Chapter 284
Zhao Bing returned to the mansion and was already in the lanterns. Wang De and Yu Rugui had already led the mansion to welcome him at the door. The news of His Highness's great victory over Liu Shen this time had been spreading all over. Everyone saluted and congratulated him again. After a long time of hard work, Zhao Bing was able to escape. After washing up, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He barely slaughtered a few mouthfuls of food and lay down to sleep.
"Don't move, be careful that your highness is anxious with you!" Wang De saw that your highness was asleep and was still holding the doll, so he wanted to take it out to avoid your highness being frustrated, but Ni Liang stopped him.
"Your Highness didn't like these things in the past, so he would hold them even when he was sleeping?" Wang De quickly stopped and asked Ni Liang in confusion.
"This doll was given by Your Majesty. His Highness has always held her arms in her arms for the past two days, and no one is allowed to touch her." Ni Liang explained.
"Oh, but the great master and the queen mother gave me many good things. Why did your high prince just fall in love with this doll?" Wang De said in confusion. When His Highness came back, the queen mother and His Majesty rewarded a lot of silk, calligraphy, paintings, gold, silver and jewelry. In the past, His Highness liked these valuable things the most, but this time he didn't even read them, he directly put them in the warehouse. The doll he was holding was just ordinary things filled with silk and silk cotton. In the past, the palace maids had nothing to do to make time, and there was nothing strange about it, but why did Your Highness have a special liking for it?
"I don't know either, but Your Highness is still young, and you can't be able to like these things." Ni Liang shook his head and reminded him, "Your Highness attaches great importance to this thing very much. You must be careful and tell the people in the mansion not to touch them randomly, otherwise Your Highness will never agree."
"Well, I understand." Wang De nodded.
"Brother, don't leave, your future is dangerous..."
"Brother, wait for me..."
"Brother of the Emperor..." At this time, the voice of His Highness's dream came from the room, calling the Emperor of the Emperor, full of reluctance. Wang De and the other two lifted the curtain to see, and the corners of His Highness's eyes were covered with tears. And he was still hugging the doll in his arms. They looked at each other and sighed in unison and retreated silently...
The next morning, Zhao Bing slept a little late. Master Yuanmiao didn't come and shouted, and he got up after the sun was noon. A few days later, the Spring Festival, and the whole mansion cleaned and arranged everything according to Wang De's instructions. He couldn't help feeling a little. At this time last year, he was still floating on the sea and didn't know when he would be docked, but today he already had such a large territory and could have a peaceful New Year.
"Your Highness, Lord Ying, Lord Jiang and other officials have urgent matters to ask for a meeting!" Just as Zhao Bing was enjoying this rare pleasure, Wang De hurried over and said.
"Please go to the inner hall, I will go a little slow." Zhao Bing was a little surprised. Some big things would happen, which made the group of people hurry up. He also quickly changed his clothes and hurried to discuss matters.
"Your Highness, the sentry ship from Baisha Water Village returns. This morning, the court fleet left the mooring site and divided into two teams in the Wenchang Sea. One team entered the strait, and the other team headed towards Leizhou. I don't know what it was." Before Zhao Bing sat firmly, Ying Jieyan reported.
"What do you think?" Zhao Bing was a little surprised. He just withdrew yesterday, so why did they run away in panic?
"Your Highness, based on yesterday's situation, the officials thought that the court divided the troops to explore the way in Chameng City, and the other team went to Leizhou to wait for the opportunity." Gao Yingsong said.
"Your Highness, Ali Hague annexed Qinzhou, is there an internal strife within the court? Some of them went to surrender to the enemy?" Zhao Mengjin said.
"Your Highness, my subordinates think there is something strange about it. Yesterday, my subordinates brought people to deliver food and returned home in the early morning, and there has not been any change yet." Cai Wanyi stood up and said.
"Your Highness, I think several possible situations may arise. We should find out which team the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are in as soon as possible to make a decision." Jiang Yu said.
"Why should the Jiang Transportation Army be so troublesome? The Sa family sent a navy to stop them before talking about it." Zhao Mengjin said.
"Everyone, please be careful. I think what Lord Gao and Lord Jiang said is reasonable. At present, the Prime Minister Chen in the court had already wanted to go to Chameng to take refuge, but Deputy Envoy Zhang and some generals were unwilling to go. The division of troops in the court may be related to this matter." Chen Yizhong went to Chameng when the court was in crisis. This matter has been recorded in history, but the subtle changes have occurred, which made Zhao Bing dare not make a decision. He thought about it.
"The incident happened suddenly, but there were only three situations: one was an internal strife in the court. Chen Xiang held the Empress Dowager and His Majesty to Cham City hostage, and the other was worried that we would take revenge and go to Leizhou to temporarily avoid it; the other was the court officials quarreled, and Chen Xiang took a part of his people to Cham City to check the situation in case of accidents. The Empress Dowager and His Majesty followed the other to the Leizhou waters waiting for the wait; the third was that someone in the court rebelled, and he took His Majesty or the Empress Dowager to surrender to the enemy. Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out where the fleet that passed the strait was going, and whether His Majesty and the Empress Dowager were on the ship!"
"Your Highness, this is simple. I will immediately lead the troops to stop them from boarding the ship to check." Zhao Mengjin stood up and said.
"Zhao Dutong, why are you still so reckless in your work? If Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are on the boat, wouldn't it be their lives if you forcibly board the boat?" Ying Jie scolded sternly.
"FusuShip, what do you think you should do?" Zhao Mengjin spread his hands, "If they just ask, how can they tell the truth? If they don't get on the boat, how can they know if Your Majesty is on the side?"
"Oh, you are so stupid. You are divided into two groups, and you are on standby to make an interception. The other group catches up with the fleet heading towards Leizhou and see if Your Majesty is there!" Zhao Bing sighed.
"Your Highness is more sensible." Zhao Mengjin understood as soon as he heard this. "The subordinate immediately sent a message to the Chengmai Navy, asking the Chengmai Navy to sail immediately, and accompany the forward to make an interception preparation, and asked the Baisha Navy to send a sentry ship to follow and find out the news. If His Majesty is on the ship, the Chengmai Navy will remain unmoved."
"It's appropriate to arrange this, but if the fleet passing through the strait has the intention of defecting, it will attack immediately." Ying Jieyan nodded and said.
"The last general obeys the order!" Zhao Mengjin immediately went out to dispatch the troops.
"Your Highness, what should we do if Your Majesty is not there?" Jiang Xu said again.
"I guess that the fleet passing through the strait is mostly led by Chen Xiang to Chameng. As long as His Majesty and the Queen Mother are not on the ship, let him go!" Zhao Bing said.
"Your Highness, if Chen Xiang is gone forever, it will be no different from defection!" Gao Yingsong said worriedly.
