While Li Huai was muttering in his heart, a similar group of people, led by a eunuch, were reading the emperor's oral edict at the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

"The officials know that Mr. Hou is good at hunting. When the time comes, Mr. Hou will have to show off his skills." The leading eunuch smiled slightly and said something to reminisce about the past.

Yongchang Hou Luo Zhiyuan laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Sir Mi, I won't be absent." Then some arrangements were made.

After a while of excitement, Luo Zhiyuan's face immediately turned gloomy as soon as the messenger left.

A person walked out next to him. He was a counselor and retainer of Marquis Yongchang, named Jia Tong.

"The official suddenly wants to go hunting. There must be a reason behind it, or it may be related to the analysis made by Marquis Dingxiang last night." Jia Teng spoke very slowly, allowing people to hear more clearly, "To sum up, we are now

The rumors we got are in all likelihood Dingxiang's words, involving several specific vassal towns."

Luo Zhiyuan's face changed slightly and asked: "Have you not gotten the details yet?"

"We haven't gotten much yet," Jia Ye shook his head, "but we have sent people to investigate."

"I can rest assured that you are doing something, but this matter is really evil right now. Originally, the officials had agreed to the proposal and asked the Privy Council to discuss the matter of mobilizing soldiers and horses from the river to Luoyang. Today, they suddenly stopped it and mentioned hunting again. I have no idea.

Such an ominous feeling." Luo Zhiyuan became increasingly uneasy as he recalled the various scenes he saw Li Huai in front of the imperial court that day.

Jia Teng knew what his master was worried about, so he explained in detail: "Dingxianghou is good at planning, the city is deep, and he is cunning and alert. He suddenly analyzed the situation and deliberately spread it. There must be a plan. Maybe

I just wanted to see who wanted to investigate, but there was such a noise and rumors. When I wanted to plan something, I had to go investigate. This is a conspiracy..."

Luo Zhiyuan's face became even more gloomy: "That's true. Therefore, this information must not be inquired directly from people close to Li Huai. As for the Liu family, Meng family, etc., with Li Huai's methods, if you want to, these unrelated families

, how can we get the information? There must be some secret agreement, but we have to avoid it. This way of finding out the information should be more roundabout..."

"My subordinates have also thought of this, so this time we mainly asked people to look for Wang Xiuxian, Wei Shao and others across several floors to prevent any unexpected events."

Luo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "One of these two people is Li Huai's brother-in-law, and the other is Li Huai's brother-in-law. They are also very close, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Jia Tong then explained: "What he said is true, but I did some crazy analysis and found that the relationship between Wang Xiuxian and the Wei family is not close. He was previously a county magistrate. In order to make friends with local powerful people, he bullied good people and did things.

After the incident, although Wei Jin helped him get away with the crime, he still gave him a warning, transferred him to Chang'an, and threw him into the small office in charge of etiquette. It was obvious that he wanted to marginalize him. How could this person be allowed to leave?

Take advantage of it and show your ambition."

He paused and then said: "As for Wei Shao, although he is also the son of Wei Shilang, he is a concubine. He is close to the concubine Wei Xiang'er, and because he is Dingxianghou, he is often ostracized in the Imperial Academy. I think it is

It’s relatively easy to break into.”

"If so, it can be used, but you have to be careful." Luo Zhiyuan nodded. "There are still few important steps to prepare for the big event at the moment. If there is an accident, it will be difficult to take action in advance..."

While I was thinking about this, someone suddenly came over to report, saying that they had gotten a lot of news.

When Jia Tong heard this, he knew the reason and said, "There is some news."

Sure enough, a lot of information was subsequently sent to the two of them.

"This Wei Shao is quite tight-lipped. It's just that he is young and has been criticized a lot." Looking at the information in his hand, Jia Yi thought thoughtfully, "When he made arrangements for the family banquet of Xianghou, he mentioned it many times.

As for the official family, they also repelled Wei Xiang'er..."

"What does this mean?" Luo Zhiyuan looked at it and thought, but he didn't know why.

"It seems that Wei Shao's knowledge is limited. When others asked him, he only said that his brother-in-law was powerful and deliberately seduced him. When he talked about military affairs, Wei Shao only said that his brother-in-law had already made plans. If someone deliberately calculated,

Talking about tactics and strategies, Wei Shao said, saying that his brother-in-law also said yesterday that everything was as expected..."

"What does this mean?" Luo Zhiyuan asked.

Jia Teng shook his head and said: "I have some speculations, but I have to look at the news from Wang Xiuxian..." After that, he looked at the book on the other side, but after reading it, his brows frowned even more.

"But what did you see?"

"Wang Xiuxian is much more straightforward," Jia Teng pushed the information in his hand over. "In the past, he was not squeezed out in the yamen, but he was not very popular. But today, many people came to him to inquire about information. This person is quite popular."

Calm, neither humble nor arrogant, he just said good things about his brother-in-law."

Luo Zhiyuan took a look at the information in his hand and shook his head: "These words are all innocuous. They are nothing more than praise for Li Huai. If there is any leakage, this is the one..."

He pointed.

"This man asked him whether the strategy that could determine peace for thirty years was a military strategist's advice. Then Wang Xiuxian said, what Li Huai said yesterday was involved in many things, and he talked with him for a long time. The two parties are very close..."

"Exactly, this sentence is the key!" Jia Yi took a deep breath, "My subordinates can more or less guess the key behind this."

"Just tell me."

"Yesterday, what Dingxiang Marquis mainly talked about was actually military matters, so Wei Shao could talk about strategy with others, otherwise his knowledge would be more than that!"

Luo Zhiyuan listened and nodded slightly.

Jia Tong said again: "It's just that military affairs alone are not enough. This Wang Xiuxian was an official in Huaixi before. Marquis Dingxiang talked with him more. My lord, have you seen Mingtang coming?"

"He is determined to find out the reality of Huaixi!" Luo Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, "I said before that there are differences between Huaixi and Biandi vassal towns. Because in the past two years, there have been constant turmoil in these two places, and the officials did not doubt it.

, but Li Huai investigated in detail..." After talking about it, he couldn't help but sneer.

"I asked about Huaixi, talked about military affairs, and finally got into a dispute with Wei Xiang'er," Jia Geng stroked his beard and smiled, "If it wasn't for the suspicion, it means that Dingxiang Hou hurt Wei Xiang'er in the end.

This woman's obedience to her husband is obviously a policy to appoint the Marquis of Xiang, which is not conducive to Wang Xiuxian's current position. Although he does not have much authority now, under the Ministry of Rites, he still has access to the annual tribute lists of various vassal towns..."

Luo Zhiyuan's expression changed again!

"Li Huai wants to explore the reality of various places from these gift books! What a profound thought!"

Then he said to Jia Geng: "Thanks to you sir, you can dig out the clues to find out the truth. Otherwise, we would have to be passive. Now that we know that Li Huai has suspicions, it is different."

Jia Teng said: "Your Majesty, after all, Marquis Dingxiang is an honorable person and a popular person of His Majesty's. Since he is pointing his sword at Your Majesty, if we make any move at this time, we will be asking for it!"
