It came to an end, and Zhao Xi returned to his previous days of listening to politics but not listening to political affairs.
Even though I was really unwilling in my heart, I was still resigned to it due to the pressure of reality.
Lu Gongzhu expressed his position and even spoke out about his brother Gong Chuo. Gong Bi both said that it was good that the matter was settled at this point.
Han Zhen also told Zhao Xi privately that his eldest brother Han Jiang also believed that the matter could only end here.
Gao Jingxian was not convinced and could not say anything. If he talked too much, he would think that King Runan was questioning his family in court, which made him resentful.
Cao Lin didn't think it was time to let go, but his family only asked him to look at His Highness the Crown Prince and not say anything more.
These are all his direct descendants, and they all think that’s it, what else can they do?
Stability has always been the goal pursued by the court, and even the entire country. If foreigners do not harass them, they probably like to store their swords and guns in the warehouse and release Ma Nanshan!
It's just that Zhao Xi has one more position, Kaifeng Prefecture. He thought it was to comfort himself and throw a melon over, and he was also ready to make a good plan on how to govern Bianliang.
As a result, Bao Zheng was promoted to the direct bachelor of Longtuge, and he had the authority to know Kaifeng Mansion.
This time I understood that I was the prince, and he had a reputation in Kaifeng Mansion. To put it nicely, the prince should have focused on the Song Dynasty, and should not be an official governing a city and place. To put it lightly, he was just to stay cool.
Zhao Xi is increasingly looking forward to being crowned as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, during the cross-country training of the guard camp today, we saw someone suspected of being Zhao Zongyong..."
Uh... Although Zhao Xi knew in his heart that the cousin would never really kill his son.
Fire, in this era, can destroy all evidence.
He thought that his uncle would arrange for Zhao Zongyong to travel far away, find a mountain den and change his name at random, and become a rich man. Unexpectedly... no one was used to the prosperous life in Bianliang City, and no one wanted to part with this life of feasting and feasting.
good very good!
"Who discovered it? Where?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the Governor of Cao and we will see him in Xingyang..."
Yes! You are so brave! You dare to place it on Jingxi Road like this.
Xingyang is two hundred miles away from Bianliang. What excuse can I use to go out?
Zhao Xi really wanted to see Zhao Zongyong in person and let him die for real.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ill. The imperial doctor went to the East Palace to diagnose the illness and never came out again. He said that the Crown Prince needed to be cared for day and night.
Tao Niang also entered the palace anxiously. Regardless of the woman's reputation, she also stayed in the East Palace day and night...
The officials visited me several times, but every time I came out of the East Palace, my face was not very good. Even the Queen was also guarding the East Palace.
My husband, you endured it on the first day, you still tolerate it on the second day, and you should be able to bear it on the third day.
It is related to the succession of the country, and the princes really need to know how the prince's health is...
There was really no other way, Zhao Xi had to use this method.
First, the empress came, and without any explanation, she called the imperial physician. As a result, the moment the imperial physician entered the east palace gate, His Highness the Crown Prince was fine...
The empress knew the truth. Apart from disagreeing with Xi'er going there in person, she had no objection to letting Zhao Zongyong die. But she couldn't resist Xi'er's plea...
As for the official family... Whether it was Xi'er going out like this or Zhao Zongyong being alive, it made him very unhappy. It would be strange if his face improved.
Whether it is the Cao family or the Gao family, it is normal to have two war horses. Zhao Xi has practiced them over the years.
He didn't bring many people with him, just four envoys, Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian. The group of seven people stayed day and night, galloping all the way, and arrived at Xingyang early in the morning.
The training of the escort is not only reflected in military literacy, but also has related plans for strategies. The training manual for the escort camp written by Zhao Xi has it all.
Therefore, when they met someone suspected of being Zhao Zongyong during training, Cao Lin and the others had already figured out the location. This also allowed Zhao Xi to save a lot of time in escaping from the imperial city this time.
He stayed up until night with annoyance... Zhao Xi didn't know how long the empress could help him hide it. Once his behavior was known to the court, he would definitely be criticized. At the same time, the good reputation he had accumulated would be completely destroyed in one day.
.
As for Dad, since he agreed aggrievedly, he has to carry it until the matter is settled.
Zhao Xi still cares about the reputation of the court, so he wants to end the matter as soon as possible.
"How is it? Have you ever come back?"
"I haven't returned to Your Highness yet. Your Highness can go to bed first and let me know when the thief comes back."
After galloping all night, waiting all day, and still worrying about the dangers in the imperial city, it's surprising that Zhao Xi could sleep well.
It wasn't until midnight that the thief like Zhao Zongyong finally came back.
The courtyard built against the mountain is very inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside of the courtyard is large, two or three times as big as his East Palace.
Taking prepared actions, these seven people quickly, secretly and smoothly entered the main room.
"Zhao Xi..."
Yes! With this sound, it is basically confirmed that the person is Zhao Zongyong.
"You should be a dead man."
Maybe Zhao Zongyong would be able to put on the prince's airs when others spoke. Only Zhao Xi spoke up.
The status of the dynasty is not high, but when facing military commanders, the key is the heir apparent of the Runan Prince's family. Zhao Zongyong will not be afraid... He has no idea what will happen if he is discovered.
"Zhao Xi! Don't go too far! This matter has been settled. If such extraneous matters arise, do you really think that the palace has been raising people for nothing in the past few decades?"
"Ignore the rest, I only know that you should be a dead person! Tied up, blindfolded... verify the method of death I told you before."
At this time, all I can do is say some bluffing words. No matter what Zhao Zongyong says, no matter how much money the prince raises in the dynasty, he will not be able to make a big splash. At most, he is just cheating Qian Mingyi.
These words made Zhao Xi truly understand Qian Mingyi's original helplessness.
Qian Mingyi is not stupid in dealing with the so-called coldness. If it weren't for the pressure from the outside world, he would never have made such a childish decision.
This is why Qian Mingyi's lips trembled in public, and why he felt relaxed after being released.
After raising people for so many years? Zhao Xi just wanted to see, under the current situation, who would stand up and take the lead for King Runan.
Zhao Zongyong thought that Zhao Xi would tie him back and then expose his identity in court... At that time, no matter whether he was lying casually or whether Shilin was accomplices, there should be no problem in saving his life.
Therefore, he was very cooperative and tied up, and he even looked at Zhao Xi mockingly: Little brat! What will happen if he is caught?
"I will prick your hand. If you are saved before all the blood flows out of your body, this matter will be over."
Then, there was no sound in the entire main room, only the sound of his own blood dripping into the copper basin.
Zhao Zongyong was scared, really scared... He wanted to move, but he was tied into a wooden stake and couldn't move at all. He wanted to shout, but a wooden core was stuffed in his mouth and pushed deeply into his throat.
It was so quiet, only my own blood dripped into the copper basin... tick... tick... tick.
Zhao Zongyong felt very suffocated and his chest was very tight. He knew that his blood was about to run out.
