Chapter 276: Private Army
Zhao Yiyan did what he said, and really let go of Zhao Zijian's affairs.
Zhao Zijian is also the pride of the sky, and it is already the limit to be able to speak to Zhao Yiyan like that last time, and he can't do it at all.
So, he moved out of the Qingyang Palace and lived in a small mansion near the Border City Academy.
Wei Lao had some dealings with him because he was in the Border City Academy, and after knowing Zhao Zijian's predicament, he automatically and spontaneously decided to help his previous master persuade Zhao Yiyan.
It's just that after Zhao Zijian knew about this matter, he stopped people without saying a word.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, he investigated all of Zhongli's things, and then asked Wei Lao to hand them to Zhao Yiyan.
Zhao Yiyan didn't expect that Wei Lao would come to be Zhao Zijian's lobbyist, thinking of Wei Lao's care for the Zhong family, he couldn't help but coax people out of the door and received him.
It's just that when he saw the things handed over by Wei Lao, Zhao Yiyan wanted to kill everyone.
"Where did you get this from? Who else knows? ”
Wei Lao hadn't seen anything in it yet, and he shook his head at Zhao Yiyan.
"Well, this old man doesn't know very well. This is what the old man gave to the old man before he came here, and said that you will understand it after reading it. ”
Got it? Got the hell!
Zhao Yiyan didn't say a word, he directly took these things and lit them, burned them in front of Wei Lao, and asked Wei Lao to go back and bring news to Zhao Zijian.
"You go back and tell him that An An is staying here separately, and I can keep him safe, but if he has anything else in mind, don't talk about it."
Wei Lao looked at Zhao Yiyan with some anxiety.
"But King Qingyang, the current situation is not as good as before, don't you really plan to help? Recently, the emperor has eradicated dissidents as if he had changed a person, and the entire royal court has been in an uproar, and people are panicking. If this continues, the country will not be a country. ”
Wei Lao's words are not alarmist, Zhao Yiyan is very clear, but they are courtiers, and he is an invincible sword in the hands of the emperor.
Therefore, Zhao Yiyan shouted.
"Shut up!"
He glanced at Wei Lao coldly.
"I don't care what you say or do, I'm still me, and the position of Qingyang Wangfu will not waver."
Wei Lao couldn't help but get angry, looked at Zhao Yiyan angrily, and spoke coldly.
"But what if the emperor lets you die one day?"
Zhao Yiyan was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die."
Wei Lao was angry, glared at Zhao Yiyan angrily, gritted his teeth, and spoke angrily.
"You ......"
Zhao Yiyan didn't care what the other party thought, and spoke directly outside.
"Come on, send Mr. Wei out."
Wei Lao looked at Zhao Yiyan with some anger and stomped his feet fiercely.
"King Qingyang, you will regret it."
With that, he angrily turned around and left.
After the whole room was empty, Zhao Yiyan pursed his lips tightly and called the old housekeeper in.
"Let people go down and check again, check the Zhong family well, and the housekeeper who was in the capital before the Zhong family, find out who it is, and then report to me."
The old housekeeper looked at Zhao Yiyan and spoke a little helplessly.
"Lord Wang, you might as well think about the matter of the Four Princes? The emperor has always been a little eyeing of you, and although the matter of the seventh princess has been suppressed by Wang Shilang and has not been dealt with, the more you drag it out like this, the worse it will be for you. Do you want to ......?"
Zhao Yiyan suddenly turned to look at the old butler and snorted coldly.
"How much benefit did Zhao Zijian get you, and let you talk about these things here? Make good arrangements, otherwise, you don't want to stay here, or go back to the capital to retire! ”
The old housekeeper didn't expect that just saying such a sentence would cause such a big backlash from Zhao Yiyan, he looked at the back of Zhao Yiyan leaving, and shook his head helplessly.
The big master has passed away, he has been following the little master, watching Zhao Yiyan grow up since he was a child, Zhao Yiyan is like his child, how can he not be worried and distressed? Rather than watching Zhao Yiyan live on thin ice all the time, it is better to break the kettle.
However, what he never expected was that his words were denied by Zhao Yiyan without saying a word, could it be that Zhao Yiyan still had any hope for that emperor? After so many years, he can see that the emperor is a ruthless person.
The old butler sighed helplessly, shook his head and sighed and left.
In fact, Zhao Yiyan didn't see the situation clearly as they imagined, but he saw it too clearly, so he didn't dare to do it more and more.
Unless you can give up everything and follow the new emperor all the way to the end, any relief will become your own death hole.
For example, Zhongli.
Although Zhongli is now in Yuanwu, he has no choice, but Zhongli's brother and younger siblings are there, and if what Zhao Zijian said is true, Zhongli really hid the former prince's people in his mansion, and if he can be discovered by Zhao Zijian's people, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discovered by others.
After he walked back and forth in the house a few times, he asked someone to call Zhong Liyue.
"General, are you looking for me?"
Zhong Liyue has become more and more passionate recently, after he has integrated the things that Zhong Li left behind, he also made a draw with the people who came out of the border city academy, and now, they are thinking about what kind of method to use if they want to attack, how to exchange the greatest success for the least cost.
Zhao Yiyan looked at the artistic Zhong Liyue in front of him, frowned at him for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"There's one thing I want you to do for me!"
Zhong Liyue nodded directly without saying a word.
"Okay, you say."
Zhao Yiyan took out a painting from his bookshelf and handed it directly to Zhong Liyue.
"It's this person, I want you to bring the person back intact, can you do it?"
Zhong Liyue glanced at the person in the portrait, white and fat, without a beard, like a rich lady's outsider.
But he also knew that since Zhao Yiyan was so cautious and allowed himself to bring people back, this person must have a special identity.
"This person is now in your Zhong family's mansion in the capital, doing things. I don't care what you do, I'm sure to bring them back safely. As a means of protecting you, I will give you twenty men, all of whom are good at your disposal. ”
Zhong Liyue nodded heavily at Zhao Yiyan.
"Okay, the tree will definitely live up to its mission."
Zhao Yiyan asked Zhong Liyue to leave, and after watching his figure disappear in front of him, Zhao Yiyan got up and closed the door and slowly spoke towards the air.
"Come out!"
A figure came out of nowhere, arching towards Zhao Yiyan.
"King Qingyang, please command."
Listening to the other party's loud words, Zhao Yiyan didn't seem to have any reaction, and his eyes looked through this person as if he had seen a far, far away.
"You go and choose twenty people to follow, it doesn't matter if that person is dead, your task is to protect Zhongliyue, you know?"
The other party frowned, and looked at Zhao Yiyan with some dissatisfaction.
"King Qingyang, this is absolutely impossible. We are here to protect you, you ......"
King Qingyang sneered.
"Protect me? You will always be hidden in the shadows, and you will not be seen. And if you could protect me, I wouldn't be hurt on the battlefield. Go now! It's time for you to see the sun! ”
The Emperor always thought that he had a private army in his hands, but in reality this was not the case.
When his great-grandfather accompanied the emperor to fight the world, he did have an army, but this army was different from other armies.
They exist only to do things that the emperor cannot do.
For example, when the emperor had no money, he went to rob the tomb, and for example, he went to assassinate.
After the emperor succeeded to the throne, the treasury was empty, and he had to hand them over to his grandfather to take care of them, and they still did their thing.
After all, if it were known that these people were directly responsible for the emperor, the emperor's prestige would probably fall to the bottom.
And who knows, after all these years, generation after generation of emperors have passed down by word of mouth, and such a team that could not see people has become a fragrant bait in the emperor's mouth, and has become a direct reason why the emperors are jealous of their family and suppress their family.
Zhao Yiyan knew that he had been receiving training in this area since he was very young, and perhaps because his father had already known that he was likely to die soon.
And now, the reason why they are allowed to come out is also because they are more comfortable doing this kind of thing.
They swore before their fathers and fathers that they would make good use of these people.
But he himself looked down on them, so over the years, he never asked them anything but to keep their leaders by his side, not a word.
And when Zhong Liyue saw these black-clothed people appearing in front of him, he couldn't help frowning.
Because, no matter how he looks at it, he thinks that these people are just ordinary people at all.
"You are the people sent to me by King Qingyang?"
"Yes, if the young general still has any questions, you can go back and ask King Qingyang. If not, it's not too early, and we need to hurry up. ”
After so many years, Zhao Yiyan has not assigned them tasks.
Finally, there was a task that they needed to do, and they were already gearing up to say that they couldn't wait.
Zhongli Yuehu glanced at them suspiciously, but he also knew that Zhao Yiyan would not deceive him, so he took them straight in the direction of the capital.
