On April 30, Zhao Heng issued a decree in the palace, and the king of England was the governor of Jiangbei, in charge of the Jiangbei corruption case, and promoted Jiangbei to respond to important military and political affairs, and the prince assisted from the side, and the decree was issued by Zhongshu Province, and the officials of Jiangbei prefectures and counties needed to cooperate according to the decree.

As soon as this will came out, the prince standing in the palace looked a little embarrassed, but Rong Jiang just put his head down, and secretly said that King Ying's trip to Jiangbei was inappropriate.

Originally, the edict to the crown prince was to ask him to take charge of this case, but when the decree was issued, it became the king of England to take charge of the case, and the prince co-organized, so that once this time was lost, the king of England would definitely bear the brunt.

But although he was not very happy, Zhao Yan did not forget what Rong Yuan specially told him, and immediately stepped down to the palace and knelt down to ask Guning Hou Rongjiang to accompany him.

Zhao Heng frowned, but before he could open his mouth to refute him, Rong Jiang had already stood up in the column. She still lowered her head, just cast her eyes to Zhao Liang to look at her, and sure enough, she saw Zhao Liang looking at her, she didn't think much about it, and said to the last one: "Although the minister is often in Jiangbei, he only knows how to march and fight. Instead of letting the minister follow him to Jiangbei to add chaos, it is better to let the minister be a rich and noble marquis in the capital. ”

Zhao Liang didn't seem to think about it, but opened his mouth to help Rong Jiang continue, all of which were words that didn't have to make her go with her. Zhao Heng's expression was a little gloomy at this time, and he told him some side things, but he only responded one by one, and said that he would not live up to His Majesty's entrustment, until he returned home.

The two of them set off in the afternoon, when Zheng Yong sent the Son of Heaven out of the city, and there were three hundred Son of Heaven guards escorted him all the way, and when they got out of the city gate, Zhao Liang arched his hand and Zheng Yong and said: "The elder does not need to send it again." ”

Even Zhao Yan on the side smiled and was polite to Zheng Yong, but Zheng Yong just smiled and sent Zhao Yan into the carriage, and then quietly pulled Zhao Yan.

Even though Zhao Liang knew that he had something to say, he signaled the team to stop marching, and followed Zheng Yong's steps to a place where no one was around, before he was about to ask, so he heard him explain in a low voice: "When I came, Gong Qian specially explained, I must say that I know with His Royal Highness," he paused slightly, and stretched out his hand to the direction of the prince's carriage with the person behind his back, "The prince is young, and he has not experienced anything very important. ”

"I didn't expect the prince to succeed," he smiled, put his hand on Zheng Yong's hand, and motioned him not to point to the prince's carriage, "Gong Qian doesn't have to worry about me." His Majesty appointed me as the governor this time, and I know the deep meaning. ”

"It's not just that I'm worried about His Highness—" Zheng Yong interrupted him, "Taifu Zhou should have already told you, if something happens, please send a document back to Beijing immediately." Seeing Zhao Liang nodding yes, Zheng Yong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to him seriously, "Gong Qian asked me to tell His Highness - if there is anything, I must immediately send a document back to Beijing, and ask His Majesty to send the Marquis of Gu Ning to Jiangbei immediately, and this document, His Royal Highness needs to find a reliable and credible person, personally send it back to the capital, and hand it over to me. ”

Rao is Zhao Liang is used to speculating on people's hearts, and he would never have imagined that Zheng Yong, Qian Zhi and others would have such an idea, and they were afraid that Zhao Heng would poison him-he thought so, took two steps back, and looked at Zheng Yong with a straight face: "Why are you so afraid," he couldn't help but look at the prince's side as he spoke, and suppressed his voice, "There is still the prince with him in this trip." ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if. I and Gong Qian are not good people, Your Highness should know," and bowed to Zhao Ju very respectfully, "Your Highness has a noble status, and now he is staying in Yecheng and holding the Zongren Mansion, it is better to be careful this time to promote the military and political affairs of Jiangbei." Your Majesty—" He sighed as he spoke, as if he was unconsciously talking about the monarch, "in the end, it is still intolerable." ”

Zhao Liang's heart was moved for a while, and he was surprised for a while. Since Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he grew up in Yunzhou, and the most contacts with the capital are only Zhou Youshen and a few people who have friends with him in the old days, and even those old departments of him in the past, he rarely sends people around, let alone big giants like Zheng Yong and Qian Zhi. But today, the two of them can put themselves in his shoes like this, afraid that he will be in danger, and even think about the way back.

Suddenly remembered the words of Shang Rong Jiang today to shirk the prince's invitation, and after thinking about it, it is better to stay in the capital, it is indeed not like what she would say. As soon as he contacted today's events, Zhao Liang immediately understood, but he was afraid that the prince's invitation was done by Qian Zhi to Rong Yuan, and Rong Jiang shirked it was also taught by him, just that if something really happened in the future, Rong Jiang could go out of Beijing to Jiangbei and help him, the imperial uncle.

Because he felt that Zheng Qian and the others had good intentions, he immediately took three steps back, bowed down and put his hands together to face Zheng Yong, and thanked him for a big bow. The two whispered in secret again, until Zhao Yan couldn't help but send someone to urge him to leave, and then they broke up and said goodbye.

Zheng Yong said goodbye to Zhao Liang and his party, turned around to get into the sedan chair, but suddenly a white hand reached out from the side to stop him, and as soon as he turned around to look, his expression immediately calmed down.

Rong Jiang bowed, looked into the distance outside the city, and then said leisurely: "Grandfather asked me to send off the King and the Crown Prince, I think he should have intended to make me friends with the King of England, of course-" She was slightly sluggish, and when she turned her head, she was already smiling, quite childish, "Since the King returned to Beijing, he has indeed been showing goodwill to the Rong family." ”

Zheng Yong hummed noncommittally, and was about to ask her why she didn't show up, but she continued: "But I don't know why, I always think that it is better for the king of England not to have secret contacts." ”

"Are you afraid that Your Majesty will be suspicious in the future?" Zheng Yong simply sent the sedan chair man, and walked into the city with Rong Jiang and the others, and when he heard her say this, he paused and turned around slightly to look at Rong Jiang who was following him.

"Maybe," Rong Jiang shook his head with a smile, took two steps forward and walked side by side with Zheng Yong, tilting his head and asking her, "Grandfather Zheng, don't you think that grandfather didn't think it through this time?" Actually, I don't think too clearly, why together with my grandfather, I don't reject the British king," as if she had really been troubled by this question for a long time, she looked up at the sky and continued, "Since my grandfather said that the British king came back to Beijing for the Bao Rong family, shouldn't we avoid suspicion." ”

Seeing her like this, Zheng Yong reached out and patted her on the shoulder: "Since you can't avoid it, why don't you catch up?" ”

He only had ten words, and Rong Jiang understood what he meant. According to him, the king of England has made his position clear, so no matter how much the Rong family avoids him, Zhao Heng will not believe it in his heart, it is better to have a frank fellowship with him, which is what a gentleman does.

It's just that having said that, she still couldn't help but ask: "If you blindly meet it, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Siniang-" Zheng Yong sighed and called her lightly, it seemed that the clouds were light and light, but the words that could be said made Rong Jiang's heart frightened, and he had to re-examine the weight of Zhao Liang, the imperial uncle, "If Daye loses the British king, the country will not be a country." ”
