He couldn't even help but doubt it.
If he hadn't caused the thunder to kill Hua Yi tonight, would Daxing's horseshoes not have come out?
Just as Yuan Guoshi was about to call Descartes in to discuss what to do next, because Descartes knew the character of King Jin far better than he did.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Descartes' joyful voice came from the entrance of the cave outside.
"National Master, there is new news!"
So fast?
Aren't you reporting on developments every quarter of an hour?
Could it be that horseshoes were cast so quickly?
Master Yuan had a gloomy face and called Descarnato into the cave again.
Descarnato held a new note in his hand and handed it to him.
There was only one date written on the palm-sized piece of paper - the first day of October.
"This is the day when Huayi's coffin period expires."
Yuan Guoshi blurted out.
Descartes was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and immediately praised him: "The imperial master is very good at arithmetic. It is indeed the day when Hua Yi's coffin expires, but... the news just came from the Jin Palace, the Daxing Emperor decided to A poetry appreciation party will be held on the first day of the month, and Ning Wuchang will be in charge of hosting it."
"Poetry appreciation party?"
When Yuan Guoshi thought that Ning Wuyang was indeed coming to the capital, he told the matter in public. He also planned to use the opportunity of the poetry appreciation party to get rid of Ning Wuyang. He did not have any doubts about this matter and raised his eyebrows. , motioning for Descartes to continue speaking.
Descarnato then continued: "In addition to appreciating poems, the most important thing of the poetry appreciation party is to allow all parties to determine the topics of the competition day in advance so that they can be fully prepared."
When Master Yuan heard this arrangement, he sneered silently.
"Have you chosen the topic in advance? It seems that Emperor Daxing is very confident that the people of Daxing can win this competition. Ning Wuyao offers the method of making colored glaze. Where did he get it? He hasn't found out yet, so he wants to offer horseshoes. , no wonder Emperor Daxing would place his treasure on this person."
Just right.
He might as well take this opportunity to get rid of Ning Wuyan.
Since the news came from Prince Jin's Mansion, people from Prince Jin's Mansion must be involved in the preparations for this poetry appreciation party.
"Isn't the poetry appreciation party held at Princess Xian's mansion where Ning Wushuang lives?"
"The Imperial Master knows things well. The poetry appreciation party will indeed not be held at Princess Xian's mansion, but at the hunting ground in the northern suburbs. This is also the intention of Emperor Daxing. Let everyone get used to the competition location in advance to avoid stage fright."
When Descarnato said this, he paused deliberately and lowered his voice.
"The most important thing is that the arrangement is still the responsibility of the Crown Prince of Jin. I remember the Imperial Master said that there was a thunderstorm on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The hunting ground in the northern suburbs is high and there are many trees. As long as we join forces with the Crown Prince of Jin, we will organize a poetry appreciation party If the location is chosen in a suitable place, wouldn't Ning Wushuang..."
"No."
Master Yuan waved his hand and decisively rejected Descarnado's proposal.
He knew that Descartes had learned about the horseshoes and should be more anxious than him to get rid of Ning Wuyan.
But this matter cannot be rushed.
Now that Emperor Daxing had personally dug it for them, Ning Wu's grave was the one where he died.
There is no need to involve the Crown Prince of Jin in order to avoid losing this powerful ally.
"Between the first day of October and the twenty-ninth day of the month, the Shentie can't be deployed before then, but it can be done just before that to find out the layout of the hunting ground in the northern suburbs, and then choose where to place the Shentie. Tie, when the time comes, I will personally guide Ning Wuchang to the arranged minefield."
As soon as these words came out, Descartes was horrified.
Could it be that the Imperial Master was willing to put himself in danger in order to eliminate Ning Wuhuang's danger to them?
"General Di, don't look at me with that worried look. I will lead him there, but I won't go with him. Although I am a lightning controller guided by the gods to come to the world, I cannot avoid lightning strikes. Death, I know what I am doing, you continue to inquire for information."
"yes!"
Descarnato received this assurance, and his heart, which had been beating wildly since he received the news of the poetry appreciation party, became much calmer.
And began to look forward to the arrival of October 1st.
at the same time.
The news that Hua Yi was struck by lightning while out on a rainy night spread like wildfire inside and outside the capital like wings.
Especially when Zhou Yu heard the news, he sent a special person to deliver a letter to his father.
told the good news.
He knew that in his father's eyes, Hua Yi had always been suspected of his brother Zhou An's death.
Even if Zhou Yu sent people to investigate afterwards and found no intersection between Zhou An and Hua Yi in Jiangnan Road, it would not alleviate his father's suspicion.
When they learned that Hua Yi's death was classified as an accident by Grandpa Huang and others, there was no substantial evidence other than the discovery of suspicious Beidi people operating near Huangzhuang.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but suspect that the Jin Palace was involved in this matter, or that his father was involved without telling him.
therefore.
When he learned that Grandpa Huang asked Ning Wu to hold a poetry appreciation party on the first day of October, he sent someone to pass the news to Xiyi Pavilion as usual, and he started to murmur in his heart.
The hunting ground in the northern suburbs is a good place for assassination.
And when the time comes, there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and talented people from all the countries in the Western Regions will come to participate.
Beidi people will not give up this God-given opportunity.
"Mr. An, tell me, if the Beidi people ask me to cooperate with them and help them murder Ning Wuyan during this poetry appreciation party, what should we do?"
"The prince said before he left the capital that the prince does not need to interfere in this matter. We only need to share information with each other."
In contrast to Zhou Yu's panic, Staff An was calmly stroking his goatee, looking confident.
If the person in charge of all activities in Beidi is a reckless man or a young man, he may ask the Jin Palace for help.
But with Beidi Guoshi and Descartes, two cautious and wise people working together, they would definitely not cause this trouble to the Jin Palace.
If Ning Wuhan's death is even remotely suspected by the Jin Palace, then Beidi's previous covenant with the Jin Palace will be unable to be fulfilled.
Which one is more important? An staff member feels that as a person in power, he must know the pros and cons and the gains and losses.
Only the prince, who is young and inexperienced, would be frightened.
"Your Majesty, what you have to do now is to control your emotions when Ning Wuyang organizes the poetry appreciation party. Don't go against Ning Wuyang. Actively cooperate with him to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty. If something happens to Ning Wuyang, he will not doubt us. Come up on your head."
"But……"
Zhou Yu always felt that when the emperor died in Huayi, he decided to hold a poetry appreciation party on the day when the coffin expired, which seemed to have a deeper meaning.
But he couldn't tell.
Just having a gut feeling.
An intuition that a violent storm is about to hit.
"Mr. An, actually I have always had a question, does Ning Wuhan have to die?"
Zhou Yu looked out at the hazy night through the papered window. Thinking of the news reported by Huangzhuang's eyeliner, he couldn't help but feel fascinated.
"This man is a unique talent that is rare to see in Daxing for a hundred years. It is said that the stirrups presented by the Jiang family were actually made under his guidance. Moreover, he has never stated that he is on the side of King Kang. Grandpa Huang is planning to accept him as his successor. The emperor's disciples, the talents left for the next person to reign, are gone like this, which is really not good for Daxing."
