The emperor thought about it for a while, but he didn't feel too entangled. He nodded and asked, "You also asked Feng Shangshu and others to help you?"

The prince frowned, "No, I'll just tell my father directly. What can I do with them?"

The emperor then pondered, "Then who found them?"

The next day the emperor knew who was looking for them. He had no choice but to make up the story. The story compiled by Bai Shan was too exciting. What was important was that he went back to discuss it with Manbao Baierlang. The three of them checked and filled in the gaps. Seven points true, three points true.

He pretended to mix it up and charmed the classmates and their families in Guozixue to want it.

Even someone like Feng Shangshu couldn't forget the story after hearing it from his grandson, and even took the time to go to Tianlao to see Mingxue.

Good stories always spread faster, especially when they originate from a place with a strong academic atmosphere like Guozixue.

Everyone communicated after class and got together after school, so it spread from Guozixue to Taixue next door, and then to the four schools next door.

At the same time, the brothers and sisters in the family were also very interested, and the news of the reunion of the older sister and younger sister spread in the back house.

The next day after Yin Li came to court, he discussed this matter with the emperor as a casual conversation.

As Jing Zhaoyin, he would "chat" with the emperor about matters in the capital, in addition to gossip about his family, some interesting stories or involving ministers in the court.

The emperor was interested and asked: "Did Xiang Mingxue really enter a cave like a peach blossom garden after falling into the water and find martial arts secrets inside?"

Yin Li smiled slightly and said: "I also asked Feng Shangshu, and Feng Shangshu said that he asked Xiang Mingxue, and Xiang Mingxue said that he learned his swordsmanship from a knight when he was fleeing, and there was no cave."

The emperor was slightly disappointed, "But he was able to learn from a weak scholar to a knight in a short period of time. It must have been hard work."

Yin Li said: "I checked when I led the troops to Suizhou. I found that the Xiang family of Dongxizhuang was still famous in Suizhou. They moved to Suizhou during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. My ancestors had a governor in the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, the war later caused the descendants to be unworthy and there are no more."

A person can be promoted to an official position, but his direct descendants have been studying, so it can be regarded as a family of poetry and calligraphy."

The emperor sighed, thought for a while, took out the letter of request from Feng Shangshu, signed the word "approved pardon" on it, stamped it and put it aside.

Yin Li saw it, lowered his eyes and stood aside obediently.

The emperor did not pay attention to his actions and continued to ask: "When you mobilized the Western Army, have you seen their defense?"

"I've seen it. There are some minor flaws. General Lu will correct them immediately."

The emperor nodded, "Now that you've seen it, what do you think of Tibet's current fighting strength?"

Yin Li was startled, frowned and said: "It is better than what it was more than ten years ago, but since the third year of Dazhen, Tubo has already professed its vassal status to me, Your Majesty..."

The emperor then showed him a letter from the Ministry of Rites and said: "An envoy from Tubo came and said that there was a snowstorm on the grassland this year, so the annual tribute was reduced by half."

Yin Li quickly took it.

The emperor said: "I don't want to fight, but if they are ambitious, I won't be afraid. You used to lead the Western Army and guarded the border. How many troops do we need if a war breaks out between the two sides?"

It's not whether they can win, but how many troops are needed. Obviously the emperor thinks they can win.

Yin Li also felt that they would definitely win if they fought, but why did they have to fight?

As Jing Zhaoyin, he knew how big this pit was, so he pushed the blame back to the emperor, "I have been away from the border for many years and know very little about Tibet's current military strength. Your Majesty, why not call Li Shangshu to ask.

Things like war should be discussed with Li Zhen, the Minister of War, and Liu Hui, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The emperor was slightly disappointed that he could not get any advice from Yin Li, so he waved him off.

As soon as he left, the emperor handed the approved notes to Gu Zhong, especially the note asking for pardon to Xiang Mingxue, which he placed at the top, "Tell Tang Qing on duty that although the Queen Mother is ill,

But you have good ears and eyes, so keep them quiet."

Gu Zhong agreed hastily, and bent down and was about to retreat, when the emperor stopped him again, coughed lightly and said: "Ask two smart people to go out of the palace and listen to what Xiang Jia is saying outside.

The story?”

Yin Li is good at everything, but he speaks plainly and straightforwardly, with a straight face. No matter how good the story is, it will be a three-point success as soon as he relays it.

When Gu Zhong heard this, he knew that the emperor was playing tricks. He immediately raised his voice and responded, bowing and retreating.

As the chief censor, Mr. Old Tang, of course he has heard the stories circulating outside, and he knows them in more detail than anyone else.

This story was made up and spread by the three children. Thinking that he had just returned home that day and received a gift of Jianzhou local specialties from Zhou Man, he laughed out loud.

From the time when the three young men came to Beijing to now, it seems that in order not to be reminded of Magistrate Tang, they have never visited in person. Even when they were imprisoned before, their family always passed on news through Wei Zhi.

I haven't even visited him, let alone given him a gift.

By now the dust had settled, they came, and as soon as they came, a group of people from Mianzhou came to see him. The gift from his father, who was an official in Yizhou, turned out to be a special product from Jianzhou.

Mr. Old Tang took the folder to find Ji Xiang, and took Ji Xiang to find Feng Shangshu. It happened that the Yamen had not yet gone down to the Yamen.

Because there were big bosses reviewing and passing on the documents, the documents that were supposed to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment early the next morning were in the hands of Feng Shangshu not long after.

Then, after Feng Shangshu looked at Ji Xiang and Mr. Old Tang, he summoned Tao Yi, handed the certificate to him, and said, "Put those two people in the prison away."

Alright."

Tao Yi took it, glanced at the booklet, and then glanced at Ji Xiang and Mr. Old Tang who were sitting in the chief's office drinking tea. He was smart enough not to ask any more questions. He bowed and thought for a while, then called in an errand boy.

The official said: "Go to Changqing Lane, find the Bai family, and ask them to pick him up from the prison. Tell him that Your Majesty has graciously pardoned Xiang Mingxue."

The clerk quickly responded.

Tao Yi then began to prepare materials to release people in the prison.

To release a person, you don't just go to the sky jail and unlock the lock. You also have to go through the formalities. Why the person was imprisoned and why he was released must be clearly stated.

By the time Tao Yi finished writing the document, other colleagues from the Criminal Department had gone home early, so he had to work overtime and rush to the Tianlao. Zhou Man and the others were squatting on the steps in front of the Tianlao, waiting for him.

As soon as I saw him coming, I immediately jumped up and greeted him with a smile on my face.

Tao Yi couldn't help but sigh, "It's good if we have a relationship. You can feel free and convenient, but I still have to work overtime for you."

Bai Shan immediately said: "Master Tao, thanks to you taking care of us when we were in prison, we also brought you some Jianzhou specialties."

Tao Yi paused. He didn't realize that he couldn't accept the gift. He just felt strange, "Jianzhou? Aren't you from Mianzhou?"
