Time passed day by day, and the day of Zhao Hongming's wedding ceremony was getting closer and closer, and soon, the day was in mid-August.

Zhao Hongxing was very strange, why didn't Zhao Hongming come back with his future daughter-in-law? It seems that he will get married in more than a month, but his new daughter-in-law has not yet met her mother-in-law's family.

But even if the eldest prince has not brought back the new princess of the Yanfeng royal family, the preparations for the wedding ceremony are still in progress. The Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of all the internal affairs of the imperial family, attaches great importance to the wedding ceremonies of the princes, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites personally presides over everything.

However, this wedding ceremony is not destined to go so smoothly, and for a royal family, there will always be all kinds of problems waiting for them.

Early in the morning, on the bookcase of Zhao Zongyang's imperial study, there were three folds marked with cinnabar.

These three folds represent that these are three very important things, and the various Shangshu cannot make a decision directly, and Zhao Zongyang needs to see it personally.

The people who can report to him are basically the ones whose various Shangshu have formulated many solutions to the incident in the song. But because each method requires different resources, it is up to the emperor to decide which method is feasible, or the emperor himself to develop another method.

But in either case, it's not something that can be decided with a pat on the head after watching the recital. Zhao Zongyang will call the people in charge of this matter in various ministries according to the situation, and further inquire about the detailed situation, and may even need him or send a prince to go in person.

In short, as long as there is a fold on the table, it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to be idle

Zhao Zongyang sighed and picked up the first fold on the table. I woke up early this morning with only three copies, which is already relatively rare.

Zhao Zongyang found a comfortable place to sit down in the imperial study, and looked through the fold in his hand. After so many years in this room, he had enough to sit in the chair in front of the bookcase.

Looking at it, Zhao Zongyang frowned.

This piece of music is the return written by the leader of the small group of officers and soldiers he asked the military department to send to the northwest and bring back Qi Huan's family.

The gist of it is that when they arrived at Qi's house in the northwest, the house had been displaced by a fire, and all of them had died in the rubble.

It's a ruthless attack. Zhao Zongyang shook his eyebrows.

There is no need to guess at all, the one who wiped out the Qi family must be the group of people who want to secretly buy the thunder fire formula at a high price. It was precisely because Qi Huan, the only one who knew the formula, was brought to the capital by Liang Yu, and seeing that he couldn't buy the formula, this guy killed the Qi family and burned the Qi family clean.

Extremely rampant practices, but without leaving the slightest trace that could be traced, Zhao Zongyang couldn't help but think of the mysterious organization that wiped out the three sects as soon as it appeared.

Zhao Zongyang really hoped that they didn't want to buy this new type of thunder fire, otherwise, these guys hiding in the shadows would definitely come to the capital, and there would definitely be friction with the Yanfeng royal family. Dealing with this unknown enemy is the most troublesome for Zhao Zongyang.

Then I looked down at the twists and turns, and there was still no good news. According to the envoy and local officials, there was no explosion on the day the Qi family was engulfed in flames. This means that all the thunder fires in the Qi family must have been secretly swept away, so the Qi family was quietly burned by the fire.

But this also means that the new thunder fire that Qi Huan forgot at home was still taken away by unknown people.

Although this catty of thunder fire may not be used in the territory of Yanfeng, as long as there are ready-made samples, it increases the possibility of being imitated, if this thing is mass-produced and used in war......

In the midst of the compromise, Shangshu of the Ministry of War suggested that from now on, outsiders in the capital should be strictly controlled, and all open accommodation establishments and commercial and freight passenger points should be inspected in a centralized manner, so as to prevent people from bringing thunder and fire into the city. Moreover, this measure must continue at least until the end of the wedding ceremony of the eldest prince, because only then is the time when it is most likely to use thunder fire to commit crimes.

Zhao Zongyang frowned tightly and thought for a while.

"Someone. After thinking about it, Zhao Zongyang seemed to have decided something.

"Your Majesty. An attendant pushed the door open and entered, bowing to the order.

"Please ask Shen Shangshu of the Military Department and Cai Shangshu of the Criminal Department to come and see me. Zhao Zongyang commanded.

"Yes. When the attendant received the order, he closed the door and gave the order.

The scholars are also very busy, and most of them can only come over after the morning notice. Especially if he wants the two Shangshu to come together today, it is estimated that these two will not be able to spare time in the morning, so Zhao Zongyang picked up the second book.

This recital is a recital sent by the southern border pass, and there is only one sentence on it.

Zhao Hongsheng has already entered the territory of Yanfeng.

Although Zhao Hongsheng was taken away since he was a child, this does not affect his identity as the prince of Yanfeng.

The second prince had already reported before, saying that he would come to attend Zhao Hongming's wedding ceremony, so his itinerary was not a very noteworthy thing.

Ke Zhao Zongyang still arranged manpower and asked to report Zhao Hongsheng's itinerary to him every three days.

Why? This is going to be said in the third part.

The third fold reads: Three people in the upper sixfold realm of the Yuanji Sect, three people in the upper sevenfold realm, two people in the upper eightfold realm, and one person in the upper ninefold realm, a total of nine masters, at the same time as Zhao Hongsheng set off, his whereabouts are unknown.

Yan Yonghan, the master of the Yuanji Sect, that is, Zhao Hongsheng's grandfather, was also the one who looked down on Zhao Zongtian back then, wanted to marry the girl to someone else and not marry him, and asked to take Zhao Hongsheng away after his death, and now he also arranged for the monkey-like "Boss Jia" to enter Beijing.

For this Yuanji Sect, who has been a "family in-law", the Yanfeng royal family has actually always been wary.

As a fairly large sect force on the mainland, the Yuanji Sect is in charge of a large piece of territory. And as a sect that started with martial arts, although they don't have an army in their hands, they have tens of thousands of disciples.

But the most powerful thing is the number of top players they have. Including Yan Yonghan, there are more than 20 masters of the Yuan Ji Sect alone, and more than 100 masters above the sixth level.

Although in the face of a large-scale war, even the masters of the upper nine are the opponents of tens of thousands of ironclad warriors. But in terms of deterrence on weekdays, basically no one in a lineup like Yuan Jizong dares to provoke them.

After all, the sect is not like a country, which has a reasonable operating system. In a sect like Yuanjizong, strength represents the system. The higher the realm, the more power of life and death is controlled. And the Yan family, as the head of the door, lives more like an emperor in their territory.

Of course, Yan Yonghan is not a fool, if their Yuanji Sect uses harsh rules to exploit people, then no one will want to survive in their territory, and no one will work and work for them. Therefore, in the territory of the Yuan Ji Sect, it can be regarded as a rule that has more "human nature".

But the highly centralized system of the sect is destined to cause them to rot from within. Especially the scum who appear in the Yan family, they often do some hurtful things.

Back then, Zhao Zongtian was in the hands of that unlucky killer organization, and he got the dossier that recorded the various events they had handled for Yuan Jizong over the years, and these things were as unclean as they were.

The people of the Yanfeng royal family had read some files back then, and since then they have been wary of Yuanjizong and Yan Yonghan, for fear that these guys will do something again, and they will find Yan Feng to ask them to wipe their butts. Later, when Yan Yonghan took Zhao Hongsheng away strongly, the Yanfeng royal family had a heart and sent someone to monitor the movements of this Yuan Ji Sect.

The Yan Feng royal family only guessed at that time that this Yan Yonghan was going to take Zhao Hongsheng away, and it was possible that he wanted to use him to do something to Yan Feng. In line with the attitude of preferring to believe what he has or not, Yan Feng has been monitoring the Yuan Ji Sect for more than ten years.

Finally, recently, they have made a move.

If it is said that the sudden disappearance of these nine masters of Yuan Jizong has nothing to do with Zhao Hongsheng's rush to the capital, then Zhao Zongyang will not be able to do it. Zhao Hongsheng has not left the Yuanji Sect for more than ten years, and this time he finally went back to the far door, but as a result, there were several masters in their sect.

How could it be such a coincidence.

Zhao Zongyang didn't know what bad water Yuanji Sect was holding back to the Yanfeng Imperial Family, but judging from the friendship between the two families over the years, it is estimated that Yan Yonghan of Yuanji Sect must be in an unfriendly attitude.

Yuan Jizong didn't look down on Yan Feng back then, so he didn't marry his daughter to Zhao Zongtian at all, but Zhao Zongtian still married his sweetheart after all his efforts, but the way he did things offended his father-in-law. Later, Zhao Zongtian's untimely death actually stimulated Yan Yonghan's daughter at once.

In any case, Yan Feng and Yuan Ji Sect are considered to have a feud, and with the fact that Yan Feng knows what things have hurt the heavens and reason in the past of Yuan Ji Sect, Zhao Zongyang is not surprised at all that he is hated by Yuan Ji Sect.

It's just that no matter what, the Yuan Ji Sect's side has not been revealed on the surface, so Yan Feng's side can only take some precautions.

In fact, Zhao Zongyang has also begun to wonder if the matter of extinguishing the Qi family's full door and taking away that pound of new-style thunder fire was done by Yuan Ji Zong.

Before returning to the bookcase, Zhao Zongyang picked up the pen and wrote some instructions for the contents of the last two recitals, and then called someone to send the two instructions.

After all this, it's not time for lunch. Zhao Zongyang stood up, rubbed his eyebrows and relaxed his head, and prepared to go back to the dormitory to see his two little girls.

Just as he was about to raise his foot and walk towards the door, he saw a head sticking out of the door.

"Daddy, do you have time?" Zhao Hongxing poked his head and asked with a smile.

"Something came in and said, what it looks like to stretch your neck. Zhao Zongyang felt that his eyebrows were rubbed just now, no matter how he looked at this son, he didn't have a girlfriend to look at comfortably.

"Daddy. Zhao Hongxing stepped in, and then said: "If you have time, let's go to the western suburbs camp again, and the 'Thunder Fire Bomb Reform' I commissioned Qi Huan to make has been completed." ”

As soon as Qi Huan was mentioned, Zhao Zongyang thought about his family that was wiped out in the northwest, and began to worry about how to tell Qi Huan about it.

"What's the matter, daddy?" Seeing Zhao Zongyang's rare sad face, Zhao Hongxing hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's okay. "It's useless to worry, I have to talk to Qi Huan about this sooner or later. In fact, Zhao Zongyang could have waited for the team of soldiers sent out to come back, and then asked the leading envoy to talk to Qi Huan, but now that Zhao Zongyang has got the news, he always feels bad in his heart.

"Daddy?" Zhao Hongxing poked his head over again and asked.

"Let's go, it just so happens that I still have something to do with Qi Huan. While walking out, Zhao Zongyang asked, "You kid entrusted someone else's master to make thunder bombs? Do you still know this?"

"When Daddy sees the real thing, he will know how good I am. Zhao Hongxing said mysteriously.

Looking at Zhao Hongxing's pretended mysterious virtue, Zhao Zongyang just wanted to kick him.
