Chapter 320: The undercurrent of the capital
Not to mention the reaction of those nobles outside when they received the news, Yang Huaiyu, who had just rushed back from Tokyo City, had just returned to his mansion, and he received the news before he drank two sips of hot tea, and the king of Zhennan, who received the news, dropped his favorite vase on the spot, and one of his own concubines also slapped him.
After King Zhennan was furious, he sat down and thought about it, and felt a strangeness in it.
Although in the eyes of some people, Zhou Hao is unlucky, but in the eyes of people like Zhennan Wang, who have been guarding Nanjing Road for nearly ten years, Zhou Hao has won His Majesty's appreciation this time.
Because in the eyes of outsiders, Nanjing Road can be said to be chaotic, and bandits there are also very rampant. And Nanjing Road is adjacent to two countries, which is not important, the most important thing is that Nanjing Road is still next to the grassland, and the barbarians on the grassland are very ferocious. Every winter, they will enter the territory of the Great Zhou and plunder.
It can be said that Nanjing Road is the largest war-torn place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, where you may die if you are not careful. That's right, Nanjing Road is dangerous, but it is also where one-third of the army of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is gathered, because there is a perennial war, and if there are fewer troops, it will be impossible to resist.
And whoever can guard Nanjing Road can be in charge of the millions of troops in Nanjing Road, and this is only military, because if you want to govern in Nanjing Road, you must need an army, so guarding Nanjing Road is not only in charge of the millions of troops there, but also has jurisdiction over the civil affairs there.
In fact, to put it bluntly, guarding Nanjing Road is the highest military and political chief of the entire Nanjing Road.
And now that the king of Zhennan has received that he wants to transfer himself back to the capital, and let Zhou Hao, a young man who is less than twenty years old, come to guard Nanjing Road, it is undoubtedly very important to this person. And it is very likely that his actions in the past few years have attracted His Majesty's dissatisfaction and wants to remove himself.
Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of King Zhennan, Your Majesty, don't you value that kid, since this is the case, the king will let him disappear in this world, I don't think you can remove me.
Thinking of this, King Zhennan said lightly: "Someone is coming." ”
Immediately after that, a man in black appeared in front of King Zhennan.
King Zhennan looked at the man in black and said fiercely: "You go and tell them that the plan will be executed now, I can't wait." I want him to know that even if His Majesty appreciates him, then he has to have a life to enjoy. ”
The man in black didn't say a word, just nodded, and then jumped away.
What Yang Huaiyu didn't know was that when he was about to snipe Zhou Hao, someone was now starting to plan arrangements for him.
Is this person our Great Zhou Emperor His Majesty, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on a chair behind the imperial study and looked at a middle-aged man in cyan light armor standing below.
"Have you found out all the people who have been in contact with King Zhennan over the years?" Yan Haoran asked majestically as he sat on it.
"Please take a look, Your Majesty, these people on this are the list of officials that King Zhennan has attracted over the years. The middle-aged man in cyan light armor hurriedly took out a roster from his arms and presented it to Yan Haoran.
Yan Haoran slowly looked at the roster in his hand, and finally put down the roster, closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
And the middle-aged man didn't dare to speak, he knew that whenever His Majesty was like this, he was thinking, and it was best not to disturb at this time.
After a long time, Yan Haoran said slowly: "I didn't expect that so many people would fall to the King of Zhennan, and more than half of them had reached the sixth layer. Do you know what this means? This means that as long as he wants to, he can immediately leave my Da Zhou, what does this mean to live in the imperial court? This is a slap in the face. Yan Haoran said and finally roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger and take care of the dragon's body. Weichen thinks that there is a reason why those officials of Nanjing Province fell to the king of Zhennan, that is because there is chaos there, and those court officials are likely to lose their lives if they do not fall to the king of Zhennan, and if His Majesty can ignore the past suspicions, those officials will definitely serve the court again. The middle-aged man at the bottom of the line pondered every word.
After a long time, Yan Haoran calmed down the anger in his heart before he said slowly: "I also know these things, after all, where are the two countries and barbarians next to each other. What really makes me angry is that most of the officials at the top six levels are still officials who were released from the capital before. On the contrary, few of those local officials were able to fall to the king of Zhennan. Hmph! You can't go on like this, after you go down, you will immediately arrange to monitor all the officials who have an affair with the king of Zhennan, and at the same time start to monitor the king of Zhennan who has just returned to Beijing, and you will send people to secretly protect the king of benevolence, Zhou Hao. You remember to me, if Nioh Zhou Hao has any loss, then you will come to see me. ”
"Yes!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man at the bottom was guessing why Zhou Hao was able to win His Majesty's favor so much. Now it is obvious that His Majesty values Zhou Hao very much, and the matter of King Zhennan is just a flashpoint.
And the middle-aged man in cyan light armor quickly began to arrange after leaving the palace, and as the middle-aged man in cyan light armor began to arrange in an orderly manner, one by one the shadows in the dark quickly began to rush to the Nanjing Road of the Imperial Dynasty.
And in the surroundings of the Zhennan Wangfu in the capital, there were also figures in the dark, secretly monitoring the Zhennan King.
And as the last order of the middle-aged man in cyan light armor was given.
When he just came out of the prison and returned to the Renwang Mansion arranged for him by Yan Haoran, there were many people outside the mansion who were secretly protecting this mansion.
Of course, all this happened without Zhou Hao knowing, and Zhou Hao, who returned to the Renwang Mansion, felt that all this was so unreal, Zhou Hao really didn't know what Yan Haoran was going to do?
Not to mention that he was inexplicably named a prince, Zhou Hao originally thought that he had angered Yan Haoran this time and was afraid that he would have to suffer a lot, but he didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end, and it would be over in the end.
Zhou Hao was puzzled when he saw all this. But Zhou Hao's guy now thinks that it's not like that anyway, since Yan Haoran wants to release his feelings, it just so happens that he doesn't want to stay in this capital.
And at this time, the subordinates in King Zhou Haoren's mansion came to report, saying that His Majesty had a will.
When Zhou Hao came to the reception hall of the palace, he saw a beardless person, and as soon as Zhou Hao saw this person, he knew that this was a professional in the palace.
I only heard the man say: "Your Majesty asked the miscellaneous family to tell His Royal Highness Nioh that he will enter the palace tomorrow to participate in the banquet of the top 12 in the martial arts conference." ”
Zhou Hao said yes, and after knowing it, the eunuch left.
And time flies.
Early the next morning, Zhou Hao was neatly dressed under the service of the maid, wearing a noble orange dragon robe, but there was only one dragon on it and it was four claws, while the emperor's dragon robe was four dragons and five claws, representing that the emperor had the four seas.
In the end, Zhou Hao has to wear a golden crown, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. After Zhou Hao put on his clothes, the whole person looked extremely noble.
After getting dressed neatly, Zhou Hao got into a carriage with six horses and entered the palace.
Today belongs to the dynasty, and it also belongs to the state banquet, and the etiquette specifications are unprecedented, so all the people who participate in this banquet must wear formal attire, even the Great Zhou Tianzi Yan Haoran is not excluded.
Zhou Hao came to the main hall after passing through the heavy palace, and stood in his position under the arrangement of the eunuch, because Zhou Hao belonged to the prince, and he was also the prince who was about to go to Nanjing Road to guard, so Zhou Hao was standing in the column of military ministers.
And just when Zhou Hao just entered the palace, King Zhennan, who had returned to the capital, also received a request to come to participate in the banquet.
Before leaving, King Zhennan was telling a man in black who was next to him: "After the banquet is over, snipe and kill King Nioh Zhou Hao on the way, this operation must only succeed and not fail."
Regardless of whether you succeed or fail in your action, you will immediately flee to Nanking Dao, and as for your family, you will go back and tell them that their wives and children, old and young, will send them to live in Zhongjing Dao, where I will prepare enough money for their lives.
Let them not have to worry about the future, rest assured to complete the task, only after completing the task, I will have another reward, go!"
The man in black didn't speak, just glanced at Yang Huaiyu gratefully, then jumped and disappeared.
After the man in black left, King Zhennan also got into the carriage and entered the palace under the preparation of his subordinates, but King Zhennan's carriage only had five horses, and there was no treatment of Zhou Hao's six-horse carriage, just because Zhou Hao was the king of one word, and King Zhennan belonged to the king of two words, they were not of the same rank.
What Yang Huaiyu didn't know was that this black-clothed person had just left the Zhennan Palace, and he was secretly knocked unconscious by a person and taken to the direction of the palace.
And when Yang Huaiyu arrived at the palace in a carriage, the man in black who was knocked out was already in the palace.
At this time, Yan Haoran was sitting in the imperial study looking at something, and he was not in a hurry at all for the great court meeting that was about to start.
At this time, the middle-aged man in cyan light armor appeared in the imperial study again.
The middle-aged man in the cyan light armor lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, after our interrogation, the man in black has been recruited, and the king of Zhennan has arranged to snipe the king of benevolence Zhou Hao on the way at the end of the banquet. ”
After hearing this, Yan Haoran slowly closed the book, and then said lightly: "Since this is the case, then you have to put a long line to catch a big fish, you go and release that person, and tell him to truthfully inform him according to the words of King Zhennan, and you tell him that as long as this time is done, I can consider sparing his family's life, otherwise the Nine Clans will be punished." ”
"Yes! The man said.
"Well, let's go, I'm still relieved that you do something. Yan Haoran said lightly.
And the person at the bottom heard Yan Haoran say this, it was like taking a stimulant, and he couldn't help himself with excitement.
