After the acting king and his wife discussed, they changed into civilian clothes, took two cronies and guards, got into a carriage, and left the palace from the corner gate to the Yamen of the capital.

When he arrived at the Dusi Yamen, the acting king did not show up, and Xu Miaoqing asked Xu Huizu to pass through, saying that the second sister was visiting. After a short time, Xu Huizu's personal guard walked out in vain, looked left and right, saluted the two slightly, and then asked people to drive the carriage into the back hall of the yamen, and led the two to the side hall of the back hall to sit down. After the two of them sat down, Cheng Xubai solemnly saluted: "Prince, princess, grandfather is handling military affairs, and he will come over after dealing with it, please sit down." He glanced back at the door and said, "The guards at the door are all henchmen of the grandfather, don't worry." ”

Acting King Zhu Gui and Princess Xu Miaoqing looked at Cheng Xubai's back and looked at each other. After a long time, Zhu Gui said in a low voice: "Aifei, it seems that the eldest brother knows that we are coming." ”

"Well, it seems that the eldest brother has a number in his heart, and the prince must also know in his heart."

"Okay."

About half an hour later, the curtain was lifted, and Xu Huizu walked in from outside. The acting king and his wife hurriedly stood up, grabbed Xu Huizu's arms left and right, and said in unison: "Big brother has worked hard!" Xu Huizu glanced at them, sighed softly, and solemnly saluted: "Xu Huizu, the prince of Wei, greets the prince and princess!" ”

After the ceremony, the guests and hosts were seated. The acting king glanced at Xu Miaoqing, and Xu Miaoqing said: "Big brother, you have traveled through mountains and rivers to Datong in half a month, it is really hard. Compared with last time, the eldest brother has really lost a lot, and you have to pay more attention to your body, you are the backbone of your sister, and the helmsman of our Xu family. ”

Xu Huizu also seemed to be emotional, and said: "Second sister, our Xu family is deeply favored by the emperor, and the glory that my father has gained from the wind and rain in his life and on the battlefield cannot be lost here with me, plus the emperor treats the eldest brother very well, and the eldest brother can't wait to repay him!" So, it's nothing, the eldest brother knows it. ”

"Yes," Xu Miaoqing said softly: "The first emperor has just passed away, and the king of Zhou and Yan have been mad and rebelled. However, the prince hated the rebellion of the two kings, and wanted to serve the emperor, and hoped that the eldest brother would be able to speak well in front of the emperor. ”

"Well, big brother will." Saying this, Xu Huizu's gaze turned to the acting king.

The acting king hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Duke Wei, this king also deeply admires his father-in-law's high wind and brightness, and takes him as a model. Today, this king came here to report the rebellion of his fellow acquaintance Chen Xuan, and now I am afraid that Juyong Pass has been lost. ”

"Oh?" Xu Huizu chuckled and said, "Why did the prince say this? ”

"Since Chen Xuan led the troops to reinforce Juyong Pass, he dragged on all the way, he left Datong on October 5, and did not arrive at Badaling until the 13th. His military report said that Feng Sheng had occupied Badaling, and that he had not resisted the attack for several days, and to this day, he is still outside Badaling. ”

"Is this what the prince said?" Xu Huizu took out a military newspaper from his bosom, unfolded it and read: "October 21 military newspaper,...... Feng Sheng defended to the death, and the ministers fought hard to attack it but did not resist, and the 30,000 army suffered heavy losses, and the ministers were ashamed to ...... the emperor's favor."

The acting king was shocked and said, "How can the military newspaper be here with you?" ”

"Before the last general entered Datong, he sent cavalry to intercept all the military reports from Datong to and from Huai, and today he intercepted this." While speaking, Xu Huizu gently patted the military newspaper in his hand.

The acting king had the heart to take it to see if there was anything else in it, but there was a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and he was hesitating, but he saw Xu Huizu take out a piece of paper from the military newspaper and read: "The ministers sent people to look at it from a high position, and the Yongguan has been overcome, the prince must not hesitate any longer, the three kings will do things, and success or failure will be in this move." ”

After reading it, General Xu Huizu handed the report to the acting king, and said: "Lord Wang, after the last general intercepted this military report, he determined that Chen Xuan had rebelled, because the last general did not receive a similar military report when he was in Taiyuan, and after interrogating the messenger, it was confirmed that this military report was only sent to Datong. But the last general doesn't know what its purpose is. Also, what does this 'Three Kings Move' refer to? ”

The acting king took the military newspaper with trembling hands, looked at the military newspaper and letters carefully, the cold sweat on his forehead fell drop by drop, and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Xu Miaoqing next to him stood up, bowed to his brother and said: "Please explain the truth to the emperor, Chen Xuan's move is clearly to drag the prince into the water, he harbors evil intentions and separates the royal family, which is really an irreparable sin." ”

"That's right, Chen Xuan, a traitor, is too insidious, not only sending false military reports, but also intending to frame this king for rebellion, which is really unpunishable." The acting king reacted quickly and followed Xu Miaoqing's words.

"Oh, that's the case," Xu Huizu stood up, paced two steps, and said, "The last general still thinks that the prince is dissatisfied with the emperor's disposition and intends to rebel!" ”

"This is absolutely not, please explain it to the emperor!" The acting king's frightened soul did not possess his body, and he quickly knelt down to explain, and Xu Miaoqing also knelt down and begged.

Xu Huizu sighed, helped the two of them up, and said, "Since the prince has no objection, then hurry up and explain it clearly and wait for the court to deal with it." ”

"Well, this king understands, this king understands," the acting king agreed again and again, but after a while he hesitated: "Can the emperor trust this king?" ”

"This," Xu Huizu thought for a while and said, "If the prince wants to show the greatest sincerity and loyalty, the emperor will naturally agree." ”

"Okay. Thank you Wei Guogong! This king will write a recital right away, and he will write a recital right away! The acting king got up and was about to leave. Xu Miaoqing also bowed down to express his gratitude, and listened to his brother say to himself: "I don't know if the commander of the three guards has colluded with Chen Xuan, it seems that it is good to investigate." ”

Xu Miaoqing's delicate body was shocked, and she said in a low voice: "Thank you, eldest brother, my sister will never forget in this life!" She looked back at the acting king, but found that the modern king's face was like earth, and the roots of her teeth couldn't help but itch.

"It's nothing, tomorrow Ben will also go to the court to explain what happened here, I hope your twists and turns will be faster."

"Definitely, definitely!" The acting king was like a puppet at this time, and Xu Huizu agreed to anything.

Looking at the backs of the two, Xu Huizu sighed secretly: With such an IQ, you still want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? It's so simple!

Back in the carriage, Xu Miaoqing grabbed the neck of the acting king and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, does anyone know about the previous plan?" It must be eliminated immediately, or disaster will befall you. ”

"Get rid of? Oh, that's right," the acting king patted his thigh and said, "Wang Botao, the commander of the Datong Left Guard, Han Fengping, the same acquaintance of the Datong Central Guard, and Cui Yongyu, the chief of the mansion." ”

Xu Miaoqing's eyes were worried: "These people must be eliminated, immediately, tonight." ”

"Well, Cui Yongyu is easy to deal with, but Wang and Han are already gone, what should I do?"

"Then send a cronie guard, chase and kill overnight, be sure to kill the two, and all those who know must be silenced, otherwise my eldest brother will report your rebellion and capture you."

"No, he's your own brother."

"My brother, hehe," Xu Miaoqing sneered: "My brother is a person who learns from my father everywhere, and he is the most hard-hearted and loyal to the emperor. Today he still has a little brotherly and sister affection, and he pulled us along, but this is already the limit, otherwise we will at least be under house arrest in the palace now, waiting for the court to deal with it. ”

"In addition, I think the eldest brother has other considerations, now the eldest brother-in-law has been reversed, if you are also reversed, then the eldest brother will not be able to deal with himself, even if the emperor trusts him again, he will be idle, the emperor is just over twenty this year, at least he can be the emperor for thirty years, if the Wei Guogong lineage is idle for thirty years, then he will never be able to turn over, it is difficult to be an idle duke, which is unacceptable to the eldest brother. That's why he pulled us along. ”

"Oh, I see." The acting king wiped the sweat from his forehead, called the chief of the guard to Kong Ruo, whispered a few words, nodded to Kong Ruo in agreement, and immediately turned away.

The acting king looked at his back, sighed, looked back at Xu Miaoqing and said, "Wang and Han have been gone for two hours, it is likely to be too late, it would be good if your brother reminded me earlier." ”

"It's not because at the banquet, you don't dare to tell the truth, my brother naturally doesn't say much, and now like this, you can't blame my brother, it's all your own fault."

"Well, this king did make a mistake, too hesitant. Do you know? If your brother arrives a day late, I will immediately raise troops when I see Chen Xuan's news, and your brother will not be able to enter Datong, and there will be no way to take me. ”

"What are you dreaming about, my brother has mobilized the Suiyuan Army, in no more than ten days, the Suiyuan Army will be able to rush to Datong, the first line of Yanmen Pass has been cast into an iron wall, our family is trapped in Datong, there is really no curse."

"Oh, yes, it's still the princess who thinks thoughtfully, your brother is thoughtful, and he has already been prepared, fortunately he stopped the letter, hehe!" The acting king came to his senses and hurriedly laughed and made a mockery. But Xu Miaoqing didn't appreciate it, and said worriedly: "Now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Lord Wang, the most important thing is to destroy the evidence in the house, and you can't keep it at all." ”

"Well, this king understands." The acting king also came to his senses at this time, and his eyes shone with a crazy and bloodthirsty light.

That night, Cheng Xubai reported to Xu Huizu that two hundred guards of the palace went out of the south gate late at night, and the governor of the palace, Shi Cui Yongyu, and a number of tent rooms and stewards died of a violent illness.

Xu Huizu's face was expressionless, and he replied lightly: "Got it!" ”
