Chapter 427: The Puzzle (Part II)

Xie Zhao thought for a while, frowned and said:

"The 'Lone Wolf Sword Immortal' is a person, and his style of acting is not very praised. He came from a prominent background, and he has been a well-known martial arts genius on the grassland since he was a child, so he has always been above the top and does his own thing.

It's just that he seems to be freewheeling, but in fact he is not a brainless person. On the contrary, he has the most obvious characteristics of the nobility of the Northern Dynasty, that is, he has a strong sense of tribal clan. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Zhao subconsciously tapped the armrest with the fingers of his right hand.

She continued to analyze the situation in a deep voice, and calmly informed the Son of Heaven and the chief official of the Ministry of War about what she knew about Yu Wenxin.

These heard-ups are related to the internal affairs of the Ministry of Yuwen, and the temples of the Southern Dynasty may have heard of them or do not know about them.

If the Southerners did not know about it earlier, it must not be. But most of them are only after there have been more peaceful days in recent years, and they have heard the rumors of Langya Pass from those businessmen who traveled back and forth between the north and the south.

As for how many of them are true and how many are false, in fact, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

At this time, Xie Zhao personally narrated it, so there was a sense of down-to-earth realism.

Xie Zhao said softly: "Because of this, 'Lone Wolf Sword Immortal' Yu Wenxin is actually not as rough and reckless as his appearance.

On the Arro grassland, the situation of this generation of the Yuwen tribe is somewhat complicated.

Yuwenxin's uncle, the eldest prince of Yuwenbu, has no heirs to the throne, so his concubine is ambitious and stupid.

However, according to the ancient tradition of the 36 departments of the Handyong Dynasty, the concubine could not inherit the family business, even the Imperial Court Tuoba clan was no exception.

The people of the Northern Dynasties took a fancy to their concubines and believed that whether the blood of the mother who gave birth to the child was noble and whether she came from a large tribe was an extremely important factor.

Therefore, if the main family has no sons-in-law, then the family business will be inherited by the brother-in-law of the head of the family; If there is no brother-in-law, it must be inherited by a cousin.

Therefore, if the current Yuwen Yu, the eldest prince of the Yuwen Ministry, dies in the future, his royal status is very likely to be inherited by his younger brother Prince Xing, that is, Yuwen Xing's father, according to the etiquette law of the Yuwen Ministry.

However, Prince Xing remembered his brother's life-saving grace when he was young, and he mostly avoided suspicion and retreated in this matter, unwilling to contaminate the power of the royal account.

However, he married a princess Tuoba Yan who had a strong desire for power and was bound to win the Yuwen tribe, that is, Yuwenxin's mother, the daughter of Prince Boertai of Handyong. ”

A woman's voice was quiet and gentle in the main hall, and she talked eloquently.

She shared all the things she saw and heard when she walked in the rivers and lakes for many years and practiced several times in the Hanyong Yuwen Department in the north.

It is related to the situation between the north and the south and the stability of the people, and Xie Zhaozi will not have any reservations.

She looked at the emperor with a dazzled gaze, and said quietly: "So, Your Majesty, Yu Wenxin, who has grown up and achieved something in such a complicated situation, is a very successful person.

Just because he has been able to maintain a delicate balance between himself and Fuji City, King Yuwen and Prince Xing over the years, it shows that he is not simple. Your Majesty must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Jing Fu Jingyan frowned and continued:

"So, Sister said so much about the Xinmi of the Yuwen Ministry, is it determined that this border change is related to the Yuwen Ministry or Yuwen Xin?"

Xie Zhao bowed slightly.

"'Lone Wolf Sword Immortal' is not only a figure at the peak of martial arts in the Northern Dynasty, but also the prince of Prince Xing of the Yuwen Department and the concubine of Princess Jiuwei of the Handyong Dynasty.

Presumably, Princess Xu Qin, the son of heaven in the Northern Dynasty, was drawn to him, hoping to borrow the power of this sword immortal in the future on top of state affairs.

Therefore, the traces of cavalry scouts of the Northern Dynasty were frequently found at the border gates, and it was inevitable that the Handyong Imperial Court would not be completely ignorant.

But as far as I know. Tuoba Imperial Court now has great ambitions, although he has the heart to dominate the grassland, but he does not seem to be a man of military force.

Now the people who act are all cavalry of the Yuwen Ministry, so it can be seen that the Yuwen Ministry should lead the matter to the Son of Heaven, so he got the permission of the Son of Heaven.

However, the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty did not send the Imperial Guards to support, nor did he issue an edict ordering other tribes to act. ”

Zhuo Erfan, the secretary of the military department, pondered for a long time, and asked:

"Does Chitose mean that the Son of Heaven of the Northern Dynasty did not object to the request of the Yuwen Ministry, but he did not support it, but he was just watching the fire from the other side?"

Xie Zhao nodded lightly and said, "I guess, it should be so." ”

After all, this kind of occasional tentative probing on the border will not really touch the bottom line of the South Korea, because there are no casualties.

No matter why the Ministry of Culture suddenly became "interested" in Tianchen of the Southern Dynasty again, and regained the courage to decide to volunteer to test the border defense of the Southern Dynasty, which is beneficial and harmless for Tuoba Hong, the son of Handyong.

First, the most heroic and vigorous cavalry scouts of the Yuwen Department explored the recent border defense forces of the Southern Dynasties, which was a good thing for Handyong.

Although there has been no war between the north and the south for a long time, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can we deal with all kinds of emergencies that occur at any time.

After all, the struggle for land, population, property, and slaves was a commotion engraved in the genes of the Northern Dynasties.

Second, the Handyong Imperial Court did not show up in this matter, and the "dirty work" and "tiring work" were all done by the Yuwen Ministry!

Even if there was an occasional fire crossing the line afterwards, when the temples of the Southern Dynasty were held accountable, the Ministry of Yuwen was in the front.

After all, everyone in the world knows that the Tuoba Imperial Court's control over the 36 Divisions of Handyong is weak, and although the 36 Divisions are all loyal to the Imperial Court, they are all independent on weekdays.

So even if you really anger the Nanren because of this, it's a big deal to find a scapegoat from the Yuwen Ministry.

If this can be used to weaken the Yuwen Department, it will naturally be a good thing for the Northern Dynasty Emperor.

So, looking at this matter horizontally, vertically, left and right, the Handyong Imperial Court seems to have no reason to stop it.

The Metropolitan Governor Bai Mengxian lifted his eyes slightly, and sighed with an old dragon bell:

"Even if there is a small offense, but with His Royal Highness Chitose and the high priest of Nanxu, my Nanchao Tianchen will be safe."

Xie Zhao glanced at him coldly and smiled faintly.

Nanxu chuckled, and said with a smile:

"If in the future, if the peerless masters of other countries invade the Southern Dynasty by force, this seat will not stand by coldly."

When Bai Meng heard this, his wrinkled face had a smile that seemed to stiffen slightly.

Even Emperor Jing subconsciously frowned slightly.

Because Nanxu's words clearly mean something, his meaning is obvious - this seat doesn't care about idle things, and he doesn't care about the border battle between the court and the country!

As long as it wasn't for the two peerless masters of the Northern Dynasty Hanyong, it would be your worldly matter, and he would not interfere with the high priest of Nanxu.

But as long as the Tianchen Dynasty was not beaten to the doorstep or destroyed by the soldiers in the city, even if Nanxu stood on the platform, it was not a violation of the ancestral teachings of the master.

After all, the secular mission of the Shentai Palace, in the final analysis, is only to protect the Fu Dynasty from being subverted by foreign races.

Emperor Jing was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled faintly and said:

"I understood what the high priest meant. So sister, what do you mean? Do you think so too? ”
