Chapter 61: Cooperation with the Prince
Ma Chao met the prince, but after just a few greetings, the prince went straight to the topic. handed a whistle to Ma Chao to control the eagle, and Ma Chao said that the red-headed eagle was very obedient and didn't need this thing.
The prince stood with a smile and asked Ma Chao to take a closer look, and Ma Chao frowned.
Could it be? This whistle was given to King Zhen by Ma Chao, and King Yu handed it over to the emperor's old son, Jin Shizong, and now this whistle is in the hands of the prince. Ma Chao couldn't figure out what the hell Jin Shizong was doing? obviously trusts the prince very much, but he lets himself investigate the prince. The emperor's thoughts, Ma Chao really couldn't guess.
Seeing Ma Chao frowning and not speaking, the prince asked Ma Chao if he had seen this whistle, and Ma Chao did not hide it, so he admitted that he gave this whistle to King Yu. Ma Chao guessed that the prince knew a lot of things, but he didn't know that Jin Shizong asked King Yu and himself to investigate the prince's affairs. Ma Chao also said that he gave it to King Yu and came to the capital, only to know that in the capital, only the prince raised the eagle. deliberately embarrassed Mr. You and took the opportunity to approach the prince.
After speaking, Ma Chao saw that the prince was a little pensive, and he knew that he had guessed correctly. Apparently the prince still didn't believe in himself, and the prince asked, what did this whistle do? Give the king a chance to impeach himself.
King Yu is the seventh son of Jin Shizong, and in the hearts of the ministers, the only person who can compete with the crown prince is King Yu. However, in Ma Chao's heart, this King of Yu does not have that ability. Since the prince asked, Ma Chao simply said that someone rode the eagle to rob his friend, and the person who rode the eagle said something about the resurrection of Hailing.
The crown prince was silent when he heard this, King Hailing had been dead for more than twenty years, but this King Hailing was still a pimple in Jin Shizong's heart.
In fact, the prince knew all this, and he asked Ma Chao to see if Ma Chao trusted him and whether he was telling the truth. Now it seems that Ma Chao's sentence is true. The prince's tone changed, and he was not as aggressive as just now, so he asked Ma Chao what he was here for.
Ma Chao said that the old man Wang Bo wished to cancel the wedding between King Yu and the eldest lady, and even the prince felt troublesome. Because this marriage was decided by Jin Shizong. Although the Wang family is a family that breeds horses, after the armistice with the Southern Song Dynasty, there has been no war in recent years. However, Jin Shizong has a far-reaching vision, and he is accustomed to using this method of intermarriage to encompass these indispensable families.
The queen of King Yu is from the Tu Dan family, so when he is in trouble, he can find someone from the Tu Dan family in the Shen Zhou military camp to save him. Wang Ziwei, that is, Miss Wang, Sejong gave marriage, Wang Bo said that the eldest lady was young, and Sejong regressed and remarried after a year. Given the title of Lady Chin.
Now it seems that Wang Bo does not like this marriage. However, because of this matter, the prince was once again impressed by Ma Chao, and the prince thought that it was difficult to do, and Wang Bo actually handed it over to a horse doctor to do.
What is the identity of Ma Yi, humble and lowly, such a person, let alone a yellow wedding, it is impossible to get in front of him, but Wang Bo did it, and now it seems that Ma Chao has also done it step by step.
The prince thought that if King Zhen really helped King Yu impeach him, and King Zhen gained power, would he start his father and cancel the marriage. This is not a good strategy, but think about it from another angle, the prince thinks that if he were Ma Chao, would he be able to do it to this extent.
Thinking about it like this, the prince decided to look at Ma Chao from a different angle, so he said to Ma Chao very sincerely, it was just a temptation just now, and Ma Chao opened his eyes wide and pretended to be surprised. The prince smiled and said that he followed this whistle to check, because the prince raised carvings, so he was more familiar with the transaction of carvings, and some people did buy eagles in recent days, and this carving appeared in a Yizhuang in the northern suburbs of Yanjing.
The prince sent someone to check, there was no one in Yizhuang, there was a mass grave behind it, most of the tombs had no tombstones on the top, inquired, and someone from an insider said that the dead were some wandering people, afraid of the plague, so they were hurriedly buried in the mass grave.
Over time, there were too many dead people in that place, and later someone said that it was haunted, so they saw Yizhuang.
Ma Chao was quite scared, he was not an atheist, he had always believed in the legend of the ghost drift, and those two people had said that the resurrection of Hailing was originally a matter of the resurrection of the dead, and now he checked and found Yizhuang.
The prince sent someone to find out whether it was a haunting or someone secretly planning something, and the people sent there were no news for two days, and the prince informed the military department of the incident, and the people from the military department took it with them, and Yizhuang was empty, and nothing could be found.
Ma Chao said haha, about ghosts and gods, Ma Chao didn't want to get involved, but the prince was frank and honest, and even said that it was better to cooperate with King Yu. Although many ministers were impressed by King Yu, the prince said that he thought that King Yu was a person who was loyal and treacherous, and that he could make good use of anyone for his own interests.
Ma Chao was also happy, and said on the spot that he was willing to cooperate with the prince, and the two high-fived. However, Ma Chao didn't want to go to that Yizhuang, and the prince agreed.
……
A few days later, the prince passed Ma Chao again, and the prince and Ma Chao said that the Yizhuang had been investigated clearly, and there was a secret passage under the Yizhuang, which was about six or seven zhang deep, and led to the Cangyue Villa not far from the northern suburbs.
The prince sent two groups of people, both of whom are missing, and should be dead by now. Ma Chao said, it's quite simple, notify the military department, no matter who owns which Cangyue Villa? You can't stand in the way of the troops.
The prince smiled bitterly when he heard it, and said that there was no way for the Ministry of War, that Cangyue Villa belonged to the Privy Council, and the Privy Council was an extremely strict supervisory body, and the prince specifically asked the Privy Council, and the people in the Privy Council said that there was a file of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and it would definitely not be related to King Hailing. Besides, Cangyue Villa cannot be entered without the will of Jin Shizong.
The prince had no choice, so he personally approached Cangyue Villa, although the prince could not enter Cangyue Villa without a holy decree, but the prince had a treasure, called claireye, which could clearly show people and things in the distance.
Ma Chao was quite surprised, as soon as the prince described it, Ma Chao knew what the treasure the prince was talking about? That treasure is the telescope, I didn't expect that in this era of copper mirrors, the existence of telescopes is expected.
The prince said that the Privy Council clearly said that there was a file on the supervision of ministers, but the prince saw that there was a person locked inside, so Ma Chao asked who was in passing? The prince said that he was presumed to be Ma Chao's friend, and Ma Chao's eyes widened in shock.
The prince ordered someone to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the prince's danqing kung fu was first-class, and after a while, he drew the appearance of the man, who was chained and closed his eyes. Ma Chao looked at it, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and told the prince that this person was a horse pole.
