Go through the side door of the brightly lit lobby of Jingzhao Mansion. @
After a while, Zhao Shou walked into the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion.
Compared to the bright lights in the lobby.
At this time, the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion was in darkness without a trace of light, and it seemed particularly peaceful.
Zhao Shou slowly walked towards the study room without a trace of light.
According to his understanding of Xu Yi, Xu Yi will definitely be waiting for the final result in the study at this time.
"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou stood at the door of the study and whispered respectfully.
"Enter."
Sure enough, Xu Yi's deep voice sounded from the study.
Zhao Shou slowly opened the door and walked in.
At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in the study.
It doesn't take a while.
The study room is filled with warm yellow light.
"Sixth Master, everything went well. All the twenty-six assassins who came have been killed." Zhao Shou looked at the energetic Xu Yi and reported in a low voice.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then asked: "Have you found anything?"
Zhao Shou shook his head helplessly and replied: "Consistent with Mr. Liu's previous guess, there are no features or items on those people that can prove their identities."
"In addition, those people all had poison in their mouths that could kill them quickly."
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, not surprised by this.
If this were not the case, the order to kill without mercy would not have been issued beforehand.
Xu Yi calmed down and spoke slowly: "Go ahead, tonight Jingzhao Mansion was attacked by thieves. All the government officials bravely killed the enemy, killing 23 thieves at the cost of eleven casualties, and captured three thieves alive."
"After interrogation, it was found that those thieves wanted to kill people and silence them, and their target was the disaster relief rat Feng Yuyan."
Saying that, Xu Yi paused.
He continued: "In addition, arrange some smart government officials to spread the truth about tonight's attack to the public."
If nothing else happens, after dawn, it will be time for Xu Yi to clean up.
Regardless of whether the enemy believes it or not, after the news spreads out, it will more or less confuse the enemy's sight and disturb the enemy's state of mind.
This will naturally buy Xu Yi some time to prepare for the final counterattack.
"Obey the order!" A trace of joy flashed across Zhao Shou's face, and then he clasped his fists and shouted in response.
"Go." Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, then turned to look at the engraving on the desk.
There is only more than an hour until dawn.
Until now, Xu Yi had not seen two fireworks flashing in the sky.
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth curved slightly, and then he extinguished the oil lamp on the table again.
The whole person once again leaned on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Time passed slowly and unconsciously.
An hour later.
In the dark study room.
Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and lit the oil lamp.
He stared at the oil lamp quietly for a moment, quickly reviewing today's plans in his mind.
After replaying all the details in his mind, Xu Yi slowly stood up and walked towards the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
In the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Qin Fuping raised his sleeves and yawned heavily.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked up at the engravings placed in the lobby.
Then he sighed heavily and looked at the account books placed on the desk with a sense of helplessness in his eyes.
Qin Fuping picked up the already cold tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.
He sighed again and then placed his fingers on the abacus.
Before Qin Fuping clicked the abacus button again, a person suddenly walked in from outside the lobby.
"Finally here!" Qin Fuping shook his head, which was still a little dazed, and couldn't help but say excitedly.
The number of times Qin Fuping stayed up late had become less and less as his official position became higher and higher.
If he hadn't stayed up late this time and had no choice, Qin Fuping would have walked away long ago.
Qin Fuping stood up and walked quickly towards the man.
"Sixth Prince." As he approached, Qin Fuping took a deep breath and bowed his hands.
".
Lord Qin, please come with me. "Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then walked towards the inner house with Qin Fuping.
Qin Fuping paused when he heard this, and endless hesitation flashed in his eyes.
In the past, when had Xu Yi's attitude towards him been so refreshing?
"Master Qin?" Xu Yi paused and looked at Qin Fuping, who was still where he was.
Qin Fuping calmed down and said hurriedly: "It's coming, it's coming."
Xu Yi smiled without saying much, turned around and walked towards the inner house again.
Qin Fuping slowly followed Xu Yi's footsteps.
For some reason, Qin Fuping always felt a little restless.
When looking at Xu Yi's back, I always felt that the man in front of me seemed to be completely shrouded in night.
It's so unpredictable.
Taking your time is also walking, and being panting and restless is also walking.
It doesn't take a while.
The two walked through the dark corridor.
Stepping into the small courtyard of Jingzhao Mansion.
Qin Fuping had something on his mind, and he slowly followed Xu Yi like a zombie.
Until Xu Yi pushed open the study door and made a creaking sound.
Qin Fuping finally came to his senses.
"Master Qin, please." Xu Yi said politely and then walked into the study.
"Huh~!"
Outside the study, Qin Fuping took deep breaths several times before he completely calmed down and regained the demeanor that a court official should have.
"Sit." Seeing Qin Fuping walking in with his head held high, Xu Yi raised his hand and pointed at the Taishi chair next to the table without haste.
After Qin Fuping took his seat, he looked at Xu Yi quietly and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to start.
Xu Yi reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, slowly pouring the tea into the two teacups.
The sound of rushing water sounded, quietly breaking up the gradually solidifying atmosphere in the study.
"Drink tea." Xu Yi pushed one of the cups of tea towards Qin Fuping as if nothing had happened.
Qin Fuping reached out to take the warm tea, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
Maybe Xu Yi never showed the same hostility as he did in the past few days. After drinking a cup of tea, Qin Fuping had a vague tendency to relax.
Qin Fuping slowly returned the tea cup and tried to speak in the calmest tone: "If the Sixth Prince wants to know anything, just mention it. Qin will definitely know everything and tell you everything."
Perhaps, getting straight to the point is Qin Fuping's best choice at the moment.
Xu Yi smiled and said straight to the point: "In this case, I will be offended."
The words are over.
Xu Yi looked calmly into Qin Fuping's eyes and asked slowly: "May I ask Minister Qin, what role do you play in this disaster relief?"
Xu Yi called Qin Shilang and said you, giving Qin Fuping the respect he deserved.
At the same time, he also expressed his fundamental attitude towards this matter.
Qin Fuping smiled bitterly, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Qin is just a pawn."
"Pawn on the horse?" Xu Yi felt shocked and asked in deep thought, "How do you say this?"
If even a third-grade official is just a pawn, then one can imagine how powerful the mastermind behind the scenes is.
A trace of struggle flashed in Qin Fuping's eyes, and he exhaled heavily, but did not directly answer Xu Yi's question.
Instead, he asked: "How well does the Sixth Prince know about the current situation in the world?"
Xu Yi lowered his eyelids and replied with a sigh: "Why do you need to do this, Minister Qin? I have lived in Zongzheng Temple for eight years." In today's world, no one knows, and no one knows. How can I know that I am in Zongzheng Temple? The general trend of the world. "
Qin Fuping's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard this, and he instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He couldn't help but slap his forehead repeatedly and said apologetically: "I haven't stayed up late for a long time. I'm confused. I hope the Sixth Prince can forgive me."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Yi waved his hand, seemingly not caring, but in fact he was already wary.
Qin Fuping cupped his hands, stopped trying to keep things secret, and said in a low voice: "There are only two of you here, and I hope that the Sixth Prince can keep his words to himself."
Xu Yi nodded and said calmly: ".
Don't worry, I still have this bit of integrity. "
"Huh~!"
Qin Fuping let out a heavy breath, and it no longer mattered what he thought about Xu Yi's words.
At this time, he had already lost all options.
Qin Fuping calmed down, looked Xu Yi in the eyes and whispered, "There are internal and external troubles."
"How do you say this?" Xu Yi asked again.
Qin Fuping glanced left and right, leaned forward, and whispered: "In more than ten years since the decisive battle in Mobei, the Huns have recovered most of their strength."
"Now, the Huns in border areas and other places are already ready to move."
"I'm afraid that in less than three years, the Huns will be on the sidelines again."
Xu Yi asked in a low voice without changing his expression: "Why do you see it?"
Qin Fuping smiled, pointed at himself, and replied in a low voice: "Qin has already interrogated more than 20 Huns in this year."
"You know, in previous years, it was a great achievement to capture two Xiongnu in a year, but this year, we have captured more than twenty Xiongnu. What this means, the Sixth Prince can imagine. "
The Huns hundreds of years ago may have been a group of people who drank blood.
But over the centuries, they and the Han regime have been constantly attacking each other and plundering each other.
In the past two or three hundred years, the Huns have already completed a great transformation, which can also be understood as Sinicization.
If this were not the case, how could the Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasties attack them for two to three hundred years, and they would only defeat and expel them every time.
But they cannot be completely exterminated.
Wisdom, strategy, and tactics, the Xiongnu also had no shortage of these things.
Xu Yi composed himself, skipped this topic, and then asked: "What about the internal worries that Minister Qin said?"
The Xiongnu issue was still too far away for Xu Yi at this time.
Qin Fuping came closer again and whispered: "Your Majesty, common people."
"Huh?" Xu Yi hummed and pretended to be confused: "How do you say this?"
Qin Fuping sighed and whispered: "Taxes, land, palaces and avenues."
After finishing his words, Qin Fuping slowly sat up straight and closed his mouth tightly, his meaning self-evident.
It is extremely difficult to say this.
Xu Yi's eyelids drooped, and he kept thinking about the deep meaning of Qin Fuping's words in his mind.
The first two items are easy to relate to.
In order to conquer the Xiongnu, Emperor Zhengde had already spent all the savings left by his ancestors, but the arrow was still on the string and had to be fired.
The last battle of Mobei alone can almost be said to have been fought with the strength of the whole country.
Of course, the power of the whole country here is just a statement in court.
As for whether the people are really willing, it is completely outside the scope of the court's consideration.
Fortunately, this battle was won by a slim margin.
If it fails, the Zhou Dynasty may face the biggest crisis since its founding.
There are powerful enemies outside, and people are rebelling inside.
Internal and external troubles are not just talk.
The land is easier to understand. During the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, countless wealthy families, large and small, were born.
The birth of a wealthy family is naturally inseparable from the so-called land annexation.
The more disaster years come, the more serious the situation of land annexation will be.
It can be said that disaster years are just disaster years for the common people. For aristocratic families, disaster years mean God-given opportunities.
If God doesn't take it, what will humans do?
As for the Grand Avenue Palace of the Imperial Palace, it is not difficult to guess the actual purpose of this palace just by looking at the word "Da Dao".
Under Xu Yi's drooped eyelids, a cold light suddenly burst out.
The cold light was fleeting, and because Xu Yi's eyelids were drooped, Qin Fuping was not surprised.
In just a moment, Xu Yi connected the four key words Chang Shuirong, Daodaodian, Zhengde Emperor, and the disaster of witchcraft.
It turns out that this is the fundamental reason why Chang Shuirong mentioned the disaster of witchcraft again. _o_m
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi exhaled a heavy breath without hesitation, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your advice."
"The Sixth Prince is too polite." Qin Fuping waved his hand, and then sighed: "This time, the Sixth Prince can understand why.
Qian Qin said that he was a pawn. "
Xu Yi nodded slightly but said nothing.
Qin Fuping seemed to say nothing, but he said everything.
The witchcraft disaster eight years ago was caused by Emperor Zhengde's physical discomfort.
Only eight years have passed, and the bones of the former prince may not have cooled yet.
Only a handful of people knew the core inside story of the witchcraft disaster eight years ago.
Regardless of whether Xu Yong is among the people who know.
At this time, the person who least wanted to make the same mistakes as the previous prince was Xu Yong.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
If Xu Yi is Xu Yong, then Xu Yi definitely doesn't want to sit still and wait for death.
If you don't want to sit still and wait for death, you must truly have your own power.
And how can building power be as simple as just talking?
The establishment of every major force is inseparable from countless money.
Imperial officials may be willing to work for you with just a promise because of your status as the crown prince.
However, ordinary people or ordinary soldiers do not.
For them, whoever becomes emperor is none of their business?
Where does all this money come from? Do you want Xu Yong to touch his upper lip to his lower lip and go to the Ministry of Finance to ask for money?
After much thought, Xu Yong was probably faced with the only path of Guanzhong Severe Drought.
In this way, all the causes and consequences become extremely clear.
Xu Yi composed himself, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Qin, for your guidance."
"Sixth Prince, you're welcome." Qin Fuping stood up quickly and bowed respectfully.
Then he spoke again: "Qin asked the Sixth Prince not to pass on what he said today to others."
Xu Yi nodded heavily and comforted him again: "You can rest assured, Mr. Qin."
Hearing this, Qin Fuping finally breathed a sigh of relief. @
I couldn't help but feel relaxed in my heart.
He secretly made a decision in his heart that no matter what, he must avoid Xu Yi from now on.
He didn't want to get angry in a fight between gods of this level.
After a few pleasantries.
Xu Yi personally sent Qin Fuping to the door.
As for the case of Zhou Qiping and whether Qin Fuping was corrupt, such issues are no longer important.
Pawn, pawn, what is pawn?
It's useless to ask too many questions, so why bother others?
After all, this is the time and the other is the time.
After bidding farewell to Qin Fuping.
When Xu Yi turned around and walked back to the study room in the inner house.
I don't know when the sky quietly bloomed with a bright red light.
Unknowingly, it was already dawn. .
