Chapter 171
The imperial power, the aristocratic family and the Marquis' Mansion are three pillars.The imperial power is controlled by the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family is also controlled by the Houfu, so Yanyang has been calm for decades.

The undercurrent is surging, all hidden behind the calm.

Xie Jue asked, "What if the royal family joins the family?"

"How is it possible!" Zhenbeihou laughed, "Unless he is crazy."

"Okay!" Xie Jue said lightly, [-] cavalry were stationed in the city, and he sent his shadow guards to monitor Gaoping and Guli, so he was too lazy to talk to his father.

Since the crown prince has colluded with Beiman, doesn't he have the ambition to sharpen his sword to the Marquis' mansion?
But the Hou's Mansion is self-respecting, and there are generals in the south of the Yangtze River. His father has no arbitrariness, and the prince can't find the wrong place of the Hou's Mansion.

He wanted to mobilize troops from the border, but without Zhenbei Hou's nod, neither he nor Xie Zhang could mobilize the troops. I hope he thought too much.

In addition to managing the money of the Marquis Mansion, Xie Jue also set up an intelligence team to stay in the capital to collect information on the aristocratic family and the royal family.One is to protect my sister, and the other is to collect intelligence in the palace.Xie Jue knew that if the Marquis of Zhenbei knew that he had placed spies in the palace, he would be furious, and Xie Jue would not report it.

After Xie Jue returned to Beijing, he obtained information from Emperor Jianming and the East Palace, and when he knew that the Crown Prince had ordered Feng Yu to be killed, he felt uneasy. He had no reason to kill Feng Yu!

He has always been insightful, doubting a person will do his best to investigate a person.

Tonight's night tour, Dugu Jing sent people to assassinate, and Lin Sheng's appearance at the right time must be planned by the East Palace.

The three brothers came out of the study room in the main courtyard, the sky was already turning white, Xie Jue almost stayed up all night, and he was about to enter the palace for peace talks again, Xie Zhang patted him on the shoulder distressedly.

"Listen, my father is right. We and the royal family can't go that far." Xie Zhang said softly, "Father wants to implement a new policy, and the imperial family will only unite us to fight against the family. After the new policy is implemented, we will return to Ningzhou .”

"Okay!" Xie Jue thought, the prince might want to sharpen his sword to the Houfu, but he really has no bargaining chips, unless he doesn't even want the throne anymore.

He looked at Xie Xun who was sighing at Mochizuki, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"What's wrong?" Xie Xun raised his eyebrows.

"Your second brother is asking, why didn't you stand still when your father kicked you?" Xie Zhang chuckled, "Does it hurt?"

"I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it doesn't hurt at all." Xie Xun suddenly changed his face, "It's broken!"

It was the third girl who was in pain, she would definitely find him bad luck if she was so vengeful, Xie Xun rubbed the space between his brows, he really couldn't blame him.

The father and son had already talked for a round, but who knew that they were dragged up to the study to talk about something in the middle of the night, because Xie Jue's investigation found that the prince and Beiman seemed to be in collusion.

Xie Xun was so angry!

The collusion between the royal family and the northern barbarians is definitely a slap in the face for this group of generals who are on the bloody battlefield and guarding the frontier.

However, Zhenbeihou felt that Xie Jue was suspicious, so Xie Xun quarreled with Lord Hou, said a lot of outrageous things, and forgot the time.

Unexpectedly, when Master Hou kicked him, the third girl happened to come over.

Xie Zhang and Xie Jue looked at the young master's cowardly expression for fear of offending others, Xie Zhang said, "I know...why is it so weird?"

Xie Jue hummed, also feeling strange, the two went back to the hospital together, Xie Zhang endured it, and asked tentatively, "Chuning is in your room?"

"Ah."

"Where does he sleep?" Xie Zhang remembered that in the second younger brother's courtyard, only the main courtyard could sleep, and the guest rooms were full of books, and there was only a warm couch, so he couldn't sleep well.

"Bed."

Xie Zhang thought to himself, but the answer was irrelevant. He chuckled and said, "You and Chuning are both grown up and cannot share the same bed."

"Didn't sleep."

Xie Zhang, "..."

Xie Zhang thought to himself that after returning to the hospital to wash and eat, he should go to bed early, and indeed he did not share the same couch.What Xie Zhang wanted to say was to make him and Fang Chuning pay attention to their words and deeds in Beijing.Beijing and China are no different than the border. I am afraid of gossip. After all, they are not biological brothers, and being too close will attract criticism.

But seeing Xie Jue's expression, he didn't realize that there was something wrong with him, so Xie Zhang had no choice but to give up, forget it, anyway, they often slept together in Ningzhou.

After being kicked, Feng Yu returned to her body, still feeling pain in her bones. It was clear that she didn't have any scars on her body, but she couldn't forget the severe pain at that moment.

Does the little Hou Ye often get kicked by the Hou Ye?
Zhang Boxing beat his father and almost went to jail, while Master Hou beat his son with a ruthless heart. Sure enough, his son could beat him at will.

Qiuxiang and Chunlu were confused when they saw her come back, "Girl, aren't you going to practice sword today?"

Thinking of Master Hou's few words, Feng Yu shook her head, fearing that something important would happen in the Hou's mansion tonight, Xie Xun didn't have time to inform her, and she got kicked.

She was very angry at first, but thinking that Xie Xun might be often taught by Lord Hou, she decided to forgive him magnanimously.Feng Yu has something on her mind, she really can't sleep well, playing the flute disturbs her sleep, she has nothing to do and sits under the window to deal with the accounts of Twelve States.She planned to go to the Twelve States after her sister got married.

If there is a truce in Ningzhou, it would be great if the trade routes between Northwest and Sangnan can be opened up. Sangnan has developed animal husbandry and agriculture, but the mining industry is scarce.Yanyang strictly forbids mining to Sangnan, smuggling iron ore is like treason, but Fengyu thinks that she can barter for Sangnan's crop seeds.The agricultural development of Yanyang is far inferior to that of Sangnan.

Speaking of iron ore, Beiman has a special ore called red sand ore.Solid as a rock, but also invincible, which is why the Beiman can be invincible on the battlefield.There is also this kind of ore at the junction of Ningzhou and Beiman, which has been exhausted over the years.

Only one-third of the cavalry in Zhenbei can be equipped with red gauze armor. In addition to the red gauze armor for the whole army, the northern barbarians also have spears, scimitars, and spears refined from red sand ore.Their spears can penetrate the armor of war horses and the armor of ordinary cavalry, which can defend and attack, so Yanyang suffered heavy casualties in every battle where the northern barbarians fought with all their strength.

The red placer mine will definitely be the condition of the Yanyang peace talks.

But will the Northern Man give it?

No one expected that the peace talks between Beiman and Yanyang would collapse on the first day.

Yanyang's first line is to ask for red placer mines.

Beiman was the first to take Xie Jue's life.

The two sides did not hide the knife in a smile, nor did they pretend to be false, and they hit the nail on the head.Next to Dugu Jing were Beiman's military adviser Slante, priest Jintu, and two Beiman's generals.

When meeting with Emperor Jianming, Dugujing said that Xie Jue had killed the northern barbarian soldiers before the peace talks, and that the peace talks could only continue if Emperor Jianming paid in blood.

There was an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Firstly, the northern barbarians were so bold that they dared to propose to kill the second son of the Marquis Mansion.Second, the Second Young Master was also daring to execute the Northern Man generals on the eve of the peace talks.

Zhenbeihou stood in the first row of military officers. If the Beiman king came, Zhenbeihou would directly attack him, but it was a pity that it was the Ninth Prince.It would be demeaning to argue with the juniors, so Zhenbeihou didn't intend to say a word.

"Why did Xie Jue kill the northern barbarian general on the eve of the peace talks?" Emperor Jianming asked.
