Chapter 264: There Are Spies Again
Yuwen Yi saw that Ma Mingrui was obviously moved by his words, and his heart was slightly comforted.
After all, he is still young and inexperienced, and what he is about to do is too important, and it is impossible not to be nervous.
There are a lot of people around, but there are few people who can really open their hearts and say what is in their hearts.
It's rare to meet Ma Mingrui, who is quite talented and the same age as himself, and can basically be trusted, if it weren't for the emergency, he really wanted to have a good chat with him.
He thought for a while and said: "Don't hide it from Cousin Mingrui, in addition to Yuwenhao and Yuwendi, Empress Pei also made it clear in front of her mother that she was willing to support this king, but her words are also not credible. ”
Ma Mingrui has never seen Concubine Ma Xian a few times, and his impression of her is only limited to the bright and moving side concubine Ma Shi in the Jin Palace, Suzhou.
Although he has heard his adoptive father and adoptive mother say many times how smart and capable this "aunt" is, in view of Ma Mingyu's "Zhuyu" in front, he does not dare to have too many illusions about Concubine Ma Xian's mind.
So he agreed with Yu Wenyi's words very much, and it was almost certain that Concubine Ma Xian was coaxed by Empress Pei.
The second prince is said to be disgusted, but the Pei family is powerful, and the second prince has the Gu family behind him, and even the support of the Yuan family and the Huo family.
Why is it necessary for Queen Pei to lower her body to coax Concubine Ma Xian?
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Wang, what is the purpose of Empress Pei's use of Concubine Xian?"
Yu Wenyi smiled lightly: "Cousin Mingrui doesn't know that Queen Pei and Princess Huo Xiao are not in harmony. ”
Ma Mingrui has naturally heard of such rumors, but he has never believed them.
The aunts and nieces of the in-laws, even if they have some disagreements on weekdays, will definitely abandon their previous suspicions and work together in the face of major rights and wrongs.
Especially when it comes to the throne, even if Princess Huo doesn't pull the Huo family into the second prince's boat, she shouldn't stumble on him.
Yu Wenyi said: "This king has also inquired in many ways, but has never found out the reason for the disagreement between the two, the only thing that is certain is that the two have been discordant for a long time and irreconcilable, compared to the second emperor brother, Princess Huo Xiao seems to be more willing to support the fourth emperor brother." ”
Ma Mingrui said: "With all due respect, I have also seen His Royal Highness King Yi, he looks like that...... Neither Prince Huo nor Princess Huo is a fool......"
Yu Wenyi said disapprerovitically: "Cousin Mingrui, the Huo family's 500,000 iron cavalry is really too eye-catching, and the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all in love with each other, not only relying on them to defend the territory, but also preventing them from being disobedient."
The same is true for the Huo family, the military power is like a sharp sword, if you can kill others, you can also hurt yourself, for the sake of long-term wealth and stability, it is better to support a puppet, among the many princes, the fourth emperor brother is undoubtedly the best choice. ”
Ma Mingrui disagreed, after all, he had been under General Huo for many years, and the Huo family did not have that kind of mind or feeling.
He pursed his lips and said, "If the Huo family really has that kind of ambition, wouldn't it be cheaper to support those young princes?"
Yu Wenyi patted him on the shoulder: "This is their cunning, when it comes to favor, those little emperor brothers are far worse than the fourth emperor brothers, although it is easier to control them to support them on the throne, it is inevitable that they will be questioned." ”
Ma Mingrui couldn't argue anymore, so he had to say: "Lord Wang, this time the little prince left Beijing, do you know where he went?"
Yu Wenyi was puzzled: "What does Cousin Mingrui mean by this?"
Ma Mingrui said: "The prince is honest, and he will no longer hide it, Huo Xiao Wang Ye has my people by his side, but in order to avoid exposure, he rarely takes the initiative to contact me, but this time the matter is urgent, it is said that there should be news from his side, but until now there is no news at all." ”
Yu Wenyi was taken aback: "What, you can actually install someone next to Huo Xiao!"
If it weren't for the fact that Ma Mingrui was not a person who liked to brag and talk big, Yu Wenyi would almost open his mouth to say that the other party was lying!
Ma Mingrui didn't have a smug demeanor, and said: "Anyway, there is no news from Huo Xiaowangye's side, and my heart is always uneasy, for fear that he will suddenly come out and ruin our affairs." ”
Yu Wenyi didn't think there was anything, and he was a little hairy when Ma Mingrui said this.
Huo Xiao's martial arts and power have always been beyond the reach of these princes, and his style of acting has always been unpredictable, Ma Mingrui's words are not groundless.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Huo Xiao is powerful, but he is not invulnerable, Yuanyuan is his weakness, let's just do nothing, with Yuanyuan in hand, even if Huo Xiao has the ability to fly away, he will only be used by us." ”
Ma Mingrui's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
Of course, this is the truth, not to mention that Yuanyuan itself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, since Huo Xiao attaches so much importance to her, how can he not make careful arrangements, it is more difficult to move her than to ascend to the sky.
Yu Wenyi just wanted to say a few more words, but he heard the voice of the little servant talking back from outside the door: "Lord Wang, Commander Zhao asks to see you." ”
He raised his voice and said, "Please lead Zhao in." ”
Commander Zhao is the commander of Yu Wenyi's guards, and he is specifically responsible for finding out the news.
He walked into the study and knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates see the prince and General Ma." ”
Yu Wenyi said: "Commander Zhao, please get up, what's the new news?"
Commander Zhao stood up and said, "Back to the prince, I just got two pieces of news from below. First, His Majesty's last fainting had lasted for three hours, and there was still no sign of waking up. Second, early this morning, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division sent all the manpower to search the capital, which made people panic, and our industry was also affected somewhat. ”
Knowing that his father had fallen into a deep coma, Yu Wenyi's heart tingled, but he was soon suppressed by the feeling that the power was about to be in his hands.
He furrowed his brows and said, "Why did the Five Cities Terracotta Division suddenly make such a big move?"
Commander Zhao carefully explained the things in the four directions of the southeast, the northwest, and the north.
Yu Wenyi's brows tightened even tighter, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is now under the command of Feng Ji for the time being, but Feng Ji himself is Huo Xiao's person, which shows that this operation was originally Huo Xiao's meaning.
But Huo Xiao has obviously left the capital for a month, is he commanding in the dark, or is this matter Yuan Yuan's meaning, or is it ......
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, if it was really his father's plan, then what a big game it should be.
Is he going to gamble, or is he going to endure it for the rest of his life......
Ma Mingrui said: "Lord Wang, I think it's not a bad thing for the capital to make trouble at this time, but now there are so many people staring at that position, they all want to move but don't dare to move, this chaos, we can get involved without a trace." ”
Yu Wenyi said to Na Zhao: "Go and inquire about the news again, and send a few capable people to keep an eye on the Dingbei Palace, mainly to keep an eye on the movements of Princess Huo Xiao." ”
"Yes, my lord. Commander Zhao hugged his fists and retreated.
