He slowed down his speech: "Three years ago, Prime Minister Tu Cheng brought his youngest daughter into the palace. You went to meet the Queen Mother, the youngest daughter was taken by the palace people to play in the imperial garden, but she accidentally fell on the stone and broke her head, I took the silk to bandage her. ”

Tu Qingzhong's face changed slightly, and he also remembered this incident: "At that time, there were many palace people watching from the sidelines, and it was not uncommon for it to be passed into the ears of the Marquis of Zhenbei!"

"In return, you gave me a golden gnat, even the cage is red gold, and the cage door is inlaid with a piece of turquoise. Xiao Mi was not in a hurry, and told eloquently, "There are very few people who know about this matter, because you chose the opportunity to send it when I accompanied my father to the spring hunting in Lanchang." As you may have heard, I liked to play with gnats at that time. ”

Tu Qingzhong was stunned. The young man said nothing bad from beginning to end, could it be that he is really King Yu himself?

The officials on the side were stealing, and someone suddenly said: "At that time, His Highness got a victorious general, and he fought the gnats of all the children of each family to the point of despair." I found out today that it was sent by Lord Gongyi!"

Tu Qingzhong sneered, but then came back to his senses.

No, since this matter was raised on his own initiative, it must have been the news that Zhenbei Hou inquired about from nowhere, and honed him word by word. Tu Qingzhong still had to ask himself: "Let me ask you, what kind of congratulatory gift did Princess Lingyue give on the fortieth birthday of the first king?"

He didn't ask Xiao Mi what gift he had given, Han Zhao dared to push this kid out and fake it, presumably teaching him all the actions of His Royal Highness King Yu, no matter how big or small.

But what if it's someone else? Han Zhao can't do everything, right?

Before Xiao Mi could speak, he added: "You get along with Princess Lingyue the most in the palace, you must remember the gift she gave?"

Xiao Mi pursed her lips tightly, and her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking hard.

The horse under his seat took two uneasy steps. Gu Jishan hurriedly led the horse and didn't let the archers at the head of the city have a chance.

Up and down the city, it was extremely quiet for a while, and everyone was waiting for Xiao Mi to speak.

Han Zhao's eyes flashed, but he didn't step forward to relieve the little prince. As a superior person, I don't know how much such a scene will have to go through in the future, and I can't always rely on others to settle it.

Seeing that the young man was silent, Tu Qing's center of gravity relaxed slightly, and he said loudly: "What, but I can't remember?"

He sneered, but Xiao Mi responded, speaking very slowly: "I fell off a cliff and suffered a serious head injury, and sure enough, some of the past has been blurred and I can't remember it really." ”

Sure enough, is this kid going to talk about amnesia?

Tu Qingzhong was trying to chase after the victory, but Xiao Mi didn't give him this opportunity, and came up with a "but" in one go: "Fortunately, I still remember this incident!"

In front of everyone's eyes, the young man's eyes were blazing: "The birthday gift that Princess Lingyue took out that year was the peach wine she brewed herself! The peach is not an ordinary thing, it is said that it comes from the land of nothingness, and the wine can prolong life and prevent all diseases." ”

"After my father drank that wine, he was really gone, and he was strong and healthy, so he had the ambition to continue to conquer the world!" he looked at Tu Qingzhong, word by word, "Prime Minister Tu, am I right or not?"

The last few words, loud and clear.

Tu Qing was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word.

Yes, that's so right, he's speechless.

The officials on the side were all nodding: "Yes, that's it." ”

"I still remember that the first king Dayue also rewarded this wine to several close ministers and gave them a sip each. ”

This was indeed the case at that time, and everyone present could see it. Princess Lingyue is still young, and making wine means making a move, but the peach is really good.

Tu Qingzhong finally wavered. Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yu really escaped death, and the royal family really had blood flowing in the world and was rescued by the Marquis of Zhenbei?

The attention of all the officials on the city wall was on the little prince, and no one noticed that there was an old woman with a turban wrapped in her face in the Zhenbei army. She stood behind the tall Gu Jishan, her head bowed, but she muttered words in her mouth.

The distance between her and Xiao Mi is less than twenty zhang.

An official couldn't help but speak: "You, if you are His Royal Highness King Yu, where have you gone in the past two years?"

"At that time, he did not die, and he was seriously injured for half a year, and at that time Brother Wang had already succeeded to the throne. Xiao Mi's face was gloomy, "My father is dead, I don't dare to go back to Tianyao Palace, so I have to go to Hexiang Town to join my aunt." ”

Concubine Liao is Liao Honghyun's younger sister, and Xiao Mi should call Liao Honghyun her aunt.

The officials looked at each other, and then remembered that the Liao family had a daughter who had been hidden more than ten years ago. But I heard Xiao Mi say sadly: "I originally had no intention of returning to the palace, I just wanted to live in peace! Who knew that Brother Wang found out that I was still in the world, and even sent Xuanlongwei to kill me! Thanks to the timely arrival of Zhenbeihou and the killing of Pu Yu, the leader of Xuanlongwei, I was able to escape!"

Everyone was moved. No wonder Pu Yu, the leader of Xuanlongwei, hasn't seen him for a long time, everyone thinks that he has gone out to perform a very secret mission for King Wei again, and it turns out that he has died in the hands of Zhenbei Hou!

Xiao Mi's words suddenly became a little more credible.

Tu Qing gritted his teeth, and suddenly said loudly: "The way to verify the correct body is actually very simple. Zhenbei Hou, do you dare to invite the blood cicada?"

"Why don't you dare?" Han Zhao sneered, "It's exactly what I want." ”

"Good. Tu Qingzhong immediately said, "I'll go to Taimiao and invite the blood cicada!"

"Wait. Han Zhao spoke up to stop, "If the blood cicada proves that His Royal Highness King Yu is in good shape, what will Prime Minister Tu do?"

"The army is holding back, but His Royal Highness King Yu is sympathetic to the brotherhood of his compatriots, and he doesn't want to fight in the same room, let alone wave a knife at the civilians of the national capital, so that the century-old peace of Shengyi will be ruined!"

Tu Qing opened his mouth again, and his throat was dry.

How can he?

If there was really King Yu under the city gates, what should he do? He asked himself this question no less than ten times.

Another official beside him suddenly stepped out of the crowd and said loudly: "If this is really His Royal Highness King Yu, the Marquis of Zhenbei's move is not considered a rebellion, but just a return to the capital, and there is no need for such a confrontation inside and outside the city!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. As far as jurisprudence is concerned, there is nothing wrong with this formulation.

The current situation is very delicate, except for joining forces with the Brown Army on the banks of the Sanlong River to deal with the Ting Army, the Zhenbei Army has not clashed head-on with the army sent by Wei Ting since then, and has not suffered serious casualties. This is related to the fact that the Patriotic Army is currently being transferred out and the central part is empty, but the Zhenbei Army does not have a deep grudge with other armies.

Then the northward march of the Zhenbei Army can be regarded as escorting King Yu back to the capital, and it cannot be called a rebellion.
