"How is that possible? I still want to improve my official position and marry you into my family one day!"
"Just daydream!" Zhu Yuejun smiled. Maybe this was something neither of them dared to think about!
"Young Master? Please come out!" Shen Wei's voice came from outside the tent! Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"This is not what I want to leave, there is something going on!"
"Get out!" Zhu Yuejun said coldly. Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the tent with a smile, and was very surprised to see the nervousness on Shen Wei's face.
"Why do you look like this? Su Xiaoding has written again?"
"No, this time it's a letter from someone else!" Shen Wei took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi took it over and took a look. There were only a few big words written on the envelope, please read it personally, General Zhao!
Zhao Xuanyi is a little strange
"Who gave it to you?"
"It's...Cao Yuan!"
"Cao Yuan? Who is it?" Shen Wei looked around and whispered in Zhao Xuanyi's ear
"Jinyiwei!" Zhao Xuanyi was so frightened that his eyes widened for a moment and he instinctively looked around.
"How did you meet him?"
"I went on patrol outside today, and he was disguised as a woodcutter. I recognized him at a glance and caught him. He handed over this letter and asked me to forward it to you. He also said that you had seen it. You won’t regret it!” Zhao Xuanyi sneered.
"This pickled dog came back at the right time, so it would be a good idea to let me take his head and exchange it for some money!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he opened the envelope and took out the letter paper!
When he opened it, he saw a few simple words: We will meet at the Xiangyun Inn outside the capital tonight, and we will give Zhao Xuanyi ten minutes of important information!
After Zhao Xuanyi saw it, he couldn't help but frown. Zhao Xuanyi knew that Wang Jinrong must have known many things that ordinary people didn't know after being in the palace for many years. If there was something he could use, it might make things much easier for him!
"Young Master? Do you want to mobilize manpower immediately?" Shen Wei asked. Zhao Xuanyi shook his head
"Tonight you and sister-in-law, put on Qu Kui and Qu Yang, and the four of you will go out with me!"
"Is there just a few of us? A little less, right? In this case, I will ask Tang Tianli to take two hundred Qilin guards, pretend to go out on patrol, and hide in the dark!" Shen Wei said.
"Well, sure, don't let the news leak out!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes! Don't worry, young master!" Shen Wei nodded and said. The two were talking when they saw Tang Tianli running over on horseback from a distance, came to Zhao Xuanyi, got off his horse and
"General, just now in the capital Wang Shaoqing asked one of his men to come over and deliver a message!"
"Send a message? What happened?" Zhao Xuanyi asked hurriedly.
"He said that Li Wenzhou entered the capital today. I don't know what he did, but he has already been driven out of the capital!" After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi thought for a few seconds.
"What is he doing in Beijing at this time?"
"Could he be investigating the mastermind of the rebellion in the capital?" Shen Wei asked.
"Hasn't the imperial list already been posted?" Shen Wei smiled.
"To be honest, young master, I don't even believe that imperial list!" After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi sighed helplessly.
"Yes, no one with any sense will believe it! I have been secretly watching Li Wenzhou's movements recently. If there is anything suspicious, report it immediately!"
"Understood!" Tang Tianli said! Zhao Xuanyi glanced at Shen Wei, and Shen Wei understood
"Tang Tianli, come with me, I have something to tell you!" Shen Wei called Tang Tianli away!
Zhao Xuanyi folded the letter in his hand and put it in his sleeve, walked to the bonfire pot nearby, threw the envelope into it, and burned it!
In the blink of an eye, it was night. Under the protection of Shen Wei, Jinglan and others, Zhao Xuanyi left the military camp, and the five of them quickly rushed to the Xiangyun Inn outside the capital!
Tang Tianli, on the other hand, led two hundred Qilin guards to follow him in the dark. Shen Wei did not say anything about what happened tonight, he just asked Tang Tianli to secretly protect Zhao Xuanyi's safety!
Zhao Xuanyi came outside the Xiangyun Inn. He saw bright lights inside and heard the voices of some people talking. Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei exchanged glances. They dismounted, and then five people walked into the inn!
When I just walked in, I saw a group of people sitting in the lobby of the inn, about thirty people, divided into eight tables, and all the scattered tables on the first floor of the inn were filled!
When this group of people saw Zhao Xuanyi walking in, their eyes became very sharp. Zhao Xuanyi could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary people, but Jin Yiwei pretending to be!
Just as Zhao Xuanyi entered the inn, a waiter closed the door. Zhao Xuanyi turned around and looked at the waiter. Shen Wei, Jinglan and others also touched their weapons!
The waiter hurriedly spoke
"General Zhao, don't be nervous. The master has been waiting for you upstairs for a long time. Please come up with me!" After the waiter finished speaking, he led Zhao Xuanyi upstairs!
Shen Wei looked at Zhao Xuanyi, as if waiting for Zhao Xuanyi to give an order. Zhao Xuanyi did not speak, but walked towards the stairs and upstairs!
Shen Wei and Jinglan also walked upstairs, and Jinglan looked at her two younger brothers.
"Stay guard downstairs. If there is an accident, take action directly. No mercy!"
"Yes!" Qu Kui and Qu Yang stood at the top of the stairs, staring at the thirty people in the hall!
This group of people were very uncomfortable being seen by the two brothers, and finally one man stood up
"What are you worried about!"
"What are you doing!" Qu Kui shouted.
"Would you like to try another one?"
"Just give it a try, aren't you convinced?" Qu Kui didn't flinch at all! Zhao Xuanyi went up to the second floor. The waiter took the three of them outside a private room and knocked gently on the door.
"Master, General Zhao is here!"
"General Zhao, please come in!" A familiar voice came from inside the room! The waiter opened the door, took a few steps back, turned around and left!
Zhao Xuanyi walked into the room and saw that there were seven people inside, one sitting and the other standing, and one of them was Cao Yuan!
And sitting there was none other than Wang Jingrong, the Duke of Dongchangchang! Wang Jingrong saw Zhao Xuanyi and smiled slightly
"General Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Zhao Xuanyi found that Wang Jinrong didn't seem to be afraid at all, and sat down with a smile.
"My father-in-law is so brave. He dares to return to Beijing during this critical period. I really have to admire him!" Wang Jinrong laughed after hearing this.
"General Zhao may not know that I have been working as a eunuch in the palace since I was seven years old. Until I was sixty-two years old, I have always lived in the palace. This palace is our family's home! Where else can I go?"
"Now my father-in-law's portrait is plastered all over the country. How many people want to catch you in their dreams? The reward is one million taels!"
"Hahaha...! General Zhao, we don't speak secretly in front of people. You should know best whether I have really rebelled against you!" Zhao Xuanyi laughed when he heard this.
"I say, Prince, what you said is so amateurish! You have been in the palace for so many years, haven't you seen it clearly? What is true? What is false? Is it important? The key is to see what the royal family says, what they say, what It's true!" After Wang Jinrong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
"I really didn't expect that General Zhao could see the truth of the palace at such a young age. He is really awesome! I'd like to toast General Zhao!" After Wang Jinrong finished speaking, he raised his glass!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the delicacies on the table and the fine wine in the glass. Zhao Xuanyi did not dare to drink. Now Wang Jinrong was like a lost dog. He could do anything. He did not dare to play with him!
"Actually, I came here after dinner!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile. After Wang Jingrong heard this, he smiled slightly
"I understand, then I won't force General Zhao. I wonder if I can have a few words with General Zhao alone?" After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he looked at Shen Wei
"Go out and wait for me!"
"Young Master, this...?"
"Don't worry! Eunuch Wang is not so despicable, not to mention murderous intent will not do any good to Eunuch Wang!" Zhao Xuanyi said calmly.
Wang Jingrong looked at Cao Yuan and gave him a look. Cao Yuan immediately led the people in the room out. Shen Wei and Jinglan looked at each other, then turned and walked out!
After closing the door, only Wang Jingrong and Zhao Xuanyi were left in the room. Wang Jingrong picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"Actually, I have never understood who attacked the palace this time? I wonder if General Zhao can explain it to me?" After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he looked at Wang Jinrong with a disappointed look on his face.
"What can Eunuch Wang do now that he knows?" Wang Jinrong smiled bitterly.
"I just want the truth, but... let me guess first, the number one is definitely not the prince. Although the prince has won over many civil servants and military generals over the years, he is still not mature enough to be able to rebel, so the prince is absolutely impossible! "
"The fifth prince is now sent to guard Longling. There is absolutely no chance. The Huhao military camp is now in disarray. The seventh prince has been living in the world for a long time. Even with the help of friends in the world, the foundation of the imperial court is unstable, and it is even more impossible to be him!"
"As for the eldest prince? He has been away for many years. There is no one in the court, no soldiers, and he is powerless if he wants to. So the only thing he can think of is the fourth prince, but it is impossible. The fourth prince lives in seclusion and writes and writes every day. It really doesn't seem like he can do anything. This kind of thing!”
"Have you been guessing for so long with Eunuch Wang, but you still don't have the answer?" Zhao Xuanyi said sarcastically.
"To be able to publish the imperial list, he must be from the royal family, but I don't look like anyone, but I can guess who it is!"
"You just denied them all!"
"Is he the fourth prince?" Wang Jinrong said suddenly. Zhao Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes became serious. Seeing the change in Zhao Xuanyi's eyes, Wang Jinrong smiled.
"It seems I guessed it right!"
"How can Eunuch Wang prove that it's him?"
"A biting dog never barks. As a prince, living so miserable every day and not being interested in the throne at all is a problem in itself. The prince has been fighting for it. The fifth prince also wants to sit on the throne and live happily ever after. The seventh prince I have such ambitions after returning to Beijing!"
"Only the fourth prince is an anomaly. As a prince, it is so abnormal! Our family can only guess that it is him! But... our family is very curious. He is just the child of a palace maid, how dare he have such a child? So wild?" Zhao Xuanyi shrugged
"As a father-in-law, you want to take over power. Do you need a reason?" After hearing this, Wang Jinrong slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"That's right! And among the current princes, he may be the most suitable to be a prince!" Zhao Xuanyi frowned when he heard this sentence.
"Father, what do you mean by this?" Wang Jinrong did not answer hastily, but picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"How many years has General Zhao been in the palace? I have been in the harem for a lifetime. I know all about it! General Zhao must know that there is an eldest prince, right?"
"heard about it!"
"Do you know why he was expelled from the royal family and demoted to a commoner?"
"I heard... that the eldest prince pushed the prince into a pond when he was a child, which caused the prince to almost drown. The emperor was so angry that he angrily accused the eldest prince of being evil-hearted, and then demoted him to a commoner!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Hahaha...!" Wang Jingrong burst out laughing after hearing this
"General Zhao just said that what the royal family said is true. Do you trust the royal family's statement so much?"
"Could it be...no?" Wang Jingrong sighed and looked at Zhao Xuanyi
"It was my fifteenth year in the palace at that time. Because I was usually hard-working and sweet-tongued, I became the steward of the harem. I also had more than forty eunuchs under me. I was considered a leader, no matter how big or small!"
