"How much do you know about the Yanbei Palace?" Ren Yaoqi asked Dongsheng, looking at the sky outside the window.

She didn't know much about the Yanbei Palace in her last life, and in this life she didn't deliberately inquire about it, and all she knew was what everyone knew.

However, Dongsheng was trained as Li Tianyou's close companion. His master was Zheng Guoliang, the powerful follower next to his grandfather, and he was also the housekeeper of the Li family.

She always felt that Steward Zheng’s voice was a bit peculiar, but later she realized that Steward Zheng should have come out of the palace, an eunuch.

Li Tianyou's little servant doesn't need to know too much about socializing, but he must know how to help his master seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So Dongsheng should know the situation of the various families in Yunyang City very well.

"The late Lao Yanbei Wang Zhengfei was the second daughter of the first emperor. She was born by Zhang Guibi of the year. When she was fifteen years old, she was granted by the first emperor Princess Changde to marry the Yanbei Royal Palace. However, Lao Yanbei was married to the Yun family before she was granted marriage. Yun Yao, the eldest daughter of Yanbei, was married. At that time, Xiao Qishan, the fourth king of Yanbei, the grandfather of King Yanbei, was still alive and asked to make a petition to the emperor."

"The first emperor considered again and again in order to block your mouth and appease Xiao Qishan, and allowed the Yanbei Palace to let Xiao Yan marry Yun's daughter Yunyao as the side room when the princess entered the door, and promised to wait for Xiao Yan to inherit the throne of Yanbei. If Yunyao has a son, give her the position of side concubine, so that Xiao Yan’s concubine Princess Changde and side concubine Yun came in one day after another."

"It's just that Princess Changde has only given birth to one daughter, Xiao Wei, since she entered Xiao's house, and she hasn't moved anymore, while Mrs. Yun gave birth to the eldest son of King Yanbei, Xiao Yan. Later, the princess was born for King Yanbei. The concubine of the Su family, Xiao Heng, the second son of the old prince, was born by this concubine Su Gui. Su Gui concubine was not healthy. Xiao Heng passed away shortly after he was born. Xiao Heng was raised by Princess Changde since he was a child."

Dongsheng really knew the twists and turns of these aristocratic families very well, and he told them carefully.

"The fourth king of Yanbei, Xiao Qishan, lived to be in his sixties, so the old king of Yanbei was thirty-five years old when he took the throne. At that time, the Yanbei Prince's Mansion used to make trouble for the establishment of his son.

"President Changde established his own concubine Xiao Heng, while Lao Yanbei Wang preferred her eldest son Xiao Yan. It is said that Princess Changde had secretly entered Beijing with Lao Yanbei and asked the emperor to be her master."

"It happened at the time when the first prince died and the first emperor became ill, and when King Kang and King Rong were fighting for the crown, the princess quietly sent the letter to the capital like a stone sinking in the sea. The old Yanbei king said that Xiao Qishan had his life left. By personally entering Beijing to request the decree for the eldest son, King Kang and King Rong, who were in charge of the state, had a hard time fighting for victory. No one wanted to offend the Yanbei Palace at that time, so Xiao Yanshun naturally became the eldest son. Two more years later, The first emperor suddenly recovered from his illness. King Kang and King Rong were condemned for rebellious charges. Soon after, King Yanbei also died abruptly. Xiao Yan succeeded to the throne as King Yanbei and asked his eldest son Xiao Jingkang to be his first son."

"Because King Kang and King Rong were in the'Two Kings Rebellion', after the first emperor recovered from illness, he did not have the energy to manage Yanbei's affairs at the beginning. Therefore, Xiao Yan's succession to the throne and the appointment of the eldest son went well, but the first emperor asked Yanbei. Wang Shizi entered the Imperial College in Beijing to study, essentially as a proton. Therefore, the Yanbei Wang Shizi grew up in Beijing since childhood, and was ordered to marry Zhao Ying'e, the daughter of the Princess of Chang'an. The painting is excellent, but the riding and shooting are abandoned."

Ren Yaoqi had been listening in silence. Some of these things Dongsheng said she knew, and some she didn't.

She could think of the deep waters of the Yanbei Palace, but now listening to Dongsheng in such detail, it is still a bit shocking.

"The concubine of the current king of Yanbei, Xiao Yan, is the niece of his birth mother, Mrs. Yun, and Yun Chuxue, the eldest daughter of the Yun family’s current head of Yunsheng, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Xiao Jingkang in Beijing. , The second son Xiao Jingxi, and the county lord Xiao Jinglin. The younger brother of King Yanbei, Xiao Heng, married Su Shi, gave birth to the third son Xiao Jingyue, and the second Miss Xiao Jingyuan, as well as several concubines and daughters. Princess Changde’s only daughter Xiao Wei married She gave birth to the current Ningxia General Soldier Wu Xiaohe, and she had a daughter."

Ren Yaoqi's heart moved: "How is the relationship between Yanbei King Xiao Yan and his brother Xiao Heng?"

Dongsheng thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Outsiders look at them as brothers and friends, but...you can see the relationship between their respective outsiders, the Yun family and the Su family, that things are not as they seem on the surface. Simple. The Yun family and the Su family have shook hands and made peace since Xiaoqishan became the king of Yanbei, and they are close to each other. In fact, the two families are still in dispute behind the scenes. The Su family holds several large horse farms in the northwest. All the horses of the Yanbei Army’s cavalry were for the horse farm in the northwest of the Su family. The Yun family was a veteran family and its background was not comparable to that of the Su family, but it was not comparable to the Su family in terms of business. The two are competing for the past two years. The several large salt fields near Gyeongju caused a headache for King Yanbuk."

Northwest Racecourse...Ningxia General Soldier...The Dangxiang clan who competed with Dazhou for the racecourse...The contradiction between the Yun family and the Xiao family, the old princess and the Yanbei king...

Ren Yaoqi felt that there was a faint line connecting what he had known in the last life with what Dongsheng had just said, and a light was shining in front of her...

After the previous imperial court ordered the reduction of the Yanbei Army, the Dangxiang clan races battle occurred in the northwest, and then the Yanbei army was divided, and part of it was included in the Ningxia General Soldier Wu Xiao and his subordinates to help him fight the Dangxiang clan.

She originally thought that this was King Yanbei's strategy of both in order to preserve his strength.

But now it seems that Wu Xiao and the old princess Changde's son-in-law, can he really be on the same mind as King Yanbei? Did King Yanbei willingly distribute his army to his brother-in-law? I'm afraid it is not necessarily? It seems more like the lesser of the two evils.

Although later because of the intervention of Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei king, most of the Yanbei army was taken back, and the vitality was not injured, but there was still a loss after all.

And Zeng Tong's ability to quickly secure the position of Ningxia's general army was also related to his success in instigating a group of middle and lower-level generals of the Yanbei Army who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude before Xiao Jingxi reintegrated into the Yanbei Army. Those few people finally became the capital of his promotion.

Therefore, if we could figure out a way to prevent the troops from the Yanbei Palace from entering Ningxia, it would have broken Zeng Tan's shortcut to high elevation.

It is undeniable that Ren Yaoqi hates the Zeng family, Zeng Tong and Zeng Kui.

Even though those things in this life haven't happened yet, she still has an irresistible hatred when she thinks of the Zeng family. It is deep into the bones and melted into the hatred of flesh and blood.

At this time, a few people walked in outside the yard. It was Xia Sheng, Xiangqin, and Mulberry who led Ren Yaohua's servant girl in.

Turnip and the others were very embarrassed. Two of the maids were still full of tears on their faces. They choked constantly when they entered the yard. It can be seen that they had suffered before.

When they saw Ren Yaohua standing under the eaves, they all swarmed over, and you complained with each other aggrievedly, and the small courtyard immediately became noisy.

Turnip still couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded them.

Ren Yaoqi only let Ren Yaohua's cold voice sound in the yard: "I will give you an explanation!"

Li Tianyou, who was originally watching the excitement, rolled his eyes and brought Xia Sheng into the house with his hands behind his back.

Ren Yaoqi's quiet voice sounded word by word in the room: "There is a way, but you need to take risks. Maybe everyone has to take risks. Would you like to do it?"

Dongsheng was taken aback, and hesitated to ask: "Who is the lady talking about? Do you want to take risks?"

Ren Yaoqi watched Dongsheng calmly: "Do you think your uncle is not implicated now? Instead of waiting for the disaster, it is better to fight back."

The situation of Xian Wang and Li Gan's family in Yanbei was already very embarrassing.

Li Gan’s biological mother, Wan Guifei, was the first emperor’s favorite concubine, and the daughter of a commoner brought back from the palace by the first emperor. She gave birth to Li Gan within six months of her stay in the palace.

So although the Emperor Xian recognized the identity of the prince Li Gan, after the death of the Emperor Xian, the birth of Li Gan became his stain.

There are rumors in Beijing that Concubine Wan Wan was actually a singing girl before entering the palace, and she had long been secretly married to her. Later, although I was fortunate enough to be the first emperor, it was not the first emperor who was pregnant. It's just that the concubine Wan was able to make the first emperor recognize this cheap son and named him the king of sacrifice.

The first emperor was dead, this rumor could not be confirmed, but when discussing the establishment of a new emperor, most of the courtiers still chose to support the son of Yan Fei, who was only a baby at the time.

Concubine Wan was desperate to act first and took the lead in taking out the emperor’s will to demote her own son Xianwang to a commoner, and exiled to Yanbei, where the Yan clan could not intervene, so that his descendants would never be allowed to enter Beijing.

On the day Xianwang's family arrived in Yanbei, the concubine Wan drank poison and killed herself.

In fact, over the years, the family of Xianwang has taken shelter in the Yanbei Palace. Otherwise, he cannot live safely to this day. Although useless, but still alive after all.

When Mr. Pei talked to Ren Yaoqi about this secret story about the palace, he also sighed that the concubine Wan Gui was indeed a personal character.

Not only is she attractive, versatile, she can also be flexible, decisive, and can afford to lose.

It's a pity that confidantes are fateful.

Ren Yaoqi had never met this great-grandmother, but when she was in Beijing, she had seen some portraits of Concubine Wan and poems written for her secretly circulated in the hands of scholars in Shilin.

Mr. Pei smiled. The reason why he asked Lu Dexin to beg her was because when he first saw her, he thought she looked like the woman in a painting in his collection.

She originally thought he was joking, but after seeing the painting, she realized that Mr. Pei was talking about her great-grandmother, Wan Guifei.

It was also at that time that she understood why Mr. Pei only said a few words with Lu Dexin, and Lu Dexin gave her away.

Lu Dexin was the supervising army sent by the imperial court to Ningxia, and the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty always liked to use close attendants to supervise the army. Lu Dexin was actually an eunuch.

And his master, Queen Dowager Yan and Concubine Wan Wan are rivals, Ren Yaoqi's similar appearance to Concubine Wan will cause him trouble.

At that time, she was extremely grateful for her face.

Many eunuchs are somewhat paranoid in matters of men and women because of their physical disabilities. Although they are incompetent in sex, they still like to marry a wife and raise a concubine. Ren Yaoqi was very unwilling to recall the unbearable days when he fell into Lu De's new hands.

Dongsheng was stopped by Ren Yaoqi's indifferent voice that seemed to see through the world.

Those who followed Xianwang understood the situation of Xianwang's lineage in Yanbei. They not only have to worry about whether the Yan clan in the capital will suddenly send someone to assassinate them, but also worry that one day the Yanbei Royal Mansion will hand them over to the Yan clan for disposal or even quietly dispose of them instead of the Yan clan.

As long as the Queen Mother Yan and her son are still in place, as long as the Yan clan still controls the government, his masters will never have a real peace of mind.

"What do your subordinates do, Miss Biao, but please mention something." Dongsheng gritted his teeth and asked respectfully.

...

When Ren Yaohua sent in to let Ren Yaoqi go out, Ren Yaoqi had already explained clearly to Dongsheng.

Dongsheng stood there for a while without moving, and the expression on his face was as white as paper. The maid who walked in was also startled, thinking that Miss Wu had just given Dongsheng a lesson.

Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly, and said before going out: "If you think about it, you can also discuss with Xia Sheng and the others. If you have anything, you can send me a letter."

Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming out, Ren Yaohua frowned and said, "Why is it so long? It's getting late, and people are back, let's go back."

Ren Yaoqi also explained what should be explained, and nodded in response.

However, Ren Yaohua did not move immediately, and looked behind Ren Yaoqi, as if he wanted to wait for Dongsheng to come out.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "I have already taught him a lesson, and he will never dare to do it anymore, and I also told him some things to do. Why don't you forget it this time?"

Ren Yaohua was a little dissatisfied: "What needs him to do? Is there no one in our Ren family?"

Ren Yaoqi couldn't, so he could only softly implored: "Sister Sister, just assume that I owe you a favor? When I first taught him, I already said that I would intercede for him."

At this time Dongsheng walked out from the inside, his face was still very ugly, Ren Yaohua caught a glimpse of what Ren Yaoqi had taught him.

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said: "Moreover, it is hard for us to get past our grandfather, grandmother and uncle who punished Li's family. After all, our surname is Ren. If someone else knows about it, I am afraid we will make irresponsible remarks. The maid-in-law rewarded one or two silver dollars each."

As Ren Yaoqi came closer, he whispered, "Now we are still outside with the eldest aunt. It is not easy to make trouble. If you want to teach him, there will be more opportunities in the future. Don't rush for a while."

Ren Yaohua snorted before turning around and left.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Dongsheng, and slowly followed Ren Yaohua out.
