No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 368 Compromise (Part Two)
Xie Yan asked for the booty Yu Mingqiu had found to be given to Kanbula, and Kanbula appeared at the Prince Regent's Palace early the next morning.

Following the stewards of the Prince Regent's Mansion all the way into the palace, looking at the houses with carved beams and painted buildings not far away, Khenpola thought of the palace with towering palace walls, resplendent and majestic.

His gaze became more and more eager, and a raging fire was faintly flickering in his eyes.

For the Central Plains people, southern Xinjiang has been a remote and wild land since ancient times.Compared with the luxury and wealth of the people in the Central Plains, even the most powerful people in southern Xinjiang are extremely poor and shabby.

"My lord is inside, please, my lord." The steward led Khenpo to the door of the study, then stopped, and said to Khenpo respectfully.

Khenpo didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and opened the door.

As expected, Xie Yan was in the study, sitting behind the desk reading the scriptures.He had obviously heard the voice from outside, and he had already put down the bag in his hand and raised his head, "Please come in."

Khenpo snorted softly, walked in with a sullen face and sat down in a chair beside him.

Xie Yan said indifferently: "Since Your Excellency has come to the Prince Regent's Mansion in person, there must be something important that you want to tell the King in person?"

Khenpo stared at Xie Yan coldly and said: "It is said that the regent king is a rare and talented general in Dasheng with outstanding military exploits. Now it seems that the prince's scheming is really deep, and it is not comparable to ordinary generals."

Xie Yan didn't care, "There is no difference between the battlefield and the court. Your Excellency came here specially to praise this king?"

Khenpo raised his hand and spread out his palm. In his palm was a hidden weapon. Xie Yan had seen this hidden weapon yesterday.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally gave Khenpo a lot of attention.He threw aside the folder in front of him, and looked at the gloomy-faced man in southern Xinjiang in front of him.

Khenpo's voice was a bit sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The hidden totem on this is the imprint of the Hongshan tribe in southern Xinjiang."

Xie Yan was not surprised, but asked calmly: "Are you sure?" The Hongshan tribe is the mother's family of Kampula's mother, that is, the mother family of the southern Xinjiang saint who pretended to be a daughter of an aristocratic family and married into Xiao's family.

But it makes sense, Khenpo got the clues from the Hongshan Department, how did he know that people didn't know what he took from the Hongshan Department?

Compared with Kampula's anger, Xie Yan seemed very calm, "I don't care who the saintesses of Southern Xinjiang come from, nor do I care whether the tribes in Southern Xinjiang are strong or weak. The only thing is that the eldest son of the Xiao family was killed and the eldest son of the Luo family Young master was assassinated, there must be an explanation."

Khenpo sneered and said, "Your Highness, you want me to find out the culprit? Why?"

Xie Yan said: "Just because you are in Shangyong now, you still want to go back alive. It is best to go back with what you want. Kampula, southern Xinjiang has surrendered to the Central Plains for hundreds of years. More than 20 years ago, the leaders of various tribes in southern Xinjiang personally Send a letter of pronounciation to Dasheng, including your Furukawa Ministry. According to the rules, foreign officials and vassal lords are not allowed to enter Beijing without reason. You must report to the Ministry of Officials or the Secretary of Xuanzheng within one day after entering Beijing. Although you are only the son of the tribal chief, you should also In this case?"

Khenpo's face darkened a bit, of course he knew there was such a rule, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

He is not the patriarch, so whether he should report to the Secretary of Xuanzheng is the same thing.Anyway, it is impossible for the imperial court to convict him and Furukawa for this, unless the imperial court originally planned to attack them.

If so, it would be useless for him to report obediently, instead he would send the sheep to the tiger's mouth by himself.

So this kind of thing is fine if no one pursues it, but at this time Xie Yan personally brought it up, and it was Khenpola's fault.

It was also this time that things went wrong after he came to Shangyong. Originally, he had no plan to meet people from the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Luo family.I didn't want to have conflicts with the Luo family brothers and sisters as soon as I arrived in the capital. Afterwards, the Xiao family's affairs were not smooth, and they still provoked the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Luo family.

"Don't your lord think it's difficult for others to be too strong?" Khenpo said, "I'm alone in Shangyong, and the man who dared to assassinate the eldest son of the Luo family in the imperial city obviously brought a lot of people. What does your lord want from me?" To take care of each other? Take my life?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

Khenpo took a deep breath and said, "I can only tell the prince about the other party."

Xie Yan said: "How do I know if the news you gave is accurate?"

Khenpo's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth: "The jade pendant is still in your hands. I can help you arrest people, but... I won't show up!" If the news leaks back, in the eyes of the people in southern Xinjiang, he is a traitor who helped the people in the Central Plains to harm their own people.

No matter how intriguing the tribes in southern Xinjiang are, in the hearts of most people in southern Xinjiang, they are different from Dasheng people after all.

Xie Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said: "Yes."

Naturally, the imperial court did not lack that bit of force, and it was still useful for him to keep the Khenpo, so naturally he would not really push him into a hurry.

Khenpola came with a gloomy expression, and left with a gloomy expression.

After he was gone, Luo Junyao came out from behind, went to sit beside Xie Yan, leaned himself into his arms and asked, "Can Khenpo's words be trusted?"

Xie Yan shook her hand and nodded lightly, "After knowing the news, Khenpo will only be more angry than us. Even if we don't do it, he will do it. It was just a deliberate show of weakness, and he wanted to make the Regent Palace and Luo It's just the family meddling."

"You know he did it on purpose, so why let him do what he wants?" Luo Junyao asked puzzled.

Xie Yan chuckled lightly and said, "He's right. The other party came prepared and he's probably no match. We want Khenpo to return to southern Xinjiang properly, so we have to help him."

Luo Junyao sighed, "I feel a bit at a loss." Khenpo clearly had bad intentions, not only did they not punish him, but they also had to help him?
Xie Yan smiled helplessly, and said softly: "It's not a loss, thanks to his appearance, otherwise, it might be possible for people to fish in troubled waters. In addition... when he returns to Southern Border, I'm afraid there will be no trouble." few."

"Ok?"

Xie Yan said: "The person who took action against Jinyan and Xiao Chen may not be the real person behind the scenes. It should be similar to Khenpo, but was sent to the Central Plains to handle affairs."

Luo Junyao understood in an instant, "Two groups of people came to Shangyong for the same purpose, and the other party's dead Khenpo but managed to achieve his goal and went back. The other party will definitely regard Khenpo as a thorn in his side. Those people hold grudges, and the two sides will not be peaceful after returning to southern Xinjiang."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Yao Yao is really smart."

As expected, Kampula did what he said, and two days later he sent someone to inform the Prince Regent's House that he had found the whereabouts of those people.

Although it is now on its own territory, it has to be said that people from southern Xinjiang know people from southern Xinjiang better.

Xie Yan didn't even come out personally after receiving the news from the Khenbu sent people.

It was just an order to Gu Jue to handle the matter with Luo Jinyan.Because Luo Jinyan was assassinated, and the affairs of the Xiao family were mainly handled by Luo Jinyan, these matters were naturally handed over to him.

When Gu Jue and Luo Jinyan were going to exterminate those southern Xinjiang people who had sneaked into Shangyong, Xie Yan was drinking tea with Mrs. Su at Su's house with Luo Junyao.

"My lord has worked hard these days." Mrs. Su, who was sitting by the window, held up a teacup and respected Xie Yan, smiling authentically.

Xie Yan raised his hand in return, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher's words are serious, it's all my king's business."

Su Taifu sighed and said: "The prince has only returned to Beijing for a few months, but the Shangyonghuang City is full of turbulent winds, and there is no leisure for a moment. Fortunately, there are still some good things..."

While talking, Mrs. Su cast her eyes out of the window, in the yard outside the window, Luo Junyao and Su Rui were playing in the snow with little friend Su Xuan.

Because they wanted to come to Su's house, the two simply brought Su Xuan back. Su Xuan has been living in the Prince Regent's Mansion these days, but he hasn't been home for several days.

Seeing the cheerful smiles of the two girls and some young and mature boys, the smile on Taifu Su's face deepened a bit.

Xie Yan followed his gaze, and his eyes fell on Luo Junyao, his eyes became much gentler, "Teacher said so."

Su Taifu said softly: "The prince is here today, is it because of the Xiao family's affairs?"

Xie Yan withdrew his gaze, looked at Grand Tutor Su seriously and said, "That's right, it seems that Grand Tutor has also heard about the Xiao family. How much does Grand Tutor know about Mr. Xueyang?"

Master Su shook his head and said: "At first I didn't know, after all...Mr. Xueyang is my teacher. As a student, I can't intervene in the teacher's private affairs. What's more, when I was studying with Mr. Xueyang , and did not find any abnormalities. In my eyes, Mr. Xueyang was the person I imagined that his words, deeds, deeds, talents and learning abilities were the most in line with the status of a great Confucian in the world. Mr. Xueyang's demeanor back then, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a celestial being. "

Xie Yan said: "I have heard several old gentlemen talk about the demeanor of Mr. Xueyang, but it is a pity that I will not be able to see it in person."

Mrs. Su smiled and said: "Don't say it's you, even after I left Yangxin, I haven't seen Mr. Xueyang a few times. Mr. Xueyang has almost never stepped out of Yangxin in his life. On the contrary, shortly before his death, he was sent to see Mr. Xueyang. sent me a letter."

Xie Yan was also a little surprised, "Did he tell the Taifu his life experience?"

Taifu Su shook his head and said: "I didn't read that letter, and I don't know what the prince said about Mr. Xueyang's life experience. But since the prince said so, what happened to the Xiao family these two days... is related to Are people from southern Xinjiang related?"

Xie Yan nodded silently.

Su Taifu held the teacup in a daze for a while, before he sighed and said: "My lord, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he stood up, refused Xie Yan's support, and slowly walked into the study on the other side.

After a while, Mrs. Su came back with a simple and unpretentious small wooden box, put the wooden box in front of Xie Yan and said: "I didn't read this letter, when Mr. Xueyang asked someone to deliver the letter back then There is another letter, which is for me. Mr. Xueyang said in the letter, if something happens to the Xiao family one day, please help the Xiao family and hand over this letter to the person in power at the time."

Xie Yan opened the wooden box, and there was indeed an old and yellowed envelope with the wax seal in it.

"Thank you, Grand Tutor." Xie Yan nodded and said in a deep voice.
