Chapter 30

The warm wind under the north window, with the fragrance of leaves and plants, brushed over Tizhen's face. She paused with her pen and drew the last tuft of feathers of the goshawk, and pressed it on the painting table with a ruler.

Yang Zuo took a cup of herbal tea and handed it over, "The weather is dry recently, sister, drink some chrysanthemum licorice tea to defeat the fire."

Ti Zhen hummed, took a sip, "It's bitter, but a good medicine is a good medicine only if it tastes bitter." As she spoke, she took a few more sips.

Yang Zuo rubbed his hands with a smile, "Who said, I have a good medicine that is not bitter, and I am sure my sister will enjoy it."

"Oh?"

Yang Zuo raised his eyebrows, took out a square pocket red lacquered wooden box from behind, unlocked the lock, and popped out stacks of white bills, "This is the currency list of the Jiaodong Salt Gang sent by Cao Er just now. It records the date and tonnage of salt purchased by Luoyang Shisanfang, as well as the route of transportation into Luoyang."

His expression gradually became serious, "As for the Salt Gang, it has been controlled by the people in Huai'an, and it will operate as usual, absolutely silently."

With the chill between the lines, Tizhen slowly turned his eyes darkly, and carefully considered the next step.Before he could speak, he was preempted by Yang Zuo, "Since that's the case, sister, let's hand in these lists, which happens to bring Luoyang to the fore."

Ti Zhen shook her head with a smile, "If the Yamen asks you where the order came from? Do you say you stole it or robbed it? If those people from the Yan Gang turn their backs and deny it, then just say no." I understand. Not only can I not justify my time, but I will also be accused of being a robber and false accusation."

The light outside the window was dimly lit, coating Tizhen's jade face with a gentle outline, and her behavior was elegant and calm, "So in addition to the bills, you also need evidence. You have to know where Liang Shi hid the salt."

She turned her head and ordered, "Check the strongholds of the salt transportation route, and the shops along the road, not only the Liang family, but also other families. This time we want to capture the king Ling Xiaowang."

Central Zuo agreed.The sound of footsteps outside came up the steps slowly, and the brocade curtain was beaten with a sleeve, and Wenxiu walked in slowly, and put the white jade square cake on the small case.

She glanced at Tizhen's painting, and smiled just right, "Now that Que Ming has killed Que Zhun and become the new owner of the Que Clan, he has sent the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom to Chang'an Weiyang Palace. What do you think?"

Tizhen sneered, and a few scattered silk flowers in her hair gleamed in the dim light, "In the name of negotiating peace, it is more than clever to implement a policy of separation, but it is negligent."

He squinted his eyes as if to point out, "Otherwise, how could the secret delivery of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom become a well-known gossip? If something is unfair, resentment will inevitably arise, and the word 'benefit' is the word 'profit'. The emperor's game... is considered a legacy."

She poked some warm pear fragrance with a small silver spoon and added it to the lotus-patterned orb-patterned incense burner, and slowly sniffed, "I was afraid that Wen Yu would not be able to take one corner and get three corners, so it can be seen that I was overthinking this time. He is a prince, ambitious and thoughtful." He turned his head and ordered, "Since it has been passed on, then spread it a little bit more, and ask the brothers in Fangzhong to help."

Wenxiu nodded, "So the girl can feel at ease."

"Anxin?" Tizhen's eyes are like clear and quiet lake water, without a trace of stirring, "It's still early. It's not easy to completely separate the comrades who once fought side by side and control the situation. It's too early to be happy now. gone."

In the morning of this day, the sky was still as clear as a pool of still water, the shadow of the sun was like gold, and the thousands of willow trees were green.

Wen Yu scooped up water and slowly watered a cluster of new branches, nourishing everything from the root to the leaves. Day after day, it seemed that he had nothing to do except grow flowers.

But the more demeanor there is, the more turbulent the tide is, but he can still sit still, Guan Tong has long been a little annoyed, "Since Qi Hao ordered Qi Guangbao to lead [-] troops to slaughter Pingyang City three days ago, there has been no trust since then. But if he can make a movement, it proves that he has heard the news of Chuanguo Yuxi, so why don't he reprimand the emperor."

"It doesn't take a day to freeze three feet, and it doesn't take a day to catalyze stubborn ice. However, dikes of thousands of miles often collapse in ant nests. Today, the land collapses and mountains are destroyed. It's nothing more than the cave not being big enough."

Wen Yu looked at him reassuringly, "They can withstand one temptation, but they may not be able to withstand repeated temptations."

"But there must be a reaction to this. You can't just keep silent after taking over Pingyang City, and you have to give the emperor something to say."

Guan Tong pursed his lips.

"No matter how bad it is, the Que family was stabbed in Pingyang's lair by Qi Hao, and they even knew that their family fled to Chang'an. Relying on the oath of the peace talks not long ago, they sought asylum. Adjutant Xie has already gone to the front to meet him, and he will arrive tonight."

Que Ming killed Que Zhun and became the new lord of the Que Clan. Now Qi Hao captured his old lair and fled to Chang'an with his family, hoping to enjoy real peace here with the emperor who had killed his mother.

Sounds like a dream.

Wen Yu's hand movements stopped suddenly, and he let out a smile, "Although Que Zhun is shameless, he has a backbone. Que Ming doesn't even have a bone to support his body, so he has no vision."

At the end of the day, his brows and eyes gradually turned cold, "I'm afraid that Qi Hao can bear it too much, and we will end up in an anticlimactic defeat."

It was quiet all around, with the smell of peonies in the nostrils, but this natural tranquility was quickly broken abruptly.

Li Guang hastened his pace with his whisk on his shoulders, trotted over in a hurry as soon as he stepped through the door, panting, "His Majesty's order, please invite King Jiyin to go to Xuanshi Hall to accompany the banquet."

He stopped and frowned slightly, "Why so suddenly?"

Li Guang snorted, and frowned directly, "King Xiang sent an envoy to come suddenly, it's not because we were prepared to do so suddenly, King Linhai only got the letter, so hurry up."

Wen Yu's mind turned slowly and came without notification, which was obviously a slap in the face of the emperor.But I don't know how many waves can be stirred up by today's outbreak.

He immediately changed his clothes and hurried to Xuanshi Hall.

Now Huyanyan, Nanyang Wang, Kong Sheng and other generals are all on the front line, among the four kings, except Yongan Wang who is young and does not need to attend the banquet, only he and Linhai Wang are present, the rest are nothing more than humerus veterans and cronies.These people get together, invite songs to wine, and numbly appreciate the performance of singing and dancing, but no matter how good the singing and dancing is, they can't beat the treacherous crowds of people.

Wen Yu didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and the emperor on the high platform didn't even have the heart to appreciate it. It was extremely embarrassing to get some benefits in private and hide them in such a big way.

Now the most leisurely enjoyment is probably the only one left to envoy King Xiang.

They stood on the highest point of morality and looked at each other with a smile, just like the Zhongshan King who looked at him as an ant from the high platform that day, there was a bit of irony from time to time.

Guan Tong was on the side, looking across, "His Royal Highness, look at the two tables on the lower left of the imperial platform. The one in front is the envoy Ning Xiu, and the one behind is the deputy envoy Pang Tong." His voice became softer, "I heard he The two don't get along very well."

Wen Yu glanced at it, his eyes fixed, but Er Er, the singing and dancing had all ended, and the scene fell into an endless silence, which was embarrassing and gray.

Taishi Xun held up the wine cup, raised his chin slightly, and looked quite proud, "This is Bozhou's new Jiuyun spring wine. It is brewed once every three days, and it is only full of nine dendrobium rice. It is mellow and rich, and it is the most pleasant. The place is remote, it is difficult to find good wine, please drink more."

Ning Xiu didn't know about this banter, and besides, Grand Master Xun was the brother of Empress Xun and the uncle of the King of Linhai.

"Although our Jie family was recruited by Emperor Gaozu, we were able to be appointed officials and nobles to guard Yanjing, but no matter how smooth the wind in the Central Plains, the fierceness from the northeast wind is still there. When it comes to wine, drinking is the most spicy and delicious. " Ning Xiu's gaze slowly condensed into a sharp light, "Please don't blame your majesty, the smell of this wine is indeed too superficial and contemptuous."

These words were already very blatant, using the taste of wine to insinuate the emperor's unannounced act of embezzling the imperial jade seal, implying that he is superficial and contemptuous.

On the contrary, such deep silence is even more terrifying.
