Chapter 628: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a gentleman outside the mansion who said he wants to see him!"
"Sir is coming to see Hongu?" When the crown prince Zhao Huan heard that his subordinates had returned, he scoffed: "There is neither merit nor fame, what is the role of seeing this palace?" What the palace wants to use are those real celebrities, just Mr. Gang, and send them away, and when such people come again in the future, they will be sent away directly. ”
Even if Zhao Huan Hu fell into Pingyang and had no power in his hands, he had his own dignity and his own arrogance, and he would definitely not see everyone. If a person from a famous family comes, he will definitely greet him in person, but now the person who comes is just a nameless person, Zhao Huan will not see it at all, if he really sees it, it will be too valuable.
"The man sent away?"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, no!"
"No?" Zhao Huan shouted, "This palace can't let you do such a small thing, what's the use of keeping you!" ”
"Your Highness is angry!" Seeing that the prince was angry, where did he dare to stand, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Prince, that person asked the villain to bring a note to His Highness, saying that His Highness saw it and saw him, and begged His Highness to spare the villain!" ”
"Something that doesn't exist!" Zhao Huan roared angrily, and heard that he said that the person had a note, and he also wanted to see what that person was capable of, and the note alone could let him see it, so he asked the next person to present the note.
When Zhao Huan saw the note, he was stunned for a moment, put the note away again, and asked his subordinates to invite the person into the mansion for a while.
Seeing Zhao Huan, the subordinate immediately changed his attitude, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, he took the benefits of others, and almost lost his own job, and even his own life. Now that the smoke had vanished, he hurriedly got up and invited the gentleman into the mansion.
"Sir, you almost killed me!"
"Didn't you annoy His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? It's just that this matter has passed, and presumably you will not have any punishment, and maybe even a reward afterwards. ”
The subordinate and the gentleman talked while walking, and originally wanted to extort a little favor, but the gentleman ignored it, and he was not angry. If this person is really used by the prince, then he still has to stammer, and if this benefit offends the distinguished guest in front of him, it will outweigh the loss.
"The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Zhao Huan was arrogant and asked loudly, "What do you mean by what you write here?" ”
"Naturally, it makes sense!" The gentleman replied calmly, "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will accept this gift with a smile?" ”
"You are so bold, you must know that assassinating the prince of the dynasty is a capital crime!" Zhao Huan looked at the gentleman expressionlessly, and seeing that his expression was not a little flustered, he couldn't help but appreciate a little, just because this note was written with a sentence: "The person who assassinated King Yan is me!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that this palace will report this matter to your father?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't dare, and he won't do this!" The gentleman was calm, smiled lightly, and then said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would really do this, how could he meet him?" Since His Royal Highness did not play, and even received him, it means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also very much agrees with what the grass people have done. ”
"Humph!" Zhao Huan snorted coldly, but he didn't speak, just because what the gentleman said was exactly what he thought in his heart.
"Today, the grass people came to visit the prince, just to help the prince ascend the throne as the emperor, I wonder if His Royal Highness the prince dares to cooperate with him?" Now that his goal has been achieved, and he has entered the Prince's Mansion, then he will no longer hide his intentions and say it straight to the point.
"Why are you?" Zhao Huan said concisely, looking at him intently.
"With my enough money and huge connections, as long as the crown prince is willing, I can re-establish a strong strength for you, so that you can inherit the throne with peace of mind." The gentleman said confidently, "Money can be channeled, as long as there is enough money, you can win people's hearts, even the palace can be placed eyeliner, always pay attention to the trend, the slightest wind and grass can be found." ”
What Zhao Huan lacks most is money and connections, which are what he needs most and are also his weaknesses. If there are these two things, then you can let go and do great things, or you can compete with Zhao Gou, and even the throne can be at your fingertips, which is logical.
Zhao Huan had to solemnly look at the gentleman in front of him, and saw that he was about forty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a little heroic between his eyebrows, and the light in his eyes made him not to be underestimated.
So, Zhao Huan instructed his subordinates to serve tea, personally invited him to sit down and taste tea, and served pastries. It can be said that all of a sudden the status is different.
"Dare to ask the gentleman's name!"
"Dharma name Cizhao!" The gentleman said with a smile.
"Seeing that the real person is over forty years old, how can there be such power?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, and I will be sixty in a few years!"
"I can't see it!"
Zhao Huan was shocked, there was no trace of time at all on the surface, at first glance it was only about forty, where would there be sixty, and I don't know how this person maintained his appearance, which made Zhao Huan even more convinced of the ability of Cizhao Zhenren.
"I forgot to say one thing to His Highness, King Yan may not be a big deal!"
Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's no big deal?" Why is there so much excitement about this? ”
"It should be the method used by King Yan!" After thinking about it, Cizhao also felt that this matter was a little strange, and only this statement could make sense.
If he is a person in the court, if he knows that the Qinglong envoy is a connector, he will definitely not let him enter the palace, and he can be arrested directly. Since the Qinglong envoy still completed what he ordered, the person did not take any action, that is, he wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, and only the person concerned wanted to know who it was, so he stood still and observed everything secretly.
Therefore, Cizhao Zhenren suspected that Zhao Gou did not have any problems, and that news was just a strategy to bluff people and lure the snake out of the hole. And, since then, all the members of the Assassin League have disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world, and no trace of them can be found.
At the same time, Zhao Gou in the Youdu Mansion also received information from Yan Qing, which clearly said that the person was the identity of the eunuch, and he saw the person enter the palace through the back door and disappear. After Zhao Gou saw it, his brows tightened, and he couldn't figure out who this person was.
"Isn't it the queen, or someone else in the palace?" Zhao Gou muttered to himself, "If the queen can't make sense, I don't have any grudges with her, not to mention that she can't produce so many silver taels at all, who is behind the scenes to operate all this?" ”
Now there are people behind the scenes, in order to force him to comply, that is to say, someone wants his own life. Originally, Zhao Gou withdrew all his forces from the capital and retreated to the sixteen states of Yanyun. Thinking about it at this time, it is still decided to leave some forces there to investigate the movements in the capital, and there may be some clues.
