Mo Yi returned to the Crown Prince's Palace with a thoughtful expression on his face, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Cai Yan galloping towards him.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Caiyan threw herself into Mo Yi's arms, first complained dissatisfiedly, then seeing Mo Yi's expression changed, she couldn't help asking with concern: "Is the emperor not embarrassing you?"

"It's fine, Your Highness doesn't need to worry." Mo Yi said to him reassuringly. He looked at Caiyan in his arms, wearing brocade and long hair. Sickly, weak and overwhelmed with clothes, it adds a bit of femininity and gentleness in vain. If this appearance is placed in a wealthy family, I am afraid that he can be a favored concubine, but he is a noble royal descendant who was born with a mission. ah!

Does such a child really have the courage to become the lord of a country?As soon as this idea appeared, the Mexicans were taken aback in vain.With a pale expression, he shook off the thought just now from the bottom of his heart.

Caiyan was supported by Mo Yi all the way to the bedside, and seeing that Mo Yi was silent all the way, she finally couldn't help asking: "Just now, what did Your Excellency tell you?"

Mo Yi looked at the boy with clear eyes beside him, the trust in the other party's eyes almost hurt him, took a deep breath, Mo Yi finally said in a deep voice: "Ah Yan, in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to be here again Here with you."

"No! I don't want it, I'm going to beg Your Majesty the Emperor!" The most fearful thing in my heart finally happened, Caiyan broke free from Mo Yi's arms, and rushed to the door with big strides. She had already left before she wanted to chase The long-time imperial husband Xuanzhong.

Mo Yi grabbed him, looked at Caiyan's eyes from shock and disbelief to despair and misery, and felt a pain in his heart, but he still hardened his heart, attached his hands to support the other's shoulders, and used an unprecedented cold expression He said in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince! Please listen to me!"

Caiyan had never seen Mo Yi look so serious before, he was so frightened that Mo Yi's voice brought him back to his senses from the excitement just now, and only then did he feel scared, he actually wanted to go with him How dare Xuan Zhong intercede!

Regardless of Caiyan's thoughts, Mo Yi stared at Caiyan closely, and said word by word: "Isn't the Crown Prince always curious about where Zijing and Ran Ran went? Now I will tell you, Xuanda People wanted the three of us to form a contract with his eldest son, but the two of them refused, so they were put under house arrest. I was spared because I belonged to the same bloodline as Master Xuan, and Master Xuan placed me here. It's called taking care of the crown prince's daily life, but it's actually surveillance..." Mo Yi couldn't continue when he said this, and saw that the boy in front of him was already in tears, and asked sadly in a trembling voice: "A Yi, what do you want to do with me?" Is my friendship a lie? Are you lying to me this year?" Caiyan, who is already slender and fragile, only feels that the sky is going to fall in an instant, and every word Moji said just now is like Like a sharp knife, it pierced his heart.

Seeing that he was still caring about these details until now, Mo Yi sighed deeply in his heart, and finally restrained all his emotions, and said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, the son of the emperor Xuanzhong, General Xuanming, and the three Do you know what this means? The three of us will be the actual managers of the three counties. Xuanzhong will hold the three counties in the palm of his hand with a paper contract. He has ulterior motives. Very big..."

"So what? Even if I know all this, what can I do? I'm just an abandoned child who was raised in this palace at birth, and no one around me can trust me. It's you, everyone Xuanzhong man, if you tell me everything, what can I do?!" Seemingly completely desperate for the prospect, Caiyan finally shouted out the fear in his heart regardless, and wept miserably.

This kind of emotional venting made the Mo people secretly heave a sigh of relief. It turned out that the childish-looking Crown Prince in front of him didn't know anything from time to time, he just couldn't do anything about it.

He looked at the other party fixedly, and said softly: "I have another method that is not a solution here. Do you want to try the Crown Prince?"

Mo Yi's words made Caiyan stop crying, he slowly calmed down, lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, Mo Yi only looked at him and didn't say anything to urge him, for a moment, the quiet needles in the huge palace It can be heard.

"What is the method?" Caiyan finally asked after a long silence.

At this moment, the weak prince finally calmed down.

--------------------------

Xuan Zhong simply left after verbally warning the Mexicans. He didn't know what happened in the Crown Prince's Palace after he left. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. After all, His Majesty the Crown Prince in the palace is He had single-handedly raised it since he was a child, and he didn't believe that that slender, fragile, incompetent child could turn out any storms.

Walking quickly through the cold Imperial Prince's Palace, Xuanzhong strode towards the outside of the palace, waiting for the cronies outside the palace to see him, and immediately greeted him. On weekdays, it is quite effective to help him sort out and handle some simple government affairs. At this moment, seeing Xuan Zhong, the official, as in the past, summarized the documents submitted by the courtiers the next day and described them to Xuan Zhong in sections. Listen, such a brief summary report is enough for Xuanzhong to have a rough plan in his heart when he meets every day.

Xuanzhong walked and listened, the officer's report was precise and concise, the first few items were mostly about the four counties,

"The county lords of Yanyang and Muyun counties sent an inquiry letter again, asking when the two county lords, Zijing and Ran Ran, will return?" the officer said in a plain tone.

"Hmph, don't worry about it." Hearing this, Xuan Zhong snorted and said indifferently.

The clerk nodded upon hearing the words, and then drew a red line on the document. In fact, the inquiry letter submitted was much stricter than what he said. The anger of the two county lords can almost be revealed from the animal skin paper. Come out, but there is no need for the emperor to know these things. As Xuanzhong's confidant, the affairs officer clearly knows Xuanzhong's ambitions. The two detained candidate princes are destined to have no return date. It is too difficult to describe the anger from the two counties.

"The reprimand letter sent to Lengshan County last time has already been received by the county lord who wants to come over there. Yesterday Lengshan County sent more slaves and high-quality medicinal materials."

"Didn't they ask them to send over the candidate named Biyu? Why is it so obedient?" Xuan Zhong's face darkened, and his tone became stricter.

"The Lord of Lengshan County said that the candidate for the Lord was weak, and he was bedridden once he returned to the county mansion, so he was unable to take orders and return." The officer thought about it while looking at Xuan Zhong's expression. .

"Hmph, it's all an excuse. It's clear that the county lord disrespected the order and sent a very reprimanding letter in the name of the Holy Emperor, asking Na Biyu to come to Zhongdu. If he is too sick to get up, let the county lord Personally send a car to bring him here, if the county lord disobeys again, he will increase Leng Shan's tribute by [-]% this week, I want to see how long he can last!"

"Yes." The clerk took orders from Shanruliu, and annotated Xuanzhong's order on the animal skin paper with a vermilion pen. After this imperial order was issued, even if the county monarch in Lengshan wanted to disobey, he would Weighing his family's wealth, skipping this message, the officer continued: "The Miao clan who fled to Xiyuan began to disturb the two neighboring counties again. Misfortune, deceitful words to confuse the people, bewitch the border people, the governors of the two counties requested permission for them to send troops to suppress and drive out the rebellious people."

"No," Xuan Zhong said without even thinking about it; "what are the cat monsters? It is enough for people to lead troops to patrol the border of the two counties, and kill a few cat monsters, and the rioters who have been deluded by monsters will naturally collapse without fighting."

The affairs officer obeyed respectfully, and naturally recorded Xuan Zhong's orders one by one.

After that, the officer continued to talk about several letters from the four counties. In the end, the officer talked about the new tribe that appeared in the plain in the southwest corner of the stream source. He is listed at the end.

"There is a mixed tribe named Yongtai who replaced the original roaring tribe and occupied a corner of the plain. It is said that the plain was integrated within a year..." the secretary said while looking at the summary of what he had recorded.

"The cause of this inferior miscellaneous department has to be reported, and the messenger from Xiyuan probably has no reason to report it," who knows, before the official could finish speaking, Xuan Zhong cut off his words.

When the official heard the words, he couldn't help but pause, because he clearly knew that Mr. Xuan didn't want to hear other matters about this clan.

Silently, the clerk looked at the content reported by the messenger, and hesitated to speak, because the content recorded in the letter was really shocking.

The excited messenger recorded all the actions of that tribe in a year in great detail. Not to mention the powerful military strength and combat effectiveness of this new tribe, just talk about the so-called "hunting area competition" that just ended a few days ago. An unheard of event was used to integrate a huge amount of wealth, and also brought a large number of people around the tribe. What's more, in the subsequent tribe transactions, this bold Yongtai tribe actually started to issue their own tribe's Currency, this is simply appalling, not to mention that it uses all kinds of cheap manufactured goods to force merchants to submit!

The piece of information pieced together made the knowledgeable officer sigh, and felt that this mysterious new tribe must be guarded against, but now, it is not a good time to go into details with Mr. Xuan, the officer After following the empress for a long time, I have somewhat figured out the temperament of the other party. This empress, who comes from a rich family, is quite headstrong in government affairs, and likes to make judgments based on his status when things happen. He is especially dissatisfied with those small tribes and miscellaneous tribes. From the looks of it, the clerk didn't want to make fun of himself and offend the imperial concubine for nothing.

After thinking over and over again, finally, the officer made a decision. For this new tribe that was acting treacherously, he could only make his own plans and let the messenger observe closely. If something really happened, he could remind the royal husband in advance. It's time to do your duty.

The two talked as they walked, one by one government orders were issued by Xuanzhong in this way, and soon, these government orders will be transformed into more compliant standard documents in the tone of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and will be issued to various county governments. In the imperial city of Zhongdu, the order of the emperor is the will of the emperor, and the joy and anger of the emperor represent the joy and anger of the emperor. Over the years, all the courtiers have become accustomed to it. Your lord's words are so eloquent, after all, even the honorable lord Sage Emperor is willing to be his vassal!

When the two approached the court hall, there were more and more servants around. After seeing Xuan Zhong, all the servants respectfully saluted and greeted him. Nodding to the surrounding servants, his image of generosity and benevolence was built up from little by little, and Xuan Zhong would never relax himself on these details.

Seeing that the court hall was getting closer and closer to him, Xuanzhong's footsteps quickened unconsciously. Today's court meeting is still presided over by him, and in order to announce that important event, His Majesty the Holy Emperor will also make an exception to attend the meeting. At this moment, His Majesty It should be waiting for him in the garden behind the court, and he didn't want His Majesty the Holy Emperor to wait for too long.

Thinking of what His Royal Highness the Holy Emperor will announce at the court meeting, Xuan Zhong couldn't help being complacent. His son will use a paper to sign a contract to contact the three counties and one capital. , will leave the most colorful stroke on this continent!
