Seduction

The night gradually deepened, and the original little moonlight disappeared.Wuzheng's medicine was ready, and the porridge was delivered, and he was lying in the room for entertaining guests, tossing and turning.To be honest, the current Gu Qing is also pitiful. She used to live a luxurious life in the Gu mansion, but now she can only drink some porridge to fill her stomach. After today, there will be no tomorrow.

If Gu Qing died tonight, Zhan Xingruo might be angry with him when he came back. Wu Zheng hadn’t seen Zhan Xingruo angry much before, and he didn’t even dare to think about it. sleep.

Wu Zheng had just arrived at the main mansion, seeing that the soldiers guarding each layer were still in good spirits, so he was relieved a little.

When he arrived at the door, he saw the maid squatting down to doze off, Wu Zheng coughed lightly, and the maid stood up in a panic.

"Mother, the crown prince atones for his sins," said the maid.

Wu Zheng waved his hand, "It's human nature to be tired and sleepy, I understand it, it's been hard for you these two days, you have to keep an eye on what's going on with the master inside, and go in when you're called." After arguing, the maid nodded quickly, "By the way, what did he call you?" No dispute asked.

"No, no." The maid said.

"I never called you." Wu Zheng muttered in a low voice, "Isn't he dead..." He was about to open the door when the maid stopped him, "Ah, His Royal Highness, he, he went out."

"Going out?" Wu Zheng stopped pushing the door, startled.

"Yes." The maid nodded, perhaps suddenly woke up from her sleep, and without thinking about it, Wu Zheng asked immediately, "Where can I find out?"

"It seems that he asked where the river is, and I told him there is a river in Luohua Temple." The maid said.

Wu Zheng's heart sank, he was afraid that Gu Qing would throw himself into the river.He still pushed the door open, went to the room and rummaged around, and found that Gu Qing was really not in the room, so he immediately turned his head and told people to look for it separately.

A guard of the prince's mansion, armor collided, and there was a rush of running.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they all stopped, only to see Gu Qing walking back tremblingly with her whole body wet.

Wu Zheng had already changed his clothes and put on his sword, and was about to ride his horse to find him, but he didn't want to grab the rein as soon as the horse's hoof was raised, and almost fell over.

"Gu Qing?"

Gu Qing looked up at him feebly, "It's me." He said.

"You!" Wu Zheng gritted his teeth, and the horse turned around, "Why did you leave suddenly?"

"I don't know that I have to report to His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I will trouble you." Gu Qing said, when the guards saw the person the prince was looking for, they dispersed one after another. Gu Qing frowned and covered her ears with her hands, "It's so noisy Ah." He said to himself, "It's so noisy..." Before he finished speaking, he felt his legs go limp, and his eyes were suddenly dark.

"Gu Qing!" Wu Zheng still hadn't dissipated, and he was waiting for Gu Qing to explain, but saw him falling straight forward without any signs, but fortunately the guards reacted quickly, and he didn't let his face touch the ground directly.

"Take it back and pass it on to the imperial physician!" Wu Zheng shouted.

When the imperial doctor rushed over, Gu Qing had already woken up by herself. The old imperial doctor was sweating from running, and before he could catch his breath, he knelt down to feel Gu Qing's pulse.

"You don't have to worry about this moment, take a rest." Gu Qing said, "I'll get you a cup of tea."

"You can't move, you can't move." The imperial physician pressed Gu Qing, "The old minister is not thirsty, the old minister is not thirsty."

"Okay." Gu Qing lay back obediently and nodded.The imperial physician slowed down a bit, and began to pinch Gu Qing's pulse.

Wu Zheng stood aside with a sad face, his heart itching with anger, if he couldn't speak loudly because he felt his pulse, he really wanted to ask Gu Qing, what kind of muscle was wrong, dare to run out by himself?Zhang Jiyao probably didn't expect him to be so bold and ran out by himself, but if Zhang Jiyao kept some eyeliner on Gu Qing, he would have died in the wilderness long ago.

Wu Zheng was calm, and planned to have a good chat with Gu Qing after the crown prince finished his diagnosis. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, when the maid slipped in and whispered, "Prince, General Chen please see me."

Wu Zheng opened his eyes, "Chen Jiang is here?" He asked, "Go out and talk. It's inconvenient."

As soon as Wu Zheng went out, he saw Chen Jiang haggard all over.

"What's wrong with General Chen?" Wu Zheng asked with a frown.

Chen Jiang shook his head, "His Royal Highness, Gu, is Gu Chengyuan okay?" He asked.

Wu Zheng shook his head, "I can't diagnose his illness, so I can only take some mild medicine to delay. Ah Li went to find someone, and I heard that Gu Qing treated the wound on his waist, and the method of medicine was different from that of Zhongyuan. The same, maybe this evil poison can be cured.”

"That's good." Chen Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have drawn that shot. I knew it was the general's..." Chen Jiang stopped suddenly while speaking.

"What does it have to do with you?" Wu Zheng said, "General Chen doesn't need to blame himself."

Chen Jiang let out a long sigh and had no choice but to nod.

"I came here to discuss the military affairs in the northwest with the prince's military advisor, but I didn't expect the military advisor to be away."

The two sat on the small stone table in front of the Prince's main residence, Wu Zheng asked the maid to step back, "Ah Li hasn't come back these two days, if you trust me, why not tell me first." Wu Zheng said.

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. It's just that Military Master Zhan told me last time that Zhang Jiyao had plotted against him. I have no evidence, but I chose to believe Military Master Zhan." Chen Jiang said, and Wu Zheng blinked.

"Then what do you think at this moment, is your choice correct or not?" Wu Wu asked.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have come." Chen Jiang replied in a low voice.

"The army from the Northwest sent me a letter saying that the barbarians' offensive went up and down, uncharacteristically."

"How is it usually?" No dispute asked.

"I have been in the Northwest for more than ten years, and I know the barbarian's fighting style. The frontal attack is as fierce as a tiger, and the ambush is as deep as a snake. It is not like what it is now. When we touch it, we run away, and we will fight back when we are about to retreat." Chen Jiang said. , "They can't shake our Northwest Army in such a short period of time, but if we continue to fight like this, our consumption will be quite appalling."

Wu Zheng frowned, "That's true." He said, "Then what does General Chen think? Is there a countermeasure?"

Chen Jiang shook his head, "I only read a few words on the letter, how can I have specific countermeasures, I can't help if I don't go back to the northwest."

"Maybe go back?" No dispute.

"That's the problem." Chen Jiang frowned, "Dare to ask the prince, once the minister leaves, whose army is left in the imperial city?"

"Kong Fuyi." Wu Zheng replied without hesitation. He understood the meaning of Chen Jiang's words. If he left, the capital would lose the force to temporarily check and balance Zhang Jiyao. If Zhang Jiyao did something right now, Wu Zheng would be completely unable to deal with it. .

"Not completely," Wu Zheng thought for a while, "The imperial guards are still there."

Chen Jiang shook his head, "I'm afraid the imperial guards are dead in name only. They only listen to the emperor's dispatch and only recognize the emperor's tiger charm, but the emperor is now indifferent to military affairs..."

Wu Zheng was taken aback, "Chen Jiang, don't talk nonsense."

"I understand." Chen Jiang said immediately, "I just feel that the current situation, the capital may soon be reduced to a place of flames of war. If it is true what Military Master Zhan said, the Taiwei wants to instigate rebellion, and the military power is in his hands. If He swallowed the capital directly, and if I stay now, it can still make him feel worried, if I leave, I'm afraid I will fall into his plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

"Then you stay." Wu Zheng said, "Now is the time of life and death, what the general said is true."

"But if I stay, what will happen to the Northwest camp? The commander is not there, and the barbarians are fighting in chaos. Zhang Jiyao, like me, cannot go to the battlefield in person, but he gives orders randomly with a soldier's talisman."

"Wait." Wu Zheng called to stop him.

"You said that Zhang Jiyao commanded the Northwest army remotely?"

"Exactly." Chen Jiang nodded, "Not only that, the grain and grass in the northwest are almost gone, the Taiwei Mansion has not responded for a long time, the letter asking for grain and grass has been sent countless times, the deputy general really didn't know what to do, so he wrote the letter Give me."

Wuzheng took a deep breath, "But why is he doing this? He wants to disturb you? I don't know why."

"I have to go back now to ensure that the situation in the northwest can be stabilized, but if I can't ensure that the imperial guards can be dispatched in time when there is danger, I dare not leave easily. At first I told the minister that Zhang Jiyao was the one who instigated Zhang Jiyao's rebellion. That's why I wanted to ask." Ask Junjun Zhan what he means."

"Zhang Jiyao cut off the food and grass in the northwest, and gave random orders to disperse the army in the northwest. The barbarian offensive was strong and weak. You are afraid that the imperial guards will not move and dare not go back. Is this the case?" Wu Zheng thought for a moment and concluded.

"Exactly."

"To be honest, I don't know if the imperial guards are active or not. The tiger amulet has always been in the hands of the emperor, and I have no right to ask. Even if you find Ah Li, he can't guarantee you." Wu Zheng sighed.

"Then...then what should I do?"

"General Chen has been fighting in the northwest all year round, and he rarely returns to Beijing. I don't know what the current situation is in the court. There are no less open swords and hidden arrows in the court than on the battlefield. Throughout the dynasties, the emperors have tried their best to suppress the clan and raise the gentry, but you What about now?" Chen Jiang shook his head without arguing.

"Now the gentry form gangs to protect each other. The clan princes have a false name, and the monarch's power is weak. In order to stabilize the clan, the emperor divided their territories and divided them. The right to select officials and employ people belongs to the gentry. The result is the current situation. Officials protect each other , protected under the eyes of the emperor."

"The leader of the gentry is Zhang Jiyao?" Chen Jiang asked.

"That's right. The gentry is in chaos, Zhang Jiyao is in charge of the military, and the clan has long since lost their place. What's more, the father has always been afraid of the clan, and he still refuses to transfer some rights to the in-laws." Wu Zheng went to Gu Qing's room After looking at it, he found that there was no movement, so he turned his head to discuss with Chen Jiang.

"A few months ago, there was a severe drought in Yuezhu. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, Gu Qing came out halfway and saved Yuezhu's life. Without the rice he brought in at the beginning, Yuezhu would not be able to survive." Only Gu Qing Wu Zheng can only say good things to him when he can't hear the feelings, but Wu Zheng has a clear love and hate in his heart, and helping is counting as helping, and kidnapping Zhan Xing is another matter.

"I have heard about this." Chen Jiang nodded.

"Zhang Jiyao colluded with Tianguan, sent a letter to Lu Xian, asked Lu Xian to send troops to attack Yuezhu, and transferred you and Kong Fuyi back, but have you ever thought about it? Head to head."

Chen Jiang frowned, thinking that this was indeed the case.

"This…"
