Bright Spring

Huang Zicheng's body was not wet by the rain, but his temple hair was too messy to comb.When Qi Tai came in, Qi Tai was not so lucky, the lower half of the red robe was completely wet, even an umbrella could not cover the violent rain.

Qi Tai still stepped forward to salute first.

Huang Zicheng said casually: "My lord, the matter has come to this, I'm afraid I have to start the strategic steps of the plan ahead of time."

Zhu Yunwen said in an angry voice: "How dare King Yan!"

Perhaps Qi Tai's clothes were completely wet, but seeing Huang Zicheng's body was dry, he felt a little unbalanced.Qi Tai's expression was very displeased, and he turned to look at Huang Zicheng: "Are we really ready to fight? Huang Siqing, have you ever seen a battle of swords and guns?"

Huang Zicheng said, "Perhaps it won't be so..."

After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed to his superior: "Your Majesty, I have already planned it well, now I just need to follow the steps and carry out the planned things. It's just that the timing has been brought forward a while."

Zhu Yunqi above uttered a tone of unknown meaning.

Huang Zicheng said: "It's not too late. The envoy of Yan, Deng Yong, is still living in the ceremonial hall of the patriarch's residence. I request the imperial guards to take Deng Yong down immediately, and let him confess to the King of Yan!"

At this time Qi Tai said: "I think that this matter can be skipped for the time being, and I will respond to my colleagues in Peking..."

Huang Zicheng frowned and said, "In what name? The great Ming Dynasty, the country and the country, righteousness first, and then deeds! Haven't we already discussed these steps?"

Zhu Yunwen's voice said: "I will play according to Huang Siqing." He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Go down and do it, let go and start doing it!"

It was daytime, and there were no lamps in the imperial gate, but the light was dim and dark at this time. Suddenly, the spacious and majestic imperial gate seemed to become gloomy.

... The first person to be imprisoned was Yan envoy Deng Yong. Before he could figure out what was going on, he went to prison and was beaten severely.

Deng Yong shouted his grievances loudly and questioned him desperately, but no one told him what was going on, and then he was gagged.The jailers just beat him until he was bruised and half dead.

In the dark prison, the fire flickered and flickered, and screams echoed in the hazy place.

It finally subsided, and the thing stuck in Deng Yong's mouth was pulled out, but he was already unable to shout.He raised his head with difficulty and spat out a mouthful of blood, when he heard a rush of footsteps from far to near.

A red-robed officer silently grabbed Deng Yong's torn clothes and wiped them on his right hand a few times.Then Guan'er grabbed his right thumb again, poked it in a cold box, and then pressed it on a piece of paper.

After Guan'er finished these trivial matters, he led his entourage without saying a word, and left soon.Still no one spoke.

The jailer who beat Deng Yong also left, leaving only Deng Yong locked there.Until now, he still hasn't figured it out...

What happened?

Chapter 29 The Calm Before the Storm

There was a heavy rain in the capital, but only a few drops of rain fell in Beiping, more than 2000 miles away.

At the beginning of July, the wind in Beiping was also low.But the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate, and they still hovered over the ancient city, and the sky was cloudy for several consecutive days.Sooner or later there will be a heavy rain, and the short lull is just the calm before the storm.

Yao Guangxiao came to the gate of Shizi Mansion and saluted with one hand: "Amitabha."

Menzi hurriedly said, "Master, please come inside."

Yao Guangxiao soon saw Shi Zi in the living room, Shi Zi looked restless and restless.Yao Guangxiao then asked: "The prince sent people to look for the old monk twice, why?"

The eldest son Zhu Gaochi moved his obese body to the door, closed the door first, and said directly: "Father is pretending, right?"

"Yes." Yao Guangxiao said without hesitation.

When the eldest son just got married, the king of Yan asked Yao Guangxiao to come and teach the eldest son; now that the eldest son has grown up and is the eldest son of the king of Yan, Yao Guangxiao feels that there is no need to hide secrets from him on purpose.

Shizi nodded slightly, his face gradually turned cold again.Yao Guangxiao observed, but couldn't fathom the meaning for a moment.

"Not long ago, someone in my father's palace accidentally ate Junyingcao and was poisoned to death!" said the prince.

Yao Guangxiao was taken aback when he heard this, "So what?"

The prince said: "When I was in the capital, I was seriously ill and almost died. My fourth uncle and uncle said that it was most likely poisoned... That day, someone in the father's palace was poisoned by eating king shadow grass, and the symptoms were exactly the same as mine! At that time, I thought that in the capital The poison in it may also be Junyingcao.

But who will poison me?When I was in the capital, my diet was served only by two servants who had long been in the mansion, other than that were my brothers.

That's all, but on the way back to Beiping, my illness suddenly recovered overnight!At that time, there were only two brothers around... and Gao Xu's two servants! "

The prince's face turned red, and his anger continued to increase, "I didn't believe it at first, I didn't want to believe it! Later, I asked the doctors in my father's mansion, who had treated people who died of poisoning, and questioned them carefully. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong!"

"Ah?" Yao Guangxiao made a sound, but there was no surprise in his triangular eyes.

The prince clenched his fist and waved it in the air, his demeanor was completely lost, his blushing face distorted a bit, "Are you really a brother? I treated him with a heart so hard that I was willing to die, but he poisoned me!?"

Yao Guangxiao is old and usually calm, but now he is a little confused... The "he" in the mouth of the prince obviously refers to the king of Gaoyang Zhu Gaoxu!In front of him, Shizi was obviously emotional, very emotional.This made Yao Guangxiao faintly worried.

Yao Guangxiao's big plans and lifelong ambitions are at this time, and he doesn't want to make troubles at such a juncture!First of all the timing is wrong.

Secondly, Yao Guangxiao has always been closer to the prince, and has never liked the violent|ruthless King Gaoyang, but he has not yet reached the point where he insists on confronting King Gaoyang head-on.

Before Yao Guangxiao asked Yuan Gong to find Du Qianrui, the main reason was to put a son next to King Gaoyang, that's all...

First, I tried to get Du Qianrui to talk about Jun Yingcao, but I just wanted to lure|lure her to betray King Gao Yang; as long as she betrayed him once, she would not be able to turn back, and she would always be under the control from now on!The point is, later.

Moreover, the matter of King Gaoyang's poisoning, if the witnesses were obtained, would be a handle in Yao Guangxiao's hands.Do you want to make a move?When will you make the move?It all depends on the future situation... Of course, no matter what, it is definitely not now.

This method is the same as playing Go.When freeing your hand, place a chess piece on a necessary site in advance, and after countless moves, it may be useful.Because when it is necessary, it is not easy to think of a temporary solution; it is only very early in advance that it is difficult for the opponent to be prepared.

"I want to ask Gao Xu to come to the father and question him face to face!" the son said fiercely.

"It's absolutely impossible!" Yao Guangxiao's face was very ugly, almost like crying.

Is there a fart for playing with that thing at this time?Besides, Du Qianrui's first son has not been installed yet, and there is no way to talk about it. There is no evidence, so what can be questioned?

But the blue blood vessels on Shizi's face were all exposed, and it was not easy to have such a situation in the fat and white flesh.His teeth were clenched tightly, and his voice sounded like a different person.If he hadn't stood in front of the prince, Yao Guangxiao would definitely not be able to hear what the prince said.

The prince gritted his teeth and said, "I must ask him if he is my real brother, whether his heart is black or red! Master Daoyan, you go with me!"

"Your Majesty! Can you listen to my old man's advice today?" Yao Guangxiao said with a bitter face, the wrinkles on his face were almost kneaded together.

"No!" The son said decisively, "I can have room for maneuver in everything, but this is not the only thing I can't do. I will ask you right away! Master Daoyan, can you understand my suffering? On the one hand, I was plotted and poisoned. He almost lost his life, but on the one hand, he was willing to risk his life to help him...Even if I'm stupid, I can't treat me like this..."

The prince grabbed Yao Guangxiao's arm with both hands and shook it violently. His eyes were bloodshot, "Does everyone treat me like a pig? Even my own brothers treat me like this! I live in this world, who cares?" wait for me!"

Yao Guangxiao was speechless, and felt sore in his heart.

"Alas!" Yao Guangxiao could only let out a long sigh.Although Shizi is an adult, he is still too young, and he needs to experience a little more... However, judging from his intentions, he is indeed a kind and honest person by nature, not as treacherous and rascal as some people.This is a weakness, but it is also the reason why Yao Guangxiao is close to him.

"If your son insists on doing this, I still want you to listen to me again." Yao Guangxiao glanced at him with his triangular eyes, his gaze was very strange, "Based on my many years of experience in knowing people, King Gaoyang is very treacherous, and he will definitely not give in like this. Just ask him like that, it’s useless to ask.”

Yao Guangxiao sighed again, "This is the end of the matter, the old man is helpless, there is a way that is not a solution. When the son saw him, don't say that he suspected it because someone in Yan Wang's mansion was poisoned, just said that there was a servant in the capital's mansion. I saw King Gaoyang pulling away the King Shadow Grass."

After hearing this, the prince was silent for a moment, "He wants to ask where did you pull the Junyingcao?"

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he regained some confidence in the son, and the son is also a thoughtful person.Yao Guangxiao quickly said, "That Monarch Shadow Grass likes yin and doesn't like yang, so you say it's in a dark corner of the mansion. If he doesn't let go, you say you forgot to ask the servant carefully."
