I thought that these two little guys are not so annoying sometimes and know how to give them face.
The three of them looked at the seal on the paper intently.
Mingwei couldn't see the difference and thought it was an ordinary seal.
Yang Shu was thoughtful: "It's strange, this beast button looks like it should be used exclusively by the royal family. Could it be that he is a member of the royal family?"
"Royal?"
"Yes. This style is not allowed to be used by others." Yang Shu looked at the rules carefully. "This size does not comply with the regulations. It is indeed a private seal."
"Royal private seal." Ning Xiu was even more surprised, "If she is a member of the royal family, why would the princess be so secretive?"
Mingwei looked at them: "There is one more thing, I don't know if you have noticed it. Taizu's clan is very thin and has no brothers. After the founding of the country, the royal family was too small. It has been so many generations since we finally found it.
Distant relatives. How can these people have any contact with the eldest princess?"
As soon as she reminded them, Yang Shu and Ning Xiu came to their senses.
That's right, I recognized these people in the first place just because there were too few people in the royal family and they were not decent enough to be used as a front. How could the eldest princess who fought hard on the battlefield have any friendship with them? It was just a courtesy exchange on weekdays.
For the eldest princess, she only has so many real clan relatives.
Four brothers from the same mother, and the other is the prince and princess born to Taizu’s concubines.
In the current reign, Taizu's sons are very obedient and act as kings of leisure.
Of the four half-brothers, only one died.
Who could be the mysterious guest who goes to see the eldest princess?
None of the three people could figure it out.
After some discussion, there was no result.
Yang Shu said: "We still need evidence. I will send someone to check. If anyone has seen this private seal, find out the identity of that person first."
Ning Xiu nodded: "It's easier for you to investigate when it comes to the royal family." After thinking about it, he felt uneasy and warned, "If you find something over there, don't act rashly. If you have anything to do, please ask your senior brother to come. I'm just a charlatan.
No one will notice you. Your position is important, so there will definitely be many eyes watching you."
"Don't worry, I'm not a child."
After discussing for a while, it looked like it was getting brighter outside, and Ning Xiu said: "It's almost time, I should go back to the academy for classes."
Mingwei said: "I have to go back too."
Yang Shu's position was special and he didn't have to go to court, but he also had to go to the government office to work.
So the three of them split up and went their separate ways.
Before leaving, Yang Shu shouted: "Hey!"
Mingwei and Ning Xiu stopped at the same time and looked at him.
He moved his lips: "... If you have anything to do, just come here and say it. Don't go to the Hou Mansion. There are too many eyeliners there."
Ning Xiu wondered, hadn't this been a consensus they had long ago? Do they need to say it again?
But he still responded: "I understand."
The two of them climbed over the wall one after the other and left.
The sky was brightening outside, and the faint morning light shone in through the window screen. Yang Shu sat silently for a while, then reached out and touched his lips.
"What on earth did I do?" He suddenly slapped himself hard and lay on the table dejectedly.
Ah Xuan came in from outside and was shocked when he saw his behavior: "Master, why are you beating yourself?"
"..." Yang Shu said expressionlessly, "Oh, I haven't slept all night, so I need to wake myself up. I have to go to the Yamen later."
…
On the other side, Mingwei walked out not far and found Ning Xiu waiting for her.
"Sir." She saluted.
Ning Xiu got straight to the point: "I'm even more suspicious now, and I think your guess may be right."
What he was referring to was that Yang Shu was the emperor star and he was a member of the royal family.
Mingwei nodded.
"Do you still think you should hide it from him?"
Mingwei sighed: "Sir, it's not that I want to hide it from him, but now is the wrong time. If it is true, his situation is too dangerous. What do you think is the possibility that the emperor does not know his life experience?"
Ning Xiu frowned and thought: "If the emperor knew his life experience, why did he have such favor and trust in him? And also handed the Imperial City Department into his hands?"
"I have thought about this issue when I went back." She said, "I think we have all entered into a misunderstanding. We all thought that by keeping him in the Imperial City Division, we trusted him, because the Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of the Holy Emperor.
In other words, he is the emperor's private soldier. What if we think about it in another direction? Put him in the most trustworthy place, surrounded by his own eyes and ears. Is this surveillance?"
"..." Ning Xiu was horrified and said in shock, "Then you still ask him to check the files? Isn't his every move in the Imperial City Department being monitored all the time?"
Ming smiled and said: "Sir, have you ever thought about how terrible it is for a person who never does anything inappropriate? When you were studying art, you always deserted and were punished, right?"
"No."
"..." Mingwei had no choice but to put it another way, "For example, I usually follow the rules in the academy, but you can see what I do in private."
Ning Xiu nodded: "No matter how well-behaved the ladies in the academy are, there are times when they go out of line."
"That's it. People are very strange. We live in a group and are restricted by rules. But in our hearts, we always long to be unfettered. But if we completely ignore the rules, we must either be strong enough or have to pay a huge amount.
Most people can't do it at the price. But in some small things, they will find opportunities to go out of their way and enjoy the pleasure of ignoring the rules."
Ning Xiu understood: "You mean, he makes no mistakes at all, so he is scary?"
"Yes. If the emperor is really monitoring him, he will set various bottom lines for him in his heart. Once this bottom line is crossed, he will be unlucky. But the emperor's bottom line and the rules are not completely coincident. Looking at the history books, some
Corrupt officials and cruel officials are obviously very hateful, so why do the emperors who are not stupid still use them? Because the things they committed did not touch the emperor's bottom line. As long as they grasp this, even if they commit crimes, it will not matter.
"
"So, you think he should make some mistakes?"
Ming smiled and said: "It is scary if he does not make mistakes. He is only nineteen years old and is still a young man. How can he not make mistakes at all? He has deep feelings for his grandparents and it is not a treasonous thing to want to see their files. On the contrary, we
We can use this matter to find out the emperor's attitude towards him."
Ning Xiu looked at her deeply.
Mingwei raised his eyebrows: "Sir, what do you mean?"
Ning Xiu said with a dull face: "You are using him."
"How do you call this utilization?" Mingwei said softly, "Isn't it for him that I do this? First, he went to check the files to see if the emperor would pay attention. If he didn't pay attention, he would most likely not know about him.
His life experience. If you pay attention, then we should also pay attention."
That means the emperor is likely to know his life experience.
