Since his plot to seize the key to Qiankun was discovered by Zuo Xiang's father and son not long ago, Zheng Yong has always had a sense of anxiety, always feeling that something dangerous will fall on his head.

Because he knew very well that with the shrewdness of the father and son, it was likely that he would suspect the purpose of his seizure of the key, and he might even further suspect that he had colluded with the northerners.

And with the insidiousness of the father and son, they will inevitably use this matter to secretly trick him and frame him.

Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, he has strictly ordered Miyahiko to hide in the private house in the east of the city and not to go out.

In fact, in his heart, he also had the idea of killing that Gong Yan.

However, he had to worry about Shen Qingluo and the other northerners who were hiding in the shadows. Once they find out that they have killed Miyahiko, they will take revenge and make their situation even more dangerous.

Since he couldn't get rid of these northerners for a while, he could only use all his strength to deal with Zuo Xiang's father and son, and get rid of them before they had time to attack him.

It is precisely because of this that he has been sparing no effort to persuade the emperor to fabricate charges and take advantage of the so-called Prince Ding's rebellion to put Zuo Xiang's father and son to death as soon as possible.

Seeing that this plan is going very well, the final action to close the net will be taken immediately, but suddenly there are branches!

Today, he received a secret report about King Ji's intention to rebel.

For Zheng Yong, this should have been good news.

Because since that martial arts competition, King Ji has hated him, an old eunuch with three swords, to the bone, and he will want to get rid of him quickly.

This has really become a big problem for Zheng Yong, and he has to be on guard against King Ji's revenge from time to time.

However, this time, King Ji, who had always been eager to repay himself, calmed down, and never took any reckless action, and did the stupid thing of sending someone to assassinate him, the head of Ouchi.

In this way, Zheng Yong was even more uneasy.

Just because King Ji didn't take action doesn't mean he won't. It just shows that he is planning a more certain action, and if he doesn't do it, he will hit it with one blow!

Now, Zheng Yong finally knows that King Ji's ambition is not just as simple as getting rid of him, the old eunuch. The eldest son of the emperor who is in captivity wants to get rid of his own father and emperor as well!

However, if people's ambitions are too great, the risks they take will naturally increase, and if they fail, the consequences they have to bear are also incomparably great.

Once King Ji's rebellion is detected by the emperor in advance, then the end of his defeat will also be doomed.

Since the threat of King Ji can be eliminated here, it stands to reason that Zheng Yong should be deeply fortunate.

However, he could not get rid of a faint fear and uneasiness in his heart. Because he knows very well that Zuo Xiang's father and son are his most terrible opponents.

Therefore, when he first received the secret report that King Ji wanted to raise an army and rebel, Zheng Yong hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to report the news to the emperor immediately.

What he was worried about was that after the emperor got the news, he would immediately abandon the original plan and not make a move on the father and son of Zuo Xiang for the time being.

In fact, this result is also inevitable. The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Naturally, the emperor will not let himself act as the pair of sandpiper clam who will take the lead in the competition, but will be the fisherman who is ready to pick up ready-made cheap.

Although he was a little unwilling, Zheng Yong also thought that in this situation, it was wise to choose to be a fisherman.

Therefore, he finally reported the rebellion of King Ji to the emperor.

At the same time, he deliberately woke up the emperor, so that King Ji and Zuo Xiang's father and son could fight first, and after both sides were defeated, the emperor would take action to eradicate the rest of the evils.

However, what Zheng Yong didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor, who was too conceited, had other plans-

The emperor was ready to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the imperial tomb to guard filial piety and induce King Ji to act first. Then the 100,000 forbidden army exterminated the 100,000 Eastern Navy led by King Ji's fellow party, Yan Jiwu, Marquis of Dongping. The 3,000 soldiers and guards of the Yan clan in the city were cut off by the emperor's 5,000 guards who stayed in the capital. At the same time, he piggybacked, and killed the father and son of the left prime minister.

If this strategy is used properly, it can indeed achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

However, Zheng Yong had a strong feeling that the emperor still underestimated the father and son of the left prime minister too much!

The lessons of blood again and again have made Zheng Yong soberly realize that even if there is no so-called collusion with Prince Ding, just the father and son of Zuo Xiang are enough to stir up the entire capital.

Not to mention that the emperor is still a forbidden army that he trusts very much at the moment, in Zheng Yong's opinion, I am afraid that it is no longer something that his majesty the emperor can command. And Song Qingfeng, the commander of the forbidden army, and even his father Song Xingye, are all secretly harboring ghosts and have ill intentions.

In this case, the emperor thought that he had the pearl of wisdom in his hands, and at the same time, he was also in his hands to win. However, Zheng Yong believes that the emperor's plan is a completely risky move, neither knowing himself nor the other, and the chance of success is simply minimal.

Because of this, when he heard that the emperor suddenly put forward the hypothesis of the so-called rebellion, he was frightened, and his legs weakened and he knelt down directly.

And then, the emperor not only did not appease him a little, but gave him a rather contemptuous reprimand.

In addition to fear, there was also resentment, Zheng Yong's heart suddenly became ruthless, and he felt that he didn't need to plan a way back for this old faint gentleman at all!

In fact, this old faint gentleman is right, since he is already a person without a descendant, it is meaningless to even fight for the whole world, so why care about the fate of this old faint monarch?

Why don't you take advantage of this inevitable chaos to kill all the murderers of your child Zhao Zhan one by one?

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Yong's face once again showed that habitual flattering smile, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, you have taught you that the old slave is really too confused! Your Majesty is so holy, how can you doubt the old slave's fierce loyalty?"

Haoxing Xiaoqi just glanced at him, and then continued to study the map in front of him.

After a long time, he looked up at Zheng Yong again and said, "From tomorrow, you will order someone to spread the news in the palace, saying that I have been disturbed by the attack on the Protector Temple by the northerners recently, and it is difficult to sleep at night. And I heard that the parting arrows of the hermit people were rampant in the suburbs of Beijing, so they intended to send additional guards to escort them when they went to the imperial tomb to guard filial piety. ”

Zheng Yong hurriedly bowed down.

"Do you understand my intentions?"

Zheng Yong didn't dare to continue pretending to be confused at this time, and said very respectfully: "Old slave understands! Your Majesty, you are going to sing an empty city plan, so that King Ji thinks that he has an opportunity, and takes rash action in a hurry, so as to step into the trap that Your Majesty has set for him." ”

As he spoke, his old face was like a chrysanthemum petal, and he burst into a flattering smile, and then sighed again, and said, "Your Majesty's clever schemes, how can the stupid head of the old slave figure figure it out?

When Haoxing Xiaoqi heard this, he burst out laughing heartily, "Although your words are a bit exaggerated, they are not outrageous. There are indeed many mysteries in my plan. It's just that you old thing hasn't fully understood at all, so you're in a hurry to make noise, and you really haven't really opened your mind yet!"

Zheng Yong learned a lesson, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, but he didn't dare to say more.

In fact, at this moment, Haoxing Mingrui's heart is feeling proud.

Although the taste of high and low can bring people a sense of superiority, the situation of no one applauding is very uncomfortable.

Now his ingenuity has finally gained understanding and appreciation, although this understanding and appreciation is only from a humble minion, but it is also a comfort.

He ordered Zheng Yong to remove the map of the eastern suburbs of Jingyang, and revealed the map of Jingyang City marked with chess pieces below.

"Next, when there is chaos in the city, you send Ouchi spies to infiltrate the Yan family's mansion soldiers, and pretend to pass on the order of King Ji to attack the Prime Minister's mansion......"

Zheng Yong nodded again and again while listening, his small eyes squinted slightly, but he was making his own calculations......
