Chapter 4: Zhou Yang, the Seventh Prince

Today's affairs in the hall are rumored among the ministers.

But because of this, the palace was quiet, and there was no movement in all the palaces, and there was a trend of mountain rain coming.

It's night.

A man dressed in a six-rank military attache uniform quietly visited Qingyun Institute.

"The last general, Zhao Wuyang, meet His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

The man entered the guest hall, looked excited, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Uncle, please get up quickly!"

However, Zhou Yang seemed to have expected this person to come, and hurriedly helped him up.

For others, Zhao Wuyang is just a captain of the Tiger Guard Battalion, but Zhou Yang remembers clearly that this person is the cousin of Concubine Xian, and he is an uncle and nephew whose blood is thicker than water.

Today, when he behaved like this in the temple, the world knew that he was no longer stupid before.

"There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the general will not dare."

Zhao Wuyang's lips trembled, and his eyes looked at Zhou Yang, as if he was surprised and delighted that he had really regained his senses.

Zhou Yang was also moved: "When I am blind, can my uncle come late at night and not be afraid of offending those who regard me as a thorn in the eye?" ”

Zhao Wuyang clenched his fists, and his voice was as sonorous as iron: "The last general has no wife and little drag, he is alone, except that this official hat will be lost at any time, I really don't know what to be afraid of!" ”

Zhou Yang's eyes were slightly red, and he was moved.

Oh, yes!

At that time, the young genius warrior of the Zhao family in Qindi was famous for thousands of miles, and in order to repay Concubine Xian's kindness, he gave up the good future of Qindi and did not hesitate to enter Beijing as an official in order to protect Concubine Xian.

With such a character, how can he care about his career?

Speaking of this, Zhao Wuyang's eyes were red: "Your Highness, the matter of Concubine Xian, it is all to blame for the poor protection of the general, I hope Your Highness will be punished heavily!" If the last general is present, he will never let the thief hurt his cousin! ”

The assassination of Concubine Xian is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Zhao Wuyang.

If it weren't for the fact that the fourth prince had regained his senses, he wouldn't even have the face to come.

Zhou Yang was also gloomy for a while, and then coldly clenched his fists: "Don't worry, none of those people can escape, they deliberately changed the personnel on duty, just so that the uncle would not have time to arrive." ”

Seeing Zhou Yang like this, Zhao Wuyang was also relieved.

But then there was a burst of worry and said: "Your Highness is too bold today, after all, it is above the main hall, this palace is surging, Your Highness should be cautious." ”

Confront the prince and ask your majesty!

No matter what it was, just listening to it made Zhao Wuyang's eyelids jump wildly.

"Hehe, it's just a little thing, so that the uncle is worried."

Zhou Yang shook his head and chuckled, facing Zhao Wuyang, he never put on a show.

In today's court, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, the princes and even the emperor in the palace, almost none of them want him to continue to live.

Everyone wished he had died sooner.

At that moment, Zhou Yang saw that the so-called status of the prince was not worth his nostalgia at all.

Only the uncle Zhao Wuyang, regardless of his future, also wants to enter Beijing to protect his mother, and now that such a big thing has happened to him, he dares to be the first to come to his side.

But this friendship is worthy of Zhou Yang's incomparable respect.

"A trifle?"

Zhao Wuyang was helpless for a while.

He lowered his voice and took a step forward, "Today's events have long been rumored outside, Your Highness's actions today are indeed wise and brave, but the key to Your Highness's survival is not Your Highness himself." ”

Zhao Wuyang didn't finish his words, but Zhou Yang already understood what he meant.

He chuckled and nodded: "Of course I know, they are all afraid of my grandfather, King Qin." ”

Not only that.

Zhou Yang also knew that today he threatened His Majesty in the name of King Qin, which had touched his bottom line, and in his eyes, he was already a mortal person.

Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, Zhao Wuyang knew that Zhou Yang had thought about it all, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Your Highness regrets today's move?" ”

"No regrets!"

Zhou Yang gradually narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Wuyang was stunned for a moment, at that moment, he seemed to see the figure of the old King Qin from Zhou Yang, which was the unyielding, rebellious and stubborn hidden in the blood of the Zhao family!

Although it was the first time that he set foot on the battlefield for the old King of Qin, when he witnessed the old King Qin killing the enemy, he was deeply glad that he was a member of the Zhao family.

And now, for the first time, he looked at the nephew in front of him with the eyes of an uncle, and he felt an unprecedented relief.

Zhao Wuyang paused for a moment, and said again: "Your Highness takes retreat as advance and voluntarily exiles Qindi, which is indeed a high-level move, but Your Highness should not forget, the premise is that you can leave the capital alive and return to Qindi all the way safely." ”

Zhou Yang took a deep breath and nodded.

On the surface, he is the grandson of King Qin, even if he is not a prince, he has a noble status.

But in fact, the old King Qin has eight children under his knees, and there are countless children and grandchildren, so he may not be able to spare his energy to take care of him, a foolish fourth prince who has been stupid for a long time.

Even if he is not stupid now, if he wants to be valued by King Qin, he must prove his strength.

After all.

Lao Zhao's ...... Never take in useless waste!

This is also the main reason why the Zhao family has lasted for a hundred years, passed down for several generations, and is still the overlord of the Wu Dynasty, although it is very cruel, but it is an indisputable fact!

"Your Highness should know that King Qin will not push the entire Zhao family to the forefront for the sake of His Royal Highness, let alone offend Your Majesty and bring disaster to the Zhao family!" Although Zhao Wuyang's words were ugly, what he said was extremely sincere.

But who expected.

Zhou Yang was not disappointed after hearing this, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "It's okay, I will surprise my grandfather before leaving Beijing." ”

"It's ......"

Zhao Wuyang was slightly stunned, looking at a secret letter handed over by Zhou Yang.

"Uncle Lao has been on a trip, and I personally sent this letter to Qindi."

Seeing that Zhou Yang was so confident, Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but be curious.

But after a while, he nodded, without the slightest intention of asking about the contents of the letter.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will definitely deliver the letter to King Qin!"

Mended.

Zhou Yang waved his hand and smiled slightly.

"No, this letter is not for my grandfather?"

"Huh?"

"This letter...... It's for my father! ”

Zhao Wuyang was slightly stunned, completely puzzled.

……

Following.

Inside the Imperial Garden.

"The slave is not doing well, please let Your Majesty condemn it!"

A man dressed in a white face and beard knelt on the ground and shivered.

This person's name is Liu Jicai, who is in the position of the chief of the inner house, except for the Imperial Forest Army of the harem, almost all matters in the palace, directly obeying His Majesty's orders, and is the emperor's confidant.

Such an important position, but let people assassinate Concubine Xian in the harem, such a serious dereliction of duty, even killing the head is not enough.

But at this time, Emperor Deyuan tasted the imperial tea, and said indifferently: "Get up, yesterday you were sick, and there happened to be a mistake, so naturally I can't blame you." ”

Liu Jicai breathed a sigh of relief and got up gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

But the voice just fell.

"The imperial physician who treated you, his niece is a maid in the old fourth courtyard, right? I didn't expect Dr. Wang to rejuvenate and cure your illness within a day. Emperor Deyuan seemed to be smiling.

Liu Jicai was startled, and a cold sweat broke out instantly.

He looked at Emperor Deyuan with a frightened expression, and as soon as he stood up, he immediately knelt on the ground again.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

Emperor Deyuan waved his hand and smiled: "Did I say that I blamed you?" What are you so afraid of? But this old four...... Since you dare to put your hand under my nose, it is indeed quite a step forward! ”

Liu Jicai heard the chill in his words and trembled with fright.

His eyesight almost didn't fall out. Hurriedly swore to the sky: "Your Majesty is clear, the slave is loyal to Your Majesty, and will never serve others, yesterday was a slave who was confused for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

"Look at ...... Not again! Did I say I would blame you? ”

Emperor Deyuan squinted and smiled, but the momentum on his body seemed to be overwhelming, making people breathless, "But since you said that you are wrong, I have always rewarded and punished clearly, and you can't be wrong without punishment, right?" ”

Liu Jicai's legs were weak and he almost passed out.

He hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty spare your life!" The slave just intercepted a secret letter, and he hopes to atone for his sins? ”

"Oh? MeSign? ”

Emperor Deyuan raised his eyebrows.

Liu Jicai seemed to grasp the last straw and hurriedly took out the secret letter.

"Last night, Zhao Wuyang, the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, visited Zhou Yang, the Seventh Prince, overnight, and then left with a secret letter, wanting to send this letter to Qindi, but was intercepted by the slave halfway and looked at His Majesty!"
