After Fu Xi left, Zhao Xun stayed in the side hall for nearly half an hour.

Then he found a cloak and put it on, and put on the windproof hood, and left the side hall and walked towards the east side of Changning Palace.

Since he entered the palace, Li Yue did not restrict his freedom, fearing that he would get bored, and specially gave him a pass token so that he could move freely in the palace, but he is not a lively person, and he never Went out of Ninghe Hall.

This time, he didn't say hello, and didn't even bring his entourage, and went out by himself.

There are palace gates in the east, west, north and south of the palace, and there are guard rooms near each palace gate, and there is a courtyard called Shenwuju near the east palace gate, which is the place where the forbidden army handles military affairs. The forbidden army with military rank can live here all the year round. .

Zhao Xun went straight to Shenwuju. The guard on duty saw his token and went to pass it on. After a while, a man in military uniform came out. It was Zhao Qingming.

When Zhao Qingming saw the person coming, Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he was able to keep a distance of two steps, as if he was avoiding something.

"Third Prince, with all due respect, I am the commander of the imperial army, and I am responsible for the safety of the entire imperial palace and His Majesty. In your capacity, it is not appropriate to come to see me alone."

Not to mention that Zhao Xun is Da Xia's proton, just based on his relationship with Li Yue, the men in the palace should avoid suspicion when they see him.But Zhao Xun came to the door on his own initiative, so Zhao Qingming naturally didn't dare to be careless, for fear that there would be some bad words about the matter.

"Commander Zhao, don't be nervous, you and I can talk at this door, if I don't enter the house." Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Qingming is also a martial artist, he really didn't invite anyone into the house, and said: "Then forgive me for offending, the third prince has something to say."

"As for the winter hunting, I wonder if Commander Zhao sent someone to the hunting ground?" Zhao Xun asked.

"Why is the third prince interested in this?" Zhao Qingming asked without answering.

"Your Majesty is bound to win this winter hunt. Commander Zhao should share His Majesty's worries with this matter." Zhao Xun said.

"Your Majesty is good at riding and shooting, so it is inevitable. I am only responsible for your Majesty's safety. Other things are not my job, and I can't take care of them." Zhao Qingming said.

It is human nature for him to be so vigilant, Zhao Xun is a person close to Li Yue in name, he should not ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty and even everything related to Li Yue, let alone come to see Zhao Qingming alone.

Zhao Qingming was able to sit in the position of commander at a young age, so he was naturally not a good match. He was loyal to Li Yue, so he could only be loyal to Li Yue.No matter what Zhao Xun's identity is, even if a different person came today, he has nothing else to say.

However, Zhao Xun didn't care at all, and his expression was as calm as ever.

"Your Majesty is going to do big things. This winter hunt is an excellent opportunity to build up your prestige. Commander Zhao is only in charge of defense. I'm afraid he is too conservative." Zhao Xun said.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingming's expression finally loosened. The turmoil in the court today has spread throughout the entire imperial city, so he naturally knows about it.

No matter what his status is, he is on Li Yue's side, so he will still consider anything that is beneficial to Li Yue, as long as it does not violate the basic principles.

"What is the third prince's opinion?" Zhao Qingming asked.

"All the people who participated in the winter hunting, the bows and arrows and the horses are distributed uniformly, everyone is very fair. If you want your Majesty to win, you have to play some tricks." Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Qingming's complexion finally changed when he heard the words, and he turned sideways and said, "It's windy outside, please come inside, Third Prince, for a cup of hot tea."

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "No need, I appreciate Commander Zhao's prudence, but I hope Commander Zhao can continue as usual."

Zhao Qingming didn't insist on hearing the words, but he waved his hand to screen away the surrounding guards.

"Third Prince, please tell me." Zhao Qingming said.

"The terrain of the hunting ground is the only point that can be broken through." Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Qingming was puzzled when he heard the words, so he asked Zhao Xun one or two questions, Zhao Xun patiently answered him one by one, and the two murmured about how much time it takes to have a cup of tea.

It was windy outside, and Zhao Xun couldn't stand it after staying too long, and sneezed twice.Zhao Qingming really couldn't bear it, fearing that he would really get sick from the cold, so he took his own cloak and wrapped Zhao Xun up again.

The body has warmed up a lot, but Zhao Xun's complexion is still not very good.

"Will Your Majesty disdain cheating?" Zhao Qingming asked.

"This is a power struggle, not a battle of spirits." Zhao Xun said.

Relying on light and justice will not win the country.Since ancient times, those who have been able to rise to the top have conspiracies and schemes, and they will do everything. The only difference is success and failure.

Of course, Zhao Xun would not want Li Yue to be an unscrupulous person, but in his opinion, it is harmless to use a little trick on this kind of matter.

After all, those who participated in the winter hunting were all royal nobles, and it was not related to the future and fate like the imperial examination. To put it bluntly, the win or loss of the winter hunting was just the level of the participants' face. its used.

Zhao Qingming was still a little worried: "But Your Majesty has always..."

"It's you and me who are planning, it has nothing to do with him, if you don't want to embarrass him, just don't tell him." Zhao Xun said lightly.

Hiding it from Li Yue?Then the nature of the matter changed again.

When Zhao Xun saw Zhao Qingming's expression, he knew what he was thinking, but Zhao Qingming's hesitation was really rare in his opinion.No matter how great the interests are in front of him, the other party always thinks of loyalty.

And this loyalty is really important to a commander of the forbidden army.

"Commander Zhao, you don't need to rush to answer this matter. There is still more than half a month before the winter hunt, and you have plenty of time to think about it." Zhao Xun said: "When necessary, you can ask others for their opinions."

It is self-evident who this other person is referring to. Zhao Qingming and Liu Li have a good relationship. Few people in the court know about it, but Li Yue knows it. Li Yue knows that Zhao Xun also knows it.Since Zhao Xun did not hide Liu Li's secrets, Zhao Qingming trusted him even more.

Having said that, Zhao Xun didn't want to stay, so he said his goodbyes and left in a hurry.

After Zhao Xun left, Zhao Qingming remembered that his cloak was still on Zhao Xun!

After Zhao Xun returned to the side hall, his head became dizzy.He loves to be pure on weekdays, and the palace servants who serve him are all forbidden, so he doesn't even have anyone to look after him.

He poured himself a glass of cold water and downed it in one gulp, then fell down on the couch and fell asleep.

After noon, Li Yue finally calmed down, but he was still full of displeasure.He didn't have much appetite either, so he wanted to find Zhao Xun to have lunch together.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he happened to see a young eunuch and a young maid discussing something, so he suddenly stopped.Fu Xi followed behind, seeing this, she could only keep silent.

It's rare for this little ancestor to have the mood to eavesdrop on the nonsense of the slaves, but it's also rare.Not for anything else, probably thinking that the other party is Zhao Xun's servant, so he wants to hear something he doesn't know.

"The style of this cloak looks like that of the imperial guards, why is it here?" a little eunuch asked.

A maid's voice said: "This is what the third prince wore back. I was about to send it to be washed, but I haven't had time yet."

"The third prince stays in the side hall all day, how can he have the cloak of the forbidden army? Don't tell lies, be careful to let His Majesty hear you." The little eunuch said.

The maid hurriedly said: "How can I be lying, you can see for yourself."

Another little eunuch came over and said: "The third prince went out in the morning, and he came back almost an hour ago. I don't know where he went."

"This... it can't be that he was with some forbidden army outside..." the first young eunuch boldly guessed.But before he could finish speaking, he was startled by a light cough.

Then Fu Xi came out and said sharply: "Bold slaves, even discussing the rights and wrongs of the master, I think your necks are itchy!"

When the three of them saw Li Yue standing behind Fuxi, they were frightened and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Li Yue glanced at the cloak expressionlessly, and then said, "Fuxi, can you see if that cloak belongs to the Imperial Army?"

Fuxi groaned secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey. He stepped forward to take a look at the cloak, and then said: "Your Majesty, it belongs to the imperial army. Judging from the regulations, it should be above rank four."

"That's right. Today I told the third prince to deliver something to the commander of the imperial army. He is not in good health. I was afraid that he would not be able to stand the cold when he went there, so he came back wearing a cloak." Li Yue said.

Fu Xi hurriedly said yes and yes, but both he and Li Yue knew the truth.

Early in the morning Li Yue suffered such a great grievance, Fuxi came to call for someone, but Zhao Xun didn't go.Although Li Yue didn't let Fuxi come to find Zhao Xun, he couldn't hide the fact that Fuxi had been here. Li Yue naturally knew that Zhao Xun didn't go to see him.

"How do you servants serve the master? Don't you know how to add clothes to the third prince when he goes out?" Li Yue said coldly.

As soon as this remark came out, the servants on the ground began to kowtow again.

Li Yue took a deep breath and said: "You will be punished for half a year. If I hear rumors about arranging the third prince in the palace, I will cut off your tongues."

The three of them kowtowed to express their gratitude, but were driven away by Fuxi.

"Your Majesty, are you still going in?" Fuxi asked cautiously.

Li Yue was silent for a moment and said: "I have a headache and want to go back to sleep."

After finishing speaking, the young man turned around and left, Fuxi hurriedly followed behind, couldn't help but sighed.Xindao, this little ancestor, how has he ever been wronged like this!

What a sin!
