"Why are you still talking about this now?"
Zhu Yueyao punched Liu Yingrong in shame, and then added dejectedly.
"Besides, Rong Feidu has already made an engagement with Ji Rou'er. Even if I want to get married, my mother and the emperor's brother won't agree."
"As long as you want to get married, that's fine. Now is an excellent opportunity."
Liu Yingrong punched Zhu Yueyao back and said excitedly.
"ah?"
Liu Yingrong was skilled in martial arts, but she couldn't control the force of the punch in her excitement, which made Zhu Yueyao feel a dull pain in her chest. However, Zhu Yueyao ignored the pain and stared at Liu Yingrong blankly, waiting for her to speak clearly.
"But we'll talk about this later. Let me analyze the situation outside for you first."
Liu Yingrong, on the other hand, tried to sell it out.
"When I accompanied my father to pack the books that I needed to take back home today, several of my father's disciples happened to come to visit me. While chatting, I heard those people mentioning things about Rong Fei and Ji Xian Si.
Wasn't Rong Fei investigating the missing persons cases in Kyoto in recent years? Just yesterday, Ji Xiansi and Dongchang rescued hundreds of abducted... um... men and women in a village outside the city. I heard that there were also many children in their teens. The owner of Zhuangzi is probably the mastermind behind the abduction and trafficking of Kyoto's population over the years.
In addition to rescuing the abducted people from that village, they also captured a dozen well-trained villagers and ten military crossbows alive. "
"Military crossbow! Is it the frontier army?"
Zhu Yueyao exclaimed.
Liu Yingrong smiled slightly and did not answer, but continued.
"This morning, Rong Fei paid a visit to Marquis Jingyuan. From the time he entered the house to the time he came out, it took less than a cup of tea."
Zhu Yueyao was also a very smart person, and she immediately guessed the implication of Liu Yingrong's words.
"No...no way, Marquis Jingyuan...should not do such a thing."
"It's always hard to talk about this kind of thing."
Liu Yingrong curled her lips and said.
Although Liu Yingrong was a woman, she was very interested in officialdom struggles. Over the years, she would rely on her father Liu Chuanfang's side whenever anything happened, asking him to tell interesting stories and secret histories about officialdom.
Long-term exposure has given Liu Yingrong a good understanding of the true face of the officials in Kyoto.
As sanctimonious as he appears on the surface, he is so shameless behind the scenes.
It's not too much to call them dressed-up beasts, and it's even suspected of beautifying them.
So even though Chang Gaoyuan has the reputation of Dayan's God of War, and his reputation has been pretty good for many years, Liu Yingrong still treats everyone equally based on the principle of being as black as a crow in the world.
Of course, his father Liu Chuanfang is not among them.
"It's hard to say who Marquis Jingyuan is, but judging from Rong Fei's actions and the news that He Ting just found out, Chang Huaien must be the mastermind and has not escaped.
According to the remarks in the biography written by Rong Fei that day, Rong Fei attaches great importance to the people and believes that the people are the foundation of a country. If that bastard Chang Huaien did such evil, Rong Fei would definitely not let him go. "
"Since Rong Fei has found out that the mastermind is Chang Huaien, then just report it to the emperor's brother and let the emperor's brother chop Chang Huaien. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Zhu Yueyao said in confusion.
"Sure enough, if you have a man in your heart, your brain will become stupid."
Liu Yingrong hated her and nodded Zhu Yueyao's head hard.
"Chang Huaien is the only son of Marquis Jingyuan. Punishing Chang Huaien is equivalent to cutting off the incense of Marquis Jingyuan. It is almost the same as directly beheading Marquis Jingyuan.
Who is Jing Yuanhou? Dayan War God, the most important minister of the military, his Qingzhou Battalion guards Xuanhuang Pass, one of the three major passes. Xuanhuang Pass is only two thousand miles away from Kyoto, with a vast plain in between. The most elite 30,000 troops in the Qingzhou camp are equivalent to Chang Gaoyuan's private soldiers.
If Chang Gaoyuan were to die, do you think he would do something crazy? "
When Zhu Yueyao heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she murmured.
"You're right, it doesn't matter
What a shameless thing Chang Huaien did. The overall situation was of paramount importance and he could not be touched no matter what. "
"But now it seems that Rong Fei doesn't believe in that evil! I have to say that Rong Fei's behavior is very manly, and even I am a little tempted."
Liu Yingrong joked.
Zhu Yueyao glared at Liu Yingrong, and then asked anxiously.
"Sister Yingrong, if... if Rong Fei really kills Chang Huai'en, what will the Emperor's brother... do to him?"
"Don't worry, with the concubine's connections, there should be no worries about your life. And won't Rongfei be promoted to a great scholar in a while? The country has been in power for eight hundred years, but there is no precedent for executing a great scholar."
"That's good! That's good!"
Zhu Yueyao immediately felt relieved after hearing that Rong Fei was not in danger.
After feeling relieved, he immediately remembered another thing that concerned him most. He took Liu Yingrong's hand and asked shyly with a red face.
"Sister Yingrong, you just said...about...what opportunity is coming."
"Hey, think about it, why is there no rumor in Kyoto about such a big thing as the son of Marquis Jingyuan's human trafficking? Not only the people in the market, but even most officials in the court are unaware of this matter."
"Yes, for such a big thing, why aren't there any rumors in the capital?"
Zhu Yueyao asked strangely.
"This is what I admire most about Rong Fei. He wants to execute Chang Huai'en and give justice to the people who were trafficked. Protecting the people is to consolidate the foundation of the country.
But Chang Gaoyuan is, after all, a frontier general with a heavy army. Once Chang Huaien's abduction and trafficking of Kyoto people are exposed, regardless of whether Chang Gaoyuan is involved or not, he will be questioned and implicated, causing shock to the frontier.
At that time, Chang Gaoyuan had only two choices, either to raise troops to rebel, or to be impeached by hundreds of officials and removed from his position as Qingzhou's chief military officer. But no matter which one happens, it is a loss for the country, and it may even trigger the northern demon clan to take the opportunity to attack Xuanhuang Pass in a large scale.
But Rong Fei's decision gave the third answer.
He still wanted to kill Chang Huaien, but he did not tell the reason for killing Chang Huaien. In this way, His Majesty can use personal grudges as an excuse to get over this matter. Chang Gaoyuan will not be implicated because of this case and can continue to be his chief military officer in Qingzhou and God of War of Dayan. "
"However, Chang Huaien is still dead, and Jingyuanhou is still dead."
"My silly princess, is your emperor brother your noble brother this year?"
Liu Yingrong suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Thirty-three."
Zhu Yueyao replied subconsciously.
"Then how old is your eighth brother, Prince Qi, this year?"
"Eight years old."
"Look, there's a difference of twenty-five years. Do you still remember how old the late emperor was when King Qi was born?"
"Um…"
Zhu Yueyao bit her fingers and calculated in her mind.
"Don't forget it, Chang Huaien is just twenty this year. Jingyuanhou is in the prime of life. He will take a concubine this year and give birth to a child next year. He and Chang Huaien are only twenty-one years apart. If he works hard, he might be able to have a few more. .”
"In other words, as long as the Emperor's brother is properly comforted, there won't be much of a problem at Marquis Jingyuan, right?"
"This issue is something that your emperor brother has to worry about. The most important thing right now is how to let you get what you want through this matter."
You get what you want!
Upon hearing these four words, Zhu Yueyao's eyebrows suddenly flickered, but then dimmed again.
This matter has nothing to do with me at all.
Liu Yingrong could see Zhu Yueyao's thoughts at a glance, patted her shoulder and promised confidently.
"Hey, with my help, you will succeed immediately!"
