miscalculation

Since Ji Ze gradually recovered, he commanded Ji Lan to attack all the way to the Dian King City. Xiao Liang took Yang Yushu's summary of the art of war to study every day, and he became more and more sophisticated, and he had a lot of experience in the way of using troops.

In front of Ji Ze, neither of them dared to get too close, but after all they couldn't hide it from his eyes.On this day, Ji Ze went to Ji Lan alone and asked, "Jing Bo, you once saved His Royal Highness King Qin. There is something to be overstepped, don't forget that he is the prince, and you will definitely not make mistakes in the future."

With a guilty conscience, Ji Lan said, "It's not wrong for me to get closer to the prince."

Ji Ze said: "Of course this is a good thing, but everything has to be measured. King Qin doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that others don't care. Who knows who is in this army. When the time comes, I will go back and read your book and tell you You have a close relationship with the King of Qin, and His Majesty suspects that you are forming a clique for personal gain, and that will do no one any good."

Ji Lan smiled wryly: "Brother, we are from the prince's side, and it's no good to form a party with King Qin for personal gain."

Ji Ze said: "It's not good for us, but it's good for His Highness King Qin. Let's not talk about what His Majesty thinks, what do you think the prince will do when he hears this? Do you think your grandfather beats you less?"

Ji Lan clasped her fists and said, "Brother taught me that Jing Bo will pay attention to his proportions."

After that, he kept his distance from Xiao Liang even more, and the latter understood, so he also acted like a prince.The army of Dongling fought all the way to the Dian King City, and a message was sent from Beijing to them to break through the Dian Kingdom.Be kind to other tribes.

What Xiao Yi meant was, of course, to kill a hundred people, but he didn't expect them to surround the Dian King City for three days.The favorite concubine of the king of Dian Kingdom, Zhahe's mother, hanged herself in the palace, but the king of Dian Kingdom had no intention of fighting, so he carried her body into the palace.

All of a sudden, the dragons in Dian Kingdom had no leader, so they could only open the door and surrender.Xiao Liang didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so he stopped embarrassing them, and only beheaded a few ministers who had been in charge of the battle.People from all the tribes sent down forms one after another, and they rectified it. After three months, they returned to the dynasty.

A letter was sent from the center of Beijing saying that Ji Langfeng was seriously ill, and Ji Ze was allowed to return with the army.Hearing this news, the brothers of the Ji family were very anxious and rushed back to Jiangling day and night.Xiao Liang didn't care about his health, he just followed them back to Beijing quickly.

Even so, they walked for a month and a half, and they met Gu Qingmo on the way.Xiao Liang was overjoyed, in this way, the rumors of her running away could be dispelled, and she could just say that she was going to do the secret order he ordered.

At the beginning, Gu Qingmo obviously went after Qin Xin, and I don't know if she chased anyone.However, her expression was sluggish and depressed, so Xiao Liang asked someone to send her a special car to sit in.He specially ordered her to walk slowly, while he followed the Ji brothers to continue on their way.

After they arrived in the capital, the three of them had to go to the palace to meet Xiao Yi first, but Xiao Yi didn't say much.He rewarded the Ji family brothers and left Xiao Liang alone.

Xiao Liang felt uneasy, knowing that he was definitely going to talk about Xiao Cheng, so he could only wait for his instructions.He knew that the more he said, the more wrong he was, so he simply didn't open his mouth.

Xiao Yi had three incense sticks of time, without saying a word, took a sip of tea, and said: "I have already counted your imperial brother's silver taels, and it is not much different from the amount that should be in the Shen Family Tongji Bank. But I really don't understand , you child is too sincere, and you really didn't think about the money at all."

Xiao Liang said: "Qin King/Mansion has everything, and it's useless for my ministers to ask for more money."

Xiao Yi laughed loudly, and said: "I've never seen someone who dislikes a lot of money, and you are even more suspicious, Father."

Xiao Liang said: "My son just thinks that instead of deducting halfway, it's better to ask for a reward from the emperor. In this way, it will be both dignified and beautiful."

Xiao Yi said: "Oh, what kind of reward does Liang'er want?"

Xiao Liang said: "My son... I haven't thought about it yet, why don't I owe it first?"

Xiao Yi said: "Going to the southern border once, I have grown a lot more courageous. Even the emperor has to care about it here, so it's up to you, and you owe it. But this time, the emperor has another reward, and you have to do it. got it."

Xiao Liang was surprised and said: "Father, what do you want to reward?"

Xiao Yi said: "Decree, the king of Qin has done a great job in pacifying the southern border this time, and he bestowed a yellow jacket."

Xiao Liang said: "I thank my father, the emperor."

Xiao Yi raised his hand and said: "It's not over yet. Although you are still young, I have already started looking for a candidate for the King/Concubine of Qin for you. I don't know if you have a favorite woman in your heart?"

Xiao Liang said: "Father! I feel that it is inappropriate to discuss this matter now. After all, the mother and concubine have passed away for less than three years."

Xiao Yi asked: "That's up to you. But I heard that Gu Qingmo was in the army and left for a few days without any reason. Why?"

Xiao Liang said: "Father, it's inconvenient for her to be a girl. I let her be in charge of purchasing military supplies, and she didn't often stay in the camp. At the beginning, she was determined to avenge Qin Xin, so she used lynching when she saw Qin Xin captured. After a few reprimands, she flung her sleeves and left. After all, she is General Gu's beloved daughter, and now that the emperor's wife is dead, I think I can't blame her, lest everyone say that the royal family is harsh on loyal ministers."

Xiao Yi said: "You have thought carefully, so what happened to Qin Xin? Since you have already been captured, how can you be escaped by him?"

Xiao Liang was about to say more, but he stopped when he heard a servant rushing forward.

Xiao Yi frowned and said: "What's the matter? How dare you interrupt my conversation with the King of Qin, what crime should you deserve!"

The servant said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, just now the grand master's mansion sent a letter saying that the old grand master Ji is dying, and the concubine Shu kept kowtowing outside, but she asked to go back to the grand master's mansion to see the old grand master for the last time, with all the love of father and daughter."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said: "I will go with her tomorrow, let her rest first, she has been very ill these days, didn't I tell you to hide the serious illness of the Grand Master, how did you let her know?"

Xiao Liang said: "Father, my son also wants to go to the Grand Master's Mansion to visit his old man. I wonder if we can go together?"

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement, so he didn't ask any more questions, let Xiao Liang go down to rest, and discuss about Qin Xin later.

When Xiao Liang returned to the mansion, seeing Yun Zhao welcoming him at the door, he couldn't help being happy.He pulled Yun Zhao and asked, "Cousin, do you know why the Grand Master suddenly became seriously ill?"

Yun Zhao said: "You don't know. At the beginning, you falsely reported that Ji Ze was dead, in order to lure the enemy into deeper. For some reason, you spread the news to the capital. The old grand master Ji lost his son in middle age, and this is the only one." The two grandsons suddenly became bedridden when they heard the news of Ji Ze's death. He lay in bed for more than a month before the news came that General Ji Ze was not dead. Because of his illness, just lie to him."

Xiao Liang said: "Since this is the case, why didn't the Grand Master's Mansion send a letter to the army? In this case, we can send General Ji Ze a letter to dispel his worries."

Yun Zhao quietly pulled Xiao Liang and said, "Stop talking, I don't know how many letters have been sent by the Grand Master's Mansion, but none of them have left the capital."

Xiao Liang said: "What are you talking about! Who is so bold to withhold the letter from the Grand Master's Mansion!"

Yun Zhao said, "More than half of Sanhua's people have been killed, what do you think?"

Xiao Liang suddenly understood: "It's the father! Why did he do this?"

Yun Zhao said: "The Ji family is the mother family of the crown prince, and now the Dian Kingdom has been destroyed, and its reputation has been greatly shaken, while the Gu family is His Majesty's wife family, but it has been completely wiped out, leaving only Gu Qingmo as a woman. Do you think Your Majesty What would he think? He would really think that Gu Zhao's death in southern Xinjiang was purely accidental? He would believe that a Qin Xin had the power to reach the heavens, and he could capture King Zhao alive and go to the Kingdom of Dian? I'm afraid that in His Majesty's heart, It was the Crown Prince who was concerned about the King of Zhao, so he let Jize do something. If General Jize was seriously injured this time, it would be justified, but he came back unscathed, it is inevitable that people would suspect that the serious injury before was just a bitter trick."

Xiao Liang said: "This... no wonder the palace just said that Concubine Shu is seriously ill, presumably she has already noticed His Majesty's tricks."

Yun Zhao said, "You old man is really cruel and ruthless, and you treat heroes like this. Fortunately, he still has a bit of pity for Zhao Wang's son."

Xiao Liang said, "How is King Zhao doing now?"

Yun Zhao said: "He watches over the child every day, or else he is in a daze. It can be said that he is broken, decadent and dejected, and he has no half of the old spirit."

Xiao Liang sighed, and didn't say any more, his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what was going on in Ji Lan's house now.Fortunately, I can go to see him tomorrow, but I probably won't be as close as in the army anymore.

Xiao Liang asked: "Cousin, what difficulties did you encounter when you searched those money and belongings together with King Zhao?"

Yun Zhao said, "Speaking of it...it's not too difficult, but one person has been arrested and temporarily locked up in that secret room in your study."

Xiao Liang was shocked: "Who?"

Yun Zhao said, "Your cousin sister-in-law."

Xiao Liang was stunned: "What did you say?"

Yun Zhao said helplessly, "I said, it's your cousin."

Xiao Liang nodded and said, "Then why are you locked in the secret room?"

Yun Zhao said: "I didn't lock him up, but to lure other people. But I figured it out, since you're back, I won't go fishing, so I'll let him go."

Seeing that there was something in his words, Xiao Liang was even more surprised, and asked, "Cousin, what's going on?"

Yun Zhao was helpless, so he turned his head and walked away, and stopped talking.Xiao Liang was suspicious, so he went to the secret room by himself, but he saw that Pei Shang was really there, but this time he was very indifferent.

On the second day, Xiao Yi took Concubine Ji Shu and Xiao Liang together to visit Ji Langfeng at the Grand Master's Mansion. Unexpectedly, there was a big mess, and Ji's family almost disappeared in the capital.
