Hearing Qin Yushan talk about the remnants of the Chen Kingdom, Lu Chen immediately put down the information in his hand, he glanced up at Qin Yushan, and then continued to ask, "Gather towards the northern country?" Is there a lot of people? ”

Qin Yushan replied: "Many, the palace master of Xuanyue Palace has issued a summoning order, intending to take advantage of the civil strife in Great Xia to restore the country. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Yushan looked at Lu Chen, and then asked, "Lord Wang, do we need to stop those Chen people from coming to the Northern Kingdom?" ”

Qin Yushan knew that the palace master of Xuanyue Palace had been living in the palace, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Chen must be interested in the palace master of Xuanyue Palace.

Qin Yushan wasn't sure if Lu Chen had taken down Chen Wanrong, so Jin Yiwei was not easy to deal with in the matter of Chen Guo.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Since they want to come, let them come." ”

Lin Wanyun has been completely confused by him, and now Lin Wanyun can't leave him and has become his person, and Chen Wanrong is happy.

Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiaozhou have already been pregnant twice, so Lu Chen doesn't plan to let them have children in the future, he plans to let them rest for a few years, and he will focus on women with internal strength in the inner courtyard of the palace, Chen Wanrong is one of them.

Chen Wanrong is too holy, so he doesn't have that kind of mind every time he is in front of Chen Wanrong, Lu Chen knows very well that if he wants to have evil thoughts in front of Chen Wanrong, a "fairy", he has to have close contact with Chen Wanrong, and then he will look for opportunities to have close contact with Chen Wanrong.

It is very easy to find an opportunity to get in close contact with Chen Wanrong, because Chen Wanrong is also looking for such an opportunity to trick herself, and they belong to a two-way street.

Lu Chen asked at this time, "Do you have any other information?" ”

Qin Yushan continued: "The Dongfang family is planning to move directly to the northern country, I don't know if the letter from the head of the Dongfang family has been delivered to the prince. ”

Because Jinyiwei uses a large number of flying pigeons to pass on the book, some of the information of Jinyiwei is faster than others using horses to transmit information, Dongfang Yi's letter is still on the way, and Qin Yushan already knows that the Dongfang family intends to move to the northern country.

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Moving to the Northern Kingdom at this time?" Now that war has broken out in the south, how can they get out? ”

Qin Yushan replied, "Their plan is to use the large merchant ships of the Dongfang family to come to the northern country directly from the sea. ”

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen reacted, it was rumored that the large merchant ships of the Dongfang family were larger than the warships of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and they could transport a lot of things.

In order to catch the Jiangnan family off guard, Emperor Xia also borrowed the merchant ships of the Dongfang family to transport some imperial soldiers to the south.

If you're coming from the sea, it's not easy to spot.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said: "Dongfang Yi's letter should be delivered in a few days, they can move here if they want to, as long as they are not discovered." ”

Lu Chen originally planned to let the Dongfang family be an undercover agent, and he would always go undercover on his father's side, and then let them stand on his side when he needed it one day.

However, seeing that the Dongfang family was so eager to move to the northern country, Lu Chen had basically guessed the Dongfang family's thoughts in his heart.

They probably thought that Emperor Xia was likely to unload the mill and kill the donkey, so they simply ran away in advance, so that the army of the imperial court and the Jiangnan family led by Lu Shuyun would fight slowly.

Qin Yushan said at this time: "At present, with this information, if the prince is fine, his subordinates will retire first." ”

Lu Chen said, "Well, let's go down." ”

"The subordinates retired."

Immediately, Qin Yushan turned around and left the study.

……

After the army of the Great Xia court moved south, a fierce battle broke out with the rebels led by Lu Shuyun, and in just one month, hundreds of thousands of people died.

The war was even more brutal than people expected, and some ordinary people chose to go north in order not to get involved in this war.

Lu Chen spread a lot of things about the division of land in the north through the Jinyi Wei to the south, and the common people also knew that the land ownership of the north was not their own, but the grain grown on the land belonged to them, and they did not need to pay agricultural taxes.

If the displaced people want to go to the northern country, they need to pass through the Qi country, which makes the king of Qi feel very headache, when the Great Xia will cede the three counties to Dawu, the displaced people have poured into the Qi country in large numbers, and now the Great Xia civil war, the displaced people run to the Qi country again.

In desperation, King Qi had no choice but to send envoys to the north again, and sent all those displaced people to the north again, so as to increase the population of the north again.

When Lu Chen asked people to count the population again, the population of the northern country had exceeded five million people, and the labor force was so abundant all of a sudden, which also ushered in the rapid development of the northern country.

Meanwhile.

Great Xia, the capital.

Inside the Imperial Garden.

Emperor Xia was playing chess with the national teacher Situ Ce, at this time Situ Ce's hand holding the chess pieces stopped on the chessboard, he looked at the entire chessboard, and then asked: "Your Majesty, such an important chess piece, you just gave it up?" ”

Emperor Xia said lightly: "For me, as long as I can win the final victory, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned. ”

As soon as Emperor Xia's words fell, the commander of the shadow guards was outside the pavilion now, "Your Majesty, the brocade guards in the capital disappeared almost overnight, and the brocade guards we caught also committed suicide by poisoning. ”

After hearing the report of the Shadow Guard Commander, Emperor Xia's face instantly darkened.

He said coldly: "Let those brocade guards willingly take poison and commit suicide, Xiao Jiu is really a good means!" ”

Generally, if you are caught, you will kill yourself directly, then you can be regarded as a dead soldier, what Emperor Xia didn't expect was that Lu Chen actually cultivated so many dead soldiers.

Emperor Xia also only knew about Jinyiwei's affairs not long ago, not long ago, when Yingwei was investigating things related to Lu Shuyun, he accidentally discovered the existence of Jinyiwei, and later after Yingwei's investigation, it was found that Jinyiwei was a huge intelligence agency similar to Yingwei, and Jinyiwei's intelligence collection ability even surpassed that of Yingwei.

The shadow guard immediately reported this matter to Emperor Xia, and after Emperor Xia heard about the existence of the Jinyi Guard, he was furious, and he made a shadow guard out mainly to collect information about the entire Great Xia, and also to supervise the hundred officials, and the most important role was that the shadow guard could help him do some dirty words.

As a result, I didn't expect that someone had set up a similar organization, and then Emperor Xia immediately asked Ying Wei to investigate the matter of Jinyiwei, but it didn't matter if it wasn't investigated, it was found that Jinyiwei was actually an intelligence agency in the north, and it was also an intelligence agency that had been made public.

This made Emperor Xia even more angry, he, the emperor, was not dead yet, and Lu Chen created an organization similar to the shadow guard, what did he want to do, did he want to usurp the throne?

Emperor Xia was angry, so he asked all the Jinyi guards in the capital to be pulled out, but the effect was not very good, and after the Jinyi guards knew that they were exposed, they immediately hid them.

Jinyiwei is basically a one-line contact, it is difficult to catch all Jinyiwei through one person, the most critical point is that Jinyiwei is extremely loyal to the king of the north, even if Jinyiwei is caught, they can't ask anything from Jinyiwei's mouth.

Because of the matter of Jinyiwei, Emperor Xia decisively gave up Bai Qingqing, the deputy commander of the shadow guard, which is the important chess piece that Situ Ce said just now.

Emperor Xia has discovered that although Bai Qingqing has been passing on information about the northern kingdom to the imperial court and to him, Bai Qingqing has not mentioned some important information about the northern kingdom in the information at all.

The most important thing is that Jinyiwei is an intelligence agency that has been made public in the northern country, and as a result, Bai Qingqing, the deputy commander of the shadow guard, has never reported anything about Jinyiwei in the intelligence from beginning to end.

Today's Bai Qingqing has climbed onto Lu Chen's bed and become Lu Chen's pillow person, but Bai Qingqing still knows very little about Lu Chen.

Emperor Xia didn't believe that Bai Qingqing and Lu Chen had been in the same bed for so long, and they hadn't found any useful information, so it was obvious that Bai Qingqing had defected.

Although he didn't know why Bai Qingqing betrayed the imperial court, Emperor Xia would definitely not believe the information she passed back in the future.

Being able to make an emotionless deputy commander of the shadow guard submit to him once again deepened Emperor Xia's jealousy of Lu Chen, to be precise, the jealousy of the force behind Lu Chen.

At this time, Emperor Xia said to the commander of the shadow guard: "Bai Qingqing was selected by you back then, and she was also cultivated by you, since she has betrayed the shadow guard, then it is up to you to solve it." ”

The Shadow Guard Commander immediately said, "My subordinates obey orders. ”

Emperor Xia said: "Go down, there is no shadow guard lurking in the northern kingdom left." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The subordinates retired."

The Shadow Guard then left the Imperial Garden.

After the shadow guard commander left, Xia Huangqi didn't play, and directly got up and walked out of the pavilion, looking at the fish swimming in the lotus pond with his hands behind his back.

He couldn't help but have some doubts here, whether Lu Chen was the illegitimate son of Zhuge Chongguang and Chu Yue, but Zhuge Chongguang was already more than a hundred years old decades ago, and Chu Yue was young and beautiful at that time, how could he fall in love with a bad old man.

If Lu Chen was not the illegitimate son of Zhuge Chongguang and Chu Yue, then why would Zhuge Chongguang stand on Lu Chen's side and move the entire Huanyu Academy to the northern country?

Just when Emperor Xia's thoughts were extremely confused, a shadow guard soldier entered the Imperial Garden, "Your Majesty, the merchant ships of the Eastern Family have been transporting grain to the Northern Kingdom recently, do we need to intercept them?" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia frowned, his face became even more unsightly, and at this time, there seemed to be a knife wind blowing in the air, and the carp in the lotus pond also seemed to be frightened by something, and sank directly to the bottom of the water.

The Dongfang family had already reached a cooperation with him, but at this time, instead of focusing on assisting the imperial army to eradicate the rebels, they started a business.

Emperor Xia did not suspect that the merchant ships of the Dongfang family had any other purpose in going to the north, in his eyes, the merchants pursued profits, and the Dongfang family did business in the era, and now the Great Xia civil strife, the price of grain has risen and risen, several times, and the Dongfang family is still thinking about making money at this time, and he is not surprised at all.

It's just that the behavior of the Dongfang family made him feel very unhappy.

After a while, Emperor Xia finally said: "If the merchant ships of the Dongfang family need supplies, if they need anything on the ship, send them directly, and send someone to escort the merchant ships of the Dongfang family to the northern country." ”

Although Emperor Xia didn't think that the Dongfang family would lead the rebels north at this time, it was best to take precautions when it was time to defend them.

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"The subordinates retired."

As soon as the words fell, the shadow guard soldier left the Imperial Garden.

After the shadow guard soldier left, a cold light flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, in his opinion, the Dongfang family dared to do business at this time, it was because they reached a cooperation, the Dongfang family thought that the royal family would not dare to do anything to them, and all the Dongfang families would be so unscrupulous.

The approach of the Dongfang family obviously did not take him as the emperor in their eyes.

The Dongfang family has already behaved like this before they enter the court, and if they wait for them to enter the court, they don't know what it will become.

However, Emperor Xia will not take action against the Dongfang family because of this small action of the Dongfang family, the Dongfang family does not belong to the ancient family, there is no fixed power, once the other families in the Jiangnan area are destroyed, the Dongfang family will lose its foothold.

It is easiest to get rid of a family without roots.

Now let the Dongfang family be presumptuous for a few days, and then slowly clean up the Dongfang family after the family in Great Xia is settled.

……

Northland.

Beiwangfu, Yunrong Courtyard.

In the evening, the fiery red sunset fills the sky, and the red glow shines on the earth, dyeing everything bronze.

At this time, Chen Wanrong in the pavilion was looking at the information in his hand, and his face did not fluctuate in the slightest.

At this time, her eyes glanced at Lin Wanyun, who was sorting out information.

In the past few days, Lin Wanyun has gone out every night, and she doesn't come back until dawn after going out.

As for what she went out for, Chen Wanrong had basically guessed in her heart, and it was obvious that Lin Wanyun went to find Lu Chen.

Every time Lin Wanyun came back at dawn, she looked very tired, and her clothes were torn.

I don't know why, Chen Wanrong feels that Lin Wanyun is becoming more and more mature now, more and more dignified and virtuous, and her temperament has changed a lot, and she is now more like a married woman.

Chen Wanrong couldn't help but wonder, could it be because she had been defiled by Lu Chen? That's why her temperament has changed so much?

At this time, after Lin Wanyun sorted out the information in her hand, she looked up at Chen Wanrong and said, "Palace Master, Wei Siyuan should be able to reach Yancheng in a few days. ”

After hearing Lin Wanyun's words, Chen Wanrong came back to her senses, and she said expressionlessly: "Hmm." ”

Lin Wanyun said: "Palace master, who is this Wei Siyuan?" I remember that I had been in correspondence with him before? ”

Lin Wanyun is not from Chen Guo, so she doesn't know much about Chen Guo, and she doesn't know much about the old forces of Chen Guo.

She guessed that this Wei Siyuan was most likely from Chen Guoren, otherwise Chen Wanrong would not have frequent correspondence with Wei Siyuan.

Chen Wanrong replied: "He is the loyal and good of the Chen State, after the Chen State was destroyed, the Wei family fled from the Chen State and fled to a small island called Fengyun Island in the sea, the Wei family developed their power on Fengyun Island, waiting for the day when the Chen State returned to the country. ”

Lin Wanyun said: "I see. ”

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "Aunt Lin, I'm going out tonight." ”

Hearing this, Lin Wanyun was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you going, Palace Master?" ”

Lin Wanyun thought that she hadn't found the antidote from Lu Chen yet, if Chen Wanrong ran around, what if she had a poison attack outside?

Chen Wanrong said: "Some of the former ministers of the Chen State have arrived in Yancheng, and I am going to meet them tonight. ”

Lin Wanyun said: "Then I'll go with you." ”

Chen Wanrong said: "No, Aunt Lin, you are not feeling well these days, so take a good rest tonight." ”

Lin Wanyun's brain was stunned for a moment.

In fact, it's not that she's not feeling well, it's just that she is pounded every day, and her brain is a little confused, so sometimes she walks a little floating.

Lin Wanyun said, "Okay then." ”

Lin Wanyun planned to ask Lu Chen at night to see how long Chen Wanrong could stay outside the palace without an antidote.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyun continued to ask, "Palace Master, where are you meeting at night?" ”

Lin Wanyun thought that if the poison in Chen Wanrong's body could not last for one night, knowing where Chen Wanrong went, she would be able to rush to the scene as soon as possible.

Chen Wanrong replied lightly: "The restaurant in the south city of Xuanyue Palace. ”

Lin Wanyun said: "I know, if the palace master encounters something, remember to send someone to inform me as soon as possible." ”

Chen Wanrong whispered a soft "um" and said no more.

After night fell, Chen Wanrong took a carriage to Nancheng, Lu Chen planned to go to the study to deal with government affairs after dinner, and happened to see Chen Wanrong leaving the Beiwang Mansion.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong left the Beiwang Mansion, Lu Chen directly changed his route and went to Yunrong Courtyard.

At this time, Lin Wanyun's room was still lit, and seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly.

Working overtime there is not overtime, I still don't go to the study to work overtime tonight, let's go to Lin Wanyun's room to work overtime.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately walked to Lin Wanyun's room.

At this time, Lin Wanyun was sitting on a stool in the room, sewing clothes, judging from the size of the clothes, this was obviously the clothes worn by children.

Although Lin Wanyun is not pregnant with Lu Chen's child, she already understands that if she doesn't give Lu Chen a child, Lu Chen will most likely not let her go, so she plans to prepare a few sets of clothes for her child in advance, anyway, she is idle now.

Just when Lin Wanyun was sewing clothes seriously, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Lin Wanyun instantly became vigilant, "Who is it?" ”

Chen Wanrong had already left the Beiwang Mansion, and it stands to reason that no one would come to her room at this time, but at this moment, the voice of a familiar big boy came into her ears.

"Aunt Lin, it's me."

Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Lin Wanyun's plump and delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Soon Lin Wanyun came back to her senses, she hurriedly put down the clothes in her hand, and then put all these clothes into the bamboo pocket, and then put the bamboo pocket in the cabinet in the room.

After doing all this, Lin Wanyun said, "The door is not closed, you can come in." ”
