Liang Xiang frowned, and suddenly said: "But the relationship between Dajing and Beihuang has always been very delicate, so Your Majesty wants to make peace with Beihuang, there is no reason to be at the stage of discussing marriage, Beihuang suddenly started a war, and the army attack will generally start preparations long in advance, and it is impossible for our army to have no news at all." Unless something happens that makes the Northern Wilderness angry, they don't suddenly attack......

"Something happened to the princess who was close to him! And the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness also counted this matter on our heads, so he was in a hurry to attack us? Master Fang added beside him.

Liang Xiang fell silent, and everyone looked at each other.

"But this princess is staying in the Northern Wilderness for a long time, and if something happens, how can it be counted on our heads? I think it's the Northern Barbarians who are unreasonable. ”

"And it didn't seem that Beihuang's willingness to be close was very strong before, I guess it was Beihuang who regretted not wanting to be close, so I made this happen."

……

The ministers speculated a lot, but Liang Xiang suddenly thought of something, "Let's go back to the house first, the old man is a little tired, no matter what, Your Majesty has returned, we have to believe Your Majesty." ”

After all the ministers left, Liang Xiang arranged for someone to call Master Fang and Wu Sikong back.

"There are some words that you can't let too many people hear, so I'll call you two back." Liang Xiang said.

Lord Fang and Wu Sikong were both a little puzzled, and asked in unison, "I don't know what Liang Xiang has to explain?" ”

Liang Xiang walked into the two of them and whispered: "It is estimated that the princess of the country used by Beihuang to make peace with each other had an accident, do you remember Your Majesty's trip before?" ”

The two nodded, and Liang Xiang continued: "Actually, Your Majesty went to Shudi, and now I think about it, the choice that Your Majesty chose at that time and his relatives should be the third prince Li Ke." ”

The two pondered for a while, and Master Fang said, "Liang Xiang, please speak up." ”

Wu Sikong: "Among His Majesty's princes, only the third prince Li Ke has never been married, and the fief is in Shu, I believe that I don't need to say anything about the remoteness of Shu, Lord Fang should also know." You should have heard of our three princes, so it is most appropriate to choose the three princes as the object of harmony. In this way, the princess of the Northern Wilderness marries only honor, but has no real power. ”

"That's right! If the secret letter received by His Majesty today is really about the war, then it must be the princess who has an accident, otherwise it is impossible to explain such a sudden behavior of the Northern Wilderness. Liang Xiang continued.

Lord Fang listened in a fog on the side, "Two adults, don't go around in circles with me stupid people, I really don't understand." ”

Wu Sikong was amused by Lord Fang, and said: "Actually, what Liang Xiang means is that the three princes are not a good match, but when His Majesty proposed that it was him who was chosen by his relatives, Beihuang did not say that he would immediately send troops to my Dajing, but at the stage of discussing specific matters, he suddenly sent troops." That can only mean that the princess had an accident, and His Majesty had visited Shu before, maybe this trip was with the princess. It's just that I don't know what the specific reason is, Your Majesty should not have returned to the court with the princess, and according to the current situation, the princess must not have returned to the Northern Wilderness. That's why the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness was in a hurry to send troops to my Dajing. ”

Lord Fang was still proud when he heard this, Liang Xiang nodded, "That's right, the reason why I only kept the two of you is also considering that this matter should not be known to too many people, first, because I am afraid of being used by people with intentions, and secondly, the old man vaguely feels that this matter is related to the involvement of various forces in the court." ”

Master Fang: "Liang Xiang is thoughtful. ”

Liang Xiang: "But the most important thing for us at the moment is to stare at the crown prince and the prince, and your majesty's attitude is really a little confusing." ”

Lord Fang and Wu Sikong responded to Liang Xiang in unison.

In the palace, Gonggong Gui was in a hurry, and after entering the Renxin Palace, he retreated left and right.

"Your Majesty has verified by the old slave that the secret letter of the Northern Wilderness is indeed true, and it is not from my own big scene. The old slave on the third prince's side has also sent someone to inform her, only saying that Miss Su's father is sick and she will return to Beijing immediately. Grandpa Gui said.

Li Jing picked up the letter from Beihuang again and said, "What do you say Li Ke is doing, isn't it that he has other thoughts, and I didn't even see it when I was in Yizhou?" ”

Without waiting for Father-in-law Gui to speak, Li Jing continued: "But he doesn't know the identity of us and Sunan Ge, if he wants to rebel, he doesn't have to wait until now, and he shouldn't attack Sunan Ge." So this matter should have nothing to do with him, Gonggong Gui, you let our people in Shu not have to stare at Li Ke for the time being, and make every effort to find out the whereabouts of Sunan Ge, and we must find her out within three days. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the old slave will do it. Gonggong Gui said and left the Hall of Benevolence.

In Taifu's house, Zhang Yuan was meeting with Master Qi, the general doctor who had returned from disaster relief in Hebei.

"Taifu rest assured, the affairs of Hebei have been completely dealt with." Master Qi said.

"The old man is anxious to find Lord Qi is a big event that happened today, His Majesty received a secret letter after his expression is not quite right, the old man thinks that Lord Qi seems to have a distant relative on an errand in the Hall of Benevolence, see if you can find out anything from her?" Zhang Yuan said.

Master Qi, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, how did he know? "Ah, since you should be working for Taifu, I don't know what kind of thing it is about?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Lord Qi's somewhat cramped expression and comforted: "Don't worry, since you and I are people in the same boat, I am naturally tight-lipped about the affairs of your relatives, and please give me this trust, please Lord Qi to give it to me, you also know that I Zhang Yuan is suspicious of people, and I don't doubt it, it is really the matter of Hebei that involves the prince, and I just found out the head of Lord Qi's relative." But don't worry, the old man will rot in his stomach in this matter, and please forgive me Lord Qi, now this situation really needs your help Lord Qi, so I spoke. ”

Master Qi hurriedly stood up, "Taifu said and laughed, since they are all their own people, they should do something for their own people, I will inform him and let her pay attention, but Taifu, you also know that this Gonggong Gui has always been strict in this regard, but I am afraid that I may not be able to find out." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled, "That's natural, so it will be troublesome for Lord Qi." ”

Master Qi: "It's too polite, this is what I should do." ”

Walking out of Zhang Yuan's mansion, Lord Qi saw that around Taifu's mansion, there were many more people in the open and in the dark.

I couldn't help but sigh, in this tense situation now, just after walking a few steps, I saw a person on the side of the street looking at him sneakily, and when he saw that it was his own person, he hurriedly walked over and took that person to the alley.
