After a little understanding, Yan Bingyun closed the window, sat back on the chair, took out a very beautiful embroidered purse from his arms, took out a few melon seeds from it and sent them to his lips, knocked them carefully, looking very boring, only when his eyes fell on the purse, he would become gentle and affectionate, this purse was embroidered by Miss Shen.

Xiao Yan Gongzi has been extremely leisurely these days, he doesn't need to consul general anymore, and he doesn't need to be as sensitive as a staff member to supervise the court officials, except for the four affairs of Rìxing, he doesn't have much to do.

――On the wilderness between Yanjing and Cangzhou, after eating a big loss from Yan Xiaoyi, the Shangshan Tiger calmed down, although the Northern Qi people submitted a letter of reprimand, but the investigation of the accidental injury was still ongoing, there was no change in Shangjing, and Dongyi City was extremely quiet.

These are the things that need to be taken care of everywhere, and before His Majesty left Beijing, enough fake news had been released everywhere, and it was necessary to ensure the quiet of the two forces, Yan Bingyun believed that with the ability of the Supervision Yuan, even if the Northern Qi royal family and Sigu Jian knew the news of the emperor's patrol, they would not be able to react in a very short time.

And he had to be leisurely, because even if there were no such messengers, but the Kyoto Yishu of the Qi Nian group was still under the control of Yan Bingyun, and it stands to reason that he should inform Fan Xian in advance of a major event like His Majesty's patrol...... What is very incomprehensible is that as soon as Dean Chen returned to Beijing, he suppressed his idea very resolutely.

This is exactly the question that Fan Xian couldn't figure out when he was in Shanzhou, Yan Bingyun didn't know that Fan Tisi had already joined the royal driver at this time, and he was still faintly at a loss in his heart.

At the same time, nervous.

Kyoto seems to be calm, the garrison of the forbidden army in Kyoto and the dean Chen who is full of darkness and terror, there is no possibility that anything big will happen, if something big happens, it should be far away from the side of His Majesty in Kyoto...... Yan Bingyun stood at the window with a wry smile, looking at Tianhe Avenue downstairs and the palace not far away. His status is not high, but his role is very complicated, he is the actual number three person in the Supervision Yuan, and he is a close confidant of Fan Xian, but his father has another identity, and the most important thing is that he is one of the young people who was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, and after a long night of talking, he has another identity.

It is no wonder that Dean Chen suppressed himself as soon as he returned to Beijing, presumably Dean also had some opinions about himself.

As for why Dean Chen didn't let him inform Fan Xian, Yan Bingyun vaguely guessed a trace of the truth by virtue of his unique news from the three parties, but began to be frightened by this truth - could it be that even if Dean Chen died, something big would happen to His Majesty's side? That's why I wanted to push the boat down the river and let Fan Xian get as far away from the royal car as possible!

But the dean is so loyal to His Majesty, no matter how much he loves Fan Xian, how can he regard Fan Xian's safety as more important than His Majesty's life and death?

Dingdang Dingdang copper bell rang, the most special homecoming signal sounded in the major yamen in Kyoto, and countless hurried officials walked out of the square building of the Supervision Yuan, who were not busy spreading bad water, but were in a hurry to go home. The spies are also official duties, and the inspectors are all civil servants, no different from ordinary people.

Yan Bingyun had nothing to clean up, so he went straight out of the building, got into his own carriage, and hurriedly returned to the Viscount's mansion, without going to talk about love with the sister of the Shen family, he went directly to his father's study and asked, "Is there any news from the Qin family?"

Yan Ruohai glanced at his son, shook his head, and said, "You are in charge of all things in the courtyard, is there any movement over there in Kunshan Chong?"

The location of Kunshan is special, just at the entrance of Dongshan Road, this place is in the northeast of Qingguo, and Dongyi is not far away, but because of the primitive dense forest between Tangzhou and Dongyi, no one dares to cross the primeval dense forest, so the traffic between the two places is mainly by sea, or bypassing Kunshan.

Originally, there was nothing too big in Dongshan Road that could threaten the power of the imperial driver, but Kunshan happened to be on the way back to Beijing from Dongshan Road, and the most critical problem was ...... The father and son of the Yan family both knew that the secret soldiers of the old man of the Qin family had been trained in that mountain chong, and the team that had sniped Fan Xian in the suburbs of Kyoto at the end of the year was transferred from the Qin family from the imperial court without telling it.

"It's been quiet over there, and since that incident, the courtyard has been staring at that side with a great jīng god, and if there is any change, it can't hide it from us. Yan Bingyun relaxed a little and sat down.

Yan Ruohai smiled and said, "What we know is what the Dean knows, and what His Majesty knows." Since His Majesty dared to take two thousand forbidden troops to Dadong Mountain to worship the heavens, if he didn't take the little people in Chongli in Kunshan in his eyes, he believed in the loyalty of Old Man Qin. ”

"Loyalty?" Yan Bingyun sighed, "Secretly sniping and killing important officials of the imperial court can be regarded as loyalty?"

"There are many levels of loyalty, and the last incident may have doubted the loyalty of the old man, but in fact, there is always a difference between the courtier and the majesty itself. ”

Yan Ruohai paused and asked seriously: "I should not ask again after I have retired, but I am still curious, is there any problem in Dingzhou?"

Yan Bingyun shook his head: "At the beginning of the year, he beheaded six hundred Hu people, and he was supposed to return to Beijing at this time to report his merits, but obviously Ye Chong was also worried that the palace would suspect him, so he left the team in Dingzhou, and did not dare to return to Beijing when His Majesty was away." ”

He gently clenched the fist in his sleeve, and he stopped talking.

Yan Ruohai glanced at his son curiously and said, "You are not usually like this, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Yan Bingyun's frosty face had a faint suspicion: "I don't know if His Majesty's safety can be confirmed." ”

"What's the danger?" Yan Ruohai frowned and said, "I'm a soldier of the Seven Roads of the Daqing Dynasty, and the Three Roads you suspect are impossible to approach Dadong Mountain, and they are all under the watchful eye of the courtyard. ”

"What about Yan Xiaoyi?" Yan Bingyun stared coldly into his father's eyes, as if he wanted to see something else in his eyes.

Yan Ruohai naturally turned his head, avoiding his son's gaze, and said, "What's wrong with Governor Yan?"

"There is a problem with the Cangzhou victory!" Yan Bingyun lowered his voice and said: "I said that there is a problem with the Cangzhou victory this time! The secret agents who went around to check the military merits have reported that although those heads are disguised, there are some problems ......."

"You are the leader of the four places, and you should know that you are killing people and risking merit...... Although it is a major crime, there has never been a way to completely eradicate it, especially this kind of border general, who needs additional rewards from the imperial court to balance the misery of the cold land. Yan Ruohai said indifferently: "Besides, even if Yan Xiaoyi lied about his military exploits, what does it have to do with His Majesty on Dadong Mountain? Don't forget, the Northern Qi State Book has arrived, could it be that the people of Northern Qi will act with Yan Dadudu?"

"That's what I'm afraid of. Yan Bingyun said coldly: "If it's just killing the people and risking merit, it's okay, if this matter is related to Northern Qi, I'm afraid that things won't be so simple." ”

Yan Ruohai slowly stood up, stared into his son's eyes, and said word by word: "Do you know what you are talking about? Could it be that you think that the dean and Lord Tisi asked you to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the academy, and you are the most amazing person in the world? You can see through the deceit of the world? Even if the Governor of Yan and the Northern Qi people are acting, what is the problem?"

"What's the problem?" Yan Bingyun looked at his father, a burst of anger ignited in his chest, and he said angrily: "The Northern Expedition Army has lost 5,000 people! This is a great victory? Beheading 8,000 people, I'm afraid that most of them are fake! Are those 5,000 people dead? If not, where did the 5,000 people who disappeared go?"

He pointed to the desktop and pointed to the map of the Qingguo border region, which did not exist, and said angrily: "Father, although the Zhengbei camp is between Cangzhou and Yanjing, if you draw a straight line, it is only 500 miles away from Dadong Mountain! What if these 5,000 people who should have died suddenly appear at the foot of Dadong Mountain?"

Yan Ruohai frowned, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said in a cold voice: "Stupid! Although the road from Cangzhou to Dongshan is close, it has to make a detour through Kunshan, I don't know how many states and counties it has to pass, and the distance is more than 1,000 miles, do you think 5,000 people can go deep into the territory so quietly?"

"What if you don't go around?" Yan Bingyun didn't give an inch in front of his father, and said all the confusion that had been in his heart these days: "If Dongyi City opens the country, let those five thousand dead people pass through the vassal states...... What to do?"

What to do with the two in a row, but it didn't make Yan Ruohai nervous, he looked at his son and sneered and said: "Fool! Even if those five thousand people are really as dead as you say, even if Sigu Jian is as stupid as you are to open the country, he is not afraid of my Qingjun...... But have you ever thought about it, from Dongyi City to the middle of Dadong Mountain, you have to pass through Shanzhou, and those high mountains and cliffs in the north of Shanzhou, no one can climb over at all!"

This is a fact, a fact that has been proven by the map, human eyes and manpower, those primitive dense forests and peaks in the north of Lanzhou are simply not something that mortals can climb over, let alone a force of 5,000 people.

"No one has been able to turn over it before, and it is not necessarily that no one will ever be able to turn it over. Yan Bingyun thought of the geographical environment there, and his momentum was a little weak, but he still didn't dare to stop, and said directly: "Besides, who knows if there are any secret passages in those mountains." ”

"Secret Passage, do you think it's a novel from the Bookstore?" Yan Ruohai sneered and prepared to walk out of the study.

Looking at his father's expression of not caring at all, Yan Bingyun finally couldn't help it, slapped his palm on the table, made a loud snap, and said angrily: "I don't know if what I'm worried about is a novel, I only know that what the Supervision Yuan is doing now is a joke...... Regardless of whether this will happen or not, but since there is already a suspicion, I will report it to the academy according to the regulations, why did the dean suppress this matter!"

When Yan Ruohai heard this, his body shook, and he slowly turned around and looked at his son with a very complicated look.

Yan Bingyun thought that his father had finally been persuaded by him, and a feeling of relief arose in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruohai flicked his sleeves, went out of the study, summoned his cronies to escort him, and said indifferently: "The young master is unwell, let him stay in the house to rest, and don't let him go out for a single step." ”

Several guards received orders in a deep voice.

After Yan Bingyun was stunned for a moment, a cold feeling oozed in his heart, staring at his father's back, and suddenly thinking of the conversation between him and his father a long time ago, he was speechless for a long time.

That rì he asked his father, "What if...... I mean, if you had to choose between the palace and the courtyard, what would you choose?"

At that time, Yan Ruohai looked at him with a funny look and sighed: "Silly boy, I will naturally choose the courtyard...... If the old dean didn't have this confidence in me, how could he say so much to you?"

............ Yan Bingyun took a step towards the door, and was stopped by the guards with strong martial arts skills at home. He didn't struggle too much, just sighed and asked his father, "Where are you going?"

Yan Ruohai turned around, looked at his son and smiled, and said, "Since you are sick, I naturally have to go to the hospital to ask for leave for you." ”

Yan Bingyun didn't say anything more, he was loyal to His Majesty and loyal to the imperial court, he had already done what he had to do, after all, he was an official of the Supervision Yuan, his father's son, and it was impossible to do more.

――――――――――――――――――― "The Ye family is indeed too quiet, and Ye Zhong is indeed too well-behaved, offering prisoners...... It was such a good opportunity to take the opportunity to enter Beijing, so he let it go. ”

Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shook her head and said, "Of course, he is also afraid that the palace will be jealous of him, and something will go wrong in advance...... It's just that the second prince must be muttering in his heart, thinking that the prince is about to be abolished, if the prince is blind at this time, the second prince has the support of the Ye family, and he will definitely be able to set the throne alone, he is afraid that he is begging for his father-in-law to return as soon as possible. ”

"Now everyone wants to do it, and no one has the ability and courage to be the first to do it. The old man smiled and pushed his wheelchair over the black cloth and said, "If you perish yourself, you will make yourself crazy...... The eldest princess is crazy enough. ”

Yan Ruohai laughed, understood what Dean Chen meant, and said, "But you are in Beijing, even if she has an idea, she has to wait for the news over there." ”

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Our great emperor, Your Majesty...... It will definitely surprise the eldest princess, and as for the news she is waiting for, she may never be able to wait. ”

"But what about Yan Xiaoyi's five thousand soldiers?" Yan Ruohai frowned: "I haven't understood this all the time, even if I saved these five thousand soldiers and entered the country...... But how did he get to the foot of Dadong Mountain?"

"Yan Xiaoyi's hands and feet in Cangzhou this time are very good, but I didn't expect to be seen by Yan Bingyun. Chen Pingping praised and said: "This child is really good. ”

Yan Ruohai smiled bitterly: "Ping rì pretends to be frosty, and when it comes to the big event, I am still a little uneasy." ”

"He's not you and me, I don't know His Majesty's arrangement. Chen Pingping sighed, "So it's normal for me to have doubts about you." ”

"Hindsight...... How do you explain it to the palace?"

"Your Majesty is unwilling to startle the snake, of course the courtyard can't react to Yan Xiaoyi's actions in advance......" Chen Pingping coughed twice, thinking in her heart, whether there is an aftermath is a matter that needs to be considered.

After Yan Ruohai left, the old cripple in the wheelchair was used to pushing the wheelchair back to the window, looking outside through the layer of black cloth, the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, thinking that there was indeed a secret passage from the vassal states of Dongyi City through the mountains, plundering the state and reaching Dadong Mountain, he knew it, His Majesty also knew, just looking at the appearance, and now the eldest princess also knew.

Even if 5,000 people go, it will only surround the entire mountain peak, and at most it will be able to control the message transmission of the people who worship the sky, and the only key point in the whole incident is that it is still on that peak.

Chen Pingping scratched her gray hair with her withered right hand, secretly thinking that she had missed a little, Fan Xian, the little guy, ran to the peak at this time, and only hoped that he could have a bigger life, and not innocently give up his life in that earth-shattering emergency.

His Majesty prepared a big surprise for the eldest princess and Ye Liuyun, so wouldn't the eldest princess prepare some surprises for Her Majesty?

Chen Pingping tilted her head, leaning on the wheelchair a little weakly, feeling the smell of life slowly draining from her body, but she was excited by the picture in her mind, and seemed to have found some elements that she was excited about, excited about, and fascinated by back then.

The agitation of his heart made him cough, although the cough was extremely painful, but it made his chest tear for a while, he subconsciously rang the dark bell on the bookcase, but found that it was not Fei Jie who opened the door and came in.

Only then did he think that Fei Jie had already left the land of right and wrong in Qingguo according to his own wishes, and he should have arrived in Quanzhou at this time to prepare for the overseas life that the old poison had longed for for a long time.

"Some coughs, find some medicine to eat. Chen Pingping looked at the subordinates who came in with a smile, and said kindly, if you can live for two more years, you will naturally live for two more years.

The subordinate was flattered and took the order.

―――――――――――――――――― as the emperor on the mountain peak guessed, as long as the eldest princess Li Yunrui did not die physically, she could always find hidden power in Kyoto, at this time she was confined in the imperial courtyard, and the outside was monitored by the people of the supervision institute, but her life still maintained an extremely luxurious standard.

What's even more unexpected is that Yuan Hongdao, the Xinyang strategist who had fled from Kyoto for several months, actually appeared in the courtyard at this time, sitting in front of the eldest princess, not knowing how the eldest princess did it.

"What His Majesty thinks, in fact, the blind can see...... It's just that Hongu doesn't know where his faith is. ”

Li Yunrui's appearance is still beautiful, and her eyes are still charming and amorous, but really careful people can see that this woman's mind has changed slightly, and under the amorous underneath is a touch of indifference engraved in the depths of her heart.
