When Wu Zhi arrived at the living room, Shi Xiu was drinking tea with a white-faced eunuch, and the eunuch saw Wu Zhi come out and hurriedly saw Wu Zhi salute, Wu Zhi smiled and waved his hand, and instructed Shi Xiu: "Put the incense case!" ”

The eunuch stopped and said with a smile: "This is not necessary, the Holy Lord has to tell him, just hand over the secret edict to the prince." ”

Wu Zhi listened to Zhao Ji's instructions to speak, so he was slightly relieved, after all, Lu Cheng's intelligence network in the capital could not penetrate the palace, and he only knew that Zhao Ji had not been to the early court for a few days, but he didn't know how serious his condition was.

The eunuch handed over the secret edict to Wu Zhi, and immediately got up to say goodbye, Wu Zhi sent it to the door of the living room, turned around and unfolded the secret edict, and on the yellow silk silk was Zhao Ji's thin pen body, Wu Zhi's heart was put down again, and he could still write, and his illness would not be too serious, and Zhao Ji only wrote one sentence: "My brother is seriously ill, and my second brother returns to Beijing." ”

Wu Zhi took the silk silk and looked at it a few times, and suddenly he was stunned, there was a faint trace of blood in the lower right corner of the silk silk, although it was wiped clean, but Wu Zhi's eyes were so vicious, he could see at a glance that it was the blood stains, and his heart was heavy, did he cough up blood?

Wu Zhi was not in the mood to eat and drink at this time, so he told Shi Xiu and Gong E in the backyard to tell Jin Lian to have fun themselves, and sent someone to summon Wu Yong to discuss matters in the study.

In the study, Wu Yong flipped over and over the secret edict and looked at it several times, and his eyes also stared at the blood stains, and sighed: "The saint is not lightly ill!" ”

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

"What is the prince going to do?" Wu Yong asked.

Wu Zhi sighed. "Returning to Beijing ...... Tomorrow"

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment. frowned and said, "Why doesn't the prince start a war with the Northern Kingdom now?" ”

Wu Zhi glanced at Wu Yong a few times: "Do you think it's inappropriate for me to go back to Beijing?" ”

Wu Yong nodded: "Although the prince has taken advantage of Cai Xiang in the past few years, it is just the grace of the saint, but now the situation is different!" ”

Wu Zhi looked at Wu Yong without speaking.

"The Holy One is seriously ill, and the consideration of the land is naturally a matter of the Hereafter, although the relationship between the prince and the Holy Brother is deep, it is not as good as the eternal inheritance of the Holy Earth......"

"Forgive the villain for being bold, the prince sits in Hebei, has been sitting on heavy troops for many years, and the momentum is even more like the sky. At this time, the saint summoned the prince back to Beijing, I am afraid that it will be ......," Wu Yong did not dare to say any more.

"Are the birds hidden?" Wu Zhi smiled.

Wu Yong nodded slightly: "Even if the saint doesn't have such thoughts, but there are Cai Jing and others blowing the wind in front of the saint, I am afraid that the prince will fall into power when he returns to the capital...... According to Xiaosheng's opinion, it is better to immediately provoke a border dispute, and the military affairs are the most important, so the prince can excuse himself not to return to the capital......"

"Then the saints will also be jealous of me, and the mouth of all the people will be leisurely. I won't give an order, I will drag it until the emperor's brother goes, the new emperor is young, I can be a noble king, I can entrust the lonely minister, the new emperor's uncle will appear, if the new emperor is disrespectful, and I can build momentum among the people, saying that the new emperor is young and the credit is treacherous. Even tricks like the Qingjun side can be played? ”

Wu Yong nodded again and again, but seeing that Wu Zhi's face was getting more and more ugly, Wu Yong sighed and was silent.

"I'll go back to the capital tomorrow. Take care of the affairs of the palace. Wu Zhi shook his head, although he was annoyed, he didn't blame Wu for the reason. He also thinks about himself.

"The prince has this decision, and Xiao Sheng doesn't dare to say more. Xiaosheng will write a resignation letter to the prince. Wu said with a sigh.

"Why are you writing a resignation letter?" Wu Zhi shook his head.

Wu Yong sighed: "Resign from the military affairs of Hebei so that the saint can ......feel at ease."

Wu Zhi looked at Wu Yong for a long time and shook his head gently: "I don't write the resignation of Na Lao Shizi!" ”

Wu Yong hurriedly said: "The prince can't be rash!" ”

Wu Zhi shook his head and waved his hand to signal Wu Yong to retreat, Wu Yong didn't dare to say any more, sighed and walked out.

Wu Zhi and his entourage rushed to Bianjing in the dust, washed up a little in the Guiwang Mansion, and hurriedly entered the palace, seeing the eunuch leading him to the imperial study, Wu Zhi was very curious in his heart, how could the imperial brother still see himself in the imperial study, could it be that his condition was not serious?

In the imperial study, Zhao Ji sat behind the bookcase and smiled at Wu Zhi who walked in, his face was unusually pale, but his complexion was not sluggish.

"Brother Huang, you ...... Are you okay? Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji's pale face, and his heart suddenly became sour.

"It's okay and you can't die haha...... cough cough ......" laughing, Zhao Ji suddenly coughed, the eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward to deliver a handkerchief of clear water, a eunuch ran out in a panic, thinking that it was to call the imperial doctor, Zhao Ji coughed a few times, waved his hand to signal the eunuch to retreat, Wu Zhi could clearly see the white handkerchief taken by the eunuch on the black blood stains.

"Imperial Brother ......" Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji blankly.

"Sit down...... "Now I can't laugh anymore." Zhao Ji sighed, motioned for Wu Zhi to sit down, and waved his hand to signal the eunuch next to him to withdraw.

"I haven't come out and walk around for a month, and I was forced to lie on the bed by the imperial doctor every day, and today I still trust the second brother's fortune to barely come out for a ......walk," Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, his face was a little gloomy.

"How could the imperial brother get sick?"

"I don't know if the imperial doctor can't say why, but he just coughs up blood every day...... A few days ago, I saw the emperor...... That's when I made up my mind to summon you back to Beijing......"

"Brother Huang will be fine......" Wu Zhi suddenly felt that his words were so pale and weak, and lowered his head halfway through.

"Don't be sad, think that under my rule, the Great Song Dynasty will make the country rich and the people strong, and the clouds will be taken back, and the Northern Expedition will be just around the corner, even if I go to see the emperor of the Liedai now, I have no regrets......" Zhao Ji smiled and looked at Wu Zhi. Don't talk about that, show me your resignation......"

"Huh?" Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't write it?" Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi funny.

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

"Second brother, your staff is not very effective!" Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Wu Zhi saw that Zhao Ji was in a good mood, scratched his head and said: "It's no wonder that when they came to Beijing, they proposed to ask the younger brother to write it, but the younger brother was lazy and didn't write it." ”

"Why don't you write if you're too lazy?" Zhao Ji was a little strange.

"If the imperial brother wants his brother to return to Beijing. The younger brother just wants to return to Beijing without writing a resignation letter. If the imperial brother still wants his brother to go to Hebei, what is the use of his brother writing a resignation? Wu Zhi Zhenzhen has words.

Zhao Ji wanted to laugh but was afraid of coughing up blood, so he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Wu Zhi and shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were a little more relieved.

"Second brother, Hebei, you can't go back." Zhao Ji was silent for a while, and then Zhengse said to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

"This is my good for you, but also for the good of the second disciple's grandchildren!" Zhao Ji said.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Chen is not stupid. Knowing that the royal brother is a loving heart. ”

"Well, speaking of which, my biggest regret is that I can't see my second brother wipe out the north with my own eyes...... Instead, he wants to recall the second brother ......" Zhao Ji blamed himself a little.

"Brother Huang, rest assured, the forbidden army in the northwest of Hebei will sweep away the four yi, and it will only be a matter of an eye......"

Zhao Ji smiled, "These merits will be given to Huan'er...... suddenly raised his head and said to Wu Zhi: "Second brother, you promise me one thing." ”

Wu Zhi said: "Brother Huang, please speak." The courtiers listen to the emperor's brother. ”

"Promise me not to meddle in military affairs from now on!" Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi Yiyu and said.

Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji and nodded silently.

Zhao Ji smiled: "Second brother, don't forget today's promise in the future." ”

Wu Zhi nodded. At this time, the door of the study was soft, and the eunuch led a six- or seven-year-old child in, and the child was very handsome, and he looked a little like Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji smiled and beckoned to the child: "Huan'er come here." The child ran over with a smile and shouted, "Father." ”

Zhao Ji pointed at Wu Zhi, "Go kowtow to your uncle." ”

Wu Zhi hurriedly stood up, and in front of him was Zhao Ji's eldest son, Zhao Huan, although he was nominally his uncle, Zhao Huan had already been canonized as the crown prince. The gift of kowtowing is unbearable.

Zhao Huan walked up a few steps and knelt down for Wu Zhi one by one, and Wu Zhi hurriedly pulled it up. smiled bitterly at Zhao Ji: "Brother Huang, don't kill me." ”

Zhao Ji ignored Wu Zhi and said to Zhao Huan: "Huan'er remember to listen to your uncle's orders in the future!" ”

Zhao Huan's little head nodded hard. looked at Wu Zhi curiously for a while and smiled: "Uncle, I know you." ”

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Zhao Huan circled around Wu Zhi, lifted Wu Zhi's robe, looked at it, and said: "I thought that my uncle was three heads and six arms, and he could cure those long-haired Yi people well, it turns out that my uncle also has two hands and two feet......"

Zhao Ji and Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't have a tail. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Take him out." The eunuch was also afraid of provoking the saint to vomit blood, so he took Zhao Huan's hand and led him out, Zhao Huan obediently saluted Zhao Ji and Wu Zhi, and then walked out, Wu Zhi saw that Zhao Huan was smart and smart, and nodded with a smile.

"Alas, the queen is frail and sickly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to assist Huan'er!" Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Huan's back and sighed.

Zhao Huandi's mother, Queen Wang, was the daughter of Wang Zao, the Thorn Shi of Texas, and became Zhao Jidi's wife at the age of fifteen. Wang's dignified, loyal, and lustful Zhao Ji didn't have much interest in her. Although the Wang family became the queen, it was Zhao Ji's favorite concubine Zheng and Wang who were in charge of the harem. In order to further crack down on her, the harem eunuchs actually spread rumors that the queen misbehaved and degraded women's morality. Although there was no evidence in the end, Wang's already depressed mood was even worse when he was hit by this flying disaster, and he couldn't afford to get sick.

Wu Zhi naturally doesn't know these details, only knows that the queen is not very favored today, but Zhao Ji is most favored by Wang Guifei and Zheng Guifei, Zhao Ji's worries are not unreasonable, after all, if Zhao Ji really dies, the queen is promoted to the queen mother, and has the authority to assist the young emperor to listen to the government, if the queen mother is sick or even dies early, the royal authority is bound to be challenged, and even what power will be produced to control the government.

"Brother Huang thought about this too early!" Wu Zhi said that everything was wrong at this time, and he could only comfort Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji waved his hand for a while: "Sit down and tell me about your experience over the years......

The two chatted about the palm lamp very much, until the imperial doctor and the concubine urged Zhao Ji several times, and said goodbye to Wu Zhi a little tiredly, Wu Zhi went out of the palace and went straight to the north gate, remembering Zhao Ji's words: "Second brother, I haven't seen my master for more than a month, you go and see her, and ah...... Take care of her in the future......" Wu Zhi sighed in his heart.

The trees in the courtyard are still so quiet. The small attic is still so elegant, and Master Li is still so beautiful, but he has lost a lot of weight, and his face is very haggard, and when he saw Wu Zhi, Master Li's eyes turned red and turned around to wipe his tears.

Ling Wuzhi walked into the attic, and the faint fragrance seemed familiar, and this sweet fragrance had been accompanying Wuzhi in those days when he was in a coma.

"Eldest sister, are you okay......" Wu Zhi looked at Master Li a few times after sitting down and sighed.

"It's fine. Holy ...... Holy Lord, is he okay? Master Li personally soaked Wu Zhi with fragrant tea, and asked Wu Zhi softly.

"It's okay, eldest sister, don't worry." Wu Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Master Li sat on the soft couch and nodded silently.

"Tell the eldest sister good news, I won't go back to Hebei this time, Jin Lian and they will all come in a few days, and the eldest sister will have to prepare more gifts, Jin Zhi, you haven't seen it yet." Wu Zhi smiled and suddenly felt inappropriate. Sure enough, Master Li's face darkened even more after smiling. Wu Zhi secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and he was recalled to Beijing, didn't he show that the imperial brother was arranging the aftermath?

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Wu Zhi only knows that women love shopping, and maybe they can make the eldest sister happier.

Master Li smiled and shook his head: "I'm not going." ”

Wu Zhi got up and said, "Let's go, let's go, sister, how long has it been since I've seen the night view of Tokyo?" I'm going to take my eldest sister with me today! Big sister, don't let me be rough! "Zhang Tooth and Claw are about to pull Master Li.

Master Li smiled and got up helplessly, glanced at Wu Zhi with a smile, and said, "I really can't do anything about you." As a noble king, he is becoming more and more domineering! ”

Wu Zhi laughed a few times, and walked out first, instructing the servants to prepare the carriage and horses.

Master Li's incense car is delicate and exquisite. The red pony in the light red carriage shook his head at Wu Zhi. When Master Li got into the carriage lightly, he raised his hand and beckoned Wu Zhi to sit together. Wu Zhi pouted at the pony and smiled, "Forget it, don't get tired of it." ”

Master Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is an official family......" The smile suddenly froze, Wu Zhi saw that it was not good, he was afraid of making her sad again, and hurriedly smiled and got into the car, "Okay...... Just look at how strong the eldest sister's BMW is? ”

The night scene of Tokyo is brightly lit, the Bianhe River is bright, Wu Zhi and Li Shishi are sitting in the carriage and laughing constantly, Wu Zhi is so tired of talking to people for the first time, every sentence has to be thought about before saying it, for fear of causing Li Shishi to feel sad, so the most talked about is the matter of Hebei, and Li Shishi also listens to it with relish.

"Crispy pear...... Crispy pear ......" The hawker next to him came into the car, Li Shishi opened the curtain and looked out, Wu Zhi smiled and took out a few copper coins from his body and handed them to Li Shishi.

Master Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled at Nunu, a vendor below: "Eldest sister got out of the car and bought it herself!" ”

Master Li's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately looked out of the window eagerly.

Wu Zhi clasped his hands on his chest and said with a smile: "If you want to eat snow-white and crispy pears, the eldest sister has to do it herself!" ”

Master Li smiled at Wu Zhi a few times, curled his red lips, and said, "Hum", "Buy it yourself, do you have to ask you?" Gently lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage lightly, looking at Master Li, who was usually gentle and arrogant, suddenly like a little girl, she was angry and coquettish, Wu Zhi shook her head funny, and looked down from the window.

Master Li walked to the hawker and didn't know what to say to the hawker, the hawker shook his head again and again, Master Li gestured for a long time, the hawker just shook his head, Wu Zhi looked strange, and he gave Master Li more than a dozen texts. It's still enough to buy two pears, why don't you want to be bullied by a hawker for such a long time, Master Li hasn't bought anything, right? I was about to get out of the car to look, but I saw that Master Li had already thrown the copper coin to the vendor, picked up a pear, and ran back in a hurry.

"Let's see this pear is big enough, right?" After getting into the car, Master Li held the pear and excitedly showed off to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled and smiled, and he was complacent when he bought a pear, but he didn't say anything.

Master Li seemed to see Wu Zhi's mind and smiled: "It's not that the eldest sister is stupid, I originally told the vendor to buy three pears, so I can eat two, and the second brother can also eat one, but the vendor just doesn't follow, so I have to buy one......"

Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, "Then the eldest sister won't buy both of them and take them herself?" It's the same that makes me hungry......"

Master Li smiled: "Isn't that a bully for the second brother?" As he spoke, he played with the pear in his hand and turned it over and over, but he couldn't see enough.

"Do you want me to peel it for you?" Wu Zhi proposed.

Master Li shook his head with a smile. Sydney solemnly put it in his arms. "Let's go back......"

Wu Zhi nodded and ordered the handlebar style to go back to the northern suburbs, and on the way, Wu Zhi told Master Li a few little jokes, causing Master Li to cover his mouth from time to time and chuckle lightly, happy time is always short, and when the carriage stops outside the car, the handlebar style says carefully: "Miss, Lord." It's here. ”

The two got out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Second brother, do you still come in and sit?" ”

Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "It's too late!" ”

Master Li glanced at Wu Zhi lightly and smiled: "Thank you, second brother, today!" He turned around and walked lightly into the building.

Seeing the light orchid figure disappear, Wu Zhi sighed and turned around and walked towards the jade lion in the corner of the outer wall of the courtyard......

In the past few days, Wu Zhi has also experienced a little bit of the hot and cold state of the world, although there are not a few officials who have visited. But there is no more traffic before, those who saw the wind and turned the rudder, seeing that the king was recalled to Beijing, the nineteenth was cut of military power, although Wu Zhi still had two big hats on his head, the prince and the prince, but after all, he became a well-informed person in the idle dynasty, and they all knew that the king and Cai Xiang were not in harmony, and it was rumored that Zhao Ji had summoned Cai Jing several times, and it seemed that he had the intention of entrusting the orphan, how could these people dare to get too close to Wu Zhi again?

this day. Wu Zhi was wandering around the mansion, looking at the listless appearance of the eunuch Gong E in the mansion, Wu Zhi knew. These people must have heard some rumors, thinking that the Mansion of the King of the Kingdom would never regain its former glory.

"Lord Wang. Xu Yi begged to see the prince. A guard hurried to say goodbye.

Wu Zhi nodded, and walked towards He'an Dian. I wondered what he was doing. Three years ago, Xu Yi was demoted to the Huangzhou regiment because of his wealth, but in the past three years, Xu Yi has worked hard to drill the camp, and now he is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but he finally returned to the capital, remembering that this guy had collided with himself face to face, Wu Zhi smiled, I don't know why he came?

In the Yin'an Palace, Xu Yizheng looked around, saw Wu Zhi coming in, and greeted him with a smile: "The prince is presumptuous. No wonder, no wonder! ”

Wu Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Xu Yi to sit down: "The squire can come to my small temple, this king is very honored!" ”

Xu Yi heard Wu Zhi's "squire", his face was embarrassed for a while, and the Zhongshu squire was also a squire, and the holder of the Ministry of Rites was also a squire, but one was a deputy prime minister, an important minister of the court, and the other was a five-grade petty official, and the Ministry of Rites was even more Qingshui, and the status of the Yamen was really different.

Xu Yi looked at Wu Zhi's face as usual, as if he didn't mean to ridicule himself, so he smiled and said, "What are these words, prince?" It should be that I, the mud bodhisattva, is too young to enter the big temple of the prince's land and be afraid. ”

"Drink tea!" Wu Zhi smiled faintly.

Xu Yi nodded, tasted the tea, and looked at Wu Zhi with a smile: "Forgive your majesty, Tang Tu, I don't know if the prince has ever faced the saint in the past few days?" ”

Wu Zhi shook his head.

Xu Yi said "oh", "Yesterday, I heard that Cai Lian entered the palace at night, and I don't know if it's true or not......

Wu Zhi smiled: "Cai Xiangnai, I am the pillar of the sky, and I still don't forget the state affairs when I am sick, and I am really a model for us to be courtiers!" ”

Xu Yi nodded and said, "It's just that I don't know when the prince will return to Hebei to supervise the army?" Without waiting for Wu Zhi to answer, he said: "I think it is necessary to wait for the saint to get better, although the prince and the saint are brothers of the opposite sex, and the relationship is deep, they are really envious of others." ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "That's the grace of the saint, and I dare not take it!" "There is gradually anger in my heart, even if I am no longer an idle king, I am not you, a little squire can speak sarcastically.

Xu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Why didn't the prince set up a few tables when he returned to Beijing?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "This is not a good time! ”

"No matter how busy the prince is, he should have a few drinks with the adults in the capital, and he suddenly said that Cai Xiang ......," Xu Yi said with a smile.

Wu Zhi looked at Xu Yi and smiled, this guy is crazy, I am afraid that in order to tie up Cai Jing again, he will do everything to persuade himself to invite Cai Jing, especially at this time, it is clear that the king bows to Cai Jing.

Wu Zhi slowly picked up the teacup, and the ruffian in front of him was angry, and he was about to smash him with a teacup, his face was full of flowers, when he suddenly heard a shrill voice outside: "Your king, Wu Zhi takes the order!" ”

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the guards promised to be able to go all the way to the Yin'an Palace, the scale of this holy decree was high enough, and he hurriedly got up and walked out, and there was a white and chubby eunuch standing outside, and behind him were dozens of guards of the forbidden palace with bright armor.

Xu Yi, who came out with him, exclaimed, "Raiding the house?" He immediately covered his mouth.

Wu Zhi was about to instruct the eunuch to put the incense case, and the holy decree had been unfolded, so Wu Zhi had to kneel down and say: "Chen Wu Zhi is here!" ”

The eunuch began to read aloud the holy decree, crepe crepe, Wu Zhi also didn't understand what it meant, what "Haotian's life", what "should be ordered by the heavens", who knew what he said, and later when he said "your king Wuzhi", he gradually understood what he was boasting of, "raising troops out of the fortress to break the rebellion", "Zhongzheng is upright", "seeing profit is not a loss of righteousness, seeing death is not more guarded", what is "blaming oneself and holding others lightly", what "Guangying Fengyi Yan Yi must not commit the name of the world's admiration, and he is known to foreigners", etc., although Wu Zhi does not understand much, he also knows that he is praising himself.

The eunuch nagged like this for a long time, and then suddenly stopped, looking at Wu Zhi's face, a few traces ......of sneer, Wu Zhi was blaming, so he heard the eunuch say loudly: "This is giving your king Wu Zhi's dragon head, the golden mace can be beaten up, the minister can be beaten up, the minister is not involved, the palace is not resigned, and the lower hall is not resigned," the eunuch's voice stretched for a long time, and Wu Zhi was stunned, and his mind was confused.

"Plop" Xu Gai fell down and raised a cloud of sand and dust in the belt.
