Qin Yan thought about it for a long time before she said, "Wine."
There are tens of thousands of altars of good wine in Guanglu Temple.
Lu Ze said, "Could it be that Tantai Yi's attack was Fencheng's idea?"
Most of the houses in the capital are made of wood. Once a fire occurs, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Su Huaian said: "The capital of Qi State is far from the capital. Tantai has been dormant for many years. Xu Xutuzhi is definitely not to destroy the capital. He wants Daqi to come in and gain the capital."
"That's right." Xiao Yu said slowly: "In May there are not only Dragon Boat Festival sacrifices, but also another major event."
The faces of everyone changed suddenly.
In May, there is indeed another major event - the Mongolian embassy coming to Beijing.
In the past ten years, Dazhou and Mongolia have been in constant friction, winning and losing battles. The Ministry of Households allocates funds to support the north every year, and the people on the border are still struggling. Mongolia's entry into Beijing this time is for diplomatic relations and mutual markets.
And the most distasteful of Da Zhou's friendship with Mongolia is the state of Qi.
Su Huaian said, "So, Tantai Yi moved so fast just for this hunt."
Lu Ze said solemnly: "Hunting, then there are too many opportunities for him to do it. Sacrifice the gods and ancestors, hunt for the wild... And the second prince who came to Beijing this time was the second prince who was the favorite of the old khan. ."
Lu Ze added: "It's no accident that Tantai Yi sees the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple and Taichang Siqing. It is very likely that they have been doing things for Tantai Yi."
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Zhuang Sheng and said, "When did these two become officials?"
Zhuang Sheng took out a note from his pocket and said, "They were both personally promoted by the Chu family seven years ago. One entered Taichang Temple and the other entered Guanglu Temple."
And let’s talk about the Chu family well—
The Chu family has been wearing hairpins for generations, and their ancestors were even more successful in founding the country. Thirty years ago, the Xue, He, and Mu families together could not equal the Chu family. She was firmly in the back position, and served as three thousand beauties in the harem, but none of them dared to go over her head. No matter how stupid and incompetent Emperor Jiaxuan was, he also understood the technique of imperial checks and balances. At first, he personally promoted the three families of Xue, He, and Mu, but now it seems that they are raising tigers, but the original intention was to divide the power of the Chu family.
In order to reassure the emperor, the Chu family handed over a lot of military power. Emperor Jiaxuan wanted to return the military talisman, so he no longer suppressed the Chu family.
The military power of the Chu family changed the political power, and the Duke of Chu took the position of the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, which was a step back. , in charge of the Ministry of Officials, is tantamount to mastering the power of life and death over all officials.
After this, from the Hanlin Academy to the Supreme Court, from the central to the local, there are shadows of the Chu family everywhere.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Chu family has the ability to guard hundreds of officials.
But although the Chu family loves power, they will not really give birth to the heart of treason.
Seven years ago, this time was delicate.
At that time, Su Ling had already married into the palace of the King of Jin, and the Chu family and the Su family were already in-laws. If the "Duke Zhenguo" wanted to promote two people, the Empress Dowager Chu would not lose face.
"So, Tantai Yi pretended to be Duke Zhen Guo to promote the friendship between the two surnames, not only to provoke a national dispute, but also to make friends with the Chu family?" Lu Ze shook his head in disbelief and said: " This man's mind is too deep..."
Su Huaian said: "Tantai Yi Ruo is not very thoughtful, and he can't fool so many people even if he takes a hundred steps. Besides, seven years ago, he had the idea of forming a party for selfishness, befriending the Chu family, and promoting his own people. within reason."
Lu Ze said: "Your Majesty, will you do it tonight?"
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer."
Lu Ze said: "Yes..."
"After arresting Tantaiyi, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no next Tantaiyi. He can achieve success in Beijing, not only by himself, nor only by these two people." Xiao Yu paused and said, "He has a purpose that has not yet been achieved. , will not leave Beijing, as long as the bait is attractive enough, the fish will not be able to escape the hook."
Lu Ze added: "The Taishi Commander is in charge of the astronomical calendar, which is in charge of the summer hunting and hunting, and he must accompany him. If Tantaiyi causes trouble in the palace, what should be done?"
"Then help him do it."
Lu Ze was taken aback, and Qin Xue was taken aback, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"He wants to provoke the relationship between me and Mongolia, so that Qi will take advantage of it to enter." Xiao Yu turned his finger and said softly: "Then I can take advantage of his situation to completely turn war with Mongolia into jade and silk, and fight Qi together in the future."
This is to count.
Su Huaian thought for a moment and said, "The other gardens that can receive envoys are Qishan Garden, Junshan Garden, and Lishan Garden. Where does Your Majesty plan to choose?"
Xiao Yu spread out the map of Da Zhou and arranged his troops in formation.
The candles flickered, Lu Ze looked at the mountains in the picture, and suddenly said seriously: "To make diplomatic relations with Mongolia, the Governor of Yuzhou will also enter the capital together, and the 20,000 cavalry in He Zichen's hands can also..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu almost didn't bite his tongue.
There was silence in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The sudden bird call outside the window seemed to be scolding him for Lu Yanqing's talkativeness.
The governor of Yuzhou was He Zichen, the Erlang of the He family.
But he said why He Zichen deployed the frontier.
Four years ago, shortly after Xiao Yu ascended the throne, he issued an order to Erlang He Jia. The position of the second-rank governor, in the eyes of outsiders, is trusted by the emperor, but in the eyes of several people in the hall, it is not the case.
Qin Piao still doesn't understand why he is holding onto He Zichen so much that she has never seen He Zichen since they got married...
But these things are impossible to ask.
In the end, only Lu Ze knew.
I think that when Erlang He was young, he would send letters back to Beijing almost every few days. There were a total of thirty-six letters written to Miss Qingmei Su. Except for the first letter, the rest were all rejected by Xiao. Yu stopped him, and Su Ling didn't see every word of love that He Zichen called in the letter, but Xiao Yu didn't get it.
To prevent He Zichen from becoming suspicious, Xiao Yu even found someone to imitate Su Ling's handwriting and wrote back to He Zichen.
During the silence, Eunuch Sheng, the flower of Jieyu, came again. He took the medicine and said respectfully, "The servant put the medicine here."
Lu Ze coughed twice, trying to change the subject, "This time, when you are out of Beijing, only civil officials can accompany you if you are above the fifth rank, and Lord Huai is only of the seventh rank. If your Majesty personally promotes it, it will be too conspicuous, or you will come to Jinyiwei as an official?"
Su Huai'an smiled at Lu Ze, "This matter will not worry Commander Lu. Within three days, I will be sent to the Punishment Department."
Lu Ze said in surprise, "Department of Punishment? How did you get in?"
Su Huai'an said meaningfully: "Didn't Xue Xiangyang arrest Su Huai'an all day and look for the account book? I'll help him."
Lu Zejun's handsome facial features were instantly transformed.
have to.
Xue Xiangyang is going to have bad luck.

After returning to Jingren Palace, Xiao Yu looked at Qin Yan, and said solemnly: "I know you feel that you owe the Qin family, and I promise that you will not let the Qin family have any trouble again."
This can be said to be in Qin Xue's heart.
Xiao Yu looked into her eyes, pulled her into his arms, and fell on the couch. He was about to bow his head to kiss her when he heard the door squeak—
Xiao Yu and Qin Yan turned back together, only to see a small short leg carefully sticking out from the crack of the door, and the other foot hadn't landed yet. Why are you here alone?"
Xiao Yun put his hand on the door frame and probed in again, staring at Qin Yan with red eyes, and whispered, "A-Niang, A-Niang."
Qin Jie immediately stood up and said, "Father-in-law, let the eldest prince come in."
Eunuch Sheng was ordered to let him go, and Xiao Yun immediately dodged into the house.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was also here, he sniffed, stood up straight, and composed: "My son, my son, please pay my respects to the emperor."
Qin Jie sat up and waved at him, "Come here, come to A-Niang."
Xiao Yun hurriedly ran over, pounced on Qin Xun's leg, and called out, "Aniang."
Qin Jie hugged him on her lap, patted his back, put her lips against his ear, and said softly, "What's the matter, eh?"
Xiao Yu looked at the intimate mother-in-law, his eyes softened a little, and said to Gong Gong: "Where's Yuan mama?"
A burst of footsteps came in a hurry, Amber knelt on the ground and said: "Yuan mama was ill yesterday, so she didn't wait by the eldest prince's side. Today, it's all the servants who are not good. I also ask your majesty and empress to punish you."
Qin Yun patted Xiao Yun's back and said, "What's going on?"
Amber said: "Today, the slave-maid spoke with the eldest prince about the empress's return to the house to save her relatives. As a result, the eldest prince did not speak or eat for an afternoon, so he had to wait for the empress to come back, just now, the slave-maid thought that the eldest prince had all fallen asleep. Oh, I really didn't expect... the eldest prince would run over alone."
The maids of Jingren Palace are considered effective in their work on weekdays. Qin Xue knew that she had no bad intentions, so she paused and said, "Okay, you go down first."
Amber bowed and stepped back.
Qin Jie lowered her head and pinched her son's ear, "Why don't you sleep?"
Xiao Yun's hand clasped Qin Yan's sleeve and did not let go. After waiting for a long time, he said, "My son thinks that the concubine will never come back..."
Qin Jie rubbed his shoulders and said, "Why won't A-Niang come back when you are here?"
Xiao Yun raised his eyes, looked at Qin Yan and said, "But after the concubine left the palace... she never came back."
Hearing this, Qin Jie reacted.
For a child, it is obviously more frightening to have little knowledge than to know nothing about such things as life and death.
Qin Wei hugged Xiao Yun tightly, patted him, and said softly, "Mother concubine promised you that she would never leave you, eh?"
Xiao Yun's little head tapped on Qin Ye's chest.
The emperor was leaning on the couch, looking at the mother and son, the pity in his eyes suddenly changed a bit.
never leave you.
He had never heard this, even when he was in love.
Qin Yan whispered softly in Xiao Yun's ear: "Is it okay for concubine mother to carry you to the Nuan Pavilion, it's getting late, you should go to bed, eh?"
Xiao Yun raised his head, the sadness and reluctance in his eyes overflowed, and he said sullenly, "The concubine, will you be leaving in a while?"
Qin Jie patted him and said, "Don't go, the concubine will accompany you."
Xiao Yun clenched his fists again.
Xiao Yu's temple couldn't help but jump.
Qin Yan turned to look at Xiao Yu, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, Yun'er may be thinking of a concubine today, so the concubine will carry him back to the Nuan Pavilion first, okay?"
His tone was as gentle as water, but the determination in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
"A Ling, he is the eldest son of the emperor, he is almost four years old now, you shouldn't be so used to him." This sentence twirled around the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth and changed it to, "Go, he is still young, exactly When relying on people, I will go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation tonight, so that you can save yourself the trouble at night."
Qin Wei hugged Xiao Yun and stood up, looking at Xiao Yu with a sincere look, "Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine."
Xiao Yu watched one big and one small disappear from his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also disappeared.
