Zhang Xin strode into the palace.
Although the bedroom was lit with incense, it still couldn't hide the pungent smell of the soup.
King Yan Zhu Di was half leaning on the bed at the moment, breathing heavily!
Zhang Xin raised his head slightly, and instead of seeing the wise and mighty Prince Yan, he saw a patient with a pale face and an air of anger!
Zhang Xin was shocked when he saw King Yan Zhu Di looking like this.
It was hard for him to imagine what was going on and why His Highness King Yan was like this!
Or is it that His Highness King Yan still doesn't believe him, so he deliberately pretends to be like this?
When he thought of this, Zhang Xin immediately fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xin, comes to see His Highness King Yan!"
Zhu Di raised his head slightly and looked at Zhang Xin expressionlessly, without speaking or answering.
Because they were not sure of Zhang Xin's true purpose, Dao Yan and Jin Zhong agreed that even if they wanted to see this letter, they should wait for him to find out its purpose first!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xin's heart suddenly moved.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, I know that Your Highness is well. The reason why I visited you many times is precisely because of the imperial court's secret edict!"
"Oh, a secret edict from the imperial court?" Zhu Di chuckled, "What's the point? I'm already dying, and my life is not long. Now I'm just waiting to die!"
Sun Tzu's Thirty-Six Strategies in the Art of War, the sixteenth stratagem, use retreat to advance!
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhang Xin remained calm.
"Your Highness is fine. I know that Your Highness is brave and brave. How could you be trapped in the hands of a child?"
"I also know that Your Highness does not trust me, but I follow my father's instructions and am loyal to Your Highness. I never dare to forget His kindness!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little moved.
Ever since I saw this letter, I have been calling myself "Chen"!
You must know that the title "Chen" can only be used by officials when facing the emperor and prince!
When officials met the vassal king, even officials in the royal palace only called themselves "subordinate ministers" or "subordinate officials" instead of "subordinate ministers"!
Zhang Xin's attitude can be seen from just one title!
And the "little boy" Zhang Xin just mentioned is naturally the new emperor Zhu Yunwen.
What is a scholar who was born in a deep palace and grew stronger than a woman's hands, if not a child?
Putting these two points together, Zhu Di already understood Zhang Xin's intentions.
However, he still did not speak and continued to pretend to be seriously ill.
After all, Prince Yan's Mansion is about to raise troops, and anything happening now will affect the overall plan!
unless……
Zhang Xin also understood.
If you want to completely gain the trust of His Highness King Yan, you must show real bargaining chips.
And his only bargaining chip now is the content of the imperial court's secret edict!
When he thought of this, Zhang Xin no longer hesitated.
"Your Highness, you know that a secret edict from the imperial court has arrived, ordering me to capture a group of people from Prince Yan's Mansion on New Year's Eve, escort them back to the capital, and punish them!"
"In addition, Xie Gui has mobilized an army of 20,000 to ambush around Xishan. If the three guards of Yanshan make any move, they will be struck by thunder!"
"Xie Gui has made all preparations. He will lead his army into Prince Yan's Mansion in the evening. How will His Highness respond then?"
"If Your Highness is prepared, you should inform me so that I can respond. If Your Highness is truly unprepared, then treat me as if I have not been here today!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di became furious, slammed the bed and sat upright!
"Zhu Yunwen!"
"You little bastard!"
"What a vicious heart!"
Zhu Di cursed angrily, extremely angry!
It’s so vicious!
Take action on New Year's Eve and prepare to capture all of Prince Yan's Mansion!
Damn it, Zhu Yunwen, if you stop pretending, are you so cruel?
As soon as Zhang Xin saw the lively Zhu Di, he immediately smiled.
Sure enough, his bet was right!
King Yan Zhu Di was really pretending before!
Zhang Xin spoke again and reminded: "Your Highness, what's the plan?"
Zhu Di also confirmed Zhang Xin's intention and immediately stepped forward to help him up.
Immediately afterwards, monk Dao Yan and Chang Shi Jinzhong came out from behind the screen, leaving Zhang Xin stunned for a moment.
Monk Dao Yan bowed his hand to Zhang Xin and said directly: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, we must raise troops immediately!"
"Yes, we must seize the opportunity, and we must not let Xie Gui and others succeed!" Jin Zhong also said the same.
At this moment, both of them secretly said, "What a danger!"
They had never calculated that Zhu Yunwen would be so ruthless and choose to do it on New Year's Eve!
If this letter had not been betrayed and secretly reported, Xie Gui would have led his army into Prince Yan's Mansion tonight. Then everything they had planned before would have been reduced to a joke, and everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion would not have known how they died!
"In that case, let's invite you into the urn as planned and then raise the army!"
A flash of cruelty flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.
Damn it, it’s New Year’s Eve, damn it, Zhu Yunwen is so unworthy of a human being!
You have forced me again and again, even though I am pretending to be crazy, you are still unwilling to let me go!
If that's the case, then stop fucking living!
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Xin with fierce eyes.
"Zhang Xin, you are my benefactor!"
"Now go back immediately and don't make any move!"
"I will order people to tell Xie Gui, Zhou Shu and others that I am willing to hand over all military power, including the three guards of Yanshan, to induce Xie Gui, Zhou Shu and others to enter the Yan Palace!"
"But after this, I will kill them and formally raise troops to appease Jingnan. As the commander of Peiping, you, Zhang Xin, hope that you can assist me in seizing control of Beiping City!"
When Zhang Xin heard this, he immediately made a promise.
In fact, what he was waiting for was the words of Yan King Zhu Di!
If Zhu Di hadn't secretly plotted, he would really regret it!
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"I am determined to go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Zhu Di nodded happily after hearing this.
"Notify Zhang Yu and others to prepare for an uprising!"
"My lords, if Jingnan succeeds, I will definitely share the wealth and honor with you!"
At the same time, Beiping City Gate.
Su Yang took his young wife and walked into Beiping City again.
"Xiao Wan, what does your father like on weekdays?"
Hearing this, Zhu Wanqiu was a little dumbfounded.
What does her father Zhu Di like?
Like to fight?
Like to fight on the battlefield?
Like to chop people's heads off?
This doesn’t seem to be a normal hobby!
The little girl was a little distressed. After thinking for a moment, she changed the topic.
"Ms. sir, do you want to prepare a meeting ceremony?"
"That's right. After all, it's your first time to visit, so you can't lose etiquette!"
Su Yang nodded.
Although he was very reluctant.
Naihe has already agreed to it.
And the little daughter-in-law obviously can't let go of her family.
Considering the little girl's mood, Su Yang could only prepare.
Zhu Wanqiu smiled and dropped another piece of bombshell news.
"Then my husband must prepare a generous gift for my mother!"
Su Yang: "???"
What?
Your mother?
Still alive?
what happened?
Su Yang was a little dumbfounded.
Isn't Xiaowan a concubine from a high family who was persecuted by her stepmother?
Why is her mother still alive?
Could it be that her mother is the maid of Yan Mansion?
For a moment, Su Yang's mind automatically imagined another bloody drama in which the maid and the madam competed for favor!
"Okay, okay, get everything ready!"
"Including your eldest brother and second brother, that's five gifts!"
The little girl counted the numbers on her fingers, shook her head and said in denial: "Mr., there are only four copies?"
"Silly girl, even if your aunt treats you badly, we still have to prepare generous gifts, otherwise..."
"Ms. sir, my father married my mother, and my mother is his real wife!"
"???"
