The Dayue Dynasty took Shenglei Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion as the middle, and the north was counted as the northern land, and within the northern range, Chenghua Mansion was where the imperial city was located, and the kings of Chengtian Mansion and Chengyu Mansion were respectively served by two princes surnamed Zhang from the royal family.

Zhang Yunlan has been in power for ten years, and he has made great efforts to strengthen the strength of Chenghua Mansion several times, plus the two loyal princes of the mansion, the influence of the royal family in the north is still very large.

And when it comes to the southern land south of Shenglei Mansion, it is a situation of division of the heroes in the real sense, splitting the land and dividing the territory.

Except for Zhang Yunlan's hometown Quanyue Mansion, the other prefectures in the south are nominally vassals, but in fact they are their own countries, almost disobeying the emperor's orders, and each has a huge military in its hands, often attacking each other in order to compete for interests.

Among the southern provinces, Nanwu Mansion is the most powerful, and the first generation of the Nanwu Mansion is the founder of the country, and the general Luo Yan is the founder of the country.

Luo Yan's military achievements are impressive, powerful side, after his death by the eldest son Luo Yutang inherited the position of the monarch, Luo Yutang was young to roam the rivers and lakes, intoxicated with knife skills, reached the peak, and in his later years, he developed the military strength and economic development of Nanwu Mansion to dominate the south, and also established the supremacy of the Luo family in Nanwu Mansion.

To this day, the king of Nanwu Mansion is served by Luo Yutang's grandson Luo Zong, fortunately, Luo Zong was friendly with Zhang Yunlan when he was young, and he also helped privately in the crusade against Zhang Yue ten years ago, although he is now not subject to the constraints of Chenghua Mansion, but he still respects the royal family.

Zhang Yunlan reigned for ten years, and the real trouble in the south that became his and Han Hui's confidants was the Xuanwu Mansion and Xuanlian Mansion near the southwest.

The strength of these two mansions is not as good as that of Nanwu Mansion, but Xuanwu Mansion Jun Liao Bailian and Xuanlian Mansion Jun Tu Yaosong are close friends, and the relationship is extremely close, and they are allies on the same boat.

As for Nanxuan Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion, they are surviving between the royal family and Nanwu Mansion, and they are safe.

The situation in the southern region has maintained a delicate balance for many years, and has gradually stabilized under the open and secret battles between the royal family and the provinces, as well as between the provinces and the provinces.

But in the past two days, two blockbuster news have disturbed a pool of spring water like a dragon that has penetrated into the deep pool of the south.

......

Chenghua Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Han Hui usually stays in the Imperial City and the headquarters of the Tianlian Academy, and he doesn't have much time to go back to his mansion. In today's prime minister's house, people are coming in and out, so it's not lively.

The rare lantern of the Xiangfu, which has a low-key style on weekdays, turned out to be the fortieth birthday of Han Hui's wife.

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Han Hui was dressed in a rare casual dress, full of spring breeze, and a woman with soft eyebrows sat on the side, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and her hair bun was full of precious jewelry.

She is Han Hui's wife, Li Chunyao.

It is rumored that Han Hui is ruthless and extremely strict with himself, and the food and clothing in the Xiangfu are relatively simple, and he only loves his wife very much.

Rumors and legends are generally unrealistic, but this one is correct.

Li Chunyao married Han Hui when she was seventeen years old, and the prime minister at that time was only a scholar, and Li Chunyao was a well-known talented woman in Quanyue Mansion.

Han Hui is busy with business on weekdays, but on his wife's fortieth birthday, he has to handle everything well.

At this time, in front of the birthday star Li Chunyao, three men and one woman knelt down respectfully and congratulated in unison: "I wish my wife happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"

Li Chunyao helped them up with a smile, and said, "You guys, say I'm old, get up quickly." ”

Calling him his wife, these three people are the three brothers Jiang Chengfeng, Huo Fu, and Wen Jin who came to attend the birthday banquet.

The woman with them is Jiang Chengfeng's wife Tang Xiaohua, she and Jiang Chengfeng have been married for six years, and they are deeply loved by Han Hui and Li Chunyao, and they are also one of the few people who know the relationship between Jiang Chengfeng and Han Hui's master and apprentice.

The four of them got up, Li Chunyao took Tang Xiaohua's hand, and there was a look of love in her eyes.

"My wife is about to become an old woman, you and Chengfeng are not too young, when will you have a child, so that I can also feel at ease. ”

Tang Xiaohua's face was hot, and she said shyly: "I... We ......"

For a while, she was a little speechless, but fortunately, Jiang Chengfeng even relieved his wife, and said with a smile: "Master, don't laugh, now I am busy with official business, and I have the idea of having a child, I'm afraid that Master won't give me this leave." ”

When Li Chunyao heard this, she pretended to be angry and glanced at Han Hui, and said angrily: "You, you know how to call people to do things as if you are urging your life, if you delay the wind to have a child, hum ......"

The prime minister, who has always been majestic, was helpless in the face of his wife, so he had to smile and cough dryly: "I used your master and wife to pressure me, who is a master, and I don't give you a birthday gift." ”

In the face of Han Hui's "transfer contradiction", the third senior brothers hurriedly sent three exquisite boxes.

After receiving these gifts, Li Chunyao, who was originally smiling, sighed and muttered, "It's a pity that Xiaoyu can't come today." ”

On the same day, Wu Xiaoyu urged the Futu Sutra to fight against the old willow cicada sect of the Great Pavilion, and afterwards informed Han Hui that a dark wound had recurred, and only the three major divine doctors in the rivers and lakes could cure it, and he disappeared after explaining.

Han Hui knew that his three disciples had always been like this, and he didn't care, he was just worried about whether Wu Xiaoyu could successfully find the divine doctor, after all, among the three major divine doctors, the "Medicine Emperor" Chang Jin had already died, and the remaining "Holy Hand" Zhu Yansheng and the "Heavenly White Dragon" Hua Ren were also divine dragons, and it was indeed not easy to find them.

"Xiaoyu is fine, don't mention these on happy days. Han Hui comforted his wife, and then said to a few people: "You will follow me to the door to greet you later, Your Majesty will come over." ”

The king of a country also deigns to come to the prime minister's mansion to celebrate his birthday, which shows the high status of Han Hui.

The master and apprentice walked out of the hall, and the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was already full of banquets, and officials at all levels sat at separate tables, and more than half of the names in the hall were counted.

At this moment, a figure shuttled from the courtyard, like a ghost, and the officials who were drinking and talking were useless to notice it passing by.

Only Jiang Chengfeng had strong eyesight, saw the man, and moved sideways to block in front of Han Hui.

"The prime minister forgives sins, it's me. ”

When they arrived, everyone saw clearly that it was Qi Can.

Han Hui's eyes lit up, he knew that the current Qi Can no longer had to take care of the affairs of the inner palace, and was in charge of secret agent work, and when he suddenly appeared, something unusual must have happened.

"Say it. ”

Qi Can first congratulated Li Chunyao, and then said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, there is a change in the south, Your Majesty said that he can't come for the time being, let the old slave come and confess to his wife, and ask the prime minister to move to the imperial city to discuss." ”

If it is placed in normal times, it is a matter of official business, no matter how big or small, Han Hui will definitely do it himself, but today is Li Chunyao's 40th birthday, and he already owes a debt to his wife, so he can't wait to leave at this time.

Han Hui frowned, and then said, "You and Your Majesty said that I will be there in two hours." ”

Qi Can shook his head and said, "This matter is not trivial, the old slave has the courage to say it." ”

"Tang Wu, the old marshal of Xuanlian Mansion, and Yang Ziming, the chief of staff of Xuanwu Mansion, were assassinated. ”

"Now Liao Bailian and Tu Yaosong claim to be the hands of our Chenghua Mansion. ”

"Your Majesty thinks they want to rebel, so please ask the prime minister to come up with an idea. ”

Hearing this, Han Hui was already in a cold sweat, and he instantly understood the seriousness of the situation, and he never imagined that these two mansions would attack Chenghua Mansion at this time.

Just as he was thinking, his palms suddenly became soft, and it turned out that Li Chunyao was holding his hand.

Madame smiled, staring at Han Hui with a pair of watery eyes, and gently wiped away his frowning brow with the other hand.

"My man has always put state affairs first, so hurry up and enter the palace. ”

"Madame......"

Li Chunyao motioned to Han Hui not to say any more, and said, "If this is also a grievance, I won't marry you back then, go quickly." ”

"Good. ”

Han responded and turned into the inner hall to change clothes, while commanding a few people.

"Chengfeng and Xiaohua took me to preside over the birthday banquet, Xiao Huo went to the Tianlian Academy to summon the elders to stand by in my name, and Wen went in to arrange for spies to inquire in many ways, the more news, the better. ”

The three disciples received the order, and they also went to work separately.

Qi Can bowed deeply to Li Chunyao and said, "Madame understands righteousness and is really a heroine. ”

Li Chunyao stared at Han Hui's departing back, and said lightly: "Who made me like such a person." ”

Half an hour later, the imperial city repaired the heart.

In the room at this time, Zhang Yuntao had retired from all the palace people, leaving only him and Han Hui, as well as Qi Can who was waiting at the door.

Looking at the several secret reports in front of him, Han Hui also confirmed the authenticity of this matter.

Zhang Yuntao paced back and forth, obviously this incident made his heart irritated.

"Liao Bailian and Tu Yaosong are not stupid," Han Hui Zhengse said: "In fact, they have long been under the control of the imperial court, and they only need to be ministers in name, so why do they need to rebel under the pretext of doing so." ”

"That's right, they are risking the world's condemnation, which just gives the southern provinces a reason to join forces to strangle them in the name of counterinsurgency," Zhang Yuntao was also puzzled.

"No, I know them very well, and they definitely won't do things that they don't know they are sure about. Han thought back to what he had come up with.

"Unless someone supports them, they don't have to worry about the pressure of the court and other provinces to think they are strong. ”

"Liao Bailian, Tu wants to loosen ......"

Zhang Yuntao has long been familiar with government affairs in the past six months, and he grew up in Quanyue Mansion in the south, so he has naturally heard of these two mansions, and he is constantly chewing these two names in his heart at the moment.

"Your Majesty!

Suddenly, Han Hui started shooting.

"Liao Bailian and Tu Yaosong were comrades-in-arms when they were young. ”

Zhang Yuntao looked at Han Hui, this matter was not a secret, but he knew that the prime minister would never say useless words.

"Supervision Si Wenjin, also known as my fourth disciple, gave me a list of suspects when investigating Zhang Tianxi's accomplice in the rebellion last year. ”

"I know now, it turned out to be him, no wonder he has so much energy, even the Admiral of Jinyangmen worked hard for him. ”

In Han Hui's mind, a terrible thought had already appeared.

"This time the two governments are in turmoil, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from Zhang Tianxi and his gang. ”

"It's imperative to get rid of our own moths first. ”

The young emperor was also anxious and asked, "Who is it?"

Han Hui calmed down a little and said, "This person's identity is unusual, leave the matter of arresting him to Wen Jin, and Your Majesty should not come forward." ”

"In case I make a mistake in judgment, the political responsibility will be borne by me and Wen Jin, Your Majesty is still young, and it is not appropriate to give this handle to the ministers. ”

"This person is, Wang Fuchao. ”
