701. Yongzhou Secret Letter

It was drizzling rain in Changsha City, which made this historic ancient city shrouded in mist and rain.

Green willows with weeping branches, black tiles and white walls, the ancient city in the rain is filled with antique but fresh smell.

People holding oil-paper umbrellas were bustling on the streets.

The glass inside and outside the palace are very solemn.

A beautiful picture of an ancient city is really much more comfortable and quiet than a modern life with a tight rhythm.

Although, this is ancient.

In the palace, eunuchs in green robes went straight to the imperial study along the corridor.

On both sides of the eaves of the corridor, rainwater swayed down along the gaps of glazed tiles.

The banana trees, rockery, and weeping willows in the palace all look so fresh. The guards in front of the palace who are hiding from the rain are clustered in groups in the corridors or under the temples, talking and laughing.

The eunuch had a low status in the palace and was used to hunching over. But no one dared to stop these guards when they saw him.

This is the eunuch from the Pigeon Raising Department of the Military Intelligence Department.

Since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, it has been secretly responsible for inquiring about information from various places and laying down secret chess. It is also openly responsible for the transmission of military aircraft and government affairs in various places.

Military and political chiefs from all over the country communicated with the imperial court, and neither pigeon nor fast horses could cross the Military Intelligence Department.

Even Wu Lianying, the chief MIIS, has no right to read such letters.

This eunuch in charge of the Military Intelligence Department will only pass by his hands when the news of secret chess from various places conveyed to the capital.

Of course, this eunuch was not Wu Lianying at this time. He was just an ordinary eunuch in the Pigeon Raising Department, named Yi Shiyu.

This is a very feminine name.

Last time when he returned to Chongqing Prefecture to send a secret letter to Changsha, the little eunuch passed the letter to the emperor. Later, he was favored by the emperor for some reason and got the concession of the emperor. If we talk about the number of times we met the emperor, the number of times this little eunuch could meet the emperor was probably much more than that of many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court.

Yi Shiyu quickly walked outside the imperial study room, bowed slightly to the several guards at the door, and then shouted softly into it: "Emperor..."

The one who opened the door was Zhu Hecong, a small yellow gate.

Yi Shiyu bowed to Zhu Hecong again, as cautious as ever, and then walked to the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhao Dongting was sitting upright on the bed, holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand.

When he saw Yi Shiyu, he smiled, "Is the secret letter here again?"

Most of the time, the emperor is approachable and has almost no airs.

Yi Shiyu kowtowed to the ground, and honestly performed the ceremony before walking to Zhao Dongting, pulling out a secret letter from her sleeve and handing it over.

Zhao Dongting opened the letter and looked at it, with a faint expression, but suddenly turned around and looked out the window.

The banana leaves outside the window were beaten up in the sound of rain.

Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang, and Yi Shiyu didn't dare to speak easily when they saw the emperor's appearance.

After a while, I heard the emperor say, "Go down!"

Yi Shiyu slowly retreated from the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting was still looking out the window, trance.

There are two pieces of paper in the secret letter.

First, a beautiful beauty went to Hengshan Village, which caused the three families of Rong, Chu and Ding in the city to fight. The Chu family invited the beauty to the mansion. The personal guards of the Guangwang Mansion went to the Chu family and took the beauty and the head of the Chu family to the palace. The head of the Chu family was convicted of forcing the daughter of the people on the street and was punished by a stick. The beauty had no news anymore.

The second is a portrait.

No signature.

Since he is nameless.

Calculate the time, it has been a while since Wuming went to Hengshan Village.

This is the first secret letter he sent back.

There was no news of Prince Guang's conspiracy to rebel, but this secret letter made Zhao Dongting even more intriguing.

The mastery of painters these days cannot be underestimated, and Yu Linglong's appearance is vividly revealed on paper. Zhao Dongting, who already has a superb memory, has never forgotten this stunning beauty.

But I don’t know what Yu Linglong intended to use this method to sneak into Prince Guang’s Mansion.

Does she want to instigate King Guang?

Zhao Dongting couldn't think of any other reason.

Now that the war between the countries has just begun to end, if nothing unexpected happens, they will do some secret activities. This is inevitable.

Even after he signed a peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty, the spies sent by the MIIS to the Yuan Dynasty have not stopped, right?

Differentiation and counter-revolution, these soft knives are not much less powerful than fighting on the battlefield.

With the troops of Yongzhou, if King Guang was instigated to rebel, it would not be able to shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty. However, as King Guang was in his capacity as King Guang, if he rebeled, his influence would be extremely huge.

The moment Zhao Dongting saw the letter, he wanted to send a letter to remind Zhao Bing, but he stopped this idea in a flash.

He was not sure what King Guang was thinking. This half-brother planned to break the gold with him, and had other ideas. Zhao Dongting had no legal conclusion yet.

And the more important thing is that Wuming has sent the news back now, but there is no movement on the MIIS, which is not normal.

Yu Linglong entered Hengshan Village and caused a sensation in the city and finally landed in the Prince Guang Mansion. There was no reason for the spies from the Military Intelligence Department to know about this.

Wu Lianying.

Zhao Bing.

Zhao Dongting withdrew his gaze from outside the window and slowly wrote down the two names on the rice paper on the desk.

Later, he placed the rice paper on an oil lamp and burned it to ashes, "He Cong, Xuan and Wu Lianying came to see you."

Wu Lianying, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, arrived soon.

The old eunuch who served the Song Dynasty palace for decades was so gloomy that he could not hide his gloomy aura, but he looked like a real old slave in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting walked off the dragon couch, asked Wu Lianying to get up, and asked Wu Lianying, "Eunuch Wu, can you submit a secret letter from Yuan, Li, and Shu in the past few days?"

Wu Lianying shook her head gently, "Report to the emperor, there is no new news."

Since Zhao Dongting arrived in Changsha, the Song Dynasty issued and implemented many new policies to develop national strength. Naturally, the Yuan, Li, Xixia and others were not idle.

The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, regarded the Song Dynasty as the top enemy, and gradually began to shrink its power and had close contacts with the four major Mongolian vassal states.

Dali also imitated the Song Dynasty and implemented the new policy. It reclaimed wasteland in China, left and left to the tomb, and vigorously promoted agricultural development. Many new policies were widely praised in China.

After the empress of Xixia ascended the throne, she also implemented many new policies with iron fist methods, most of which targeted the domestic army, which was considered to be a formal control of the various military departments of Xixia.

Tuoba Xiong, He Liandong and others were never able to leave Zhongxing Mansion again. They were held high and held important positions on the surface, but in fact, they could be said to have been hostages.

There was no movement in Shuzhong, which was already rich.

"oh……"

Zhao Dongting heard Wu Lianying's answer and responded softly, "What new news is there in China and Liuqiu and other places?"

“No, either.”

Wu Lianying answered in a low voice, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask about this?"

Every day, eunuchs from the Military Intelligence Department would pass secret letters to the imperial study room. It is logical that the royal family did not need to ask him about these things. Wu Lianying was naturally confused.

Zhao Dongting shook his head slightly and said, "No. I just suddenly felt a little restless, worried that something was happening..."

Wu Lianying said: "Maybe the emperor has been too hard recently, and the country has been prosperous and the people have been safe recently, so there should be no situation."

"I hope this is better."

Zhao Dongting twisted his neck.

Wu Lianying bowed with great eyesight, "Will the old slave take his leave first?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said no more.

Wu Lianying stepped out of the imperial study room. As soon as he left the room, his eyes suddenly became extremely deep.

Leaving again will make you look a little hurried than when you come.

He has been a slave in the palace for decades, and he may not understand other principles, but he is a little clear that no matter what the emperor said, it cannot be aimless.

Zhao Dongting suddenly asked him what was happening at home and abroad recently, which was obviously because he was already a little dissatisfied with his MIIS, or in other words, he did not trust him.

As soon as Wu Lianying left, Zhao Dongting followed him away from the imperial study room and returned to the bedroom.

The eunuch in the bedroom received the order and went to the empress dowager's harem to invite the empress dowager to have a meal in the bedroom.

The rain has not stopped.

A carrier pigeon rose in the palace in the rain and headed towards Yongzhou.

The old eunuch Wu Lianying sat in the Military Information Office, drinking and drinking, finally left his seat and kowtowed towards the palace.

Concubine Yang Shu arrived at Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

As soon as I entered the palace, the first thing I did was to go to the room to visit Zhang Ru, who was pregnant.

Zhang Ru's belly is becoming more and more round than before.

Ying'er and Zhao Dongting followed by, Ying'er blushed and gently pulled Zhao Dongting's hem.

Zhao Dongting chuckled knowingly and whispered in the beauty's ear: "I will take you out of the palace tonight."

The beauty's pretty face looks even more blushing.
