. At this time, I have to be glad that the emperor is not the queen, otherwise, I won't even be able to get the money for the wedding, what would it look like to be shabby.
