Knowing that the Queen Mother had the intention to let Zhao Zongchu replace him, Emperor Yingzong did not dare to let people know about Zhongzhen's private departure from the capital, and the sense of crisis that would be replaced at any time was tormenting him all the time, and he himself knew that he had not been on the throne for a long time, and the foundation of the court was unstable, especially the Queen Mother's curtain must have ministers to support the Queen Mother, not to mention that the strike of the six imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory shook a lot in the court, at this time Yingzong was walking on thin ice, and his anxiety was also seen by a person, this person was the secretary in charge of the anthology, Cheng Qin Minxue,

Among the many officials in the court, Qin Minxue is one who is more familiar with Zhongzhen, firstly, Qin Minxue is also young but deeply appreciated by Yingzong, when Yingzong did not ascend the throne, Qin Minxue was a frequent visitor to Pudi; Second, Qin Minxue is in charge of the palace Chinese collection, usually Zhao Zhongzhen wants to see something, naturally will come to Qin Minxue, Zhao Zhongzhen does not come to borrow the anthology for a day, does not come for two or three days, or even three or five days does not come, Qin Minxue does not care too much, but if he does not come for ten days and half a month, Qin Minxue is a little strange, is it that Zhao Zhongzhen is sick, even if he is sick, there will be no news at all, he secretly visited the imperial pharmacy, and there is no record of the prince Zhao Zhongzhen's illness,

On this day, he took advantage of the opportunity of Yingzong to ask for classics, and sent the classics to the vertical arch hall, seeing that Yingzong had just returned from retreating, and was walking around in the room with an anxious look, Qin Minxue lightly put the classics that Yingzong wanted on the table, and asked cautiously tentatively: "The saint has troubles." ”

Yingzong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't stop worrying. At the moment, he was worried that there was no one to discuss, and when he saw Qin Minxue at a glance, he thought that although this person was young, he was capable of doing things and he had picked it up by himself, "By the way, you are also familiar with Zhong Zhen, where do you think he will go if he is not in the Ying Wangfu." ”

Qin Minxue was quite smart, and immediately guessed that the emperor was worried about Zhong Zhen's matter, and he thought from Yingzong's tone that Zhong Zhen must have disappeared, otherwise the emperor would not have asked like this: "Shengshang, if Zhong Zhen is still in the capital, then I think the officials who are familiar with him in the court will persuade him to return home." After he finished speaking, he stood with his head bowed, waiting for Yingzong's question,

"Then, if he is not in the capital, where will he go." Yingzong asked again,

"Not in the capital." Qin Minxue was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong, he couldn't help but look up at Yingzong, and saw Yingzong's face full of sadness and thought to himself that this was definitely not a joke, this matter could be a big deal: "If you go out of the capital, you can probably only visit relatives and friends, I don't think anyone has such courage to know that the prince left the capital and didn't send a letter back." ”

Zhao Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to himself, "Join relatives, visit friends, I'm afraid there is really a person in this world who has such courage, why didn't I expect it." ”

Qin Minxue looked at Zhao Shu suspiciously: "What the Holy Lord said is,." ”

"Who else can be so bold and friends with Zhong Zhen, only the king is next to him, alas, I thought Zhong Zhen went to Qin Feng Road with me in anger, and sent secret agents to look for him in that direction, why did he forget him in such a daze."

"Oh~, the saint is talking about him, but although the kid next to the king is bold, he and King Ying are close friends, I don't think he dares to harm King Ying, and King Ying will come back after he has played enough, it is better to send someone to pick up King Ying back, and then cure the sin next to the king so as not to startle the snake, he uses King Ying as a shield." Qin Minxue cautiously explained,

"How do you know, if Zhong Zhen doesn't come back soon, Zhao Hao is young, in case the Queen Mother urges him to ask about the crown prince, how can Zhao Hao compare with Zhao Zongchu."

It turns out that there is such a hidden situation here, Qin Minxue has a hunch that the matter is more serious, and now the emperor is not asking himself how to do it, he immediately bowed his head and was silent, after a silence in the hall, he only heard Yingzong sigh: "That matter can be delayed, it can be delayed, and it can't be discussed, no matter what, it is imperative to let Zhongzhen come back as soon as possible, Qin Minxue." ”

Hearing Yingzong call his name, Qin Minxue hurriedly said yes, Yingzong said: "If I make you the crown prince Zhan Shi, are you willing." ”

"How can there be no reason for being unwilling, my current secretary is the seventh grade, and the prince Zhan Shi is the sixth grade, I am promoted, and it is too late to be happy." Qin Minxue thought to himself, don't look at the official position, it is only one grade bigger, but this position is the official position of tutoring the prince, in case the prince ascends the throne one day, he can be promoted to young master, Taifu, the emperor's teacher, that is not ordinary,

"I don't seal it now, it's useless to seal it now, the prince doesn't stand up, I'll leave the matter of finding the needle to you first, you have to bring the needle back quietly and properly."

Qin Minxue hurriedly and happily received the order, knowing that this matter was not too difficult, and what made him even happier was that if Zhao Zhongzhen was really with Wang Bian as they expected, then Wang Bian really fell into his hands this time.

Qin Hui also has three good friends, not to mention Qin Hui's father Qin Minxue, when he left the capital, Qin Minxue went to say goodbye to his friends, Qin Minxue has a close friend, and his identity is also quite unusual, Xu Liang, who went to Gaoyou to be the county commander before, once invited Qin Minxue and his friends to a banquet in Jinxiu Building, this is Gao Gonghua, I heard that Qin Minxue was leaving the capital, looking at Qin Minxue's mysterious appearance, Gao Gonghua knew that Qin Minxue must have something important,

Gao Gonghua is the same age as Qin Minxue, although his identity is special, but he is a person who loves to inquire about things, seeing that Qin Minxue doesn't say what to do, Gao Gonghua is a little unhappy, how to say that the two are also good buddies, and Qin Minxue has people around him who want to be officials, Gao Gonghua uses his relationship with the queen's aunt and nephew to move left and right, and the silver is secondary, mainly in the officialdom network, with the cooperation of these two people, it is seamless, this kid has something to hide from himself, Gao Gonghua moved his crooked brain,

Qin Minxue was originally looking for Gao Gonghua to resign, but he was confused and let Gao Gonghua get drunk, and between the banquets, he told Gao Gonghua about finding Zhao Zhongzhen, and Gao Gonghua was also surprised, he and Zhongzhen are cousins, but he rarely interacts with Zhao Zhongzhen, he doesn't like Zhao Zhongzhen's scholarly anger, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhongzhen actually went out of the capital without permission, and this is also related to who will be the prince, Gao Gonghua's mind moved,

"Minxue, tell me, if you can't find Zhao Zhongzhen, or if he doesn't have time to come back, will the prince set up Zhao Hao?"

In all fairness, Gao Gonghua likes Zhao Hao the most, every time Zhao Hao sees him, his cousin is long and his cousin is short, but Zhao Hao is now underage, since Yingzong ascended the throne, Zhao Hao lives in the palace, and Gao Gonghua knows that his uncle Zhao Shu is a sick man, he can't help but think about it, if one day Yingzong kicks his legs, Zhao Hao is the prince, it must be Queen Gao's curtain, when the time comes, the world of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it the surname Gao,

"Zhao Hao is good, Zhao Hao is good" Gao Gonghua couldn't help but chatter, after all, the needle is big, he has an idea, and the idea is quite right,

Qin Min was dazed: "What do you say, the emperor can say it, when I find it, Zhao Zhongzhen will be crowned as my crown prince Zhan Shi."

Gao Gonghui knocked Qin Minxue's head with a fan: "I said Minxue, how confused are you, no matter who is the prince of your official position, you can do it, but if Zhao Zhongzhen becomes the prince, think about the relationship between him and the king, will you have a good life in the future." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qin Minxue suddenly woke up for most of the time, and he sat up straight in a daze: "Yes, then you mean, don't look for Zhao Zhongzhen to come back." ”

"Find, you must find, and you must find, the key is that if Zhao Zhongzhen can't come back, then the king can't get rid of it, not to mention that Zhao Hao is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, I think the emperor's body, it may not be able to wait until Zhao Hao becomes an adult, if the crown prince is Zhao Hao, then it will be my aunt who will hang the curtain in the future, at that time, can't we call the wind and rain, this is called killing three birds with one stone, do you understand."

Qin Minxue looked at Gao Gonghua blankly, and smirked a few times: "I think I can do things enough, how can you be better than me, that's your cousin"

"Cut, what's wrong with my cousin, don't talk about cousins, even my own brothers have candlelight axes." Gao Gonghua said disdainfully,

Qin Minxue laughed, these two people had already drunk enough, he raised his glass and still toasted and said: "Brother Gao is right, this old Zhao family has this tradition, candlelight and axe shadow, this is the Zhao family's great Song Jiangshan unsolvable mystery." ”

Gao Gonghui also said drunkly, "Well, I heard that when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was dying, he sent someone to summon his son Zhao Defang into the palace, but it was his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi ordered the palace maid eunuch to retreat and accompany Zhao Kuangyin alone, the palace maid and eunuch saw Zhao Kuangyin's candlelight swaying in the palace, and there was the sound of the axe handle hitting the ground, and later, of course, the emperor was Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, anyway, this is the way things are in this world, the amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, you officials are not on the right team, pointed to the triennial inspection and slowly promoted to the top of the ranks, when will it be over. ”

"Okay, this matter, I think about it, anyway, I can't be cheap next to the king." Qin Min learned that the two clinked glasses again,

The next day, Qin Min learned out of the capital, he ran all the way to Shaozhou, this way can make him tired, and he was also a little worried when he arrived in Shaozhou, he only knew that Wang Bian went to Guangnan, and he also knew that Wang Bian was bound to find Nan Jifeng, and now he entered the Guangnan realm He was worried, how to not alarm Wang Bian, quietly brought back Zhao Zhongzhen, he remembered Gao Gong's words, if he brought back Zhao Zhongzhen, then he would be sure that his life would not be so good in the future,

On this day, Qin Minxue was taking care of his bags, preparing to walk south again, and the entourage came back to report, as if he saw a team of people, one of them was very similar to the king, Qin Minxue heard it, and immediately ran out of the mansion, the team of people no longer knew where to go, he immediately arranged to ask at the gate of the city, and the entourage came back and reported that this team of people had not yet left Shaozhou City,

As long as you find them, Qin Minxue was secretly happy, and when he returned to the mansion, he thought in his heart, but he didn't have a clue, he pushed open the window in boredom, and a deep mansion compound not far away came into his eyes, what kind of place is that, there is such a big mansion in Shaozhou City, and he sent someone to inquire at the moment, and he didn't follow him back and reported: "Qin Cheng, that is the palace of Handong County." ”
