The former Hongxi Prince's Mansion was the largest residence in Haixi County. However, since the rebellion, the Hongxi Prince's Mansion in the county town has become vacant.
And now the Hongxi Prince's Mansion has not only been moved to the edge of Bincheng, but the mansion has become even more low-key.
In the northwest corner of Bincheng, there is a house, which looks just like an ordinary wealthy businessman's house.
This is the current Prince Hongxi's Mansion. There is not even a plaque hanging on it. There are only two guards wearing samurai uniforms with swords standing on both sides of the door.
Since the failure of the rebellion, King Hongxi has not only been deprived of all his private troops, but even his bodyguards cannot exceed one hundred.
Of course, he only has a hundred guards in name, but it is unknown how many he has in secret.
Inside the mansion.
King Hongxi was sitting in the lobby, with a master standing beside him. It was none other than the military counselor who had escaped with him, Gongsun Fu.
On both sides of the lobby, sat his guests and his two sons.
The eldest son: Ximenyu, and the second son Ximenqi.
Of course, he has more than just these children, but either his daughter or his son are still young, and he only has two sons who can help him deal with things.
"Boss, how is the industrial transfer going?"
Ximen was sitting on a chair with his head up, holding a teacup in his hand, blowing the foam from the tea leaves gently.
Ximenyu quickly stood up and bowed:
"Father, half of the assets have been transferred to Han Country and Luo Country respectively. It will take some time for the remaining half to be left. After all, we can't make it too obvious."
"Well, let's start with half of it, and pause for the rest. I hope that His Majesty will think about family ties and not take that step. However, you and the second child should leave Qing Kingdom as soon as possible and go to Han Kingdom and Luo Kingdom respectively."
What Ximen Dingtian did was not for himself, but for his two sons, letting them go abroad.
Even if something goes wrong, it can still leave seeds for this lineage.
"Father, it's been such a long time, should everything be okay?"
How could Ximen Qi give up the identity and status of the young prince, as well as the inexhaustible wealth?
If he goes to a foreign country and loses his identity as a young prince, he might die in a foreign country!
"Hmph! You have been in contact with Ximen Hao. Don't you know who he is?"
Ximen Dingtian glared at Ximen Qi displeasedly, making him shrink back in fear.
"My child realizes that he is wrong. I hope that my father will not take offense."
Ximen Qi quickly apologized.
Ximen raised his hand and waved:
"Forget it, it's not your fault. After all, no one knows what will happen if you go abroad. Okay, let's talk about business. It seems that the Ritian Cavalry has already headed here."
There is no way to hide the movements of the Ritian Iron Cavalry from others. It's okay to say that the special forces only have five hundred people.
However, with tens of thousands of people on horseback every day, it is impossible to be completely concealed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is preparing to expand the territory!"
A guest said.
"Hmph! The prerequisite for expanding territory is to stabilize the rear! Mr. Wang, who do you think is behind this?"
Gongsun Fu looked at Mr. Wang, his meaning was obvious.
No matter which country Ximen Hao attacks first, he will definitely stabilize the interior first, and Ximen Dingtian is the most unstable factor.
After all, he has the reputation of being a rebel!
"Mr. Gongsun, since your Majesty has turned the conflict with the prince into friendship, will you go back on your word?"
Mr. Wang was unconvinced.
"Hahaha! Mr. Wang, and colleagues, I'm afraid you don't know Ximen Hao, right?"
Gongsun Fu had directly fought against Ximen Hao, and was Ximen Dingtian's number one military advisor. Of course he knew the other side of Ximen Hao.
"This...I learned about it from this book."
Mr. Wang said, took out a copy of "The Legend of Ximen Hao" and continued:
"I have been under the prince's command not long ago, so maybe I don't understand a lot?"
After saying that, he looked towards the sky above Ximen on his seat.
Ximen Dingtian took a sip of tea foam and placed the tea cup heavily on the table.
""The Legend of Ximen Hao"? Sigh! The author is just talking bullshit! Otherwise, he wouldn't be called: Bullshit Man! On the surface, Ximen Hao seems to be a saint, and he is a true gentleman, but in fact... In this way, you will understand the other way around.
That’s it.”
He didn't know how to explain it, because Ximen Hao was simply a super deducer and a person with split personality.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates understand. It seems that the rumors are all false."
Mr. Wang bowed, but only he knows whether he believes it or not. After all, he followed King Hongxi out of desperation.
This is when a young gentleman stood up from his seat and said:
"Your Majesty, whether the rumors are true or not, it is an indisputable fact that Ximen Hao wants to send troops to the west. The north has won a great victory, and the orcs will not be able to recover for a few years, so they can send troops to the west with peace of mind."
"In the past, the Supreme Emperor was restrained by the north and was unable to send troops to the west. Your Majesty has solved this problem. Ximen Hao's ambition is greater than that of any emperor of his generation, and he is warlike and impatient. Your Majesty, it's time to think of a way out."
After the young master finished speaking, he sat back.
Then the lufan in his hand gently drooped his eyelids, looking aloof.
King Hongxi looked overjoyed when he saw the young master speaking. He even stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Mr. Cao, is there any way?"
Everyone looked at Mr. Cao, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and some were expressionless.
This Young Master Cao appeared more than ten days ago. At that time, the news of Ximen Hao's great victory over the orcs came out, and this Young Master Cao suddenly appeared at the door of King Hongxi.
In one sentence, the young master only said one sentence and was regarded as a guest by King Hongxi.
‘Cao Zhi, a member of Tianji Sect, pays homage to King Hongxi’
With just such a sentence, everyone in the meeting was shocked and thought they heard it wrong.
Then the other party was personally invited into the palace by King Hongxi, and his identity was confirmed through some things.
However, after Cao Zhi entered the palace, he just ate, drank and had fun, showed off his methods when showing his identity, and never gave advice to King Hongxi again.
Those aides all thought that the other party was a fake, just here to have fun and drink.
King Hongxi also had doubts, but still wanted to observe.
As for the origin of Cao Zhi, it was said that he was kicked out of Tianjimen because he made a mistake.
But it just happened to follow his thoughts, and he no longer had to hold himself in the door, and he could finally see the outside world.
Today, Cao Zhi finally spoke, which made King Hongxi very happy, but King Hongxi's gaffe made other people feel mixed.
Cao Zhi gently fanned his feather fan a few times, and then said:
"Your Majesty, it's a fact that Ximen Hao will send troops, it's just a matter of time. What you have to do now is to quickly clear out the Qing Kingdom's properties and go to the Han Kingdom or the Luo Kingdom. However, this is also a delaying strategy. We have to take the opportunity to transfer to other countries.
"
"Hmph! Cao Zhi, what do you mean? Do you want the prince to give up the foundation of Qing State first, and then give up all the industries of Han State and Luo State?"
As the chief military advisor of King Hongxi, Gongsun Fu already felt a sense of crisis.
