"For the sake of prudence, the minister will still divide this batch of fine works into three squads: Ears and Eyes, Wings and Wanderers, so that they can eat and live separately, and do not know each other, so as not to be caught in a net.

In addition, when teaching, they will be asked to hand out the information by carving the Yin script on a slip. ”

"It's fine." LIU Ji's head,

"The danger of the Huns, we don't know anything now, the land of the tiger's den in Longtan, it is better to be careful.

Ink writing is too easy to be altered, and the lettering you are talking about is indeed more secure. ”

Yin Fu and Yin Shu are the earliest military codes.

There is no text on the yin symbol, and only the length of the bamboo slips and wooden slips are arranged to show the corresponding information;

The Yin Book, on the other hand, is to write a complete piece of information out of order and send it out in three copies.

Yin Talismans are used in conjunction with Yin Scripts, making them almost impossible to decipher, even if they are cracked by enemies.

Yin talismans, yin scripts, plus lettering, this is the highest level of secrecy that Chen Ping can think of.

The emperor and he both knew that all this was not to prevent the native-born Huns, but to prevent the Han people from being spies in the Huns.

Since the connections between the princes and kings in the north and the Xiongnu are inextricably linked, it is difficult to ensure that there are no Han people in the court of the Xiongnu who are familiar with the operation of the spy.

"What materials and manpower are needed for the rest, you also tell Xiao He, and he will fully cooperate with you."

Liu Ji lowered his voice and said briefly and slightly hurriedly,

"Selecting people and training, giving you a total of two months, is that enough?

Towards the end of the training, I will find an excuse to go around Chang'an. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have a lot of skilled hands under my command, and two months is enough to train them.

The minister will not disgrace his life. ”

"It's just—" Chen Ping suddenly thought of something again, and snorted.

"What?"

"Yin books and yin charms need to be based on simple slips, but I don't know if there is bamboo and wood that can be made into wooden slips in the Xiongnu grassland......"

"Huh?"

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and they were even more uncertain about the challenges they would face in the future.

***

Lu Pheasant, who returned to the North Palace, had another annoyance haunting him.

In the palace of Fangcai, Liu Ji handed over the task of training Xiongnu spies to Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, and emphasized that he would be released back in Zhao, which means that this matter is imminent, and Zhang Ao is about to return to Zhao as the new king of Zhao.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, everything was created, even if Zhang Er's coffin had not been buried, it would not affect his son's marriage at this time.

In this way, Lu Yuan will go into danger alone in the day and marry the husband who is destined to rebel.

Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant felt a little anxious in her stomach, and she couldn't sit still, so she ordered the palace maid to invite Mrs. Bo to have a little evening food together.

After half a pillar of incense, Bo Ji came with a smile, and said that he put the little prince Liu Heng to sleep, and then came to the mouth.

"On a spring afternoon, I was most sleepy and bored, but fortunately, the queen called a concubine, and there were rare melons and fruits to eat."

The slender hands of the maid serve each of them a lacquered rectangular four-grid (léi) containing tiny sliced peaches, pears and melons.

Lu Pheasant showed a rare interest, and even introduced them one by one with the sticks.

"This peach is a peach, and now it is the season of summer peach, and it is the most delicious.

This pear is a famous thing of Changshan Zhending, and it was sent by Zhang Ao.

This melon, called Zhaoping melon, also known as Donglin melon, is planted by a Guanzhong person named Zhaoping. ”

Seeing that the queen was obviously upset but beat her spirits, Bo Ji couldn't spoil her interest, so she followed the conversation and asked,

"Summoning Pinggua? The concubine is unheard of, I don't know what allusions are in this name? ”

"It is said that the melon farmer Zhaoping was originally the Marquis of Tanglin of Qin.

You know, the Eastern Tomb of Qin is buried with the eight sons of the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, as well as the parents of the first emperor, King Zhuang Xiang and Zhao Ji.

After Qin Po, the Zhaoping family was defeated by cloth clothes, and there was no way to continue, so they planted a hundred acres of melon fields near Xianyang.

It is also strange to say that so many people in Guanzhong grow melons, only his family's melons have few seeds and are juicy, fruity and fragrant, and very lovely. ”

"How did the queen know about such a rare thing?"

Hearing the queen's rare talk about the rumors in the market, Bo Ji couldn't help but be curious.

"Oh, Xiao Xiangguo has been operating for His Majesty in Guanzhong for many years, and I don't know what kind of coincidence he has formed a friendship with Na Zhaoping.

This melon is hard to find on the market, but the total energy source is constantly sent to Xiangguofu.

We can eat it today, thanks to Xiao Xiangguo's blessing. ”

"It's funny.

However, Xiao Xiangguo is now a Xiangguo, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and his best friend is still working in the fields?

Why don't you want to find a subordinate to do it? ”

Peng's subordinates are the officials of various officials, who do not need to be appointed by the imperial court, and are all selected by the chief officials, most of whom are old fellow villagers of officials, which can be described as nepotism.

Sangkook's friend is farming, which is really rare in the world.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, don't underestimate Zhaoping.

Summoning peace and poverty, and protecting one's life, if you really enter this invisible cage, what good end can you get? ”

Lu Pheasant, who has always been as strong as iron, rarely showed a little fatigue.

She knows that the friendship between Zhaoping and Xiao He, melon farmers and Han Xiangguo has lasted for a lifetime:

In the face of the suspicious emperor, Xiao He turned evil into good fortune several times in his later years, thanks to the advice of Zhaoping, who was a cold bystander.

And she also remembered that when she was young in her previous life, every time before eating aventurine melon, her mother always asked their sisters to recite "Yonghuai" by Ruan, a talented son of Wei and Jin.

"In the past, I heard that Donglin melon was close to Qingmen...... Cloth clothes can be lifelong, and it is not enough to be favored. ”

Nguyen was aloof and uninhibited by nature, and had no choice but to use all means to try to distance himself from the ruling clique.

However, a few months before his death, he was finally forced by the situation to write the most important document for Sima Zhao before usurping the throne - "Persuasion Table".

At the moment when he put down his pen, he was actually very envious of the cloth clothes outside Xianyang City, who was sweating like rain in the melon fields of Tanglin.

My mother always told them that she must leave a good way back in life, and she must not leave her fate in the hands of others.

Right now, Lu Pheasant hopes that he can pass on all these wisdom to Lu Yuan.

***

"Bo Ji, I'm so bored today, thank you for coming with me."

is as strong and resolute as a queen, but there is also a helplessness that is difficult to solve?

Bo Ji chewed the peach carefully, secretly pondered, and asked tentatively,

"Let the concubine guess, the queen's troubles can be related to the princess's family affairs?"

Lu Pheasant was noncommittal, and suddenly asked thoughtlessly,

"Do you remember what it was like when you were fourteen or fifteen years old?

Will you be able to distinguish between good and bad men at that time? ”

"How could I have been as stupid as a piece of wood."

Bo Ji pursed her lips and chuckled,

"The queen also knows that my father has another family, and it was my mother's fornication that gave birth to me and my younger brother.

That's why I lived with my mother since I was a child.

My mother was the daughter of the clan of the former Wei Kingdom, and her greatest wish in this life is that I can enter the harem of a certain king, have a son and a half daughter, and make her rich again. ”

Therefore, when Bo Ji was fourteen or five years old, he was like a delicate object, and was sent by his mother to the palace of Wei Bao, the king of Wei.

"Now I have given birth to a little prince, and I am also content, but unfortunately my mother's family died in the war and scattered, leaving only a younger brother Bo Zhao.

There is no family to share the wealth with. ”

Bo Ji lowered her slightly red eyes, and hurriedly took a piece of aventurine melon and put it in her mouth to hide her amazement.

Lu Pheasant looked at her thoughtfully and said,

"If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing. A person's life is a very long time. ”

Do you know that more than 20 years later, after the complete destruction of our Lu family, the son Liu Heng born to you was selected as the successor to the throne by the frightened ministers because of the weakness of his mother's family and the lack of worries about his relatives, and became the famous Emperor Wen of Han.

And you have also become the famous Empress Dowager Bo.

"Yes, Queen, a person's life is very long."

Bingxue's smart Bo Ji looked at Lu Pheasant and repeated her words in his mouth,

"Who of us didn't come from a stupid fifteen-year-old to come step by step."

Bo Ji's words reminded Lu Pheasant that when he was fourteen years old in his last life, he entered the palace with the political image of the daughter of a meritorious hero who needed to be encircled, and he stayed by Tang Taizong's side for twelve years without promotion, and he was always an inconspicuous talent.

At that time, I was ignorant and ignorant, and I only had a faint direction in my heart, that is, I was going to struggle to go up from the abyss of this harem that did not see the light of day, and go up until the light of the sky shone on my body.
