"Preach the decree and show up at Zhaoyi Palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Qixi bowed his head and agreed.
In the Zhaoyi Palace, Concubine Su was socializing with several important wives in the court. Suddenly she heard that the emperor was coming. She was a little surprised and hurriedly brought someone to pick her up.
"How come your majesty has time to come to my concubine now?"
"Mo'er, am I too tolerant of your Su family, so that your brother forgets everything and behaves wantonly?" Emperor Yongxi snorted coldly. He liked Su Mo'er, but he would not tolerate it without any bottom line. If In this way, does he still have authority as an emperor?
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry? My brother has some problems, but he doesn't ignore the laws of the court, act recklessly, and do evil?" Su Mo'er was also a little angry, and was scolded inexplicably. Her arrogance My temper can't stand it.
"This morning, the Nanya Ti cavalry patrolled the Xicheng Branch of the Division. The cause was that the Su family colluded with the Xicheng Branch Secretary Zhou Jixiang to frame an innocent Nanya Captain and imprison him, and also bribed the prison boss to poison his food. , and this captain had previously had a grudge against Shouning Hou because of Qingyi's matter, and just now, my clan uncle came to me with a mountain of ironclad evidence to demand justice!" Yongxi snorted coldly.
"How is this possible? How could my brother do such a thing?" Su Moer was also confused when he heard this.
"This little captain is not a simple person. He is a disciple of Meng Yi, and he is still Qingyi's future husband. My uncle from the clan regards Qingyi as his own daughter. This time there has been such a big fuss. If we don't give them an explanation, How can I face those clan elders from the Royal Family Zongzhengsi?"
Su Mo'er felt a little numb. She realized the seriousness of the matter. Qingyi's incident was over. Why didn't her brother and nephew stop their activities? Could it be that they couldn't swallow their breath?
But even if you want to retaliate, you have to make sure the traces are clean, and this gives people a handle.
"It's not convenient for me to say some things. The court is currently in troubled times. I hope that the government will be stable, and I will make every effort to prepare for the war with Nanchu in the spring of next year. If there is another incident, don't blame me for not showing kindness to relatives." Emperor Yongxi stood up. He said, "Talk to your brother and calm down. Only by being here can you protect him. If you are not here, who else can protect him?"
When Su Mo'er heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Emperor Yongxi's words were very serious.
"I won't be here for the next few days, so you should think about it carefully." After saying that, Emperor Yongxi waved his sleeves and left.
Leave Su Mo'er there, dumbfounded.
…
Nanya, in Ye Liuli's public room.
Luo Xing and Qingyi were both there. Ye Liuli sat at the desk and looked at the two of them, as if he wanted to see flowers on their faces.
"Your Highness, please tell me what you have to say. Don't look at me and Qingyi like that. It's scary." Luo Xing couldn't stand it anymore. He was not a bear in the circus.
"You two smell wrong, something is wrong."
"There's something wrong with our smell, what's the problem?" Luo Xing didn't think anything of it, but Qingyi's cheeks turned red as if someone had seen through it.
"In Ding Xian's case, Dali Temple has reviewed the case files, as well as Ding Xian's evaluation during his tenure in Yangzhou. We have also reviewed relevant information from confidential files, but we have not found any valuable clues. Now, it's up to you. Will that method work?" Ye Liuli seemed unwilling to delve into it and went directly to the topic.
"If he was really a traitor to the enemy and the country, he would have been discovered long ago, unless there was something wrong with Nan Ya's people in Yangzhou, and the reports were all insignificant things." Luo Xing said.
"Yangzhou belongs to the front line bordering the enemy country, so the Jing'an Department and the Intelligence Department in Nanya have branches in Yangzhou. At the same time, the Yangzhou branch is also responsible for liaison and transportation with all Nanya secret agents in Nanchu. "
"Are the Jing'an Department and the Intelligence Department's branches independent?"
"Independence, one is responsible for internal affairs and the other for external affairs. They do not interfere with each other, but each is aware of the other." Qingyi explained that she has been in Nanya for many years and has a better understanding of these.
"What about the two people in the Yangzhou branch after the city of Yangzhou was destroyed?"
"The Intelligence Branch stayed in hiding, some of the Jing'an Branch withdrew, and some of them stayed." Ye Liuli, who had read the file, knew more clearly.
"Is there a report?"
"Yes, but the Nanchu internal guards are quite powerful. During this period, we have lost a lot of manpower, especially in the intelligence branch. We have lost many troops and generals. There is not enough manpower, and the intelligence work has stopped operating. The situation is not optimistic." Ye Liuli said.
"Can I see the information?"
"It stands to reason that these materials require a certain level to be viewed, but as long as you stay with me and don't take them out, it won't be a big problem." Ye Liuli said.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Xing clasped his fists and said, and went directly to the next room to check the information. He wanted to check Ding Xian. Maybe there were clues in the information. Otherwise, what would the destruction of Yangzhou city have to do with him, the deputy envoy of Yangzhou regiment training?
"Qingyi, tell me, do you two have that?"
"Your Highness, how can you ask this kind of question to me?" Qingyi blushed and lowered her head in shame.
"Don't I care about you? If the matter between you two is resolved earlier, you can be together properly." Ye Liuli said.
"Your Highness, I alone have no say in this matter."
"As long as you have this attitude, I will take care of the rest." Ye Liuli said, taking care of everything. "The sooner I see you get married, I will feel relieved."
"Your Highness, you haven't told him about the secret camp yet, have you?" Qingyi also asked with concern.
"No, actually it's good that he doesn't know." Ye Liuli shook his head and said, "Some things have passed, so let him go. What do you think? If you say it, it will only increase your worries."
"He just didn't remember it for a moment. Slowly, he will remember it." Qingyi said.
"He doesn't know my identity, how can he figure it out?"
"Do you want me to remind you, my official?"
"No need!" Ye Liuli thought about it and shook his head.
…
Luo Xing was concentrating on reviewing the case files next door and had no intention of paying attention to the private conversations between the two women. Besides, unless he was spying on information, he had no habit of eavesdropping on other people's privacy.
But for Ji Yu'er, she is different. She is a spirit with nothing to do. Apart from practicing, she can only have some fun.
As long as there is no spiritual master around, she is not afraid of being exposed. What's more, even if she is exposed, given the relationship between Luo Xing and Meng Yi.
As long as the identity is not exposed, it can be covered up.
Therefore, she was surprised to hear all the private conversations between Qingyi and Ye Liuli. Ye Liuli sounded like he had a very unusual relationship with Luo Xing. They should have known each other before, but they may not have seen each other for many years. All grown up.
Her appearance has also changed, and now she no longer recognizes him. He also mentioned the "secret camp", so she naturally knows that place.
Nanya is a place that specializes in training secret spies. Luo Xing was born there, and Ye Liuli is a princess, so why did she also stay in the secret camp?
This is probably a great secret.
Should she tell Luo Xing? Ji Yuer weighed it carefully and decided to hide it. She also wanted to see how Luo Xing would know the truth in the future. If she told him now, wouldn't there be no surprises?
Nanya has a lot of files related to Yangzhou. According to Nanya's regulations, border news and non-emergency reports are reported every three days, mainly carrier pigeons. In emergencies, Eagle Letter and Fast Horse will be used together. For important matters, Eagle Letter and Fast Horse will be used. use.
This is very costly in manpower and material resources, and the rewards are often not proportional to the effort. Of course, this is necessary. The court must understand the local information dynamics. Otherwise, how can it grasp the situation of the entire country?
The Military Intelligence Department mainly reports on the military situation in Southern Chu and forwards intelligence sent back by secret spies in Southern Chu, while the Jing'an Department mainly focuses on the local official voice and public sentiment in Yangzhou, and its biggest responsibility is to secretly supervise local officials.
Although the imperial court has a censorship station and local inspection envoys supervise officials, the Jing'an Department is the largest supervisory agency.
The Jing'an Division holds the most secrets, and it is also the core department of Nanya. Controlling the Jing'an Division is equivalent to capturing the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Su family's plan to seize Nanya was because Nanya had mastered the privacy and secrets of many officials in the Zhou Dynasty.
Luo Xing read it selectively. If he read it word for word, then this thick file with millions of words would be impossible to finish in a few days and nights.
He only needs to look for records related to Ding Xian.
Ding Xian served as the deputy envoy for regiment training in Yangzhou. To put it bluntly, he was the deputy to the military director of the local military reserve force in Yangzhou.
Because Yangzhou is located on the front line across the river from Nanchu, it is also the location of the naval office of the Zhou Dynasty, and an elite Jiangdu army is stationed there.
The Navy has a Metropolitan Governor's Office, which oversees all important military and political affairs in Yangzhou. The governor of Yangzhou is nominally the chief executive, but in fact, all government orders come from the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was defeated. The remnants of the navy were defeated and fled from the sea. They were currently stationed in Penglai, Haizhou. The navy of 50,000 people had only 8,000 men and less than one-tenth of the ships. The governor of Qujiang, Hou Linlang, died in the battle. Two admirals were also killed and injured.
Jiangdu's 80,000-strong army was under siege by the 300,000-strong Southern Chu army. The remaining troops broke out and retreated to Ningzhou. Their commander, General Yang Ning, was captured by Wu'an Marquis Pei Hao as soon as he arrived in Ningzhou. In the big prison, he was first imprisoned in the prison of Ningzhou Governor's Mansion.
Then the local armed forces in Yangzhou were basically either annihilated or surrendered to Nanchu. Yangzhou regiment commander Zui Yong was brave. He led three thousand regiments under his command to fight Nanchu in a bloody battle at Jiangdu Gate. In the end, he died in the battle. And our deputy envoy Ding Xian , the cultivation level of a second-grade martial arts master, no one knew where he was during the battle, and no one even found his whereabouts even when they went to Yangzhou City.
After investigation and understanding, Nanya's spies lurking in Yangzhou speculated that he might have secretly left the military camp when Nanchu was besieging the city, and then took advantage of the chaos in the city to escape when the city was broken.
Ding Xian is a second-level martial arts master. If he wants to run away, unless he is intercepted by a master of first-level grand master or above, there is really no way to stop him.
There must be a secret about this guy, but if the Puppet Shadow Hall's "You Mei" kills him, the dead person can't speak.
Willow House?
Luo Xing's heart moved!
