Zhurou

Chapter 14
As the departure was imminent, Zhao Mingzhi did not give them any chance to perform, but made assignments to everyone one by one.

Mo Xiang wanted to fight again, but she didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she went out without hesitation.

After a while, Yushuang led Dr. Liu into the house.

The sky in Caizhou was low and the clouds were thick that day. Although it was noon, the sky was a bit gloomy.

Zhao Mingzhi looked at the seats, and asked straight to the point: "Doctor Liu, yesterday's incense..."

Liu Feng didn't need her to say any more, and didn't sit down, he took out a small jade box from his arms and put it in the palm of his left hand, opened it with his right hand, stepped forward two steps, and presented it in front of Zhao Mingzhi.

In the wooden box are the incense and ashes in the furnace that Yushuang secretly hid yesterday.

"I'm not good at learning arts, and I'm really not good at curing incense. I dare not jump to conclusions for a while. If your highness can be trusted, I will pass by Ezhou when I move to the south. There is an old friend of mine. This person has loved incense since childhood, and also If you study medicine, you should be able to help you study one or two things."

Zhao Mingzhi asked: "Is this person trustworthy?"

Liu Fengdao: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will use the head of the item as a guarantee."

Zhao Mingzhi pondered for a moment, and said: "Ezhou is a little far away from here, and the capital may not be moved in the middle of the court this time. If so, please trouble Dr. Liu to write a letter, and I will send it right away."

Liu Feng hesitated for a while, before he said: "Your Highness... I think it's best not to publicize this matter. It's not appropriate for letters to go back and forth. Why don't I go there myself?"

Zhao Mingzhi didn't agree, but said softly: "I trust Uncle Liu, and I won't hide it from you. I have something to go out for, and I've never been in Caizhou. I only accompany the medical officers. I entrust my brother's health to you."

Speaking of this, he softened his tone and said: "This matter is only for discussion. If Uncle Liu feels that it is inconvenient and unwilling..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Feng on the opposite side covered the jade box in his hand, raised his head and straightened up and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the villain has come to receive the great favor of Prince Jia's Mansion, so I should do my best, besides, I am from Jin , although he doesn't practice martial arts, he can't wield a knife or spear, and he can't kill Di people, but he also understands the righteousness."

He didn't ask too much, turned around and took the pen and paper that Yushuang put aside, and wrote the letter in a short time, sealing it with wax.

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Zhao Mingzhi didn't hesitate, and just explained a few more words, and the matter was settled.

After sending Dr. Liu away, she nodded to Wang Shu who was standing beside her.

The other party got the signal and went out quickly. After a while, he invited Yushi Zhongcheng Yang Ting into the room.

The two spied undercover for half an hour.

Yang Ting is mature and prudent, until now he still has illusions, he always feels that the Di people will not come to fight the autumn wind, just like when he kidnapped the Supreme Emperor Zhao Xuan last time, he will return on his own when he has robbed enough gold and silver population, and has no covetousness for the Central Plains Datong , as long as the past is perfunctory, you can still survive.

But Jingzhao Mansion is different, once there is chaos in the northwest, Pei Yong will follow the trend and turn against it, which is the real serious trouble.

Regarding Zhao Mingzhi's idea of ​​seconding the Western Army to assist Xuzhou, he clearly expressed his opposition.

Zhao Mingzhi had expected it a long time ago, and asked: "Could it be that the people of Xuzhou were killed by Di Ren, and they acted like this, what would the soldiers guarding the city gate think? What would the people in the world think?"

Yang Ting was speechless for a while, but he still refused to retreat, saying: "I know that your highness is worried about the people, but the affairs of the world and the state are not that simple. At this time, only Xuzhou is trapped. If Pei Yong takes advantage of the situation to occupy Xuzhou..."

Zhao Mingzhi seemed to have caught something, and asked simply: "Then according to what Zhong Cheng said, if Pei Yong came to protect His Majesty alone, and the court sent another general to lead the Western Army, or incorporated the Western Army into the Forbidden Army, this matter would be for the sake of it." feasible?"

Hearing this, Yang Ting raised his head in disbelief, and asked, "Why does Your Highness have such a dream? How could Pei Yong agree to such a self-destructive thing? Not to mention sending another general, as long as he agrees to mix the Western Army into the Forbidden Army , send someone else to lead, even if he himself does not come, it is already enough."

How is this different from explaining military power?

Unless Pei Yong is stupid...

He hesitated for a moment, lest Zhao Mingzhi was not aware of the court practice, and actually sent an edict to Jingzhao Mansion to provoke the murderous god. He didn't rebel at first, but finally forced him to rebel, and said hastily: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive, just do it this way." , it is really unwise, you should slowly figure it out..."

Both sides quickly got each other's commitment.

Zhao Mingzhi promised that he would not force the edict, and ordered Na Pei Yong to escort him.

Yang Ting agreed that as long as the Jingzhao government agreed to incorporate the Western Army into the Forbidden Army, both sides could designate a commander together, and agreed to send troops to Xuzhou.

In order to show that he was not being perfunctory, he also circled the names of several generals on the spot.

"These four people have all been garrisoned in the northwest round and have been favored by the court for many years. They should have no second choice and should be the first choice."

Once approved, Zhao Mingzhi immediately released him.

Yang Ting only felt that he had no clue when he was summoned this time, when he followed the little yellow gate out of the house, he just walked not far, but Yue Pin felt that something was wrong.

The garden here was originally requisitioned temporarily and did not occupy a large area. When he reached the corner, he deliberately slowed down and looked back.

But outside the room he just came out of, another Xiao Huangmen led a person coming from the opposite direction.

Just at this moment, the man raised his head and looked at him.

Yang Ting couldn't help being taken aback.

It was Zhang Yi, deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Zhang Yi was obviously not prepared for the fact that the two were summoned one after the other.

One of the two left and the other arrived for the first time, but they both planted a seed of suspicion in their hearts.

***
In just one hour, Zhao Mingzhi met with many ministers of the two governments one after another.

Everyone was different from the morning court meeting. When they met Zhao Mingzhi alone at this moment, their resistance to the transfer of troops from Jingzhao Mansion seemed to be more than a little weaker for no reason.

After learning that Yang Ting, the toughest censor Zhongcheng, had also given in, everyone followed suit without much effort, and some even offered to offer a lot of other candidates to lead the army.

After sending people away one by one, it was already the end of Shen Shi.

Some palace people have lit the wax up.

Zhao Mingzhi summoned the last person while it was still dark.

She laid out the conditions she agreed to Yang Ting, and then asked: "If Pei Yong is really like this, will he participate in politics and second the transfer of troops from the northwest?"

Half a zhang away, Lu Xianzhang stood with his sleeves down.

His expression was a little cramped and nervous at first, but after hearing Zhao Mingzhi's words, his expression immediately changed.

Different from the previous ministers who followed the trend, he frowned and asked, "Why did Your Highness ask such a question suddenly? Then Pei Yong will definitely not agree, if not..."

Then, without waiting for Zhao Mingzhi to speak, Lu Xianzhang suddenly raised his head.

"Your Highness..."

He was so blessed that he suddenly realized it, so he didn't care about losing his composure, stepped forward half a step, and asked in a loud voice: "Is it impossible to go to the Jingzhao Mansion in person?"

　Bye, Xiao Lu.

　　Hi, Xiao Pei.
