In the Great Wei Dynasty, there has also been an undercurrent in recent days.

For the affairs of the rivers and lakes, adults in high positions usually do not care. However, this time it involves the matter of the five tribes of the East China Sea twenty years ago, and the meaning is self-evident.

Even in the past, this matter set off a storm in the city, so when it is mentioned now, most people in the court only remain wait-and-see.

In recent days, the emperor with a slightly better dragon body has returned to the court to listen to the music.

As for the matter of the remnants of the East China Sea, the emperor, who had always been extremely concerned about it before, did not care about it for the first time this time, and did not even take the initiative to mention it, and the meaning behind it is intriguing.

On the Jinluan Palace, Yang Shigong, a eunuch who served by the emperor's side, shouted to the courtiers in the palace: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, the eldest prince Yuan Zhen, who was standing at the end of all the courtiers, took a step to the right and took the lead in speaking: "Enlighten the father, the son has something to play." ”

The ministers in the palace seemed to have guessed what Yuan Zhen was playing, so they were extremely quiet.

The old emperor sitting on the dragon chair heard this, and raised his eyes to look at the five princes standing at the bottom. The eldest prince Yuan Zhi is the oldest, and he has the most profound strength in terms of both the means of the city government and the background, and there are many people in the court who think that he can ascend the throne in the future.

However, the old emperor didn't care much about this.

"Say." The old emperor said lightly.

The eldest prince, Yuan Zhen, leaned over and said: "Father, regarding the matter of the remnants of the East China Sea, the sons feel that they should send more people, and at the same time order all the counties and cities of the country to strictly investigate the personnel who come and go, and cooperate with the Prison Heaven Division and the earth network to find out the two remnants as soon as possible." ”

The eldest prince Yuan Zhi played while presenting the great prince's recital to the emperor, and the specific rules written by the eldest prince on the pursuit of the remaining sins.

After listening to the performance of the eldest prince, the old emperor simply turned two pages and said: "It's good to hand over the affairs of the rivers and lakes to the rivers and lakes, just two remnants, so they won't make such a big move." This time, the matter will be handled by your brothers, and as long as the rules are not exceeded, the personnel transfer will also be arranged by you. ”

"The retainers obeyed." After the eldest prince finished speaking, he slowly retreated back to his original position, and he was already full of slander in his heart.

The other four princes in the palace were probably thinking the same way, and the old emperor's reaction to this matter was beyond everyone's expectations. However, when the other four saw that the eldest brother was deflated, they naturally felt better.

Contact the recent news of Louwailou, if they can really win over Louwailou, it is not impossible to win over the eldest brother.

The emperor's speech was flat, and he could not hear whether he was for or against. In the court, the ministers looked at each other. After knowing the emperor's reaction to this matter, the adults who originally planned to reconsider it were also silent.

After the matter was discussed, Taiwei Yang Kaicheng immediately followed up with a major event.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do."

After Yang Kaicheng finished speaking, the emperor said, "What does Lord Taiwei want to play?" ”

"Your Majesty, the northern Rouran tribe has had signs of being outside Chen Bingyang Pass in recent times. According to Wei Chen, the Rouran tribe must be to plunder our country before the arrival of winter, and I ask Your Majesty to make plans as soon as possible. ”

If the performance of the eldest prince is just a small fight, then the performance of Taiwei Yang Kaicheng is undoubtedly very important. The conflict between the northern Rouran tribe and the Great Wei Dynasty has been a long time, and more than a dozen large and small battles have been fought in the north in recent years.

However, the tribes of the barbarian land outside the Guanxi often migrated according to the topography of the water and grass, and the northern desert was vast and sparsely populated, and the whereabouts of the personnel were uncertain, so that the Great Wei was never able to complete the battle and decided the north in a war.

Therefore, over the years, the northern part of Great Wei has suffered from the invasion of the Rouran tribe.

The emperor on the dragon chair was obviously worried about the harassment of the Rouran tribe, and the emperor frowned and asked, "The Rouran tribe has plundered my northern land. Come and go in a hurry, what good way do you Aiqing have? ”

After the emperor said a word, the ministers in the palace exchanged their heads and whispered for a while.

After a while, Prime Minister Cui Hao came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the old minister's construction, you can send Zhao Kezhong to lead 30,000 troops to Yangguan from now on to garrison." If the Rouran tribe dares to attack, General Zhao can attack decisively, and a war will definitely protect the border for three years. ”

Prime Minister Cui Hao's suggestion was a symptom rather than a cure, but the courtiers couldn't come up with a better way at the moment, so the old emperor had no choice but to say: "Then according to the Prime Minister's words, Zhao Kezhong." ”

"The end will be."

"I order you to be General Yunlu, lead 30,000 troops, open the Yang Pass on the same day, and be sure to protect the people of the north of our country."

"The last will obey."

After the two matters were discussed, the old emperor listened to a few painless twists and turns, and then hastily ended this early dynasty.

After the next dynasty, Prime Minister Cui Hao walked with the eldest prince Yuan Zhen.

Cui Hao whispered to Yuan Zhen: "Your Highness, Minglang came with news from Meiwu City a few days ago, saying that the Prison Heavenly Division had made a deal with him, and it was about the two remnants. ”

Yuan Zhen was curious when he heard this: "Oh? What's the news, please come quickly. ”

Cui Hao said slowly: "The Prison Heaven Division is said to have the specific whereabouts of the two remnants, as for the source, the Heaven Supervisor Division did not disclose it, but the news should be reliable. So I sent the five Black Sword Squires with him, and if all went well, the two remnants would have been dead last night. ”

After Cui Hao finished speaking, although he was a little excited, Yuan Zhen still said in a deep voice: "Is what Lord Cui said true? Where are the remnants hiding now? ”

"It's true, those two remnants are about to arrive in the area of Shuiyue Town outside Qu'er City."

After Cui Hao finished speaking, he seemed to have something to say. Yuan Zhen saw it, so he said: "If Master Cui has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Cui Hao thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, you also know that this time the supervisor Tiansi did not participate for no reason, and then contact Your Majesty's reaction to those two remnants today, Your Majesty is likely to want to let the remnants of the Shen family go." Among them, His Royal Highness needs to think carefully. ”

There is no need to say much about the price that Cui Shi spent. Cui's family and the eldest prince Yuan Zhen have long been grasshoppers on a rope, with dead lips and cold teeth.

In response to Cui Hao's reminder, Yuan Zhi pondered for a moment while walking and then spoke: "Twenty years ago, the extermination of the Shen family was led by my father, and the later pursuit of the Heavenly Division and the Earth Net also contributed the most. After so many years, does my father want to leave some blood for the Shen family and think about the relationship between the clan? ”

Cui Hao heard the words and said: "Your Majesty's mind has always been elusive. Your Highness, there are many forces behind you now, if Your Majesty wants to take the opportunity to fight, Your Highness must take precautions! ”

Yuan Zhen didn't figure out his old man's thoughts, but he really listened to Cui Hao's reminder.

"Lady Cui's words, I will think deeply."

Cui Hao stroked his beard and didn't say anything more.

In Yuan Zhen's opinion, since the emperor did not stop them from chasing and killing, then he did not need his subordinates to show mercy. The secrets of the Shen family and the secrets of the five clans of the East China Sea are all a big help to him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhi thought of Peng Yu. Although it was also an unintentional move, Yuan Zhen still had some regrets that Peng Yu didn't grasp the great opportunity, otherwise why would he need to bother so much.

Compared with the calm and indifference in the court, the rivers and lakes have long been treacherous because of this.

Cui's assassination of Shen Jing and Su Yao, no matter how tightly the news is covered, will still leave clues. Later, the people and horses passing by Shuiyue Town quickly found traces of fighting, and those who had a heart even felt the attack of the black sword attendant and the Buddhist monk.

The small gang and small faction naturally couldn't get in touch with the trajectory after the incident, but the major forces naturally quickly realized that it was the Qinghe Cui clan who made the move. For many forces who are still struggling to find the traces of the two, this is undoubtedly great news.

After a night of turmoil, on the second day, Shen Jing and Su Yao had already left Shuiyue Town with a light letter before everyone could react.

Although it was late when Ming Nian and his master entered the town last night, they still met a kind family that took in their master and apprentice for one night. Not only that, but the family also prepared a sumptuous meal for them.

After the meal, Ming Nian and the master prayed for the blessing of the family and chanted sutras.

Ming Nian apologized a lot to the Buddha in his heart, and he told the Buddha all the things he had been lazy and did wrong. Ming Nian promised the Buddha that he would never play again in the future.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ming Nian followed the master to say goodbye to the master's house.

The morning sun was shining, and Ming Nian seemed to see two familiar figures in the distance on the street corner slowly moving away. Ming Nian glanced at the master, but the master was already looking at him.

"Master, are there two Jiang donors in front?"

The old monk Kukai smiled and nodded.

Ming Nian said again: "Master Jiang, they are all good people. ”

The old monk Kukai still smiled: "Yes, very good people. ”

Shen Jing and Su Yao, who were on the road ahead, did not turn around, and they didn't know that in the distance behind them, the pair of masters and apprentices who met in the rivers and lakes folded their hands and saluted them.

A few days later, Jiang Ning in Meiwu City received the news that the Cui clan was encircling and suppressing Shen Guo and Su Yao, but the news said that the two were rescued by a Buddhist monk who didn't know what to do.

After that, the news of Cui's family, Shen Kuang and Su Yao became very rare.

The news was told to Jiang Ning by Dai Shuang, although his young lady looked flat when she heard the news, Dai Shuang knew that the young lady was actually very nervous in her heart.

The thought of life and death, fortunately, did not die in the end.

This time the assassination was extremely strange, and the news that could not be found out outside the building, Cui's was able to know it at the first time.

After that, Jiang Ning instructed Dai Shuang to do two things, the first was to investigate the identity of the Buddhist monk, and the second was to let the people in the dark outside the building find the location of Shen Jing and Su Yao as soon as possible.

Yu Wenyuan, who stayed in Meiwu City, also sniffed out the strangeness after knowing the news for the first time.

After Cui Minglang learned the news that the assassination failed and his younger brother was seriously injured, he felt like a bolt from the blue. This sudden Buddhist warrior monk not only deceived everyone, but also disrupted their layout.

Song Wan, the Heavenly Supervisor, was also surprised by Cui's failure, but she was even more surprised by Shen Kuang's luck, and there was still life in the mortal situation.

Two days later, Yu Wenyuan came to visit Jiang Ning.

In recent days, Louwailou is not only in the temple, but also in the limelight in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, Yu Wenyuan deliberately covered up his whereabouts, firstly, because it was not appropriate for others to know, and secondly, because this matter was very important.

Yu Wenyuan walked into Tingxiang Garden accompanied by Zong Yangqiu, and Jiang Ning found a room and talked to Yu Wenyuan about the strangeness of this incident.

"Miss Jiang, have you ever checked that Miss Su's back?" Yu Wenyuan said straight to the point.

Jiang Ning said when he heard this: "I also had a simple investigation when I investigated Shen Guo before, did Yuwen Gongzi suspect that there was something wrong with Su Yao's identity?" ”

"At the moment, it's just a suspicion, and there is some evidence of it. There is a lot of information in the building, so I think Miss Jiang might be able to find out more information. ”

After saying that, Yu Wenyuan continued: "Although I don't know the specific route of Brother Shen's way, I have also sorted out a general context. The further back he went, the more erratic Brother Shen's whereabouts became, so apart from the two of them, there were few third people who could know it, even if they met someone from the rivers and lakes, with Brother Shen's alertness, he would definitely not let the other party know his identity, so I was curious and carefully checked the identity of that Miss Su. ”

Jiang Ning frowned and said, "What is the result?" ”

Yu Wenyuan said: "I ordered people to find out the first time Brother Shen and that Miss Su met in the autumn, that time the Prison Heaven Division chased and suppressed the Su family, and the rest of the Su family was killed and injured, and in the end, only Miss Su escaped and was rescued by Brother Shen." However, as far as I know, that Miss Su also has a younger sister, and it is very likely that it is in the hands of the Heavenly Supervisor. ”

Yu Wenyuan said this, although he didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Ning had already understood what he meant. She didn't investigate much about Su Yao's background, but now it seems that there are a lot of chews in it.

Jiang Ning thanked him: "Thank you Yuwen Gongzi for informing me, I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter carefully." ”

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Yu Wenyuan didn't remind anything more, because he knew that he could think of anything outside the building.

"By the way, there is another recent incident in the court, I think Miss Jiang will also be interested."

"Yuwen Gongzi, please speak clearly."

"In the morning of the first two days, the eldest prince Yuan Zhi wanted to strengthen the pursuit of Brother Shen, but he was vetoed by His Majesty, and only said that the matter would be handled by the five princes themselves."
