Don't tell her this first, it sounds like it's explaining something. After the deed is done, he will naturally explain everything clearly, and if the matter fails, everything will be carried into the dust along with his bones.

If he wins, he will definitely leave a way for his eldest brother to live. But if the big brother wins...... When it came to this, he really couldn't eat it. Even if the eldest brother is willing to let him live, the Zhou family will not let the eldest brother do this, and he will definitely do something in secret. At that time, he thought that the knife and axe were fish and meat, and life and death were up to him.

Rong Yunxi stayed here for a while, tried it repeatedly, and saw that King Chen had indeed bitten to death, and King Yong would not do anything during the autumn hunt, so he was a little relieved. I still haven't settled the account with him, so I can't forgive him like this. So he didn't stay long, and left coldly.

"I said, why are you like this? It's so fast to change your face! Wasn't it okay just now? Why are you suddenly cold? King Chen shouted behind her, pulling his neck.

Hearing that King Chen was very angry, Rong Yunxi was more relieved.

didn't even give him a response, just opened the door and went out.

"Hey...... How about you say goodbye! King Chen's voice had been locked in the door.

shook her head helplessly, feeling that sure enough, the woman's heart was needled, and she really didn't know what she was doing.

He still wants to stay with her for a while, he always feels that his days are less and less, and he doesn't know if he will have this opportunity in the future.

……

Time passed negligently, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the eighth autumn hunt in early September.

Last night, King Chen rested directly in Qin Yingyue's courtyard, as early as the day before yesterday, King Chen wanted to take Qin Yingyue to Mengshan together, instead of Rong Yunxi's matter, it had spread all over King Chen's mansion, and even spread throughout the entire Kyoto City.

But before the news that King Chen was going to take Qin Yingyue to Mengshan with him, there was another thing about King Chen's Mansion, which also became the after-dinner conversation of the people of Kyoto.

It's just that what is rumored outside is not the exact reality of that night. Regarding the rainy night that night, it was rumored that King Chen was originally resting in Miss Qi's courtyard, but because the princess was most afraid of thunderstorms, as soon as she heard the thunder outside, she ignored the torrential rain, just put on a single coat and ran to the princess's courtyard. Because of this, he caught a cold and was sick for three days.

This rumor, coupled with the fact that King Chen did not go to court for three days, now everyone in Kyoto City knows how much His Royal Highness King Chen cherishes the princess. Therefore, this sudden and embarrassing princess Yong has to go to Mengshan together, which naturally causes a lot of discussions.

In the past few days, the gossip in Kyoto City has revolved around the affairs of King Chen's Mansion, and even the illness of the queen in Weiyang Palace has not been cared about very much.

In the three days when King Chen was not in court, there was another thing that was also covered by these love entanglements in King Chen's mansion. In fact, this matter is far more important than who King Chen loves. It's just that no outsiders know about this matter, except for King Chen, King Yong, Zhenguo Mansion and the emperor, as well as Du Fengsheng, who is in the early stages.

On the second day after King Chen said that he was ill, Du Fengsheng went to the imperial study to ask to see the emperor. secretly played a copy of Zhou Yan to the emperor......

Du Fengsheng said, "Your Majesty, a friend of Weichen surnamed Zhao, when he once traveled to Kyoto, because of his admiration for Da Honglu's talent, he spent some money to visit the Zhou Mansion, and he can barely be called friends with Da Honglu. But a few days ago, he traveled to Luzhou, but in a restaurant, he saw Zhou Qingshan, who had been assigned to the frontier. He repeatedly confirmed that this was very strange, so he secretly drew a portrait and wanted to go back and find out again......"

"Brother Zhao has been quite accomplished in painting since he was a child, and his painting is much faster and more accurate than ordinary people. After a while, he drew the portrait, secretly compared it with the people at the next table, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he left the restaurant. I went back and looked at it carefully for a long time, how I looked at it, how it looked like the great Honglu I saw in Kyoto City four years ago......"

Brother Zhao didn't dare to hide this matter, and he happened to want to go around Kyoto City, so he brought the portrait and asked Weichen to help him take a look. Weichen got this portrait the day before yesterday, and he also looked at it at home for a long time, how do you look at it, how do you look like a big Honglu. Therefore, I didn't dare to be negligent, and thought, I don't care if it's true or not, it's better to tell your majesty about it. ”

The emperor listened patiently to his words, and at the same time measured the truth of what he said in his heart. But because no one is in Luzhou, I don't know who Du Fengsheng's friend surnamed Zhao is. It's hard to tell for a while. Seeing Du Fengsheng holding a scroll of paintings in his hand, he said, "Present it and show it to me." ”

"Yes." Du Fengsheng presented the scroll to the emperor with both hands.

Li Zhonggui, who was standing behind the emperor, took it and unfolded it for the emperor......

When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help but "sizzle" lightly: "This painting ......"

"Your Majesty, this painting is so realistic and detailed, and the technique is so familiar......," Li Zhonggui said.

The emperor looked at it carefully for a long time and said, "Three years ago, the imperial examination was ...... is the same Zhao ...... as Du Qing Zhao what's coming......"

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave remembers, it seems to be called Zhao Yu. This painting is indeed exactly the same as the one he painted for the minions back then. Li Zhonggui said.

The emperor said: "Yes, I called the top three to the imperial study to come to the top one, because of Zhou Qingshan's recommendation, saying that the fourth and fifth place articles are also very good, in fact, there is no gap with the third place, it is difficult to choose for a while, so I can only tentatively take the fourth and fifth places, and I suggest that I also call them to take a look." I called them all over at that moment. Among them, the fourth place is this Zhao Yu. ”

Li Zhonggui said with a smile: "Yes, at that time, Your Majesty felt that Zhao Shusheng's temperament was too casual, although he was very literate, but he was not suitable for the court. Therefore, only a foreign official from a county was released to him. He accepted this official and only served for a year, then resigned and went home. When he resigned, His Majesty still laughed, saying that the son of a merchant was better to go home to do business, and he finally found his place. ”

Du Fengsheng said: "Your Majesty has a good memory, and my father-in-law remembers it well." Brother Zhao is indeed in the same department as Weichen, and he is also a fellow villager of Weichen. Brother Zhao's family is in Qizhou Mansion, and he is a well-known silk merchant with a solid family background. Don't hide it from Your Majesty, in fact, after the palace election that year, Brother Zhao once said to Weichen in private, in fact, he had no intention of being an official, but just wanted to gain a reputation and glorify the lintel......"

With all due respect, according to Wechen's speculation, the reason why Brother Zhao visited Dahonglu a year before the imperial examination was to ensure that he could gain fame. And Da Honglu received the money back then, and he did a practical thing. Otherwise, afterwards, when Brother Zhao was drunk, he would not have a lot of criticism of Da Honglu's behavior...... In fact, Brother Zhao is a very upright person, but he always can't resist his family's intentions. ”

"It's all in the past," the emperor said, "and he does have some real talent himself." The fourth place was ordered that year, and it was indeed well deserved. Speaking of which, he spent unjustly money...... Is he in your house now? ”

Du Fengsheng shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Brother Zhao has been living in Tianxiang Building for the past few days. ”

The emperor smiled: "He is still as romantic as ever, and I envy his days a little...... Go and send him. ”

He added, "Be sure to be quiet." ”

"Yes, Wechen will do it." Du Fengsheng also replied solemnly.

In fact, there is no need to explain anything, as long as the emperor sees the portrait of the same technique, he will naturally be able to believe what he says. I have to admire His Royal Highness King Chen's thinking, and he can even think of using this trick to expose the fact that Zhou Qingshan is still alive. Not much to say, His Royal Highness King Chen is indeed very far-sighted. I had long expected that Brother Zhao's painting skills would come in handy, and I had been paying attention to Brother Zhao's side and taking care of his business.

The emperor asked him to go to Brother Zhao to come over, but he already believed most of it. called Brother Zhao over, probably to ask him where he saw the people and what other clues he had.

Du Fengsheng quickly went to find Zhao Yu, but not quietly. He counted the time when Zhang Fuhai went to Ruyi Liquor Shop to sell wine and entered the palace, and also calculated the approximate time to go out of the palace to find someone. calculated that he could just collide with Zhang Fuhai, so he started to do it. Of course, these are also calculated by King Chen.

Du Fengsheng arrived at Tianxianglou, and Zhao Yu watched by the window, and saw Zhang Fuhai carrying the wine jar to the side of the main street, waited for a while, and calculated that he could just walk a few steps in front of Zhang Fuhai, and went downstairs.

Every ten days, Zhang Fuhai has to take advantage of the fact that the palace is not busy in the morning to go to the Ruyi Wine Shop to sell a jar of medicinal wine that strengthens the muscles and bones, so as to drink it for ten days. Today, I was carrying the wine jar back to the house, and suddenly saw Du Fengsheng pulling a young man dressed as a rich man, sneakily coming out of Tianxiang Building. I looked around cautiously, maybe I didn't find anything, so I walked forward quickly.

Zhang Fuhai is the most powerful entourage of King Yong, and he can clearly understand which ministers in the court are the people around King Yong and which ministers are the people around King Chen. For example, Du Fengsheng, who is a different person with a sophisticated relationship, is naturally in the camp of King Chen. Coupled with Du Fengsheng's identity as an official, as long as you see him, you will inevitably mention it. What's more, he is still sneaky at this time?

Therefore, Zhang Fuhai hurriedly followed secretly...... I saw that Du Fengsheng actually took this rich man into the North Palace Gate. suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly went back to report to his master.

In fact, Du Fengsheng looked around just now and saw Zhang Fuhai. just deliberately swept over him quietly, as if it was swept around so painlessly.

After making sure that Zhang Fuhai did see it, he waited for the reaction from King Yong's side.

Zhao Yu entered the imperial study, said "Wanfu Jin'an" to the emperor, and waited quietly for the emperor's question.

The emperor asked him in detail about seeing Zhou Qingshan in Luzhou City, and Zhao Yu explained in detail what King Chen sent to him and Du Fengsheng repeated to him. said that the person's appearance, speech and demeanor were indeed exactly the same as Zhou Qingshan. It's just that the clothes are not as luxurious as in the past, and they seem to be deliberately restrained. He was followed by a few men who looked like entourage, all of them were sturdy, and they looked like practitioners.

He also said that in the past few days in Luzhou, in order to avoid the entanglement of a good friend, he deliberately made himself a bearded man, and Zhou Qingshan did not notice him. When he first saw Zhou Qingshan, he originally wanted to say hello, but suddenly thought that Zhou Qingshan was exiled, which was a matter of telling the world, why did he suddenly appear in Luzhou City at this time? So he kept an eye on it, and pretended not to know.

The emperor asked, "Have you seen him settle down?" Who else is there besides the guards? ”
