Luoyang, then under the gate of heaven.

Pei Yan walked outside calmly, and at this time, a voice came from behind: "Brother Zilong." ”

Pei Yan was slightly stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Yuan Wanqing chasing after him.

Seeing Pei Yan, Yuan Wanqing said with a smile: "I heard that the Criminal Department is being troubled by the prince again. ”

Pei Yan nodded with a flat face, as if the person who had just been criticized in the Qianyang Hall was not him.

Yuan Wanqing's face calmed down at the same time, and asked, "What happened to the matter that I asked Brother Zilong to investigate last time?" ”

Pei Yan was also solemn, his eyes swept around, only to find that the officials around him didn't know when they had disappeared.

Then only the two of them were left under the gate of heaven.

Pei Yan then spoke: "Everything in the Nanchang palace is quiet, and the princess of Nanchang doesn't often go out on weekdays, so if you have something, you either go to the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, or you can find Qin Ming, the general of Zuo Jinwu Weilang, and Wei Wei Siqing occasionally comes to the door, in addition, there is also the princess who often goes, and the others are gone." ”

"It seems that that incident should have nothing to do with King Nanchang." Yuan Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his face became solemn again.

Pei Yan bowed slightly, and said: "You are right, it should have nothing to do with the King of Nanchang, and the Nanchang Royal Mansion does not have much strength to do these things." ”

"Then there's only one left." Yuan Wanqing looked up at Pei Yan.

"There should only be one left." Pei Yan raised his head and looked at the Qianyang Hall in front of him.

"Brother Zilong, don't think nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with the palace." Yuan Wanqing shook his head directly and said, "Because until now, the palace doesn't know if he is dead or not?" ”

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

If Ming Chongyan was killed by someone in the palace, then there will always be a trace of strangeness in the palace in other aspects, whether it is the queen of heaven or the emperor, it is the same.

But now, even the emperor and the queen of martial arts have to ask every other day.

This alone is enough to make people understand that this matter has nothing to do with the two saints.

"So, in the East Palace, there is still a group of people?" Pei Yan immediately understood.

"So I want to ask Brother Zilong to do me another favor." Yuan Wanqing bowed slightly.

Pei Yan waved his hand and said, "Brother Wan Qing said directly. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made an eight-foot-high undersea tree from the southeast this time, and I heard that he has used a lot of manpower from King Yue and King Cao, and now I want to ask someone from the Criminal Department to check it." Yuan Wanqing threw out a piece of news that Pei Yan didn't know at all.

"It turns out that this is the gift that the crown prince gave to His Majesty." Pei Yan suddenly understood.

Then he looked up at Yuan Wanqing, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Wanqing, these things, the secret guards themselves can find out, why use the manpower of the Criminal Department, and since that year, the Criminal Department has become more and more difficult to act in the southeast...... It turned out that he was using the hands of the criminal department as bait. ”

Pei Yan suddenly understood.

After that incident that year, Pei Yan offended a lot of big families in the southeast, and the people from the Criminal Department would be noticed immediately.

Yuan Wanqing is now going to take advantage of this and use the people from the Criminal Department as bait to investigate the affairs of King Cao and King Yue.

It's the same as staring at the Nanchang Palace and the East Palace before.

Although the people in the Criminal Department are veterans, they are not as professional as the secret guards after all, and when their deeds fall in the eyes of the Nanchang Palace and the East Palace, it is when the secret guards begin to act actively.

"Brother Zilong has thought too much." Yuan Wanqing shook his head with a smile and said: "You don't need to check the affairs of the southeast, it will naturally show your feet after a long time, and now the important thing is the matter of Luoyang." ”

"Luoyang!" Pei Yan immediately understood and said, "This time, King Cao and King Yue will also enter Beijing to celebrate His Majesty's birthday." ”

"In fact, except for those like the king of Nanchang, almost all the other princes of the clan and the prince of the county will return to Chang'an to celebrate His Majesty," Yuan Wanqing looked up at Pei Yan and said seriously: "Except for the kind of person who talks about Qinling, no one dares to brush the tiger whiskers of the Tang Dynasty at this time." ”

Pei Yan nodded in agreement, and then asked, "So this time, can the King of Nanchang get out of the way?" ”

Li Xuan's march has been sent to Chang'an, and now it has gradually spread.

Pei Yan, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, is still qualified to see it.

"I don't know, Brother Zilong should understand that the King of Nanchang has already marched into Subi, and if there are any achievements, the news should be transmitted back on His Majesty's birthday." Yuan Wanqing sighed with emotion and said: "Actually, Wanqing also hopes that the king of Nanchang can be a character like the champion of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Pei Yan's eyes narrowed, in addition to the military merits of the champion Hou, the most important thing is that he has a short life.

It is almost the current age of the king of Nanchang.

To be precise, he is four years older than King Nanchang.

"God is jealous of talents!" Pei Yan suddenly looked at Yuan Wanqing faintly and said, "Four years should be enough for the King of Nanchang to win some Luo." ”

Yuan Wanqing nodded slightly, and said: "Nanchang Wang Bingfeng is fierce, Wanqing feels that the DPRK and China should help each other, and after taking Luo, it is best to take a walk in the northwest......"

"The battlefield is dangerous." Pei Yan's eyes were faint, they were all people who had read history books, of course, they all knew that Huo Qu's illness was because he had killed too much, which caused the rivers and lakes to be full of corpses.

He himself just drew water in these rivers and lakes full of corpses, and finally fell ill and died.

But how could he drink water indiscriminately, it was nothing more than killing too far, and the logistics couldn't keep up.

The two looked at each other, already tacitly acknowledging each other.

"Recently, the East Palace has been relatively quiet." Yuan Wanqing easily changed the topic.

"Huh!" Pei Yan sneered, the silence of the East Palace was actually saying that the prince would focus on what he really needed to do, rather than other messy places.

As soon as the prince concentrated on court politics, someone immediately became unlucky.

This person is mainly Pei Yan.

Today is the third time that Pei Yan has been called into the palace by the emperor to reprimand him this month.

Yuan Wanqing paused slightly, and then said: "Those people in the East Palace have done a lot of things secretly, but there should be other people behind these people, otherwise with these people alone, they won't be able to kill Shiyin Zhenren." ”

Pei Yan's expression became solemn, and he couldn't help nodding in agreement.

"One last thing." Yuan Wanqing motioned for Pei Yan to go out, the two of them had been here for a while.

No matter how long it is, it will inevitably attract attention.

"Trouble Brother Zilong to find some people to help lead Gao Qi to Jiashanfang." As soon as Yuan Wanqing finished speaking, Pei Yan was immediately stunned.

He looked at Yuan Wanqing and said, "Brother Wanqing, Jiashanfang is the territory of the Hu people, and even the Turkic mission is there, how could Gao Qi go to that kind of place?" ”

"Let's just say, there is news of the real people in the world." Yuan Wanqing's fluttering words, Pei Yan suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

Not long ago, Yuan Wanqing asked Pei Yan to spread the news to the outside world, indicating that Chongyan finally disappeared in Turkic.

Now it is necessary to guide the people of the East Palace to meet with the Turks.

Don't be too obvious.

If there is really a little bit of leakage, Pei Yan will immediately be in big trouble.

Even if he will escape it for a while now, once he is taken out in the future, it will be a big crime to raid his house and destroy his house.

"You can do it." Pei Yan agreed very simply.

Yuan Wanqing was slightly stunned, turned to look at Pei Yan, and asked, "Is Brother Zilong serious?" ”

"Is Brother Wan Qing serious?" Pei Yan asked directly, and Yuan Wanqing couldn't help but be stunned.

Pei Yan strode forward, and said at the same time: "The Criminal Department will help protect the Turks, and for other things, please forgive Zilong Ai can't help." ”

For such a big thing, Yuan Wanqing's light 'help' will make Pei Yan gamble on huge political risks.

How could he possibly do such a thing.

And the person who said this was only Yuan Wanqing, not the queen of heaven.

When Ming Chong is here, he will be much more thoughtful.

is not like Yuan Wanqing, who regards everyone in the world as a fool.

What was he calculating, he really thought that Pei Yan couldn't see it.

This kind of calculation of the prince, if he gets the direct instruction of the queen of heaven, Pei Yan will naturally respect everything, but Yuan Wanqing's current is obviously his own calculation.

How could a person like Pei Yan follow in the footsteps of Li Guangli because of Yuan Wanqing's simple words.

Jiang Chong and Li Guangli did abolish Emperor Wu's crown prince Liu Gui, but afterwards, Emperor Wu repented.

All the participants were killed.

What made Pei Yan feel even more uncomfortable was Yuan Wanqing's posture of standing behind him and calculating, and letting him charge in front.

The current Yuan Wanqing is not yet the prime minister.

……

Looking at Pei Yan's figure in the distance, Yuan Wanqing frowned tightly, how could Pei Yan be like this, these are all divas......

With a cold snort, Yuan Wanqing turned around and returned to the north gate.

Without him Pei Yan, wouldn't things be possible?

It's a big deal to be rude, anyway, it's more in line with the Turkic temperament.

……

Southeast of the Imperial City, Sigong Fang.

Pengcheng County Mansion.

Liu Renliang walked in the small garden in the backyard, and Liu Jinyu helped Liu Renliang to walk on the side.

"Sanniang, you haven't been here for several years, have you?" Liu Renliang was standing on the stone bridge, looking at the flowing water below, and sighed in his heart.

"Since the death of the filial piety emperor, Lang Jun has been fighting abroad, and his granddaughter is not summoned by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, and it is not easy to leave Chang'an." Liu Jinyu smiled sweetly and said, "If Lang Jun is recalled to the center and accompanies His Majesty on his eastern tour every year, his granddaughter will be able to come to accompany Ah Weng every day." ”

Liu Renliang turned his head sideways and looked at the high wall on the east side, and behind the high wall, there was the Jade Dragon Garden of Nanchang Palace.

This time on the emperor's birthday, Liu Jinyu rushed to Luoyang with Princess Peng and Ouyang.

Separated by a wall, she can come to accompany her grandfather every day.

You know, back then, she was in this courtyard every day, helping her grandfather deal with official documents.

"Siniang told Sanniang that she wanted to open a small door on the wall, so that it would be more convenient to come and go, but Sanniang felt that there was still a mother concubine at home, so she didn't do it." Liu Jinyu whispered.

Liu Renliang immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Your concerns are right, you still have to have rules to act."

Although the Nanchang Royal Mansion and my family are close relatives, we must pay attention to the eyes of outsiders, otherwise it will be very inappropriate to give and receive a sentence privately. ”

After all, Li Xuan is the king of the clan and the governor of the border state.

Although he and Liu Renliang's family are sons-in-law, and the two families are separated, others may not say anything, but once they get through privately, they will immediately be charged with collusion.

"It's not a matter of a few more steps anyway." Liu Jinyu smiled and said, "How is the congratulatory gift prepared by Yue Weng's family? ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Liu Renliang looked at Liu Jinyu, sighed lightly, and said, "You want to ask about your father-in-law, right?" ”

Liu Jinyu bowed her head a little shyly.

Liu Renliang shook his head and said: "Tell you, Ah Weng doesn't know either, no one has known since he sent troops, but his strategy is fine, it's just ......."

"How?" Liu Jinyu's face was suddenly surprised.

"Some people suspect that the king of Nanchang has a secret agent in private to spy on the military intelligence for him, do you know about this?" Liu Renliang's face was solemn.

"Yes!" Liu Jinyu looked uncertain, and said: "It is the guard of the king of Nanchang, used as an envoy of secret agents, this matter has been recorded by the secret guards, Guanglu heirs, and Zongzheng Temple, and even the military report of the military department has asked for merit, but because of the palace guards, only money was rewarded......"

Seeing that Liu Jinyu seemed to think of something, Liu Renliang was speechless: "Your father-in-law is calculating people again!" ”

Liu Jinyu lowered her head and smiled.

There was a sound of footsteps, and suddenly there was a sound at the backyard door.

Liu Renliang looked up in surprise and saw Liu Yuanlang and Dou Sitai standing at the door of the backyard with the same solemn faces.

"Father, the crown prince's birthday gift to His Majesty has been stolen."
