In the past four or five years since he was a vassal domain, except for receiving New Year's greetings from Emperor Jian'an to the kings during the Chinese New Year, there was basically no communication with Emperor Jian'an.

This edict to him is really the first time that it has broken the wilderness.

Zhao Hongming's mind turned sharply, thinking of the information about Daliang that Gao Yanshi had just informed, and immediately realized that Emperor Jian'an's edict might have something to do with what happened in the imperial court.

I just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Let's go, let's see."

Zhao Hongming took the lead and walked out of the practice room with Gao Yanshi.

There is a place in the Wuwang Mansion that is specially used to receive guests.

Wu Yong, the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, walked to the door of a tall and spacious hall under the guidance of the maidservants of the palace.

The hall is beautifully decorated and richly furnished, and there are doors and windows on all sides, so that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the garden.

"Your Excellency, you can wait here for a moment, and Your Highness will be there later." The twenty-eight-year-old maid bowed slightly and said politely.

Wu Yong bowed his head, and Gu Zi walked in.

In the center of the hall is a tall rosewood coffee table, exuding an antique atmosphere.

Through the window, you can see the rockery made of gray-green stones outside the hall, which condenses the landscape scenery in a unique way, all exuding a sense of low-key luxury.

Just as he was looking around, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Wu Yong hurriedly gathered his thoughts and turned his head to look.

I saw a handsome young man with a handsome face walking in from outside the hall.

He was wearing a silk robe and a gold belt, and a square jade jue was worn around his waist, and his body exuded a powerful aura.

Every step was carried with confidence and domineering, the cloak was flying, and before I got closer, I felt a sense of oppression.

He had already heard about the achievements of His Royal Highness the Martial King.

Now seeing it with his own eyes is even more firm in his heart.

'No wonder when I left, my godfather told me to put myself in the right position and not to have any rudeness and contempt in front of the martial king. ’

Wu Yong immediately bowed respectfully and said, "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Martial King. ”

Zhao Hongming looked at Wu Yong twice.

The one who came to deliver the decree was a eunuch martial artist of the Imperial City Division, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, and he looked like a servant.

A body of qi and blood condenses but does not disperse, it should be in the realm of enlightenment.

"No need to be polite." Zhao Hongming said in a flat tone: "What do you call your father-in-law?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the minion's name is Wu Yong."

"I heard that my father sent a decree to this king?"

"Exactly!"

"In that case, then the king will take the order!"

As the local feudal king of Wei, Zhao Hongming was nominally a courtier of Emperor Jian'an, and when he saw the edict as if the emperor was in person, he needed to perform the courtier's courtesy.

Wu Yong, who came to deliver the decree, saw Zhao Hongming making a gesture to worship, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. ”

"Huh?"

In Zhao Hongming's puzzled gaze, Wu Yong knelt down instead, put a secret box in both hands and said: "This is Your Majesty's secret edict, as long as His Highness knows." ”

Secret edict?

Zhao Hongming was really surprised.

Why did Emperor Jian'an send him a secret edict?

He reached out and took the box.

The box is usually made of metal and wood, with a lock on the outside.

He recognized at a glance that it was a primary lock used by the Wei State to secure documents or other confidential documents.

There is a mechanism inside, once opened, it cannot be closed again, so that the receiver can judge whether the confidential information has been leaked.

The lock in front of him was still intact, and on the surface no one had touched the edict.

"Your Highness, the lock is here." Wu Yong then took out a copper spoon from his arms.

Zhao Hongming picked up the copper spoon and inserted it into the keyhole of the secret box.

Click.

There is a movement of the mechanism being touched.

The box opens.

Inside, there was an edict written on yellow paper, sealed with purple clay, and there was no sign of movement or damage.

Gao Yanshi on the side naturally walked up to take the secret box, and then stood aside very knowingly to avoid it.

Zhao Hongming opened the secret edict and carefully checked it.

The edict was only five lines long, but each line made him look shocked.

This is clearly an edict of succession!

Emperor Jian'an wants to pass on the throne to him and let him rush back to Daliang as soon as possible!

This edict has the personal seal of Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu, which is authentic and authoritative, and is not forged by others.

Zhao Hongming put away the edict, and his face suddenly became extremely serious.

Ever since Emperor Jian'an told him the secret of the fortunes of the country, he has developed a lot of interest in the throne of Wei.

I just didn't expect this day to be so soon.

Zhao Hongming closed the edict and ordered: "Father-in-law Gao." ”

"The minions are here."

"Father-in-law Wu has worked hard all the way, let him go down and have a good rest, don't be lazy."

Gao Yanshi bowed his head and said respectfully, "The slave obeys." ”

"In addition, let Lord Li, General Wu, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, and Chang Guards go to the Taihe Palace quickly, and the king has important matters to discuss."

Gao Yanshi's expression was stunned when he heard this.

Summoning four adults at once, it seems that His Majesty's secret edict involves a lot of matters.

Immediately, he did not dare to have any ambiguity: "Yes! ”

After Zhao Hongming received the edict, he didn't have a hot head, so he rode directly to the beam.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

If it was a trap or some other conspiracy, he would lose more than he would lose if he plunged headlong into it.

Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of inducing princes and kings to go to the capital, and then imprisoning or killing.

Until he finds out what happened to the girder, he will not act rashly.

It's better to plan and then act.

Wuwang Mansion Taihe Palace.

Zhang Yiyi, who was the first to arrive, walked into the Taihe Palace, only to see Zhao Hongming sitting on the main seat with a heavy heart, the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he was very interested in standing on the side of the main hall quietly.

The hall was silent, filled with a solemn aura.

After a while, Wu Qi and others, who had received a summons from Zhao Hongming, came one after another.

After seeing that the number of people had been counted, Li Yan, as the eldest, took the lead and said, "I wonder if there is anything important about His Highness's sudden summoning of us this time?" ”

Zhao Hongming looked at the four people in the hall and said calmly: "Father-in-law Gao, you can tell the four adults about what happened in Daliang recently." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Gao Yanshi, who was standing beside Zhao Hongming, stood up and told everyone the information he had collected about the Great Liang court.

After Wu Qi and the others listened, although their expressions were different, a trace of shock could be seen on their faces.

Zhao Hongming said after Gao Yanshi finished speaking: "Your Majesty came to the edict today, asking this king to rush back to Daliang as soon as possible, I don't know what you think?" ”

After a short silence in the court, Li Yan thought deeply: "If that news is true, Your Majesty's move will definitely touch the anger of the people, and those martial arts forces will not give up." It is not a wise move to go back at this time, and he feels that His Royal Highness should first respond to all changes with no change, and wait until the situation on the side of Daliang is clear and ready, and then it is not too late to go to Daliang. ”

Zhao Hongming looked at Zhang Yi and Wu Qi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "The views of the lowly position and Lord Li converge, the expulsion of the Seven Princes, and the leakage of the news that His Majesty recast the gods and demons blades, all of which show that there are people doing bad things in the secret. ”

Wu Qi frowned, he clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that Your Majesty may have a request for Your Highness in some places, so he will urge His Highness to rush back to Daliang." ”

Seeing that Wu Qi was referring to something, Zhao Hongming said: "General Wu refers to ......"

"In addition to His Royal Highness's status as a prince, he also holds an army of 100,000 and ...... The top combat power of the Ming Sect is something that other princes do not have. Wu Qi paused when he spoke, and glanced at Zhao Hongming, so that the latter knew the meaning of his words.

He continued: "Your Majesty asked His Highness to rush back, perhaps because of these aspects, he wanted His Highness to resolve the crisis. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Qi guessed this layer just by just a few words at the moment.

Zhao Hongming nodded and said, "That makes sense." What does General Wu think this king should do? ”

"Lead 100,000 Wei warriors and return to Daliang together!"

As soon as Wu Qi's voice fell, Zhang Yi and the other three people next to him all opened their mouths slightly.

They were all stunned by Wu Qi's approach.

Chang Wuxi hurriedly said nervously: "Wouldn't it be a conspiracy to lead 100,000 troops back to Daliang?" Your Highness must not do this. ”

Zhao Hongming's originally tense face suddenly smiled a little more.

"It's okay."

"Huh!?"

They didn't know that they already had the secret edict of Emperor Jian'an and had a name.

Returning to Daliang with 100,000 Wei warriors, although it doesn't look good, what you really want to say can be said.

Emperor Jian'an had 8,000 and nearly 10,000 forbidden troops in Daliang.

His 'forbidden army' is just a little bit more.

Strong strength is his confidence.

For the sake of his own safety, he can actually be shameless.

I saw Zhao Hongming stand up and say: "Since my father has passed the edict to let this king return to Daliang, this king, as a son, has to go back." But know yourself and know your opponent in everything, and think twice before acting. ”

"I don't know what will happen to Daliang City, so I won't act rashly until this king has figured out the situation."

In fact, when Zhao Hongming summoned the four people, he already had a general idea in his heart.

For now, I'm just taking this opportunity to get a glimpse of what everyone thinks.

"Father-in-law Gao."

"The minions are here."

"Next, you mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, figure out what happened to the girder, and there is no room for error."

"The minions obey."

Zhao Hongming looked at the main hall and continued, "General Wu." ”

"The end will be."

"Let's prepare for the mobilization of the 100,000 army, and then secretly return to Daliang with this king, and then communicate with General Cen for the best border defense."

Wu Qi said with a straight face: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Zhao Hongming looked at Zhang Yi and the others again: "Lord Li, you are still very important about political affairs, if this king leaves the fief, you must also ensure the stability of the fief." ”

Zhang Yi and the others responded in unison: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

After Zhao Hongming arranged all the people, he also plunged into the practice room and continued to study hard.

He didn't know what would happen next to Daliang, but it never hurt to add a little more strength.

……

The Imperial Palace of the Great Liang City of Wei.

Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu looked at Feng Dabao, who hurriedly came back to restore his name, and asked, "Have you checked it out?" Is it the fourth one who spreads the news? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not." Feng Dabao's face was a little ugly, and then he said: "But it also has something to do with His Royal Highness the King of Thailand. ”

Emperor Jian'an had an accident in his eyes and said, "What's going on?" ”

Feng Dabao knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said: "The Imperial City Division found out that the Confucian master in the Rui Wang's Mansion was saved by the second son of the Huo Mansion more than ten years ago, and then came into contact with the Yunhua faction three years ago and was recommended to enter the Rui Wang's Mansion. ”

"And this Confucian master is deep and simple, and he has no intersection with His Majesty's forging of gods and demons blades, so it should be ...... to know about this."

Jian'an Emperor Zhao Yuxu didn't wait for Feng Dabao to finish speaking, and directly interrupted: "Is it the Huo family?" ”

"Your Majesty's name." Feng Dabao echoed and complimented.

"How did the Huo family know about me casting the god and demon blade again?"

Feng Dabao said conclusively: "This minion has checked all the people involved in the casting, and it is certain that no one has leaked the news. ”

"That is, the Huo family has no idea how to do it, is it the Sword Casting Villa that they have been supporting?"

"This ......" Feng Dabao has not yet found this layer: "The old slave has not had time to continue to investigate." ”

"Follow this line and check it out."

"Yes!"

Emperor Jian'an asked, "What do these things have to do with the fourth child?" ”

Feng Dabao showed a hesitant expression, and stopped talking.

"If you want to say it, you can say it." Emperor Jian'an Zhao urged sharply.

Feng Dabao hung his head, his back was dripping with cold sweat, and he finally said: "The moment before the incident, His Royal Highness the King of Thailand and the second son of the Huo family have been together. ”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Emperor Jian'an sat on the dragon chair, his face was as cold as ice, and other than that, there was no expression of any emotional words, and what he thought in his heart was not known to outsiders.

"I remember that the Huo family ancestor's longevity is coming, right?"

Feng Dabao nodded and said, "It is said that the Huo family ancestor failed to rush through the last time, and he has almost reached the limit of his lifespan. ”

Emperor Jian'an said calmly: "As soon as the ancestor of the Huo family falls, let's do it, and the charges of those Huo family henchmen have been collected." ”

"Minions understand."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the temple.

A guard hurriedly announced: "Your Majesty, the four princes and the elders of the main gate are coming to see Your Majesty, saying that they have something important to tell you." ”

"As soon as he spoke, the Lord came." Jian'an Emperor Zhao Yuxu stood up from the dragon chair and said without joy or sorrow: "Let them come in, I want to see what I, the king of Thailand, want to do." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, the doors of the temple opened.

King Zhao Hongli of Thailand strode in with the six elders of the Zhengyi Gate.

Zhao Hongli took the lead, and the rest of the elders of the Zhengmen followed behind him.

Entering the main hall, Zhao Hongli, who is the king of Thailand, took the initiative to bow and bow: "The son has seen his father, and he asks his father for peace." ”

Emperor Jian'an saw that Zhao Hongli was menacing at this time, where was there still half a point of asking for peace, he lowered his eyes and said: "I remember that you haven't asked me for peace for a long time after you opened a mansion outside the palace, why do you suddenly have time to come to the palace to ask for peace today?" ”

The fourth prince, Zhao Hongli, said unhurriedly: "This is all wrong for the sons." Even though the son is crowned king, the son should not forget the royal etiquette when he is in Daliang, and he should come to ask for peace every day, and hope that his father will forgive his sins. ”

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu put his hands behind his back, stared at the four princes and said, "Fourth, don't go around with me, let's say, what is the matter with the elders of the Zhengyi Sect today?" Rebellion? ”

"Father's words are serious. As a royal prince, how could Erchen do such a rebellious thing. The fourth prince, Zhao Hongli, raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Yuxu's gaze and said: "It's just that the crowd outside the palace is angry, and the sons hope to share their father's worries." ”
