Chapter 33: The Rabbit in the Hole

After getting out of the carriage, the servants in the palace hurriedly walked out, stood respectfully on both sides, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome the prince back to the house." ”

Zhang Ao casually pointed to the two servants and said, "You two will take the regent's to the stable, feed the best horse feed, and don't allow a little difference." ”

The two servants took the reins and said yes, led the horses and left.

"Please. ”

Zhang Ao made a gesture of please.

Entering the palace, countless servants stand on both sides, the luxury of the house is naturally needless to say, as far as the eye can see, the houses are all made of golden silk nanmu, rockeries, all kinds of famous flowers and rare trees are everything.

Chu Maniac sighed: "Look, compared to this palace, your marshal's mansion is a thatched house. ”

Xinghe smiled indifferently.

In the main mansion, Zhang Ao sat in the first seat and said to Wang Chong beside him: "Don't let anyone in." ”

Then he asked, "I don't know why the regent came to my Lingzhou?"

Xinghe took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Traveling in the mountains and rivers, since the Great War of the Hundred Dynasties, the first emperor has repeatedly ordered that it cannot be attacked. All these years, I can't hold a knife anymore, so I go out for a walk. ”

Zhang Ao smiled slightly: "Also, since the Great War of the Hundred Dynasties, the first emperor has emphasized literature and light military force in the court. Especially now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, the two first assistants and the two assistants are both Confucian ministers. Even you, the regent, are far away from the customs and are not in the court. ”

Xinghe smiled: "I was originally a military general, and it is reasonable to guard the frontier. If you really want me to go to the auxiliary government, to be honest, I really can't do it. ”

Zhang Ao laughed and said, "You are open-minded, do you know what those ministers in the court and the central government say about you?"

Xinghe shook his head and smiled: "I don't know." ”

Zhang Ao squinted his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his eyes incomprehensible.

Xinghe suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I wonder if the prince has ever heard of a person with a broken arm?"

Zhang Ao said with a blank face: "The person with a broken arm, I haven't heard of it, what is the regent asking for?"

Xinghe smiled and said: "That's the son of Baiyue Hou, Baiyue Hou has secretly recruited troops and horses over the years, does King Wu know about this?"

Zhang Ao frowned, and said with a sigh: "I don't know, isn't the regent getting some news?"

Xinghe nodded and said, "Yes, over the years, the Marquis of Baiyue has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, nearly more than 100,000, not counting others." ”

According to the constitution promulgated by the dynasty, any vassal of the old dynasty could not have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and no more than 10,000 war horses, and he was not allowed to build weapons privately. If you want to replenish new soldiers, you must get the permission of the court.

Zhang Ao's expression became solemn, and he sneered: "Isn't it that Baiyue Marquis who wants to establish himself as the king?"

Xinghe Road: "With him, a Baiyue Marquis is not a worry, I am afraid of ......"

Zhang Ao said sharply: "I see who dares, the regent can rest assured, Baiyue is only a three-day trip from my Lingzhou, and tomorrow I will send someone to investigate the truth, if there is really such a thing, this king will personally lead troops to suppress it." ”

"Okay, if King Wu has such words, then I will leave. Xinghe stood up and said, "Old Chu, let's go." ”

The Chu madman stood up with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Ao was surprised: "This is leaving?"

Xinghe nodded and said, "I won't bother the Martial King." ”

Zhang Ao didn't hold back too much, let people lead the horse, and then personally sent Xinghe to the door of the mansion.

Wang Chong stood aside, his eyes were cold, and he said softly: "Lord Wang, what does Xinghe mean?"

Zhang Ao suddenly smiled and said: "The rabbit in the cave will only come out if you are frightened, Xinghe, Xinghe, you also underestimate me Zhang Ao." ”

Wang Chong made a neck-scratching gesture and said, "Then should we send someone?"

"Confused. Zhang Ao snorted lightly: "Do you really think that the galaxy is reckless? It's ridiculous, don't forget, half of the hundred dynasties were destroyed by him." The million Kamigawa army was ostensibly the army of the imperial court, but in fact, it was just the private army of the galaxy. You don't have a personal experience, the Kamigawa army admonished the soldiers back then, but it was only a few days, and the troops besieged the capital. You just have to remember that you can only be wise against the Kamigawa Army, not martial. ”

Wang Chong pondered for a moment and asked, "What does the prince mean?"

Zhang Ao said softly: "He's too crazy, don't forget, not every emperor can have the same mind as the previous emperor." ”

Wang Chong was silent, not knowing whether he understood or not.

The holy monarch is a mad general, first of all, he must be a holy monarch in order to tolerate a mad general, but how many such kings have there been throughout the ages?

Zhang Ao snorted coldly: "It is true that he Xinghe is loyal to the imperial court, but the first emperor can see it, and the new emperor may not be able to see it." He relied on the emperor to count enemies everywhere in the court, and many ministers in the court had long been dissatisfied with him. Wait, the emperor can create today's great cause, not the same is just waiting for it. ”

There was a person walking in front of him, and it was Liu He, who was forced by Xinghe to cut off his arm, looked at the empty sleeves, raised his head and said with a smile: "Lord, why do you have to wait so hard, it is only a matter of time before the emperor dies." Zhang Kun can ascend the throne, what is the reason, who can not see?"

Zhang Ao said: "Zhang Kun is indeed not a capable prince, but why can he sit in that position? To tell you the truth, except for him, no one else has that capital." ”

Liu He obviously understands the truth of this, since even King Wu has to wait. Baiyue Hou is just a wreck of the old dynasty, of course, he doesn't dare to act rashly, and he knows better what the word "dare to taste".

Although Baiyue has secretly gathered a lot of soldiers and horses over the years, these are unsightly.

Zhang Ao squinted at Liu He and said: "Go back and tell your father, there are some things that should be stopped, the scouts of Kamigawa are not idiots, of course, this king is not an idiot." ”

Yoo Hyuk was stunned for a moment, and he didn't say anything more when he said yes.

At this time, Xinghe took the Chu madmen to an inn, which was not superior or too bad, and each asked for a room.

Walking into the room, a shopkeeper brought a cup of tea, bent down and walked out.

Turning the upside-down teacup over, there was a note underneath, and Xinghe took a casual look at it and burned it.

The Kamigawa Scout Army is an extremely special existence, and the people in it are even more mixed, some are rich and some are poor. is such a two-extreme existence, whether it is a wealthy family or a low-level wind whisper, they can't escape their ears.

It can be said that Kamigawa's scouts are all over the dynasty, and even their shadows are in the rivers and lakes.

Of course, all of this is due to Dong Jinjin, although he does not have a good reputation among the Kamigawa Army. But that doesn't mean he's just a fool who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, on the contrary, he's also extremely good in some ways.

Walking to the window, Xinghe saw the pedestrians coming and going on the street, the corners of his mouth turned up, closed the window, and lay back on the bed.
