Yun Shang was taken aback by such a battle, paused slightly, and then raised her eyes to look at Luo Qingyan, but Luo Qingyan didn't show any abnormality, just holding Yun Shang's hand slightly moved.
Yun Shang naturally understood that this was a manifestation of his emotional fluctuations, so he only squinted his eyes and said, "Where is Yicheng?"
A middle-aged man came forward with a few steps on his knees: "Weichen Yicheng Tang Jingyi."
Yun Shang nodded: "Since you are Yi Cheng, who are these people?"
Before the Yicheng could answer, another man who was kneeling beside him hurriedly said, "Return to the empress, this minister is the Zhizhou Wang Bingyin here."
As soon as he finished speaking, another man hurriedly picked up: "This minister is the magistrate of this place, Li Jinyang."
Yun Shang heard the words, but sneered: "Did I ask you?"
The two of them were all stunned, and there was a faint cold sweat on their foreheads.
Yun Shang's eyes were fixed on them: "Your Majesty never likes to mobilize people, so although His Majesty's itinerary for this autumn hunting has been arranged half a month ago, he has also specially instructed not to let people along the way Officials came to meet you."
"I also expected that the officials of the small remote counties might not know the imperial decree, but they didn't expect that such a incident would happen just after leaving Jincheng. You are... resisting the decree and not respecting it." …”
As soon as the hat of resisting decree and disrespect was pushed up, the two officials became more and more panicked, and they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The empress forgives the sin, your majesty forgives the sin, I just, I just think, your majesty and the empress I just left Jincheng, the road is bumpy, and I might not be used to it, so I thought to come here and ask if there is anything your majesty and empress need me to do... "
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, just snorted casually, raised her eyes, and stopped looking at the two kneeling on the ground who kept kowtowing.
Luo Qingyan opened his mouth unhurriedly, but his voice sounded like he was spitting ice: "If I need anything, I will naturally tell Yicheng. To resist the order is to resist the order. Why are there so many unreasonable reasons? Come here , Dismiss these two from their official positions, and then each of them will hit twenty boards and throw them out."
"yes."
The guards pulled the two of them down neatly, and when Yi Cheng saw this, his eyes were full of fright, and his body was trembling faintly.
Luo Qingyan, however, only glanced at the postman, and directly ordered: "Move the things to the backyard first, ask someone to prepare hot water, and wait for the empress to take a bath and rest."
Yicheng was about to answer, but heard several voices that should be.
Yi Cheng paused for a moment, and then he realized that Luo Qing said these few words, and he was instructing his personal palace servant, so he bent down and knelt down again, not daring to speak.
Luo Qingyan only held Yun Shang's hand, walked straight around him, entered the post house, walked through the front yard, and went straight to the back yard.
Someone had already come a few steps ahead and tidied up the room properly. Because this place is close to Jincheng, the inn is not too prosperous, but it is comfortable and has everything that one should have.
Yunshang and Luo Qingyan sat on a chair together: "This place is close to Jincheng. Before the carriage, His Majesty was still saying that under the emperor's feet, even ordinary local officials are a little more sensible than local officials in other places, so as not to be caught. If people seize the opportunity, losing their official position is a small thing, but losing their lives is a big thing. But I saw that the two just now, one magistrate and the other magistrate, are less discerning than the other."
Luo Qingyan quite agrees: "It's quite short-sighted."
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but raised the corners of my mouth and smiled: "There are not many local officials around Jincheng who are as blind as they are. We met each other on the first day we left the palace, and we met each other at the first sight. , but it’s really not easy.”
Yun Chang raised her eyelids: "Your Majesty thinks something is wrong?"
"Um."
Luo Qingyan only lazily answered yes, and stopped talking, but Yun Shang couldn't help scratching her heart: "Just because you met two such short-sighted people all at once, Your Majesty felt that Is there a problem with this?"
Luo Qingyan glanced at Yunshang, without any intention of explaining.
Yun Chang was not annoyed, but thought carefully about every word said by the two of them from the beginning to the end, pondered for a while, and then nodded in agreement: "It seems to be quite strange. , but what are they doing it for?"
for what
"It can't be rushed to death."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something: "Xia Houjing and the others may have two suspicions during this trip. Name, put on a show of Mingxiu plank road secretly hiding Chencang, quietly hiding in Jincheng, waiting for Xia Houjing to make a move, and he will be able to catch him all in one go."
"The second is that they will suspect that I will wait for the opportunity to leave to investigate the dragon vein."
Yun Shang hooked the corners of her mouth: "After such an incident today, they will report back your reaction, and someone like Xia Houjing who knows you and me very well will be able to guess it quickly. What is here is the real you and me, not the fake ones that others pretend to be."
"In this way, Xia Houjing can relax a little bit, at least it proves that you and I have really left Jincheng."
"Try once like this today, and wait for another test once or twice on the way. After arriving at the palace, let someone come to test you once or twice. You don't need to send people to follow us all the way, and you and I will be able to count your whereabouts. It's in your hands."
Yun Chang figured out the joints, and couldn't help but sneered: "It's really a good strategy to come out like this. Right and left, Xia Houjing is betting this time with the intention of killing and breaking the net. These people who have been placed in various places before Local officials, the official position is not very big, and it is not of much use to him. It is also excellent to find ways to make the best use of what is available. The big deal is to promise them that the official positions they have been removed by us now wait for him to seize the throne When they are enthroned, let them get promoted and get rich."
Luo smiled lightly: "Well, the Empress has guessed Xia Houjing's thoughts thoroughly."
Yun Shang glanced at Luo Qingyan, then squinted her eyes: "Since I have figured out the conspiracy, it will be easy to crack it."
Luo Qingyan didn't seem to take this matter too seriously, he just smiled lightly: "Crack it? Why do you want to crack it?"
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but look at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan licked the corners of his mouth towards Yunshang, with a look of planning: "Left and right, we are all going to go to the palace honestly, so why be afraid of his repeated temptations?"
And so it is.
It's just that this matter can be used one or two.
"Wait until the palace is approaching, when Xia Houjing sent someone to test it out, I deliberately exposed some flaws..."
