After a trial of truth and falsehood, Zhuang Gongzhe could basically conclude that the second brother did not coax him, but was not lightly fooled by Zeng Yuanzi. But you can't blame your brother, if you can't be reminded by His Highness, it will be difficult to find the flaws. The current plan is to try to stabilize the rear army and bring it back smoothly, so as to atone the merit and seek forgiveness from His Highness. But Zhuang Gongzhe also knew that Zeng Yuanzi wantonly wooed Jiang Xuan and the generals of the rear army, and tried to bribe himself, and his wolf ambition was exposed, he wanted to steal the power of the South Guangxi Road, and then use it to blackmail the imperial court.

"Second brother, how many recruits have been added to the rear army?" Zhuang Gongzhe felt that what he could think of, Zeng Yuanzi, an old fox, must also think of it, and his several attempts to keep the rear army must have wanted to take them for his own use. With his scheming temperament, he will not leave a backhand, and the most convenient way is to use the excuse to supplement the casualties of the rear army to plant his own manpower.

"Big brother, the rear army has fought repeatedly, and the losses are quite large, and there are about seven or eight hundred supplements for several times." Zhuang Siqi was remorseful for what he had done, and hurriedly replied when he heard his brother ask.

"We have lost so many people, these are all our villagers!" Zhuang Gongzhe was heartbroken when he heard this, these people were all brought out by themselves, and everyone had a family behind them, so they died in Leizhou in vain, and if they didn't get it right, they would have to be rebellious, and they couldn't help but be angry.

"Big brother, blame me for being too stupid, and I'm only waking up now." Zhuang Siqi also said bitterly, "Since the rear army arrived in Leizhou, every battle must be the vanguard, and the new army commanded by the thief only waved the flag and shouted in the back, at that time I still felt very proud, and thought it was for the country, but now I know that it is deliberately consuming the strength of the rear army." ”

"You only know that it only allocates three days of food and grass to you at a time, so that you can't travel far at all, even if you want to go back to Qiongzhou, and you think it's difficult to raise military salaries. You see that this bead is worth tens of thousands, how can they be short of money! Zhuang Gongzhe said, "And what I am most worried about now is that he has planted his eyes in the rear army, and your every move is under his surveillance, and he will even take your life at any time and replace you, so as to usurp the rear army for himself." ”

"Big brother, won't you? He is an important minister of the imperial court, how could he make a move to destroy the Great Wall! Zhuang Siqi's hairs stood on end when he heard this, but he couldn't believe that Zeng Yuanzi was so bold.

"Hmph, what does a deserter who can abandon the court and His Majesty ignore what he wouldn't dare to do!" Zhuang Gongzhe said hatefully.

"What, he's a deserter?!" Zhuang Siqi said in disbelief.

"This is still false, when Lin'an City was about to fall, his noble governor absconded with his family on the eve of the city's breaking, so that there were only eight people in the early dynasty, which made the empress dowager angry, but she had no choice but to bring the young emperor to surrender, and her crime is unforgivable!" Zhuang Gongzhe said sharply.

"Zeng Thief is not a good person!" Zhuang Siqi clapped his hands and said sadly, "He often boasted in front of us about how to get the favor of the Queen Mother, and it was his righteous words that moved to the treacherous prime minister." And he wanted to be loyal to the country, but the Empress Dowager secretly ordered him to go out of Beijing to gather the army of King Qin, in order to revive the Great Song Dynasty. It turns out that all he said was farting, so as to deceive us and others. ”

"Hehe, he's so shameless! The tall man who came with him this time was his minister of the same palace back then, you see if he dares to boast in front of the tall man! Zhuang Gongzhe laughed angrily, this is really shameless and has never seen such shamelessness, and he can still boast about the shameless things he has done.

"Big brother, since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, let's take him down in one fell swoop, and get rid of traitors for the country, so as not to be in trouble!" Zhuang Siqi also hated the root of his teeth, he was actually deceived by such a thing, and he wanted to do it right away.

"Don't be presumptuous. Zeng Thief now has the merit of recovering the lost land, and if he does it rashly, he will let His Highness bear the name of killing his colleagues and killing heroes. Zhuang Gongzhe hurriedly stopped.

"Big brother, what I did this time must have been resented by His Highness, and it will inevitably affect you and the two brothers, why don't I kill this thief to dispel His Highness's suspicions, even if I die, I can return the innocence of the dealer." Zhuang Siqi thought about it. He now knew how big the basket he had stabbed, and it was not something that could be cleared of his name by being deceived merely by being deceived. And it's not a pity to die, as long as you can prove your innocence, lest your brothers be implicated by yourself.

"Don't be reckless, since Your Highness can see through his treacherous schemes, there must be a countermeasure, now you just need to pretend not to know everything, but secretly you must stabilize the rear army, lest the people it has installed take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Those two official prostitutes may be the eyeliner of the thief lurking beside you, so be careful not to be plotted by them. Zhuang Gongzhe hurriedly stopped, but he was very relieved in his heart, feeling that his brother was still the chivalrous brother he used to be, and he had not changed.

"Big brother is saying that His Highness has already made arrangements?" Zhuang Siqi, who was depressed, asked in surprise.

"What do you think? If it weren't for His Highness thinking that you and Jiang Yishan might be bewitched and deceived by the Zeng thief, how could he stop the army from sending troops to fight and send you food and salary, I didn't hope that you would be lost! Zhuang Gongzhe glared at him and said.

"Big brother, Your Highness didn't use this as a condition to blackmail you and the two brothers, did you?" Zhuang Siqi leaned over to his eldest brother and asked softly.

"Presumptuous, if Your Highness has this thought in his heart, how can he use me as a deputy envoy and deduct my capital together!" Zhuang Gongzhe said angrily.

"Where and how to deal with Jiang Yishan, do you want me to take him down and leave with him?" Zhuang Siqi's brain also came alive and offered advice.

"You...... Jiang Yishan is the king's master, and he is a transfer envoy all the way, if you do it, won't you commit the following crimes, and His Royal Highness will also bear the notoriety of killing the teacher. Then you hurt yourself, don't say it, even Your Highness is involved. Zhuang Gongzhe didn't know what to say about him, and sighed.

"Then His Highness came up with a trick to give way, which can only make them more presumptuous and despise the fact that there is no one in the Shuai Mansion!" Zhuang Siqi said unconvinced.

"How do you know that His Highness has no follow-up moves? And the tall man is not good at his peers, it's just that His Highness doesn't want to affect the overall situation because of infighting, and it is smart to be able to take down the thief without blood...... Alas, I can't tell you recklessly! Zhuang Gongzhe suddenly stopped halfway through speaking.

"Hehe, Zeng thief often complained in front of us that the imperial court let His Highness rule the place with such a child who doesn't know anything, and he only knows how to stay in one place, but he doesn't dare to take advantage of the situation. He also said that Lord Ying is already old and has no enterprising heart, and will only hold on to the defects and live for a long time. But he boasted of being clever and boasted that if he was allowed to govern Guangxi. Now it seems that he is really not as smart as a child! "Zhuang Siqi is not a stupid person, I heard that His Royal Highness had already laid out the game, so he waited for the thief to drill it himself...... (To be continued.) )
