Chapter 127: Stratagem
Feng Zhirong turned around and looked back at Yuzhu and Fang Chun's faces, but she didn't notice anything wrong, and they seemed to ignore themselves and walked to the gate of Qiangong Courtyard as usual to guard.
Speaking of which, there would have been two palace maids guarding the entrance of the courtyard where each young lady lived in the Anxiu Palace - this is the rule of the Anxiu Palace, and it is also the rule of each courtyard in the palace, as long as there is a house, there must be a pair of palace maids to guard, and whether it is the palace maid or the chamberlain, they have to walk in pairs, there is no exception - even if the close attendants next to the emperor and queen lead the way, there will be a small attendant to follow.
Feng Zhirong had asked before, all the palace maids guarding in Anxiu Palace were the queen's mothers, without the queen's mother's words, even if they saw anything, they wouldn't say anything outside, even if they saw anything here, at most, they would inform Hong Shu, and Hong Shu's decision would be made.
However, there are also a few places in Anxiu's palace where the queen allows her own son, King Jing, to install eyeliner in order to spy on some official daughters - those young ladies may not be able to hide their mouths on weekdays, and occasionally reveal some information related to the elders in the family, which can allow King Jing to learn some news from it, and then report to the emperor.
Of course, Feng Zhirong is a special case here, and the two palace maids guarding the gate of Qiangong Courtyard are really used to take care of her.
Feng Zhirong watched Yuzhu and Fang Chun walk to the gate of the Qiangong Courtyard again, and even blocked the door of this small courtyard with her body, which was different from usual, and said to King Jing: "Go in and say?" ”
King Jing bowed his head and didn't say anything more, and the two attendants who followed him each held a small box in their hands, like a first-aid kit for later generations, or even a little bigger, as if it contained some confidential documents.
After the two entered the study, the two attendants put the boxes in their hands on the table and stepped back, standing farther away than the door of the study.
"Today afternoon is the palace banquet, and it will be noon now, but there is something urgent?"
King Jing bowed his head again, and then directly opened one of the boxes, which contained a book with a blue cover. He picked up all the books and pried open the bottom board, from which he took out a piece of leather the size of a human torso.
Feng Zhirong stared at the leather, although it was the first time she saw it, she also vaguely noticed that something was wrong: "This leather is not very right, it looks like it has been written." ”
King Jing bowed his head again, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said, "This is a secret letter stolen by my people from the north. ”
"Can it be seen when it's dried over fire?" Feng Zhirong had heard Feng Xu say that the northerners always protected important documents in this way, and it was difficult to inquire one by one by mixing the leather with the goods, and Daye had suffered a little loss in the past, and later he used such a communication channel to plan and plot against the northern countries.
King Jing said: "This is something intercepted from Xiantuo, some military planes are written on it, I have to have someone remake a fake information and hand it over, and it must be fast." ”
Feng Zhirong listened to it, so she went to the drawer on the side to get a pen, ink and paper, and said, "What do you want me to write?" …… I'll have to draw up a draft first, but if it's hard to imitate, I'm afraid I'll have to ask someone to simulate it. ”
King Jing said: "Mr. Siyi Pavilion is good at simulophone, Mingqing said that although he can understand these words, if you want to draw up a sentence like their usual time, you have the best chance to do it." ”
Feng Zhirong has already begun to grind ink: "I can only say that I will do my best and will do my best, but this has to try my luck and see if they can distinguish it." Even though she was a foreign language major in her previous life and had been honed abroad for a long time, she still has a gap with native speakers in her home country - if ordinary casual conversation can reach the level of indistinguishable pronunciation, if you want to go deeper, you will begin to feel that you are not familiar enough with the subtleties of her culture.
King Jing bowed his head and said, "You just do your best." With that, he picked out one of the many books taken out of the box, spread it out, and said, "This is the word that Ming Qing copied from this sheepskin, and he said that these do not need to be translated, so as not to let those who have a heart see it." As he spoke, he took the initiative to reach out and take the ink strip from Feng Zhirong's hand, and began to grind the ink for her.
Feng Zhirong picked up the book and looked at it carefully, but the more she looked at it, the deeper the knot in her eyebrows, and she spoke after a while: "The country of Liuliu is a vassal state in the guard, right?" How did they privately deliver such news to Xiantuo? ”
King Jing also had a calm face: "There is no real power in the position of the king of the country, that is, it is governed by the three vassal states of the West, the South and the East. ”
Feng Zhirong said very uncertainly: "Although what he wrote in this letter is all about trade exchanges, this trade thing ...... It should be a commercial goods that they don't have in their territory, and I think it's hinting at something, and maybe it will implicate our Daye. ”
King Jing said: "This is their code word, the goods on it are mainly produced in the southerner Jiutuo and Daye, I am afraid they want to make a fuss about these." ”
Feng Zhirong pursed her lips and looked at it again, and then said: "This Eagle Liuguo is a big thought, he wants to exchange the land of Dongfang Eagle Fighting for his own position, and Gu Tuo wants to be destroyed by the hands of Daye...... The three families went to two families, and the guard was in full control. ”
"I think so too, but at the moment, it is not easy to start a war in the north of Daye, and when the war is protracted, if it is not done well, it will drag on through the winter, and then the livelihood of the people and the army in the north will not be able to withstand the harsh winter that is coming."
Feng Zhirong sighed and said, "Speaking of which, in the past ten years, Daye should have placed a lot of people in the northern countries, right?" Otherwise, such a letter would not have been intercepted, so why not let the people over there deal with it themselves? ”
King Jing said: "It's not easy to put in the details, if they are allowed to deal with it, they are also at risk of being exposed, and now it is not time to let them be exposed." ”
Feng Zhirong nodded and said, "So, what do you want to do?" ”
"Xian Tuo and the border eagle have been in trouble for a long time, and it is also thanks to the eagle bucket that has shared a lot of our pressure, and the relationship between the dove and my Daye in the south has also been soothing recently, and they only hope that the eagle can block Xian Tuo for them, so that they will not be replaced by the responsibility of confronting Xian Tuo - in this way, if the eagle wants to sacrifice the eagle bucket, and let the pigeon top the position they don't want to top, it will make the eagle and the dove to go on the same line...... Therefore, if I want to return, I will give the same benefit, but I will have to ask them for a lot of things. ”
