After the crowds and excitement dispersed, it was already under the willow trees under the moonlight. Wen Yu leaned quietly next to the small cradle, gently stroking the soft flesh with his palms, and stared at an inexplicable place with his eyes.

Ti Zhen took the bird's nest and took a sip, then said softly: "I just saw that you were hesitant to speak. Do you have something to say?"

He frowned, "I was just wondering, if what happened in the past started with Sun Pingye, could..."

Before he could finish speaking, "No" fell briskly from Ti Zhen's mouth. She understood his intention and specially explained: "After so many years, I can no longer explain clearly, even if I drag Sun Ping to Han." Han Ying won’t believe him if he pleads guilty in front of Ying.”

After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then became a little firmer, "Now that's the case, it makes sense."

"Understand what?"

He said: "Kong Sheng holds the Hussars, and Guo Xiuzhi, the leader of the Forbidden Army, is considered to be on good terms with the palace. It is not difficult to persuade him to come to our side. There are also some private soldiers in Luoyang. A handwritten letter from my uncle can suffice." Everything is available, if..."

He adjusted his slightly rapid breathing, stood up and said in a manly voice: "I'm [-]% sure, at worst it will be completely reversed! It's better to fight to the death than to sit back and wait for death."

Ti Zhen pursed his lips and smiled: "It is indeed not difficult to capture the imperial city with just one order, but if you seek power and usurp the throne, you will be criticized by future generations."

"More...I always feel that when Han Ying returns to Beijing, he swears everything he does, but I'm afraid it's not simple behind the scenes."

Wen Yu put his right hand under his collar and thought slowly.

She continued: "Zhao Jinshu's death was publicized as a sudden death due to acute illness and suicide. It was a secret of the royal family. How could Han Ying know so easily and even instigate Hu Julan to assassinate me?"

"Hu Julan is not imprudent, not to mention that she has suffered a secret loss once, and she will not trust others easily. How can she believe what a stranger tells her?"

Wen Yu was slightly surprised, and a very scary thought came into his mind, "Do you suspect... that Lixin is actually in Han Ying's hands?"

Ti Zhen closed his eyes and said silently, "It's not impossible. Li Xin and Zhao Jinshu are both tea supervisors. They are the closest to each other. I think Hu Julan can detect it. It can be seen that there are many tricks in this. You must not do it. It’s such a rash move.”

She said that she pinched herself, "Now the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. If we really make a wrong move, we will all be doomed."

Wen Yu pinched his hand slightly. He felt that it was not a pity to die, but he felt very reluctant to let go of his immature daughter.

For a long time, he only said: "If the worst is true, you should take Ling Yue back to Wusun first. If I can take the imperial city directly and stabilize the situation, I will send a message to pick you back. If not... Wusun too A place to live and settle down.”

He saw things so clearly and the stakes were closely related. How could the ministers who had been living in the court for several years not understand that the situation was pressing, not to mention that once Han Ying was exposed, every case would be a capital crime.

It's rare to see his expression so solemn.

Ti Zhen couldn't help but tenderly leaned down and pressed against his back, "What? Do you want to say goodbye to me for life and death? But you are not playing into Han Ying's plans by doing this?"

His body shook slightly, so slightly that it would be almost unnoticeable if they were not tightly connected.

He looked up to the sky and sighed: "What I, the King of Qin, did, I am afraid I am the most cowardly among all the kings of Qin in history... I know who is causing trouble, but I can't kill him quickly, and I have to be forced to do nothing."

Ti Zhen still comforted her gently, "Wasn't it the same when Empress Lu faced the coercion of Madam Qi? It was impossible to kill her, it was impossible to negotiate peace, and it was even more impossible to lead Liu Ying to rebel, but in the end... Liu Ying's crown prince Isn’t the position still being abolished?”

Touching his shoulder blades, he said softly: "Do you still remember the four gentlemen who founded Pingyang Academy back then?"

His voice sounded like he was tracing back to his past, "Yingshan Sihao?!" Yingshan Sihao was originally a famous scholar in the previous dynasty. Later, because he was dissatisfied with the tyrant's rule, he lived in seclusion in Yingshan until the founding of his father in the early Wei Dynasty. After being introduced personally, he entered the court and took a temporary post, established Pingyang Academy, and began to cultivate talents for the court.

Unfortunately, nothing happened in the Pingyang coup, and even Pingyang University was burned down. Before the Que family could be arrested, they had already disappeared, and they were probably buried in the flames.

If he were not dead, I am afraid that even the emperor would personally come down from the mountain to pay homage to such a wise man.

Ti Zhen answered calmly, "Actually, your prestige is almost full now. You have the support of Zhu Ji and Hu Yanyan, the veterans who founded the country, the protection of Kong Sheng's cavalry, and the financial support of the Anyang Shi family, but... there is only one shortcoming It’s just a little opportunity.”

"If Yingshan Sihao can stand by you without any room, just like how Empress Lu personally asked the four heroes of Shangshan to assist Liu Ying in the past. Let the emperor also realize that your wings have been established and your status cannot be shaken, then you can't use the same weapon as the rat. , the emperor will naturally not shake the foundation of the imperial court because of the identity of the Anyang Shi family."

She held his hand tightly with both hands, steadying her expression and tone, speaking softly but firmly.

"King Yong'an is still young. In order for his son to successfully succeed to the throne, the emperor will be afraid of your power. How could he involve the Shi family and shake his son's throne and the foundation of the Wei Dynasty?"

He was so shocked that he accidentally knocked down the tea cup in his hand.There was only a "clang" sound and it fell to pieces.

"But isn't Yingshan Sihao dead? Even if they are not dead, how can we know their traces?"

Ti Zhen immediately stood up and raised his voice: "I have sent people to investigate and found out that An Cuishan, the governor of Luoyang Prefecture who took in Shen Wangshu in the past, was once a disciple of Mr. Zhang Maorong, one of the four masters of Yingshan. If so, it is clear. ——Shen Wangshu is also a disciple of Mr. Zhang Maorong.”

"If this is the case, one can imagine why Shen Wangshu was successfully rescued by Kong Sheng after the Pingyang coup that year and received the care of An Cuishan, the governor of Luoyang Prefecture."

Looking straight at him intently, he said clearly word for word: "I think An Cuishan should be aware of Yingshan Sihao's traces."

Wen Yu suddenly understood.If you blindly want to prevent Han Ying from reporting, it is tantamount to stoking the boiling water. If you want to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, you can only think about what the enemy cannot think about.

If they could gain access to An Cuishan's connections and invite Yingshan Sihao to come forward, even if their crimes were too hard to write down in front of the emperor, the emperor would have no choice but to break his teeth and swallow them.

There was joy on his face, and he held her arm even harder, "That's right. The scenery in Luoyang is the best in spring, and it won't be very pleasant for us to stay in Luoyang for a while."

At this point, Ti Zhen was in a dilemma, "Han Ying is very reluctant to put a needle in my body now, even if I want to leave Beijing, I can't."

Wen Yu nodded slightly, holding the thumb-sized tourmaline rosary in his hand, "Then I'll think of an excuse to go there myself."

He sighed, "If I had known this, I would have just asked my father-in-law and Zhou Jieyi to stay for a while. They have a deep connection with Pingyang Academy, so they must know something about it."

Ti Zhen shook his head with a smile, "I always suspect everyone with the worst thoughts. Han Ying knows the royal palace thoroughly, which makes people's hair stand on end. They are trustworthy, but it does not mean that the servants and maids around them are also trustworthy, so they are more The more we know, the more danger we will have.”

Her lips were the faded red color of late spring, with a light crimson color, and she was very calm. "This is the last trump card I have against Han Ying."

The word "finally" was difficult to say from her mouth, probably because they were classmates in the same school and knew each other very well, so every plan was extremely difficult.

But compared to whether Wen Yu could win the trust of Yingshan Sihao and make the plan go smoothly, she was more worried about——

"It's just that Han Ying is very smart. If he wants to find an excuse to send you out of Beijing, he must not act rashly."
