The journey from southern Hebei to Shuokang is very long, and the group has never returned to Yangzhou, only a letter of resignation sent someone to secretly give it to the second prince, accompanied by the account book obtained from Jiang'an City.

The second prince was overjoyed when he got the account book, and he couldn't hide his smile after roughly scanning the things on his head: "Great, with this thing, my father must look at me differently." ”

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness, King Zhennan has always been a big trouble for His Majesty, if His Highness can help His Majesty In addition to King Zhennan, then the position of Prince is none other than His Highness."

"When I return to Beijing this time, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will enter the East Palace."

The second prince was full of smiles when he was told by the words of several henchmen.

A middle-aged staff member in an ink shirt standing next to him spoke: "This Mo Shizi is really powerful, when he left Beijing that day, he said that he wanted to find the whereabouts of this account book, and his subordinates thought he was talking about it, but he didn't expect that it was only a few days, and he actually found the account book." ”

"I was worried that his methods were so ruthless, and he might not be dedicated to His Highness, but now it seems that he really recognized His Highness as the Lord and wanted to help you seize the throne, otherwise how could he easily hand over such things that can handle the King of Zhennan?"

The second prince smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Cheng is too careful, if he is not sincere, how can he help me pit the fourth child, I can be valued by my father, it is all because of him." ”

That Mr. Cheng sighed: "It's me who is too careful." ”

"Sir is also for me, don't blame yourself."

The second prince didn't blame this Mr. Cheng, this person was a staff member he had worked hard to bring back, and he had helped him a lot over the years.

He suspected that Mo Xuanchen was also for his good, and the second prince naturally would not blame him.

Mr. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Now His Royal Highness has obtained the account book, when you finish the disaster relief, Mo Shizi must also finish the affairs of the southern border, as long as you can help Mo Shizi get the throne of Zhennan and hold the military power of the south, then there will be the help of the British Government and the Zhennan Palace, and no one will be able to hinder His Highness's ascension to the sky." ”

When the second prince heard this, his face couldn't help but show a look of pleasure, as if the throne was close at hand.

He suppressed his excitement, put away the account book, and said: "Xuan Chen said in the letter that this account book has a lot to do with the Guo family, and he used some means to get it from the Guo family. ”

"Although the Guo family has been in a safe corner over the years, the people in the clan have not completely broken off their careers, and the Guo family's women are inextricably linked with some clans in Beijing, he is worried that if his father asks about the source of the account book and involves him, the matter of recovering military power will go wrong."

"Shizi's concern is not unreasonable."

Mr. Cheng frowned a little and said, "Your Majesty is suspicious, and he is already jealous of the prince, and the prince finally let His Majesty reduce his vigilance and reuse him, at this time, the matter of the account book must not be involved in anything with the prince, and the Guo family has a very deep heritage for a hundred years, and it is also an excellent help for His Royal Highness after returning to Beijing, it is better to hold them in his hand by the matter of the account book." ”

The second prince nodded hurriedly: "I also have this intention, but I am afraid that it is not easy to want the Guo family to be attached......

"It may not be easy on weekdays, but now we have them in hand."

Mr. Cheng pointed to the account book in the hand of the second prince,

"This thing came from the Cheng family, they have already been caught in the situation, and they don't want to be a victim of the struggle between the court and the king of Zhennan, so they have to find a way to live for themselves."

"I am willing to take a trip to Jiang'an City for His Highness, no matter whether it is coercion or temptation, there is always a way to tie the Guo family to His Highness's ship, as long as the people of the Guo family are not stupid, they can see the current situation clearly, and with His Royal Highness's prestige in the court, they naturally understand how to choose."

When the second prince heard this, he immediately thanked him and said, "I'm going to trouble Mr. again." ”

Mr. Cheng bowed his body respectfully: "I can be appreciated by His Highness, and I should work for His Highness, but after I leave, His Highness must be careful everywhere in Dingzhou." ”

"There are many people in the court who don't want to see His Highness do a good job of this disaster relief errand, and they are afraid that you will have a more sacred heart, you must be careful, don't let people do anything on the disaster, and it is not safe to leave this account book by your side, Your Highness might as well send someone back to the capital to hand over to the grandfather of the country first, lest the king of Zhennan enter Beijing in advance, we will not have time to prepare."

The second prince nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will arrange it." ”

Mr. Cheng said: "Then I will leave for Jiang'an today, and I can feel at ease as soon as I finish the affairs of the Guo family earlier." ”

The second prince said, "I'm tired of Mr. Lao." ”

……

After Mr. Cheng said a few more words to the second prince, he came out of the room and went back to his residence directly to pack up and plan to go to the Guo family immediately, the second prince was extremely relieved of him, and was grateful to him for lobbying the Guo family for himself, not only sent more than ten people to accompany him to protect, but also handed over all the power to Mr. Cheng.

And Mr. Cheng's head, after leaving the eyes of the second prince, his face became cold.

"What did the prince say?" Cheng Ye turned his head to look at the little guy beside him.

The little guy said in a low voice: "The Guo family should have been arranged, after Mr. goes, as long as he finds a way to provoke the anger of the Guo family, and let the people of the Guo family believe that the account book has spread, and this time His Majesty asked you to go, plus the Zhennan Mansion will send people to exterminate the mouth in the next few days to force the Guo family to choose." ”

"Shizi, this is trying to subdue the Guo family?"

The little guy nodded.

"Okay, I see." Cheng Ye said, "You tell the prince that I will handle it on the Guo family's side, and the second prince will send someone to send the account book back to Beijing, and the things on the road have been arranged." ”

The little guy said "yes" and retreated silently.

"Mr. Cheng?"

The guards accompanying him outside the door had already come, "When are we leaving?" ”

When Cheng Ye got up, his face had already recovered the elegance of Su Ri, and he smiled at him and said: "When I pack a few clothes and set off, you will also go to eat first, and then prepare some food and drink, this time the time is tight, and I am afraid that I will have to run on the road in the next few days." ”

The guard nodded, "Yes, sir." ”

Cheng Ye left Dingzhou that night, and after he left, the second prince also ordered his henchmen to send the ledger back to the capital quickly, but the way back to Beijing was far away, and those henchmen encountered a wave of bandits wandering around when they went out of the Jiangnan border, and almost killed and injured several people during the battle between the two sides, and they were almost robbed of their baggage.

When the only two remaining henchmen killed the bandits and regained their burdens, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the ledger still in it, and they didn't dare to stay and went straight to the capital, but fortunately, the ledger was finally sent back to the British Mansion in Beijing unharmed, and the British Duke was also in a cold sweat when he learned that the road was dangerous.

The British prince did not dare to delay, and immediately arranged the affairs of Beijing.

On the Dingzhou side, in order to return to Beijing as soon as possible to seek a great cause, the second prince also worked hard to be busy with disaster relief.

Things in Dingzhou and Jingzhong were going on in an orderly manner, and ten days later, Mo Xuanchen and Yun Jinchu, who were covered in dust and galloping all the way, also rushed to Shuokang in the south.
