At the end of the year, after several consecutive defeats, the four southern countries relied on the geographical advantage of being a husband and a man, as well as the fatigue of the Yongjun's continuous battles, and could hold on.

Seeing that the battle situation was at a stalemate, Wen Yanzi decided to settle the matter of his name first.

It has not been a day or two since the Great Wei royal family has been a puppet, although it is said that whether it is Shen Zangfeng's King Ding or Wen Yanzi's King Yong, they have been recognized by Emperor Xingping, but the people who actually 'operated' were all Huo Zhao's 'jade'. Emperor Xingping himself only knew afterwards which king he had "again" crowned.

So everyone thinks that the only obstacle to this matter is a reason to cover up.

…… In fact, there is nothing to do without a reason, do you still need a reason for the violent death of the last emperor? Therefore, in the eyes of almost everyone, this matter is all Wen Yanzi's return to the imperial capital.

But what no one expected was that Wen Yanzi, who had originally gone south to the front line to boost morale, was blocked by the forbidden army stationed in Gyeonggi when he arrived in Gyeonggi.

The commander of the forbidden army who was in charge of blocking the road said what "why did King Yongwang return to Beijing without the emperor's order", and asked Wen Yanzi and his party all looked at him like a neurotic - but this sounds like the commander of the forbidden army who has not taken 'medicine', and his 'look' is 'serious', not like a person who has not taken 'medicine'!

The emperor has changed!

After hearing the laughter of Lingzi and the others, they all immediately thought of this!

The first one to be suspected was Shen Zangfeng, who was originally considered to be the most likely master of the world, if it weren't for his bad luck, even Wen Yanzi would be ready to return after the defeat. He had returned to Gyeonggi to recuperate because of his poor health, and by the way, he helped to take a look at the southern side of the country...... Is it a plan here?

At this time, even if there was no forbidden army to stop him, Wen Yanzi didn't want to enter Gyeonggi easily, so he summoned the spies from Gyeonggi to inquire, but learned that everything was normal since Shen Zangfeng returned to 'Jade' Bamboo Town. It is said that the day before yesterday, he took his wife and children and nieces and nieces and righteous daughters to hunt for a day, and only in the evening did he go back happily with the fox and rabbit things...... No matter how you look at it, it's really recuperating your body with peace of mind.

If it weren't for Shen Zangfeng...... Wen Yanzi didn't suspect 'confused' for too long, and learned that Huo Zhao's 'jade' instigated the Great Wei Jiechen in Beijing to close the imperial capital and send forbidden troops along the way to stop him.

Huo Zhao 'Jade'...... Is this a loss of heart?

This result is even more shocking than what Shen Zangfeng did.

Shen Zangfeng was too damaged by the Xiliang Army and his own body was wrong, he was worried about his wife and young children, and he didn't dare to take risks, so he gave up. And Huo Zhao's 'jade'...... He's just a courtier's life from beginning to end, okay?

Not to mention that Huo Zhao's 'jade' had already hooked up with Wen Lingzi's side, what kind of loyal minister was he pretending to be at this time...... It's not like this without eyes!

He just didn't want to lead hundreds of officials to go out of the city with the 'jade' seal to greet him for a hundred miles, and wanted to save face, so he closed the treasury and went back to the mansion of the eldest princess of Anji, waiting for Wen Yanzi to invite him out of the mountain, and it was almost the same if he took this shelf - it can be said that he is powerless to save Dawei, but he is worried that the world can't bear not to do things for the people of the world! Anyway, now that the change of dynasty is imminent, he is not the only one who has changed the 'door' court!

Now, instead he sent the forbidden army in his hand to seal the city, and stopped Wen Yanzi along the road......

Even Wei Xinyong was a little confused!

However, Wei Xinyong's wisdom far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he came to his senses after a moment of confusion and asked, "What about Gu Xinian and the others?" ”

The spy was sweating profusely and said: "The city 'gate' is closed in a hurry, and the subordinates have not yet found ......."

"Why did Huo Zhao 'Jade' do this?" Liu Rong was surprised, "Your Majesty is planning to give him a generous gift!" "Wen Lingzi returned to the imperial capital this time to be the emperor on behalf of Wei, and the people around him changed their words on the way back in order to ask for a fortune - Wen Lingzi was interested, and he also made some arrangements for rewarding the emperor after he was called the emperor.

Among them, Huo Zhao's 'jade' is determined to be Wei Xinyong's deputy in the future - and then succeed Wei Xinyong, which is equivalent to saying that it is an accurate future with one person and ten thousand people above the future.

This is because Wei Xinyong's health has become worse and worse in the past two years, even if he is given a high-ranking official after hearing that Lingzi is the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to preside over political affairs for a few years. And Huo Zhao's 'jade' Yunxia Huo clan is not very outstanding among the world's scholars, and there are two opponents, Qingzhou Su and Xiliang Shen, if he does not rely on the imperial power, he will not have a way to live at all.

What's more, he has presided over the imperial capital over the years, although it is in the 'chaotic' world, he has also kept the vicinity of Gyeonggi in good order, which shows his talent in this regard.

…… In Wen Yanzi's heart, Huo Zhao's 'jade' may not be comparable to Shen Zangfeng's rank, but in terms of trust and dependence, as well as the actual power given, Huo Zhao's 'jade' must far surpass the latter.

Listening to Liu Rong's words at this moment, Wen Yanzi said expressionlessly: "Order someone to pass on Shen Zangfeng!" ”

"No." Wei Xinyong frowned, but stopped, "The 'gate' of the city was closed last night, and yesterday Shen Zangfeng went out hunting with his family and went back to the best of his ability." Now he comes to say that he doesn't know anything, and it makes sense! ”

Wen Yanzi said hesitantly: "The others are in Gyeonggi, so they don't know anything?" ”

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will tell you 'privately'." Wei Xinyong noticed that Wen Yanzi's attitude towards speaking to him had been much more majestic recently, and he was no longer as kind as before, and even asked for advice, and his heart was stunned, and his face was silent.

In the end, he has a great credit to Wen Lingzi, although Wen Lingzi does not trust and rely on him as much as before, but the dignity that should be given cannot be deserved.

After sending the rest of the people away, Wei Xinyong asked slowly: "Does Your Majesty want others to say that Your Majesty is not sure to knock on the imperial capital in person, so you have to use Shen Zangfeng's prestige?" ”

These words made Wen Yanzi stunned, and then he was shocked: "Not bad! Now you really can't call Shen Zangfeng to ......"

"Actually, Shen Zangfeng didn't 'intervene' this time, just for this reason." Wei Xinyong said lightly, "Otherwise, since he has decided to submit to His Majesty, even his younger brother is leading the Xiliang Army to fight for His Majesty...... Why do you still want to be angry with Your Majesty? Shen Zangfeng's personality is not such a petty family, he will not easily repeat his mind - so this time the imperial capital must be recaptured by His Majesty himself! ”

Since there are no outsiders now, there are some things that Wen Yanzi can also say: "Mr. Wei may have guessed what Huo Zhao's 'jade' move meant?" If Huo Zhao's 'jade' is a person who is truly loyal to the monarch, how can he be willing to serve the Su family in his early years? Even if he turned against the Su clan later, didn't he treat the Wei family like a puppet? ”

Speaking of this, Wen Yanzi's face was a little ugly, obviously thinking that the Qingzhou Su clan was a scholar clan whose 'door' was higher than Yunxia Huo, could it be that Huo Zhao's 'jade' was forced to collude with him 'privately' due to the situation, but he really looked down on himself in his heart? This is not that he has excessive inferiority, but that this is the general view at this time.

It is the Shu people, and many people are also accustomed to such a concept.

Wei Xinyong said indifferently: "The minister has no clue now, the news sent from the imperial capital before did not mention anything unusual about Huo Zhao's 'jade'. However, this may be deceived by Huo Zhao's 'jade', this person is extraordinarily talented in handling political affairs, and the imperial capital seems to have been 'inserted' by all parties over the years, in fact, Huo Zhao's 'jade' hand is really pervasive in the imperial capital and Gyeonggi! This can be seen from the fact that this time he closed the imperial capital and sent people to stop His Majesty, and we didn't know anything about it! ”

After a pause, he added, "As for what he has in mind, it's not difficult." Now that the imperial capital is closed by a forbidden army, how can it be difficult to get Your Majesty? His Majesty directly sent someone to take down the city and tied him up to ask, that's it. ”

Originally, Wen Yanzi also had this intention, but Shen Zangfeng's lesson last year made him hesitate a little: "The ...... of the severe epidemic that was 'made' by the Rong people sacrifice last year"

That's something that thousands of troops can't stop! You must know that in the early years, when I heard that the road was blue, I had to go into battle in person, and I often rode horses. Now that he has an identity, he also pays attention to whether the son of his daughter can sit in the hall, and he travels in a sedan chair......

Besides, there was also that kind of severe epidemic in Gyeonggi last year, if Huo Zhao's 'jade' wanted to 'yin' him, it was not that there was nothing. Wen Yanzi is now one step away from that position, and it is human nature to refuse to take risks.

"Your Majesty forgot that the weather is cold now, why are there fleas?" Wei Xinyong snorted, "Besides, if Huo Zhao's 'jade' has the intention of assassinating His Majesty, why should he let His Majesty guard against it?" In the opinion of the minister, I am afraid that his method of helping His Majesty is particularly unique. ”

"Even so, it's just a bloodline expulsion and stealing life." At the same time, in 'Jade' Zhuzhen, Shen Zangfeng, who was wearing a blue brocade robe, was playing chess with Zhang Luoning, who came to visit with his wife, and said lightly, "It's just that he really has some ability, and he can drag so many families into the water." ”

Zhang Luoning said: "You may not believe it, do you think this idea was come up by Huo Zhao 'Yu' himself?" He listened to the words of others, and I am afraid that you may not be able to guess this person. ”

Shen Zangfeng sighed and said, "I can't guess?" So it's definitely not a person to speculate on? He thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it my cousin-in-law Su?" ”

"Did you really guess that?" Zhang Luoning was very surprised, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's him!" ”

"Although Cousin-in-law Su is known as a strange family, he actually has no bad intentions, how could he come up with such a ruthless plan?" Shen Zangfeng said dumbly, "What he said must not be like this." What did Huo Zhao's 'jade' mean? ”

Zhang Luoning said: "As soon as the south retreats to the Tiger Roaring Gorge, we estimate that once the Yongjun army can't break through the pass in a short time, Wen Yanzi will definitely return to the imperial capital first to determine the name." At that time, Huo Zhao's 'jade' was very preoccupied, and he couldn't handle official affairs. Gu Ziyang and the others knew that he was afraid of the revenge of you and the Su family, but he didn't have any good plans, so he invited him to drink together to kill his sorrows after a business trip-he rushed Gu Zilie to find Gu Ziyang, and after hearing about it...... You also know that he is the person, how can he not go with him? ”

The occasion when Gu Naizheng appeared, no matter whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, it would definitely become very strange because of his appearance in the end......

This time is no exception.
