The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 369 I still underestimated Uncle Guo
On their way back to Beijing, the King of Chu and his party pretended to be businessmen and never aroused suspicion.Somewhere fifty kilometers away from the capital, the King of Chu decided to restore his identity.However, before restoring his identity, he had to write a letter back to Beijing.

In a guest house somewhere, the King of Chu wrote a letter and gave it to Wei Mian.

Wei Mian took the letter with both hands and asked, "Your Highness, will this letter be sent to Li Pushe?"

"No, send it directly to the palace." In his capacity as a prince, the King of Chu also sent it back to the palace as an urgent letter.If the prince was not under house arrest, his letter might have been intercepted.However, now that the prince is under house arrest in the East Palace, he cannot intercept the letter from King Chu.

"Your Highness, is it okay to send it directly to the palace?" Wei Mian was worried that the letter would not be successfully sent to the palace.

"The prince is under house arrest. He has no ability to block my letter now."

Wei Mian then remembered that the prince was under house arrest not long ago, "I will arrange for someone to send him away immediately."

King Chu nodded lightly: "Go."

Not long after Wei Mian left, King Chu heard a familiar bird call, and then he saw Xiao Jin flying next to Zhao Yao.

Xiao Jin flew to the window and looked up at King Chu proudly.

Seeing Xiao Jin, King Chu unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled.

"Wait a moment." King Chu walked to the door and told the guards guarding the door to bring some snacks and fruits.

After King Chu finished his instructions, he returned to the room and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jin himself.

"You drink some tea first."

Xiao Jin was very satisfied with King Chu's service attitude.It lowered its head and took a swig of tea.After drinking a cup of tea, it raised its paw towards King Chu to signal for another cup of tea.

King Chu understood and poured another cup of tea for Xiao Jin.

The tea Xiao Jin drank was this year's Longjing tea, which King Chu bought on the road.

Even though Xiao Jin is a golden eagle, since he followed Zhao Yao, he has been eating and drinking very well, especially drinking.Zhao Yao likes to drink tea, and all the tea he drinks is tribute tea. Xiao Jin drinks tribute tea with him. After drinking it for a long time, his mouth starts to hold in his mouth.

Soon, the waiter brought a plate of sliced ​​apples and two plates of snacks.

The King of Chu crushed the snacks in person and said, "The snacks in the guest house are just ordinary. You can eat them first. When I get back to the capital, I will treat you to delicious snacks." The tenth brother likes to eat snacks, and so does his golden eagle. Eat snacks, what kind of owners really have what kind of pets.

Xiao Jin nodded his little head, and then ate the apples and snacks happily.

When Wei Mian came back after delivering the letter, he was happy when he saw Xiao Jin coming.

"Master Xiao Jin is here." [Master Xiao Jin] is Wei Mian's name for Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin is very satisfied with this title. "Your Highness, is it okay for Your Highness Ten to be in Yangzhou?"

King Chu had just read the letter Zhao Yao asked Xiao Jin to send.While folding the letter carefully, he answered Wei Mian's question: "My tenth brother is doing well in Yangzhou."

"The matter at Jinling did not involve His Highness the Tenth Prince, right?"

"No, the tenth brother is in Yangzhou and is not involved." Even if the tenth brother is in Jinling, Lao Ba will not let him get involved. "Third brother was worried about my safety, so he specially sent Xiao Jin to find me."

"Since you were arranged to go to Pengcheng by the Emperor, His Highness has been worried about your safety."

After hearing this, King Chu had a warm smile in his eyes: "I made him worry."

"Tomorrow, we can return to the capital, and His Highness the Tenth Prince will not have to worry about you." At least when we return to the capital tomorrow, we don't have to worry about assassination.Since His Highness was sent to Pengcheng, he encountered many assassinations along the way.To be honest, he lost count.

"You go to rest first."

"Your Highness, you should also take a rest early." After Wei Mian finished speaking, he retreated respectfully.

King Chu looked at Xiao Jin, who had already eaten apples and snacks, and said to him warmly: "You should have a good rest tonight, and then help me deliver the message tomorrow."

Xiao Jin nodded, and immediately flew out and rested on the tallest tree outside the guest house.

King Chu was not in a hurry to rest, but wrote a reply to Zhao Yao first.In the letter, he told Zhao Yao that everything was fine with him and asked Zhao Yao not to worry about him.He also said that by the time Zhao Yao received the letter, he would have returned to the capital safely.Thinking that there would be a bloody storm when he returned to the capital, he told Zhao Yao in his letter that he would put in a good word for him and let him stay in Yangzhou for a while longer.

When he returns, the capital will become restless and will continue for some time.If Zhao Yao returns to Beijing at this time, he may be implicated and involved in this bloody storm, which may be dangerous.

The King of Chu did not dare to gamble with Zhao Yao's safety, so he thought it would be better to let Zhao Yao stay in Yangzhou temporarily.

The guest house was not far from the capital. Before dawn, the letter from King Chu was delivered to the palace.

Sun Kui was keeping vigil in person tonight. Seeing Chang Yuan's letter from King Chu, he walked into the emperor's bedroom without any hesitation and woke up the sleeping emperor.

The emperor once said that if there is a letter from the King of Chu, or there is news about the King of Chu, he must be told.

Sun Kui held a lamp in his hand and stood beside the bed to illuminate the emperor.

After the emperor read the letter, he raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "The Fourth Brother did not disappoint me."

"Your Majesty, is His Royal Highness King Chu coming back?"

"The fourth child will be able to return to the capital tomorrow." The emperor looked at Sun Kui and explained, "Let Lao Song and Lao Zhang lead the troops to bring the fourth child back."

"now?"

"Let's set off now and ask them to pick up the fourth child directly from the house."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wait a minute, let Lao He and Lao Liu come to see me in the morning." "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Song Weikang and Zhang Gong were awakened from their sleep, they led the army to leave the capital in a mighty manner.

The two of them were generals and were highly valued by the emperor.Any movement they make will attract the attention of other ministers in the court.

When the servants of the ministers learned that Song Weikang and Zhang Gong had hurried out of the capital overnight with a group of soldiers, they thought something serious had happened and hurriedly reported it to their adults.

After a while, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China knew that Song Weikang and Zhang Gong had left the capital with their troops, which made them very shocked and uneasy.

When the ministers saw that Song Weikang and the others had created such a huge battle, they couldn't help but wonder if something big had happened. Was the Zhenxi Army creating a rebellion?
Xie Shi, who was in charge of Zhenguo's government, was at the Zhenxi Military Camp. This made the civil and military officials have to wonder if Xie Shi was leading the Zhenxi Military Camp to rebel?
For a time, people panic.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu were very calm because they knew that King Chu was back.

Early the next morning, He Xiang and Grand Master Liu entered the palace an hour early.After other ministers learned about this incident, they felt more and more that something serious had happened.

In the imperial study, the emperor greeted He Xiang and others to have breakfast and talked to them.

This is not the first time for He Xiang and the others to have dinner with the emperor.Besides, there is still an hour before the morning court. If you don’t eat something now, you will be hungry later.

"The Fourth Brother not only brought back the stolen copper, but also brought back witnesses." The emperor held the meat buns in one hand and the porridge in the other. "Do you think I should depose the prince?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is indeed capable." He Xiang praised the King of Chu first, and then asked, "Where did His Highness the King of Chu find the copper?"

The emperor winked at He Xiang and said very naughtily: "Guess."

He Xiang looked at the emperor with disgust: "Your Majesty, you are not His Highness, so you are not suitable for blinking."

Taishi Liu sharply echoed: "In the words of His Highness, it's greasy!"

The emperor glared at He Xiang and them: "I am a talented person, charming and suave, with jade trees facing the wind, rich and handsome, but there is nothing greasy about me."

He Xiang and Taishi Liu did not speak, but looked at the emperor with disgust.

The emperor asked for trouble and did not dwell on this topic again.Back to the truth: "The fourth child found the stolen copper in Osmanthus Village in Wuhua Mountain."

He Xiang and Taishi Liu exclaimed in unison: "Wuhua Mountain?"

"I didn't expect it, and I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would be so bold as to smuggle copper under the nose of Zhenxi Military Camp and secretly forge weapons." The emperor said, taking a bite of steamed buns and a big mouthful of porridge.When he drank porridge, he made a loud noise and had no image of an emperor. "What surprises me the most is that my brother-in-law sent people to secretly make a deal with Han Zhong. Han Zhong was forging weapons in Shu, and his brother-in-law was among them."

He Xiang and Taishi Liu did not expect this to happen, and they were both very surprised.

"I didn't know about this when I was interrogating in Shu." Taishi Liu's interrogation skills are very high. He interrogated in person. No one can hide what happened to him, and no one can deceive him. "It seems that only Han Zhong knows about this matter."

"Your Majesty, your brother-in-law is really capable. He actually made an arms deal with Han Zhong." He Xiang was very shocked. "The most important thing is that no one knows about this."

"Your Majesty, how did the King of Chu know about this matter?" Taishi Liu was curious. After all, he had stayed in Shu for several months before and had never heard of this matter.

"The fourth child guessed it." The emperor took a few more mouthfuls of porridge. "The fourth child found that the weapons forged in Osmanthus Village were very similar to the weapons secretly forged in Shu. He guessed that there might be weapons forged in Shu for my brother-in-law. "

He Xiang exclaimed: "The King of Chu is really as careful as his hair."

"Your Majesty, your brother-in-law won't collude with Han Zhong, right?"

"That's not true. My brother-in-law would not be so stupid." The emperor said thoughtfully, "I guess that my brother-in-law did not confess his identity to Han Zhong. Han Zhong should only know that the person who asked him to forge weapons is in the capital. He holds such an important position, maybe he thinks he is one of my sons."

Taishi Liu thought about it and felt that the emperor's words were right.

"If Han Zhong knew that Duke Zhen was doing arms trading with him, he would definitely use this matter to threaten Duke Zhen to achieve some of his goals."

"I really underestimated your brother-in-law." Although the former Duke of the town was deposed, He Xiang and the others could not call him by his name. After all, he was still the uncle of the country.

"Do you think I should depose the prince?" The emperor asked, "If I depose the prince, will my brother-in-law rebel?"

Taishi Liu said: "Rebellion, we must rebel, but Uncle Guo does not dare to rebel now." This "Uncle Guo" was full of ridicule.

"Uncle Guo is not stupid enough to rebel now." He Xiang said, "However, the prince can be deposed."

"What happens after it's gone?"

"Your Majesty, if the prince is deposed and demoted to a prince, he will naturally go to a fief." He Xiang said meaningfully, "The deposed prince's fief can be chosen near the Zhenxi Military Camp."

Taishi Liu continued what Xiang He said and said: "Uncle Guo and the others do not have enough power to rebel now. Give them a few years to cultivate their power. When the time is right, they will definitely rebel, and then they will be able to legitimately eradicate the Zhenguo Palace."

The emperor pointed at He Xiang and Taishi Liu, laughed and cursed: "You two are really vicious."

He Xianghe and Taishi Liu said angrily: "Not as good as you."

"Thank you for your compliment." The emperor said something strange.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is deposed. Do you want to make King Chu the new crown prince?"

The emperor deliberately winked at He Xiang and the others in a cute way: "Guess."

He Xianghe and Taishi Liu said: "..." Suddenly they felt nauseous.
