The banquet ended successfully and all the officials left. Zhao Xuanyi did not drink much tonight. He can drink wine at any time, but no one dares to drink freely in the palace. If he drinks too much and is rude, he may get a beheading card. coupons!
When everyone walked out, Zhao Xuanyi was among them. He and Li Hanyan quickly drove to Li Hanrui's side. "Second brother, why did you come back so soon this time? Is the matter done?"
"More than a hundred people were captured. What did you find on them?"
"What? Baby?" Zhao Xuanyi asked curiously.
"The treasure map is the one you made! They went to Henan with this treasure map in their hands and started digging. As a result, they dug for several days and found nothing. When we went there, they didn't stop until they were They didn’t react until they were caught!”
"Have you found out who ordered it?" Zhao Xuanyi asked hurriedly.
"After being tortured, they only knew that it was a mission sent from above. They didn't know who it was exactly! But...?"
"What's wrong?"
"Although the map they are holding was made by you, it is not the original one!"
Zhao Xuanyi laughed when he heard this, "They plan to send several groups of people to dig separately! This Tatar is really easy to fool, dig it out!"
"But they have been arrested, so they shouldn't send more people, right?" Li Hanyan asked.
"Of course that's not the case. As long as we capture their people, they will think that there must be treasures in this place. They will continue to send people here in the future. You won't be able to stop them even if you want!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile!
"Really? They wouldn't be so stupid, would they?"
"The premise is that they don't know that the map is fake!"
Only then did Li Hanyan understand and nodded gently!
"Why not just send these people back?" Tang Mi walked over and said.
When Li Hanyan heard Tang Mi's voice, it was as if she had heard some curse words. She immediately turned around and glared at Tang Mi, "I finally caught it, why did I let him go?"
"Send this group of people to the Tartars and use the majesty of the country to blackmail them. You can give them money, but even better, give them cattle and sheep! Killing them will be in vain, why not exchange them for something!"
"This...?" Li Hanyan turned to look at Li Hanrui. She really didn't dare to talk nonsense about this matter!
After hearing this, Li Hanrui couldn't help but nodded, "This is a good idea. I will arrange for people to send them to the border and let my father and eldest brother negotiate with the Tatars. After all, they came to our country to dig for treasures, so they cannot be let go so easily." Him! Miss Tang has a good plan!"
Tang Mi looked at Li Hanyan and smiled slightly. Li Hanyan grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's arm, seemingly showing off her husband to Tang Mi! Tang Mi shrugged and said nothing!
Several people had just arrived outside the Meridian Gate. Before they could get on the bus, they heard a girl's voice coming from behind: "Mr. Zhao, please stay!"
When everyone turned their heads, they saw Nan Zhu walking over and saluting in front of everyone, "Dong Zhao, the eldest princess invites you to come over to discuss things!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay!" Then he looked at Li Hanyan and Tang Mi, "Second brother, you and Han Yan go back first. I will go to the eldest princess to discuss some things, and then I will go back!"
"Okay!" Li Hanrui naturally did not dare to block the eldest princess's order, so he, Li Hanyan and Tang Mi took two unicorn chariots back home!
Zhao Xuanyi followed Nan Zhu into the palace and walked towards Mingyue Palace. Zhao Xuanyi looked inside the palace as he walked and saw that the other courtyards of the palace were also decorated very magnificently. After all, it was the emperor's birthday, so it was naturally festive!
The branches are all hung with colorful ribbons, and red ribbons are placed on each courtyard. It is estimated that if it is summer, many flowers in the imperial garden will be decorated!
When they arrived at Mingyue Palace and walked into the hall, they saw Zhu Yuejun sitting on the beauty's couch. When the other maids saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, they all walked out of the room knowingly.
Zhao Xuanyi came to sit next to Zhu Yuejun, grabbed Zhu Yuejun's shoulders with both hands, and started massaging Zhu Yuejun, "Are you busy today?"
"It's been three months, so exhausting!" Zhu Yuejun complained!
"You have worked hard, the emperor will reward you, right?"
"It's nothing more than some gold, silver, and jade items. I can barely fit them in my warehouse!"
"Give it to me, I can fit a lot more in that room!"
Zhu Yuejun laughed after hearing this, "How dare you want the gift from the emperor? Don't you want to live anymore?"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he stuck out his tongue, which seemed inappropriate, "What's the matter with coming to me?"
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, the expression on his face became very serious, and he turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, "You are going to attack Japan this time. Do you have any plans?"
"Plan? There is no plan! This is not a war, but a massacre! I have no intention of peace talks this time! Don't they like night raids? I will also give them a night raid and let them go to the Western Paradise in their sleep! "
"But your troops are limited, so going like this is undoubtedly a risk!"
"I have already planned it. I can raise about 120,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough for me!"
"Twenty thousand? Where did you get so many people?"
"Of course I don't have enough on my own, but fortunately there are still 40,000 border guards at my Qilin Camp. I borrowed another 40,000 from the Far East!"
"Will the Far Eastern Army lend you money?"
"I borrowed it from Tang Mi, so naturally I have to give them some benefits! I can handle this myself!"
"Then I will ask the Moon Guards to open the supply line for you. With my guidance along the way, it should save you a lot of trouble in logistics. At the same time, I will also ask the emperor for your military pay!"
Zhao Xuanyi kissed Zhu Yuejun directly on the cheek, "You are the best!"
"Don't be too happy. The prince will follow you this time. This is the most important thing. You must not let the prince make any mistakes. Otherwise, even if you destroy Japan, you will not be able to escape the death penalty when you come back!" Zhu Yuejun said seriously said.
"Understood, I'm not a fool. This time it's Tu Guo. I will definitely protect the prince! I will repay them for all the things they did to me back then!" Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said.
"You must have heard Qi Lianzhong's request for his son's orders today at the Mingde Hall?"
"You'd better tell him that he'd better not let his son go to the battlefield, otherwise I guarantee that his son will become a martyr!"
"Since Qi Lianzhong raised this matter in the palace, even the emperor probably wouldn't be able to refuse! You already know Qi Mingshan's plan, so you must be careful!"
"Hmph! At worst, I will kill him directly and then lie that he was killed by Japanese people. His Qi family can still gain a reputation as a loyal man!"
"How can things be as simple as you think? Qi Mingshan is now a member of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. He will definitely lead a team by himself. Unless you kill all this team, you will leave trouble!"
"Then... how about I kill them all?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun and asked in a cold tone.
Zhu Yuejun sighed, "The position of Prime Minister Zuo is still very strong now. I have checked him more than once over the years, but I can't find anything!"
"I understand! Don't worry, I will plan it carefully! One more thing, I sent someone to inquire a few days ago. King Yong'an has 130,000 private soldiers. Do you know about this?"
"What?" Zhu Yuejun hurriedly sat up straight, "One hundred and thirty thousand?"
"Yes, the source of this news is very reliable, you must be careful!"
Zhu Yuejun was very shocked, "Although my brother and I have guessed that these vassal kings have private soldiers, we didn't expect that King Yong'an alone has 130,000 private soldiers? I guess the other two princes will have no less!"
"I'm also afraid that if I go on an expedition and they take the opportunity to cause trouble, I'll be in trouble! So I plan to leave 20,000 people in the military camp, 10,000 Qilin guards, and 10,000 border guards. I will give you the Qilin order before I leave. Unexpected, please send me a message immediately, and I will come back immediately to provide assistance. With my ten thousand Qilin Guards here, even if he wants to use his troops to attack the capital, it will not be that easy!"
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, she immediately felt safe in her heart and gently leaned into Zhao Xuanyi's arms, "If possible, I really don't want you to go to the battlefield!"
"Don't worry, I'm not a new recruit.
If you know what to do, these feudal lords will be honest with me! "After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he held Zhu Yuejun in his arms. "I must go back tonight, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with a lot of time. Why don't we hurry up?"
Zhu Yuejun's pretty face turned red, and she nodded slightly. The next moment, Zhu Yuejun's body flew into the air, and she was picked up by Zhao Xuanyi and rushed directly into the dormitory!
In the prime minister's house, Qi Lianzhong and Qi Mingshan, father and son, were sitting on the tea table. Qi Mingshan stood up and poured a cup of tea for his father, "Father, what do you mean by asking me to go on an expedition today?"
"Son, I don't believe you can't guess it!" Qi Lianzhong said with a smile.
"What my son can guess is that my father asked me to make great achievements when I was young. The rest... my son is stupid!"
"You! You are always so upright!" Qi Lianzhong picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. "Zhao Xuanyi is going to go on an expedition this time, but to be honest, how many people are there in the Qilin Guard? It's less than 60,000. Even if he has 60,000 Qilin Guards, Man is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, how easy is it to destroy a country?"
"So it is inevitable that he will be short of troops, and this time you can lead 10,000 elite troops to follow Zhao Xuanyi. You have never been on the battlefield, and Zhao Xuanyi will definitely not reuse you. This is understandable, but! You can do it Something else!"
"What does father mean?"
Qi Lianzhong's eyes exuded murderous intent, "Take the opportunity to kill Zhao Xuanyi!"
"Kill Zhao Xuanyi?" Qi Mingshan asked in surprise.
"Hmph! This time your sister was almost able to move into the East Palace! If Zhao Xuanyi hadn't caused trouble outside, I'm afraid she would have done it now! And Zhao Xuanyi wants to massacre Japan, so I will let him go, and then let him die in Japan, he As long as we can't come back, our Qi family will have no rivals. When the prince comes back, I will have a way to send your sister into the East Palace!"
When Qi Mingshan heard Qi Lianzhong's plan, he couldn't help but feel very nervous, "Father, assassinate the Lord Protector? This is not a small crime!"
"Who said it must be assassinated? Poisoning or planning, what can't be done? In any case, Zhao Xuanyi must be killed in Japan. By then, our Qi family will dominate the entire Ming Dynasty. With the power of the master, we will have no worries for the rest of our lives. ! So this matter is imperative! You can’t rely on your sister alone for everything, right?”
Qi Mingshan thought about it and finally lowered his head, "The son will definitely complete his father's plan!"
"Okay! This is my Qi Lianzhong's son, hahaha...!" Qi Lianzhong laughed heartily after saying this!
Half an hour later, Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the room with a satisfied look on his face. Nanzhu had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Zhao Xuanyi coming out, Nanzhu hurriedly came over and rolled his eyes at Zhao Xuanyi. Then he hurriedly arranged Zhao Xuanyi's belt and jade pendant, and returned them. There is a collar!
"This is the palace, you have to be careful. If someone sees the clues, both you and the eldest princess will be in trouble!" Nanzhu scolded softly.
"I was careless!" After Zhao Xuanyi said, Da Nanzhu slapped Da Nanzhu's buttocks. Nanzhu's face turned red, he took a bite from Zhao Xuanyi, and then walked out with Zhao Xuanyi!
When the two walked out of the Meridian Gate, a carriage was parked outside. After Nan Zhu got on the carriage, he pulled Zhao Xuanyi up, and then drove away from the palace. Zhao Xuanyi sat in the carriage and opened the curtain, "Is there any news recently?"
When Nanzhu heard Zhao Xuanyi's question, he knew what Zhao Xuanyi was going to ask. "It's been very quiet outside recently, nothing special, but I heard that there is something happy over there with King Yong'an!"
"A happy event?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled, thinking that Lu Pingping had already rebelled, so what other happy event could there be? "What happy event?"
"He wants to marry his third son Qi Haobi and second daughter Lin ***!"
"Marriage? The two of them?" Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised. Lin Min and Lu Pingping were inseparable. This move of King Yong'an was undoubtedly a notification to Lu Pingping to lure him back! "Wang Yong'an is still good at playing, and he actually put his godgirl and godson together. How do you say that? A cousin matches a dog, and it lasts forever!"
Nan Zhu rolled his eyes at Zhao Xuanyi, "Such dirty words come from the mouth of your majestic Lord Protector. It's really shocking!"
