The Protagonist’s Halo

Chapter 75 The spy princess

Three months have passed since the North Yin winds and clouds surging,

The Daxing Emperor’s capital was always paying attention, and news was received one after another, but they were all pitiful, and they couldn’t touch the core.

It is related to the Bei Yin regent empress dowager falling ill, the prime minister being banned, power changes, and so on. Just a few words will tell you how big the matter is.

This is not only the internal affairs of Bei Yin, but also affects Daxing, which is adjacent to it. Not long after Bei Yin regained Yunshuo, there has been a sudden internal cleansing. Who knows if the Queen Mother of Bei Yin will get rid of dissidents and settle down well. After the internal affairs, I want to send troops again.

The regent empress dowager of Beiyin has been criticized by many people both inside and outside for her power and ambition, but it is undeniable that she is a legend and she is famous for her strength. The emperor of Beiyin and the court are by her. Out of breath. For such a character, it is impossible for her to recuperate and retreat without sending troops after she has completely mastered the power of Bei Yin.

The angry Emperor Daxing scolded Jing Ansi for incompetence.

Jing Ansi was also helpless. Who would have thought that Daxing’s dark line in Yongdu had just received attention and was involved in a thrilling coup in Beiyin soon after, and many spies were arrested, so spying around in this way can tell you something. It is not easy for both news to come out.

And just like this, the situation of the Northern Yin Kingdom has also changed several times. There was news that the Queen Mother Yin could not afford to be ill, and the people on Daxing hadn’t breathed easily. In a flash, the situation suddenly changed. The Prime Minister of Northern Yin was killed for assassinating the Princess of Jian Guo. Kill, and cut the whole clan. Immediately, the little-known Princess Jianguo opened the sword to the court, and the court and the opposition instantly ran into a river of blood.

Some of these were the information sent back by Daxing spies, and some were the people who depended on Jing Ansi who worked tirelessly to collect and sort out the fragmentary news, such as the abnormal mobilization of troops at the border, the reduction of Beiyin business trips, and so on. These were analyzed.

But until the situation in Bei Yin stabilized, Daxing still did not have enough ability to intervene in it, otherwise the old foxes in the court had long been willing to support Bei Yin’s internal forces against the royal family against the Queen Mother Yin, and hope that the more chaotic Bei Yin, the better. In the past, they didn’t pay much attention to it because Yun Shuo was in Daxing’s hands, and through such a moat, he could still restrain Bei Yin, so they didn’t need to worry too much. Now Bei Yin has shown amazing fangs, once it was to regain Bei Yin, and the next time it might be to send troops to prosper.

Some people are worried, while others are just vying for power. The attention to the Jing’an Division has been taken seriously, and so many resources have been invested in it. The court has long been dissatisfied with it. Now that it has seen no results, it has vigorously accused of incompetence. Under the multilateral pressure and game, the Jing’an Division is also struggling.

It was not a day’s work for spying to spend the time, but the emperor and the high-ranking officials were eager to achieve success one by one, and the head of Jing’an was about to lose his hair. It was difficult to take a break to drink a bowl of hot lamb soup, and then I saw Situ Huairuo.

“Prince Situ.” The principal had a good impression of him. Not only was he arresting the North Yin detective in the imperial capital, Situ Huairuo helped Jing Ansi, but because he was not like other high school students, he was arrogant, even the imperial court commander. Don’t take it seriously. Situ Huairuo is truly a clear, graceful and gentle son, nothing more than that. Even sitting in this small shop on the side of the road, it is as dusty as the light.

Situ Huairuo arched his hands slightly.

Although he was not in the court, he had heard that Jing Ansi was quite condemned because of the Bei Yin changes. It is not surprising to see the principal’s sad face, but it is a pity that he can’t help much.

The Bei Yin Fengyun was shocked, he didn’t know much, and he didn’t want to explore it, but the only person he wanted to know was that he had used the secret forces of the Situ family and couldn’t find it. Although the Situ family had some background influences, they were only in Daxing, and they played a small role in Daxing.

Maybe there is no Jingan Sido found.

Situ Huairuo looked down silently, even though he had asked Qin Jia, it turned out that she just brought him back from the edge of the cliff, how he was rescued from under the cliff, and who gave him the medicine, Qin Jia is at a loss.

He was wrong. He thought that Qin Jia didn’t say a lot because of her mysterious master. But he was considerate of her difficulties and didn’t ask much. And the Situ family members have checked their whereabouts into the mountains for a few days, and only Qin Jia who occasionally hunts there for a living, and no one else, otherwise, is it still a mountain spirit who is not expected to pay?

But Qin Jia’s words confirmed that it was only he and the Situ family who hadn’t noticed, and someone else had erased the traces.

But whether the person he met between life and death was Han Ling, Situ Huairuo still wanted to find her and ask her in person.

The Mind Master who once led him to teach him Dharma once said that Huiji will hurt, and don’t be too persistent.

Situ Huairuo didn’t understand, he just wanted an answer, it didn’t matter whether she was a spy from Bei Yin, Daxing was opposed to Bei Yin.

As for what to do after asking, Situ Huairuo hadn’t thought about it, nor would he think about it.

As soon as Situ Huairuo spoke and mentioned the word ‘Han Ling’, the head of Jing’an’s face changed, and he was extremely embarrassed, “Master Situ, this matter involves my Jing’an driver’s secret, I can’t say.”

The principal also felt that he was a little bit sorry for Situ Huairuo. When he asked for him, he asked him to help many times. When asked about something, he had to treat Situ Huairuo as an outsider. It’s just that this fact is not simple, and he can’t disclose it at will.

After drinking the mutton soup, the principal left with apology.

Situ Huairuo’s expression was slightly startled, so that Master Jing An could be so cautious. They should have found out Han Ling’s identity, and that identity must be very important. It is so important that the password is blocked, and it must not be disclosed.

He had thought about the identity of Han Ling, but Daxing secret agents had not yet ascertained Han Ling’s identity.

Either Han Ling did not show up after returning to Bei Yin, or he checked the wrong direction from the beginning.

Even if Daxing’s secret investigation is lurking in Beiyin, it will only search within a predetermined range. It is impossible to search the past one by one like a needle in a haystack.

Even during the initial investigation, Jing’an Division was divided into two factions. One was the chief of Jing’an Division, who had heard Situ Huairuo’s suggestion, and felt that since Han Ling could order all spy detectives, his identity must be important, and the other side believed that even if Han Ling was in Beiyin The status is not low, but she has left Daxing and returned to Beiyin. Even if it is found out, it is of no use. And Han Ling’s identity has been exposed, and there is no longer a threat to Daxing. It is like a chicken rib, and there is no need to invest so much. Manpower is tracking down this clue.

As a result, during the period of the Northern Yin Dynasty, when they knew the age and other characteristics of the Jianguo princess, the people of Jing Ansi did not think of the Northern Yin Detective who had stirred up the wind and rain in the imperial capital before.

But when the Daxing spy didn’t know how late the news came back, everyone was shocked.

Han Ling turned out to be the princess of the Northern Yin Kingdom.

Following Mu Hualing’s imprisonment of the country and a major cleansing of the court, after he grasped the power of life and death of Bei Yin from the blood and blood, the dossier information about her was quickly collected on the table of powerful people in various countries in just a few days. on.

Princess Hua Ling, the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager Yin, was intelligent since she was a child, and was valued by the empress. When Emperor Beng died, she was sent to the Bieyuan to recuperate due to an illness. He recovered a few months ago and was granted the power of imprisonment when the Empress Dowager Yin became seriously ill.

Even the time can be faintly matched, Jing Ansi’s people can’t help but smile bitterly, the Queen Mother Yin is really cruel, or she started planning so early.

The emperor also rebuked them for being manipulated in the palm of a woman by a woman. The people of Jing Ansi just wanted to say that they were not wronged. They weren’t ordinary women. The princess of the government of Bei Yin killed no less than a thousand officials. The methods are unfathomable and prestigious.

However, the emperor and the important ministers did not understand Jing Ansi’s previous faults at all, but were even more angry, blaming Jing Ansi for his incompetence.

If only Mu Hualing stayed in Daxing, even if she could not be killed, she must not be released back to Beiyin.

How could such a woman be able to punish the rebellion in one fell swoop, with ruthless means, and the power of life and death in Bei Yin. How could such a woman be simple? The Emperor Daxing and courtiers thought of another ambitious Queen Mother Yin.

More importantly, Mu Hualing is younger than the Queen Mother Yin.

The only thing that the North Yin Fengyun revealed this time is beneficial to them is that the Queen Mother Yin is too old to deal with the affairs of the DPRK. Waiting for a while, the Queen Mother Yin will be dragged down sooner or later. Daxing believes that under the shadow of the Queen Mother, the spirit of the emperor of Bei Yin will be worn down, and it is unlikely that he will send troops to attack Daxing or Nanliang.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother Yin did go to rest in peace, but gave the power of Bei Yin to Princess Hua Ling.

What makes Daxing more bitter is that, according to the spy’s information, although the emperor of Bei Yin and the regent empress do not agree, they have a deep relationship with Princess Hua Ling since childhood, and they have maintained their trust more and even during the turbulent cleaning of Bei Yin. In the middle, he did not hesitate to take all the infamy on himself, not at all like the rumored indifferent appearance of the indifferent political affairs in the past.

Saying a thousand words and ten thousand is still that fatal mistake, why didn’t Mu Hualing stay in Daxing.

Compared to the time bomb lurking in Daxingshi, this princess Hualing, who has mastered the core power of Beiyin after returning to China, is even more terrifying, and has grown into a more threatening enemy to Daxing.

That’s it, Daxing had to pinch his nose and put down the password, and erased all the original hunting orders for Han Ling on the face.

I thought it was just a spy from Beiyin, and it was not a big deal to be arrested all over the country.

Now she is the princess of the Northern Yin Kingdom, and the Queen Mother Yin retreats behind the scenes and Mu Hualing is in charge of the power, and she is on an equal footing with the emperor, and even the documents issued to the countries have said this, and the seal of the princess of the country is still covered.

Daxing also dared to publicly issue a wanted order for her portrait. Believe it or not, Bei Yin can directly commit the crime for this reason.

And even if Daxing brought out the many evidences that the Bei Yin Princess had lurked on their side for many years to spy on military planning, Bei Yin would not admit it, saying that it was only similar in appearance, but Daxing was forgery and slander, deliberately provoking war.

Sending out secret spies is a private matter. Even if you know it, you must show mutual respect between the big powers and the big powers. It is easy not to damage the face and cause diplomatic disputes.

This matter is at stake in the war between the two countries and should not be ignored. Even Emperor Daxing had to endure it, and the court knew about it.

As a result, the withdrawal of the wanted order has also caused controversy among some unknown people.

For example, Jiang Shangshu, who lost his son before, was just such an aunt, so he was indulged in it since he was a child. Because of the turmoil caused by the undercover investigation in Beiyin, the disappearance of Jiang Shangshu’s son was also covered up, but his son was later found in the pool. His body had his limbs broken and his eyes gouged out. It was found that it was probably the work of Beiyin’s secret investigation.

Therefore, Jiang Shangshu is also the most active person to track down the North Yin spy, vowing to avenge his tragic death of his son. But the imperial court suppressed Beiyin’s secret detective without making a sound, and also let go of the snake-hearted person, Jiang Shangshu directly rioted in the court.

The emperor was impatient, so he directly let go of his official position and let him reflect on it in his own mansion.

Could it be that he was going to ask the princess Jianguo who is now in power in Bei Yin to give an explanation for the life of a son of Shang Shu’s concubine, and let her pay for her life.

It is impossible for his prince to lose his life because of molesting and entanglement with the princess of the country of prison.

…

Beiyin’s winter comes very early,

Xiao Han was wrapped in a light white fur and stood on the upper floor of the Beiyin Palace.

Looking at the northern land covered in silver, the wind in the early winter is also a bit bitter.

Compared with the rich and warm Daxing and Nanliang, Beiyin appears to be a bit bitter and cold, but it occupies some special geographical locations, such as the Hetao Plain, which is suitable for raising horses. It has suitable pastures, excellent war horse breeds, and war horses do not need to enter. It also needs training, so that they are not afraid of bows and arrows, and only the vast plains and suitable climate can be trained. Therefore, the North Yin Liangma is well-known in the world, and it is also feared by Daxing and Nanliang.

Bei Yin is different from Daxing Nanliang because of his military merits. The Queen Mother Yin was able to support the new emperor and even ascend to the high position of the regent. It was because of the power of the army that she could only be so powerful. Now the Queen Mother Yin handed over the power of the tiger talisman to her. To Xiao Han, in addition, through the elimination of the Qing Dynasty government, she controlled the power of the officials to promote the promotion of officials, the money and food of the household department, and the power of prison that can complement and help the dark guard camp.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Bei Yin court is hers.

These powers were acquired in a **** storm,

When the Queen Mother Yin was regent, a large number of people were killed.

And now she was involved in the assassination of the princess of the prison, and killed more people, whether it was aristocrats or powerful gentry. She was terrified and no one objected.

In the past, the Queen Mother Yin had only used a strong force to suppress the courtiers and nobles, but she was truly in charge of life and death, and she did not need to be constrained by anyone anymore.

It is much easier to implement reforms and reforms.

Xiao Han was still thinking about the reform.

A Chan walked to Xiao Han’s side, “Princess, Your Majesty has already arrived at Ziwei Hall.”

Xiao Han walked down the wall slowly, and the palace men on both sides dared not raise their heads and hold their breath. This was the most obvious influence brought by absolute power. No matter how gentle she behaves, no one will forget that she is the princess of the prison of the Yongdu who slaughtered and had the power of life and death.

Until now, the emperor Mu Yi already knew the truth about the Queen Mother Yin’s illness and the plan led by her and Hua Ling, but it didn’t matter. Queen Mother Yin didn’t tell him that he was worried about him, but even if he knew it a long time ago, He would still do it again.

Is it possible to stand by and watch Hua Ling alone in front of the stage be thrilled by the storm and kill infinitely?

When Hua Ling was in Daxing, he couldn’t protect her at all. But when she returned to Beiyin, Mu Yi would not watch her suffer any more harm.

Others only know that the princess Jianguo is ruthless and scheming, avoiding it for fear. In the past few dozen days, Princess Hua Ling suffered an unknown number of large and small assassinations, assassins poisoned, and ambushing conspiracies, just like how complicated people’s hearts are.

In fact, Xiao Han didn’t think of her in the unexpected world. Compared to the pampered golden branches and jade leaves, she was more willing to be the princess of the imperial country who called the wind and rain for thousands of people.

But Mu Yi took all the infamy under the slaughter on himself, which still surprised her.

This is no ordinary infamy, and it is destined to be recorded in the annals of history in the future.

Just flipping through some of the papers presented by the secret agents, “The emperor is afraid that he will soon become a tyrant in the mouth of the people. I do all the things, and the emperor is responsible for the infamy.”

“It’s just gossip.” Mu Yi sneered, he didn’t care about his reputation at all.

And how can the little thing of fame compare with Hua Ling.

The young emperor sighed, “The only thing the emperor can do for you is this.”

Xiao Han was stunned. The relatives of the original body were truly sincere to her. They are rare and precious among the heavenly imperial family. Even though the way of love is different, the Queen Mother Yin entrusted Mu Hualing with a heavy responsibility, trust and pride. She saved three years of revenge after her death, and her feelings mixed with national interests are not pure, but they are all she can give. As the elder brother Mu Yi, even if he is not a qualified emperor, he is accustomed to his inherent noble status, but he is willing to exchange all the glory and authority for Mu Hualing’s peace. Even Mu Yongsi, the youngest sister, repeatedly framed Qin Jia by Heihua, which means that she has not forgotten the enmity of the emperor sister.

Even if Mu Hualing is dead, Bei Yin and her relatives will not forget her.

Seeing her in a trance, Mu Yi thought that she was overworked this time and did not have time to take a good rest. A worried expression appeared on her face immediately, “Would you like to call the doctor over to see?”

Xiao Han shook his head and said that he was fine, and then smiled, “I need the emperor’s help for something.”

Mu Yi didn’t care, “What’s the matter, Hua Ling, don’t hesitate to say.”

Xiao Han handed him a copy, and the latter opened it and looked at it with surprise, “This is… to comfort the people?

Xiao Han nodded, she was too ruthless to kill, and Mu Yi took the initiative to defend her arrows, so that the ruling and the opposition spread his reputation for being brutal and innocent. How could Xiao Han have no way to deal with it. Appropriately appease the people’s minds, reduce the influence, and facilitate the reforms and reforms that will be implemented.

There are three strategies in this fold.

The first thing was the improved farming tools. After Xiao Han returned to Bei Yin, whether it was the leader of the dark guard camp or the identity of the princess, she had a lot of resources and power, and wanted to find some craftsmen in Bei Yin. Human righteous man, according to her idea, improving grain crops and cultivating agricultural tools, it only takes some time. Now that several months have passed, the people below report that it has been effective.

After all the states and capitals across the country have introduced improved seeds and farming tools, how can the people of Bei Yin fear the royal family, the emperor and the princess of the country, and it is too late to be grateful.

The second is to open Enke to recruit talents. In Xiao Han’s plan, the Bei Yin has made great achievements in the army, but it is also necessary to win over the literati. This is not because Bei Yin dominates the world. Some people who can’t wait in the country run to it. It’s not uncommon for a country to be an official. Bei Yin had already enlisted some literati and military commanders from Daxing Nanliang before, and the empress dowager Yin was mainly eclectic. As long as she had the ability and loyalty, she could use it.

After three consecutive years of enlisting scholars in Enke, it was enough to make a sensation among the scholars of the Northern Yin Dynasty. They were probably more willing to fill up the vacancies after they were killed, rather than criticizing who was in charge of the court and killing such officials. Gaps in official positions.

The important official positions in the DPRK have been replaced by Xiao Han and the Queen Mother Yin, but there are still more gaps, and it is indeed necessary to supplement some talents and obtain officials from the private sector.

The rumors that made a lot of noise are nothing more than the brutal and miserable aristocracy instigating the tenant farmers under their sect to make a series of scholarly essays, proclaiming the death of the country and the emperor’s unbearable emperor. Instead of waiting for them to make other means, Xiao Han chose to take the initiative.

The last thing is just to mention a few words in the zhezi, and to talk to Mu Yi, it is not time to make it public. That is steelmaking. How can Xiao Han say he has spent time in two modern worlds, and they are all involved in scientific research. Even if most of them are in this era, they are useless at all, such as quantum technology, etc., but the establishment of an industrial foundation is still true. Enough.

The initial plan is to upgrade the armaments, armor weapons used by soldiers in combat.

The Queen Mother Yin’s trusted troops, the Black Armored Army and the Golden Armored Guard, are brave and brave. Even if they are on the battlefield, they can block one hundred. They are not only well-trained, but they also wear armor helmets and short swords and long spears. No relationship. It’s just that this configuration can’t spread all the troops in Bei Yin, only the thousands of Black Armored Army and Jin Jiawei who are trusted and valued by the Empress Dowager Yin can receive this treatment.

The steelmaking technology in this era is difficult and limited, but in Xiao Han’s eyes, there is a lot of room for improvement. Just like how to improve the quality of steel, with the power she has, the iron ore and coal mines in Beiyin can be mobilized at will. It took several months to open the furnace to smelt iron, and a large iron yard and a factory for building weapons were also established.

It is also necessary to improve the overall quality of the Bei Yin army. Xiao Han will not forget that there is also a female protagonist Qin Jia on the Daxing side, who will provide various assistance to the male protagonist Yanshu.

When Xiao Han left the Daxing imperial capital, he withdrew almost all the spies, and he was busy rectifying Beiyin’s internal affairs, and carelessly paid attention to the hostess. He didn’t know what happened to Qin Jia and Yan Shu.

…

Just the two strategies of improved varieties of farming tools and Enke, if pushed down, will have an immediate effect.

Both the people of Beiyin and the scholars have extolled the good names of the emperor and the princess of Jianguo. All the tyrannical and inhumane things before, they all don’t know where they were left.

When we waited for the reform and restructuring, even though there were many controversial and opposed voices, they could not create any obstacles to the reform.
