Bai Shan looked at the envelope and saw his and Man Bao's names were written on it. He handed the letter, which was clearly written by Bai Erlang, to Man Bao, and sat cross-legged on the kang to open the other letter.

This is a letter written by Yin You to them. It has five pieces of paper. However, it is still far behind Bai Erlang's because Bai Erlang's is a thick stack. It is still very thick when it is unfolded. Man Bao counted them.

, there are twelve in total.

She opened the letter and read it for a long time without finishing it. Seeing that Bai Shan was deep in thought after reading another letter, she put Bai Erlang's letter aside and asked, "Who wrote it?"

Bai Shan handed the letter to her and said: "It was written by Yin You. He said that in July, because his three sisters blocked us in the street and sent people to make trouble in Jishi Hall, a censor impeached his father. Within two seconds, his father was impeached.

His father was sent out for inspection the next day."

Bai Shandao: "He suspected that his father had gone to mobilize troops."

Man Bao's eyes widened.

Fearing that the walls had ears, Bai Shan lowered his voice so low that even Xiang Chao on the side couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

But I saw them muttering after opening the letter, knowing that they were guarding against other people in the prison, so even though I was anxious to know, I didn't say anything.

Bai Shan lowered his voice and said: "He said that his sister and brothers-in-law had also gotten into trouble before. Although the imperial censor also impeached him, most of them were blamed on my brothers-in-law. Even if my father was scolded, the worst he could do was to defend himself.

If you pull the strings for a month or two, the matter will probably be left unsolved, so it's not a big deal."

"But like in July, this is the first time that the emperor directly asked his father to go out for inspection." Bai Shan whispered: "Last night, he asked Changshou to quietly find the servant who had recently sent a peace letter to his family.

, I found out that his father sent letters to his family every ten days without interruption, and when I asked, they were all sent from Youzhou."

Man Bao blinked and asked in a low voice: "They want to mobilize troops from Youzhou?"

Bai Shan shook his head. He thought carefully and said, "Yin may say this is confusing, and I think so. If the emperor really sent Yin Li to mobilize troops early, it should be from Minzhou or Songzhou.

It is more convenient to mobilize troops in this area than in Youzhou."

Bai Shan pondered for a moment and then said: "But Songzhou is too close to Maozhou. Since the King of Yizhou has even controlled Suizhou, Songzhou should not let it go. If I were the emperor, I should mobilize troops from Minzhou. That would be more convenient."

Safety."

Man Bao: "Those who leave in July should arrive in August. Even if they march slowly, they should arrive in Yizhou in early September."

Bai Shan whispered: "Minzhou soldiers and horses have to be on guard against Tibet. They must make arrangements before leaving. Moreover, the march requires food and grass. It is not easy for the emperor to avoid the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. What's more, September is the Queen Mother's birthday.

I think the emperor’s original intention is to give the Queen Mother a good birthday.”

He said: "When we first entered the capital, wasn't he in no hurry at all? It was because of the conflict between the third prince and the prince that he wanted to divert the trouble away."

Bai Shandao: "I guess he originally wanted to start in October or November."

Man Baolue understood after thinking about it, "At that time, the King of Yizhou should have left Beijing and returned to Yizhou, but he did not go back. There was no news on the way, so he directly took the King of Yizhou's retreat. As soon as he entered Yizhou

The city was in his hands, and Yin Li captured the King of Yizhou in Yizhou City, and even executed him. The Queen Mother was beyond his reach, so the resistance was much smaller."

Bai Shan nodded and whispered: "We will be much safer. Moreover, it will snow in Tubo in October and November. The relationship between the two sides has been good in the past two years. It is freezing, so there should be no war.

It was not a big problem for the past month or two if the border was tight on the outside and loose on the inside."

Man Bao gritted his teeth, "They were all harmed by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince."

Bai Shandao: "It is certainly because of the instigation by King Yizhou, but it is also true that the third prince is ambitious. According to the discussions of the classmates in Guozixue, there have been many fights between the prince and the third prince in the past two years. They are obviously from the same mother.

The relationship has never been good."

Man Bao was curious: "What about two years ago?"

"The relationship used to be good. Although the prince was strict, he was kind to his brothers and sisters. However, the prince has been childless for many years, not even a daughter. The third prince gave birth to his eldest son two years ago.

He should have become a vassal, but the emperor loved him and never let him go. At first, the prince didn't think it was a big deal, but..."

Bai Shan raised his eyes to look at Man Bao and whispered: "Do you know that people's hearts change?"

After all, she had read a lot of history books, and also read a lot of unofficial history books that Keke had found for her. Of course she knew, and she quickly found the crux of the matter.

"The prince has low self-esteem. First he messed up his own situation. The third prince was too ambitious. He tricked his own eldest brother and parents, and also tricked us. Then the emperor also loved this and that too. He was the emperor, but he also

Do you want a bowl of water to be balanced?"

Bai Shan nodded, "That's right, he is the emperor, how can he think about a bowl of water being equal? ​​Do he want to divide the world into equal parts and give it to his legitimate son?"

Man Bao gritted his teeth for a while, but this was a matter for the superiors. Although they were affected, there was nothing they could do even if they knew about it.

Man Bao looked at Bai Shan, "So what should we do?"

"Now that we are all in prison, it depends on whether Yin Li moves quickly or not. If it is fast, not only us but also the two of them should be able to leave the prison for the winter."

The two of them took a look at the letter written by Yin Li and took it to the stove to burn it. There were too many things written on it, and the speculations were too confidential, but they could not be leaked to the outside world.

When Xiang Chao saw it, he quickly asked, "Whose letter is this and what is written in it?"

Man Bao took out Bai Erlang's letter again and read it. Bai Shan replied: "Our friend told me something about the situation in the court. He wants to help. We are afraid that if it leaks out and others know about the trouble caused by his father and brother,

So it was burned."

Man Bao nodded.

Bai Erlang wrote a lot of things in the letter. He originally wanted to come in person, but his family stopped him.

The cousin's grandmother said that it was useless for him to go. Xiang Chang wanted to see how the Xiang brothers were doing, and to reassure the Xiang family, after all, now that the three families were in alliance, each family could only produce one child.

Therefore, Lao Zhou's family also wanted to go alone, and he had to see with his own eyes that Man Bao was safe.

As for the Bai family, my cousin felt that Daji was more reliable than Bai Erlang and could pay attention to the environment in the prison, so she suppressed Bai Erlang both times.

Even Bai Erlang was not willing to deliver the letter to him, and Bai Erlang was not stupid. He directly packed the books for Bai Shan and others, and then put the letter inside.

Bai Erlang said that he had collected all the writing in Bai Shan's study for him, and he would also take care of Man Bao's flowers and plants. Ji Shi Tang also asked for leave, and he could no longer go to school. Even he

The eldest brother can't go because strangers have been lingering outside their house since this morning.

But Bai Erlang didn't do nothing. He planned to work with Yin He to connect their best classmates in school. Once the evidence was confirmed, they would go to Kong Jijiu and ask him to get people from prison.
