If the two sons of the Marquis were killed in the hunting ground, the Marquis of Zhenbei would definitely attack like wild beasts, and the entire family would be implicated, unless they could be silenced.
How can it be!
How can you kill such a famous general who is so famous all over the world without making a sound?
But they already knew the prince's plan. If they didn't do it, they wouldn't be able to get out of the East Palace today. The prince said that he wouldn't force anyone to sacrifice his life. In fact, if they dared to refuse, blood would be spilled on the spot.
He is more like a calm and powerful monarch than Emperor Jianming.
"I accept your order!" Zhang Bolan kowtowed heavily, "I will not give up even if I die."
Lin Sheng also kowtowed, and the prince bent down to help them up, and said with a chuckle, "You are all Gu's confidants. After Gu ascends the throne, you will also be Gu's loyal ministers."
Lin Xiao and Zhang Bolan did not dare to respond, they only hoped that the errand would be completed successfully.
"The hunt is coming, get ready for action."
"yes!"
After Lin Sheng and Zhang Bolan walked out of the East Palace, Zhang Bolan looked troubled, "Why did Your Highness insist on Xie Zhang's life? He had a close relationship with Lin Heli and Lin Yushu, and he also came to the East Palace with Madam Hou to see the emperor's grandson. And
He is the future master of the Zhenbei Cavalry. His Highness has not had time to win over him or please him, so why should he be killed?"
Lin Sheng was even more puzzled than Zhang Bolan. If His Highness wanted to kill Xie Jue, it would not be difficult to understand. The prince and Dugu Jing secretly communicated, and Dugu Jing wanted to kill Xie Jue. The prince cooperated, so there was no personal grudge. Although the prince was afraid of the Hou Mansion,
But they never dared to set up a trap to kill people. None of them thought that the hunting grounds were arranged a month ago to kill Xie Jue and Xie Zhang.
The Marquis Mansion is at its peak, and the Marquis is determined to promote the New Deal. The best way for the royal family to stay out of the matter is to watch the Marquis fight with the family. Even if they don't want to stay out of the matter, the royal family and the Marquis Mansion should unite the front and defeat the family first. Why did the prince take such a desperate risk and kill Xie Xie?
Jue, firstly, was invited by Dugu Jing, and secondly, Xie Jue and the prince had been fighting each other during this period. The prince repeatedly fell behind and was unhappy. Why did he kill Xie Zhang?
If the matter is revealed and the conflict between the Hou Mansion and the royal family intensifies, it will not be of any benefit to the prince. If it is for military power, the master of the Zhenbei Cavalry is the Marquis, not Xie Zhang.
Lin Sheng couldn't see through the prince's plan and wanted to kill Xie Jue. Lin Sheng was extremely happy, but he didn't want to provoke Xie Zhang.
If Xie Jue died at the hands of Dugu Jing in the hunting ground, and the terms of the peace talks have been negotiated, even if the Marquis is angry and hateful, he will only swallow his hatred with hatred for the sake of the people of Yanyang. Killing Dugujing in revenge will lead to an endless war between the two countries.
If the Marquis cares about the world, he will not seek personal revenge. They can also blame the matter on Dugu Jing.
But if Xie Zhang dies in hunting, a violent storm will surely arise. In the Marquis's rage, no one involved in the Forbidden Army will be able to escape, and the family may even be implicated.
Lin Sheng didn't understand why the prince made it complicated for a simple assassination.
He and Xie Zhang had no enmity or enmity.
This eldest son of the Xie family, who is praised by everyone, is gentle and polite. He never loses his etiquette when meeting the emperor or his subordinates. Even if he knew that he had led people to search the horse farm of the Marquis Mansion, Xie Zhang still smiled when he saw him.
Chat as usual.
Lin Sheng was ignorant when he was young and was jealous of Xie Zhang. But as an adult, he heard that he always took the lead in the battlefield in Ningzhou and made many military exploits, so Lin Sheng accepted him. The prince and Xie Zhang had never heard of any grudge.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the financial power of the Feng family and the military power of the Hou family. He doesn't even dare to touch the Feng family. The Hou family is in great prosperity. His Highness wants to touch the Hou family. The time is not right. He...he is not afraid of the Hou family.
Revenge?"
"Zhang Bolan, you and I have worked together for many years. We have had disputes and calculations. But this time, we are in the same boat. Whether we succeed or not depends on God's will." Lin Sheng felt a chill down his spine under the scorching sun.
Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao were also on the list of hunting officials and could bring their families with them. This time, the generals could basically accompany them. Feng Shu also went to the hunting ground with her parents.
The royal hunting ground is in Xiyan Mountain in the southern suburbs, and the entire mountainous area is within the hunting range. In order to show the strength of Yanyang in front of the northern barbarians, the hunting was more spectacular than in previous years, and the two mountainous areas south of Xiyan Mountain were included in the hunting range.
Fortunately, there are enough cavalry, so there is no pressure on the garrison.
Feng Yu said, "Father, mother, I also want to go to the hunting ground."
"Auntie never likes hunting. The wind is strong in the forest. What should I do if I get cold?"
Feng Yu had never participated in hunting in Beijing.
"I'm going to relax." Feng Yu blinked innocently, "Sister can go, but Ayu can't?"
Feng Shu, "..."
"Of course I can go!" Feng Changqing couldn't resist the aggrieved and pitiful look in her little daughter's eyes, "Father taught Ayu how to hunt."
"Father is so kind!"
Feng Shu couldn't help laughing. The spring breeze brought warmth and the green willows supported the trees. It would be a good idea to take her sister for a walk to the hunting ground, so as not to scold the young marquis at home every day. The young marquis has been working hard for the peace talks recently, which is quite hard.
Feng Yu heard that Zhenbei Hou and the three sons of the Xie family would go hunting, and almost all the young men from the Kyoto aristocratic families would participate. This was the largest hunt in more than ten years. The Northern Barbarians were all participating, and Feng Yu felt that the Northern Barbarians would definitely cause trouble.
On the first day of the peace talks, they openly proposed to take the second son's life and participate in the hunt.
Killing someone on a hunting ground is easy.
Dugu Jing wanted to kill Xie Jue, which was crude and stupid, and not like the actions of a general of a country. Many people thought that Dugu Jing was just a false shot in order to gain momentum over Xie Xun in the peace talks.
Feng Yu felt that killing Xie Jue was the biggest goal of Dugu Jing's peace talks.
The second young master has no plans left, how will he counterattack?
On the day of the hunt, Feng Yu got up early to dress up, while Qiu Xiang and Chun Lu packed their bags. After three days of hunting, they would spend the night at Xiyan Mountain. The two packed up the incense that Feng Yu always loved, the pillow she always hugged, and the jade bone fan she loved.
They usually like to read story books and so on. Qiuxiang and Chunlu also packed more than 20 sets of clothes, matching them with different colors of jewelry, shoes, etc.
Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao looked at several large boxes in the yard and looked at each other. Su Yuejiao said, "Auntie, we only need to hunt for three days, so there is no need to bring so many things."
"Is that much?" Feng Yu supported her chin and said reluctantly, "Qiuxiang, bring at least two sets of clothes, don't be too ostentatious."
"yes!"
Feng Shu chuckled and said, "Let her take care of it. The conditions in the tent are simple and we have to live for a few days. If we pack it up more comfortably, I can sleep more soundly."
Feng Yu smiled happily, "Sister is the best."
Su Yuejiao was a little bit amused and couldn't help but laugh. Feng Changlin was busy with official duties and did not have a charioteer. Fengwan was unwell and Prince Duan wanted to chaperone him. The eldest lady wanted to take Fengjiao to see Fengwan but she did not go with them to the hunting ground.
.
After the carriages of Emperor Jianming and his concubines left the city, the carriages of the aristocratic families followed closely. Feng Changqing, Su Yuejiao and Feng Shu rode horses. Feng Yu sat in the carriage and raised the curtain to talk to Feng Shu.
