Nowadays, the world is not completely peaceful, and the transmission of information is naturally quite slow. If the conclusion in the court wants to be spread to other places, ten days and a half month is considered relatively fast.

It takes three days to get from Chang'an to Luoyang by horse.

From Luoyang to Hebei, it takes another ten days to run wildly.

Since the debate over the new post station in the court, almost everyone's attention has been involuntarily directed to Hebei.

royal.

Family.

The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

King Qin’s Tiance Mansion...

Everyone was unanimous, waiting curiously for an answer.

"Where will the specially approved new station be established..."

Regardless of the millions of things in the world, they all have something in common. One only needs to know where the woman set up that inn, and everyone can guess some unusual anomalies.

When the time comes, whether you choose to avoid that inn or use that inn to start some kind of struggle, you can be prepared in advance no matter what choice you make.

It would not be like now, where everyone has no idea what the princess is thinking.

…

In this era, it would be really slow to rely solely on horses to convey messages.

But fortunately, there is another faster way to send letters.

what is it then?

Birds!

Regardless of whether it is a royal family or an aristocratic family, as long as the family is powerful enough to a certain extent, they will treat the transmission of messages as a solemn and important matter.

Therefore, we need to raise birds.

This kind of bird is a kind of falcon originating from Liaodong in the East China Sea. It has a wingspan of up to half a foot and is extremely ferocious. Not only is it good at hunting, but it can also fly as fast as thunder.

If this eagle is given a full meal before departure, it can fly thousands of miles in a day. After being tamed by humans, it is the fastest bird in this era to carry messages.

From Chang'an to Hebei, it can be reached in one day plus midnight.

From Luoyang to Hebei, it only takes one day.

Even after sending the message and waiting for a reply, the total time it takes is only about three days. In this era, communication can be regarded as timely.

…

This day is exactly the third day.

The sky was just bright and the sun had not yet risen. Suddenly, seven or eight birds of prey flew over Chang'an. The difference between them was only the time of a cup of tea.

These seven or eight birds of prey, falcons, each flew into a certain place in the city, including the Imperial City, the East Palace, the nobles of Zhuque Street, and the residences of the Dukes and Marquises.

The news from Hebei finally came back.

On this day, officials from the Tiance Mansion in Luoyang gathered together, and saw Li Shimin unfolding a small roll of silk as thin as cicada wings in his hand, and a pair of tiger eyes constantly reading the words on the silk.

"Miyun, Hebei Province, ten miles outside the city, to the southeast, there is a village. This village is very small, with only fifteen households. The village is near a big river, backed by mountains. There is also a big lake called Miyun Lake, just to the east of where the big river flows. If

Calculating the distance at the speed of a galloping horse, it took about three hundred and seventy breaths. Large rivers, large lakes, and mountains formed a circle. In the center of the circle, there was a village. According to the county annals, it was named Gujia.

Village."

This is an extremely detailed bird biography, which almost completely understands the situation of Gujia Village. It not only indicates the geographical location, but also explores the surrounding environment to the extreme.

Regardless of the rivers, lakes or the mountains behind the village, they are all described in detail in this biography. If they encounter a march and fight, the scouts can even draw a map directly based on these words.

Then Li Shimin didn't pay any attention to these detailed descriptions. He just stared at the last line at the end of the biography:

"My subordinates and others visited the four generals of the Detachment of Women, asked for news, and received the answer that the place where the specially approved post station is to be established is Gujia Village outside Miyun City."

Outside Miyun City?

Gujiacun?

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a kind of contemplation, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Xiu Ning, Xiu Ning, why on earth did she place that special inn there."

It's a pity that no one can answer Li Shimin's question.

Because there is no information about this in the Legend of Birds.

Since it was not written down, the spies obviously failed to find out.

Li Shimin suddenly handed over the letter and handed it to the courtiers present for circulation and viewing. However, he put his hands behind his back and said hesitantly again: "Gujiacun? A small village with only fifteen households? Xiuning, she said this

What happened to my life that I set up that special inn in this small Gujia Village."

He was filled with confusion and became more and more curious.

At this time, someone stood up in the crowd. It was Changsun Wuji who spoke slowly and said with a smile: "No matter what the reason is, we finally know the latest situation of the princess. Since the princess set up the inn in Gujiacun, she must be interested in this place.

Very interested, as long as we pay more attention in the days to come, we will be able to get all the answers one day..."

Unfortunately, this answer was not satisfactory to Li Shimin.

A general stood up next to him and said with the same smile: "His Royal Highness is confused when he is concerned, so he cannot see the secrets involved. The general has been thinking deeply during these days and vaguely figured out an interesting thing."

Li Shimin quickly looked at him and said hurriedly: "If Mao Gong has any speculations, please tell me quickly."

The general smiled again and said slowly: "As we all know, the princess is stubborn and tenacious. Once she decides on something, she will never regret it even after nine deaths. It is precisely because the princess has such a strong character that we saw her final suicide note a few days ago.

I think the princess must commit suicide and pass away."

He paused for a moment before saying with a smile: "During those days, His Highness was grieving, and so were the ministers. His Majesty even made a large-scale posthumous campaign, and eighteen generals personally carried the coffin, but no one expected that.

The princess did not commit suicide. This matter is obviously not in line with the princess's character..."

"What exactly is Mao Gong going to say?" Li Shimin was a little anxious and couldn't help but urge: "Don't ramble, just tell me your guess."

As a result, the general laughed and said calmly: "I think that the princess must have encountered some kind of encounter that changed her mind, or it was someone or something that changed her mind.

Whether it’s because of someone or something, the princess’s desire to die has disappeared.”

He paused again and then said: "This incident was originally going to be an unsolved case, but the princess suddenly asked the Detachment of Women to set up a post station. As a result, there was a dispute in the court, and the size of the post station was reduced ten times. Only

A special inn was specially approved to take care of the princess's face, but this specially approved inn was to be located in Gujiacun. I speculated through the above information and finally concluded that the person the princess must have encountered was a person. This person must be from Gujiacun...

…”

As expected of Xu Maogong, he inferred everything based on just a few clues.

Unfortunately, he paused again at this point. It seemed that it was not convenient to say the next words directly. He looked at a certain general with a long neck in the palace, obviously hesitating whether he should continue speaking.

The general who craned his neck to listen was Chai Shao...

…

Li Shimin glanced at Chai Shao quietly.

After also hesitating for a moment, he took Xu Maogong's place and spoke out his next guess.

But I heard Li Shimin say softly: "That person must be from Gujiacun. That person persuaded Xiuning to die. That person gave Xiuning the desire to live. That person made Xiuning give the most special person to her."

The inn is located in Gujiacun."

As expected of Li Shimin, he had already guessed why Xu Maogong was unwilling to continue talking.

Reason, Chai Shao.

But seeing that Chai Shao's face was flushed at this time, and his eyes were full of shame and anger, the guy's body seemed to be shaking, but he clenched his hands tightly to maintain restraint.

If he can become a famous general, he is certainly not an extremely stupid fool.

What Li Shimin and Xu Maogong said just now is tantamount to revealing a fact that can be easily exposed.

A woman like Princess Pingyang has such a proud and tenacious character. Since she had the ambition to seek death in her heart, even Li Shimin could not dissuade her. As a result, Princess Pingyang is still alive.

Who in this world can make that kind of heroine change her mind?

I'm afraid there is nothing more than the fierce love between men and women.

In other words, the princess met a man during these days, and it was precisely because of this man that the knot in the princess's heart was untied.

How did you untie it?

Maybe they all fell asleep!
