The transfer was so thorough and hasty that not only the Ruijian camp was transferred overnight. Even the deputy envoy recommended by the King of Shu was directly transferred, or rather escorted to Fujian Road. As for this deputy envoy, Lu Wentao dared to say now that his transfer to Fujian Road was just a pretense. Maybe, when the King of Shu arrives in Beijing, the deputy envoy will already be in the black prison of the North and South Town Fusi.
The emperor's move meant that all the hard work the King of Shu had done on Ruijian Camp these days was in vain overnight, and the large sum of money he spent was also in vain. That's not tens of thousands of dollars, but millions of dollars. This loss, even though the money and materials from Prince Rui's Mansion have been taken for himself, is still a huge loss.
Thinking of this, Rao Shi always considered himself to be resourceful and decisive. But Lu Wentao couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, not knowing what to do? The current situation has become obvious. The emperor does not believe half of the secret message of the King of England, but he already believes 90% of it.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Wentao gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, don't do anything now. Go to the capital immediately in accordance with the imperial edict. It is estimated that there are people from the emperor already watching outside the palace. If you do anything rashly, you will The words of the King of England’s secret document have been confirmed. Fortunately, we have already dealt with all the people who should be dealt with. "
"While they have not yet entered the palace, the few maids you left behind and the women left in the hands of the secret guards must be dealt with quickly and quietly. As for you, return immediately in accordance with the imperial edict. Jing. The Emperor has now begun to doubt you. No matter what your next step is, dispelling the Emperor's doubts about you is the first priority."
"As long as Prince Jing's family does not enter the capital, we still have a way. Therefore, what you have to do now is to return to the capital immediately in accordance with the requirements of the imperial edict. And there are some things that will be more beneficial after entering the capital. You enter Now that you are in Beijing, that concubine will have no chance to deal with you. Just in time, she can concentrate all her energy on dealing with the King of England."
"As for Prince Jing's family, we have to take action as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, we will take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the King of England together. Afterwards, we will put all the blame on Concubine De. We are just right, we can kill two birds with one stone. As long as we remove If the King of England is killed, even if the Emperor finds out that King Rui’s death is related to you, unless he really wants no successor, there will be nothing he can do to you."
"Your Majesty, what we can do now is to do our best to muddy the water in Zhengzhou so that we can take advantage of the opportunity. As for you, it is best to return to Beijing as soon as possible in accordance with the imperial edict. Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you will die. Later, you will return to Beijing in accordance with the imperial edict, which will not only ease the emperor's suspicion, but also buy us time to operate in Zhengzhou."
"As for Concubine De, you can also further explore her thoughts and burn more fire behind her back. My lord, don't forget the behavior of Concubine Jing during the reign of Daxing Queen Bintian. Also, the palace informant is not I also report that, except for occasionally staying alone in Wende Hall, the Emperor almost always stays in Concubine Jing’s Palace. Not to mention other concubines, even Concubine De usually doesn’t take a single step."
"Don't forget, Concubine De is extremely jealous by nature. Over the years, the concubines in the palace have suffered a lot at her hands. If it hadn't been for the presence of Queen Daxing in these years, I'm afraid the emperor's children would not even be half as good as they are now. Yes. Your Majesty is staying all night at Ting Xuexuan, and Concubine De must have a cannibalistic heart."
"And right now, Concubine De is eyeing the position of empress. The emperor doesn't even want to be with him. Concubine De doesn't dare to do anything to Concubine Jing on the surface, but it's strange that she doesn't go crazy in private. Not to mention Ying. The king and even Concubine Jing are now a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. But although she is a bit stupid, she still has some self-awareness and does not really dare to go to Concubine Jing to find trouble."
"I still say the same thing, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Your biggest opponent now is the King of England. If you can use the hands of Concubine De to get rid of the King of England, it will only benefit you without any harm. As for The remaining Concubines will no longer need to worry about you. Don’t forget that the King of England is Concubine Jing’s only son.”
"Concubine Jing doesn't seem to care about anything, but she definitely doesn't care about her only son. If the King of England dies in the hands of Concubine De, do you think Concubine Jing will let it go? With Concubine Jing's ability, you are here I heard a little bit about it when I was in the palace. Concubine De did not overestimate her own abilities and thought that she could act unscrupulously since she was in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace."
"But she didn't want to think about it. It was just Concubine Jing who didn't want to come forward. If Concubine Jing had taken action, she would have died without even knowing how to do something that was not on the table. As long as we take advantage of Concubine Jing not to intervene at the moment, except for If the family members of King Ying and King Jing are gone, you can sit back and relax in the future."
After listening to Lu Wentao's idea, the King of Shu thought for a long time. In the end, he nodded slightly and said: "Well, I will act according to your plan this time. However, I returned to the capital this time to appease my father, and I think I will have to lie dormant for a while. But what is the overall situation in Zhengzhou? , it won’t work if there is no one to preside over it. Sir, there is no need to return to the capital with this king. Today, after dark, we will leave overnight for Zhengzhou.”
"The affairs of Zhengzhou and Ruzhou are all decided by you, and I will never interfere. However, after I come to Beijing, I definitely don't want to see my second sister-in-law in the capital. I don't want to hear anything about it here in Ruzhou either. If there are any rumors that are unfavorable to me. When things happen in Zhengzhou and Ruzhou, sir, you don’t need to go to Beijing, you can just go back to Chengdu."
"Chengdu is the foundation of this king. All the accumulated food, grass and wealth are in Chengdu. If my father is determined to investigate and deal with this king, he will never let Chengdu go. There is no one in charge of the big plan now. Sir, after dealing with Zheng and Ruzhi Afterwards, you can return to Chengdu to take charge of the overall situation. I will leave the future of my family to you, and I hope that you will not let me down."
Hearing the chilling tone in King Shu's last words, Lu Wentao's heart trembled slightly. Just when he was thinking about how to answer so as not to arouse the further suspicion of the King of Shu, a voice came from outside: "Master, the secret guard was outside the camp and discovered the people from Nanzhen Fusi and was eager to report to the master. Play."
Discovering the whereabouts of Nanzhen Fusi outside his own home was definitely not good news for either the King of Shu or Lu Wentao. After the two looked at each other, they immediately felt something was wrong and quickly asked people to come in. After seeing the King of Shu, the man knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Master, this subordinate is secret guard Zuoying Chai No. 69."
"I came back from a business trip with a brother this morning and found two suspicious people at the mass grave. When my subordinates found them, they seemed to have just burned something and were burying it there. In the early morning , burning things in a mass grave is abnormal in itself. And the two horses beside them are horses used by our secret guards. "
"The horses of the secret guard all have special markings, so the subordinates recognized them at a glance. After making this discovery, when they left, the subordinates and brothers chased them. When they were halfway through the pursuit, The face covering of one of them slipped off, and my subordinates discovered that this person was from Nanzhen Fusi."
"This person has been to Chengdu before and had dealings with our secret guards. Therefore, I recognized him at first sight. Someone from Nanzhen Fusi suddenly appeared in Ruzhou, and I was worried that the imperial court would be detrimental to the master. . The subordinates and brothers decided to act separately. The younger one came back to report and ask for help, and he continued to track. Judging from the horse hoof prints on the ground, there were more than ten of them."
After hearing the report, King Shu couldn't help but change his expression. Without any hesitation, he said to the people outside the door: "Immediately prepare the horses and mobilize the people. Immediately mobilize the left camp of the secret guard and the personal bodyguards to follow the king. All the followers of the left camp of the secret guard will be mobilized by me. , even if the entire Ruzhou is turned over, we still need to find these people from Nanzhen Fusi, and none of them can be allowed to leave Ruzhou alive."
The King of Shu actually wanted to take action in person, which made Lu Wentao, who was still calm when he just heard that the traces of Fusi people in Nanzhen were found, change his expression slightly. He knew that the King of Shu was in a bit of a mess right now. People from Nanzhen Fusi appeared in Ruzhou. Lu Wentao had already judged this before. The King of England's secrets were in the hands of the emperor. It would be strange if the emperor didn't send someone to investigate.
Therefore, Lu Wentao did not find it strange that people from Nanzhen Fusi appeared in Ruzhou. He believed that with his arrangement, even if those people came to Ruzhou, they would not be able to find anything at all. The scene where the King of Shu personally killed King Rui and his eleven children was closely guarded by secret guards, and not even a fly could enter.
The disposal of the remains of King Rui and his family, as well as the elimination of those who were placed in Prince Rui's Mansion, were all handled by the secret guards. Even the royal palace of the King of Shu was guarded by secret guards and the bodyguards of the King of Shu. The secret guards were established by the King of Shu, and they were personal guards who only obeyed his orders. Most of the people were also recruited from western Sichuan.
Among them, it is simply impossible to infiltrate the people from the North and South Town Fusi. As for the guards and soldiers around the King of Shu, they are all the King of Shu's loyal confidants. As early as the first year of the vassalage, the King of Shu gradually replaced the guards and soldiers provided by the court with his own confidants. When dealing with King Rui, all the confidants of King Shu were in the city.
After the capture of Ruzhou City, all the military camps in the city were not allowed to participate. Even Rui Jianying was not allowed to enter the city. It wasn't until all the matters were settled and the King of Shu moved to King Rui's Courtyard outside the city, and all those who needed to be moved were moved to this Courtyard, that Rui Jianying was allowed to enter Ruzhou City.
And everyone who knew the truth about King Rui and his family committing suicide, except King Shu, himself, and the secret guards, had completely disappeared from this world last night. Therefore, Lu Wentao believed that even if Nanzhen Fusi mobilized all their troops, they would They searched Ruzhou City over and over again, but could not find the truth they wanted. In this regard, he is quite confident.
But these people from Nanzhen Fusi appeared in the most inappropriate place, which made people a little uneasy. He still doesn't know how long these people from Nanzhen Fusi have been in Ruzhou and what they have found. Once they grasp the cause of King Rui's death, if the King of Shu follows his advice and goes to Beijing, he can conclude that the King of Shu will never come back.
These people from Nanzhen Fusi would definitely not be able to leave Ruzhou alive, which was what he considered immediately. No matter how much they really investigate, even if they only find out that mass grave is just a corpse burning site, they will never be allowed to go back alive. Although he also knew that the ruined King Rui's family would not be able to provide any clues to those in Nanzhen Fusi.
But he believed that the King of Shu's goal was too big and it was inappropriate to take action personally. When the time comes to pursue him, he fails, and instead he exposes himself. But Lu Wentao, who originally wanted to persuade the King of Shu, must not act rashly at this time, hesitated for a while, and finally swallowed his words of persuasion. He knew that it was almost impossible to calm down King Shu at this time.
