When there is a great event in the country, the heavens will show it.

Qin Tianjian is in charge of astronomical divination and undertakes the task of insight into the heavenly machine, and the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to it, and they do not allow others to snoop on it, so Qin Tianjian's performance involving the heavenly machine can only be seen by the emperor.

Therefore, Wen Tingfang muttered: "If Pei Xun's words are true, the heavenly omen must have appeared, but the celestial phenomena observed by Qin Tianjian have always only been presented to His Majesty, and it is not easy for others to know about the heavenly omen." ”

"It's not easy." Zhou Jin said lightly: "But it's not impossible. ”

Wen Tingfang bowed slightly and said, "It seems that His Highness has already prepared. ”

"The officials in the Qin Heavenly Prison are also people." Zhou Jin smiled and said: "Qin Tianjian has no income, those officials only rely on Yulu to support, and their lives are even poorer than ordinary officials, and even Yin Jianzheng rarely changes a new dress all year round." ”

"But now Yin Jianzheng is wearing new clothes every day under his official robe, and he has also bought a three-entry house on Fuqing Street to maintain the outer room, and the annual expenses are not small."

Wen Tingfang immediately came to his senses and said, "Presumably, His Highness has spent a lot of money on Yin Jianzheng in the past few years. ”

"Yin Jianzheng's words are hard to find, so 100,000 taels of silver a year is nothing."

Wen Tingfang thought for a while and said, "I don't know how much silver it costs to let Yin Jianzheng speak now?" ”

Zhou Jin smiled and said: "I'm not afraid that he has a big appetite, but I'm afraid that he has no appetite." ”

Wen Tingfang said: "It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, but a person is used to eating and drinking, I'm afraid that I will never think about living a poor life again." ”

Zhou Jin nodded: "What's more, Yin Jianzheng's outer room just gave birth to a son to him some time ago, and Yin Jianzheng naturally doesn't want his son to live a hard life." ”

"If there is a vision in the sky, how should Your Majesty reply to Eunuch Yin?"

Zhou Jin said lightly: "My father works hard for political affairs every day, so why bother my father with these things, which makes my father worry about hurting his body." ”

Wen Tingfang couldn't help but remind: "There are more than a dozen people up and down the Qin Heavenly Prison, and if they want to hide this matter, they are afraid that they can't, and now there is King Qi watching from the side. Therefore, the more critical the time, the more you need to be cautious, and you must not leave anyone to talk. ”

Zhou Jin smiled slightly: "In the past three years, in addition to giving Yin Jian Zheng 100,000 taels of silver every year, he also gave 50,000 taels each to Deputy Supervisor Cao and Deputy Supervisor Xu, and the rest of the people also have points, if they can't even hide this matter, what is the use of Gu asking them?" ”

Wen Tingfang couldn't help but look at Zhou Jin with admiration, and he couldn't imagine that Qin Tianjian, who was so valued by His Majesty, had been secretly controlled by him.

"Your Highness has taken precautions, which makes the old slave admire." Wen Tingfang brushed the dust and said to Zhou Jin.

"It's strange to say." Zhou Jin didn't have the slightest joy on his face, but looked a little puzzled: "After my father ascended the throne, he didn't seem to attach much importance to Qin Tianjian, Yin Jian Zheng said that in the past seven years, he had reported the vision of heaven and earth to his father six times, but he was shelved by his father and had no instructions. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Jin's expression changed suddenly, and then he lowered his voice: "Yin Jianzheng also talked about a past incident ten years ago. ”

"Ten years ago?"

Zhou Jin nodded lightly: "Ten years ago, Supervisor Yin was only a deputy supervisor, and the supervisor was Wei Shichang. ”

Wen Tingfang said: "Eunuch Wei has been in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison for more than twenty years and is deeply trusted by the first emperor. Whenever the first emperor used troops, he would definitely ask Wei Jianzheng, and he would not send troops until he got the permission of heaven, and Wei Jianzheng never made a mistake in calculating the celestial phenomena. ”

"That's right, so after my father ascended the throne, Wei Jian was still in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison. And the things mentioned by Yin Jianzheng are related to Wei Jianzheng. ”

"Something to do with Wei Jianzheng?" As soon as Wen Tingfang said this, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at Zhou Jin in a daze, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing that he had woken up, Zhou Jin nodded lightly, and his voice was lowered: "Ten years ago, Eunuch Wei was watching the sky at night and found that the Taiwei Star was getting fainter and fainter, and he urgently reported to his father, but for some reason, his father didn't pay attention to it. After the death of the crown prince, all the relevant reports were destroyed, and even the Qin Tianjian was not allowed to be kept. ”

Wen Tingfang was surprised: "What does Your Majesty mean by doing this?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Jin shook his head: "At that time, I heard Yin Jian Zheng talk about this matter, but I didn't think there was anything suspicious, thinking that my father might be guilty of self-blame and grief, so his behavior was a little strange." ”

However, if the crown prince is really killed by Pei Hyun, it is unknown whether the father has another meaning in doing this. And three months after the death of the prince, Yin Jianzheng resigned and went into hiding. ”

Zhou Jin and Wen Tingfang glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, but this matter involved His Majesty, and they didn't know the cause and effect, so they had to bury this doubt deep in their hearts.

At this time, Zhou Jin picked up the piece of paper and put it into the candle flame to light it, and then put it in the brazier, and only after there was only a pile of ashes left in the brazier, did he slowly say: "Gu will meet Yin Jianzheng tomorrow and ask them to prepare 300,000 taels of silver tickets." ”

Zuo Yuyan looked at Zhou Jing who was sleeping on the bed and gently stroked his hair.

At this time, the first palace maid hurriedly walked in, Zuo Yuyan heard the hurried footsteps, frowned slightly, and turned her head to look at the palace maid.

Although the palace maid lowered her head, she could still feel the terrifying gaze, and immediately lightened her steps, and then crawled to the ground, not daring to take a breath.

Zuo Yuyan slowly got up, walked to the chair and sat down, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Crown Princess, Lord Zuo has an urgent letter to deliver."

As she spoke, she held the letter in both hands, and at this time, a close palace maid took the letter from her hand and handed it to Zuo Yuyan.

After Zuo Yuyan took the letter, then waved her hand, and the palace maid immediately retreated.

Zuo Yuyan did not rush to open the letter, but looked at her personal palace maid Qiu Ping, and said slowly: "King Qi and King Zhao have any changes tonight?" ”

Qiu Ping immediately knelt down and replied: "I got the news of the eldest grandson today, saying that the guards of the King of Qi brought two village husbands into Beijing, and the slaves and maids sent people to guard in front of the palaces of the King of Qi and the King of Zhao. Just after the hour, Wu Fei, the guard of the king of Qi, entered the palace to meet the king of Qi. At the same time, King Zhao also got a letter. ”

"But I don't know what Wu Fei reported to Qi Yu, and I don't know the content of the letter."

Zuo Yuyan said lightly: "It's okay. ”

Then she looked at the dark night sky, and her arrogant face showed a trace of speechless expression, and muttered: "No matter what news King Qi and King Zhao get today, they will definitely not be able to hold back, and the next two months will definitely be full of good shows." ”

After a burst of emotion, Zuo Yuyan opened the letter, and after reading it carefully, her expression gradually became solemn, and there was a trace of doubt.

After putting down the letter, she looked at the candle flame in front of her and couldn't help muttering: "Su Shi did not leave the Qianqiu Quarantery from time to time, and returned to the mansion at the end of the time. Today's heavy rain is pouring, what is there worthy of your nostalgia so much? ”
