Ye Zhi looked outside the hall, lowered his voice and said: "But it is not a way to go on like this, Your Highness doesn't know, Gu Xiang's trip to Xia Guo is a trap set by the collusion between Wei Guogong and Xia Guo, which is intended to make Gu Xiang go and have no return, as long as the news of Gu Xiang's accident is transmitted back to Shangjing, the Prime Minister's Mansion has no backbone, and the father-in-law will start to clean up the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"The villain mentioned this matter to me, and I was also worried about what danger Gu Chuyu would encounter......

"Since Wei Guogong dares to do this, it means that he is completely sure that he can get rid of Gu Xiang, according to his previous plan, once Gu is in danger, Daning will be in his pocket." Ye Zhi sighed, "Fortunately, His Highness got the talisman before this, and everything will still have a turnaround." ”

Jiang Rong was puzzled: "The villain said that the talisman can protect me thoroughly, so that Wei Guogong did not dare to make a mistake, and he didn't say that I could rely on it to calm the turmoil." ”

"That's because my father-in-law has ordered the forbidden army to strictly guard Shangjing, even if His Highness has a military talisman, if there is no valid reason, the generals will not risk coming forward, unless His Highness is in danger, but His Highness can't lie because of this, otherwise it will backfire."

"Then they don't know that Wei Guogong is committing a rebellion?"

"They know and don't dare to act rashly, in the past, Gu Xiang was in power, and the generals were unconvinced, so they only recognized the soldiers and did not recognize the people, and now in order to protect themselves, they will never easily send troops to muddy the waters." Ye Zhi also said, "What's more, they have always thought that His Highness and Wei Guogong are fellow travelers, if His Highness deceives them, they will mistakenly think that this is a trap set by His Highness and Wei Guogong, intending to get rid of them, and His Highness will lose his military spirit because of this." ”

"Isn't that still what the villain said, unless Wei Guogong treats me disrespectfully, I can take the talisman to transfer troops to the king of Qin, otherwise this talisman is a piece of broken copper and iron."

"Your Highness still doesn't understand?"

Jiang Yi was in a fog, "What do you understand?" ”

"Gu Xiang's side hasn't heard from him yet, Wei Guogong dared to take power in Shangjing, he didn't rely on perfect planning, but on the forbidden army in his hand."

Only then did Jiang Rong understand. That's right, it was the forbidden army in the hands of Wei Guogong that the civil and military officials were afraid of, and Wei Guogong also relied on the forbidden army to snatch the talisman from the military department Shangshu that day.

Now everyone says that the surname of the forbidden army is Ji, and that is because the deputy commander of the forbidden army is the righteous son of Wei Guogong, but the young general is now sitting in front of him, and he also reminded him that his military talisman can set things right......

Jiang Rong frowned, and asked tentatively, "Ye Zhi, are you willing to help me overthrow your father-in-law?" ”

Ye Zhi cautiously glanced outside the door and nodded with an amplitude that only Jiang Ei could see.

"Ye Zhi, didn't you recognize Wei Guogong as your father-in-law? How did you think of ......" Jiang Rong paused, Ye Zhi's attitude was really beyond his expectations.

Ye Zhi said with a smile: "If I say that I am for Xiaomei, will you believe it, Your Highness?" ”

Jiang Rong's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he looked at the side of the main hall, and said after a while: "I know you like her, but there is only one person in her heart from beginning to end, are you not afraid of working in vain?" ”

"Like His Royal Highness, I just hope that she will be well, but as soon as the Duke of Wei is in turmoil, Xiaomei's situation is extremely dangerous, not to mention ......" Ye Zhi was stunned, "Not to mention that my father-in-law has done too many things that are intolerable, how can I act for the tiger." ”

"I know, the villain said that he was the one who instructed the bandits to rob the people, and he also arranged the absconding of the prince of Xia Guo behind his back."

"It's much more than that." Ye Zhi looked at Jiang Ei, and his expression became a little serious.

"What else?"

"I can tell Your Highness, but Your Highness has to promise me, calm down."

Jiang Rong nodded and motioned for Ye Zhi to continue.

"His Royal Highness was assassinated in Jiangnan, which was done by someone sent by the Duke of Wei, with the intention of provoking the relationship between His Highness and Gu Xiang; His Royal Highness was assassinated by Qiluo was also arranged by Wei Guogong, he originally wanted to use this to force Gu Xiang to send troops to attack Wuzhu and distract Gu Xiang, but who knew that Gu was the opposite of an army, so he later persuaded His Highness to ask His Highness to let Qiluo go. ”

Jiang Rong was so stunned that he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Your Highness, forgive me for not daring to say much in the past, although I am in charge of the forbidden army, but not long after I entered the court, I have been an official, and because of Xiaomei's matter, Gu has a lot of prejudices against me, so I have to be cautious in my words and deeds on weekdays."

Jiang Rong laughed coldly a few times, he had been shocked a lot since the change of heaven in Shangjing, but Ye Zhi's words hit him hard like making matters worse. ”

How much he remembered the kindness of the Ji family in the past, and how much he hates the person who deceived him for more than 20 years!

Jiang Rong didn't ask any more, and said bluntly: "You are smarter than me, and you have won Ji Heng's trust, what do you need me to do, you just say it"

"Ten days later, the Wei State Guild convened the ministers to enter the palace court meeting, and on that day, I wanted to borrow His Highness's military talisman."

"Talismans?" Ei frowned.

"Although the soldiers of the forbidden army listen to me, they are also human beings and are afraid of death, only if I get the talisman, they will have the courage to rebel against the Guogong Mansion with me."

"But......" Jiang Rong hesitated in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, Wei Guogong oppressed His Royal Highness, for the sake of the court, it must be removed, the court meeting after ten days is an excellent opportunity, His Royal Highness should take out the courage to overthrow the Guogong Mansion and restore the peace of the world, so that Xiaomei can be safe."

Jiang Rong hesitated not because he couldn't believe Ye Zhi, but because the villain told him that before Gu Chuyu came back, he had to take the talisman well, and no one could give it to him.

Even if Ye Zhi's idea moved his heart, it was difficult for him to make a hasty decision, and he only said, "You...... Let me think about it. ”

General's Palace.

Mei Xiaoren went to Aunt Ye's room under the guidance of the maid, and saw Aunt Ye lying on the bed, her face was weak, and she was unconscious. Whenever the weather gets cooler, Aunt Ye's illness will come and go like this.

She didn't see the two children here, and she heard that Ye Zhi had sent the brother and sister to study at the official school, and they were not in the house on weekdays.

At the beginning, Aunt Ye tried every means to talk to her alone, I don't know if I wanted to tell her the secret story of General Ye's case, but at that time, Aunt Ye was in the hands of Wei Guogong, and it was really inconvenient for her to see her.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the people in the mansion have begun to hang red silk and paste happy words everywhere, decorating the general's mansion inside and outside into extraordinarily festive.

The weather was getting colder and colder, Mei Xiaoren stood under the porch, and the autumn wind poured into her neckline, blowing the jade pendant around her neck.

She has been counting the days, survived the Mid-Autumn Festival, and began to count how long it is until the beginning of winter, and how far it is from the winter solstice......

On the eighth day, Mei Xiaoren met Ji Nanrou in the mansion.

When they were reunited, they stood face to face in the garden, staring straight at each other, their eyes like knives.

In Ji Nanrou's opinion, Mei Xiaoren was just a prisoner, and she lived like a master in the general's mansion, which made her feel very unhappy.

Ji Nanrou retracted her gaze and walked past her with the maid, not forgetting to leave a sentence: "Miss Xiao, your good days are coming to an end again, and in three days, everything in this house will be under my control!" ”
