The Zhao family in the capital.

The Zhao family is the third family of Dayan, although its strength is not as good as Li Chengan's Li family and Wenman's Wen family, but it also has its own advantages, that is, the Zhao family has won the trust of Yan Emperor Cao Ziwen. Thinking about it, the Wen and Li families are the second largest forces in addition to the royal family, so as the third child, they naturally take on the important task of balancing the second child. The Zhao family also knew that their family's status today was entirely because of the struggle between the emperor and the Wen and Li families, so they stood firmly on the emperor's side, were very loyal to the emperor, and looked forward to everything with the royal family.

For a long time, Emperor Cao Ziwen also trusted the Zhao family the most, and faintly regarded the Zhao family as a confidant, and the most intuitive manifestation was that Cao Ziwen handed over the only water division of Dayan to the Zhao family.

And now, the Zhao family has just received the news that the sailor camp has been lost and has fallen into the hands of a kid named Qin Wang.

"Who the hell is that Qin Wang? How did the Sailor Battalion get lost? What kind of dumbness do you treat me at this time? Tell me! The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Fei roared angrily.

Zhao is in his fifties, his skin is yellow, and there are already a few age spots on his face, but it can be seen that he is in good spirits. He is now Dayan's military squire, and his official residence is the third grade, although he is only a squire in name, and there is also a military secretary Li Chengan pressing him, but he is more trusted by Cao Ziwen than Li Chengan. He has always been fighting with Li Chengan, and he is the person Li Chengan wants to get rid of the most.

When he woke up, the sailor camp that had been in his hands was actually lost, and Zhao Fei felt like a dream. He still couldn't believe this fact, and he was angry at several main figures of the Zhao family for a long time. So angry that he almost pulled out his knife and cut down the people in front of him.

"The details of the situation are still not clear, but the Sailor Battalion has indeed been lost, and as for that Qin Wang, he doesn't know too much. I just know that he is a native of Qinjia Village, Chicheng, more than a year ago, he attacked Chicheng at night and took control of Chicheng, and he didn't know what means he used to control Yexian half a year ago. Seeing that the head of the family was so angry, a military general in his thirties stood up and said.

The general's name is Zhao Qian, the eldest son of the Zhao family, who served in the Tongzhou Prefecture Army, and was the leader of the Tongzhou Army.

Tongzhou is more than 100 miles southeast of the Great Yanjing Division, the east gate of the center of the Great Yan, which is geographically very important. If you want to go down to Youzhou, you must first open up the state, and once Tongzhou is taken by the enemy, then Youzhou will be wide open. Although the Tongzhou Army is not a Youzhou Forbidden Army, it is also an army with great status in Dayan.

"Don't know? You don't know anything! How did you, the general of Dingyuan, become a general? And that Zhao Jin, who used to think he was a character, didn't expect to be robbed of the water division camp so easily, what a waste! Zhao Qian pointed at Zhao Qian's nose and scolded.

"Yes, father, the child knows that he is wrong!" Zhao Qian hurriedly nodded and admitted his mistake.

After a fire, Zhao Jian calmed down a little, "Okay, it happened suddenly, and I can't blame you." Give me a good check, I don't believe that Qin Forget is just a mountain boy, there must be someone behind it, the old man wants to see who is rectifying our Zhao family. ”

"Father, tomorrow's court meeting ......," Zhao Qian asked worriedly.

"What else is the pilgrimage? I will go to see Your Majesty now, and I hope that Your Majesty will punish less for the sake of my Zhao family's loyalty. Zhao Ji waved his hand and interrupted his son's words, also with a worried face.

"That Liu Jian is really bold, he used to see him submissive and cautious, but I didn't expect to dare to do this rebellious thing, my father must be severely punished by His Majesty when he goes to His Majesty! Punish him for the Nine Clans! "Thinking of Liu Jian and making the Zhao family lost

went to such a powerful force as the water master, Zhao Qian, the future heir of the Zhao family, looked hateful.

"Are you stupid? Now when do you not know? The Tea Horse Market is about to open, do you think His Majesty the Emperor will easily do something to that Liu Jian at this time? The war dragged on for a few months, and the tea and horse market was yellow. In any case, Your Majesty will only temporarily appease that Liu Jian! Hearing his son say such a stupid thing, Zhao Ping scolded again.

"Then this dumb loss is our Zhao family's decision?" Zhao Qian asked unwillingly.

"What do you say? At least for the time being. Zhao Jian sighed lowly, "Then Wenman and Li Chengan have long regarded our Zhao family as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but this time I don't know how to fall into the well?" I just hope that Your Majesty can remember some old feelings. ”

"You won't remove my father's position as a squire in the military department, will you?"

"It's hard to say, this is also what my father is most worried about, without the title of squire of the military department, our Zhao family is really powerless to fight against Wen and Li." Zhao Ping, who was strong and calm, was also worried, "Forget it, everything is waiting for Your Majesty's ruling, and you don't leave me idle." Send someone for me to find out what the hell is going on. The eighteenth generation of Qin Wang's ancestors and the ins and outs of this piece, I have to know it clearly. ”

"Don't worry, father, the child has already been ordered." Zhao Qian agreed.

At the same time, the palace of Prince Zhong in the capital.

Prince Zhong Cao is the younger brother of Cao Ziwen's mother, and unlike Cao Ziwen, who is obsessed with political affairs and power, Cao prefers piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is a handsome and talented prince, who is famous all over the world for his hand, and has a bit of a demeanor. To say that there are many talented princes and grandsons in the four kingdoms, but those high-minded princes and grandsons all admire Cao without exception. The beauties and ladies of the world also admired him very much, and even a princess of Daqi would rather die than marry the prince of Southern Chu for him, and once almost plunged Qi and Chu into a war.

But for some reason, this dream lover of countless girls and young women is thirty-six years old, and he is still alone. Not only did he not marry a wife, but he didn't even accept a few concubines.

"Lord Wang, this is the situation in the north, and that Qin Forget has made a lot of noise." An old family member walked in with a thick stack of information and presented it to Cao.

Cao looks very similar to Cao Ziwen, but he is less ruthless and a little more bookish and indifferent.

"Hehe, can it be more lively than the last time I took Akagi?" Cao smiled slightly, put down the "Twenty-Four History" he was reading in his hand, and took the information handed over by his old family.

"Kill Zhao Jin and take down the Xinzhou Water Division and Xinzhou?" As soon as he glanced at it, Cao's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he asked in surprise.

"Yes, the details are like this......" The old family told Cao what Qin had forgotten to do, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

If Qin Forget was here, he would definitely be surprised and frightened, it turned out that what he did was not so tight, in fact, he had already been seen clearly, and Chicheng was not as clean as Dong Tianxiang said.

"What a big appetite." Cao's brows furrowed, Qin Forget he hadn't seen it, but he had been paying attention, it could be said that he had seen every step of Qin Wang's fortune.

The dignified Prince Yanzhong would actually pay attention to Qin Wang, a little person, and he didn't know what the relationship was between them.

"Then what is the Zhao family's reaction now?" Cao asked again.

"Zhao Pai was furious, scolded a group of cronies, and rushed to the palace overnight to meet His Majesty and plead guilty." I don't know who the old family is, but it is certain that they must have walked in the dark

actually knows the affairs of the Zhao family clearly.

"It's useless, Zhao Ji has planted it this time." Cao chuckled, "I know my imperial brother best, he is not afraid of any mess of the courtiers, and he hates his subordinates for being stupid." He was a conceited man, and he was confident that no matter what shortcomings the courtiers had, whether they were greedy for money, power, or sex, they would never leave the palm of his hand. He hated stupid people the most in his life, and the Zhao family did such a stupid thing this time, and the emperor would definitely not spare them. ”

"The prince means that the emperor will beat the Zhao family to death with a stick?" The old family asked.

Cao Shen groaned, "It shouldn't be, the Zhao family has always looked at the emperor as the horse's head, and the emperor still has to talk about this love, and the emperor still needs the Zhao family to contain Wen and Li." In fact, the most valuable thing of the Zhao family has never been Zhao Ping, the squire of the military department, but the 30,000 Tongzhou army under Zhao Qian. As long as there are these 30,000 Tongzhou troops, the emperor will not do anything to the Zhao family. However, His Majesty the Emperor probably won't let go of that Qin Wang, his actions are no different from rebellion, and he even occupied the only water division in the whole Dayan, how could he spare him. ”

"Do you want to ......?" the old family member stopped talking.

"No, it's not time yet." Cao refused, "I can't say that I have to waste a word for this kid, even the Zhao family of the third big Yan dares to move, he is so bold, just like his father." Cao shook the information in his hand and laughed.

"But Lord Wang, you haven't been to the court for many years, and you've been pinning your love on the mountains and rivers all these years, will it be too eye-catching to suddenly go to the court? Your Majesty is precisely because of these to make you an idle prince for so long, I am afraid that the prince's going to court will arouse Your Majesty's suspicion. The old family said worriedly.

"If I suspect that this thing is here, it will not be reduced by what this king has done over the years, and if I am not here, it will not make Your Majesty think much about it this time. After so many years, I should show my face after being an idle prince for so long, otherwise this Da Yan, no one will remember me as a loyal prince. Cao laughed self-deprecatingly, picked up the "Twenty-Four History" and looked at it again, and his expression returned to the indifferent state just now.

The old family sighed and said no more.

The right plus the current Guozhang Wenman, like Zhao Ping, angrily smashed the two tea cups. Not for anything else, just because Huang Jinshan messed things up, the tea horse market was about to open, but the hateful thing was that the venue that was opened actually fell into the hands of an outsider, which made Wenman very dissatisfied.

What's even more troublesome is that because of Qin Wang's intervention, the tea and horse market has become known to the world, adding a lot of uncontrollability to this matter. Wen Man became more and more uncertain about controlling the tea and horse market, and he hated Qin Wang. At this time, the news of the defeat of Chicheng by the Golden Mountain army has not yet reached Youzhou, and if it does, I don't know how he feels.

Li Cheng'an, the left minister, is much more plain, I heard that Huang Jinshan, Wenman and the Zhao family have all suffered a big loss from the same person, and they are very happy, and they are also full of curiosity about Qin Wang.

He is also determined to win the tea horse market, but his power in Akagi is far less than that of Wenman. Huang Jinshan, the assassin in charge of Yunzhou, was Wen Man's subordinate, and Li Cheng'an did not have any powerful subordinates in Chicheng at all, which made him think of subduing Qin Wang. With such a thought, he also immediately took action, and soon ordered his subordinates to start arranging.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people, the Great Yan Water Division has changed hands, Chicheng and Yexian have also escaped the control of the imperial court, and at the same time they have fallen into the hands of a young man. Qin Forget, this name reached the ears of all the important ministers of the Great Yan Dynasty tonight. Countless spies also set off for Chicheng at the same time tonight, no one knew who Qin Wang's subordinates were, and no one knew what Qin Wang's purpose was, but it was certain that everyone was curious about him.
