It rained continuously for a full day, and it didn't stop until evening.

On the large and small streets in the capital, the traces of pedestrians gradually decreased, and only small vendors still set up stalls to support their families.

In the private seat of the teahouse, Xiao Yuanchang picked up the teapot at hand and poured himself a cup of hot tea, while next to him was Yu Suixin who had changed into a man's attire. Her eyes were shrewd, and she looked at the person sitting opposite people.

Although the man on the opposite side was wearing Central Plains costumes, his words and deeds, every move he raised his hands and feet, carried a bit of barbarian style, especially his eyes, which were as sharp as eagles and aggressive.

He looked at Xiao Yuanchang in front of him, played with the teacup in his hand and said, "Does His Highness King Rongping really not consider cooperating with me?"

Xiao Yuanchang snorted coldly: "Cooperating with you, don't you want me to treason the country?"

Ashinamodo nodded and smiled playfully: "No, we are cooperation. What I want is the peaceful coexistence of the two countries. Unexpectedly, the Zhenbei Palace is aggressive and no one wants to fight. If King Rongping cooperates with me, I might as well assist King Rongping Sit on the seat of God."

Xiao Yuanchang paused for a moment: "I'm not the son of a concubine, how can I sit on it?"

Ashinamodo raised his eyebrows and stood in front of the window watching the rainwater dripping from the eaves. After a while, he closed the window and turned around to look at Xiao Yuanchang, saying:

"Now that Xiao Yuanjing is caught in the case of leaking the exam questions in Chunwei, I am afraid he is too busy to take care of himself. It is fake that the prince of Zhenbei returned to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries, but it is true that he colluded with the prince of this dynasty. He has guarded Yunzhong for generations in the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion. Ask about the matter of Li Chu in the imperial court, but this prince of Zhenbei is extremely partial to Xiao Yuanjing, if you say that there is no deal between them, would you believe it?"

Xiao Yuanchang remained silent, sniffing the fragrance of tea faintly, and then brought it to his mouth to sip lightly.

Ashinamodo: "If the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion fails, Xiao Yuanjing is not qualified to be the crown prince. As for King Pingdu, there is a good opportunity to eradicate his wings. In this way, among the princes, No one can compete with you, King Rongping."

Xiao Yuanchang put the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Then what do you want?"

Ashinamodo raised his eyebrows: "What I want is the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in Daliang. For Daliang, which has a vast land and rich resources, these sixteen prefectures are not a rich place in the Central Plains. I just look at the grassland and let my son The dwellings have no fixed place, and they have been attacked by wind and sand all year round. I can't bear it, and I want them to live in peace."

Xiao Yuanchang met his hawk-like eyes, and had some doubts: "What you want...is only the Sixteen States of Yanyun?"

Ashinamodo took out a paper contract from his bosom and spread it out in front of Xiao Yuanchang: "If King Rongping doesn't believe it, he can make a contract, and the contract is based on it. If I break my promise in the future, I can make this Yanyun ten The six states took it back, and I have no complaints."

Xiao Yuanchang lowered his eyes and meditated, and after a long time he got up and said, "I'll think about it."

Ashinamodo didn't keep it, but put away the contract on his own, watching Xiao Yuanchang walk towards the door with Yu Suixin from the corner of his eye:

"If His Royal Highness King Rongping thinks it over, you might as well go to the Guanglai Inn in the west of the city to find me. I will always count on what I say."

Xiao Yuanchang paused in front of the door, and finally opened the door and walked out.

After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Yuanchang took Yu Suixin into the carriage together, his expression was dignified and thoughtful, until the carriage started to drive slowly, he looked sideways at the inner beauty beside him:

"Are you also from Beiyi?"

Yu Suixin nodded and smiled slightly: "Yes."

Xiao Yuanchang: "Just to make me connect with him?"

Yu Suixin shook her head: "No, I love you because I don't want you to lose the most important thing to you. I just want to help you, let you be the crown prince, be the emperor, let you own the great Liang Jiangshan, and make you happy hapiness."

Xiao Yuanchang's heart was extremely complicated, he hung his head in silence, his eyes became more and more gloomy, and immediately, a sharp dagger appeared in front of his eyes, which made him grab the person holding the dagger, and turned his head to look at him in disbelief. Zhu Yu Suixin:

"what are you doing?"

Yu Suixin said firmly: "I know you doubt me, why not kill me with it, so that you don't have to embarrass yourself, and you don't have to promise him anything."

Xiao Yuanchang looked at Yu Suixin's firm eyes, and finally pushed her wrist away: "Forget it, what could be worse than me now, not being a crown prince, and losing the trust of my father, if in the future Xiao Yuan Jing is the emperor, I am afraid that my life will not be easy."

Yu Suixin looked at him quietly and didn't speak anymore, just let Xiao Yuanchang figure out something by himself.

At the same time, Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong also came back from Dali Temple. Although they didn't see Xun Ruobai who was locked in the prison, they learned the whole process of leaking the fake exam questions from the minister of Dali Temple.

On the second day of Chunwei, when all the candidates had received the test questions from the emperor and started to write essays, they heard a candidate from No. [-] of the C Zijian crying loudly, saying that he had been cheated.

At that time, Xun Ruobai, who was patrolling the exam, brought people to appease him and told him not to disturb the other candidates to answer the questions. Unexpectedly, he grabbed Xun Ruobai and said that he lied to him and gave him the wrong exam questions. As a result, the content of his review was completely different from today's exam questions. Totally out of tune.

As a result, the C-character supervisor was in chaos. In order to appease the other students, the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner asked people to bring Xun Ruobai and the candidates who disturbed the examination room into the backyard.

However, there was a case of leaking the exam questions, so the exam on the second day was suspended, and all candidates had to stay in the Tribute Court for inspection.

But after searching for the anomaly, there was no clue. This Xun Ruobai also returned home because of insufficient evidence.

The leak of the test questions reached the emperor's ears that day, and the emperor immediately ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case.

That night, under the confession of the examinee, the officials of Dali Temple caught the person reselling the exam questions, and even found a lot of sales records about this year's exam questions in the residence of the person who sold the exam questions.

And a letter between him and Xun Ruobai in private, Xun Ruobai said in the letter that helping King Changping opened a shop cost a lot of money, and he planned to resell the test questions in order to make up for the shortfall, but because the test questions were all written by the emperor himself, I really don’t know, So let this person sell fake exam questions to earn fees.

That's why the Dali Temple went directly to Duke Qing's mansion to arrest people early in the morning of the second day.

It's just that Xun Ruobai has always claimed that he was wronged. Even if he confronted the dealer who resells the test questions, he still denied it, and he couldn't explain why the dealer had a letter with a handwriting similar to his.

The minister of Dali Temple said: "This reselling of real test questions is a leak of secrets. No matter who buys the test questions or sells them, they will be punished. After all, cheating is not advisable. However, selling fake test questions is to mislead people. It is a way to defraud money, the light ones will be sent to the army and exiled, and the serious ones will be beheaded."

But Dali Temple Minister also promised Xiao Yuanjing that he would investigate the case carefully and would not wrongly wrong a good person or misplace a bad person.

The lights were on in the study room, and the spring rain outside the window had stopped. Wei Changgong looked at Xiao Yuanjing who was standing in front of the window meditating, and couldn't help walking over to stand beside him:

"Since the Minister of Dali Temple has said it, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."

Xiao Yuanjing shook his head: "No, the Minister of Dali Temple believes me, but I can't trust other people."

Wei Changgong: "Who?"

A flash of light flashed in Xiao Yuanjing's mind, he turned his head and looked directly at Wei Changgong: "Marquis of Qi."

Wei Changgong was a little puzzled: "Why him?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "Since I came back from Dali Temple, I have been thinking about a question, who is trying to deal with me, but I don't know how to connect me with the sale of fake exam questions, but I have made many clues, leading to People misunderstand."

Wei Changgong: "Then why is it not Xiao Yuanchang, but Qi Guohou?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "It's very simple. Xiao Yuanchang's incident is his own fault. If he is smart, he should know that Beiyi's secret agents have sneaked into his side, so he can easily steal the badge of the government soldiers. But Qi Guohou is different. , if he misses the first blow, he will definitely attack again, he defeated Concubine Yu Gui with his first attack, and lost the trust of his father, after suffering such a big loss, I don't believe he would not want to get rid of me."

Wei Changgong: "Since I know it's the Marquis of Qi, I'll help you prepare."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled mysteriously at him: "Don't worry, I heard from cousin Liu Nian that people from Beiyi have come to the capital recently?"

Wei Changgong nodded: "It's Ashinamodo, the eldest prince of Beiyi. I didn't understand the purpose of Princess Jinzhu's visit to the capital before, so I didn't make a move. Now that Ashinamodo is here, I seem to have guessed 80.00% of it." .”

Xiao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Wei Changgong said: "I probably want to use King Rongping to cause turmoil in the court, and then take the opportunity to get rid of my Zhenbei Palace, and then attack the Central Plains in one fell swoop."

Xiao Yuanjing frowned slightly, and suddenly felt the surroundings were chilly: "Is it so scary?"

Wei Changgong nodded: "This Ashinamodo has always been very scheming and will use any means to achieve his goals. I'm afraid I have to write a letter to Yunzhong to make the border ready."

Xiao Yuanjing didn't understand: "Since you know they are in the capital, why don't you take action to kill them? Didn't you just say that it's better to strike first."

Wei Changgong smiled: "At other times, it is true that the first strike is the best, but if this time is the first strike, if we get rid of Ashina, I am afraid that it will give Beiyi an absolute chance to attack me in the Central Plains." For a good reason, when the Beiyi people use the excuse of revenge for Ashina, the enthusiasm will turn into morale, so the border will not be stable."

Xiao Yuanjing opened his mouth half-understanding, and nodded.

Wei Changgong looked at the appearance of Xiao Yuanjing in front of him, and couldn't help nodding his head and smiling: "I'm the only one dealing with Ashen, so you just concentrate on how to solve this fake test question, how to turn defeat into victory, and defeat this Marquis of Qi by the way."

Xiao Yuanjing pinched Wei Changgong's face with his hand, and smiled brightly: "I know, with you by my side, of course I will be invincible! After all, my wife is the God of War, hehehe."

"Who is the daughter-in-law, huh?"

Wei Changgong smiled slightly, took advantage of the situation and took Xiao Yuanjing's arm, put his arms around his waist and brought him into his arms, and lowered his head to enclose Xiao Yuanjing's lips.
