Chang Hong knelt down and already knew about Concubine Pei.
"Send the imperial army out, hold my decree, and unite with the yamen of various states and counties. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must bring Pei Yao back to me!"
"Yes!" Chang Hong raised his hand.
"Wait." Qin Yun called him again.
"Especially the place of Pei Yao's ancestral home, we must search carefully. Anyone who dares to hide will be guilty of conspiracy!"
Chang Hong's face turned serious: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am humble enough to send the most elite imperial army."
Qin Yun waved his hand, feeling irritable.
After Chang Hong left, he stayed in place for a long time, and then he went to change his clothes, put on casual clothes and left the palace.
Today, the only people around him were Feng Lao, Tao Yang, and a few shadow guards hiding in the dark.
All the way to Sihai Restaurant, Murong Shunhua hasn't arrived yet.
He ordered a pot of daughter's red wine, cut a few kilograms of soy sauce beef, and Qin Yun started eating.
"Have you heard? Tonight's Pinghu Poetry Contest!" A scholar holding a feather fan said with a smile.
"I heard that all the scholars in the imperial capital will attend, and people from the three major academies will also come, such as Gu Chuntang, Li Mu and other famous talents."
“There are also grand events such as flower boat rowing, lantern lighting, and poetry and riddle guessing.”
"Haha, I must compose a poem, come out on top, become famous all over the imperial capital, and win the beauty back home!"
Qin Yun became interested as he listened to the discussions going around in the restaurant.
"Is Gu Chuntang going too?"
Qi Yong recommended this person last time, and even Wei Zheng was full of praise for him. It should be said that he has real talent and learning.
"Mr. Feng, what are the origins of these three major academies?"
Mr. Feng bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the three major academies are Yangchun, Qiuyue, and Ruoshui. They were once the places where the late emperor relied most on sages. They have countless books and have produced many capable ministers over the past hundred years."
"In the eyes of Daxia scholars, these three places are the highest institutions of learning."
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Then do you think it's appropriate to choose the prime minister from here?"
Mr. Feng nodded without hesitation.
"Well, let's go back to the palace later tonight. Let's go to the poetry club to be busy. By the way, we can meet Gu Chuntang, a great talent who is famous all over the world."
"If he is really as good as the rumors, strong in civility and virtuous, I wouldn't mind letting him enter the court to give it a try." Qin Yun said with a smile.
Mr. Feng was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, there are many people in the Poetry Club, and this is a troubled time. You..."
Qin Yun waved his hand: "It's okay, there are shadow guards here, I'm not afraid."
Mr. Feng had no choice but to nod and suggested: "Then let Captain Tao dispatch another group of forbidden troops?"
Qin Yun shook his head: "No!"
"I'm on a private visit incognito. Wherever I go there is an army. What's going on?"
"By the way, I also want to experience the people's sentiments personally and see what kind of person I am in the eyes of scholars all over the world, so that I can govern the country in the future."
Mr. Feng and Tao Yang looked at each other and could only nod.
At this time.
Feng Lao's ears were silent and he whispered softly: "Your Majesty, people are here."
Qin Yun glanced at Tao Yang, who immediately put on a bamboo hat to hide his identity. Because he had invited Murong Shunhua into the palace not long ago in Yunzhou, and Murong knew that he was the emperor's man.
The last time Murong beat Zhang Hu, luckily she didn't notice Tao Yang, otherwise Qin Yun's identity would have been revealed.
I saw that Murong Shunhua's white clothes were more beautiful than the snow.
Appearing at the top of the stairs, she glanced briefly and then came towards Qin Yun.
Her temperament is unique, and she seems to have a fairy spirit when she walks, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Miss Murong, you are late." Qin Yun was happy to see her again and smiled.
Murong Shunhua sat down and said calmly: "It's you who are early, it's not me who is late."
Qin Yun helped her pour tea with his own hands and said, "From Miss Murong's tone, I guess things have made some progress?"
She simply took out a ledger from her sleeve without any fuss. It was very thick and old.
Qin Yun's eyes lit up instantly!
Even his breathing became faster. He subconsciously reached out to take it. Murong Shunhua closed his palm, but he missed it.
Qin Yun smiled coquettishly, took back his hand and said, "Miss Murong, what do you mean?"
"What do you think?" Murong Shunhua looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and said coldly: "I helped you get the things. It's your turn to fulfill your promise."
"We clear the currency and no one owes anyone anything."
Qin Yun curled his lips and said: "You are so afraid of me cheating, why do you cooperate with me?"
"Speaking of which, your martial arts skills are so high that even my men are no match for you. What are you still afraid of?"
Murong Shunhua raised his eyebrows, not to mention the charm of a daughter: "This is the rule of the world. Let's say everything in advance and then we won't mess up."
"All right."
Qin Yun nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Then you also want to show me the authenticity of the account book, right? If you cheat me with a fake one, wouldn't I be drawing water from a bamboo basket in vain?"
"You have so many things to do?!" Murong Shunhua frowned a little displeased. She hated verbose people. If it wasn't for cooperation, she wouldn't want to talk to Qin Yun.
Qin Yun took a sip of tea and made a "please do it" expression.
Murong Shunhua frowned and had no choice but to take out the account book.
Qin Yun made no move and signaled Mr. Feng to check.
The old and withered hands grabbed the account book and looked at it carefully. There was shock and joy in his cloudy eyes.
Murong Shunhua took a deep look at Feng Lao. Judging from her knowledge and ability, she felt that this unattractive old man was a great threat.
"Your Majesty...Master, the account book is correct. It is signed by Wang Wei. It is what you want." Mr. Feng put the account book on the table.
Hearing this, the corners of Qin Yun's mouth raised, and his eyes bloomed with bright light.
With this thing, it would be enough to at least raid Wang Wei's home.
Murong Shunhua took back the account book and asked: "When will you send me to the palace?"
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yun's mouth: "I have to prepare for this. After all, you are going to assassinate the Holy Emperor. If you are not careful, my whole family will lose their heads after you."
Murong didn't object, and a hint of disdain appeared on her red lips: "Didn't you say you can let me in at any time? You also said that you can do whatever I want."
"Yes, I said it." Qin Yun said seriously: "But, I need some preparation time, right?"
"Then come to Sihai Restaurant to see me when you are ready. I will give you the account book after entering the palace. I will take my leave now." Murong Shunhua stood up calmly.
"etc!"
Qin Yun immediately stopped her and said, "Miss Murong, don't leave. Who should I take to the palace tonight if you leave?"
Murong turned around, his starry eyes slightly cold: "Are you kidding me?"
"Hehe, I didn't." Qin Yun smiled and spread his hands and said, "Tonight I will go to the poetry meeting. After the poetry meeting, I will enter the palace to meet the saint."
"When the time comes, you can take my carriage and sneak in. This is the easiest and fastest way. Just in case you can't be found, why don't you go to the poetry club with me in the evening?"
Murong Shunhua's beautiful eyes flashed and he said, "Are you sure it's possible?"
"Do you think I'm lying?" Qin Yun spread his hands.
Murong Shunhua smiled coldly, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he only uttered one word.
