Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 343 Bring More Experts

Princess Yongqing said: "That's because the emperor loves me."

Ye Chen said: "On the one hand, His Majesty naturally cherishes His Majesty the Princess. But on the other hand, it is His Majesty's wise foresight and foresight. Think about it, Your Majesty, the son of King Wuyue is so handsome, I don't know how many girls want to marry him. He is a wife, and now I have taken it for you, the world does not know how many jars of jealousy have been overturned. I heard that there are many girls who are good at martial arts, maybe they will come to make things difficult for you. That's why your majesty let more ministers Bring some masters."

Princess Yongqing smiled and said: "You really know how to talk nonsense." She was smiling like a flower at this time, but there were a few bright teardrops hanging on her cheeks, but she no longer had the resistance when she came in just now.

Zhao Kuangyin quickly took the opportunity to say a few words about safety.

Ye Chen left the palace, and when he returned home, Wang Chao, Luo Yaoshun, Cao Wei, Yang Yanjun, and Zhan Xiongwu had been waiting in Ye Mansion for a long time.Just as Ye Chen came to the living room where the four of them lived, Zhan Xiongwu and Yang Yanjun were busy saluting. Luo Yao greeted him by the way, and said first, "Brother Ye, you are going to Wuyue Kingdom in a few days. I'm busy with big things, and I'm afraid I won't have time later. So the five of us discussed it, and today the brothers will do something to give you a farewell party."

Saying this, Luo Yaoshun had already stepped forward, Cao Wei and Wang Chao took Ye Chen's hand and walked out of the mansion.This time, he didn't go to any restaurant or anyone's house, but brought a large group of guards to an exquisite mansion in the east city.Although this house is not as grand as Luo Mansion and Cao Mansion, it is luxuriously furnished with carved buildings and painted beams, flowers, trees, mountains and rocks.

Luo Yaoshun showed off to Ye Chen and said, "Brother Ye, what do you think of this courtyard?" Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's very good, I think it's much more beautiful than my mansion! You really know how to enjoy yourself. This wouldn't be Is it the place where your golden house hides your beauty?"

Luo Yaoshun smiled and did not answer, and invited everyone into the hall.As early as six or seven beautiful maids bowed down early, Luo Yaoshun gave the order, and began to set up the banquet for the banquet.

Luo Yaoshun then smiled and said: "Our brothers are friends who have passed their lives. Come on, let's all drink today. Whoever is not drunk can't let him go back today."

This feast of wine ended happily. Ye Chen was drunk and didn't use his true energy to cure the hangover. Later, he was already drunk and unconscious, and slept directly in Luo Yaoshun's other courtyard. In Tian's arms, there is a naked, sixteen or seventeen-year-old stunning girl.It's just that Ye Chen really can't remember what he did last night, and he feels quite regretful.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen returned to the mansion and first went to see the ghost doctor.His trip to Wuyue must have lasted a long time. After he left, the backbone of the mansion was not Han Ke'er or Ma Gangzi, but the ghost doctor.He had to explain some things to the ghost doctor.What's more, now that Ye Fu has an extra prince, he can't take it lightly.

After seeing the ghost doctor, Ye Chen went to the Huaxia Weifu and called the envoys of the Seventh Department to hold a long meeting, and detailed the main tasks and matters to be noticed of each department in the next part.In the end, Ye Chen kept the three most important envoys, Bai Canghai, Li Junhao and Xu Fangyi.

"When I'm not in the capital, the King Jin's mansion must be watched to death. In addition to King Jin, Mr. Chen, Xuesha, and King Jin's housekeeper will be stared at for twelve hours. As long as you leave the palace, You must never leave the sight of our Huaxia Weifu. In addition, as long as Wang Jien, the chief eunuch in the palace, sneaks out of the palace to meet King Jin, he will be killed directly." Ye Chen said solemnly.

Bai Canghai, Li Junhao, Xu Fangyi and other envoys of the Huaxia Weifu had always been puzzled as to why Ye Chen was so wary of King Jin Zhao Guangyi, but they knew there must be something they didn't know, such as something related to that chair.

It's just that today's son has always been in good health, no matter how he looks at it, if there is no accident, there will be no problem in being the emperor for more than ten years.

Does King Jin really dare to rebel?However, judging from the information currently available to the Huaxia Weifu, although Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi has built a network in the court over the years, at some point he has a huge force that can influence the government. For example, Tao Gu was promoted a few days ago. It is the result of Zhao Guangyi launching this net to become an official of the Hanlin Academy.

Even now Zhao Guangyi's power in the imperial court has faintly surpassed Prime Minister Zhao Pu, but Bai Canghai, Li Junhao and Xu Fangyi still don't think that Zhao Guangyi has the ability to rebel, because the army is always firmly in the hands of today's emperor.

The thoughts of the three envoys turned, and they suddenly remembered that the chief envoy had just mentioned the chief eunuch in the palace, Wang Jien, His Majesty's confidant, and couldn't help but tremble. They looked at each other, and vaguely guessed what the chief envoy might have been worried about.

Ye Chen looked at the three of them and knew that he could no longer hide some things from these three confidantes, otherwise he would leave Kaifeng. If Zhao Guangyi really did it in advance, Li Junhao, Bai Canghai and Xu Fangyi did not know some things, and the result would be Huaxia Wei. It is not good if the government fails to respond correctly in time.

Ye Chen glanced at the three of them, and with a wave of his right hand, except for the black cavalry, several Huaxia guards standing at the door retreated far away.

When the three of them saw this, their hearts skipped a beat, knowing that what the chief envoy would say next would definitely be earth-shattering.

Ye Chen then said in a solemn and dignified voice: "The King of Jin, Zhao Guangyi, should have secretly colluded with the Holy Hall, and he is likely to assassinate His Majesty, and then control the palace without alarming the military, and the King of Jin will directly sit in that position." Although the eldest son of the emperor, King Wei, has the support of Zhao Pu, his prestige in the court and the army is too low. Even if we add our Huaxia Weifu, after King Jin has already sat in that chair and controlled the palace, it is not enough to turn over , and everyone will die miserably. Because in the eyes of the military, there is no difference between the king of Jin and the king of Wei. Even because the latter's ability is far inferior to that of the king of Jin, they hope that the king of Jin Zhao Guangyi will be the emperor. Emperor. As for my new student, he is too young, and his wings have just begun to grow. Even with the full support of our Huaxia Weifu, it is difficult to get the military's approval. Of course, there is another important reason, the military Fang and most of the ministers did not want the great situation of the Song Dynasty to be destroyed, so if King Jin assassinated His Majesty quietly, picked himself up cleanly, and ascended the throne, not many people in the court would be willing to stand up against it of."

Bai Canghai, Li Junhao, and Xu Fangyi were shocked by Ye Chen's words and remained silent for a long time, but soon they thought of a question from their own or the Huaxia Weifu's point of view, and their expressions became serious.

For a long time, although the chief envoy had never had a direct confrontation with Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi, the accumulated conflicts between the two, especially the friendship between the chief envoy and the eldest son of the emperor Wei Wang, and now he is the teacher of the little prince.When Zhao Guangyi becomes the emperor, he will definitely kill the chief envoy.Not to mention how loyal the three of them are to the chief envoy, as long as the chief envoy dies, there will definitely be a big cleansing in the Huaxia Weifu.It is conceivable that Zhao Guangyi will definitely send tens of thousands of forbidden troops to besiege the Huaxia Weifu, and then mercilessly kill the confidantes of the chief envoy one by one.

There is no need for Ye Chen to continue to order anything, and there is no need to mobilize the three envoys who hold the greatest power in the Huaxia Weifu. The three already know what to do during the days when Ye Chen is away.

Next, within three days, Ye Chen carefully taught the little prince Zhao Defang's homework, and then took the latter to Huaxia Weifu to study for two days, and then sent him to Yefu.

During this period, Ye Chen conveyed an order to Zhou Jie, the leader of the Cao Gang, and Qian Ning, the head of the Kaifeng Grain and Rice Company, through an extremely obscure channel.

Before that, the Wuyue Kingdom Mission and the Southern Tang Mission had left Kaifeng successively and embarked on the road to return home.As a matter of fact, several major events that happened in Kaifeng City these days have already been sent to the domestic rulers by their respective missions as quickly as possible.

Ye Chen knew that the Lord of Wuyue may have always wanted to be tied to the Song Dynasty, but there must be problems in the court of Wuyue Kingdom, so he could not delay his trip to Wuyue Kingdom. Hangzhou is much closer. Ye Chen guessed that Nantang must have secretly sent eloquent people to Hangzhou these days, met the Lord Wuyue in secret, and planned to form an alliance against the Song Dynasty in secret.

Before leaving, Ye Chen focused on one more thing - the departments and departments of Huaxia Weifu compiled training materials and regulations according to their duties, and conducted intensive training for those who did not have any missions, and conducted assessment and acceptance when he came back. .This is mainly aimed at the three divisions of intelligence, assassination, and surveillance.

Five days later, when everything was ready for the court, Ye Chen led a large team southward.

In addition to Ye Chen, the envoy who is also the envoy who bestows marriage, there is naturally a deputy envoy who handles many etiquette and miscellaneous matters.

The deputy envoy was named Zhang Qingming, and he was the envoy of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of diplomatic affairs. Except for road safety issues, Ye Chen's other miscellaneous matters were quickly and swiftly handed over to Zhang Qingming.

The river is surging, and a group of wild geese pass by the vast sky.On the plains on both sides of the river, the crops have begun to mature, and the hard-working farmers with their sun-tanned backs are waving sickles in the field, and beads of sweat are falling on the fertile land one by one.

As the breeze blew by, there were bursts of unrestrained singing on the surface of the river covered with white waves. The fisherman laughed and threw the net into the water.

The Grand Canal reaches the capital in the north and Hangzhou in the south. However, because of the uncertain flow of the river along the way, this Grand Canal does not run straight from north to south, but a navigational water system that connects rivers in various places.

A clipper sloop with a red-painted hull was sailing upstream at great speed.This is a post boat, which can carry about [-] people, and has a cargo compartment for carrying important items.This kind of post boat uses sails with the wind and paddles with the wind. There are eight to twelve long oars on board, and it is commonly known as centipede speedboat among the people.

Whenever there are fishing boats and merchant ships on the water, when they see this red speedboat, they will quickly avoid it.According to the rules of the Song court, when sailing on the canal, any ship that encounters a fast boat must avoid and give way.
