Chapter 10 chapter Ten

After hearing the emperor's words, Shi Xian was greatly surprised and worried.However, he dared not show it on the surface. "The matter is thus decided!" the emperor asked, "What's your opinion?" "I don't know what to do with Princess Ninghu?" "Didn't you marry Hu Hanxie?" the emperor replied. Shi Xian was taken aback.After thinking about it again, he realized that the emperor had misunderstood, so he asked bluntly and out of etiquette: "I mean, what should Wang Zhaojun do?" "Wang Zhaojun is Princess Ninghu."

This made Shi Xian even more troubled!I thought to myself that the emperor is really confused, and the entanglement is unclear, how can I tell the difference?Since Wang Zhaojun is still Princess Ninghu and is still married to Hu Hanxie, isn't the strategy of letting Hanwen and Li replace Tao to stiffen be useless at all? In fact, it wasn't that the emperor was confused, it was that he didn't understand what the emperor meant. "Shi Xian," the emperor read his inner feelings from the expression on his face, and explained to him: "Ning Hu Chang Princess Zhao Jun married Hu Hanxie, although it is not well known in the whole country, at least the capital

It has been spread all over the world, and this must never be changed.Those who are married now, regardless of their surname Han or Lin, they are always Wang Zhaojun. You must remember this! " "Yes, yes!" Shi Xianwei said with fear and shame: "I am ignorant." "I understand what you asked just now. You are asking, is the real Wang Zhaojun, the fake Korean?" "Yes! It's fake Korean." "I want to make her a concubine. This matter has to be handled by the Queen Mother. I'm not busy right now." "In my humble opinion, if the emperor has already decided, it seems appropriate for the princess to be married to move into the Li Palace."

"That's not bad." The emperor replied, "Shi Heng will follow through on the decree." "Yes! But here is a bit of a hindrance. If the fake Korean has no name, then one in the Shen Palace and one in the Li Palace will become two princesses of Ninghu, which is very inappropriate." "En, um! That's even better!" The emperor pondered for a while and said, "In this case, the matter of emigration should be put on hold for now. Wait for the empress dowager to approve the concubine, and then handle it together." "yes!" "Where's Mao Yanshou?"

The emperor asked about this headache again.Shi Xian thought to himself, although an eyeliner reported that he had seen a sneaky person snooping near the hotel, maybe Mao Yanshou was taking refuge with Hu Hanxie again.But it's inconvenient to say this directly, otherwise the emperor would be very dissatisfied with Hu Hanxie, and maybe even cancel the marriage, wouldn't it cause trouble that is hard to end? But it's not straight, so what should I say?I made excuses over and over again, and I felt very embarrassed. On the contrary, the emperor was sympathetic and couldn't bear to chase after him. "A traitor Mao, as long as he has never escaped from the country, there is always a way to catch him and impose a strict punishment. This is not your business alone. You should discuss it with Zhi Jinwu!"

"Yes!" Shi Xian quit the palace, thinking about things all the way out of the palace, the matter is getting more and more difficult!If nothing happens, it all depends on careful planning. If you make a wrong step, troubles will come one after another.After much deliberation, the most important thing now is to catch Mao Yanshou.Only when Mao Yanshou is caught can the whole truth be revealed.Only when we know the truth can we know what loopholes are there, and we should make up for them. Back at the prime minister's mansion, first call your confidants to discuss.Shi Gandang believed that although the emperor had a face-to-face order to discuss with Zhi Jinwu, he didn't have to follow it, "Of course this matter should be pushed to Zhi Jinwu. It’s unreasonable to ask him for advice, this will damage the prestige of the Prime Minister.” He said: “Besides, the success is imminent, so why let Zhi Jinwu pick up a ready-made bargain?”

"Sure enough, success is imminent, so of course there is no need to ask others. However," Shi Xian said suspiciously, "I don't know what is imminent achievement. Could it be that you are sure that you will be able to catch Mao Yanshou within three to five days?" "Yes!" Shi Gandang agreed loudly.As soon as he uttered it, he felt that the words should not be too full, so he added another sentence: "About six or seven points." "If you're more than half sure, it's good." Shi Xian asked happily, "Tell me, how did you come to be six or seven points sure?"

Shi Gandang has a plan, but it is inconvenient to make it public, because first, Shi Xian will never agree to it, and second, he may leak the news, so that Mao Yanshou flees first. "Say it!" Shi Xian urged. "Master Xiang!" Shi Gandang said in a half-joking tone with a smile that he was favored by himself: "The secret must not be revealed. If it is revealed, it will not work. Please just pretend that I didn't say it." over this sentence.If I can catch it within three to five days, Mr. Xiang will reward me heavily, otherwise let's just pretend it didn't happen. "

Shi Xian couldn't help laughing, "You're just making a fool of yourself!" He added: "I have an idea, you might as well give it a try." Shi Xian used the method of playing hard to get, acquitted Yang Bixian, and secretly sent someone to follow him. Maybe he would know where Mao Yanshou was hiding. If he went to find the master, it would become a lantern that illuminated the way. Shi Xian's plan was also handed over to Shi Gandang.Shi Gandang thinks that this does not conflict with his plan, and may be helpful, so he is happy to follow. Yang Bixian was released, of course he was very happy.When he was released from prison and went home, he didn't leave the house. The follower kept watch for two days and two nights, but there was no movement. Shi Gandang decided to follow his own plan.

Just when I was about to take people out, a new situation suddenly appeared.There is a small official in Shi Xian's mansion, named Li Shou, who is very capable, but he doesn't know how to brag and flatter horses, so in front of Shi Xian, he is not as popular as Shi Gandang.This time Mao Yanshou was hunted down. He watched with cold eyes, thinking that he had gone the wrong way!Mao Yanshou is full of cunning and can try to hide anywhere.But his weak wife and young son had to find a place to settle down, and if he could find this place, he would naturally be able to track down Mao Yanshou's whereabouts.So Li Shou searched without changing his expression, and finally found out some of Mao Yanshou's whereabouts from You Wu, a friend of Mao Yanshou.Li Shou designed You Wu to wait for Mao Yanshou to save his wife and children at home, but Mao Yanshou used tricks to escape.Li Shou did not catch Mao Yanshou, but his wife.Later, Shi Gandang led the men himself, and Qiao dressed up. One of them was Tian Yue, carrying a basket of flowers. He saw a man who looked like Mao Yanshou, and tried to capture him alive, but Mao Yanshou escaped again. Mao Yanshou fled to Yiguan and asked Hu Hanxie for help.

"Mao Yanshou!" Hu Hanxie pointed to Zhaojun's picture and said, "You don't look like a picture." "What?" Mao Yanshou was very unconvinced: "Shanyu, you keep saying that this picture of mine doesn't look like it?" Pointing to his nose, he asked, "You mean I don't look like Wang Zhaojun?" "What are you arguing with me?" Hu Hanxie pointed at Hu Litu and said, "Ask him, does he look like him?" It turns out that Hanwen has pretended to be Ninghu Princess Wang Zhaojun and moved to Shanglinyuan, only to be married by the Queen Mother. Hu Hanxie is shocked by Zhaojun's reputation, and he is eager to see the color, and discusses with Shi Xian, hoping to meet first.This is a difficult question, but it is not convenient to refuse.Shi Xian had no choice but to express in this way, only to take a look from a distance indiscriminately, if there is a formal meeting, without this rule, it will be difficult to obey. So Shi Xian arranged for Hu Hanxie to hide in the woods of Shanglin Garden, and asked Han Wen to take a maid to pretend to be wandering, showing his face among the flowers.Hu Hanxie stood up and looked at it for a long time. Although he felt that the person was still beautiful, he didn't look like the picture at all, so he was depressed. "It doesn't look like it!" Hu Litu, who went to see the beauty with Hu Hanxie, said, "I asked you to go with me yesterday—" "General Hu, General Hu!" Mao Yanshou rushed to say: "How can I follow, you are really joking. As for saying that I don't look like Wang Zhaojun, I really don't believe in evil!" He tapped his forehead and thought for a while, then asked: "Shanyu, please tell me, what's the difference between people and pictures?" "It's a round face—" "Please slow down!" Mao Yanshou found a piece of silk, held a pen in his hand, and Fang Shi asked again: "Please tell me, what do you see?" "Round face, very black eyebrows, exceptionally red lips—" Hu Hanxie described in detail the appearance of "Wang Zhaojun" he saw in Shanglin Garden the day before. After he finished speaking, Mao Yanshou also finished painting, threw the pen toss, and asked airily: "Look, Is this the person? " Hu Hanxie and Hu Litu looked at the picture and said in unison: "It's her!" "No mistake?" Mao Yanshou nailed it again: "Please read carefully." "Yes! There is nothing wrong with it." Hulitu said. "Hey, hey!" Mao Yanshou laughed. "What are you laughing at?" Hu Hanxie asked. "I'm laughing at Shanyu, who has eyes but doesn't know people, and mistaken Hanwen for Zhaojun!" "What?" Hu Hanxie's face changed suddenly: "It's not Wang Zhaojun?" "No!" Mao Yanshou said clearly: "Her name is Han Wen, she is also from Zigui, Wang Zhaojun's sworn sister." Hu Hanxie's face turned blue, and he gritted his upper and lower teeth.Hu Litu had never seen Hu Hanxie so angry, rubbing his hands uneasily, wondering what would happen? However, he had to bite the bullet and persuade: "Shanyu, although this Korean script is not Wang Zhaojun, it is also very beautiful." Hu Hanxie hadn't spoken yet, but Mao Yanshou spoke again: "It's beautiful, not bad!" He said, "It's a pity that compared to Wang Zhaojun, it's a sky and a ground." one finger. This action was like adding fuel to the flames, Hu Hanxie suddenly jumped up, "I'm so mad!" He beat his chest and shouted: "Good boy Shi Xian, I have to find him." Hu Hanxie and Hu Litu left, but Shi Gandang hadn't arrived yet.Tian Yue has been reckless once, he dare not act again, he can only patiently wait for Shi Gandang. This watch lasted until noon, when Fang Jianshi Gandang came here panting, and when they met, he said: "It's broken! It's broken! Mao Yanshou has caused another catastrophe. I don't know what he said in front of Hu Hanxie What, Hu Hanxie rushed to Xiangfu and made a big fuss. Now we can't make trouble anymore!" Tian Yue was stunned: "Could it be enough to stop here?" He asked. "Temporarily stand still, but we still have to monitor it, and wait until the Prime Minister goes to Yeting to inquire and understand." "There must be spies in Ye Ting! This is a crime of liaison with foreign countries, and it will be cleared up," Shi Xian said coldly, "I'm afraid you don't have to do this Ye Ting Ling!" "Master," Shi Hengzhi replied calmly, "There are no spies in Ye Ting." Shi Xian was a little annoyed, and shouted sharply: "You still say there are no spies? You have a name and a surname, and you know that she is Wang Zhaojun's sworn sister. Isn't it obvious that the spies leaked it?" "Yes! There are spies leaking, but they are definitely not from my place." Seeing that Shi Hengzhi was so calm and confident, Shi Xian's face softened, "So, tell me, who is the spy?" He asked. "Well, I don't know. There are only two people who know that Hanwen pretends to be Princess Ninghu. One is Granny Fu. She has been in Yeting for thirty years and is very reliable." "And one more?" "No," Shi Hengzhi pointed to his nose and said, "It's me!" "Of course you won't. This old woman surnamed Fu, you call her here, and I'll ask her." "yes!" When Granny Fu came, Shi Xian asked, "Do you know what Han Wen's identity is now?" "I know." Grandma Fu replied, "It's 'Sai Zhaojun'." "Haven't you told anyone else about this?" "What's the matter! How can you talk nonsense? If I tell others, I'll get a boil on my mouth!" Before he finished speaking, Shi Hengzhi shouted: "Shut up! Why are you swearing so carelessly?" Shi Xian didn't mind, he just murmured to himself in confusion: "This is really weird! Who is this spy who has liaison with foreign countries? And which spy can know the beauties in the harem and know their names?" "Return to Xiangye, yes!" Granny Fu said quickly. Shi Xian and Shi Hengzhi were all surprised. "Who is it?" The two asked in unison. "If you say you know the beauties in the harem, you can be famous, and you can be a foreign spy, then there is no one else, it must be Mao Yanshou, who is full of evil!" "Ah, ah, it makes sense!" Shi Xian thought for a while, and then said: "No! The Korean language thing only happened in the past few days. Mao Yanshou has already escaped, how could he know that it was Sai Zhaojun?" "Master Xiang, Master Xiang!" Granny Fu was a little overjoyed and said gesticulating: "You old man, how do you know Mao Yanshou's ghost! Are you not allowed to peek at Shanglin Garden?" "Yes! Yes!" Shi Xian said to Shi Hengzhi, "Give me two pieces of silk for Grandma Fu."
