A group of people from the northern border entered the palace two days later, and the emperor hosted a banquet to entertain guests from all over the world. On such an occasion, the long princess was naturally invited to attend.

There were lanterns and festoons in the palace, Rong JIan heard people in the study talking about the northern border, Yan Ranren, Nanyu, etc., and suddenly remembered some fragments from the book.

The timeline of the main text of "The Evil Seed" is more than a year later, and all the previous events are old news from the mouth of the supporting characters, most of which are a few paragraphs as background supplementary descriptions.

This incident started when people who knew the past of the Forbidden Court talked about how the long princess was almost kidnapped by the northern border people during a banquet in the twelfth lunar month. In the following year, she never showed her face in public again.

The long princess is so unlucky and has a long life, which is amazing.

But another person answered that the assassination of the long princess was just a way to make a fool of himself, but in fact it was to cause a commotion, and the god survivors in the Southern Fool were going to take the opportunity to get close to the emperor and kill Fei Jinyi with a curse.

The Fool of Nan did not succeed, but it revealed the fact that there were traitors in Jinyiwei.Fei Jinyi almost died in the hands of the survivors of the gods. He was furious and cleaned up Jinyiwei. Except for the trusted commander, the rest of Jinyiwei Tongzhi and down to the officials were all executed without a warrant.Ling promoted a group of newcomers to come up, and then checked whether the people under him were spies.

The person who answered was Jin Yiwei, who survived the purge by chance. He escaped from Capital, and later defected to Mingye, and told about the unbearable past.

Rong JIan thought about it again and again, and still felt that this incident should have happened this year.

Morning greetings in the northern border are very rare, and there have been few times since ancient times.And if it was after assisting Nan Yuren to assassinate the emperor and failed, with Fei Jinyi's temperament, he would not allow them to enter Beijing again in this lifetime.And if it happened next year, the people at the beginning would not have mentioned that the long princess would no longer show up for the next year.

In this assassination, Fei Jinyi was not in his hands, and the long princess was only a little frightened, only Jin Yiwei's blood stained Zhen Fusi.

Rong Jian thought about it silently.

Originally, he was dubious about the human leather mask that Aunt Zhou was talking about, but after experiencing many unscientific things, he believed most of it.There really is such a thing in the world, Rong Jian felt that his escape became possible.For example, using reasonable means to disappear, the long princess was seriously ill, and died of illness naturally, without involving the people around her.Otherwise, if the long princess fled, all the maids and eunuchs serving in Changle Hall would not be able to escape interrogation.

But Rong Jian can only think about it this way, all kinds of things need to be carefully planned and planned, the current Rong Jian can't know the situation outside the palace, such a plan is like a dream, it is difficult to realize.

The easiest to cooperate and help is Jin Yiwei who can walk inside and outside.

And using Nanyu's technique of winning this time as a bargaining chip in exchange for Jin Yiwei's help, the other party should be a good deal.

Rong Jian thought for a moment, then said to the people beside him: "Speak for the chapter of the branch of the palace, and say that there is something important to discuss."

Compared to when he just traveled here, Rong Jian is much more free in the palace.If it is now, there is absolutely no need for him to use many radical means to accomplish the things that seemed difficult at the beginning.

At the moment of Haishi, the Immortal Garden has not rested yet, and the lights are brightly lit.

Last time Ming Ye listened to half of the accounts as the second shopkeeper, and this time he listened to it again as the shopkeeper. On the desk case were still the books that Da Yin sent around in recent days.

When the night is over, it is not difficult to leave the palace.

The shopkeepers were all sitting outside Chun Zai Zhai, separated by heavy curtains, and Ming Ye wore a human-skin mask and sat among them. He was always very cautious in doing things and would not make any mistakes.

Outsiders could see his figure swaying slightly on the tent.

Zhou Zhaoqing was on the sidelines.

Akeno listened to their accounts, and at the same time looked at the piles and piles that happened in High Capital in recent days.

Damnya from the Department of Science and Technology led the team to come to Da Yin to congratulate on behalf of the northern border.

Akeno's gaze stayed on this page.

In the past ten years in his previous life, Ming Ye had fought many tough battles.He has a talent for fighting and a talent for judging people, and he is also very clear about the subtleties of people's hearts. Whether he goes into battle himself or entrusts him to the generals, he has never tasted a few defeats.

Mingye rebelled from the abandoned capital. At that time, Da Yin was on the verge of collapse, but he fought for ten years.

There's absolutely no need to take that long.Mingye fought for so long, because he and Da Yin used the Nutao River as the boundary halfway, and turned around to expel the northern border.

The hardest battle was fought against Khan Durlun in the northern border.Du Erlun is nearly sixty years old. He has lived on horseback all his life and has never stopped fighting. He is the most experienced general.His luck lies in having so many capable sons, and his misfortune is that his tribe almost fell apart because of his sons.

Ming Ye seized the opportunity and killed Du Erlun's three sons. There was an endless blood feud between them, and finally cut off Du Erlun's head.

In the end, the Ke Zhengchan tribe was driven out of Chongwei Pass in the north and returned to the depths of the grassland decades ago. At least when Ming Ye was alive, the northern border people no longer dared to plunder the border people.

The sound outside gradually stopped, and the dark guard saw Ming Ye waved his hand, and told the shopkeepers to rest in the hall outside.

After reading the letter in hand, Akeno raised his jaw, casually tore off the mask on his face, and threw it on the table.

Zhou Zhaoqing's eyes glowed when he looked at the mask, how could he not want something worth a thousand dollars.

Ming Ye wrote something with a pen, stamped the shopkeeper's seal, and said to Zhou Zhaoqing: "The business with the northern border cannot be done in the future."

Before that, the business of the Wanlai Chamber of Commerce spread all over the place, the business of the northern border people had to be done, and the money of the Southern Fools had to be made.But doing business with the Fools of the South is nothing. They were originally barbarian survivors, and the survivors of the gods hated the current world. At most, they cursed and killed the emperor, so they couldn't cause any trouble.And doing business with the northern border people is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, which makes the army of the Ministry of Science and Technology more powerful.In his previous life, Mingye used more bloody methods to kill the shopkeeper, and the movement was even bigger. He spent a lot of effort to clean up the Wanlai Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the transaction with the northern border people on the books had reached a shocking level.

That's why he was so anxious to check the accounts this time.

After hearing his words, Zhou Zhaoqing seemed to feel a little heartache: "Such a good horse..."

Akeno didn't even lift his eyelids, and ignored him.

Zhou Zhaoqing didn't dare to say any more, so he automatically stopped talking.

Mingye pushed open the window and turned his head to look outside.

There is a thin layer of frost on the grass and trees. This year's snow came very late, but it should have fallen.

Rong Jian and Zhang Sanchuan made an appointment to meet in Meiyuan.

There was a riding and archery class in the afternoon, Rong JIan didn't have to go, and he had to find an excuse not to go.But at the end of the year, the guards are also very busy, and Mingye can't come because of something.

Rong Jian was relaxed and went to the plum garden alone.

Zhang Sanchuan also went alone. He walked through the path to the pavilion deep in the plum garden. Among the shadows of flowers and dead branches, there was a figure of a person.

The long princess was sitting leaning against the railing, wearing a crimson cloak, as his footsteps got closer, the long princess didn't look back, as if she was looking at the nearby plum blossoms.

After saluting, the long princess finally opened her mouth and said, "What does Zhang Tongzhi think of this foreigner's congratulations?"

Zhang Sanchuan frowned when he heard this. This is a matter related to the government, and the long princess shouldn't care about it, but this can't change the current situation. After all, the situation is like the northern border, and it is impossible to push the long princess to the top.And if the long princess is asking the local officials who met with the Capital debriefing this time, you should be vigilant.

Therefore, Zhang Sanchuan said: "Foreigners congratulating each other is something that has happened throughout the ages. However, the folk customs of those barbarians have not been civilized, and the ministers must strengthen their guards to prevent them from colliding with His Highness and the masters."

The long princess turned her head, and the not-so-warm sunlight fell on his face. He smiled softly: "Oh? Then what do you think of Nan Yu?"

Don't ask about the northern border, but about Nanyu.

During this court celebration, the ministers of military and military affairs of the court all stared at the northern border, for fear that they would cause trouble in the palace or have some conspiracy.

Zhang Sanchuan didn't even understand the meaning of the long princess calling him this time. He pondered for a while secretly: "The Southern Fools are a barbarian clan from the Jinghun Mountain lineage.He cursed and killed the emperor's heir while walking in the palace, and committed a felony that implicated the nine clans. But the Southern Fool sheltered the survivors of the gods and assisted them in fleeing. In addition, they were in the mountains, and outsidersIt is difficult to get close, so the local prefects are only allowed to be vigilant, and the innocent people are not allowed to collude with them.Crime. The Southern Fool is grateful to his heart, so he pays tribute every year to see him, and he is quite obedient."

After hearing this, the long princess lowered her eyebrows and said casually: "Quite obedient? If I say that Nan Yuren is planning to kill His Majesty with the spell of disgusting victory this time, what do you think?"

What he said was casual and relaxed, no different from any of the previous sentences, but it was like thunder, it exploded in Zhang Sanchuan's ear, making him tremble.

Zhang Sanchuan's first reaction was that it was impossible, his second reaction was how did the long princess know about it, and finally why he told himself.

But such a small matter will not cause chaos in his phalanx, Zhang Sanchuan said: "If such a thing really happens, the ministers will definitely do their best to capture the traitor and protect the safety of the Lord."

The long princess sighed softly, it seemed that it was because the person in front of her was ignorant, or maybe he was not smart, so she raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Sanchuan: "Don't you understand? I will tell you this matter,Naturally, it has something to do with Jin Yiwei."

He said slowly: "There is a spy of the Southern Fool in Jinyiwei, who is waiting for the inside to cooperate with the outside."

Zhang Sanchuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and reluctantly said: "Your Highness is joking. We Jinyiwei are all loyal and good men, willing to die for Da Yin and His Majesty, how could we do such a rebellious thing."

But in fact, he already had some belief in his heart that he had not been with the long princess for a long time, and he also knew that the long princess was not the kind of eloquent person.What's more, there is no need for the long princess to scare herself with such things.

no need.

The long princess was not annoyed by this, and continued: "Do you believe it or not? That's right, Jin Yiwei has eyes and ears all over the world, but I got the news from other places."

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's eyes and ears, and his insiders are all over the world. In terms of being well-informed, he is top-notch.But among the courtiers from all over the world, most of them were literati, and when they were officials, they intercepted some unusual people or things. Knowing that the matter was serious, they reported it to their teachers and classmates first, and it was not impossible to discuss countermeasures.

As for Chaotang Qingliu, most of them prefer the long princess.

Zhang Sanchuan finally believed it, and had no choice but to believe it.He was able to be the same as Jin Yiwei, so he naturally knew the emperor's disposition. On the surface, he looked gentle and tolerant, but on the inside he was ruthless and ruthless.If Nan Yuren's methods are exposed, Fei Jinyi will be terrified and angry when he learns that there are traitors in Jinyiwei.They were deeply trusted, and once this trust disappeared, what terrible consequences would be, he couldn't believe it.

He knelt down on one knee and said earnestly: "Zhang is stupid, I beg Your Highness to give me some guidance."

Rong Jian felt relieved, he knew it was over.

As for the literati Qingliu, of course he made it up.But Zhang Sanchuan would believe it, because he had no contact with the other party, and he didn't know what information the other party had in private.

In the imperial court, position is more important than anything else.

A person who does not stand upright and has both sides will be rejected by both sides.

For example, Jinshi in the imperial examination high school has its own school.And Jin Yiwei is a hereditary military post, the emperor's eagle dog, and the executioner who ambushes the courtiers.

The positions of the two parties are completely different, and there is no possibility of reconciliation and cooperation.

There may be some people who communicate with each other in private, but the two circles are closed to each other, and they can't get any benefits. It can only be some gold and silver floating wealth, and it can't last long, because there is no real exchange of benefits, and it won't last long.

People who either share common interests or have the same aspirations, and who have neither, cannot walk in the same direction.

Rong Jian took advantage of this information gap. After all, his identity is special, so it is easy to bluff people.

He thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Nowadays when Nanyu came to Beijing, he only revealed some details. Now that he is investigating extensively, it will instead arouse their vigilance and startle them."

But for Zhang Sanchuan, Nan Yuren's technique of hating victory is only the second, and the most important thing is that there should be no mistakes within Jin Yiwei. He hurriedly asked: "Then, can your highness inform this minister about the spies?"

Rong Jian glanced at him, probably with a sense of reproach: "The fellow is too anxious. The means of communication between the spies is so secret, how can you tell some news that can be known by outsiders at a glance?"

It wasn't that Rong Jian deliberately hung people up, but he really knew the general story. As for who the spy was, not to mention the supporting characters in the book didn't mention it at all, even if it was mentioned, Rong Jian probably wouldn't remember it.

Still have to take one step at a time.

Rong Jian said again: "But I also have some clues, I won't let Tongzhi fall into such a situation."

Zhang Sanchuan was stunned for a while, he still remembered the first time he met the long princess seriously, what was he thinking then?

But now life and death are in the hands of this seemingly delicate and innocent long princess in front of her.

Now that the long princess said that he has an idea, Zhang Sanchuan will not continue to ask, it will only be in vain, after all, his wealth and life may be on top of him, he still said: "Your Highness is kind, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. In the future, His Highness will ask for something, and I will definitely help you."He will go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants."

A few months ago, Rong JIan entrusted Xie Du with a small matter, and the other party dared to shirk it, but now, even Zhang Tongzhi has to obey his orders.

Rong Jian stood up, a branch of red plum lay across his cheek, when he blinked slowly, the eyelashes almost fell on the petals, so beautiful that it was almost illusory.

He calmly said, "It's just a little thing."

I don't know if what I'm talking about is a trivial matter, or if it's just a trivial matter to ask Jin Yiwei to do.

But no matter which one, since Zhang Sanchuan has received such a life-saving favor, there is no reason not to do it.

After walking out of the plum garden, Rong JIan visibly became lively,

Although Zhang Sanchuan believes that it is only the first step of the whole thing, and it is insignificant in his escape plan, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and Rong JIan is still in a good mood to make this step.

After returning to Changle Palace, it was still early, Rong Jian glanced at the sky, and called someone in: "Si Fu, go out with me."

Si Fu asked: "Are you looking for Ming guards?"

Rong Jian: "...how do you know?"

Si Fu said: "The servant can tell at a glance."

Rong Jian became angry from embarrassment: "Then don't read it."

In short, one yard counts for one yard, and Rong JIan still went, mainly to send the bell there, in case of emergency.

When they arrived at the small courtyard, before Rong JIan knocked on the door, Ming Ye said, "Come in."

Akeno could hear his footsteps.

Rong JIan pushed the door open and entered, Mingye seemed to have just returned from work, the official robe was off and put aside, he was wearing a loose cloak.

Ming Ye stood up and walked to Rong Jian: "In such a cold day, is Your Highness here to ask me to study?"

Rong Jian said vaguely: "I don't study. I have something to ask you."

"Something", this matter is naturally the pair of twin bells.

Worried about accidentally being knocked on the road, Rong Jian put the twin bells in the same kit, and now he took it out, and handed one of them to Ming Ye, a little proudly introducing the novelty of this treasure to the person in front of him.

He said: "Last time you pinched... In short, with this twin bell, next time I enter the house, won't you be able to tell the difference immediately?"

I also felt that I was very smart, and waited for this person to praise me, so I looked up at the other person.

Ming Ye smiled, and placed the twin bells in his palm. He did not refuse such a precious thing, but said: "Your Highness is very powerful, and he can think of such a way. Otherwise, leaving marks on His Highness's body seems to be revenge for kindness."

He is wearing dark blue clothes today, making his face colder, lonely and difficult to approach.

But when facing Rong Jian, that cold look disappeared, and no matter what he said, it seemed to have some seductive meaning.

Deliberately bully him to make him say things he will regret.

This seems to be a rare thing that Akino finds interesting.

Ming Ye looked at Rong Jian, and said slowly: "I've seen this thing in a book, it seems to be a wedding gift from the elders when the children of Nan Yu's nobles got married, did His Highness give it to the minister like this?"

Rong Jian let out a bewildered "ah", his first reaction was, how could Ming Ye know this, how extensive his knowledge is, and then he remembered that his focus was wrong again.

He finally remembered what Huaxi said later.

...the secret boudoir pleasures of husband and wife.

This is all and nothing, it will ring when it is approached, it will be silent when it is touched, and there will be no movement no matter how shaken it is, it does not sound like the virtues that a good and innocent bell would have.

Rong Jian felt his face was hot, he turned his head uncomfortably, stumbled and said: "I am... I am Ben Gong, I really want to help, don't think about it."

Ming Ye raised his hand and shook the bell slightly, and the one in Rong JIan's hand also rang. In such a quiet room, the sound of the bell drowned out the sound of each other's breathing.

The slight vibration made Rong Jian feel hot and wanted to throw it away.

Akeno kindly supported the bell for him, preventing it from falling down.

Rong Jian withdrew his hand, curled his fingertips, and held the bell in his palm, he didn't want it to make any more sound.

Ming Ye lowered his eyes, he seemed to be a little puzzled, he really didn't understand the meaning of Rong Jian's words, so he just looked at each other, and said nonchalantly: "I understand that His Highness is kind. Then, what is Your Highness thinking?"

"Can you tell the minister?"

Rong JIan: "..."

He wants to jump off a building.

Right now.

The author has something to say:
