Chapter 29 Infiltrate the Palace

Lu Yijian was very puzzled. He had never heard of anyone writing down the matter of reconciliation. Originally, reconciliation was about both parties easing off and trusting each other. If so, what else could there be to reconcile?

In fact, he didn't know that Ye An came from an era when evidence was needed everywhere, and it was also an era when people were on guard. Caution had become synonymous there.

The thought of establishing words as evidence has been deeply imprinted into Ye An's heart, not to mention that he was also afraid of being tricked. The old foxes in the court were very clever.

No matter how good your personal ethics are, Lu Yijian, people who are entangled with politics are not bound by their personal ethics.

Not to mention ancient politics, even in an era when later generations claim to have reached the peak of civilization, politics is still the most untrustworthy pronoun. Ye An is not stupid enough to be grateful for Dade's reconciliation just because of a drink from Lu Yijian. There is nothing so cheap in the world!

"You can talk empty talk and use words as evidence. Only in this way can Changsheng feel at ease! What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yijian was reluctant to write down the documents at first, which was simply an insult to his personality, but in Ye An's eyes, these old-timers in officialdom had no personality at all.

Breaking trust is even their "basic habit".

Although he also wanted to ease the relationship with Lu Yijian, he was really scared of being deceived by these old foxes. He once said that he had no conflict with him! But later on, didn't he team up with Wang Zeng to trick him?

At Ye An's insistence, Lu Yijian finally felt that if he could not reconcile with Ye An today, then it would be in vain and he would not be able to get Ye An's help.

Lu Yijian had his own calculations in mind. The most important reason for his reconciliation with Ye An was the many newspapers in his hands. Lao Lu keenly captured the impact of these newspapers on public opinion.

The incident of Zhao Yuanyan is the best example. Even if Ye An does not use newspapers to help him regain his appearance, it is already the best if it does not prevent him from regaining his appearance.

In the end, Lu Yijian made a compromise and gave a written statement that satisfied Ye An, and Ye An reciprocated the favor. While praising Lu Yijian, he also wrote a written note to ensure that the past feud would be settled.

The exchange of two documents can be regarded as mutual supervision. The documents have the private seals of both parties and cannot be faked.

After the negotiation was completed, Ye An was about to leave. Lu Yijian was dissatisfied and said, "How come you can't even drink a few drinks with me?"

"What did Mr. Lu say? It's just that I have been too busy recently. The Imperial City Division is favored by the officials, and the Palace Front Division and the Guards and Military Division are very jealous! The officials summoned me to the palace and did not dare to delay!"

"Since there are state affairs, let's go to Changsheng!"

After Lu Yijian finished speaking, she saw Ye An turning around and leaving. She curled her lips in dissatisfaction and didn't dare to delay. If she really didn't dare, she wouldn't have come to see her first...

Ye An has indeed been very busy recently. He has become more honest since he threatened Zhao Yuanyan, but such honesty does not reassure Ye An. He is still very concerned about the safety of the Tian family.

Almost everyone thinks that the palace is the safest place and no one will worry about it. However, only those who really understand know that this so-called internal ban is actually full of loopholes.

The strict access control is only insurmountable for those who abide by the rules, but it is not insurmountable for "those who are thoughtful".

After threatening Zhao Yuanyan this time, Ye An was worried that he would jump over the wall in a hurry. Although it was unlikely, he still strengthened the Imperial City Division's defense of the palace.

Patrolling is the simplest and most effective way. Strengthen patrols and sentry systems. The soldiers of the Imperial City Division are idle anyway. After training, they will station themselves on the palace walls and access control stations. At the same time, it is still necessary to patrol key arteries.

Of course, the most important thing is to practice acting and prepare plans. These things are really new to everyone in the Imperial City Division. Who can imagine that the palace is being attacked?

If someone attacks the imperial palace at the critical moment, the city of Tokyo will have already fallen!

However, Ye An doesn't think so. There are many types of attacks. A sneak attack by a small group of elites is also an attack. Although the palace is calm at the moment, most of the defensive forces are at Xuandemen, Xihuamen, Donghuamen and Linhuamen.

Wait for the outermost city wall.

Once someone launches a surprise attack in the palace, it will be difficult to mobilize the peripheral troops, and the interior will be empty and insufficient, making it easy for criminals to take advantage of it.

Ye An reported his thoughts to Zhao Zhen in the form of a memorial, and was then ridiculed by the Palace Front Secretary and the Guards and Military Division, thinking that this was alarmist talk.

So Ye An requested an order in front of Zhao Zhen and conducted an assessment on the Palace Front Division and the Guards and Military Division in the name of actual combat exercises.

After leaving the palace, a small group of elites from the Imperial City Department dressed up as laborers and coachmen, and drove the cart to the vegetable market alley outside Xishui Gate.

Vegetable Market Alley is the most famous vegetable supply place in Tokyo. Every day, vegetable farmers outside Tokyo transport fresh vegetables here, and then vegetable vendors in Tokyo buy and transport them to other places for sale. Therefore, this can be said to be Tokyo’s

A distribution center for urban vegetables.

Tianjia naturally has a special supply of vegetables and fruits, so there is no need to buy them from this vegetable market alley, but the vegetables and fruits from Shangshi Bureau are supplied to the entire palace.

In addition to the official family and the queen, the concubines and palace residents also had to eat, as well as the imperial palace and the government offices in the palace, which also included the palace department, the bodyguards and military department, and the imperial city department.

Otherwise, would all the ministers in front of the imperial family be straight, personally serve the officials, and personally follow the officials to drink the northwest wind?!

Even so, the supply of vegetables from the Shangshi Bureau is, after all, a palace business, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with it, but it is not impossible to take action. What if something goes wrong temporarily?

Because it was an exercise, the soldiers of the Imperial City Division naturally did not use drastic measures. They just destroyed the Shangshi Bureau's cart. When the wheels rolled down, the soldiers who happened to be passing by stepped forward to help and inadvertently unloaded the cart.

People's arms and ankles.

The pain of dislocation left them no time to think. Zhang Ting, the leader of the Shang Food Bureau, did not care about this. He only knew that this would delay things and he would definitely be reprimanded by the Shang Food Supervisor.

After a quick glance at the damaged shaft and seeing that there was no possibility of repairing it in a short period of time, Zhang Ting quickly looked for an alternative, and the "kind-hearted" Imperial City soldiers were spotted by him.

At a glance, it was obvious that these coolies and cart-wheelers were honest farmers who came to Tokyo to seek a living. The injured palace residents who had fallen off the carts had been carried to the side of the road by them, and when they were about to leave,

But he was stopped by Zhang Ting.

"Hey, don't leave those guys!"

With a bit of a sharp cry, Lu Changying, the leader, paused slightly. The smile on his face flashed away, and then he immediately said in panic: "Your Majesty, what else do you have to say? I am the most honest farmer in Liujiagou. This time

You enter the city just to earn a living, you don’t dare to violate the king’s laws!”

Zhang Ting smiled contemptuously: "Violating the king's law? You are really capable of that! It's a good thing that a certain family is looking for you. We are buying from the palace's food bureau. You have taken a fancy to these vegetables, which are needed by the palace.

Now that the shaft of the cart is broken, it won't be able to be transported to the palace for a while, so you can load the good vegetables into your cart. As long as they are transported to the Shangshi Bureau, you will be rewarded!"

"Enter...enter...enter the palace?!"
