In Zhang's house, Zheng sent people away and asked the maid around her to beat her back, she had a cold these days, and the ladies of each family sent people to visit, but she didn't have to see these people, only the concubine Xiao of the British Mansion Zhang Xuan boarded her door and insisted on seeing her.

Zheng was not feeling well and had to meet the guests, but Xiao Shi talked to her for less than half an hour, and he didn't say anything important, and left. Zheng also knows the Xiao family, although she is a concubine, but she is also from a big family, she is a fine person, and she is the most familiar with words and feelings, how can she do such an inconsiderate thing, come to see her when she knows that she is sick and doesn't want to see guests, and she doesn't have anything to say when she sees it, just talk about it and leave?

She had just taken a sip of ginger soup when she heard the maid next to her "oops", and she was very surprised.

It turned out that among the gifts brought by the Xiao family, there was a box of cat's eyes, the largest one was the size of a dragon's eye, round and full, crystal washing, and a short layer of light appeared on the bead surface, the color was bright and dark, like the eyes of the Siamese cat that Zheng had seen in the palace cat room.

Rao is Zheng has seen many good things, and he can't help but "tsk" twice, picked up the cat in the box and looked at it, and said: "This thing has a big fingernail, and it is worth 100 gold." In the silver building, I originally planned to make a few cat's eye heads, but the second brother said that this cat's eye rough stone is not easy to find, only Ceylon is local, I think I can't make it up, so it's just. ”

However, Zhang Sheng's concubine had a cat's eye ring on her hand, and Zheng didn't know when she saw it, this concubine just gave birth to a son, and Zhang Sheng just looked at this and let her enter the door. But the cat's eye ring she saw was no match for any of the boxes in it.

"Such a valuable gift," Zheng said: "Naturally, it won't be something that Xiao can afford, most of it is Zhang Hui, or the old lady's meaning, Zhang Hui asked our mother to arrest it, only said that it was roaring and disrespectful, and the details are not clear, but seeing that this noble has gone back, only one Zhang Hui is circled, and it is also problematic to think about it." ”

"Is the lady going into the palace?" asked the maid.

"This is not the time for us women to mix things up. Zheng is a knowledgeable person: "In order to be greedy for this box of cat's eyes, what I put in is not something I can bear." ”

She said that she wanted to put the cat eye back in her hand, and when she glanced at it, she was taught to see something unusual.

"Am I mistaken," she said, picking up the largest gem in the box, looking at the light source for a moment, and pointing to a hair-thin black line in it, "Is there a crack?"

She felt that it was unlikely that the Zhang family would fool her with such a defective product, and sure enough, when she gently twisted along the crack, the cat's eye was divided into two, and a small white wax pill appeared in it.

This letter was finally in Wang Du's hands, he read it carefully, and pondered for a while before saying: "Zhang Xuan said that Ying Yangwei commanded Meng Xian to plan a mutiny and incite the Beijing camp to besiege the department. ”

"Who is Meng Xian?" Zhang Chang had never seen this person, and he blamed him for not asking about the world although he was in the Jinyi Guard's yamen.

"It doesn't matter who he is now," Wang Du said, "but who he is." I think Zhang Wei has made it very clear, he is really a gambler, and he is all pressed on one bet, but I have to say that he is right to speculate. ”

Wang Du and Zhang Chang were both a little surprised by Zhang Hui's surrender gift, and Wang Du thought that Zhang Hui's identification should be based on solid evidence.

"King Zhao Gao Sui is always restless," Wang Du said: "Interesting, King Han has always been calm, allowing the third child to jump up and down." ”

"That's not because they are two brothers, they are one," Zhang Chang shook his head and sighed: "King Han got a group of noble generals, and King Zhao recruited a group of middle and lower officers, and these two generals have all wrapped up the military attachés." ”

Although Zhang Chang is a good farmer, after Wang Du's cultivation in the past few years, he also understands the situation between the DPRK and China, but in Wang Du's opinion, this guy is still an uncontrollable elm head.

"If they were one," Wang Du said, "there would be no mutiny this time." ”

In a short period of time, these two people may be in the same camp, that is, to bring down the prince's camp, but there is only one crown prince, and King Zhao, a restless careerist, can watch the king of Han sit on it? When the king of Han becomes the crown prince, the king of Zhao may never have a chance again. In all dynasties, there has not been a story of the abolition of the prince twice.

King Zhao knew very well that any of his two elder brothers, any of them had more power than what he had now, and he could only use the power to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. The method of fighting between the snipe and the clam has actually been very useful, such as this mutiny, the prince eats the crime, and the prince wants to save the sacred heart, it is very likely to deal with Xungui with an iron fist, and Xungui is precisely the person of the King of Han, and it has created the impression of a brotherly wall to the emperor, I have to say that King Zhao is indeed a conspirator hiding in the dark, and his conspiracy is not on the table, and he actually asked a smart person like Zhang Xuan to find clues.

"Then what to do now," Zhang Chang said: "We have to arrest this Meng Xian and get rid of it!"

"What is the reason?" Wang Du said: "The rebellion has been quelled, and the first evil coercion has been executed, and at this time, the people's hearts have just calmed down a little, and there is no reason to arrest a Jingwei commander, won't Jingwei be shaken? Even if this person is arrested and confesses to King Zhao, will the emperor believe it? The prince does not have the right to kill the commander of the Beijing guards and horses at will. ”

"Besides, if we kill him, King Zhao will have a new henchman, but we don't know," Wang Du said: "It's better to keep this one and make an overall situation in the future." ”

When Beijing was on the line, Hu Guang and Yang Rongtou, the cabinet scholars who accompanied them, got together and took a closer look at the newly arrived Song Shuzai in Nanjing.

"It's chaos," Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally let go of my heart." ”

As he spoke, he nodded and said, "I think this method is very safe, and the emperor can have an explanation." ”

Hu Guang was really much more relaxed, and when the news of the mutiny came before, the emperor was angry and anxious, and in front of them, he didn't know how many times he said the prince's incompetent, and even proposed that he wanted the Han King Gao Xu to return to Nanjing to deal with the rebellion - of course, the three of them were stopped.

When they came to Beijing, they were very sure that at the critical juncture of the Northern Expedition, it was impossible for the emperor to deal with the nobles, and they had long figured out that this scene must be carried by civil officials, although this is a very helpless thing, but if they can sacrifice some people and stabilize the position of the prince, they are willing.

However, Yang Rong narrowed his eyes and said: "A dead Huang Guoguang can almost take full responsibility, and this person was beaten to death by beating a stick with his hands, this is a household servant, an official of the third grade, where is the face?

Hu Guang said: "What you said is right, but everyone is dead, what else?"

"Everything is fine in this movement," Yang Rong wrote lightly, "only in the way these two people died, in fact, it can be changed." For example, after being beaten with sticks by the indiscriminate soldiers, the two attendants were not humiliated and committed suicide. ”

"Kill him and change it into suicide?" Hu Guang's eyes widened, this kind of death is with fortitude and integrity, the two servants who are not humiliated can naturally get the sympathy of public opinion, even if they bear the responsibility, the emperor is willing to give a lenient treatment, and their families, finally do not have to lose face, will undoubtedly alleviate the blame from all sides.

Hu Guang couldn't help but sigh secretly, but in the face of Song Shu, he said: "It's a pity that it can't be changed anymore." ”
