Cai Jing left, Zhu Bocai also returned to Beijing with Zhao Bufan, and with a large number of masters of the Imperial City Division, no one dared to make trouble. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, looking for Bufan also learned from Zhu Bocai that in addition to buying murder and assassination, Wanhualou itself also sent many masters to intercept and kill along the road, from the moment he left Bazhou, the other party never stopped, but this Wanhualou's actions have long been under the monitoring of the Imperial City Division, and it was the people who were lurking in various places in the Imperial City Division to block the killers of Wanhualou for him.

The final ambush was also carefully planned by Wanhualou, Zhu Bocai personally fought with Wanhualou after learning the news, originally wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out Wanhualou's forces, but because of Cai Jing's appearance, Wanhualou's ambush in the dark did not dare to come out, and Zhu Bocai also lost the best opportunity.

Zhao Bufan had long suspected that in addition to Tong Guan in the court, the eunuch Yang Jian would also kill him, so he told Zhu Bocai his thoughts, suspecting that this Wanhualou was a force under Yang Jian's command, and Zhu Bocai just smiled faintly, saying that he had determined when Cai Jing protected Wanhualou that the top owner of Wanhualou was Yang Jian.

It was precisely because of this that he agreed to let Wanhualou go.

Zhao Bufan didn't quite understand the reason for this, and asked at the exit, but Zhu Bocai smiled and said nothing, only saying that before a new power pattern was formed in the court, Yang Jian could not be forced to be in a hurry, because Yang Jian was involved in the court, if Wanhualou was really eliminated, then he would definitely get evidence that Yang Jian was confusing the dynasty, and Yang Jian would inevitably fight to the death, implicating a large number of courtiers and even people in the court. Then the entire imperial court will be out of balance in an instant, and the contradictions between the forces of all parties will intensify as a result, causing violent turmoil, and many, many people will die!

Whether it is Zhu Bocai, Cai Jing, or Tong Guan, the forces in power in the DPRK and China are not absolutely sure that they can survive the chaos, so Cai Jing doesn't want to see that situation, and specially reminds Zhu Bocai not to be ruthless, and no one can afford the out-of-control result.

Zhao Bufan slowly learned about these situations, and gradually had a clearer context of the situation in the court.

Back in Bianliang, Tokyo, Zhu Bocai did not let him go to the post house, but took him to the Zhu family's outer house to live, because his holy decree was robbed, and now he cannot disclose the news that he has entered Beijing, otherwise the emperor will ask for verification when he summons him, and it will be a big trouble.

In order to deal with the loss of the holy decree, Zhu Bocai had a plan and quietly released the news that Wanhualou assassinated Zhao Bufan, so that all the powerful ministers would know.

Privy Council Study!

Tong Guan was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room, and kept shouting and scolding with his hands behind his back: "Which tendon is wrong with this Yang Jian, I have to intervene horizontally, the ghost pawn lost a whole branch to get Zhao Bufan's holy decree, and he can be put to death at the sight, and now I am making such a scene, it is really stupid, stupid......"

As one of Tong Guan's henchmen, Shen Hanyang knew Tong Guan's character very well and knew that he was angry, so he always stood by the side and kept silent, until Tong Guan had scolded enough and calmed down a little, he answered expressionlessly: "My lord, my subordinates thought that they should go to Liang Shicheng as soon as possible, now only he can save Zhao Bufan, Zhu Bocai will definitely go to him for help, we should be ahead of them!"

"It's useless!" Tong Guan's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "If Yang Jian doesn't join in, I will go to Liang Shicheng to say a few words, and he won't help Zhao Bufan, but now that Yang Jian joins in, Liang Shicheng will definitely help, with his temperament, at most, let Zhu Bocai and Zhao Bufan contribute some money!"

Shen Hanyang heard some taste.

"My lord, is it possible that Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian are not in harmony?"

Tong Guan sighed leisurely: "It's not just discord, it's incompatible, Yang Jian was just a little eunuch in the back garden of the palace in his early years, and he can't be compared with Liang Shicheng at all, but since the third year of Yuan Fu, he was suddenly favored by the queen, and gradually got His Majesty's favor during the Chongning period, and then the queen drove the throne, and His Majesty canonized Zheng as the queen, but Yang Jian's status has not decreased, but has been more and more favored by His Majesty, in order to compete for favor, Yang Jian has not given Liang Shicheng a set, and the two can be called a deep hatred!"

After hearing these words, Shen Hanyang frowned slightly, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"My lord, my subordinates are a little puzzled, when Yang Jian was rising, didn't Liang Shicheng manage to control him?

Tong Guan stopped, his face contemplative.

"This is also my confusion for many years, when Yang Jian was unknown, but in the third year of Yuanfu suddenly got the grace of the deceased Queen Wang, no matter how big or small he made a mistake, the Queen Wang protected him, and even continued to say good things in front of His Majesty, but I was envious back then. Those eight years were also the smoothest eight years for Yang Jian, until Queen Wang drove and Queen Zheng ascended the throne, all this changed, but at that time, he had already become a trend, won the trust of His Majesty, and no longer needed the support of the queen. ”

Shen Hanyang was a very thoughtful person, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly continued: "Master Tong still remembers a major event that happened in the third year of Yuan Fu!"

"Big deal?" Tong Guan looked puzzled, maybe it was too long, he really didn't remember much.

Shen Hanyang took a step forward and said softly: " In the summer of the second year of Yuanfu, the late Queen Wang and Queen Zheng, who was still a concubine at the time, were pregnant, His Majesty had a dragon son for the first time, and he had a big heart, and when the prince was still in the womb, he named the two of them, and the son of Queen Wang was named Zhao Huan, which is the current prince, and the son of Queen Zheng was named Zhao Ta, but at the beginning of the third year of Yuan Fu, Zhao Huan was born smoothly, and Zhao Ta died of a strange illness not long after he was born, and His Majesty's favorite was Empress Zheng, and he was especially partial to Zhao Ta, but at that time, His Majesty was so angry that he killed many people, shaking the government and the opposition!

"It's true, but what do you want to express?" Tong Guan nodded suspiciously, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Shen Hanyang did not hesitate, and continued: "Master Tong, this matter will be put aside first, and then the subordinates will mention Zhao Bufan's master, at the beginning, Lord Tong did everything possible to take out the Nine Turns of the Golden Yang Divine Skill from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the palace, but he didn't think about it, but he intercepted him, although Master Tong finally joined forces with Senior Brother Feng to seriously injure him, but the secret book was taken away by him, and this incident also alarmed Queen Zheng, while warning the adult, while sending a master to look for that person, it seems that he wanted to inquire about the secret matter of the past. ”

"What's strange about this, you should know who Zhao Bufan's master is, he is not only a close friend of His Majesty, but also an admirer of Empress Zheng today, but unfortunately before His Majesty ascended the throne, Empress Zheng was given to His Majesty to the Queen Mother, and he had no choice but to withdraw. But no matter what, Empress Zheng and His Majesty have deep feelings for him, and it is common sense for Empress Zheng to talk to him about the past!" Tong Guan looked a little disapproving.

Shen Hanyang smiled, paused slightly, and waited for Tong Guan to think for a while before answering again: "Do you remember when he broke with Your Majesty? Back then, he was deeply valued by His Majesty, and the two of them could be called close friends, even if he was injured in both legs, he also promoted the Imperial City Division later, and he was extremely powerful, so if you think about it carefully, when did he break with Your Majesty?"

"Yuan Fu three years?" Tong Guan was quite curious, and became more and more interested in Shen Hanyang's words.

"Yes, it was exactly the third year of Yuanfu, and it happened to be less than a month after the death of Zhao Ta, the son of Empress Zheng, he entered the palace to face the saint at that time, but he didn't know what to say, which made His Majesty furious, not only dismissed him from his post and demoted him, but also completely erased him from the historical records, forbidding anyone to talk about his name. Shen Hanyang's eyes showed rare excitement, as if he had discovered some big secret.

"What are you trying to prove?" Tong Guan frowned.

"My lord, when this information is taken together, and then linked to Yang Jian's inexplicable rise back then, doesn't it make people suspicious?" Shen Hanyang asked rhetorically.

Tong Guan understood what he wanted to say, smiled and waved his hand: "Do you want to say that Zhao Bufan may be the prince Zhao Ta who died young?"

"Yes!" Shen Hanyang admitted directly.

"Han Yang, I haven't even thought about this question, because it's impossible, when Zhao Ta died, I was also in the palace, I participated in the funeral throughout the whole process, watching the child be buried, how is this possible, you think about it too much!"

Shen Hanyang was unmoved, and insisted: "My lord, you are preconceived, aside from what you have seen with your own eyes, this matter is very doubtful when taken together, why did Zhao Bufan just appear in the small mountain village during that time? Why did that person happen to be accepted as an apprentice by that person later? Why did that person snatch the Nine Turns Golden Yang Divine Skill for Zhao Bufan? Why did Zhao Bufan happen to be surnamed Zhao?" Why did he choose the name Bufan, and according to our investigation in that mountain village, it can also be determined that this name is Zhao Bufan's original one, when his adoptive parents picked him up, his name and birth date were written in the swaddling clothes, although there is no way to confirm the birth date, but this name is strange!"

"When you say that, this matter is really doubtful!" Tong Guan frowned, as if he was also considering the possibility.

Shen Hanyang's eyes were scorching, and he asked word by word: "My lord, my subordinates have one last question, who was responsible for putting the prince Zhao Ta in the coffin at that time?"

"That's the person!" Tong Guan responded casually, but as soon as the words came out, he was stunned, and the whole person suddenly went from head to toe.

Shen Hanyang took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Yang Jian rose at that time, and suddenly got the favor of Queen Wang, and Empress Wang's son Zhao Huan also became the only eldest son of the emperor born that year, and Empress Zheng, who was still a concubine at the time, gave birth to a son Zhao Ta but unfortunately died, and then that person happened to be responsible for putting Zhao Ta in the coffin. At the same time, an abandoned baby Zhao Bufan appeared in a small mountain village not far from Bianliang, and then that person accepted Zhao Bufan as an apprentice and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and then that person seized the Nine Turns of Jinyang Divine Skill for Zhao Bufan, plus the emotional entanglement between that person and His Majesty and Empress Zheng, all of this is not suspicious?

Now, without any conflict of interest and hatred, Yang Jian wants to kill Zhao Bufan at all costs, regardless of the loss of Wanhualou under his command, but Zhu Bocai has to marry his eldest daughter Zhu Lian to him on the grounds that Zhao Bufan is a talent, and does his best to protect him.

Tong Guan seemed to suddenly wake up to something, and the whole person was shocked.

"You say very reasonable, when Zhao Ta died immediately into the ice coffin cold seal, it was that person personally operated, no one else saw it, because there was no preparation of Zhao Ta's mausoleum at that time, so his actual burial date was forced to delay, until the fourth year of Yuan Fu in September to build the mausoleum for the burial, but also set that day as his death day, I only saw the dead baby when he entered the ground, I didn't see the appearance when he entered the coffin, such a small child, I can't tell if it's Zhao Ta!"

After saying this, Tong Guan walked around anxiously, took a deep breath, and said urgently: "Shen Hanyang, you give you a list tomorrow, you go to find the people above, if you can find it, then you must find out what happened back then, if they have died unexpectedly or disappeared completely, then report back in time!"
