"Princess, shall we go home?"

Zhu'er saw that Yun Yige was stunned, and gently pushed her shoulder, Yun Yige nodded, it was not early, so she had to leave quickly, and took the carriage back to the palace with people and medicinal materials.

In the house, Xuan Ming was sitting in the main hall waiting for her, his face was not very good-looking, his eyes were gloomy, the food had been set on the table, and the maids and guards stood on both sides and did not dare to make a sound.

The prince has been sitting here for a long time, it seems that he is waiting for the princess, but the princess has been out for a long time and has not come back yet, the guard said that he was going out to look for it but was stopped by the prince, no one guessed Xuan Ming's thoughts, only knew that he was very unhappy at the moment.

As soon as Yun Yige walked into the palace, she felt this suffocating atmosphere, she walked to Xuan Ming's side and sat down, and told her about her encounter with Que Du in the medical hall, and Xuan Ming's condensed face gradually eased a little. Before she said that, Xuan Ming already knew everything that was going on in the medical hall.

He knew what kind of person Yun Yige was, but he still felt uncomfortable when he heard that he and the man were meeting outside. After listening to her explanation at the moment, I knew that she still cared about his feelings in her heart, so I was a little happier.

"In the future, if this kind of thing is inconvenient, you can leave it to me." Xuan Ming held Yun Yige's hand.

"Que Du and Xiao Yinchen have helped you and me, if necessary, if they need it, I will help them."

Xuan Ming said and scooped up a spoonful of mutton soup and put it in front of Yun Yige: "I'm tired these days, drink some soup to replenish my body." ”

"Okay."

Yun Yige drank the soup and listened to the recent events in the court of the Xuan Ming General. Recently, the most recent official changes are Qin Tianjian, from the Qin Tianjian to the chief supervisor to the supervisor have been replaced, Xuan Zheng also issued a decree, such as Qin Tianjian institutions, to conduct regular examinations, officials who do not have the ability to measure to be dismissed or transferred to other official positions.

Qin Tianjian has already changed blood, and he can't make any waves in the short term, and few people here dare to go against Xuan Ming.

"The people of Qin Tianjian have finished cleaning up, and next, it's the turn of the Ministry of Rites."

Dare to do anything on his big wedding date, none of these people can run.

"If the Ministry of Rites is moved, King Rui will definitely get the news. It is still unknown whether Xuan Yan and King Rui are secretly connected. ”

However, Xuan Yan is dead, it doesn't matter whether he was in cahoots with King Rui at the beginning, and last time King Rui blew up the coal mine in order to bring down the king and ignore the safety of the people, injuring innocent people and disregarding people's lives, he can no longer let him be a disaster for the court, and he can't be left behind.

"What is the prince going to do?" Yun Yige asked.

"I'm waiting for someone, waiting for news and evidence from him." This evidence can only be confirmed by the combination of Northern Chu and Nanyang.

Xuan Ming received news that when the Zhen family had not yet fallen, King Rui had colluded with the Zhen family to secretly sell the arms in the generals to Nanyang, and later the Zhen family fell, and King Rui found the Cao family in Jiangning to secretly transport arms.

"You mean, over the years, there have been arms stolen from time to time in the army, and it was King Rui who guarded and stole them?"

Yun Yige looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect these superiors to do anything in order to get power.

Every once in a while, a batch of munitions would be thrown into the army, and the soldiers guarding the munitions would either be beaten to death or executed according to the most cruel military discipline, and how many wives would be left without husbands and children without fathers.

For his own selfishness, King Rui did not care about the lives of these soldiers at all.

"Isn't King Rui afraid that after Nanyang has these weapons of Northern Chu, he will send troops to attack Northern Chu?"

Xuan Ming smiled and shook his head: "King Rui did not sell this batch of arms to the Nanyang royal family, but sold them to the four major families of Nanyang through the Cao family in the name of transporting silk cloth. ”

Yun Yige was slightly shocked, the four major families of Nanyang, the Guanqiu clan, the Daxi clan, the Nanrong clan, and the Dongfang clan are rich and rival the country, and there are contradictions between the families.

And when one or two of the families reach a certain amount of arms, they can use this to threaten the Nanyang court, either to obtain enough benefits, or to directly seek power and usurp the throne, and claim hegemony.

In the past, she had also heard that the four major families in Nanyang bought arms from everywhere, but she didn't expect that Beichu, which was short of arms and materials, was also the supplier of arms.

"It's really a good means, King Rui's move not only got his own silver, but also disrupted the situation in Nanyang, but King Rui doesn't seem to squander it like King Liwang on weekdays, where did all that silver go?"

"King Rui is raising private pawns and private soldiers."

Xuan Ming said lightly, and Yun Yige understood when he thought about it.

"With my understanding of King Rui, he is making preparations with both hands, if the imperial brother passes on the throne to him, these private soldiers can be used as a hidden force to deal with those who are disobedient in the court after he ascends the throne."

"If the imperial brother does not pass on the throne to him, he will rebel, after all, no matter whether the imperial brother passes the throne to the king of Li or the king of Rui, it is impossible for the two to let the other party live, and if the two tigers fight, one will die."

Yun Yi sang: "If it is the King of Dongrui, will you be in danger?" ”

That's what worries her the most.

"Whether King Rui sells the arms that are already in short supply in Northern Chu to the enemy country, or raises private pawns and private soldiers, it is a felony."

"I don't have anything, it's just that after I collect all the evidence, once I mention this matter to His Majesty, King Rui is afraid that he will not be able to sit still, and King Rui knows that you are my weakness, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you, and you must be careful when you go out in the future."

Xuan Ming held Yun Yige's hand tightly, and the thought of losing her made his heart hurt as if someone had torn her.

Yun Yige nodded, let him do it, she would protect herself, and try not to cause him trouble.

After chatting about King Rui, she suddenly thought of another member of the royal family: "Your Majesty, do you really want to marry the princess to the prince of Nanyang?" ”

At the palace banquet of the Dragon Boat Festival, Yun Yige saw the debauchery of the prince of Nanyang, and his frivolous words, he dared to be so presumptuous in Northern Chu, let alone went to Nanyang, if Xuan Wenduo marryed, I am afraid that he would suffer a lot in the future.

Moreover, Xuan Wenduo has been pampered in the palace since he was a child, and his temperament is lively and stubborn, he doesn't know how to look at people's faces and hide his true thoughts, for fear that he will offend people and be bullied.

"Although the imperial brother favors Xiaoba, if you want to avoid a possible battle between Northern Chu and Nanyang, harmony is the easiest way."

Xuan Ming said and noticed Zhan Yue standing at the door, and raised his hand to signal him to come in.

After Zhan Yue handed him a note, he saluted and left, Xuan Ming opened the note and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Maybe Xiaoba doesn't have to go to kiss, and the evidence that King Rui stole arms and sold them will soon be available." ”
