I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 276: The Danger of Hou Mansion
Weizhou, a remote house, at this moment, the lights are bright, and a few black shadows quickly swept into the house, "My lord..."

After the Forbidden Dragon Guard who reported the information left, Chongguang came out of the house. He only wore a single shirt in the cold weather. From the baggy skirt, he could see the gauze wrapped around his shoulders, faintly stained with blood.

In front of the desk, Yin Wuyan put the letter in his hand in front of the candle and lit it, and then a cold voice sounded, "How is the injury?"

"The boat capsized in the gutter, but Qiye, I found that the martial arts of that group of people are similar to those of the Huai'an Mansion." Chongguang grinned, pulled a chair and sat down beside him, "It's a pity that they are all dead soldiers. They all took poison and killed themselves."

Hearing the words Huai'an Mansion, Yin Wuyan's handsome face turned cold in an instant, killing intent flashed across her phoenix eyes,
The matter in Huai'an Mansion was settled that day. In the final analysis, the Holy Majesty didn't want to continue the investigation, fearing that the investigation would end up with results that he didn't want to see. After all, Zhan Feiyu was not in danger.

But Gu Qingzhou couldn't get over this matter. Similarly, Yin Wuyan also wrote it down. It's not that he didn't report it, it's not time yet!
Chongguang was injured this time, in the final analysis, to capture this group of people alive, so he was accidentally injured. He was stabbed in the shoulder and almost pierced by a sharp arrow in the chest.

"Let Xi Qisu lead people to lurk to the sixteen prefectures under the jurisdiction of Longyou Dao." Yin Wuyan stood up and was looking at the distribution map of Longyou Dao prefectures spread out on the desk.

Different from the prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, Longyou Dao is almost a barren land, but it is also the border of the Daqing Dynasty, with sixteen prefectures under its jurisdiction. In addition to the guards of the prefectures, the real military power is controlled by the Seven Guards.

Chong Guang leaned over his head and looked, "Qi Ye, the Yang family intends to make friends, if we reveal a little information, as long as the Holy Majesty rises and restores the Yang family, our people can take at least one-third of the military power in Longyou Dao."

During such a critical period, Old General Yang asked Yang Xu to live with Zhan Feiyu in the Qiu Mansion, so why not use Zhan Feiyu's name to protect Yang Xu? On the other hand, this is also the Yang family's trust in Zhan Feiyu .

The icy phoenix pupils never fluctuated, the military power of Longyou Dao, no matter whether it was the ministers in the court or the princes in the palace, their eyes turned red, but Yin Wuyan remained unmoved.

"The Yang family is far away from the imperial court, and the purpose of befriending Bachelor Gu is just to have a helper in the imperial court, so as not to repeat the same mistakes." The cold voice is different from Qiu Jinyu's clear and melodious, every word is as if frozen by ice and snow. The cold feeling can spread to the whole body.

Well, Qi Ye actually looked down on the Yang family!Chong Guang rolled his eyes, as long as the Holy Majesty rises up to revive the Yang family, those princes are probably scrambling to win over the Yang family, that is a real military power!
Yin Wuyan continued in a cold voice: "The Holy Majesty has taken over the Northwest Seven Guards for eight years, and has not won people's hearts for eight years. Do you think those people will easily betray?"

The merits of the Yang family are the accumulation of countless achievements in battle, and they are the result of the bloodshed and sacrifice of generations of people in the general's mansion, and the loyalty of the old members of the Yang family cannot be shaken by others, including Today is holy.

So Xiao En Xiaohui will not just buy these people, if you want to gain military power, you will definitely conflict with the Yang family. In this case, why should Yin Wuyan support the Yang family? No bullying!
"So we don't want the military power of Longyou Dao?" Chong Guang understood the meaning of Yin Wuyan's words, and his eyes stayed on the map again, "Forbidden Dragon Guards only sent people to investigate the information of Longyou Dao."

These people are the nails, they lurk down while the Longyou Dao is in turmoil, in the future, if there is any trouble in the Longyou Dao, the news will be sent back to the forbidden dragon guard at the first time, this is the real purpose of Yin Wuyan.

"If you don't get involved in the military power, the Holy Majesty will be at ease." Yin Wuyan's eyes were dark and difficult to discern. Even if the Holy Majesty trusted himself, this trust would be shaken when it came to military power and the country.

So Yin Wuyan's trip is also a statement, he has no interest in military power, only in this way will the Holy Majesty really feel relieved.

Chongguang understood it thoroughly, and couldn't help laughing, "No wonder the fat girl dared to order Dou Hanhai to arrest people with the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. She is confident and has the demeanor of our Forbidden Dragon Guard."

If Qi Ye doesn't get involved in the military power, then the forbidden dragon guards can act in an upright way, and if they don't have desires, they can be just.

Under the candlelight, the originally cold and indifferent handsome face softened in an instant, and Yin Wuyan could imagine the little girl bullying others with a token.

"Those people dare to attack Yang Xu, but the name of Bachelor Gu can't restrain them." Yin Wuyan's voice was inexplicably proud and complacent, and the Forbidden Dragon Guard was reliable at critical times.

Thinking of the notoriety of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, Chongguang laughed, "The fat girl can open a dyeing workshop with some color, haha, I guess she will definitely be able to walk sideways in Weizhou!"

Zhan Feiyu still caught Zhang Yiyi, the sleeper of the Marquis of the town, and the effect of killing chickens and monkeys is definitely leveraged.

The little girl is best at judging the situation, which is why Yin Wuyan felt relieved that she was out alone, but thinking of the situation in Longyou Dao, Yin Wuyan wrote another secret letter and sent it out. No matter what, the little girl's safety is the most important thing!
……

The news of Zhang Yiyi's arrest was also sent back to Zhenbianhou's mansion immediately.

"Father." Even though he had already fallen asleep, when he heard the summons from the Marquis of Zhenbian, not only the eldest son, but also the two younger brothers, and four adult grandsons all dressed up and rushed to the main courtyard.

"Everyone sit down." Looking at the handsome juniors, Zhen Bianhou raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then told the news that Zhang Yiyi was arrested and imprisoned.

"Beating a dog depends on the owner, and Zhan Feiyu is too crazy!" The young and vigorous Zhu San said with a ferocious face, "Grandfather, you are just a yellow-haired girl, and Long Youdao dies at the hands of barbarian spies every year." people don't know how many there are!"

Compared with the recklessness and impulsiveness of the third cousin, Zhusheng, the eldest son of the town's border marquis in his thirties, said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Because beating a dog depends on the owner, Zhan Feiyu is nothing to be afraid of, but Behind her is Gu Qingzhou, not to mention that she has an unclear relationship with the Forbidden Dragon Guard."

Even though the sons and grandsons of Zhenbianhou's mansion can walk sideways in Longyou Road, they all changed their faces when they heard the word "Jinlongwei".

Even the arrogant Zhu San had an ugly expression on his face. It was easy to kill Zhan Feiyu, but the subsequent troubles were beyond the reach of the Zhenbian Houfu.

"Grandfather, the Holy One intends to revive the Yang family for the sake of the salt tax. Our Hou Mansion is already in the most difficult period. If we offend Gu Xueshi and the Forbidden Dragon Guard at this time, it will make the situation worse." Zhu Zhengrong's words were Considering the overall situation, forbearance of temporary anger is for the long-term consideration of the Zhenbianhou Mansion.

"Zhengrong, you are right, but have you ever thought about it? If we can't get through this hurdle, what awaits us in the Marquis's residence will be the ending of ransacking our house and destroying our family. Any consideration of the overall situation and long-term planning are all nonsense." Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest son, is jealous of his eldest brother who is the son of the eldest son, so naturally he can't understand Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest grandson.

As soon as the second child Zhu said this, the atmosphere in the study instantly became tense, even the townside Hou who was sitting in the main seat looked ugly, the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die!The end of the Yang family back then seemed to be the end of the Zhu family of the Zhenbianhou Mansion not long after.

Zhu San was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help complaining, "Back then I said to use thunder to win over the military power. If we had the Zhu family's military power in our hands, how could we be so passive today?"

"That will only make you die faster!" Zhu Laosan, who is a younger uncle, is a scholar, and his words are harsh, but they are reasonable.

The emperor's Wentao and Wulue had also been conquered by the emperor himself. As the uncle of the emperor, Prince Yu also offered military power with both hands, and finally became the idle king of Beijing.

Marquis of Zhenbian was married to Princess Ren'an back then, but Princess Ren'an took refuge in the second prince before the Holy Majesty became a great treasure. The surname is Yin, and the blood of the royal family flows from his body.

Secondly, the Holy Majesty needed to use the Zhenbianhou Mansion to restrain the Yang family, especially after the Yang family was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and treason. The generals of the Seven Guards are all confidantes sent by the Holy One.

As long as the Zhenbianhou's mansion dares to act a little bigger and has the heart to get involved in military power, the Holy Majesty will never be merciless when it comes to cleaning up, so the Zhenbianhou can only take it slowly.

After all, Longyou Dao is far away from the capital. As the saying goes, the general will not accept the orders of the emperor outside. Zhenbianhou intends to use the method of boiling frogs in warm water to continuously erode Longyou Dao's military power.

It's a pity that eight years have passed, with little effect. Originally, another eight years, maybe the Hou Mansion will be successful. Who knows that Zhan Feiyu has a new salt production method, which will lead to a reform of the salt tax. Controlling the annual salt tax of up to 5000 million guan, the Yang family had to be revived, and the situation of the Zhenbianhou Mansion was not only embarrassing but also dangerous.

"Father." The son is over fifty years old, his facial features resemble those of a town border marquis, his tiger eyes are as sharp as awns under his sword eyebrows, he doesn't look old at all, and he is more powerful than those young generals in the army.

As soon as the son opened his mouth, not to mention the four juniors, Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan also sat up straight. Zhenbianhou valued the eldest son not only because of his age, but also because of his magnanimity and strategic ability.

"The Holy Majesty raised the Yang Family back not only because of the salt tax, but also because the Holy Majesty is getting old, and one day he will establish a reserve. In eight years, the Holy Majesty will not be able to firmly control the military power of Longyou Dao. Then wait for the crown prince or even the new emperor to ascend the throne. Longyou Dao is the most unstable factor, the Holy Majesty's move is just to use the salt tax to favor the Yang family and ensure the stability of Longyou Dao."

It has to be said that even if the son is far away from the capital, he is far better than other people present, even Zhenbianhou, in guessing the holy will.

There are nearly 30 soldiers in Longyou Dao, and the seven guards have a total of 20 troops. Once the Yang family has the intention of committing chaos, even if the foundation of the Daqing Dynasty cannot be shaken, the entire Longyou Dao still has the Dongguan Road that borders Longyou Dao , Zhongguan Road, and even Qianzhong Road and Shannan Road will be affected.

"The Yang family has not been in power for eight years. Are those people planted with the Gu of the Yang family? They are all determined!" Zhu San slammed his fist on the table in resentment, the loyalty of the old Yang family made him gnash his teeth in hatred But helpless.

The Holy Majesty can't win over these people, let alone the crown prince or the new emperor in the future, so the Holy Majesty will take the first step to restore the Yang family and let the Yang family regain control of the military. When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Longyou Dao must be stable.

As for the loyalty of the Yang family, there is no doubt about it, otherwise, he would not have allowed the three grandparents of the Yang family to live in Shitou Village and let Qiu Zongxi protect them.

"30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, now that the Yang family has recovered, the Zhu family in the town's Marquis Mansion is the one that has declined." The town's Marquis' voice was still loud, but his eyes dimmed a bit.

The hero's end is the most appropriate interpretation of Zhen Bianhou. He has planned all his life, but in the end he fell short.

Zhang Yiyi's arrest and imprisonment was a hint, no matter whether it was Chaotang or Longyou Dao, everyone knew that the Holy Majesty was going to attack Zhenbianhou's mansion.

In other words, the Holy Majesty wants to repair the relationship with the Yang family through the Zhenbianhou Mansion, and the Yang family is about to step on the Zhenbianhou Mansion to wish their family members prosperity.

Thinking about it this way, everyone in the study suddenly understood why it was the Holy Majesty who sat on the dragon chair back then.

The Marquis of Zhenbian is just a pawn in the hands of the Holy Master. Back then, he kept the Marquis of Zhenbian's mansion to stabilize the border, and now he sacrificed the Marquis of Zhenbian's mansion.

Of course, the Yang family is just a pawn on the chessboard, but the Yang family is more useful to the Holy Majesty, so the Yang family will recover and regain the glory of the General's Mansion!

The crown prince spoke again, and his steady voice broke the suffocating silence, "Now that the Hou family wants to gain a chance of survival, they just need to join the crown prince, the new emperor in the future!"

The Holy Majesty can be said to be a benevolent monarch. Although the Zhenbianhou Mansion has deliberately tampered with military power over the years, it has acted cautiously and thoughtfully, and there is no reason to leave it. As long as the Holy Spirit goes online, the Zhenbianhou Mansion can survive even if it loses power. In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the Zhenbianhou Mansion, which first took refuge in the new emperor, can be revived again. This is the merit of Conglong!
"Uncle, which prince will the Holy Majesty appoint as the crown prince?" Zhu San was definitely impatient, he dared to gossip with his cousin Zhu Zhengrong, but facing the eldest uncle, Zhu San's attitude was absolutely in awe.

Not to mention that everyone in the Marquis of Zhenbian didn't know, even the ministers in the court, the princes and concubines in the palace, it is estimated that no one knew which prince the Holy Majesty valued, and the hope that had just been ignited was about to go out .

Zhu Zhengrong had discussed with his father many times the situation between North Korea and China in private, and now he accepted the words: "We don't know, but Gu Xueshi must know, and Zhan Feiyu is the key to this!"

Gu Xueshi is far away in the capital, even if the Zhenbianhou Mansion has the ability to reach the sky, there is no way to get information from Gu Xueshi, and Zhan Feiyu, as Gu Xueshi's only disciple, is also the lifeline of the Zhenbianhou Mansion.

Zhenbianhou, who was silent for a long time, thought of the little girl he saw in the ruined temple, "That little girl is very evil."

The so-called evil is both good and evil, which is unpredictable!Regarding the matter of Huai'an Mansion, after 48 corpses were hung on the city wall, the Zhenbian Hou Mansion also sent people to inquire about the news. Although Zhan Feiyu was a scholar, he had a life on his hands!
Moreover, she appeared in Xiangwu County and had contact with the Yang family, which also shows that Gu Xueshi is more interested in the Yang family that is about to recover, rather than the declining Zhenbianhou Mansion. It is not easy to get close to Zhan Feiyu. It is even more difficult to win her over!
Zhan Feiyu, who was studying hard in Hanchuang, Xiangwu County, didn't know at all that the Zhenbianhou Mansion had set his mind on him, and was trying to win her over, but even if he knew, Zhan Feiyu wouldn't care.

What is holy will?That is to act according to the idea of ​​the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty wants to clean up the Zhenbian Hou Mansion to vent his anger on the Yang family. Unless Zhan Feiyu is out of her mind, why she wants to die has something to do with the Zhenbian Hou Mansion.

After Qiu Jinyu came back from the county government prison, Yang Xu felt relieved. No matter how much he hated him, he still didn't want Zhang Yiyi's life to be in danger.

"Big brother's letter?" Zhan Feiyu was in a great mood, his eyes were closed when he smiled, and he didn't even care about writing half of the article, so he hurriedly took the letterhead He Nuan handed over.

After half an hour.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu, who first browsed quickly and then read word by word for the second time, He Nuan couldn't help feeling the fate between people, Qiye's indifferent temperament, but he was very good to the young lady.

At the same time, the young lady looks kind and well-behaved, but in her bones she has a different indifference from ordinary people.

Just like this time, if Yang Xu blamed the young lady for Zhang's imprisonment and held resentment, then the young lady only had face for the Yang family and Yang Xu, and would only do business.

The smile on the corner of his mouth collapsed, and the eyes that were shining with joy also dimmed. Zhan Feiyu folded the letter carefully, "Big brother is busy with work, so I don't have time to come to Xiangwu County."

"The situation in Longyou Dao is not stable, Lord Qi will definitely be busy." He Nuan explained in a warm voice that the Forbidden Dragon Guard's ability to gain the trust of the Holy One is inseparable from the dedication of Qi Ye. Even if Qi Ye is in Longyou Dao, I'm afraid There is no time to come to the remote Xiangwu County.
