"How?" Zhao Hongxuan asked, looking at Xiang Wang Hongjing.
Although Xiang Wang Hongjing seemed to be in tears just now, Zhao Hongxuan did not believe it because he had a bad impression of the former.
Unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, Xiang Wang Hongjing actually nodded and said: "Okay! I'll write it!"
This made Zhao Hongxuan a little surprised.
"Is what this guy just said true? Has he really decided to quit competing for the position?"
Looking at Xiang Wang Hongjing, Zhao Hongxuan thought in confusion.
At this moment, King Xiang Hongjing said again: "Hongxuan, I can write down the oath and keep it as a certificate, but I also have a request."
"What request?" Zhao Hongxuan asked with a frown.
I saw a look of suspicion on the face of King Xiang Hongjing, frowning and saying: "Do you have any specific method to deal with King Yong?... Don't think that I am too troublesome for my brother. You must know that if I write down the contract, it means that I have it.
You have a handle in your hands. If you and Brother Changhuang fail to defeat King Yong in the future, if this contract falls into King Yong's hands, or if he learns of such a thing, then brother will be able to
It's troublesome, maybe by then, I will be sealed by King Yong to a more remote place..."
These words are reasonable and reasonable, and even Zhao Hongxuan can't find anything wrong with them.
But the problem is, how can they deal with King Yong now? If they had a way, would the eldest prince Zhao Hongli still be so depressed? Would Zhao Hongxuan be so upset?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Prince Xiang Hongyu chuckled and said, "As long as I see some hope of winning...for example, you convince your brother to side with you."
Zhao Hongxuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Hongjing with a very ugly expression.
Because his brother, King Su Zhao Hongrun, has always been optimistic about King Yong Hongyu. Even if the conflict with the eldest prince Zhao Hongli has turned into friendship, he is still like this. How can he be persuaded?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongxuan said angrily: "If I can convince my brother, what else will I do with you?"
"That's true." Prince Xiang Hongjing nodded, and then asked: "What about Queen Wang? Have you persuaded Queen Wang to come forward to help?"
"..." Zhao Hongxuan's expression froze when he heard this.
"Sure enough, something happened on Queen Wang's side."
King Xiang Hongjing secretly thought to himself, pretending to be surprised on his face, and deliberately exclaimed: "What are you thinking? Do you really think that without the help of Queen Wang, you can defeat King Yong?" At this point, he pretended to be surprised.
He said fearfully: "Then I'd better go and please King Yong. Yangzhai is a county seat after all."
"You!" Zhao Hongxuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said impatiently: "We will find a way to convince the Queen... Will you write this oath or not?"
Xiang Wang Hongjing thought for a while and finally decided to write a contract to appease Zhao Hongxuan's heart.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongxuan was quite surprised, and immediately ordered Zongwei to get a pen and paper. Unexpectedly, Xiang Wang Hongjing also quickly and neatly wrote a contract, in exchange for "withdrawing from the struggle for the throne" to the eldest prince Zhao Hongli.
The right to "choose a fiefdom" in the future.
Of course, this contract is only for "the eldest prince Zhao Hongli".
After writing it, King Xiang Hongjing handed the contract to Zhao Hongxuan.
Zhao Hongxuan glanced at it after taking it and sneered: "It seems you haven't completely given up."
After Zhao Hongxuan revealed his subterfuge, Xiang Wang Hongjing did not feel ashamed and said frankly: "Of course, who knows what will happen in the future? ... However, as long as Brother Changhuang remains standing, this added note will
It doesn’t matter if you have it or not, right?”
Zhao Hongxuan thought about it and felt that what Xiang Wang Hongjing said was correct.
Anyway, as long as we can prevent the guy in front of us from betraying the elder brother in the future, that's enough. - To put it bluntly, if they don't win against King Yong Hongyu this time, even if King Xiang Hongyu competes with King Yong for that position in the future, this will have nothing to do with them.
What's the point?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongxuan stopped sarcastic and read the entire contract carefully.
It has to be said that the contract written by Xiang Wang Hongjing is quite sincere. Simply put, as long as the eldest prince Zhao Hongli has not been defeated, then Xiang Wang Hongjing is not allowed to switch to other people, let alone plot in private.
former.
Overall, Zhao Hongxuan is quite satisfied.
Instructing Zong Wei Gong Liangyi to carefully store the contract, Zhao Hongxuan looked at Xiang Wang Hongjing with a much kinder expression. After all, after making this oath, the two parties can be called an alliance - as long as there is this contract,
Zhao Hongxuan is not afraid that Prince Xiang Hongjing will do something harmful to the eldest prince Zhao Hongli in the future.
And Xiang Wang Hongjing also noticed Zhao Hongxuan's improved expression, and said with a smile: "Now, Hongxuan, you should be trustworthy as a brother, right?"
"Hmm." Zhao Hongxuan nodded.
Seeing this, King Xiang Hongjing suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "In that case, let's talk frankly...Hongxuan, have you heard about the murder of Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang?"
"
"Yeah." Zhao Hongxuan nodded.
"You missed a good opportunity, do you know?" Looking at Zhao Hongxuan, Xiang Wang Hongjing said in a deep voice: "Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, this is obviously a secret chess placed by the second brother next to the fifth brother. You can definitely use this matter to deal with Yong.
The king is raising an issue. In this matter, the people from Lao Wu will also help you... Now it’s okay. Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, was killed and silenced. The best opportunity to bring down Lao Wu has been wasted by you.
Missed it."
"What are you talking about now? I didn't see you mention it at the time." Zhao Hongxuan's heartfelt words once again hit Xiang Wang Hongjing's weakness, making Xiang Wang Hongjing hold the words in his chest, feeling very uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, King Xiang Hongjing lowered his voice and said: "Then for now, no matter what happens, the murder of "Quliang Hou Sima Song" should be pinned on King Yong first."
"It's useless." Zhao Hongxuan shook his head and said: "Both Luo Yao and Zhou Min, as well as my brother, all believe that Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, was not killed by King Yong..."
"So what?" Xiang Wang Hongjing lowered his voice and said: "It doesn't matter if it was Lao Er who did it or not. Let's get him charged first. If you fight with Lao Er in a good manner like this, can you beat him?... Don't forget,
What did the second brother do in the "Beiyi Military Camp Xiao Incident"? How did he instigate Quliang Hou Sima Song in the Jinxiang Massacre a while ago? What's more, after Quliang Hou Sima Song was killed
It may not have anything to do with Lao Er."
"this……"
After hearing what Xiang Wang Hongjing said, Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, the conspiracy proposed by this brother of the Three Kings was inconsistent with their ideas - neither Zhao Hongli, Luo Yao, nor Zhao Hongxuan had ever thought of playing tricks. They only wanted to find evidence of King Yong's crime and bring him to justice.
beat.
"For example, if you forge a criminal certificate that a person of King Yong contacted Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang..." Prince Xiang Hongjing said meaningfully: "Bring this evidence of crime to see Queen Wang, maybe Queen Wang will agree...
…”
"It won't work." Zhao Hongxuan shook his head and said subconsciously.
"Oh?" Xiang Wang Hongjing raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "You mean, you have already tried it?"
"I, hey, let's just take it as such." Zhao Hongxuan said distractedly.
Xiang Wang Hongjing rolled his eyes slightly, chatted a few words with Zhao Hongxuan casually, and left with some excuse.
After leaving Prince Huan's Mansion and riding in the carriage that came up, Liang Xu, the chief of the imperial clan, asked Prince Xiang Hongjing in a low voice: "Your Highness, have you really decided to join forces with Zhao Hongli?"
Xiang Wang Hongjing smiled and said: "Do you think I have any other choice? The second brother is too wary of me. Even if I beg for mercy, he will not relax his guard against me... Liu Jie's suggestion will not work.
"
Zongwei Liang Xu nodded, and then asked: "Do you think, Your Highness, Zhao Hongli and the others can succeed?"
"Instead of being exiled to Yangzhai in disguise by the second child, of course I chose Zhao Hongli's side. At least they just hated my erratic behavior in the past, but they were far less wary of me than King Yong... It's just that Zhao Hongli, Zhao Hongxuan, and
The last Luo Yao, three pedantic guys got together, even with Zhou Min, I'm afraid it would be difficult to achieve anything." Xiang Wang Hongjing shook his head and said.
After hearing this, Liang Xu asked in confusion: "Since His Highness concluded that Zhao Hongli and the others could not succeed, why did he still write that contract?"
"At least there is a chance. Anyway, no matter whether I write the contract or not, he will not relax his guard against me..." At this point, Xiang Wang Hongjing took a deep breath and then sighed heavily.
, shook his head slightly and said: "If I had known this, I should have come forward myself and announced the secret letter to the public. I couldn't count on Zhao Hongli and the others... Oh! Misstep!"
Thinking of this, Xiang Wang Hongjing regretted everything: If he had known that Zhao Hongli and his gang were so useless, he should have stepped forward by himself, seized the advantage of "Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang", pursued and beat King Yong, and made the latter tired.
To cope with.
As long as this problem is not resolved, Yongwang Hongyu will not be able to send him to Yangdi.
But now, Sima Song, Marquis of Quliang, is dead, and the secret letter is like waste paper. It will be even more difficult to take this matter against King Yong again.
"Can't we think of another way to deal with the death of Sima Song, Marquis of Quliang?" Liang Xu asked from the side.
"The death of Sima Song, Marquis of Quliang..." Prince Xiang Hongjing squinted his eyes and murmured: "Maybe it really wasn't the second son's fault."
"Who could that be? So decisive and ruthless, who else could it be besides King Yong?"
"Who else could there be?" King Xiang Hongjing shook his head and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm afraid there are quite a few."
As he spoke, something strange flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, had one or two hundred servants in his house. However, in just one or two hours, they were all killed, leaving no one behind."
Survived. Thinking about it this way, the gang of thugs must have at least two to three hundred people, right? But these two to three hundred people were able to sneak into Fengqiu County quietly, and the local county government had no idea about it... Even though
It’s Xiao Ni, I’m afraid he’s not that capable, right?”
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Liang Xu, please find a way to check the imperial guards in the palace and see if any of the imperial guards have been transferred from outside during this period..."
"Prison guard?" Liang Xu looked shocked and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness suspects that someone in the palace has given instructions?"
Zhao Hongjing did not answer, just closed his eyes and thought deeply.
He recalled that after the "Beiyi Military Camp Roaring" incident, he sent someone to deliver evidence of King Yong's crime to Queen Wang, but as a result, the person he sent was never heard from again.
"Once may be a coincidence, but twice... there is probably something wrong with it."
