According to the late emperor's attitude towards the eldest princess and the degree of control over the court, although Zhao Ruhui would not dare to say unconscionably that the late emperor was the lord of the prosperous age, it is undeniable that the late emperor's desire for power control made him centralize power. At a fairly heyday, under the control of the shadow guards and dark guards, almost everyone is in danger and dare not make mistakes.

In addition to the heavy use of shadow guards and dark guards to supervise courtiers, his power over the princes has also been weakened again and again. The policy that is almost identical to the "Tweeting Order" has greatly reduced the power of the princes and princes in the border areas in recent years, and they are falling apart day by day. , It can be said that Zhao Ruhui has saved a lot of trouble.

But under the current situation, Zhao Ruhui's eyes could really be caught, and the princes and princes whose names were named in that infighting did not exceed the number of palms.

Jinping is the fiefdom of King Jin Wen. If it comes to seniority, Zhao Ruhui might have to call this King Jin Wen an uncle, or a real uncle.He and the first emperor were brothers of the same father and mother, so among the many princes who were sent to the fringe areas, Jinping was considered relatively wealthy.Although there is no brother in front of the royal family, Zhao Ruhui heard the late emperor mention this uncle several times before he succeeded to the throne, and it is said that he is quite an honest person.

Of course, Zhao Ruhui would not blindly believe in the evaluation of the first emperor. What really made him lower the suspicion of King Jin Wen was the description in that book—among the princes, the "King Jin Wen" because of his closer blood The relationship is also relatively exclusive.In the end, it was indeed pushed out as a gunman, and it didn't even make it to the end of the plan to besiege the princess.

——Presumably no one would treat Jin Ping as a worthless abandoned child after working so hard to gain the real power to control Jin Ping, right?

However, after finding out that the possibility of King Ping's manipulation and infiltration is not high, Zhao Ruhui did not remove it from the list of key inspections, but chose to use his power for personal gain and assigned it to He Zhizhou.

He Zhizhou is not really a canary kept in a cage. Zhao Ruhui can't really keep him in captivity for the rest of his life. This is disrespect for him and himself.But other than that, it's understandable to be worried. Even if you believe in his strength, you don't want him to take any risks, do you?

But even if it was well thought out, when it was time to implement it, Zhao Ruhui once again had the idea of ​​regretting it.

"Do you want to go alone with you?"

"Your Majesty... this is just an investigation mission, and you are gone, what should we do in Beijing?" He Zhizhou held a huge package in his hand, and kept taking out some bulky and impractical things from it. Take out a set of cotton coats?

"Jinping is in the north, it's very cold." Zhao Ruhui shivered her body artificially as she spoke, and looked at He Zhizhou with a sad face, as if she was looking at a child who didn't know how to empathize with her worries.At the same time, he still didn't forget to curse in his heart the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had been looking for trouble for him. If it wasn't for Hongyuan's small tricks that required him to sit in Beijing, Zhao Ruhui would have used the tried-and-tested method to make An Yi Dingbao, went out by himself for honeymoon with his lovely Zhizhou.

"Subordinates have internal protection—" He Zhizhou replied, but seeing Zhao Ruhui's face of disapproval, he still chose to surrender. "It takes up too much space. If I need it, I can just buy it."

Only then did Zhao Ruhui reluctantly compromise, "Is the silver belt enough?"

"That's enough. If it's not enough, I'll sell the pearls you gave to my subordinates. There will definitely be more." He Zhizhou took the initiative to tease with a slight smile, apparently thinking of the way he used this method when he was in the Princess's mansion. It was as if Zhao Ruhui was speechless, and even gave him his purse.

But this time, although Zhao Ruhui also looked resentful, he didn't stop him. Instead, he took out a pendant from his neck.

The pendant is simple, square, and doesn't even have extra decorative patterns, but even so, the delicate, bright, warm and flawless sheep fat jade is already a priceless treasure in this world!

He Zhizhou was slightly surprised, but Zhao Ruhui didn't show any extra expressions, but just put the pendant on his neck.

"The pearls are not worth a lot of money. If there is any accident, it will not solve the urgent need, but this one is different," Zhao Ruhui said in a nonchalant joke, "Even if you sell this one, you can buy it back. Don't feel bad, bad Sell ​​as much as you want, if anyone dares to buy, it’s fine if the price is fair, if you buy it at a low price, it’s bad luck for him, and we’ll talk about it after a few days of detention.”

However, He Zhizhou keenly sensed some different meanings from it, and only intuitively felt that it was not just a precious treasure in terms of value.He touched the pendant hesitantly, and just when he hesitated whether he should return it, he was keenly aware of the different tactile sensations from the bottom of the pendant, and subconsciously picked it up for a closer look.

This is the only place where this flawless suet white jade has been carved with patterns. It is not a fine flower and bird or auspicious meaning, but a very small character - which does not exist in folk circulation, but only Special small characters that people with special status can know and recognize.

Even if He Zhizhou didn't take out the ugly handkerchief with his name embroidered on it that he had received in Chaozhou before, he could still keenly know that the pattern on it was exactly the same except for the smaller size.

It turns out that this is not a so-called pendant, but a private seal that truly represents imperial power!

Naturally, He Zhizhou didn't dare to accept such a meaningful thing, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it down, but Zhao Ruhui seemed to know what he meant a long time ago, firmly squeezed his hand, and shook his head slightly at him.

Zhao Ruhui's expression was very serious, obviously this was not a casual joke on his part, but something he had thought about for a long time.

"Do you still remember the handkerchief I gave you before? That is also a private seal, but it is not complete, so it can only be used as an oral order. But the remaining half, I will give it to you now. There is no need for specific For those who don’t need a specific time, print the cinnabar, put this small seal upside down in the center, then it is an imperial decree - dark guards, army, everything is for you to drive, dismiss from office, kill the king, all things in the world are for you to make decisions .”

The two small seals are turned upside down, which is exactly the same seal as the jade seal in the palace.Today, besides Zhao Ruhui, the person who knows this secret has finally added another name.

"Zhizhou..."

Zhao Ruhui looked at him and sighed deeply.

"This is the last guarantee Gu can give you."

"protect yourself."
