Chapter 142, silent and thoughtful

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lu Zhaoyi turned around sharply and looked behind him, but the eyes of Ying Xue and Qu Zhiyun were a little deep.

"Qi Niang ......"

As soon as Qu Zhiyun spoke, she was immediately interrupted.

"Did Your Majesty win the Battle of Guanzhong?" Lu Zhaoyi asked straight to the point.

"That's right." Qu Zhiyun nodded, "Your Majesty led a large army to break through Gaoling City, and within three days after that, all the clans in Guanzhong surrendered one after another, and now the leaders of the Guanzhong clan are Xue Cifeng and Du Yu."

This is clearly in line with expectations.

Since Lu Zhaoyi confirmed that Xue Cifeng was Xia Pei's henchman, she could guess that on this day, it was not surprising that the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the Xue family, replaced the original Wang clan and became the new leader of the scholar clan in Guanzhong.

"What about the Wangs? Did some of them flee north, in the direction of the state and the Xianbei tribe?"

"Yes!" Qu Zhiyun bowed her head a little and replied, not looking so incredible.

And then, her question was even more direct, "Wang Rong and Wei Ci, presumably Your Majesty has already sent someone to Shangluo, wait for me to go back and deal with it, right?"

The two people she just mentioned were the Taishou of Feng Yijun and Beidi County four years ago, judging from all the clues, these two people are absolutely inseparable from Lu Yong's death.

"Where's your side?" She didn't pause for a moment, and immediately turned her head to ask Xiang Yingxue, "In the past two days, you have been in contact with Xu Shen, what have you learned?"

This series of questions made Ying Xue stunned, he didn't expect Lu Zhaoyi to suddenly ask so urgently.

But Ying Xue still took a deep breath, immediately surrendered her hand, and responded: "Xu Shen has fully told me that the case four years ago was indeed committed by Wang Rong, but he is not sure whether this person is the mastermind."

These days, running back and forth in Guanzhong, Lu Zhaoyi can also guess one or two.

Perhaps the Wang family, as the head of the Guan Sergeant clan, has a deeper hidden force behind it.

If this force cannot be thoroughly dug out, I am afraid that in the future, in the future, the great abyss, in a few generations, maybe only forty or fifty years, once the imperial power declines, this country will not be able to be saved, and it will even cause even greater disasters.

When she knew what she wanted to know, Lu Zhaoyi didn't hesitate, and she didn't need to ask anything.

The whole thing in the pass is also gradually coming to an end, and the only mystery is that the sergeant clan in this pass, who will be the force behind it?

Maybe the answer is already coming out in her heart, but she still can't confirm it, and wants to discuss it with the fifth Langya again.

"Qi Niang ......"

Watching her run all the way out, Qu Zhiyun and Ying Xue behind her also hurriedly followed.

But as soon as he got out of the yard, under the cherry tree, Wei Heng was pushing the fifth Langya who was sitting in a wheelchair, as if he wanted to leave here.

Really......

He's going to run!

"Fifth ......," Lu Zhaoyi shouted in a deep voice. Over there, Wei Heng's hand on the cart paused, as if he was at a loss.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't hesitate, and walked forward quickly, "Old horseman, are you going to leave so soon? Are you going to your broken grass house in Xiangyang? Or do you want to go to Chang'an to find Your Majesty?

The fifth Langya's face was still quiet, without any fluctuations.

He waved his feather fan lightly and replied faintly, "How do you speak? Do I look old?"

"If you want to go to Chang'an, I also want to go back to Shangluo, let's ...... on the way Talk slowly......" At the end, Lu Zhaoyi's tone slowed down, one hand on his wheelchair, staring at him without squinting.

"That...... Gou Chen, ah......" Fifth Langya's face was embarrassed, "I have a military order with me, and I must quickly join Your Majesty. What's more, I left a message for Qian'er, you can talk to him......

As he spoke, he slapped his fan and asked Wei Heng to leave.

Wei Heng immediately understood, and hurriedly pushed the fifth Langya, walking away from the peach forest quickly.

"Qi Niang, do you want to follow?" Qu Zhiyun asked.

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head, "Don't follow, let's go by ourselves."

"What about Li Qian?" Ying Xue interjected again, "Mr. Fang Cai said that Li Qianqian ......."

"No...... Presumably, Li Qian has already taken the old man, and rushed back to Luojing with the evidence of Lu Lin's crime that he had hidden, along with people, and he couldn't catch up."

She knew very well in her heart that one of the purposes of the fifth Langya and Li Qian's trip was to find the handle of Lu Lin.

People like him have always taken one step and thought three steps, and when the Guanzhong incident is completely resolved, the next focus will be shifted to the court.

Du Yan, Lu Lin, Wu Chong, etc., these opponents on the bright side, there are many unknown opponents.

If you want to fight in the court in the future and occupy the initiative, you need to first grasp the details of these opponents, so as to be invincible.

Li Qian took the old peasants and those bamboo slips back to Beijing, which was about Lu Lin's handle.

Wu Chong was born in Nanling, and in the eyes of the fifth Langya, he was just a defeated general.

Jiang Zuo's Du Yan, because of the Huainan County incident last year, his status in the DPRK and China has been greatly weakened.

And in the end, the fifth Langya and Wei Heng went not to Chang'an, but to Chenggu County, Hanzhong County.

The current Jingzhao County Taishou Xu Lu is from this place.

But this incident made Lu Zhaoyi unable to figure it out, and couldn't help muttering, "Fifth, what are you going to do with Xu Lu's trouble?"

Hearing this, Qu Zhiyun beside her immediately realized.

"I'm sorry, Qi Niang, you haven't been in Beijing for the past few months, and I haven't told you anything about the court."

While explaining, his face also showed a slight shame.

"It's okay, Zhiyun, don't blame yourself, let's go first, shall we? On the way, you tell me about the current layout of the court."

She was just about to leave, and immediately realized that under the peach tree not far away, Xu Shen was still sitting quietly.

Xu Shen raised his eyes, looked at her, looked a little ashamed, and walked over step by step.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi was slightly stunned, turned to him and bowed his head, led him over, and said, "Ying Xue has already told me, what else do you have to explain, let's listen to it."

Hearing this, Xu Shen's face flashed a little uncomfortable, he lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Zhaoyi, if Brother Yi can see you, he will definitely be relieved to have the ability here. It's me who is too cowardly to face all this."

"Okay, Uncle Xu, I don't blame you, in such a world, fear is not a shameful thing. Perhaps, Uncle Xu is a great general, he is not afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he does not have the courage to face power, which is normal."

Her voice, not hurried, as if it was a cup of tea, tepid, but unconsciously precipitated.

"I ......"

Xu Shen's voice was slightly hoarse, looking at Lu Zhaoyi in front of him, he didn't dare to speak.

And she didn't urge, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said softly, "Uncle Xu, go back!" Shanglona Villa is a good place, you are not young, this world, leave it to our generation, we will take good care of this hard-won peace."

Xu Shen was stunned for a long time before finally nodding, turned around, and prepared to leave the peach forest.

After not taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around again and said solemnly, "Behind the Wang clan, there should be a force that has not yet emerged...... It should be the Northern Yi tribe!"

After listening to it, I saw that her face was silent, as if she had guessed.

"Original...... You guessed it."

With that, he turned and left the place.

"Shall we go?" Lu Zhaoyi said to Ying Xue and Qu Zhiyun.

"Good!"

She turned around, looked at the peach blossoms, and suddenly smiled, "Although the peach blossoms are beautiful, there are many dangers in this fragrance of flowers, after all, ...... It's not real!"

The peach blossoms were blooming, but she had no intention of appreciating them, turned around, and walked towards the outside of the peach orchard.

This time, the three of them rode horses together, galloped together, and went back to the inn.

"Seven Ladies."

As soon as they came back, Zhang Youzhi trotted all the way, looking panicked, "My subordinates saw that the people of the fifth lieutenant were divided into two groups and went out all the way to Wuguan."

Lu Zhaoyi, who had just jumped off the horse, walked up to him and stretched out his hand,

Pushing a finger on his forehead, he couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you think it's a big deal...... What a fuss."

"No ......"

Zhang Youzhi's face was full of doubts, and he turned to look at the person behind him, "Shadow Snow Lady, Seventh Lady, she is ......

"Don't make a fuss, do you hear that?" After that, Ying Xue took Qu Zhiyun, and the two girls entered the post house with a smile on their faces.

In the post house, it was prepared for about half a day, and early the next morning, the team set off again and returned to Shangluo.

Taking this opportunity, Qu Zhiyun also talked all the way about the pattern of the court in Luojing.

Now in the imperial court, with the right minister Du Yan once again in charge of the center, the power of Shangshutai, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and the three provinces has been restricted.

And Sikong Wu Chong, in order to compete with Du Yan, has been supporting the three provinces both openly and secretly.

As for Situ Lulin, he actually formed an alliance with Wu Chong, except for Menxia Province, the other two provinces were more or less stuffed into it, and many officials from the former Jing State.

The court became more and more intense, until later, Xia Pei actually issued an edict to let Xu Lu go back and take over the position of provincial commander of Zhongshu, in order to balance the forces of several factions in the court.

But Xu Lu was in Guanzhong and was kidnapped, so the post of Zhongshu Provincial Commander has not been changed for a long time.

"That's not right, is it?" Lu Zhaoyi was a little puzzled, "What about Wei Dan? If Xu Lu becomes the provincial commander, where will Wei Dan be arranged?"

Qu Zhiyun immediately explained, "That's it! Now Shangshutai has been changed to Shangshu Province, and according to the new policy you gave to Shadow Rain, Your Majesty immediately agreed."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaoyi didn't expect it, "Your Majesty has established the Six Divisions?"

"His Majesty only agreed to set up four departments under Shangshu Province first, namely the four departments of workers, officials, soldiers, and rites. Moreover, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites must be approved by the Nine Secretaries and the Great Hung Lu Qing before they can be implemented."

"Sure enough......"

Lu Zhaoyi sighed.

She knows that above the current court, the three princes and nine ministers are still powerful, and they can't pull them down at all, even if the system is decaying and backward, it will take a long time to completely decline.

And her advocacy of establishing six departments to replace Jiuqing is too advanced, and it is not surprising that she is blocked everywhere.

For this matter, Xia Peineng, as the emperor, agreed, and it was already under tremendous pressure and the death advice of the court ministers that this system could be implemented.

You can imagine how difficult this is. Z.br>

While thinking about it, she didn't realize that Qu Zhiyun was still talking.

"The Wei Dan you just mentioned was transferred by His Majesty to serve as the commander of the Ministry of Officials."

"Speaking of Xu Lu, before others went back, many of his cronies entered the important official office one after another, as if everything had been laid out in advance, I really don't know, others were obviously kidnapped, and Luo Jing made such a big move......

Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were solemn and deep in thought, and at the end of this question, she immediately interrupted the conversation and said three words coldly.

"I see......
