The next day, the news that the second prince of the Duke of Lu Guofu was drunk at a banquet and accidentally fell into a coma, but this news did not make any splash in Beijing, because the situation in the northwest is becoming increasingly severe, and the people of the Northern Desert frequently enter and leave the northwest. Originally, he was bent on opposing King Qin leading troops to the northwest to exterminate the rebellious prince, but this time he suddenly changed his mind and agreed with King Qin, but he suggested that the emperor should order Xiao Xiyang, the general of Wucheng Xiao, to send troops to assist King Qin. As soon as these words came out, not only the emperor was surprised, but even Chu Muzhi himself was also surprised.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess the deep meaning of Chu Yanzhi's move. In the past, he was afraid that Chu Muzhi would collude with Zheng Lin and Beimo once he left Beijing, but now he is convinced that he and Zhongyong Houfu are against each other, and there are Yan Guifei and Gu Qingyou in Beijing, even if he really has that meaning, he has to think about it a few times. Moreover, the emperor already had the intention of giving Chu Muzhi the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and it was obviously more harmful to him to keep him in the capital than good, so it was the best choice to let him out of the capital at this moment. Once Chu Muzhi left Beijing, in addition to the eight thousand imperial forest troops and the military department held by Xiang Mingxuan, Dali Temple and the personal soldiers of the palaces, the Shence camp of Zhangshu was the most important barracks closest to the capital. As soon as Chu Mu leaves, it means that the entire capital is under the control of the crown prince Chu Yanzhi.

Chu Yanzhi's abacus was good, but the emperor was not to be outdone, and sent the king of Qin to the northwest for a holy decree, and the emperor immediately ordered the two sons of Zhang Shu to enter Yanyunwei.

The two fathers and sons, the emperor and Chu Yanzhi, were fighting like a fire, but Chu Muzhi, the king of Qin, was so anxious that he jumped to his feet when he received this holy decree.

What's going on?

Let him lead the troops to exterminate Zheng Lin, is there any mistake, the soldiers under Zheng Lin were secretly raised and lent to him by Chu Xizhi. Isn't this beating yourself? At the beginning, the plan was to let the prince go, why did it become him now?

But Chu Muzhi was in a hurry, but Chu Xizhi, who was hiding in the hot spring villa in the west of the city, didn't send anyone to him at all.

In this way, not only Chu Mu was in a hurry, but even Zhang Ge Lao and Xu Sheng, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still, and went straight to the Qin Palace.

After making sure that there was no one in Zhou, Zhang Ge Lao suppressed his voice and said, "Lord Wang, let's hurry up and think of passing this news to King Yan!" ”

The news that Chu Xizhi is still alive is only known to a few cronies, and Zhang Ge Lao Xu Sheng is one of them. At the beginning, Chu Yanzhi planted a lot of eyeliner around the Qin Palace, and it was Lu Haichuan who took Chu Xizhi's jade pendant to convey his plan to the two.

Chu Muzhi frowned, "I think, Seventh Brother should have received the news?" ”

"What does His Royal Highness King Yan mean?" Zhang Ge Lao couldn't wait.

After listening to Zhang Ge Lao's words, Chu Muzhi's brows tightened even tighter, "There is no news from Seventh Brother's side. ”

"Lord, the holy decree was only issued today, how can King Yan know the news of the capital so quickly when he is far away in Wucheng." Compared with Zhang Gelao's urgency, Xu Sheng thought of a key point.

When Chu Muyi heard Xu Sheng's words, he immediately hesitated, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Ge was always short-tempered, and when he saw Chu Muzhi's appearance, his eyes widened at the moment, and he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, you are talking!" ”

Chu Muzhi glanced at Zhang Ge Lao in embarrassment, "Actually, Seventh Brother is in the capital......"

"What!" Zhang Ge was so angry that his beard shook, "His Royal Highness King Yan is in the capital?" Where is he in the capital? ”

Chu Muzhi looked at Zhang Ge Lao, stiffly held the corners of his mouth and smiled.

On the other hand, Xu Sheng said with a gloomy face, "Elder Ge, do you still need to ask this?" Where Princess Yan is, His Royal Highness King Yan is naturally there. ”

"Hu Brain!" Zhang Ge was so angry that he almost swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

What kind of situation is the capital now, King Yan dares to come to the capital, if it is discovered, so the plan will not be in vain!

"Elder Ge doesn't need to be angry, in fact, His Royal Highness King Yan's move may not be the best, and don't hear it, the most dangerous place is the safest place." Xu Sheng said calmly.

"That's it." Chu Muzhi shouted continuously.

Zhang Ge Lao has a temper tantrum, except for his seventh brother, I am afraid that no one can cure him.

At the beginning, I didn't know which point of the seventh brother got into his eyes, so that he respected the seventh brother so much, and recognized him wholeheartedly and assisted him.

"Then what does it mean to be King Yan now?" Zhang Ge said angrily.

Chu Muzhi turned his face away and secretly wiped a handful of sweat.

Don't say that Zhang Ge is old, even he doesn't understand, what does Seventh Brother mean by his indifference?

"I think that King Yan didn't respond, maybe he wanted to...... Will be counted. Xu Sheng hesitated for a while, and finally said with a solemn face.

"Will it be calculated?" Chu Muzhi and Zhang Ge Lao said in unison, and then the two glanced at each other, and they both saw hesitation and incomprehension in each other's eyes.

"In the past few days, news has come from the palace that the number and quantity of the emperor's consumption of Jindan have increased." Xu Sheng said with a calm face.

"What? Lord Xu, what do you mean by this......" Boss Zhang Ge was shocked.

Xu Sheng twisted his eyebrows, and said with a solemn face, "Xiaguan is just a wild test, if there is still no news from King Yan tomorrow, then you will receive the order to go out of Beijing." ”

Chu Muzhi nodded solemnly, "Okay." ”

King Qin's mansion was solemn, and someone who knew all this took advantage of the night to enter Xiao Xiwei's boudoir again.

Xiao Xiwei is used to sleeping until midnight and there will be one more person by her side, but she can't sleep tonight. Therefore, almost as soon as Chu Xi entered the house, she lifted the curtain.

"Why hasn't Madame slept today? No...... You're waiting for a husband, right? Chu Xizhi smiled and climbed onto the bed, and Shun Shen lowered his head and stole a fragrant kiss.

"Why didn't you go back?" Xiao Xi frowned slightly.

"Go back?" Chu Xizhi frowned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Xiwei's words, "Madam, where do you want me to go back?" ”

"Don't tell me that Mu Zhi didn't let someone send you a message?" Xiao Xi stared at Chu Xidao with a slightly calm face.

Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and touched his nose, "There has been such a little bit of news, but is this important?" ”

Xiao Xiwei's face changed suddenly, and his eyebrows were already solemn, "It's a pity, how did you plan?" Originally, didn't Chu Yanzhi go to the northwest? ”

As long as one of Chu Yan goes out of Beijing and takes him, then the victory will naturally be decided.

Looking at Xiao Xi's slightly solemn face, Chu Xizhi sighed, "Xiwei, have you ever thought that if a cautious person like Chu Yanzhi is not very sure, do you think he will leave the capital?" ”

Although the generals under Chu Yanzhi's hands were pulled out by the emperor, as long as he kept to himself, it was impossible for the emperor to touch him, so for Chu Yanzhi, the capital was a safe place. Moreover, now, he has the card of chapters, so he can naturally keep the capital firmly. Therefore, let Chu Muzhi go out of Beijing, first, to test whether Zheng Lin has the secret support of Chu Muzhi in seizing the northwest, second, to test whether Xiao Xiyang is still standing on Chu Muzhi's ship, and third, if Chu Muzhi leaves, he will definitely vigorously purge their people in the court, which is really a one-shot count.

"I guess...... He will definitely give your brother an order in secret. Chu Xizhi suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei's eyes quietly, "He will let your brother secretly get rid of Mu Zhi." ”

Xiao Xi's eyes sank suddenly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Chu Xizhi smiled suddenly with his eyes in his eyes, "Wei'er, you say, how could the one in the Chongde Hall suddenly remember to give him the daughter of the chapter number to marry?" ”

Xiao Xi twisted his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Chu Xizhi looked at Xiao Xiwei sideways, but smiled silently.

Seeing this, Xiao Xi couldn't help but bow his head and think.

Yes, the emperor was obviously jealous of Chu Yanzhi, and would know that the assassination on Chinese New Year's Eve was designed by Yan Guifei, but he still acquiesced, and took this opportunity to pull out several chess pieces on Chu Yanzhi's body in a row, especially Gu An, who was in charge of the imperial city's forbidden army. In this case, how could he point out the daughter of the number of chapters to Chu Yanzhi? Could it be that there are other reasons for this?

"Have you heard of the lady of the chapters?" Chu Xizhi's laughing voice sounded again.

"Of course I do. I heard that this Mrs. Zhang has an extremely pungent personality, and the emperor once rewarded a few beauties to General Zhang, but they were all driven out by this Mrs. Zhang. Xiao Xi said slightly.

At that time, she was still in the boudoir, and she heard a few grandmothers talking about this Mrs. Zhang in private. I heard that the emperor was going to condemn him, but Mrs. Nazhang was not only not afraid but ran to the palace to cry by herself, saying that although I was contemptible, I was in love with my father-in-law. How is it bad for my husband to have affection and righteousness with me, why does Your Majesty still give me a beauty? If you really thank my husband for serving the king wholeheartedly, why don't you give him a plaque so that he can do more and more for His Majesty? When these words came out, I heard that the emperor didn't know how to refute it at that time, but at that time, it was Yan Guifei who came forward and said with a smile, Mrs. Zhang's words seemed unreasonable and vulgar, but she had a good understanding of Lord Zhang, and asked His Majesty to forgive her. As soon as Concubine Yan opened her mouth, coupled with the number of chapters pleading beside her, the emperor only slapped Mrs. Zhang's ten boards, and then revealed the matter. Since then, Mrs. Zhang's name has spread in Dayue.

"Mrs. Zhang is not just spicy, she also loves her children abnormally."

"Oh?"

Chu Xiyi smiled, "Why do you think Lu Haichuan asked to marry Zhangshu's eldest daughter back then?" ”

Like the wealthy nobles in the capital, they will generally choose to get married in private, at that time, the power of the Lu State was powerful, plus the crown prince, how could this marriage be impossible. It's just that this Mrs. Zhang is extremely smart, she didn't want her daughter to be involved in the seizure of the heir, and the emperor intended to suppress the prince's faction at that time, so she let Zhang Shu send a message to the emperor, so before the marriage between the two families was discussed, the emperor's decree to marry was made first.
