Liu Jinyu was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window with a soft face and a letter in her hand.
This is a letter sent home urgently by Li Xuan over six hundred miles.
The palace acquiesced.
Liu Jinyu glanced at Qu Dou'er, who was completely mingling with Si Niang and Wu Niang, and shook her head in amusement.
This is just a girl who doesn't understand anything.
She had no idea that before she entered the mansion, the mansion had already checked all of her background.
Even this kind of investigation is still continuing until she officially starts.
The person in charge of all this now is Liu Jinyu. She and Li Xuan are very different in the way they do things and pay more attention to details.
The palace has sent people to inquire carefully about the former servants and maids of the Qu family, relatives and friends... everyone who has come into contact with Qu Dou'er.
The palace will conduct more investigations on the books that Qu Dou'er buys, the rouge and gouache he uses, and the cloth and clothes he wears.
Now even though Qu Dou'er is already in the house, people are staring at her all the time.
Every move she made was watched secretly.
Liu Jinyu was three months pregnant. How could she easily allow someone who was a threat to her fetus to be in the house?
Not to mention that Li Xuan had already written to her, asking her to send Qu Dou'er back to Tianshan Palace one month before the birth.
During this period, Liu Jinyu would investigate the seemingly simple Kodou'er once again whenever she showed any signs of being monitored.
But fortunately, this is indeed a stupid girl.
The things she brought in from outside the house had been secretly checked over and over again to make sure there would be no accidents before they were released.
The reason why Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu were so worried was that Qu Douer was suddenly granted a marriage by Empress Wu.
What he fears most is that Kodou'er is involved with something like the Secret Guard.
But fortunately, there really isn't.
Zhao Gong also conducted a detailed investigation.
Therefore, unless she is a member of the inner guard, it is impossible for her to pose a threat to the mansion.
Liu Jinyu didn't think Li Xuan's worries were unnecessary, because the timing was so coincidental.
Ming Chongyan was dismissed from all secret guard duties because of the secret guard incident, but when he started to attack the prince again, Empress Wu forced another person into the palace.
This is too arousing the sensitive nerves of Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu.
Fortunately, everything now shows that there is nothing wrong with Kodou'er.
But these are just the beginning.
Once Qu Dou'er officially enters the palace, many of her family's dowry girls will come with her.
There are more places where people have manipulated things, and that's when the trouble begins.
But fortunately, Li Xuan came back at that time.
Everything can be left to him.
The couple can completely trust each other's abilities.
…
Shaking her head, Liu Jinyu put the matter of Qu Dou'er behind and began to look at the letter in her hand.
Li Xuan didn't mention many details in the letter, including drinking from Mawuhai, moving to Dahuashi Gorge, heading to Maqin, Guizhou, going east up the Yellow River, hoping to connect with Shu, etc.
These are not much, so the only thing she is asked to do is to urge Yue Weng to have Shuzhong prepare the transshipment grain and grass as soon as possible, transport them to Songzhou as soon as possible, and then move to Changzhou.
Putting down the letter and raising the pen, Liu Jinyu was about to write a letter to her Aweng, and all the contents of Li Xuan's letter flashed through her mind.
From this, Liu Jinyu could feel that Li Xuan had a special kind of confidence. Although he was urging in his words, everything was being arranged in an orderly manner.
It seems that if he really follows his arrangements, Tubo will be completely defeated.
Is the military intelligence planning further improved?
Or is there any weakness in Qin Ling that he grasped?
Liu Jinyu shook his head and began to write a letter with his head lowered, but it was not written to his own Aye, but to some local county magistrates, state Yahu Cao and others in Yizhou.
The emperor and the ministers will never relax on the central government's policy of transporting grain and grass, but the ones who will really relax are the local magistrates, Hucao and others.
But it happened that many of these people were Liu Rengui's old subordinates.
Many capable people were contacted by Liu Jinyu.
Liu Rengui has been the prime minister for many years. Although he does not have many disciples and former officials all over the world, he has many disciples and old officials. Moreover, he has a sharp eye and selects capable people.
With the power of the world, a county magistrate is already a very useful chess piece.
Liu Jinyu paid great attention to the difficulties encountered by these county magistrates, and then offered help at critical moments.
At the same time, she will also keep an eye on the handles of these county magistrates to prevent these people from becoming tools to harm Aye.
Liu Jinyu often did these things before marrying into the Nanchang Palace, but after joining the Palace, she completely let go.
She knew that the things she had done could not be hidden from Empress Wu's eyes, so giving up temporarily was the best option.
Now, she wants to pick it up again.
If you really do nothing, it is indeed safe, but it can easily be underestimated by others. This time, what happened to Kodou'er is a test by others.
So we must do it, but we must do it in accordance with the law, so that no one can find any reason to grasp it.
As for ambition, no one in this world has ambition.
If you really judge people based on their hearts, everyone in the world will die.
But it must be secretive.
No questions asked, but secretive.
If someone investigates, the person who is secretly malicious will be exposed.
Liu Jinyu wrote three letters to two county magistrates in Yizhou and a household officer who joined the army. He hoped that they could help collect this year's taxes and grains and send them to the front line of Songzhou as soon as possible.
It was handed over to Li Chongjing, the son of Li Xiaoyi, the commander-in-chief of the march in Jiannan Road and the governor of Yizhou, who joined the army.
Li Chongjing will arrange everything after that.
Putting away the letter, Liu Jinyu looked up. Qu Dou'er and Wu Niang Qiongyu were already leaning aside, drowsy in the warm sunshine.
Only Liu Shubi was still looking down at Xianniang, her eyes straight and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Liu Jinyu shook her head in amusement, stood up, walked around a few people, and whispered to the maid to find Li Bi.
However, after a while, the maid replied, but Li Bi was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Jinyu was sitting in the hall with a surprised look on her face. She stood up, waved her hands, and walked out, saying, "Go to the study."
"yes!"
…
In front of the study door, Liu Jinyu turned sideways and said, "Guard the outside, no one is allowed to spy or eavesdrop."
"Here!" The maids immediately dispersed in all directions.
Liu Jinyu then pushed the door open alone, but at a glance, she saw Li Bi who was clearing the desk just now.
When Li Bi heard the noise, he quickly turned around without blocking anything behind him, and held his hands calmly: "Princess."
Liu Jinyu didn't seem to notice Li Bi's little move. She didn't look at the documents on the desk and directly handed out the three letters in her sleeves: "Send these three letters out secretly, and then see what's there." check!"
"Here!" Li Bi quickly handed over his hand and took the letter.
Liu Jinyu turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, she stopped and, carrying Li Bi on her back, asked, "What happened to make you lose your mind? I've been looking for you for a while."
Li Bi's face was stunned, and he became solemn for a moment, but he still held up his hand and said: "Princess, this is some secret news in the palace. My subordinates want to forward the letter to the prince in secret."
"What's the news?" Liu Jinyu turned around and looked at Li Bi with a pressure in her eyes.
Li Bi's expression suddenly became solemn, and he bowed and said: "Princess, are you sure you want to know? The prince once left a message. If the princess is sure she wants to know, let her subordinates tell the princess."
"Tell me." Liu Jinyu nodded, then walked to the desk and sat down.
Li Bi took a deep breath and walked directly to the bookshelf beside him, regardless of the pile of documents on the desk beside him.
I don't know which button was turned, and a thin wooden board popped out. There were only six thin pieces of paper inside, and there were only some numbers on the paper.
Li Bi took out all the notes and placed them in front of Liu Jinyu. He held his hands solemnly and said: "This is the government's spy in some important places. It is very secret and cannot be known to others."
"Where are they all?" Liu Jinyu looked at these numbers, one, two, three and four in lowercase... This was a set of secret words.
"There are two cities in the east and west, Jinguang Gate in the west city, Yushitai, Dali Temple Prison, Qianniu Prison, Zhou Guogong's Palace, the Ministry of Punishment Shangshu's Palace, the East Palace, and the Daming Palace." Li Bi's voice was very low.
Although Liu Jinyu was frightened, she quickly calmed down.
These are undoubtedly the core trump cards of every palace.
The two cities in the east and west are the easiest places to transmit news. The Yushitai is used to find out whether someone is impeached. It can even be connected to the Political Affairs Hall from the Yushitai.
Dali Temple Prison, Qianniu Prison, once the people inside open their mouths, even Wang Jue can be pulled down.
Of course, we have our own people here. If something bad happens to them in the future, it is not a bad idea to escape from here.
From ancient times to the present, although it is rare to hear of people escaping from these two places, it is just a deliberate attempt to cover up the authority.
As long as they didn't force their way in, there were not many people escaping from these two places.
In the Zhou Guogong Mansion and the Minister of Justice's Mansion, the people in the court who are most malicious to Li Xuan are none other than Wu Chengsi and Pei Yan.
As for the East Palace and the Imperial Palace...
"Who are these people?" Liu Jinyu turned over the note with secret words and looked at Li Bi solemnly.
"I don't know." Li Bi shook his head and said, "Li Mo has always been responsible for news. Apart from the prince, he is the only one who knows the secrets here best. His subordinates are only responsible for collecting news from the agreed place on a regular basis. My subordinates don’t know who he is, and they won’t investigate.”
Liu Jinyu nodded slightly and asked, "So where is Li Mo now?"
"It should be Songzhou." Li Bi guessed: "No matter where the prince goes, Li Mo will arrive first to collect information."
Liu Jinyu nodded and said, "That's right. Is there anything in the news that we should pay special attention to right now?"
"Yes, two pieces." Li Bi took out two pieces of paper from the desk with a solemn expression and placed them in front of Liu Jinyu. Then he took a step back and said, "These two pieces are news that was just sent back today. , the first one belongs to the Duke of Zhou, who is competing for the property released by the British Duke, but he secretly has special contacts with people from the British Duke."
After Li Jingye was exiled in disguise, all legal and illegal properties of the British government were confiscated by the palace.
Some things were kept by the palace, but everything that was not needed by the palace was released and was fought over by countless princes and nobles.
Naturally, Wu Chengsi would not let it go, but it would be interesting if he secretly had contact with Li Jingye’s family.
Liu Jinyu read the news, felt moved in his heart, and said: "Send two people to Caozhou to hide in hiding. Starting from half a year later, they will act in the name of the British Duke."
Did you contact Li Jingye from the Wu Chengsi incident?
Although Li Bi was surprised, he still cupped his hands and said, "Here!"
"The rest of this?"
"It's news from the palace."
