Yun Chang was shocked, unexpectedly, an army from the non-Ning country entered Ning country, but the court never received any news...
"An army must have at least tens of thousands of people. If there is any real conspiracy, I'm afraid tens of thousands of people are not enough. How could so many people enter Ning Kingdom without making a sound?"
Xiao Yuanshan looked into the distance, his eyes were a little blank, "Break it into pieces. I'm afraid it was disguised as ordinary people, or a caravan, and quietly entered Ningguo. I can see that there are at least 100,000 people stationed there. It has been planned for a long time. Even if a team of 100,000 people is broken up into pieces, it will not be possible for all of them to enter Ning Kingdom in a few years."
100,000 people
Yun Chang's complexion gradually became dignified, and she naturally knew that as an elite teacher, one hundred thousand people could do too many things, and even destroy an entire country.
No wonder, Prince Jing has been plotted one after another recently, probably because the other party is already prepared, but they just think that Prince Jing is the biggest threat, so they want to get rid of Prince Jing first before causing trouble. Yunshang couldn't imagine what would happen if Ningguo was faced with such a deep and long-term calculation without Prince Jing.
"Grandpa, Prince Jing, Prince Jing was taken away. We must find Prince Jing immediately. Do you want to talk to Emperor Father first?" Yun Shang felt her head was a little blank, and quickly turned around and said to Xiao Yuanshan.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Xiao Yuanshan smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Shang'er, since I have discovered this matter in advance, it is not so bad that it cannot be saved. Don't worry, calm down. Where is the emperor, I will naturally go and talk to him. Your most urgent task now is to find Prince Jing. Moreover, Grandpa knows that you have deployed some troops in various places in Ning Kingdom and even other countries over the years, and try to make these people It works, and I know you can do it."
Yun Chang froze for a moment, and then slowly calmed down. Grandpa was right, she couldn't get confused, "Grandpa, don't worry, Chang'er should go back and think about it before discussing with grandpa."
After bidding farewell to Xiao Yuanshan, Yun Chang returned to Qingxin Hall and locked herself in the inner hall. Qian Yin and Qin Yi only saw her writing and drawing on paper, all of which were things that others could not understand.
One hundred thousand people. Even if it is broken down into parts, in addition to taking a long time, there must be someone to cooperate with the inside and outside, and that person should not be low in status, otherwise, a hundred thousand people entered the country of Ning, but disappeared inexplicably. attract attention. However, no one found out about it, which proved that someone had concealed it.
The first thing Yun Shang thought of was Ning Ye.
Ning Ye, according to Ning Qian's investigation, the current Ning Ye is definitely impersonated by others, and this impersonation has lasted for many years. Before that, I had been wondering why and who made such an arrangement. After all, although the Shunqing Palace is noble, it has no real power. Although Ning Ye has the title of Prince of the County, he has no real power. Looking at it now, I feel that if Ning Ye's existence is to cover up the whereabouts of these more than 100,000 people, it is just right.
Ning Ye has no real power, but has a good relationship with many officials in the court. It is precisely because he has no real power that those officials are very relieved. If Ning Ye would take care of things from time to time and do a little favor, I am afraid that many people would still be willing to do it.
I remember that some time ago, Wang Jinhuan was also investigating Ningye. Could it be that Prince Jing was aware of this matter, so he suspected Ningye
Thinking of this, Yun Chang quietly left the palace in a hurry and went straight to Wang's house.
Yunshang had been to Wang's house before, and the housekeeper at the door recognized her and hurriedly welcomed her in. Yunshang was sitting in the hall, and Mrs. Wang hurried in after a while, "My wife has seen Princess Yunshang, princess But came to find Yan'er?"
Yun Chang was about to say that she was looking for Wang Jinhuan, but she suddenly realized that although she was a princess, she was an unmarried girl. If she said directly that she was looking for Wang Jinhuan, it would not be very good, so she smiled and said, "That's right, I haven't seen Yan'er for two days, and I sneaked out of the palace today just to ask Yan'er to go shopping with me."
Mrs. Wang quickly responded, "My wife, let someone call Yan'er here."
Yun Chang nodded, thinking of Wang Jinyan, she chatted with Mrs. Wang, "I heard that Mrs. Wang recently showed Yan Erxiang a son of a family in the capital?"
Mrs. Wang was taken aback, knowing that Yunshang and Wang Jinyan had gotten a little closer recently, presumably it was Yan'er who told her, but she didn't know if Yan'er invited her to be a lobbyist, so she smiled cautiously He laughed and said, "That's the case. My wife thought about it. Yan'er is not young anymore, and she will be seventeen in a few days. If she doesn't marry again, she will become an old girl. A few days ago, I asked the emperor without telling my wife. She said she was going to be a soldier, but she frightened the courtier. This girl’s family can’t even do embroidery all day long. She only knows how to ride a horse and brush a gun. Who would dare to marry her? As my son's biological mother, I naturally have to make good plans for her."
Yun Shang smiled lightly and said, "Yan'er should indeed find a husband's family, but Mrs. Wang must be very clear about these aristocratic families in the imperial city, and there are many twists and turns in the aristocratic family. , Yan'er has a straightforward personality, if we really put her in that den of tigers and wolves, I'm afraid it will kill her and make her unhappy."
Mrs. Wang didn't expect Yun Shang to say that. After a long silence, she sighed, "It's all my fault for spoiling this daughter."
"I think Yan'er's straightforward temperament is rare in this imperial city, but with Yan'er's temperament, you really have to think carefully about finding a husband and son-in-law. Mrs. Wang Rong Chang'er said something that shouldn't be said. Since Mr. Wang is now According to the situation in the court, even if Yan'er marries someone with no family background, it doesn't matter. I can see that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang both prefer Yan'er. If this is the case, it is better to find someone with a simpler family relationship. The one who really loves Yan'er..." Yun Shang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "The princess is right."
"Shang'er...Shang'er..." Wang Jinyan's joyful voice came from outside, Yun Shang smiled and looked at the door, and saw Wang Jinyan rushing in, and when she saw Mrs. Wang sitting in the hall, she quickly stopped He stepped forward, coughed lightly, restrained the joyful look on his face, and smiled at Mrs. Wang, "Mother..."
Mrs. Wang nodded, "The princess asked you to go shopping together. You don't need to embroider today. Go out with the princess."
embroidery? Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, looked at Wang Jinyan, and saw the unconcealable joy on Wang Jinyan's face. She raised her hand and walked up to Mrs. Wang and hugged Mrs. Wang, "Mother is the best!" But suddenly " With a squeak, he withdrew his hand.
Mrs. Wang frowned, took Wang Jinyan's hand, and saw that Wang Jinyan's hands were full of needle holes, some of which were bleeding. Mrs. Wang showed a little pity on her face, "Look, what's wrong with this?" Made it."
Wang Jinyan pouted, and withdrew her hand, "The embroidery needle is really difficult to use, much more difficult to use than a spear, no matter what I say, I want it to embroider, but it stabs my needle. hand."
Mrs. Wang sighed, "Forget it, you don't need to learn embroidery anymore, just go and play." Then she said goodbye to Yunshang, and retreated.
Yun Chang looked at Wang Jinyan with a smile, "Unexpectedly, this small embroidery needle made our Miss Wang raise her hand and surrender."
There was no trace of guilt on Wang Jinyan's face, "What's the big deal, everyone knows that stuff, what do I learn to do, but horseback riding and archery, there are not many daughters in the imperial city club, but I know how to do it." ah."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard the words. After laughing, she didn't dare to forget the purpose of coming here today, and said quickly, "Where is your brother? I have something urgent to find him."
Wang Jinyan knew Yunshang's temperament, since he said it was urgent, something must have happened, but he didn't forget to joke, "So you didn't come to see me, but it hurt my heart, forget it, I I'll take you to find my brother."
Yun Shang patted her hand and said, "Damn girl."
According to Wang Jinyan, it is not only her who has suffered from the torment recently, but also Wang Jinhuan. It is said that Wang Jinhuan's life has become even more difficult recently. Wang Jinhuan sent some photos to let him choose a wife.
When Yunshang and Wang Jinyan went to Wang Jinhuan's yard, they saw Wang Jinhuan lying on a large pile of portraits mourning the spring and autumn. Miss Qin looks gentle and virtuous, but Miss Zhao looks better, Miss Qian is more lively and cheerful, Miss Qi is understanding, and Miss Su, Miss Wang, and Miss Sun... "
Yun Chang almost choked on her own saliva, but coughed for a long time.
Wang Jinhuan heard the voice, looked over, his eyes flashed with curiosity, "Princess? Why did the princess remember the palace? Could it be that the prince has news."
Wang Jinyan also heard that Prince Jing was missing. He just saw Yunshang but didn't think of it. Now that he heard his brother talking about it, he hurriedly said with concern, "Princess, Prince Jing is all right."
Yun Shang shook her head, "I don't know yet, but today I came to find Prince Wang for another matter, but it is also a matter that has a lot to do with the disappearance of the emperor's uncle." There was no smile on his face, and his face was full of seriousness, "My lord, I want to ask one thing. Did your lord ask you to investigate Ning Ye some time ago? What is the result of your investigation?"
When Wang Jinhuan heard Yun Shang's question, his eyes flickered away, and he looked around and said, "Could it be that the disappearance of the prince has something to do with Na Ning Ye?"
"Now I'm not sure if there is, but I think it's related. You can ignore the results of your investigation and let me talk about the results of my investigation. Then Ning Ye is not the original Ning Ye, someone pretended to be." Yun Shang His expression was calm and authentic.
Seeing Yun Shang talking about this matter so calmly, Wang Jinhuan was slightly choked, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "The princess is right, and we found out that this is almost the result, but the prince's disappearance and This fake Ning Ye has something to do with it?"
"I can't say for sure that this matter has something to do with Ning Ye, I just doubt it." Yun Shang sighed, and after a while, said, "You are someone trusted by the emperor, and I will not hide it from you. Palace, he told me that he found traces of the Feining army stationed in Qilin Mountain..."
Only then did Wang Jinhuan suddenly change his color, "It turned out that it was exactly as the prince expected, someone led an army and quietly entered Ningguo."
As Prince Jing expected? Yunshang noticed Wang Jinhuan's words and looked over with some doubts. Wang Jinhuan nodded and said, "The prince has been assassinated several times before, and the assassination power is getting stronger and stronger. Last year During an assassination, the prince accidentally bumped into a small team. Judging from the equipment and accent, it was not from Ningguo. Although there are actually quite a few such teams in Ningguo, Ningguo also sent some such people to Other countries, but the prince always felt that something was wrong, so he sent people to investigate when he came back, but he got very little news, but he found something wrong, for example, Ning Ye once asked people to erase the records of foreigners entering Ning country .”
"So the prince asked me to investigate Ning Ye. After my investigation, I found that Ning Ye seemed to be different from what was rumored before. We sent people to sneak into the Shunqing Palace and found that there was only Ning Ye in the Shunqing Palace. There, like Tietong, no one can get in. I asked some old people in Shunqing Palace, and they all said that Ning Ye's temperament has changed..."
"Wang Jinhuan has changed so much, and anyone who is interested will know it after a little investigation. Didn't King Shunqing and Princess Shunqing suspect it?" Yun Shang frowned.
Wang Jinhuan smiled wryly, "Of course I doubted it, but this Ning Ye has no trace of disguise, and even the birthmark is exactly the same as the original Ning Ye..."
Yun Chang understood and nodded, "I know about this matter, the most urgent thing is to find the emperor's uncle, so I will go back to the palace first, if there is any news, let Yan'er inform me."
Wang Jinyan nodded, "Okay, the emperor said, I am under the command of the prince, and I should do things for the prince."
Yunshang returned to the palace, sat on the soft couch for a long time, and then said, "You have been by my side, you have heard what happened today, and you have heard the news, shouldn't you tell me, Prince Jing, what happened? Where is it? If this 100,000-strong army makes a move, I'm afraid that Ningguo will be in chaos."
The room was quiet, no one spoke, Yunshang closed her eyes, with a tired expression on her face, she raised her voice and called Qianyin in, "Send a message to Ning Qian, summon those who can be summoned, I have something to order tonight. "
Qianyin responded and retreated, but the woman's calm voice suddenly came to mind in the room, "What about the chaos in Ningguo? The master has worked so hard to defend Ningguo and resist foreign enemies, but he is still suspected by Emperor Ning. It's really the king of other countries." Humans will never give their master a way out. The previous assassinations only took the master's life, but this time, the master was just taken away..."
Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, and some inexplicable emotions surged in her heart, "So, the one who caught Uncle Huang this time...was... Father Huang?"
A sneer came, "Hehe, it is naturally Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning has always been afraid of the master, and this time he captured the master only because he wanted the master to hand over the half of the soldier talisman. The master obviously agreed. On the day you got married, you handed over the half of the soldier talisman, but Emperor Ning still refused to believe it!"
Yun Shang paused, but King Jing actually agreed to his father, that they would hand over half of the military talismans on the day they got married? Why did he never mention such a thing to himself, and why did he do this
"No, the emperor's uncle was clearly lured out by Wen Ruyu pretending to be me. Wen Ruyu once kidnapped me, and the Wen family was very close to Prime Minister Li. The person who kidnapped me and handed me over to Wen Ruyu was clearly Prime Minister Li's. Father..." Yun Chang gritted her teeth, a flash of disbelief flashed in her heart.
"Wen Ruyu and Wen Yunqing have always been at odds. Wen Ruyu wants to marry the master, but Wen Yunqing wants her to enter the palace as a concubine and seek a better future for the Wen family. The person who traded with Prime Minister Li is Wen Yunqing. Wen Ruyu is also a bad person." Stupid, she made a request to Wen Yunqing, asking Wen Yunqing to ask the Li Manor to kidnap you and send you to her, she agreed to Wen Yunqing to enter the palace as a concubine. On the other hand, she insisted that if the Li Manor handed you over to her , she made you disappear from then on so that she could take the position of Princess Jing. For this reason, she made a deal with the emperor, promising the emperor to find a way to lure the master out, let the emperor kidnap the master without a trace, and let the master's Therefore, people turned their attention to the Li family or other forces. The content of the emperor's deal with her is to let her marry the master as a side concubine."
Yun Chang felt a pain in her heart, and secretly smiled wryly. She was really right, her father is really a good emperor!
"Qin Yi, go and invite my grandfather to come and see..." Yun Shang raised her voice.
There is nothing wrong with her father wanting a military talisman, because he is the emperor. It's just that Emperor Father didn't know that an army of 100,000 people had already been stationed in Ningguo. If something happened to King Jing now, I'm afraid Ningguo would really be in chaos.
After a while, Qin Yi brought Xiao Yuanshan here, Yunshang went to the outer hall, asked Qin Yi and Qianyin to guard the door, and told Xiao Yuanshan all the news she had obtained.
Xiao Yuanshan was silent for a long while before he smiled wryly, "The emperor is really living and going back. Ten years ago, I told him that Prince Jing can't move. He needs such a person to be able to contain the Li family. King Jing has not yet become the God of War, and now he is even more immobile. Perhaps it was when Prince Jing mentioned the military talisman to him that the emperor remembered the military talisman. The more I think about it, the more I feel that half of the soldier talismans fall into Prince Jing's hands, so I'm not at ease, that's why I thought about it."
Yun Chang remained silent and did not speak.
Xiao Yuanshan also noticed it, and smiled, "Fortunately, it hasn't caused a catastrophe, Shang'er, leave this matter to me, and I will persuade the emperor to let Prince Jing go, but if you want such a thing, you can't do it." Show up again, after Prince Jing comes out, you have a good talk with him, you two... get married early."
