Chapter 5359 The Emperor’s Decision
A few days later, Zi Yan received the first piece of information from Li Qingyuan.
In the past few days, Li Qingyuan and the Li family have generally done what they did, and Su San also reported it in time.
It can be seen that Li Qingyuan is actually a very smart person, and there is no sign of any signs on the surface. He is still the playboy who lives in dreams all day long. Anyway, the Li family has a big business, and what he spends is for the Li family. It's just a drop in the bucket.
Opening the information sent by Li Qingyuan, Zi Yan read it carefully and discovered the problem.
The Li family and the Ji family are hoarding food, and they are buying it in large quantities from other places in different places. In addition to food, there are also medicinal materials, wood, cloth, etc., and they are even refining steel secretly.
What is all this for? Most people can't collect those clues, so they naturally don't know, but Zi Yan is one of the few who knows the inside story about the big events that are about to happen in the capital recently, so she immediately felt something was wrong.
The Li family and the Ji family are going to cause trouble. They are probably related to a certain prince in the capital!
This matter must be sent to the capital as quickly as possible without delay.
Zi Yan spread out the paper, picked up the pen to write, and quickly wrote a letter with beautiful small characters.
Then, she called Wan Yishan and asked him to send this letter to the capital as quickly as possible.
About half a day later, Yang Ruoqing received this letter. At this time, she was not in Zhongyong Hou Mansion, but in Lingyuan Pavilion.
There have been rumors in the capital recently that the emperor is seriously ill and is about to die. The atmosphere in the entire capital is extremely tense. No one knows whether it is true or not.
But this news is widely circulated among the market, which is already a bad sign.
After Yang Ruoqing received the letter, she immediately set off towards where Qi Xingyun was.
After passing several levels, Yang Ruoqing successfully met Qi Xingyun.
Yang Ruoqing saw a hint of sadness on Qi Xingyun's face.
"Your Majesty, what worries you? Haven't everything been arranged?" Yang Ruoqing asked doubtfully.
"The queen always looks for me in the palace. Hey, they even brought a few little princesses with them." Qi Xingyun sighed. He can do anything else. What can he do with his own harem? manage? Why can't we punish them for their legitimate behavior?
"Do you want to meet me?" Yang Ruoqing was actually helpless. This was Qi Xingyun's family matter, the royal family matter. Even if she could take care of it, she wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing. what.
"No." Qi Xingyun said resolutely, "There is no room for error in this plan, so we can't let them know the truth, otherwise we will be in trouble."
"They can keep it secret themselves, but the palace maids under them The eunuchs may not be able to keep secrets. There are too many people in the palace who can spread the news to the outside world. It is impossible for me to kill them all. Even if they are replaced, it will be useless," Qi Xingyun said.
This is something that can't be helped. There are thousands of people with thousands of faces, and there are thousands of maids and eunuchs working in the palace. How can we deal with them all?
"What should we do?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
"Nothing to do, just do whatever you want with them and drive them away." Qi Xingyun gritted his teeth.
He had no choice but to do this. For the sake of the overall situation, he could drive him away if he could.
"By the way, you came in such a hurry, is there anything urgent?" Qi Xingyun suddenly thought of an important question. Yang Ruoqing said: "It's urgent, or extremely urgent. Please read this secret letter first."
"Okay."
Qi Xingyun took the letter and opened it. Afterwards, I looked at it carefully, and my face gradually became ugly.
"I didn't expect that the Ji family and the Li family in Sixiang City also have evil intentions. Look at the number of troops they have accumulated privately."
Qi Xingyun was very angry. This time the Ji family and the Li family, the royal family treated them It's not bad. They have a lot of properties in the capital. This is what the royal family allows them. Who knows that they have cheated and betrayed the trust of the royal family.
I wonder which prince is colluding with them? Now, Qi Xingyun has several suspects. Judging from the clues, each of them is somewhat abnormal, but he has not finally determined which one it is, so he can only continue to endure it and let the prince Jump out on your own.
If we go to Ouze to alert the enemy and make the prince shrink back, then this hidden danger cannot be truly eradicated.
But now, the addition of the Ji family and the Li family has made the power unbalanced. After careful calculation, the power he can use can no longer guarantee victory.
This made him very worried.
"Qing'er, this time, Luo Fengtang must be brought back. The National Protectorate Army must bring back an elite force, otherwise things in the capital will be very dangerous." Qi Xingyun said seriously.
"Has your Majesty made up his mind?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes and asked.
"Yes, I originally thought that these men and horses were enough, but now it seems that it is still not enough. Therefore, Luo Fengtang must return to Beijing secretly, select elite troops, at least 10,000 men, break them into pieces, and find a way to enter Beijing, hide , come out at the critical moment." Qi Xingyun said
"Yes, Your Majesty, you must issue a secret decree immediately. In addition, the three bachelors cannot be completely unaware, otherwise many things will not be done." Yang Ruoqing. After thinking for a while he said.
"Three bachelors, the most reliable one is Zhang Tingyu. You go to him secretly to see me. In addition, Wan Jin and Liu keep it secret in advance. Don't tell them. They will observe it for a few days before making a decision."
Qi Xingyun single-handedly promoted Mr. Zhang Tingyu came up, his emotions were natural Unusually, he is also his most trusted right-hand man. Wan Jin and Liu Yu are actually ministers of the late emperor. Both of them have extremely strong qualifications and abilities, but they are too smooth. They are like old foxes and are difficult to control. , and it is difficult to determine their true intentions.
"Sir Zhang, his conduct is indeed excellent, and he is also a die-hard loyalist to His Majesty. This time the Capital Protectorate Army mobilizes troops, it is inevitable that he will be used." Yang Ruoqing agreed.
A minister who can become a cabinet bachelor is already a very popular minister. How many such people have no real talent or learning?
Yang Ruoqing has known Zhang Tingyu for a long time. In her eyes, Zhang Tingyu has an upright character. Sometimes he is a bit stubborn and stubborn, but at his core, he is a reformer who has the people of the world at heart. He is brave enough to take risks. of.
In comparison, Wan Jin and Liu Yu were not so determined.
"Your subordinate Zi Yan has done a good job. She is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, but now she can only stay outside the Jiang family. It is indeed wronging her, but this time the errand has been done, I I want to give her a promotion and put her to good use. I will send her a secret reward this time."
Qi Xingyun said.
"Then I will accept Your Majesty's favor in advance on behalf of Zi Yan." Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly.
Qi Xingyun is not only interested in Zi Yan’s ability, but also her Jiang family’s identity.
