Chapter 305: An imperial power bureau
After Tieying finished speaking, Fu Zhen and the other two couldn't help but hold their breath.

Earlier, Fu Zhen had repeatedly thought about Xu Yin's various irrationalities, and had realized that it was not easy for him to appear on the northwest battlefield. In addition, Zhou Yi appeared later, and the Pegasus he got from Zhou Yi's side. Token - yes, this sign is the same as the tattoo on Tie Ying's body. They all recognize it. With the above evidence, even if they are not sure whether Xu Yin is a descendant of Prince Yi's Mansion, his identity as a Dayue man can be revealed.

Now that he accidentally kidnapped a Tieying from Xu Yin, he didn't expect to have a deeper suspicion about Xu Yin.

Fu Zhen asked: "The imperial power struggle between your king and King Yi ended two years before the founding of the Kingdom of Zhou Dynasty. According to your words, they were well prepared at the beginning of the fight, so they still have to spend this time to Move forward. Xu Yin is twenty-four years old this year, the 22nd year of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. So Xu Yin should have been born in the year when your king won the battle for imperial power. How could he be a descendant of King Yi? How old was the second son who was expelled when he left the house? "

Liang Ning was twelve years old when he met Xu Yin. He admitted so himself. Liang Ning and everyone around him visually judged his age to be eleven or twelve years old. Even if there was room for fraud, he was only one or two years old. Unlike adults, there is a possibility of nonsense within the age of ten.

Let's talk about it again, even if Xu Yin really lied about his age by a year or two, it would still not change the nature of the matter!

Even if he were five years younger, there was no way he would be the age of the second son who was expelled from the mansion by King Yi!
"General, General Liang and the others are here!"

As soon as Fu Zhen asked the doubts in his heart, Guo Song came to report.

Everyone in the room looked back, and before they could say anything, Liang Chen and Liang Zhi had already strode in, and along with the footsteps came their rapid questions: "Where are the people who are holding them? Are they all awake?" !”

When the words fell, they had already arrived in the house. When they saw the room full of people, they were immediately startled. Then they quickly discovered Tieying on the ground, and they hurried forward in unison: "Is that him? Xu Yinfei Is he the one who worked so hard to bring him to the capital?"

Pei Zhan followed his gaze and looked over: "It's him. He is from the Tie family of Dayue Kingdom. Just now he said that Xu Yin might have been expelled from Prince Yi's Mansion under false pretenses, but in fact it was to preserve his strength. Descendants of the royal family.”

Not surprisingly, Liang and Chen were immediately shocked and solemn.

Tieying looked at him: "Are you Liang Chen? The Liang family who saved Xu Yin?"

The fathers of Liang Chen and Liang Zhi died in the northwest respectively. Facing the people of Dayue, especially the people who were close to the king of Dayue, they really can't be friendly. But compared to these, it is obviously more important to let out the secrets hidden in his stomach as soon as possible.

Liang Chen said: "Where did you ask?"

Fu Zhen answered: "Speaking of Xu Yin being suspected to be a descendant of Prince Yi's Mansion, but his age does not match the age of Prince Yi's second son Duan Mian." At this point, she motioned to Tieying: "You answer."

Tieying said: "The year King Yi expelled his second son was twenty-eight years ago. At that time, Duan Mian, the second son of King Yi, was fifteen years old. Xu Yin is not the second son of King Yi, but he is most likely Duan Mian's son. , the grandson of King Yi."

Fu Zhen took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence he said, "Twenty-eight years have passed. In the past twenty years or so, your monarch had the energy to provoke Zhou. Why didn't he follow Duan Mian?"

"Because we didn't know that this person existed before, let alone that King Yi would leave his hidden troops and Jingwei to Duan Mian before he was defeated."

"When did you know that? And how did you know it?"

Tieying thought for a moment: "According to your year name, it should be in the eighth year of Shengyuan."

Fu Zhen frowned: "In the eighth year of Shengyuan, you have already caused trouble on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

To be precise, the first war between the two countries started in the sixth year of Sheng Yuan Dynasty.

"It was that time." Tie Ying looked sideways at the ground, "Coincidentally, it was discovered that there was someone secretly in Prince Yi's Mansion, and it was also because of the war between our two countries. There was a lack of food outside the customs. After more than ten years of fighting for imperial power, Da Yue During the war, all the tribes were sending money to seek foreign aid. By the time the king came to the throne, the country was already empty. "

Fu Zhen said in a manly voice: "So you start to fight against the Central Plains."

What the hell is this?
However, what he said was true, because when Pei Zhan took the dagger to ask Taifu Gu for confirmation earlier, Taifu Gu said that when the Zhou Dynasty was founded, he was responsible for cleaning up the treasury and discovered many foreign gangs. Most of the tribute treasures came from Da Yue, and the dagger named Han Yue was just a tribute from Prince Yi's Palace to the previous royal family.

She said, "Tell me, why did you discover that Duan Mian's existence was related to your harassment of Da Zhou?"

"In the eighth year of the Sheng Yuan Dynasty, after two years of fighting, Da Yue did not take advantage of much, so the monarch began to raise military pay at home, but more importantly, he was looking for people who were good at martial arts. After all, only by strengthening the army and entering the Central Plains as soon as possible can we obtain Endless food and fertile land. The imperial court searched for talents everywhere, and in the process, they caught the surviving officials of Prince Yi's palace, and while discovering them, they also discovered several Qingke who had received favors from Prince Yi before the Qing Dynasty. In the letters sent out, there are traces of Duan Mian hiding in the Central Plains."

Tieying started coughing when he said this.

Pei Zhan asked the guard to bring him a cup of tea, and then looked at Fuzhen: "You went to the northwest before me. You know more about what happened between the eighth and fifteenth years of Shengyuan than I do."

Fu Zhen took a deep breath: "That's right. Da Yue didn't lie about fighting Da Zhou."

She turned eight years old in the eighth year of Sheng Yuan Dynasty. It happened to be that year that she went to the northwest.

She looked at Tie Ying, who had finished drinking tea and had stopped coughing and wheezing: "Where did you find Duan Mian at that time?"

"At that time, I only knew that they were in the Central Plains, and the specific location was not clear. However, they did not seem to have a fixed location."

"Why do the surviving subordinate officials and Qingke of Prince Yi Palace stay in Dayue?"

"Because they have not given up the fight for the imperial power and stayed in Dayue. They are preparing to cooperate with Duan Mianli and wait for an opportunity to counterattack when Dazhou attacks Dayue!"

Fu Zhen's eyes showed some sarcasm unconsciously. But she quickly continued to ask: "Where is Duan Mian now? Have you caught him?"

"He died. Two years later, the monarch sent someone to ambush him in a small town in the northwest. When he came to meet with the palace officials, he killed him and the wife he later married, and took the body with him at the same time. Back to Dayue."

Fu Zhen frowned: "In what month did you kill him?"

"July."

Fu Zhen couldn't help but look at brother Liang Chen.

The two years Tieying mentioned would be the tenth year of Shengyuan. She happened to pick up Xu Yin that year, and it happened to be October not long after!

No wonder King Dayue would identify Xu Yin, every one of these clues is correct!

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked again: "Why do you think Duan Mian still has a child alive? And he is Xu Yin?"

"Duan Mian's wife has a piece of jade that she carries with her. It is two mother-in-law jade buckled together. It looks the same, but in fact there is a chimeric joint on the reverse side. The jade that Duan Mian's wife has is a mother-in-law jade. The child jade is missing. . And when she died, she still had a child's blouse at hand.

"It was July, and it was hot in the northwest. It was normal for your child to take off his coat and give it to his mother because he couldn't bear the heat."

Fu Zhen held his breath when he heard this. She did see a piece of jade on Xu Yin once, and later she also saw a very similar piece of jade on Lian Jun!
She asked: "Where's that piece of jade?"

Tie Ying shook his head: "I don't know. It may not be important. At that time, the most important thing for our monarch was whether there was such a child? If so, where is he?"

"Did you find it later?"

Tie Ying shook his head again: "No. The war then intensified, and our monarch was not allowed to relax at all. In other words, when facing the powerful Zhou generals, it didn't matter whether there was still this child left in Prince Yi's palace. So it didn't matter. It wasn’t until not long ago that I learned these inside stories from our master.”

"Your master?" Everyone recalled, "It's the prince Lian Yang that your emperor placed in the mansion of the mighty general Lian Qing. Then where did you flee when your country was destroyed?"

"It's nothing more than hiding in Tibet. General Lian is a loyal minister. His master has been protected by the Lian family since he was a child. Even when the city was destroyed, he was surrounded by dozens of civil and military followers. I rushed to the Lian family and took him away. Later, he was in Yucheng settled down.”

Pei Zhan frowned: "How many troops do you have left?"

Tieying pursed his lips subconsciously. When he raised his head, his eyes fell on the tough generals in front of him, and then he unconsciously lowered his head: "After the general died, all his soldiers were treated as prisoners and surrendered. But , but we have contacted some of the Imperial Guards from far north."

"You gathered these people to restore the country?"

Tie Ying gritted his teeth: "Whether or not we can regain our country should have nothing to do with you, right? As long as we, Da Yue, no longer send troops to Da Zhou, you should not interfere in the affairs of our country!"

Even though Lian Yang was protected as the only bloodline of the Dayue royal family, he naturally had hopes of restoring the country.

But according to the current situation of Dayue, it is true that the restoration of the country has little to do with the Great Zhou. In other words, if the Great Zhou has no spare power to take over their land, Dayue will always have an emperor. The culprits who started the war are dead. Even if his heir ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor to continue the country, it will no longer affect the overall situation.

In the end, the stability of the two countries depends on who is stronger and who has the final say, not on endless killings.

Of course, going to war is not a matter of talking to each other right now.

Pei Zhan said again: "According to your current situation, you should protect Lian Yang. How come you traveled thousands of miles to Tanzhou? How did you find Xu Yin?"

Perhaps he also felt that his previous reply was too tough, which was very detrimental to him at the moment. Tieying slowed down his tone and once again took a cooperative stance: "After the fighting stopped last winter, the pass was able to enter and exit again. There is news that When they arrived at Yucheng, they heard that Xu Yin, the Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was very similar to the deceased King Yi.

"At that time, King Yi was the most fiercely vying for the throne with our monarch, and there was still some old enmity between them. Our master sent me to check his details. This investigation revealed that he had many connections with King Yi's second son. Duan Mian has something to do with it, whether it's the time or place when he was rescued by the Liang family.

"But the most important thing is that I followed the clues and found out who the current monarch of Dayue is."

Pei Zhan narrowed his eyes: "How is he?"

Tie Ying looked at him: "Do you remember that when you invaded Dayue Capital City, the current king Duan Hong once provided you with a map of the imperial city?"

Pei Zhan said: "Remember."

Tie Ying snorted coldly: "Duan Hong is a descendant of the clan who is seven or eight generations away from the direct branch of the royal family. Their branch has declined to nothing but an empty shell. It can be said that it is not ranked. But he suddenly jumped He came out and gave you a detailed map. How is this possible? "

Pei Zhan looked at him: "Of course. But he said it was passed down from his ancestors."

With the change of dynasties, the layout of the palace will not change significantly, and the ancestral stories are also credible. Anyway, the picture was very different from what he had found out, so Pei Zhan credited Duan Hong with his attitude and successfully succeeded in sitting on the throne of Dayue Emperor.

"Ancestral inheritance?" Tie Ying said, "He is really good at talking about it. If I am not wrong about that map, it was Xu Yin who secretly passed it to him!"

"You mean Xu Yin and Duan Hong have colluded?"

"I don't know." Tie Ying's eyes were a little confused, "But in the past two months, two groups of people have been asking about the Lian family."

"Two groups of people?"

"That's right." Tie Ying raised his head, "They are just two groups, not on the same road. And they are all inquiring about the whereabouts of the adopted son of the mighty General Lian Qing. When our master heard the news, he immediately sent me to find out the details of Xu Yin. In this way, I arrived in Tanzhou. As a result, before I officially entered, my northern accent betrayed me, and the man named Zhou Yi sent a large number of warriors to tie me up. "

Everyone was silent. After a while Fu Zhen said: "Are you alone?"

"There was another one, and he got away."

The room was silent again.

It wasn't until Tie Ying suddenly started to shiver and cough again that Pei Zhan stood up, waved to the guards to send Lu Chongyang in for treatment, and then led everyone out of the hospital.

There is already a line of white fish belly on the horizon, and the sound of banging can be heard in the distance.

Liang Zhi said: "Judging from Tieying's words, Xu Yin's identity can almost be confirmed. He can only be Duan Mian's son, so he can have so many conditions for doing things! And at the moment, he obviously has other agendas. Yang is thinking about reviving the country, and most of the people in Prince Yi’s Palace think so too! But Thief Xu is even more hateful, and he is still trying to drag Da Zhou along!”

Everyone looked at him and said nothing.

So far, all Xu Yin's doubts are consistent with Duan Mian's son mentioned by Tie Ying.

As long as Tieying didn't lie, all of Xu Yin's attempts were equivalent to evidence.

As for Tieying being escorted to Beijing by Xu Yin in this way, Da Zhou was no longer a threat to their master and servant. What reason did he have to tell this lie?

But this veil was suddenly lifted, and everyone's hearts were covered with another veil.

"This ambitious bitch! He killed a lot of people in our Zhou Dynasty, and he has received so many years of favor from my Liang family in vain. It turns out that he has other plans in his heart!"

Liang Chen couldn't contain his anger and hit the tree trunk next to him with his palm.

The leaves are falling one after another, which for no reason reminds people of the peach blossoms falling in the dark night on the northwest corner of Baihe Temple.

Pei Zhan thought about it and turned to look at Fu Zhen, only to see that she had not followed him just now...
