Chapter 666: Friend or Foe
Empress Cai muttered, "Zhuo Shen......"
She rubbed her brow even more with a headache.
After hearing about the poisoning and murder of refugees, the eldest sister's life in the Zhuo family gradually became delicate, and even her husband began to pick bones in the eggs every once in a while, and the relationship between husband and wife for decades became worse and worse.
She knew that the Zhuo family resented the eldest sister for instigating the second lady Zhuo to deal with the King of Chu, implicating Zhuo Shen's son and still unable to enter the Longwu Army.
Although the Zhuo family still helps the Cai family do things, it feels different from the past.
Whether Zhuo Shen will take this opportunity to surrender to the proud King of Chu is something she can't be sure.
However, in the current situation, she had to give it a try.
She is the queen, the prince is still the prince, as long as she is in this position one day, she will have the opportunity to control the life and death of the whole world!
"No matter what, you can't call Pu Yangxuan so proud anymore." Queen Cai raised her hand and stroked the phoenix hairpin on her bun, since the accident of the prince, she wears this hairpin every day, even if the emperor has not come to see her, she has not taken it off, "I will desperately protect the prince and protect the glory of the Cai family!" ”
Once again, she was determined to kill, and the flames of hatred burned in her eyes.
"The prince's side, still can't find any news?" She asked faintly.
The female official said helplessly: "At least three meals a day are delivered on time, and there is also the imperial doctor to take care of it, and he will not treat His Royal Highness the prince harshly in terms of food and clothing, and I think the emperor also cares about the relationship between father and son." The crown prince is the only concubine of the emperor, so he is distressed. ”
When Empress Cai heard this, she felt a little comforted, "It's been a few days, why hasn't there been a disposition......
The female official's eyes rolled, and she thought of something, and a happy color appeared on her face, "Queen Mother, the emperor has known that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has gone down to exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty...... Do you plan to take advantage of the fact that people are talking about this matter and stop paying too much attention to the prince, and then take advantage of this time to give His Royal Highness the prince a lighter punishment, and outsiders will not care. ”
Empress Cai listened and let out a long sigh, "I hope so." ”
At the end of the day, people always hope that things don't turn out to be the worst, so as long as there is a little bit of hope, they wonder if it will be true.
Empress Cai touched Feng Hai again and instructed the female official: "Go and deliver the news, at this time, any wind and grass outside must be kept an eye on." ”
The female official hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the slave and maid will be done." ”
On the other side, Puyang Xuan and Zhuo Shen came to the Longwu Army Yamen located in the north of the palace, as soon as the two entered the door and sat down, the little official had not yet brought the tea, Zhuo Shen spoke straight to the point-
"How does His Royal Highness the King of Chu plan to investigate the remnants of the former dynasty lurking in Gyeonggi?"
Pu Yangxuan said: "General Zhuo has led the Longwu Army for many years and is quite experienced, I don't know if you can give me some advice?" ”
Zhuo Shen glanced at Pu Yangxuan, and there was a sense of scrutiny in his eyes, "But the lower officials have never exterminated or captured the remnants of the previous dynasty, so the most experienced King of Chu is still needed to point down and guide the lower officials." ”
Pu Yangxuan asked bluntly: "What does General Zhuo mean, if you want to be the only one?" ”
Zhuo Shen nodded seriously, "Naturally, His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”
There was no one in the house to testify, and Pu Yangxuan would not easily believe Zhuo Shen's words, but the matter of exterminating the remnants of the previous dynasty was crucial, not only the safety of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also his own future.
This matter was handed over to him, and it was another test.
Pu Yangxuan said: "In the morning, there was a wave of former dynasty remnants who took the opportunity to go out of the city, and someone was already following them, so let's wait for them to send back the news." ”
"Yes." Zhuo Shen nodded and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a deep contact with the remnants of the previous dynasty, can you talk to the lower officials in detail?" There is a way to know oneself and know one's opponent, in order to win a hundred battles, the lower officials hope to know more about the remnants of the previous dynasty, so as to assist His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”
Pu Yangxuan took a deep look at Zhuo Shen, he knew too much and it was very easy to grab the credit.
Zhuo Shen saw that his eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, and asked calmly, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what are you looking at?" ”
Pu Yangxuan said: "Xu is a little tired these days. ”
"It's the lower officials who are not thoughtful." Zhuo Shen arched his hand, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been lurking in the lair of the remnants of the previous dynasty for so long, physically and mentally exhausted, he hasn't had a good rest, and he was assassinated again in the morning, His Royal Highness is really hard." ”
Pu Yangxuan said: "Today, please ask General Zhuo to take me to meet the people of the Long Wu Army." ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please." Zhuo Shen didn't have any objections, took him around the yamen, and went to the school to watch the soldiers drill, "I heard that His Royal Highness is strong in martial arts, can you give me some advice?" ”
Pu Yangxuan looked at it for a while, pointed out one or two places at random, and didn't care about it anymore.
Even if his father asked him to lead the Longwu Army to exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty, it didn't mean that he could manage too much.
Zhuo Shen asked, "Is that all, Your Highness?" ”
"Long Wujun is very powerful under the training of General Zhuo, and I really don't have anything more to help."
"Your Highness is too modest."
The two wandered around for a while, and Pu Yangxuan returned to the house and gave an order, instructing Zhuo Shen to copy several copies and distribute them to various prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi, and then return to Jingxuan first.
Xue Jinyi had already received the news and knew what was happening in the hall.
She smiled and helped Pu Yangxuan take off his official robe and change into his daily clothes.
The two sat under the big tree in the yard for lunch, Xue Jinyi made the noodles with her own hands, and now they have their own business and make endless money, so the meat and vegetables covered with noodles are extraordinarily rich, as if a piece of purple and red blooms on the snow, which is naturally even more appetizing in terms of color and flavor.
Originally, I wanted to chat while eating, but the noodles were so delicious, the two of them swept away the noodles by dividing them by two, and leaned on the recliner with great satisfaction, blowing a small breeze and drinking tea.
Xue Jinyi said: "Based on the previous experience, you asked General Zhuo to send orders to various places, asking them to step up patrols of the territory and ask the local elders if there are any strange legends...... In this way, the remnants of the previous dynasty will have nowhere to hide. This time, aren't you going to send someone to lurk again? ”
"After this incident, they will definitely manage everyone more strictly, and it will be difficult to get in again." Pu Yangxuan shook his head, "There's no need to try again, let people die." ”
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi understood.
Pu Yangxuan held her hand, "Does Ah Jin want to walk around Gyeonggi with me?" ”
"Okay." Xue Jinyi readily agreed, she hasn't had a chance to take a good look at the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi, and Jingxuan's business needs to be bigger, and the first part is to expand the scope in Gyeonggi.
And it's not just business, Jing Xuan's existence has more uses.
