Report."

After all, Zhao Huan was an old official. Hearing Xian's intention, he was stunned and said: "You said there are spies from the Northern Zhou Dynasty in our house?"

Fan Xiaodao nodded.

"who?"

Zhao Xing said slowly: "Aunt Li."

"What!" Zhao Huan showed an unbelievable look, "Impossible! I brought Axun back from Quzhou back then, which is tens of thousands of miles away from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His background has been investigated. How could he be a spy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty? Zhao

Okay, you can't talk nonsense just because you don't like her."

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly.

Over the years, Aunt Li has followed Zhao Huanyan's advice and obeyed everything. If it were him, he would not doubt her. However, her name appears on Li Zhixing's list. This is an ironclad fact.

Li Xun was different from ordinary women. She was literate and very knowledgeable. She was also good at writing articles and handwriting. Over the years, many of Zhao Huan's memorials were dictated by him and written by Li Xun. If she was a spy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty,

Son, at least nothing related to the Ministry of Etiquette can be hidden from her. As for the negotiation, everything is controlled and can be explained clearly.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Yes or no, you will know once you try it."

Zhao Huan stood up, paced back and forth in the study, and slowly slowed down, he said: "Tomorrow there will be a negotiation between the Ministry of Rites and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The other party used the death of Xiao Yilu to put forward four demands, and the annual silver was increased to

Twelve million taels, retain 1,000 Northern Zhou garrison troops in Fenghuangling, establish four additional commercial ports in northern Xinjiang, and release 100 prisoners of war captured last year."

Zhao Xing asked: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Huandao: "Back then, he made a great wish to regain Phoenix Ridge before he turned fifty. Seeing that it is due next year, there will be no results if we continue to talk. His Majesty wants to agree to the other party's conditions in these few days, but now the treasury is empty. Where can he find it?

Extra money? If this is true, and the money still comes from the people, then I, Zhao Huan, have really become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Huan said to Zhao Jia outside the door: "I have a memorial to write, go and ask for my wife!"

Not long after, after hearing the jingle of rings, Li Xun, the wife of the Minister of Etiquette, came to Zhao Huan's study, accompanied by two maids. Fan Xiaodao took a look, he was in his thirties, lightly painted with pink and white, his eyebrows were like crescent moons, and his skin was beautiful.

Ruo Baixue, whose fingers are like catkins, is unparalleled in beauty. Such a charming beauty makes even a junior brother like Fan Xiaodao's heart beat faster when he sees her. No wonder she can be so obsessed with an official like Zhao Huan.

of.

From beginning to end, Zhao Xing never looked at her.

Aunt Li saw Zhao and Fan in the room and said, "It's Zhao Xing who's back!" She smiled slightly and nodded slightly to Fan Xiaodao, "It turns out there are still guests!"

Fan Xiaodao said continuously: "Hello, aunt!"

Zhao Huandao: "Madam, tonight is your birthday, but tomorrow we have a meeting with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. There is an extremely urgent memorial to be written tonight, and I have to trouble you to write it for me."

Aunt Li smiled and said: "I share the worries of the court and solve your Majesty's problems. I'm just a prostitute, and I'm not celebrating a birthday party. I was dealing with those ladies and ladies in the front yard just now, and it gave me a terrible headache. You called me here, and you can help me out."

Miles!"

Zhao Huan said to Fan and Zhao: "All the guests are here, you go to the front yard to have a drink!"

Aunt Li also said: "By the way, Lin Shilang's wife is also here. I asked about you just now. If Zhao Xing is free, you might as well go over and socialize." After saying that, she gave Zhao Xing an incomprehensible smile.

Zhao Xing looked embarrassed and turned to leave.
