Emperor Yaoguo quickly resumed silence after the second prince married the daughter of the Sima family, and on the tail of winter, the people who burned the brazier everywhere were a little popular, but in the general's mansion, the blazing brazier still couldn't drive away the invisible chill.

"A few days ago, the harem investigated a case, involving the most trusted father-in-law Ma in the East Palace, and Weichen felt that there was something strange in it, so he came to the house to inform him, and I don't know if he bothered Lord Yao." The treasurer in charge of the palace treasury stood at the table with a flattering smile on his face.

Yao Junxian waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is Lord Lao Deng to pay attention to things, and the old man should be grateful, how can I talk about it, I don't know what tangible news Lord Deng has today,"

A few years ago, Sima Yuan invited Yao Junxian into the General's Mansion to eat and live with him on the grounds of flattery, but he had nothing to say in private and it was all some secret topics, yes, and there were not many people in the General's Mansion, and the treasurer looked around to see if there was no one and lowered his body to Yao Junxian's ear: "Gonggong Ma took a fake edict to the treasury and took away five catties of gunpowder and ten thunder fire bombs, and this matter was shaken out by a fast-talking palace maid in the East Palace. The thunder bomb was so powerful that the emperor sent someone to investigate it in fear, who knew that the order was only given the night before, and the next morning, the father-in-law of Ma died mysteriously and violently, and the lost gunpowder and thunder bomb have not been found so far. In addition, I heard from the guard camp that the prince had secretly sent a carriage to carry something out in the last few days, in case it was a lost thunderbolt...... Wei Chen felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly came to tell Lord Yao and General Sima, whether it was true or fake, it was better to be more vigilant in the near future. ”

Yao Junxian pondered for a long time, and then raised his hand and patted the treasurer on the shoulder: "The old man has written down this matter, thank you Lord Deng for reminding me." By the way, the old man remembers that Master Deng still has a daughter who is not married, right," Seeing that the treasurer nodded with joy, Yao Junxian stroked his beard and nodded: "That's right." You see, Yuan'er has been married to his wife Lin for more than two years and has no heirs, and the old man has always wanted to find him a concubine, if Lord Deng and Ling Ai don't mind......"

"Oh, oh, Lord Yao, you are a little girl, where is she worthy of General Sima," he shirked, but the treasurer's eyes were already smiling, and the meaning of anticipation was overflowing.

Sima Yuan is a general with heavy troops, Yao Junxian is a high-powered, protégé everywhere Wenchen, a literary and martial arts plus the newly married second prince who is in the limelight, if you can join the Sima family, it is not superior, enjoy all the glory and wealth, but at any time send some news out of the palace can be exchanged for a promising future, it is really beautiful.

The treasurer's small abacus is beautiful, and the shrewd calculations are all in Yao Junxian's eyes, Yao Junxian does not say anything, and hastily agrees to send guests out after such a marriage, and then directly transfer to Sima Yuan's study.

"The prince smuggled a batch of gunpowder and thunder bombs from the palace treasury."

"Thunder bombs," Sima Yuan, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, stopped his pen and looked up blankly, "That thing is extremely rare, there were only thirty of them sent to the palace by foreign countries back then, won't the emperor worry about taking so many at once, besides, what does he want the thunder bomb for, to blow us up,"

Yao Junxian narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Do we need thunder bombs to kill, ten is enough to blow up your little general's mansion three times." The emperor looked really anxious, and specially sent someone to investigate, not enough to see that the old man was just pretending, in fact, he had acquiesced to the prince to transport things away, and Ma Gonggong was not a fool, it was impossible not to see that the edict was fake, and eighty percent of it was possible that he was used as a substitute for the dead. ”

Sima Yuan inhaled and thought thoughtfully: "Uncle means ...... The emperor deliberately asked the prince to take away these thunder bombs, which doesn't make sense, since you want to give them to you secretly, why bother,"

"Can you hold something in your mind besides the military book," Yao Junxian glared at Sima Yuan, "You don't want to think about it, now is the time when the second prince is at war with Zhaoguo, what if you write back a letter one day to tell the emperor to ask for that thunder and fire bomb, guard my Dayao rivers and mountains, the emperor dares to say no, give, can be relieved,"

Although the relationship between Yi Huaiyu and the emperor is not the same, the harmony is definitely gone, and let him take away the powerful thunder bomb under the pretext of resisting the enemy, and the emperor really doesn't have the guts.

Sima Yuan dropped his pen and held his cheeks to meditate, and it took a long time before he realized that something was wrong: "Uncle, if the thunder bombs and gunpowder were really taken by the prince, would they be transported to the south, but the prince regarded the second prince as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, in case he blew up the military camp ruthlessly,"

"You just thought that with your brain, you can't even be as good as Tu'er." Yao Junxian sat lazily in the rattan chair, with a sneer hidden at the corner of his mouth, "This expedition of the second prince will pose a greater threat to the prince regardless of victory or defeat, the emperor is confused and thinks it doesn't matter, but the prince can't sit still like a frightened bird, and it's not incomprehensible that he wants to make a desperate bet." However, it is not a good idea to attack the conquest army, unless the second prince is unlucky enough to die in the south, otherwise he will definitely do whatever it takes to get rid of the crown prince when he returns. In my opinion, the chance of defeat of the second prince is very small, and if the kid from the family is here, it is not so easy to succeed in sneaking up on him. ”

Yao Junxian is scheming and calculating, few people in the DPRK can match, Sima Yuan has always been ashamed of himself, in the past, listening to his uncle's analysis of various forces and conspiracies always felt unfathomable, but this time, he only felt frightened.

"Uncle had already guessed that the prince wanted to attack the conscription, in that case, why didn't you stop it, Tu'er is also in the army,"

"Isn't it so easy to say," Yao Junxian sank his face and got up impatiently, "Those who achieve great things have to pay a certain price, in order to make Tu'er successfully become the second prince and concubine, I only agreed to let her go with the army, and I didn't let her go to death, who do you yell at, I have been fucking with you two for half my life, and I have to listen to you to blame when I am old, I really raised a puppy cub,"

Yao Junxian complained about something afterwards Sima Yuan didn't pay attention, and the coolness that gradually spread in his heart made it difficult for him to concentrate, he only felt chills all over his body, and suddenly remembered what he said to him when he came to the door not long ago.

"Lord Yao tried his best to promote the marriage between His Royal Highness and Miss Sima, the purpose is really for Miss Sima, sometimes, the closer people are, the more difficult it is to read."

Yes, the closer the person, the more strange it feels when you look closely. Once upon a time, I believed in my uncle as if I was my father, and I never refuted it, but now I am surprised that we both expect different things, and I recall my uncle's unpredictable decisions in many things.

Sima Yuan suddenly panicked, he didn't know who could protect his only sister thousands of miles away, let alone whether the decisions he had made so far were right or wrong, and whether he could really give her happiness.

There was one thing he would never have thought of, just as he was flustered, in the camp that had just experienced chaos, Sima Tulan was sleeping peacefully in Yi Huaiyu's arms.
