Chapter Ninety-One: The Insider


Father and brother were not at home, or did not talk about the court in front of Qin and Xu Yuan, Chao Dinglan inadvertently said that night that there would be foreign envoys to Beijing to see him, but after a few days, he never heard of an envoy leading a team to the pilgrimage.Everything in the capital is as usual, if Xu Yuan hadn't walked around as Mo Jiu, he wouldn't have been able to find the waves under the calm.First of all, the defense of the city is still the same as before, but among the guards of the city gates and towers, there are a few soldiers with sharp eyes and murderous aura on their bodies.These people had already hidden the sharp edges that had been sharpened on the battlefield, and they had also tried to hide the bloody killings of the enemy, but Xu Yuan still noticed the difference after going out many times.Secondly, the court meeting lasted longer than before, and in the past few days, my father and the courtiers have returned from the dynasty after Shen Shi.If it weren't for something, the emperor wouldn't have stayed for too long.And, when my father came home, he plunged into his study and could not see him until dinner.The last point is also the most obvious point that Xu Yuan has seen.The elder brother wore armor under his robes, sometimes leaving early and returning late, sometimes late and returning early, and it was clear that he had a mission on him, with a mission that might pose a risk of injury.My father and brother didn't say it, naturally because they were afraid that their families would be uneasy.Xu Yuan also wanted to know nothing at the beginning, but the more unclear he was about the truth and development of the matter, the more he kept looking at the door every day, paying attention to when his father and brother would come home and whether they would have a lot of colors on their bodies......

It's hard to pretend to be heartless as if you don't know.So after dinner that day, she knocked on the door of her father's study, and it just so happened that her brother was inside."

Yuan'er?

Do you have something to do with your father?

”Xu Yunxiao personally opened the door, and at this moment, she was standing in the door looking at her sister."

Well, there's something.What are my brother and father talking about?

”Xu Yuan looked at his brother's hands on the door, tilted his head slightly and deliberately asked playfully, "Doesn't my brother plan to let me in?"

”"Talking nonsense again, beware of what your father says about you."

Xu Yunxiao opened the door, stood sideways, stretched out her right hand out of the door and pulled her sister's wrist to bring people into the house.Xu Yuan stuck out his tongue at his brother: "No, although my father didn't say it, my father loved me the most." ”"Okay, didn't you say that there was something to find a father, what is the matter?""

Father, martial law is under martial law in Beijing, but is it the reason for the foreign envoy?

It is said that as long as the Ministry of Rites arranges the relevant matters in accordance with the etiquette system, and the official in charge of the matter after the emperor's approval can be truthfully entertained.But now the court is nervous, and half of the guards in the city have been replaced unconsciously, and my brother has also been assigned something that may be dangerous~" "Where did you know this?"

”Without waiting for her father to answer, Xu Yunxiao first looked at her sister in horror.These are court secrets, except for the courtiers, they can't be revealed to all the family members, how can Yuan'er know everything?

Seeing that his father also asked her with his eyes, Xu Yuan confessed: "I overheard King Qi say that there is an envoy coming here, and Mo Jiu quietly told me that there was a change of people in the guards, as for my brother, you are usually not good at martial arts and never cause trouble, where do you wear such a thing as armor?"

I naturally don't think much about it, but this pile is all in one place, and no matter how stupid I am, I should have noticed and guessed some of them. ”"Yuan'er," Xu Zhi looked at his beloved daughter, and sighed worriedly: "As a father, I really hope you can be stupid and not be so smart." ”Sensitivity has many disasters, and wisdom is very easy to die, which has existed since ancient times.As a father, he just wants his children to have a worry-free life and good health."

But my daughter doesn't want to, my daughter can't not understand nothing!

I obviously have eyes and ears, but I can only be deaf and blind because I am stupid, and I can only hear what others want to hear and see what others want to show me. ”She should not be like a fool and lead herself and those who love her into the end of the road.Father Xu sighed deeply secretly, this daughter, born to his family and born as a daughter, she was really wronged.Seeing that his father was silent, Xu Yuan walked up to him and said, "Daddy tell me, so that I don't have to think about anything for a day, and I scare myself." ”"Sit down.This matter seems simple, but there are too many involved.Things have to start from the saint's private order Yu Guo's uncle and father and son to enter Dongchang to meet Emperor Chang......

"In the middle of the year, Emperor Dongchang's henchmen came to see Emperor Dayu, and only brought a secret letter from Emperor Chang stamped with a jade seal, what the letter said, except for the emperor and Uncle Yu Guo's father and son, others do not know.A month later, the emperor sent Yu Wenzhao and Yu Shen to envoy Dongchang to meet Emperor Chang privately.Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, Dongchang power leaning towards the government and the opposition Wei Cheng Prime Minister sent a potential Dayu assassin into the palace to assassinate, of course, the operation failed, the assassin or prisoner, several captured people were taken into custody in the imperial prison, killed the guards some time ago, and escaped overnight.Now, I want to return to Dongchang.The courtiers knew that it was Dongchang who was going to visit.The Ministry of Rites asked the emperor to appoint the prince to lead the team to be responsible for the reception, and the officials in the court and the central government unanimously thought that the emperor would let the three princes be responsible, but the emperor gave instructions to the Ministry of Rites, and designated Chao Qizhen as the reception of the prince."

Emperor Chang avoided Prime Minister Wei Cheng's secret correspondence with the emperor, probably in order to seek the emperor's assistance and help him restrain or even cut off Wei Cheng's interference in Dongchang's state affairs.The emperor asked the Yu father and son to go, thinking that he wanted to ask for greater benefits.But Emperor Chang is not brainless, he asked the emperor to help him, and the rewards promised in private letters, once they are completed, can be denied by him at any time and become an empty piece of paper.The Yu father and son went to sit on the business contract between the two monarchs, so that Emperor Chang could not shirk and regret it in the future.Prime Minister Wei did not do anything in the Dongchang court, but at this time he sent assassins into the Dayu Palace to assassinate, which shows that Emperor Chang's strength is not enough to bring down Prime Minister Wei.Da Yu did not kill all the people of Wei Chengxiang, but let him flee back, and Emperor Chang had to send a special envoy to visit in order to prevent Wei Cheng from forming an alliance with Da Yu.As for the emperor not letting the three princes receive them, but instead assigned the eldest second prince, one is to help the three princes avoid suspicion, and the other is also to remind the Yu father and son that the previous agreement with Emperor Chang is no longer counted, so that they can stay sober and not have too close contacts with Dongchang. ”"What my father said should be the inside story that the emperor and the Yu family are silent.However, the Dongchang envoy came only for the sake of the long-term peace between the two countries, which was originally a matter of etiquette, but now how did it develop into a situation where the entire capital is loose on the outside and tight on the inside?

”The elder brother replied to her in a deep voice: "Because Ximin and Beiqiang have also come one after another, they will arrive in Beijing in a few days." ”It is not the monarch's longevity, nor the queen mother's longevity, there is no prince's wedding, there is no monarch's Zen position, in general, Dayu does not let the countries come to congratulate and mourn, and the three kingdoms come to the pilgrimage at the same time, which is not a simple courtesy visit.
