After Yunshang finished speaking, she came back to her senses: "I remember that most of Xia Guoqiu hunting before would choose a hunting ground slightly north, because there are more beasts that can be hunted. Why did you choose the south this time?"
"Ganhe County and Yelang Country are both in the north." Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's just a matter of sounding east and west."
"Moreover, from that palace to Ganhe County and Yelang Country, you can choose two routes that do not overlap at all. This way, I feel more at ease."
Yunshang suddenly understood, and Qianzhuo pretended to be her and went to Ganhe County. At the same time, they would send some other people to pretend to be her to Ganhe County to confuse the enemy.
But the enemy is not stupid. There are probably people ambushing all the way to Ganhe County. Luo Qingyan is afraid that she will run into those people. In this way, it is the most appropriate way to choose a route that does not overlap at all.
Yun Chang was not afraid of those people, but nodded: "I see."
The people she cares about should be more life-saving.
Ling Ziyue didn't stay in prison for a few more days, but the matter of the Kongming lantern catching fire had a result.
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple jointly arrested everyone who had touched the Kongming lantern and interrogated them one by one. After five or six days of continuous interrogation, someone finally confessed."
"Who is the confession?"
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, she knew exactly why the Kongming Lantern caught fire.
"It's a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry who participated in the construction of the Kongming Lantern." Qian Jue lowered his voice and said, "It's not just a scapegoat. The craftsman did tamper with the Kongming Lantern, but he was discovered not long after he did it."
"The evidence is convincing. After signing and pledging, it was dealt with secretly. It's just that he committed suicide in fear of crime..."
Yun Chang nodded: "There is more than one death to spare."
"There's more than enough to die." Qian Zhuo nodded, and said: "Your Majesty ordered that after disposing of that person, he secretly installed a murderer behind the scenes."
"Huh? Who?"
"Xia Houjing." Qian Zhuo lowered his voice: "Most of the people in Jincheng have only a half-knowledge of what happened in Liucang Siyang, and their perception of Xia Houjing is not too bad. Before that, everyone thought that Xia Houjing was dead."
"Your Majesty not only put the name of the murderer behind the scenes on Xia Houjing, but also made the matter public." Qian Zhuo glanced at Yunshang: "Now, the entire Jincheng, and even soon, the entire Xia Kingdom will know, Xia Hou Jing is not dead, and even intends to murder His Majesty and Empress Empress."
Yun Shang nodded: "The timing is just right. When Xia Houjing made trouble with Liu Cang before, His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne. Although he is the crown prince, compared with Xia Houjing's reputation and prestige in Xia Kingdom for so many years, he is still It’s a lot worse. It’s not a good strategy to spread Xia Houjing.”
"But now, His Majesty has been on the throne for more than a year, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the people also praise His Majesty. However, Xia Houjing has disappeared for more than a year, and was charged with treason and defection to the enemy before. Such a comparison, the people naturally support His Majesty more of."
Qian Zhuo nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty probably thought so too, that's why there was such a fuss. The slaves ordered the hidden stakes outside to listen to the voices of the people outside. There were many people who talked about this, but most of them were He is blaming Xia Houjing."
Yun Chang nodded: "That's good."
After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up again: "Xiahou Jingmin has lost his heart now, and his biggest bargaining chip is gone. Coupled with the arrest warrant issued by His Majesty some time ago, the people of the Cao family are probably more like being put on fire now." Grilling."
Qian Zhuo nodded: "If the Cao family hid Xia Houjing, I'm afraid they are very anxious now, thinking that Xia Houjing is really a hot potato, and they don't want to keep it, and they dare not throw it away."
Yunshang let out a "hmm".
"Keep an eye on the Cao Mansion, if you have any news, come and report it to me in time."
After a pause, he continued: "The news received is divided into two parts, one is reported to me, and the other is presented to His Majesty."
It was she who sent the hidden stakes to infiltrate Cao's mansion before, and she also placed hidden stakes around Cao's mansion, so she has a better understanding of the affairs of Cao's mansion.
But if she went to Yelang Kingdom, she couldn't send all the things in Jincheng to her by flying pigeons, waiting for her to make a decision.
I'm afraid it can only be handed over to Luo Qingyan.
It's just... Luo Qingyan said that he has a lot of government affairs on weekdays...
Yun Chang frowned, and changed her words again: "You don't have to report everything to His Majesty. The things come to you first, and you record them one by one, and then screen them. If it is urgent, report it to Your Majesty immediately." There. If it is not urgent, put it in the booklet, and give it to His Majesty to read every once in a while."
"If you really can't grasp the weight, you can discuss it with Wang Wanzhi, the imperial servant."
Qianzhuo hastily responded, and looked at Yunshang again: "Xia Houjing has already been released, and the servant feels that this is the signal that the empress and His Majesty want to close the net. I am afraid that Cao's mansion will also jump." It won't be a few days."
"Having said that, you can't take it lightly, because the Cao family may not be able to jump around today, and you have to be careful. After all, the Cao family is one of the famous families in Jincheng. Fight to the death with us..."
"Even if we may win in the end, I'm afraid we will have a lot of losses."
Qian Zhuo nodded, and smiled sweetly: "The servant understands what the empress means. What the empress means is that although the Cao family is not our opponent, it is best to outsmart it to avoid unnecessary losses, right?"
"That's what it means."
After Yunshang finished exhorting, he remembered the news that Qian Zhuo had reported at the beginning: "So, if someone admits to this crime and identifies the mastermind behind the scenes as Xia Houjing, then Ling Ziyue can be let go, right?"
"Yes." Qianzhuo nodded: "The servant girl found out that His Majesty has sent someone to invite Ling Ziyue to the prison."
Yunshang raised her eyebrows, thought for a while, and ordered Qianzhuo: "Go to the post house and invite a few female relatives into the palace."
After a short drink, he understood Yun Shang's intention: "Your Majesty, you want to send back those who are locked up in the palace?"
"Yes." Yun Chang nodded: "Send someone to send a letter, and then go to the meeting hall, and ask His Majesty to bring Ling Ziyue over later. Ling Ziyue is here, and he also knows that I will send those female relatives The matter of staying in the palace can also restrain the few female family members, lest they don't know the importance and cause any trouble."
"Yes." Qian Zhuo replied, bowed and retreated.
Yun Shang rubbed her fingers lightly in her sleeves, and the person behind the scenes who played them around would never have thought that Luo Qingyan would directly place this charge on Xia Houjing.
I don't know, what will he do next.
