Zhang Yu not only didn't know King Yan, but also had a limited understanding of Xie Gui.

He and Xie Gui were temporary partners, and he couldn't expect them to work together so tacitly.

"Well, from the people closest to him, I can get insight into King Yan's past thoughts, wonderful! Tomorrow, we will enter the Yanwang Mansion mainly to find out the reactions of the people around him, and the others are all pretenses! ”

Xie Gui comprehended without the slightest deviation, and he was in high spirits because of his quick thinking.

"Then tomorrow I will be responsible for asking questions, Lord Zhang will come to observe the people next to him, Lord Zhang is more careful than me, and he should be able to see more famous people."

"Good!" Zhang Yu smiled, and the communication with Xie Gui was much simpler than he imagined.

"Lord Xie, you carefully observe the changes in King Yan tomorrow, listen to him more, and brake quietly. Occasionally, you can slightly refute his words to probe his true intentions, and maybe he will show a little bit of a horse's feet. No matter how much he closes off his true self, as long as you are good at spying, you can gain something to some extent. The harmony of yin and yang is the beginning of its righteousness. ”

"Whew!" Xie Gui let out a sigh of relief and stood up.

A trip to King Yan's Mansion was more difficult for him than to break into thousands of troops. If he didn't come to Zhang Yu tonight, he didn't know that there were so many doorways.

"Master Zhang, in the future, we must move around often and understand each other in order to deal with the enemy together. Leave! ”

King Yan pretends to be crazy and stupid day after day, and his skills are perfect, but he doesn't expect a real audience.

They didn't expect the newly appointed political envoy and the commander of the capital to be so calm.

When the guards informed them of the arrival of their long-awaited guest, Zhu Di rubbed his hands, and Hongshi and Dao Yan were eager to try.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Welcome, Welcome! Please come and sit in the house! ”

Dao Yan's face was full of wrinkles, and he took out twelve points of enthusiasm to invite Zhang Yu and Xie Gui into the palace.

"What do you call Your Excellency?" Xie Gui asked.

They had heard that King Yan was followed by a monk and a general, but they didn't know their names, their appearances, and their abilities.

"Poor monk Daoyan, this is the ancient general." Dao Yan pointed to the red stone.

"Master Daoyan, General Gu, when Xia Guan first arrived here, he was very unfamiliar with the affairs of Beiping, so he was busy with official affairs and had not been able to visit King Yan's Mansion, which was really not polite. I made amends to both of you here! ”

Xie Gui and Zhang Yu hugged their fists and apologized.

"Where are these words? If you want to say that the etiquette is not good, Yan Wangfu is also to blame. Yan Wang ......"

Dao Yan's smiling face disappeared immediately, and gloomy dark clouds lingered on his face.

"King Yan is sick, so I haven't invited the two adults to come to the mansion to talk."

Xie Gui and Zhang Yu were shocked.

Xie Gui always kept in mind his duty to be in charge of the conversation: "King Yan is sick? How is the body now? Is it better? ”

Zhang Yu silently observed Dao Yan and Hongshi.

"Alas! It hasn't been getting better...... Dao Yan's eyes were dilated, and he didn't even seem to have the strength to shake his head.

"Have you seen it with the Imperial Doctor? The emperor hasn't learned about this yet? Xie Gui said.

"Well, it's not time to play the emperor yet. We originally thought that His Royal Highness was fine, but it was just because we missed the three princes and were sad for a while, so we asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves and soothe the depression. His Highness calmed down a little after taking the medicine, but after a month, His Highness's condition worsened sharply, and he began to talk nonsense, often unrecognizable. ”

"The imperial physician increased the dosage of medicine, and His Royal Highness's condition recurred, and then he began to vomit blood, and the imperial physician did not dare to continue the medicine. Now His Highness is sometimes stupid, sometimes crazy. The poor monk and the ancient general were discussing the matter of playing the emperor. ”

"This ......," Xie Gui hesitated.

Before he came to King Yan's mansion, he firmly believed that King Yan pretended to be crazy and stupid, and his belief began to waver on Dao Yan's sad face.

Xie Gui didn't see any falsehood in Dao Yan's sincere face, but found a kind of helplessness unique to generals from the eyes of the silent General Gu on the side—he wouldn't talk to you in detail, but everyone could see that he was worried.

"King Yan is blessed and noble, God will bless King Yan." Zhang Yu hurriedly said.

He didn't believe Daoyan's words, and knew that the truth of the void and the real was not just superficial.

Without seeing King Yan, he couldn't leave King Yan's mansion. King Yan is the protagonist, King Yan plays, and when the monk and general leave, they will relax and show their true colors.

Without waiting for Zhang Yu's smart mind to come up with a reason to enter and leave the mansion, Dao Yan made an invitation.

"Since the two adults are here, please come into the house and drink a cup of coarse tea."

Dao Yan's plan coincided with Zhang Hao, and before they saw Zhu Di's carefully prepared performance, Dao Yan naturally wouldn't let them leave.

Yan Wang Zhu Di sat at the door of the hall, waiting for the curious guests.

Two or three heavy cotton clothes bent his waist, and the sweat could not become beads or threads, and they were all set out and covered Zhu Di's face and neck.

There was a brazier next to Zhu Di, and the flamelight made a sizzling sound, as if it was about to swallow everything around it at any time.

"It's so cold! It's so cold! Zhu Di stretched out his two hands and put them above the brazier to keep warm.

Zhang Yu and Xie Gui stood two feet away and did not take a step forward.

They have the illusion that they have entered winter. However, the scorching sun above their heads and the sweat on their foreheads reminded them that it was summer.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness King Yan has been wearing cotton clothes since the beginning of the summer, and he still refuses to take it off when he is covered with prickly heat. He always said that it was cold, and he had a brazier every day to bake the fire. Alas, we have no choice but to follow him. ”

Dao Yan shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness?" Xie Gui took a step forward and narrowed the distance between himself and Zhu Di by a foot.

"See Your Highness, the lower official is the commander of the capital of Beiping!"

Zhu Di raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at Xie Gui seriously, and after a while, like a child tired of playing with a toy, he threw Xie Gui aside, and put all his attention on the charcoal fire that fascinated him the most.

"There have been so many things that have happened in the past few months, and it has hit Your Highness hard. The death of the first emperor is saddened by His Royal Highness. Although there was an edict that the prince could not enter Beijing for the funeral, His Royal Highness still kept a vigil for the emperor in Beiping for three days and three nights, and did not close his eyes. Later, it was the cutting of the domain, and His Royal Highness wrote to the emperor several times to stop cutting the domain, but in vain, he could only watch his brother be displaced. In addition, it was difficult for the three princes to return to Beiping for several months...... His Royal Highness suffered from the pain of being abolished by his siblings, and his children could not see each other, so he became insane, what a pitiful! ”

Daoyan's dry eyes were irrigated.

"Recently, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has disturbed my border again, and the emperor wants to let King Yan ask for conscription. But this ......"

Xie Gui's eyes wandered over the faces of Zhu Di, Dao Yan, and Hongshi, maintaining his willingness to communicate with them from time to time, so that Dao Yan and Hongshi could ignore Zhang Yu and create an opportunity for Zhang Hao to observe the two.
