Anwangfu.

"Sima Zhou, Cheng Changshi, at this court meeting, the third brother of Lone tried to go out with the army, and his father also agreed. In today's situation, what should Lone do? ”

Zhao Jing, King An, sat on the main seat, frowned slightly, and asked his two henchmen.

"Lord Wang, there are three highnesses going out with the army, so it seems that Your Majesty is going to move seriously. It's better to inform the king to make plans early and find a way out as soon as possible. ”

Sima Zhoucheng said worriedly.

Wang Hongyi, the leader of the Jingshan bandits, has a large number of letters exchanged with his Royal Highness in his hands, and if it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Cheng Changshi, what do you say?"

Zhao Jing was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at Changshi Cheng Cang.

"Dare to ask the prince, how many men and horses did the Beijing camp dispatch to suppress the bandits this time?"

Cheng Cang asked in a deep voice.

"The father originally wanted to give the third brother 2,000, but the third brother said that 1,000 is enough."

When Zhao Jing said this, the corners of his mouth smiled.

"In this case, great things have been done!"

Cheng Cang's eyes showed excitement, and his palms slammed into each other, making a crisp crisp sound.

"The prince and the crown prince are fighting each other, and they have gradually gained the upper hand. Now that His Royal Highness has returned to Beijing from Qi State, His Royal Highness and the crown prince are compatriots of the same mother and closest brothers. His return to Beijing is a pros and cons for the prince, but it is the opposite for the prince. Now is a critical period for the succession, and there must not be the slightest variable, let alone let the prince get the slightest help. ”

Cheng Cang raised his hand and made a gesture of slapping his head around his neck.

"There are only a thousand soldiers available in the hands of the Third Highness, and it is simply wishful thinking to exterminate the bandits. The prince can take advantage of this crackdown on the bandits and let the leader of the king wait for the opportunity to get rid of the three highnesses. At that time, His Majesty will be furious and send a large army to crusade, and the prince can ask for an order, personally lead the troops, and then make an agreement with the king's leader, he will withdraw from Jingshan, and the prince will win a big victory. In this way, it can not only cut off the prince's arm, but also allow the prince to win the hearts of the people. ”

Hearing Cheng Cang's plan, Zhao Jing couldn't help but nod again and again.

Although this plan is a poisonous plan, it is very much in line with his heart.

Non-toxic and non-husband, if you want to reach the top, you should be ruthless!

"Okay, just do what Cheng Changshi said!"

Meanwhile.

Prince's Mansion.

The crown prince Zhao Chunzheng discussed with several subordinate officials in the prince's mansion about Zhao Xu's expedition to suppress bandits.

Zhao Chun's appearance inherited part of the softness of Queen Song Yayi, her elegance and easy-goingness, and her personality inherited Zhao Heng's generosity and benevolence.

"A few gentlemen, as soon as the young brother returned to Shenjing, he was going out of the city to suppress the bandits in revenge for being robbed that day. As an eldest brother alone, he naturally can't stay out of the matter and ignore it. I wonder if a few gentlemen have any good strategies to teach the widows? ”

Zhao Chun said, got up and saluted the four people present, and the four of them hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

After taking their seats again, the four of them glanced at each other, and one of them was the first to speak:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, forgive the ministers for being rude, as soon as His Royal Highness was crowned king, he asked His Majesty to personally suppress the bandits. The humble post has doubts in his heart, is it that His Royal Highness is ready to reach out to the army? ”

The person who spoke out was the prince and Tang Mi.

Zhao Chun listened, waved his hand, and said:

"Mr. Tang doesn't have to worry too much, the third brother has his own ideas. According to Gu's opinion, he is still young now, and he has been following Lone since he was a child, how can he compete with Lone? ”

"Your Highness......"

Tang Mi wanted to say more, but was gently pulled by a person next to him.

His eyes swept to the one and shook his head slightly, Tang Mi sighed in his heart and said no more.

His Royal Highness, where is it, it's just too benevolent, too missive......

persuaded Tang Mi, and the prince's attendant Feng Shigong said loudly:

"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Ning is His Royal Highness's younger brother, and now he is personally involved in danger to eliminate bandits, His Royal Highness is the eldest brother of King Ning, and the second is the prince personally established by His Majesty, so he should not be indifferent.

King Ning has just returned to Beijing, and there are not many available manpower in his hands, His Royal Highness can send a team of East Palace guards to guard King Ning's side, one to protect King Ning, and the other is the righteousness of His Royal Highness's brothers. ”

When Zhao Chun heard this, his face showed joy, and he said:

"Mr. Feng said that he was lonely, so he did it. Early tomorrow morning, Lone asked Xiahou to lead a team of guards to protect the third brother. ”

"Your Highness, although Commander Xiahou is very brave, his changes are a step worse than that of Deputy Commander Nie. In the opinion of the minister, why don't you let Deputy Commander Nie go? ”

Feng Shigong admonished.

Zhao Chun's face showed hesitation.

The reason why he chose Xiahou Feng was because Xiahou Feng had just entered the eighth order three months ago, and his strength was much stronger than Nie Yang, the deputy commander who was still hovering in the seventh order, but what Mr. Feng said was not unreasonable.

Xiahou is brave and brave, but the change is not as good as Nie Yang.

After thinking about the tea time, he said:

"What Mr. Feng said is very true, according to Mr. Feng, let Nie Yang take a team of guards to the third brother's side tomorrow."

…………

The night was dark.

"Lord Wang, the deputy commander of the martial arts is back."

Colliers walked into the study and whispered.

Zhao Xu, who was looking through the book in his hand, heard this, closed the book, and stood up.

"Let's go, go with the lonely to greet you!"

Zhao Xu raised his feet and walked out of the study and walked towards the door, and Gao Lishi hurriedly followed.

"Commander Wu, how is this journey, are you not injured?"

Zhao Xu patted the dust on Wu Song's body and asked with concern.

A warm current welled up in Wu Song's heart, and he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, Wu is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he and several scouts in the Beijing camp have found the lair of the thief. ”

"Okay, this deputy commander of the battle should be the first to take credit." Zhao Xu patted Wu Song's shoulder heavily, "Let's go, go into the house and talk about it." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Xu turned his head and said to Gao Lishi: "Tell the back kitchen to make a supper for the deputy commander of the martial arts." ”

Colliers nodded and walked towards the back kitchen.

Zhao Xu, Lin Chong and Wu Song walked into the lobby and sat down.

"Brother Wu, is this thief's lair as the prince expected?"

As soon as he sat down, Lin Chong asked impatiently.

Wu Song nodded, looking at Zhao Xu's eyes full of admiration.

"The prince is a god, Wu Song admires!"

"Is it really as the prince calculated?"

Lin Chong's heart was excited, but he couldn't help but confirm again.

"It's in a valley within the range of the prince's circle!"

Hearing Wu Song's affirmative answer, Lin Chong couldn't help but clench his fists, and looked at Zhao Xu's gaze with more respect.

"Find out the thief's lair, and the rest will be much easier!"

Zhao Xu nodded, and when he heard this, he said:

"It's good to find out, Wu Song, you've been running around for days, but it's been hard, so I'll let the kitchen prepare some supper for you, fill your stomach a little, and then sleep well." Tomorrow to suppress bandits, Lone still depends on the martial arts of you and Lin Jiaotou! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When Wu Song heard this, he was grateful in his heart and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"If you want to thank you, it should be Lonely, thank you and Sect Leader Lin."

As he spoke, he saw several maids bring in the food and stood up with a smile.

"Deputy Commander Wu, Lone won't bother you. Lin Jiaotou, leave tonight's garrison to the deputy, rest early, recuperate, and there will be a fierce battle tomorrow. ”

Seeing Zhao Xu get up, Wu Song and Lin Chong hurriedly stood up and gave each other away

Zhao Xu waved his hand and walked out of the lobby.

Nothing was said all night.
