Chapter 123: Xiao Yan's henchmen
"Meng Fei is my third sister, as long as she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, I won't let her go. It's just that Jin Guo's marriage this time is indeed to be discussed, and if I really marry her to Jin Guo, I can't bear it. ”
"The emperor can't bear it, and the minister also has a way."
"What's the method?"
Meng Qing suddenly patted the case and got up.
He only said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, just wait." ”
"Wait?"
Her long eyelashes drooped, and she pondered the word.
"The emperor only needs to drag the envoys of the Jin State as much as possible, and this plan can not only make the princess of Xincheng not have to marry far away, but also make the border between the two countries peaceful."
Looking at each other, she already knew what he was going to do.
After Xiao Yan left, Meng Qing summoned Liang Yinqiu, who is now promoted to the commander of the forbidden army and controls the entire Yujing Imperial City, which is more than twice as beautiful as the nobody back then.
Liang Yinqiu took off the sword on his body and placed it outside the hall, entered the hall alone, and saluted: "Weichen has seen the emperor, and the emperor bows to Jin'an." ”
"No need to be polite."
She buried her head in reading the folds and listened quietly to Liang Yinqiu's report.
"Your Majesty, news came from the Gu family in Yuzhou that the Yuzhou garrison has 80,000 troops, and a warehouse battalion has also been set up for the armor and its swords. It's just that Yuzhou is closer to Yujing after all, and if you recruit 300,000 troops in one go, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of many Beijing officials, so now we can only look at it slowly. ”
"Very well, has the investigation of what I asked you to investigate clear?"
"The investigation has made it clear that this is all the emperor's friends in the court, as well as the local sphere of influence."
After saying that, he presented the fold to Lingyu, and after the two looked at each other, Lingyu placed it on Meng Qing's table.
Meng Qing put down the Xiangfei pen, picked it up and opened it to take a closer look.
Fang Wenyi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, Xing Gao, the Lang of the Household Department, Han Bin, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Labor, Zeng Yu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, Shi Linshan, the commander of the Xicheng soldiers and horses, Fan Yunqing, and the deputy commander of the forbidden army, Zhuo Sheng......
In addition to these, there are Tingzhou, Shuozhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Ganzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou......
Meng Qing suddenly felt his scalp tingle!
What has Xiao Yan been doing all these years! It doesn't matter if there are people from all over the state, there are people from the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy, and the Guanglu Temple.
If this is a pot, the entire Chu State will have to lose a layer of skin!
"Yin, Yinqiu," her mouth trembled, "Are you sure there is no mistake with this list?" ”
Liang Yinqiu solemnly said: "There is no mistake, in the past three years, the emperor has seemed to be light and light on the surface, but in fact, he has colluded with important ministers in the court behind his back, formed a party for personal gain, and in the past month, most of the officials who paid tribute in various states and governments have relied on the prestige of the emperor to flatter and make close friends. Your Majesty, you are sitting on a high platform, so you have to guard against it! ”
Meng Qing closed the chapter, her mind was complicated and heavy, she had this list, and it was easy to distinguish which ones were chaotic parties and which were good ministers in the court, and then broke them one by one, no matter how powerful Xiao Yan was, it would be difficult to turn over.
"You're doing a great job. These Shangshu in the six departments include Shilang, you send someone to check it again, and notify me as soon as there is a clue. ”
"Yes! Wechen knows! Liang Yinqiu continued: "There is also the matter of the Jin State Mission, they have been very calm for some reason in the past two days, except for a trip to the Qianjin Mansion yesterday to enjoy the scenery and drink, they have never left the embassy again." Weichen felt that they should know that our Chu State had sent someone to keep an eye on them, so they didn't dare to act rashly. ”
"Heh, he just wants you to see it, how do you know that he didn't pay attention behind his back and sneaked out of the embassy? Or is it not a two-way street? ”
Liang Yinqiu thought about it, it was really.
"So what now?"
"Go and check, in the near future, all the merchants who have come to do business from the Jin Kingdom must be investigated one by one, and there must be no fish that slip through the net."
"Yes, Wechen understands."
"Let's go down."
"Wechen retired."
Meng Qing stared at Liang Yinqiu's distant back, his eyes were slightly gloomy, and a killing intent burst out of Danfeng's eyes.
Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, kept saying that he liked her and would assist her with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't forget the little power in his hand.
One day, he will still push her to a dead end, just like in his previous life.
In this life, she has soldiers and horses, and with the help of the deployment of King Yong Yizhou, she will definitely get rid of Xiao Yan from the list of Chu State.
……
Qianjin Building.
The door of the private room is closed, the window is half-open and half-hidden, and the corners of the eaves are adorned with a few crystal clear ice picks, which melt and drip from the corners of the cone to the ground.
Tea is boiling next to the pineapple wood low table, the mist is hot and rising, and there is a glass plate on the table, which contains dim sum.
Xiao Chuji was dressed in a white gold-inlaid brocade robe, kneeling steadily on the felt, and there was no one sitting in front of him.
"Your Highness, did you say that His Royal Highness the Great Prince will really come?"
He held the ice crystal tea cup in his hand, but his eyes fell on the market downstairs.
"Brother Huang, he will come."
"But we've been waiting here for two or three hours, and we haven't seen him coming, so why are you bored, Your Highness?" Su Yi was indignant.
"Suyi, don't be rude. He is Lone's eldest brother, and now he hasn't seen him for more than ten years, so why wait for him for a few hours? ”
"Yes......"
Su Yi could only swallow his dissatisfaction in his stomach, and often looked out the window with his feet on his feet.
He chattered: "The people of this Chu State are really staring at it closely, if they don't turn over the window, they won't be able to get out." But Your Highness, are we really going to marry the princess of the new city for His Royal Highness the eldest prince this time? ”
"What do you think?"
There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Chuji's lips, and the cinnabar mole on the bridge of his nose was full of charm and depth.
"Subordinate......" Su Yiyi saw the carriage passing by, "Your Highness! He's coming! ”
Seeing Xiao Yan get out of the carriage and come to Qianjin Building, Su Yi was even more excited than Xiao Chuji himself.
Xiao Chuji had no choice but to shake his head, it was useless to keep the guards because he was so angry!
As soon as the tea was opened, a knock on the door sounded from the outside in.
Su Yi hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and a cold-faced and compassionate face appeared in front of Xiao Chuji.
Xiao Yan was dressed in a red round-necked official robe, and Ruifeng's eyes were down, showing a compassionate form.
He said that when this imperial brother came to the Chu State, it seemed that he had changed into a different person, even if he was upright, he still had a clean breeze on his sleeves and held Buddhist beads, which was not at all like the decisive imperial brother he had before.
Xiao Chuji stood up and saluted respectfully, "Elder brother." ”
He silently raised his feet and went in, sat opposite each other in his robe, and gently played with the Buddhist beads in his hand, without the slightest look of joy when he saw his relatives.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
He didn't want to stay here for a moment, he was extremely disgusted with everything related to the Jin Kingdom, even his own brother who had never done anything.
Xiao Chuji looked at him left and right, only to feel that he seemed to be completely different from the previous eldest brother, not the person he had always admired in his heart.
