Demolition

I don’t know who thought the incident was not big enough, and soon the legend of the three-legged crow spread to the capital. What the capital lacked most were fresh materials and strange people who compiled them. They began to give various names to the three-legged crow, such as "Son of God", "Sage of Fire Wheel", "Golden Tiger" and so on. The world bears the burden of humiliation, and falls in love with a civilian girl by chance. Anyway, how it is so bizarre and eye-catching, I won’t go into details here.

In short, the three-legged crow has indeed spread all over the streets and alleys.In fact, ordinary ordinary people and even those ninth-rank sesame officials really don’t care who can win the world. For them, the world is to have food and drink to support the family. These stories are just to pass the time. Time to spice up the boring life.But it was not the case when it reached Emperor Ying's ears.

In fact, the emperor is the most easily deceived person in the world. The palace that sees the sky, the flattering officials, it is difficult to hear the truth, and now even the stones in the hut in the palace probably know the story, Sakura It's hard for the emperor not to worry.From Anqing Mansion to Yangyue City and then to this impenetrable imperial palace, it spans several regions and has been passed on by word of mouth. The gust of wind blowing here and there can quickly start a prairie fire.If the "instability of the country" mentioned before was just a threat, now it is really imminent.In the past, there was the hypocrisy of the Northern Kingdom, and later, there were pirates watching over it. If there is a crack in the interior, it will give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The sixth prince was released from the foot restraint order, and was called to the front of the palace every day to be scolded bloody by Emperor Ying. Ying Yuanzhi was also affected by anger, and was frequently criticized.Although it's none of his business, he is in charge of the Yin Xiao Tower, and he has to deal with all the crows in the world, but Ying Yuanzhi just sits and does nothing, pushes three things and blocks four things calmly, and he doesn't do less. They were dispatched batch after batch, so there must be a waiting time, anyway, they used the word 'drag' as a token.There is nothing wrong with Ying Yuanzhi's attitude, Emperor Ying couldn't find anyone to vent his anger, Ying Xiuzhi was the unlucky one.The imperial concubine can at most help him stabilize his position in Emperor Ying's heart, but I really can't intervene in the matter of scolding my son.

However, the sixth prince Ying Xiuzhi is really a character. In the past few years, he has cultivated not only a good reputation but also a good temper among the ministers and officials at all levels.No matter beating or scolding, he will never return his words, and when the love is strong, he can cooperate with crying and weeping. The father and son are deeply in love, and barely earn an impression in front of Emperor Ying, and keep their status. Ying Yuanzhi saw The way he looked was just disgusting.So what about the imperial concubine, a concubine is always a concubine, and the son born by a concubine is indeed three points softer than others.

"Third brother."

The two were scolded again, and were kicked out of the study by Emperor Ying. It was rare for the sixth prince to call Ying Yuanzhi to stop, and Ying Yuanzhi didn't mind showing a brotherly love.

"Sixth brother."

"Third brother has worked hard these days. It's all my brother's fault. My brother is here to make amends."

"Sixth brother is too far-fetched, I'm just doing things for my father. Besides, you and I are brothers, so there's no such thing as apologizing."

I thought it was over here, but the sixth prince suddenly stepped forward

"Third brother wait a moment, third brother's jade pendant is not in the right place, younger brother should re-attach it."

Ying Yuanzhi didn't know what the other party was up to, but it seemed too deliberate to back off at this time, so he had to stay still and let the other party be close to his right side.

"Third brother is really good at writing."

Ying Yuanzhiquan regarded himself as a deaf person, but Ying Xiuzhi smiled and didn't mind the other party's indifference, and continued:

"I know that my third brother has always done things neatly. I just said that at this time. If I really want to find out, I will never find the third brother to blame. But what I can't figure out is why the third brother is so soft-hearted to me this time? Third brother, you originally Are you going to kill me?"

"Tens of thousands of crows raided the Anqing Mansion, and nearly [-]% of the people in the city were killed or injured. I would rather sacrifice my status as the owner of the Yinxiao Building to pull my younger brother down. I didn't expect the third brother to have such courage as a strong man. My younger brother is really ashamed of himself." It’s just that the third brother knows why I escaped from the seamless plan? Is it really my brother’s luck?” Ying Xiuzhi paused like a trick, and said in an almost inaudible voice, “Isn’t the third brother Are you still in the dark? But my younger brother knows it clearly."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Ying Yuanzhi couldn't bear his mystification, and whispered

"Hey, what's the matter with third brother? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't you want to watch me cut into pieces and tortured before you die? It's not that my younger brother can't help third brother, but third brother, if I Losing to a trash who can't even control his own people, I really don't want to be reconciled."

Ying Yuanzhi raised his eyes, his expression was calm, Ying Xiuzhi patted the jade pendant that was fastened again, looked into Ying Yuanzhi's eyes and said

"Since you didn't kill me this time, I won't be polite next time."

Ying Yuanzhi watched the other party's figure disappear at the end of the palace road.What is he saying?What's the meaning?Don't be misled by him, Ji Xiang will never betray me, and neither will Zhong Tian. As for Mr. Qi, it's just a knife for killing people, and the others don't know anything about it.There are no traitors around me at all!Ying Yuanzhi's eyes suddenly became poisonous, and a small official passing by was so frightened that he knelt beside him with a "slap"

"Three princes."

"roll."

Ying Yuanzhi puts on his robe and walks away.

Is Ying Xiuzhi bluffing, or does he really know something?Impossible, Ying Yuanzhi carefully recalled all the procedures and details.No, there is nothing missing, what is he talking about?Who is he talking about?

Jade pendant!Ying Yuanzhi carefully looked at this jade pendant that he had been carrying for more than ten years. It was as moist as milk and exuded a charming luster. You could even feel a warmth when you touched it.It is a good piece of jade.Good jade.Good jade?Good jade!

"Zhongtian!"

Sakura Touyuki almost tore his throat and shouted

"The subordinates are here!"

Ying Yuanzhi realized his gaffe, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, suppressing his inner fluctuations,

"Lu Chen, are you sure you've reached the north?"

"Subordinate to confirm."

"When did he pass by?"

"Ninth day of October."

"Why is it five days later than expected."

"Master Lu lost the document and didn't use the cherry card, so he was delayed for a few days on the road. Master Lu explained everything in the documents he submitted."

"Have you verified it?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, all the locations recorded by Mr. Lu have been investigated by his subordinates, and the identities are all consistent."

"He's in the north now?"

"Although the Honggu Temple in the North Country has not yet sent an official document, the subordinates have already heard that there is a cherry blossom card in the North Country, and they can't fake it if they think about it."

Ying Yuanzhi pondered for a while, then said viciously

"If this matter is false, you don't have to live. Get lost."

Just as Zhong Tian wanted to back down, Ying Yuanzhi stopped him again.

"and many more."

Zhongtian got up halfway and knelt back again. Ying Yuanzhi thought for a while and told him:

"Let's put other things aside first, and you personally lead someone to check the people in the house."

Zhong Tian was obviously taken aback, hesitated for a moment and asked

"I don't know what His Highness means?"

"Start checking in 16. Since then, the identities of the people who came in have been in private contacts. Even if they leave later, don't let them go. Especially check their connection with the Southeast Palace."

"My subordinate understands."

"Don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

Ying Yuanzhi smiled coldly, he was able to establish a good relationship with civil and military officials, and even in this situation, many people risked their heads to express their love for him in front of Emperor Ying. underestimate.Lian reached out to his mansion for so many years, but he didn't know anything about it.If it wasn't for his vain attempt to provoke himself to show his feet today, he would still be kept in the dark.

"I want to see, who can't control the people under him."

"Who made His Highness so angry?"

As soon as Zhongtian left, Ji Lan stepped in. Ying Yuanzhi put away his expression and stood up to greet him.

"It's just that the people in the house are a little stupid, I will teach you a lesson."

"Your Highness's lesson must not be easy. I saw General Zhongtian's face is not very good." Ji Lan was rarely in the mood to laugh, and Ying Yuanzhi felt a little more relaxed after seeing it.

"Ji Xiang's appearance must be some good news."

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, but there is one thing I would like to ask Your Highness to consider."

Ji Lan leaned over and said in a low voice like this

"You mean to ask me to ask the emperor to go to Anqing Mansion to investigate in person?"

"Exactly."

Ying Yuanzhi frowned, "This is a thankless job. Could it be that I really shut up those people's mouths? Didn't you keep telling me not to get involved in this matter? Besides, I'm not in the capital to watch at such critical moments. , what should I do if something goes wrong?"

"Your Highness, nothing will go wrong in the capital."

"Oh?"

"This time, Mr. Qi decided to try it himself."

"You mean, to be in..."

"That's right, this time we're going to make a big difference. Your Highness' request at this time will not only greatly increase your favor in front of the emperor, but also avoid the current situation where the court is too stalemate. The most important thing is that you can personally supervise Mr. Qi. Sir, there is news that this time there is a great possibility of success, if it is true, there must be a big difference when His Highness returns."

"gentlemen!"

"Your Highness, the old minister will of course risk his life to serve His Highness, but you still have to walk the road you have to walk, whether it is easier or harder. Your Highness, please think again."

Ying Yuanzhi was thinking about Ji Lan's words, but his thoughts drifted to other places.If I can really go to Anqing Mansion, then everything will be settled.His fingers slowly brushed the jade pendant around his waist.

"What you said is very true." Ying Yuanzhi saluted Ji Lan solemnly.

Seven days later, the third prince Ying was ordered by the emperor to go on a tour. On the day of departure, not even an ant could be seen beside the vermilion gate of Yangyue City. A Heavenly Soldier was added, and they were all saying that the third prince was going to kill the three-legged crow, and if the crow was dismantled, the third prince would have made a great contribution.Ying Yuanzhi rode on the horse, looking expressionlessly at the familiar street scene behind him.Every plant, tree, brick, and tile here is clear to him. After staying here for decades, this is the first time he feels very clearly that he can start, and he has a strong desire to understand this place that carries the world. The city of the most precious and alluring power.
