On September 14, the twenty-fifth year of Wuwei, the emperor issued an edict for autumn hunting, and the change will start.

- "Yongshi; Gaozu Benji

Jiang Haitao looked at Jiang Zhe with reverence, he knew the weight of this person very well, he had been recuperating in the guest house since these days, but Princess Yong often came to visit him, and couldn't help but say something to him, and Jiang Haitao was most curious about this sick and weak young man who would die almost at any time. Obviously, he was going to be unable to protect himself, but he saved his surname, and he heard that his cousin King Yong could be said to be obedient to him, so Jiang Haitao entered the cold garden with the reason of thanking him in person. As soon as he entered the Cold Garden, Jiang Haitao knew that King Yong really attached great importance to this Lord Jiang, and the strict guards of the Cold Garden were probably better than the guards around King Yong.

I smiled and looked at this young man, not very old, with childishness on his face, a pair of clear eyes that people could immediately see through his thoughts, such a bright young man, I couldn't help but have a good impression, but at the same time, doubts also arise, as the only son of the Hou of the East China Sea, how could there be such a pair of eyes. After thinking about it for a while, I asked skillfully: "The little marquis is a general, and he must have been in a deep water battle, so he didn't come here to borrow my collection of "Ocean Atlas", right?" ”

I asked this question cleverly, "Ocean Atlas" is just an esoteric and difficult to understand book for ordinary people, but for Jiang, who is good at water warfare and shipbuilding, it is hard to find, this book has been scattered among the people, but before I won the first place, I inadvertently got half of the fragments, for me, this precious unique book is hard to find, after I entered the Hanlin Academy, from the vast classics of the Hanlin Academy, collected some fragments, with their own knowledge and the basis of extensive books, I repaired this book completely, and when I dedicated this book to the Southern Chu court, no one paid attention to it, but it was sent to the Chongwen Hall as a single book. Originally, this book was like a pearl buried by loess, and it never came out again. But when Dayong renegotiated peace, King Yong once asked Nanchu to present the classics, this "Ocean Atlas" also returned to my hands, I have a deep feeling for this book, so I left it, somehow, King Yong has a "Ocean Atlas" in his hand The news spread, and the news that King Yong rewarded me with this book was also known, there are still a lot of people of insight in Dayong, there were many people who wanted to see it, but because I have never seen outsiders, I can't start, If Jiang Yong, who defeated the East China Sea and therefore called himself the Marquis of the East China Sea, is really as proficient in water warfare as the intelligence says, and has far-reaching vision, then this "Ocean Atlas" can not be mentioned by him, if Jiang Xiaohou knows this book, then it means that Jiang Yong attaches great importance to this beloved son, then the appearance of this young man is false, if he doesn't know at all, unless this son is unbearable, otherwise it is Jiang Marquis who indulges his beloved son, But I think this young man is innocent, with excellent qualifications, like a golden jade, and I am afraid that these two reasons are hard for me to believe.

Jiang Haitao stood up and said excitedly: "Ocean Atlas, I have heard my father say it many times, and my father sighed and said, but unfortunately I can't see it with my own eyes." Will you really lend it to me? His expression was excited, the look of a young man when he saw his beloved, but he looked more and more unpretentious. I was curious in my heart, what kind of person this little marquis Jiang was, so I said: "Dong Que, you go and bring my "Ocean Atlas". ”

After a while, I took the copy of "Atlas of the Ocean" that I re-copied and compiled, and after I handed it to Jiang Haitao, I said with a smile: "But I can't lend it to you for nothing, after you finish reading an article, I want to ask you some questions, if you answer well, I will allow you to continue reading, if you can't answer, you are not allowed to read it again." ”

Jiang Haitao said calmly: "Although Haitao is young, he has followed his father all the year round, although some things are not very clear, but he can also know a little bit about them, as long as Lord Jiang doesn't ask too hard, Haitao is confident that he can answer." ”

I smiled and said, "Naturally, I won't deliberately embarrass you." Saying that, he motioned to Dong Que to take out the book and put it on the bookcase, Jiang Haitao knew that he could not read this kind of precious book in person, so he moved a chair and sat in front of the bookcase, and Dong Que stood aside to turn the pages for him.

After he had finished reading one, I asked him a few questions, and he answered them fluently, some of the questions were shallow, but they were already very prominent for his age, and I was particularly surprised that when I was revising the book, there were many missing contents, and although I had added the contents of other maritime texts, there were still many uncertainties, and in those places I indicated in the marginal notes where I had obtained this opinion, and several other opinions and my final judgments, I deliberately asked him about these places, and he had his own unique opinions, some of which were obviously more correct than mine. In the next few days, he and I had a lot of fun asking each other.

In the end, in addition to getting Jiang Haitao to be a natural commander of the naval army, I also came to a conclusion that he is a straight man who doesn't care much about anything except water, if he drives a boat to sea or fights on the water, he is definitely a good general, but for other things, you still don't have to count on him, thinking about Jiang Yong, he must be both relieved and distressed. Smiling slightly, I wrote a short letter for Dong Que to collect, Dong Que slowly put it away, these days, I gave him several short letters, but Dong Que is a smart person, he didn't read a single one, and he didn't ask me what I was going to do.

On this day, I was admiring chrysanthemums in the garden, and Li Zhen, the king of Yong, came to me and said in a deep voice: "Suiyun, now the situation is on the verge of breaking out." ”

I smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Li Zhen said: "My father announced that he would go to the hunting palace to hold an autumn hunt, and the royal family in Beijing would participate, and the king of Qi wrote to complain about his illness, but his father asked him to go with his illness." ”

I said thoughtfully: "It seems that the emperor is also very careful, I don't know why the emperor held an autumn hunt?" ”

Li Zhen sighed and said: "A lot of trivial things have happened in the past few days, it's really hard to explain, this king originally thought that there was no need to bother with Suiyun, but now it seems that I have to work hard for you." ”

I said solemnly: "Your Highness loves Zhe so much, if Zhe can't serve His Highness at a critical time, wouldn't it be a disappointment, please speak up to Your Highness." ”

Li Zhen sighed and told me about the situation in the past few days.

Since I fell ill on the third day of the ninth month, during my recuperation, King Qi only made small moves at the beginning, but King Yong was a military strategist, and it didn't take long to find out that the only purpose of King Qi's army was to prepare for an ambush.

Today, Li Yuan issued an edict to hold an autumn hunt, this time accompanied by the forbidden army of 20,000 people, led by Qin Yi, the general of Qin, of which a total of 10,000 people belonged to the eastern camp of the forbidden army, with Qin Qing as the orthodox leader, the two deputy commanders Huang Xia and Sun Ding divided 5,000 people, and the southern camp of the forbidden army was 5,000 people, led by the commander Yang Qian and the deputy commander Hu Yanjiu, and the northern camp of the forbidden army was 5,000 people, and the orthodox leader Pei Yun and the deputy commander Xiahou Yuanfeng will be entourage. In addition, Queen Dou, Ji Guifei, Changsun Guifei, Yan Guifei, Changle Princess Li Zhen, Jingjiang Princess Li Hanyou will all accompany the car, in Beijing is the prime minister Wei Guan and the injured servant Zheng Fang, responsible for the safety of Beijing is the commander of the forbidden army Xiying Tan Yi, and the ministers are innumerable, among which it is worth my attention is Wei Guogong Cheng Shu, Qi Princess Qin Zheng's father Zhongshu Shilang Qin Wuji, Wei Ying, who has just entered Zhongshu Province, and the prince young Fu Lu Jingzhong.

This is not counting, the emperor edict this time King Yong and King Qi can only bring a hundred guards, during the autumn hunt, everything is done by military orders, Fuyuan General Qin Yi is the commander, it seems that the emperor already knows the current tension.

After the king of Qi wrote a letter to excuse his entourage, the army of the king of Qi stopped moving, but the king of Yong judged that these troops could travel hundreds of miles in a hurry as long as they could travel a hundred miles overnight, and they could ambush the emperor's holy car on the way back to Beijing, and the reason for the king of Qi to transfer the army was very good. Of course, King Yong has also made preparations and can block King Qi's army at any time, but in this way, it will inevitably lead to a big war.

But what puzzled King Yong and his subordinate generals was why the King of Qi would agree to accompany him, so that absolutely no one could command the army of King Qi to attack the Holy Driver.

I looked at the information in my hand, and I couldn't help frowning, I could think of such a result. Just ago, King Yong sent a secret letter to General Qin, informing Li Hanyou that his background was suspicious, although no evidence was shown, but Li Hanyou was indeed separated since childhood, and was later sent back to Jingjiang Wangfu by Fengyimen, in this way, at least it will make General Qin suspicious, some things, rather believe it, not believe it, I already know the effect, as soon as the letter arrived at the General's Mansion, Cheng Shu was invited over, and then Qin Yong was also summoned, although I don't know what they discussed, However, Qin Yong had already rushed to the army of General Qin, and in fact, during the autumn hunt, the army under Qin Yi's control was under Qin Yong's control. I didn't expect them to believe it, I just put them on guard, which was beyond my expectations.

In addition, just yesterday, the East Palace attendant Shao Hanlin's wife Huo Shi committed suicide, and then overnight, the prince's wife, the news of his suicide in shame spread throughout the city, although it was just a street talk, but compared with what the prince did in the past, everyone believed it, although the emperor may not know yet, but after the autumn hunt, it is absolutely impossible to hide, so if the prince can't force the palace during the autumn hunt, then I'm afraid the fate of being abolished has been difficult to change.

I sighed, although the prince was forced to rebel by me, why is the layout of Fengyi Gate so strange?

I originally thought that Fengyimen would arrange for King Qi's army to suddenly break into the emperor's palace, after all, the 20,000 forbidden army prince and Fengyimen can control at least part of it, and the inside and outside should be combined to attack suddenly, my plan is to let General Qin find the abnormality "in time", and then set a trap, once those King Qi's army arrives, with General Qin and King Yong, no matter what King Qi does, we can control the situation, and then with the cooperation of the masters of each faction, eradicate Fengyimen in one fell swoop. But now this is not the case, the nearest army of King Qi is also two hundred miles away from the autumn hunting site, and the nearest army of General Qin is within a hundred miles, and the army of King Yong is also two hundred miles away, then, I absolutely do not believe that the disciples of the Fengyi Sect Master can succeed in the rebellion, and the Fengyi Sect Master is still in Qixia Nunnery at all, and he is not ready to go to the Autumn Hunt together. In my expectation, the master of the Fengyi Sect should be driving, but now it is completely different, I am really a little at a loss, how will the situation develop, the master of the Fengyi Sect is really extraordinary. King Qi's army is not more than King Yong's army, if the two armies are at war, and there is no King Qi in the army, then it is impossible to succeed, now the forbidden army is under the control of General Qin, and it is impossible to rebel, so why did Fengyimen rebel?

For the actual military affairs, I am not as good as King Yong and those generals, after repeated discussions, still can not get the prince can force the palace to succeed, but if there is no possibility of success, they will never proceed, in the end, we have to negotiate, by the eldest grandson Ji with King Yong's army at any time to attack, block the army of King Qi, Jing Chi, Sima Xiong escorted, Shi Yu and others presided over the overall situation in Beijing, Master Cizhen assigned fifty masters of each faction to serve as King Yong's guard, and frankly said that it is the common meaning of several major sects, And he himself is monitoring the Fengyi Sect Master, in fact, masters of their level are separated by a few miles from each other, and they can also detect the existence of each other, so we are not worried that he will lose the Fengyi Sect Master, and Xiao Shunzi and Dong Que are with me to participate in the autumn hunt, although I have not recovered from my illness, but this time the stakes are very high, how can I not go.

Although I can only wait and see what happens now, I still let Xiao Shunzi pass out my orders, the secret camp is all in motion, and it must be able to deal with all kinds of changes at any time, I don't worry about this, they are all good at improvisation, and I also gave them the token of Yongwang's mansion, they can get support at any time, I clenched my fists, I must believe in myself, even if the situation suddenly changes, I can also turn the tide, not to mention that I can't see what is lacking in the layout of Yongwang and me now.

In Qixia Nunnery, the master of Fengyi Sect stood under the moonlight, and behind her, on both sides stood her cronies and disciples, Wen Ziyan, Xiao Lan, Feng Feifei, Xie Xiaotong, Yan Wushuang, Li Hanyou, except for Liang Wan who had gone crazy, Ling Yu was injured, and Qin Zheng was difficult to get out, everyone had arrived, and behind these disciples, there were a total of 100 female swordsmen, all of whom were dressed like snow and had cold faces, they were the backbone of Fengyi Sect personally cultivated by the master of Fengyi Gate, these women were adopted by Fengyi Men since childhood, The Taiyin Sutra they practiced was missing some of the keys, so they were all ruthless and desireless, their hearts were as cold as ice, and in their eyes, there was only loyalty and killing.

After a long time, the master of Fengyi Gate said lightly: "During the autumn hunt, it is the time when we launch it, this matter must be successful, otherwise my Fengyi Gate will be doomed." ”

Wen Ziyan said coldly: "Master, rest assured, everything has been arranged, if we are not successful, then it is the destiny of heaven." ”

Fan Huiyao said coldly: "I never believe in any destiny, Ziyan, you remember, although I can't go in person, but you must cooperate sincerely, Hanyou, Xiaotong, the emperor's side is responsible for the affairs, Qin Zheng will obey your orders when the time comes, Xiao Lan, Feifei, you have to be responsible for cooperating with the prince to eliminate all the rebel forces, Ziyan, Wushuang, you have to be responsible for encircling and annihilating King Yong, and this seat has to deal with that nosy Cizhen, so I can't support you." ”

Everyone nodded on one knee and said, "The disciple obeys." ”

Fan Huiyao didn't let them get up, and said, "There is another person who will cooperate with you, he is a registered disciple of this secret seat." ”

With her words, a man walked out of the room, and Wen Ziyan and the others looked at his uncovered face, and they all showed surprised looks.

Fan Huiyao said lightly: "He is the protector of Fengyi Gate, this time, you have to listen to his advice more." ”

Wen Ziyan and the others suddenly understood a lot of things that they didn't understand before, but they didn't show it, just responded respectfully.

The master of Fengyi looked at the confused night, and said: "Even if it is King Yong, how they guess, they will not think of the layout of this seat, hmph, they want to force the prince to rebel, don't you know this seat, only the prince and Lu Jingzhong will believe that Li Yuan is indeed ready to depose the prince, but they don't know, this seat has known Li Yuan for many years, and knows his surname very well, although he already has this intention, but he has not yet made up his mind, but this is good, if Li Yuan is shaken, it will inevitably be unfavorable to us, besides, the success of the prince's rebellion is also endless. In the future, we will have to rely on this door even more. Listen, after the deed is completed, I, Fengyimen, will be the master behind Dayong, so you must do your best. ”

Wen Ziyan and the others have strong ambitions in their eyes, as women, they are about to complete a career that no one can match, what is more proud and proud of them than this?

In the palace of King Qi, behind the heavy curtains, Li Xian lay lazily on the soft couch with a lazy expression, his expression was indifferent, Qin Zheng walked over with a somewhat uneasy expression, brought a bowl of ginseng soup, and said: "Lord, please use ginseng soup, tomorrow is about to set off for autumn hunting, you better rest early." ”

Li Xian looked at Qin Zheng and said with a mocking smile: "Okay, Princess Qi, you are very powerful, a bowl of medicine will make me powerless, it seems that you are loyal to the master, but you have forgotten what three obedience and four virtues are." ”

Qin Zheng cried and said: "Prince, the concubine is really for your good, although the concubine was ordered to approach His Royal Highness in the past, but the concubine is really true to the prince, but I can't resist the master, and they are right, if the prince ascends the throne, the prince can be a very human minister, and the concubine and the child can also be safe and sound, if King Yong succeeds to the throne, not only the concubine and the child's surname are difficult to protect, but even the prince You will be harmed by King Yong sooner or later, if it is not for the prince, the concubine would rather die than hurt the prince." ”

Li Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Am I also duplicitous, although I scold you, but I also hope that you can succeed, otherwise, I really have to go to Huangquan Road together as a family." ”

Qin Zheng said excitedly: "No, no, we will definitely succeed, and Master will never fail." ”

Li Xian sighed, and said in his heart, will it really be so easy, he remembered the thin and weak face.

Tonight, I don't know how many people can't sleep at night.
