Zhao Heng, who was bullied, snorted his teeth fiercely, and looked at Zhao Xuan's complacent appearance very unhappily.

But I also have to admit that in the eyes of the third brother, and even in the eyes of everyone, he is indeed the most unreliable one; The father has nine sons, although he is the eldest who gets the most favoritism, but he is indeed the one who has the most headaches and likes to teach lessons, but at the same time, he is the one who loves to cause trouble.

Seeing that Lao Jiu, this kid, couldn't even talk back when he was told by himself, Zhao Xi naturally didn't talk to him anymore, but continued: "Since the third brother confessed, then you and I must do these things well; Now that the third brother is hundreds of miles away, he can't reach the affairs in the capital, you and I are very good brothers of the third brother, so I have to help the third brother at this time. ”

Zhao Heng was not stupid, and quickly grasped the key point in Zhao Xi's words: "You said that the capital is about to be peaceful, what will be the unevenness?" I see everything as it was before; The third brother wants you and me to stare at Yonghe Palace and Brother Wang, do you suspect that these two people want to be moths? ”

Looking at Lao Jiu, who was not too stupid, Zhao Xi said: "The third brother is the biggest stumbling block on the road to the eldest brother's establishment of the prince, in other words, the eldest brother is also the biggest opponent in the third brother's battle for succession; The court and the capital seem to be calm on the surface, but this does not mean that everything is peaceful, you must know that the calm before the storm is often the most confusing. Moreover, I think my father's attitude towards the third brother seems to be changing recently, maybe the eldest brother will jump over the wall in a hurry and do some shocking things. ”

Zhao Heng immediately thought of a possibility, took a breath and said, "Seventh brother, you don't suspect that the eldest brother dares to do such a thing to his father!" ”

As he spoke, this guy also made a gesture of wiping his neck on his neck, which looked quite funny at first glance.

However, Zhao Xi had a serious face, without the slightest hint of joke.

Since the change of dynasties in ancient times, the throne has changed hands, and there is so much blood and sacrifice to be paid behind it. If one day the eldest brother would really be forced to do such a thing, he didn't think it was strange.

After all, people die for money, birds die for food, and everyone is just unscrupulous to achieve their goals.

It's just that at this time, Zhao Xi can't let Zhao Heng know too much, so as not to let this kid leak the secret of heaven: "Don't think nonsense, even if the eldest brother is ambitious and crazy, he doesn't dare to do that kind of thing that goes against the sky, he is the biological son of his father, and since he was a child, his father has hugged him the most." ”

Although Zhao Xi said this, Zhao Heng didn't believe it at all.

He was born in an imperial family, what kind of conspiracy and tricks have not been seen, and the eldest brother is the kind of ambitious person, even if he won't make a move on his father, wouldn't that old witch of the Jiang family be?

You must know that the entire capital and the entire Great Wei world belong to her Jiang family's most vicious mind; Is there anything in this world that she would not dare to do for such a woman?

Let's look at it, if that day really comes, he believes that the Jiang family will definitely do something heinous, and what about the eldest brother? He seems to be a benevolent and moral man, but no one knows better than him how hypocritical the man they call his eldest brother is.

Zhao Heng got up from the chair, patted his sleeves casually, and said very chicly: "Seventh brother, I came here to look for you, first, to tell you the movements of the eldest brother, and secondly, to ask you what you want me to do for what I am doing, now that I know everything, then I will leave first." ”

Zhao Xi didn't stay much of Zhao Heng, now that the third brother is not in the capital, he must replace the third brother and move all the relationships between the third brother in the capital, so as not to really take advantage of the unpreparedness and be quietly wiped out by the wolf's ambitions.

"Okay, you go home first; By the way, I warn you, there won't be much safety in the capital recently, you'd better stay in your palace and walk around elsewhere, when something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

Zhao Heng grinned: "Okay, Brother Seven, you are almost able to catch up with my mother and concubine with your nagging energy, don't worry, I still care about my little life, and I won't take the initiative to go to a dangerous place." ”

Saying that, Zhao Heng walked to the door of the study, and when he was about to walk down the steps, he suddenly thought of another sentence, and turned back to explain to Zhao Xi: "Seventh brother, if you have anything that is inconvenient for you to go out to do, you can send someone to me, in the eyes of everyone, I am a waste, I will not become the target of others, and it will be much easier to act." You know, in terms of supporting the third brother, I am not inferior to you at all, if the third brother can ascend to the throne in the future, I still want to eat and drink spicy food with him. ”

Seeing Zhao Heng wave his hand and leave after saying this sentence in a dashing manner, Zhao Xi stood in place in a daze, looking at the back of the stinky boy in surprise for a long time.

It wasn't until someone else's voice came from around him that he came back to his senses.

"I always thought that King Heng was a gentleman, and what he was best at was walking birds, teasing dogs, prostituting and fighting, but I didn't expect him to be a thoughtful person, and he actually figured out some things that smart people couldn't understand in other people's ignorance."

Zhao Xi turned his head to look at Zhuge Changming, who was standing behind him shaking a feather fan, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "I also found out today, I really underestimated our Xiao Jiu before; Now that I think about it, he is probably the most free, the most comfortable, the most enviable of our brothers. ”

Many people laugh at him for being thrown into the fief by his father at a young age, and he lost the favor of the Son of Heaven in disguise, but his fief is rich in products and resources, and there, he is treated as the emperor of the soil, with his own palace and his own palace, and he wants to be rich and powerful; How happy and happy she was in those days; And among us, the princes who seem to stay in the capital, can compare to him as carefree. Now that I think about it, this stinky boy can't have seen the form in the capital clearly a long time ago, and deliberately found a fork to let his father throw him out. ”

Hearing Zhao Xi say this about Zhao Heng, Zhuge Changming couldn't help but cover the corners of his mouth with a feather fan and laughed softly: "Perhaps, as the prince guessed, King Heng did it on purpose." ”

Zhao Xi looked at Zhuge Changming's narrow and cunning eyes, and the two looked at each other, both shaking their heads and chuckling.

"Sir, Grandpa asked you to come to this king, but everything he has prepared over there?"

Zhuge Changming is the strategist next to Li Ze, the prince of Zhenguo, and Li Ze has already taken refuge in Zhao Ling, so naturally his strategist will also wear the same pants as Zhao Ling's people.

So when he heard Zhao Xi ask, he replied endlessly: "Please rest assured, King Xi, my father-in-law has prepared a generous gift for His Royal Highness King Ling, and he will definitely like it when he comes back from Jeju City." ”

Zhao Heng naturally knew that Zhenguo Gong Li Ze was an old fox, and when dealing with the old fox, he naturally had to be vigilant: "Oh, in this way, the king is here to worry about the third brother Grandpa Xie; The third brother Feige passed a book, saying that I must pay attention to the movements in Beijing recently, and Zhen Guogong is also the mainstay of the court, what kind of scene has not been experienced; After all, this king is short-sighted, and many places need the guidance and help of the grandfather, and he also asked the gentleman to go back to bring a message to the grandfather, so that he must do his best to help, and when the third brother achieves great things in the future, he will not forget the contribution and dedication of the grandfather. ”

"Your Royal Highness King Heng, rest assured, my grandfather is willing to do everything to help His Royal Highness King Ling achieve great things; It's just that there is another sentence below that I want to remind the prince. ”

"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Ling also has someone in the Imperial Forest Army, just in case, I also ask the prince to inform that person, so that he can keep abreast of the movements of Yonghe Palace through his own methods; Besides, if you can, pay more attention to the emperor, especially the emperor's personal safety. ”

Looking at Zhuge Changming, who was smiling like a fox, Zhao Heng knew what he was worried about, not only shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that what this king said just now, not only Xiao Jiu didn't believe it, but even you, sir, didn't believe it; The personal safety of my father and the emperor will be carefully watched by this king, and please rest assured that Mr. ”

"It's not that she's suspicious, but often the most incomprehensible thing for us is people's hearts, Jiang has been winning for so many years, if one day her heart is deviated, I'm afraid she will do crazy things, and we are prepared."

Zhao Heng smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, it is prepared, or Mr.'s sentence is incisive." ”

……

In this way, all the movements in the capital began to be secretly restless, and everything seemed so calm, but anyone who knew in their hearts could see that this calm did not last long.

It was night, in the study of King Xuan's mansion.

It is already more deeply exposed, but the lights in the study are bright all night, these days at night, the study of Xuanwangfu is particularly annoying, and you can constantly see all kinds of people or people in a hurry or with a heavy face in and out of the study, you can see that the atmosphere here is very tense.

Su Yingxue hadn't seen Zhao Xuan for several days, naturally the last time she quarreled, he never really paid attention to her again, as if in this palace, she didn't exist at all, and didn't care about her life or death at all.

Tonight, Su Yingxue appeared on the corridor outside the study again, under the cover of flowers, she stood here with her personal maid, looking forward to the brightly lit study, according to the silhouette that appeared on the window, guessing whether the figure would be the person she had in mind.

The personal maid Xiangling is a soft and kind person, and seeing that the princess has reached this point for the princess's infatuation, she thought of a way to bring a cup of bird's nest from the kitchen and send it to Su Yingxue's hands.

taught her hand in hand and said, "Princess, go and bring this cup of bird's nest to the prince." ”
