————————————————————————————————————————————————————

This scene inside Dongyang Gate is being seen clearly by Qiu Yizhi in the restaurant.

At first, he thought that the imperial court was announcing the decree as usual, but later he suddenly saw an ambush and his father-in-law was taken away alone, so he knew that something was wrong, and he wanted to rush downstairs at that time. But Lou had just walked a few stairs before he remembered that there was not a single soldier around him, and he was not an invincible general who could take the rank of general in a million-strong army. He thought that even if he could rescue his father-in-law now, he would definitely not be able to leave Luoyang City, which was heavily guarded.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi returned upstairs, drank the bowl of tea that had been cold, and tried to calm down his brain: now his father-in-law has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and he has become a fish and meat, and it is the current emperor who wants to kill him - it can be said that things are in a desperate situation at the moment, as long as there is a half-step mistake, it will put the father-in-law in a situation from which he will never recover.

Halfway through Qiu Yizhi's calculations, Zhao Chengxiao suddenly rushed up from downstairs, and tried to lower his voice: "Your Highness, Lord Wang, he ...... The prince ......"

"I saw it all." Qiu Yizhi replied, "For now, we need to be cautious and calm, and don't do moths to fight fire!" The latter sentence is not only said to Zhao Chengxiao, but also to himself.

After saying that, Qiu Yizhi's hands almost trembled as he refilled the water for himself, and his mind quickly calculated:

At present, Youyan's army is deployed on the northern front line or near Guangyang City, and it is impossible to raise troops in a moment, but even if he can immediately send troops to attack Luoyang, then the righteous father may be guilty of rebellion, maybe he doesn't have to wait until the autumn queen to ask for beheading, and he will be sent to Ling Chi outside the noon gate to be executed immediately.

Or maybe the new emperor is in the dynasty, but he wants to kill the majesty of the two vassal kings and uncles who are in charge of the army, and he may not really have the opportunity to kill. If this is the case, as long as the veteran minister Shang Shu who has face in the court is still playing, the father-in-law may only need to hand over the military power, and from then on he will live in a simple house and be a duke, and the emperor can still read the love of his uncle and let the father-in-law go.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yi's plan had been decided, and he drank the warm tea in front of him in one gulp, and said to Zhao Chengxiao: "Go!" Let's go to see Prime Minister Yang. If something so big happens, I don't believe he can still be closed. After that, without waiting for Zhao Chengxiao to agree, he rushed downstairs and led the horse towards Yang's mansion.

The two of them came to Yang Yuanzhi's mansion with a hole inside and a very shabby outside, and knocked on the wooden door vigorously. In a short time, the door was pushed open a crack in the door, revealing half of the old guard's face through the crack.

Qiu Yizhi no longer had time to be polite to this disciple surnamed Zhang, kicked open the door, and shouted: "I'm going to see your old Prime Minister Yang!" ”

This old Zhang didn't seem to understand, and said: "This son's young man is the first time to meet, my old Xiangguo has never seen a living, and I ask my son to forgive me." ”

Zhao Chengxiao on the side lived with Lao Zhang for a period of time half a month ago, and the old and the young chatted very much, seeing his appearance of turning his face and not recognizing people, he knew that there must be something strange in it, and asked: "Lao Zhang, what garlic do you put for me?" This is His Royal Highness the Righteous Son under the knee of King Youyan, and you don't know him after only a few days? ”

This surnamed Zhang was pointed out for breaking the trick, and his tone suddenly softened: "It turns out that Brother Zhao is also here." My lord went out early in the morning, saying that he wanted to see the current emperor, and he didn't know when he would come back, and told me to close the door today, and not a single guest would be seen. ”

"Really? Are you telling the truth? Qiu Yizhi asked.

"Is Childe still suspicious of me? I've been here to serve the lord since I walked, and I won't make up half a word of what the lord says, and the lord really went out early in the morning! Lao Zhang had a sincere expression on his face.

Seeing that he was very sincere, Qiu Yizhi sighed and said, "Okay, since you say so, I won't embarrass you." When your lord came, he said that he had come down, and he was asking the old prime minister for help in some urgent matters, and he would come to visit tomorrow. Go back! ”

Lao Zhang listened to the last sentence, let out an "oh" as if relieved, and without speaking, he turned around and closed the door again.

Seeing this, Zhao Chengxiao's face was full of doubts, and he asked Qiu Yi in a low voice: "Son, I haven't seen you for a few days, why is this old Zhang doing this?" ”

Qiu Yizhi snorted and said: "Even if you give him a hundred guts, you don't dare to perfunctory me like this." He was just on the orders of his master. After that, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's not talk about him." Maybe the old prime minister met the saint for the sake of the prince! ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded and said, "Childe is reasonable......

Qiu Yizhi understood in his heart that since this old prime minister Yang saw the emperor's eldest son Zheng Chang, his attitude had become weird, and he himself couldn't see what the old minister of the three dynasties was planning - what he said just now was just to comfort himself.

Looking at Zhao Chengxiao's half-incomprehensible expression beside him, Qiu Yizhi suddenly remembered that there was another person in the capital who was more powerful than Yang Yuanzhi. Although this person has no friendship with him, he is notoriously indifferent to fame and fortune, and if he can ask him to say something, the emperor may not refute his face. So he said to Zhao Chengxiao: "Go!" Let's go see the prince of Heluo! ”

Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo, is the younger brother of Zheng Yong, the emperor of Daxing, and Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, and the elder brother of Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan. He is the elder of the current emperor, and his influence among the scholars is great, if he is willing to come forward to protect the performance, then it will undoubtedly add an extremely precious and heavy weight to the balance of the life and death of King Youyan.

Thinking of this layer of interest, Qiu Yizhi couldn't care about it, and just wanted to see King Heluo as soon as possible, so he crossed the horse and came to King Heluo's mansion.

But this Heluo Mansion is a huge place in Luoyang City, in terms of scale and pattern, it is larger than the current emperor Zheng Yao's hidden residence and the mansion of the emperor's eldest son Zheng Chang. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi only inquired a little about passers-by, and then rushed to the door of Heluo Wangfu.

At this time, it was past noon, Qiu Yizhi and Zhao Chengxiao were both hungry, but the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders, so they had to endure the hunger in their stomachs and knocked on the door of Heluo Palace.

When the gatekeeper heard a knock on the door, he pushed the side door open only slightly, and asked, "Who is knocking?" The tone was very arrogant.

Qiu Yizhi didn't want to entangle with him more, so he directly took out the name of Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, from his arms, handed it over and said, "I am ordered to come to see the prince of Heluo." "And send another ingot of silver," Now that the matter is very urgent, please go in and give a talk." ”

The janitor was not as oily and salty as Lao Zhang of the Yang Mansion, and after receiving the money, his attitude suddenly improved a little: "Well, please wait a while." Then he closed the door and went into the house.

Qiu Yizhi only waited for a cup of tea in the autumn wind, and the side door of the palace opened again, and the original gatekeeper handed back the name of King Youyan to Qiu Yizhi, and said, "The person you are looking for is not here." There is a small courtyard when you go out and turn right, so go and ask. With that, he slammed the wooden door shut.

When Zhao Chengxiao saw it, he looked puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, this is the Heluo Palace." The prince of Heluo we are looking for is not here, where else can he be? ”

Qiu Yi carefully put the famous post made of precious black jade back into his arms, and sighed: "This is the Taoguang way of the prince of Heluo. No wonder he can be at ease in the land of right and wrong in the capital Luoyang for decades! Well, it's useless for us to stand here empty, so let's try our luck. ”

According to the instructions of the palace gate just now, the two went out to the right and walked around the courtyard wall for nearly a hundred steps, and sure enough, they saw a courtyard house located next to the Heluo Palace.

Qiu Yizhi knocked on the door twice in half a day to ask to see the adult, this set of movements has been very skillful, seeing that he stretched out two fingers, knocked the wooden door twice, and let the door panel make a "tuk" sound, then stood aside.

This time, the reaction inside the door was extremely fast, and as soon as the knock on the door fell, an answer came: "Here, please wait!" In the blink of an eye, someone pushed the door open and greeted him.

Qiu Yizhi saw that the person who opened the door was wearing a very elegant light green lake silk robe, with a white veil tied around his waist, holding a folding fan, with an unusually calm but unfathomable smile on his face, knowing that this person's identity must be unusual, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so he said deeply: "I am here to find the prince of Heluo, may I ask if the prince is here?" ”

The man raised his hand to help Qiu Yizhi up, and said with a smile: "Down there is Zheng Hua, is the son from my brother?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the man. I saw that this person was nearly forty years old, and his face was really similar to his father-in-law Zheng Rong, but between his eyebrows, there were three points less heroic and three points more elegant, but his eyes were as deep and calm as Zheng Rong.

Qiu Yizhi left Guangyang to do business, and in less than two months, he had already seen rich businessmen, high-rollers, martial arts masters, eunuchs, bandits and horses, etc., and the director's knowledge was more than the five years he had read in the palace before. In addition, he is a very smart and perceptive person, and his ability to deal with people and things and observe words and colors has increased even more.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi only took a look at the person in front of him, and knew that if this person was not a nobleman in the sky, if he had not read the subset of scriptures and history, he would definitely not have this kind of bearing, so he knelt down on the ground with his legs bent and bowed twice: "Grass people Qiu Yizhi, knock on His Royal Highness the Prince of Heluo!" ”

Seeing Qiu Yizhi so respectful, Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo, bent down to help him up very chicly, and said, "Why should the prince be polite, if you have something to say, please talk about it in the hall." After that, he introduced Qiu Yizhi into the courtyard, and said with a smile as he walked, "Brother occasionally writes with the king. When it comes to Qiu Gongzi, they all say that you are more than smart and not calm enough, and I want this king to have a few words of guidance. However, looking at it today, Childe is not fake, and he does not see any frivolity. Could it be that my brother is wrong? He laughed out loud.

Qiu Yizhi heard King Heluo commenting on his father-in-law, and hurriedly stood up and said, "There is nothing that my father-in-law said that is not to the point. It's true that I'm a little clever, but at the moment this calm energy is pretending. Presumably, my father-in-law had an accident, and the prince had heard about it, and now he is already anxious, so he came to pay homage to the prince for this matter. ”

"This is a major event in the capital, and this king has also heard about it. The so-called thunder and rain and dew are the grace of heaven, but I don't know what good it is for my son to see me? Zheng Hua said as he slowly walked towards the house.
