The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

"Ayan guessed right." Yan Longyi looked at the woman in front of him with a gentle expression, "Xin Qi's hidden silver was indeed found at Dingshan Pass."

"That's right, they were all shipped out from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

When Si Yan came back from the border, he sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and found that there was nothing valuable in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion.

Of course, it’s not that the Prime Minister’s Mansion really has no money, but that the money of the Prime Minister’s Mansion has been secretly transferred out.

For Xin Rui, Dingshan Pass, where his nephew Xin Qi was located, was a good place to recruit soldiers.

But Xin Rui didn't expect that Dingshan Pass was adjacent to Yan State, and Yan Longyi had been keeping an eye on Dingshan Pass.

Yan Longyi spoke slowly: "We found a total of 15 million taels of silver at Dingshan Pass. They should have used part of it. The number of soldiers and horses at Dingshan Pass has increased by nearly one-third compared to before.

"I used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain to transport this silver out, but because the amount is too large, it is difficult to transport it to Shangjing quietly. It is now on the border of Yan State. Now that Prince Yong is the regent and is in charge of the government, we only need to send someone we trust to get it."

"Well, thank you, King Yan." Si Yan held Yan Longyi's hand and smiled gently.

This man found so much silver at Dingshan Pass, but did not transport it back to Yan State, which shows his sincerity towards Daxuan.

Or perhaps, this is Yan Longyi's feelings for her.

"Ayan, didn't we agree on this? Call me Long Yi." Yan Longyi chuckled and spoke gently.

"I can call you whatever you want." Si Yan pressed on Yan Longyi, as if he was going to take off his clothes again.

"Okay, okay, my Lord Si Yan." Yan Longyi tapped Si Yan's nose, his phoenix eyes full of doting.

Under the dim candlelight, the two leaned against each other gently, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.

Yan Longyi put his arm around Si Yan's shoulders and said, "Ah Yan, the Prime Minister's nephew Xin Qi lost this batch of silver, but he never dared to tell the Prime Minister and even ordered his men to keep it a secret."

"Xin Qi is a nobody," Si Yan commented.

Xin Qi was able to become the commander of Dingshan Pass entirely because of Xin Rui's connections.

Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has collapsed and Xin Rui has been executed, his position as the commander of Dingshan Pass has come to an end.

Yan Longyi agreed, saying, "Xin Qi has been going crazy these past few days, plundering the people at the border as if to collect the silver. This has caused widespread resentment among the people of Dingshan Pass, who are very dissatisfied with him."

Si Yan's expression was slightly serious. "The Emperor's punishment of the Prime Minister's Mansion this time did not implicate anyone from other branches of the Xin family, so for the time being, he cannot convict Xin Qi. However, with the silver in your hands and the evidence of Xin Qi's plundering of the people's wealth, we can take action."

"My people are keeping an eye on Xin Qi. If Ah Yan wants to take action, just tell me."

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Longyi: "I have no doubt that if King Yan wants to take Dingshan Pass, it will be easy."

"Ayan knows I won't do that." Yan Longyi replied with a smile.

Si Yan said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble King Yan to take care of Xin Qi's matter."

"It is my honor to work for Ayan." Yan Longyi's eyes were full of pampering.

Si Yan gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the night outside. A breeze blew in gently, bringing a slight chill.

Si Yan blew the cold wind: "The real danger is Xin Rui's youngest son Xin Rong. He has been away from Shangjing for half a month, and Boya's people have not been able to keep an eye on him."

Yan Longyi said with a gloomy look, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is involved in too many things. Even if Yayue Pavilion is powerful, there will be times when it can't handle it all."

"Then Xin Rong used a substitute just like Wei Shu, causing Boya's men to lose sight of him."

Half a month ago, during the Lantern Festival, they discovered that Xin Rong had left Shangjing and later came back, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

The Xin Rong who came back was not the real Xin Rong at all, and Ling Mohan would find out when he searched the house.

Yan Longyi was silent for a while. "Ah Yan, Xin Rui is a cunning rabbit with three burrows. He probably won't just recruit soldiers at Dingshan Pass."

"Definitely not." Si Yan said flatly, "The Prime Minister's Mansion has embezzled a lot of disaster relief funds and military pay, and also abused its power for personal gain, amassing a lot of money. The Prime Minister's Mansion must have even more silver that has been shipped elsewhere."

"Could it be related to Xin Rong?" Yan Longyi asked.

"Yes." Si Yan nodded. "Xin Rui has a half-brother who is an official in Dingzhou. They have a very good relationship. Xin Rong must have left the capital to find his uncle. They will definitely use Xin Rui's status as Prince Xin to unite with the princes of other fiefdoms to rebel."

In recent years, Xin Rui not only controlled the imperial court, but also expanded his influence in various places.

These local forces were mainly established through his half-brother.

The people in Yayue Pavilion have discovered that Xin Rui, the younger brother, has close ties with princes from all over the country, and his purpose is to unite these princes to rebel.

Yan Longyi looked at Si Yan gently and said, "Ah Yan, I have brought many people into Daxuan secretly. If there is any trouble in Daxuan, they can all be used by A Yan. There are still 50,000 soldiers and horses on the border of Yan State, ready to be dispatched at any time."

"Yes, I understand." Si Yan raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him and said calmly, "Your Highness, please don't move. Daxuan is in turmoil, and it's best for Yan State not to get involved."

Yan Longyi lowered his voice and said, "If Daxuan really needs help, then we can incorporate the Yan soldiers into the Daxuan army. If we don't let anyone know it's the Yan army, there won't be too much trouble."

"I already know your intentions." Si Yan smiled at the man, "But things haven't come to this point yet. When I need Yan State, I won't be polite to you."

Si Yan only now understood the real reason why this man left Daxuan and came back to Daxuan.

He returned to Yan State not only to deal with Yan State's state affairs, but also to call for reinforcements and to support her when she needed him most.

Yan Longyi smiled slightly: "I understand Ah Yan's thoughts. The conflicts within Daxuan are best resolved internally."

Si Yan said with a determined look, "I will end this internal strife at the lowest cost."

Yan Longyi looked at Si Yan with a smile. This girl's overall situation and foresight were always admirable.

"Yu!"

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Yun Tan's voice rang out from outside: "Your Highness, we're here."

Si Yan and Yan Longyi got off the carriage, and Yun Li hurried forward to greet them.

"Greetings to the prince, greetings to Lord Si Yan." Yun Li was surprised to see his own prince.

"How are the new recruits?" Si Yan asked.

"Your Excellency, they are all asleep." Yun Li was arranged by Si Yan to stay in the recruit camp during this period, supervising the training of 500 new recruits.

Yun Li was greatly surprised when he saw their training methods. He asked his twelve brothers who stayed in Daxuan to train with them.

Si Yan, however, formulated a new plan for them to improve their status as high-level secret guards.

As soon as the twelve people saw the plan, they began to train frantically, and they are still training on the training ground.
