Xu Wei is here? Lin Wanrong nodded, not surprised. Judging from King Cheng's reaction yesterday, there should be unusual movements in Beijing these few days, and Lao Xu was afraid that he came here specifically for this.

Looking at the graceful figure of the eldest young lady, he pondered for a while, then strode towards the front hall. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Xu Wei with a sad face and bloodshot eyes, walking back and forth in the hall. , the ground tea cup next to it didn't move, it had cooled down for a long time.

"Oh, my little brother Dilin, you can come out." Seeing his figure, Xu Wei hurried over and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Xu, it's early." Lin Wanrong smiled and hugged her fists: "It's such a good spring day, why don't you sleep for a while, and come here to visit when you have time."

Xu Wei smiled wryly and shook his head: "The old man has a hard life. From yesterday to this morning, he has been discussing matters with the emperor in the palace, and he has not closed his eyes until now. How can you be as free as you are?" He paused slightly and looked around. After a while, seeing that no one was passing by, he slowly lowered his voice and said: "Not much nonsense, the emperor already knew about the assassination you were assassinated last night, and the emperor also read the assassin's confession. Little brother, you really have the courage to do that. You can also ask the question? Do you know what the consequences will be if this piece of paper is revealed?"

"Consequences?" Lin Wanrong smiled slightly: "I only react to what I see and hear. As for the consequences, it is the emperor and Mr. Xu who are the pillars of the land that need to be considered, not the scope of the land that I am in charge of."

After listening to him shirking the responsibility in a few words, Xu Wei laughed twice: "Little brother Lin is too outside, you want to stay out of it now, I'm afraid it's impossible. Li Tai's army is about to leave, and the situation in Beijing is turbulent, for the time being. Not to mention that you are the quick son-in-law of the two princesses, and you are the one and only noble consort of my Dahua, who enjoys all the bliss, and just because the person behind the scenes hates you, you can never be alone. Tell me to tell you. When I handed over the form last night, I had the intention to pour some lamp oil on this raging fire—"

"Look at what Mr. Xu said, look at my honest and honest appearance, am I the kind of person who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos?" Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, very proud.

Honest? I'm afraid this has nothing to do with you, Lin San. Xu Wei and him are also old friends. Knowing a lot about Lin Wanrong's tricks, I despised this thick-skinned boy like a city wall in my heart, but made a kind smile on his face. "That's right, that's right. If the world is in chaos, it won't do you or me any good. It will only harm the people and make those who are interested in taking advantage of it." He glanced outside and whispered, "Little Brother Lin, I came to look for you today, just because I have something to tell you—"

Lin Wanrong nodded and said calmly, "But it has something to do with the palace?"

Xu Wei was startled and looked him up and down: "How do you know, little brother? Could it be that you can pinch it?"

"I'll count ass." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "It's the eldest lady who told me, and I think it's also Brother Xu, you deliberately revealed your tone, your trick to confuse the enemy, but first coax us ourselves."

Xu Wei smiled awkwardly. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, "Little Brother Lin. There has been an accident in the palace these few days - someone is going to murder the emperor!!!"

Murder the emperor? ! Lin Wanrong let out a sigh, faintly feeling that something was wrong. At this time, Li Tai's army was still in the capital, and the Gyeonggi region was strictly guarded. Who would be foolish enough to murder the emperor at this time? After a few days, Li Tai's army went north and the capital was empty. That was the time to start. He seemed to understand a little bit, and looked at Xu Wei with a mysterious smile: "Mr. Xu. Who is going to murder the emperor? Is he okay?!"

"A eunuch on duty in the palace, taking advantage of the emperor's work in the imperial study room to review the memorials late at night, actually lit a candle in the study room!" Xu Wei snorted and gritted his teeth: "Fortunately, God bless my emperor, a palace maid on duty. Discovering his conspiracy, he shouted loudly, and the guards in the palace arrived and took the eunuch down on the spot, but the imperial study room was half burned. Although the emperor was not injured, the shock was not shallow, and Longyan was furious, The foreman of the guards and the chief of internal affairs were replaced overnight, and several chief soldiers of the city defense area were also dismissed and investigated--"

Xu Wei's words stopped abruptly here, and Lin Wanrong sighed, realizing something, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu hasn't finished speaking yet, has there been a change in the court?"

"Little brother is really smart." Xu Wei gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "In the past month, the emperor has unknowingly cleaned up the three pavilions and six departments, and recently appointed a group of servants and bachelors. In the name of investigating corruption, he successively dismissed several scholars from the Ministry of Rites and Wenyuan Pavilion, and in these people's homes, a total of more than 500,000 taels of embezzled money, jewelry, and bills were found—"

This is what the emperor is doing. Lin Wanrong nodded: "Mr. Xu, the personnel of the court have changed so much in the past few days, and no one has interceded to oppose it?"

"There is a place to oppose, and King Cheng entered the palace for three consecutive days to plead for a whole bunch of people." Xu Wei laughed, and a stern look flashed in his eyes: "Little brother, you don't have much contact with the DPRK, and you probably don't understand it. The few people who have been dismissed are more or less related to the prince, or his disciples, or who have been promoted by him, are inextricably linked!"

Xu Wei's words were so candid, he obviously had insight into the emperor's intentions. This tactic of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot, splitting his branches and breaking his arms, made it clear that he wanted to force King Cheng to do something.

"Since yesterday, the 50,000 guards guarding the capital have sealed the city gates and are on duty day and night. Before the departure of Li Tai's army, they are only allowed to enter the capital, not to leave. In addition, the emperor also traveled from Shandong and Hebei. 30,000 troops have been transferred to be in charge of the defense of Gyeonggi - little brother, great things can be expected!"

Xu Wei finished speaking in one breath, unable to hide the excitement in his heart, picked up the long-cold tea cup next to him, gulped a few sips, drank the tea to the bottom, and wiped the corner of his mouth with a sigh of relief.

The matter is obvious. Dahua will use the whole country's strength to fight the Hu people to the death. The old emperor will never allow a bomb to be buried in the court. How many days before Tai's departure? Wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss if this caused a great chaos and led to the enemy being attacked on both sides?

Lin Wanrong frowned and pondered deeply, Xu Wei seemed to see through his thoughts. He smiled slightly: "Little brother, to tell you the truth, the guards in Gyeonggi were frequently mobilized a few days ago, and the emperor suddenly announced to investigate the case of corruption, not only the old man, All the colleagues in the court were shocked. At the critical moment when Li Tai's army was about to leave, everyone wanted to maintain the stability of the situation. No one could have imagined that the emperor would suddenly rectify the rules of the court. Just imagine, if the ulterior motive leader wants to make a move, he must I won't choose Li Taishang in Beijing. Everyone thinks of this exclusive first release of mobile access, but the emperor does the opposite. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attacking them, this method, this momentum, is what we should do. A courtier, I don’t even dare to think about it.”

Xu Wei's analysis made sense. When an emperor, he should have these thunderous means. Lin Wanrong nodded, admiring the old emperor's courage and scheming: "Mr. Xu. According to you, the righteous master has been trapped in the in the capital?"

"That's natural." Xu Wei laughed proudly: "The emperor suddenly took action. Everyone was caught off guard, how could he avoid it? Right now, there are people under close surveillance in his government office, and not a single fly can fly away."

"Then is there anything unusual about him?"

Xu Wei shook his head: "In the early morning today, he was still chatting and laughing with all of his colleagues, and he couldn't see any abnormality-every big traitor must have his own abnormality, if it is easy for people to see his mind, then he is not a sincere king. "

There is some truth to this. It is absolutely impossible to put your mind on the face of the city government of the King of Cheng. Seeing Xu Wei's brows dancing, Lin Wanrong said with a serious face: "Mr. Xu, now is not the time to be happy. King Cheng has worked hard for many years, and he will never Sit back and wait, there will definitely be violent storms brewing behind you calmly, please tell the emperor that you must be careful and careful."

"Don't worry, little brother, everything is safe. Now we just have to wait for the thief to take action." Xu Wei nodded slowly, and took out a small yellow fold from his arms: "This is a secret letter from the emperor to you. Brother must do this well, then Miss Xiao will count it as the reward he advanced to you. After you read this secret order, this old man will destroy it immediately."

Lin Wanrong laughed dumbly, this old man is really not at a disadvantage, the eldest lady is the land you captured, the benefit of you giving me the land is like saying nothing. Shaking his head, he took out the secret letter, but it was an ordinary piece of paper. The ground is clean and white, with a line of small characters on it: "A traitor? Siblings? Only my father's entrustment, I can't forget, dare not forget, I will deal with it! Don't let me down."

There are only a few words, no title or signature, but it is a hot potato, which Lin Wanrong can't push, let alone accept. The old man trusts me. He gave me such a big problem. He sighed, his face full of expression. have no choice.

"Little brother, are you finished?" Xu Wei asked cautiously.

Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and shook his head: "Brother Xu, to tell you the truth, the emperor arranged for me to do an almost impossible errand. I'd rather not see this letter."

"What are you humble about, your little brother Lin's skills are well known in the world, if it's a simple matter, the emperor can still come to take care of you?" Xu Wei laughed, lit the fire book himself, and set the letter on fire.

After negotiating with Xu Wei, as long as King Cheng is trapped in the capital, even if he does not take the initiative to attack, the emperor will still have a backhand to force him to a dead end. With the old man's scheming and the city government, Lin Wanrong is convinced of this. The two sides are tugging, and it is not known who will take the first shot, but one thing is certain, a major event must happen in the next few days.

"Little Brother Lin, what else do you have to explain? The emperor has told you, this big event, the old man will listen to you." Although the atmosphere in the capital is tense, both parties are well aware of it, but the emperor has not yet The imperial edict was promulgated to tell the world that Xu Wei was going to deal with King Cheng, and some teachers were unknown.

This is good. If you don't eat mutton, you will also get a show , and there is no psychological barrier. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I didn't say anything, I just followed the emperor's intention and kept an eye on them. If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. If he moves, he will kill me. In addition, ask the defense brothers outside the city to push out ten miles, strengthen the patrol, and not let a mosquito out of the city."

Xu Wei responded, he had seen Lin San's resourcefulness with his own eyes, and he was his enemy, and he had not seen anyone who had a good end.

"Little brother, there is another private matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not to talk about it?" Xu Wei hesitated for a while before speaking, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Lin Wanrong said hehe: "Mr. Xu, why are you so polite? You know, I have always been in charge of public and private affairs."

Xu Wei nodded: "Little brother, what happened to you and Zhi'er? I met the general in the court today, and he told me that Zhi'er treated you so slowly yesterday, so I don't know why. When you were in Shandong , Don't you get along very well, I heard that - hehe, Hu Bugui has already told me - how can it be like this now?"

Falling in love is like this, making troubles and breaking up is normal. Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly: "Miss Xu's mood swings have been a little unusual recently, and it's unpredictable. I don't know much about girls' minds, Mr. Xu. You know that too."

Listening to his words, Lao Xu almost vomited blood, doesn't he understand the girl's mind? It's really a shame for you, Lin San, to say it out loud, which of your wives are not tricked by your sweet words.

"Little brother," Xu Wei sighed, his eyes moist: "Zhi'er's life is ruined by a fool like me. I'm already old, and I have nothing to pursue. In my lifetime, I just want to see Zhi'er happy. Once I smile once, I'm satisfied. Can you please help me?"

Xu Weiyan was sincere, and Lin Wanrong was greatly moved: "Helping others is the foundation of happiness. Even if I sacrifice my color, I have no regrets. Mr. Xu, tell me, when will you do it?"

This kid is extremely thick-skinned, Xu Wei sighed, and felt as if he was sending his daughter into the tiger's mouth. He hesitated for a while, and then he said: "Today is Zhi'er's birthday, can you go see her on my behalf? Don't worry, What kind of gift cakes and rouge gouache to buy, all of them will be paid by the old man."
