Walk through the side door of the brightly lit lobby of Jingzhao Mansion. @

After a while, Zhao Shou walked into the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.

Compared to the bright lights in the lobby.

At this time, the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion was contained in darkness, without a trace of light, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Zhao Shou slowly walked to the study without a glimmer of light.

According to his understanding of Xu Yi, Xu Yi at this time will definitely wait for the final result in the study.

"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou stood at the door of the study and whispered respectfully.

"Enter."

Sure enough, Xu Yi's deep voice sounded from the study.

Zhao Shou slowly pushed open the door and walked in.

At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in the study.

It didn't take a while.

The study was filled with a warm yellow glow.

"Sixth Master, everything is going well, the twenty-six assassins who came here have all been killed." Zhao Shou looked at the energetic Xu Yi and reported in a low voice.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then asked, "Have you found anything?" ”

Zhao Shou shook his head helplessly and replied, "Consistent with the sixth master's previous guess, those people don't have the slightest trace of features and items on them that can prove their identity. ”

"On top of that, those people had poison in their mouths that was fast enough to kill."

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, not surprised.

If this were not the case, the order would not have been given beforehand.

Xu Yi settled down and said slowly: "Order, Jingzhao Mansion was attacked by thieves tonight, and the officials killed the enemy bravely, killing 23 thieves at the cost of 11 casualties, and capturing 3 thieves alive." ”

"After interrogation, those thieves intended to kill people and kill their mouths, and the target was Feng Yuyan, the great rat for disaster relief."

As he spoke, Xu Yi paused.

He continued: "In addition, arrange some nimble officials to spread the truth and falsehood of tonight's attack among the people. ”

If nothing else, after dawn, it will be time for Xu Yi's purge.

Regardless of whether the enemy believes it or not, after the news of nine truths and one falsehood is spread, it can more or less disturb the enemy's vision and disturb the enemy's state of mind.

And this will naturally buy a certain amount of time for Xu Yi to prepare for the final counterattack.

"Obey!" A trace of joy flashed on Zhao Shou's face, and then he clenched his fists loudly.

"Go ahead." Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, and then turned his head to look at the omission on the table.

It was just over an hour before dawn.

Until now, Xu Yi has not seen two fireworks flash in the sky.

The corners of Xu Yi's mouth curved slightly, and then he extinguished the oil lamp on the table again.

The whole person leaned back on the Taishi chair again, closed his eyes and rested.

Time passed imperceptibly.

An hour later.

Inside the dark study.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and lit the fuel lamp.

Quietly staring at the oil lamp for a moment, his mind quickly reviewing his plans for the day.

After reacting all the details in his mind, Xu Yi slowly got up and walked towards the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.

Inside the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.

Qin Fuping raised the hem of his sleeves and yawned heavily.

Rubbing his eyes, he glanced up at the leaks placed in the lobby.

Then he sighed heavily, looked at the account books on the table, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

Qin Fuping picked up the tea that had already cooled on the table, raised his head and drank it all.

He sighed again, and then placed his finger on the abacus.

Before Qin Fuping could pull the abacus again, a person suddenly walked in outside the lobby.

"It's finally here!" Qin Fuping shook his head, which was still a little dizzy, and couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

The number of times Qin Fuping stayed up late had already become less and less as his official position became higher and higher.

If he hadn't had no choice this time, Qin Fuping would have gone long ago.

Qin Fuping got up and walked towards the man quickly.

"The Six Princes." Before approaching, Qin Fuping took a deep breath and bowed.

“。

Lord Qin, please come with me. Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then walked towards the inner house with Qin Fuping.

Qin Fuping's body was stunned when he heard this, and endless hesitation flashed in his eyes.

In the past, when was Xu Yi's attitude towards him so refreshing?

"Lord Qin?" Xu Yi paused and looked at Qin Fuping, who was still in place.

Qin Fu calmed down and hurriedly said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Xu Yi smiled and didn't say much, turned around and walked in the direction of the inner house again.

Qin Fuping slowly followed Xu Yi's footsteps.

For some reason, Qin Fuping was always a little uneasy in his heart.

When looking at Xu Yi's back, he always felt that the man in front of him seemed to be shrouded in the night.

It's unpredictable.

Calmly and unhurriedly is also walking, and panting and restlessness is also walking.

It didn't take a while.

The two walked through the dark hallway.

Walked into the courtyard of the Jingzhao Mansion.

Qin Fuping had something in his heart, and the whole person slowly followed behind Xu Yi like a line of corpses.

Until Xu Yi pushed open the door of the study and made a creaking sound.

Qin Fuping can be regarded as really coming back to his senses.

"Lord Qin, please." Xu Yi said politely, and then walked into the study.

"Whew~!"

Outside the study, Qin Fuping took several deep breaths, and only then did he completely stabilize his mind and restore the demeanor that a court member should have.

"Sit." Seeing Qin Fuping walking in with his head held high, Xu Yi raised his hand and unhurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the Taishi chair next to the table.

After Qin Fuping took his seat, he looked at Xu Yi quietly, and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to mention it.

Xu Yi reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, and slowly poured the tea into the two teacups.

The sound of rushing water silently dispersed the atmosphere in the study.

"Drink tea." Xu Yi casually pushed one of the cups of tea towards Qin Fuping.

Qin Fuping stretched out his hand to take the warm tea, raised his head and drank it down.

Xu Yi had never shown the same hostility as a few days ago, and after a cup of tea was in his stomach, Qin Fuping had a vague tendency to relax.

Qin Fuping slowly returned the teacup to its place, and tried to speak in the calmest tone: "What the six princes want to know, even if they mention it, Qin will definitely know everything. ”

Perhaps, getting straight to the point is Qin Fuping's best choice at present.

Xu Yi smiled and said straight to the point: "In this way, the official will be offended." ”

The words fell.

Xu Yi calmly looked into Qin Fuping's eyes, and slowly asked, "Dare to ask Qin Shilang, what role do you play in this disaster relief?" ”

Xu Yi said Qin Shilang, and you gave Qin Fuping the respect he deserved.

At the same time, he also expressed his fundamental attitude towards this matter.

Qin Fuping smiled bitterly, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Qin is just a pawn. ”

"Pawn?" Xu Yi's heart sank, and he groaned and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

If even a Zhengsanpin master is just a pawn, then it is conceivable how powerful the mastermind behind it is.

A trace of struggle flashed in Qin Fuping's eyes, and he exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and did not directly answer Xu Yi's question.

Instead, he asked rhetorically: "How do the six princes know about the current situation?" ”

Xu Yi's eyelids drooped, and he replied with a sigh: "Why should Qin Shilang do this more, this official has lived in Zongzheng Temple for eight years", when no one knows today, no one knows, in Zongzheng Temple, how can this official know the general trend of the world. ”

Qin Fuping shook in his heart when he heard this, and instantly reacted that he had said the wrong thing.

couldn't help but slap his head again and again, and said apologetically: "I haven't stayed up late for a long time, I'm confused, I hope the six princes will forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Yi waved his hand, and he didn't seem to care on the surface, but in fact, he was already vigilant in his heart.

Qin Fuping arched his hand, no longer sold Guanzi, and said in a low voice: "There are only you and me here, and I hope that the six princes can do it without saying anything." ”

Xu Yi nodded and said calmly: ".

Rest assured, this integrity is still there. ”

"Whew~!"

Qin Fuping exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and it didn't matter what he thought about Xu Yi's words.

At this point, he had long since lost all options.

Qin Fu calmed down, looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes, and whispered, "Internal and external troubles." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically again.

Qin Fuping glanced left and right, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Since the decisive battle of Mobei, in more than ten years, the Huns have already recovered most of their vitality. ”

"Now, the Xiongnu in border passes and other places are already ready to move."

"I'm afraid that in less than three years, the Huns will deduct the edge again."

Xu Yi's face did not change, and he asked in a low voice: "How can you see it?" ”

Qin Fuping smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and replied in a low voice: "In this year, Qin has already interrogated more than 20 Huns. ”

"You know, in previous years, it was already a great achievement to be able to catch the number of Huns in two palms a year, but this year it was enough to catch more than 20 Huns to work carefully, what does this mean, the six princes can imagine."

The Huns hundreds of years ago may have been a group of blood-drinking people.

But with hundreds of years of continuous attacks and plundering with the Han regime.

In the past two or three hundred years, the Xiongnu have already completed a great transformation, or it can be understood as sinicization.

If it weren't for this, how could the Great Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasty attack it for two or three hundred years, and they would have been defeated and expelled every time.

And it is impossible to completely exterminate the race.

Wisdom, strategy, tactics, these things are also not lacking in the Huns.

Xu Yi settled down, skipped this topic, and then asked, "What about the internal worries in Qin Shilang's mouth?" ”

The matter of the Huns was still too far away for Xu Yi at this time.

Qin Fuping approached again and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people." ”

"Huh?" Xu Yi snorted, pretending to be puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Qin Fuping sighed and said in a low voice: "Taxes, land, palace avenue hall." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Fuping slowly sat up straight and closed his mouth tightly, his meaning was self-evident.

It's not easy to say that.

Xu Yi's eyelids drooped, and his mind kept thinking about the deep meaning of Qin Fuping's words.

The first two items are easy to associate.

In order to conquer the Xiongnu, Emperor Zhengde had already exhausted the savings left by his ancestors, but he had to send it.

The last battle of Mobei alone can almost be said to be a battle with the strength of the whole country.

Naturally, the power of the whole country here is just the court's words.

As for whether the people are really willing, it is completely out of the scope of consideration of the court.

Fortunately, this battle was won by a narrow margin.

If it is defeated, the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably face the biggest crisis since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

There are strong enemies outside, and there are rebellions among the people.

Internal and external troubles are not just talking.

The land is better understood, the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded for more than 200 years, and countless large and small wealthy families were born.

The birth of a wealthy family is naturally inseparable from the so-called land annexation.

The more disaster a year comes, the more serious the land annexation will become.

It can be said that the disaster year is only a disaster year for the people, and for the wealthy families, the disaster year means a godsend.

Heaven or not, what can people do?

As for the palace avenue, it is not difficult to guess the actual purpose of this palace just by looking at the word avenue.

Under Xu Yi's lowered eyelids, a cold light suddenly burst out.

The cold light was fleeting, and because Xu Yi's eyelids were drooping, he was not abnormally distracted by Qin Fuping.

In just an instant, Xu Yi linked the four keywords of Chang Shuirong, Great Dao Palace, Emperor Zhengde, and the scourge of witches.

It turned out that this was the fundamental reason why Chang Shuirong brought up the scourge of witchcraft again. _o_m

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi did not shy away from exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you Qin Shilang for your advice." ”

"The sixth prince is polite." Qin Fuping waved his hand, and then sighed: "This time, the six princes can understand why first.

Former Qin said that he was a pawn. ”

Xu Yi nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Qin Fuping didn't seem to say anything, but he said everything.

Eight years ago, the witch curse caused by Emperor Zhengde's physical discomfort.

It's only been eight years, and the bones of the former prince may not have been cold.

Eight years ago, only a few people knew the core story of the witch curse.

Regardless of whether there is Xu Yong in this person who knows.

At this time, the last person who wants to repeat the mistakes of the former prince is Xu Yong.

Empathy.

If Xu Yi is Xu Yong, then Xu Yi definitely doesn't want to sit still.

If you don't want to sit still, you must really have your own power.

And how can building up power be as simple as words?

The establishment of every great power is inseparable from countless amounts of money.

The court officials may be able to die for you with just one promise because of your status as the crown prince.

However, ordinary people, or ordinary soldiers, do not.

For them, who is the emperor and his own business?

Where does all this money come from? Could it be that Xu Yong's upper lip touched his lower lip and went to the household to ask for silver?

After thinking about it, I am afraid that what is in front of Xu Yong is only about the road of the great drought.

In this way, all the causes and consequences are unusually clear.

Xu Yi settled down, got up and arched his hand: "Thank you Qin Shilang for your guidance." ”

"The sixth prince is polite." Qin Fuping quickly got up and returned the salute respectfully.

Then he spoke again: "Qin's words today also ask the six princes not to pass it on to others. ”

Xu Yi nodded heavily, and reassured again: "Qin Shilang can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Qin Fuping finally breathed a sigh of relief. @

I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in my heart.

I secretly made up my mind to pay attention, no matter what, I must avoid Xu Yi in the future.

When an immortal of this level fights, he doesn't want to get into trouble yet.

After a few pleasantries.

Xu Yi personally sent Qin Fuping outside the door.

As for Zhou Qiping's case and whether Qin Fuping was corrupt, this kind of question is no longer important.

Horse pawn, horse pawn, what is a horse pawn?

If it is useless to ask too many questions, then why should it only add to the troubles of others?

After all, this time and that time.

After bidding farewell to Qin Fuping.

When Xu Yi turned around and walked back to the study of the inner house.

The sky quietly bloomed with a brilliant red light.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.
