"Young Master, do you still see the guy from Zhongshu Province?" Shen Wei asked.
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he waved his hand, "I don't know if this matter has anything to do with that bastard Zhu Moxian. Don't act rashly yet! If it was really him, I can't kill everyone I see. If everyone is gone, who am I threatening?" ah?"
"Yes, what should we do next?" Shen Wei asked.
"No rush, don't rush this matter. How about the Water Drops of Stone Penetrating Plan?"
"According to your instructions, three or four Qilin Guards will be secretly sent to the capital every day, without attracting anyone's attention for the time being!"
"Very good! This cannot be done carelessly. Once discovered, all previous efforts will be wasted. Be careful!"
"Yes! Tonight, I have asked Jinglan to take a thousand people to find gold. Once found, they will be sent directly to their hometown!"
"Okay! By the way, are Bai Zhi and the brothers from Baijuntang here?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Not so fast. They are all on foot. It will probably take half a month at the earliest!"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "I hope they can arrive safely and pay attention to all aspects. If I have the opportunity, I can tell the brothers in the capital that they must stay hidden and not walk around at will. This is an order!"
"They all understand! But... there is still nearly half a year, young master, is this too long?"
"There is no other way. The result of rushing for success will be to waste all your efforts! Wait, just wait!" In fact, Shen Wei was not the only one who was anxious, Zhao Xuanyi was even more anxious than him. All his wealth was in the capital, so don't let that bastard find out!
A few days later, in Hangzhou, Lu Pingping returned to Yong'an Palace. As soon as he entered the gate, Lu Pingping saw an annoying face. He saw Qi Haobi standing in the courtyard wearing a black gown. After seeing Lu Pingping, Came over with a smile.
The two faced each other, Qi Haobi cupped her hands and bowed deeply, "Brother, long time no see!"
Seeing the sarcastic look on Qi Haobi's face, Lu Pingping could only endure it and clasped his fists in his hands, "It's been a while since we last met. How are you, third brother?"
"TOEFL, it's not bad, but things don't seem to be going well for my eldest brother! After running for so long, I didn't gain anything at all in the end. It's really unexpected!" Qi Haobi said with a loud smile without hiding her pride.
Lu Pingping's heart was like a volcano erupting, but there was no angry expression on his face. He smiled relaxedly, "Don't mention it, I really saw a lot and learned a lot when I went to the capital this time. These are things you can't learn at home!" "
"Really? It looks like big brother has gained a lot this time!"
"You can say it! It was an eye-opener for me!"
Lin Min walked slowly from a distance. Today, Lin Min specially put on a dark blue dress and walked slowly to the two of them. "Brother, my adoptive father asked you to come over and talk!"
"Here we come!" Lu Pingping turned around and followed Lin Min towards the hall. Qi Haobi also followed. Lu Pingping immediately stopped. "Third brother, it seems that your adoptive father didn't let you go, right?"
"What?"
"That's right, my adoptive father didn't let you go, just wait in the yard!" Lin Min said.
"I...?" Qi Haobi's face was full of embarrassment, and she thought to herself, you all did this on purpose, right?
Lu Pingping smiled slightly, "Oh, by the way! Before leaving, Zhao Xuanyi asked me to pass a message to you, saying that he and his third brother haven't seen you for a long time, and miss you very much. He wants you to be a guest in the capital when he has time!"
Qi Hao believed that there was something wrong with this sentence. He and Zhao Xuanyi were mortal enemies. If he hadn't been so powerful now, he would have destroyed him long ago!
Lu Pingping followed Lin Min to the hall. Zhu Tianyou was sitting on a chair. The expression on his face was very calm. It was not clear whether he was happy or angry. He was just sitting there as usual!
Lu Pingping lifted up his clothes and knelt down, "Pingping meets my adoptive father!"
"Please come!" Zhu Tianyou said softly.
"Thank you, foster father!" Lu Pingping slowly stood up.
"My son worked hard this time!" Zhu Tianyou said softly.
After Lu Pingping heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately lowered his head, "I've embarrassed my adoptive father this time, Zhao Xuanyi."
Heavy troops were deployed inside and outside the capital, and they were tightly guarded, like iron sheets. The child really had no place to attack! "
When Zhu Tianyou heard this, his brows knitted together, "How about other aspects? What's going on?"
"Li Wenzhou and Zhu Qing of King Yongle left with their children. They didn't gain much, but King Taikang has been silent and has not sent troops to help the capital!"
"Are all the things you wrote in your letter true?"
"This... I'm just guessing, there is no actual evidence, and Li Wenzhou thinks the same as me, all this should be the fault of the fourth prince, and now Wang Jingrong's whereabouts are unknown, so this matter may not be verified!"
There was a hint of approval in Zhu Tianyou's eyes, "Well, the royal family finally has someone with a brain! I guess Wang Jinrong will never be seen again!"
"Father, I think that now that the fourth prince is acting as an agent in the court, he is young and restless, and there are many ministers in the court who are not convinced. This is a good time!"
"You mean...?"
"You can go to the capital and act as regent!"
Zhu Tianyou laughed loudly after hearing this, "It's okay to talk about this matter. I have also written to the eldest princess, but these are just fantasy. Needless to say, there is no chaos in the government and the public, even if it is irreversible If the eldest princess is the prisoner of the country, she will not let her father go. If I go, then let them unite!"
After Lu Pingping heard this, he said nothing and stood quietly aside!
"Okay, you must be tired after a long journey and a long journey. Go and rest!" After Zhu Tianyou said this, he waved his hand!
"My dear, please excuse me!" Lu Pingping bowed respectfully, then turned and left. Lin Min also walked out of the hall with Lu Pingping!
The two of them walked all the way to the outside of the palace. Lu Pingping's face was not very good. When Lin Min saw it, he said softly, "My adoptive father has not been in a good mood recently. It has nothing to do with you!" Kanshu La
"I'm afraid my adoptive father is really angry this time!" Lu Pingping said.
"How can I see it?"
"I have made it clear that the fourth prince did this. If it were based on his adoptive father's character, he would definitely send people to find evidence. As long as evidence is found that the fourth prince is behind the scenes, then the adoptive father can hold high the banner. , fought into the capital, and succeeded in rescuing him! But... my adoptive father did not ask me to investigate this matter!"
After hearing this, Lin Min's eyes were very confused, "You mean, your adoptive father will let Qi Haobi go in this matter?"
"perhaps!"
"Him? Hmph! I believe women are cunning and cunning, but he can't handle such a big thing!"
Lu Pingping smiled after hearing this and turned to look at Lin Min, "This matter needs to be done as soon as possible! King Yongle must have sent people to investigate. Now we will see who can be faster!"
"You want me to remind my adoptive father?"
"Although my adoptive father is very angry with me, for the sake of the overall situation, this is nothing. If King Yongle takes the advantage, it will be too late for us to regret it!"
After hearing this, Lin Min was very curious, "Since you have guessed it a long time ago, it is impossible for you to leave no backup plan. Have you already started taking action?"
Lu Pingping gave Lin Min a smile, "You are the only one who knows me!"
Lin Min thought carefully, "Did you leave Meng Yingying behind?"
Lu Pingping smiled and nodded, "My goal is too big. Zhao Xuanyi has already issued an expulsion order this time. If I don't leave, something will happen to me, so I led the army back. Yingying's goal is very small. Besides, she still has friends in the capital, so let her stay and continue to lurk, so that it will be much easier when her adoptive father sends someone to go!"
After hearing this, Lin Min looked at Lu Pingping with admiration, "Why can't my adoptive father always see me?"
"Maybe it's because my adoptive father is old and his eyesight is not very good!" After Lu Pingping finished speaking, both of them laughed. Lu Pingping gently took Lin Min's hand. "Long time no see. How about going to my house to have a drink with me?" ?」
Lin Min nodded, "Okay!" After the two of them finished speaking, they walked out of the palace together, mounted their horses and left in style!
And Qilin camp
Inside, Zhao Xuanyi and Zhu Yuejun were sitting together, having lunch and chatting about the current affairs of the government and the public. The past few days have been relatively quiet, and the two of them have more time to discuss more things!
At present, all the fiefdoms planted by Zhao Xuanyi have a bumper harvest. Qilin Camp is seizing the time to dehydrate these potatoes, radishes, cabbages, etc. as soon as possible, and then transport them to the border. After all, these are the only vegetables that hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border can eat in winter!
There are also some such as chili peppers. Zhao Xuanyi asked all the soldiers to sizzle in the sun. When these red chili peppers become dried chili peppers, they can be stored for a long time! Food is the most important thing for the people. After all these things are taken care of, Zhao Xuanyi can sell them at a good price!
Zhao Xuanyi cooked a lot of delicious dishes himself and had people deliver them to Tang Rou and Du Xinyu. After leaving a portion for Zi Yuan, he brought the remaining dishes to Zhu Yuejun's tent and met with this person. Lunch with the eldest princess!
"At present, the construction of the Henan dam has been completed, and the food and vegetables sent are enough for them to eat, at least to survive this year!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Zhu Yuejun thought carefully, "If Huhao Military Camp does not pay the soldiers today, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the winter!"
"This is the matter of the fourth prince. He doesn't want the soldiers in Huhao Camp to starve to death in winter, so he should pay them quickly. But in this case, the national treasury will be even more urgent. In the future, there will be a big head like Liang Yun, and he can take it. Money!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"I guess it won't be so easy anymore. Even if it's a golden pig, it's not so easy to come up with money now!"
"You don't have to worry about it. Zhu Moxian wants this country, so he has to find a way. If you can't even pay for the food and clothing of the army, who wants you to do anything? Where are you looking? Then It’s not as good-looking as the leading lady in a brothel!”
"Why are your words so vulgar?"
"Vulgar?" Zhao Xuanyi put down his chopsticks. "Princess, you are really stubborn. The courtesan in the brothel is looking like a hundred taels of silver. Just let Zhu Moxian stand on the street. Do you think anyone will give you money?" ? In this regard, he is really not as good as the brothel girl!"
Zhu Yuejun put down the bowl and chopsticks and rolled his eyes at Zhao Xuanyi, "That's ridiculous!"
"This is a fact!" Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking and ate all the rice in the bowl. "Nanzhu, take it away!"
"Yes!" Nanzhu took down all the bowls and chopsticks!
"Young Master, I have something to report!" Shen Wei's voice came from outside the tent!
Zhao Xuanyi burped, "I'm so busy today, just give me time to eat! Come in!"
Shen Wei walked in and immediately saluted, "Meet the eldest princess!"
Zhu Yuejun waved his hand and said nothing!
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"The Fourth Prince sent someone to deliver an invitation, asking you to go to Tai Feng Tower for a drink today!"
Zhao Xuanyi sat up in excitement, "Who?"
"Fourth Prince!" Shen Wei said.
Zhao Xuanyi glanced at Zhu Yuejun. Zhu Yuejun frowned slightly and said nothing, but Zhu Yuejun felt inexplicably worried in his heart: "What is the fourth child looking for you at this time?"
"I still want to ask, is this guy planning another trap?" Zhao Xuanyi said softly.
"Young Master, how about I go and refuse?" Shen Wei asked.
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, "Send someone to send a message. Just tell him that I'm full for lunch and go over to pay him respects tonight!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei said and walked out of the tent.
"Are you going?" Zhu Yuejun was very worried.
"In this situation, what is there that can't be done? He doesn't dare to kill me, so don't worry!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a relaxed look.
"Why is he looking for you at this time?"
"The devil knows! I'll find out when I go there!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he looked at the map hanging on the side, walked over slowly, and drew on the location of the border pass with his hand. "I guess both Tatar and Wala have already With the troops withdrawn, the border can be quiet for a while!"
