"Secret, I'll tell you this."

Xu Jiaojiao leaned closer to her, "I decided that I will completely eradicate your Silemen in the future and uproot your roots! This secret is big enough, right? Are you not losing money, right?"

"you!"

Si Yan's eyes were about to spit out of fire, and after a while he put a word on it.

"What's the secret?!"

Xu Jiaojiao was worried about being spat and took a step back.

"Why doesn't it count? No one knew about this secret before, I didn't tell anyone, and this matter is big enough for you, and you are the first person to hear this secret. Look, you

A big profit!”

Si Yan closed her mouth tightly, she no longer wanted to speak.

Xu Jiaojiao turned around with satisfaction, ordered to clean up, and prepared to go to the clan mansion again.

...

In the study in the palace, Zhu Huang and others were discussing matters.

There were also Prime Minister Ji, Minister of War, and several important officials including Du Zhengyan, all present.

Because there was news, the Black Mountain Empire was likely to attack Daxiang Kingdom again!

It is a formal attack, not the usual kind of frequent small-scale fights.

"Their Western Route Army suffered huge losses last year, but now they are going to fight again. What a warlike empire!" Du Zhengyan sighed.

The Minister of War said: "From the information obtained, it is still the preparation stage, and there is still some time before the formal attack, but it should be soon."

Zhu Huang said: "No matter what, we have to start preparing, and we have to do it as soon as possible! Lord Ji, starting today, you have to plan thoroughly. Be sure to ensure that this battle is not lost!"

Well, you can't lose, this is what Emperor Zhu has always requested for many years.

After all, the gap in combat power between the two countries is obvious, and it is enough to maintain it. In fact, in every war, the loss of Daxiang Kingdom will be more than twice that of the other party.

But this year is a little different, and Emperor Zhu felt a little hopeful.

"Sir Qi, what's going on with the preparations for the Musket Camp now?"

"Your Majesty, the Musket Battalion has almost been trained, and there are 600 soldiers who can operate skillfully. However, there are still some problems with the musket, and we are asking the Ministry of Works to step up improvements."

Before the Minister of Works could ask, the Minister of Works took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a small problem with muskets, but we are stepping up our research and we should have time to catch up with this war."

Zhu Huang: "It should not work. You have to make sure you do it! If you have any questions, please ask Princess Yan De for more advice. Someone from her mansion reported that she had successfully given birth. In two days, you can ask for advice.

You should run more and ask more. As the saying goes, it is easy to learn, but it is difficult to understand. Don’t think about it yourself and get into a dead end!”

Minister Wan smiled bitterly, "Yes! Emperor."

Of course, he also knew to ask Princess Yan De, but sometimes there was just a little bit of a problem, so would he have to go and ask?

You are not annoyed, are they also annoyed?

Besides, the Ministry of Works also needs shame and research. You can’t just ask others not to study it?

To fight, there are many things to prepare, and the first thing to solve is food and grass.

The Daxiang Kingdom has passed the most difficult years. Emperor Zhu’s measures to strengthen the country have shown good results. The treasury has gradually become abundant and the grain harvest is also good.

The long-lasting problem of lack of money and food has always been pressing on the heads of Emperor Zhu and the Dukes like a mountain, but now it has finally been moved away from the head.

Everyone discussed for a while, set the tone, so they broke up and prepared to act separately. At this time, the eunuch informed that Lao Zongzheng was here.

After Lao Zongzheng left the Anxing County Prince's Mansion, he went straight to the palace.

It is related to the royal family, and he must seek the emperor's opinions.

However, the eunuch told him that the emperor was discussing the military, so he waited for a while.

Now that the military discussion is over, the ministers are walking out, and Lao Zong is walking in.

"Emperor, Princess Yan De came to the clan's mansion today and reported that someone in his mansion was assassinated yesterday! Because the matter is of great importance, the old minister came to report to the emperor."

After saying a word, Emperor Zhu was shocked.

The ministers who had not yet walked away were also shocked.

In fact, they should have gone far away, but these people are all human spirits. Seeing that the Lao Zong seemed to have a serious face and had major events, they all slowed down and some stopped.

I plan to listen to a corner.

Unexpectedly, I heard something big.

Du Zhengyan was particularly surprised.

Although the assassination was thrilling for Xu Jiaojiao, in fact, after Master Ji found out, it ended very quickly. It was too late at that time, and the princess's mansion did not send anyone to inform him.

Xu Jiaojiao forgot about this, and Liao Qing probably forgot about it too.

By this morning, he had already been in court early in the morning and no one had time to tell him.

Emperor Zhu's anger can be heard from afar.

"What did you say?! Another assassination happened? How was she? Who did it?"

Du Zhengyan had a calm face, turned around and walked back.

Minister Wan followed in.

Prime Minister Ji has the greatest task, so he cannot waste time, so he has to leave first. However, if such a big thing is not hidden, he will naturally hear the news soon.

Anyway, some people left, some people didn't.

Lao Zongzheng had briefly explained the incident, and finally said that Princess Yan De had already had a doubtful candidate. If it was really done by Prince Anxing's seven sons, how should the matter be handled?

"Why do you need to ask more questions? Be sure to investigate strictly and punish them severely! Also, Wen Po was ordered by the Queen Mother. He did this clearly because he did not take the Queen Mother seriously! No matter what the result, no matter who did it, this accomplice

We must be severely punished and not loaned!"

After receiving the order, Lao Zongzheng immediately surrendered and prepared to rush back.

Du Zhengyan and a few other ministers followed him and asked in a verbal manner.

"Master? What's going on? Why is there someone assassinating Princess Yan De?"

"Yes, it didn't take long after the last assassination. Why did you come again? Who is the assassin?"

"Sir, are they all okay? Are my two good grandchildren okay?"

"This assassination is said to have been done by the Black Mountain Empire! But Princess Yan De is fine, both big and small! Auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance, and the princess is a man of heaven. It is not so easy to be defeated by a slut..." Lao Zongzheng responded repeatedly and responded repeatedly.

After leaving the hall, I happened to see an official from the clan’s mansion running over panting.

"What's the matter of panic?"

Lao Zongzheng was very puzzled. His home was a Qingshui Yamen and a place for retirement. What other major events would happen?

"Sir! Princess Yan De has arrived again. The matter of saying it was an assassin has been found out and is waiting for you to go there."

"Oh? So fast?"

Lao Zongzheng replied in surprise, his feet had already moved, and he quickly got on the carriage.

"Let's go back to the clan's mansion!"

"Oh, sir, wait for us!"

Du Zhengyan and others behind also heard this and hurriedly followed.

"I'm going back to handle the case, what are you here to do?" Lao Zong said righteously.
