Chapter 125: Competition II
Xu Xian led the red scarf guards from the east gate to the back pavilion and handed them over to Chai Rong for dispatch. Chai Rong ordered the red scarf guards to guard the entrances to the back pavilion and kill any trespassers on the spot.
People in the Red Scarf City are not all fools like Muggles. Listening to Chai Rong's words, it is clear that something big is going to happen in the White House. This is the merit of Conglong. No wonder Xu Xian came to give them official hats.
Suddenly, everyone seemed to be on the receiving end of blood, hoping that Chai Rong would ascend the throne so that he could be promoted and make a fortune.
After that, Xu Xian left the palace again and went to Kaifeng Mansion. When he arrived at the palace, he saw Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu holding tea bowls and talking about Fu's birth of a daughter. Seeing Xu Xian come in, Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Your Highness is back?"
Xu Xian shook his head and said softly: "His Royal Highness has not come back. His Majesty is leaving."
The two of them looked startled when they heard this, and then lowered their voices and said, "What are your instructions, Your Highness?"
"Your Majesty wants you to pay attention to the movements in the palace. If there is a fight, you can lead your troops to break into the palace from the east gate at any time."
Zhao Kuangyin responded and said: "Well, I will gather the troops and have my confidants patrol near the palace. If there is any movement, they can enter the palace at any time."
Zhao Pu said, "At such a critical juncture, I, as a military envoy, should stay with His Highness."
Zhao Kuangyin naturally understood what he meant. Appearing next to Chai Rong at this time would definitely make Chai Rong pay more attention to him in the future. "I understand what you mean, sir, but His Highness has other important responsibilities that I cannot violate."
"The military envoy can hand over this important task to another person."
"who?"
"Pan Dianye, this Pan Dianye is also a young man in the army. Xiao Ke talked with him before and saw that he is quite familiar with the art of war and is more familiar with government offices than military envoys. He should be qualified for the job. The most important thing is that he must also
Your Highness has the utmost trust, and Your Highness will not have any objections."
Zhao Kuangyin took out the tiger charm from his body after a moment's hesitation, "I'll leave the matter to you, sir. I will enter the palace with Zhixian right now."
He handed the tiger talisman to Zhao Pu and then he and Xu Xian left the office and ran to the east gate of the palace. In order not to attract attention, neither of them rode horses. Xu Xian said as they walked: "You have quite a lot of trust in this Mr. Zhao.
"
"Mr. Zhao is a loyal, diligent and conscientious person. This is what my father said. He can never be wrong about people. What's more, his surname is Zhao and we are still from the same family."
Xu Xian could only smile at this, wondering who the mastermind behind the Chenqiao mutiny would be. He could deceive an old man like Zhao Hongyin who was world-savvy, which showed that Zhao Pu's acting skills were not average.
When passing by the guards, Ma Bujun, and the commander of the envoy, Xu Xian reminded: "Would you like to inform your father-in-law so that he can be more alert?"
Zhao Kuangyin said, "Don't be confused if you know what to do. It's enough to involve you and me if things fail. There is no need to involve more family members."
"I just asked my father-in-law to be more alert, and I didn't ask him to get involved. As for what you are worried about, it will not happen."
"That's natural. Speaking of which, Your Highness has been planning for a long time. His throne cannot be taken away by others. I'm afraid..." Zhao Kuangyin only said half of his words before he shut up.
"I'm just worried that I won't be able to sit still, right?"
"I have been with His Highness for a long time, so I know what he is capable of, but in the eyes of others, he is just an adopted son favored by the emperor without any prestige. I am afraid that people will not like him!" Zhao Kuangyin, who had looked relaxed just now, suddenly tightened his eyebrows.
, it seems that this is what worries him the most.
"What should you do if unfortunately your words come true?"
Zhao Kuangyin laughed twice and said: "I should do my best to obey the destiny. Fu Yanqing is a good example. It is probably for business. Therefore, every emperor puts him in high regard, but no one has ever really regarded him as a confidant."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the east gate of the palace, and Xu Xian discovered that Zhao Kuangyin actually had a special waistband, which was exactly the same as the one given to him by Old Mutou.
Chai Rong was not surprised or blamed when he saw Zhao Kuangyin. After hearing Zhao Kuangyin's explanation, he only said: "It doesn't matter if Yuen Long is here, I can rest assured that the government office will leave it to Pan Meimei."
He just felt that he had taken a nap for a while, but when he opened his eyes, Li Chongjin found that the room was dim and it was already ten minutes after sunset, so he got up from the couch and went to see Guo Wei.
Chai Rong stayed in the palace for more than three months, and Li Chongjin also never returned home. His purpose is self-evident. The bow he made in front of all the officials in Chongyuan Palace strengthened Chai Rong's status as the crown prince, but it did not make him completely
Giving up gave him more resentment and shame.
He was not willing to hand over the throne to others like this. After all, he had served Guo Wei the longest and considered himself to have the greatest credit. Moreover, he and Guo Wei had an indelible blood relationship. The most important thing was that he was the only one in the palace besides Guo Wei.
How could the person with the most power be willing to give up the throne to an outsider?
Maybe this is an unfair name, but in this troubled world, how many people who call themselves lonely, Taoist, and widowed are justified. An old man like Feng Dao, who has been famous for many years, is not a moral gentleman in the traditional sense of Confucianism, nor is he a moral gentleman in the traditional sense of Confucianism.
No matter what a martial artist like me is.
Guo Wei kept Chai Rong by his side, which made Li Chongjin very jealous. Every evening at ten o'clock, he would drag Zhang Yongde along to greet Guo Wei, both to show his presence and to explore Guo Wei's physical condition.
As soon as he left the door, he saw Zhang Yongde coming out of a side room, "Hold him, come with me to see His Majesty."
Zhang Yongde stretched himself and said, "Your Majesty has been in good health recently, so you don't have to go today. I have important things to do after I get off the job."
"What's important, isn't it to go to Jinshui River? Do you want me to let the princess know?"
"Although the princess is honorable but virtuous, she doesn't care whether I go to Jinshui River or not. However, I have no reason not to accept my brother Zhongjin's request."
"Why am I begging you? Isn't Your Majesty your father-in-law? You have to do three things a day for the sake of the princess!"
"Yes! Why don't I go?"
The two of them walked towards the back pavilion while they were talking, because they were only half a cup of tea away from each other, but unexpectedly a group of people came out to stop them.
Luo Fubang stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty will not see anyone else today, so please go back to the two superior officers."
Not to mention that Li Chongjin was unhappy after hearing this, even Zhang Yongde was unhappy, "That's nonsense. I am your Majesty's son-in-law, Commander Li is your Majesty's nephew, and we are both close ministers of your Majesty. How dare you say that we are outsiders?"
.Eh...aren't you from the red scarf capital?"
Zhang Yongde looked around and saw that there were soldiers from the Red Scarf City at the entrance to the back cabinet. His expression changed, "Your Majesty is not going to court now, and there is no need for you to stand guard in Chongyuan Hall. Why did you enter without reporting to me?"
The palace is in the palace, where is Xu Xian? Let him come out to see me!"
