On the way back to Beijing, the king of Chu and his entourage have been pretending to be businessmen, and they have never aroused suspicion. Somewhere fifty kilometers away from the capital, the king of Chu decided to restore his identity. However, before he could be reinstated, he had to write back to Beijing.

Somewhere in the guest house, the king of Chu wrote a letter and handed it to Wei Mian.

Wei Mian took the letter with both hands and asked, "Your Highness, did you send this letter to Li Fushe?" ”

"No, send it directly to the palace." The king of Chu, in his capacity as a prince, also sent it back to the palace in the form of an urgent letter. If the prince had not been placed under house arrest, his letter might have been intercepted. However, now that the crown prince is under house arrest in the East Palace, he cannot intercept the letter from the King of Chu.

"Your Highness, is it okay to send it directly to the palace?" Wei Mian was worried that the letter would not be successfully delivered to the palace.

"The prince is under house arrest, and he doesn't have the ability to stop my letter now."

Wei Mian then remembered that the prince had been placed under house arrest not long ago, "The slave maid immediately arranged for someone to send it." ”

King Chu nodded his head: "Go." ”

Not long after Wei Mian left, King Chu heard a familiar bird call, and then he saw Xiao Jin Fei next to Zhao Yao.

Xiao Jin flew to the window and looked at the King of Chu with his little head proudly raised.

Seeing Xiao Jin, King Chu unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

"You wait a minute." The king of Chu walked to the door and ordered the guards guarding the door to bring some snacks and fruits.

After the king of Chu gave the order, he returned to the house and personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jin.

"You drink some tea first."

Xiao Jin was very satisfied with the attitude of the King of Chu. It lowered its head and gulped down its tea. When it had finished drinking a cup of tea, it raised its paw towards the king of Chu and motioned for another cup of tea.

The king of Chu understood and poured another cup of tea for Xiao Jin.

The tea that Xiao Jin drank was this year's Longjing, which was bought by the King of Chu on the road.

Don't look at Xiao Jin as a golden eagle, but since he followed Zhao Yao's side, his eating and drinking are excellent, especially the drinking. Zhao Yao likes to drink tea, the tea he drinks is tribute tea, Xiao Jin followed him to drink tribute tea, and after drinking for a long time, his mouth became clear.

Soon, the guards brought a plate of sliced apples and two plates of snacks.

The king of Chu personally crushed the dim sum, "The dim sum in the guest house is average, you will eat it first, and when you return to the capital, I will invite you to delicious dim sum." "The tenth brother likes to eat dim sum, and the golden eagle he raises also likes to eat dim sum, and what kind of pet is really what kind of owner raises.

Little Gold nodded its little head, and then feasted on apples and snacks.

Wei Mian came back after delivering the letter, and when he saw Xiao Jin coming, he was overjoyed.

"Lord Jin is here." [Lord Xiaojin] is Wei Mian's name for Xiaojin, and Xiaojin is very satisfied with this title. "Your Highness, is Your Highness the Tenth in Yangzhou okay?"

King Chu had just finished reading the letter that Zhao Yao asked Xiao Jin to send. While carefully folding the letter, he answered Wei Mian's question: "The tenth brother is very good in Yangzhou. ”

"The matter over there in Jinling doesn't involve His Highness the Tenth, right?"

"No, the tenth brother is in Yangzhou and is not involved." Even if the tenth brother is in Jinling, the eighth brother will not let him be involved. "The tenth brother was worried about my safety, so he specially sent Xiaojin to find me."

"Ever since you were arranged by the emperor to go to Pengcheng, His Royal Highness Ten has been worried about your safety."

When the King of Chu heard this, a warm smile appeared in his eyes: "Let him worry." ”

"Tomorrow, we will be able to return to Beijing, and His Royal Highness Ten will not have to worry about you." At least return to the capital tomorrow without worrying about assassination. Since His Royal Highness was sent to Pengcheng, I don't know how many assassinations he has encountered along the way. To be honest, he couldn't even count.

"You go and rest first."

"Your Highness, you should also rest early." After Wei Mian finished speaking, he retreated respectfully.

The King of Chu looked at Xiao Jin, who had already eaten apples and snacks, and said to it softly: "You have a good rest tonight, and then help me deliver a letter tomorrow." ”

Jin nodded, and then flew out and rested on the tallest tree outside the guest house.

The king of Chu was not in a hurry to rest, but wrote a reply to Zhao Yao first. In the letter, he told Zhao Yao that he was all right and asked Zhao Yao not to worry about him. He also said that by the time Zhao Yao received the letter, he had returned to the capital safely. Thinking that there would be a bloody storm when he returned to the capital, he told Zhao Yao in the letter that he would help him say good things and let him play in Yangzhou for a while longer.

When he returns, the capital will become restless, and it will continue for some time. If Zhao Yao returns to Beijing at this time, he is afraid that he will be implicated and involved in this bloody storm, and there may be danger.

The king of Chu didn't dare to gamble on Zhao Yao's safety, so he felt that it would be better for Zhao Yao to stay in Yangzhou for the time being.

The guest house was not far from the capital, and before dawn, the letter of the king of Chu was sent into the palace.

Tonight was Sun Kui's personal vigil, and when he saw Chang Yuan's letter from the King of Chu, he did not hesitate to enter the emperor's bedroom and wake up the sleeping emperor.

The emperor once said that if the king of Chu wrote a letter, or if there was news from the king of Chu, he must be told.

Sun Kui held a lamp in his hand and stood beside the bed to illuminate the emperor.

After reading the letter, the emperor raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The fourth child did not disappoint me. ”

"Your Majesty, is His Royal Highness the King of Chu coming back?"

"The fourth child will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow." The emperor looked at Sun Kui and explained, "Let Lao Song and Lao Zhang lead the troops to pick up the fourth child back." ”

"Now?"

"Let's go now, let them go directly from the house to pick up the fourth child."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wait, let Lao He and Lao Liu come to see me in the early dynasty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Song Weikang and Zhang Gong were woken up in their sleep, they led the army out of the capital.

The two of them were great generals and were highly regarded by the emperor. Any movement they make will attract the attention of other ministers of the DPRK and China.

When the subordinates of the ministers of the DPRK and Central China learned that Song Weikang and Zhang Gong were hurrying out of Beijing with a group of soldiers overnight, they thought that something had happened and hurriedly told the adults of their family that they knew.

A moment later, the Chinese military officials of the dynasty learned that Song Weikang and Zhang Gong had left the capital, which shocked and disturbed them.

When the ministers saw that Song Weikang and the two of them had made such a big battle, they couldn't help but wonder if something big had happened, whether it was the Zhenxi Army that was rebelling?

Xie Shi of the Zhenguo Mansion is in the Zhenxi Military Camp, which makes the civil and military officials have to wonder if Xie Shi is leading the Zhenxi Military Camp to rebel?

For a while, people were panicked.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu were very calm, because they knew that it was the King of Chu who had returned.

Early the next morning, He Xiang and Taishi Liu entered the palace an hour in advance. When the other ministers learned about this, they felt more and more that something was wrong.

In the imperial study, the emperor beckoned He Xiang and them to have breakfast, and talked to them at the same time.

It wasn't the first time they had eaten with the emperor. Besides, there is still an hour before the early dynasty, and if you don't eat something now, you will be hungry when you go to the court.

"The fourth child not only brought back the stolen copper, but also brought back the human witness." The emperor held a meat bun in one hand and porridge in the other, "Do you think I want to abolish the prince?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really capable." He Xiang first praised the King of Chu, and then asked, "Where did His Royal Highness the King of Chu find the copper?" ”

The emperor winked at He Xiang and said very mischievously, "Guess. ”

He Xiang looked at the emperor with disgust: "Your Majesty, you are not the tenth highness, and you are not suitable for blinking." ”

Taishi Liu sharply echoed: "In the words of His Highness the Ten, greasy!" ”

The emperor glared at them: "I am a talent, graceful, jade tree in the wind, handsome and handsome, where is greasy." ”

He Xiang and Taishi Liu did not speak, but looked at the emperor with disgusted eyes.

The emperor was bored with himself, and did not dwell on the topic anymore. "The fourth child found the stolen copper in Osmanthus Village in Wuhua Mountain. ”

He Xiang and Taishi Liu exclaimed in unison: "Wuhua Mountain? ”

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so bold as to smuggle copper under the nose of the Zhenxi military camp and secretly forge weapons." The emperor said, took a bite of the bun, and drank a large mouthful of porridge. When he drank porridge, he made a loud noise, without the image of an emperor. "What surprised me the most was that my brother-in-law also sent someone to secretly make a deal with Han Zhong, Han Zhong was forging weapons in Shu, and there was an uncle's among them."

He Xiang and Mrs. Liu didn't expect this to happen, and both of them were very surprised.

"When the minister was interrogated in Shu before, he didn't know about it." Taishi Liu's interrogation skills are very high, he interrogates in person, no one can hide his affairs, and no one can deceive him. "It seems that only Han Zhong knows about this."

"Your Majesty, your brother-in-law's ability is really not small, and he actually traded weapons with Han Zhong." He Xiang was very shocked, "The most important thing is that no one knows about it." ”

"Your Majesty, how did the King of Chu know about this?" Taishi Liu was curious, after all, he had been in Shu for a few months before and had never heard of this.

"The fourth guessed." The emperor took a few more sips of porridge, "The fourth child found that the weapons forged in Osmanthus Village were very similar to the weapons secretly forged in Shudi, and guessed that it was possible for my brother-in-law to forge weapons in Shudi." ”

He Xiang exclaimed: "The King of Chu is really meticulous. ”

"Your Majesty, your brother-in-law won't collude with Han Zhong, right?"

"No, my brother-in-law wouldn't be so stupid." The emperor said thoughtfully, "I guess that my brother-in-law did not confess his identity to Han Zhong, and Han Zhong should only know that the person who forged weapons for him has a pivotal position in the capital, maybe he thinks it is one of my sons." ”

Taishi Liu thought about it and felt that the emperor's words were right.

"If Han Zhong knew that it was Zhen Guogong who was trading weapons with him, he would definitely use this matter to threaten Zhen Guogong so as to achieve some of his goals."

"I really underestimated your brother-in-law." Although the former Zhenguo Gong was abolished, it was not easy for He Xiang to call him by his name, after all, he was still the uncle of the country.

"Do you think I want to abolish the prince?" The emperor asked, "If I depose the crown prince, will my brother-in-law rebel?" ”

Taishi Liu said: "It's against it, it's definitely going to be reversed, but Uncle Guo doesn't dare to oppose it now." This voice [Uncle Guo] was full of mockery.

"Uncle Guo won't be stupid and will rebel now." He Xiangdao, "However, the prince can be abolished." ”

"What about after it's scrapped?"

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has been deposed and demoted to a prince, so he naturally wants to go to the fief." He Xiang said meaningfully, "The fief of the abolished prince can be selected near the military camp in the west of the town. ”

Taishi Liu followed He Xiang's words and said: "Uncle Guo, they don't have enough power to rebel now, give them a few years to cultivate their forces, and when the time comes, they will definitely rebel, and then they will be able to justifiably eradicate the Zhenguo Mansion." ”

The emperor pointed at He Xiang and Taishi Liu, and scolded with a smile: "You two are really vicious." ”

He Xiang and Taishi Liu said angrily: "Not as good as you." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." The emperor's words were a bit weird.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is abolished, do you want to make the king of Chu the new prince?"

The emperor deliberately winked at He Xiang and them: "Guess." ”

He Xiang and Taishi Liu: "......" suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.
