Zhao Zongdan was suspicious in his heart, there was no mention of himself in the holy decree, and Yan Shu said that there was a holy decree for himself, but now there was nothing.

Seeing that Tang Jie received the order to thank him, Zhao Zongdan and the officials also got up one after another, but they heard Yan Shu shouting: "The Holy Lord's edict, Zhao Zongdan listens to the edict." ”

As soon as Zhao Zongdan got up, he hurriedly knelt on the ground again, Tang Jie and the officials also hurriedly knelt down, Yan Shu said loudly: "Zongdan is young and intelligent, he reads the West Hall with me, and his knowledge and insights are quite impressive. I have heard that the name of Zongdan is spread all over the world, and I have a good relationship with local officials, and I have never violated the ancestral teachings and interfered in local government affairs, and I am very happy! Today, I heard that Taizu Xian drove to Ying Tianfu, although it was a case of resignation, it was an auspicious omen, King Teng lived in Ying Tianfu, Taizu appeared in Ying Tianfu, this is not a coincidence, I thought it was King Teng Xianda, the ancestors were pleased, so they came to show comfort. ”

Although the emperor's words were praised, Zhao Zongdan listened to them in his ears, saying that the grandpa was coming because he was in Yingtianfu, wouldn't it be an insinuation; Isn't saying that he has a good relationship with local officials in disguised form of accusing himself of colluding with Tang Jie and others? Every word of the emperor seemed to poke his nerves with steel needles, making Zhao Zongdan, who was kneeling on the ground, full of thorns and his heart beating.

"In view of King Teng's ability to cultivate his heart and be virtuous, I should give him a commendation, and give him the title of 'Virtuous King', with a reward of 200,000 yuan and 500 horses of cloth to show my heart;

Yan Shu finished conveying the message in one breath, a smile changed on his face, he took out a roll of white silk from his arms, handed it to Zhao Zongdan and said: "Thank you, prince, this is a plaque given by the emperor, go back and frame it and hang it, then the reward will be collected in the Yingtian Mansion Treasury." ”

Zhao Zongdan shouted long live with a trembling voice, took the unusually solid white silk, and was about to open it to see, Yan Shu stretched out his hand to stop it: "Go back to the house and take a closer look, the prince please go back, the old man will hand over government affairs with the Tang Governor's Mansion, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of the prince, it's rude." ”

Zhao Zongdan was helpless, politely said a few words, and gave Tang Jie a chance to explain a few words, but when he saw that Tang Jie was depressed, he didn't look at his face at all, so he had to brush his sleeves.

Yan Shu pulled Tang Jie to hand over the government affairs without mentioning it, Zhao Zongdan angrily, shocked and angry out of the palace and got into the car, Qin Fei followed closely into the car, the two looked at each other in panic, speechless for a while.

"Qin Fei, what do you think about this." Zhao Zongdan broke the silence.

"Lord Wang, with all due respect, I'm afraid things are not good."

“…… Tell me about ......"

"Governor Tang's ...... I'm afraid that he won't be able to come back, he knows too many things, and he will be transferred to the capital this time, and it will be difficult to protect it...... It's hard to guarantee that nothing will go wrong, and at that time, you will be passive. ”

"This king is also having a headache about this matter, and I handed him a look with a look, and he looked like he was lost and depressed, and I was also very worried."

"Lord, you can't help but prepare early, according to the small one, the emperor is afraid that he has noticed something, and transferring out of the Tang Governor's Mansion is to cut off your right-hand man, although the holy decree and the oracle are high-sounding, according to the villain's ears, every sentence is a rhetoric."

"I don't know what kind of plaque I gave to the king of birds, or black letters written on white silk cloth, how unfortunate it is to hang on the door of the house, and the old thing is too deceitful." King Teng angrily threw the silk cloth in his hand onto the floor of the carriage.

The tightly wrapped silk cloth rolled along the floor, scattered, and seemed a little too long, Teng Wang picked it up suspiciously, and slowly unfolded it, only to find that the proportion of this plaque was a little unreasonable, the white silk that was as long as a zhang Xu, only the middle two feet square was written with the words Xianwangfu, and the blank space on both sides seemed to be surprisingly long.

"This ...... How so? Qin Fei also felt weird, it was difficult to figure out how to give the plaque inscription with white silk instead of paper, but now he actually took such a long white silk inscription, which is really a bit confusing; Everything that leaves the palace needs to be inspected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and such a long silk cloth will definitely be twisted from both sides in the right proportion, how can it be so sloppy.

Zhao Zongdan's chest was like being hit by a big stone hammer, and he suddenly came to his senses, his face turned iron-blue, and his body was shaky.

Qin Fei noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly supported Zhao Zongdan's body and said, "Lord, Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Zongdan forcibly held back a salty thing that surged up his throat, and said slowly: "This is the second white silk, the emperor is hinting at this king, self-...... Cut out. ”

Qin Fei almost fell headlong, looking at the white silk scattered all over the place, and then looking at Zhao Zongdan's pale face, although he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that it was probably true.

"No wonder the old thief Yan Shu asked me to take it back to the house to take a closer look, just to let me figure out what the emperor meant, Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, I didn't expect it...... You are usually benevolent and kind, but you are like a snake and scorpion, and you don't even think about the royal blood, and you are so ruthless. ”

Zhao Zongdan muttered and cursed, not thinking that he was also planning to take the life of this imperial uncle, and blamed himself for a while, regretted it for a while, and became angry for a while.

Qin Fei calmly asked cautiously, "Lord Wang, what should I do now?" ”

Zhao Zongdan's face was blue and red, and he suddenly laughed wildly, stretched out his hand to pull the white silk in a mess, gritted his teeth and said: "If you want my Zhao Zongdan's life, I'm afraid it's not so easy, I am the blood of Taizong, and my life can only be taken away by heaven, how can he take it." ”

Qin Fei said: "In this case, the small one immediately summoned the people of the four cities and the guards of the palace to rush into the yamen, first kill that Yan Shu into meat sauce, and then mobilize people and horses from all over the country to gather in Yingtian, the prince ascended to the heights and shouted, and the responders will definitely gather, and this will be done." ”

Zhao Zongdan's eyes flickered, as if he was a hungry wolf who chose to devour people, the breath in his nostrils was also thick, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

Qin Fei eagerly waited for that moment to come, he had followed Zhao Zongdan for so many years, and he had never seen Zhao Zongdan is like this, it seemed that the dream day was coming, he Qin Fei, as the first henchman of King Teng, would leap on the horse and cross the sword, gallop across the field, and create a new chapter in his rich and noble life.

However, the blood in Zhao Zongdan's eyes and face gradually dissipated, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he finally let out a sigh and said, "It's not time yet." ”

"But Lord Wang, the emperor wants your life, how can you wait?"

"He played dumb riddles with me, so I pretended to be confused and pretended not to know, at this moment, the forbidden army of Li Gang, a dog thief, in the city, both of whom had nearly 5,000 men and horses, all entered the city to guard, and Tang Jie's 2,000 Xiang troops could not be controlled at the moment, and the sons and daughters in my city plus the palace guards were only more than 700 people, how could they resist? It is better to stabilize them first, and after Li Gang transfers the forbidden army out of the city and returns to the camp, we will slowly gather the guards on the cottages and food towns in various places into the city, and at the same time contact a few adults in the box soldiers, so that the strength can reach 6,000, no matter who will take over the post of Fu Yin, if he cooperates with me, he will stay, otherwise he will be killed, and occupy Yingtian City, and there will be a basis for gaining a foothold. ”

"The prince is really thoughtful, the little one is too confused, and he has forgotten that there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me now."

"It will always be a loss to act recklessly, and it will take some time for us to prepare, and there is still a lot of shortage of food, armor and weapons, so we must hurry up our purchases; Before that, I can't let the emperor catch my direct evidence, this Tang prefect is afraid that he will go to Beijing to take up his post today, he is a hidden danger, you have to do this matter, take people on the way so that he will never be able to open his mouth, and send people to each cottage to order, break it into pieces, and assemble in Yingtianfu. ”

"Obey, lord, the little one will do it immediately!" The blood in Qin Fei's body began to burn again, and he turned around to get out of the car.

Zhao Zongdan grabbed him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, as soon as the big thing is done, you will be the first person under my dragon seat." ”

Qin Fei almost didn't cry, he lay in the carriage and shouted long live, kowtowed a few times, jumped out of the car, and hurried away.

Zhao Zongdan leaned back in the chair, with a lonely expression on his face, thoughtful.
