"King Huaiyang, I have brought all the meaning of the Empress. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it!"

In the Huaiyang Palace, Chen Yi, who had a secret conversation with the Huaiyang King, stood up and said goodbye. After Li Daomin's polite attempt to keep him, he started and left.

It was already dark outside and the curfew began, but Chen Yi, who had a special mission, was not worried about the investigation of the Jinwu Guard soldiers who were patrolling the night. He could almost have free contact at night in Chang'an! Today he had a happy relationship with Wu Zetian. After the passion dissipated, he went directly to the Huaiyang Palace. Tomorrow, Murong Nuo Hobo and Prince Honghua returned to visit their relatives. He would pay attention to the preparations here. Of course, the main purpose of his visit was to discuss some secret matters with Li Daomin. Of course, that was also what Wu Zetian meant. Wu Zetian hoped that through the persuasion of King Li Daomin of Huaiyang, Princess Honghua would influence Murong Nuo Hobo, so that they would give up returning to Qinghai, live in Chang'an and enjoy their old age.

This time Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua came to Chang'an, Chen Yi suggested that Wu Zetian should not let them go, and solve all the matters in Qinghai, so that Qinghai would become a place where the Tang Dynasty was actually governed. There was no need for Tuyuhun Kingdom to exist. The small Xianbei country established by the Murong family was then included in the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian finally agreed with Chen Yi's suggestion and asked him to take charge of this matter with one hand.

Chen Yi did a lot of things under the banner of Wu Zetian. Li Daomin had to do some work here, so that the father would play the card of family affection and arouse Princess Honghua's thoughts of returning home. Of course, this goal would not be achieved by relying solely on family affection. In the next time, Qinghai would have actions and cooperate with the acting here. The ultimate goal was to make Murong Nuo Hebo give up on rebuilding the Tuyuhun Khanate and voluntarily abandon the domestic support. In this way, Murong Nuo Hebo could still retain the title of prince and stay in Chang'an. Princess Honghua would not have to return to Qinghai again, and could live in the capital forever until her old age!

Chen Yi almost made a guarantee in Wu Zetian, saying that he would definitely allow Murong Nuo-Hub and Princess Honghua to stay in Chang'an forever, but he was still a little worried about whether he could achieve this. However, he would do his best, and he believed that he could do it because he had a helper. That was Su Dingfang, the chief inspector of the new Zhengshi Hall.

After leaving the Huaiyang Palace, it was already time to take the lanterns and the streets were dark. The followers lit up lanterns and prepared to return home.

After walking for a while, Chen Yi remembered something again and told his followers not to return to the mansion for the time being, and to go to the Duke Xing’s mansion.

The carriage immediately turned around and headed towards the Duke Xing's mansion.

Lu Yi encountered several teams of Jinwu Guard soldiers patrolling, but after learning about Chen Yi's identity, they did not interrogate and make things difficult, so they let them go. Chen Yi is now a popular person in front of Empress Wu Zetian. All Jinwu Guard soldiers knew that no one dared to cause trouble, let alone that they were doing things under the order of the Empress.

Su Dingfang was still very surprised when Chen Yi came to visit at night, but without asking much questions, he took Chen Yi into the study. When he came to visit at night, there was nothing special about it and would not be so hurrying. After the two sat alone, Su Dingfang was not polite and asked directly: "Zi Ying, come here so late, do you have anything important to you?"

"Duke Xing, I want to ask you something about Qinghai!"

"If you have anything, just ask!" Su Dingfang smiled.

Su Dingfang's generous smile made Chen Yi feel warm in his heart, and he immediately said: "Can you tell me in detail about the military strength of Tuyuhun led by Murong Nuo Hobo? "

"sure!"

------------

When they left the Duke Xing's mansion, it was almost three o'clock. Before they knew it, the two chatted for more than an hour. From Su Dingfang's mouth, Chen Yi learned more about Murong Nuo Hobo and his family. He even guessed the reason why Murong Nuo Hobo brought a pair of twin daughters to Chang'an. When he rode back to his mansion, Chen Yi was still thinking about Su Dingfang's advice and guarantees, and was relieved a lot.

With this elder helping him, he has more confidence in fulfilling his promises in front of Wu Zetian.

The next morning, Chen Yi escorted Murong Nuo-Hub, Princess Honghua and Murong Qing. Murong Ping went to the Huaiyang Palace, but he was just escorting the group of people for a while, and then said goodbye immediately after he arrived. If he continued to stay there, it would be too hindering the family affection. Princess Honghua had been separated from his parents for more than 20 years and met again. It might take several days and nights before he could finish his words. How could he disturb him there! He was not waiting outside the mansion, and he had a lot of things to be responsible for. How could he stay there? He could not chat and have fun with the sisters Murong Qing and Murong Ping alone. After instructing his subordinates to report any situation to him at any time, he took his entourage back and went straight to the military weapon supervisor.

The firearms in the army have been being updated, developed and improved, and there are a large number of wooden grenades equipped with the army. However, because there is no war around now and there is no place for these new weapons to be used, Chen Yi is still unable to interfere in the affairs of the army and cannot arrange the soldiers in the army to train the attack performance of these firearms. He can only advise Wu Zetian, Jiang Ke, Li Jie, Su Dingfang and other military bosses.

Now he cannot do things beyond his authority. All he can do is to do is to do his job well first, military weapon supervision affairs, and assist Jiang Ke in doing a good job in military system reform. He has also done a lot of work on military system reform, of course, mainly to formulate systems, plans, etc., and he does not need to personally arrange specific matters. He is responsible for other officials from other Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel and other relevant ministries and commissions. However, he has mastered the affairs of military weapon supervision, and all plans come from him. He is responsible for the development, testing, and production of weapons, and even Jiang Ke will not interfere.

There was no need to worry about the Huaiyang Palace. Chen Yi also focused on his own work and went to a weapon-making workshop to inspect it. It was not until the evening that he received a report from his subordinates that Murong Nuo's souvenir had returned to the inn, and Princess Honghua, Murong Qing and Murong Ping were left at the Huaiyang Palace for the night.

Chen Yi was relieved when he heard this.

Wu Zetian and Chen Yi hope to keep Murong Nuo's sacred bowl in Chang'an, at least this summer can control him in Chang'an.

This goal is actually easy to achieve. Chen Yi also knew that for various reasons, Murong NuoHub did not intend to leave Chang'an in a short period of time. He wanted to stay in the capital of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. In addition to establishing good relations with important officials in the court and gaining more benefits for Tuyuhun, he also wanted to find a good family for his twin daughters and consolidate his position in Qinghai through political marriage. His marriage to Princess Honghua was a political marriage. The Tang Dynasty made the royal family daughter a princess and married him as his wife. The purpose was to make Tuyuhun always loyal to the Tang Dynasty, no longer cause chaos, and add trouble to the borders of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Yi did not go to Murong Nuo and Hebo alone to talk to him, and he had to wait until Princess Honghua came back.

However, while he was waiting, Wu Zetian also used his moves. After Princess Honghua stayed in the Huaiyang Palace for two days and two nights, she summoned Murong Nuo Hebo and Princess Honghua into the palace to speak early on the third morning.

Chen Yi was also called in. He was the main official in charge of receiving the mission led by Murong Nuo Hobo this time. Wu Zetian summoned Murong Nuo Hobo to talk to Princess Honghua. Of course, he had to be by his side. Some things were told to be spoken, which played the role of threading needles and attracting money between the two people.

Chen Yi didn't know what Li Daomin and his wife and their children said to Princess Honghua, but after Princess Honghua was summoned to the palace, she seemed a little confused and thoughtful.

When Wu Zetian summoned Murong Nuo Hobo and Princess Honghua into the palace, the couple did not exchange any opinions on the matters in the province and Beijing. One was directly taken from the Huaiyang Palace, while Murong Nuo Hobo came to the Daming Palace from the Honglu Temple Inn. What Wu Zetian wanted was this effect, which made the couple lose their composure in front of her and could not unify their opinions to deal with some of the means she used.

Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua were given seats separately. In order to show their intimacy, Wu Zetian asked Princess Honghua to sit next to her and sit on the same bed. She also held her hand and asked about her life during this period with great concern.

"Xiang'er, it has been more than twenty years since you left Chang'an and arrived in Qinghai. In the past twenty years, I have often missed you. When Tuyuhun was in trouble a few years ago, I wanted to take you back to Chang'an, for fear that you would suffer in Liangzhou." When Wu Zetian said this, he deliberately glanced at Murong Nuo's Hopper, with the meaning of suffering in his eyes. This look made Murong Nuo's Hopper tremble. This can be said to be his shame. His ministers openly colluded with the Tubo people and led the Tubo army to Qinghai. Fuqi City was captured. He led Princess Honghua and his children to lead less than 2,000 tents and more than 10,000 people to Liangzhou to seek protection. He felt a little ashamed when he remembered his embarrassed appearance back then.

Wu Zetian was satisfied with the change in Murong Nuo's expression, and immediately changed his smile, continued to hold Princess Honghua's hand, and said pity: "You rarely go back to Chang'an. This time you have to live for a while before going back. It is not appropriate to stay in the inn. Not only does it lose your identity, it also brings a lot of inconvenience. Let me give you a mansion to have a residence in Chang'an. Let Chen Yi and Chen Dajian take charge of this matter. If you are convenient tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, please go with him to see the house. If you are not satisfied, just tell him directly and let him change to another place!"

"Thank you, my mother, for caring for her daughter so much, I am grateful!" Princess Honghua, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, had to agree after looking at Murong Nuo's Hobo and not getting a response from her husband.

Of course she couldn't refuse. Some of her parents' words when she returned to her house to visit her parents made her know what was behind Wu Zetian. If she refused today, who would know what would happen? (To be continued.
