Yanwang Palace.

The civil and military are all here.

At this moment, everyone's expressions were very strange.

There is still one day before Chinese New Year's Eve, which also means that they are about to start an army!

But at this time, an accident happened suddenly.

Zhang Xin, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, sent a greeting post many times, wanting to see Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

Not surprisingly, Zhu Di didn't think much about it, and directly refused.

Seeing himself at this juncture now, what does Zhang Xin want to do?

Zhu Di was suspicious at first, this was another conspiracy of the imperial court, so he repeatedly refused.

However, Zhang Xin seemed to be enchanted, and he refused to give up, and he had to see Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was also a little shocked, so he simply summoned his civil and military henchmen and told him about it.

After hearing this, everyone's faces also changed.

At this moment, they are like frightened birds, and any action of the people in the court will scare them half to death.

After all, they are about to start an army, and now they can't make trouble!

Monk Daoyan stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then spoke tentatively.

"Lord Wang, is there a possibility that Zhang Xin wants to surrender?"

"As far as the poor monk knows, Zhang Xin's father is Zhang Xing, who once went out to fight with the prince and had a deep friendship!"

When Zhu Di heard this, a hearty man appeared in his mind, it was Zhang Xing, the famous founding general.

Zhang Xing is a good tiger general, brave and good at fighting, and must be the first in every battle.

However, because of this, although Zhang Xing did not die on the battlefield, he left a lot of dark diseases in his body, so he died of illness in the fifteenth year of Hongwu.

Zhang Yu opened his mouth at this moment and denied the statement of Daoyan monk.

"Zhang Xing and the last general are good friends, but he died of illness in the fifteenth year of Hongwu."

"It has been a full eighteen years now, even if the relationship between Zhang Xing and the prince is deep, I am afraid that it will dissipate with time."

"What's more, this letter didn't come to see me a long time ago, and I was about to start an army to appease, but he suddenly asked to meet Lord Yan, no matter how you look at it, this is not normal behavior!"

Zhu Di nodded after hearing this, and recognized Zhang Yu's statement.

Eighteen years have passed, what is there to talk about?

Zhang Xin is now taking the initiative to visit, it must be a conspiracy of the imperial court!

Everyone spoke out one after another, and finally reached a unanimous opinion, that is, ignore it!

It is imminent that the Yanwang Mansion will raise troops, and at this moment, it is better to have more than one thing, and it must not be a sidewalk!

Even if this letter really has the heart to surrender to the Chengyan Palace, it is a big deal to arrest and interrogate him after raising troops, there is no need to risk meeting him at this critical moment!

This little matter was agreed upon, and Zhu Di didn't take it to heart.

Immediately, everyone once again discussed the plan to start the army, and it was necessary to make full preparations.

And at this moment, Zhang Xin was outside King Yan's mansion, and when he learned that His Royal Highness King Yan refused to see him again, he was suddenly a little depressed!

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Shu Xie Gui and others will do it tomorrow, he has no time!

However, the guards didn't give him a chance to continue talking, and drove him away.

Zhang Xin returned to the mansion a little dejected, pacing back and forth restlessly.

After Mother Zhang learned the news, she couldn't help but sigh.

This son is good anywhere, but he is too frizzy and has no father's demeanor!

It is precisely because of this that Zhang's mother will persuade Zhang Xin to surrender to King Yan, once the rebellion of King Yan Zhu Di is successful, then Zhang Xin is a minister of the dragon, even if he can be mediocre, he can also have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime!

Zhang Xin's mother's good intentions, Zhang Xin didn't know, he was a little annoyed at the moment.

He went to see King Yan many times, but it would make Zhou Shu, Xie Gui and others suspicious.

"Mother!"

"What now?"

"If Xie Gui becomes suspicious of me, then it's over!"

Mother Zhang didn't expect this child to be so uncompetitive, so she could only sigh secretly.

"Don't panic!"

"Xie Gui and the others don't dare to do anything to you!"

"After all, there is still Huang Zicheng standing behind you now, Xie Gui doesn't dare to do anything to you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xin calmed down a little.

Mother Zhang thought for a moment, and then gave a solution.

"You go to see Xie Gui and Zhou Shu now, saying that after your on-site investigation in the past two days, you have figured out the layout of Yanwang Palace, so that you can dispel their suspicions!"

"Go to Daqingshou Temple for the mother's meeting, inform Princess Yan of the news, and ask Princess Yan to arrange for His Royal Highness King Yan to meet you!"

"In addition, you must remember that unless you see Zhu Di, the king of Yan, you must not reveal the secret edict of the imperial court to anyone, this is the foundation of my Zhang family's future life!"

Zhang Xin nodded when he heard this, and immediately rushed to the official office of the chief executive.

At this moment, Xie Gui and Zhou Shu were plotting, and when they saw Zhang Xin coming, a cold light flashed in their eyes.

In the past few days, Zhang Xin's small movements, they have all seen it.

Xie Gui had already set up a secret whistle around King Yan's Mansion, and any wind and grass could not hide it from him.

So when he saw Zhang Xin, Xie Gui immediately asked, "Zhang Xin, do you want to defect to the enemy?"

Zhang Xin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately explained: "Why did your lord say this?"

"In the past few days, in the name of visiting Yan King Zhu Di, the last general has roughly figured out the layout of Yan Wang's Palace, and he has never had the idea of joining the enemy!"

Hearing his words, Xie Gui and Zhou Shu looked at each other.

They weren't stupid enough to believe Zhang Xin's words.

However, Zhang Xin failed to meet Zhu Di after all, and the content of the secret edict has not been leaked.

"I see, but I'm wrong to blame General Zhang."

"General Zhang has a heart, but before the next operation, it is better to report it to avoid misunderstanding!"

Zhou Shupi opened his mouth with a smile, and the meaning of the knock was very obvious.

Xie Gui also looked at Zhang Xin with a displeased face, "What else do you need to investigate?" ”

"Just wait for tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve, this official will lead the army into the Yan King's Mansion, and if you make such a self-assertion, you will startle the snake!"

Zhang Xin hurriedly opened his mouth to admit his mistake, not daring to refute in the slightest.

Seeing this situation, Xie Gui's expression eased slightly.

"Okay, forgive me for not making a big mistake yet, and this matter is not to blame!"

"I'm waiting to bathe in the emperor's grace, and I should go to the soup for Your Majesty, and don't do anything that affects my family!"

After beating Zhang Xin again, Xie Gui stopped.

When Zhang Xin walked out of the official office, his back was already soaked with cold sweat!

At the same time, Daqingshou Temple!

Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun is worshipping the Buddha.

This is a habit she has cultivated all year round, and every year before Chinese New Year's Eve, she will come to worship the Buddha and pray for the blessing and longevity of her husband and children.

And the host of Daqingshou Temple is the monk Daoyan of the demon monk in the troubled times, but he is discussing important matters in the Yanwang Mansion at the moment.

After Xu Miaoyun finished worshipping the Buddha, he immediately got into the carriage and prepared to return to the palace.

At this moment, an old woman suddenly stopped her.

The guards stepped forward to drive away, Zhang's mother explained her identity in a low voice, and when she learned the news, the guards were shocked and immediately reported to Princess Yan in the carriage.

"Princess, the person who came claimed to be the mother of Zhang Xin, the commander of Beiping, and asked to see the princess!"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun was suddenly shocked.

Zhang Xin has visited the prince many times, and Xu Miaoyun knows about it.

But now this mother actually came to ask to see herself, and she chased after this Daqingshou Temple!

What exactly do this mother and son want to do?

After thinking for a while, Xu Miaoyun immediately ordered: "Invite her to the carriage!"

"Princess, this ......"

The guards hesitated, in case the old woman was not good for the princess......

"Don't worry, I'm Xu Da's daughter, not a weak woman!"

Xu Miaoyun said domineeringly, dispelling the concerns in the guard's heart.

Soon, Zhang's mother was respectfully invited into the carriage.

As soon as she saw Xu Miaoyun, Zhang's mother bowed her head.

"The wife of the folk woman Zhang Xing and the mother of Zhang Xin, meet Princess Yan!"

"No need to be polite, get up and speak!"

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhang's mother and asked in a cold voice, "You mother and son are so scheming, what do you want to do?"

"Princess Mingjian, my son has learned of the secret edict of the imperial court, which is related to the life and death of His Royal Highness King Yan, please arrange for His Royal Highness King Yan to meet with my son!"

"What is the content of the edict?"

"The women don't know!"
