Shi Xiushen and King Yi rode their horses all the way until they arrived at the gate of the capital. It was already past the third watch. Fortunately, the team of gatekeepers recognized Shi Sijin's voice, so they were allowed to enter the capital and reported to the court.
When the ministers heard the sudden news, they were at a loss. They didn't know whether to report it to the emperor or to the prince first. They debated endlessly. In the end, Chen Tongpao overcame all opinions and temporarily placed King Yi in the court room until dawn. Do the area again.
Shi Xiushen personally went to clean up the house for King Yi. He saw that the prince was very satisfied and had lost his panic. When he saw him coming, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master Shi, what do the ministers say?"
Shi Xiushen replied: "They each have their own power, and they have been discussing it endlessly. I don't know what they are talking about. I only want you to stay in this room for one night and make other arrangements tomorrow. If not, I will come and clean it for you." .”
King Yi looked around and laughed: "This place is quite clean. What are you cleaning? Just to make things happen for a while..."
"You are the prince, I dare not treat you badly."
After Shi Xiushen finished speaking with a smile, he reached out and took out a fire seal, but King Yi snatched it away.
"I want to light the smoker for you first." Shi Xiushen pointed to the cabinet and said.
"Why do I need these things?" King Yi only used this fire stick to light a candle and placed it in front of him. "I think it's suitable even if you live in a stable. I don't think you need to clean it. You can just sit here and discuss it with me." Negotiate.”
"I was not here just now. I heard that a few people came to the court. Did anyone ask you anything?" After hearing this, Shi Xiushen stopped talking about gossip and asked straight to the point.
"They picked me up to come to the court, and they didn't say a few words along the way. But when they asked me why I came to the capital alone, I followed Master Shi's previous instructions and said, 'Go to the capital to check out the situation. The prey will be brought tomorrow. Personally dedicate it to my father."
"That's right," Shi Xiu Shen exhaled a long breath of relief, "You must not get angry because of the incident that caused the incident and pierce this layer of paper."
"But I will never let him go easily," King Yi raised his head and said resolutely, "When I see my father tomorrow, I will tell the whole story and see how King Xu can keep his position as crown prince!"
"Absolutely not!" Shi Xiushen immediately held down his arm, "The situation is still unclear. If you suddenly attack in public, I'm afraid it will only damage the emperor's face. Besides..." At this point, he He closed his mouth hesitantly and lowered his head.
"Besides what?" King Yi's eyes were filled with anger.
Shi Xiushen had no choice but to lean over and lower his voice and said, "Besides, the emperor may not be unaware of Cun Zhao's plot. Although he lives in the ninth level, he is very well-informed. He should have many informants outside, but I I’ve never been sure, and I can’t be sure… In short, be careful and don’t rush for success.”
King Yi's face suddenly became panicked. He even stood up, opened the window, and looked outside the house.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" King Yi sat down uneasily and stared at him eagerly.
"You may not understand," Shi Xiushen was silent for a while before speaking in a very calm voice, "but Shi has spent so many years like this, always feeling like he is on the edge of a cliff. As an officer in prison, I have been As I serve the emperor every day, I naturally get a lot of news from my ears, which is so much that it scares me. Even if I try every means to avoid the entanglements of the world and stay away from the disputes in the court, it will be of no avail in the end. I am willing to tell you today that it is better to go out. For a little bit of selfishness, if it had been anyone else, I would have watched him step into the abyss of eternal destruction."
"Damn it, it's so hard to be an official!" King Yi also felt unfair for him, "Why don't you find a chance to resign? Wouldn't it be fun to hunt and gallop like I usually do!"
"It's a pity that I am too selfish and not so detached from things," Shi Xiushen smiled softly, "I just can't bear to see the government continue to decline. I hope Ye Tinglong can really do something great. I have to see it with my own eyes. The country is reviving!" After hearing his praise, King Yi secretly admired Ye Yongjia.
The two chatted for a while, but Shi Xiu Shen did not dare to sit for too long. He immediately said goodbye hastily and left the court room. He then ordered the two soldiers who were escorting him to go back to the house and close their eyes for a while. When it was dawn, he hurried back to the inn to meet King Yi's army.
The two resolutely accepted the order, and they timed it very accurately. When they saw a few rays of golden light gradually coming from the east, they put on their clothes and armor, rode back to the inn, and informed the soldiers in each battalion along the way: "King Yi has arrived in the capital first! You guys, wait. Team, hurry up and follow! Don’t be slow!" He shouted all the way to Cun Zhao’s tent.
Cun Zhao was very upset at this time and had a headache. Not to mention seeing these two shouting soldiers, he wanted to kill them all. But after all, King Yi had escaped and had no leverage in his hands, so he still dared to act recklessly. He politely invited the two of them to sit down, and asked Liu Shuzhai to come and answer to show his sincerity.
Without saying a word, he immediately ordered the entire army to march out, and secretly sent people to strictly instruct his subordinates not to leak any information, and any offenders would be killed.
King Yi was filled with joy when he saw his team entering the city. He immediately asked people to carry the dead tiger into the palace and put it temporarily outside the court room, ready to be sacrificed.
"Mr. Cai, is King Yi here?"
The two officials were walking on the white floor tiles one after another. The one in front of them suddenly stopped and turned around, revealing a haggard face. It was Ming Huiguang who was participating in politics.
"This is the room," Cai Xianqing hurried over slowly with his hands behind his back, "You go in and say hello... Hey, this tiger is so majestic!"
He immediately saw the dead tiger lying on the shelf. It still had its big eyes open and its fangs bared. The blood on the teeth had dried long ago, but it still looked scary.
Cai Xianqing was very curious, so he put away the bamboo fan in his hand, bent down, and was about to touch the tiger's fur, but he saw the window suddenly opened and King Yi's head poked out.
Cai Xianqing quickly asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, is this thing valuable?"
"You old man, how many years have you been an official, and you don't even think this thing is new? This is a prey dedicated to the emperor. If you dare to touch it, be careful, I will chop off your hand!" King Yi looked at his playful face. He looked furious at the moment.
"Prince Yi, you are too angry," Cai Xianqing was also quite displeased. She seemed not to be afraid of his identity and straightened her back, "I'm afraid a person like you is too hasty to seize the crown prince!"
King Yi had never been provoked like this before. He took out a sword from the bedside, opened the door, and was about to slash at Cai Xianqing.
