"Then the emperor, should you ask Wei Daxun? He had been in the frontier for so many days, and he had never heard of the fact that the Shen family had a treasury. Zhao Zheng still didn't believe it.

"I have summoned Wei Daxun into the palace, just ask him in a moment."

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he didn't say anything anymore. But I wondered where this rumor came from.

Not long after, Wei Daxun also came to the Qinzheng Palace, greeted the emperor, and also greeted Zhao Zheng with a slight smile.

"I ask you, when you went to the frontier to investigate the case, did you hear some rumors about the Shen family from the locals?" Zhao Guang asked Wei Daxun.

"What does the emperor mean by the rumors?"

"It is said that Shen Qingshan has a private vault, have you heard of this?"

Wei Daxun shook his head blankly, "Weichen didn't hear it. ”

Wei Daxun did not report Shen Yuexi's words to the emperor, but this rumor still spread in the court, presumably it was done by the Seventh Princess.

Wei Daxun didn't understand why the Seventh Princess could tell herself about it in advance since she could spread the rumors to the palace.

"Then do you think Shen Qingshan will have such a secret vault?" Zhao Guang asked Wei Daxun.

Wei Daxun looked at Zhao Zheng, "Seventh Master, have you ever heard the Seventh Princess mention this matter?" ”

At this moment, Wei Daxun was careful in everything he said, for fear that he would accidentally say the wrong thing and cause trouble.

Zhao Zheng shook his head.

Wei Daxun was even more confused, the Seventh Princess had never even said anything about this matter, why did she tell him first?

"I haven't even heard of the Seventh Prince, so it must be a rumor, right?" Wei Daxun said with a smile.

"Maybe the Seventh Princess doesn't know? Maybe the Seventh Princess didn't want to tell the Seventh Prince even if she knew? Zhao Guang told all kinds of possibilities.

Wei Daxun had nothing to say. Zhao Zheng didn't speak either.

Zhao Guang looked at them, and said slowly: "Maybe the Seventh Princess said it, and the Seventh Prince doesn't want others to know about it?" ”

"The emperor is clear, the younger brother has never heard Yuexi talk about it." Zhao Zheng hurriedly said.

Zhao Guang smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking." ”

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Zhao Guang sighed, "Now that the imperial court is expanding its army, it is in urgent need of military salaries and materials, the treasury is empty, if taxes are increased and the people's resentment is boiling, if you can really find Shen Qingshan's treasury, it will be really a merit." ”

Wei Daxun and Zhao Zheng listened and did not speak.

"I will entrust this matter to the two of you, you," Zhao Guang said to Wei Daxun, "Go and interrogate Shen Yi, you," Zhao Guang looked at Zhao Zheng again, "Go back and ask the Seventh Princess, you must make this matter clear." ”

Wei Daxun only understood what the Seventh Princess meant at this moment, and the reason why she told him about this matter in advance was because she knew that no matter whether he would report this matter to the emperor or not, in the end, the errand to find out about this matter would fall on him.

The Seventh Princess just said hello to him in advance. He hadn't seen that the Seventh Princess was such a scheming woman.

"Seventh Master, what do you think?" They each received the emperor's order and went out of the Qinzheng Palace, Wei Daxun asked Zhao Zheng.

"Nature is a non-existent thing." Zhao Zheng replied.

But even if it is a fictitious thing, now that the emperor is in urgent need of silver, I am afraid it is easy to have great hopes for the fictitious thing, and the emperor is very suspicious, I am afraid that in the future, if there is no treasury, the emperor will not believe it, and will only think that Zhao Zheng has swallowed this treasury privately.

"The Seventh Princess never told you about this?" Wei Daxun asked tentatively again.

Zhao Zheng looked at Wei Daxun, "What are you suspecting?" ”

Wei Daxun shook his head with a smile, "It's just curious to ask, I don't know if this vault is there or not." ”

"Naturally, no, if there were, Shen Qingshan would not have lived such a hard life in the border city." Zhao Zheng said.

"Maybe he just doesn't want to show his wealth, first faint the light, and wait until the court has almost forgotten about him."

"Then Yuexi won't trek to the capital to ask for help after the Shen family was killed, just go directly to the vault."

Wei Daxun nodded, "Seventh Prince, what you said is also right. ”

The two left the palace, and Wei Daxun prepared to go back to Dali Temple to interrogate Shen Yi.

"Seventh Prince, do you want to go?" Wei Daxun asked Zhao Zheng.

"The emperor asked you to interrogate Shen Yi, it's not appropriate for me to go." Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said goodbye to Wei Daxun at the gate of the palace.

Wei Daxun sighed and walked towards Dali Temple helplessly, he felt that he was being drawn into a conspiracy.

**

In the palace, Shen Yuexi sat on the bench in the Huxin Pavilion, guessing what would happen to Zhao Zheng when he entered the palace this time.

Zhao Zheng returned to the house and saw Shen Yuexi enjoying the shade in the Huxin Pavilion, so he walked over.

Shen Yuexi and Zhao Zheng looked at each other, each wanting to read something from each other's eyes.

"The emperor heard a rumor from somewhere, saying that your Shen family has a treasury, and the treasury of Nanxia is empty, and the emperor is looking forward to using this treasury to fill the treasury." After looking at each other, Zhao Zheng said slowly.

"I spread it." Shen Yuexi said calmly.

Zhao Zheng was stunned, and then asked calmly, "Why is this?" ”

"Instead of letting my brother wait for death hopelessly day after day, it is better to stir up the situation, and maybe there is a glimmer of life."

"Then why didn't you consult with me beforehand?"

"Would you agree to consult with you?" Shen Yuexi smiled faintly, "You think it's okay as long as your brother is alive, but it's not, it's better for him to die like this in the dark and consuming his life on death row, haven't you ever been to death row to see him?" You know where death row is, how it's different from hell? I can't tolerate my brother staying in that kind of place all the time. ”

"Then you should also discuss with me, and you shouldn't do it yourself."

"Seventh Master, there is no better relationship between us than before, how many times I have mentioned my brother's matter to you before, do you remember? But you didn't take it to heart," Shen Yuexi smiled, "I don't blame you for sitting idly by, it's really too difficult to rescue my brother." ”

"How do you know that I don't take it to heart? If I hadn't interceded with the Queen Mother, even if you were pregnant, Shen Yi might not be able to live, and the emperor's promise not to execute Shen Yi was already the biggest concession. ”

Shen Yuexi sighed, "That's because I blamed you, Seventh Master." ”

It doesn't matter if it's wrong or weird, Shen Yuexi knows that she and Zhao Zheng are not the same as before.

"Yuexi, what the hell do you want to do?" After a while, Zhao Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"I hope my brother gets out of death row." Shen Yuexi said.

"It's as simple as that?"

"Or else?" Shen Yuexi looked at Zhao Zheng.

"But have you ever thought that if you do this, you will put you and Shen Yi in a dangerous place, once the rumors go away, not only the emperor, but also more people who want to fight your brothers and sisters, how will you protect yourself at that time?"

"Leave it to fate." Shen Yuexi gritted her teeth and said.

"Resigned to fate?" Zhao Zheng was a little angry, "You can resign yourself to fate alone, but what about the child in your womb?" What about the Kangping Palace? They will all be in danger in the future, how can you be so selfish? ”

"I can leave the palace." Shen Yuexi said and stood up.

"Where can you go without the palace?"

"Go to Ku, after all, he is the father of this child."

Shen Yuexi said this sentence so indifferently and calmly, Zhao Zheng was almost angry, he grabbed Shen Yuexi, "Did you have this idea for a long time?" ”

"No," Shen Yuexi shook her head, "If I wanted to stay by my side, I wouldn't have gone back to the capital with you in the first place, but the world has made people have a clumsy child, because of this child, we are destined not to go back to the past, Seventh Master, you also understand, you are not as good as before, so I don't want to force it, because I also know that this matter is my fault." ”

Shen Yuexi was so calm that Zhao Zheng had nothing to say. Because what Shen Yuexi said was right.

"You can't leave the palace." However, Zhao Zheng was still reluctant to let her go.

"So why bother? Instead of seeing me feel bad every day, it's better to let me go one by one. ”

"If I say no, I won't do it, from today on, you will stay in the palace for a good time, and you are not allowed to act rashly again."

Shen Yuexi stopped talking, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Zhao Zheng turned to leave. Shen Yuexi looked at his back from behind and breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, Zhao Zheng would still help her deal with the chaos she created.

**

However, for several days, Zhao Guang did not summon Zhao Zheng, which is a bit abnormal.

Four days later, Zhao Zheng received news that the king of southern Yunnan had rebelled, and had united the anti-imperial forces in Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangzhou, and other places to attack all the way to the north.

The emperor was too busy dealing with Pang Yun's rebellion to take care of the Shen family.

This matter is not trivial, Zhao Zheng immediately went to Yunyou Temple after learning the news.

Master Huineng was also a little surprised, Pang Yun was plotting chaos, Nanxia was no longer peaceful, and no one knew what would happen.

"The king of southern Yunnan dares to rebel, it must have been prepared for a long time, plus he has colluded with many civil forces, I am afraid that this time it will not be so easy to suppress." Huineng said.

Zhao Zheng nodded and was silent.

At this moment, when Southern Xia was in danger, the emperor did not reveal the slightest rumor to him, which shows that he is still wary of him. Since the emperor did not summon him, it was not good for him to rush into the palace to meet him, so he could only wait and see what happened.

"Now the only generals in the DPRK and China who can take on heavy responsibilities are Xiao Yifu, Tong Guan, Xu Du, and Tong Guan are stationed in the western Xinjiang, which is too far away, and only Xiao Yifu and Tong Guan's troops can be quickly mobilized, these two generals ......" Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng sighed.

These two generals may indeed have the style of generals, but Southern Xia has not had a war for more than ten years, and now they are in a hurry, and I don't know if their combat effectiveness is the same as before.

"If it is not against the rebellious party, will the emperor ask Beihu for help?" Huineng asked.

Zhao Zheng shook his head, he didn't know what would happen to the emperor, and he didn't know how those military ministers would give advice.

"You should still inquire and know what the court means." Huineng said.

Zhao Zheng nodded, he naturally had a way to inquire, although the directors of various institutions were people around the emperor, but under them, there were also people from Zhao Zheng.

The court has always been like this, and people are secretly attached to it, hoping for a day when the peaks and loops will turn.
