After coming out of the room, Moma said to the female officer: "It took us so many days to get the books on construction. We must continue to work hard to get books on medicine, smelting, forging, calendars, etc. as soon as possible. Our There is not much time, it is impossible to stay here all the time, hurry up!"

"Yes, King!"

At this time, an accompanying warrior came in to salute and reported: "My lord, we are being targeted!"

Both Ma and the female officer were shocked, "Do you know the other party's identity?"

"I don't know yet. Someone has been watching outside for the past two days. Although they often change people, I still found out!"

The female officer quickly asked: "Wang, could it be a spy from the Qian Kingdom?"

"Don't panic! In this way, I will lure the watchers away before doing things, and then you go out to do things!"

"King, this is too dangerous! Let the slaves go!"

"No, you are already acquainted with that side. If we change people hastily, he may be scared to retreat. We need to get what we need from him!"

Chapter 806 Start!

Imperial City Division.

Liu Gui, the head of the detective room, reported to He Yong: "Si Cheng, the spy has received news that the only son of Li Yuande, the Minister of Zhongshu and Minister of Rites, has been kidnapped!"

He Yong guessed that Liu Gui would not report a kidnapping case for no reason. The kidnapping case is a matter of the Jingzhao Mansion. If it is not necessary, he will definitely not report to him. He asked: "And then?"

Liu Gui said: "Li Yuande's only son was kidnapped three days ago. On the same day, he received a letter from the kidnapper asking him not to report to officials, let alone speak up, otherwise he would kill his son! Today he received another letter from the kidnapper. He was the only one who read it and burned it after reading it. No one knew what was written in this letter except him! What is strange is that Li Yuande didn't order anyone to prepare a ransom!"

He Yong frowned: "This seems to be an ordinary kidnapping case, right? Even if the sufferer is the minister of the court and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, we don't need our Imperial City Secretary to take action. We don't care about this kind of kidnapping case!"

"Sicheng, my subordinates always feel that there is something strange about this. If it was just an ordinary kidnapping case, the other party should ask for a ransom, but Li Yuande didn't prepare a ransom. Isn't it strange? The subordinates are wondering if this is caused by hostile forces. Why, the other party wants to threaten Li Yuande with his son's life and ask him to do something, what do you think?"

He Yong walked back and forth with his hands behind his back: "Since Li Yuande did not prepare a ransom, the kidnappers must not ask for money, but other things..."

At this time, a passer-by soldier walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Liu Gui's ear. After hearing this, Liu Gui asked the passer-by to go out, and then bowed to He Yong and said, "Si Cheng, I have figured out one thing." When the Shanshan envoy, Man Toutuolin, said one thing when she was in contact with several ministers in the court, she was persuading these ministers to write to the emperor, asking the emperor to give up the decision to depose the Shanshan royal family!"

"Oh?" He Yong was surprised, this was a major discovery, he immediately asked: "Can you find out the attitude of these ministers on this matter?"

Liu Gui said: "Except for Li Yuanbao, the other ministers seem to have been persuaded, but Li Yuanbao's attitude seems to be ambiguous!"

He Yong touched his long beard: "So the kidnapping of Li Yuanbao's son may be related to this matter?"

"The subordinates think it should be related!"

"Didn't you say that the surveillance these days is normal, Mandudalin and her accompanying officials are all under surveillance, they don't have time to kidnap people!"

Liu Gui also had a wry smile on his face: "This subordinate is also very confused about this, I don't know what I have overlooked!"

He Yong thought for a while, and said to Liu Gui: "In this way, you continue to monitor, focusing on the ministers of the court and China who have been in contact with the Mantutulin. If you find any abnormal behavior, come and report immediately!"

"No!" Liu Gui agreed, and was about to turn around to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Si Cheng, I haven't found anything unusual in monitoring the envoys of the female country these days. They are just a few female officials who came into contact with them They were all middle and lower-level officials in the yamen, and it seemed that it was just a normal meeting!"

"Normal meeting? Do you think this is normal?" He Yong asked, "It's okay if they just meet men and women, but they both represent the officials of both sides. If it's not for business, why do they have frequent contact? These envoys This period of time has been up and down, very dishonest. I have never seen foreign envoys in contact with Chinese officials as frequently as they do. This in itself is already abnormal. They must be doing some shady business! Check it out for me , you must not be careless! There are a few other envoys, don't let go of the surveillance, understand?"

"Yes!"

Post house, the small courtyard where the envoys of the Shanshan Kingdom lived.

The attendant Niktila walked into the room quickly and reported to Princess Mandudalin who was lying sideways on the couch and taking a nap: "Princess, I have figured out the purpose of the female envoy. The middle and low-level officials of Tianjian, Jiangzuojian and other yamen contacted to get books on farmland water conservancy production, sericulture and weaving, astronomy and calendar, smelting and forging, medicine, etc. These books are not available to ordinary people in Qianguo. Let alone foreigners!"

Mantutulin suddenly realized: "That's how it is! I said why her subordinates only contacted middle and low-level officials in the various government offices of the Qian Kingdom. It turned out that they wanted to get these books related to production techniques from these small officials. Knowing that these are the strengths that the Qian Kingdom relies on for its survival and strength, how could it be willing to be stolen? If the people of the Qian Kingdom knew about it, they would never let them go!"

"Princess, what about our envoys to the female kingdom..."

The Mantudolin thought for a while, and told Nick Tila: "Don't disturb them for the time being, act like you don't know, this princess will keep them for now, maybe there will be a time when they will be useful!"

"Yes!"

On the first day of March, at the court meeting, Zhao Junsheng was in the Taiji Hall to ask about the government, and the ministers in charge of the three provinces and six ministries came forward to report the main government affairs and their disposal in the past half month.

After the ministers finished their reports, Zhao Junsheng signaled to the eunuch, and the eunuch immediately shouted: "There is something to play, and nothing to leave the court!"

At this time Li Yuande stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have a copy!"

"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng raised his hand.

Li Yuande immediately said: "I heard that your Majesty intends to depose the Shanshan royal family, and has ordered General Gao Jinzhi to follow it. I risked my life to advise. Shanshan is a small country in the Western Regions, and it is the smallest country in the Western Regions closest to Hexi. Both the king and the people admire His Majesty very much. They have submitted to our Central Plains court for generations, and now they all hope to continue to take shelter under the wings of Dagan. If His Majesty deposes the Shanshan royal family, it will definitely bring panic to the countries in the Western Regions. Let's unite against me, and it will be very difficult for me to manage the Western Regions. What's more, we still have enemies like Juquwuya and Rouranren in the Western Regions. The enemy will be very passive!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Yan Wuwei, the servant of the Ministry of officials, stood up and said.

Tai Changqing Huang Dezhong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I want to manage the Western Regions, and relying on force is not enough. Shanshan is the closest small country in the Western Regions to our country, and it is also a representative of the countries in the Western Regions. I think that I should establish Shanshan. Become a model! As long as Shanshan is willing to surrender to me, all the countries in the Western Regions will come to vote and surrender to me! There is no need to spend a single soldier to solve the problem, why bother? So I do not agree Depose King Shanshan and the royal family!"

Then many ministers stood up and disapproved of the abolition of the Shanshan royal family.

Zhao Junsheng saw that in addition to the frequent contact with Mantudalin among the opposing ministers, there were also quite a few ministers who had never had contact with Mantudalin. It can be seen that these people themselves did not agree with forcing Shanshan King to abdicate.

"Put this matter aside for now, I'll think about it before making a decision!"

After the court meeting, Mantudolin soon got the news that the letter from the ministers she subdued by means of charm and coercion had no effect. The letter to dissuade Zhao Junsheng from deposing the Shanshan royal family failed.

Mantudolin was extremely angry. She suppressed the anger and asked her officials and followers to make some arrangements.

Outside the gate of the imperial palace, there was a constant flow of pedestrians, vehicles and horses. The small door next to the palace gate was opened, and a little eunuch came out of the palace carrying a food box.

The little eunuch carried the food box through the intersection of T-shaped street and entered Suzaku Avenue.

Suddenly, a strong man came over and hugged the young eunuch's shoulders, and put a dagger on the other's waist with one hand, "Shut up, keep calm, if you are honest, I will not kill you, but if you Dishonest, I will let you know what regret is!"

The little eunuch was so frightened that his legs went weak, "What does the hero want this servant to do?"

"You'll know when you get there!"

After a while, the little eunuch was taken to a small courtyard, and he was tied to a table leg in a room.

"I think it shouldn't be difficult to know the emperor's whereabouts every day?" the brawny man asked.

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm not the eunuch next to His Majesty, I don't know anything about the emperor's whereabouts, and I have no right to ask!"

The strong man took a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into the little eunuch's mouth, then closed his mouth and let him swallow the pill.

"You... what medicine did you give our family?" The little eunuch cried out in horror.

"It's called Chang Chuan Du Lan Pill. You have to take one antidote every day to suppress its toxicity. You can only survive if you send a report on the emperor's whereabouts every day and take a pill with you!"

"What?" The little eunuch yelled in fright, his expression changed drastically.

The brawny man let go of the little eunuch. For his own sake, the little eunuch certainly didn't dare to reveal anything about the brawny man casually.

Soon, Tila immediately reported to Princess Mandudalin: "Princess, the matter is done. We have found an insider in the palace. He is a eunuch. He is very smart. With him as an internal response, I believe we will be able to know at any time. The whereabouts of the emperor!"
