chapter 8
Ignoring the meaning in You Liang's words, Yan Yun could endure the fatigue and survive the morning.
Above the court, people from all sides were quarreling with each other. After Emperor Cheng Jing promoted Enke and promoted poor families, the situation was no longer what Mr. Yuan Ge had said.
Yan Yunhe managed to gather his energy and listened for a while. The current debate was about Yunzhou, which is located on the Black Island Mountains and is far away from Kyoto. Bandits are currently rampant.
It stands to reason that banditry is more serious in places far away from Kyoto. Where did the rogue bandits come from under the emperor's feet?
There are guard posts everywhere and troops are stationed there. The bandit trouble must have reached a very serious level, so the magistrate was asked to write to the county for help.
Although he didn't know which military attache Emperor Cheng Jing would appoint to lead the army to suppress the bandits, it was still a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. For a time, all the forces were fighting to the death.
After the court was over, Yan Yunhe rejected You Liang's invitation and went straight to the mansion.
There is no need for him to be on duty in the palace today, or it could be said that since the drinking incident in the army, he has temporarily lost the qualification to accompany the emperor.
I went back to my house and had a quick sleep. When I was woken up by Song Wen, it was still dark and people from the Imperial City Department had already arrived at my house.
As he expected, Zhao Xiang died and hanged himself in the courtyard under his name.
As a minister of the Ministry of Industry, he used his position to make profits and smuggled arms. The 300 pieces of firearms lost in the Ordnance Supervisor were all his fault. Zhao Xiang should have made up for the omissions in time, but was discovered unexpectedly. After running away in fear, Zhao Xiang knew that he had made a big mistake, so he committed suicide in fear of crime. This is what the suicide note said.
Yan Yunhe put his hands on his knees and tapped his fingertips: When you found Zhao Xiang, who else was there in that other courtyard?
"Only four servants. " "The marriage officer replied.
Yan He said: "No woman? "
"Not found.
Yan Yunhe said thoughtfully: "Go and find out who Liang Yin'er is from Wanhua Building. When did she enter Wanhua Building? What was her identity before entering the building? Who did she associate with after entering the building? " Check it all out.
After saying that, Yan Yunhe asked again: "Are there any clues about the dock that I asked you to check before? " "
Smuggling arms is a necessary means of transportation. Before Zhao Xiang was promoted to the Minister of Industry, he served as the Minister of the Dushui Qing Dynasty and was responsible for river defense and ship support. It is very likely that he would choose to take the water route.
When the marriage officer heard this, he immediately said: "Your Excellency As expected, Zhao Xiang indeed built a private ship at the dock, and private ship transportation was not kept clearly. The brothers finally found out that the last batch of ships was bound for Yunzhou. "
Yan Yunhe's face darkened. He had just heard of this familiar place name this morning.
If the firecrackers were transported to Yunzhou and fell into the hands of the bandits, how could the guards' troops be able to defeat them?
It's the capital city . Sending troops to suppress the bandits, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses if they encounter the bandits equipped with guns. How can ordinary bandits have such extraordinary means to purchase arms from the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the capital? There must be something wrong in this matter
.
There must be something behind the Yunzhou chaos!
"No, your Majesty must be informed of this matter immediately. "What's wrong with Yan Yun.
After the marriage officer took the order and left, Yan Yun He called his attendants and put on his official robe.
It was meal time. Song Wen just passed the meal and came in. He saw that Yan Yun's clothes had been changed. He saw He glanced at the sky and said: "It's getting late, Your Majesty probably won't tell you to enter the palace. "
As soon as he finished speaking, an eunuch came and Emperor Cheng Jing summoned him into the palace.
In the imperial study, Emperor Cheng Jing was admiring everyone's famous paintings with his hands behind his back. Before he showed his talent, Emperor Cheng Jing had many hobbies. It can be said that as long as he is in the capital There are no tricks that Emperor Cheng Jing can't play.
Polo pitching, cricket fights, and the reason why Yan Yun He could play well with Emperor Cheng Jing in his early years was that
Emperor Cheng Jing didn't even look back when he knelt down to salute . : "I plan to send you to Yunzhou. "
The good job that was still being debated in the court in the morning just fell on his head.
If the whereabouts of the batch of fire blunderbuss had not been found today, Yan Yunhe would really think that this was a "good" job.
Emperor Cheng Jing did not After hearing Yan Yunhe's answer, he turned around with interest: "Why, Aiqing doesn't want to?
"I don't dare. I take orders. " " Yan Yunhe said with a cup of his hands. Emperor Cheng Jing
smiled and said: "Zhao Xiang's case has been closed. Only when you go and suppress the bandits can I be able to overcome all opinions and let you return to Shenji camp. "
There are still doubts about Zhao Xiang's case. Your Majesty, please give me some time. I will definitely be able to get to the bottom of it." "Yan Yunhe said.
There is too little time. It is not easy to find out the clue of Wanhualou through the altered files, and Yan Yunhe's intuition told him that things are not as simple as they appear.
Emperor Cheng Jing waved his hand: "It's up to you, but let me remind you that there is no room for error in your trip to Yunzhou. Besides, there is another person who will join you in suppressing the bandits this time. "
In many things, Emperor Cheng Jing did not give face to his nominal aunt, Queen Mother Jiang. But this time he obviously gave it, and gave it a lot.
I wonder if Zhang Zheng and Yan Yunhe had troubles one after another, and Cheng Jing Emperor Jing finally knew to give in.
Not only Yan Yunhe but also Yu Qin went to Yunzhou to suppress the bandits
. When he came out of the Imperial Study Room, the sky was completely overcast, and the storm was approaching, and
the servant held up an umbrella to block Yan Yunhe with difficulty. Above the head, the little eunuch was relatively short, so it was quite difficult for Yan Yun He to hold the umbrella.
Yan Yun He didn't want to embarrass the palace people. After taking the umbrella, he slightly turned it towards the direction of the eunuch.
The rain gradually started to fall. So much so that when the sound of the argument came, Yan Yunhe didn't pay attention immediately. It was the familiar red official robe in his peripheral vision that caught his eyes.
Two people stood under the palace corridor, one of which was the one just now. In the imperial study, Emperor Cheng Jing spoke of
another Zhao Yi who was still so annoying after not seeing him for a long time.
Zhao Yi came from a family of officials. He heard that his younger sister entered the palace and became the concubine of Emperor Cheng Jing. It's a bit confusing. Why is he still clinging to Yu Qin like before?
But soon, Yan Yunhe found that Zhao Yi no longer had the same respect and admiration for Yu Qin as before.
The sound of the rain was too loud and he couldn't hear Zhao Yi clearly. What he was talking about, just from the look on his face and the disgust in his eyes, you could tell that what he was saying was definitely not a good thing.
Yan Yunhe asked the chamberlain not to continue sending him off. Just when the chamberlain wanted to say that this was not polite, he saw Yan Yunhe. He was sneaking up, as if he was going to eavesdrop. He reluctantly left the umbrella and retreated.
As he got closer, the words mixed in the wind and rain drifted to Yan Yunhe's ears.
" Stop calling me by my name, and don't pretend to be familiar with me. When I think about the days I spent as a classmate with you, I...I feel sick! "Zhao Yi's voice trembled slightly, and he was extremely disgusted.
Yan Yunhe was hiding behind the pillars. From his direction, he could clearly see Yu Qin's expression.
He was full of interest and relish, and he could clearly see Yu Qin's expression . At that moment, the smoke disappeared.
Yu Qin should be cold and indifferent. No matter what nonsense Yan Yunhe said, he would not listen to it or take it to heart.
But Zhao Yi was not Yan Yunhe, Yan Yun was that person. He couldn’t be Zhao Yi.
“That’s enough, Zhao Yi. "Yan Yunhe stepped out from behind the pillar.
Zhao Yi froze when he heard the voices of others. He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Yan Yunhe. Apparently he thought that Yan Yunhe should be on his side.
It's a pity that Yan Yunhe's next words shattered his fantasy mercilessly: "It doesn't matter where this is. You are so presumptuous. Do you think your Zhao family has a long life, or do you think your sister is in the palace?" Is your life too stable?"
Zhao Yi turned pale, gritted her teeth, and left with a roll of sleeves.
Yu Qin stood quietly on the porch, half of his robe soaked by the rain.
His face was pale, and even his lips were a bit lighter in color, as if he was a lonely ghost in the palace who would disappear in the next second.
Yan Yun He didn't like Yu Qin's appearance: "Aren't you quite brave to speak in front of me? Why did you become mute in front of that idiot?"
Yu Qin finally focused his attention on Yan Yun He who didn't know where to go. .
Yan Yunhe raised his hand and wanted to drag the person to a place where the rain could not reach him, but he paused slightly.
In the end, I just opened the umbrella in my hand to cover the wind and rain.
They were standing very close, and from Yan Yunhe's angle, he could even see the raindrops on the other's hair, running down his neck and sliding into his middle coat.
As if he had lost his mind, Yan Yunhe stared at the folded collar, not even afraid of the beast and python on it.
Until he heard Yu Qin's words.
"What's the difference between you two?"
Yan Yunhe frowned and raised his head: "What?"
"You want to be like the Queen Mother." Although Yu Qin's voice was soft, it was like thunder in Yan Yunhe's ears.
Yu Qin slowly raised his lips and revealed a thrilling smile: "Are you worthy?"
