Anyway, he retired in a few days, and Ye Hongyi didn't participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, who knew that such a thing would happen at the Great Dynasty Meeting.

Ye Hongyi, who was leisurely drinking tea in the Sansi Hall of Nanya, suddenly received an order from the emperor to summon him.

What did Emperor Yongxi summon him for no reason?

Ye Hongyi was also confused, but he hadn't gone to work yet, and the emperor summoned him, so he naturally couldn't help but go.

Hurry to the palace.

Emperor Yongxi saw him in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Ming Hall of the Changming Palace.

"Uncle Clan, has there been any information about the Xirong Royal Court recently?" As soon as Emperor Yongxi saw Ye Hongyi, he asked directly.

Ye Hongyi "chuckled" in his heart, the information of the Xirong royal court, could it be that something happened to Xirong?

The work of the Intelligence Department, he basically doesn't ask, then Tang Sen doesn't come every day, he asks in vain, is this not taking him as an old man in his eyes, Zhuo Chunfeng probably knows more than him.

"The old minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

"Today's court meeting, Xirong sent an embassy to suddenly meet and present a letter of peace from the wolf lord of Xirong, wanting to sign a peace trade agreement with my Great Zhou, you leave the future, can you know about this matter?"

Ye Hongyi swallowed his saliva, and secretly said badly, this kind of sudden thing, the court and the emperor are not prepared, so whether it is the Xirong people who deliberately keep it secret or not, the intelligence department will be responsible.

"Your Majesty, the Xirong people suddenly sued for peace, there must be an internal problem, otherwise, how could the Xirong wolf lord suddenly secretly send someone to send a letter to my Dazhou, and this matter is so secretive, even Nanya's intelligence system has not been informed, and it is inevitable that they may not know about this matter in China." Ye Hongyi is also an old sentimental secretary, and as soon as his mind turned, he immediately analyzed the situation and explained.

"You mean, there is a civil strife inside Xirong, and he urgently needs an external stable environment to sort out the inside, but we are too busy to take care of ourselves at the moment, and there is no need to seek peace first?" Emperor Yongxi did not agree with Ye Hongyi's analysis and judgment.

"Maybe it's not necessarily civil strife, it may be an internal disagreement, Xirong's national conditions are not the same as Da Zhou, they are a big tribal alliance, each tribe has its own interests, the old minister has already received the news, the various ministries also have opinions on the wolf lord's request to marry Princess Liuli this time, and a considerable number of Xijon nobles disagree, especially after we put forward those three conditions, the opposition is very big." Ye Hong.

"Then Uncle Yi, your judgment, is it out of sincerity that the Xirong wolf lord wants to sign a peace agreement with my Da Zhou this time, or is it a suspicious formation?"

"This ......"

"Uncle Clan, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"If the marriage between the wolf lord and Da Zhou is successful, then this peace agreement is true, if not, no matter how many agreements are signed, it is useless." Ye Hongyi said.

"Does it have to be Ruri?"

"Your Majesty, the wolf lord of Xirong is ambitious, how can an ordinary woman enter her eyes, among the princesses born by His Majesty, only the second princess is the same age as Princess Liuli, but compared with her ability and courage, it is far from the same."

"Uncle Clan, do you want to marry Xirong?"

"As a courtier, of course the minister hopes that Da Zhou and Xirong will coexist peacefully, and the two countries will no longer have swords and soldiers to meet each other, if marriage is a condition for gaining the trust of both parties, the old minister will naturally support it, but if as an elder of a family, I don't want my daughter to marry into a wild place like Xirong." Ye Hongyi said.

Old fox, you've said all the talk.

Emperor Yongxi also knew that Ye Hongyi was about to retreat, and he didn't want to grudge with anyone, as long as you didn't come to mess with me.

"I want Pei Donglai to join the company, Uncle Clan, what do you mean?"

"The old minister naturally has no objections, even if the old minister is asked to resign and go home now, the old minister has nothing to say." Ye Hongyi also gave Emperor Yongxi a soft nail, how could he have no mustard at all in the matter of Qingyi's promotion.

"Uncle clan, I think that you have worked hard in Nanya for half your life, and you should also take a good rest and recuperate." Emperor Yongxi is not stupid, Ye Hongyi has a grudge against him, especially when the Su family entered the Nanya, he almost killed his own disciples, and even ascended and descended secretly, an emperor is too careful to do this.

But he, the emperor, is sometimes too soft, and it is inevitable that he will be controlled by others in some aspects, and when the pillow wind blows, he can't agree or not.

"Your Majesty's hard work, the old minister naturally understands, and the old minister is indeed a little powerless to govern the Nanya, so as soon as possible, it will be handed over to the young and strong, and the old minister can't ask for it."

"If Uncle Clan can think like this, then I will be at ease." Emperor Yongxi smiled.

Just when the uncle and nephew were understanding each other and looking harmonious and dear, a little eunuch hurriedly came in from the small door, came behind the big eunuch Qixi, and whispered a few times in his ear.

Qixi's face changed slightly, and then he beckoned, signaling the little eunuch to return the same way, and he glanced at Ye Hongyi meaningfully, and then stepped forward sideways: "Your Majesty, Princess Liuli captured the culprit of the tragedy of the Shengji leather store in the Luojin stronghold of Xirong Shadow Hall, and was the former deputy envoy of Yangzhou regimental training, Ding Xian, who was alias Liu Ming, and hid in the mansion of Liu Qian, the salt transport envoy of Ningzhou, in Beijing, and when he found it, he was already dead. ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Yongxi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, Liu Qian, the envoy of Ningzhou Salt Transport, was the brother-in-law of Shen Zhuang, the Duke of Chengguo, and he naturally knew this.

The Wind Legend Puppet Shadow Hall assassinated his four sons, and he backhanded Ding Xian to destroy the people's stronghold in Luojing.

It doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Ding Xian is the deputy envoy of Yangzhou's regimental training, the defeat of the Great Zhou Naval Division, how the city of Yangzhou was broken, there are all kinds of news, one of them, that is, there is a traitor of Nanchu in Yangzhou City, and in the list of suspected traitors, there is this deputy envoy of Yangzhou regimental training, Ding Xian.

Many of the Shen family's lawlessness in the three southeastern states have been wiped out with this war.

This is why Emperor Yongxi can only threaten Shen Zhuang, but there is no way to take him, if you want to move Shen Zhuang, you must have strong evidence.

If you attack someone close to him, you can cut off his wings, but you may also force him to give it a go.

The consequences of this Emperor Yongxi did not dare to gamble.

So, it is only possible to make a fuss about people who are insignificant.

Boil the frog in warm water.

This Ding Xian, isn't that just the handle to send to the door, why would a court official change his name and surname to hide, if he wasn't weak-hearted, why would he do this?

What is the purpose of the Liu family to take in Ding Xian.

As for Ding Xian's life, it doesn't matter if he dies, he has an excuse to cure Liu Qian's crimes, and Shen Zhuang can't find a reason to excuse him.

If you Shen Zhuang admit that Ding Xian was arranged by you, then what are your intentions?

Therefore, this loss, Shen Zhuang must swallow.

The point is that the "Huitong" cabinet is in the hands of the Shen family, and Emperor Yongxi is a rat trap.

It is a terrible thing that the finances of a country are in the hands of a family, not in the hands of the emperor.

Ye Liuli found Ding Xian, but inadvertently did him a favor.

But he also knew that Ye Liuli was not so kind, and would help her uncle, she should want to provoke the fight between Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall and Shen Zhuang.

If he can really provoke a fight between the two sides, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for him.

Ye Liuli doesn't want to get married, so she must try her best to destroy the relationship between Da Zhou and Xirong, and this is what it means to hurt the third princess of Xirong before.

Now I want to use the contradiction between Chengguo Gong Shen Zhuang and Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall, but it coincides with my own plan.

Marrying Ye Liuli to Xirong does have a great political risk, and Emperor Yongxi is actually not so reluctant in his heart.

But there are some things that he has to weigh the pros and cons, and he can't do things entirely based on likes and dislikes.

There are a group of fanatics on the Tianlan Sect's side, and they have always had ambitions for Xirong, but that side is the territory of some Xirong martial arts sects such as Liuli Temple and Lotus Sect, and if Tianlan Sect wants to spread its influence to Xirong, it must have an opportunity.

Ye Liuli's marriage to Xirong as the princess of the Great Zhou was seen as an opportunity by some people in the Tianlan Sect, and the support was not small.

And these people supported him to defeat the former prince and ascend to the throne, so he should also support this marriage plan in return.

Ye Liuli must have been under pressure from within the sect, so he proposed three conditions for marriage in order to fight for the greatest interests for himself, or refuse in disguise.

If there is a problem in Xirong's country, then the pressure on Da Zhou will naturally be reduced a lot, it turns out that he is afraid that Nan Chu will fight against Da Zhou, and Xirong will take advantage of the fire to rob.

Now that there are internal problems in Xirong, and even take the initiative to seek peace, this is a lot of room for manoeuvre for Da Zhou.

He would be able to devote more resources to the southeastern battlefield.

So, he needs exact intelligence.

……

At this time, Shen Zhuang, the Duke of Chengguo, was furious, and what he was most worried about still happened, Ding Xian's exposure is enough to prove that he instructed him to destroy the Sheng family's leather store.

It's nothing, he didn't kill the people of Da Zhou, the old Sheng family store is the secret intelligence point of the Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall.

Even if the emperor wants to explain to the Xirong people, he will not really punish him, but Ding Xian is an official in Yangzhou, Yangzhou City is broken, he fled back to Luojing, why didn't he report to the imperial court, but changed his name and surname and hid in Liufu?

He wants to say that he doesn't know Ding Xian, who will believe it?

The only way at the moment is to push Ding Xian onto his dead son Shen Zhiyuan.

Ding Xian and his son are both disciples of the True Martial Academy, and they are considered to be the same family, they have a good relationship, Shen Zhiyuan secretly arranged for his friends to hide in his uncle's mansion, and no one can find fault with this explanation.

Evidence, who wants evidence to go down to find their own son to go!

It's just that before he could explain this, the will of the palace had already come down, and the Liufu Mansion was sealed, and all the Liufu were taken into custody.

The reason is to harbor the imperial court's prisoners, the former deputy envoy of Yangzhou regiment training, Ding Xian.

This case involved collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the case was jointly handled by Nanya and Dali Temple, and Ye Li, the new counselor of the Intelligence Department, was in charge of Nanya, and Dali Temple sent Lai Junjie of Dali Temple to assist in handling the case.

Although Ding Xian is the deputy envoy of Yangzhou regimental training, he is just a seven-grade official, and it is enough to send a counselor and Dali Temple to handle the case.

But how many people know that this Nanya counselor has another identity. Who dares to interfere or exert pressure in this case?
