Qinglong was kneeling in front of the prince respectfully, but when he heard the prince's question, he suddenly raised his head, his brows were already furrowed, and he said in surprise, "Your Highness, did you say that Feng Hanxiao was killed by Qinglong's men?"

Seeing the astonishment on Xuanwu's face, the prince knew that Xuanwu must have been ignorant of this beforehand. ,

"So you don't know about it?"

Xuanwu said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, before you asked about this matter, I didn't know anything about it. Weidu has always been cautious and secretive in assigning errands, and the four thousand households of Shenyiwei have nothing to do with each other. Only two or more thousand households will be assigned to work together on errands, and under normal circumstances, the four largest thousand households need to be on their own.”

The prince nodded slightly. In fact, before he asked, he didn't expect Xuanwu to know the truth. Shenyiwei has always been cautious and secretive. Assassination of Feng Hanxiao is such a big event, there must be very few people who know the inside story.

"According to what I know, the Shenyiwei White Building is the Yiguo Duke's Mansion?" The prince was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "It has been rumored that there are countless files in the Shenyi White Building, and many things that Shenyiwei has done. , the files can be found in Bailou, is there such a thing?

Xuanwu said sternly: "Reporting to Your Highness, everyone in the world says that Shenyiwei is omniscient, which is a bit exaggerated, but in the White House, there are indeed mountains of files in it, and the files of all the officials of the court are all Among them, everything that Shenyiwei does, no matter whether it is successful or not, is archived in the Bailou. The officials in the White House who specialize in managing the archives sorted out the archives." After a pause, he said: "If there is no accident, Feng Hanxiao was killed, such a major event, there should be archives in the Bailou, that is Qinglong Qianhu, When you go out on errands, you must also act according to the rules of Shenyiwei, and report your actions to the White House!"

The prince said: "You mean, in the White House, it is really possible to find out the truth about Feng Hanxiao's murder?"

Xuanwu hesitated for a moment before saying cautiously: "According to common sense, there should be an archive in it. But... there is another possibility!"

"what?"

"The matter is too big to be archived." Xuanwu said: "Such an important file must be handed over to the Governor of Wei for inspection. After the inspection of the Lord Wei, if you feel that such a file cannot be preserved, then... very It may be destroyed immediately."

The prince frowned and said, "Is this possible?"

Xuanwu pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "According to the internal rules of Shenyiwei, as a member of Shenyiwei, these things must not be leaked, but His Highness is now in command of Shenyiwei, so the humble position can only be known. Report it all!"

"This is what I want to see." The prince stared at Xuanwu, and said gently: "I also hope that you know everything about me."

Xuanwu said solemnly: "Your Highness said that Qinglong Qianhu assassinated Feng Hanxiao, why and how he acted, I don't know anything about it, but I understand that Qinglong Qianhu would never dare to assassinate an imperial general...!" Paused , then cautiously said: "If there are no accidents, the order to assassinate Feng Hanxiao should be ordered by Lord Wei Duo!"

"Oh?" The prince leaned forward slightly, "Do you think this is Xuanyuan Pingzhang's order?"

Xuanwu said: "It's hard to imagine for a lowly official. Without the order of Lord Wei Du, Qinglong Qianhu would dare to do such a shocking event." After hesitating for a while, he cupped his hands and asked: "Your Highness, I would like to ask you a question. If this matter is realized, the Holy One will know about it." ?”

"You are asking, before Feng Hanxiao was killed, did Emperor Father know about it?" the prince said softly.

Xuanwu nodded and said: "Exactly, if the Holy One instructed Lord Wei Du to issue this order, then there must be a file in the White House, and the reason for the assassination of Feng Hanxiao should also be able to find clues in the file .”

"What if Father doesn't know about this?"

"Then it can only be that Governor Wei issued this order secretly without telling the emperor." Xuanwu said: "If this is the case, Lord Wei will definitely hide this matter and destroy the files, so as not to leave any trouble."

The prince immediately asked: "Does Xuanyuan Pingzhang dare to secretly issue an assassination order behind his father's back?"

Xuanwu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Highness, as a god-clothed thousand household, some words should not be said by the humble official, but... the humble official can guarantee with his life, every order issued by Lord Wei Du, even if some are inappropriate He did not report to the Holy Majesty, but everything he did was for the benefit of the empire and for his loyalty to the Holy Majesty, this is something I firmly believe in."

The crown prince sighed, and said with a wry smile: "So, Xuanyuan Pingzhang really gave a lot of orders behind his father's back."

Xuanwu said solemnly: "Your Highness, I dare to speak frankly in a humble position. In the early years, the Holy One was busy with government affairs, and he couldn't do everything about the Shenyiwei. In recent years, the Holy One is practicing Taoism, and the time is even tighter. There are many things. Your Majesty will directly let Lord Wei Du handle it himself... No matter what Wei Du Lord does, the first consideration is the interests of the empire."

"Qinglong, although you don't know much about this matter, you are a thousand households of gods after all. Could it be that you don't have the slightest awareness of this matter?" The prince frowned and said, "Could it be that you don't know the reason for assassinating Feng Han at all?"

Xuan Wu shook his head, and also frowned, "Actually, Qinglong has always been in charge of the officials in the northwest, and Shenyiwei has also placed eyeliners in the northwest to monitor Feng Hanxiao's actions...!"

Seeing that Xuanwu really didn't know about this matter, the prince was a little disappointed, and said softly: "The green dragon should have fallen into Chu Huan's hands...!"

"Chu Huan?" Xuanwu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes." The crown prince said: "You don't know that when Feng Hanxiao was killed, there were the thirteen Taibao followers by his side. You should know that the bodies of Feng Hanxiao and the Thirteen Taibao fell under the cliff back then. A dead body...!"

Xuanwu nodded and said: "I know that Shenyiwei has been investigating the whereabouts of the missing corpses for the past few years...!" The corner of his eyes twitched, "Your Highness, could it be...Chu Huan...!"

"That's right, Chu Huan is the missing corpse." The prince sneered and said, "He is the only surviving member of the Thirteen Taibao. He escaped from death, and he was the one who revealed the fact of the assassination in the Temple of Heaven. He was the one who declared in public that it was Qinglong who joined forces with the rangers from Xiliang to kill Feng Hanxiao and the Thirteen Taibao."

Xuanwu frowned and said: "So that's how it is. When I was in Anyi, I had a relationship with Chu Huan, but I didn't expect that he was the missing Taibao."

"Then as far as you know, Feng Hanxiao is in the northwest, but does he have any rebellious actions or intentions?" The prince asked, staring at Xuanwu's eyes.

Xuanwu shook his head and said: "The border officials at the border have always been under the surveillance of Shenyiwei. The humble official is clear, whether it is Chi Liandian or Feng Hanxiao, before the Chang Tiangu incident, there was no sign of rebellion. Although Feng Hanxiao The prestige in the Northwest is extremely high, but all the supplies needed by the Northwest Army are provided by the imperial court, and Feng Hanxiao has no right to interfere with the administrative affairs of the Northwest. In addition, in the Northwest Army, there are also many generals who are later saints. Arranged to go in, even if Feng Hanxiao wants to rebel, there is no such condition. What's more, once he really raises troops, Shenyiwei will immediately detect any movement of the Northwest Army...!" After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "His Highness has Unbeknownst to him, the Holy Majesty arranged for Da Xizhang to guard the Xigu Pass, and beside him, there were always two Shenyi school captains mixed in with the final soldiers, but Da Xizhang and the others did not know that these two were from Shenyiwei."

"Oh?"

"There is Shenyiwei's eyeliner in the northwest camp. Once Feng Hanxiao makes any changes in the northwest, as long as there is no order from the court, Feng Hanxiao will send troops without authorization, even if it is only a thousand people. Shenyiwei's eyeliner in the northwest camp is the first Time will release the pigeons, and the pigeons will arrive at Xiguguan at the fastest speed." Xuanwu looked serious, "Once the Shenyiwei of Xiguguan receives the letter from Feixin, they will immediately carry the secret decree from the Holy Majesty. Let Da Xizhang blockade Xigu Pass...!"

The prince was a little surprised and said: "You mean, the emperor was on guard against Feng Hanxiao for a long time, and even placed Shenyi guards in Xigu Pass?"

"Yes, as long as Xiguguan is closed, Feng Hanxiao will be unable to move an inch, and immediately cut off the supply inside the pass." Xuanwu said: "The secret decree has always been on Shenyiwei. If he hesitates, Shen Yiwei has the right to kill him!"

The crown prince nodded slightly, and Xuanwu continued: "So Feng Hanxiao couldn't possibly have had the intention of treason at that time. If he had treasoned at that time, it would have been tantamount to committing suicide...!"

"That doesn't make sense." The crown prince said: "Since Feng Hanxiao did not seek rebellion, why did Xuanyuan Pingzhang order him to be assassinated?" The crown prince said: "Feng Hanxiao was the only general who could restrain the northwest border at that time. In the case of a rebellious heart, would an unauthorized assassination break the arm of the empire? You also said just now that Xuanyuan Pingzhang puts the interests of the empire first in everything, but this matter is harmful to the empire and has no benefit !"

Xuanwu said: "So I feel that there may be something hidden in this, and the Lord Wei Du ordered Feng Hanxiao to be assassinated. I am afraid that there is a big secret hidden in it."

"The capital has fallen, so has the Bailou been destroyed?" The prince asked, "If we want to find the files about Feng Hanxiao, is there any hope? With so many files stored in the Bailou, is there... Is it possible that they fell into the The hands of those thieves?" At this point, the prince's face was full of worry, since the Bailou has the files of the government and the public, the amount of information in it is so large that it can be said that even the deepest secrets of the empire are contained in it, if these secrets All fell into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences were disastrous.

Xuanwu said: "If there is no copy of that file, you can definitely find it in the Bailou. Don't worry, Your Highness, although the Bailou is in the Duke's Mansion, it can be said that it is not in it. It may not be possible to find the Bailou, and... even if they find the Bailou, if they want to enter the Bailou, there is probably no way...!"

"Oh?"

"It is even more impossible for the files of Bailou to fall into their hands." Xuanwu said with certainty, "Even when the most dangerous time comes, Suzaku who guards Bailou will burn all the files, and none of them will be lost. into the hands of the enemy."

"Suzaku?"

Xuanwu said: "Exactly, among the four thousand households in Shenyi, Suzaku is the one guarding the Bailou, and her Zhuqueya is the Bailou."
