After a while, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and Luo Yao, along with Li Meng, Fang Shuo, Gong Liangyi, Du Jian and other clan guards, captured Zhou Min and took him back to the military tent where the latter had been living for the past few days. ?
This incident alarmed the soldiers of Beiyi who were guarding outside Zhou Min's tent. The latter quickly reported it to Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family. After a quarter of an hour, Wang Yu hurried over with his guards, looking surprised.
Sitting in the tent were King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and Luo Yao.
In fact, Wang Yu knew that Luo Yao came to Anyi secretly, and it was he who secretly placed Luo Yao in the Beiyi Army.
Because this was the day when Luo Yao secretly asked to see Wang Yu under the instruction of Prince Zhao Hongli of the Eastern Palace, he brought a handwritten letter from Prince Zhao Hongli with words of assistance in everything, plus the seal of the Eastern Palace, so that Wang Yu had no intention of Luo Yao.
There is no doubt about the reason for arrival.
In fact, Luo Yao played a little trick.
Because the handwritten letter from Prince Zhao Hongli was actually not given to him, but to Prince Huan Zhao Hongxuan.
That was a few days ago. King Huan Zhao Hongxuan listened to Luo Yao's advice and did not expose Zhou Min directly in front of the prince Zhao Hongli. After all, Zhao Hongli trusted Zhou Min more than Luo Yao.
Therefore, even if the prince Zhao Hongli now trusts and loves King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, it is unlikely to shake Zhou Min's position in the heart of the prince in the East Palace. Instead, it may cause the prince to have doubts about King Huan.
Therefore, Zhao Hongxuan listened to Luo Yao's suggestion and mentioned to the Prince of the East Palace that he wanted to rectify the Northern First Army as soon as possible.
As expected, Prince Zhao Hongli had no doubts and wrote a handwritten letter. Under Luo Yao's intentional guidance, he wrote down a sentence of assistance in all matters, and then handed it to King Huan Zhao Hongxuan along with the tiger charm of the First Army of the North.
After Zhao Hongxuan got the handwritten letter, he took Luo Yao to Anyi that night and asked Luo Yao to come forward with the handwritten letter and ask to see Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family.
At that time, Luo Yao told Wang Yu that he came here under the order of the Prince of the East Palace to monitor the Yongwang Party and the Xiangwang Party in the Northern Army to prevent the two factions from causing trouble.
Influenced Zhou Min to count the books.
Although Wang Yu felt puzzled at that time, because Luo Yao had both the handwriting of the Prince of the East Palace and the token of the Prince of the East Palace, plus Luo Yao's good reasons, even though Wang Yu was a little puzzled, he finally did as he was told.
Quietly brought Luo Yao into the military camp of the First Army of the North.
As for King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and his clan guards, Wang Yu didn't pay attention because they were dressed as Luo Yao's guards.
After beating Wang Yu away, Luo Yao told Zhou Min exactly what happened, but Zhou Min felt angry.
He had to admit that this Luo Yao was indeed very smart. He used a trick to hide the truth and even Wang Yu, the grandfather of the Prince of the East Palace, was kept in the dark, so that Zhou Min didn't notice it at all. When he thought he was sure of victory,
In fact, Luo Yao was watching his every move in a corner.
Otherwise, if Luo Yao told Wang Yu about his suspicion of Zhou Min, Zhou Min was confident that he would be able to detect something wrong from Wang Yu's expression.
"Luo Yao, Luo Yao, you really worked hard..."
After quietly listening to Luo Yao's story, Zhou Min sneered twice, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that in the end, you still couldn't catch me..."
Seeing that Zhou Min was still stubborn even now, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was displeased and said coldly: "Your words alone are enough to expose your true identity."
"What's the details?" Zhou Min turned his head and glanced at King Huan Zhao Hongxuan. After calming down, he could naturally see some clues in Zhao Hongxuan's eyes, but he was not worried.
Because of the embarrassing identity of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, he was the younger brother of King Su Zhao Hongrun, and King Su had always been at odds with the prince. Therefore, even if King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was used as a witness, he could not defeat Zhou Min.
But Zhao Hongxuan's stance when he said these words surprised Zhou Min.
After all, in his opinion, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan is the younger brother of King Su Zhao Hongrun, so it is logically impossible for him to side with the Prince of the East Palace.
unless……
Zhou Min narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "His Royal Highness King Huan, are you really planning to side with the East Palace?...Tsk, tsk, tsk, how are you going to explain to His Highness Prince Su?"
"Explain what?" Zhao Hongxuan said seriously: "My king and Mr. Luo are just getting what they need. He helps me to take charge of the Northern Army, and I help him find you, King Yong's spy... That's all.
That’s it, I am not a member of the East Palace Party.”
"Hahaha." Zhou Min laughed loudly after hearing this, then turned to look at Luo Yao, and said with a half-smile: "Luo Yao, Luo Yao, you are so resourceful that you made such a stupid decision... King Lahuan
Go into the water, do you really think His Highness Prince Su won't kill you?" At this point, he added with a face full of ridicule: "Or did I push you to a dead end? Forced you to take this step?"
After hearing this, Luo Yao shook his head and said seriously: "Zhou Min, you are thinking too much... With your true account book, His Highness King Huan can ask those nobles to hand over their military power. I will tell you the truth.
, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handed over the Northern First Army to His Highness King Huan, which has nothing to do with the interest disputes in your mind. In a few days, His Highness King Huan will take charge of the Northern First Army, and all the noble families of the East Palace Party will withdraw from this army.
...By then, this army will be named King Huan! It is neither at the mercy of the East Palace, nor will it be involved in the overt and covert struggle between the East Palace and King Yong. His Royal Highness King Su is a sensible person. As long as he sees this, he may not understand it.
anger."
After hearing this, Zhou Min showed an expression of disbelief on his face, frowned and said: "Impossible!...Will the East Palace hand over this army to King Huan in vain?"
"So, you don't understand the Crown Prince." Luo Yao looked directly at Zhou Min and said seriously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wants to contribute to the country, but... although it is a pity, it is undeniable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ability to command troops is better than that of King Su.
His Highness is too different. He alone cannot take back the lost territory of the Wei Dynasty from South Korea and wash away the shame of the Shangdang's defeat in Wei and Han. Therefore, the Crown Prince chose His Highness King Huan... Because His Highness King Huan, and His Highness the Crown Prince,
They have the same ambitions and desires. And the rest of the people, well, those who are attached to the East Palace for their own benefit, disappointed the East Palace too much during the battle in Northern Xinjiang..."
"This is impossible..."
Zhou Min slowly shook his head in astonishment, but looking at the expressions of Luo Yao and King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, he found that both of them were very calm. This made him couldn't help but secretly mutter in his heart: Is it true? How is this possible?
?
Seeing Zhou Min's expression changing rapidly, Luo Yao shook his head slightly and sighed: "Zhou Min, stop sowing discord and let's talk about your affairs."
After hearing this, Zhou Min raised his head and glanced at Luo Yao, and said with a half-smile: "My business? What do I have to do? I sent someone to give the account book to the prince..."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Ao, the chief of the clan guard of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, came in, frowned and said to His Royal Highness and Luo Yao: "Your Highness, Mr. Luo, you are so despicable and incompetent that you asked that follower to escape..."
After hearing this, Zhou Min couldn't help laughing before Zhao Hongxuan and Luo Yao could react.
"Why are you laughing?" Luo Yao asked with a calm expression.
"Nothing." Zhou Min replied with a smile.
Luo Yao didn't ask stupid questions about why the person sent to deliver the message to the East Palace was running away, and Zhou Min didn't say anything stupid like it was a waste of your efforts and the news leaked in the end, because both of them knew it well.
After a while, Luo Yao looked at Zhou Min and lowered his voice and said: "Zhou Min, do you know why I deceived the abbot and did not use His Highness Prince Huan to identify you as a spy? In fact, I even hid it from the prince.
Your Highness."
"Afraid of disturbing the grass?" Zhou Min said with a smile.
"No!" Luo Yao shook his head, and then said seriously: "Because you are the East Palace's staff!... Even if three out of ten thousand people know that you are actually from King Yong's side, the other nine thousand nine hundred and ninety
In the eyes of the seven people, you are still the East Palace's staff member."
"..." Zhou Min frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "You want to talk about me?"
"Yes!" Luo Yao nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "You have no way out, Zhou Min. From the moment you came to Anyi, it meant that King Yong had started taking action, but now there is King Huan
and me
With Luo Yao here, the Northern Army will not act as you originally expected... In other words, you delayed King Yong's plan. Instead of helping King Yong to overthrow the East Palace, you made King Yong passive. "
"..." Zhou Min opened his mouth slightly.
"As expected, King Yong should now stand up to impeach the East Palace. He thought that you would bring him enough evidence to bring down the East Palace. Unfortunately, these evidences are now in the hands of His Highness King Huan... There is no such evidence.
King Yong is trying to frame his own flesh and blood. As long as we give him a little push, King Yong will be unable to stand up. At that time, how should you, Zhou Min, deal with yourself? Can you still return to King Yong?"
"..." Zhou Min remained silent after hearing this.
Seeing this, Luo Yao lowered his voice and said seriously: "Although I hated you in the past, I admired you very much. I, Luo Yao, pride myself on being resourceful, but in front of you, I won less and lost more. Therefore, I left you a
A choice that doesn't reveal your true identity
For others, if you ask me why I tried so hard to deceive Wang Yu, then I will tell you the reason. It is because I want to protect you... Zhou Min, most of the entire government and the public know that you are the East Seat of the East Palace.
, now, in the future... it can also be."
"You..." Zhou Min looked at Luo Yao in surprise and murmured, "You...are actually willing to admit defeat?"
"Admit defeat? No, no, no." Luo Yao shook his head and said sternly: "Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I, Luo Yao, have lost, but in my opinion, if I can make you voluntarily sit on the staff of the East Palace East Palace,
Even if I am inferior to you, I still win!" At this point
, he paused and lowered his voice and said: "Zhou Min, I believe you also have your ambitions and ambitions. Is it really okay to stop here and stop moving forward? You have to know that you are the east seat of the East Palace, as long as you
You have established this identity and no one can shake it."
Zhou Min looked at Luo Yao with a complicated expression, lowered his head and remained silent for a full moment before sighing and mocking himself: "You won..."
After saying that, he raised his head and saw Luo Yao's face showing surprise. He immediately said seriously: "I mean you won, but Dong Palace hasn't won yet!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have let that follower of mine escape...With that fish slipping through the net, King Yong will definitely know that something is going on here. Just be careful.
, you also know that Zhang Qigong is no less intelligent than me, but he is more ruthless than me!"
"..."
Luo Yao nodded solemnly, and then extended his right hand towards Zhou Min in a friendly manner.
"It's been a long night. Are you interested in having a drink, Mr. Dong Xi's Staff?"
"Humph! Don't be so proud, you...teacher!" (To be continued.) 8
