This shortcoming was first known to Zongzheng, and then he informed Princess Di. Princess Di, who had obtained the wealth of the Jin army, was always in need of money, so she sent her scribe Tang Sheng to take action and sent money to Yin Ping several times, and every time The amount was always one hundred thousand taels, and over time the two became friends. Then, with money opening the way, some information about the palace was sold at various prices.
At first, Yin Ping didn't care. There were so many people giving him money. Who didn't know that he was Yan Fu's godson and a close servant of the emperor? Besides, he just told the other party some gossip about the palace. , it can be regarded as an equal exchange, no one owes anything to anyone. But until this day Tang Sheng found him and actually directly revealed his identity, but it really scared him.
As a person close to the emperor, he naturally knew Emperor Qianwen's attitude towards Princess Beidi. Once he knew that he had contact with the other party, he would be killed without asking any questions. At this moment, he was scared out of his mind. of cold sweat.
Tang Sheng's last trip to Jicheng was a failure. This time, in order to make up for his mistakes, he made all preparations. If Yin Ping did not cooperate, he was also ready to kill him. He did not expect that things would turn out badly. It was so smooth. Just after telling him his origin, the other party was so frightened that he knew that the other party was really scared.
"Eunuch Yin, after all, everything is fake, only money is real. It is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. You serve the emperor every day. You never know which day, if a small thing is not done well, your life will be gone. .And now there is an opportunity to make a lot of money right in front of you. With this money, even if something happens to Emperor Qianwen one day, you have these, you can just find a place, and you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life. What a good thing it is to serve others, father-in-law, you should think about it carefully."
In the face of money, few people have the ability to resist, let alone people like Yin Ping who have no roots at all. The so-called loyalty is not worth mentioning. After Tang Sheng showed a card of 500,000 taels After paying the bill, he finally lowered his head, and soon conveyed a very important piece of information, that is, the emperor seemed to be suspicious of the chief of the Emperor's Guard.
Suspicion is sometimes really important. It just appears for no reason. Once it appears, it is difficult to eliminate. After learning this information, the former Princess Di was overjoyed and decided to take the risk to meet Dai Mubai, try to convince the other party.
In dealing with Emperor Qianwen, if Dai Mubai can be persuaded to use him, even if he is in a neutral attitude, that would be a great thing. Even if there is a chance, it is to take some risks, in the eyes of the former Princess Di It's worth coming.
At night in Dai Mansion, Dai Mubai, who was sitting in the wing room, suddenly opened his eyes and placed his right hand on the bedside involuntarily, where he had his sword. "My friend who came from nowhere is here. , why not show up and meet?”
"Hahaha, the chief guard's skills are so admirable." Amidst the laughter, Shen Tuwei appeared, and behind him, the former Princess Di, who was disguised as a man, also held a fan and stepped forward to appear. .

Sioux City.
The battle on the front was in full swing. After Yuan Zhong, the prince of Qi Dynasty, obtained the formula of Tianlei, he hired craftsmen to make the finished product for use in the army, giving a head-on blow to the Daqian army attacking Su City. In addition, other vassal kings He also sold a lot of knives, weapons, and food to Yuan Zhong, so that the offensive and defensive battle in Suzhou was in full swing, consuming the strength of the Qian army step by step.
In the rear, King Xiang in Su City was still living a peaceful life of singing and dancing. He was provided with good food and drink every day. The only thing that made people unhappy was the loss of freedom.
No matter how stupid King Xiang is, he knows that he has become a bargaining chip. Once Yuan Zhong's army is defeated by Da Qian's army, he may send it back to Daliang City to exchange benefits for Yuan Zhong. On the contrary, if Da Qian's army is defeated , I will be of no use, and I am afraid I will die as well.
After there was no future and no bright tomorrow, King Xiang was still worried day and night at first, but as time went by, he simply lost his mind and simply stopped thinking about anything, and just ate, drank, played and enjoyed in the dark. The last period of life.
King Xiang was in decline, and all the so-called loyal staff left under various excuses. The only ones left were the eunuch chief Wang Yu and the bodyguard Chang Zhang.
It is said that the notorious Qin Hui still has three good friends. It is rare for King Xiang to have two people who will never leave him even after he has been around for so long. It is a pity that the current King Xiang does not have any power or money. Silver, otherwise, I'm afraid I would really reward these two loyal slaves.
That night, King Xiang changed his clothes and got ready to rest with Wang Yu waiting on him. He drank too much and it was difficult for him to even stand and staggered a little. Suddenly, there were bursts of shouts of death coming from outside the courtyard. He had drunk too much just now. King Xiang, who couldn't find the southeast and northwest, was half drunk and asked in surprise, "Xiao Yuzi, is Yuan Zhong, the traitor, afraid that someone will come and kill me, right?"
As he spoke, Prince Xiang hid behind Wang Yu. Although doing so would not help at all, his instinct still made him want to find someone to rely on.
At this time, Wang Yu's face was also pale. He didn't know what was going on outside, but his intuition told him that it must not be a good thing, so he didn't know how to comfort his master. Fortunately, the guard Zhang Zhang rushed to the scene. He came in, holding a long sword in his hand and said: "Your Highness, don't panic, Zhang is here."
"Okay, Guard Captain Zhang is commendable for his loyalty." The moment he saw Zhang Ji, King Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. But then a stream of blood spattered out and hit his face, which made him unable to bear it. screamed.
Zhang Gai, who looked very majestic just now, was slowly falling to the ground at this moment. On his neck, a bloody mouth was dripping with blood. It looked like he was dead. Already.
"Ah!" This time, not only King Xiang, but also Wang Yu screamed. But then a man in black with a sword appeared in front of them, "Your Highness, King Xiang, please stop shouting. Let’s take a trip with someone.”
"Ah!" In fear, King Xiang Xiang and Wang Yu did not hear what the man in black said clearly. Until the man in black impatiently swung his sword, and a line of blood appeared on Wang Yu's neck. After falling to the ground, King Xiang finally became honest and said, "Don't kill me. I will go with you. I will go with you."
...
Jicheng.
An urgent piece of information was delivered to Tang Ao. It was a message from Fan Bai, the second shopkeeper of Guochanglong who was staying in Daliang City.
Tang Ao glanced at the tightly sealed wax oil, and gently pulled it open, and the contents above were displayed in his eyes. Soon, Tang Ao's eyes were deeply wrinkled, and then he thought of what to say. Shi Lei on the side said: "Go and inform Tie Long to come see me."
Fan Bai from the intelligence department made it very clear. News came from his insider buried in Daqian Bank, saying that many people came to exchange silver coins these days, so that the silver in Daqian Bank was reduced by 60%. many.
Although Fan Bai was unable to find out which party the person who took the silver belonged to, Tang Ao knew that it must have been King Zhong who took action.
Tang Ao had made this idea before. Ning Cheng was also in Daqian Bank, and Prince Zhong had also deposited a lot of money in the bank, so he naturally had a lot of banknotes. And if he took this opportunity, It was really easy for him to take advantage of Daqian Bank in Daliang City. The only difference was that doing so would make him fall out with Emperor Qianwen.
If it were another vassal king, he would still be more scrupulous if he said he wanted to fall out with the emperor. But Prince Zhong was the one who led troops to attack Daliang City. Would he care about the emperor's opinion? In other words, sooner or later, the matter of taking silver from another place would happen. happened, and once this happened, it meant that the economy of Daliang City might have big problems in the future, and that King Zhong might go to war with the emperor again.
Although it is true that Emperor Qianwen was Tang Ao's father, he was given almost nothing except this skin. Tang Ao would not care about Emperor Qianwen's life or death, as if the other party never cared about his son. Life and death are ordinary. But there are people Tang Ao cares about in Daliang City, and they must not have any problems.
The so-called plan for a rainy day, now that King Zhong has taken action against the bank, turmoil in Daliang City is about to occur. The time has come for Tang Ao to take action. He wants to protect the safety of the people he cares about, and this task is left to Long Ya It is the most appropriate thing to do.
At the same time, Tang Ao also thought about the Quartet Army that had arrived in Goryeo, and they had to hurry up to get them on the Park family's ship to go to the south by sea to buy grain. Once civil strife breaks out in Daliang City, it will probably spread to the entire country. Daqian, in troubled times, food is the basis of survival. If you don't prepare in advance, buying food will not only be more expensive, but also more difficult. Thinking of this, Tang Ao came to the desk and wrote to Feng Wan Li wrote a secret letter.
The birds were sent out personally by a sea holly. Through the continuous efforts of the people of the Pigeon Yard, some powerful birds also had the same functions as homing pigeons, which allowed the Jizhou Army to convey orders faster.
Dagan, a city with poorly developed transportation, would have taken half a month or even longer to get from Jicheng to Goryeo if a messenger was sent. Thanks to Hai Dongqing's efforts, the news was delivered within just two days. Sent to the Quartet Army.
Ten miles outside Goryeo Jinhae City, a new military camp has been built here. The cement has not been transported yet, and only some tall logs are used as a basis to separate the military camp. But even so, it is far away. From a distance, it looks quite impressive.
In particular, a Shen's giant crossbow stretched out every five feet away, making it even more powerful.
