Xianggui

The candlelight was dim, and the three people sat around the table and whispered.

Dong Yi said, "Xiangxiang should have heard about it. The emperor was angry at the Fujian army's inability to fight against the Japanese and wanted to replace the navy commander. General Xu and General Wang both asked for orders. The emperor asked me if I would like to be the deputy commander...I She said she was in poor health and declined."

Xunxiang knew that the emperor did not really want to use Dong Yihe, so asking him like this was mostly a test.

Dong Yihe is definitely the best candidate to fight against Japanese invaders, and the emperor also knows it. But the emperor was afraid that he would have resentment towards the royal family and kept on guard against him.

Not to mention the commander-in-chief, even the deputy commander-in-chief didn't give it to him sincerely. Of course Dong Yihe didn't dare to accept it.

Xun Xiang said, "During the few days in the palace, the imperial grandfather went to Kunning Palace twice and mentioned my uncle twice. He said that my uncle was brave and good at fighting, and he was the best navy general in the Li Dynasty at present... I did not express my position. .”

The emperor mentioned Dong Yihe in front of Xunxiang because he wanted to hear Xunxiang's opinion of Dong Yihe.

The emperor was very suspicious, and Xun Xiang did not dare to say a good word to Dong Yihe.

One was that she gave the emperor the impression that she didn't care about court affairs, and the other was that she was afraid that the emperor would think Dong Yihe had selfish motives and trick her into saying that.

Dong Yihe said, "If the Holy One believes in me, I will definitely beat the Japanese pirates so that they will not dare to attack again. This is not only for Ping'er to have a better life in the future, but also for myself. But, hum..."

He clenched his hands on the table into fists and sneered twice.

Xunxiang asked what had been lingering in her mind, "The Japanese invasion in eastern Fujian suddenly intensified last year. It's not just robbery, right?"

Dong Yihe nodded, "Since the second half of last year, Japanese pirates suddenly came to eastern Fujian to harass people on a large scale. They must have another purpose... There have always been my spies there. Not only the smugglers of the Li Dynasty colluded with the Japanese pirates, but also Officials secretly colluded with Japanese pirates.

"I recently received another secret report. The large-scale Japanese pirates who came ashore to rob and kill people in September last year were deliberately allowed by Qin Jin. Shen Mou also seems to have colluded with the Japanese pirates, but there is no definite evidence."

Qin Jin is the fourth brother of Concubine Qin and the fourth uncle of King Ji.

Shen Mou is the second brother of Shen's consort.

Dong Yihe had previously found out that some officials in Dali were colluding with Japanese pirates, but he only found a few small gangsters and no big fish. It was Han Qi who sent someone at the beginning of winter last year to deliver important news. Not only were high-ranking officials in Dali colluding with the Japanese pirates, but a clan member of the Goryeo Kingdom was also colluding with the Japanese pirates.

The officials of Dali were Qin Jin and Shen Mou, and the clan name of Goryeo was Li Xi.

Concubine Li's brother's name is Li Xi. Their grandfather and Xiao Min's grandfather are brothers of the grandfather of the current Emperor of Goryeo.

At first, Xiao Min's grandfather stood up for the current emperor's grandfather, but later the family was re-employed and became rich until old age. Li Xi's grandfather failed in his bid for the throne and was exiled, and Li Xi and Li Fei's siblings also followed.

It was Xiao Min's father who took pity on Concubine Li for suffering at the seaside and took her in. Who would have thought that she was so cruel that she killed sister Xiao Min and tried to get married...

Dong Yihe always believed that Concubine Li would marry Dali at all costs, not only for her to have a better marriage, but also for other purposes.

Many years ago, Dong Yihe began to send people to secretly investigate Concubine Li and King Qi. Except for their close relationship with a few clans, they kept a distance from all officials and Korean merchants.

Among the several sects, the one with the closest relationship to Dongyang Princess Mansion and Xiyang Princess Mansion. The main reason is that Prince Consort Xun and Prince Consort Shen are both literati and have common interests with King Qi.

Later, because of Xiangxiang, the relationship between the two houses became more distant than before...

After receiving the secret report from Han Qi, Dong Yihe connected the clues one by one and the context became clear. He concluded that Concubine Li, King Qi and Li Xi had always been in contact.

As long as King Qi becomes the emperor of Dali, he can help Li Xi seize the throne. In order to achieve their goals, they also colluded with Japanese pirates...

Concubine Li had no maternal family or relatives. Apart from the emperor, she had no relatives in the Li Dynasty. Even if the King of Qi marries a daughter-in-law, because of Concubine Li's relationship, the Jinwu Guards will pay attention to whether King Qi's Yue family has contacts with Goryeo.

Then, Li Fei must have bribed someone in the palace to contact someone outside the palace and then sent her overseas. Or Li Xi tried to find a way to get in touch with Concubine Li through Goryeo businessmen.

Dong Yihe suspected that the people they had bribed were Princess Xiyang and Prince Consort Shen, who had secretly occupied King Qi.

But this is just suspicion.

After receiving the news, he immediately sent people to Fujian to contact Han Qi's people, and used Qin Jin's criminal evidence to force Qin Jin to investigate Shen Mou. People with shit on their butts will pay more attention to whether other officials have shit, and use them to control them at critical times.

Even if Qin and Jin had no evidence of Shen Mou's crimes, they would still disrupt the Fujian officialdom...

Dong Yihe also wanted to fight against the Japanese in eastern Fujian. Not only can they disappear with a better excuse, but they will also find ways to find evidence and inform Emperor Qingguan and the Emperor of Korea of ​​their plot...

Xunxiang was stunned. Qin Jin colluded with the Japanese pirates, and Dong Yihe's people got the handle.

King Ji is now the most popular candidate for the crown prince. If this matter comes out at this time, King Ji will definitely be implicated. Prince Kang was already despised by the emperor, and if he tried to find a way to fight the seventh prince, the only sons left by the emperor would be Prince Duan, Prince Qi and the eighth prince who was about to die of illness.

The emperor did not dare to hand over the country to the utterly confused Prince Duan. If the eighth prince could not survive, he would have no choice but to hand it over to Prince Qi.

Thinking again of Sun Yumu's father being assassinated, the Sun family's suspicion of the Shen family...

Xunxiang guessed that Qin Jin would not be the most important person in the war, but a chess piece. It's possible that he was indeed a Japanese communicator, or that he was lured into doing something, or that he was simply unjustly accused.

The Shen family were the ones who really knew the Japanese, and they were working for the King of Qi.

Xun Xiang said, "I'm sure that the affair between Qin and Jin will come out soon. The person behind the scenes should be Shen Mou. His goal is not Qin and Jin, but the King Ji behind Qin and Jin. Lord Sun has long suspected Shen. He is plotting evil and believes that Lord Sun’s violent death is related to him.”

Dong Yihe's expression became more solemn.

Sun Linzhang was resourceful and the Sun family was powerful, so it was not easy for Shen to murder him. Unless Da Po Tian was caught, he would never dare to take that risky move. It's a pity that such a good man, Sun Linzhang, died young...

Dong Yihe was completely certain that Prince Consort Shen was the messenger between King Qi and Shen Mou, and Shen Mou was working for King Qi.

King Qi, Li Xi, and Japanese pirates have already colluded together.

The Japanese pirates harassed the east of Fujian wantonly, and if they exposed the issue of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, King Ji would be finished. The seventh prince who has not grown up is vulnerable, Prince Duan is a fool, and the only one the emperor can use is Prince Qi.

The King of Qi plots the world of Li, Li Xi plots the world of Goryeo, and the Japanese pirates plot the long-coveted Liuqiu Island...

Dong Yihe looked at Xunxiang, his face was still childish, and his figure was not fully grown, but he was so smart.

The descendants of the Han family depend on her for protection, how can she be so simple?
