When I returned to Xingyuan from Min County, the sky had gradually darkened, and it was extremely common for the south to be rainy and wet.

Standing in front of the window and watching the drizzle, Ye Yu sighed slightly, and then sat back at the desk, ready to pick up the book that he had read many times.

And just as he stretched out his hand to flip through the books, he suddenly found that there were traces of someone moving on the table.

His hand stayed in the air above the book for a moment, then clenched into a fist, lightly pounded on the writing, and said to himself in a strange tone: "I really don't know whether to live or die......"

After saying this, Ye Yu did not alarm anyone, but calmed down the complicated feelings in his heart, and then slowly opened the pages of the book and looked at the inconspicuous one.

In Fuzhou, Ye Yu's only place where he was familiar with the old man Pan had been recommended by him to Shaoxing as the prefect.

In fact, Ye Yu knew very well in his heart that after experiencing the fraud in the imperial examination, Zhao Zhuo, the king of fortune, would definitely not let go of Pan's place. Of course, if he stayed in Fuzhou for a day, King Zhao Zhuo would not dare to make a move if he was afraid of three points.

But he has to return to Beijing after all, and it is impossible to protect Pan's place in Fuzhou for the rest of his life.

Therefore, before returning to Beijing, Ye Yu recommended Pan's place to the imperial court as a secretary. And now there is no candidate for the post of Shaoxing prefect, and Pan Zhisuo can take office immediately!

The departure of Pan Zhishu has left this Nuoda Fuzhou without people he Ye Yu is familiar with. So Ye Yu decided to wait for Zhao Yi's wedding, which was the time for him to return to Beijing to resume his life.

Ye Yu's leisurely and elegant life these days has allowed Fu Wang Zhao Zhuo's hanging heart to let go a little, as long as Ye Yu does not find the root cause and investigate, then the matter of his private weaponry will not be exposed.

But when he listened to Zhong Tiguo's reply, his relaxed nerves began to tense again, and he knew that what Ye Yu said when he was inspecting Haiphong was a kind of heart-wrenching temptation.

Regardless of whether this temptation was benign or malicious, it all said one thing, that is, Ye Yu had obviously seen his inner intentions.

In the study of the palace, Zhao Zhuo lowered his head and was silent, his short and thick fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and the continuous tapping of four fingers was like a horse's hooves galloping.

"Lord Wang, what is the purpose of saying this Ye Yu in Haiphong?" Zhong Yiguo, the commander of coastal defense, sat aside and asked with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Zhuo did not respond, but Shi Zhengzhi immediately spoke: "In Shi's opinion, this Ye Yu is nothing more than knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, making us feel uneasy, and then revealing the horse's feet!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and Zhao Zhuo raised his head and looked at the two: "Although what Masaji said is reasonable, it is not comprehensive......"

"Please also ask the prince to make it clear!"

"This Ye Yu said such heart-wrenching words, with the intention of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but more importantly, he is conveying a message to this king, that is, he already knows the secret intentions of this king!"

As soon as Zhao Zhuo's words came out, Zhong Yiguo and Shi Zhengzhi looked surprised.

Zhao Zhuo immediately waved his hand and interrupted the two who were about to speak: "Actually, his words are also hinting at this king, if the military lineup of the Haishui Army is now concerned by the ministers of the court, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuo sighed slightly and said, "It seems that this king is self-defeating, and he didn't even think of this layer of ......."

In order to cope with the inspection of Ye Yu, the minister of the Imperial Mission, whether it is government affairs or the Military Commission, Zhao Zhuo has already made preparations in advance.

Especially in the military affairs of coastal defense, in order to let Ye Yu see the military appearance and strict military discipline of Fuzhou coastal defense, he also deliberately asked the commander Zhong Yiguo to make a lot of preparations.

But he just ignored what Ye Yu said, the prosperity of the army is a good thing, and it is also the credit of the local military governor to fulfill his duties. But there is an accurate saying in officialdom: if you do well, you may not get the remuneration you deserve.

Good intentions do bad things, that's the simple truth.

Zhao Zhuo's move made Ye Yu see his excellent military achievements, but thinking about it the other way around, it was a potential threat.

Especially now that Lin'an is located at the mouth of the Haihe River in Hangzhou, if this team with a rainbow of morale goes directly north from the East China Sea, then it can drive straight into Lin'an.

And he, Zhao Zhuo, grasped the coastal defense military affairs so cautiously, in fact, he also had this kind of potential in the first place!

Fu King Zhao Zhuo had this intention, and the emperor Zhao Yan, who was far away in the capital, also had this concern, so regarding the coastal defense inspection of Fuzhou, he specially sent Ye Yu to inspect.

"It seems that this Ye Yu is not going to be an enemy of the prince, otherwise with this person's calmness, he would never say such reckless words......"

As soon as Zhong Yiguo's voice fell, King Fu Zhao Zhuo nodded and said: "This kid also knows that he is not safe in Fuzhou, so he throws out this sentence, which is both a compromise and an intentional delay!" ”

"What the prince said is very true, then we ......"

"The crux of this matter lies in the marriage, but it's a pity that this kid deliberately avoided and did not respond positively, otherwise this king would not have to worry so much!"

When King Fu Zhao Zhuo thought of that ambiguous holy decree, he felt very depressed in his heart. He didn't expect that the current emperor would play a little trick with him.

Now that the will to marry has been made, there is no specific restriction on the marriage period, it is not good to restrain Ye Yu.

Zhong Yiguo hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Please forgive me for being blunt, the prince must not pin his hopes on marriage, in case this Ye Yu is ......"

"Are you worried that he's going to spoil our big deal?"

"Yes, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, it is better to secretly lay an ambush in the lowly position, and when this person leaves Fuzhou, he will be killed on the way back to Beijing!"

Zhong Yiguo's analysis is indeed very reasonable, and it seems to be very feasible!

But Zhao Zhuo immediately vetoed: "It shouldn't be, this marriage was mentioned by this king himself, not His Majesty's intention to give marriage!" Besides, on the day of his birthday, you have all seen that this kid is extremely reluctant to give marriage! ”

"It is feasible to leave Fuzhou and then exterminate the mouth, but the death of Qin Cha will inevitably shock the government and the opposition, and then all the prefectures in eastern Zhejiang will enter the field of vision of the imperial court, so will we have to compensate for the loss at that time?"

"This ......"

"Rest assured, as long as this king can hold it in his hands, he can control it in his hands! Don't forget, this son is not only a talent, but also has a high prestige among the scholars, and if anything goes wrong with him, the impact will be more than just a gust of wind! ”

"But the prince also said that Ye Yu is so ignorant......"

Zhao Zhuo waved his hand and smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, this king has his own way!" ”

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and Ye Yu prepared another congratulatory gift, preparing to attend the wedding of Zhao Yi and Yue Sanniang.

Ye Yu calculated before and after, Xindao is really a big event this September, the beginning of September is the autumn release list, and the middle of the year is the birthday of Zhao Zhuo, the king of fortune, which will not stop at the end of September, and he will go to drink Zhao Yi's happy wine.

However, the major events in this September are far more than these, just the night before Zhao Yi's wedding, the prince died in the palace without warning.

This sudden incident shook the entire city of Fuzhou for a while. The groom died the day before the wedding, and this kind of thing happened very strangely, and it is easy to think of the unusual!

When Ye Yu heard the news and rushed to the palace, Shi Zhengzhi had already sent the state government officials to control the scene. I learned from the mouth of the government official that this Zhao Yi was stabbed in the heart in the room and died!

This phenomenon is very strange, because the palace is heavily guarded, and the hidden organs are not known to outsiders.

Therefore, if a murderer sneaks into the palace without knowing it, and assassinates Zhao Yi in the room without warning, this situation will not exist at all.

In the room where the crime occurred, there was no trace of the murderer, which made Ye Yu feel extremely confused, who was this murderer, and he had such extraordinary abilities?

But this investigation is not Ye Yu's specialty, and it is not his own job, so he only came to visit out of concern. Seeing that King Fu, who used to smile and welcome people, is now much older in an instant, Ye Yu suddenly felt a trace of sympathy.

The pain of losing a child in old age is the tragedy that a person does not want to see in the second half of his life!

The palace was covered with a layer of haze, which made Ye Yu a little breathless. Since he couldn't help much in the palace, he comforted Zhao Zhuo, the king of fortune, and drove away from the palace in a daze.

Although this Zhao Yi did not embarrass him, but after all, this is just a battle of will, and there is no deep hatred!

Moreover, most of the sons of the family, princes and grandsons are arrogant and chronic like Zhao Yi, so he has no resentment towards Zhao Yi's several troubles.

Now this living young man died for no reason, which will inevitably make him feel sad.

Originally, after attending Zhao Yi's wedding, he was ready to return to Beijing to resume his life, but now it seems that he has to press the date of returning to Beijing.

Because if you leave at this time, you will be criticized by bad people!

After all, he and Zhao Yi once had some contradictions, and this kind of trivial matter that is not painful or itching, if it is rumored by some bad people, and he leaves Fuzhou at this time, it will inevitably fall into the mouth.

Besides, Ye Yu also wants to know, how did this Zhao Yi die? What kind of person can sneak into and kill people in the heavily guarded palace!

Half a month has passed like this, but there is still no progress in Zhao Yi's case, which makes Zhao Zhuo, who is deeply affected by the loss of his son, angry, and Shi Zhengzhi will do his best to find out the murderer, otherwise he will bear the consequences!

On the boundary of Fuzhou, except for the general judgment, which is directly appointed by the emperor, the rest of the prefect and the governor of the prefecture and the magistrate of the county are all decided by King Fu alone.

This is the prerogative of the vassal king, and military and political affairs can be ruled alone. The power is far greater than that of Li Dao, the envoy of Yizhou Jiedu.

Under this heavy pressure, Shi Zhengzhi was well aware of the consequences of this matter. After repeated surveys to no avail, he personally went to Xingyuan to visit Ye Yu.
