It's really a good spirit that is not bad, Xu Zizhen guessed right, Zhao Huan really came to find him to enter Beijing, but this messenger who came made Xu Zizhen expect that it was actually Zhao Zhen, the king of letters who he hadn't seen for a while.

As soon as Zhao Zhen entered the door, he smiled and said, "Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you?" ”

Xu Zizhen stepped forward with surprise and joy: "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Zhen pretended to be unhappy and said: "The younger brother calls you the eldest brother, but the eldest brother calls me His Royal Highness, don't you want to make this friend with me?" ”

The dignified prince lowered his body to make friends with himself, and Xu Zizhen has always had a good impression of Zhao Zhen, this young prince has no frame at all, not to mention knowledge, and his temperament is also very straightforward, when he first arrived at Yingtian Academy, he was overshadowed by Qin Songyin, thanks to his help, he was spared, and Xu Zizhen has always kept this in mind.

Xu Zizhen was not a hypocritical person, and laughed: "Nonsense, I made a decision with your friend, but I made a mistake for a while, and I will be my brother's self-punishment for three cups." ”

Zhao Zhen laughed dryly: "I'm afraid this wine has to be sent first, the saint said to let you enter Beijing immediately, and I will wait for you tonight." ”

Xu Zizhen suddenly became furious: "Damn, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my whole family is already waiting for a reunion dinner, so let me rush to Bianjing?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you think I want to be this wicked person?" That's right, you'd better pack up and follow me on the road. ”

Xu Zizhen was silent, the emperor spoke goldenly, no matter how much he despised Zhao Huan, he didn't dare to blatantly resist the decree, so he had to go back to the hall depressedly, and explained to everyone, the hall was quiet, they were different from Xu Zizhen, they didn't dare to disobey the imperial decree in the slightest, but a good reunion dinner without Xu Zizhen, no one felt comfortable.

Before the time passes, the sky will get dark at any time, and it will take a few hours from Ying Tianfu's fast horse gallop to Bianjing, and it is estimated that it should be midnight when I see Zhao Huan.

Xu Zizhen was very depressed, last year was the first Mid-Autumn Festival after he came here, but he spent it running, he thought he could pass this year, but he was still running, what the is ...... When he turned around, he saw that Zhao Huan had to knock him a sum of money to relieve his anger.

Wen Xian frowned slightly on the side and pondered, then came to Xu Zizhen's side and whispered a few words to him, Xu Zizhen was still depressed, but when he listened to it, his expression suddenly became relaxed, even happy, and after Wen Xian finished speaking, he couldn't help but hug her and kiss her fiercely, and then laughed and went out.

The three horses galloped out of Yingtianfu and went to Bianjing along the official road, Xu Zizhen only brought Su San, which was requested by Su San himself, because the prefect and guard of Zhending Mansion were Liang Shicheng's lackeys, and when the Jin soldiers killed, they didn't even resist and abandoned the city and fled, Su San's two brothers left her forever at that time, so in her opinion, this account should naturally be counted on Liang Shicheng's head.

……

Zhao Zhen's horse is a first-class royal horse, Xu Zizhen's little cabbage is not bad, even Su San rode a three-river horse personally selected by Ohno, a round of silver plate-like full moon finally hung in the sky, and the three horses galloped on the official road like a gallop, heading towards Bianjing.

Xu Zizhen finally couldn't help but complain, he specially missed lunch for today's reunion dinner, and now he is already so hungry that his eyes are full of gold stars, and his stomach has been rumbling for a long time.

"Damn, I have to pull off a few locks of Yongye's beard when I go back, so I rush to tell the saint, so that Lao Tzu can't even eat the reunion dinner, and now he is hungry like a dog."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Big brother, you are wrong to blame King Kaiping, when the saint knew about this, his old man had not returned to Beijing, how could he have anything to do?" ”

Xu Zizhen was stunned: "It's not him?" So how did the Holy One know? ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at him strangely: "Big brother, do you think that the Holy Lord lives in the palace and only knows how to watch the performance and manage the government every day?" ”

"Uh...... That's right, too. Xu Zizhen himself laughed, no matter how much Zhao Huan is an emperor, it is not strange to have his own source of information, he thought about it and asked, "By the way, brother, what does the saint think?" Can you get some wind first? ”

Zhao Zhen said: "I don't know the specific little brother, but the saint has been dissatisfied with the Liang thief for a long time, and this guy is proud of the emperor's favor, so he doesn't take the saint in his eyes." ”

He didn't say anything more when he said this, Xu Zizhen also understood what he meant, Zhao Huan is an emperor anyway, and he is not looking for death if he is arrogant and domineering? It's just that I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic, and if you want to win Liang Shicheng, you still have to sum it up.

Xu Zizhen pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "What is the name of the commander of the guards in the palace, Ma Bujun, if you talk about factions, do you know?" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Big brother, what do you mean by asking?" Could it be ...... Are you worried that something will happen to the old thief in Beijing? ”

Xu Zizhen said: "Of course, no matter what, it's good to take precautions first." ”

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment and said: "The eldest brother is indeed reasonable, there are many old thieves, and you must act carefully, this command makes me know that this person's surname is Shi, his name is Xuehe, this person is originally from southern Fujian, and it is said that he is the same township as the Liang thief." ”

"Shi Xuehe, Shi Xuehe......" Xu Zizhen read the name a few times, and said in a low voice, "After you arrive in Beijing, you will secretly inquire for me if there are any acquaintances who know him." ”

Zhao Zhenqi said: "What is the eldest brother going to do?" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled meaningfully, but did not speak, Zhao Zhen is a smart person, and immediately closed his mouth in amusement.

……

There is something Xu Zizhen miscalculated, when he arrived in Bianjing, he had already passed by Zishi, Bangzi knocked on the fourth watch, under the leadership of Zhao Zhen, Xu Zizhen finally came to the palace, and experienced many checks, seeing that the sky was about to dawn.

This is the first time Xu Zizhen has entered the palace, speaking of which he has already been to the palace of Western Xia Tubo, but the first time he has seen it in the Great Song Dynasty, it is a pity that the sky is not yet bright and he cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture, but even so, this huge building still brought a lot of shock to Xu Zizhen.

The palace was still majestic in the dark, and the night had outlined it in a majestic silhouette that made those who were in it involuntarily feel awe.

"This is the Imperial Palace? Is it a home of pity? Xu Zizhen's feet slowed down, and his mind didn't know where to go.

"Brother Xu?" Zhao Zhen's urging voice came from his ears, Xu Zizhen came back to his senses, took a breath of cold air, and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Huan didn't know if he hadn't slept or had already gotten up, when Xu Zizhen saw him, he was looking at the books in the study, and the eunuch on duty at the door came in to report that Xu Zizhen was coming, and he, the king of a country, stood up in surprise.

"Brother Xian, you ...... You're finally here! ”
