After An Changqing returned to the palace, he told Xiao Zhige about the meeting: "Today, I specially brought Yu Xiao to test him, and watching his reaction, I really knew about the merpeople."
"No surprise, look at this." Xiao Zhige handed him a secret report: "The following person just presented it."
After Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, part of the intelligence network in his hands turned to the bright side, but another part was still hidden in the dark. Huai Rushan repeatedly showed interest in An Changqing and the merpeople, which made people have to guard against them. Xiao Zhige used Anbu's personnel to investigate them quietly.
"Huai Rushan secretly sent someone to check on me?"
"Well, I guess I didn't do it too much for fear of being noticed by us. I just searched around to find out about you." It's just that even if he was just inquiring about some irrelevant information, it made Xiao Zhige feel offended and unhappy. . It's just that due to the current diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Huai Rushan's not doing too much, he has not caused it.
"The matter of the business road is only discussed in general, and it can't be settled in a while. Huai Rushan will definitely stay in Da Ye, and it's annoying to be around you like flies all the time." Xiao Zhige Playing with his fingers, he said in a very unpleasant tone: "Why don't we set a trap for him and ask him to jump in, so we take care of it and temporarily detain him for interrogation or forcibly send him back to Yuze, Yuze can't even tell. Oppose it."
There is only one thousand days to be a thief, and no one thousand days to prevent a thief. An Changqing also thinks this is the truth, but how to set a trap is a problem: "Huai Rushan is cautious in doing things, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be fooled."
The thumb rubbed the back of his hand unconsciously, Xiao Zhige pondered for a moment and said: "His people have always wanted to approach the palace to investigate, I asked the guards to secretly put the people in, and when the time comes, the turtle man will be caught in the urn and the stolen goods will be captured, so that he can't deny it. The people's intention to investigate the Yanwang Mansion is wrong, and this alone is enough to convict him and detain him, and then call Yuze to redeem him."
An Changqing looked at him sideways and smiled: "I heard that King Yuze has always been very strict with this younger brother? When King Yuze redeems him, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat... But it is not ruled out that Yuze is the cause of this. ordered by the king."
"It doesn't matter who is the master behind it," Xiao Zhige said in a low voice, "I want him to know that you are the Yan King of Daye, and you are the same as the king. If you dare to stretch out your claws, I will cut one of them."
Xiao Zhige's heart was already full of anger when he dared to stretch his paws at his man. I have it all at the moment, and I am ready to sprinkle it on Huai Rushan.

Xiao Zhige said that he was going to do the game, but he didn't ask An Changqing when to do it and how to do it. If Xiao Zhige made his move, he would not fail, so he went to discuss with Zhou Helan about reforming the farmland system with peace of mind.
Although Zhou Helan is only a rank five Taifu Temple now, no one despised him. One is that everyone knows that he is the prospective sister-in-law of King Yan; the other is that he is someone who has had contact with him, and everyone knows that this person is definitely not in the pool. Stop here. In addition, Taifu Siqing himself is also a person who cherishes talents, and has cultivated him a lot.
Shortly after Zhou Helan took office, the reform of the field system was put on the agenda. An Changqing intends to imitate Yanzhou's move to implement the new field system, but the situation varies from place to place, and it is more difficult to supervise a state than a country. If it is to be fully implemented, it needs continuous improvement and refinement. The minister of the Taifu Temple discussed the matter. When the minister of Taifu Temple was busy, he often kept Zhou Helan by his side to do errands.
The old land system in Daye was inherited from the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, the well-field system was implemented, but at the end of the day, the well-field system was destroyed, and the public fields were gradually abandoned, and many people took private fields as their own. After Taizu established Da Ye, he recuperated, abolished the well-field system, and changed it to oral assignment of fields, allowing the existence of private fields and the sale of land. In the early stage of this method, most of the people could be allocated to the fields, and they could temporarily recuperate by cultivating the fields. However, this method developed after the Anqing Emperor's generation. Because of the corruption of local officials, many landlords and tyrants annexed the land. The fields of ordinary people were annexed by the tyrants, causing many people to lose their fields and become refugees, and could only rely on the tyrants of the landlords.
Before Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, the people in Yongzhou and other places in Qingzhou had a lot of grievances due to the annexation of land by powerful landlords. Although Xiao Zhige went to pacify the chaos later, he killed a group of powerful landlords and returned the land to the common people. However, this move is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. In order to prevent this from happening and allow the people to have land to grow, it is still necessary to reform the land system. It's just that the reform of the land system will inevitably involve household registration and taxation, and will also touch the interests of local powerful landlords. Therefore, the implementation must be cautious.
An Changqing had discussed this with Taifu Siqing many times. Later, Zhou Helan accompanied him and made several insightful suggestions. Taifu Siqing asked him to participate in the formulation of the new field system.
Zhou Helan was one of his own, and An Changqing met him directly in the Ganzheng Palace, and the two finished talking about business. I saw Zhou Helan looking over at him without a word. An Changqing raised an eyebrow: "He Lan has something to say?"
Zhou Helan coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "There is a flower party in the south of the twenty-one city. The steward of the flower party gave me ten invitations, can the lord go?"
"Flower meeting?" An Changqing was about to refuse, but suddenly realized that Zhou Helan would not hesitate in such a matter. Clearly smiled and said, "What? Do you want to invite Xianyu to the flower party?"
"Although we're engaged, it's inevitable that people will gossip if it's just the two of us traveling together."
"Understood, you give me the invitation, and I'll go talk to Xianyu."
Zhou Helan hurriedly took out the invitation card from his sleeve and handed it over, got up and said, "Thank you, my lord."
When his wish was fulfilled, Zhou Helan said goodbye and left. An Changqing stared at the invitation, but suddenly had an idea, and quickly got up to look for Xiao Zhige.
In the side hall of Chongzheng Hall, Xiao Zhige had just finished discussing matters with the courtiers when he saw An Changqing hurried over with ten invitation cards in his hands, his face full of smiles. He put down his pen and raised his eyebrows: "What's so happy about it?"
An Changqing sat down beside him and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to do things for Huai Rushan? Is there any progress?"
"It's been arranged. They tried a few times, but they were more cautious and didn't bite the hook."
An Changqing shook the invitation card in his hand and smiled slyly: "That's right, there is a flower fair in the south of the twenty-one city. If we all go to the flower fair, the guards in the mansion will definitely go with him. It is normal for the defense in the mansion to be lax at that time. If you are willing to enter the palace to investigate, you will never miss this opportunity."
Xiao Zhige thought about it a little and thought it was feasible. But he thought more than An Changqing thought, and said, "You can ask Shang Huai Rushan to go with him."
The two agreed on this. An Changqing sent Huai Rushan a message in advance to invite him to participate in the flower party, while Xiao Zhige completed the current government affairs in advance. On the day of the flower party, he did not bring the imperial guards in the palace. Only the guards were transferred from the Yanwang Mansion, and the group headed to the south of the city.
The Chengnan Flower Fair was held for three consecutive days. The flowers on display on the first day were all precious varieties, and many dignitaries who loved flowers would attend. Therefore, on the first day, the venue of the flower fair is very strictly guarded, and only the invitation card can enter the venue.
Although this set up a bureau for Huai Rushan, the flower fair was very grand and worth seeing, so An Changqing not only invited Huai Rushan, but also Xue Wuyi to go with him.
Yu Shi, An Xianyu, Zhou Helan, Huai Rushan and Xue Wuyi, plus An Changqing and Xiao Zhige, a total of seven people entered the flower party venue.
The flower fair venue was cleared early that day, and the venue was swept clean. The precious flower seeds were placed on the well-arranged booth. Each pot of lace was guarded by its owner. its introduction.
The venue is huge, and the more you go in, the rarer and rarer the flowers are. The seven people have their own preferences for flowers, and not long after entering the venue, they are divided into three groups. Zhou Helan and An Xianyu joined together, Yu and her maids joined another wave, and the remaining four went together.
The other three were all enjoying the flowers with interest, only Huai Ruyu stared at the direction where Yu's left with a dignified face, trembling in his heart.
After a few people strolled around for a while, An Changqing kept paying attention to him from the corner of his light. Seeing that he was always in awe, he called out to him: "Why does King Yu have a face full of thoughts even when viewing flowers?"
Huai Ruyu came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, but Yu's face still lingered in her mind: "No, just seeing these flowers reminds me of the old man."
An Changqing gave an "oh", no longer asked, but said thoughtfully, "There happens to be a tea shed over there, do you want to sit down for a while?"
Huai Ruyu was upset at this time, and his mind was in a mess. Hearing the words, he nodded casually and followed them to the tea shed.
Xue Wuyi and An Changqing walked ahead, glanced at Huai Ruyu, who was so lost, and then looked at An Changqing, who was smiling.
There are a lot of people at the flower meeting, and the tea shed is also big. There are very few dignitaries in Yejing who don't know Xiao Zhige and An Changqing, but seeing that they don't want to reveal their identities, no one dares to harass them. At this time, seeing them sitting down in the tea shed, they didn't dare to come in to disturb them, so they all avoided them. Therefore, there were only four of them left in the large tea shed.
A beautiful maid brought good tea, An Changqing tasted the tea with great interest, but suddenly realized that Huai Rushan was looking straight at him.
He returned with a puzzled look: "What is King Yu looking at me for? But there is something on my face?"
Huai Ruyu looked at him, her throat was a little dry for a while. Previously, he only found that An Changqing was similar to the person in the painting, but today when he met An Changqing's biological mother, Mrs. Yu, he was shocked to realize that although An Changqing's facial features were similar to the person in the painting, his eyes were different from those in the painting. The temperament revealed is very much like the missing saint.
He had seen the manuscripts and portraits left by his grandfather, and the envoy was a gentle and jade-like man. Back then, my grandfather fell in love with the holy envoy, but because of Longyang's habit, he did not dare to reveal it to the world. The holy envoy came from the sea and should only stay in Zaiguo for a month before returning to the sea. However, after the two fell in love, the holy envoy stayed in Zaiguo for more than a year and stayed in the other garden during the period. He didn't know about it until his grandfather married the queen's big wedding day. After that, he quietly left Bieyuan without a trace.
It is recorded in the manuscript of the grandfather that the envoy did not return to the sea after his disappearance. Only once did someone seem to have seen a man who looked similar to him appear in the village where Yuze and Da Ye bordered. It's just that grandfather still fluttered in the air that time. After that, until grandfather died of poisoning, he never saw the holy messenger again.
But from the manuscripts and portraits that survived, Huai Ruyu vaguely saw his remorse, but he didn't know whether it was because he took a wrong step and lost his lover, or because he didn't know the medicine, and he harmed himself and future generations. And regret.
Grandfather left early, Huai Ruyu had never seen him, and did not like to anger the dead, so naturally he had no feelings for him. In addition to reading his manuscripts to find clues over the years, he has not been very interested in the emotional entanglement between him and the envoy. However, when he saw the Yu family today, he just thought of a possibility: the holy messenger is a mermaid family, and it is recorded that men with red stripes in the mermaid tribe can also give birth. In the preserved portrait of the holy messenger, there are scales behind the holy messenger's ear. Red streaks. Moreover, the holy envoy has been with his grandfather for more than a year, and it is normal if he is pregnant during this period. What's more, when my grandfather searched all over Yuze, he couldn't find the holy messenger, but someone had seen someone who looked like holy messenger at the junction of Yuze and Da Ye... It is inferred that the holy messenger hid in Da Ye at the beginning. possible.
Counting the time, Yu's age is just right.
If Mrs. Yu was really the daughter of the envoy and her grandfather, then An Changqing would be the descendant of the envoy. Even if there is no clue from the person in the painting, An Changqing, as a descendant of the holy envoy, may have the opportunity to enter the tomb of the merman. After being in despair for too long, a new way of life suddenly appeared in front of him, and Huai Ruyu was a little timid for a while, because he was afraid that it was just a coincidence.
After staring at An Changqing for a long time, Huai Ruyu managed to sort out his messy thoughts. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a man dressed as a guard approaching Xiao Zhige and An Changqing and saying something, and then Xiao Zhige became cold. Glancing at him coldly, he said, "Something happened in the palace, and King Yan and I want to go back and have a look. The two of you can continue to enjoy the flowers."
Xue Wuyi's eyes turned, and she knew the elegant intentions when she heard Xiange, and cooperated: "It happens that I am a little tired, so I will go back with His Majesty and the prince, and take a rest in the palace."
Since he said that, Huairuyu naturally couldn't stay alone to enjoy the flowers, so he could only go to Yanwangfu together. It's just that he recalled the look in Xiao Zhige's eyes, his brows wrinkled, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.
Come calmly, go hastily. The four quickly rushed back to the Yanwang Mansion. I saw a man dressed as a family member in the courtyard being escorted by two guards and kneeling on the ground. The guard commander saw them coming back, and replied, "This person disguised as a servant and entered the mansion, intending to go to the prince's study to steal. After we searched and interrogated, we found that he did not have a Da Ye accent, and he only had a token on his body with ornaments on it. , looks like it is commonly used by Yuze. Then the subordinates invited people to Honglu Temple to ask the officials who received the Yuze mission to identify them, and found that this person was the guard of King Yu..."
After the guard commander finished speaking, he presented a token in both hands.
Huai Ruyu's brows jumped when he heard Yuze, and when he heard that he was even involved, his eyelids jumped up. He didn't need to look at the faces of the people on the ground. He knew that it must have been sent out by him before. 's subordinates.
How could there be such a coincidence
He sighed secretly, and went to see Xiao Zhige and An Changqing again, but found that the expressions of the two of them did not seem surprising. He immediately understood when he thought about it. , waiting for his people to drill in.
He wanted to sigh more and more, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my lord, I can explain."
Xiao Zhige didn't have the patience to waste his words with him, and said coldly: "King Yu is a distinguished guest, so there is no need to explain it to me. When King Yuze sends someone, the lord will return to Zaiguo to explain to King Yuze. Now we can only The aggrieved King Yu went to the Xing Prison of my Dali Temple first. The king can rest assured that although the prison is simple, it will not make the king suffer. When we find out the evidence and negotiate with King Yuze, we will Let the lord leave."
He even arranged how to deal with it, and he clearly came prepared. The opening is the Dali Temple prison, obviously not afraid of making bad friends with Yuze. Or maybe it is for sure that King Yuze will not have bad relations with Da Ye for a prince who spies news from other countries.
Huai Ruyu smiled bitterly, but unfortunately he is not Huai Rushan. Stopping the attendant who wanted to draw a knife to escort him, Huai Ruyu said solemnly, "I am Huai Ruyu, the king of Yuze. There are many misunderstandings about this matter. Please listen to my explanation."
