Chapter 187: Taken aback

After catching the head and going out, the old man took his granddaughter out, then closed the door and walked in front of Xia Wanyi.

"Zhang, meet the prince!" The old man suddenly knelt down to Xia Wanyi, catching Xia Wanyi off guard.

After being stunned for a while, Xia Wanyi helped the old man up: "Old man, are you looking at the wrong person?" ”

Xia Wanyi is a good thing to rely on.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and said, "It's not wrong!" Can't be wrong! Although the old man didn't go out much, his eyes were not blind. ”

"Oh?" Xia Wanyi became curious.

"You look a little like your father when he was younger."

"Oh, haha, the old man has a good memory." Xia Wanyi said with a smile.

The old man sighed softly and said, "Prince, don't hide it, the old man just said that 'the four princes are not simple', and the next sentence has not been said." ”

Xia Wanyi looked at the old man in amazement, and then hugged his fists and said, "The younger generation is stupid, please let the old man know." ”

"When the prince said this, he tormented the old man." The old man did not hide Xia Wanyi's kindness, "The next sentence is: 'Be careful that there is a tiger behind him!'" ’”

"And a tiger?" Xia Wanyi and Xuanyuan said in unison again.

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Thirty-five years ago, on the surface, it was the Xu Party that defeated the crown prince, but in fact, it was not. ”

Since the old man was the former prince thirty-five years ago, that is, Xia Wanyi's uncle's staff, then he knew a lot of the inside stories of the year, and these inside stories were not known much to Xia Wanyi and Xuanyuan Yu.

This is a politically sensitive issue, and no one will tell them except rumors.

Therefore, Xia Wanyi and Xuanyuan Yu pricked up their ears and sounded.

"When Xia Yonghe's crown prince was abolished, many people thought that Xia Yongxu was sitting on the throne of the prince, but the first emperor was slow to establish the prince, until two days before his death, he hurriedly summoned the civil and military ministers of the capital three grades and above to enter the palace, and announced that Xia Yongmei is the current emperor as the prince, so the biggest winner is not the Xu Party, nor the prince dang, but the emperor, and the two factions can only be said to be tied at best."

Xia Wanyi and Xuanyuan nodded slightly, listening to it with relish.

"However, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, prince, you are a wise man, you must understand what the old man said, right?" The old man looked at Xia Wanyi and asked.

Xia Wanyi frowned slightly, and her heart shook violently.

"This palace has never heard about the emperor's uncle's later affairs, I wonder if the old man knows?"

The old man shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know that a month before the prince was deposed, I happened to say goodbye to the prince because of the death of a relative in my family, and I came back to mourn without experiencing the last thing. ”

Xia Wanyi continued to ask, "Why did the Fourth Emperor Uncle hoard medicinal materials? ”

"Medicine is used to cure diseases, so why does he want these medicines, the old man guesses, it must be used to treat diseases, as for what kind of disease, the old man can't guess."

"But you don't need so many medicinal herbs!" Xuanyuan said, "And I have hoarded enough grain and grass for 100,000 people and horses to eat for a month!" ”

Xia Wanyi put her hands behind her back and said, "It seems that someone is going to Xucheng to investigate, and this matter must be reported to my father." ”

When night completely fell, Xia Wanyi and Xuanyuan Yu left Zhangjia Village, but left some officials behind, and sent some additional Imperial Forest Army to train the strong young people of the Zhang family to protect their homeland.

On the way, Xuanyuan asked, "Will the four princes rebel?" ”

Xia Wanyi had long known that this Fourth Emperor Uncle had secretly done a lot of unsightly things, not only won over many people who couldn't afford sugar-coated shells, but also carried out many assassinations against him.

"I expected it would be a matter of time before he rebelled."

"Prince, I think, we should strike first!"

"Over the years, the Four Emperor Uncles have secretly established a huge network of relationships, and the father doesn't know it, but he just turns a blind eye when he thinks of the brotherhood of brotherhood, and the Four Emperor Uncles don't do so much when the Qi Kingdom is not arguing with me in Great Xia."

"Presumably he was trying to fish in troubled waters."

Xia Wanyi nodded and said, "Very likely!" ”

Xuanyuan clenched his fists: "Then it should be preemptive." ”

Xia Wanyi said bitterly: "This palace also wants to strike preemptively and catch him off guard." ”

For people who don't take themselves in their eyes, Xia Wanyi feels that it is necessary not to put the other party in his eyes, not to mention that not only in his previous life but also now, he has been plotted by the other party a lot and almost lost his life.

"However, now that the relationship between Xia and Qi is tense, there are millions of soldiers on the border, although they have discussed and retreated, but they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens."

"There are still 50,000 people in the Imperial Forest Army in the capital, which can strike at Xucheng." Xuanyuan hugged his fists.

"What if there is a civil war and a foreign war follows?" Xia Wanyi asked.

Xuanyuan was stunned, but after a while, he said, "Why don't you do it secretly? ”

Xia Wanyi stopped her steps, looked at Xuanyuan Yu expressionlessly, and said after a long time: "Decapitation operation!" ”

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Xia Wanyi expectantly.

"Let's plan carefully when we close the unjust case of Song Jie and Zhao Ning."

"Yes!"

……

In the yamen.

As soon as Xia Wanyi entered the mansion, she saw two beautiful and delicious beauties standing in the courtyard, holding each other's hands and talking.

The two beauties turned their heads to look at Xia Wanyi at the same time.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan slipped away, leaving Xia Wanyi and the two beauties in the night.

And these two beauties, not Song Feifei and Zhao Xuanxuan, who are they?!

"When did Fei Fei arrive?" Xia Wanyi asked softly.

Song Feifei and Zhao Xuanxuan walked in front of Xia Wanyi.

"Just half an hour ago, I didn't expect Xuanxuan to be here, so after saying hello to the others, I came here with Xuanxuan to catch up." Song Feifei replied.

Zhao Xuanxuan wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I haven't seen each other for more than three years, as if we have endless words." ”

Xia Wanyi saw that the two of them had moist eyes, presumably it must have been pear blossoms with rain just now.

"So, am I bothering you?"

"Nope!" Song Feifei and Zhao Xuanxuan said at the same time.

"Oh, it's good if you don't!" In fact, Xia Wanyi was very afraid that Song Feifei would know his identity!

I'm afraid that Zhao Xuanxuan has already told her just now, and I'm afraid that Song Feifei will become an enemy with him in a fit of anger.

But Song Feifei said: "Thank you, Mr. Xia!" ”

After that, he knelt down in front of Xia Wanyi!

This kneeling startled Xia Wanyi.

Do you know?!

Isn't it?!

"Thank you Xia Gongzi for running around day and night for the affairs of our two families, thank you......" Xia Wanyi stepped forward and stretched out her finger against Song Feifei's mouth and covered her soft lips.
