Chapter 147 Planning and Layout

The maid had already prepared breakfast. Yan Qing washed her hands and sat at the dining table. She said in a calm tone: "I was kept up half the night by you last night. After breakfast, you should do whatever you want to do. I want to catch up on my sleep." ”

"I realize my mistake." Wen Jin showed an apologetic smile, "We won't do it tonight."

Yan Qing glanced at him, not sure whether he believed his words anymore, and lowered her head to eat attentively.

After breakfast, Yan Qing went to hang out in the garden for a while. The weather was cool in the morning, the air in the garden was fresh, the flowers were in bloom, and the scenery was beautiful.

Wen Jin walked with her while thinking about the plan for the day in his mind. He really didn't waste any time. When Yan Qing decided to go back to rest, he quietly sent Yan Qing back to Qihuang Palace and ordered Chenxiang and others Take good care of him, "Your Highness needs to rest. Don't let anyone come in and disturb you if you have nothing to do."

"yes."

Wen Jin stood outside the door for a while, then suppressed the reluctance in her heart and walked out of Qihuang Courtyard.

After leaving the Princess's Mansion, he first rode to Prince Zhuque's Mansion and met Lu Ming.

"What kind of wind brought Mr. Wen here?" Lu Ming frowned and saw Wen Jin coming alone, with disdain on his face, "I am finally willing to leave His Highness. I thought you..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Yan Qing's words "I am the wet nurse". Lu Ming swallowed the unfinished words and said in a lukewarm tone: "Go to the study and talk."

Wen Jin nodded calmly and went to the study with him, obviously not taking his ridicule and hostility to heart.

There is a map spread out on Lu Ming's desk, and the territory of Dayong is fully displayed on this map.

"Yan Chen made a fatal mistake this time. Without any evidence, he tried to get the three kings Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu to pay for the troops to besiege Suzaku City without paying a penny." Lu Ming stood in front of the case. His eyes fell in the direction of the Imperial City, and he smiled coldly, "Are the Blue Dragon King and White Tiger King fools?"

Wen Jin's voice was calm: "The four kings have been working independently over the years. Without special reasons, they cannot form an alliance easily."

"What do you want to say?"

"Yan Chen's decree is an opportunity for His Highness, and it is also the best reason to promote the alliance between the four kings." Wen Jin's eyes fell on the map, and her voice was calm and calm, "Before inviting the other three vassal kings to arrive at Suzaku City, The prophecy of "Auspiciousness coming from heaven to Suzaku City" can be spread. Arrange some clever servants to chat with people in restaurants, teahouses, brothels, gambling houses and other crowded places. Within half a month, let This wind blew throughout Zhuque City and spread to other cities within three months.”

Lu Ming frowned: "The three feudal princes will definitely become suspicious after hearing this news. What if they don't want to wade into this muddy water and refuse to come to Suzaku City?"

"As the Suzaku King, you should know how to write this invitation letter." Wen Jin narrowed her eyes, "If the letter is well written, there is no way they will not come."

Lu Ming heard what he meant and couldn't help frowning: "Does this mean that if these three vassal kings are not invited, the responsibility will fall entirely on me?"

Wen Jin said: "King Suzaku is extremely capable, and such a simple matter as inviting three vassal kings should not be a problem for you."

Lu Ming wanted to sneer, but then he thought about it, this person was also planning for His Highness, so he didn't bother to argue with him.

"If you invite these three people here, can you convince them to obey His Highness?"

"There is no need to convince them." Wen Jin said in a very calm tone, "As long as they understand that they are loyal to their rightful emperor, the four vassal kings can continue to prosper for hundreds of years. Those who are unwilling to make choices will only become abandoned sons. The four vassal kings are all smart people. , should not choose to become an outcast."

Lu Ming frowned, clearly hearing a threat from this sentence...or something a little heavier than a threat.

Although Lu Ming is already His Highness, he is still one of the four vassal kings. He was inexplicably unhappy with Wen Jin's words, "If some of them really choose to live alone, what can you do?"

Wen Jin said calmly: "You will know."

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Let's make arrangements today." Wen Jin said, turning around and walking out of the study, "Let Ji Chiyu write a letter to his father. It's time to send over the two hundred thousand taels of silver owed by the Minister of Revenue."

Lu Ming raised his eyes: "Your Highness is not short of these two hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Lu Ming." Wen Jin paused slightly and turned to look at him, "If the late old Suzaku King had another son, your fate would be unknown."

After leaving these words, he Shi Shiran walked away.

Lu Ming stayed alone in the study, his face darkened. What did Wen Jin mean by that sentence?

…

At this time, in the Qihuang Hall of the Princess Mansion, Yan Qing was leaning against the window alone, reading a letter.

Wen Jin moved faster than she expected. Yan Qing saw him walking in and said calmly: "The business is over so quickly?"

"I just had a few words with Lu Ming, so I won't be delayed for long." Wen Jin walked over and poured her a cup of tea, "Don't you, Your Highness, want to catch up on your sleep?"

Yan Qing said: "Something more important than catching up on sleep happened."

Wen Jin was silent for a moment, his eyes falling on the letter in his hand. The very familiar letterhead made him involuntarily think of the letter that Yan Qing had thrown into the incense burner after reading it at the Princess's Mansion in the imperial capital.

"Want to know who wrote this letter?" Yan Qing noticed where his gaze was and smiled faintly, "You can take a guess and I'll show it to you if you guess right."
