The sand table remained where it was.
Wu Yong watched Shaoyao carry Hua Zhi over the threshold with her chair and the other person, and his mouth twitched. "Miss, shall we have a plate?"
Hua Zhi shook her head, "Let's play with Shaoyao, her combat awareness is better than mine."
Shaoyao would never accept this compliment, "No way, I've never beaten you before."
Hua Zhi raised her hand and pinched her face, "Send me back to the house first."
Shaoyao pushed her away with a groan. Wu Yong turned back to look at Hua Yizheng and said, "The old man taught me well."
Hua Yizheng shook his head, "I didn't teach her anything."
Wu Yong just thought he was being modest, so he bowed slightly and walked towards the sand table. The ugly girl had already come out of the house.
In the room, Zeng Han was sitting on a small stool reading a book.
Hua Zhi called him over and handed him a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone as well as some calligraphy. "This is my grandfather's handwriting. It's not enough to just recognize the characters. You need to write more."
Zeng Han took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but did not take the copybook. "I want yours."
"My handwriting is too stingy and not suitable for you. My grandfather's calligraphy has become famous and there are countless people in Beijing who ask for it. You don't know how lucky you are." Hua Zhi slapped the copybook on his little face, grabbed his little hand and covered it before letting go. Then, she pushed the wheels unflexibly to go to the desk.
Before she could push it, the wheelchair started to move. Hua Zhi did not look back, but let the child push her and said, "You can also become a writer in the future, but you must be able to write."
Zeng Han said "oh" without any emotion. He wanted Hua Zhi's handwriting only because she was the only one he recognized in the world, not because of the quality of his handwriting.
Hua Zhi didn't force him to do anything. It was good for a person to grow up according to his own personality. She just needed to give him some guidance and prevent him from going astray.
Touching his head, Hua Zhi spread out the paper. The child had obviously done this job before and began to grind the ink skillfully.
What Hua Zhi had to do was to write down as much of the military strategy book as she could remember.
She did not expect that everyone in her family would have talent in this area. As a young person, she did not even expect that. She had such an idea out of selfishness to free up those brothers who were doing hard labor. Whether they continued to write or practiced riding and archery, both were more useful than just doing hard labor.
She placed her hopes on the two generations above. The scholars in the Hua family were always knowledgeable in more than just classic historical collections. Take her father for example, he had a very high level of attainment in numbers. She had seen him deduce the calendar, a field she knew nothing about, but her father could do it with ease.
Her second uncle, who had always been silent, was good at military tactics and deployment of troops. She had seen his annotations in several books on military tactics, which were very insightful. Although it had only been limited to paper talk so far, wasn't the opportunity here now
Among the fifty-four people, if four of them can gain a foothold in the military camp, the Hua family will be established.
But she didn't need to worry about these things. She just needed to memorize the military strategies so that her brothers would have a direction to exert their efforts.
It was also on this day that Gu Yanxi returned to the capital.
He went straight to Qisusi, where Chen Qing and Qu Qi were already waiting.
"Chief." Qu Qi handed over a long box with both hands.
Gu Yanxi took it and gently pressed it on the table, "Is the second brother anxious?"
"Yes, there has been no news from Yinshan Pass. He probably guessed that something had changed. I have met a lot of people with him in the past few days, both civil officials and military generals. I have included them all in the list."
Gu Yanxi tapped the box gently. "What else did he do?"
"He has been to the Fifth Prince several times in the past few days. I don't know how he managed to coax the Fifth Prince into trusting him. I guess he is looking for a scapegoat."
Gu Yanxi sneered, "Go on."
"Yes, the Tong family sent a girl to Concubine Hui. The emperor has been staying there these days, and he has been rewarding her every day. It is said that the emperor does not visit her every night. Eunuch Lai Fu said that the girl knows some new tricks, and the emperor is probably enjoying it now."
"What did Doctor Yu say?"
"Doctor Yu said he is a doctor and only cares about patients. If the emperor falls ill, he can be called in again."
This is what Doctor Yu would say. Gu Yanxi turned to look at Chen Qing, "How are you doing?"
"I have followed your instructions and have captured all the people held by the Second Prince. We can take them out of his control at any time."
"Have you figured out Zeng Xian's case?"
"Yes." Chen Qing's eyes were full of coldness. "The Minister of Revenue Fang Hongzhi is the Second Prince's biggest supporter among the civil servants. I found out that he had received help from the Tong family when he was young. If he didn't have the Tong family behind him, he wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of Minister of Revenue. Not a single tael of the 70,000 taels of silver went into Zeng Xian's pocket. A small portion went to Fang Hongzhi, and most of it went into the Second Prince's pocket."
Gu Yanxi looked at the territory map hanging on the wall, his eyes fell on Yinshan Pass, "I remember Zhu Bowen was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue three years ago."
"Yes." Chen Qing checked the Ministry of Revenue, and naturally checked all the people involved. "Master Zhu is the eldest girl's grandfather. What happened back then had nothing to do with him."
Gu Yanxi naturally knew this. There was a great possibility that Zhu Bowen would take the position after Fang Hongzhi's downfall. He had a good impression of Zhu Bowen. Not everyone could be like him, who, after his old friend got into trouble, risked the emperor's wrath and tried his best to protect his friend's family. Such officials were more useful.
As for the emperor, Gu Yanxi lowered his eyes. Although the emperor's uncle was afraid of the Hua family, he strangely had a good impression of those who protected the Hua family. It could be seen from the fact that Zhu Bowen was repeatedly commended, and even the tributes he gave were more than others.
"Have you got irrefutable evidence for everything?"
"Yes." Chen Qing held a wooden tray in his hand, which contained files, memorials and other things.
Gu Yanxi put the package he brought back on top, opened the box and looked through it carefully, then put it on top as well, and then put on the mask, "Notify the three divisions to arrest the second prince and bring him to the Haoxin Palace to see the emperor."
"yes."
Walking out of the gate, Gu Yanxi saw Lai Fu running towards her hurriedly, but after not seeing him for such a short time, he seemed to have aged a little.
Lai Fu bowed deeply and said, "You are back. The emperor just got the news and immediately sent me to invite you."
The two walked forward one after the other. Lai Fu took a quick half-step and stuck close to Gu Yanxi and whispered, "I'm afraid the girl from Concubine Hui's place is not from a good background. From what I've seen, she only knows the tricks of a brothel. Since the previous incident, the emperor has been a little... Now he seems to be very satisfied with the girl."
Gu Yanxi paused, "Isn't she a girl from the Tong family?"
Qu Qi also looked over quickly, but Yisu didn't find anything wrong, and the Qisusi didn't check it carefully either.
"Her surname is Tong, and she was sent here by Madam Tong. I have seen her twice while serving the Emperor. There was nothing wrong with her appearance and posture, but I always felt something was wrong. Later, I learned about the methods she used and then I became suspicious."
"check."
A person flashed by in the hidden place.
