Chapter 18: Refusing to be a tool
When Zhao You heard this, he smiled softly and said, "You kid has a flamboyant tongue, and you keep saying that all this kung fu is practiced for me, and you are really good at lying." ”
Cao Yi is already familiar with him, and since he met Zhao You here that night, he has always missed Zhao You.
He was very captivated by Zhao You's beauty, and at this time, he was even more unobstructed in front of Zhao You, as if he didn't have the slightest sense of distance, and even always wanted to be able to rub some oil off Zhao You's body.
deliberately put his body on Zhao You's body, leaned back with a smile, and said without skin and face: "Your Majesty, you see this fate between the two of us, there is really nothing to say!" ”
"Hey, hey! The moon is dark and the wind is high, you ...... Are you cold? Slave, I'll cover you with the warmth on your body, how about you? ”
Zhao You couldn't help but feel disgusted, and suddenly restrained the smile on his face, and said with a straight face: "The things I want to explain to you are very important, you listen carefully to me." ”
Cao Yi was stunned in place, not moving, frowning and listening to Zhao You's orders.
Zhao You said: "Actually, I have already determined what happened that night, and the target will not be others, it is my several imperial uncles, these imperial uncles are still checked after they escaped from the Northern Xia Kingdom. ”
"During the Jizong Dynasty, they were all the ministers of my Great Chu, and they did pay a lot of hard work, and now they have all gone from youth to white temples."
"Since the first emperor returned to heaven, they have been together all day long to do some shady things, and I have always known these things in my heart."
Cao Yi seemed to be transformed into a sculpture, and said in his heart: Your grandfather's, it turns out that Zhao Yanchun's gang has such vicious intentions, and Emperor Zhao Deji of Jizong is as kind to them as a mountain.
There is no taboo in the slightest, when they are in the Xia Kingdom, it is very likely that they will be instructed by the Xia people to return to Southern Chu to be spies.
Give each of them the title of prince, this kind of courage is really rare.
When these old things saw Emperor Jizong return to heaven, they put their dirty eyes on the throne of Great Chu, and they deliberately wanted to push Zhao You down from the dragon chair and replace them with the throne.
This is no longer a simple matter of crossing the river and demolishing bridges or unloading the mill and killing donkeys, it is simply disgusting!
After all, Cao Yi longed for the beautiful and incomparable Zhao Youxin, so he gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "Okay, Your Majesty, I have a number in my heart, you don't have to worry about this matter!" ”
"I'll disemboweled these old guys one by one, and bleed them one by one, I have to kill them for eternity and never be able to live forever!"
While speaking, Cao Yi didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and pulled out the sword placed in front of the table.
The sound of "brushing" was clear, and under the reflection of the moonlight outside the window, the cold light was steep and dazzling.
Zhao You's heart tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed Cao Yi's wrist tightly and said, "What's the matter with you?" I didn't even tell you to kill them. ”
Cao Yi frowned and asked, "Don't kill them?" What do you want to do, Holy Lord? ”
Zhao You smiled bitterly, motioned for Cao Yi to insert the sword over, put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Although I have determined that the initiators of that incident are my imperial uncles, I have not been able to produce evidence for a while. ”
"Since there is no evidence, what do you say you can do about this? Could it be that you can just kill them all? What's the use of that, after all, a few of them are extremely popular ministers in my Great Chu, and there are many henchmen behind them. ”
"This is not a matter of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, so you should take care of it for the time being."
Cao Yi only understood at this time and said, "Holy Lord, if this is the case, you really can't kill these old guys in secret." ”
Zhao You nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." Let's knock and knock for the time being, Cao Yi, you listen to me, the assassins they sent can successfully touch the palace, which means that most of them are in the palace. ”
"The palace has strict precepts, if it weren't for the fact that no one else was secretly answering, it would be impossible to break into the palace casually, so that the gods did not know the ghosts."
"The identities of these assassins are very mysterious, and most of the people in the palace are inextricably linked to them, so you have to investigate all of them in secret."
Cao Yi asked urgently: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, are there any suspicious characters now?" ”
Zhao You's face was sudden for a while, and he said: "There is one, let's be regarded as a suspicious figure, after all, this person and the Fourth Emperor Uncle Zhao Yanting were originally related to each other, and this person was married into the palace because of Zhao Yanting." ”
Cao Yi asked, "Who?" ”
Zhao You said categorically: "This person is Concubine Li in Xuemei Palace, Concubine Li and Zhao Yanting are a little related, although they can't be beaten by eight poles, but Concubine Li has had close contacts with Zhao Yanting since she was a child, and she is very close. ”
"The location of Xuemei Palace is so sensitive, so in my opinion, Concubine Li is the most suspicious."
Cao Yi already knew in his heart at this time, and the first thing to bear the brunt of the secret investigation of suspicious characters was to lock on Concubine Li.
It's a pity that Cao Yi and Concubine Li are not familiar with each other, and Xueyang Palace and Xuemei Palace are far apart, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the two palaces don't move around each other.
Since this is the case, Cao Yi can't be blatant when he goes to secretly investigate Concubine Li, and he should find some excuse to get close to him secretly.
In this way, it can be done.
Cao Yi hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and arched his hands: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will definitely be done properly for Your Majesty, once you find out that this Concubine Li is indeed the one who secretly responds to the assassin, the slave will report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible." ”
Zhao You nodded with satisfaction, put his hand on Cao Yi's shoulder, and said: "This matter is very important, and it is also a test for you, if you can do it successfully, then you have passed my first test for you." ”
Cao Yi smiled on his face, and said in his heart: Test...... Test? Zhao You, your uncle, you are determined to treat me as a tool.
Lao Tzu was in a hurry all day long, thinking that he had already mixed up his personal appearance and was a character.
As a result, he was a tool man in Gu Guifei all day long, and he was also a tool man in front of you.
Although licking the dog to the end, it is easy to have everything.
But even if the tool man has reached the ends of the earth, he is still a tool man in the end.
Cao Yi thought so, his heart sank, but the bright smile still hung on his face.
Zhao Youyu said earnestly: "The reason why I came late at night this time is purely just to ventilate with you, don't count this task when the time comes." ”
"On the bright side, I will give this task to your stepfather, Ye Sanshan."
