Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 48 Undercurrents surging beneath the quiet palace (please follow up)

The next morning, at the gate of the West Palace, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang stuck their heads out to take a look at the An Jingjing Palace, and looked at each other again, feeling baffled.

They returned to the palace last night and went straight to the West Palace where Queen He lived. They knelt down and cried to express their loyalty.

Of course, they did not dare to speak openly about Wang Yue's affairs. They secretly worked for the emperor but failed, and they were too embarrassed to tell them.

He just cried and complained that he heard that Jian Shuo was going to attack the two of them, so he asked the queen to give her protection for the sake of her old service.

After saying that, he also presented several treasures that women loved, and Queen He was immediately overjoyed.

Although He Jin wanted to destroy the ten permanent servants, Queen He was still good to Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang. In order to stabilize Queen He's position in the palace, the He family also tried their best to win over the ten permanent servants. Even Queen He's sister even Married to Zhang Rang's nephew.

Therefore, Queen He's heart softened when she saw two gray-haired old men kneeling down and crying. What's more, they were trying to avoid Jian Shuo's pursuit. As the He family who was battling Jian Shuo in the palace, In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Queen He readily agreed to allow them to spend the night in the West Palace for refuge.

In fact, in this moment of crisis, Queen He also wants to win over a group of people. Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, who are the targets of Jian Shuo's suppression, still have a lot of authority in their hands, so they are the best choices for her to win over. .

Queen He also wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of action Jian Shuo was going to take and how intense it would be.

If Jian Shuo couldn't help but jump out first, a flaw would inevitably be exposed, but it would give the He family a chance to take action.

But how can Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang sleep peacefully? The analysis and research lasted until midnight, and they got up early in the morning, but to their surprise, everything was as usual!
  "Why didn't the thief take action?" Zhang Rang asked in confusion.

"Didn't Wang Yue betray us?" Zhao Zhong also looked puzzled.

Zhang Rang: "Perhaps there is some bigger conspiracy brewing, and we have to guard against it! Well, do you want to report this matter to His Majesty?"

Zhao Zhong: "What are you reporting? Your Majesty's clever plan, Wang Yue has indeed changed. He has now surrendered to the thieves! Do you think your Majesty will still pay attention to us with his current temperament? Besides getting a scolding, what else can we get?"

"Yes." Zhang Rang also scratched his head, "Your Majesty is no longer what he used to be. Besides, at this critical moment, it is obviously unrealistic for His Majesty to confront Jian Shuo. Or should we ask the general?"

"Go to the General's Mansion? Before the thief could die, we were killed by that reckless man of the General." Zhao Zhong was also a little helpless, but he didn't know what to do for the moment. "The current plan is to first Gather our cronies in the palace to prepare for the unexpected."

At this moment, I saw a person walking in hastily, tall and slender.

Zhao Zhong's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Maybe we can ask him for help."

Zhang Rang took a look and saw that the person coming was none other than Queen He's half-brother, the chariot general He Miao.

They usually gave a lot of tribute and property to He Miao, Queen He, and even their mother Wuyang Jun, so in comparison, they were much closer to them than to He Jin.

"Good morning, General." Zhao Zhong went up to greet him with a smile and said, "I wonder if the General has any faults. Do you need my help?"

Zhang Rang also went up to say hello with a smile on his face.

He Miao was startled, wondering why these two people suddenly lowered their posture so low and walked out of the Queen's sister's palace so early in the morning.

"Why are you two adults here?" He Miao asked in confusion.

"Alas!" Zhao Zhong sighed, "We are being persecuted, so we can only take shelter at the Queen's place temporarily. Please ask General Nian to come to our rescue out of past friendship!"

Saying that, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang were about to kneel down to He Miao.

How could He Miao dare to accept their kneeling? He hurriedly held his hands and said doubtfully: "He really can't think of anyone in the world who has eaten the heart of a bear and swallowed the courage of a leopard, and actually dared to persecute two adults? You might as well say it straight, He will never refuse if he can help." "The general must also know that Jian Shuo harmed Feng Xu and Guo Sheng out of thin air some time ago, and we knew that sooner or later he would attack us two old men." Zhao Zhonglu also felt sad. Color, choked up, "As expected, recently we heard that the bandit wanted to kill the two of us, and we asked the general to rescue him!"

"Jian Shuo? This..." He Miao couldn't help but hesitate when he heard it was Jian Shuo.

He didn't want to offend any of the ten permanent servants. On the contrary, he wanted to continue to use the power of the ten permanent servants to climb higher.

This was also one of the main reasons why he strongly opposed He Jin's execution of Jian Shuo. Of course, it was also related to the fact that he had received a lot of money from the ten permanent servants.

In fact, when he entered the palace this time, he wanted the queen's sister to persuade He Jin to reconcile with Jian Shuo and not to go against the most popular powerful official in the dynasty.

But now Shi Changshi had started an internal strife, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.

"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jian Shuo's killing of Guo Sheng was the beginning of cutting off the He family's cronies in the palace." Seeing He Miao's hesitation, Zhang Rang fanned the flames beside him, "While attacking us, he also Attacked the general and his family."

He Miao shook his head, his attitude was firm, he was extremely convinced that his judgment was correct, and said: "I'm sorry, He doesn't want to be an enemy of any of the ten permanent servants. If the two adults have other matters, If He serves, He will do his best.”

Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong with a disappointed look in his eyes.

Zhao Zhong smiled slightly, lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "I heard that the general wants to get rid of the thieves, I wonder if I need to help..."

"How did you know?" He Miao's face changed drastically and he asked hurriedly.

Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong in surprise. Zhao Zhong smiled and said nothing, but put on airs.

Seeing that Zhao Zhong didn't answer, He Miao hurried towards the palace gate, stopped after two steps and said, "Jian Shuo may not have time to deal with you."

After saying that, he walked straight across the threshold and went inside to find Queen He.

Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong and asked in confusion: "How did brother know that He Jin wanted to get rid of the thieves?"

"I guessed it." Zhao Zhong smiled, "But now I can be sure."

Zhang Rang still didn't understand, and said: "Please clarify my doubts!"

"After Guo Sheng died, in order to protect ourselves, we immediately came to the queen and told the queen that the Jian thieves killed Guo Sheng to attack the He family, with the intention of causing He Jin and Jian Shuo to fight so that both sides would lose, and we would benefit from it."

Zhao Zhong explained, "The queen will definitely convey our words to He Jin. In response to our detailed reports in the General's Mansion recently, He Jin often invites the ministers and his confidants to discuss matters. Although we don't know what they are discussing, we can infer that, At this juncture, it is very likely that they are discussing how to deal with the thieves."

"Oh." Zhang Rang suddenly realized, "Just now He Miao blurted out and asked: How did you know, which just confirmed his brother's inference. He Jin was indeed conspiring to deal with the thieves, but it has been so long, and they are still Didn't we discuss a countermeasure? What a bunch of rubbish."

"There may be results soon." Zhao Zhong said with a smile on his face, "He Miao said that Jian Shuo can't find time to deal with us, which means that he will be in trouble soon."

"Then I will quickly gather my strength to cope with the unexpected." Zhang Rang said happily.
