"Mr. Shi Lang, you should know that I will die forever. If Jin Qing had not sacrificed his life to protect him, I would have been unable to enter Mount Chu. I would have been intercepted by the Huai Palace in Shouzhou. Besides, Jin Qing followed Xu Hou to Taiyuan,

It is also a friendship that sacrifices life. Hu Hou Xu is really stingy and never see him?"

Zhao Fan grabbed Zheng Jinqing's arm and barely stood up, staring at Shi Zhen almost begging and asked.

Shi Zhen glanced at Zheng Jinqing and secretly felt that it was a pity that he was born in the Zheng family.

Thinking about the fact that when Zheng Huaizhong rushed to Taiyuan thousands of miles, he held tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but only sent 500 cavalry to accompany him. At that time, he was the commander of Zheng Jinqing.

Zheng Jinqing was a powerful general with several Qin Feng Road. He was very brave in fighting along Taiyuan and made outstanding achievements.

After returning to the south, although Zheng Jinqing was rewarded, because he advocated actively fighting against the Chihu people, or perhaps because he had a bad relationship with Zheng Huaizhong's eldest son Zheng Cong, he was not valued in Heluo, Nanyang, and Huainan East Road.

He was able to become the core general who led the elite Shenwu Army; this time he became a survivor of Zhao Fan's travel, which was really a waste of a good general.

Of course, Zheng Jinqing is a son of the Zheng family, and it is not Chu Shan’s turn to stand up for him. Shi Zhen just calmly rejected Shi Zhen’s request to see Xu Huai and said:

"Your Majesty is critically ill and has ulterior motives. As the commander of a town, Xu Hou was given a heavy responsibility. It is a taboo to make a private minister - if he had not known that Mr. Zhao's trip was difficult, I should not have seen Mr. Zhao. Another thing,

Since hearing the news that Your Majesty is critically ill, Mr. Xu is in a deep mood. He has been forgetting to eat and sleep for several days, burning incense and sitting quietly in his study, praying for His Majesty. We have not seen Mr. Xu. Please forgive me!"

"What's the matter written in the secret edict? Can Shi Gong reveal it?" Zhao Fan asked unwillingly.

"Does Zhao think Shi is a secret edict? Mr. Zhao is joking..." Shi Zhen laughed and said, "Mr. Zhao has suffered a lot of hard work in this trip. Please go to the post house for a while.

.Your Majesty is critically ill, and Shi really is inconvenient to hold a banquet for Mr. Zhao. Forgive me, please forgive me."

Although Shi Zhen also arranged a residence for Zhao Fan and Zheng Jinqing in Wuyang City, Zhao Fan knew in his heart that if they really wanted to stay in the city, they would not only be closely monitored by Shi Zhen, but also to be more restricted in their actions.

.

Therefore, after leaving Shi Zhen's house, Zhao Fan and Zheng Jinqing went out of Wuyang City directly.

After they learned that Emperor Jianji was critical of his illness and secret edict, they set out from Chuzhou, where the Huainan East Road and the Huainong Daying Headquarters were located; because they had to pass through the jurisdiction of the Huainan Prince's Mansion Army, more than a hundred guards were scattered.

Okay, you will not get together until you reach Xinyang.

Chushan did not prohibit more than a hundred guards from entering the country, and even made a special station in the south of Wuyang City for them to settle in. Chushan of course also sent people to monitor and ordered them not to leave Chushan's vision at will, otherwise they would think that

This is not a friendly act.

There is not only Zhao Fan in Chuzhou. Two important figures, Zheng Jinqing, came to Wuyang. Someone just didn't come forward and waited for news at the Wuyang City South Post Station. Seeing Zhao Fan and Zheng Jinqing came back, he couldn't wait to welcome them into the room and asked: "

When Mr. Zhao saw Marquis Jingsheng, what did the secret edict write? What did Marquis Jingsheng say?"

Zhao Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "This Chushan Fox is too slippery. I beg you all the time, and you will never see him. Jin Qing came here this time and was blocked by Shi Zhen's old man.

Outside the mansion! How could it be possible to know what was written in the Secret Examination?”

"What do they mean?" someone asked.

"It's just waiting for the price, what else can it mean?" Zhao Fan sighed, "Your Majesty must be really not good. Now the secret edict is in the hands of Marquis Jingsheng. Whoever gives the best benefits will go to, whoever wants to go to

What can you do to him?"

"Xu Huai may not be that unbearable..." Zheng Jinqing said.

As a child of the Zheng family, Zheng Jinqing has no better choice than standing with the Zheng family.

Especially this time, if we can join forces with Chushan to support the young emperor, the Zheng family's children, including him, will benefit a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have made great achievements.

However, when it comes to his judgment on Xu Huai, Zheng Jinqing had a different view, thinking that Zhao Fan and others were a little bit powerful.

"Who can escape the three words "fame", "power", and "profit" in this world? Maybe Xu Huai had to work harder against the Chihu people, but he was seeking fame before, but he did not seek power at this time. Look,

Seeing that the Marquis of Jingsheng has managed Chushan like an iron bucket in recent years, who can get in the hands? Isn’t it because he is power-hungry?" Zhao Fan said disdainfully at Zheng Jinqing’s intention to excuse Xu Huai.

"..." Speaking of verbal skills, Zheng Jinqing was no match for Zhao Fan at all, and said, "Maybe that's the case..."

Seeing that Zheng Jinqing was not completely convinced, Zhao Fan continued, "If Your Majesty is willing to succeed to the throne, is it necessary to leave any secret edict? Besides this, what else does Your Majesty have to leave a secret edict?"

After the birth of the prince, it can be seen from the incidents of the Empress of the Envoy and the obstruction of the Jinghu South Road Commander, which is completely obvious that the scholars are very cautious about the Zheng family and are basically standing on the side of King Huai, not to mention King Huai still

There is the rightful title of the Crown Brother.

The Great Yue Dynasty was established, Emperor Taizu died, and Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, which was a precedent for brothers to succeed.

There is such a tradition, with the legitimate title of the Crown Prince and the support of the scholars. At the same time, the Huai Prince's Mansion also has 100,000 elite soldiers, including ministers such as Ge Boyi, Wang Boqian, and Yang Maoyan, as well as famous generals like Han Shiliang as the direct line.

.

Anyone can see that if Emperor Jianji hopes that King Huai will succeed the throne after his death, there is no need to leave any secret decree.

If you leave a secret edict, you will definitely not want King Huai to succeed to the throne.

After Emperor Jianji died, those who were able to inherit the throne were not only King Huai, but also the prince born to Concubine Zheng.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and it is human nature that Emperor Jianji hopes that the throne will be left to his own bloodline.

What's more, when Emperor Jianji was King Jing, his relationship with King Huai was absolutely not harmonious. After the birth of the prince, Emperor Jianji had always wanted to make Zheng a queen, but was just blocked by his ministers.

"If Your Majesty wants to establish a prince, why should you give it to Chushan and not to Chuzhou?" Zheng Jinqing was dissatisfied in his heart and couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty wants to establish a prince, is it useful to give the prince's secret edict? Is it still worried that Huaidong will oppose supporting the young emperor?"

Zhao Fan said to Zheng Jinqing a little terrible.

"Huaidong (Chuzhou) cannot support the scholars and ministers, and holding secret decrees is useless. It may even be framed by the Huaiwang Mansion as a horse. Those who can truly join forces with Huaidong (Chuzhou) to suppress the Huaiwang Mansion and scholars, only

There is Chushan. When Your Majesty’s life is in danger, he actually sees this very clearly, so he hastily wrote a secret edict to Chushan! What a pity, it’s hateful. Your Majesty believed this guy wrongly, but he didn’t expect

If the secret edict falls into this guy's hands, it will become a bargaining chip for this guy to wait for the price!"

"What should we do?" someone asked, "If you can't see Jingsheng Hou, you can't waste your time here..."

"Since Chu Shan wants to wait for a price, it is impossible not to see us negotiate the price code,"

Zhao Fan pondered for a while and said with some anxiety,

"Maybe he is waiting for the people from Huai Palace to come, and he doesn't want to give the impression that he has already negotiated with us before the people from Huai Palace. This should be the real plan and intention of Chu Shanhu, who is calculating. We are now

We must arrange for people to return to Chuzhou to report on the matter of the Duke of the State. It is best to ask the Duke of the State to send all the conditions that can be agreed upon in hand. We cannot sit and watch Chushan negotiate with the Huai Palace to tear up the secret edict-

If you really want to delay that step, it will be too late and Chuzhou will be desperate!"

At this time, someone came in and handed a letter to Zhao Fanzuoshou and others.

Zhao Fan looked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

The man handed the secret letter to Zhao Fan and said, "Just a thousand elite cavalry just entered Wuyang City from the North City. I also heard the news this morning that Marquis Jingsheng was about to travel far..."

In addition to a small number of guards, the main force of the Selected Front Army is not stationed in Wuyang, but is stationed in Xiangcheng and Liangxian to prepare for the enemy.

If Xu Huai walked around the Chu Mountain territory, two or three hundred guards would be enough to accompany him, and there was no need to mobilize thousands of elite soldiers...

"Xu Huai is going to Jianye, he is going to Jianye to negotiate the price himself," Zhao Fan shouted, "The prince is more greedy than we imagined!"

On the east end of the headquarters, Lu Xiong lived alone in a small courtyard, and two retired old soldiers served.

In addition to living next to Zhao Heng's family, Huichun Lane and the nearby streets and alleys mainly live in generals and family members. They respect Lu Xiong very much, and also know that Xu Huai, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an and others regard Lu Xiong.

Both teachers and friends, life will certainly not be quiet.

For more than half a year, Lu Xiong has served as a martial arts teacher at the General Shei of Wuyang, Wushi Zhaishe. In addition to teaching guns, sticks, and fists every day, he also pondered the practical application of guns, sticks, and knives in the military formation with his colleagues and improved them.

When I returned to my house at night, I either drank a drink alone or went to Zhao Heng to drink. Every now and then, Xu Huai was invited to the back house of the Xingyuan for a banquet.

Everything in Wuyang City is as usual, and I have no idea that such a dangerous undercurrent has been set off in Dayue.

After lunch at noon, Lu Xiong took a nap in the yard of the vegetarian hall, and the guards from the vegetarian hall came to the door:

"Teacher Lu, Jishuai is going to visit Jianye. He wants to invite Teach Lu to accompany him. I wonder if Teach Lu can get rid of himself?"

"..." Lu Xiong was full of doubts. On the one hand, he didn't know why Xu Huai suddenly wanted to go to Jianye. On the other hand, he worked in the Zhaishu after he arrived in Wuyang. He had not directly participated in the military affairs of the headquarters, nor did he know that Xu Huaiyou

Why did he need to go with him? But Lu Xiong still agreed and asked, "When will you leave?"

"Let's leave today. If there is any preparation for Teacher Lu, please give me some instructions..." said the guard.
