Yan Echo left the palace, returned to the East Palace, and convened the staff overnight.

Zhou Gu was studying the file of Nanchu, and someone from the East Palace came to say that the prince was invited, so he put down the file in his hand in confusion and rode to the East Palace.

He was the first to arrive, and after coming to the East Palace, he looked at Yan Echo, "Your Highness, is something wrong?" ”

Before he came, he heard that the palace urgently invited a doctor, and it was said that His Majesty's condition was serious again.

Yan Echo didn't hide it from Zhou Gu, and showed Zhou Gu the confession of the precious concubine, Zhou Gu quickly read it, and said, "It's not surprising." ”

He asked Yan Echo, "What does Your Highness plan to do?" ”

The Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei now seems to be a big problem in Daliang's internal affairs.

Yan Echo shook his head, "Lone hasn't thought about it yet, so let's call everyone to discuss." ”

Zhou Gu folded the file and handed it back to Yan Echo, involving His Majesty's fooled confession, naturally not everyone showed it, he said: "I want to quickly think of a proper way to remove Zhang Ping's military power." ”

Yan echoed his head, "I'm afraid it's not that easy." ”

Zhou Gu also knew that it was naturally not so easy, but because of this, it was imminent, and he pondered: "I originally planned to go to Nanping first, and then go to northern Hebei, otherwise I would go to northern Hebei first, right?" You must first find out how many soldiers and horses Zhang Ping has raised privately. ”

"It's just been released, your goal is too big and too dangerous." Yan Echo shook his head, "You just have to go to Nanping, Nanping Hou and Eighteen Villages, they can't make trouble either, and the Lone Club will send people to northern Hebei." ”

Zhou Gu thought to himself, so he gave up.

The two talked for a while, and the staff came in a hurry.

Yan Echo naturally didn't take out the file of the precious concubine, but simply mentioned that the precious concubine was doing things for Zhang Ping, the general of Pingxi in northern Hebei, Zhang Ping had ambitions to rebel, and now he gathered everyone late at night to brainstorm and see how to unload Zhang Ping's military power without blood. The staff were shocked, and they all felt that this matter was very tricky, and they discussed it one after another.

Su Rong returned to Dongsi Hutong, it was night, the lights were on in her yard, she pushed the door into the house, and sure enough, she saw Su Xing waiting for her.

She raised her eyebrows, "Big brother, are you worried about me again?" ”

Su Xing shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm used to it, it's better to worry about myself than to worry about you." ”

Su Rong was amused.

Su Xing asked her, "Did you go to the Protector's Mansion to see Zhou Gu?" Can you dismiss his plans? ”

Su Rong sat down and shook his head, "I can't beat it." ”

Su Xing knew, "So what? ”

Su Rong sighed helplessly, "Let him be!" ”

Su Xing looked at her.

Su Rong didn't want to talk about Zhou Gu, "I also went to the East Palace, and accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department to see the precious concubine." ”

Su Xing frowned, "Ran so many places? Tired? ”

"I was a little tired, so I didn't follow the prince to the palace." Su Rong briefly talked about the process of interrogating the precious concubine and the things that came out of the precious concubine's mouth, and then said: "Big brother, I may not stay in Beijing for long, I always feel that northern Hebei needs me to go on a trip." ”

Su Xing disagreed, "Northern Hebei is too dangerous, you can't go." ”

"Where is it not dangerous? Southern Chu is more dangerous than northern Hebei, I have to go, just northern Hebei. Su Rong pondered, "But this matter is not urgent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely send someone to northern Hebei to inquire about the news first, and then make military deployments, beware of chaos in northern Hebei, as for if you want to remove Zhang Ping's military power, it is not so easy, you have to find a suitable opportunity, or grasp Zhang Ping's weakness." ”

She knocked on the table, "I went to northern Hebei when I was a child, and I am familiar with northern Hebei, and I am also good at handling people's weaknesses." When I came back, I pondered all the way, and now there is really no one more suitable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than me. ”

Yan replied: "It's not good that you are too involved in the affairs of Daliang. ”

Su Rong smiled, "I don't think it's okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let me read all the files he has stored at will, and he will not guard against me for the Great Liang Dynasty." After all, whether it is public or private, I will not be unfavorable to the beam. Today's beam, but my mother sacrificed her life back then, and the beam under her protection, I can't live up to my mother's dedication, even if I become the king of Nanchu in the future, it is impossible for Nanchu to swallow the beam. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands very well in his heart. ”

Su Xing sighed, "That's right. ”

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "If I enter the court, I can go to northern Hebei, and I don't necessarily have to go to you." ”

Su Rong raised his eyebrows, "Northern Hebei is dangerous." ”

Su Xing smiled, "As you said, where is it not dangerous?" I stay in the capital, how can I make steady progress? Xingbei is my opportunity. ”

He said, sitting up straight, "What do you think?" ”

Su Rong didn't object, "It stands to reason that my brother should go to the Hanlin Academy for two years first, this is a formal procedure, but if you follow the irregularity, the sword will not be able to win a place." As you said, if you are successful, you must have the opportunity to climb the ladder. ”

She thought for a while, "If you don't want to enter Hanlin and want to be promoted through meritorious service in northern Hebei, then you have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with it." She pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible. ”

Su Xing said: "I'm going to see the prince tomorrow?" Or wait for the palace test to be conferred by His Majesty? Will it be too late?

Su Rong thought for a while, "If the eldest brother really has this plan, you will go to see the prince tomorrow to see what the prince's current plans and regulations are for northern Hebei, if His Royal Highness the prince also agrees with you to take this road, he will appoint you." ”

Su Xing bowed, "Okay." ”

Su Rong looked at Su Xingze, but he didn't expect that because of the precious concubine and the Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei, just a few words would make his eldest brother move his mind and change his mind from Hanlin to the court. It can be seen that there are many forks in the road in life, and choosing different forks in the road is just a thought.

Su Xing made up his mind, "Rest early, you have to travel tomorrow." ”

Su Rong nodded and waved his hand lazily, "Big brother go slowly." ”

Su Xing walked out of Su Rong's courtyard, and after she left, Su Rong turned around and went back to the house, she was indeed tired and fell asleep quickly.

On the second day, the sun was shining, and the carriage that returned to the snow at night came to Dongsi Hutong no morning or night.

Su Rong wore a plain dress, put on a white fox fur cloak, held a hand stove in his hand, went out of the mansion, and got into the car that returned to the snow at night.

There was only one person in the car who returned to the snow at night.

Su Rong smiled and asked, "What about Xiao Qiuying?" Didn't come again? ”

Ye Guixue smiled and shook her head.

Su Rong sat in the car, the curtain was lowered, and when she saw chess on the table, she asked with a smile: "Are you going to kill me all the way?" ”

"Yes, there is a plan." Ye Guixue smiled, "Yesterday, I heard my cousin say that no one is your opponent, and the game has never made you happy, so I thought that I would always have fun with you today." ”

Su Rong nodded, "Okay." ”

She remembered something, poked her head out with a smile, and ordered the coachman, "Go to Meishan Villa." Then he picked up one and said to the night snow: "Come." ”
