Chapter 170: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
In the palace, Cao Zhengchun secretly approached Zhao Zili but was taken seriously by the battle order, it turned out that Zhao Zicheng had read the previous information and had long suspected that Cao Zhengchun had betrayed.
"Lord, since Cao Zhengchun has rebelled, why don't you kill him." Zhao Zili took a sip of tea and said: "When his nephew disappeared, I knew that he had a problem, but I didn't expect him to actually take refuge in Seventh Brother, but it didn't matter, the information passed by his hand made Seventh Brother think that the crisis was lifted when we started something." And Zhao Zili is using Fan Jian's hand to investigate the abnormal private traders.
That is, at the end of the year, most of these people were at home, although they were very angry, but they did not dare to disobey the government, and after checking dozens of people in a row, they finally found a few people with unusual spirits.
Nangong Jueyu hurriedly told Zhao Zili about this discovery.
"Lord Wang, there are three people who have seals in their souls, and they should not be unlocked until a certain time, and their subordinates tried to lift one person, but as soon as they touched the seal, the person died." Zhao Zili was not worried at this time, since he knew the enemy's methods, he would think of a solution.
"Hurry up and enter the palace, I want to tell my father, you guys work hard, arrest all the people on Fan Jian's list, and if you don't have enough manpower, go to the forbidden army." In the palace, Emperor Wu had just laid down Zhao Zili and told Emperor Wu what he had discovered.
Emperor Wu's face sank, and he couldn't imagine that there were dozens of spies in the palace, and the most intimate palace maids around the queen had problems.
Then he handed a gold medal to Zhao Zili: "Zili, you have made a lot of meritorious service this time, and there is no one in the palace who can't be caught with my token." After Zhao Zili got the order, he took Cao Zhengchun to search all over the palace, and the garden test also appeared at this time.
After a short exchange with Zhao Zili, he exclaimed that he was lucky, and then thought that there might be someone in Xuanhu Villa who had also been infiltrated, and the two soldiers began to purge the palace in two ways.
The [woe] is still underestimated, how can it be possible to subvert so many powerful regimes and dynasties only by those means in the past.
With the cooperation of Xuanhu Villa and the forbidden army, the shadow of [Calamity] was completely pulled up. At the last moment of the New Year, the people outside the palace walls were still happily spending the festival.
However, the palace was full of people, and many spies who had lifted the seal were unwilling to be captured and wanted to resist, only to be killed by the forbidden army.
The forbidden army also suffered some casualties, and the strength of these people was greatly improved by special methods, but fortunately, the timely cleanup did not cause a greater burden.
Early the next morning, the traces of last night had been cleaned up, a total of fifty-six people were killed, forty-four people were arrested, and a total of 100 spies were finally served in one pot.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty, once these thieves make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable, but I don't know if the people behind this will be [disaster]." After returning from the garden test, he inspected the Xuanhu Villa through the secret treasure, but fortunately, the Xuanhu Villa has not been infiltrated, and this method is still very gratifying.
"It must be, it's not been a day or two since they tried to subvert our dynasty, and this time they cracked their conspiracy, and Lao Qi contributed a lot." Emperor Wu also had a feeling of the aftermath of his life at this moment.
Zhao Zili is sleeping now, he is really sleepy after a busy night, and when the crisis is resolved, he is finally relieved.
When he woke up, it was already noon, and Ah Ruo guarded the side, saw that he woke up, and handed him a hot towel.
"What's going on outside?"
"Back to the prince, Lord Nangong and Lord Lu have already cleaned up all the people on the list provided by Fan Gongzi, and there is news from the palace that they have checked all the palace people again, and they are now safe." Zhao Zili finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the national fortunes were a little turbulent, they were much more stable.
"Shiro, how are you feeling over there?"
"It's not bad, Da Zhou's luck is very strong, and it won't perish within a few decades." Bai was a little lazy at the moment, and the rich national fortune made him very comfortable, and his spirit was also a little relaxed.
Zhao Zili was relieved, after a few decades, he was confident that he would defeat all enemies, and even assist that generation of emperors to dominate the world.
"Lord, the queen has sent someone to invite you over." Outside the door, Cao Ang's voice came. Fei Wen, the palace maid next to the queen, was eventually confirmed to be a secret agent, and a strange seal was implanted in her mind, which would not be opened until a certain time, and her task was to hold the queen hostage when necessary.
Fortunately, although the seal with her own willpower is strong enough has affected her, it is not fatal, but it must be very cultivated and cannot be kept.
"Okay, I'll go." Zhao Zili packed up and left the palace. Outside the palace, Nangong Shi hung his head down, how could he not worry about Feiwen being arrested, Zhao Zili saw this, rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, Your Majesty just arrested Feiwen, and the celestial department of the imperial court is also working to cure these people who are still saved." "Emperor Wu also set up the Celestial Phenomena Department to divinate the good fortune and evil, develop secret techniques and secret treasures, and now there is a small success, which is also the embodiment of the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Really, thank you for saving your life." Nangong Shi was excited when he heard this, and even the carriage was faster, but fortunately, Zhao Zili improved the carriage early in the morning, otherwise his ass would really be broken.
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Garden, Emperor Wu and the Empress are teasing the eleventh prince Zhao Zijun, although he is only four years old, he is smart, lively and active, and has the tendency of a little prodigy.
At this moment, Empress Nangong saw Cao Zhengchun leading Zhao Zili to this side, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Seventh has arrived." ”
"The seventh brother is here, come, this is your eleventh brother, I haven't looked at it carefully." Emperor Wu gently pushed Zhao Zijun towards Zhao Zili, and the little guy was not afraid of life at all.
"Cauldron, hug." Although Zhao Zijun was small, the induction between the bloodlines made him understand that the people in front of him were his relatives.
Zhao Zili picked him up, wiped his runny little nose, and said, "Zijun, it's the first time I see Brother Seven, what kind of gift do you want?" The boy soldier bit his finger and said in a milky voice: "Qiguo, I want medicine, my father is sick, I can get better by taking medicine." ”
"Haha, this kid is really filial, I'm just a little cold, and I've already taken medicine." Emperor Wu was very pleased, such a young son knew that he cared about himself, and he must be a good boy in the future.
"Hear me, Xiaojun, let's change it."
"Then I want to wish the Bodhisattva's body to see Kangkang, Qiguo, my mother often asks the Bodhisattva to bless my father's health, and the Bodhisattva will be tired." Hearing this, everyone stood on the spot, and they all said that the fairy tongue was unscrupulous, Zhao Zijun was four years old and had such a bearing, and he could say such words: Everyone is begging for the Buddha to cross, but he is the only one who is willing to cross the Buddha.
"Okay, good, good, my brother has the posture of an emperor, and he will definitely be able to rule the world in the future." Zhao Zili laughed out loud and looked at his younger brother more and more pleasing to the eye.
Bai was also very surprised, it seems that this child's strength is indeed qualified to inherit the heirloom jade seal, and he can find an opportunity to hand over the [heirloom jade seal] to this child in the future.
After fusing the national fortunes of the Great Zhou, at least more than half of his cultivation can be restored, and many means can be used.
Empress Nangong was very happy, she knew the weight of Zhao Zili in Emperor Wu's heart, as long as he spoke, given the time the position of the crown prince would definitely be the subordinate, the original decision was really correct.
Sure enough, when Emperor Wu heard this, he looked at Zhao Zijun and looked forward to it a little more, after Zhao Zili inherited the [Miracle Skill Dao], the position of the crown prince has been undecided, and Zhao Ziyan's strength was insufficient, but Emperor Wu couldn't help it, and now it's different.
"Zili will stay in the palace for dinner, and teach your younger brother by the way." Emperor Wu said. Zhao Zili nodded, and began to play around in the imperial garden with the boy army.
Outside the palace, Lu Yan rushed over non-stop, saw Ah Ruo outside the palace, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Ruo, is the prince in the palace?" ”
"That's right, the prince just entered the palace, is there something wrong with Lord Lu being so anxious." When Ah Ruo saw Lu Yan's anxious expression, he knew that something must have happened, otherwise he would definitely not be so out of shape as a four elephants.
"Fast into the palace and tell the prince, just now there was news from Xuanwu, there was a civil strife in the East China Sea, Chen Luoang launched a rebellion, and the royal family, including the emperor and the crown prince, were imprisoned, Princess Xiaotang was seriously injured, and the queen fled to Haining" Lu Yan's words exploded in Ah Ruo's mind in an instant, no wonder he was so out of shape, Chen Xiaotang's importance to the prince is self-evident, everyone knows that Chen Xiaotang is the future princess.
Ah Ruo didn't dare to delay, took out the prince token given to him by Zhao Zili, and said to the forbidden army in the palace: "Prince Song order, let me enter the palace quickly, Haining has an urgent military situation, who dares to delay, Lord Lu Yan can deal with it himself." "The forbidden army knew Ah Ruo, knew that he was the person of the King of Song, and saw the prince's order, and immediately let him go.
And in order to prevent others from misunderstanding and accompanied her into the palace, Ah Ruo is now also in the realm of [Qi Refining and Transforming God], and it didn't take long for him to reach the Imperial Garden.
Cao Zhengchun stopped her and said, "Ah Ruo, why are you so anxious, Your Majesty is still here, you are so rude that you will collide with Your Majesty, even if the prince is here, you can't do this." ”
"Father-in-law Cao, it's not good to report to the prince quickly, Chen Luoang rebelled in the East China Sea, the emperor and the crown prince were imprisoned, and Princess Chen Xiaocheng was seriously injured and fled to Haining." This also frightened Cao Zhengchun, without the slightest delay, he dared to hurriedly take Ah Ruo into the imperial garden, delaying this matter, I am afraid that Zhao Zili will slap him to death with one palm.
Zhao Zili was playing with Zhao Zijun in this matter, and suddenly saw Ah Ruo's anxious face, and immediately frowned, he knew that if it was not a particularly urgent matter of life and death, Ah Ruo would definitely not enter the palace.
Ah Ruo knelt down and said, "The prince has an accident in the East China Sea, there is a rebellion in the East China Sea, and Princess Orange is seriously injured and escapes to Haining. Zhao Zili's brain exploded with a bang, but he hadn't lost his mind yet, analyzed it for a while, and said: "Quickly let Nangong Jueyu rush back to Haining day and night and tell Yang Yan and Yang Miao to gather all the water army, and then you go to Dolgon and Youfeng, and ask them to inform Youxuan on the border of Yazhou and Youzhou respectively to stay still, and Lu Yan is immediately ready to return to Haining with me." ”
"It's a subordinate who obeys orders." Ah Ruo didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and left the palace.
"Zili, what's wrong." Emperor Wu walked over at this time, and when he saw Zhao Zili's expression, he guessed that it was something important.
"Father, something happened in the East China Sea, Chen Xiaocheng was seriously injured, and the sons must return to Haining immediately, and ask the father to allow them, and if necessary, the sons can send troops to help the East China Sea stop the fighting." The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, non-emperors are allowed to send troops privately, even if other countries agree, it is equivalent to rebellion, and for Chen Xiaocheng Zhao Zili must get the consent of Emperor Wu.
Only by being justified can the world be convinced.
"I agreed, let's go, this daughter-in-law I am still very satisfied, Cao Zhengchun went to get the talismans of Yazhou and Jinzhou to the king of Song, Zili, you have to remember that once you send troops, you will win, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Emperor Wu immediately decided, this is a good opportunity to deepen diplomacy with the East China Sea, and having one more friend is also beneficial to the Great Zhou.
"The son bows to thank his father." Zhao Zili was overjoyed, it seems that after this time, artillery and other secrets can also be told to Emperor Wu, this father is still very competent now.
After getting the talisman, Zhao Zili immediately left the palace, and in his calculations, Haining's navy was enough to defeat the rebels in the East China Sea.
So he handed over the talisman of Yazhou to Youfeng and said, "Take the talisman to Yazhou and tell Yin Lingzi that if there is a change in Luoyang, don't hesitate to lead the troops immediately." ”
"It's a subordinate who obeys orders." Youfeng took Yanyun's eighteen horsemen to set off first.
"Boy, are you still worried?" Bai felt that although Da Zhou's luck fluctuated, there was no downward trend.
"I don't know, but there is a feeling that Luoyang seems to be dying a lot."
"You have the authority of the Tao of life and death, this kind of induction really can't be ignored, if only you had the book of life and death and the judge's pen." Zhao Zili looked at Luoyang and always felt that something was about to happen.
"Meng Wei and Murong Ke are searching the underworld, and I think there should be news soon." The Arcana of the Underworld is scattered all over the corner, and no complete or fragmented pieces have been found yet.
Back at the palace, Zhao Zili packed up all the necessities, this time the time was urgent, and he didn't bring a lot of things.
"Seventh brother, why are you leaving? Why are you in such a hurry? Zhao Ziyu saw that Zhao Zili was packing up his things and hurriedly asked.
"Haining has an emergency, I have to go back to deal with it, don't worry, it won't be too long, I will send someone to pick you up." Although Zhao Ziyu was very reluctant, he couldn't delay Zhao Zili's business.
The two of them couldn't have imagined that this parting would become the last face. Zhao Zifeng also had to know about the East China Sea, and hurriedly came to the palace, but fortunately Zhao Zili hadn't left yet.
Then briefly told him a few words, and after Zhao Zili hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Ziyu and Zhao Zifeng, Zhao Zili rushed back to Haining non-stop.
"Sixth sister, I always feel that it will be difficult to see you again after this farewell."
"You, don't worry, since Zili said that he would send someone here, he will definitely do it, so you can rest assured." But a huge storm began to envelop the entire Great Zhou, and there began to be a faint restlessness around Luoyang.
