"Brother Wang, I heard that there was a fire in Yongchang Mausoleum?" Zhao Zhao hurriedly came to find Zhao Zongsheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, there was a fire at the Upper East Gate, and it spread into the pine forest!"

"That's about to put out the fire!"

"Someone has been sent!"

Zhao Zhao frowned, puzzled: "Why are there so many people here?" ”

"Ahh Zhao Zongsheng said: "I sent two thousand people to go, and there are one thousand people left here to protect King Qin!" ”

"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Zhao asked rhetorically: "The fire in the Taizu Mausoleum is so serious, you and I still have the heart to watch the fire here from the Mausoleum?" Let's go, take everyone with you to put out the fire. ”

Zhao Zongsheng hurriedly dissuaded: "The fire is dangerous, King Qin should not go to the danger, and the situation is unknown, I don't know why the fire started, it is not safe everywhere, it is better to stay here." ”

"What words? Is there a fire in front of you, turning a blind eye? Taizu's mausoleum was disturbed by the fire, and as a descendant, he didn't think about timely rescue, so what was it to blindly dodge? Zhao Zhao was furious, and regardless of Zhao Zongsheng's obstruction, he rushed towards Yongchang Mausoleum with his own soldiers.

Zhao Zongsheng can't stop it at all, and he can't stop it!

He and Zhao Zhao are both princes, and although they are older, the status of King Qin is more respectful and powerful. Moreover, now that he is ostensibly a member of the royal family, he cannot use coercive means to stop Zhao Zhao. What's more, they went to Yongchang Mausoleum to put out the fire, and the words were very serious. As a descendant of the Zhao family, if you don't act, you should be charged with unfilial piety.

Zhao Zhao has already gone, he must follow immediately, and in such a chaotic situation now, he must be kept an eye on, this is the easiest time to escape by taking advantage of the chaos.

When I arrived at Yongchang Mausoleum, I found that the situation was a little bad. The fire was worse than expected, and it was not easy to extinguish.

Zhao Zhao frowned when he saw the soldier carrying the bucket, hurriedly found the Yongan County Order, and said angrily: "Is it too late to just splash water at this time?" ”

"Please ask the King of Qin to command!"

"Quickly, tear down all the houses connected to the Upper East Gate to stop the fire from spreading to other palaces." Zhao Zhao said: "There is." Mobilize most of the people to cut wood, and the forest fire cannot be extinguished, and only by cutting off the source of the fire can it prevent it from spreading. ”

"Yes!"

When Zhao Zongsheng arrived, he saw Zhao Zhao commanding the fire in an orderly manner. He is a pampered prince, and he is not proficient in this kind of contingency command, and he is not as good as Zhao Zhao, who has been in the army for many years. Looking at how orderly and calm people are, you can imagine Zhao Zhao's situation on the battlefield. It is no wonder that people can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat Tubo and Western Xia.

this night. All the soldiers were in a hurry. Lumbering. Splash water and fight fires. Zhao Zhao, King of Qin, commanded on the spot. Methodical and organized. The Yongan County Commander, as well as the soldiers of the garrison, all praised and admired King Qin. It was Pu Wang Zhao Zongsheng. Standing aside doesn't help, and it's still in the way everywhere.

Especially wherever King Qin went, he took him with him, which directly affected the order of firefighting at the scene. Zhao Zongsheng has his own troubles, Zhao Ji has a strict order, Zhao Zhao must be watched, this situation tonight, especially pay attention.

It's just that the scene is messy, and the soldiers fighting the fire come and go. The scope involved is also large, Zhao Zhao walked back and forth, not stopping at all. Zhao Zongsheng was able to follow closely at first, and gradually distanced himself. Walking past a place, the soldier happened to carry the felled tree through. Nearby tunnels were being dug to stop the spread of the fire, and Zhao Zongsheng and his men were temporarily blocked.

By the time they caught up again, Zhao Zhao had disappeared, and Zhao Zongsheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his heartbeat accelerated.

"Hurry up and find King Qin and protect him!" Zhao Zongsheng was furious and hurriedly sent people out to look for him. I was worried in my heart, Zhao Zhao was also gone, how could I explain to the emperor's nephew?

"Oh no, there are assassins!" In the distance, someone shouted.

Zhao Zongsheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly led people over, and saw several corpses on the ground, and a few soldiers standing beside him.

"What's going on?"

The soldier replied, "Just now, a few assassins suddenly came out to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

"What about the King of Qin?" Zhao Zongsheng hurriedly asked, looking panicked.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has led people to pursue the assassins!"

Zhao Zongsheng chuckled in his heart, what is chasing the assassin, I am afraid that he has already fled. Half an hour later, the fire was extinguished, and the soldiers he sent would also come, and Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, was missing.

Finished!

Zhao Zongsheng sat on the ground with his buttocks, his heart was cold, and the Yong'an County Commander came to comfort: "King Pu doesn't have to worry, His Royal Highness King Qin is going to pursue the assassins, King Qin is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely return safely...... Speaking of which, the weapons used by those assassins were very similar to those of the Western Xia ......"

Zhao Zongsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, worried? What is there to worry about? If Zhao Zhaozhen was assassinated, he would definitely be happy in his heart. But will it? He is brave and good at fighting, but as long as he is gone, can he come back? The Assassin was a Tangut? How could it be such a coincidence? Zhao Zhao's chase happened to be a logical chase to the northwest.

This drudgery was finally messed up, and when I returned to Bianjing, it would definitely be a storm of insults and reproaches, and I couldn't give an account to the emperor's son!

Zhao Zongsheng was distressed, for the sake of today's plan, the pursuit was needed. But more importantly, interception, Yong'an is Luoyang to the west, and to Chang'an must pass through Luoyang, and now it may be too late to intercept.

Zhao Zongsheng got up and immediately flew pigeons to pass the book, and at the same time sent Pegasus to Luoyang City to send a message to Wang Gui, who stayed in Xijing. Now the only hope is in him, hoping to stop Zhao Zhao.

Luoyang City, perhaps because of the hot weather, Wang Gui could not sleep. Even if he came to take office in a hurry and took over the affairs of Luoyang, he worked hard for many days. The body is very tired, but the spirit is highly stressed.

In the past two years, Wang Gui's luck has not been very good, to be precise, since the official Zhao Ji ascended the throne, it has been the case for the past five or six years. At that time, he was the governor of Kaifeng, but he was killed by the envoys of the Liao State, and the relationship between the two countries was tense, and he finally made a fuss. finally became a political counselor, but Wang Anshi presided over the law change, and he was completely hollowed out.

In the past few years, there have been great achievements. Last year, I finally had the opportunity to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, which was a feudal official, although the responsibility was heavy, but he was a high authority.

It's a pity that he was replaced by Zhao Zhao before he took office, and he was appointed to the position of envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui. Although the position is not low, and the face is passable, it is a joke after all.

This time, the official family suddenly issued an order to transfer himself to Xijing to stay in Luoyang. Wang Guiren is old and refined, and he can see the key at a glance. Before leaving, the official family also specially summoned himself to the palace to hint at it, in fact, needless to say, he knew it in his heart.

Now this Xijing is left behind, which can be described as a great responsibility.

The short-term goal is to prevent the King of Qin from slipping away to Chang'an; The long-term goal, if the King of Qin arrives in Chang'an, he will be responsible for the defense of Guanzhong. What a thankless chore! Wang Gui felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

As an old minister who had served as deputy prime minister, Wang Gui naturally understood the struggle that existed between the official family and the king of Qin today. One day in the future, it is inevitable to take sides. Those who remain neutral are either highly respected and capable, and will be courteous and respectful to whoever is in power; Either they are soft-spoken, and there is no need to win them over.

Wang Gui felt that he was not so detached, but he was not so incompetent, and he was somewhere in between. It is necessary to take sides, but on which side?

The attitude of his son Wang Zhongyu is on the side of the official family. The reason is obvious, the position of Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy was snatched away by Zhao Zhao, so the Wang family is embarrassed. This time the Northwest War was a great victory, and Zhao Zhao gained great prestige and merit for this. Wang Zhongyu believes that these should have belonged to his father Wang Gui and belonged to their Wang family.

Wang Gui shook his head gently, where is the matter so simple? In the Northwest War, will you be able to win if you change yourself? Zhao Zhao's military talent is undeniable, and this kind of thing cannot be generalized. He knew that the relationship between his son and Zhao Zhao in the past was not harmonious, and there were even some small contradictions. When the envoys of the Liao State were killed, Zhao Zhao really made his face look bad.

But so what? In this case, is it necessary to stand on the opposite side of King Qin? Wang Zhongyu believes that Zhao Ji is a current official family, with a deep foundation and a good name, it is rare to be so important to the Wang family, so he naturally must be loyal and swear allegiance. Although King Qin's strength is not bad, can he get sick and rebel?

Wang Gui was funny in his heart, did Zhao Ji really value himself? can have the opportunity to stay in Luoyang, I'm afraid it's largely because I have a holiday with Zhao Zhao, right? Zhao Ji sees himself as his own because of this. As for whether King Qin rebelled, it's hard to say. The victor is the prince and the loser is Kou, who wins has the final say. After all, Zhao Zhao is the biological son of Emperor Renzong, and he is qualified to inherit the throne. The word rebellion may not be able to settle on him.

So, this matter needs to be carefully considered. Wang Gui is a sane man, at least he doesn't want to be too early to take a clear attitude, so that he has no choice. Of course, the two ends of the first rat are not suitable. It's really hard to do, it's very embarrassing!

At the moment, Zhao Ji is the emperor, and he has the final say on everything, but it will be difficult to say in the future. It's not easy to be safe and comfortable now and in the future! No matter who you are, no matter how capable you are and how good you are at dancing, you also need to be cautious.

The current situation, like the weather tonight, is oppressive and heavy, making it difficult to breathe smoothly. When Wang Gui couldn't sleep, his son Wang Zhongyu hurried over and said, "Father, Pu Wang Feige passed the book, Yongchang Mausoleum was on fire, and Zhao Zhao disappeared while fighting the fire...... Said it was chasing the assassins, but ...... King Pu told his father to be careful! ”

"Really?" Wang Gui couldn't help but smile bitterly, the first problem came.

The father and son of the Wang family had just ordered all the men and horses to prepare to set out, and the Luoyang master came in a hurry and reported: "Lord Wang, it's not good, I found a cavalry coming from the west, less than twenty miles away from Luoyang!" ”
