As soon as he left, his sister ran away from home. What happened in this short period of time?
Yin Ji took a deep breath and carefully recalled that before he went to visit his father at Prince Jin's Mansion, he was pulled aside by his sister Yin Yao and asked about Zhao Muyun's appearance.
He remembered that he didn't say anything bad to his sister.
Could it be that my sister really believed the rumors in the city and thought that Zhao Muyun was a brute with three heads and six arms, a green face and fangs?
However, the emperor was about to issue an edict to grant the marriage, so she had to get married.
Yin Yao was unwilling to accept such a life, so she ran away from home and escaped from her marriage.
It must be like this!
Yinji's face turned pale in an instant, as if he thought of something. He panicked and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", breaking into several pieces.
The fact that my sister ran away from her marriage is terrifying when I think about it.
Yin Yao fled before the emperor issued an edict, which shows that Prince Jin's Mansion secretly has people in the court and is always inquiring about the court's movements.
In addition, in the emperor's view, Yin Yao's running away from home was a violation of Emperor Yongchang's will.
Even if they said she was just a little girl who was willful and unruly, the people on the prince's side would definitely make a big fuss about it.
And if anything happens to Yin Yao, the marriage between Prince Jin's Mansion and Zhao Muyun will be ruined.
Without the bond of marriage, it is impossible for Zhao Muyun to be of the same mind as Prince Jin. So if Your Majesty uses Prince Jin as a whetstone, while Prince Jin wants to take this opportunity to seize the throne, the results will definitely be very different.
"Yin joins the army, don't panic!"
It had long been rumored that Princess Qinghe, who was to marry according to imperial order, was Yin Ji's sister. Zhao Muyun gradually became aware of this after marrying Bai Ruolan.
If it was any other princess, it would be fine, but why did she have to be the daughter of Prince Jin?
This made Zhao Muyun smell a different scent of conspiracy.
Emperor Yongchang was the emperor for forty or fifty years. Even though he was old, his mind was not bad.
Behind each of his imperial edicts, there are intentions that are difficult for ordinary people to grasp.
Emperor Yongchang had already appointed the crown prince for thirty years. As the emperor grew older, it was only a matter of time before the crown prince succeeded to the throne.
However, at this critical juncture, the emperor suddenly asked the son of Prince Jin to serve in Zhao Muyun's army, and turned a blind eye to Yinji's investment in Zhao Muyun's private salt business.
Now, he was going to marry the Prince of Jin's daughter to Zhao Muyun.
All these things seemed to be intended to push the Prince of Jin forward and create the illusion that the Crown Prince had an extra competitor for no reason.
Among them, the marriage between Zhao Muyun and Princess Qinghe became a pawn in the royal power struggle.
When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, not only will Zhao Muyun's path to advancement be blocked, but he may also end up with his head and body separated.
Zhao Muyun only wants to grow and develop at the border, making himself extremely powerful so that he can calmly deal with the ever-changing situation in the future.
For Zhao Muyun, the departure of Princess Qinghe was just the right thing to do to resolve his current predicament.
"Your sister must be playing around and being willful. She left home to have some fun for a few days. When she gets tired of playing, she'll go back on her own."
Zhao Muyun pretended to be worried and greeted with concern.
Yinji was stunned by the news of his sister's running away and didn't notice the subtle changes in Zhao Muyun's expression at all.
He also believed that Zhao Muyun genuinely cared about her sister.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm afraid things are not that simple, Master..." Yinji spoke with difficulty, his voice so dry that it didn't sound like his own.
"Your sister ran away from home. I'm sure your father is even more anxious than you are. As soon as he heard the news, he should have immediately sent people to look for her. I know what you mean. You want to go back to Jinyang to help find her."
Zhao Muyun said calmly, "I agree that you can go back and look for someone, but I remind you that even if you go back, it will be of no use."
Yin Ji hesitated for a moment, then his eyes became firm, as if he had made up his mind: "Master, my younger sister grew up in the mansion and seldom traveled far. Even so, I am still worried about her safety, so please... "
Zhao Muyun raised his hand to interrupt him, saying coldly: "If that's the case, then there's no need to say more. Yin joins the army, I approve!"
Hearing that Zhao Muyun's tone seemed suddenly much more unfamiliar, Yinji couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
But words are spoken and water spilled, so Yinji can only grit his teeth and go on with it.
"Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave now!" Yinji bowed and left in a hurry.
"Captain Zhao, General Yin is so concerned about his sister running away from home. He truly has a deep brotherly love!"
Looking at Yinji's hurriedly leaving back, Tang Yanhai sighed.
"Yes!" Zhao Muyun smiled faintly.
Then he turned around, picked up a wolf-hair brush from the table, and scribbled a few words on the paper. He dried the ink, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Li Si: "Give this note to Wang Tiezhu, who doesn't collect it at night, and tell him to burn it after reading it."
"Yes, sir!" After taking the note, Li Si turned and left.
Destroy after viewing?
Tang Yanhai frowned suddenly, looking thoughtful.
......
After a while, Han Zhong and Wu Shangzhi, who had received the message, rushed over.
When the two saw Tang Yanhai coming back, they looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.
Is there any confirmed news about the Tatars appearing in the Gobi Desert west of Xichuan Grassland?
"Old Han, Xiao Wu, you are here, please sit down! Old Tang, please briefly explain the situation to everyone first." Zhao Muyun spoke concisely and calmly.
When Tang Yanhai finished describing the situation of the Tartars in the Gobi Desert, Han Zhong and Wu Shangzhi were shocked:
"It's Timur! He's a formidable foe and shouldn't be underestimated. And the one we killed at Yixiantian was also one of his men."
"With his cunning, he will soon find the salt lake by following the narrow path. Then, the Wuhuan brothers who stay in the salt lake to dry salt will be in trouble."
