The villain and traitor is my brother

After his exhortation failed, Zheng Wenping gave up and turned to Pei Yuanqi, "Brother Yuanqi, when will you set off?"

"It's time to leave tomorrow."

Several people stopped talking about the matter and had a hearty meal of mutton pot.

After dinner, Zheng Qiuyun asked Chu Lian to find Ji Ruyan. She had many spies in Huamanlou, so it was most appropriate to ask her to inquire about the eldest prince and Da'anguo.

Zheng Qiuyun also wrote a letter to Zhao Linlang and asked her to send some banknotes.In addition, Zheng Qiuyun also asked Wei Zichang to take with her the people Chu Lian had been secretly training. On the surface, there were only two thousand elite soldiers beside her, but in fact there were far more.

Pei Yuanqi received the imperial edict and set off for the frontier fortress the next day. Zheng Qiuyun escorted him to the city gate.

Not long after Pei Yuanqi left, Ji Ruyan came to look for Zheng Qiuyun.

She said concisely and concisely: "The eldest prince has indeed colluded with the Da'an people. He also set a trap for General Pei, preparing him to never come back."

Zheng Qiuyun unfolded the letter, and the handwriting on it was crooked. It seemed that someone had written it deliberately so that others would not recognize it.

"Do you know what the trap is?"

"One of General Pei's cronies has been bribed by the eldest prince. When he gets to the battlefield, he will stab General Pei while General Pei is not paying attention. Once General Pei is injured, the eldest prince will wait for an opportunity."

Zheng Qiuyun put away the secret letter and said, "I didn't know whether Xiao Yi was smart or stupid at the moment. Pei Yuanqi was transferred away by him using a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He was still worried and wanted to seriously hurt him. The people of Da'an took the opportunity to attack the pond and plunder the land. His throne Can you sit still?"

Ji Ruyan gave her another letter, "The eldest prince has negotiated terms with the Da'an people. When he ascends the throne, Da'an's tribute will be waived."

"If you can destroy Daxuan, it won't matter if you don't pay tribute." Zheng Qiuyun continued, "Pei Yuanqi just left not long ago, I will send someone to tell him. You still have to send someone to keep an eye on the eldest prince."

"it is good."

The people sent out by Zheng Qiuyun caught up with Pei Yuanqi three days later.As soon as Pei Yuanqi received the news, he took it very seriously and began to guard against the people around him.

Half a month later, their group arrived in Xizhou.All I saw was yellow sand filling the sky, the ground dry, and a faded flag stuck on the vast expanse of ground.

They entered the city and found that the war was not as tense as they imagined.There are also people doing business in the city.Pedestrians walking around looked calm and did not feel nervous about the war.

Pei Yuanqi ordered to go down first, "Change the flag outside to the flag of our Yun Family Army."

The subordinate responded, "Yes."

He climbed onto the city wall and asked the former garrison general, "What is the situation now?"

"General Pei, there has been a small-scale unrest in Da'an recently. There has been no violent conflict yet. You should still wait and see."

“How many people are there in each riot?”

"Less than a thousand."

Pei Yuanqi looked far away at the scattered tents set up by the Da'an people, and said slowly: "The Holy One ordered [-] troops for me."

"Ah?" The defending general was also very surprised. "Actually, when I saw General Pei, I was very surprised. Isn't this killing a chicken with a knife?"

In the desert, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the flag fluttered in the wind.The magnificent sunset seems to sink into a long river, looking majestic and majestic.

Pei Yuanqi said calmly: "Destroy Da'an and return to the court."

Another half month later, news came from the border that Pei Yuanqi was seriously injured.

The Holy One was angry in the court, "How could he be injured! He is injured, who will guard the border?" Zheng Wu'an spoke for Pei Yuanqi, "Holy Master, General Pei is also a mortal, and he will naturally be injured. I am willing to go to the border to defend the city. "

"No, you can't leave!" When the Holy One said this, he glanced at the eldest prince, who lowered his head with an incomprehensible expression.

The Holy One asked him, "Yier, who do you think I should send to the border?"

Xiao Yi said as usual: "Father makes his own decision, and all sons and ministers will listen to father."

The Holy Emperor is also in a dilemma, and now it seems to be a dead end on the chessboard.If he doesn't send people to Xizhou, if Da'an attacks, his throne will not be guaranteed.If Zheng Wu'an is sent to Xizhou, the people left in the capital will not be enough to resist Xiao Yi's palace coup.If Xiao Yi is allowed to go to Xizhou, he is afraid of mutiny.

The Holy One thought of a plan, "Yier, if you defeat the Da'an people, I will make you the crown prince."

In the court, people's hearts are unpredictable and everyone has their own plans.

Xiao Yi pretended to be innocent, with a sparkling look in his eyes, "Father, do you really mean what you said?"

"You have no jokes."

After leaving the court, Xiao Yi's staff advised him, "The Holy Emperor just wanted to dispel the concerns of the eldest prince, and did not really want to make the eldest prince the prince. The opportunity must not be missed. While Pei Yuanqi is away, it is the right time for us to initiate palace changes."

Another aide said: "Da'an is also a vicious wolf. If a palace coup is launched at this time, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to attack. Since the Holy One has agreed to make the eldest prince the prince, we just need to wait patiently."

Xiao Yi sat at the table, took a big sip of tea, and then made up his mind: "Although Pei Yuanqi is not in the capital, Zheng Wu'an is still here, so we must find a way to take him away."

The staff came up with a plan, "It is not necessary to remove him. As long as it is proven that he is colluding with the Da'an people, the Holy Emperor will naturally not dare to use him."

At night, Xiao Yi went to the palace to see the Holy Emperor with a secret letter, "Father, I have obtained evidence of collusion between Zheng Wu'an and the Da'an people. Please take a look at it."

"We are going to Da'an. I am afraid that Zheng Wu'an has evil intentions, and I hope that my father will be more careful about this person."

The Holy Emperor took the forged letter and asked, "Where did Yi'er get this letter?"

Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged, "Father also knows that my son has always been at odds with the Zheng family and has set up several spies in Zheng Wu'an's mansion. This is what they stole for me."

Whether to believe in Zheng Wuan or Xiao Yi has become a difficult problem before the Holy Master.

For a long time, he held the secret message and said, "Someone is here, take Zheng Wu'an into prison."

The eldest prince returned with satisfaction, led his troops out of the capital, and ambush near the capital.

Two days later, the great eunuch found Xiao Yi, "The great prince, this old slave heard that the Holy Emperor has released Zheng Wu'an, and also intends to make Xuanyou the grandson of the emperor and Zheng Wenping as the young master."

Xiao Yi squeezed the knife in his hand, like a lion on the edge of rage. The anger caused by betrayal and separation made him almost lose his mind.If his staff hadn't persuaded him, he would have returned to the capital long ago.

"First Prince, we are from Wuming, you must calm down."

Another aide said: "How could it be unknown? Zheng Wu'an collaborated with the enemy and rebelled against the country, and Zheng Wenping was still young, so he bewitched the Holy Master to make him a young master. If these two people are not eliminated, I will be in great danger."

The great eunuch was extremely surprised, "I'm afraid this is not convincing."

The staff said: "The eldest prince has a strong army and horses, no one dares to comment. As long as these two people are excluded, even if the Holy Emperor does not write an edict to confer the crown prince, the eldest prince will have nothing to worry about."

"Go back to the city," the eldest prince drew out his sword, "Qingjun's side!"
