He looked at Wen Qingzhu with complicated eyes and asked, "Why did the princess intervene in this matter?"
Wen Qingzhu did not move. He sat on a chair and looked at the door of the Zuocei Hall: "There are some things you won't tell me, but you can't let the situation get worse."
"The emperor has his own reasons." Wan Hongyu already understood that the princess might have known about what he had done for the emperor.
Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "Yes, everyone has difficulties, how do you know that I don't?"
Wan Hongyu opened his mouth and finally said: "The emperor is doing this for your own good."
"I am also doing it for the emperor's good. Otherwise, I might not have been in the capital long ago. You go back and tell the emperor that it's okay if he doesn't want to, but I won't give up on him." Wen Qingzhu felt his stomach and became more determined.
In the Xuanzheng Hall, Jiang Yuanhan was reading the memorial.
After listening to Wan Hongyu's words, he slowly raised his head: "Did she really say that?"
Wan Hongyu bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the princess said, I will not give up on you."
Jiang Yuanhan lowered his eyes at the memorial in front of him and murmured in a low voice: "But I never had a chance to choose..."
Wan Hongyu looked at his expression and was very worried.
After a long silence, Jiang Yuanhan finally spoke again: "Write a letter to Jiang Yuancheng and say that I changed my mind."
Wan Hongyu said worriedly: "But Jiang Yuancheng still found out that the princess intervened."
"It's okay, he doesn't have much ability now. My sister is much better than him. Besides, the Xiongnu blocks his connection with Xianbei, so he can't make a big splash for the time being." Jiang Yuanhan waved his hand and let him go down.
Nearly ten days passed, and the people who built the book hall helped the Ji family to clear out ten carts of books.
Wen Qingzhu didn't talk nonsense. After learning that the Ji family had them, he immediately had them burned.
The people who built the Ce Palace were all literati, and they admired the Ji family's knowledge very much.
It turned out that there were people who didn't believe in the Ji family, but during these ten days of contact, they were quickly convinced.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the person who built the hall asked them some questions respectfully.
The Ji family just doesn't interact with outsiders, it's not that they are rude.
Besides, they were sent by the head of the family this time, so of course they couldn't embarrass the Ji family.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the raging fire in front of him with very calm eyes.
It is better to destroy this subtle method in the future.
After the fire burned out, Wen Qingzhu personally sent Ji's family back.
At Ji's house, Wen Qingzhu gave them a batch of gold.
When the head of the Ji family saw this number, he was immediately shocked: "Princess, this is—"
Wen Qingzhu interrupted him, pointed at the gold in front of him and said, "Have you heard of the Che Kingdom?"
"Isn't that a small country in the former dynasty?" With the level of knowledge of the Ji family, how could he not know it? The head of the Ji family directly said the name.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and said, "This gold is what was left by that small country back then. Just feel free to use it. There are some things that I still need help from your Ji family."
"The princess said so, then I will accept it." The head of the Ji family ordered someone to take the gold down.
When leaving, Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked: "If I have time, can I come to your Ji's house often?"
The head of the Ji family hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Yes, Princess, feel free to come."
After receiving the answer from the head of the Ji family, Wen Qingzhu took out Jiang Yuanhan's book and handed it to him: "The head of the family can take a look at this. It would be best if you could help me find out the origin of it."
For the sake of money, the head of the Ji family readily agreed.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu left, he went back with the book, flipped through it, and immediately closed the page. He was shocked: Isn't this a book only found in forbidden areas
In less than a day, the news that the regent princess burned the palace book had spread throughout the capital.
At the same time, I am still thinking about spreading outside.
When Lu Tao told Wen Qingzhu the news, his expression was very solemn: "There are all kinds of rumors now, and even Linlang's words have spread."
"Where is the person who leaked the news? Have you found him?" Wen Qingzhu was very calm. She had not yet been able to see through Jiang Yuanhan's affairs.
Lu Tao shook his head: "No, but A Ping wants to see you."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Aping?"
A quarter of an hour later, Aping came in and sat down, with a thick gloomy look on his face.
"What are you doing?" Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong at first sight.
Aping took her hand and said: "Princess, you go find Master Pei Yi to help you."
Wen Qingzhu did not agree directly, but asked: "What did you calculate? Didn't I ask you not to calculate for the time being? It's very harmful to the body."
A Ping bit his lower lip, and after a long time he replied: "I just calculated where his son is for the nun in the palace, and the result is that his son is dead, and he died in the capital."
"His son?" Wen Qingzhu was confused.
A Ping explained: "His son was with the Forbidden Army. He was an ordinary person, not an elite soldier. But he died while he was still in the capital. I didn't dare to count on it because I felt something big would happen."
After a long silence, Wen Qingzhu touched her head: "Don't worry, I will try to sit down or something."
Soon Wen Qingzhu sent someone to contact Pei Yi and, of course, Fu Yu.
Within two days, there were more and more rumors in the capital, and several people sent out to investigate were actually assassinated.
The rumors appear to be manipulative.
In the early morning of the next day, news came from Ganzhou that the Rouran people had launched an attack.
This is a battle report.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting in the palace, suddenly thought of Xi'er and immediately asked Lu Tao: "Where is Xi'er? Why haven't I seen her in the past few days?"
"She sometimes goes back to Jin Yuanbao's house." Lu Tao said hesitantly.
Wen Qingzhu immediately asked: "Going to see Jin Yuanbao's fiancée?"
Speaking of Jin Yuanbao, she asked again: "Is there no news from Jin Yuanbao?"
Lu Tao's expression became solemn: "No, it seems that he lost track after Xi'er left."
After concentrating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu decided to go to the palace to see the emperor.
Unexpectedly, they prepared the carriage and saw the people passing by looking in their direction with strange expressions.
Wen Qingzhu got on the carriage and was about to set off when someone stopped them in front.
"Princess, wait a moment."
Opening the curtain, Wen Qingzhu saw the person coming and asked, "Master Fu, it's been a long time no see."
After returning to the palace, Lu Tao served tea and went down.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Fu Shi and said, "What kind of wind brings you here?"
Fu Shiyi said calmly: "The recent rumors in the capital, hasn't the princess found out the mastermind behind it?"
"Not yet, the other party seems to be prepared." Wen Qingzhu didn't mind the rumors.
Fu Shiyi took out a letter and sent it to Wen Qingzhu: "Princess, look at this."
When he opened the letter and looked at it, Wen Qingzhu looked slightly condensed. After reading it, he said to him, "How did you know about this?"
"Master Yang Song has contacted Pei Yu." Fu Shiyi didn't hide anything.
Wen Qingzhu frowned: "Didn't Mr. Yang go to Jiangnan to help Ning Xiu and Princess Dejia? Why are you back in Beijing?"
Fu Shiyi sat down again: "He came back to Beijing to confirm some things."
"What's up?"
"The regent once let Bu Liugu and Princess Xianbei go in Youzhou."
Wen Qingzhu's eyes darkened: "How could anyone know about this?"
Fu Shiyi replied: "Because Bu Liugu exposed Fu Lie's collaboration with Xianbei."
Wen Qingzhu didn't speak this time. When he left Yunzhou, Fu Lie was worried about Bu Liugu.
Now it seems that something really happened.
Fu Shixi told her what Pei Yi said: "One more thing, Pei Yu asked me to remind you that Jiang Yuancheng will definitely not be able to defeat you in person, so he will definitely start from other places, such as trapping."
"The emperor won't believe this kind of thing now. What's the point of Jiang Yuancheng doing this?" Wen Qingzhu asked.
Fu Shiyi sighed: "Princess, water can carry a boat and capsize it. It is true that he can't move you, but what if he instigates the people to rebel?"
Wen Qingzhu was thoughtful: "How can he instigate rebellion against the people?"
"For those books you burned, he found many storytellers, compiled nursery rhymes, preached and spread them, and successfully spawned a group of people who completely trusted Jiang Yuancheng." Fu Shiyi finally got to the point.
Wen Qingzhu asked: "Where is it? Why hasn't the capital received any news?"
Fu Shiyi replied: "Xiangzhou, Jin Yuanbao is really missing."
Within two days, news came from Yunzhou that Mrs. Sulu had collaborated with Xianbei and was a spy for Queen Xianbei. She was arrested in Ganzhou.
After interrogation, it was revealed that the regent had gone to Xianbei.
The Xianbei army gathered on the border of Youzhou, and there was a strong tendency to start a war.
Lei Xiao rushed to the palace overnight and found Wen Qingzhu to ask.
"The regent really went to Xianbei?"
Wen Qingzhu asked: "Master Lei also believes this rumor?"
Seeing her calm expression, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if you don't go."
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu's next sentence was: "Fu Lie is in Xianbei."
"Then can he come back?" Lei Xiao became nervous again.
Wen Qingzhu was unsure: "I don't know, he didn't tell me some things."
Halfway through the conversation, Lu Tao stopped him from outside.
"General, the princess is meeting Mr. Lei."
Ruan Mi pushed Lu Tao aside and barged in. He stared at Lei Xiao warily and said to Wen Qingzhu, "Don't believe anything Lei Xiao says! He belongs to Jiang Yuancheng!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at Lei Xiao next to him and then at Ruan Mi, feeling extremely strange: What's going on? These two people are both the emperor's confidants. Are they alienated
Ruan Mi walked to the other side of Wen Qingzhu and said with a very unkind look: "Master Lei is really good at letting go of the person who rescued Yun Wan!"
"Rescue Yun Wan?" Wen Qingzhu muttered, his eyes wandering between the two of them.
Lei Xiao answered very calmly and said to Wen Qingzhu: "Ruan Mi has a problem. It is better for the princess to be more cautious. The Ruan family army he sent to the Huns has already captured more than a dozen spies."
"Lei Xiao! You actually bite me back!" Ruan Mi was not furious, but he just felt that Lei Xiao was becoming more and more terrifying, and he turned out to be an enemy.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and told Lu Tao: "I'm tired, see the guests off."
Back in his backyard, Wen Qingzhu looked at the letter sent by Fu Lie and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and saw A Ping walking in timidly: "Princess, I did the math and found that my son's death date has been advanced."
"Is it early?" Wen Qingzhu waved her in and asked her to sit down.
After thinking for a long time, she asked Aping: "Can you calculate the situation of the regent?"
Aping shook his head: "No, I need to rest for a while."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and did not embarrass her: "Well, let's continue to deal with the situation of grandma's son. It won't have much impact, right?"
"Not much. His son is a very marginal person and cannot affect the overall situation." Aping nodded repeatedly.
Looking at the old and fragile girl, Wen Qingzhu felt very sorry for her and asked her to go down and have a good rest. At the same time, he sent two more people to take care of her.
