Feng Yang knew that the emperor had come to Wang Dashi's mansion, thinking of the sudden arrival of the emperor, he guessed that he must have something important to do with Wang Dashi, and because of his own injuries, he stayed in the room and took a nap instead of going out to greet him. .
Not long after, someone called him, saying that the emperor wanted to see him, so he got up, tidied up, and went to the study.
Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping in Su Fengnuan, was a bit depressed when someone woke her up, so she procrastinatedly got up, tidied up in a procrastinated way, woke up for a while, and then procrastinatedly went to the study.
When she arrived, Fengyang had been here for a while, and she had a general understanding of the matter, and her face was a little dignified.
Su Fengnuan greeted the emperor meaningfully, and after receiving a few reprimands from Wang Lu, she sat lazily on a chair.
The emperor looked at her and said, "Little girl, why is she so lethargic at such a young age? She looks sleepy after eating all day long."
Su Fengnuan tapped his head and yawned, "I'm so tired of saving Ye Chang, I can't take it easy."
Hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Saving people is indeed a tiring job." After saying that, he said to her, "How did you go to the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion last year, how did you save the Zijing County Lord, and how did you get this slingshot? I'll talk about it carefully."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and told Ye Xi, the king of Xiangjun last year, that she accompanied her as a guest. The Zijing county lord accidentally fell into the water, and she went into the water to save her. He told her carefully about seeing the slingshot at the bottom of the lake.
After hearing this, the emperor said, "When you took out this slingshot, did it ever get rusty?"
Su Fengnuan thought that the emperor deserved to be the emperor, and when she got the point, she shook her head, "There were some embroidery stains, which were removed by me later. Looking at the rust, it took about a month or two to sink to the bottom of the lake. .”
The emperor asked, "Did you not investigate such an exquisite thing?"
Su Fengnuan said innocently, "Your Majesty, it's just a slingshot. I've collected a lot of odd things. This one is nothing new. What can I investigate?"
The emperor heard the words and said, "You are right." After saying that, he looked at Fengyang, "What does Young Master Feng know?"
Feng Yang shook his head, "I have some friendship with the king of Xiangjun, but not to the point of deep friendship. It's just that he does horse business a few times every year, and they are all high-quality horses. The king of Xiangjun loves horses, and everyone knows that .”
The emperor nodded, "I know this too."
Fengyang said, "After I took over the Fengyang Escort Bureau, there are four or five rounds every year, and two or three rounds at least. All the best horses in the world are collected into the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion. The Xiangjun King has a horse farm, which is dedicated to raising those fine horses. .”
When the emperor heard the words, "Oh?"
Feng Yang said, "I was lucky enough to go to his racecourse once. Although the area is not very spacious, it is full of BMWs and famous horses, which are very precious."
The emperor was silent for a moment, and asked, "Do you think the king of Xiangjun has anything to do with this matter?"
Feng Yang glanced at Su Fengnuan, and said carefully, "It's hard to say about this matter. The king of Xiangjun governs the water and soil in the east, and is deeply loved by the local people. For many years, apart from his love for horses, he seems to have nothing to do with publicity."
The emperor nodded and looked at Su Fengnuan, "Little girl, you have met the King of Xiangjun, tell me."
Su Fengnuan smiled when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, let me evaluate the King of Xiangjun? Or his love for horses? Or the similarity between the slingshot and the ingenious crossbow that assassinated Grandpa Ye?"
The emperor said, "Talk about it."
Su Fengnuan tapped his head and said, "Then I'll talk about it, and don't blame me if there's something you don't like."
The emperor nodded, "Just talk."
Su Fengnuan stood up, walked around the room, regained some energy, and said slowly, "The king of Xiangjun, these years, the world has spread that he is low-key, but in fact, in my opinion, he is not a person. Really low-key guy."
"Huh? How do you say?" the emperor asked.
Su Fengnuan said, "The world knows that he loves daughters, he loves horses, he loves the people in the east, he manages the land and water, and he has a good performance, and the world knows." After she finished speaking, she sneered, "Ordinary people are a little bit attracted by the world." Everyone knows, that’s publicity, he actually has three things that are known to the world, isn’t that considered publicity? I really don’t know where the rumors spread that he is a low-key person and that he acts introverted?”
The emperor nodded, "Continue."
Su Fengnuan said, "Furthermore, he said that he loves his daughter very much. As early as when the Zijing county lord was born, he handed over the booklet to the emperor and asked her to be named the county lord. The county lord has a fief, as far as I know, At that time, the emperor remembered the meritorious service of the king of Xiangjun in governing the eastern border, so he sealed a city for the lord of Zijing County, which seemed to be Yongchang City. Giving it to her daughter was a reward for him. Later, when the king of Xiangjun asked Zhezi to thank Xie Tianen, he declined, saying that the emperor was too kind. No, no, Zijing County Lord is just a newborn girl, he was worried that the Emperor Zijing could not stand it, so he asked to exchange Yongchang City for a piece of land. That piece of fief seems to be a barren hill."
The emperor nodded, "Yes, it is true."
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "At that time, you felt that the barren hills were useless and could not be rewarded. His reason was that he was pioneering. When the Zijing County Lord grows up, it might become a fertile land." After she finished speaking, she laughed, " After so many years, I don’t know if you have asked, how is the development of the barren hills? Is it really cultivated into good fields? Or... used for other things. After all, the barren hills have a lot of land, and it is enough to raise a large number of war horses used."
The emperor's expression changed upon hearing this.
Wang Lu immediately scolded, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Fengnuan stopped talking when she heard the words, and spread her hands to Wang Lu, "Grandpa, the emperor asked me to say it. What I said was not pleasant, and he said he would not blame him."
Wang Lu stared at her, "Even if the emperor asked you to say such words, how can you just say nonsense?"
Su Fengnuan shrugged, "I didn't say it casually, I just expressed my doubts when I thought about it." After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor and smiled, "The emperor is a wise king, so he can naturally tell right from wrong. Right?"
Wang Lu choked.
The emperor's face was a little ugly, and he said warmly to Su Feng, "Go on, what else?"
Su Fengnuan continued, "Young Master Feng said just now that the King of Xiangjun loves horses, and everyone knows it. Every year, the Fengyang Security Bureau escorts a few good BMW horses that he found everywhere and raises them in a horse farm." , she said, "When I was in Xiangcheng, I also went to that racecourse. It is indeed a rare and famous breed. There are male horses and mares. There are hundreds of them."
The emperor nodded.
Su Fengnuan said, "As far as I know, the king of Xiangjun has been searching for good horses for many years, right? So, apart from these good horses, he didn't search for any horses that are neither particularly good nor bad? If there are, then after so many years, there should be a considerable amount."
The emperor's expression changed slightly.
Su Fengnuan continued, "No one cares about the barren hills of Zijing County Lord. It happens to be used to raise horses. It's a good thing, isn't it?"
The emperor's face sank.
Wang Lu became anxious again when he heard the words, "Don't talk nonsense."
Su Fengnuan sighed, "Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, these are all my nonsense, heart-to-heart remarks and random guesses." After she finished speaking, she said, "Back to the topic, if it wasn't for the internal turmoil in the Ye family, what? He has the ability to dare to provoke the Ye family, assassinate Grandpa Ye, and almost killed 80% of the secret guards of the Ye family on the way to Beijing. Grandpa Ye is very lucky, nothing happened, but my brother was injured."
The emperor did not speak.
Su Fengnuan continued, "It is said that at that time, a large number of men in black were ambushing on the way, holding such clever crossbow arrows in their hands. Imagine, if Grandpa Ye died, on the way to Beijing, what would happen to the Ye family? I can't help but feel sad and flustered. The Ye family has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and the Ye family is in chaos. If someone takes the opportunity to do something, then it will be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. Chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is not a good thing."
The emperor still did not speak.
Su Fengnuan continued, "Furthermore, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River may be a trivial matter. If such ingenious crossbow arrows are produced in large quantities and used in the military to deal with our Southern Qi soldiers, it will be a catastrophe."
The emperor's face was as dark as water.
Su Fengnuan felt that what she said was almost over, spread her hands and said, "I'm done."
For a while, the study was extremely quiet. Wang Lu didn't reprimand Su Fengnuan again, Fengyang looked at Su Fengnuan and remained silent.
The emperor was silent for a while, and said, "You have said so much, but you haven't made any suggestions yet, what should I do now?"
Wang Lu hurriedly said, "She is a child, how can she understand this? The emperor must not believe her nonsense."
The emperor said, "She is not a child anymore, let her speak."
Wang Lu shut up.
Su Fengnuan lazily said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is half a month away, and the King of Xiangjun hasn't been to Beijing for many years, right? Why doesn't the Emperor take advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival to invite the King of Xiangjun to Beijing for a small gathering? Of course, he can't just invite himself, The vassal kings from all over the world also come to Beijing to get together."
The emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, but said nothing.
Su Fengnuan said, "Besides, since there are ready-made samples in front of us, why can't we continue to use the military in Southern Qi? In my opinion, the emperor secretly ordered people to rush to manufacture this large and clever crossbow immediately, just in case one."
The emperor frowned.
Su Fengnuan said again, "Furthermore, this matter will naturally be investigated. Xiangcheng, Xiang County King, and Ye's family will also be investigated. Anyone who is involved in this clever crossbow arrow must be investigated and found out. Purpose. Of course, you can’t investigate openly, you have to investigate in private. Otherwise, the ministers think that the emperor is investigating the king of Xiangjun with only a small slingshot, which is really ridiculous and arouses criticism.”
The emperor nodded slowly upon hearing this.
Su Fengnuan said again, "As for the secret manufacture of this clever crossbow, who secretly made it? If you want to find out the origin of this clever crossbow, the emperor is a wise king, so naturally there is always a suitable candidate."
The emperor pursed his lips into a line and said nothing.
Su Fengnuan yawned, "Your Majesty, I'm sleepy, don't you have anything else to ask me? I'm going back to sleep."
The emperor looked at her and said, "No, wait a minute, I want to entrust you with something."
