In the Cuihan Pavilion, Zheng Yong walked in with a few letters in his hand and walked in with a smile, but saw that His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair and napping.

He couldn't help but frown secretly. At this time, just after the end of the year, the emperor fell asleep, which shows that his spirit is getting worse and worse.

Quietly put those letters on the dragon case in front of the emperor, and then he waved his hand to let the inner eunuchs who were guarding the palace retreat, and even he himself did not serve by the emperor's side, but waited outside the palace.

At this time, a small inner supervisor came to report that a large inner agent had asked to see him, the chief administrator.

In a hidden side hall, Zheng Yong listened to the secret report of the dusty spy with a gloomy face, and then sent it away without saying a word.

After habitually pacing back and forth in the hall for a few steps, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and walked out of this side hall and walked towards the Cuihan Pavilion where the emperor was located.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Zheng Yong saw that the emperor had woken up and was reading the letters he had just put on the dragon case.

While watching, Haoxing Xiaoqi also said with satisfaction: "This Li Jin is really a rare talent! These handwriting imitations are seven or eight points similar to that of Prince Ding himself. And these letters to the left minister to discuss the rebellion are also written in a similar way, and the wording is quite appropriate, which is indeed good!"

Zheng Yong hurriedly echoed and praised a few words, and then stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the old slave has just received a secret report, and there seems to be some change in Jeju. ”

When Haoxing Xiaoqi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, King Ji and Yan Jiwu, the Marquis of Dongping who garrisoned the East China Sea, secretly exchanged many letters. Moreover, this Marquis of Dongping also infiltrated the Jianhua Palace in disguise to confine King Ji and met privately with King Ji. ”

"Dongping Hou?"

Haoxing Xiaoqi's face sank, threw the letter he was looking at in his hand on the dragon case, and frowned: "This Yan Jiwu is a side branch of the Yan family, and the relationship with King Ji was not very close in the past. Now that he is also bewitched by King Ji, what crooked thoughts have he started?"

"The old slave heard that this Dongping Marquis has a violent temperament and is very happy, even among the Yan clan, he is not very popular.

However, although this person has a very poor character, he has 100,000 Eastern Navy in his hands. Moreover, these soldiers have been fighting with the rogues of the sea all year round, and they have also developed a fierce and ruthless, cruel and murderous nature. ”

Although Zheng Yong's words did not directly answer the emperor's speculation, they hinted at the existence of this possibility very cleverly.

"Well, King Ji must have taken a fancy to the 100,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the Marquis of Dongping. And Yan Jiwu's stupid thing suddenly got the attention of the person with the highest status among the Yan clan, and he must have been flattered, so he willingly served him!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but snort coldly, "It seems that there are more and more people in the world who are worried about me! Haoxing Xiaoyu colluded with Zuo Xiang, and Haoxing Mingren had a secret discussion with Dongping Hou. There are two fierce tigers next to my couch at the same time, and they are both confidants who make it difficult for me to sleep!"

Zheng Yong listened, but there was a wicked smile on his face, and he said softly: "The old slave has heard a saying, 'If two tigers fight, there will be an injury'." ”

When Hao Xingxiao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and he sat on the dragon chair and thought to himself.

And Zheng Yong stood aside and kept silent, waiting for the suspicious emperor to figure out the true meaning of what he said.

After a long time like this, Haoxing Xiaoqi suddenly spoke: "Zheng Yong, go and bring me the map of Jingyang City." ”

Zheng Yong hurriedly went to the inner eunuchs guarding outside the hall and gave a few orders. When he turned around again, he came in with a refreshing cup of tea.

Haoxing Xiaoqi took the tea and took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Your sentence 'two tigers are fighting' is indeed a reminder to me! Since they are all coming for my throne, let them compete with each other first, and then divide the winner and loser." ”

Zheng Yong bowed his waist and smiled flatteringly, and said: "How can the old slave have such knowledge? It's just a casual remark, but I didn't expect to give Your Majesty a wake-up call, but it makes the old slave rejoice for Your Majesty in his selfish heart!"

Over the years, Haoxing Xiaoqi has long been accustomed to the sycophants of Zheng Yong, an old minion, not only does not feel disgusting, but only feels that it is easy to use.

And at this moment, he was secretly proud because he thought of a plan that could kill two birds with one stone, so he became even more cordial to Zheng Yong, the old eunuch, just because he was really eager to show his unique plan to others.

"In fact, among the so-called 'two tigers', Prince Ding can be called a sick tiger at best. His martial arts have long been abolished, and he is not too young, so what ability does he have to lead troops to fight?

I once asked Li Jin to persuade his former subordinates to help him rebel in the name of Haoxing Xiaoyu, but no one responded, and even two of them secretly reported the matter to the imperial court.

And Zuo Xiang Leng Yiqing, who colluded with Prince Ding, although he held military and political power, he actually did not control a single soldier in his hands, and the 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital still had to obey my orders in the end. ”

Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor's face couldn't help but show a little triumph, and he was still very pleased that he had a good eye for people and handed over the forbidden army to Song Qingfeng.

"As for King Je, he has been imprisoned in Jeju, but he is still a thief, and he dares to covet the throne. What this rebel relied on, in addition to the 100,000 Eastern Navy of the Marquis of Dongping, should be the soldiers and guards of the various prefectures in the hands of the Yan clan in the capital.

Although the Eastern Navy of the Marquis of Dongping was fierce, it was only proficient in water warfare, and how could it be worthy of the 100,000 elite divisions of the forbidden army? In addition, with Song Qingfeng, a tiger general, commanding the forbidden army, he would definitely be able to completely annihilate the rebels of the Marquis of Dongping.

And the soldiers of the Yan clan in Jingyang City are not enough trouble, but they have some other uses. You can use them to deal with Zuo Xiang's father and son first, and then my guards will kill them all!"

When he said this, Haoxing Xiaoqi's tone was cold, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind to eliminate all those who dared to oppose him!

However, Zheng Yong was stunned when he listened. He blinked his little eyes a few times, and was thinking about how to return to the emperor's words, but saw two inner eunuchs walking in with a few volumes of maps.

He hurriedly motioned for them to put the map aside, and sent them all out again.

At this time, he didn't dare to say more, but first unfolded those maps one by one, and finally chose a map of Jingyang City, and carefully laid it on the dragon case in front of the emperor.

This map is so detailed that even the mansions of every important official in Jingyang City are clearly marked.

Haoxing Xiaoqi casually picked up a chess stick next to him and placed a sunspot in every mansion that was involved with the Yan family.

And Zheng Yong was on the side to help him calculate the approximate number of soldiers and guards in each prefecture.

In the end, the number of all the Yan Mansion soldiers and guards added up to more than 3,000 people.

Haoxing Xiaoqi looked at the dense sunspots on the picture with a gloomy face, and was really taken aback in his heart!

Unexpectedly, after the rebellion of King Huai, coupled with his deliberate suppression over the years, the power of the Yan clan is still not to be underestimated!
