"Deal?" Fang Yu was puzzled, "What else can she use to trade with the emperor?" ”

"A list and a treasure."

Pei Yao said in a deep voice.

At this time, Zi Qingrong brought mung bean soup, Fang Yu took it, handed it to Pei Yao, and motioned for her to retreat.

Qingrong understood, hurriedly retreated outside the house, and closed the door.

Pei Yao took a slow sip of mung bean soup before speaking again.

"Do you remember what I told you before, Concubine Yan and her half-brother, Lin Cong, the sixth prince of the first emperor of Shangyang Kingdom, have a bad fate?"

"Such a royal secret, the concubine naturally remembers." Fang Yu nodded, and immediately thought of something, "Back then, the sixth prince was the strongest opponent of the prince of Shangyang Kingdom, if he hadn't been betrayed and became a prisoner of Daqi, I'm afraid it's not certain who the current Shangyang monarch is, a person with such strength should have a lot of connections and wealth, could it be"

Regarding Fang Yu's guess, Pei Yao nodded calmly.

"Is it credible?" Fang Yu frowned.

After all, the current Shangyang monarch has been on the throne for several years, has the old ministry and old wealth of the six princes not been discovered?

Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"I naturally want to try to verify the authenticity, she asked Hong Zheng to tell me that the craftsmen under the six princes have developed a new method of iron smelting, forging iron is more sophisticated, but the cost is to be saved, and the efficiency of mass production is not too low, this recipe, she has seen and remembered, before the war with us, the six princes in order to seek merit, dedicated this recipe to the first emperor of Shangyang Kingdom, and the first emperor praised it, and it is because of this, the crown prince at that time, the current monarch of Shangyang Kingdom, decided to kill the six princes at any cost to preserve his position."

With this statement, Fang Yu understood that the recipe for smelting iron was the wealth in Lin Chan's mouth.

In today's era, iron-smelting technology and the sophistication of weapons are directly linked, if this recipe is really so good, then it can not only save the cost of forging weapons, but also get more sophisticated weapons, which is indeed a good thing, and the silver saved is not wealth.

"And what kind of list is that?" Curious, Fang Yu took the initiative to ask.

Pei Yao chuckled, "The list of the loyal old departments of the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom, Concubine Yan said that when she came from Shangyang Kingdom, although the monarch Lin Chen had ascended the throne, the people under the six princes also accounted for half of the court, he killed a group, but he couldn't, and he didn't dare to kill it, this is still on the surface, secretly, and there are connections. ”

This is not difficult to understand, the new monarch ascended the throne to kill a group of political enemies, but he can't kill them all, otherwise half of the court will be empty, who will do the work for you, and how will the country work?

Fang Yu frowned, "But these old ministries can't play a big role, right, they won't betray the country?" ”

"Yes." Pei Yao bowed his head at the moment, "As long as I pass on the real reason for the death of the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom to Shangyang Kingdom, if there are loyal among these old ministers, they will naturally be angry, you say, if there are other people in Shangyang Country who can be supported, will they have other thoughts?" ”

"It's really possible, but the concubine thinks that rumors alone are not enough to succeed, and someone has to be a lobbyist, connect these people, and plan together."

As he spoke, Fang Yu's speed of speech slowly slowed down, and surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Concubine Yan didn't volunteer, she wanted to be a lobbyist who contacted the old ministry of the six princes, please let the emperor let her go back to Shangyang Kingdom!"

When she said this, Pei Yao's face already had a somewhat playful smile.

It's all in plain sight.

Fang Yu eased his mind, but still couldn't help but say, "She's really bold." ”

"If you're not bold, how dare you do these things alone in Daqi." Pei Yao teased.

Hearing this, Fang Yu said, "She must have some weakness in the hands of the Shangyang monarch before she agreed to come, and now that she is trading with the emperor, this layer must be indispensable." ”

In the interval when Fang Yu said this, Pei Yao drank the mung bean soup in his hand, put the bowl aside, and then said.

"Yes, she also has conditions, her biological mother is hostage in the hands of Shangyang Guojun, and she wants me to protect her biological mother."

"It's okay to keep it, but you can't let their mother and daughter reunite here, her biological mother should come to my Daqi Kyoto to continue to be hostage, otherwise, how can you believe that she is doing a good job in the Shangyang Congress."

Picking up Pei Yao's words, Fang Yu said in a deep voice.

Hearing her like this, Pei Yao also raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Concubine Ai really has the same mind as me."

"The emperor is still poor." Fang Yu glanced at him anxiously, "When he caught Concubine Yan's maidservant Ah Jin earlier, Prime Minister Lu Cheng had already drawn up the letter of state and sent it to Shangyang Kingdom, if you want to make this move again, you must not hurry up and intercept the letter of state, if it is in the hands of the monarch of Shangyang, he must immediately kill Concubine Yan's biological mother, where is the bargaining chip!" ”

Pei Yao was not in a hurry, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to intercept the national letter before I came, and now it has been less than ten days, and the national letter has not yet left the border of Daqi, and I did not order the urgent delivery of this national letter, so it will take at least a month to go down to the Shangyang monarch." ”

"Your Majesty, this is. Foresee? Fang Yu looked surprised.

"Where do I have such good skills?"

Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

"This first letter of state, there is no empirical evidence in it, just for questioning, such a letter, there is no need to rush to the hands of the monarch of Shangyang, I also plan to wait for the tangible evidence, and then catch up with a letter of state, so that the two letters of state go one after another, but it can also catch the monarch of Shangyang a little unprepared, now, it can be regarded as a mistake."

"Then it seems that the emperor has already made a decision, and the head of the concubine can't be turned around, and she is tired and hungry."

Fang Yu shrugged his shoulders and sighed, looking like he couldn't keep up with his thinking.

"You're smart, you can't turn around anywhere, it's just to avoid suspicion." Pei Yao suddenly said directly.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and then pouted, "The harem can't interfere in politics, the concubines have already crossed a lot, and if it spreads, it should be killed as a demon concubine!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's right, you are a demon concubine, I should be a bewildered faint king, no one is better than anyone." Pei Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

When he said this, he attracted Fang Yu to glance at him again.

Then he got up, "The emperor is afraid that he is hungry, and he is talking nonsense, and the concubines dare not listen, so the concubines go to the small kitchen to see if dinner is ready." ”

Then he got up and went outside.

Pei Yao didn't stop her, only smiled and played with the fan that Fang Yu left on the table, and stopped talking.

He didn't know that Fang Yu was avoiding suspicion.

Although in Pei Yao's heart, he didn't mind letting Fang Yu know this, and even, he liked the feeling of sharing some news with someone he trusted, after all, Fang Yao had already been involved in this matter, so what did he avoid now?

Besides, Pei Yao himself has a degree, except for the political affairs related to the harem to let Fang Yu know and participate, he will not say much else.

So at this moment, Fang Yu avoided suspicion, and he didn't break it.

This is also a well-behaved and measured performance, Pei Yao just likes Fang Yu's proper advance and retreat.

That night, it was natural to stay in the Yuzhang Palace.

Looking at the Yuzhang Palace everywhere in the harem, they have different thoughts.
