I am fish

In summer, Ru Ning is full of gold, stone, fire and umbrellas. During the daytime, there are few merchants and customers in the east and west cities. It is not until the evening when the sun moves from the zenith to the west that the crowds gradually emerge, and the two markets gradually become lively.

Originally, the Jinwu Guard was about to ring the bell for a curfew at the beginning of the second watch, but the caravans from Liuhuo Country arrived in Dayu one after another, bringing many novelties, which greatly enriched the Runing market, and the business became more and more active.Li Yanyi issued a decree to delay the curfew, and gave great benefits to the Liuhuo country caravan, allowing them to have a full meal in Dayu, and they are more interested in continuing to travel regardless of the danger of their lives.At the same time, a small amount of resources such as gold and jewelry from the Liuhuo country flowed into Dayu one after another, helping the gradual recovery of this barren country.

Seeing the benefits, Li Yanyi was eager to get through the Wanxiang Road as soon as possible.

The sooner the universal road is opened, the sooner more wealth will flow into Da Yu's treasury.

Li Yanyi, Situ Weilun and Dahonglu Bolan discussed together, and they all agreed to increase the number of years of service. The entire Dayu, regardless of gender, slaves from the age of 14 to 60 need to serve three years of hard labor.

With the promulgation of the new decree, the labor force has increased sharply, and the largest labor force in the country has all rushed to the Wanxiang Road. Li Yan's intention is to completely open up this road within three years of Zhaowu.

She can't help but be in a hurry.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in the third year of Zhaowu, the Hu people in the north began to move again. There have been several battles in the frontier, but they were all just temptations by the Hu people.The nuisance is constant and I don't know when the war will suddenly break out. What Li Yanyi is worried about is that Dayu has just stored a little grain, the granary has not been filled, and the population is still very small. see the bottom.At that time, if you want to promote the new law on marriage between women and girls, you will definitely receive strong opposition, making it even more difficult to promote this seemingly absurd law.Even if no one objected, Li Yanyi knew it was wrong.

The foundation of everything is that gold is money!Li Yanyi knows how important money is, and that the opening of the Wanxiang Road means a frenzied influx of reserve gold and silver jewelry available for market circulation.

She dreams of it all.The road of all directions must be completed quickly.

At the same time, the selection of generals in northern Xinjiang fell into the eyes of the various forces in the center again.

Luan Jiang and other Geng worshiped his party members to ask for a battle, and Li Yanyi asked them if they had any suitable generals.Needless to say, Luan Jiang and others naturally elected Geng Bai's eldest son, Geng Yao, to lead the army in Northern Xinjiang to resist the Hu thieves.

Luan Jiang had already thought about how to persuade Li Yanyi after he denied it, but Li Yanyi uncharacteristically agreed, which greatly exceeded Luan Jiang's expectations.However, the title Li Yanyi gave Gengyou was not a second-rank coach like Zhenbei General, but was stationed in northern Xinjiang as Bo Qin's deputy.

Bo Qinnai is the elder brother of the collateral lineage of Bolan, the current Dahonglu. He is 42 years old this year, and he is at the age of strength and courage.In the past, Bo Qin was just a very inconspicuous Dongchun Changshi. Before Li Yanyi became the throne, he traveled thousands of miles and noticed many talents, and Bo Qin was one of them.

When Bo Qin was young, he had the ambition to serve the country, but he was from the Bo family in Runing. The Dongchun Bo family was inconspicuous under the cover of the extremely powerful Xie family and the grandson's family at that time.Under the official selection system based on his birth, Bo Qin has been unknown until he was 36 and seven years old, and his youthful ambitions were almost forgotten.

If it were someone else, they would have to eat and wait to die at this time, but Bo Qin still did not give up. He practiced martial arts every day and read a lot of books. Li Yanyi has been sending people to observe him in secret. Seeing that he is indeed a usable person, he sent him two months ago. He was transferred to Runing and asked him to train the imperial army. Li Yanyi personally confirmed that this person is a man of great talent and general strategy, so he made an exception and promoted him to the fourth rank Jianwei general, and led the tiger talisman to guard the border.

After so many years of hard work, Bo Qin finally looked forward to his day of success. His gratitude to Li Yanyi cannot be expressed in words. Only by devoting himself to her can he repay her kindness.

Gengyu was born in a great family, and with the Empress Dowager Geng being conferred the title of Empress Dowager, the Geng family became even more prominent.Geng Yang is the eldest son and has always been proud, how can he swallow his anger and become a villager's deputy?Geng glaze 1 people are unwilling.

Gengbai also felt uncomfortable, but Li Yanyi's extraordinary promotion of Bo Qin this time made him smell something different.

It stands to reason that neither Bo Lan nor Bo Qin is qualified for the current official position, and Li Yanyi's promotion will be questioned.Li Yanyi was able to completely disregard the doubts of the officials and withstood the pressure to pull out members of the Bo family. It is conceivable what he expects from the Bo family.

Not only did Gengbai feel that Li Yanyi wanted to use the Bo family, but You Changshi also saw it.

"It seems that His Majesty has begun to fear Wei Shi."

The two blue and green peacocks in the courtyard of the Geng Mansion are very eye-catching. You Changshi squinted his eyes at the peacocks, looking rather inscrutable: "That's why he reused Mr. Bo, and even entrusted him with such an important matter as guarding the border. Qin. His Majesty wants to use the Bo family to check and balance the Wei family. Hehehe, finally opened his eyes."

Geng Bai was playing with the gold-plated peacock-carved incense box in his hand, and he didn't take his eyes off the exquisite box for a moment: "Your Majesty has been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and the whole person has changed. Presumably, he must have heard some news about Wei Shi, I didn't dare to rely on it wholeheartedly, so I thought of the Bo family. It wasn't just the Wei Party who suffered from being pulled up by the Bo family. Do you think our Geng family won't be implicated? Hmph, Your Majesty doesn't know where he got it from What kind of wild man actually named a general Jianwei and asked my son to be his lieutenant general, it's really annoying."

You Changshi wanted to say more, but seeing the "new friend" sitting next to Geng Bai put down his wine glass, it seemed that he was about to speak, so You Changshi shut up.

You Changshi has been around the queen mother all year round and is very discerning. From the moment he entered the house, he noticed that this strange man had an extraordinary appearance, and Geng Bai seemed to hold him in high regard.

In the past, Luan Jiang only gave him a small piece of wooden table when he came, but this friend is different. His table is made of pure gold. The table is either emerald or agate from the cups to the tableware. What surprised You Changshi even more was the tourmaline ring on his finger.This tourmaline ring was once Geng Bai's favorite, but he gave it to this person, which shows Geng Bai's appreciation for him.

You Changshi seemed to be looking at the peacock in the yard, but in fact he had been observing him secretly.

This person was wearing a green shirt, and his goatee was trimmed very neatly. He looked about 40 years old, or younger.He had a ruddy complexion and a smile on his lips, and his whole body was filled with a sense of ease, not like a small person participating in an important plan for the first time.

"Not only that." The man said slowly, "Bo Qin was exceptionally reused by the emperor, so he must be very loyal to the emperor. The military power in northern Xinjiang envisioned by the uncle of the country is not a day or two, and the emperor will follow suit. The son seems to be Bo Qin The lieutenant made a plan, but he was actually tied up on the battlefield by the emperor. Once the uncle of the country is against the emperor, Bo Qin will definitely threaten the life of the son. At that time, the uncle of the country has no power to fight back and can only be at the mercy of the emperor."

The man's superficial words woke up Geng Bai, and Geng Bai finally put down the incense box.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Geng Bai said: "It's Huaiyuan who thinks carefully and never lets my son go to northern Xinjiang!"

"This is His Majesty beating Uncle Guo, telling Uncle Guo to stop as soon as possible, and stop worrying about military power."

Gengbai said angrily: "I don't want to worry about military power either! But what kind of Haina reform did that demon girl surnamed Wei implement, and wanted to let a group of barbarians divide power! My Geng clan has worked so hard for so many years to protect Dayu Jiangshan. How much blood and sweat , How can it be said that the division will be divided! Today His Majesty will support her to carry out the reform, and tomorrow will agree with her to kill my Geng family! Although the Bo family is reused, in the end there is still no way to compete with the Wei family. The target of the witch of the Wei clan is this old man! It is our Geng clan! As long as the Geng clan collapses, the Wei clan will be able to monopolize the government, so their wolfish ambitions will not work hard to cut down my power? I want military power not to cause chaos, but to protect myself When Wei Shi wants to drive us all to death, he can have a little ability to protect himself. Isn't that okay! Why is Your Majesty thinking about outsiders? I'm her own uncle!"

"Uncle Guo, don't say such angry words anymore." The man with the goatee advised him, "Although you are an uncle of the country, in the eyes of the king, there is only a relationship between a monarch and a subject. She is the king and you are a subject, and you are considered an uncle." is also like this."

"...Of course the old man knows. Hey." Geng Bai sighed, "It's all the witches of the Wei family who bewitched His Majesty! The Wei family really deserves to be hacked into pieces!"

"It's actually not difficult to kill the demon girl." The humane said, "Wei Tingxu is in the court now, and since he has become an official and has an official position, he has more things to catch."

Geng Bai said: "But that witch surnamed Wei is full of tricks, I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch her."

"It's hard to catch Wei Tingxu, but it's very easy to catch another person."

"Oh? You mean..."

"Wei Tingxu's boudoir close friend, Zhen Wenjun. Zhen Wenjun is now a close minister of the emperor, responsible for the emperor's access and safety. This is a fat job close to the emperor, and it is also the most dangerous position where it is easy to lose his head. Once the emperor makes any mistakes, he will be the first to call The person who was accused was Zhen Wenjun. As far as I know, Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun have a very good relationship than Jin Jian. If they are accused, Wei Tingxu will definitely not sit idly by. Zhen Wenjun is the one who separates Wei Tingxu and Tianzi Guanqiao Where. Once the emperor suspects the demon girl Wei, the emperor will naturally have countless ways to get rid of her without uncle Guo's efforts."

"You!" Geng Bai was about to say something but then paused, and glanced at You Changshi.You Changshi immediately understood and closed all the doors and windows.

"Are you trying to assassinate His Majesty?! Then put the crime on Zhen Wenjun's head?" Geng Bai's beard almost stood on end, pointing at the man.

The man smiled calmly and said: "Of course it's not a real assassination. Your Majesty only needs to suffer a little flesh injury. Once your Majesty sees blood, the uncle of the country can lead his private soldiers to kill the escort. When the time comes, the uncle of the country will be credited for the rescue." Master can be counted as the top performer. Of course, there should not be too many private soldiers, otherwise there will be suspicion of treason, only 20 elite soldiers are enough."

"But the emperor's itinerary is always private. How does the old man know where she is going? Besides, who has the ability to get close to the emperor? The group of women chasing the moon army around the emperor are all very powerful. I'm afraid they haven't let the emperor At the sight of blood, the assassin dies."

"These uncles don't need to worry too much. If you can trust me, I will let you do it."

You Changshi stood aside and was stunned. Who is this person? He is so bold that the layout has been laid on the emperor!Still want to assassinate the emperor!If it is discovered, it will be a serious crime for the whole family to lose their heads!

Gengbai laughed: "How could this old man not trust Brother Huaiyuan! It's just..."

"Is it just that Uncle Guo is afraid?"

"What is the old man afraid of? If you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub. As long as you can bring down the Wei family, it's worth taking the risk."

The man with the goatee left, and Waiter You Chang asked Gengbai who that man was, and why Uncle Guo trusted him so much, so he was not afraid of being cheated.

"Others are likely to cheat, only he can't." Geng Bai said.

"Oh?"

"He is from Xie Fuchen."

"Xie Fuchen?" You Changshi couldn't help covering his mouth when he heard this name.

"Yes, he was one of Xie Fuchen's counselors when he was in power, Fang Huaiyuan, known as Mr. Yunmeng. He has been hiding in the dark and few people know it. After the old Xie fell, he ran out and has been wandering around. Actually. That is to flee. The old man has long heard that he is very intelligent and capable, so it is a pity to be left out like this, so he was recruited with a bowl of rice."

"A bowl of rice?"

"Yes, a bowl of rice. People don't have any dignity at all when they are down and down. It's lucky for me to get such a big deal with a bowl of rice. It was this witch of the Wei family who brought down the Xie family back then, Yun Meng has a hatred for the Wei family, and he wants the demon girl Wei to die more than I do."

Li Yanyi didn't go out of the Forbidden Garden, on the contrary, she often ran between the Forbidden Garden and Huaichen Mansion, and needed to visit Junshan to worship her ancestors, and occasionally went to Yijing Garden to enjoy flowers and boats to change her mood.

No matter where she goes, her itinerary is absolutely confidential, and she must be guarded by the Moon Chaser Army, who is heavily guarded. It is more difficult to get close to the Son of Heaven than to go to the sky.

Zhen Wenjun, as the lieutenant of the Moon Chasing Army, Li Yanyi will follow Li Yanyi all the way out of the Forbidden Garden. It is her duty to ensure the safety of the emperor.

Before today's departure, Zhen Wenjun received an order that the emperor would go to Dahonglu's mansion to meet Meng Dahan, but when it was time to leave, Li Yanyi said that he would go to Yijingyuan to relax.It turned out that the previous trip was just a feint, an extra layer of defense.

The Zuo Army who was in charge of exploring the road had already set off first. Zhen Wenjun rode Xiaoxue at the front of the team, behind him was a very low-key and ordinary carriage, which looked like an ordinary official family traveling.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Yanyi finally had time to be unhappy.

Li Yanyi received countless memorials submitted by various parties for the matter of recruiting labor to build the Wanxiang Road. Although they did not dare to say it directly, the complaints against the excessive increase in labor were revealed between the lines. Li Yanyi opened a volume of memorials. Howling all over the place.

She had expected to hear a lot of objections, and without the slightest retreat, she refuted all these memorials and threw them back.

These short-sighted idiots questioned the widow's opening up the road of all directions, but they are just fishing for money. In fact, these old men are the summer worms who doubt the ice!The role of the Universal Road cannot be seen overnight. If you can't bear the pain of development now, how can you taste the sweetness in the future?

Li Yanyi knows that these ministers are not completely ignorant of her intentions, nor are they ignorant of the many benefits that the road of universal direction can bring to Da Yu.It's just that the number one hero of Wanxiang Road is Wei Tingxu, and their opposition to Wanxiang Road is basically to oppose Wei Tingxu.Who is the important minister in the court who is not from a noble family?They all felt that Wei Tingxu's Haina reform was sucking their bones.Wei Tingxu has become the number one enemy of the great families, and in their view, Wanxiang Road is an important tool to punish him.As for the opening of the Wanxiang Road, I am afraid that these old ministers' calculations are sophisticated. As long as Wei Tingxu is pulled down, they will be able to take over and rule, and the benefits will return to these great families who are entrenched in the center.It's a pity that none of them can have Wei Tingxu's courage and vision. Right now, she must not let Wei Tingxu be overthrown by these fools. Restore the heyday of a strong country and a prosperous people!

Li Yanyi didn't hesitate at all in the face of these people's ambitions. It was difficult for anyone in the world to trap her, but no matter whether she was the emperor or the eldest princess, there was still someone who could cure her.Moreover, this person can not say a word or show his face, which can make Li Yanyi think about it day and night and get restless and irritable.

Wei Tingxu sometimes miscalculates.

Back then, Wei Tingxu asked Li Yanyi to send news to Beijiang that her arm was broken, hoping to use this bitter trick to lure Ah Xin back, but unexpectedly, Ah Xin still did not return to Runing, and the strange thing is that he never saw A Lie's letter again.

Li Yanyi sent two more people to the north to find out the news. The north is too far away. Even if they go back and forth quickly, it will take more than 40 days. It is normal that there is no news yet.

Feeling normal and suffering at the same time, Li Yanyi even began to wonder whether Ah Xin was really empathetic, why couldn't she meet Ah Xin even if her arm was broken?

Recalling that many years ago, she was just suffering from a cold and coughing, and this matter reached Xin's ears. She ran a horse for more than 100 miles overnight to find her. When they met, Xin couldn't help crying.Recalling the memories of the past, she is no longer the eldest princess Huai Chen, and Ah Xin is no longer her obedient girl.

In order to avoid the crowds and fear that there might be assassins hiding in the crowds, Li Yanyi always liked to walk in small alleys.

As the autumn wind swept past, Zhen Wenjun felt something was wrong.

She smelled rust on the wind.

This smell comes from weapons that have been licking blood all year round, and it is the smell that only a large number of people gather together.

"Stop." Zhen Wenjun stopped his horse.

Li Yanyi, who was sitting in the carriage, found it strange that the carriage stopped without her order.

She also felt murderous.
