"General, please." Xiao Lian said. "I'm here today to inform General Shen."

Shen Wenji touched his beard, which was already a little gray, and said, "Then the prince, please wait in the flower hall, and the old minister will be there later." ”

This temperament can actually lead troops to fight? Xiao Lian was annoyed in his heart, and suddenly saw two cups of tea in Shen Wenji's study. Xiao Lian said: "General Shen is entertaining?" It seems that this king has come at a bad time to disturb General Shen. ”

Shen Wenji said with a smile: "Where, where, this is left over from talking with the adjutant here this afternoon." The little guy was lazy and didn't clean it. The prince asked the flower hall to talk about it. ”

Walking to the flower hall with Shen Wenji, Xiao Lian couldn't wait to say, "General Shen, this king wants to ask, is there a chariot weapon being made in this city?" ”

Shen Wenji's brows furrowed almost invisibly. In order to prevent the news from leaking, the emperor ordered Shen Wenji to secretly build a chariot here. How could this canary, who had been raised in the capital all day long, know such a thing?

However, Shen Wenji's face was still gentle and respectful: "Why does the prince have such a question?" ”

Neither admit nor deny. It's really an old fox. However, the two of them were not here to investigate the matter, but just to report the news.

Xiao Lian said: "General Shen, I happened to hear that some spies have infiltrated Stone City, and they have also placed flint in the city, and I hope that General Shen will quickly invite someone to investigate." ”

"How did the prince learn about this?" When Shen Wenji was twelve years old, he followed his father to fight in the army, and went through four dynasties. Naturally, we should be cautious about this similar gossip. What's more, he has never looked down on Xiao Zhaoye.

Xiao Lian said: "I went out drinking with my little guy, and I saw someone sneaky in a small alley. We overheard him saying that they were going to burn Stone City, so we hurried to report to General Shen. ”

Only then did Shen Wenji raise his eyes and look at the little guy behind Xiao Lian, with red lips and white teeth and a demonic face, just like his master, he was very good-looking, and he was not a serious guy at first glance.

Shen Wenji prides himself on being a righteous man and a gentleman, and he can't do such a thing as eavesdropping on the corner. And Xiao Lian said it logically. Shen Wenji was even more disdainful in his heart.

Shen Wenji said: "The prince is too careful, I have been guarding here, and it is impossible for spies to be mixed in in Stone City." How could the prince say it without asking for verification? Since the prince heard that there is a flint in this city, he dares to ask the prince, can he tell where the flint is placed? ”

Shen Wenji saw that Xiao Lian didn't speak, and smiled disdainfully: "Isn't the prince taking the old minister to have fun?" ”

Have fun?! Xiao Lian and He Jingying's big night rush here, they actually got Shen Wenji's sentence "find happiness", and they couldn't help but be very angry.

Xiao Lian laughed angrily: "General Shen also thinks too highly of himself, if this king wants to be happy, he naturally goes to find those little flower girls who are twenty-eight years old, and finds you a half-old man, do you have such a strange habit when you are the king?" “

Shaw! Broken! Broken! The white eyes in He Jingying's heart rolled roughly, Xiao Lian was a typical serious person for only three seconds.

Shen Wenji was so angry that his beard trembled three times: "You ......"

Xiao Lian said locally: "What are you? If you have the ability to speak, you should quickly send people to increase patrols and check all over the city! I'm not the spy who can tell where the flint is placed. If you want to know, you can find out the spy and interrogate it. Don't ask me what the spy looks like, I didn't see it clearly when the moon was dark and the wind was high. Besides, it's not my responsibility if something happens to this stone town. You're the one who lost your head. If you want to consume it like this, why don't I go and fix a coffin for you first, do you want mahogany or nanmu? ”

Xiao Lian said so much in one breath, and he didn't take a breath of air, and he spilled out the qi that Fang had just been chased and killed in the mass grotto.

Shen Wenji slapped the table heavily: "Xiao Fa Body!" You ......"

Although Xiao Lian's words are not good, there is one sentence that is not wrong, if anything happens to this stone city, it will be him Shen Wenji who will lose his head.

Shen Wenji walked out of the door with shaking hands and shouted, "Someone! Come! Check it for me, and the whole city will check it! Arrest all the suspicious people! ”

Shen Wenji blew his beard and glared at Xiao Lian: "If the prince wants nothing else, please go back." Stone Town is going to be under martial law, so don't hurt the prince by mistake when the time comes. ”

Shen Wenji saw Xiao Lian walking out of the General's Mansion, so he flicked his sleeves and walked back to the study.

Xiao Ziliang walked out from behind the screen, looked at Shen Wenji and asked angrily, "What's the matter with Zhongda, my nephew made you angry like this?" ”

Shen Wenji said with a gloomy face: "Yunying, your nephew is really growing up now. I thought he didn't have enough to worry about, but now it seems that he will not be an opponent for you and me. What I'm telling you, you have to think about it quickly. ”

Xiao Ziliang's face sank: "You also know that the Dharma Body was raised in my mansion when I was a child......

Shen Wenji said: "Yunying, you can't be so indecisive. The imperial doctor said that the emperor's health is not as good as before. If you don't seize the opportunity, will you ...... wait?"

"Zhongda!" Xiao Ziliang interrupted Shen Wenji.

Of course he knew what Shen Wenji was going to say. If something happens to Emperor Wu, the crown prince Xiao Changmao will sit on the throne justifiably. He never had another chance.

With such a big rebellious remark, how could he tolerate Shen Wenji saying it.

Shen Wenji sighed and said: "Yunying, you have been conquering the south and north for many years, and you have worked hard to run the West Mansion, and now your reputation is first-class whether it is in the court or among the scholars. Do you want all these efforts to be in vain? ”

Xiao Ziliang: "Let me think about it again." ”

Shen Wenji hurriedly said: "Yun Ying, not to mention that the little prince broke into the study just now, maybe he had already heard the conversation between you and me." If you let him go back this time...... Yun Ying, this is a good opportunity, if something happens to the little prince, it is only natural that the prince will be angry for a while. As long as this Daqi has no son-in-law. Then the emperor will have no reason not to make you the crown prince. This is a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Since the founding of the country, Taizu has set the ancestral motto of being succeeded by his eldest son. Originally, it was to avoid a recurrence of the Eight Kings Rebellion during the Jin Dynasty. Xiao Ziliang has known since he was a child, and he has not been convinced since he was a child.

In terms of military exploits, the crown prince Xiao Changmao once helped his father kill the traitor Shen Yuzhi in Yingcheng; But he also guarded the city and saved his father from the chaos. Essay governance, the crown prince Xiao Changmao can share his father's worries in the imperial study; He didn't have this honor, so he started from the history of the Southern Xuzhou Assassin and entered the court step by step.

The crown prince Xiao Changmao was favored by the emperor and built the Dongtian Garden, and he built the West Mansion. In the end, Dongtian Xiaoyuan was too hard to work and hurt money, and the people were full of grievances, and the prince was reprimanded and grounded. Until now, Dongtian Xiaoyuan is just a very luxurious garden, and the prince also fell ill because of the year of the grounding. And his west residence has already gathered celebrities from all over the world.

But even so, the emperor never moved the idea of abolishing the crown prince for a moment. He was not even praised except for his usual reward.

Just because he is not a grandson, not a long.

After all, it is difficult to settle.

Xiao Ziliang turned around in silence and closed his eyes slightly. "Can you spare a life?"
