118: Who is the secret pass to Sijon?
"What does he want?" Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, obviously sensing that Cao Qianyue had something to say, "What does Your Majesty want to get from the prince?" ”
Cao Qianyue's eyes swept over Rong Jiang, and then moved away, shaking his head with a smile: "Your Highness still doesn't know." He lost a sentence and muttered, "Sooner or later, you have to know." ”
Zhao Liang naturally saw his glance, and his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be related to the Rong family?
He didn't dare to ask more, but Rong Jiang didn't pay attention to Cao Qianyue's eyes, and leaned forward: "But does the prince really want to fight all the way back to the capital?" Even if I do call you back, what's next? What does the prince want to do," she felt that she was still not used to being so intimate in front of people, so she stayed away from Zhao Liang again, "Is it really sitting on the country by herself?" ”
Cao Qianyue was stunned, and suddenly laughed out loud, and only after a long time did he raise his hand and point at Rong Jiang through the void: "Girl, for the sake of Daye Jiangshan, you can also be regarded as heartbroken." After so many years of crusade and western, how many days will you have a peaceful birthday? ”
His words choked Rong Jiang, but he didn't plan to stop it, and continued: "I'm afraid that one day, you will regret not being at the beginning!" ”
Rong Jiang just wanted to ask him what he meant by this, but Zhao Liang had already pressed Rong Jiang's hand, and reprimanded Cao Qianyue with a cold face: "The prince is cautious." ”
Cao Qianyue narrowed his eyes into a slit, glanced at Zhao Liang, and snorted coldly without saying any more.
Zhao Liang grabbed Rong Jiang: "You go out first, I'll talk to him." ”
Rong Jiang turned his face to him and asked unceremoniously, "Do you want to break me up?" ”
Zhao Qi smiled and whispered to her with persuasion: "Even if I want to get rid of you, then can you leave?" As he spoke, he pouted at Cao Qianyue again.
Rong Jiang almost blurted out a "don't go", and when she turned her face to look at Cao Qianyue, she had a plan in her heart, she felt that since Zhao Liang supported her, he must have his reason, so he reluctantly got up, and did not say goodbye, and retreated directly.
As soon as she left, Zhao Liang's smile immediately rose, and he asked with a gloomy face: "What His Majesty wants to get from you, is it related to the Rong family?" ”
Cao Qianyue was not surprised, and only raised the corners of his mouth: "No strange person says that the King of England is wise, just a few words from me can see through the inner entanglement." ”
"Rong Rong may not be unable to see through, it's just that she has little experience and is not familiar with the Son of Heaven, so she won't think about it for a while." Zhao Liang didn't react when he heard his praise, and continued in a flat tone, "Anyway, what do you have in your hands, or what secrets you have pinched." ”
Cao Qianyue avoided mentioning it, and Zhao Liang was not in a hurry to ask him, so he was silent.
After about half a cup of tea, Cao Qianyue sighed, a little self-deprecating, and a little unfair: "Cao Bin was exiled, he was to blame, but King Shen is innocent, and the queen is innocent." Does Your Highness think I want to be a soldier? When I withdrew, I was at the age of prosperity, when all fame and fortune were abandoned, and now in the twilight of life, why should I come? ”
Zhao Liang nodded, which was in response to his words.
Cao Qianyue sighed: "Your Highness should not have forgotten that when Tai'an was first established in the third year of Chenglin, he once said something like 'the Son of Heaven is not virtuous', right?" Sure enough, Zhao Qi squinted, and he paused for a moment and said, "Cheng Lin, he was stubborn when he was young, and he relied on the queen's doting, and he dared to make trouble even in Qingfeng Palace." When I was ten years old, I found a secret grid in the Qingfeng Palace, and your highness guessed what was hidden in that dark grid? ”
Zhao Liang's hand resting on the table unconsciously clenched into a fist, and he vaguely felt that what Cao Qianyue was going to sue him next was a great thing, and it was something he would never want to see.
But he couldn't do anything, he could only listen to Cao Qianyue continue: "That's the correspondence between His Majesty and Xirong Yelu Minglan, he is the Son of Heaven, but he is also the one who can collaborate with the enemy in this court!" ”
With a "snap", Zhao Liang slapped his palm on the table, he only felt that the bones and blood around him were cold, and a ball of anger was clustered in his chest, glaring at Cao Qianyue: "You have no evidence"
"I dare say, naturally there is a credential!" Cao Qianyue raised his voice to interrupt him, "Didn't Your Highness ask me what he wanted from me?" He stood up suddenly, stepped to the middle, and stared at Zhao Liang without retreating, "In April of the first year of Tai'an, Guning Hou Rongzhen was ordered to lead 100,000 troops to fight in Xirong, and then I received a secret decree to inform the surrounding state capitals of Jiangbei that no reinforcements were allowed, no food was allowed, and Rong Zhen was left alone when he was under siege, and died in battle!" He heard Zhao Liang gasp, snorted and squeezed out a hum, "You ask me what I have in my hand?" I have the secret edict he gave me back then! Also, Rong Zhen is proficient in the art of war, if he hadn't informed Yelu Mingzhou of the deployment of troops in the general, she would have been besieged to death? Rong Yu was suspicious back then, and when he received the news of Rong Zhen's death, he asked Ying to go on the expedition, but Zhao Heng was weak-hearted! He didn't dare to let Rong Yu go to Jiangbei! ”
"Bastard!" Zhao Ju was furious, and he shot the case, but he didn't know who he was reprimanding, his back tightened with a cold face, and he looked at Cao Qianyue with some gritted teeth, "If what you said is true, let me ask you, why did the iron-clad General Cao do such a conscientious thing for him!" Do you know who you want to trap and who you are? ”
Cao Qianyue's face turned pale for a moment, and he sneered: "My daughter is the queen, I can't help him." He has sent me a secret decree, can I refuse? If I hadn't helped him get rid of Rong Zhen back then, I would have died first! He felt very funny, and it was not worth it for Queen Cao, "Yuan Yuan has been guarding for so many years, but after he ascended the throne, he was the first to calculate me and test me, is there a way for me to retreat?" ”
"So you have a clear conscience and frame Rong Zhen?" Zhao Qi laughed angrily and sighed, "Cao Bin really looks like you." Eight years ago, you framed Rong Zhen and took her life, and eight years later, he framed Rong Min in Yecheng and almost let him die unjustly. ”
Cao Qianyue didn't hear it, as if he was forced by the cold around Zhao Liang, and took two steps back: "When Chenglin was abolished, I already regretted not being at the beginning. When he was eleven years old, I went back to Beijing to see him, and he told me about it, and I even threatened and coaxed him to treat him as if he didn't know, thinking that he would be safe forever."
"But you never thought that his drunken mistake would reveal the words buried in his heart, and with the wisdom of His Majesty, he didn't need to investigate carefully to understand that he had discovered the secrets in the Qingfeng Palace" At this point, Zhao Liang was also stunned, and it took a long time to find his voice, "He killed King Shen for this?" ”
"Whether he wants Cheng Lin to die, but the matter of deposing is definitely in his calculations." Cao Qianyue thought of the death of his daughter and grandson, and his eyes were full of pain, "I didn't raise troops to take over the country, but I was desperate, and I wanted to pull him off the throne if I didn't want to do it!" ”
This matter was unacceptable to Zhao Liang for a while, he had thought that Rong Zhen's death was inseparable from Zhao Heng, but he never dared to think that Zhao Heng had secretly communicated with Xirong, and had not cut off contact with Yelu Minglan for so many years, and even killed Zhao Yan and the queen for this.
Zhao Liang inhaled heavily, unable to calm down: "You sue me about this, if you have anything to say, just say it." The joints were faintly white, which showed how much concentration he used to hold on to his calmness.
Cao Qianyue pursed his lips, and the hem of his robe was lifted by him with one hand, and he knelt down at Zhao Liang: "Gather the troops of Yunzhou, Daizhou, and Jiangbei, and attack Yecheng, I am willing to serve His Highness's throne, and after His Highness ascends the throne, I will present the secret edict with both hands, Zhao Heng is not virtuous to the enemy, and it is good for Daye to overthrow him in accordance with the will of heaven!"
