After a rough understanding of the hour, Yan Bingyun closed the window, sat back on the chair, took out a very beautiful purse embroidered by the camp 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 the day, 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 visit, 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 envoys, 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 Lanzhou, and Yan Bingyun didn't know that Fan Tisi had already joined the royal driver at this time. I was still vaguely confused in my heart.

At the same time, nervous.

Kyoto seems to be calm, the forbidden army Kyoto garrison and the dean Chen who is full of darkness and terror. Nothing big is likely to happen. If something big happens, it should be far away from His Majesty's side in Kyoto......

Yan Bingyun stood at the window with a wry smile. Looking at the Tianhe Avenue downstairs, not far from the Imperial Palace. His status is not high. But his role is complex. He is the de facto number three person in the Supervisory Yuan. It's Fan Xiandi's cronies. But his father has another identity. Most critically. He was one of the young men who His Majesty personally summoned to the palace that day, after a long night of talking. And he has another identity.

No wonder Dean Chen suppressed himself as soon as he returned to Beijing. Presumably, the Dean also has some opinions about himself.

As for why Dean Chen didn't let him inform Fan Xian, Yan Bingyun relied on his unique wealth to come from three sources. I vaguely guessed a hint of truth. But he began to be frightened by this truth--Could it be that even if Dean Chen died, something big would happen around His Majesty's land? That's why he wanted to push the boat down the river. 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 could Fan Xian's safety be more important than His Majesty's life and death?

Ding Dang Ding Dang copper bell rang, the most special home signal sounded in the major yamen in Kyoto, and countless hurried officials walked out of the square building of the Supervision Yuan. They weren't busy sowing bad water. Just in a hurry to get home. Secret agents are also public servants, and the Supervisory Yuan is also a civil servant. It's no different from ordinary people.

Yan Bingyun had nothing to clean up, and went straight out of the building. Got into his own carriage. hurriedly returned to the Viscount's Mansion, did not go to talk to the Shen family sister-in-law about love, and went directly to his father's study. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is there any news from the Qin family?"

Yan Ruohai glanced at his son. Shook his head. said: "You are in charge of the courtyard around, is there any movement over there?"

The location of the mountain is special. It is just at the entrance of Dongshan Road, which is in the northeast of Qingguo. It is not far from Dongyi, but because of the primeval dense forest between Shanzhou and Dongyi, no one dares to cross it, so the traffic between the two places is mainly by sea. Or go around the mountain.

Originally, there was nothing too big in the Dongshan Road that could threaten the power of the Imperial Command. However, Caishan 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 are clear. In that mountain chong, the secret soldiers of the old man of the Qin family have been trained, and he once sniped Fan Xiandi's team on the outskirts of Kyoto at the end of the year. It was the Qin family who was transferred from Caishan without telling the imperial court.

"It's been quiet over there since that incident. The courtyard has been staring at that side with great energy, if there is any change. Can't hide it from us. Yan Bingyun relaxed a little. Sit down.

Yan Ruohai smiled and said, "What we know is that the dean knows about the things that His Majesty knows, and that His Majesty knows about the things." Since His Majesty dared to take two thousand forbidden troops to Dadong Mountain to worship the heavens. If it weren't for not taking the little people in Caishan Chongli in his eyes, he would have believed in the loyalty of Old Man Qin. ”

"Loyalty?" Yan Bingyun sighed, "Secretly sniping and killing important officials of the imperial court." Can you be considered loyal?"

"There are many levels of loyalty, and perhaps His Majesty has suspected the old man's loyalty in the last incident, but in fact, there is always a difference between the courtiers and His Majesty himself. ”

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, I beheaded six hundred Hu people, and I was supposed to return to Beijing at this time to repay my 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 not there. ”

He clenched his fist lightly in his sleeve, and 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 Your Majesty's safety can be confirmed." ”

"What's the danger?" Yan Ruohai frowned and said: "I, the elite soldiers of the seven roads of the Daqing Dynasty, the three roads you suspect are impossible to get close to 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're the leader of the four places, taking my class. It should be known that killing people is risking merit...... Although it is a big crime, there has never been a way to completely eradicate it, especially this kind of border general. Additional rewards from the imperial court are needed to balance the misery of the cold lands. 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 National 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 stood up slowly, stared at 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 all the tricks in the world? Even if the Governor of Yan and the Northern Qi people are acting." But what's 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 Army has lost 5,000 people! This is a great victory? Behead 8,000." I'm afraid that most of them are fake! Are the 5,000 people dead? If not, where did the 5,000 people who disappeared go?"

He pointed to the desktop, pointed to the non-existent map of the Qingguo border, and said angrily: "Father, although the Zhengbei camp is between Cangzhou and Yanjing. But if you draw a straight line, it is only 500 miles away from Dadong Mountain! If this 5,000 people who should have died suddenly appeared at the foot of Dadong Mountain. What to do?"

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 5,000 people are really turned into dead soldiers as you say, even if Sigu Jian is as stupid as you are to open the country, he has no fear 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, it is a fact that the map, human eyes and manpower have all proved the facts, those primitive dense forests and peaks in the north of Shanzhou are not at all that mortals can climb over, let alone a force of 5,000 people.

No one has been able to turn over it before, and no one will ever be able to turn it over in the future. Yan Bingyun thought of the geographical environment of that place, and his momentum was a little weaker, but he still didn't dare to give up, 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.

Seeing 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 crack, and said loudly: "I don't know if what I'm worried about is a novel, I just 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, looking 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 day 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. 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 court, and he had already done what he should do. After all, he is an official of the Supervisory Yuan, the son of his father, and it is impossible for him to do more.

"The Ye family is indeed too quiet, and Ye Zhong is indeed too well-behaved, offering prisoners...... It was so good 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. With the support of the Ye family, the second prince 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 everybody wants to do it. 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 want to destroy yourself, you must 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 had an idea, she had to wait for news from there. ”

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Your Majesty our Great Emperor...... Will definitely surprise the eldest princess, as for the news she has to wait. It may never be possible. ”

"But what about Yan Xiaoyi's five thousand elite soldiers?" Yan Ruohai frowned: "I haven't understood this all along, even if I have 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: "The blue sun pretends to be frosty, and when it comes to the big event, I am still a little uneasy." ”

"He is 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 was originally unwilling to startle the snake, of course the courtyard couldn't react to Yan Xiaoyi's movements in advance......" Chen Pingping coughed twice. I thought to myself, whether there is an afterthought is a question that needs to be considered.

After Yan Ruohai left, the old cripple in the wheelchair habitually pushed the wheelchair back to the window, looking outside through the layer of black cloth, the corners of his lips curled slightly, 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 knows.

Even if five thousand people go, it will only surround the entire mountain, and at most it can control the transmission of the message of the people who worship the heavens, 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 die bigger, not to innocently give up his life in that earth-shattering emergency.

His Majesty prepared a big surprise for the eldest princess and Ye Liuyun, so isn't the eldest princess ready to prepare some surprises for Your Majesty?

Chen Pingping tilted her head, leaning on the wheelchair a little weakly, feeling the taste 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 Qingguo, the land of right and wrong, according to his own wishes, and he should have arrived in Quanzhou at this time, preparing to live overseas that old poison had been longing 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 His Majesty the Emperor on the mountain had guessed, as long as the eldest princess Li Yunrui did not die physically, she could always find hidden power in Kyoto, and at this time she was confined in the imperial annex, and the outside was monitored by the people of the Supervision Yuan, 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 Your Majesty thinks, in fact, the blind can see it...... 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.
