Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 297
In Chang'an City, Wudiefang, Haixi Street.

There is a house here, covering an area of ​​several acres, with towers, pavilions and pavilions all with the charm of the Northland, and the Huqin in the courtyard is melodious, but it is a Northland spring courtyard.

Behind the house, there is a monastery.

In the middle of the hall of the Jingshe, there is an orchid wearing a white feather beard and a white bra/breast, dancing gracefully.

On the first seat in the hall, there is a man in his early twenties, drinking from a pot.This person is tall and tall, with fierce eyes, a long sword in his hand under his leg, the table is full of leftover food, the soup and wine are stained with expensive felt, but the master who is waiting on the side is bowing down. He didn't dare to say a word.

Er, Hu Ji finished her dance, and smiled softly at the man in a coquettish manner.

The man laughed loudly, picked up a plate made of gold from his hand, and threw it to Hu Ji along with the soup.

"Reward you!"

Hu Ji was overjoyed, ignoring the dirty gold plate, picked it up with both hands respectfully and backed away.

At this time, all the talents in the room looked at the young man together.

"Zhang Desan!"

Following the man's shout, a thin middle-aged man immediately stood up and cupped his hands, performing military etiquette.

"The gates of the various cities are still under intense investigation?"

"Hui Shizi, the bright side is a little looser than the previous few days, but there are a lot more eyes in the dark."

The young man smiled indifferently: "I just said that Zheng people are not so stupid."

A man in a Confucian uniform got up and saluted: "My lord, all the missions in the post have been taken down by the Zheng people. If the Zheng people are in a hurry and punish Liu Zheng, I'm afraid he will confess if he can't stand it anymore." Come out."

"That also requires Liu Ranhe to know where I am!" The young man shook his head, "The only thing that matters is that we were on a mission and failed to kill Emperor Zheng. If there is no chaos in Zheng State, our country will use troops in Hengshan After all, the income is limited. Hengshan County is strong, if the reinforcements here cannot be cut off, the plan to control the center of the Northland is just empty talk."

Someone sneered: "That was also caused by the ineffectiveness of King Zhao's news. He did it himself, but he didn't even hurt Prince Zheng's velvet hair! This waste is now completely killed by the officials of the Mansion, and he is himself It’s hard to guarantee, but it hurts us.”

The young prince Dai Guo suddenly laughed.

"You really think it's King Zhao who contacted us?"

Someone was taken aback: "My lord, isn't it the King Zhao or who? Don't the people who contacted us all hold King Zhao's token?"

Some people also echoed: "I went to Zhao Wang's gate secretly, and there is a person who is indeed an official of Zhao Wang, so it should be true. In addition, if Emperor Zheng and the prince are really killed, Zhao Wang will be the second son. , the gain should also be the greatest."

Shizi shook his head and laughed.

"From the very beginning, I didn't believe that they belonged to King Zhao. How can there be someone who hastily explained their origins so clearly before they finished their work? I'm afraid the few people we met were all killed by others. Sergeant. After a few days, you go to see it again, I am afraid that the people who met us before are all dead and have no evidence."

Everyone was puzzled, but the Confucian scholar was the only one who agreed with the Son of Heaven.

"It's not King Zhao, it should be the other sons of Emperor Zheng. If we succeed, Emperor Zheng and the crown prince will die, then that person will sell us and King Zhao's subordinates, and King Zhao will also be dead."

The prince also lowered his face at this moment: "Order me, don't go out, and hide here carefully. This is the capital of Zheng Guo after all. How long will he be able to seal it off?"

Although everyone was embarrassed, they agreed one by one.

Among them, Zhang Desan took a deep breath: "Who is this person? Such a deep calculation, but how can he guarantee that he will finally get the great treasure?"

The prince shook his head: "Actually, this prince also wants to know who this person is, so how can he ensure that he can get this great position?"

Imperial City, Longhua Palace.

Sanfu was lying on the ground, looking at the old man on the high platform with his back to him, looking at the sunset with tears in his eyes.

The figure was extremely lonely for a moment.

An hour ago, the palace official came to report: King Zhao is dead!

King Zhao, who was imprisoned in the palace, did not eat or drink for three whole days. Today, taking advantage of the negligence of the palace people, he hanged himself from the beam with his belt.Before Zhao Wang died, he cut his palm and wrote three words of deep resentment on the wall of the hall.

"not me!"

After the old emperor heard the news, he stood on the high platform of Longhua Hall and looked at the sky in a daze. No one dared to ask.

San Fu is the person who knows the old emperor best. Don't look at the indifference on the emperor's face after hearing that his son committed suicide, but he knows how intense the pain in the emperor's heart is at this time.

The emperor knew from the beginning that this matter had little to do with King Zhao.But Zhao Wang's mansion was infiltrated into a sieve by multiple forces.

The fault of King Zhao was not his coveting and greed for the throne, but his incompetence.None of Zhao Wangfu and other subordinate officials died unjustly.

The emperor locked Zhao Wang in the palace because he was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to harm him or force him to death, and let Zhao Wang bear the blame for these things.Obviously, there are other people's tricks in the palace, Zhao Wang committed suicide after being provoked.

Sanfu looked at the lonely back of the emperor, and also thought of other people's evaluation of the emperor.

This is the one who has been commented as the most ruthless among the successive emperors of Dazheng.In this harem, women have never been born as concubines, only concubines.The only concubine was this year when the King of Song was established as the crown prince, and the birth mother of the King of Song, Cao Shi, was posthumously named a concubine.

But Sanfu knew that the emperor was not ruthless, but just too dedicated.A few years ago, he had promised others that the first concubine in his harem would only be her, unless it was a posthumous dead person.

After a long time, the old emperor turned his head numbly.

"Concubine Zhao and her children, leave Beijing within a time limit after King Zhao's first seven days, let them go to fiefdom."

"promise!"

"Continue to investigate, including the palace! The capital continues to be sealed, and I lost a son, it's worth it!"

Sanfu was about to retreat when suddenly the emperor gave another order.

"Huzi, I told Jin'e not to send any news at will, and don't let interested people focus on Biyiyuan. If you really need to send a message, use the name of the Meng family of the Zhang family."

"Let's hang out in the palace!"

"Your Majesty," San Fu hurriedly dissuaded, "It's not in line with etiquette, the prince."

"I have made up my mind. All the palaces are hung with blanks. The person in charge is mourning for King Zhao, including Piyi Garden. Let him also worship for his second uncle. As for the prince? The prince is in charge of this matter. In addition, it is planned The order is for the servants of the Eastern Palace to take over the battle of Hengshan, and I will leave the capital to be honored and supported, and the crown prince will supervise the country!"

Sanfu stared blankly at the emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"Hehehe, it's cold in autumn, and I miss Tangchizi in Guyuan Mountain outside Beijing. When I come back for the palace examination, I will hand over the capital to the prince. By the way, the prince's mid-autumn show is good. Take it with you."

Sanfu understood the emperor's meaning: the last thing the black hand behind the scenes wanted was for the great Zheng to be peaceful, and then the crown prince would take over the power smoothly.But now things backfired. The death of King Zhao stimulated the emperor and let the prince supervise the country.These days, the emperor is not around, but anyone who still thinks about the throne will definitely attack the prince during this period.

Also, Guyuan Mountain Tangchizi is just beside Nanshan Daying, and behind Nanshan Daying is Nanshan Biyi Garden.
